CANAAN OR SODOM: Riches Don't Make You Rich Or Righteous!







All That Glitters Is Not Gold 
And 
Profit Ain't Profitable 
If 
It Costs Your Purchased-From-Sin Soul! 

Abraham And His Nephew, Lot, Were Both Believers! 
Abraham Chose To Stay In The Gift Of The Lord, Canaan
The Land Flowing With Milk And Honey
Where Blessings Abided And Abounded 
And 
Honest Labor Ended The Day In Peaceful Sleep 
As Rest For The Weary! 

Lot Chose To Be Led By The Lust Of His Eyes 
Toward The Pride Of Life 
Where Idleness
Fullness Of Bread 
And 
Abominable Sin 
Were Altogether The Way Of Life! 

Lot Leisurely Entered Sodom Aka Sin City, Rich 
In The Faith Of God 
And 
In The Abundance Of Worldly Goods! 

Lot Hurriedly Left Sodom With His Faith And His Life! 

Being Rich Doesn't Make You Blessed 
And 
Being Poor Doesn't Make You Cursed! 

Beloved, 

Let Us This Day Choose To Remain 
Within The Boundaries Of The Goodly Land
The Blessed Land Of Almighty God
Even Though It Appears Devoid Of The Noise, Activity 
And 
Fun 
And 
Frolic Of Worldly Prosperity 
Because 
It Is Also Free From All That Defiles Us
Body, Mind And Spirit! 

Almighty God's People Are Rich In Faith 
And 
Blessed With Grace And Mercy 
So Let's Stay Where We Will Be Blessed Of The Lord!

There Is No Do-Over
So Dare, Today, To Life For Jesus Christ The Lord! 

Peace!

HIDDEN FROM MAN: Open To Almighty God!

Too Doubtful To Dare Have Faith!
Too Faithless To Will To Endure!
Too Worried To Have Trust In God
But
Oh, So Willing
To Embrace The Willful Ways Of
The Fraud Who Wants The Worship
Due To The Eternal God!

Too Proud To Be Humble!
Too Vain To Be Wise
And
Too Wayward And Willful To See 
How Wicked Are Satan's Base And Bold Lies!

Too Sharp-Tongued To Consider
That Man Must Account For His Words!
Too Angry To Consider That
Unchecked Emotions Sharpens Swords!

Too Wasteful To Even Wonder
What Want Is To Those Who Have None!
Too Callous-Minded To Wonder
If Contemplated Actions Are Whispers From
The Evil Mind Of That Devil, Satan!

Too Wild To Exercise Will-Power!
Too Weak-Willed To Deny Self!
Too Selfish To Think Of Others
But
Wantonly Demanding The Satisfaction Of Personal Desire
Even While Knowing That That Desire
Always Leads To Torment's Blazing Fire!

But ... 

There Is A But That Puts A Period To Known Sin
And
All Who Choose To Follow Self
And
Walk In The Shadows ... In The Darkness 
With Him Who Dishonored Almighty God
And
Denigrated And Demeaned
Tormented And Murdered
The Father's Only Begotten Son
And
Sowed The Seeds Of Discontent
Disobedience, Destruction And Death
Jealousy, Envy, Greed, Hate
Murden, Mendacity, Mediocrity
Hedonism, Idolatry
False Oaths, False Witness
Sorrow And Pain
Shall Never Know Jesus Christ's Salvation
Which, Always, Is Eternal Gain!

Rich ... In Trespasses ...

Think And Do ... Wrong!
Do Wrong And Be ... Damned
Damned To Eternal Separation
Permanent Darkness ... Nothingness
Never, Ever, Seeing The Eternal Goodness
The Eternal Light
The Light That Heals And Seals!

Rich ... In Jesus Christ The Lord ...

Think ... And Pray ... And Do ... Right!
Do Right And Be ... Blessed
Blessed To Live For Eternal Ages
Glorified, Immortalized
In Eternal Peace 
With The Holy One Who Is Our Peace
Who Gives Us His Peace
In This Present Evil Age
A Peace That Passes Human Understanding
So That We Do Not With Satan Rage
Disgracing The Holy Name
The Name Above All Names
That Does Not, Cannot, Will Not
Ever Cause The Believer ... The Faithful Saint
To Know Or Feel Ashamed!

Think About The Lord Christ ...




There's Sunlight, Daylight
Twilight, Moonlight 
And 
Electric Light And More
But 
There Is No Light More Necessary 
To The Life Of Man Than The Light Of Life
The Sun Of Righteousness
The Son Of The Living God
Jesus Christ The Lord
The Life Of Every Man! 

Jesus Christ The Righteous
- Into Whose Hands Is Given All Things -
Sees, Knows, And Feels All Things
And 
Is In Everything 
And 
There Is Nothing That We Hide From Man 
That Is Not Known To Him! 

You May Hide And Buy Land
But You Can't Hide And Reap It!

If What You're Doing Must Be Hidden From Man
Then It Is Time To Stop Doing It! 
Jesus Christ Is Our Judge 
And 
He Knows The Answers To All The Questions
That You Will Have To Answer
So You Can't Lie To Him! 

I Beseech You, Brethren,

Do The Good 
And The Right 
And Walk In The Son's Light 
To Be Saved And Blessed! 
Humble Yourself
And 
Live Abundantly ... Now
To Live Gloriously ... Later
And
Forever! 

If Someone Cannot Give You True Bread
Do Not Permit Them To Take
Your Known, Tried And Tested Biscuit
From Almighty God
Out Of Your Needy Mouth!


A Little Bit
Gratefully Received
 From The True And Living God
And
By Faith Eaten ... Utilized
In The True Light
*** With Contentment ***
Is
Pure Gold
When Compared To
The Mountains Of Pyrite
- Fool's Gold -
- The Dust Of Disobedience -
Used To Indulge Sin
Received From The Accursed Hand
Of
Satan The Damned
Who Cannot Create
And
Who Only Destroys!

RICHES


RICHES!


Riches without SORROW – only God can give
For the rich man in his greed thinks he'll outlive
The poor, the meek, the beggar in the street
Because he trusts his riches against God to compete!




Riches without FEAR – only God can give
For the rich man in his arrogance thinks he has no need
For child-like faith, or Almighty God in his life
Since with his money he purchases the bodyguards he feeds!


Riches without GUILT – only God can give
For the rich man in his great pride believes
His money entitles him to achieve
Whatever, and whoever, his lusts can conceive to receive!


Ah, rich man, now poor man – if only you knew
The God of Creation is always watching you
To see if your riches will to His Glory attend
Or give you the things that'll cause you into hell to descend!


Repent ye, this day, and to the Lord give your praise
Don't worship the things that fade and rust away
Be kind to the unfortunate, the downtrodden, the weak
And at the first resurrection, up to Heaven, you'll be raised! **BJC**
