HAPPY SABBATH + The Prize Fight!





















 

Everybody And Anybody That Thought Themselves 
Somebody Now ... Or Somebody Rising
Was There! 

Stand Against Wrong Was Up Against 
Always Do Right! 

Semantics Was The Big MC! 

The Plebes And The Non-Entities Were Far Back
Waiting, Watching, Wondering What The Big Deal Was About! 

The Professed And Practicing Christians Were Praying 
Because 
They Knew That Standing Against Wrong And Always Do Right 
Are Husband And Wife 
In The Sight Of The Holy God 
And 
That Means That They Are One Flesh ... Inseparable! 

The Nominal Christians Were Salivating
Desiring A Knock-Out Blow 
But 
Would Settle For A No-Decision Decision 
After A Bruising Dust-Up Between SAW And ADR! 

The Fight Hadn't Even Started 
But 
You Could Already Smell Blood In The Air! 



Lord, 
Be Merciful To Us Sinners Known Saved
Only By Your Unfailing Grace! 



Beloved, 

Think On The Lord Jesus
Follow Where He Walked Doing As He Did
And 
Be Gloriously Blessed! 

Now To The Business At Hand! 

It Is Only When Itching Ears Engage 
And/Or Purchase The Services Of Hireling Aka Under-Shepherds 
Who Commit To Telling The People What They Want To Hear
How And When They Want To Hear It
That We See Stand Against Wrong And Always Do Right 
Become Oppositional
Adversaries Of Truth
Enemies Of Good And Almighty God! 

Dear Ones, 

If You Are A Child Of The Great King
Stand Against Wrong And Always Do Right
- In Your Life In Christ -
Will Hold Hands In The Ring Built By The Devil 
And 
Walk Companionably, Unfazed
In The Savior's Light That Leads To His Eternal Life! 

Please Prayerfully Think On This Matter 
And
Firmly Close This Case With A 


"Thus Saith The Lord!" 

Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Grace Is Strength And Truth Is Light!




Since God Is Our Refuge And Strength 
And Jesus Christ Is The Word 
And The Word Is The Truth 
And The Word Is God
Then 
Jesus Christ Is God, Our Strong Refuge! 

Since Grace Is Strength 
And Truth Is Light
And Light Is The Life Of Every Man
And Jesus Is The Light Of The World
Then 
Every Man Needs Life
Every Man Needs Jesus Christ
Every Man Needs God Who Is The Author Of Life 
Who Gives Faith Without Which No Man May Please God 
Who Reigns And Rules 
And Has Provided Rules For The Road 
Upon Which Man Must Obediently Travel With Endurance 
If 
He Is To Get Home To God 
Who Is Both Kind King And Righteous Judge 
And High Priest And Advocate 
Who Was Made Sin For Us 
But 
Was Sinless
And Spotless
And Blameless
And Clean To Clean The Spotted
And Pure To Purify The Putrid
And Is Love Loving The Unlovely 
Who Unwisely Reject His Wisdom 
Which Is Truth Pointing To Life 
Which Lights This World Of Sin 
Whereon Dwells Sinners 
Whom He Calls To Receive Salvation From The Friend 
Who, Indeed, Is He Who, Alone, Saves Sinners 
Who, Indeed, Are We All 
Who Must Confess And Repent Of Our Sin 
If 
We Are To Stand Forgiven And Cleansed 
Before The Throne Of Grace 
Which Throne Belongs To Christ Who Is Our Righteousness
Who Is Our Refuge And Strength From In The Beginning 
Where God Created The Heavens And The Earth
The Sea And All That Is In Them 
Whether Fallen Or Standing Firm In The Faith Of Jesus
The King Of Glory
Who Invites Us Willing 
To Enter The Abode Of The Blessed Of God And Christ 
Who Is Our Only Hope For Help, Healing
And 
For Heaven At The Last Trumpet Of God 
Who Is Holy, Just, And Ever True! 

Think About It
And 
Believe And Live! 

Peace!

Happiness Is To Know King Jesus!



What "Makes" You Happy!?! 
Are You Happy!?! 

If Something Or Someone Could Make You Happy
What Or Who Would It Be!?! 

Beloved, 

Unhappy People Don't Like Happy People! 
Angry People Don't Like Calm People! 
Proud People Don't Like Humble People
And
Sinners Don't Like Practicing Christians 
And Yet
All Claim To Be Happy In Their Present Condition: 
Who Is Right!?! 

NEWS FLASH: --

Happiness Via Acquiring Things 
And Using Things To Draw People To Your Side 
Is Not Happiness! 

Just Doing Things To Be Happy
Mouthing Affirmations To Feel Happy
And 
Doing Service Projects To Show That We Are Happy 
Cannot And Will Not Make Us Happy 
When All Of Our Outward Acts To Fill An Inward Need 
Are Stripped Away! 

Think About It ...

Could You ... An Innocent Person
Be "Happy" Locked Away In A Dank, Dismal, Dirty Dungeon 
When All Of Your Sayings, Doables, 
And 
Feelings Of Happiness 
Are Stripped Away!?! 

Dear Ones, 

There Is No True And Lasting Happiness 
And
Contentment 
Outside Of Or Without Being Contented In Christ 
Or Happy In Jesus! 

When Your Roof Flies Off
The Engine Drops Out Of Your Conveyance
And 
Your Withdrawals Ain't Got No Deposits 
But
You're Standing On The Promises Knowing That 
Almighty God Will Provide 
Because
You Have Decided To Follow Jesus ... No Turning Back
You Can Sleep On Rocks 
And 
Eat Grass
And 
Smile Peacefully 
Because 
Jesus Christ The King Has You Sheltered Under His Wings! 

Lashes, Lies, And Loss Have No Leverage 
Against One Who Lovingly Trusts 
The Lord Of Life, Our Creator! 

Wisdom Helps Us To Decide To Be Happy ... In Jesus!  

Peace!

Air Of Entitlement!?!





 







The Air Of Entitlement 
Should Be A Gut-Wrenchingly Awful Stench 
In The Nostrils Of The Committed-To-Christ Christian! 

Beloved, 

If You Work For A Paycheck, Expect It! 
If You Pay For An Item Or A Service, Expect It! 
If You Have Neither Worked For 
Nor Paid For The Things That You Desire
Get Wise
And 
Get To Stepping Correctly! 

The Old Expression 
"Take What You Want And Pay For It!" 
Should Be Front And Center 
In The Minds Of Sinners And Saints Alike! 

Jesus Christ Calls All Sinners To His Free-To-All Salvation: 
All Who Accept Will See Trial, Tribulation, Temptation
Peace, Joy, Love, And Blessing
Be Hated Without A Cause
And 
At The Regeneration 
Enjoy Eternal Life! 

Satan Offers To All Sinners
Especially Those Of The Unrepentant Class
His Free-To-All Damnation: 
All Who Accept Will See Fun, Frolic
Thrills, Spills
Trials, Terrors, Toys
Rejection By Both Satan And The Savior
And 
The One-Way Trip To Burning-Bath! 

Dear Ones, 

Anything Worth Having, Costs! 

Think And Take Jesus Christ: 
He Paid All Of Your Costs! 

We Are Not Entitled To Receive Blessings: 
They Are Gifts Graciously Given By Our God! 
Believe And Receive! 

Peace!

Have You Ever Seen A Half-Donkey Carrying A Load!?!



Lukewarm Is To Indifferent 
What Hot Or Cold Is To Enthusiastic! 

Beloved, 

Would You Want To Be In A Relationship, A Friendship, Or A Job 
Where Your Presence Is Considered "Meh!" Aka Unimpressive!?! 

Would You Pay Top Dollar For Almost Ice-Cream!?! 

Would You Worship The God Who Almost Created A Moving You
Who Balked At Staying On The Cross To Save You
Who On-Again, Off-Again Contemplates Redeeming You
And 
Ever Tells You To Eat All You Want 
But 
Never Unlocks The Storehouse Of Good And Plenty!?! 

Since We Serve The God Who Can And Does
Who Gave His All To Give You His Best
Why Would You Ever Think That Jesus Christ The Lord Of Life 
Will Ever, Ever, Accept Anything Less Than 
Skin In The Game
Heart-Felt
God Is My All Worship, Praise
And 
Obedience From Any One Of Us!?! 

Jesus Christ Went All-In For Us: 
He Sweated Blood
And
He, Innocent, Gave Up His Life For Us Known Guilty! 
Can We In Truthfulness Do Less 
And 
Still Be Called Committed Christians!?! 

Have You Ever Seen A Half-Donkey Carrying A Load!?! 

If You Can Picture It
Then You Know What An Unenthusiastic
Uncommitted
Unconverted Christian Looks Like! 







It Ain't Pretty
Ain't Serving No Purpose
And 
Ain't Going Nowhere!

Total Commitment To Christ Is Job One! 
The Alternative Is To Be Abhorred! 
Any Questions!?! 

Peace!

Believe The Blessed One!




In The Realm Of Flesh
There Is The Daily, Moment-By-Moment, Struggle 
Between I-See And I-Trust
And 
Between I-Know And I-Feel! 

Be As Those Who Stand In Faith
And Confidently Say:
"I Know And I Trust My Lord Jesus Christ!"

Beloved, 

There Are Two Leaders: 
Satan The Damned 
And 
The Savior Blessed! 

There Are Two Peoples Out Of The Stock Called Sinner 
Aka Obedient And Disobedient
Aka Faithful And Doubtful! 

Only One Group 
Is 
Striving To Be Saints Of God And Christ
And 
Have Chosen Service And Endurance As Their Way Of Life 
In The Quest To Reach The Heavenly Home! 

Who Are You 
And 
Under Which Leader 
Are You Choosing To Energetically Serve!?! 

Do You Know Your Assignment 
And 
Are You Operating To Your Potential 
As Seen Through The Eyes Of The Lord Christ 
Or Are You Allowing The Accuser Of The Brethren
Satan The Base, Known Bold And Brazen 
To Forcefully Remind You Of What You Once Were 
While Trying To Convince You That 
You Are Not Nor Ever Will Be 
Worthy To Ascend To The Heights Unknown 
To Dwell With The Holy Go
d Who Is A Consuming Fire 
To All Who Do Not Renounce Their Sin 
And 
Accept The Free-To-All Salvation!?! 

Our Lord Jesus 
Is 
The Promise-Keeping God 
Who Invites You To Dine At His Table 
On The Good Food That He Constantly Provides 
From The Heart Filled With Love And Caring 
For You  ... Personally! 

To Coin The Old Phrase
"Let Us Wash Out Our Guts" 
And
As Members Of The Clean-Plate Club
Decidedly Sit Down At The Lord's Table 
And 
Eat Like There Is No Tomorrow: 
All Contented-In-Christ Eaters Win The Crown Of Life! 

You Are Greatly Beloved: 
Believe The Blessed One ... Not Beelzebub! 

Peace!

SELF: You Can't Fool Me Again!








Dear Me Looking Back At Me In The Mirror, 

I Am Ashamed Of You 
For Boldly Lying To Me 
By Telling Me That I Have No Sin 
And, Therefore
No Possible Reason To Make Daily Use Of 
The Confession And Repentance Requirement 
For Soul Salvation! 

How Could You!?! 

Your Rank Behavior Smells Decidedly Sulphurous 
And I Want No Part Of It! 

I Believe The Living Word Of The Eternal God 
As It Is Written 
And I Understand And Accept That 
I Sin Daily By Thought, Word, And Deed! 
You Are Not Fooling Me Again! 

By Almighty God's Word And My Personal Experience
I Know For Sure That He Is Not A Liar 
And That It Is In My Best Interests 
To Keep Short Accounts With The Court In Heaven! 
You Need To Die Daily! 

For This Reason
I Will Appreciate Your Keeping Your Mouth Closed 
And Permit The Word Of God To Speak Truth, Peace
Love, Joy, Life, Obedience
Wisdom And Patient Endurance
Through The Knowledge That 
The Dear Savior Has Made Available 
For My Education And Elevation! 

You Say That You Are "Me" 
But I Know That You Are Self-Serving Self: 
Do Me A Favor And Pass Me Like A Full Bus! 

Jesus Christ Is My Lord, My God And My King: 
You Work For Satan, King Fraud
And I Rebuke You In Jesus Christ's Holy Name! 

Please Take Pride Out Of Your Stony Heart
Bend Your Knee
Humbly Look Up To Jesus Christ 
Confess, Repent
And Pray To Live In The Light Of Life! 

Jesus Christ Saves Sinners: 
Make Peace With Almighty God! 

Raise Your Gaze:
I Choose To Bless My Own Soul 
And Trust In Jesus Christ My Lord!

HAPPY SABBATH + Truth AND Faith ... Irretrievably Intertwined!









When You Hear The Truth
And 
Understand What The Truth Means To And For You
If 
There Is In Any Honesty Within Your Heart
You Have No Choice But To Act Judiciously 
Aka With Common-Sense! 

Truth Sets All Sinners Free 
But 
The Only Way To Prove The Truth 
Is 
To Step Out In The Daily-Received Gift Of 
Faith For The Day! 

Beloved, 

Faith And Truth ... Truth And Faith
Are Inextricably Intertwined 
And 
One Without The Other 
Will Not Lead To The Glorious Life Sublime! 

Please Repeat With Nauseating Frequency: 


"There Is No Self In Faith And Truth 
Because
Self Is A Liar 
And
Doubt Is Self's Wisdom Tooth!" 

True Wisdom 
Is 
A Gift From The Lord Of Life 
And
That Wisdom Requires Us 
To Separate Ourselves From Sin, Self
And 
Debilitating, Decimating, Strife! 

Let Us Endeavor Today 
To Give Our Lord Jesus All The Glory 
For His Saving Grace 
And 
Let Us Dare To Work Our Faith 
As We Embrace His Truth 
So That We Will Be Blessed And Saved 
As We Walk With Him 
On The Living, Holy, Strait, Straight Way! 

Truth Lives In Glory: 
Faith Gets You Safely There! 

Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Free-Will And Freedom Of Choice Are Treasures!








Freedom To Exercise Faith By Free-Will 
Is 
To Be Treasured! 

We, All, Need To Realize That 
Our Creator Gave Us Total Control Of 
Our Own Free-Will That 
No One May Usurp, Hijack Or Take Away! 

Along With Our Free-Will 
Is 
Accountability For Our Choices! 

Along With Accountability 
Is 
The Certain Knowledge That 
There Is Only One Way 
To Have Someone Else Take Responsibility 
And
Accept Punishment For Our Personal Sin! 

We Must, By Free-Will, Freely Choose 
To Give Our Free-Will Back To The Lord 
Through Confession Of And Repentance For Sin 
And
Willingly Choosing Our Creator, Jesus Christ The Lord
As Our Everlasting Portion
And
We Must Daily Choose 
To Walk In Willing
          Faith-First
                    Enduring 
                              Obedience Before Him! 

Sinners Are Born! 
Repentance Comes From Confessing Sinners! 
Confessing 
And 
Repenting Sinners Are Free-Will-Exercising Saints 
Who, By Free Choice, Have And Are Tasting 
And 
Seeing That The Lord Is Good 
And
Are Deliberately Turned From Sin Unto Salvation! 

Brethren, Beloved

Jesus Christ Won't Ever Force You To Be A Saint 
And
Satan Can't Ever Force You To Be A Sinner! 

Remember, Remember
Don't Ever Forget ...

Working Faith
Free-Will
Freedom To Choose
And
Love For The Lord 
Lovingly Abide Together ... By Our Personal Choice! 

Free-Will Without Freedom To Choose 
Is 
A Lie: 
The Lord Of Life Can't Lie 
So Dare And Exercise Faith In His Living Word Today! 
Peace!

ADAPTED MINDS BECOME ADEPT: Jaw And Chew This Nugget For A Spell!







For All Amongst Us 
Who Dare And Say That 
They Can Think And Do Whatever They Want 
And
Be Left Unscathed By Sin
Please Jaw And Chew On This Nugget For A Spell: 
Your Mind Adapts To Whatever It Dwells Upon 
And
You Become An Adept At Performing It! 

Sin A Little A Lot
And 
You Shall Sin A Lot A Lot! 

Bottom Line ... 

You Are What You Eat
And
You Get Fleas From Where You Sleep! 

A Repentant Sinner 
Obedient And Enduringly Faithful
Is
A Saint Of God And Christ!

An Unrepentant Sinner
Is
A Sinner Bold ... Heart For Christ Cold
And
Ready Fodder For The Fire That
Shall Satan's Carcass Hold!

Beloved, 
Men, Women And Children Always Follow "Food!" 
The Food They Regularly Ingest 
Is 
The Food They Readily Crave
And 
We Who Call Ourselves Christians 
And 
Boldly Say And Declare 
With The Arrogance Of Self-Confidence Declare That 
We Love The Lord Christ 
And 
Lovingly Read And Swallow The Truth That 
Is 
The Holy Word 
And 
Avidly Live According To Its Precepts And Its Promises 
Should Be Moment-By-Moment Classing Up Our Operations 
As We Travel Undeterred To Hill Zion 
And 
Beautiful Beulah Land! 
Let The Lord Christ Hold Your Hand
And
Perfectly Direct Your Life!



Confidence In Christ
Is 
The Reality
Of
The Forever-Blessed! 


Brethren, Beloved, 

When We Eat Junk As Regular Food
We Get Fat! 

Remember, Remember 
Don't Ever Forget ... 

Fat Is Synonymous With Sin
And 
All Fat ... All Sin
Is 
To Be Willingly Surrendered To Christ Jesus! 

We Must Be Transformed By The Renewing Of Our Minds 
Which Reforms The Thoughts We Have
Which Removes Our Desires For The Unholy And Profane 
So That We No Longer Desire 
To Touch The Unclean Things! 

By Almighty God's Great Grace
With Faith For The Victory
Choose To Remove 
And 
Drop As Dung
Satan's Nasty Nose Rings!

Be Ye Clean Ye Which Bear 
And 
Are The Vessels Of The Lord! 



Peace With Jesus Christ
Is
Paradise!

BOW BEFORE THE LORD JESUS CHRIST: Don't Burn With The Damned Devil!






We Will Do Ourselves The Greatest Favor 
When We Recognize That 
The Living God 
Is 
No Respecter Of Persons! 

There Is No List Marked: 
"Can't Do Right-Sinner!" 
And 
There Is No List Marked: 
"Can't Do Wrong-Saint!" 

Beloved, 
Before Aka In The Presence Of The Eternal God
There Is Not One Of Us 
Who Is Able To Say To The Lord:


"I Am Not A Sinner! 
I Am Righteous! 
I Am Clean! 
I Am Without Sin! 
I Am -  By Right
Entering Your Family-Home!" 


Any One Of Us ... Mere Mortals 
Who Can Confidently Tell Almighty God 
How Squeaky-Clean He Or She Is
Is 
God Almighty! 

If You're Mortal, You're Man! 
If You're A Man, You're A Sinner! 
If You're A Sinner, You Need The Savior! 
If You Need The Savior, You're Unclean! 

Since You're Known-Unclean
You Have Nothing To Give The Lord Of Life 
And
You Shall Surely Perish At His Presence 
Because 
He Is The Consuming Fire: 
The Brightness Of His Holiness 
Destroys Sinners And Sin! 

Jesus Christ Paid For Us To Be Made Clean! 
Our Self-Righteous-Cleanness 
Is 
Filthy Rags: 
Get Clean And White Linen
- The Character Of Christ - 
From Christ The King
- The Only One Righteous - 
And 
Save Yourself 
From Having The Shame Of Your Nakedness
- Your Sin - 
Publicly Exposed! 

There Is Profit In Repentance 
But 
Never In Satanic Pride! 
Bow For Worship 
And 
In HeartfeltPraise:
Don't Burn In Destruction By Damnation
Because 
You Reject The Promise
The Offer 
The Gift
The Blessing Of Revival And Reformation!


Perfect Peace
In **And** From
Almighty God
Is
Possible
And 
Provided!

Living In Truth Is Peace!






How Can Almighty God Forgive Our Sin 
When We Do Not Confess Our Sin!?! 

How Can We Confess Sin 
Which We Refuse To Believe Is Our Very Own!?! 

Surprise, Surprise ... 

Denial Can't Change Truth! 

All Mankind Is Born In Sin 
And 
All Living Are Liars 
So All Of Us Are Sinners! 
That's Bible 101: Book It! 

Beloved, 

It Is Not A Robed, Crowned, Man 
Nor Mankind 
Nor That Damned Satan 
Who Determines What Is Sin 
And 
Designates Who Is A Sinner 
Or What Is Or Is Not The Required Punishment! 

The Lord Jesus 
Is 
The Judge Of All Flesh! 
It Is He Who Wrote The Law 
On The Tables Of Stone For General Moses
And 
It Is He Who Laid Down His Life For Our Lives 
So That We All Have The Opportunity 
To Get Our Hearts Right With Almighty God
Father, Son And Holy Spirit! 

Please, I Beseech Us All
Do Not Indulge In The Prideful Presumption 
Exercised By Then-Lucifer Now-Satan 
By Exalting Your Status In Your Own Mind 
And 
Challenging Your Creator For His Own Throne! 
The Earth Belongs To God Just As We Belong To God! 

Remember, Remember 
Don't Ever Forget ... 
 
The Proud And Presumptuous Will Perish
And
The Humble And The Heeding Are Headed To Heaven! 

The Difference Between The Two 
Is 
That The Humble Heart Hears And Obeys The Truth
And 
Prays For Power To Be Penitent Aka Sorry!
Don't Let Pride Pry Paradise Out Of Your Palm! 


There Is No Condemnation
For Those Who Love
The Lord Jesus Christ
And
Live By The Faith That Saves!


Living In Truth Is Peace! 
Truth Is Peace!

The I AM That Is ... For Us!


 




It Is The Latest Catch-Phrase: 
"It Is What It Is!" 
And 
Everybody Is Buying And Selling It! 
Whoo Hoo! 

There Is A Bounding, Binding, Truth That Was
That Now Is
And
That Shall Be Forevermore: 
"I AM That I AM!" 
And 
We Would All Do Well To Run To It
Stand By It 
And
Live For It 
For It Is The Dear Name Of 
The Great God Who Is Our Maker, Savior
Redeemer, Friend, God And King 
And
Judge
Protector, Provider, Hope And Help
The Lover Of Our Souls Who Loves Us With A Sacrificial 
And
Everlasting Love 
Who Hates Sin 
But 
Loves Us Sinners
Who Will Not Clear The Guilty 
But
Will Cleanse Us Of The Guilt Of Our Own Sin! 

This God ... Our God Almighty
Is 
Amazingly Awesome 
And
He Is Slow To Be Angry With Us Frail, Finite 
And 
Often Foolish Creatures

 ... And ... 

Glory Be To Jesus Christ Who Saves
Through The Holy Spirit Of Truth Who Abides
He Loves Us With The Everlasting Love That 
Will Chastise Sin
Correct Bad Habits
Comfort Sorrow And Pain
Carry The Helpless
And
Celebrate Our Victories Over Sin And Self! 

Beloved, 

Let's Embrace The Unchanging God ... The I AM
And 
Celebrate That ... In Him 
We Have Salvation From Sin Known Sordid! 

Be Free: 
Almighty God ... I AM That I AM ... Is For Us! 


Pursue Peace With Shiloh
The Prince Of Peace!
