Let The Master Teacher Enter In!

People, People!
Let's Keep Our Focus!
All That's Required Comes From Three Little Words!

Everybody Knows The Three Words:

Do-Good Ain't Always-Right!

Love Your Brother!
Share Your Faith!
Live In Peace!
Walk In Truth!
Be The Light!
Love The Lord!
Spread The Gospel!
Should I Continue!?!

No, Thank You!
You Sounded Awfully Bored In Your Delivery!

Oh, I Was!

We Hear The Same Thing Every. Single. Week.
I Could Do With A Change!

Sinclair!
It's Official!
You're My New Favorite!
I've Got The Change You're Looking For
And
The Change We All Desperately Need!

Brethren,
Our Three Little Words
New, Needed And Necessary
Are ... Drum Roll, Please:


Confess!
Repent!
Obey!

You Had To Go There!
You Just Had To Go There!

Why Did You Have To Go There ...?!?

... Because The Lord Gives Us Freely Of 
Grace, Mercy And Love
And
We, Being Faithful Servants
Good Children
And
Attentive Students
Need To Give The Lord Our Gifts Of
Confession, Repentance And Willing Obedience!

A Good Christian With Unconfessed Sin
Is 
As Profitable  ... As Useful
As Bound For Glory As ... As ... A ...!

... As An Unrepentant Sinner!

He Ain't Ever Going To Glory 
With Jesus Christ The Lord!

Oh, Sinclair!
You've Just Proved Why You're My Favorite Today!

Jesus Doesn't Have Favorites!

Jesus Also Doesn't Have Any Sin!
What's Your Point!?!

Just Once! Just Once!

Just Once What!?!

Just Once 

I'd Like To Have The Last Word Against You!

That's Easy!
Say Something Amazing To Shut Me Up!
Blow My Mind ... And Close My Mouth!

Father, You Heard Him!

To Be Serious, Rainey, We Are Not In Competition!
We're Searching For Hidden Treasure!
We're Searching For His Truth
So Let Us Cooperate With His Spirit
And
I'm Sure That We'd All Have A Nugget Of Gold
With The Brethren To Share!



Father,
Please Open The Young Lady's Eyes

And
Bring Your Saving Truth Into Her View
And
Remember Us All, Also
For We're Listening, Lord, To You!
Let The Class Begin!
Let The Master Teacher Enter In!
In Jesus Christ's Holy Name, We Plead!
AMEN!!!


Beloved,

Our Biggest Crime 
Against Our Own Souls
And
Against Our Holy God
Is
Our Indulging In Self-Deception!
Self-Deception Does Not Negate
Our Need For Willing Obedience To The Lord!

Take Heed ...

Have A Look In The Mirror 
And 
See Your Face!
Have A Look In The Word Of God 
And 
See Your Living Condition: 
Your Known Disgrace!

We Receive Information From Both Sources 

About Which We Must Make Actionable Decisions! 
Choose Well!
Choose Wisely!
And
Earmark For Yourself In Heaven A Place!


The Problem Is That 
Neither Of These Disclosing Agents 

Will Do The Necessary Work For Us 
To Clean A Dirty Face
Or Reform ... Change ... A Sinful Life! 

We Are God's Most Intelligent Creatures On Earth 

Who Have Free Will ... Free Choice
Able To Take Knowledge 
And 
By Wisdom From On High
Use Understanding To Gain Profitable Outcomes!

The Bible 
Is 
A Work-Book

Not A Fairy Tale Story Book
So Get Your Pencil 
And 
Get To Doing The Work! 

For Mistakes Made ... For Known Sin
The Contrite Heart's Prayer Of Confession 
And 
Repentance 
Is 
Your Eraser: Use It Liberally! 

AMEN!!!

May I Add Something, Please!?!

Of Course, Rainey!

Brethren,
Just Because We Can Confess And Repent
Of Our Known Sin
Let Us Not Use The Promise Of 
Our Father's Forgiveness
As An Open Pass To Indulge In 
The Sin Of Presumption!
Confession And Repentance Are Not Licenses
To Indulge In Folly!
Obedience Is A Shield!

Rainey,
Thank You, Kindly, For That Final Word!
There Is Nothing More To Add!
