Faithfully Speak The Truth!







Never, Ever, Feel Guilty For
Ashamed Of 
Or Sorry About 
Speaking The Truth! 

Truth Is Of The Eternal God 
And
Our Faithfully Speaking The Truth 
Provides Us With The Protection Of The Living God!

But ... You Ask
What About All Those Persons Who Spoke The Truth For The Lord 
And Were Either Persecuted, Imprisoned Or Killed 
For Doing The Lord's Bidding!?! 

Beloved, 

The Lord Has Told Us That Our Ways Are Not His Ways
And
Our Thoughts Are Not His Thoughts 

And

He Has Promised Never To Leave Us Or Forsake Us! 

The Lord Opens Locked Prison Cells! 
The Lord Calls Forth The Dead From Their Dusty Beds 
And
He Promises His Peace To His Persecuted Saints 
Even As He Asks Us To Be Of Good Cheer 
Because 
He Has Overcome The World! 

Ponder It ... 

If You Are Living In Comfort 
With The Worldly Wise And The Ungodly
You Will Sincerely Need To Reevaluate Your Christianity 
And
Take Corrective Measures! 

If You Are Being Persecuted
Rejoice 
And
Also Consider That The Lord Also Instructed Us 
To Change Locations When Persecution 
Is 
Dogging Our Every Move! 

Choose To Obey Almighty God Rather Than Man! 
Let The Saving Truth Be Your Faithful Guide! 


A Charge To Keep ... 

Don't Look Back With Vain Longing!
Look Forward With Blessed Hope!
The Creator Of The Universe
Is
Your Savior
And
For Daily Living
He Daily Gives Faith To Cope!

Everything Gifted To Us By Our Savior
Is
A Gift Freely Given
So Dare To Be Greedy, Beloved
And
Take Free Faith
And
Use It
And
At The Appointed Time
Enjoy Eternal Living!

There Is No Faith Without Truth!

HAPPY SABBATH + Going To Jesus Christ For Refuge! + PRAYER: Keep Us Faithful, Lord!




The Repentant Sinner Turned Christian 
Is 
A Refugee
Running From The World Of Sin
Unto Jesus Christ's Sure Salvation!
He Who Was Once A Sinner Bold
Runs To The Lord Christ 
- The Lord Of Life -
For Refuge
AND
He Does Not Continue In Willful Sinning
If
He Desires To Save His Own Soul
AND
The Battle Against Sin
To Win!

That Is A Whole Sermon You Just Preached!

Indeed It Was
And If He Asked For An Offering
I Would Give It Freely!

To Live For, By And In Constant Sin
Is A Matter Of Convenience
Is A Matter Of Choice
Is A Matter Of Wearing A Well-Worn Shoe
BUT
It Gains One No Benefit
No Blessing
In The Walk With The Lord!

Our Going To Jesus Christ For Refuge
Does Not Mean That
We Can Take Over The Lord's House!
It Does Not Mean That
We Can Carry And Maintain Our Cherished Bad Habits
AND
Believe That Jesus Christ Will Permit Us
To Remain In Condition The Same
Just To Make Us Feel Comfortable
AND
By So Doing
Cause His Holy House
His Holy Name
To Be Profaned!

In The Lord's House ...

Is Peace
Rest
Truth
Goodness
Light
Holy Sight!
There Is Faith
Grace
Blessing
Mercy
AND
Correction
AND
Direction
AND
All Who Live In The House
Must Abide By The Conditions
AND
The Rules For Walking 
On The Straight And Narrow Road
OR
They Will Be Cast Out
Into Outer Darkness
Forever Separated From Him Who 
Is 
The Way
The Truth
The Light That Gives Life!

Their Decision Is By Choice
To Walk Wild On The Edge Of A Razor-Sharp Knife!

Those Who Find Refuge In Jesus
Find Peace With Our Father God ...!

...And Live Life Truly Abundantly
Trusting In The Ways Of Our Lord!

We Must Do The Will Of Him Who Calls Us
And Sends Us!

Indeed!
We Must Walk In The Light Of His Life!
We Must Live According To His Desire For Our Lives
AND
We Must Faithfully Look To Him For Our Salvation
Our Only Way Out  Of The Carnal Strife!

Thankfully, There Is Blessing 
For All To Trust In The Lord Jesus!

AMEN!

There Is Hope Of Sure Reward
AND
There Is Pleasant Daily Work
To Keep Our Hands Out Of 
The Damned Devil's Workshop
AND
There's Food And Drink
That Can Only Come For The Holy God!

All Refugees From Sin
Who Run To Jesus Christ The Lord
Will Be Saved Into The Kingdom Of Light
As Long As They Stand Firm
AND
Endure All Things To The End
In The Faith Of Jesus
AND
Not Turn Again To Folly
AND
Living The Life Of A Known Disgrace!

Praise God!

They Will Be 
Enlivened
Immortalized
Crowned
Applauded
Lauded
AND
Feasted
On The Glorious Day
When Only Those
Who Obediently Walked And Talked
AND
Lived And Loved
As Their Master Did
Will Hear His

"Well Done, Faithful Servant!
Enter Into The Joy Of Thy Lord!"

Jesus Christ 
Is
The Rock Of Our Salvation!
The Shepherd Of Our Rest!
Our Strong Tower!
The Prince Of Peace!
The Lord In Whom Is Everlasting Strength!
The Rock Of Ages!
The Life-Giver!
The Creator!
AND
Our Blessedness!

Thank God For Sin-Relief And Death-Release!!


PRAYER:

Heavenly Father,
You Are Our Refuge And Strength
And
Our Ever-Present Help
In Our Times Of Trouble!
Thank You For
The Always Available Grace
Mercy
Faith
Hope
Help
And
Healing!
Thank You For
The Immeasurable Sacrifice
And
The Blessing That Sees Us
Entering Into Your Rest!

Father,
We Come To You
Because You Love Us And Bless Us
And
Because We Willingly Return Your Love
And
Seek To Live In Your Will!
Please Keep Us In Your Care
And
Bless Us To Become What You Have
In Your Wisdom
Ordained Us To Become!

We Repose Our Free Will
And
Our Free Choice
Into Your Safe-Keeping
And
Will To Let You Be
The Sovereign Lord Of Our Lives!

Thank You For The Victory Over Sin
For The Many Blessings
For Which We Did Not Ask
For The Treasures
You Are Helping Us
To Lay Up In Heaven
And For
Our Daily Walking With
Christ The Lord!

Please Keep Us Faithful
And
May The Holy Spirit Ever Abide
And
The Holy Angels Influence Us For Good
And
Ever Protect As We Choose
To Walk In Righteousness
And
Heavenly Wisdom!

Please Bless Us To See Our Jesus Christ
In Sweet Peace
Is Our Hearts' Plea!
Come Soon!
AMEN.

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2017: Christ In You + PRAYER : Lead On, Oh King Eternal!







2017 Is The Year New!
2016 Is The Year Old!
Yesteryear's Bad Habits Are 
Dross
AND
This Year's Good Habits Are 
Pure Gold!

The God Of Heaven 
Provides For His People!
The gods Of The Earth Cannot!
The Faith Of Jesus Christ 
Gives Us Victory Over Sin!
Faith In The Pope
Priests, Pastors
Politicians 
AND
Princes
Presidents 
AND 
Purveyors Of The Botch
Assuredly 
Will Not!
Cannot!

Trust In The Lord Is Not Dead
BUT
Neglecting To Pray
Is A Sure Way To Kill It!
Leaning On The Everlasting Arms
Is Key To Human Survival
AND
Christ In You
The Hope Of Glory
Should Be Paramount
Coloring Our World View
AND
Being
Our Most Prized Lot!

God Does Not Change
BUT
Man Must
To Gain Eternity
Is The Gospel Truth!
Jesus Saves!
He Purchased New Life Passports For Mankind
So
Trust The Word, I Beseech You
Be Ye Rich, Poor
Free, Slave
Youth Or Aged!
Proof Is On The Gospel Page!

We Sin
AND
Christ Cries
For
We Crucify Him Afresh!
So Let's Go To The Cross
Uttering Heartfelt Prayers Of Repentance
Filled With True Remorse
AND
Plead
With Our Heavenly Father
To Direct Our Footsteps
Helping Us To Chart
A "To Victory!" Course!

2017 Is The Year New!
2016 Is The Year Old!
AND
We Are One Year
One Month
One Week
One Day
One Hour
One Minute
One Second
One Moment
From
Old Things Forever Passing Away
AND
A New Heaven
AND
A New Earth
Holding Eternal Sway
AND
For This, Dear Ones
Let Us Pray ...



Lead On, Oh King, Eternal
You Who For Us
The Victory Won
You Who Shed Blood
Sin
Hell
Death And The Grave To Conquer
You Who Is God's Only Begotten Son!

You Gave Up Glory
For A Cold Dark Grave!
You Gave Up Glorious Robes
For Wretched Rags Of The Slave!
You Gave Up Songs Of Praise
For Sounds Of The Crazed
Just To Save All Who
Will Willingly Utter
Father,
Please Save Us!
Help Us To Walk In Your Blessed Ways!

Father, We Believe!
Please Cleanse Us Of Unbelief!
Father,
Your Great Gift We Gladly Receive!
Protect Us From The Salvation Thief!
Help Us To Live In Godly Fear
And
Turning To The  Man Of Sin
A Dutiful-To-Christ Stone-Deaf Ear!

Help Us To Walk In Your Light
So That At The Appointed Hour
Our Measure Of Faith
Shall Behold
The Most Glorious Sight!

Help Us To Live True
For, Father
We Dearly Desire
In Our Own Flesh
With Undimmed Eyesight
To Behold You!

Help Us, Lord
To Shed Our Self-Made
Self-righteous
Dirty Garments
So That We Will Gain
The White Linen Robes 
Of
Christ's Righteousness!

Please Provide To Use Eye-Salve
To Heal Our Blinded-By-Sin Eyes
And
By Your Grace, Lord
And
Never-Failing Mercy
Help Us To Purchase Of You
That Inestimable Treasure
Eternal Gold
Tried
In The Fire Of Affliction
Blessed To Us Of Jesus' Faith
Because, Lord
We Truly Love You!

Through Grace
Faith
Love
Hope
Trust
Obedience
And
Wisdom's Understanding
With Knowledge Of The Holy,  Lord
Your Children With This World May Cope!
Help Us To Lift Up The Fallen
Feed The Hungry
Provide Holy Insight Into Truth
For Those Who Are Not
The Willful Blind!
Help Us To Clothe The Naked Both Physically
And
In Sheets Made Of The Truth Of The Gospel
As We Ourselves Walk
With Feet Shod In The Gospel
That Speaks Everlasting Peace
And
Eternal Life!

Father,
Help Us To Guard Jealousy
Our Hold On Salvation!
Grant Us A Death-Grip
On Our Life In Jesus Christ
And
Let Our Eyes Blaze With Hope
With Faith's Sight
In Anticipation
Of
Christ's Soon Coming Glory!

Lord, Help To Stand
So That
Our Faith Today
Shall Glory In The Morrow
When We Shall See Jesus
In Whose Holy Matchless Name
We Make Our Petitions In This New Year
On This New Day!
Remember Us, Lord
Is Our Daily Prayer
And
We Love You True
Is What We In Faith Say!
Help To Do As You Say
And
Not What Eye Servants Do
For We Are You Servants
And
Desire Our Works To Bless You!
AMEN!

Luke-warm AND ... Loving It?! + PRAYER: Lord, I Am A Sinner







Rich!
                Increased With Goods!
                                                           Don't Need A Thing!

The World's Ills Can't Us Sting!



What A Joke!

Excuse Me?!

You Are Really Fooling Yourselves!

Really?!
Says Who!?!

Can't You Feel That You Are Wretched?
Stop Pretending You Are Happy
AND
From Sin Walk Away!
Acknowledge You Have A Problem
AND
Seek God For The Solution!
Living For The Praise Of Man
Places You Squarely In The Eternal Judge's Hands!

Everybody Can See That You Are Quite Miserable!
Everybody Can Hear When
While Holding Hands
You War For Supremacy!
Stop Trying To Fool The World
With Your Claims Of God's Approval
AND
Accept That Your Glitter Is Not Fooling Anybody!

Don't You Understand That You Are Poor In God's Sight?
Don't You Understand That God Sees Not As Does Man?
Are You Not Aware That Your Eyes Are Fair Oozing
AND
When You Wipe Them There's Yampee On Your Hand?

Didn't You Know That You Were Blind 
When You Led The Polished Gathering Into That Ditch?
It's Shameful That You Are So Bold
AND
Wrong In The Preaching Of Let Us Gain Covet
As You Were Panning For Earth's Fools Gold Bright Nuggets!

You May Be Well-dressed But Your Butt Is Quite Naked 
AND
The World Can Fair See Your Great Shame!
Look To The Lord
For Real
AND
Stop Faking It!
Look To The Glad Day
AND
Stop Casting Your Sure Inheritance Away!

I Beg Your Pardon!
We ARE The Church Of God
And God Really Blesses!
Look At Us!
Do We Look To You To Be Miserable
Wretched Poor?!
Some Of Us Wear Glasses
So We Cannot Be Blind
And We Can't Be Naked
For Our Clothing Comes
From The Likes Of Such As Christian Dior!

You REALLY Are Wretched
Miserable
Poor AND Naked!
You Are So Full Of Yourself
You Can't Even Walk Through The Open Door
Which The God Of The Ransomed Church
Has Laid Open For His Faithful 
Those Ones Who Acknowledge
That By Themselves
They Are Truly Poor!

Jesus Christ, Himself
Sends This Message Unto You:


Thou Art Luke-warm

And I Will Spew Thee
Out Of My Mouth!


Anoint Thine Eyes With Eyesalve 
That Thou Mayest See!

Buy Of Me White Raiment
To Cover The Shame Of Thy Nakedness!
Buy Of Me Fire-Tried Gold
That Thou Mayest Truly Be Rich!

Those Whom I Love
I Rebuke And Chasten!
So, Correct Your Walk
Least I Say Unto Thee
Thou Worker Of Iniquity
Departest Thou From Me!


You Are Kidding, Right!

God Does Not Kid!

Earthly Awards And Rewards
Speak Not Of God's Approval!
Position And Power
Don't Mean God Approves Of You Today
AND
Access Dress
Prowess And Investments
Do Not Mean
You Have A Free Pass
AND
Will Unfailingly Walk Through
Heaven's Golden Gate Ingress!

Be Zealous For God!
Repent Of Your Transgressions!
Jesus Himself Is Knocking At Your Heart's Door!
If You Will Hear Him
Don't Harden Your Heart!
Let Him In
AND
Eat With Him
AND
In The Great Day
After You The World Overcoming
You Will Sit With Him
In His Glorious Throne
At The Time Of Celebrating 
Your Longed For Homecoming!

Scales Fell Out Of Blinded Eyes

AND 

Praying Is Heard ...!



*********


PRAYER:

Dear Lord,
I Am A Sinner, And How!
I Really Liked That Pretty Stuff
But
It Left Marks On My Hands
And In My Head
And Peace From Me Has Surely Fled!

I See My Error!
I Acknowledge That I Have A Need Of You
And I Recognize 
That I have Been Walking In Shoes
On The Deadly Path
That Truly Took Me Away From You!

You Say I Can Call You, Father!
Father, I Know
I Have Been Walking The Wrong Way
So, In The Name Of Jesus
Forgive Me
And Teach Me How To Walk Right
And Live The Right Way!

Renew Me!
Remake Me!
Bless Me!
You Know How!
I Make My Stand Today!
Take Me, Lord!
I Am All Yours Now!
I Humbly Vow!
AMEN.
