Know The Way And Employ The Meek And Gentle Spirit!

Jesus Christ The Righteous

Our Only Savior, Redeemer, Friend

King, Lord, And Holy God

Told Us That Our Love For And Obedience To His Will 

To Walk In His Perfect Way 

Would Incur For Us The Malice, Hatred, And Wrath Of 

The Worldly-Wise Unmoved By The Holy Spirit's Call 

To Free-To-All Salvation! 

Our Lord Also Told Us Not To Be Dismayed 

Because 

He, Himself ... Divinity Clothed In Humanity 

And 

Walking In Humility

Had Overcome The World For Us! 

Beloved, 

We Will Be Called To Endure As Jesus Christ Endured

And 

We Will Be Equipped To Endure And Overcome 

As He Endured And Overcame The Malice, Cruelty

Unkindness, Torment, Torture

Deprivation, Denial, Dismissal, Disrespect

And 

Denigration Of The Masses 

By Employing The Meek And Gentle Spirit 

- Against Which There Is No Law -

Praying To The Father Without Ceasing

Working Whilst It Was Yet Day

Walking In The Will And Way Of The Father Of The Faithful

And 

Unwavering Obedience Unto Death! 

Dear Ones, 

Jesus Christ's Mission To Mankind For Mankind's Blessing 

Was Successful 

Because 

He Knew The Plan

Stuck To The Plan

And 

Worked The Steps Of The Plan 

Because 

The Foundation Upon Which He Walked 

Stood Sure And Secure On The Ancient Of Days! 

Do You Know Of

Remember Why

Recognize That

Walk Wisely In

Work Diligently On

And 

Watch Untiringly For The Plan's Unfolding 

While Being Readied For Your Part In Its Finishing!?! 

Let's Repair To Prayer 

And 

Let The Good Book Be Our Guide! 

Look Up! 

Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH : There Is An Elevator In Endurance!

There Is No Point To Pride

No Satisfaction In Sin

And 

Nothing Graceful About Greed! 

There Is A Mattress In Mercy

And 

A Pillow In Peace! 

There Is An Object In Obedience

And 

An Elevator in Endurance! 

There Is A Push In Perseverance

Amazing Love In Following The Lord

And 

Worth In Walking Wisely! 

There Is Power That Comes 

From Praising Him Who Calls Us To His Side

And 

We Are Blessed Beyond All Measuring 

When We Walk In The Way That 

Leads To His Eternal Life! 

There Is A Train In Truth 

So Get On Board To Avoid Damnation's Gloriless Horde! 

Dear Ones, 

The Lord Jesus Saves Us One By One 

So Do Not Follow The Loud-Mouthed 

So-Called Powerful 

Known Wayward, Winsome, Wicked, And Wild 

Just Because You Want Things! 

The Loud-Mouthed Will Have Nothing To Say

And 

The Powerful Will Be Powerless 

In The Wondrous Presence Of Our Glorious King

Jesus Christ The Lord! 

Choose Wisely: 

Early, And In Earnest, Seek The Savior! 

Peace! 

HAPPY SABBATH + GRATITUDE: Let Your Tongue Be A Ready Writer!

 

How Often Have We ... In The Euphoria Of Blessings Received

Chosen To Do A Show And Tell Of The Things We Have Gotten 

And 

Have Totally Forgotten

Ignored, Disregarded, Or Dismissed 

The Grace, Mercy, Love

And 

Kindness Of The Giver Of All Our Good Gifts!?! 

Where Is Our Gratitude!?! 

Do We Not Realize That If Our God Took Offense 

At Our Graceless Oversights, And Downright Devilish 

"I Deserve This!" Attitude, That 

He Could Take Away Our Pride And Joy 

And 

Leave Us Useless, Homeless, Penniless

And 

Powerless For Our Boldly Base Behavior!?! 

One Leper Out Of Ten 

Knew And Truly Understood Where His Blessing Came From 

And 

Turned Back To The Master To Give Him

To Give Almighty God

Real Praise! 

Good King Hezekiah

After He Was Raised Up From His For-Sure Death-Bed

Instead Of Telling The Babylonian Strangers 

Inquiring About His Blessings That 

It Was The True And Living Holy God 

Who Blessed And Kept Him And His Nation

He Showed Them His Things! 

After They Left To Return To Their Nation

The Sentence Came From God

- Through The Prophet Isaiah - 

That All That The Babylonians Had Seen 

Would Follow Them To Their Homeland! 

Dear Ones, 

Be Wise! 

The Lord Of Life Giveth 

And 

The Lord Calling Us Home To Himself Taketh Away 

So Let A Thankful Heart Keep Your Bountiful Blessings On You 

And 

In Your Home! 

Give Almighty God His Owed ... And Deserved ...  Praise: 

Let Your Tongue Be A Ready Writer! 

Peace!

Sin ... The Gussied-Up Porker

Sin Is Criminal 

But It Is Not Justifiable ... In The Eyes Of Almighty God! 

Sin Can Be Accidental 

But It Is In Our Best Interests 

To Decidedly Consider Its Embrace To Be Suicidal! 

Beloved, 

No Christian Truly Trusting The Faithful Holy One

Will Ever Consider The Journey To Jesus And Joy 

To Be A Suicide Mission

A Mission Of No Return

And 

Deftly Decide To Have A Last Ditch Hurrah Blithely Sinning!

To Do Such Would Be To Give The Devil 

His Dastardly And Destructive Desire: 

We Can't Afford The Fall-Out 

For The Dues Are Usurious! 

Dear Ones, 

No Matter How Many Times You Wash A Porker

No Matter How Expensive The Pearls

Or How Rare The Perfume

A Gussied-Up Porker 

Will Always Be A Wallow In The Mud Besmirched Hog!

If We Do Not See Sin Through The Eyes Of Our Savior

Sin Will Always Be Enticing

Worth Following

Worth Excusing

And 

Worth Our Wholehearted Participation! 

Let Us, Instead, Look To Jesus Christ

The Author And Finisher Of Our Faith 

Who Died To Rid Us Of Sin

And Ever Lives To Have Us 

- Cleansed And Forgiven - 

Ride Home To Be With Him! 

Let's See Sin 

And

Walk On By On The Other Side Of The Road 

To Stand Where Salvation Is Stationed 

And 

Tenderly Calling To Us! 

Please Pray For Power ... And Press On To Glory! 

Jesus Saves Us From Sin: 

Walk In Accord With Him! 

Peace!

Walk, Work, And Watch In Obedience!

The To-Christ Order Of Operations: 

What To Do First! 

Do We Behave And Then Believe, Or Vice Versa!?! 

Our Holy Bible Tells Us That 

All Who Come To God Must Believe That 

He Is God And A Rewarder Of Those Who Diligently Seek Him! 

Simply Put:

"If We: Then He!" 

Put Another Way

If We Confess Our Sins

Then He Is Faithful And Just To Forgive Us Our Sins 

And

To Cleanse Us From All Unrighteousness! 

Dear Ones, 

On Your First Day At Your New Job That 

You Chose 

And

Was Accepted For

You Do Not Receive Your Future To-Be-Regular Paycheck 

Plus Overtime

And Bonus

And Travel And Entertainment Allowance! 

Only Performance Pays Off! 

Our Savior Dear Is Able To Say "If We" 

Because 

He Already Did The Necessary To Grant Us Free 

And 

Open Access To The Throne Of Grace

So We Must Know Who We Are Without Christ: Sinners Damned

Who We Are In Christ: Sinners Saved Aka Saints Of God And Christ

And 

The Requirements 

To Be Able To Wear The White Robe Of His Righteousness! 

In Order To Have ACR-A Clean Record Next To Our Name

We Must Accept The Offered Gift Of Salvation

Confess Our Known Sin

Repent Of The Evil

And 

Walk, Work, And Watch In Obedience! 

The Humility Of Worked Faith Keeps Us On The Way! 

Overcomers Are Faith-Working Believers! 

Never Forget It! 

Peace!

There Is No Oliver Twist Seated At The Table Of The Lord!

Nobody Seated At The Lord's Table 

Will Ever Have To Do An Oliver Twist 

And 

With Hunger Pangs

In The Shocked Hearing Of 

The Assembled Multitudes Of Likewise Famished, Ask: 

"Please, May I Have Some More!?!" 

Beloved, 

Our Blessed Benefactor With No Equal

Who Owns The Cattle On A Thousand Hills 

And 

Every Last Thing In All Creation

Has No Need To Issue Short Rations To Save Costs 

And

At The Same Time 

Line His Deep Pockets By Fraud! 

Dear Ones, 

Use Your Access 

And 

Your Humble Words Of Hope, Trust, And Faith! 

Boldly Ask "Bigly" For Your Blessings Known Bountiful! 

Just Remember, Though, That 

You Can't Ask The Lord For What Won't Bless You 

And

Glorify His Dear Name! 

Check The Living Word Which Is A Transcript Of 

The Holy God's Unchanging, Unchangeable, Character! 

The Word Works! 

Peace!

DOUBT DESTROYS: Look Up To Jesus Christ With Hope ... And Live!

We Love To Sing "All The Way My Savior Leads Me!" 

But

In The Midst Of Daily Trial And Constant Temptation

Necessary Test And Internal Torment 

We Suddenly Forget Who Is The One We Call Savior

And 

The Prophesied And Blood-Promised Destination 

To Which We Are Being Led! 

Beloved, 

Satan The Adversary Is The Liar: 

Jesus Christ Our Savior, Our Creator

The Holy God

The Only Wise God

Is 

The Truth! 

We, Even When We Have Been Unfaithful To The Faithful One

And 

Have Gone A-Whoring After 

The Truthless And Useless Things Of This Life

Have Abundantly Seen The Providences

The Wonderful Provision And Saving Graces Of 

Our Blessed Jesus! 

This Present Time, Dear Ones

Is 

Not The Time To Become Faint-Hearted

Denying

And 

Doubtful About The Goodness Of Our God! 

I Pray That We Will Stand With The Brave 

Knowing Jesus 

And 

Telling The World That It Is He, Alone

Who Always Saves! 

Doubt Destroys! 

Look Up To Jesus With Hope ... And Live!

What Looks Good On The Devil's Rack ...!

 

At The Blessed Storehouse Of The Ages 

Owned And Operated 

Maintained And Sustained By Jesus Cares

Cost-You-Less And More-For-Less 

Are Not Labels Accepted Or Displayed Among 

What Are Known As  Great Goods For One Solitary Reason: 

Satan Is The Manufacturer

His "Dummy" Corporation Is Called Sin

And 

Destruction Is His To-Die-For Brand! 

Dear Ones, 

Sin Does Not Give Second Chances: 

Salvation Does! 

The Way Out Of Sin 

Is

Through The Door Called Faith Works

And 

It Is Those Who Choose To Walk Simply

Kindly, Justly, Obediently, And Enduringly 

Who Will, By Free Grace, Turn The Handle Called 

Available Mercy

And 

Walk On Through The Door To Eternal Life! 

Please, I Beseech Us All

Let Us Remember Today That 

What Looks Good On The Devil's Rack 

Does Not Look Good ... Or Wear Well

On Your Christ-Died-For-You Back! 

Jesus Cares Is Good For You Now And For Always! 

Live For The Life-Giver: 

Know Your Value In Christ Jesus! 

Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Converging Or Diverging!?! + PRAYER: Please Help Us To Pray Always!

 

Are You A Diverging From 

Or A Converging With The World Christian 

Aka Are You Different From The Worldly-Wise 

Or Are You As The Worldly-Wise!?! 

Dear Ones, 

If You Were In "The Line-Up" 

Would Anybody Say In Your Regard, As A Swear-Word: 

"This Person Is Not Like The Others!" 

Are You Standing Apart, Walking, Talking, Dressing, Behaving

As One Belonging To The Master Of The Wind 

Or As One Who Is Being Mastered By The Changing Winds Of 

This God-Forsaking World!?! 

The Lord Jesus Knows! 

Do You!?! 

Do I!?! 

Let's Seriously Think About It 

Because 

Our Being Possessors Of The Eternity Of Peace 

Depends Upon Our Answer! 

Peace! 

Prayer:

Heavenly Father,

We Come As Children Of Faith

And

With Pitiful Cry Ask You To Help Us

To Obediently, Enduringingly, Follow

The Living, Holy, Word Of Saving Truth

So That We May Know Of A Surety

Our Eternal Standing 

In Jesus Christ Our Glorious Lord!

Please Help Us To Pray Always

And

Not Faint At The Barbs

And

Threatenings Of The Evil One

But To Standing As The Faithful

Rooted And Grounded

Sheltered And Protected

Unmoved And Unafraid

Because

We Know That Our God Is Real And Returning

And

His Promises To Us Ever Sure

And

Only Require Our "Yes, Lord!" And "AMEN!"

In Jesus Christ's Holy Name

We Humbly Pray And Plead!

AMEN.

HAPPY SABBATH + Let The Lord Lead You With His Love!

Beloved, 

How Well Are You Able To Handle Disappointment 

Or, More Particularly

Are You Able To Handle Disappointment!?! 

We Live In A Fast-Paced World 

Which Accepts Neither Denial, Disappointment

Disapproval, Nor Deprivation 

And Yet

As Committed To Christ Christians

We Must Be Able To Accept All These With Grace 

Because 

Our Heavenly Father Always Knows Best 

And

Ever Does Right For And By Us! 

Let's Let Him Lead Us Today 

Because 

It Is Done With Abiding Love Which Does Not Suffer Loss! 

Peace!

PRAYER: Help, Me Lord, To Live So That I Let Nothing Be Wasted!

PRAYER:

Father, 

With The Heart Of A Grateful Penitent

I Give You Thanks And Praise For All Your Blessings 

- Seen And Unseen, Known And Unknown

Unexpected, And Unacknowledged - 

Lavishly Bestowed Upon Me This Day 

And, For Sure

Every Day Of My Life! 

I Love You, Lord

And

It Is Not Just For The Bread And Two Fishes That 

In Your Hand Will Always Feed The Multitude 

And

Leave Behind Food For Many More! 

Please Help Me To Live With The Mindset That 

Nothing Should Be Wasted

And

A Heart Filled With Compassion For Others

An

Hands Ready To Share To Others 

Out Of The Bounty That You Generously Provide To Me! 

Father, I May Not Always Like The Way That Life Goes

But

I Ask You To Help Me To Ever Remember That

If I Knew What You Know

I Would Wish To Be Led, Fed, Directed And Corrected

As You Ordain! 

Please Help Me To Never Embrace Pride

And

The Top-Lofty Spirit

Which Causes Us To Act As Though You Owe Us Something 

And

We Are Entitled To All That We Receive

And

More Beside! 

Please Help Me To Never Forget That

I Owe All That I Am And All That I Have

To Your Willing Sacrifice And Unending Love

In The Person Of Jesus Christ My Lord! 

Please Pour Out Of Your Spirit Upon Me

And

Bless Me To Follow My Shepherd

The Good Shepherd

To Your Haven Of Rest For The Eternally Blessed! 

AMEN! 

There Is Mileage In Exercising God-Guided Sense!

Even On This Very Day

The Drama Of The Garden Of Eden 

Is

Still Being Aggressively Played Out! 

The Lord Said: 

"Don't Do!" 

Satan Said: 

"Do You!" 

You Say: 

"I Have The Right To Do As I Please

Because It Gives Me The Feels!" 

When You Have Done As You Darn-Well Please

And

Your Feels Gets Felt As Self-Condemnation

Godly Rebuke

And 

The Hold Yuh Belly Skin-Burn

And

The Longing For The Good Olde Days Stomach-Churn

Suddenly The Lord Of Life Becomes Responsible 

For Not Forcibly Stopping You From Indulging 

In Disrespectful Disobedience And Ignoble Idolatry 

As Promulgated By That Spectre Of The Snake-Hiss Class 

Who Devilishly Desires Companions In The Corrupt-Yourself Cast 

Destined For Damnation's Destruction! 

Dear Ones, 

Honor Your Master-Maker By Making His Mission Your Meal! 

Accept That Almighty God's Word 

Is

The Eternal God's Love Personified 

And

Our Re-Orienting The Letters In "NO!" 

Will Never Cause Them To Mean "Game: ON!" 

In The Infinite Sight Of The Glorious God 

And

Force Him To Bless 

What He Has Commanded To Be Constructively Cursed! 

Satan's Poison Will Never Change Its Nature 

And

Neither Will The Blessings Or Curses Of The Holy God! 

Please Let Us Remember This Day, Dear Ones

That There Is Nothing Profitable In Employing Sin 

To Manufacture Your Need To Be Felt Sensation! 

There Is Mileage In Exercising God-Guided Sense! 

Our Savior Sees! 

Peace!

Strobe Lights In The Darkness!

In The Field Called Earth

There Are Two Camps, Namely

Camp Sin Run By The Adversary Of Souls, Satan The Damned

And

Camp Salvation Run By The Savior Of Souls

Jesus Christ The King

The Hope Of Every Man! 

Everybody Entering The Field Called Earth

Is 

Born Into Camp Sin And Is By Nature Known To Be 

And

Is Called A Sinner! 

Nobody Has To Stay A Sinner 

Because 

With Birth Came Free-Will And Freedom To Choose 

And 

The Right To Decamp Camp Sin 

And 

Encamp With Camp Salvation 

Through The Gift Of Faith

Which Blesses One With The Unforced Opportunity 

To Became A Saint Of God And Christ 

As All In Camp Salvation Are Called! 

Beloved, 

Remember The Garden Of Eden! 

There Is An Undercover Lover Who ... Hates You! 

In Camp Sin

Everything Is On The Down-Low 

While Appearing To Be On The Up 'n Up High! 

Everything In Camp Salvation 

Is 

In The Open, On Display

And 

Available To Be Known 

Because 

It Is For Your Salvation! 

The Way Of Camp Sin 

Is 

Subterfuge Aka Deceit

Smoke And Mirrors

Strobe Lights In Darkness

And 

The Diet That Double-Destroys! 

The Way Of Camp Salvation 

Is 

Truth And Right-Doing

Light, Beauty

Clean Water And Untainted Air

Teaching That Feeds

Feeding That Heals

And 

Healing That Leads To Sealing! 

Neither Camp May Force Enlistment 

But 

Each Camp May Enlist Camp-Changers! 

Dear Ones, 

Satan Is Your Enemy: 

Choose You This Day Whom You Will Serve: 

Jesus Christ Knows Your Name And Your Frame! 

Peace! 

Love Provides A Harvest!

Beloved, 

Never Ever Be Ashamed, Afraid, Or Adverse 

Towards Telling Those Whom Love And Care For, Or About

That You Love And Care For And About Them! 

Dear Ones, 

However Many Times We Must Touch Upon The Subject

Let Us Never Fear To Remind Ourselves That

Taking Up Residence In The Land Of Regret 

For Something That Could And Should Have Been Avoided 

Is

For Something That Can And Should Be Avoided By Us 

At All Costs! 

Dear Ones, 

Pride, That Putrid-Colored, Vile To Embrace Emotion

Has Caused More Wars

Destroyed More Homes And Relationships

And 

Separated Many Brethren From The Love Of God 

Than We May Ever Know, Understand, Accept, Or Believe! 

Let Us Today Remember That 

It Is Easy To Avoid The Big Elephant Coming Toward Us 

But 

Awfully Hard To Avoid An Ant, A Mosquito, A Louse, And A Tick 

Whose Presence Is Usually Announced By Their Effects! 

May Almighty God Through Jesus Christ Our Lord 

Grant Us The Ability To See The Not-Obvious 

And 

Recognize The Not-Apparent As We Yield Our Lives 

And 

Our Will Over To His Safe-Keeping! 

Love Knows!

Love Shows

And 

In The Matchless Name Of 

The Blessed-Forever Name Of The King Of Love

Jesus Christ Our Lord

Love ... Which Provides A Harvest ... Grows! 

Think On These Things! 

Peace! 

Despising Our Own Splotchy Patch Of Almighty God's Goodness For ... Plastic Turf!?!

Beloved, 

Oh, How I Pray For Us All That 

We Will Take Heed To The Living Word That 

Calls Us To Trust In And Walk By Faith With Our God Almighty 

And 

Stop Trusting And Believing In Fables And Get Rich Quick Schemes! 

Dear Ones, 

The Elders Always Quoted This  Word: 

"The Grass Is Always Greener On The Other Side!" 

Which Contains Truth, Fact, Warning, And Encouragement! 

We May See Lush Green Grass On Someone's Side Of The Fence 

And 

Covet Same 

While Despising Our Own Splotchy Patch Of Our God's Goodness 

Until We Realize ... By Bitter Experience ... That 

Our Neighbor's Luxury Yard Of Green Goodness 

Ain't Nothing But Plastic Turf 

Or Real Green Grass Acquired At Mind-Numbing Cost 

Through Unconscionable Sacrifice 

And 

With Inordinate Expense To Maintain 

Plus 

Their Designer-Cupboard Is Bare! 

Dear Ones, 

Our Great God Is The One Creator 

Who Is Our Soul's Sole Provider 

And

He Is Not A Man That He Should Lie

Nor The Son Of Man That He Should Change 

Because 

He Is Having A Bad Day! 

Almighty God Is

And 

Because He Is

We Are ... Able To Trust Him 

If 

We Are Ready And Willing To Believe That 

He Can Do All That He Has Promised 

By The Shedding Of His Own Precious 

And 

Known-Innocent Can Never Be Guilty, Blood! 

The Lord Jesus Christ 

Is 

The  Strength Of Our Lives 

And 

Because He Lives

We May Rest In His Love And Saving Grace 

And 

Be Strengthened To Face 

Whatever Tomorrows He Permits Us To Face 

Under The Shelter Of His Wings! 

Beloved, 

Be Encouraged For You Are Greatly Blessed: 

Trust In The Lord Jesus With All Your Strength! 

Peace!
