Myriad Ways To Lie


How Do YOU Lie?!





Saturday, July 2, 2016

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: The True Way Leads Home

Her Name Was Waywardness!
His Name Was Willfulness!
There Son Was Worthlessness!
The Daughter
Defy!

They Lived In Carelessness!
The Mayor Was Conscienceless!
The Officer Spinelessness!
The Priest
World Pacify!

The Maid Was Remorseless!
The Manner Divisiveness!
The Cause Godlessness!
The Way Was Wide!

The Witness Was Giddy Liedness!
The Judge Was Rudderless!
The Prosecutor Gutless!
The Defender Was Witless!
The Plague Was Hornets Nests!
The Call Was For Faultlessness!
The Tone Was "Do Not Edify!"

One Day ...

Wisdom To Town Moved In

The Next Day True Worship Joined Him
Peace And Rest Brought
The Children
Hope And Glory With Them
Don't Believe Satan's Lies Casually Dropped By!

Sabbath Rest Arrived The Day After Monday
True Worship Invited
Constancy And Righteousness To Preach And Proselytize
Which Caused
Stern Rebuke And
Blameless Before God
To Pitifully Sigh And Cry!
AND
Glib Glum
Loose Screw
And Limp Liar The Town Crier
Went On A Smear Campaign
To Right Living Not Justify!

Battle Lines Were Drawn In The Air
Fraud And Frame
Took Up Comfy Chairs
License And Liberty
Uttered Raucous Cheers
AND
Petty Putrid
Threw Sticky Pastry Prods Every Where!

BUT ...

The Spirit Of Truth
Is Working!
Prayer Without Ceasing Is Petitioning!
Saints Of God Are At Work Unstinting
AND
God's Grace
Without Measure
Rests On The Hearers Of Truth Willing
While The Wild And Woolly
Themselves Lyingly Justify!


AS IS TO BE EXPECTED ...

Some Resisted Salvation Call
BUT
Those Hungry For Truth
Reached Out The Hand
AND
The Willfull Swore
We Can Do What We Like!
We Can!  We Can!
And Arch Deceiver
Hooted And Hollered
And Fired Baser Instincts From The Low Rider Van
And Blight On The Land
Rained Fusticuffs
On Valiant For God's Gray Head!

SURPRISE! NO SURPRISE ...

The More God's Faithful
Were Abused Harassed
By Devil Inspired And His Large Clan
The More The People
From Whom Had Been Hidden The Truth
Turned Their Backs On
The Dark Age
AND
Boldly
Entered The Holy Light!

Minions Of Darkness
Hated The Holy Light
For
Their Deeds Were Evil
AND
Holy Light Exposed Them
With Camera Shots Real Tight!

From Darkness Into Light!
Soon Became The Loudest Refrain
AND
The Dark Shadows Started Lifting
As The Latter Rain Came!

Worship God!
Give Glory To Him!
The Hour Of His Judgment Is Come!
Get Out From Among Them!
Confusion Is Fallen!
Confusion Is Fallen!
Jesus Christ Is Coming
For Faithful Believers All
Get Out From Among Them!
Don't Suffer Their Plagues
Which Are About To Fall!

No Need To Fear!
Faithful Is Spared!
You Will See With Your Eyes
BUT
Have Nothing
About Which To Be Scared
For
Your Bread And Water Is Secured
And All Their Evil Machinations
Have No Standing
Save But To Damnation
At The Hand Of Almighty God!

The Remnant
Those Answering Few
Stand Up For God
Not Bowing Their Knee
To The Fraud!

They Pray
Supplicating
The Great God Of Grace
Trusting The Holy Word
Knowing
Believing The Word
On Earth
Cannot Be Changed
OR
Reversed!
They Chose To Live
For The Lover
The Lover Of Their Souls
Refusing The Pleasures Of Sin For A Season
Choosing
To Suffer
With The Blessed People Of God!

Their Lives Were Embitted
BUT
Their Faces Displayed
Love Joy
AND
Sweet Peace
AND
They Wrestled With Their God
Refusing To Let Him Go
Until The Blessing Upon Them Is Conferred!
Blessed Is The Relief!

Grace For Each Day
Hope Renewed Each Day
Trusting Each Moment
Of Each Day
Is Their Living Truth!

Our God Is Able!
Is Coming!
AND
We Have His Proofs!

We Will Not
Turn Around
Walk Back
NOR
Walk Away!
We Will Continue Praying!
Praying!
Praying!
Our God Is Surely On His Way!

Trust Did Not Die
For
Bad-pay Could Not Kill Him!
False Prophet Had Earthly Profits
BUT
Faithful Folk Did Not Believe His Lies!

Live Fast Died Young Young!
Cool Running Was A Hit Song
Until Redemption Song Came Along
AND
Time To Remember
Caused
Yellow Red
Black White Roses
To Abound
Along Shepherd's Way

BUT ...

Don't Care!
AND
What Fear?
Called Despair
Their Wicked Wasting Fare To Share
As Those Repentant
Rememberers
Gave To Jesus Christ
Their Past
Present
AND
Future
In Saved Soul Delight!

The Story Is Not Over!
The Coming Is Ahead!
AND
Whether Faithful Living
OR
Those Who Believed
Now Dead
At The Coming Of The Conquering King
Dead Plus Living
Will Rise Up To Heaven
Their True King At Their Head!

Then ...

There Will Be
No More Tribulation
No More Grief
No More Bitter Tears To Be Shed
For
The Redeemed Of God
Glorified
Immortal
Eternal
Having Endured Strife
Are At Home
With The Eternal Holy God!

The Message Is Wait! Wait! Wait!
The Manner Is With Faith!
The Oil Is Gladness!
The Food Is Holy Word Bread!
The Comforter Is Holy Spirit!
Protection Is From Strong Angels On The Wing!
The Hope Is In The Precious Promises
From The Living God
On Whom All Faithful
Faithfully Cling!

Be Sober,  I Tell You! 
You! You!
And You, Two!
Be Vigilant
My Brother Sister Friend!
Jesus Christ
Immanuel
God With Us Is Coming

So ...

Be
A Humble
Praise Singing
Prayer Saying
Heaven Anticipating
Child Of The True
Holy Only Godhead

AND

Cling To Truth!
Cling!
Cling!
CLING!!

Our God IS Coming
AND
Contrary To Popular Belief
He Will NOT Be Silent!!

**********


All Will Hear When The Trumpet Of God
AND
The Voice Of The Archangel
Sound!!

Pass The Word Along!







Psst! How Do You Stand?



With The Possession Of
Faith
Virtue
Knowledge
Temperance
Patience
Holiness
Brotherly Kindness
AND
Charity
By The Word Of The Lord
I Can Neither Barren Nor Unfruitful Be!

Out Of The Divine Mercy
I Can Approach The Father
Not Trembling
BUT
Free
Blessed
Beloved
Expectantly Knowing
That In The Great Day
I Shall Rise Glorified
Immortal!
Just As My Savior Is
I Shall Be!

Without The Great Gifts
I Would Be As Those Blind
Choosing Rejection
Preferring Not To Walk The Straight Line
Willfully Ignorant
Without Excuse
Before Him Who Gave Us The Way
To Walk Holy
So That For Own Known Sin
We Will Not By Self
Have To Eternally Pay!

We Need Denial Of Self
AND
Casting Away Of Lusts
AND
Trust To Living To Him
Who Is The Truth
AND
Not Be Existing As Dying Men
Created Of The Dust!

Our Calling Is Real
AND
Our Election Is Sure
IF
We Live Faithful
AND
By God's Grace
To The End
To Endure!

I Desire To Wear The Bright Crown!
I Have No Desire To Tremble In Abject Fear
Before The Eternal Judge's Frown
Whose Will Is
That None Should Die
BUT
That All Should Come To Repentance
AND
Rise To Live With Him
In Eternal Mansions
In His Eternal Home
On High!

The Offer To Us Is Sure!
The Provision For Us Is Secure!
The Way For Us Is Pure
BUT
We Must Ask Him
Who Provides For Us
To Enter In
To Walk Through Our Heart's Door!

His Knock Is Not Scary!
His Voice Is Not Loud!
His Offer Is Fully Disclosed
Free
Simple
Not Like That Which Comes From
The Passionate Fraud
Whose Ways Are Wily
Who Tempts
BUT
Who Cannot You Force
BUT
Who Has Weapons In His Arsenal
That Will
The Willing Willful
Destroy!

The Counterfeit
Is The Thing Amazing
If We Don't Know The True!
We Will Fall
Especially
If We're One With Those Willing
Ever Always To Party
To Caterwaul!

Our Savior Is Constant
Not Offering Quick Tricks!
He Is The Man Of Sorrows
Acquainted With Grief
Who Took To Himself
Our Licks
AND
Provides To Us
His Reliefs!

Jesus' Way Is No Quick Fix!
Jesus Rights!
He Does No Man Wrong!
He Wishes For Us 
To Join The Family
To Be Able To Eternally Praise
AND
Really Celebrate
Starting The Moment
The Trumpet Of God
Sounds
AND
The High Heavens Blaze!

The Options?

Living Circumspectly
Sighing AND Crying Out Over The Abominations
In The World AND In The Church
AND
Finally Dying In Jesus Now
AND
To Heaven Flying With Jesus
AND
The Redeemed Of All Ages Later!

OR

Lustily Lustfully
Unremittingly Unrepentantly Living It Up
In Your Best Life Now
With Satan And Co.
AND
Eternally Dying With Satan
AND
All Unrepentant Sinners Of All Ages Later!


The Big Question ...

When The Judge Of All Flesh
The Prince Of Peace
Shall At The Last Day
Finally Appear
Will You Have Permitted
The Music On The Wings Of The Wind
That The Kings Of The World
Had Ordered
Boisterously Played In Your Ear
To Cause Your Decision Made 
To Be Your Decision Fatal?

Oh, That Men Would Praise The Lord!

HAPPY SABBATH: The Trial For Standing In Jesus Christ's Faith







The Trial For Jesus' Faith


The State Vs. Faithful Christian

The Charge:

1. Faith In The Old God
2. Belief In Old God's Promise Of Eternal Life After Obedient Life In Jesus Christ,  Even Unto Mortal Death

Actionable Event: 

A. Telling The World Of Old God's "Truths" Against State Law And Ordinance.
B. Troubler Of The State

Plea Entered: 

Guilty As Charged.

_____________________________________________________________

JUDGE: Do You Have Anything To Say Before Sentence Is Passed.

DEFENDANT: Yes,  Sir, I Do.

JUDGE: You May Proceed.

DEFENDANT: In Jesus' Name!

Your Honor,
After Having Lived A Debauched Life
Following Satan And His Lying Crew
I Realized At The Sun's Dawning
On A Great And Glorious Day
That A Life Of Sin
Was No Longer The Thing For Me!

I Realized That That Life Had Surely Proven
That Sin Does Not Pay
And After Listening
To That Still Voice Calling Me
I Dug Out My Old Bible
That My Dear Old Granny
Had Lovingly Given Me.

I Turned To The Blessed Book Of Matthew
And Started Reading Until I Found The Lord's Prayer!

I Turned To The Blessed Book Of John
And Read Until I Reached
Chapter 3 Verses 16 And 17
And There I Stopped
Trembling
Then, Hurt
BUT Driven!

I Remembered ... Saintly Old Job
Oh, The Memory Of The Living Faith I Had
Before I Misspent My Youth!

Job 19:25
Brought Tears To My Eyes!

Righteous Job
Tormented By That Fraud Satan
Accused Wrongfully By Friends
And Despised By The Community
Which He Had Fed And Clothed
And Then To Hear The Wife Of His Heart
His Heretofore Trustworthy Help-Meet
Telling Him To Curse The Living God And Die
And To Read Of Old Job
Maintaining His Integrity
Before His Beloved Holy God, Saying
In Truth And Beauty

I Know
That My Redeemer Liveth
And
That He Shall Stand
At
The Latter Day
Upon
The Earth.
What A Blessed Hope.
Job Continued, Saying
And Though Worms
After My Flesh
Destroy
This Body
Yet
In My Flesh
Shall I See God
With My Own Eyes
And Not Those Of Another.

What A Blessing That Was!

The God Of All Creation
Gave Me 
In That Very Day
A New Life
A New Hope
A New Mission
A Promise That He Shall Keep
When He Comes Again
And To Take His Faithful People Home.

In That Beautiful Beginning 
Of The New Day
I Answered The Call
Of The Living God's Holy Spirit
To Walk Faithfully
Truthfully
Honestly
Obediently
Obeying The True Word Of God
Before The Corrupt Word
Of Demon Inspired Men
Who Break God's Settled And Sealed Word!

I Broke No Law That Was In Keeping With The Law Of God!

I Chose The Blessing Of God
Eternal Life In Heaven With Jesus Christ!
No More Pain!
No More Sorrow!
No More Dying Body!

For Having Kept The Faith
Of The Lord Jesus Christ
At The Sound Of The Trumpet Of God
And The Hearing Of The Voice Of The Archangel
At The Breaking Of The Eastern Sky
Whether You Condemn Me To Die Now
Or I Am Alive At The Appearing
I Shall Be Glorified!
I Shall Receive A Forever Young Body!
I Shall Be Immortalized!

I Shall Attain
By My Living Faith
That Unreachable
Unattainable Goal
That Satan Himself
Promised To You All
But Can't Deliver.!

I Shall See
Face To Face
Your Euphemistic
But My Very Real
Holy Living 
All-seeing
All-knowing
Ever-present
Always Available To The Believer God
That Your Dying
Soon To Be Eternally Dead Wannabe God
Could Not Tempt To Sin
Could Not Destroy
Even Though
He Had Him Cruelly Abused
And Ultimately Killed.

You May Kill My Body
But
You Cannot Kill My Body And My Soul
Together
In Hell!

I Stand Before You Here
In This Life
Unclean And Guilty!

I Stand Before Almighty God
The Eternal God
My Lord And My God
My Savior
My Redeemer
My Friend Until My Mortal Life Ends
Clean And Innocent!

I Have Robbed No Man Of His Wages!
I Have Coveted No Man's Property
Nor His Husband Nor His Wife!
I Don't Bow Before Useless Idols!
I Don't Steal!
And I Don't Bear False Witness
Against Anyone
Not Even For Perishable Gold!

Yes! I Used To Be A Sinner
But I Confessed And Repented Of My Sins
And By The Blood Of Jesus Christ
I Was Able To Present Myself
Before The Throne Of Grace
To Receive God's Full And Free Forgiveness!

I Keep All The Commandments Of God!
I Have The Faith Of Jesus
And,  Yes
I Keep The Seventh Day Sabbath Holy Unto God!
Yes, I Keep All 10 Of God's Immutable Commandments
Because If I Break One
I Break Them All!

God Does Not Ask For Much From Me
When I Look At All His Beloved Son Paid
To Redeem Me
From Death And Hell
From The Clutches Of Satan
And His Abominable Crew
Who Did All
To Make Me My Jesus Eschew!

I Openly Willingly Chose
Eternal With My Jesus!
I Give Unto Him
Love Honor
Prayers And Praise
Obedience
Worship
My Will And My Way
And My Self In Every Way!

Heavenly Father,  Into Your Holy Hands
I Commend My Mortal Spirit
For Satan Has No Part In Me!
I Am Your Sheep
And I Am Glad Of It
And I Look To The Glorious Day
And My Eternal Life With You In It!

Father, You Have And I Know You Will
Continue To Supply All Of My Need
According To Your Blessed Eternal Riches In Glory!

I DO NOT Fear Man
For I Can Here Feel Your Hand!
I Know That The Angels Are Here Attending!
Glory Be To The Son
At Your Right Hand!
And Thank You, Father
For The Blessed Comfort Of Your Holy Spirit
And The Inspired Word Provided As You Promised!
Blessed Is The Name Of My God!

Thank You. 

JUDGE: You Are Hereby Sentenced To Death By Guillotine! The Sentence Will Be Executed Immediately!

Remove The Condemned From This Hallowed Place!

*********************

Later That Evening ...

Station LITE
END of Life News:

... The Final Words Heard Coming From The Mouth Of The Condemned Faithful Christian Were: 

"Victory In Jesus! 
And
The Lord Is My Shepherd!" 

BREAKING NEWS!!

This Just In ...

The Seas Are Now As Dead Men's Blood! 
The Stench Is Reportedly Unbelievable 
And The Mighty Ships In The Once Sea Water Are Effectively Dead! 

This Is Surely A Plague Of Truly Epic And Biblical Proportions! 

Do You Think What The Christians Have Been Saying Is Really True!?! <>
