DOWN-PAYMENT ON ETERNITY: There's Not Another Like Christ Jesus!

No Committed Christian Can Say

- With The Straight Face Of Truth - 

"I Am Living For The Here And The Now!" 

Beloved, 

If We Are Living 

With Our Every Hope Pinned On The Unending Acquisition Of 

And 

The Constant Anxiety Over Things Temporal Aka Earthly

Then We Might As Well Be Bold Enough 

To Eject Our Dear Savior From Our Lives 

And

Bluntly Invite Satan And His Demons To Set Up Shop 

And 

Take Up Residence In Our Comfy Chair

Our Warm Bed

And 

The Good Seat At The Head Of Our Dinner Table 

Because

Compromise, Rationalizing

Fault-Finding, Lying

Doubt, Treachery

Misery, Witchcraft, Mayhem

And 

Murder Most Foul

Will Become Our Constant Companions! 

Peace ... Expensively Purchased

Will Do A Powder And Blow Away! 

Rest Will Be Non-Existent! 

Beauty Will Be A Dinner-Box At A Horse Race! 

Truth Will Be A Desert ... No Oasis

And

Dear Faith

Provided For Our Daily, Personal, Use 

Will Be As A Still-Birth! 

Living For Jesus Christ 

Is 

Living By Faith In The Future Fulfillment Of 

Promises Made 

And

With The Gift Of Our Comforter

The Holy Spirit Of Truth

Given, Acknowledged, Appreciated 

And

Utilized As The Guaranteed 

And

Received 

And

Accepted Down-Payment! 

Faith Is Not Eye-Sight 

And

Living Now For Now 

Is 

Calling His Evilness, Good Brother! 

We Don't Want To Do That 

Because

There Is Not Another Savior, Brother

Father, Or Friend To The End 

Like Our Sweet Jesus! 

Peace!
