VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Just Stop Already!

Proverbs 19:6 KJV

Many will intreat the favour of the prince: and every man is a friend to him that giveth gifts.

Who 'Fend You, Saulty!?! 

Nobody And Everybody, Ren! 

Do Spill The Cocoa Tea: I Got Wibix Biscuits! 

Well, It Is Like This: 

I Have  Watched And Listened To Various People 

As They Waxed Poetic About Gifts That 

They Had To Purchase 

And, Given The Manner In Which They Spoke

It Really Started To Offend My Spirit 

To The Point Where A Particular Thought Started Circling Around In My Mind! 

Oh!?! What Would That Particular Thought Be ... If I May Ask!?! 

Yes, You May Ask And I Am Telling You! 

Quote Me: 

"People Need To Stop Buying Gifts For People That 

They Don't Like 

And Who Don't Even Like Or Care About Them!" 

Wow! 

That's A Loaded Statement 

And I Am Sure That There Is More Behind That 

Than What You Are Saying! 

You Are Right, Ren! 

People Can Give Gifts To Whomever They Want 

For Whatever Occasion Or Reason 

But What Was And Is Bothering Me Is 

... No ... Well

Let Me Ask You A Question: 

Do You Believe That Satan Likes Or Cares About You!?! 

Ren, That Has To Be And Is A Hard "No!" 

So, Answer This One: 

Do You Like Satan!?! 

Have You Been Hugging A Cell Tower, Saulty!?! 

No, Ren, I Have Not! 

So Please Tell Me, SAULTY

Why You Would Ask Me Such An Ig'rant Question!?! 

Pipe Down, Ren, And Just Walk With Me In This

And Answer My Question! 

Do You Like Satan!?! 

No, Saulty, I Do Not Like Satan! 

Far From That, I Hate, I Loathe

I Despise And In Jesus Christ's Holy Name I Denounce Him 

For What He Did And Does! 

Okay, Ren, I'm With You On That Score! 

Now Respond To This Fast Ball: 

Since You Have All Of These Negative Superlatives Regarding Satan

Who Are YOU And Why Are WE Giving Him Expensive Gifts!?! 

Whaaat!?! 

Bite Your Tongue, Saulty! 

Who For A Christian Would Give Satan A Gift!?! 

My Dear Ren, I Can Give You A Long List Of People 

And The First Name On The List Will Be Mine 

... And You May Add Yours To The Bottom! 

Oh, Dear! 

Yes, Ren, Oh, Dear, Sounds About Right! 

The Scriptures Tell Us That We Sin By Thought, Word, And Deed 

AND That Satan Comes To Kill And Destroy! 

With These Two Thoughts Being True

And We Are Sinners

And Jesus Christ Saves Sinners

Why Are We Gifting Satan Expensive Presents That 

Can't Profit Him 

But Will Undoubtedly Cost Us Everything 

Aka The Unspeakable Gift Which Almighty God Gives!?! 

The Bible Text Speaks About The Favor Of The Prince 

And Being A Friend To Those Who Give Gifts: 

There Is The Prince Of The Power Of The Air 

Aka Satan Aka Our Adversary Who Should Be Persona Non Grata 

As In Not Welcome In Our Lives 

AND 

There Is The Prince Of Peace 

Aka Our Savior And Forever Friend 

Who Gave His All 

To Give Us His All 

By Taking All Of Our Sin Into Himself 

Who Is The Only One To Whom We Should Be Giving A Heartfelt Gift 

Without Reservation! 

I Hear That, Saulty! 

Don't Just Hear It, Ren! 

Act Upon It! 

Daily Gift Yourself To The Lord 

So That You Won't Have Any Time 

Nor Any Thing Anymore 

To Gift To The Damned Devil! 

In Jesus' Name, Saulty, In Jesus' Name! 

AMEN!!! 

Lord, Grant Us Discernment! 

Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Do You Know The Distance Between Heaven And Hell!?!

Psalm 4:1 KJV

Hear me when I call, O God of my righteousness: thou hast enlarged me when I was in distress; have mercy upon me, and hear my prayer.

Do You Know The Distance Between Heaven And Hell!?! 

Come On, Saury! 

No Created Being Can Know That Figure! 

Are You A Committed To Christ Christian, Baulher!?! 

Of Course, I Am! 

Well, I Am, Too, And I Can Definitively Tell You 

Without Fear Of Contradiction 

What is The Distance Between Heaven And Hell! 

Cheupse! 

You Always Coming With Some Nonsense To Fret People Spirit! 

I Am Serious, Celeyse! 

Oh, Really!?! 

How Could You, A Dust Bunny, Pardon My Harsh Language 

Know Something That Is Not Written Down In The Bible

And Thus Not Available For Our Education!?! 

Well, Sweet Girl, That Shows Your Lack

Your Saaad Lack, Of Bible Knowledge! 

Them's Fighting Words So You'd Better Take That Back! 

I Will Not Because I Am Right 

And You, Poor Dear, Are Wrong! 

Okay, Then, Know-It-All! 

Prove That You Are Right! 

With Pleasure! 

Philippians 4:6 ... Pray Without Ceasing! 

If, Let's Say, You Found Yourself Heading Toward Hell 

And You Don't Want To Go There

What Would You Do!?! 

That's Easy! 

I Would Be Praying And Pleading With Almighty God 

In The Name Of Jesus Christ The Righteous 

To Help Me To Not Go There! 

Celeyse, Did I Hear You Correctly When You Said

And I Quote: "I Would Be Praying ... !?!" 

Well, Yes, You Did, Saury! 

So What!?! 

You Still Don't Get It, Do You!?! 

Get What!?! 

What Am I Supposed To Get!?! 

Celeyse, Celeyse, Celeyse ... Tsk, Tsk, Tsk! 

The Distance Between Heaven And Hell ...! 

... I Know, I Know! 

Yes, Baulher! 

It's A Prayer! It's A Prayer!?! 

But, But, How!?! 

Celeyse, My Dear, Prayer Will Keep You Out Of Hell 

And Lack Of Prayer Will Keep You Out Of Heaven

Therefore, The Distance Between Heaven And Hell Is A Prayer! 

I Just Don't Know How He Does It! 

First He Frets My Spirit 

And Then Turns Around And Blesses My Soul! 

I Wish That I Could Hate Him But ...! 

... Yeah, I Know, But We All Love Him At The Same Time! 

Uh Huh! 

He Did It Again! 

Yup! 

Lesson Learned! 

Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: PRAYER: One Thing I Ask, Lord!

1 John 5:14 KJV

And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us:

PRAYER:

Dear Father, 

In The Name Of The Lord Jesus, I Ask A Boon! Please Help Me In All Things To Make You My Default Position! Help Me To Ever Seek And Hold You In My Heart As My Back-To-Base, Ignoring The Taunts Of Those Who Call Me And My Brethren "Christians!" As A Pejorative, An Insult! You've Told Us That The Day Will Come When We, Your People, Will Be Without Earthly Support And I Beseech You To Keep Your Promise, Not That You Need To Be Asked Since You Are The Promise-Keeping God, But Because I Need To Touch Your Hand, Your Heart, By My Word Of Faith In You And Your Almighty Power! Lord, We Need You, I Need You, And I Am Not Ashamed To Say It Or For Others To Know It! Father, Others Have Stood Up And Have Counted Themselves Resolute, Committed, Faithful To False Gods Which Neither See, Hear, Speak, Walk, Hold, Help, Or Heal And So, Today, Right Now, As In The Wedding Ceremony, In The Covenant Vows Before The Company Of Witnesses, I Pledge You My Troth And With Your Assistance, I Choose To Keep Myself Unto You Alone, Without Reservation While This Life Shall Last By Your Holy Spirit, The Comforter Of Us All, Who Leads Us Into All Truth! Father, I Have No Other God Save You, The True And Living God! I Have No Help But You, My Refuge And My Strength! I Have No Home Save Yours, Beulah Land, The Beautiful City, The Home Of The Faithful, Where Peace Dwells! I Am So Glad That My Lord Jesus Loves Me And I Am Glad That He Called Me From The Darkness Of Death Through Sin And Into His Marvelous Light Where Life Everlasting Is The Home Of The Soul! Lord, Lift Me Up! Help Me To Be Like Jeremiah To Say That Your Call, Your Will For My Life, Is Like A Fire Shut Up In My Bones! Be It The Altar Of Sacrifice Or Drawing The Plow To Break Up The Fallow Ground By Telling The Good News To Those For Whom The Lord Christ Died, Help Me To Serve Faithfully And With Patient Endurance No Matter The Cost! Help Me To Live My Life Uttering The Call And Basking In The Lover Of My Soul With The Immortal Words "Jesus Saves!" Please Grant Me My Request For I Ask It In My Gift Of A Portion Of Jesus Christ's Faith Which Cannot Fail! I Love You With My Whole Heart And, With Thankfulness And Gratitude, I Bless Your Holy Name For All Your Blessings On Me And The Brethren, And All Who Shall Be The Ultimate Inheritors Of Christ's Free To All Salvation! AMEN!!!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Moving Train Wreck!

Psalm 51:10 KJV

Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me. 

Colly!?! 

Yes, Binky! 

Colly, Have You Ever Seen A Moving Train-Wreck!?! 

Who Hasn't!?! 

We See Those Ever So Often On The Idiot Box! 

No, Colly! Not That Kind! 

I Didn't Know That There Was Any Other Kind, Binky! 

Well, Colly, My Friend, I Am Presently Watching A Moving Train-Wreck 

And When It Finally Hits The Restraining Wall

Somebody's Gizzard Goin' Splash Out 

And Their Guts Is Goin' Be Garters! 

Gracious, Binky, What Channel Is That On!?! 

Colly, You Ain't Listening Real Well! 

Pay Attention! 

If You Have Ever Had The Great Misfortune Of 

Having To Interact With Someone 

Who Takes Perverse Pleasure In Doing Evil

And You Have Been On The Receiving End Of 

Their Practiced Wickedness

And They Don't Seem To Care That 

There Are Witnesses To Their Machinations

And You Can Safely Project How Their "Adventure" 

Is Surely Going To End

Believe Me, It Will Cure You Of 

Ever Wanting To Be A Co-Laborer With Satan 

And Will Send You Running To The Safety That Is 

The Arms Of Our King Jesus! 

Merciful Powers! 

That Doesn't Sound Very Pleasant, Binky! 

It Wasn't And It Isn't! 

I Have Seen Some Things That Have Had Me Questioning 

If I Have Ever Had An Attitude, A Persona, Like That 

At Any Point In My Life For Even A Single Moment

And I Asked The Lord To Forgive Me 

If I Have Ever Been Like That! 

I Can Imagine, Binky! 

No, You Can't, Colly! 

Seeing Someone Behave Like That 

Is Like Watching A Snake Uncoil

Like Having A Bird's Eye View, A Drone View

And Watching A Car, A Truck, A Train 

About To Be Wrecked Big-Time 

And Knowing That There Is Absolutely Nothing That 

Anyone Can Do Avert It! 

It Makes You Sick To Your Stomach 

Unless You Are That Side-Winder, Satan

Who Encourages People To Sin Against Their Own Souls! 

Binky, You're Making My Skin Crawl 

Just Painting That Word-Picture For My Mind's Eye To Behold! 

What Are Doing About It!?! 

I Am Praying For That Person, For Myself

And For The Brethren

And For All Who Will Be The Ultimate Inheritors Of 

Almighty God's Free To All Salvation! 

Lord Jesus, 

Please Keep Us Near Your Cross 

Else We Will Never Escape The Disaster Up Ahead! 

Help Us To Pray Without Ceasing

And To Choose To Suffer Hurt Before We Will Ever Sin! 

Please Protect Us From The Evil One 

And Bless Us To Keep Our Savior First, Last, And Always 

In Our Thoughts, Words, And Deeds! 

AMEN!!! 

Help Us, Lord! Help Us! 

Grant Us Peace!
