JESUS CHRIST'S CHRISTIANITY: The Two-Fold ... Not Two-Faced ... Life!

Silent Prayer

And

Earnest Work

Live Wisely In The Two-Fold Life!

They Are Living What 
Is 
The Ideal Life Of The Committed Christian

Willingly Redeeming The Time

And

Eagerly Indulging Both Thought And Action!

They Are Living The Life Oft' Rejected 
By Such As Scoff At The Idea That

There Are Such Things As The Mortal Strife

Or The Sin Life

Or The Faith Life

Or The Life Of A Saint Of God And Christ

Or That A Sinner Born And Known

Has "Need" Of Repentance

Has A "Need' To Confess

Has A "Need' Of Forgiveness

And

Get Outta Here

Jesus Christ's Promised Sin-Cleansing!

To Those Unregenerate Minds

One Does Not Clean What One's Illuminated Mind
Does Not Call Dirty!

You Know, Educated, Learned, Man

Can Seriously Act Totally Asinine
With Little To No Provocation!

They Think 
So That Means That They Are Dot Dot Dot! 

I Agree!

I Was Once Of That Peculiar Breed

Who Deftly Chooses Not To Believe

In The Creator ... The Savior

The Redeemer ... The Friend

The Lord, The Eternal God

The Frowning Judge Of All Men!

I Be'n There!

I Done That!

I Walked Like A Fat Rat

Until A Sleek Cat With Sharp Claws

Had Me On My Back

At Which Time ...In Anguish Of Soul

I Cried Unto The Saving God

And

He Being Kind, Faithful And Able

And
Not Holding A Grudge For My Vociferous Neglect 

Sent An Angel Excelling In Strength 

To Free Me ... Really Free Me

From The Jaws ... The Claws Of Imminent Death

As Was The Object ... The Final Solution Of That One Unholy

Who Desires The Worship That Is Reserved For

That Is The Domain Of

The True And Living, Holy, Creator
Savior, Sustainer, Redeemer God!

It's Amazing What Happens 
When One Sees The LightThat Is Only Observable

When One Is In A For-Life Fight

When One Sees That There Is No Way Out

Save By Calling Upon The One Whom ... Prior

We Wittingly, Unwisely, Wayward-Thinking

Chose Boldly To Shamelessly Doubt!

Doubt 

Is 

Dastardly And Dangerous

And

Leads Us Into Temptation

That Sweet Treat ... Distributed By The Devil

Which Causes Us ... Against Christ's Righteousness

Foolishly To Cavil!

I Saw The Ship To Damnation's Sail!

I Saw Myself Looking At The Hangman's Veil!

I Had A Tiger By The Tail

And A Venomous Snake In A Short Pail

And I Was Lighting A Rocket

Even As I Sat Atop It!

Oh, Stop It!

I Kid You Not!

Fright Turns On Flood Lights

Putting Sin's Tattoo In Plain Sight

And

That Light Causes One To Think Fast

And Discern Quick

And

Call In The Now-Acknowledge Creator God 

Who Created Me
And
The Elephant

The Harpy Eagle

And
The Deer Tick!

That Surely Puts Paid To Evolution Right Quick!

I'm Telling You The Truth!
I Didn't Know How To Pray Until I Prayed Then!

I Didn't Recognize That I Was Thinking

Until I Saw What The Thought Produced!

I Didn't See The Need For Earnest Work

Until My Paycheck Was Presented

And

I Didn't Know I Needed The Savior

Until Satan Almost Had Me Completely Marked As 
Prime Meat For His Mortal-Death 
And
Eternal-Damnation Stew!

You, Too!?!

In Distress

I Finally Had Time To Think Of My Creator

His Creation

And

His Gifts To Me ...!

... You Had To Go There!

Did You Really Have To Go There!?!

A Man Can't Kick Against The Pricks

And Remain Comfortable!

Tell Me About It!

Remember The Parable Of Jesus

And That Phrase ...! 

... Occupy Till I Come! 
We Are Not Working For Our Selves!

Note That He Did Not Say

Do What Thrills Your Selfish Heart! 

But He Did Say That

He Is Coming Back! 

The Day Of Small Things! 

Yup!
The Settling Of Final Accounts! 

Brethren, 

Let's Take This To Heart! 

Jesus Christ 
Is 
The Master Who ... Before Going Away
Has Given To Us ...His Servants

Each One Of Us ... Individually

A Pound ... A Talent

To Be Used In His Service 
So That When He Shall Return

He Shall Receive His Investment ... With Usury
Interest
Aka Expected Profit! 

Every Human Being 
Has Received At Least One Talent From Almighty God 
And

We All Have Been Given Time! 

Let's Honestly Answer These Questions:

How Are You Using Your Time!?! 

For What And For Whom 
Are You Using Your God-Given Talents!?! 

I Believe The Answers Will Be Quite Surprising! 

We Are To Occupy ... Work 

Diligently And Conscientiously

Until Jesus Returns! 

Here's Another Set Of Questions 
To Ask Yourself And, Again, Honestly Answer: 

Will You Have A Good Report!?! 

Will The Lord Say To You 

"Well Done, Good And Faithful Servant!" 

Or

"Depart From Me!
I Never Knew You!?!" 

The Christian Life Is Made For Growing ... Gracefully

In The Favor Of The Eternal God

And

Time Is Made For Change

For Us ... Being Enduringly Willing
To Assimilate The Holy Character Of 
Jesus Christ The Lord!

I Sincerely Pray That We

- Made Wise By Bitter, Painful, Experience -

Will Permit The Holy Spirit Of Truth

To Be Our Guide Today ... And Always

As We Choose To Faithfully Bless The Lord 
With Our Time And Talents! 

Talents Used Are Multiplied! 

So, Then, We Are Back At The Point Of Beginning! 

Indeed! 

Silent Prayer ...!

... And Earnest Work! 

It's The Profitable Way To Live

And 
To Get To Eternal Living! 

AMEN!!!
