There Are No Shortcuts To Glory!

Beloved, 

We Are Warned And We Are Encouraged: 

Godly Lives Lived In The Lord Christ 

Call Forth Persecution 

And

Staying The Course With The Lord Christ 

Leads To The Crown Given By The Lord Christ! 

There Are No Shortcuts To Glory! 

We Need To Know The Living God That We Believe In

What It Is That We Are Striving For

The Tricks Of The Trade Of Our Adversary, Satan

And 

The Ways And Methods Of Our Savior-King

Jesus Christ The Lord

Our Great Example! 

Let Us By Grace Through Faith 

Never ... Ever

Seek To Battle Our Known Enemies In Our Own Strength

Using Their Tactics 

And 

Following Their Rules! 

The Lord Jesus Christ

Is

Our Shepherd

Our Refuge

Our Strength!

We Are Christians

Servants Of The Eternal God

Children Blessed 

And 

Diligent Students Of The Living Word! 

Our Enemies Will Be Many 

And 

Their Tactics Truly Evil 

So Let Us ... As Missionaries For The Lord Christ 

Become Humbly Determined

Enduringly Committed

And 

Faithfully Striving For The Prize That 

Is 

The Upward Call 

While Maintaining A Light Hold 

On The Things Of This World! 

Covet No Man's Gold, Silver Or Raiment 

And

Choose ... At All Costs 

To Permit The Holy Spirit Of Truth 

To Teach, Guide 

And 

Chide Aka Correct You 

As You Walk Toward Our Forever Home! 

Truth Wins! 

Peace!
