VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Whatever You Want, Satan Will Promise!

Satan And Sin Are One! 

Faith And Trust Are One

And

Obedience And Endurance Are One! 

Sin Leads To Sorrow Aka Grief Which 

Is 

The Strong Arm Of Discipline! 

With This In Mind, Beloved

Let Us Respond To The Statement: 

"Whatever You Want

Satan Will Promise!" 

First, Satan Can't Promise You Anything 

If 

You're Not Playing Pat-A-Cake Or Footsy With Him! 

Secondly, By God's Grace

Christians Should Be Too Wise To Be Foolish 

Where Satan Is Concerned 

When The Lord, In Mercy

Taught Us About The Wiles Of That Devil! 

Thirdly, Growing In Grace 

Has Its Own Sorrow, Its Own Griefs

So Why Would Committed Christians Seek Out 

What Can't Raise Us Up To Glory!?! 

Dear Ones, 

The Elders Used To Tell Us:

"See With Your Eyes But Don't Touch!" 

Regarding What Could Cause Us Harm! 

The Good Book Tells Us That 

Only With Our Eyes Shall We Behold 

The Destruction Of The Wicked, Sinful, Unrepentant Ones! 

Why, Then, Would You Want Something From Someone 

Who Is Going Somewhere Decidedly Unpleasant!?! 

Let Us Stay On The Path Of Purity 

Where The Refiner's Fire 

Is 

Getting Rid Of The Rust Of Ruin 

And 

The Dust Of Desolation! 

Satan Can't Give You What He Doesn't Have 

So Don't Cast Your Pearls Before Swine! 

The Promises Of The Living God Are Sure 

Aka "Yea!" And "Amen!" 

Count The Costs 

And 

Let Godly Sorrow Be Your Grace Today! 

Peace!
