VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Second Spring!?!

 

Surprise And Shock! 

The "Strange" Variableness Of The Weather Has Permitted Us To See Something Stunning: 

The Spring Bloom Bloomed In Spring 

And

The Trees Blossomed And Budded And Bloomed All Over Again 

In July ... In Summer-Time! 

The Trees Are Absolutely Gorgeous! 

In The Old Days

When A Family Had Already Raised Their Children To Adulthood 

And 

The Wife Found Herself In The Family-Way

People Talked About The Second Spring! 

It Was Amazing! 

Beloved, 

Let Us Think About This And Grow Rich 

In, By, And Through The Saving Grace Of Our Blessed Jesus! 

We, Believing, Connected, Grounded

Enduring, Trusting, And Faithful 

Shall See And Be Participant In The Second Spring

The Renewal

The Redemption Of Our Vile Bodies 

To Be Renewed To Edenic Splendor 

With A Glow-Up Grow-Up To Immortality And Incorruptibility! 

We Shall Be Like Our One Benefactor 

And

We Shall Be Like Him 

Because 

We Shall See Him As He Is! 

Dear Ones, 

Please Let Us Not Become Complacent 

With Our Dearly Purchased Salvation! 

Let Us Remember That Spring-Time Is Renewal 

And 

The Marker For New Life! 

Our New Life Is In And Of Jesus Christ! 

Catch The Vision! 

Toe The Line! 

Hold The Fort

And 

Ride The Gospel Train To Glory! 

Grow Where You Are Planted, God's People! 

Grow! 

Peace! 

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Fencing With The Lord!?!

 

Are We Laboring Under The Misguided Notion 

As Proffered By The Blind Guides 

Which Says That 

It Is Better To Ask For Forgiveness 

Than To Ask For Permission 

To Live Our Lives How We, Like Roving Slugs, "Authentically" Feel!?! 

Ask Jonah, King Saul, Balaam, Korah, The Denizens Of Sodom And Gomorrah

And 

Disciple Judas Iscariot

How That Worked Out For Them! 

Beloved, 

This Authentic Living Idea-Ideal 

Is 

One Of  The Most Poisonous Pills As Panacea That 

Satan The Damned Is Selling 

To The Sold Out To Sin Segment Of Society! 

Do Not Be Fooled ... 

Almighty God Is Not Mocked! 

Dear Ones, 

The Only Authentic Life

 Is

 The Life Lived In And For Jesus Christ The Lord! 

The Child Of God Will Know The Law Of God 

And 

Will Seek After The Will Of God For His Or Her Life 

By Mining The Word Aka The Preserved For Posterity Word Of 

The Lord Who Cannot Lie! 

Remember Achan! 

The Lord Means What He Says! 

Remember Ichabod Aka The Glory Has Departed 

When Presumptuous Sin Causes You, Me, Us

To Turn An Unanticipated Sharp Left Into The Land Of Regret 

Because 

We Unwisely Chose To Pursue A Lie 

To Appease Our Fleshly Desires! 

Remember That The Lord Will Never Chastise A Child 

For Asking For The Wisdom That The Lord Has Asked Said Child 

To Request Of Him Who Lives In Heaven! 

Committed-To-Christ Christians 

Do Not Wear Clown Shoes! 

Look Up To Jesus: 

You Are Greatly Loved! 

Peace! 

Don't Curse Your Blessings!

KJV John 6:63

63 It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.

Our Flesh Can Read, Reason

Resist The Devil

And 

Without Rhyme Or Reason

Against Its Own Maker Commit The Vilest Treason! 

Our Flesh Cannot Itself Profit 

And

May Against The Same Curse

But 

No Matter How Rich Or Rotund It Is

It Cannot Almighty God's Curse Of Human-Kind Ever Reverse! 

We Were Made In The Image Of God

And 

By Design Are Made A Little Lower Than The Angels

Of Which Kind There Now Be Two! 

One Kind Called One-Third Unholy Fallen 

Is 

Looking Our Lives To Destroy

And 

The Two-Thirds 

Is 

Holy, Wholly Obedient

Working To Help Us To Reach The Golden Shore Where There's Everlasting Peace For Me And For You! 

Living By Flesh Is Deadly 

And 

We Are Well Advised To Deny It 

And 

Run To The Lord Pleading For Grace 

While Reaching For Free Mercy 

To Help Us Not To Become The Spiritual Disgrace! 

Flesh Doesn't Elevate! 

Disobedience 

Is 

A Two-Edged Sword Sure To Destroy All 

Who Refuse To Use Holy Wisdom 

As Found In The Living Word! 

Don't Be A Doubter

A Gainsayer

Or An Unbelieving Arguer 

Famous For Following In Steps 

Contrary To Those Of Our Lord! 

Let's Call On Jesus For The Holy Spirit 

So That We May Walk In The Truth! 

Let's Plead With The Lord To Meet Us In Our Need 

And 

To Help Us To Reach Green Pastures With Good Food 

Upon Which To Thankfully Feed! 

Overcome Flesh By Faith 

And 

Overcome Carnality By Grace! 

And

Let's Remember That We Are Weak 

And 

Bow Before Our Maker 

Before The Arrival Of The Hated Undertaker! 

Do Not The Words Of Life Spurn: 

To Dust We Shall Return 

If 

We Don't Accept The Free Gift Of Eternal Life That 

Our Flesh Foolishly Wants To Earn! 

Beloved, 

Human Flesh Cannot Earn What Is Free! 

Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Careless Living Ain't Comfortable Nor Care-Free!

Before We Came To The Lord Jesus Christ

We All, Without Exception, Lived Thoughtless, Careless, Even Reckless Lives 

Because 

That Is What The Unregenerate Soul Does! 

Remember The Truth ... 

All Have Sinned 

And 

All Fall Short Of The Glory Of God! 

Dear Ones, 

What Do You Believe That You Could Give The Beautiful Savior

As Your Valid, Unimpeachable Reason 

For Your Hand In Causing Him To Have To Die 

To Save You From Eternal Separation From Almighty God!?! 

Do You Give Up!?! 

I Did 

Because 

There Is No Excuse For Our Sinning Against God's Holiness! 

Do Your Remember When Wanting To Do 

Turned Into I Did It 

And Then 

Turned To Why Did I Do That 

And On Into 

"Lord Jesus,

Please Help Me And Save Me!?!" 

Been There, Done That! 

Beloved, 

We, As Committed Christians

Can No Longer Walk With Or As The Unwise! 

Our Lives Must Be Lived As Those Wise Unto Salvation! 

Our First, Our Default, Position 

In Everything That Causes Us To Have To Make A Decision 

Is 

"Lord Jesus,

Help Me! 

I Come In Faith, Nothing Wavering!" 

Because 

Being Thoughtful, Careful, Prayerful, Faithful

And 

Ever Showing Abiding Love For Our Blessed Jesus 

Is 

The Anchor For Our Souls! 

Hang On To Jesus Today 

No Matter What Your Lying Eyes

Your Stopped Up Ears

And 

Your Crawling Skin Say! 

Jesus Saves So Let Him Save You! 

Peace! 

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Give All Your Anxiety To Christ Jesus!

 

Worry Is A Waster! 

Worry Is A Fraud! 

Worry Is A Lie Of The Devil To Place A Stout Curtain 

Between Me And Jesus Christ My Lord! 

Worry Is A Wanderer! 

Worry Is A Cheat! 

Worry Is Vehicle Willing To Transport Me 

To Avidly Suckle Anxiety's Ample Teats! 

Brethren Beloved, 

Please Listen Carefully To Me! 

We Are Not To Take The Path Of Least Resistance 

And 

Rock Back And Forth 

And 

Suck On Our Thumbs

Foregoing Rinse

But 

Lauding Repeat! 

Let's Get To The Altar Of Grace And Praise! 

Let's Access The Mercy Seat 

And 

Hallow The Ancient Of Days! 

Things May Look Hard 

And You May Be Hurting A Lot 

But Know For A Fact That Hurt-A-Lot Is Preferrable 

To Suffering The No-Eternal Life Blot! 

Trust The Lord Whom You Know To Be True! 

Resist The Devil And He Will Flee From You! 

Lean On The Lord 

And 

Away From The God-Fraud 

And 

By Going Through The Fiery Trials Of This Life 

With Intact Faith And Trust 

In Our Forever Faithful, Promise-Keeping Friend

You, Me, We, Will Arrive Safely 

To Spend Eternity With Jesus Christ The Lord Our God

The Word That Performs

The Truth That Saves! 

Peace! 

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: You've Got A Forever Friend!

The Words 

"I Shall Never Leave You Nor Forsake You!" 

Should Be As Manna In The Desert 

To The Ears, To The Heart, Of A Christian! 

Beloved, 

We Should Ever Be Quick To Recall To Mind That 

Our Blessed Jesus Does Not Remove His People From Their Trials 

But 

Is With Them, With Us, No Matter What It Is That We Are Going Through! 

Dear Ones, 

Remember Job, Abraham, Jacob, Joseph

And

Daniel And The Three Hebrew Worthies

And

Remember Your Very Self! 

Remember The Words 

"Yeah, I Will Be With You Always ...!" 

And 

Let Your Heart Be Glad For The Certain Knowledge That 

The God Whom We Serve 

Is Not 

Paper, Plastic, Precious Stone, Stone, Gold, Silver, Bronze, Iron

Nor A Concoction Of The Vile Imaginings Of 

An Unregenerate Heart! 

Got Troubles!?! 

Get Jesus Christ ... Your King! 

Peace!
