VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Are You Almighty God!?!

We Have All Heard The Statement Dramatically And Emphatically Uttered: 

"I'll Never Forgive Myself!" 

It's A Loaded, Powerful, Fizzy-Pop Lie From An Over-Wrought Heart 

Unless You're Putty In Satan's Grimy Hands 

And Then

It's An Even Bigger Lie 

Designed And Delivered To Deliberately Destroy 

The Precious Souls For Whom Jesus Christ The Redeemer

In Amazing Love, Once For All, Died! 

Beloved, 

Are You Almighty God!?! 

When Jesus Christ Purchased Our Forgiveness 

With His Precious Known-Innocent Blood At Calvary

It Was Mighty To Save Us All Who Believed! 

If You Refuse To Believe The Word 

And 

Reject The Blessed Forgiveness

You Have Become Your Own God Aka You Are "God" ... A Lie

You Are A Liar

And 

An Idolater

A Friend Of Satan

An Enemy Of The True And Living God

And

Have Booked A Berth For The Second Resurrection 

Where Regret Is The Tune Of The Trip! 

Brethren, 

We Are Required To Give Account For Our Lawless Words 

So, Please, I Beseech Us All

Do Not Dance With The Damned Devil

And

Do Not Offend

Do Not Crucify Afresh

Jesus Christ The King

Our Lord And Our God Never A Fraud! 

Who Jesus Christ Frees 

Is 

Free Indeed! 

Peace! 

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Nobody Has To Sin!

 

Jesus Saves Us From The Penalty Of Sin Aka Justification 

And

He Saves Us From The Power Of Sin Aka Sanctification! 

Our Greatest Enemy 

Is 

The One From Within! 

Think About It! 

We Love To Say That Somebody Is Pushing Our Buttons 

So We Are Free To Respond However We Personally Choose! 

If That's Your Story, Stick To It 

Or

Follow The Savior And Choose To Overcome Evil With Good! 

Beloved, 

Textbook Abusers ... Like Satan Their Master

Love To Lash Out And Say That You Made Them Do Whatever! 

Hold Up! 

Consider That We Who Are On The Receiving End Of Their Vitriol 

Will Respond And Say That They Made Us Respond 

However, Whenever, Wherever, Because! 

Consider This! 

When People Know What Triggers Your Behavior

They Will Load Your Weapon For You 

And 

Entice, "Force," Or Bedevil You To Pull The Trigger! 

Dear Ones, 

We Who Chose - And Every Day Choose - Jesus Christ 

As Our Everlasting Portion

Think Salvation 

And

Choose Life! 

Let Us Choose To Disappoint The Evil-Doers 

And 

Deliberately Walk On The Rocky Road 

Aka The Strait And Always Narrow Way! 

Life Is Tough ... When We Follow Our Jesus By Faith

But

We Are Not Alone! 

We Overcome By The Blood Of The Lamb 

And

The Unfailing "It Is Written!" 

The Word Of The Lord 

Is 

A Sharp Sword And A Comfortable Bed 

And

It Is Either Or Or Both 

At One And The Same Time! 

We Have Choice: 

Look In Or Look Up! 

What Is Your Decision!?! 

Sin For Short-Term Satisfaction 

Or Salvation By Grace Through Faith For Everlasting Life!?! 

Our Lord And Savior Jesus Unfailingly Saves The Willing! 

Save Yourself By Letting The Savior Save You! 

Peace! 

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Relevant In An Irreverent World! Really!?!

 

No Christian Can Possibly Be Relevant In An Irreverent World! 

No Christian Can Remain Godly By Partaking Of 

The Ungodly Activities Of Those Who Ignore   

And 

Forsake  The God Of Grace Who Inhabits Glory! 

Beloved, 

Is It Possible to Straddle A Fence 

And 

Still Walk Firmly, Steadily, Confidently On Both Sides!?!  ... To Glory!?! 

Dear Ones, 

Playing Fast And Loose With Salvation 

Is 

To Belly Up To The Trough 

To Eat Blow-Pork! 

Do You Want To Die!?! 

Don't You Want To Live!?! 

Growing Up, We Were Oft' Told The Old Story Of 

A Man Who Didn't Eat Known-Unclean Pork 

But 

Smelt It, Saw It, And Wanted It 

That Was On That Table "Real Bad!" 

His Solution Was To Say His Prayers 

And 

"Christen" That Pork 

And 

Call It Beef! 

What Changed!?! 

What Remained The Same!?! 

Who Changed!?! 

Were The Facts Changed!?! 

Did Truth Become A Lie!?! 

Did Desire Change Reality!?! 

Please Remember This, Dear Ones,

Turning A Deck Of Cards Upside Down

Bottom To Top

And 

Sideways

Does Not Change It To Something Different! 

It Will Remain A Deck Of Cards! 

The Word Of God Is Fixed ... 

This World Is Dying: 

Jesus Christ Is Life! 

Choose Wisely! 

Peace! 

 

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: The Choice Morsel!

 

Simply Put, Psalm 119 Verse 112

In King David's Own Words, Is 

"I Have Decided To Obey Your Laws Until The Day I Die!" 

Beloved, 

If We Remember The Words Of Prophet Samuel 

To The Disobedient King Saul

We Hear The Plain Talk: 

"To Obey Is Better Than To Sacrifice!" 

Obedience Is The Hallmark Of The Christian Experience! 

The Law Of The Lord Is Perfect 

So There Is No Need To Fear 

When We Do All That The Lord Asks Of Us! 

Dear Ones, 

Having A Life In And With Our Lord Jesus Christ 

Is 

Our Personal, Uncoerced, Unforced

Unenticed, Free-Will Decision! 

And Then

There Is The Biggie Aka "Until The Day ... I Die!" 

Your Clock, My Clock, Stops At The Moment Of Death! 

The Record Book In Heaven "Slams" Closed 

In The Day Of Your Death! 

Nothing Can Be Added By You 

And 

Nothing Can Be Erased By The Lord 

After You Close Your Eyes In Death! 

Beloved, 

Psalm 119 Verse 112 Is The Covenant Of A Person 

After The Eternal God's Own Heart

A Man Convicted Of Sin 

And 

Convinced Of Righteousness 

Who Is Determined To Meet His Lord And His King In Perfect Peace 

No Matter Who Or What

When Or Where

Why Or How The Vagaries Of Life Try To Have Him Change Course 

From The Plain: 

"Thus Saith The Lord!" 

Dear Ones, 

Please Never Forget That 

What You See, Hear, And Feel Are Natural Liars! 

If These Three Regular Employees Of Satan 

Cannot Stand Up To A Clear: 

"Thus Saith The Lord!" 

Please, I Beseech Us All, Have Them Act Like 

The Dishonorable Priest And The Indifferent Levite

- Who Both Lacked Charity Aka Love -

And 

Pass You By On The Other Side Of The Dusty Road! 

The Lord Is Always Near 

So Stand Like The Brave 

And 

Be Very Courageous! 

You Are Not Alone: 

The Lord Jesus Will Never Forget One Of His Own! 

Peace!
