VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: The Living Word Of The Eternal God Works!






The Word Of God 
Is 
A Blood Sugar Monitor
A Blood Pressure Monitor
A Thermostat
A Temperature Gauge
And 
A Plaque-Disclosing Tablet 
When We Choose To Use It Wisely 
And 
Take Honest Steps To Gain 
And 
Preserve Our Spiritual Health 
As Directed By The Great Physician 
Through The Working Of The Holy Spirit Of Truth! 

Are You A Doing-Well Christian 
Or Are Your Numbers All Over The Place!?! 

Do You Need To Get The Hard Bits Out Of Your Heart 
Or Lower, Increase Or Maintain Your Temper ... Temperature 
To Be An Effective Witness For Christ
Or Sweeten Your Saltiness 
Or Salt Your Sugariness 
When Speaking For The Lord!?! 

Being Too Hard-Unapproachable
Too Hot-Untouchable
Too Cold-Unfeeling
Too Sweet-Accommodating
Or Too Salty-Abrasive
Requires Adjustments ... Fine-Tuning ... Fixing
By The Holy Spirit Of Almighty God
To Make Us Fit For The Service Of The Lord! 

Is Your Bible Working You!?! 

Are You Working Your Bible!?! 

Do You See, Feel
Or Show The Difference That The Living Word Makes
In The Life Of One Committed To The Cause Of Jesus Christ!?! 

Beloved, 

The Holy Word Works
And
It Works Because It Is Sharper Than Any Two-Edged Sword 
And
Does Exactly What The Lord Of Life ... The King Of Love
Sends It To Accomplish! 
Shouldn't We Be Likewise!?!

Please ...

Be Wise Unto Your Own Soul's Salvation
With Godly Fear And Trembling
And
Dare To Let The Word Of Truth Work Mightily In You Today! 


Remember, Remember
Don't Ever Forget ...

Jesus Christ Is The Word!
Jesus Christ Is God!
Jesus Christ Loves You Personally!
Jesus Christ Saves!
Jesus Christ Is Peace!

Peace Be Unto You!

HAPPY SABBATH + Is Praise What You Do!?!


 






Is Praise What You Do!?! 

Or 

Do You Accept The Gifts Of The Creator God 
As Your Personal Due 
And
Dare To Ask ... Even As A Fleeting Thought: 
"Lord, What Took You So Long!?!" 
Or 
"Wow! 
Is This Really The Best That 
You Can Do For Me!?!" 

Ingratitude ... And Greed 
Along With Envy ... And Hatred 
Are Unholy Traits Of Character 
Which Must Be Purged From The Heart 
If 
We Will See Our Lord Jesus In Peace! 

Beloved, 

There Is Nothing Wrong With Wanting Good Gifts 
But 
Everything 
Is 
Wrong 
With Walking Around With The Attitude That 
The Lord ... Or Anybody
Has To Give You Anything 
And 
Everything That Your Heart Desires
Even Though It Is Known That Such A Gift 
Is 
Neither Good Nor Beneficial! 

Let Us Be Wise Enough 
To Be Grateful To Our God 
For What We Do Receive 
From His Holy Hand Of Love 
And 
Blessing 
And
Cease From Insulting Our Maker, God And King 
By Walking Around With The Air Of Entitlement! 

"Thank You!
Bless You!
I Love My Present-Gift! 
You're Wonderful!
I Appreciate You!" 
Is
The Cheapest
Most Expensive
Most Appreciated Gift
That
We Can Give: 
Extravagantly Give It!

The Lord Of Glory Doesn't Owe Us Anything! 
We ... To The Contrary
Owe Our Savior, Sustainer, Provider, Redeemer 
And 
Forever Friend
Absolutely Everything! 
Our Lives Are In His Hands!

Choose To Be Grateful, Thankful ...

Lift Your Heart To Heaven
And 
Praise God ... Just Because 
And Because 
It Is A Blessed Privilege 
And
Thoroughly Good For Us: 
It Is The Lover Of Our Purchased Souls'  Due! 

Beloved,

Get Thee Hence To The Altar Of Praise
And
Give Almighty God ... Father, Son And Holy Spirit ... His Praise:
Put Your Whole Being Into It
And
Be Glad
And
Be Gloriously Blessed ... Again ... And Again!

Are You Saying That You Never Had A Glass!?!






The Great God Of Grace And Glory 
Has Boldly Gifted 
And 
Blessed Us With His Peace 
And 
Covered Us With His Plain Words Of Love, Care 
And 
Caution: 
How Do You Respond To Disappointments, Challenges
Set-Backs, Set-Ups
Sorrows
And 
Shame!?! 

Do You Stop To Evaluate The Situation 
And 
Pray For Peace And Power To Press On 
Or
Do You Lash Out Angrily, Aggressively
Arrogantly, Hostilely And Hatefully 
Or
Do You Say That The World Never Liked You 
And 
Head For The Nearest Exit 
Or 
Do You Suck On Your Thumb
Rock Yourself To Sleep
Say That You Never Had A Glass 
Or Ever Get Anything To Put In A Glass
And 
Try To Kill The Messengers 
Who Are The Lord's Workmen!?! 

Beloved, 

We Who Believe
And 
Trust The Lord Of Life
And 
Obey The Word Of The Holy God 
- Who Loves Us Sacrificially -
Know That We Do Not Walk Alone
And 
Understand That We Have For Our Help 
The God Who Knows All Things
 And
Does What's Best For His Dear Children! 

Please ... 

Let Us Of The Household Of Faith 
Remember Whose Children We Are
Glory In The Fact That He Overcame 
So That We Can Overcome All Things In His Name
And 
Never Forget That Our Home 
- In His Father's House Of Peace And Joy - 
Is 
Just Over The Hill-Top!

Truth ... The Truth ... Cannot Fail Us
So Let Us Rejoice Greatly That
Soon Coming
 Is
Our Promised Relief! 

Hold On To The Blessed Hope: 
Jesus Christ Is Our Only Peace! 
Pray For Peace!

Don't Be A Split Christian!






Hebrews 12:14 Cries: 
"Liar, Liar!" 
To All Who Are Preaching, Teaching 
And 
Living On The Word That Says 
Jesus Christ Died To Save Us 
And 
Gave Us Our Lives To Have Fun 
While Doing Whatever, Whenever, Wherever 
And
 To Whomever We Please! 

A Christian Whose Life ... Whose Character
Is 
A Split Between That Of A Slug, A Leech, A Hornet 
And 
A Shark 
Is 
The Sad Testimony Of Their Not Allowing The Holy Spirit Of Truth 
To Finish The Good Work That Was Started In Them 
When They First Believed! 

The Truth Says That Our Jesus Saves
And 
Cleanses Us From Every Sin
Including The Sins That So Easily Beset
The Sins We Personally Cultivate
And 
The Sins We Inherited By Virtue Of Our Being Born! 

Beloved, 

As Usual
Our Choices Are Only Two: 
No Fence Riding Is Allowed 
Because 
Satan Owns The Fence! 

We Must ... No Maybe
Choose Whom To Believe, Trust, Worship, Praise 
And
Obey! 

We Come To Jesus Christ 
Dirty, Dirty-Minded 
And 
Damned
But 
We Cannot, Can't, Stay That Way 
If
There Is Any Light Of Truth Burning In Our Hearts! 

Calling The Name Of Jesus Is Cool
But 
Living The Life Of Christ Jesus 
Is 
Blessedly Beneficial And Beautiful 
Because 
We See Where We Are Going 
When We Walk In His Living Light 
Which Leads To Eternal Life! 

Let's Dare To Be Brave 
And 
Be Truly Wise To Our Own Soul's Salvation! 
Don't Lie Or Live The Lie
And 
Don't Try To Mock The Lord Of Life: 
Live In Absolute Truth 
And 
Be Infinitely ... And Eternally ... Blessed! 


In This Dark World Of Sin
Lasting Peace
Is
Only Possible
Through Jesus Christ Our Lord!

Attitude Is Everything!







Attitude Is Everything! 
It Determines Our Actions 
And 
Dictates Our Altitude! 

We Can Murmur And Complain 
Or Pray And Plod On! 
We Can Curse The Darkness 
Or Turn To The Light Of Life! 
We Can Embrace Truth 
Or Be Tangled Up With Lies! 

Decisions, Decisions ...

We Have Choices To Make: 
Step Into The Water That Cleanses Us From Sin 
Or Stay In The Desert Of Sin 
And 
Die Of Thirst 
Because 
Walking Against The Driving Sin-Sand Storm 
Is 
Hard 
And 
It Hurts 
And 
It Shows Everybody That You Are Different 
Because 
You Are No Longer Going With The Flow! 

Beloved, 

We Are Soldiers Of The Cross
Children Of The Father
Students In The School Of Jesus
Willing Workers For The King 
And 
We ... In Humility ... In Gratitude For Grace
For The Love That Won't Discard Us 
No Matter How Many Cock-Ups We Have
Must Not Conform To Worldly Norms 
Or Behave Like Step-Children Who Have No Hope Of 
Inheriting The Family Jewels! 

Remember, Remember
Don't Ever Forget ...

There Are No Step-Children
God-Children
Grandchildren
Nor Bastard Children 
In Almighty God's Family! 

You, Me, We, Answered 
And
Are Daily Answering Jesus Christ' Call 
To Our Own Soul's Salvation 
So Let Us Each Dare To 
And 
Live Boldly Like 
The Beloved Child Of The King Of The Universe! 

Down Is Dirt: 
Look Up To Rise Up! 
Boldly Reach For The Son!

Where Our Jesus Christ Is
Is
Our Place Of Peace For Rest!!

HEAVENLY MEANING: Living In Luxury

 


Carnal Minds Say Humble Living Means Being 
Hungry, Thin, Poor ... And Miserable 
And 
Luxurious Living Means Being 
Satisfied, Fat, Rich And ... Happy! 
This Is A Lofty Lie Of The Father Of Lies! 

Strange As It May Seem
But 
In Accordance With The Word Of Truth
Riches Of The Worldly Sort 
Do Not Make For A Peaceful 
Or Even A Happy Existence 
So Let's Not Hunger And Thirst For What Cannot Satisfy! 

But ... You Say
We Need Money To Live! 

And 

The Word Says We Need Almighty God
- The Breath Of Almighty God - 
To Live 
And 
The Grace Of God To Truly Prosper! 

Beloved, 

The Choice Is Easy ... And Hard ... And Easy: 
Humble Yourself Under The Mighty Hand Of God 
And 
He Will Lift You Up 
To Walk On Streets Of Gold 
And 
Wear A Gold Crown ... Every Day 
As Part Of Your Normal Attire! 

The Question 
Is
Will You Humbly Wait For Your Eternal Riches 
Or 
Will You Strive ... Even Against God ... Now
To Get Ungodly Gain 
And 
Live With ... And In 
The Unremitting Sorrows That  Inevitably Come 
To Those Who Know Not The Living God!?! 

Remember ... 

The Sorrows 
And 
Trials That Come To The Obedient
Faithful, Trusting-God
Enduring-All-Things-For-Christ Christian 
Are Allowed By Our Lord Jesus Christ
And 
Are The Means By Which We Are Made Fit To Wear A Crown 
Aka Live Forever 
In His Hallowed Presence: 
The Humble And Holy 
Luxuriate In The Living Light Of The Lamb! 

Brethren, Beloved

Dare To Look For The Hand Of The Eternal God 
In Your Personal Life ... Daily
And 
Learn The Heavenly Meaning Of 
Truly Living In Joy-Filled Luxury! 


Peace And Joy
Are Gifts
From
Jesus Christ The Righteous
Our Loving God
The Lord Of Life!

GOD SPECIALIZES: Fixing Itchy And Scratchy!






Anybody Who Has Had The Novel Experience Of An Itching Ear 
Knows That One Will Go To Any Lengths
Any Extreme
To Soothe That Deliciously Aggravating Itching: 
Match Stick
Q-Tip
Hair Pin
Hair Clip
Pen Tip
Finger Tip: 
Anything That Will Bring The Relief! 

With This Picture Painted
We Can Truly See How Far The Unstable Soul Will Reach 
To Get The  Relief That He Needs For His Spiritual Itchiness
Even To The Point Of "Enjoying" The Doctrines
The False Teachings Of

Beloved, 

Let Us Remember That The God We Willingly Serve 
Is 
The Great Physician
And 
The High Priest
And 
God Almighty
Which Makes Him ... Beyond Any Shadow Of Doubt
Well Able To Fix Itchy And Scratchy! 

The Lord In Zion 
Knows What We Need 
And 
He Has The Desire
And
The Means To Provide It! 

Remember, Remember 
Don't Ever Forget ... 

As Always
The Invitation To Boldly Get To The Throne Of Grace 
Is 
Open: Use It! 

Please Do Not Let Pride 
Cause You To Have To Eat Carrion ... Buzzard Meat
Because 
You Are Own-Way 
And 
Prefer To Walk In Those Popular Brand-Name Shoes Called 
Real Folly! 

Please Dare To Be Wise!
Give All Your Concerns ... Lusts
Your Off-The-Chain Itches To Jesus! 
He Will Heal Your Itching ... Your Uncleanness
From Inside! 
He Specializes! 

Even In The World
Darkened By Our Own Sin
It Is Possible
To Sue For 
And
Be At Peace
With Jesus Christ The Lord!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: PLAIN TRUTH: Weaponized Ambiguity!?!

 





The Word Of The Lord Jesus Who Loves Us
And 
Whose Love We Gladly Return
Is 
Plain Truth ... Our Sure Defence! 
It Is Not Language Rife With Weaponized Ambiguity 
Aka Language Subject To Personal Interpretation
Leading One To Soul Damnation

Our God ... The Living Holy Eternal Faithful God Of Grace
Is 
The God Of Order ... Not Confusion 
And 
All Who Worship Him Through Obedience
Willing Service
Prayer And Praise 
Must Do So According To His Word! 

Our Lord Christ Does Not Mutter Nor Stutter! 

Beloved, 

We Are Living In Perilous Times 
And 
We, Each, Need To Know Personally ... For Our Own Selves
What The Lord Himself 
Is 
Saying To Us! 

This Is Not The Time To Be Lazy Christians 
Or Self-Deceived Readers
Or Drunken Gluttinous Feeders On Filth!
This Is Not The Time To Be Fence-Jockeys
Or Range-Riders! 
Now Is The Time To Be Rooted And Grounded
In Truth For The Age
So Let Us Do Our Due Diligence:
Read Your King James Bible!
Lovingly Turn To 
And 
Prayerfully Meditate On The Given Word
On The Chosen Page! 

Let Us Dare, By Grace, To Expose Our Pet Sins 
And 
Unholy Character Flaws 
To The Clear, Cutting, Living Word Of Almighty God 
And 
Cease Resting Your Soul's Salvation 
On The Corrupt "Free-Pass" Word That Traditionally Comes Of 
"Pastor ... Priest ... Pope ... Said!" 

Be Wary And Be Aware ... 

Beware Of False Shepherds
False Prophets 
And 
BrazenlyWicked Stewards 
Who Work For The Enemy Of Souls
And
Who Intentionally Preach, Teach 
And 
Promote 
And
Live Lives Which Are Contrary To Truth
Aka In Direct Opposition To The Preserved Word Of 
The Unchanging God Of Grace! 

Jesus Christ - The King - Alone
Is Judge Of All Flesh!

Brethren, Beloved 

Buy Aggressively
Love Lustily
Imbibe Greedily
And 
Widely Share The Plain Truth That Points Us To 
And 
Prepares Us To Meet Our Lord Jesus ... In Perfect Peace! 

Peace
With
The Living God 
Is
Precious Gold
Tried In The Fire Seven Times:
Don't Settle For Dirty Dirt!

Or Indulge In Forked-Tongue Expressions! 

We Are Given Promises Upon Which To Build Lives That 
Are Pleasing In The Sight Of The Lord Now ... As He Sees Us
And 
Later ... When We See Him! 

Beloved, 

Righteousness Exalts A Nation! 
We Are A Part Of A Nation 
And 
We Have Responsibilities! 

Righteousness Exalts You
And
Blesses The Lord Christ!


We Are Called To Live Right For Ourselves 
And 
Also To Let Our Lives Be Salt And Light 
To A Lost And Dying World 
Because 
We Represent The King Of Glory! 

Should Not We Who Live By Faith And Prayer 
Exhibit Grace 
And 
Show Mercy To Others 
As A Witness To Those Who All Now 
Need To Hear The Joyful Sound That 
Jesus Christ Cares 
And 
Jesus Christ Saves!?!

Stay Hungry To Reach The Heavenly Home!







No Matter What Is Visibly, Physically
Emotionally
Financially, Spiritually, Testing You, Beloved
Keep Your Eyes, Your Heart 
Your Hands 
And 
Your Hopes 
Firmly Fixed On The Lord Jesus 
Who, Alone, Knows The End From The Beginning 
And 
Is With Us At All Points In Between! 

Remember That Jesus Also Daily Gives Us The Faith 
To Have Faith In Him 
For Each Day That We Live In This Vale Of Tears 
Experiencing The Myriad Things That 
Try Our Purchased, Precious, Souls! 

Never Forget Whose Child You Are! 
Keep Uppermost In Your Thoughts 
The Destination To Which You Are Headed! 
Be Vigilant To Resist The Enemy Of Your Soul 

And

Stay Hungry To Reach The Heavenly Home! 

Remind Yourself That Getting Home 
Is 
Worth Whatever We Must Pay For Our Passage 
And 
Know That That Cost Is Cheap!
 
Almighty God ... In The Person Of Jesus Christ 
Gave His Best ... His All ... To Grant Us This Privilege 
So Let No Created Being
Seen Or Unseen
Known Or Unknown 
Rob You Of The Unspeakable Gift
Eternal Life In The Paradise Of God! 


Think About Going Home: 
Constantly Commune With Christ! 

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

Knowingly Experiencing
The Love Of Jesus Christ
Is
Sweet Peace
For The Longing Heart!

NEED Versus WANT: Christ And Chocolate

 





If We Don't Call Upon The Lord By Praying
He Cannot Answer Us! 

If We Do Not Ask For Forgiveness For Known Sin By Confession 
And
Repentance
The Lord ... God Almighty ... Cannot Forgive Us Our Sins 
And 
Cleanse Us From All Of Our Known Acts Of Unrighteousness! 

The Lord Instructs Us To Ask Of Him 
To Receive From Him: 
Don't Be Proud And Foolish! 

Beloved, 

Today Is The Day Of Salvation 
And
Salvation Is For Us Who Know 
And 
Readily Acknowledge That 
We Are Sinners Needing Saving: 
Never Mix Up Your Needs For Your Wants! 

Know The Right ...

We Need Christ! 
We Want Chocolate! 

We Need Faith And Forgiveness! 
We Want Fame And Fortune! 

We Need To Speak Truth And Exhibit Trust! 
We Want Toys And Trinkets! 

Brethren, Beloved, 

The Lord Desires Us To Come Home To Him
 By Walking In The Light 
And 
Doing The Good 
And  
The Right
Because
It Is Right! 

Let Us, Therefore, Rejoice That Our Jesus Christ 
Is 
King Forever 
And 
Dare To Trust The Living Word 
And 
Fall Upon The Mercy That Is Offered To Us Free 

And 

Bask In The Grace, Freely Given, That 
Is 
Available, Sufficient 
And 
Enough ... Today
For All Of Our Needs! 

Let's Take All That Concerns Us To Our Blessed Lord Jesus
In Heartfelt Prayer
In Faith
For Love 
With Hope:
Remember To Give Him Your Thanks And Praise As Well! 

Peace
Is Not
A Merchantable Commodity!
Peace
Is
The Free Gift
Known Freely-Given To Us
By
Shiloh, The Prince Of Peace
The Light Of The World
The Certain Hope
Of
Every Man, Woman And Child!
