SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT: THE WORD OF GOD - Truth OR Dare?!





What Does A Faithful Christian Do
When
A Beloved Pastor Has Lost His Way
Through Apparent Indifference
To The Truth?
When
Visible Indifference To The Truth
Is Besmirching What Was Once 
A Committed-To-Christ Life?
When
Getting On With The Business Of Life
Is Seemingly Preferable
To Engaging In What Can Only Be Considered
Standing Up For Christ's Life?

Are We As Saints Of The Lord
Permitted To Say Which Part Of Christ's Words
- Christ's Character -
Should
- For Worldlings' Peace -
Be Set Aside?

Are We As Striving Christians
Equipped
To Tell The Living Eternal God
That His Commandments
Statutes
Laws And Covenants
Are To Be Set Aside
IF
In The Present State Of Things
They Will Roil The Prevailing Tide?

Are We Men?
Or
Are We God?
Are We Seeking Favor
Or
Are We The Ones Rewarding The Lord?

Can We Tell God
Where He Hid The Foundations Of The Earth?
Can We Go To God's Storehouses
AND
Send Snow To The Deserts Of The Earth?

Can We Heal Our Own Backslidings?
Can We In Our Own Grace Abide?
Can We Duel With The Devil
AND
Can We Raise Up A Soul Who Has Died?

Are We God?
Are We Men?
Do We Need The Savior?
Do We Need Angels Our Person's To Defend?

Who Are You?

I Am A Mere Mortal!
I Am A Child Of The Great King!
I Know My Need
My Limitations
I Know That I Cannot
As A Known-Natured Sinner
Stop My Self
The Eternal God Not To Offer Offence
BUT
I Have Taken The Lord As My Shepherd
AND
I Have Chosen In The Presence Of God To Abide!
I Have Decided To Follow Christ Jesus
AND
I
From His Face
Have Chosen Not To "Hide!"

I Can Say
That I Cannot Save Myself
AND
I Am Not Going To Try
For I Know That I Need The Redeemer
AND
It Is He Alone
Who To Heaven
Can Get Me Inside!

So ...?

The Bible Says
That In The Last Days
Men Will Not Abide Sound Doctrine
AND
Will
- From The Truth -
Fall Away
So
It Is Imperative
That As True Believers
We Harden Our Resolve
To Stay Upon The Glorious King's
To Eternal Life Highway
If We Desire To Fly Through The Skies!

Let Us Pray For Our Straying Brethren!
Let Us Lift Them Up To The Throne Of Grace!
Let Us Petition For Them To Humble Themselves
Before God Almighty
AND
That They Permit Him To Change Them
To Walk Faithfully
Upon The Straight And Narrow Way
Before They 
- Without Hope -
Die!

As For Ourselves
Let Us Not Get Complacent
Lest We Think We Stand
AND
Instead
We Spectacularly Fall!
Lest We Guide Others Into The Kingdom
AND
We Do Not Make It There At All!

Look To Your Selves, My Brethren!
Let No "Good Man" Be Your Strong Arm!
Let The God Of The New Jerusalem Temple
The God Of The City Of Zion Grand
Be To You
Your All And All!

Men Are Weak!
Men Are Liars!
Men Are Notable For Lighting
Old Satan's Fires!

Do Not Be Deceived!
God Is Not Mocked
AND
If Once Faithful Men
Against God
Commit Iniquity
Their Past Good Works
Won't Get Them Into The Golden City!
They'll Be Outside
With The Whoremongers
The Dogs
Sorcerers
And Those
Who Hate Christ The Lord!

Just Remember
My Brother, My Sister
It Is The Eternal God
Who "Wrote" Down The Words:

"Work Out Your OWN SOUL'S Salvation!"

Fear And Tremble!
That Is God's To You
Emphatic Word!

It Is Time
To Become
Bereans!!!

HAPPY SABBATH + PRAYER: Lord, Let Your Grace Be Ever Sufficient ...!






Heavenly Father,

I Come Before You
As A Child Beloved
Of
The Holy, Gracious And Giving 
Loving And Faithful Father!
Hear My My Prayer, Lord
And
Do For Me
What None But The Holy God Can Do!

Lord,

Please Help Me To Keep An Easy Hold
Upon The Things Of This World
So That I Do Not Make The Great Mistake

And
Give Them What Is More Than Their True Value
And, Thereby

Become Unwilling To Let Them Go!

Lord,
I Beseech You
In Jesus Christ's Name
To Help Me To Place A Death Grip
On All Things Eternal
So That In The Great Day Of Decision
The Only Choice Left To Me
Is


"Father,
I Am Yours!

Keep Your Promise - Save Me!
E'er I Die, Raise Me!"


Father,
In Working Faith
I Willingly Choose
To Live For My Lord!

In Your Proffered Grace
I Look To The Day Of Reward!
In The Mercy Purchased
By Christ's Precious Blood
- Spilt -
To Ransom Me
I Accept The Heavenly Provision
Of
Glory Waiting For Me!


I Cannot Now See My Jesus
Except With The Hope In My Heart

And
I Beseech You, Father
Please Help Me

So That My Hope For Glory
Because Of Circumstance
Does Not Depart!


Help Me Not To Live By Eyesight
Hearing Ear
Nor The Emotions Of Feeling!
Help Me To Trust
The 

"Thus Saith The Lord!"
So That
For Love Of My Lord
In The Great Day
I Shall The Proclamation Of Peace
Be Hearing!


Father,
I Do Not Pray For Me Alone!
I Pray For All The Brethren
Those Near
Those Far
Those Who Soon Will
The Promise Of Eternal Life
- By Your Call -
Will Be Claiming!


I Pray For Those
Who Are Straddling The Fence
Seeking The Sign
Beloved Of The Faithlessness Generation
And 

I Beseech You
Have Mercy, Lord!
Open Their Eyes

And
Let Them See What Will Be Lost
If They Reject The Lord
And 

Their Call To Salvation Refuse!
Pity Them!
We - The Children Of Faith - Plead For Them!

Father,
I Pray From Those
Who Flatly Refuse Your Grace
Who Love
And

Are Beloved By The World
And Who
- Through Their Dread Influence -
Draw Away Souls
Beloved

And
Paid For
By Jesus Christ The Lord
And I Plead
And Beseech You
To Interpose Yourself
To Break The Demonic Connection
And

Bring Living Light
To Remove The Benighting Shadows
Of Satan's Pulsating Dark-Night Light!


Father, 
We Are A Weak
A Dying Race
A Wicked People By Nature
That That Wicked Satan
Desires From Your Sight To Erase!
Help Us!


Father,
I Am
We Are Your Children
And
We Are Asking, Please
Reverse The Curse In Each Willing Heart's Life
And

Place Our Sins On Satan's Deserving Head!
Please Grant Unto Us
The Promised Win
In This Bitter Strife!


Father,
I Choose Christ
And
All The Beloved Likewise
And
As Faith-Carrying Citizens
Of The Kingdom To Come
Please Hedge Us In
Protect Our Faith

And
Keep Us In Your Care
So That We Do Not Shipwreck Our Faith
And Be To The Lord Christ
Cast-Out
By Disgrace!


Oh, Lord
Let The Saving Grace
Of The Eternal God Of All Graces
Be Ever Sufficient For Us
Who Do
And
Who Will Believe
Honor
Trust
Worship
And
Obey The Lord Christ!


Please Pour Out Your Holy Spirit
And Also Bless Us
With The Promised Protection 

And
The Influence For Good
Of The Holy Angels!
This, Father

Is Our Heartfelt Plea
In The Only Name That Matters
Jesus Christ The Lord!
We Love You, Father!
AMEN.

Man Is Made In God's Image! - The P. M. S. Nature

The Eternal Blessing God Made Man
In His Own Image!
Man Was To Walk Alone
All One
(At One)
With His Creator-God
BUT
Sin Intervened
Compliments Of The One Who Hates
AND
Who On Greed
AND
Lust Feeds
AND
That Is Why All Mankind
A Loving, Redeeming, Savior
Desperately Needs!

From The Hand Of The Maker
Man Had The P.M.S. Nature
That Is
The Physical
The Mental
The Spiritual
Nature Of The Maker
Which Would Have Permitted Him
To Continually Grow
AND
To Advance
AND
To Become Like Unto His Maker
The Longer That He Should Live!

Man Was Not Made To Die!

Enter ... THE DRAGON!!

Satan - By Sin -
- With Sin - 
Is Recreating Man
Is His Very Own Image!

God Forbid!

Perish The Thought!

Sadly, Brethren
This Sad Story
Is Tryingly True
AND
It Is To Our Benefit
To 
- In And Of Christ -
Learn The Facts True
Through And Through!

If You Trust Jesus Christ True
You Can Disappoint The Adversary
By Giving Him
The Get-Thee-Behind-Me-Satan
Thus-Saith-The-Lord Shoe!

Think Of The Time
When Peter Confessed Christ's Divinity
AND THEN
In The Next Breath
Wanted To Protect His Lord
From Engaging His Mission's Strife!




Jesus Spoke
Not To Peter
But To The Adversary
In Between Them:

Get Out Of My Way Satan
So That I May Speak To Mine Own
Face To Face
No Blockers In Between
Willing Them To Walk Their Own Way
To Walk Alone!

Almighty God
- In Christ - 
Was Self-Denying!
Satan Is Not - Cannot!
All God's Children
Must
- Like As Did Christ -
Practice
Self-Abnegation
If
From Sin And Satan
They Will
To The Day Of Redemption  
- Saved -
Arrive!
We Must Depend Upon The Lord Jesus Christ!

Lord, Haste The Day!

Christ IS Our Anchor!
If We Lift Our Cross
As He Asks Us
We Will His Crown Of Life Wear!

When We Follow The Master's Living Example
AND
Ever To The Great Father Repair
We Can Rely Upon His Input Of Strength
So That We May Reject The Devil
AND
Avoid His Delicately Placed Snares!

Jesus Christ
Gave Us An Example Of Perfect Obedience
AND
He Gives Unto Us
The Power
That We May
The Holy God Obey!

Friends, Brethren,

There's No Need For Circus Acrobatics
Nor Devilish Contortions
If We Will
- By And In Jesus Christ's Faith -
Just Humbly Say ...


  • Yes, Lord!
  • I Believe!
  • I Will Follow Thee!
  • Lord, Your Blessings I Gladly Receive!
  • Lead Me, Lord - I Will Follow!
  • Teach Me, Lord - I Will Pray!
  • Bless Me, Lord - You Are My Answer!
  • Take Me, Lord - I Am Yours To Command Today!

Preach It, Brother! Preach It!

If You Are A Wanderer
Looking
For A Safe
A Secure Home
Remember
I Beseech You, Remember That
"Jesus Christ Is The Answer!"
He Is The Corner Stone!

Don't Be A Foolish Builder
AND
Reject Jesus The Christ
Because
Without Him
There Is No Foundation Laid
That Is Not Laid Upon Him
That Will
- In The Day Of Discovery -
Survive!

A Man Saves Construction Costs
When He Committedly Builds On The Lord Christ!

A Sure Foundation
Withstands Any And All Upheavals!

Indeed!

Brethren,
I Beseech You
To Trust God For Your Building Construction Materials
AND
I Guarantee You
- On The Strength Of The Eternal Word -
- On The Character Of The Everlasting Father -
- On The Word Of The Living God Which Cannot Lie -
That No Bad Bricks
In Your Life
Can Ever Be Laid!
Only Needful And Necessary Bills Will Be Supplied!

All Things Work For Good ...!

Indeed! Indeed!

Let Us Recite Our Memory Verse:




The Only Man
That Jesus Christ Cannot Save
Is The Man
Who Will Not Believe That
Jesus Christ Saves!

Decisions Must Be Made!




Satan Exerts Influence Over People
He Darkens The Mind
AND
Incites Men Women And Children
To Do Violence
AND
To Commit Base Crimes!

Jesus Christ Exerts Influence Over The People!
He Enlightens

ANDEnlivens
The Mind!
He Impresses All Who Will

To Do Good Works
AND
To Brethren
To Be A Blessing 
AND
To Be Ever Kind!

Here, Brethren
Are Two Princes
First,
The Prince Of Darkness
The Destroyer Of Body And Soul!
Second,
The Prince Of Peace
Who Gives Life
AND
Keeps Mankind Alive
AND
Now
I Sincerely Ask You
Which Prince
Would You
Do You
Should You
Want
Even Need
To Be By Your Side?!

The Prince Of Darkness
Has A Need
To Build An Army Of Opposition
Against The Holy God
AND
His Method Of Recruitment
Is To Offer Paid Access To

Excitment
Influence
Finance

Recognition
Associative
Emotional 

Dangerous
Destructive
Selfish
Self-Satisfying
Mind-Bending
Cross-Contaminating
Infectious
AND
Ever Only Temporal

So-Called Enormous Yet Trifling
Pretty And False Shining

AND
Dying - Like Himself -
Awards And Rewards!

The Prince Of Peace
- By Great Contrast -
Offers Unto Mankind
Life In Christ Now
AND
Eternal Life With Christ Later
For Being Of Service To Humanity
In The Service Of The Living Holy Ever-Present
He Knows It All 

Can Do It All
Provides It All
God!

In Their Service To Their King
AND
Master
Self-Denial
Is In Part How They Live
AND
Look
Not Given To Displays
Of Gratuitous Acquisition
AND
For Them
Denying Self Is In Answer
To The Lusts Of Manly Living -
They Don't Live In The Land Of

I Want What My Eyes Continually See!

Kindness
Helpfulness
Caring
Sharing
Are Motivations For Each And Every Day
AND
Lest We Forget
That Darkness Hates Peace
They Engender The Acrimony
Of Darkman's Soldiers Elite
Who
Of The Living God
Apparently ... Have No Fear!!

Hatred From The World!
Peace In The Lord!
Comfort Of The Holy Spirit!
Protection From The Fraud!
Mercy! Salvation!
Forgiveness Of Sin!
Hope For Surpassing Glory!
Redemption At The Prince Of Peace's Earthly Returning!
Are Gifts To The Saints Of The Holy God!
Gifts From The Prince Of Peace!

So, What ...!?

The Service
For The Prince Of Peace
Requires Personal Sacrifice
A Thing Foreign To The Prince Of Darkness
Who Demands Sacrifice From Others
Often Even Sacrifice Of Life!

Those In The Service
Of The Prince Of Peace Know
That He Is The Great Exemplar
For
He Gave His Own Life
For All Mankind On The Cross
After
Suffering The Prince Of Darkness'
Most Dreadful Temptations!

I Can Almost Hear The Wicker One's Laughter!

Between Temptation
AND
Crucifixion
Was Where The Prince Of Peace
Healed
Taught
AND
Fed
The Multitudes
Oppressed
Tormented
Possessed
Oppressed
By The Miasma Of The Prince Of Darkness!

He Raised The Dead!
He Restored Sight To The Blind!
He Took The People Out Of The Darkness
AND
Stood Them Up
In The Light Of Life
AND
For Good Measure
Gave Them Of Eternity
A Real View
AND
Encouraged Them
To Reach For The Extended Sheltering

Comforting Healing Hand
To Hold It

To Hold On To It -
That Offer Is Extended
To Me And To You!

But ... 

There Is A Small Price
To Be Paid
By One
By All

Who Will To The Prince Of Peace Cling:

Forsake Sin!
Forsake The Devil!
Forsake The World!
Confess Sin!
Repent Of The Past
AND
Reach Out To Jesus
AND

For Dear Life 
To His Outstretched Hand
Unabashedly Cling!
By His Great Grace ... You Can!

One Cannot Be Double-Minded
Holding Darkness And Light
For
Therein Is Confusion
AND
Assuredly
Soul Blight!

So ...

It Comes Down To The Decision!
Upon Which Side Will You Call
Fall?
  • Truth 
  • Error
  • Darkness 
  • Light
  • Temporal Prosperity
  • Eternal Prosperity
  • Goodness With Denial
  • Fleeting Things And A Damnation Trial
  • Everlasting Life
  • Eternal Separation From God
  • Feelings Over Facts 
  • Destructible Things Now 
  • Indestructible Things Later?
You Make The Order!
Sacrifice Now?

Or
Sacrifice Later?


Decisions Must Be Made!
No Dice Rolling!
No Heads!

No Tails!
Conscious Decision-Making
Makes Really High The Stakes!

I Chose!
I Choose ...

Jesus For Joy - The Prince Who Is Peace!
I Emphatically Deny The Liar
The Prince Of Darkness
The Salvation Thief!

In Jesus Christ
I Have Found
My Soul's Chief
My Heart's Peace
My Body's Relief!

UNMASKED: The Everlasting Word Of The Eternal God Stands!





Pick N. Choose
Was A Seeing Blind Man
Who Published Abroad
That He Knew The Oracles Of God -
Back To Front!
He Knew How The Scriptures Were Tied!

His Adversary
- For Obvious Reasons
AND
Considered By Him To Be Treasonous -
Was
Is
Accept D. Word
Who Trusts In The Holy Spirit
To Teach Him
When He
In His Finite Understanding
Shows Lack!

Their Relationship Is Not Acrimonious!
They Just See Truth
In Mightily Different Ways
AND
Those Ways Are The Bone Of Contention
Throughout The Passage Of Their Interactive Days!

Pick N. Choose Is A Man Of The Cloth
Educated And Lettered
Who Was Trained
To Read Between Lines
AND
To Pick
AND
To Choose
Which Words Of God
Are To Be Considered
True
Relevant
Timely
Factual
Impossible To Believe
Anecdotal
Fairy Tales
And On, And On!

He Is Flamboyantly Very Passionate
About The Work That He Does
Even Though His Conscience
Mightily Pricks Him!
He Ignores The Pricks Of Good Conscience
Because He Wants To Be The Head
Of The Critiquing God Club!

There's Money To Be Made In Them Thar Hills!
ANDAt This 
His Fat Heart Thrills!

Isn't Fat A Bible Metaphor For Sin?!

It Is Indeed!

Aren't We Called To Give The Fat
The Sin
Unto God
On The Altar Of Sacrifice?!

Indeed, We Are!

There's Trouble Up Ahead ...

Things Were Going Well
Very Well
For Pastor Pick
Until 
THAT DAY 
When He 
- Waxing Bold -
Accidentally On Purpose
Called Jesus Christ Unnecessary
Irrelevant
A Failure
Dangerous!

There Was A Gasp! 
Then ...
A Very Loud Silence!
Then ...
There Was An Uproar!!
Then ...
One Man Valiantly Stood Up
Stood Out
AND
In A Firm And Steady Thread
Walked To The Altar
AND
In A Firm Tone
- Causing Dread -
Said:

It Is Considered
Treason Against The Living God
When In A Time Of Spiritual Crisis
Believing Men Hold Their Peace
Whilst A World Dying
Amidst Abundant Good Food
Is Left Starved

Unsuccored
Unfed!


He Continued ...

I Will Not Bring A Railing Accusation Against You
Pastor Pick N. Choose
BUT
The Lord Rebuke You!
I Speak The Truth Out Of Love
AND
I Sincerely Pray For You 
As This I Say:

You Speak Evil Of The Dignified God
And Thereby
You Foam Out Your Own Shame!
You Work Is Not A Blessing!
Your Tree Has Root Rot
And Your Fruit Is Both Wind Blown
And Rotten
And Truth To You Seems To Be Forgotten!

You Despise 
The Dominion Of The Glorious God Over You
AND
Withhold That Blessed Knowledge
From The Beloved
AND
In So Doing
You Encourage Others
To Live Lives Ungodly
ANDIn Essence
Subscribe Their Names To Unquenchable Flames!
You Will For Lost Souls
Hold Much Blame!

You Act
Unafraid
AND
Unashamed
In The Blighted Way Of The Accuser Of The Brethren
AND
You Do Unto The Kingdom Of God
A Terrible Despite!
Why Did You Give Up God's Fight!

You Apparently Care Not For Your Own Soul
AND
You Wilfully Deny Others
Their Own Opportunity
For Their Own Soul's Salvation To Fight!

I Pray The Lord God
For The Salvation Of Your Soul
That You Will Come To Know The Almighty God
AND
The Lord Jesus Christ
Whom He
To Us Sent
So That You Will Turn
From Gross Darkness
Unto The True Light
That The Lord, Then
By Your Renewed Life's Living
May Find Someone
In Whom To Delight!

Brothers And Sisters,
I Appeal You Today
As A Sinner Saved
As One In Christ
No Longer Living As A Sin-Slave
Please
For The Love Of God
Count The Cost!
Count The Cost
And, Then
If Jesus Christ Paid - In Full - Your Bill
Accept His Word
His Character
His Provision
Right Here
Right Now
So That You Won't
For Your Own Sin
Have To Eternally Pay!

God Is The Lord!!

'Tis A Shame When Men
Who Can't
Won't Eat
Withhold God's Good Grass 
From Hungering Sheep!

It Is A Terrible Crime
Against God's Glorious Kingdom
When Men 
Spiritually Dried Out
Block Abundantly Available
Living Water
From The Lord's Thirsty, Thirsty, Sheep!

It Is A Bitter Shame
When The Ungodly Man
- Afraid To Sleep -
Stops Weary Men
From Resting In The Lord
In Peace
And So
- With Trembling Heart Sad -
I Say Unto One
AND
Unto All
Look To Your Own Soul's Salvation!
Follow Not Wicked Men
And More Particularly
This Bold Man And His Type
Who Work For The Fraud With Delight
Having Left Off
Of Faith
The Good Fight!

The Living Word Of The Glorious Lord
Is A Strong Tower -
The Righteous Man
- Obviously Living Right -
Runneth Into It
AND
Is Safe!

The Word Of God Is A Sword
AND
A Shield
A Path
A Blanket
A Ground Upon Which To Kneel!

The Word Of God Is A Cup
A Plate
A Map
But Never A Slate
For The Word
Is Sealed
AND
In Heaven Settled
So That Man
By His Own Actions
For Or Against It
Will
His Own Fate
Settle!

Do Not Watch Man!
Do Not Follow This Wicked Man!
The Way Of Man
Is Ever A Lie!
Do Not Live To Man
For In That Way
You Will Surely Die!

Do Not Trust Your Way
To Your Eyes!
You Should Know By Now
That Man's Eyes Tell
The Comfortable Lie!

Do Not Listen To Truth
With Carnal Ears!
Carnal Ear Are Receptacles
That Hear What The Carnal Ear Wants To Hear!
They Itch And They Tickle
To Enjoy What The Carnal Heart Wants To Swear
AND
Ungodly Men
Unrepentant
Unregenerate
Unashamed
Unafraid
Take Pride In Performance
The Name
The Word Of The Holy God
To Defame
Enjoying Remaking God
In The Image Of Their Own Desperate
Dying Selves
Proffering That They Can
The Seeking Sinner Save!

Brethren, 
Put That Book
On The Condemned Things Shelf!

Brethren,
Beloved Of The Eternal God
I Beseech You
Look Not To Man For Help!
Go To Your Creator
And There
Your Heart Vent!

The Living Word Cannot Change
For The Living God
Of And In The Word
Cannot Change
So
Stop!
Think! 
AND
Look To Yourselves
AND
From This Gross Folly
Turn About!

Do Not Elevate A Creature
Above The Height Of
The Creator God
For The Creature Can Never Be His Own Creator -
He Is Working For His Paymaster Satan
- That Wily Fraud -
Who Has Given Him A Brief
To Cause Men To Sell Their Unbuyable Souls
Throwing Away Their Confidence
To Receive A Few Wood Coals
Masquerading As Diamonds
Purchased
With Fool's Gold!

In The Beginning Was The Word!
The Word Is God!
The Word Dwells Among Us -
It Is Time To Really Know Him!

Pastor Pick N. Choose
You Were Warned
About The Wrong Path You Trod!
You Ignored Those Warnings
And Today
Refusal To Reform Your Ways
 Will Cost You
For Your Gainsaying God Ways!

Deacons!
Remove From God's Altar
This Shameless
Unrepentant Man
Who Works For The Devil
ANDWho Chooses Not To Be Moved By
Christ The Lord
Through The Working Of The Holy Spirit
AND
Who Prospers
By Doing Evil
Against The Called
The Chosen
The Willing-To-Be-Saved
Of The Eternal God!

Lord Help Us!

And ...

The Church
- Militant -
With One Voice
Said:

Pastor Pick, You're Fired!!
In The Name Of The Lord Christ
Please Turn Away
From The Evil
And Do The Good!
We CHOOSE To Follow
The Word Of The Lord
And
We Will Be Praying For You!!

AND
Accept D. Word Said
For The Witness:

Amen! And Amen!
