Brethren,

Let's Talk About Joy And Rejoicing

AND

How To Rejoice 
AND
Be Joyful In The Lord Jesus!

First Step:

Be Dissatisfied Living In Sin

AND

Find Contentment In Christ!

Step Two:

Choose Jesus Christ For Joy!

Step Three:

Be Joyful In The Lord!

It Is A Commandment: Obey It!

But How Can I Possibly Rejoice

When I Don't Feel Happy?! 

What Is There To Rejoice Over?! 

Death, Destruction, Carnage 
And Chaos Are Everywhere!

Are You Christians?!

Sure Are, And Glad Of It! 

So What's With The Gloomy Gus Routine?!

How Can We Be Happy

When All The World Is Boldly Wicked Yet ... Sad?!

How Can We Be Joyful

When Satan For Sinners Is Gold

And The Living God Is As A Garment

Useless, Rejected And Old?!

Indulge Me For A Moment

As I Tell You A Truth!

Your "Feelings" About The Situation

Are Not Important!

Is Not Your Faith Anchored In The Holy God?!

We Love The Lord, But ...! 

Let Me Stop You Right There!

"We Love The Lord, But ..."

Is Goat Herd Talk!

How About Saying
With Conviction
"God Loves Us, And ...!?!"

Have You Forgotten:

Rejoice Evermore!

Heaven Is The Storehouse!

Heaven Is Real!

The Lord Will Rejoice Over Us With Singing!

The Lord Has A Thousand Ways To Save ...! 

... I Only Need One!

How Does One Rejoice

When One's Heart Is Breaking?!

How Does One Rejoice

When Peace Of Mind Has The Soul Forsaken?!

Do Christians Live On Fact Or Feeling?!

Is Jesus Christ Real?! 

Shouldn't His Word Supercede What Has You Feeling?!

Do You Trust Truth?!

Are You Living Lie

Or Will You Let The Lord Of Life

Be Your Anchor

AND

In His Eternal Love 
AND
Sure Provision

Be Ever Moored And Satisfied?! 

Let's Get Real Here, Brethren!
The Clock Is Ticking!
Satan Knows It Is Almost Time
For His Final Licking
So He Is Working Overtime
To Turn The Lord's People Into Chickens!

Is He Ever!

Come On, Brethren!
It Is Time To Stiffen Our Spines
In Faith
AND
For Faith 
- Our Living Faith -
In Christ Jesus
Let's Just Set Self Aside
AND

Put The Savior In Front 
Where He Belongs

AND

Look Up

AND

Choose 
- By Working Faith -
To Obey The Written Commands:

• Rejoice Evermore!
• Pray Without Ceasing!
• Bless The Lord! 
• Love One Another! 
• Be Joyful In The Lord!
• Cast Your Cares On The Lord! 
• Lean Not On Your Own Understanding!
• Walk Not In The Counsel Of The Ungodly!
• Deny Self!
• Resist The Devil!
• Trust In The Lord With All Your Strength!
• Wait On The Lord!
• Lean Not To Temptation!
• Rejoice With Those Who Rejoice

AND

While We're At It ...

... Sing A New Song?!

Yes!!
And Remember That
ThatThe Lord Of Creation
Is Our Shepherd
AND
He Saves ... To The Uttermost!

Praise God From Whom all Blessing Flow!

You Know
I Had Gotten Side-Tracked There For A Moment!

Me, Too!

We Must Keep Our Eyes On Our Jesus!

He's Able And Available!

AMEN!!!
