VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Make It Plain: Free Gift!?!

The Idea Of A "Free" Gift 

Is 

Something That I Have Always Found Repugnant, Repulsive! 

Isn't A Gift By Its Nature Always Free!?! 

Did I Make A Request For A Gift 

Or Did You Offer It To Me!?! 

Beloved, 

This Troubled Me To No End 

Until The Word Of Almighty God

- The Word Of Saving Truth - 

Made It Plain! 

Why Would The Lord Call His Gifts To Us Free 

As A Clear Mark Of Distinction 

Unless There Were Expensive As In Costly Gifts On Offer 

Outside Of The Realm Of Truth 

Which Would Cost Us Finite Creatures What We Cannot Afford To Pay 

But For Which We Blithely Extend Our Hot Little Hands!?! 

Dear Ones, 

Beware Of And Reject All Gifts 

Which Require You To Pay Shipping And Handling Fees 

As Such "Gifts" Are Sent, Given, Extended To You 

From The Benighted Hand Of The Adversary Of Souls 

Who Seeks To Enrich Himself In His Need To Devour Someone 

By Making You Poor Indeed! 

Remember That The Roaring Lust Of Your Eyes 

Will Never Satisfy Your Raging Need For 

The Savior's Free To All Salvation! 

Jesus Christ On Calvary Bought And Paid

Packed, Shipped

And 

Delivered For Free Aka No Personal Cost To Us

Our Free Gift Of The Trip Home To Glory 

To Our Heavenly Father's House Of Joys Forevermore! 

Please Freely Give Your Whole Heart To The Lord Jesus! 

Receive This Life's Only Free Gifts From Almighty God 

And 

Live Free In Our Only Savior Christ Jesus! 

Peace! 

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: WAS:TE!

 

Waste Is Not A Word That Any Student 

In The School Of Jesus Christ 

Should Toss About Willy Nilly Or Take Lightly! 

Waste Has Eternal Implications! 

Waste Is A Warning! 

For Our Purposes Here

WAS:TE Means 

We Are Students: Test Everything! 

Beloved, 

Be Warned! 

Be Watchful! 

Be Working! 

Be Wise! 

Be Waiting! 

Our Blessed Jesus Asks Us To Test The Spirits 

To Find Out If They Are From The Lord 

By Using The Word Of Truth 

Which Our Unfailing, Always Fulfilling, Filling Word 

From The Eternal God Known Holy, Just, True, Giving, And Forgiving 

Is

Sure To Ascertain! 

Dear Ones, 

We Are Nearing Home! 

Please Let Us Not Fall Short Of The Mark 

At The Border Of The Promised Land 

Because Of 

The Kingly Powers And Known Prophets Of God 

As Represented In The Scripture Of Truth 

By The Likes Of King Balak And Prophet Balaam! 

Every Party Thrown For You Does Not Celebrate You

And

Not Every Prophet Saying "Lord, Lord!" 

Is 

From The Lord Of Life! 

The Lord Of The Dung Flies, Satan The Damned

Has Minions Everywhere! 

Remember, Dear Ones, And Don't Ever Forget That 

We Are Students And Should Test Everything

- Including This Missive - 

Against The Immutable, Infallible Word! 

The Living Word Works! 

Peace! 

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Wanderers Don't Win!

 

I Would Rather Be A Bass Drum For The Army Of The Lord 

Than To Be A Snare Drum Or Pied Piper's Whistle 

For Satan's Damned Army! 

Dear Ones, 

Think, Think, Think! 

Our Adversary, Satan, Would Have Us To Believe That 

We Do Not Need To Conform To The Divine Form Of The Holy One 

Whom You Know That You Have Been Called To 

And 

Are Willingly Choosing To Represent! 

Do You Remember The Old Saw That Says That 

Our Eyes Are Easily Tricked!?! 

Do You Also Remember The Word Of Truth Which Plainly Says 

"Guard Your Heart!?!" 

Do You Also Remember That 

We Need To Meet And Pass The Test For Lust Of The Eyes!?! 

Here It Is! 

Beloved, 

If We Don't Boldly Choose To Follow The Divine Form Of 

Our Creator, Savior, Lord, God, Redeemer, And King

Our Ever-Roving Eyes Will Slide, Wonder, Wander

And 

Ultimately Travel Unimpeded To Every Function, Party, Repast

Or Bacchanal Of Debauchery! 

Beloved, 

The King ... Our Kind King

Is 

Coming Soon

And 

Now Is Not The Time To Have Wandering Eyes

Unpinned Forms

Or Uncommitted True To Christ Attachments! 

To Whom, Through What, Are You Attaching!?! 

Will It Glean For You The Rich Reward Of 

Everlasting Life Through Christ The Lord!?! 

Do A Thorough Think

And 

Have A Telling Talk By Prayer

And 

Put Down Your Tent Pole In The Camp Of The Eternal God! 

Peace! 

Happy Sabbath + Exhortation!

Exhorted! 

          Commanded! 

                       Encouraged!

The Pointy Stick! 

The Hammer! 

The Embrace! 

How Often, Beloved, Have You Read The Bible

Or Heard A Sermon From A Faithful Steward

And 

Felt That The Exhortation Was Nothing More Than A Burden

A Pointy Poking Stick That 

Commanded Your Attention So Roughly That 

It Was As Though It Was Being Hammered Into You 

And 

Pounding Soft And Delicate You Into Mush Or Mash!?! 

How Long Did It Take Before You Realized That 

That Charged Word Known Truthful, Necessary

Was Encouragement, An Embrace, From The Heart Of Our God Eternal 

Who Makes Wrong Things Right

And 

Makes Broken Things Whole

And 

Causes The Dead To Live Again!?! 

What Made The Difference!?! 

Was It When You Realized That 

The Love Of God Was To And For You 

And

For You Made Bitter Herbs Sweet

The Winding Path Straight

The Rough Places Smooth

The Impossible Possible

And 

The Hellish Existence The Road To Glory 

Because 

Jesus Christ's Love To You Was Home Calling You Home!?! 

Dear Ones, 

The Love Of God

- The Sacrificial Love Of The Just One - 

Was Made For All 

And

Whosoever Is Willing To Be Saved Will Reap Its Sweets! 

Will You Accept The Charge That Is From That Account That 

Is 

Always Free And Fully Funded 

By Our Forever Faithful Friend And Forgiving Father!?! 

Listen Again With Love For The Lover Of Your Soul 

And 

Let Him Lovingly Lead You To His Eternal Life! 

The Word Of Life Fashions Us

Feeds Us

And 

Fills Us Up Forever! 

Peace!
