EXHORTATION: Be Wise!

When We Testify
We Give A Knowledgeable Account Of 
What We Have Seen, Heard, And Or Experienced! 
When We Exhort
We Seek To Have Our Hearers Understand, Accept 
And 
Act Upon What Is Being Heard! 

Beloved, 

We Have Good News To Tell 
And
We Also Have Good Counsel To Act Upon ... For Ourselves!

We Live In An Untoward Generation
Amongst A People Who Love And Live For Self
Who Denigrate God And Good And Elevate Evil
A Generation Which Sees The Fulfillment Of 
The Lust Of The Flesh 
And 
The Lust Of The Eye 
And 
The Acquisition Of The Pride Of Life 
As Their Only Reasons For Living: 
We Cannot ... As Christians
Walk In That Way Or Operate At That Level! 

Just In Case We Have Are Having
A Momentary "Convenient Memory Moment"
Let Me Remind Us All That
We Serve The King Of Glory ... Jesus Christ The Lord
And
As Willing, Obedient, Enduringly Faithful Servants 
We Must ... By Grace
Live Lives Which Are Above Reproach!

The Desire For The  
"Well Done, Good And Faithful Servant!"
The Desire To See Our Lord In Peace
And
The Desire To Be Known As We Are Known
Should Be Seriously Calling Our Names! 
The Love For Our Lord Christ
Should Keep Us All On The Straight And Narrow!

Brethren,

We Are Not To Be Prideful, Hateful
Arrogant, Gainsaying, Doubting, Wicked 
Or Disbelievingly Unruly! 

Our God 
Is 
Real And Accessible 
And 
True And Kind ... The King! 

I Beseech Us All, Beloved
Please Let Us So Live That 
We Will Not Be Amongst Those Whom He Shall Judge 
And 
Condemn! 

Please Dare To Walk The Easy-Hard Road To Glory 
Even If You Walk There Alone! 
Praying Is Power So Pray! 
Peace! 

The Invitation To ... The Door!?!

An Engraved Invitation 
Is 
Extended To All Who Choose To Believe That 
Innocent Blood Was Spilt In Their Personal Behalf
And
We, Being Grateful For Grace
Thankful For Truth
And 
Known Blessed Beyond Measure 
Are Invited To Willingly Bow Before The King
Jesus Christ The Lord: 

"Come, You Who Are Burdened

With A World Of Care

Laden With Guilt

Beset With Fears Of What Is, What Was

And, Indeed

What Shall Be! 

In Faith

Please Humbly Approach Me 

And

For Love

I Will Heal, Save, Teach, Feed

And

Bless Thee!" 

Beloved, 

Let No Man Like Yourself 
Stand Between You And Your God! 
Get Thee Hence Unto Our Maker 
And 
Give Your Back To Satan, King Fraud! 

Let No One

Take Bread Out Of Your Mouth

Who Cannot Give You

A Biscuit To Replace It!

Only Jesus Christ Can Shepherd Us! 
Only The Holy Spirit Can Comfort And Teach Us
And 
Only Holy Angels Can Influence Us To Do Good 
And 
Protect Us! 

Our Father ... Our Holy Father
Is 
In Heaven 
And 
He Doesn't Wear
The Self-Serving Priests And Church-Men Garb:
His Character Is Pristine
And
He Doesn't Serve To Be Heard And Seen! 

The Living Word 
Is 
True
And 
The Purchased Promise 
Is 
Sure 
So Get Thee Unto Christ Jesus
The One Who Is Called The Door! 

Trust Yourself To The King Eternal 
And
You Shall Know ... Perfect Peace:
He Is Giving Out Lots On The Eternal Life Lease!

We Are So Very Important To Almighty God

That

Everyone Of Us

Willing To Use

The Humble Prayer Exchange Service

Has

A Direct Line To The Throne Of Grace

And

The Ear Of The Majesty Of Heaven!

**--**--**--**--**

Have You Called On Jesus Christ Today!?!

JUST A LIL' REMINDER: "... In The Presence Of My Enemies!"

Prophets, Priests And Kings Are Anointed With Oil 
And 
We Of The Household Of Faith 
Are Anointed By The Holy Spirit 
And 
All Of Us Are Set Apart For Use ... Holy Use! 

Please Let Us Consider The Blessing Which Attends Us: 
The Lord Of Life, Earth And Glory 
"Daring" To Show Us 
In The Very Presence Of Our Known-Rabid Enemies
- On A Table - It Ain't Going To Be Small
All The Good And Perfect Gifts That He, Himself
Is 
Spreading Out For His Children Who Dare, No
Who Delight In Loving 
And 
Leaning On Him
And 
Learning From 
And 
Obeying His Holy Word! 

Beloved, 

In The Day When Circumstance 
Is 
Being Unkind ... Even Cruel
Please Remember That Your Cup Of Heavenly Blessings 
Is 
Overflowing Even When You Can't Physically See It
Or The Dear One Who Is Filling It!

Consider This ...

The Promise Of Blessing 
Was Purchased For Us 
And 
Is Sealed With Jesus Christ's Innocent Blood: 
Believe The Word
Live The Holy Life 
And 
Prosper! 

The Lord Christ

Has Done

And

Is Doing

All The Heavy Lifting:

All We Have To Do

Is

Accept The Offer

And

Accede To The Will Of Almighty God!!

Just A Lil' Reminder ...

Please Remember That 
Working Faith Causes Our God To Show Up: 
His Blessing Cupboard Can't Be Cleaned Out 
And 
Your Cup Of Blessing Can't Run Out! 

Be Faithful! 
Be Prayerful! 
Be Thankful!
Be Obedient And ... Be Blessed! 

Be At Peace

With

And

In

The Eternal God!!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Moderately Christian Christian!?!

We Cannot Beat The Lord's Giving
So Let Us Work Out Our Own Soul's Salvation

With Godly Fear And Trembling!

Faith In The Heart 
Calls Forth Holiness In The Life 
And 
There Is No Creeping Compromise
No Yielding To Worldly Wisdom
And 
No Effort Made To Live With The Moderation Of 
"Ecumenical" Christianity 
Which Calls For The Casting Off Of The Plain And Pointed 
"Thus Saith The Lord!" 
In Favor Of The Deceitful And Deadly 
"Maybe Saith The Probably Good Lord!" 

Beloved,

The Exercise Of Faith Demands Total Obedience 
To The Word, Will And Way Of The Lord! 

The Lord Didn't Stutter When He Said 
To Obey Is Better Than To Sacrifice!
Lean Not On Your Own Understanding!
And
Every Work Will Be Brought Into Judgment 
With Every Secret Thing! 

We Are To Be Firm In What We Believe
Strong On Whom We Follow
And 
Unshakeable On The Holy Ground 
Upon Which We Are Building Our Sure House! 

A Moderately Christian Christian
Neither Totally Good Nor Totally Evil
And
Neither Fish Nor Fowl
Is 
An Abomination, Condemned ... Damned: 
Poison In Fruit Juice Kills Just As Dead 
As Poison Swallowed Neat! 

Let's Get Real 
And 
Declare Our Allegiance: 
Jesus Christ And Glory ... Or Bust!
Aka We're Going Home To Heaven 
Even If We Die Trying! 

Judgment Day Is On The Way
And 
Now Is Not The Time 
For Chasing Pride's Stolen Rainbow 
So Dare To Stand Firmly On And For The Truth
No Matter The Moral Cost:
Better Is In Store For The People Of God
When We Arrive In The Eternal Kingdom Of God! 

HAPPY SABBATH +CHARITY: Love And Truth Intertwined!

Talk Is Cheap When You Don't Have To Pay Taxes On Your Words

But

Cheap Talk Will Prove To Be Very Expensive

When ... Before The Judge Of All Flesh

We Must Give A Detailed Accounting For

All Our Useless Words! 

I May Say That I Love You! 

I May Give You A Charitable Donation

But

I Am Only Doing It To Get The Tax Deduction
The Press Coverage 
And
Man's Applause

Which ... Combined

Is

A Totally Wasted, Therefore Useless, Transaction

In The Holy God's All-Seeing 

All-Knowing, Ever-Present Holy Eyes! 

My "Love" Doesn't Bear Load 
And
It Doesn't Excrete Sweat:
It Doesn't Cost Me Anything!

Think On This Thing ... 

Charity Is Love
And
Love Speaks Truth! 

Love And Truth Are Intertwined

- Irretrievably Wrapped Up In Each Other - 

And 

Walk Amongst Men As One! 

Sadly, Many Of Us Act As Though 

Love And Truth Are To Be Prostituted For Pleasure

Sacrificed For Societal Elevation

And

Extended And Withdrawn 

As And How The Winds Of Change Do Blow!

Beloved, 

Love ... Heavenly, Abiding, Love

Is 

On The Job

Has One Job

And 

Performs That Job Always And Unfailingly!
Jesus Christ's Love For Us Produced Blood And Water:
He Gave His All For The Love Of Us All! 

The Word Works ... 

We Represent Heavenly Love
Salt
And 
Light On This Earth 
And 

We Are To Love Others Even As Jesus Loves Us:
Jesus Didn't ... Doesn't ... Give Us Any Short Rations! 

Let Us All In Christian Charity

- In Love And With Love For Our Lord Christ - 

Pray For The Holy Spirit's Outpouring 
And
Indwelling 

To Be On And In Us 

Empowering Us To Love All Our Brethren

Even The Unlovely

The Unlovable

The Unkind 

And 

The Ungrateful 

- As We Once Were - 

And 

Bless Us To Look Beyond Their Faults 

And 

Recognize Their Unvoiced Need 

And

Fill It ... As The Sweet Spirit Of Truth Impresses
Without The Theatrical Presentations
The Media Coverage
The Quid Pro Quo Aka Something For Something Show! 

We Are Christians

- Christ's Followers-  
With A Published Work To Do

So Let's Set Aside Self 

And 

Fervently Pray

And 

Do A Work Of Love ... Today! 

Let's Please The Lord Christ ... Today! 
Let's Love In Truth ... Today!

COMMITTED CHRISTIAN'S ARSENAL OF DEFENSE: Harken To The Voice Of Jesus Christ!

If 
There Is A "Default" Position 
In The Committed Christian's Arsenal Of Defense
It Is To Harken 
To Hear 
And 
Obey The Word Of The Lord ... Unreservedly! 

Know The Right ...

We Are Creatures Of Free Will 
With Free Choice 
And 
As Christians Committed To The Cause Of Jesus Christ 
We Must Do Absolutely Nothing That 
Will Cause Us To Reject Truth 
And 
Bask On Self Street 
And 
Feast On The Lunch Of Lies 
Coughed Up By The Chef De Partie Liarman Bold
Satan The Damned ... The Wannabe God! 

Let Us Dare To Hear, Trust, Obey 
And 
Do All That We Are Instructed To Do 
By Our Loving Lord 
And
Willingly Choose To Make That Our Always On
Always First
Always Last 
And
Only Position 
In All Things That Are A Part Of Our Journey To Jesus
Our Journey To Christ's Everlasting Life! 

Get Your Praise On!
Send Your Prayers Up ... 

May The Lord ... In His Wisdom
Through His Grace Shed Abroad Upon Us
Help Us To Stand Up Against 
The Surging Tide Of Practiced Evil
Wayward Willfulness
Deft Disobedience 
And 
Soul-Sickening Self-Worship
And
To Live With The Set Washed-In-Innocent-Blood Position Of 
Enduring Faith
Trustful Humility
And 
Willing Obedience 
In The Presence Of Our God! 

Pray Always: Obedience Profitably Pays!

Remember:

With No Christ In The Life

There's No Peace In The Heart

Nor A Way To Shift Satan

And

No Ship To Holy Heaven

With Your Name On The Manifest

Waiting For The Call To Depart!

DON'T BE REBELLIOUS: Accept The Holy Call And Be Humble!

The Only Human That Is Beyond 
The Ever-Present Help Of The Eternal Holy God 
Is 
The One  

• Who Refuses To Accept ThatThe Counsels Of The Word Of God Are Truth, Light And Life
• That Refuses To Acknowledge That All Lawlessness Is Sin And Refuses To Call Sin By Its Real Name
• That Rejects The Guidance And Chiding Of The Holy Spirit Who Leads Into All Truth 
• Who Refuses To Humble Themselves Before Their Creator And Chooses To Make Their Willful Self Their Perfect Master, Lord And God

Beloved, 

Humility Before Almighty God 
Is 
A Mark Of Growing In Grace 
And 
Walking In Available Light That 
Marks The Way To Our Eternal Home! 

Please ... I Beseech Us All
Do Not Indulge In Presumptuous Sin 
Aka Rebellion Which Is As Witchcraft
And 
Known Idolatry! 

Indulge In Cogitation ...

No Matter How Much Man Elevates
And
Worships Himself
And
Others Who Indulge In Unholy Boldness
And
Practice The Base Lifestyle
Fallen Man Will Never Be Holy Or Divine!

The Results Are In ...

We Are Mortal, Finite, Creatures 
But 
Our Creator God, King 
And 
Final Judge 
Is 
Infinite And Immortal
Loving, Kind, Giving And ... Forgiving! 

Get A Grip On It ...

Let's Be Wise 
And 
Practice Saying: 

"I Am Weak Without You 

And

I Am Sorry For My Sin, Father! 

Please Forgive Me 

And

Help Me To Live By Faith In Your Holy Light 

And

Choose Always To Do The Good And The Right!" 

The Fact Remains ...

It Is Better To Bend Than To Burn: 
Obey God-Given Godly Counsel And Live! 

Jesus Christ's Perfect Peace

Passes All Human Understanding:

Dare To Be Wise Unto Salvation

And

Get Yourself A Whole Share

From Him Who

For Your Purchased Soul

Sacrificially Cares! 

Don't Fall For The Devil's Dangerously Deceitful Dainties!

Wherever Deceit Is Practiced
Rest Assured That There Is Confusion
And 
Anger And Hatred 
And Often
Bloodshed! 

Beloved, 

We Are Children Of The Heavenly Father 
And 
We Are To Live In Peace With All Men ... Where Possible! 

A Liar Is A Deceiver 
And 
Deception 
Is 
A Favored Child Of Satan! 
Satan's Machinations, Manipulations, Lies 
And 
Deceits 
Caused War In Heaven
Cost One-Third Of The Heavenly Their High Estate
Caused Eve And Adam To Sin
Caused Death And Decay To Arise Amongst Men
And 
Caused The Death Of The Lord Christ! 

We, Today, Are Participants 
In The Continued Outworking Of Deception In High Places 
By Satan, The Prince Of The Power Of The Air: 
Don't Fall For His Devilish Dainties! 

Activate The Heavenly Intelligences ...

Please Let Your Prayers
For Power, Preservation 
And 
Provision 
Go Up To The Throne Of Grace Continually ... Unfailingly 
Because 
We Have The Prayer-Answering God Of Sufficient Grace 
For Our Ever-Present Help! 

Faithful, Fervent, Praying

Changes Perspectives

People

And

Positions

And

Provides Perfect Peace!

"Incline Thine Ear To Us And Grant Us Thy Peace!" 
Is 
Often Reverently Sung: 
Let Us Sing It 
And
Live As Though We Truly Believe It! 

The Lord Jesus Christ 
Is 
Just, Faithful, Good, Kind And Ever True: 
He Will Not 
And 
Cannot Deceive You! 
Pray On And Enjoy True Peace!

Deceit Is A Lying Destroyer

From

The Liar-Destroyer

Who Will Be Destroyed

By The Truth Of The Great Creator!

**--**--**--**--**

 Intimately Know The Truth

That Comes Of

The Living, Holy, God

And

You Will Never Fall For The Deceits

Of

Satan

The Damned-For-Eternity God-Fraud!

Give Thanks Anyhow

It Is Not Easy

To Give Thanks In A Storm! 

It Is Not Easy To Give Thanks

When One's Heart Is Torn

But

The Father Has Given Instruction

For Us To Give Thanks ... Anyhow 

And

If We Are Going To Be Obedient Children Of God 

Students Of The School Of Jesus Christ

And

Servants Of The Master

It Is Become Imperative That

We Start Giving Thanks

And

Doing So Right Now!

 

In All Things Give Thanks! 

Give Thanks With A Grateful Heart! 
There Is None Good But God! 

God Be Merciful To Me ... A Sinner! 

Beloved, 

Our Good God Is Gracious

A Stronghold In The Time Of Trouble 
And 

A Pleasance

A Good And Peaceful Place Wherein To Dwell At All Times! 

This Same Good And Gracious God 
Bestows Mercy ... Enduring Mercy ... Upon Us All 
Whether We Are Faithful Or Doubtful

Thankful Or Ungrateful

Planning For Heaven 

Or 
Booked For Hell! 

Get A Grip ...

Hold On

- Against Common-Sense Or Apparent Evidence - 

To The Living Word

To The Holy God

To Truth Everlasting! 

The Fact Remains ...

Anything That Endures, Lasts
And 

Anyone Who Endures All For Christ 
- To The End Of Mortal Life -

Shall Live Again To Live The Enduring Life Everlasting 

In The Land Of The Forever Blessed! 

Please, I Beseech Us All

Hold On To Your Hope With Faithful Hands
Because

Our God's Mercy Shown To Us 

Can Never Fail To Bless Us! 

Dare To Choose To Trust, Obey

And Hope

And Endure 

Through Your Journey To Life: 
Enduring Mercy ... Jesus Christ The Lord The King

Is 

With Us 

And

For Us! 

Encourage Yourself ...

Pray! 

Give Thanks! 

Sing The Songs Of Zion! 

Rest On The Merciful Jesus 

And 

Know Of A Surety That
You Shall Be Forever Blessed! 

Jesus Christ's Gift Of Peace

Is

The Only Peace That Lasts

And

Almighty God's Free Mercy Endures Forever

So ... In The Name Blessed Forever

The Name Of Jesus Christ Our Lord The King:

"Peace Be Upon You

As You Experience

Almighty God's

Free-To-All Mercy

Today!" 

JESUS SAVES: Joy Comes In The Morning!

KNOW YOUR SAVIOR:

Almighty God Lifts Up Those

Who Humble Themselves Before Him!

No Matter How Terrible The Day
No Matter How Cruel The Adversary
No Matter How Dark The Night Of Despair
Oh, Child Of The Household Of Holy Faith
Our God Almighty 
Is 
Right There With Us! 

Beloved, 

The Enemy Of Souls 
And 
His Minions Called Unregenerate, Unrepentant Man 
May Come At Us Like The Angry Sea 
With The Storm Of Wind 
But
Our Lord Jesus Christ Says To That Angry Sea: 
"Peace!" 
And To That Storm Of Wind: 
"Be Still!" 
Aka 
"You've Done Enough 
And You've Said Enough 
So Go Away And Know Your Place!" 

Brethren,

Please Dare To Remember 
And Believe 
And Trust 
The Word That Says 
We Are Neither Forsaken, Forgotten 
Nor Left Alone To Suffer Alone! 

Our Lord Feels Our Hurts
Knows Our Adversaries
Cares For Our Souls
Reveals The Way Clear
And 
Heals All Our Wounds! 

Trust The Lord's Love 
And 
Hold On To The Lord's Strong Arm: 
He Makes A Way Where There Is None Visible
Sends Ravens With Food
And 
Pours Water Out Of Impermeable Rock! 

The Devil Is The Liar! 
Give The Living, Loving God Glory, Praise And Honor! 
Pray: Don't Yield To Decimating Doubt! 
Let No One Steal Your Joy In Jesus! 
Peace Be Upon Us All!

KNOW YOUR ADVERSARY:

Satan Eggs On To Folly

And

Lifts Up Those

Whom He Will Destroy!!
