VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Temptation And Self-Deception!






Being Tempted Is Not Sin! 
Yielding To Temptation 
Is 
Sin! 
Think Carefully About This Difference! 

How Hungry Are You For Fame And Fortune!?! 

Would You Stoop Down Low 
To Hurt Someone You Dearly Love 
To Acquire Money, Power, Privilege, And Prestige!?! 

Would You Go As Far As Judas Iscariot!?! 

Would You Be So Self-Deceived As To Believe That 
You Could Twist The All-Knowing, Eternal, God's Hands 
To "Make" Him Do What You Want 
So That You Would Have 
Your Deceitful Heart's Rotten Desires!?! 

Beloved, 

A Barking Bird Is Not A Dog 
And 
Raising Up Your Own God 
Bearing The Name Self Or Other
Does Not Make You The Creator God!

Power Trips Fail
For
Lack Of Power!

Be Warned ... 

Be Not As The Betrayer 
Who Sold Thick Gold To Buy Thin Silver!
 
Please Do Not ... Under Any Circumstance 
Become Filled With The Sense That 
Being Close To Your Creator Makes You His Surrogate
- His Stand-In -
To Do As You Please! 

Self-Deception
Is
An Aphrodisiac!


The Truth Is That 
Temptations Are Normal 
Aka Common To Man

And

We ... Mortal Beings 
Are Called To Walk The Lonesome Road 
By Grace, Through Faith! 
We Are Not Alone! 

We Are Not Called 
To Build Castles In The Sand! 

We Are Called 
To Get Ourselves To The Rock Of Our Salvation
To Him Who Is The Way Home
The Truth That Points, Guides And Delivers Us Home
The Light That Clearly Shows The Path Of Righteousness
Our Shelter In The Times Of Storm! 

Remember, Remember
Don't Ever Forget ...

Riches Rot! 
Power Poisons! 
Prestige Withers Away 
But
Jesus Christ Stands Eternal! 

Brethren, Beloved

Please Do Not Confuse Living In A Rich House 
With Being In The Heavenly Home: 
Earth Is Not Heaven! 
Aggressively Guard Your Heart! 
Pray Without Ceasing! 
Stay On The Upward Way!

Peace! 


Live
For
Jesus Christ
Alone!

Consequences Of Choice!

Well ...

Only Jesus Christ Saves
So
I Hope That You Know That
Consequences
Are Bound Up In Your Contrary Choice!

I Hope That You Know
That It Is Your Voice
That Made The Choice
AND
It Is Your Own Personal Decision
Whether You Will Cry Or
Rejoice!

I Guess So!
My Life!
My Voice!
My Choice!
Got A Problem With It?!

Not At All!
I'm Just Saying
Your Party!
Your Funeral!
Your Loss!
Your Gain!

If You Live A Lie And Die
In Jesus Christ's Presence
You Shall Mourn And Cry!

If You Live In The Heavenly Light
Keeping Jesus Christ In Your Sight
You Will Take The Then Immortal Saint's Flight
To Eternal Delights!

When You Play With The Devil!
You Ignore The Lord!
You Put Another On God's Throne
AND
You Willingly Worship The Fraud!

Alright Already!
I Get You!
What Do You Want From ME!

I Want Nothing From You!
I'm Just A Messenger!
I Love You
BUT
I Can't Save You
BECAUSE
I Did Not Die For You!

Jesus Christ Is The One Who Wants Your Heart
To Bow To His Will
AND
Have You Walking Faithfully According To His Way!
It's No Biggie!

Actually
It Is A Big Deal!
Satan Is Well Pleased With This One
Because He Has Given Him A Notch Up In His Score!
Satan Is Well Satisfied
- All Things Being Current -
That This One 
Will Never Walk Through Heaven's Gate Door!

I Am Not A "This One!"
I Am A Person!

Sorry!
I Thought You Were Just A Number
A Notch
A Commodity
A Perk For The Devil
Who You Are Permitting To Deny You
Soul Salvation!

Satan Is Not Denying Me Anything!
I Live However I Feel Like!

Let's See:
Uncontrolled Temper!
Yielding To Temptation!
Telling Lies!
Worshipping Things!
Fornicating!
Stealing!
Practicing Deceits!
Doubting Almighty God!
Bold Law Breaking!
Indulging In Known Cheats!

That Is All Wickedness!
And We All Know That Wickedness
Is Planned Sin
Aka Iniquity!

Not Good! Not Good! Not Good At All!

I Am My Own Man!
Do You Need Me To Repeat!

No, Not At All!
If You Don't Repent
AND
Change Your Ways
You Will Soon Hear The Holy God Say:

Leave "Ephraim" Alone With His Idols ...!

... He Could End Up Like King Saul!

As He, Himself, Says
That Will Be His Personal Choice!

Sooo...

We Have Come Full Circle! 

Your Choice!
Your Voice!

Will You Cry?! 
Will You Rejoice?! 

See You Later!!

Heyyy?! 
What Happened To King Saul?!
Who Is Ephraim?!

Glad You Asked!
Let's Talk About Disobedience ...!

... And Willful Waywardness ...!

... And Really Trusting The Living God!
