OUT WITH THE OLD: Pursue Peace!







Jesus Christ 
Is 
The Light Of Life
The Light Of The World
The Hope Of Every Man, Woman, And Child! 

Beloved, 

The Old Year 
Is 
In The Departure Lounge Leaving Time
And
Is Headed For Eternity
Never To Pass This Way Again!
 
What Has Been Done Can't Be Undone 
But
By Almighty God's Great Grace 
And
With Spared Lives
- By Confession And True Heart Repentance - 
Mistakes And Missteps Can Be Corrected: 
Fix Them! 

What Unkind And Hurtful Words Have Been Spoken 
Cannot Be Unsaid 
But
Like Any Bad Laws Of A Country
They Can Be Amended: 
Apologize
And 
Don't Repeat Them! 

Choose To Change Your Thoughts 
And Thereby
Change Your Words 
And 
Your Actions! 

The New Year Is Drawing Nigh! 
Let's Not Indulge In The Ineffective 
"New Year, New Rules" Last A Week Nonsense! 

Let's Get Serious About Living The Life Of Christ 
Aka Living Our Lives For Christ 
Which Shall Surely Overflow 
Into How We Live With Our Fellowmen! 
Do To And For Others
What You Personally Desire 
To Have Done To You
And 
For Yourself! 

Pray! 

Talk Is Cheap! 
Whiskey Is Expensive! 
Truth Is Free! 

Pray Without Ceasing! 

Choose To Be Kind! 
Share Your Faith! 
Pursue Peace! 
Exercise Your Faith! 
Pray With Passion!
Pray For Power!

Jesus Christ
Is 
Our Answer: 
Jesus Christ, Alone, Saves! 

Peace Be Upon You All!

Live With A Light Touch!











A Christian Desirous Of 
And 
Avidly Seeking After The Easy Life 
On Colorful, Brightly Lit 
And 
Always Entertaining Broadway
Is 
A Sweet Treat 
And 
A Cheap Play-Thing For That Damned Satan! 

As Committed Christians
We Have Been Told 
And 
Have Had This Truth Repeated For Us To Gain Wisdom 
- Foresight To Operate 
And 
Insight To Maneuver -
So That We Do Not Have To Suck On 
Hindsight's Tailpipe Of Regret 
As We Vainly, Bitterly Utter: 

"Woe Is Me! 
I Could Have! 
I Would Have! 
I Should Have
But 
I, Disobedient, Did Not!" 

Beloved, 

We Know For A Fact That Anything In This Life That 
Is 
Truly Worth Possessing 
Comes At A Great Cost
Be It Blood, Sweat, Tears, Friends
Family ... Or Funds! 

Brethren, 

The Life Of Christ Shows Us 
What It Cost Almighty God
Father, Son And Holy Ghost
- In The Personal Sacrifice Of The Only One Innocent - 
To Gift To Us New Life ... Eternal Life
A Future 
And 
An Expected End Of Peace 
And 
Joys Forever! 

Beloved, 

Accepting And Holding The Blessed Gift 
Is 
Going To Cost Us Everything That Is Earthy! 
Please Live With A Light Touch 
And 
An Even Lighter Hold On Earth's Goods! 

Remember, Remember 
Don't Ever Forget ... 

Carnal Pleasure And Ease 
Will Never Satisfy Our Hungry Souls: 
Look Up To Jesus Christ Always
And
In All Ways
And
Be Eternally Blessed! 

Obedience
To The Immutable Truth
Pays
Eternal Dividends!

TWILIGHT ZONE: Christian Complacency!?!







How Are You Standing, Walking, Talking
And 
Behaving As A Christian!?! 

Have You Forsaken The Committing Of Sin 
And
Are Feeling Quite Self-Satisfied 

Or

Are You In That Twilight Zone 
Where You Are Guilty Of Not Doing 
What Is Good And Right!?! 

Beloved, 

Every One Of Us Who Names The Name Of Jesus Christ 
Must Guard Against Complacency
And 
Feeling All Proud Of Ourselves 
Because 
We Are Not Active Participants Being Lawless 
And 
Transgressing The Laws Of The Holy God! 
Wake Up! 

We Are In More Danger From Committing The Sins Of Omission
- Of Not Doing Right - 
And 
That Is Exactly Where The Adversary Of God
The Adversary Of Our Own Souls 
Wants Us To Get Comfortable 
Both Day And Night! 

Doing Wrong ... And Not Doing Right 
Makes Us All Ready For The Burn-Barrel 
Which Makes Satan Very Happy 
And 
Christ Jesus Very Sad! 

Knowing Right 
And 
Deliberately Doing Wrong 
Is 
The Sin Of Presumption! 

Doing Neither Right Nor Wrong 
Is 
The Sin Of Neglecting The Great Salvation 
For Which There Is No Possible Excuse! 

What Must Be Done Should Be Done! 
Doing Otherwise 
Marks Us As Being Among Those Fools Who Say That 
There Is No Living, Holy, God! 

Be Wise ... Unto Your Own Soul's Sure And Secure Salvation
And
Choose To Be
And
Be Gloriously Blessed!

Satan Does Not Feed: He Steals!
Do Not Permit Him
- Or His Wage Slaves -
To Rob You Of The Good And Heavenly Food 
Provided Free And Abundantly
To Whosoever Will
And
The Blessings Personally Purchased For You
At Infinite Cost
By Our Own Creator, Savior, Lord, God 
And
Soon Returning King! 
Don't Run With The Lost Cause Brigade!

THE EXCHANGE AND THE ELEVATOR: Cherish Your Neck!

 



There's The Expression: 

"Ef De Head Bad
De Whole Body Bad!" 

If We Indulge In Stinking Thinking
It Stands To Reason That The Body
- Permanently Fixed To The Head -
Goes Where The Head Leads! 

In Between The Head And The Body
Is 
The Long, Short
Fat Or Thin Neck That We Shall Call 
The Exchange 
And 
The Elevator! 

If We Remove The Head From The Neck
The Body Dies! 

If We Remove The Body From The Neck
The Body Dies! 

Beloved, 

To The Committed Christian
Jesus Christ, The Creator
Is 
The Head Attached To The Body 
By The Neck Called Grace! 

To Jesus Christ
The Body Is Us ... His Church
Connected To Him By The Neck Called Faith! 

Grace Coming Down The Neck 
Is 
Expansive, Wide, Deep
To Cover All Of Us 
- Each One Personally - 
In Every Need! 

Faith Going Up To Jesus 
Is 
A Narrow Beam 
And 
Does Not Allow For Vain Philosophy
Wayward Thinking
Disobedience
Willful Sins
Unbelief
Disbelief
Doubt Or Gainsaying! 
Guard Your Heart: Save Your Faith! 

Brethren, Beloved

Our Jesus Christ 
Is 
In His Glory 
And 
It Is Only By His Grace 
Through The Exercise Of 
His Gift To Us Of His Faith ... To Get To Glory
That We Shall Get To Glory!

Cherish Your Neck! 
Greedily Grab And Hold Grace 
And 
Boldly Use Aka Exercise Faith! 

By Working Faith
Endure All Things In Order To Reach 
The Golden Shore!

REVIVAL AND REFORMATION: Things Go Better With Jesus Christ The Lord!






There's The Saying: 
"Seldom Comes A Better!" 
And 
"Yuh Know Wha' Yuh Got! 
Yuh Ain't Know Wha' Yuh Goin' Get!" 

Beloved, 

These Sayings Are According To Those Of 
The Carnal, Earthly, Bent 
Not Given To Belief In 
The Things On The Higher, Heavenly, Ground! 

Our Lord Jesus 
Is 
The God Of Love, Revelation, Truth
And 
Unimaginable Blessings 
And 
He Calls Us To Come Up ... Higher! 

He Calls Us All To Revival 
And 
Reformation! 
We Must Change How We Think
And
We Must Change Our Behavior! 
We Must Dare To Constantly Improve 
And 
Choose To Stop Roving From Pillar To Post! 

Let Us Dare To Courageously Say To Ourselves: 

"I'm To Improve My Condition! 
I Must Prove Jesus Christ For Myself
So That My Walk With Him Through This Life 
Will Lead To My Spiritual Improvement
And
Elevation To Christ's Eternal Life In Glory!"

These Are Not Idle Words Uttered To A Useless Idol! 
These Are Profitable Words Petitioning The Creator God
All-Knowing, All-Seeing
And 
With Us, Everyone, Ever-Present! 

Our Lord Doesn't Stutter 
And 
For Certain Sure
He Can And Does Back Up His Promises 
With Products And Provision From Paradise! 

Beloved, 

Let's Choose To Improve To Avoid Constant Reproof! 
Look Up
And 
Get Up To Go Up ... Higher! 

The Way Of The Lord Of Life
The Shepherd Of Rest
The God Of Mercy And Grace
Is 
Blessed 
And Better 
And Best 
In Every Way Every Day: 
Jesus Christ, Alone, Saves Sinners!



In Jesus Christ
Is
Perfect Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: I-KNOW: Children Of The Light!

 




We Are Charged By The Lord Of Love 
To Live Good And Upright Lives 
Motivated By Justice, Mercy 
And 
Humility 
Because 
No One Can Escape The Consequence Of Sin 
Even If We Have Confessed 
And 
Repented Of That Sin! 

We Are Warned 
To Honestly Do To Others 
What We Personally ... Truthfully
Want Done Unto Us! 

Beloved, 

When The Lord Cautions Us 
For Or Against A Thing
It Will Do Us Well 
To Take Earnest Heed! 

We ... For Our Own Safety's Sake
Need To Practice Unrestrained Obedience
While Totally Disregarding Damnable Doubt
And
Deadly Defiance 
If 
It Is Our Whole Heart's Desire 
To See Our Savior In Perfect Peace! 

Let's Cease From The I-Feel 
And 
Hold To The I-Know 
Which Comes From The Sure And Secure 
"Thus Saith The Lord Of Life!" 
In Whom Is No Shadow Of Turning
Instability Or Deceit! 

Let Us Choose The Meek, Humble
Teachable
Enduringly-Faithful Spirit Of The Child Of God 
Truly Bound For Glory! 

By Almighty God's Great, Matchless, Grace
Let Us Allow The Holy Spirit To Do His Saving Work 
To Help Us Change Our Wayward Thoughts 
And By Extension
Our Untoward Actions 
So That Our Lord Will Find Good Pleasure 
In Us Who Are His Truly Blessed Children Of The Light! 

Peace Be Upon You! 
May The Bountiful Blessings Of The Lord Jesus Christ
Make You Rich Indeed!

HAPPY SABBATH + GOD WITH US: God In Us!









Without Jesus Christ ... Immanuel
- God With Us -
We Have No Celebration 
Or Anything To Celebrate 
But
Because Jesus Christ Is, Indeed, With Us
And 
We Have His Holy Spirit In Us 
As A Gift
A Blessing
A Benefit
And 
The Holy Angels Around Us Protecting Us 
As They  Protected Him In His Earthly Sojourn
Let Us In Gratitude For Gifts Already Received 
And
Gifts Still On The Foot
On The Wing
And
On The Way
Dare To Bless Ourselves
Bless Others
And 
Bless Almighty God 
By Thoroughly Becoming Like Our Gracious King
Known Loving, Good, Kind
Giving And Forgiving! 

Let Our Celebrating Be Our Testimony 
Declaring True Thankfulness 
For The Greatest Gift That 
Man Has Ever Received
Or Will Ever Receive! 

Let's Celebrate Almighty God In Us
Our Hope For Glory
As We Pay Our Vows Of Obedience
Faithfulness, Gratitude 
And 
Thankfulness! 

Let's Really Celebrate Jesus Christ 
The Lord Who Is Truly Doing A Good Work In Us 
By His Gift To Us Of His Sweet And Holy Spirit! 

Let's Open Almighty God's Good And Perfect Gifts 
And
Thoroughly Use Them Daily 
To Show Our Dear And Celebrated Savior That 
Our Love For Him Is Not Just For Once A Year
Or Once A Day
But 
Is For All Day
Every Day
And
All Year Long! 

Welcome, Dear Redeemer 
Into Our Lives Committed Solely To Doing Your Will 
And 
Walking In Your Holy Way
This Day And Forever! 

Jesus
... Peace ...
Is
With Us!

BE ENCOURAGED: You Are Not Alone!








All Throughout Holy Writ 
Is 
The Constant Refrain 
"Be Strong! 
Be Of Good Courage! 
Do Not Fear!" 

The Lord Jesus Says To Us: 
"Let Not Your Heart Be Troubled
Neither Let It Be Afraid!" 
And
We Are Encouraged To 
"Trust In The Lord With All Thy Strength! 
Pray Without Ceasing! 
Let Your Requests Be Made Known Unto God!" 

Beloved, 

All Who Wait Upon The Lord Our God
Shall Have Their Strength Renewed! 

We Who Wait Upon The Lord Of Glory
Shall Be Like Mount Zion
Unshakeable
Unmovable! 

Let Us Prayerfully Meditate On The Fact That 
Too Often We Faithfully Wait On The Lord 
Until 
We Reach The Border Of The Promised Land! 

We Forget Who Has Brought Us 
"Safely Thus Far!" 
And 
We Start To Trust Our Own Lying Sight
And 
Self-Deceived Understanding! 

We Forget That The Lord Says 
"Walk In Faith!" 

We Forget That The Wisdom Of Man 
Is 
Foolishness To Almighty God! 

We Forget Whose We Are 
And
Who It Is That Goes Before Us 

And

We Turn Back To The Desert Of Sin 
When The Lord Would Have Parted The Waters
- Even The Waters Of Strife - 
And
Made Dry Ground For Us 
To Enter The Goodly Land Of Total Peace 
And
Perfect Rest! 

Our God Is Just And Faithful
So Forsake Not His Ways: 
Walk Holy
- According To His Sovereign Holy Will - 
And 
Be Daily Blessed 
And 
Eternally Saved! 

There Is No Peace
For
The Willing Sin-Slave!

EXPERIENCING ALMIGHTY GOD: Do The Work!






It Is Impossible To Know Aka Experience Almighty God 
Through Experimenting, Touching, Seeing
And 
Being Personally With Jesus Christ 
Without Being Changed
Without Having Our Attitudes, Actions
And 
Words Being Changed! 

When We, Committed
Are Faithfully, Obediently, Walking With The Lord
Our Personality
Our Character
And 
Our Desires
Radically Change! 

Beloved, 

It Is With Good Reason That Jesus Christ Warns Us 
Against Being Amongst Those Who Say 
"Lord, Lord!" 
But 
Are Daringly Disobedient To The Will 
And 
Ways Of God! 

Seriously Think About It... 

We Go To School To Learn
To Know Specific Material 
By Interacting With It! 

When We Know The Diligently Studied Material
We Are Changed 
Because 
Pathways In Our Minds Are Created
And 
We Are Able To Be Tested
And 
We Are Able To Pass The Test 
To Prove Our Acquisition
Our Knowing Of The Subject Matter! 

Knowing Almighty God 
Through Jesus Christ The Lord
By The Holy Spirit Who Leads Us Into All Truth 
Is 
No Different! 

We Are All Going To Be Severely Tested!

Be Warned, Beloved! 
No Talking-Head "Christian" 
Shall Ever Enter The Eternal City! 

Only Those Committed Christians Who Live The Word
Who Walk The Talk
Who Are Transformed By The Renewing Of Their Minds 
As They Search The Scriptures 
And
Do The Lab-Of-Life Experiments 
Along With The Challenges Therein Outlined 
For The Saving Of Their Purchased Souls 
Shall Enter The City Of God! 

The Lord Means Exactly What He Says! 
Don't Just Hear The Word: 
Do The Work! 


Peace
Is
Profoundly Peaceful!

USE YOUR PERMANENT ERASER: Be A Humble, Praying, Saint!







There Was A Time When Correction Tape
Liquid Paper 
And 
Typewriter Erasers Were A "Thing!" 

We Were Mightily Glad For The Blessing Of 
Removing Errors 
Without Having To Start Over Again! 

Beloved, 

There Is A Time ... Now
When We Have The Marvellous Benefit Of Faith
Grace
Prayer
And
Confession And Repentance 
To Rid Ourselves Of Natural
Cultivated Sin
Pet Sin
And 
Besetting Aka Persistent, Attacking, Sin
While The Door Of Mercy 
Is 
Open To Whosoever Will Aka You! 

We Say That We Love Others 
And 
We Love God! 
We BoldlyLie To Others
But 
We Cannot ... Ever ... Lie To Almighty God! 

If We Truly Love Jesus Christ
We Will Not Lie To Ourselves About 
Our Burden Of Sin! 

We Will To Make Good 
And 
Productive Use Of That Incredible Eraser 
From The House Of Grace Called Prayer Of Faith 
Which Activates Genuine Confession And Repentance 
By The Ministration Of The Holy Spirit Of Truth-Eternal 
Which Deftly Unlocks The Master-Controlled 
Permanent-Eraser Called Mercy-Free 
Which Leaves No Trace Or Residue Of
Confessed And Repented Of Sin! 

Don't Lie To Your Self!
Stop Lying To Yourself!

Look To Jesus Christ The Righteous
And 
Boldly Speak Truth In Righteousness! 

Use Your Eraser Allowance 
And
Set Yourself Free 
To Truly Love The Lord Who Cannot Lie 
And
To Also Love Others Who Do Lie! 

Love ... And Share ... Truth

And 

Erase Sinful Self And Seducing Sin: 
Be A Humble Praying Saint!
 

The Peace Of Almighty God
Ain't Piece-Meal!

STOP SHOWING YOUR GOAT-PARTS: Don't Compromise Truth!







Why Settle For Cheap, Temporary Infatuation 
When You Can Bask, Bathe, In Everlasting Love
Blessed, Proved, Sure, Secure!?!

Why Accept A Pound Of Gold 
When You Can Have Streets Of Gold
A Home Built On Twelve Foundations Of Stones Most Precious 
And 
The Love Of The Pure And Holy Heart Of Him Who Died 
To Give Us His Everlasting Life!?! 

Beloved, 

Be Honest And Believe That You Are Personally Blessed! 
Be Faithful 
And 
Remember All The Times When Hope Was Gone
Despair Was Raging 
And 
All That Was Left In Your Head Was The Word Of Love:


"The Lord Is My Shepherd
A Stronghold In Time Of Trouble
My Hope, Help And Salvation 
My Refuge And My Strength!"
 

You Heard The Voice Of Jesus Saying:

"Come Unto Me And Rest!" 

And 
You Did! 

You Rested 
And 
You Were Refreshed! 

You Touched Love
Felt Love 
And
Returned Love
And
Embraced Perfect Peace! 

Jesus Christ, Alone, Saves: 
Don't Cheat! 

Jesus Christ Loves You
Individually, Personally ... Passionately: 
Don't Compromise Truth

And

Stop Showing Your Goat Parts! 

Stop Butting! 
Stop Bleating About 
But, Can't
If, Why
When, Where And How 
And
Start Enjoying ... Really Enjoying
The Perfect Love That Won't Let You Go 
And 
The Loving-Kindness That Won't Fail You ... Ever!

 

There Is No Peace
Without
Christ Jesus!

Stop "Helping" Almighty God Do His Work!

 




Stop Helping Almighty God Do His Work: 
He Is In Control! 

Stop Neglecting Doing Your Work: 
You Are Called To Obedience! 

Beloved, 

Too, Too Often, We Spend Time Trying Really, Really Hard 
To Be God's Traffic Director 
Arranging The Traffic Pattern In Our Lives 
And 
The Lives Of Those We Love, Despise Or Disregard: 
Stop It! 

If You Knew What The Good God Knows 
You Would Do What God Does 
So Humbly Get With The Sure Plan Of Salvation 
And
Take Care Of The Living God's Business 
Which Takes Care Of Your Own! 

Let Us Choose To Humble Ourselves 
Under The Mighty Hand Of God 
Who Is Mighty To Save 
And
Strong To Deliver! 

Let Us Not Follow The Fad 
Which Sees Us Always Having A "Word From God" 
Which Sees Us Meddling With Things 
Way Above Our Pay Grade! 

The Eternal God Speaks: 
Listen ... And Do! 

You Are Human: 
Obey The Written Word ... And Be Blessed! 

The Holy Spirit Of The All-Knowing God 
Will Never Contradict 
The Immutable Word Of The Ever-Present God 
And 
Neither Should We Finite, Frail, Fallible Creatures! 

Remember, Remember 
Don't Ever Forget ... 

Evil And Lies Can't Prosper 
And
Good And Truth Can't Perish! 
Do The Math 
And
Get To Stepping ... To Hill Zion! 



Be At Peace
With All People
Where Possible!
