Pride Can't Wear The Lord Christ's Crown

Too Worldly-Wise To Need The Win Over Sin

To Mighty To Be Mindful Of Wrong-Way Walking

And

Too Illuminated To Be By Truth Teachable

Don't Bow Before The King:

They Are Wearing Pearls
And
"The Emperor's New Clothes"

And

Are Willingly Wallowing In The Muck And Mire With The Swine! 

They Refuse Jesus Christ's Offer Of The New Birth! 

To Get To The Father's Glory

One Must Go Through Jesus Christ
The Lowly, Beloved Only Son! 

To Get The Righteous Man's Crown

One Must Be A Participant In The Good News Gospel Story! 

To Be Served At The Welcome Home Table

One Must Have First Served The Lord And His Fellowman

And

To Be Lifted Up To The Lord's Glory

One Must Be Faithful To The Always-Faithful King

Who Is, For His Beloved, Enduringly-Faithful Saints

Personal Places Preparing! 

Faithfulness To The Lord Christ
Is Its Own Reward ...

We Are Called To Fellowship ... Communion
Feasting And Celebration

To Live Forevermore
With The Faithful God Who Is The I AM! 

While We Live, We Are Present! 

When We Die, We Are Passed From Time Into Eternity 

And Yet

Through It All

The Lord Christ Is Ever-Present 

Being Our Rock Of Refuge

Our Strong Tower Of Defence

Our Shelter In Calm And In Storm

Our Hope

Our Help

Our Salvation

Our Shepherd Of Rest

And

Our Only Hope For The Glory Unto Which We Are Called! 

Our Great God Cannot Lie! 

His Hands Are Not Short That 

He Cannot Perform His Promises

And 

His Ear Is Not Deaf To Our Cries 
Because 

He Is Touched By The Feelings Of Our Infirmities

By All That Concerns Us! 

Our God Is The Promise-Keeping God Who IS ... Here 

To Bless, Save, Reveal Truth
Revive And Reform Us

And 

Seal Us Against The Wrath To Come! 

Brethren, Beloved,

Jesus Christ Cannot Fail You 

So Be Faithful To Him: Believe Him

Receive Him

And 

Be Blessed To Live With Him Forevermore! 

He Personally Loves YOU

And

He Daily Gives Unto You A Daily Ration Of His Faith
To Use To Each Day To Get Home To Him!

You Are Not Called To Believe The Impossible! 

You Are Called To Set Aside Self

To Humble Your Willful Yourself

To Use Your Gift To Bless The Lord
Bless Yourself

And

Bless Others Each Day

As You Walk With Lord

To The Land Called Glory! 

Beloved, 

Self Is A Willing Sinner! 

Christ's Sure Salvation Makes The Confessed 
And 
Repentant Sinner

A Saint Of Almighty And Jesus The Christ! 

Victory ... Over Sin, Self, Satan, Hell

And

The Last Enemy, Death

Was Purchased For Us By Our Savior-King

And Is

Guaranteed To Be Achieved By Us
Through The Faith That He Gives Unto Us
Which, Used, Cannot Ever Fail! 

Please Look Up To Jesus, Our Lord Christ

And

By His Loving Care

Your Needy Soul Abundantly Feed! 

Give Him Your Will To Control!
Let No One
No Habit
No Sin
Steal Either Your Joy In Jesus
Nor Your Purchased-At-Infinite-Cost Crown! 

Peace!

Pride Will Never With Faith Treat

Because

Pride Is The Presumptuous Sinner's

Precarious Perch

From Which He Refuses To Descend

Because That Would Mean

His Unprofitable High-Mindedness

And

Gross Disobedience Must End!
