VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Stop Calling The Living God A Liar!

 

We Need To Stop Calling The Living God A Liar: 

He Is Not A Man! 

One Of The Most Unscriptural  Things That I Came Across Recently 

Was In A Public Prayer 

Where The Person Asked The Lord 

To Forgive Their Confessed 

And 

Unconfessed Sins 

And

Then Made Much Of Having Received Their "Destiny Helper" 

In Their Year Of Grief For A Lost Spouse! 

Beloved, 

Be Wise 

And 

Choose To Walk In The Truth Of Almighty God! 

Unconfessed Sin 

Is 

Sin Unforgiven! 

Forgiveness And Cleansing 

Ride The Steed Called Confessed Sin!  

Mysticism Aka The Destiny Helper 

Has No Place In Jesus Christ's Christianity! 

The Lord Jesus Christ 

Is 

Our Helper! 

The Holy Spirit 

Is 

Our Comforter 

And 

He, As Promised, Will Lead Us Into All Truth! 

By Their Good Influence And Protecting Care

Holy Angels Help Us 

- Who Choose To Accept The Lord's Free Gift Of Salvation -

To Safely Get Home To Our Father's House! 

Dear Ones, 

"Thus Saith The Lord!" 

Means And Makes The Difference Between Life And Death! 

Let's Not Add To Or Subtract From The Word Of God 

And

Let's Stop Making Simple Things Complex And Convoluted 

To Enrich Wicked Men And Seducers 

Who Want Our Money 

For Their Lying Clanging Bells And Tinkling Cymbals! 

Please Let Your Conversation Be In Heaven 

So That You Don't Fall For Lies On Earth! 

Almighty God Is All! 

Peace! 

Forgive Us, Lord

As We Confess And Repent

And

Help Us, I Beseech You

From Walking In The Truth

Never To Relent!

HAPPY SABBATH + Don't Let Satan Turn You Around!

 

In All Things, Give Thanks!?! 

How Does One Give Thanks For Wood Ants In Your Floor 

And Hornets In Your Attic!?! 

How Are We Supposed To Be Thankful For The Problems

Pressures, Parasites, And Plague-Rats In Our Lives!?! 

With Humility! 

Beloved, 

Wanting To Give Thanks Is Not The Issue! 

Being Obedient 

And

Doing The Will Of Almighty God 

Because 

He Asks Us To

Is 

The Command! 

We Are Soldiers Of The Cross! 

We, For Love, And With Willing Hearts

Offer Up Our Highest Worship 

Aka Obedience With Our Highest Praise Aka "Hallelujah!" 

Because 

We Know That He Who Says "Do!" 

Has Already Done 

And

Has Overcome For Us! 

Jesus Christ's Request 

Is 

A Test Of Our Faith ... Which Works By Love

And

Our Trust In Him Which Can Never Be Misplaced! 

Dear Ones, 

We Must Go Through To Come Through 

And

We Must Get Up To Stand Up 

To Go On Up ... To Jesus Christ's Glory! 

Let Us Remember This Day That 

Our Lord Jesus Equips Us 

And

Accompanies Us To Accomplish All That He Asks Of Us! 

Please Let Us Join Together This Day 

And 

Choose To Defeat Satan 

By Thanking Our Savior Who Satisfies Our Souls 

Through All The Changing Scenes And Seasons Of 

This Short But Eventful Life! 

Don't Let Satan Turn You Around! 

May The Lord Jesus Christ

Our Hope For Glory, Satisfy, Save, Sanctify

And 

Seal Us All Who Are Willing!

Peace!

Careless Words Cost!

Careless Words Cost 

And 

Costly Words Cure Us Of Carelessness! 

We Used To Have An Old Expression 

About Paying For Your Mouth 

And If People Used To Have To Go Down To Coleridge Street

At The Court Building

To Pay For Their Often Useless Talk

They Wouldn't Talk Foolishness! 

Beloved, 

There Is Bible For Your Feet In This Matter! 

Our Words Justify Us! 

Our Words Condemn Us! 

The Old Folk 

And 

The School Master And Mistress 

Used To Tell Us Not To Talk Idle! 

Dear Ones, 

Many Of Us Believe That 

The Only Bad Words Are Swear Words 

But

We Should Sincerely Look At Unkind, Careless

Lawless, Crude, And Cruel 

Aka Candy-Coated Venomous Words! 

We May Spend Our Word-Money Carelessly 

And 

Start Using "Words On Credit" 

But 

The Debt-Collector That 

No One Can Turn Around Or Escape From 

Will One Day Be Right At Our Side! 

Have You Counted The Cost Of 

Self-Condemnation And Other-Denigration!?! 

Same Tongue Different Day Hell To Pay 

Stands Up Against 

Same Day Different Tongue Glory To Share! 

The Call Is Yours Alone To Make! 

I Sincerely Pray That 

We Will All Choose To Speak Peace

Share Love

And 

Give God Glory! 

Words Lift Or Lower! 

Choose The Good Portion! 

Peace!

DARKNESS BEFORE DAWN: The Strait Way Struggle!

 

Onward And Upward 

Is 

On The Strait And Narrow Way 

And

We Will Never Reach The Heavenly Home Safely 

If 

We Allow Our Attention From This Path To Stray! 

Beloved, 

There Will Always Be The Way Faster

The Way More Fun

The Way Less Strenuous

And

The Way Where Doing Without Is Just A Song! 

Think! 

If Anyone "Helps" A Butterfly Out Of His Cocoon

He Will Never Fly 

And

He Will Soon Die! 

If A Humming Bird Forgets Who He Is 

And 

Why He Does What He Does

He Will Become The Feast On The Table Of 

The One Who Will Handle Him 

According To What He Shows Himself To Be 

And 

Not By The Reputation For Which He Is Known! 

Dear Ones, 

A Ground-Dove Will Never Rise 

To The Heights Achieved By An Eagle! 

Please Choose To Live In Your Place 

Near To The Heart Of God 

Through The Lord Christ Jesus 

And 

Though Belittled

Denied, Disregarded

And 

Disrespected

Dare To Firmly Hold The Line That 

Leads To Surpassing Glory! 

There Is Always Darkness Before Dawn! 

Jesus Christ Saves: 

Be Strong In The Lord

And

In The Power Of His Might! 

Peace!

LIES NEED SCAFFOLDING: Truth Stands ... Alone!

You, Me, We Have To Love The Truth! 

We Should All Know By Now That 

People Get Punished For Speaking The Truth! 

We Should Also Know That 

Even If The Crud Is Beaten Out Of The Truth

And Its Back Is Shredded Into Ribbons

It's Spat Upon

Its Beard Is Ripped Out

And A Crown Of Thorns Is Driven Into Its Head

And It's Made To Bear Its Own Cross

And It's Pinned To A Tree Reserved For The Cursed 

With Nails Driven Into Its Hands And Feet 

And It's Suspended Between Heaven And Earth

And A Spear Is Driven With Malice Into Its Side 

Causing Innocent Blood And Cleansing Water To Gush Forth

And It Dies 

And Is Wrapped Up And Placed In A Borrowed Tomb 

And Shut Up In Deep Darkness To Be Unseen For A Time

Truth Will Never See Corruption 

And

Will Rise Again 

To Publish Glad Tidings Of 

Peace With Almighty God! 

Lies Are Generated In The Darkness 

And 

Will Never Survive The Light Of Truth! 

Lies Need Scaffolding: 

Truth Stands ... Alone! 

Please Stick To 

And

Stand Up For The Truth! 

The Truth Is Jesus Christ: 

He Is Life And Light! 

Love Him! 

Peace!

Trust The Shepherd Of Rest!

Let Us Not Live Like Bewildered Sheep 

Who Have No Shepherd

Because

We Were Bought At A Great Price 

By The Shepherd Who Is Our Rest

Who Leads Us To Green Pastures

And  

Restores Our Souls! 

Beloved, 

I Beseech Us All 

To Internalize The Ideal That Is Trust 

As Gleaned From The Good Book Of Truth 

From The Lord Of Life 

Who Is The Truth 

And

Dare To Rest Sheltered And Protected

Comforted And Cared For

Blessed And Bettered! 

Let's Be Thoroughly Refreshed 

In The Calm That Comes From The Knowledge That 

Our Creator Is Our Recreator

Our Savior Is Our Sanctifier

Our King Is Kind

And 

The Good Shepherd ... Our Good Shepherd

Is 

Ever Present And Available Always! 

We Are Never Alone!

Our Shepherd, The Lord God Almighty

Is 

He Who Gives Us Time To See And Personally Know Him! 

He Dwells In Eternity And He Never Sleeps! 

He Is Our Peace

And 

We May Sleep Soundly In Peace 

And 

Be Refreshed And Strengthened 

To Be Refined Into Beautiful Jewels For His Crown! 

The Good Shepherd Calls Us:

It Is Our Choice To Answer Him!

If We Don't Stand Firmly By Faith 

On The Foundation Of Trust In The Lord Christ

We May As Well Be As Those Idolaters 

Who Are Worshipping The Man-Made Abominations That 

Cause Jealousy In The Heart Of Our Living Holy God! 

No Idolator Will Ever Enter

The Beautiful City Of God!

You Are Blessed! 

Our God Is Real And Returning! 

Please Dare To Live As One Dearly Loved Of The Good Shepherd

The Lord Jesus Christ! 

Peace!

Tears Are A Language That God Understands!

We Have The Perfect Example Of 

How To Live On This Earth 

In The Person Of Our Blessed Jesus! 

Even Though He Was High And Mighty

Divine And Holy

The King Of Earth And Glory

He Was The Willing

Trustworthy, Caring, Able, Capable

Approachable Servant 

Who Knew His Mission

Who Stuck To The Plan

Who Maintained Constant Contact With His Leader

And 

Was Not Afraid To Touch The Untouchable

And 

Was Undeterred By Dirt! 

He Was A Friend 

To All Who Appreciated Him As Such ... Or Not

And 

He Was Not Influenced By Who Had Stuff And Pedigree 

Or Dismayed By Who Was A Non-Entity Aka A Nobody! 

Jesus Prayed And Pressed On! 

He Knew That Quiet Time With His Father In Heaven 

Was The Key To Success On His Mission! 

Jesus Knew That The Living Word From On High Spoke Life 

And 

Imparted Vigor, Strength 

And 

Incentive To Accomplish The Mission! 

Beloved, 

Think On These Things 

And 

Remember That We Are Not Better Than Our Master

Jesus Christ The Lord! 

We Have A Work To Do 

And

A Destination To Get To! 

We Have An "Employee" Aka Servant Review To Pass 

So That We Will Keep Our Pick 

So That We Will Remain On Track For Promotion 

To The City Of God! 

Remember, Remember

Don't Ever Forget ... 

Paychecks Aka Rewards Are Determined By Performance: 

Let Your Gift Of Daily Faith Work For You 

As You Choose To Willingly Work For The Lord!

 Tears Are A Language That God Understands! 

Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: PRAY FOR SOMEONE: Correction Is Better Than Rejection!

If We Do Not Correct Our Children

They Will Corrupt Themselves! 

If We Do Not Pray For Our Children

They Will Be Prey For Someone Else! 

Beloved, 

Prayer And Correction Go Hand In Hand: 

We Receive This Good Teaching From Jesus Christ The Lord!

Refusal Of Correction Is The Philosophy Of Satan The God-Fraud!  

Our Father Is In Heaven And His Way For Us Is Clear! 

He Teaches Us The Way To Go 

And He Gently Corrects Us When We Go Astray! 

Dear Ones, 

When You Have Done The Thing Foolish

Let Your Repentance Be Swift! 

Forgiveness Is Only By The Lord Given 

And It Is The Blessed-Forever Gift! 

God's Forgiveness Cannot Be Bought Or Bartered

And We Cannot Play With It 

Because It Is Never Casually Bestowed! 

Correction Is Never Pleasant 

But It Is A Necessity 

And It Will Be Humbly Accepted And Followed 

By All Who Desire To Enter The Eternal City! 

We Are Called To Pray Without Ceasing

To Humbly Repair To Prayer

To Spend Time In Sweet Communion 

With Him Who Does Our Every Burden Bear! 

We Are All Children Of Someone

Be It By Blood, By Faith, By Affection, Or By Adoption

And That Means That You Are Loved By Someone 

Who Desires Your Blessing And Entrance Into The Courts Above! 

Correction Cures! 

Praying In Faith By Following The Word

Makes Our Motives Pure

So Do Not Permit Lack Of Correction

Into Bold Sin Our Children Lure! 

Pray For Someone!

I Am Praying For You! 

Peace!

Correction

Is

Better Than Rejection!

HAPPY SABBATH + Eternal Implications!

There Are Only Two Concepts That 

Have Eternal Implications For All Mankind! 

These Are Good And Evil 

Aka Salvation And Sin! 

There Are Only Two Leaders: 

The Savior

Aka Our Creator, Redeemer, And Forever Friend

And

Satan The Damned

Aka Our Adversary ... The Destroyer! 

Beloved, 

Sin Comes From Satan 

And

Is Against Us 

And

Will Negatively Impact And Destroy Us 

If

We Do Not Diligently Seek Our Savior Who Is For Us 

And 

Will Cleanse And Purify Us Of Every Sin Aka Defilement! 

Satan Rabidly Encourages People 

To Build Their Own Cities Which Cannot Flourish 

Since They Lack A Food Supply

A Water Supply

A System Of Defence

And 

A No-Toll Road! 

Sin Always Costs!

Jesus Christ Invites Us To Himself As 

He Is 

The Bread Of Life

The Water Of Life

The Rock Of Refuge

Our Strong Tower Aka Our Defence

And 

The Sure Road 

Aka The Only Way To The Eternal City Of The Living, Holy, God! 

Let's Learn The Lesson Taught By Nimrod, The Mighty Hunter

And 

That Abomination Built On 

The Foundation Of Disobedience And Putrid Pride

The Tower Of Babel Aka Confusion!

Going Against The King Of Glory

The Lord Of Life

Is 

Making Yourself A Tasty Treat For King Fraud! 

Be Wise: 

Do Not Let Ungodly Desire 

Become Your Ultimate Destruction! 

Peace!

Choose To Eat Grass From The Lord Of Life!

When You Are Doing Something Good And Right 

In The Sight Of The Living God

You May Rest Assured That The Lying Leaping Lizards

The Hissing Snakes

The Flaming Arrows

The Sticky Stinky Tar Balls

And 

The Ever-Hungry Vultures Are Going To Be Abroad

On The Wing

And 

In Your Face! 

Praise The True And Living God! 

Beloved, 

When People Who Believe That 

They Should Be Sun, Moon, And Stars In Your Eyes 

Cannot Manipulate You 

And 

Bend You To Their Dank, Depraved, And Devilish Will

Dare To Expect Their Toothed And Edged Weapons 

To Be Boldly Unsheathed! 

Dear Ones, 

Our Lord Christ 

Is 

The Only Trustworthy Constant In Our Lives! 

He Is Not Capricious 

And

He Is To Be Trusted Always! 

Embrace The Gifted Favor Of The Lord 

And

Eschew The Friendship Of The World! 

Do Not Allow Yourself To Be Deceived! 

Committed-To-Christ Christians Should Always Be Able To Say: 

"I Choose To Eat Grass From The Lord Of Life 

Than To Feast On The Damned Devil's Dainties!" 

Do Not Be Unstable Like Water Which Finds Its Own Level! 

Stand Firm On Faith! 

Let's Walk Our Godly Talk

And 

Live Out Our Heavenly Love For Our Blessed Jesus Today! 

Let No One Encourage You To Sin! 

Peace!  

The Purge!

I Don't Know About You

But 

I Distinctly Remember That "Abomination" Called The Purge That 

We Had To Endure Every Sunday Morning

At The Beginning Of The School Term

And 

Coming Off School For Vacation 

And

May The Good Lord Help You 

If 

You Were "Foolish" Enough To Utter Those "Damning" Words: 

"My Belly Hurting Me!" 

Some Families Dished Out A Spoonful Of 

Shark Oil And A Quarter Of An Orange! 

My Family Dished Out Castor Oil And The Orange! 

A Leather Belt Was On The Table To Motivate Me To Cooperate: 

I Roundly Despised Castor Oil!

Strangely Enough Though

After That Disaster Called The Purge Aka The Cleansing

You No Longer Felt Like An Old Hard-Mout' Goat 

But 

Had The Joy And Energy Of A Young Spring Lamb! 

Oh, The Ode To Joy! 

Beloved, 

The Purge Is Needed 

To Get Rid Of What Hurts, Harms, And Hinders! 

The Purge Is Necessary For Physical, Spiritual

And 

Emotional Health And Well-Being! 

If We Are Not Purged Of Our Sins, Our Dead Works, Here

We Will Never Enter The Joy Of The Lord Over There! 

Sin Is Waste 

So Let's Take The Good Word That Purges Aka Cleans Us 

And 

Let The Waste, The Sin

Go Out In The Draught! 

The Pain Is Temporary 

But

Pleasure Aka Joy And Peace In Paradise Are Forever! 

Let Jesus Christ Be Praised! 

Peace!

The Crisp Cross-Hairs Of Calamity!

KJV Proverbs 10:22

22 The blessing of the LORD, it maketh rich, and he addeth no sorrow with it.

There Is This "Strange" Phenomenon 

Where A Person's Blessing 

Becomes Their Very Own Curse! 

How Is This Possible!?! 

Beloved, 

The State Of Being Is Progressive 

And

There Is That "Nasty" Little Issue That 

Revolves Around Conjugating The Verb To Be! 

First, Last And Always 

Is 

The Fact That The Only "I AM!" Worth Talking About 

Is 

The Living God! 

When We Take Our Blessing 

And 

Corrupt Ourselves By Asking 

"Don't You Know Who I Am!?!" Because We Have Got Stuff 

While "Forgetting" That The Lord Giveth And The Lord Taketh Away

We Put Ourselves In The Crisp Cross-Hairs Of Calamity! 

Dear Ones, 

Our Job Is To Worship The Giver, Not The Gift Aka The Blessing!

Forgetting, Ignoring, Dismissing This Truth 

Makes Us Idolaters 

And

Unrepentant

We Will Receive The Idolaters Progressive Share 

Aka Correction, Chastisement, Condemnation

And Finally

Sure Damnation! 

We Are Because He, Jesus Christ, Is ... The Great I AM! 

Role Reversal Is Disallowed 

So Please Don't Get A Big Head! 

The Lord Is Eternal: 

He Inhabits Eternity! 

We Are Temporal: 

We Dwell In Time! 

Please Choose To Always Bless The Lord: 

Keep Your Priorities In Order 

And 

Remember That His Blessings Bring No Sorrow! 

Put Jesus Christ First! 

Peace!

YOLO Is A Rabbit-Hole To Sure Destruction!

If We Would Choose To See 

And

Recognize Our Value 

Through The Eyes Of The Living God

We Would Never Use The Expression 

YOLO Aka "You Only Live Once!" 

To Encourage Ourselves And Others 

To Live In The Realm Of Sense And Self 

Which Is The Rabbit-Hole To Sure Destruction! 

Look At Lucifer The Light-Bearer: 

Behold Satan, The Adversary ... The Damned! 

Beloved, 

Living For Self And By Sense 

Is 

To Live The Life Of A Drug Addict 

Who Must Get A Fix Of More And Stronger 

To Attain Minimal Satisfaction! 

Drug Use Starts Cheap To Get You Hooked 

And 

Then Costs Everything Up To And Including One's Liberty 

And 

Life! 

Dear Ones, 

There's A Better Way: 

A Life Lived In And For Jesus Christ

A Life Lived On The Upward Way That Leads To Beulah Land 

Where One Lives Eternally! 

To Get There

Change Must Start Here! 

We Must Discard The Old Man, That Sinful Self

And 

We Must Put On Christ

Our Creator Who Made And Remakes Us

Our Savior Who Died So That We, Willing, May Live Again

And 

Our Redeemer Who Bought Us Back From Sure Damnation 

And

Invites Us To Embrace Sure Salvation! 

What A Gift! 

We Have Today ... A Present! 

Unwrap Your Gift! 

It's Priceless! 

Peace!

Recall To Mind!

Remember, Remember, Don't Ever Your Faith Regret

The Lord  Christ Will Never A Faithful Child Forget! 

He Doesn't Forget The Good! 

He Doesn't Forget The Bad! 

Do Good And Good Will Attend You

And 

Over Your Trials Be Glad!

All Things Work For Our Good! 

Jesus Christ Shed Innocent Blood

When On Calvary's Cross He Unwaveringly Stood

So That Satan By Your Worked Faith

Could Be Valiantly Withstood! 

Okay, Class! 

Let's Recap: 

Jesus Saves! 

Mercy Is Free! 

Grace Is Sufficient! 

Don't Fret About Evil-Doers! 

Faith Cannot Fail! 

Hallelujah Is The Highest Praise! 

Obedience Is The Highest Form Of Worship! 

Blessings Await The Faithful! 

Prayer Raises Us Up To God! 

Salvation Came Down! 

Justification Is Instantaneous! 

Sanctification Lasts A Lifetime! 

Sin Is A Reproach To All People! 

Blessed Are The Pure In Heart!

From The Workers Of Iniquity Choose To Depart! 

Wait, Work, Watch: 

Don't Wonder After The Beast!

We Have An Invitation

To Enjoy Jesus Christ's Welcome Home Feast! 

Perfect Peace Is The Gift Of God! 

God Is Our Refuge And Strength! 

The Heavens Declare God's Glory! 

The Good Book Tells The Good News Gospel Story!

Doubters Deny!

Evil Men And Seducers  Will Not To Glory Fly! 

Don't Tempt God! 

There Is No License For Sin! 

Guard Your Heart! 

No Man Can Tame The Tongue! 

There Is No Reason For, Nor Profit In, Pride! 

Grave-Diggers Serve  Grave-Diggers! 

Satan Can't Force You To Sin! 

The Lord Won't Force You To Not Sin! 

Lust Is A Lie Wrapped In A Sinful Desire That Deals Death! 

Beloved, 

The Word Of God Aka The Love Of God 

Works Wonders For The Wise! 

Be Wise! 

Be Humble! 

Be Bold! 

Be Blessed And Be A Blessing! 

Believe The Truth And Love In Deed And In Truth! 

And

Be Confident In Christ! 

In This Is Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: The Voice Of The Martyr Stephen!

The Life Of Stephen 

- The First Martyr For The Faith Of Jesus Christ - 

Should Inspire Everyone Of Us Who Trusts In The Lord 

For Our Eternal Salvation! 

Beloved, 

Stephen's Life Accused Those Who Knew Not The Lord 

And

He Was Hated For It! 

Stephen's Ways Pleased The Lord 

And

The Lord Blessed Him With The Heavenly Vision 

As His Days' End Visibly Approached! 

Dear Ones, 

In The Earthly Court

As Long As The Judge Is Seated

Both Accuser And Defendant Have Opportunity To Speak 

But

When The Judge Stands Up

Judgment Has Been Rendered 

And

The Case Is Over! 

Stephen Saw Jesus Christ Standing At The Right Hand Of God 

And 

He Went To His Long-Sleep Knowing That 

The Lord, The Judge Of All Flesh

Had Rendered Judgment Against Wicked Men 

And 

In His Favor! 

Dear Ones, 

Hold On To Your Blessed Hope In The Lord! 

The Wicked May Escape Justice On Earth 

But 

They Cannot Escape The Court Of Heaven! 

Please Dare To Live Your Life 

With Heaven Ever Always In Your View! 

In The Name Of Jesus

Pray And Please Almighty God 

And 

He Will Surely Bless You To All Pleasing! 

Peace!
