ILLUSTRATOR FOR THE WORLD: The Christian's Personal Situation

I Believe The Word Of God
But ...!

... But, But, But What!?!


Little Yu, You Can't Say You Believe God

And Use A But!

But, My Situation Is Precarious!


And You Still Believe God, Right!?!


Yes, I Surely Do!

I'm Living For Jesus, But  ...!

... But Whaaat!?!


People Are Watching My Response!


And ...!?!


My Life Is Becoming A Spectacle!

People Are Starting To Talk!

So ...!?!


Wait, Stop!

I Think He's On To Something!

What Do You Mean!?!


His Life "Appears" To The World

To Be All Going To Hell In A Handbasket
And 
The Watching World Is Talking About It!

And ...!?!


Think, Brethren, Think!


He's Known To Be A Christian!

He Models His Life In Christ To The World!
He Talks About All The Good That Comes
From The Life Lived For The Lord Christ
And, Suddenly
Out Of Left Field
It Looks Like Satan And His Minions
Have Set Up Shop Doing Good Business
In His Drawing Room Aka Front House!

I Still Don't Get It!


Look At It This Way ...


His Christian Life ... His Situation

Presently Lived In Sorrow
Is 
On Full Display For The Unbelieving World
And 
Is In Full Effect As An Illustration Of
How An Enduring Faith In The Believing Christian
- In The Watching, Doubting, Presence Of 
The Unbelieving World -
Displays To All
How The Lord Christ Works 
In Behalf Of His Faithful Children!

Oh, Wow, And How!


I Get You ... Finally!

Our Situation
Our Reaction To Our Lived Experience
Is A Real-Time Illustration For World!

Indeed!
How The Christian Responds
To The Then Present Situation
Really Reveals To The World
If 
The Lord Christ 
Is 
Truly His Chosen Life
Or It Makes A Pronounced Lie Of All His Protestations!

Aka Is His Christianity Real Or Feigned!?!


I Agree!


Brother, 
No Matter What Happens
Trust The Living Word
And
Not Your Eyes
Not Your Feelings
Not What Your Friends And Family Say
Nor What The World Feels And Presses Upon You!
Trust The Lord!
Trust The Word!
Believe The Master's Promises!

The Words Are Life And Light! 
The Words Are Love! 
The Words Are Truth For The Age! 
The Word Will Withstand The Lies Of Satan
And
His Misguided Minions' Entreaties
- Promulgated From The Dying World's Lying Stage -
No Matter How Much Against You
Time And Circumstances Rage!

No Matter What Happens
I Repeat, Pete
I Caution You, Yu
Do Not To Your Emotions, Cave! 
Do Not Let The Call Of Easy Sin Make You A Hardened Slave!

Remember,
The Lord Of Our Life
The Prince Of Peace
The Good Shepherd
The King Of Glory
Our Creator, Redeemer And Friend
Cannot Be Found In Any Cold Grave
So Trust, Obey, Believe Always
And
Be Eternally Blessed!

Thank You!
I Needed To Hear That
Even Though I Know Of A Surety That
Jesus Christ, Alone, Saves!

AMEN!!!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: The Best Things In Life Are Free From Jesus Christ






... The Kingdom Of God Is At Hand!
This Is Not The Time To Be Weak! 
Look At The Salacious Events In The Media
And
Recognize The Truth In The Word That Says That 
Now Is The Only Time Given Unto Us
Our Own Soul's Salvation Diligently To Seek!

Look Around And About You
And
Smell The Cheap Perfume, Cologne, Deodorant Of 
Soft-Serve Salvation That Of Apostasy Does Reek
And Understand 

That When The Self-Styled "Man Of God" Acquires
Movie Star, Rock Star, Status
Because
He Is The One For Whom The Preserved Word
- Known To Contain The Key To Eternal Life -
Is Not Sufficient
Is Deficient
And 
Isn't Totally Satisfying  
And
Having Rejected Christ's Modeled Life Of Sacrifice
Has
  • Private Jets Because To Travel With The Rabble Is Beneath His Lofty Status
  • A Stable Of Status Vehicles Because Money Is Free
  • Armed Body-Guards Because It Is For His Dignity
  • Hangers-On And Groupies Because Popularity Brings Privilege
  • Pimps And Prostitutes On Call Because Carnal Man Has Needs
And

  • Lives The Gloriously Bold Lie That He's The Lord's Inside Man
  • Proclaims Another Jesus
  • Preaches Another Gospel
  • Teaches That There Is No Victory Over Sin
  • Teaches That Christians Will Sin Until Christ Comes
  • Encourages The Seeker After Christ's Righteousness To Live "Authentically" Aka Live Your Own Truth Despite Truth Being The Sole Domain Of The Eternal God
  • "Blesses" The Sinner Seeking Salvation To Do Whatever Self Aka Lust Wants As Long As No One Gets Hurt 
Because 
The Lord Jesus Christ Must Save Us
- Is Going To Save Us All -
Be Ye Christian, Atheist, Agnostic, Idolater, Satanist
It Is Time ... Way Past Time
To Cut Ties ... Cut Losses
And
Being Suitably Chastised, Chastened
Return To Primitive Christianity
Primitive Godliness:

Christ, Alone

Scripture, Alone
Grace, Alone
Faith, Alone


Light And Darkness Cannot Share Space!
Christ And Satan Cannot Cooperate!
Sin And Salvation Cannot Cohabitate!
Grace And Presumption Do Not Live On The Same Estate
And
Unrepentant Sinners 
And 
Forgiven, Reformed, Regenerated, Saints 
Do Not Share The Same Fate!

Here's A Thought: I Like Nice Things! Do You!?!

Of Course, We Do!

Everybody In Their Right Mind
Likes Nice Things, The Good Things ...!

... The Best Things In Life!

Well, Since It Is The Best That You Desire Of
What Life Has To Offer
I Point You To The Real Jesus
Who Gives Us His Peace
And
Leads Us Into All Truth By His Gift Of His Holy Spirit

And
Who Protects Us By His Holy Angels!

He Extends To Us, Everyone, The Great Invitation
To Deny Ourselves
To Take Up Our Own Cross ... Daily
And
Cast Our Every Care Upon Him
Because
He Sacrificially Cares For Us
And
He Pleads With Us To Deny Self, Sin And Satan
Even Though We Know In Advance That
We'll Be Despised And Rejected Of Men
Know Sorrows And Become Well-Acquainted With Grief
Because
We Choose To Walk In His Light
To Achieve His Perfection
To Receive His Immortality
His Robe Of Righteousness
A Place In His Father's House
And
The Right To Enter Through The Gates
Into His Everlasting Kingdom
Where There Is Eternal Peace
And
No One Ever Grows Old!

It's Not An Easy Life To Live
But It Is The Only Life That Leads To Glory!

Do You Want The Best, That Is
The Perfect Food
The Perfect Drink!?!

Of Course! Who Doesn't!?!

Well, Permit Me Introduce You To The Tree Of Life
Which Bears Twelve Different Fruits
And
The River Of The Water Of Life:
Immortality Is In Them!

Do You Desire Perfect Peace And Rest!?!

I Sure Do!
This World Is Starting To Boil
And My Spirit From It Does Recoil!
Satan Caused Its Beauty To Be Marred
To Be Soiled
And Since Then Our Lives Have Been
And Are Burdensome Toil!

Our Saving Grace Is That Jesus Christ Did
Wicked Satan's Plans Foil
And
Glory Be To The Father
The Son
And
The Holy Spirit
We Are Coming To The End Of The  Turmoil
And
Satan Is Going To, Excuse The Graphic
Be Charbroiled To Extinction
Never Ever Ever Ever To Be Seen Or Heard From Again!

Hallelujah, Jesus!

Brethren,

Feel Good Theology
Prosperity Gospel
And
Broad Way-Salvation Living
Are Not Biblical
Truthful
Sustainable
Nor Soul-Satisfying
And
All Who Are Purveyors Of Such
Are Card-Carrying Workers For Satan
And
Unless They Come To Repentance
They Shall Be Condemned
And
Damned, Eternally, As Such!

Brethren, Beloved

I Beseech You 
To Take Your Humps And Grumps Now
For Our Jesus! 

The Day Of Our Deliverance Is Coming
And
Is Even Now On The Wing!

AMEN!!!

What Shall We Sing!?!

Jesus Is Coming Soon
Be It Morning, Evening, Night Or Noon!
He Shall Destroy The Pall Of Sin's Gloom
And We Shall By Right
Enjoy Eternal Life's Bloom!

Crying Lasts For The Night
But Our Joy Is Coming ... Real Soon!

In The Morning 
When, By The Grace Of Almighty God, I Rise
Give Me Only King Jesus!

HAPPY SABBATH + Christian Weather Forecast !?!







This Is Not The Time For Cute And Comfy
So, I Shall Be Blunt!
If You Are Going To Walk With Our Jesus
You Should Know To Expect A Storm Or Three!
You Should Brush Off Your Praying Voice
And
Let The Prayer For Assistance Be Rehearsed!

You Must Learn To Accept Your Personal Limitations
When You Seek To Be A Christian Called
Because
The Lord Of Life
The King Of Glory
Is 
Your Leader:
You, For Him, Made The Glorious Choice!

Tell Him Your Need
And
On His Grace
Hungrily Feed!

Know Your Adversary ...

Your Constant, Unwearied, Accuser
- The Devil -
Is 
The Liar
The Serpent That Speaks Sweet Words
The Lord Of The Dung Flies
Who Spreads Death
Like A Vile, Wicked  Rancher Moving 
A Sold, Diseased, Contagious, Herd!

Know Your Hope, Your Helper ...

Jesus Christ Is Your Captain
With Him In Control
The Wind Will Be Rebuked
The Water Will Be Told To Shut Up
The Devil Will Be Turned Away Empty
And
You, Blessed Of Heaven
Will Hold In Your Hand
The Beautiful Horn Of Good Things Plenty!

If Jesus Christ Is Your Master
And
You Are Following Him
Holding His Hand
Going Where He Leads
And
Not Making Your Own Plans
Please Rest Assured, I Beseech You
That Satan Cannot The Battle Against You Win
For
He Who Holds Your Hand
Is 
The Son Of God Almighty
The Beloved And Blessed Forever Son Of Man
And
He Has Never And Will Never Lose
Anyone Who Chooses Faithfully
To Follow His Assuredly Blessed Forever
Never-Fail Plan!

Brethren, Beloved

On The Living Word
Great, Gracious, Glorious
In Wisdom
Confidently Stand!

BASE ATTACK: Truth - The Living Word - Counts!


Here's An Obvious For You:

Satan Will Always Approach You With An "If?"
Wanting To Check Your Navel String
AKA
Questioning Your Antecedents!
He Did It To Our Jesus

But ...

If You're Wise
Being A Blessed Child Of 
The One Who Cannot Tell Lies
Your ONE AND ONLY Response To Him Shall Be:

"It Is Written!"

I Hear That And I Agree! 

Send The Traitor To Perspiration Station!!

Yeahhhh ... Huh!?!
What's Perspiration Station!?!

Whatever It Is
I Like How It Sounds! 

Satan Is A Traitor
And On His Own Head
His Treachery Redounds!
The Word Will Have Him Sweating
If That Is Possible! 
He Knows That His End Is Near!

The Word Shall Crush His Head! 
Burn His Expectations
And Best Of All
Erase His Future!

Plainly Put, Brethren,

He Shall Know The Truth That Cannot Fail!
The Word Lives
And
Each One Of Us Has To Face Him!
Here's The Truth For Satan For The Day:

Satan, You're Not Almighty God!
You're Nothing Else But A Damned
Soon To Be Destroyed, Arrogant
Destructive For A Short Season
Creature!

You Can't Create Anything!
You Destroy! 

You Can't Bless Anything!
You Blight And Destroy! 

You Can't Love Anyone!
You Hate And Destroy!

You Can't Be Trusted!
You're Deceitful!

You're The Liar
The Murderer
And
You Taint Everybody And Everything You Touch
And
You, Destroyer, Shall
At The Time Appointed By My Jesus
My Savior
My Lord, My God
My Hope, My Help
My Salvation
Be Terminated
With Prejudice ... Destroyed! 

Forever! Forever!
The Destroyer Is Destroyed! 

AMEN!!!

You, Satan, Are The God-Fraud!
I Worship, Praise
Magnify, Glorify
Bless And Willingly Obey
Jesus Christ The Conqueror
My King
The Almighty God
Who From Everlasting To Everlasting
Is 
God Glorious
And
The Lord Of Everything!

You Can Never Go Back Home!
I'm Going Home To Glory!
In The Choir, I Shall Sing
And
I Shall Bless The Glorious God
For Saving Me From You, Satan
Self And Sin!

Thank You, Jesus
For Present Grace And Coming Glory! 

Thank You, Lord
For The Words Of Truth Contained
In The Good News Gospel Story!

Brethren,

Believing And Trusting And Obeying
The Living Word Of Truth Sets Us All Free!

Satan Enslaves
But
Thank God Almighty
Jesus Christ
- The Only One Righteous -
Saves!
Utterly Saves!

We Have This Hope ...

Our Purchased Redemption Is Drawing Nigh!

If We Die, We're Gonna Get Up And Rise Up
And
If We Live, We Going To Rise Up
And
Join The Formerly Dead In Christ Who Rise First
All Of Us To Meet The Lord Christ In The Air
And 
Share His Glory
After Our Short Sojourn In The Vale Of Tears
The Realm Of Death
And
The Cold Dark Grave!

By Living Faith
By Holy Sight
- The Gifts Of The Holy Jesus -
We Shall See Him As He Is
And
We Shall Be Like Him!
We Shall Be Forever Changed!

Let's Live Like Overcomers!

AMEN!!!

And Outright Treachery -
Will Condemn Us And Damn Us
For All Eternity!

Have Mercy, Father
And Help Us So That By The Raging Enemy
We Are Not Deceived!
Let Truth In Us Abide!

Father Of The Faithful,
We Desire To Be Amongst The Virgins Wise
With Our Lamps Of Truth At The Ready
Our Wicks For Truth's Transport Trimmed

Shedding Pure Light
For The Bridegroom
- The Prince Of Peace Who Gives Us Of His Peace -
When The Shout Goes Up:
"The Bridegroom Cometh!
Go Ye Out To Meet Him!"
Our Heartfelt Desire Is To Meet Him In Perfect Peace!

Father,
We Have Washed Our Personal Garments
In The Blood Of The Lamb
We Confess And Repent Of Known Sin
And We Gladly Accept The Wedding Garment
Provided Free To Us
By Your High And Holy Hand! 
With Humility, We Say "Thank You, Lord!"

Father,
Please Help Us To Awaken From Sleep
And To Do All That You Desire Of Us
To Bless The Living Holy God
To Bless Our Own Lives
And To Bless The Lives Of Others
So That We Shall Hear The
"Welcome, Good And Faithful Servant

CONVENIENCE vs NEED: Oh, To Be Rid Of Self!

Righteous Self-Denying Works 
Is 
Married To Christian Experience!
Their Marriage Is Not One Of Convenience!
It Is A Marriage Born Of Faith, Love 
Mercy, Grace 
And 
Heart-Felt Need!

Their Hearts' Desire 
Is 
To Enduringly Walk To
And
Rightfully Enter Bliss Through The Open Door!

They Are Promised A Home
- A Forever Home -
In The Eternal City
To Live Forever In The Presence Of Shiloh
The Prince Of Peace
The Son Of God
The King Of Glory
The Hope Of Every Man!

You Should Be Made Aware ...

The Way To Their Wedding 
Had Not Been An Easy One!
Self Kept Interposing
Interrupting
Issuing Bilge Water And Bile
And
Attempting To Inspire Doubt
Regarding Deliverance From Sin, Self Himself
Satan, Sorrow
Death, Hell 
And 
The Never-Satisfied, Cold, Lonely, Grave!

Be Ye Warned ...

Self
The Bold, Base, Broad-Mouth, Rabid Sinner
Looks Like A Saint
Speaks As A Saint
But
Lives Undercover ... 
In The Shadows
And I
To All Intents And Purposes
A Leafy Green Fig Tree
No Good Fruit Expected!

If You Don't Understand
I'll Tell You Plainly:

Self Is A Barren Fig Tree!
He Is All Fronts And No Backs!
He Has Loads Of Foliage But No Fruit!
He Serves No Purpose To The Kingdom Of Light
And
He Is Cursed
Because
He Will Not ... Cannot
The Good King
- By His Shiftless Service -
Delight!

He Is Useless
Dried Up
And
He Will Burn Up
- Be Thoroughly Consumed -
To Become Ashes Under The Feet Of
Redeemed, Incorruptible
Immortalized
Glorified
Saints Of God And Christ

And

Believe It Or Not
Self Does Not Care!

Self Cares For Numero Uno
Selfish Selfie Self
And
He Loves It Like That!
He Has Placed The Lord Christ On The What-Not
You Are Useless But Look Good On Display
For All The World To Oooh And Ahhh Over Shelf!

Self's Prideful Position ...

He Professes Righteousness:
He Does Not Practice Or Possess It!

To Him And His Kind
The Will Of God Is What Self Wants:
The Lord Must Yield Sovereignty!

Feeding The Lord's Sheep Is Of No Concern To Him:
Sheep Are Foolish, Smelly
And
Need Too Much Shepherding!
He Has A Picture Mirror To View!

Self Knows Not The Saving Power Of Saving Grace:
His Remarks On This Are Unprintable!

As Regards Thorough Conversion Aka Changing
Self Is Very Clear That He Changed His Clothing
That. Day.
He's A Real Lost Cause!

The Facts Remain ...
  • Self Is Not Earnest!
  • Self Sees No Profit In Emulating Jesus Christ's Life!
  • To Self, Prayers Speak Of Praise Of Himself!
  • To Self, Surrendered-Will Is A Curse Word!
  • To Self, Faith Is A Fraud Perpetrated Against The Gullible!
  • Self Works For The Doubt-Meister - Satan - The Wannabe God Who Engineered The Murder Of Jesus Christ The Lord!
  • Self Will Never Enjoy The Glory Of Almighty God!
Brethren,

Only Jesus Christ Saves!
Only Jesus Christ Heals!
Only Jesus Christ Seals!
Only Jesus Christ Reveals
The Way Of Hope
The Road To Surpassing Glory
And
All Who Hold Self Aloft
Will Pay The Ultimate, Unremittingly Harsh Cost!
Please Do Not Be Amongst The Unrepentant
Selfish Lost!


Jesus Christ Already Paid Our Price!
Only Fools Choose To Pay
Unnecessary Costs!

Those In Service Of The King
Must Sacrifice Self
To Rid Their Beings Of Love For Sin!
Only Then
Will The Race For Eternal Life
Be Considered
One That They're Winning!!!!

THE SHIP: We Are Not Alone!





Look Up And Lift Up Have A Hope:
Their Redemption Is Drawing Nigh!

Look Up And Lift Up Have A Future
And
An Expected End
Because
Jesus Christ The Righteous
The Lord Of Life
Is 
Their Shepherd
And
The Rock Of Their Salvation
Their Sure And Only Defence!

They Are Not Doubters!
They Do Not Ride The Fence!
They Are Renewed, Reformed
Converted Believers
Living Their Lives For Their Jesus
And
They Are Expecting 
A Placid-Sea Unexpected But Certain Storm!

Brainerd!?!

Yes, Bawsee!

You Know That I Went To School Long
But Not Too Regular
And That What I Learnt I Learnt Real Good!

Indeed!

You Also Know That I Ain't Born After My Mother Dead
So Please Explain To Me
In Little Words If You Please
How Can One Expect The Unexpected!?!
How Can One Experience A Storm On A Calm Sea!?!

Bawsee, Are You A Christian!?!

Yes, Indeed, I Am!

Would You Consider Your Life A Ship!?!

Definitely ... I'm A Traveller! 
Yes!

Are You Living For Jesus Christ!?!

Boldly! Like A Boss, See!

Yes, Bawsee! We've All Heard It Before!

Is Your Life All Smooth Sailing!?!

Absolutely Not!
One Minute I'm Enjoying The Peaceful Trade Winds
And The Next Minute
 I'm In The Midst Of The Atlantic Storm Season ...!

You've Stopped Talking!?!

Is Something Wrong!?!

Don't Play Smart With Me!
You Know Very Well That There's Something Wrong!

And, Pray Tell Us, What Would That Something Be!?!

That Something, Brethren
Is The Ship Called Reality!

Hot Diggedy Dog!

Is Jesus Christ Your Pilot
The Captain Of Your Ship
The Lord That Leads Your Life
The One Who Will See You Through The Mortal Strife
Then ...!

... Expect The Unexpected Storm In The Calm, Placid, Sea!

I Just Thought Of Something:
Jesus, Resting Peacefully, On The Pilot's Pillow
On A Calmly Rocking Boat
On The Glassy Sea That Is Galilee! 

Suddenly ... Unexpectedly
A Storm Of Wind
Turns The Placid To Raging
Filling The Boat With Water
Threatening To Sink It
And Kill All On Board!

How Comes Everybody Is Afraid
And One Person In Particular
Sleeps Through A Killer Hurricane At Sea!?!

It Happens When That One Person
Rests ... Peacefully
On The Word Of Their Father
And
Trusts In The Mighty, Loving, Hand Of 
Their Heavenly Father
- The Eternal God -
For Their Provision
For Their Peace
For Their Power
For Their Protection!

You Do Realize, Don't You
That Jesus, Unafraid
Stood Up ... Straight
On A Tossed Ship
In The Midst Of The Raging Storm
And
Rebuked ... Told Off ... The Wind
And 
It Immediately Stopped Howling Like A Banshee
And
Not Finished
He Told The Sea:

Here Is Peace! 
Be Still!


And 
The Sea Took A Nap
Or Better Yet
Went Back To Being Nice!?!

The Sea Recognized That Voice
The Voice Of His Creator
Who Told Him At His Genesis

So Far And No Farther!


Blessed Be The Ties That Bind ...

With Jesus In The Family
We Have A Happy Home!
With Jesus As Captain Of The Ship
We Shall Reach The Bound For And Safe Shore!
When You Hear The Holy Spirit Calling
Know That Jesus Is Knocking At Your Door
And
Make The Blessed Decision
- The Decision For Eternal Life -
And
Fling Open Your Heart's Door
And
Invite Jesus Christ To Enter In
To Take Total Control
And
To Pilot You Safely, Gently
To The Everlasting Shore!

Truth Frees The Soul ...

For Ever Raging Storm
Every Insurmountable Mountain
Every Deep, Dank, Dark, Valley
Every Tempestuous, Debilitating, Thought
Every Binding, Besetting, Sin
All Sickness And Wrenching Sorrow
Through Unmitigated Suffering ...!

... It Is Jesus! 
It Is And Has Always Been Jesus!

Only Jesus Christ Saves! 

Only Jesus Christ Satisfies!

Only Jesus Blesses
Comforts, Heals, Seals
Reveals
And
Leads Us Into Perpetual Rest!

Jesus Christ Is Peace!

Look Up And Lift Up
Know And Have The Right:

Redemption Is Drawing Nigh!


Soon Jesus Shall Breach The Eastern Sky
And 
To The Glorious Rest Home
- With The Saints Of All The Ages -
We Shall, Rejoicing, Fly!

What An Amazing Grace!

We Must Remember To Remember That
Jesus Christ Stands Up ... Straight
- Weight Of Problems Do Not Impact His Posture -
Controls Events
Speaks With Creative Power
And
Always, Always, In All Ways
Protects Those Who, By Sacrifice
And
In Covenant Love
Are Truly, Enduringly, His Very Own!

This Is Gospel Good News!
We Are Not Alone!
