VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: The Storms Of Life!!!

Psalm 107:29 KJV

He maketh the storm a calm, so that the waves thereof are still. 

Come On Mace, Get Real! There Are Storms ... Always! 

Maybe In Your Life, Dena, But Not In Mine Because ...! 

... Yes, We Know! You Are Blessed! Aren't We All!?! 

Okay, Before This Gets Out Of Hand, I Shall Have A Say In This Matter! 

Yes, Sis. Sullivan!!! 

Brethren, Whether You Want To Accept It Or Not, Storms Are Raging Nonstop! There Are Storms Above Us! There Are Storms Around Us, And Believe It Or Not, There Are Storms Constantly Raging Within Us! 

Sis. Sullivan, While I Respect Your Knowledge Of The Scriptures, And Your Love For Us, And Your Desire For Our Spiritual Growth, I Roundly Reject Your Idea Of The Storm Within! 

There Could Be  Storm-Clouds Over My Head, There Could Be Raging Waters At My Feet, But A Storm Within!?! Nahhh! Nope! Not Today! 

My Head Ain't Aching! My Stomach Ain't Churning! My Heart Ain't Racing, And I Ain't Running Around Like A Chicken Without A Hat-Holder! 

Simply Sorted And Said, Sadie-May! Are You A Christian!?! 

What A Question, Sis. Sullivan! Of Course, I Am! Why Do You Ask And With That Tone Of Voice Which I Know I Don't Like!?! 

Sadie-May, A Still Distant But Incoming Storm Is A Storm Above Us! 

A Flood Swirling At Our Feet Is A Storm Landed And Around Us! 

What Would You Call The Internal Upheaval That Every Committed Christian Feels In Their Daily Struggle Against Known Sin And For Christ's Free To All Salvation!?! Be Honest!

 Sis. Sullivan, What's Your Definition Of Storm!?! 

Sadie-May, Please Just Remember That Every "Good" Storm Includes A Free Service Of Rearrangement And A Garbage Dump Run! 

Oh, Dear, Oh, Dear! 

What Did You Say, Sadie-May!?! 

Nothing! I Did Not Say Anything, Sis. Sullivan! 

Brethren, Think Carefully: Would Our Lord Have Said That He Would Make The Storm, Our Storms, A Calm If There Would Not Be Storms In Our Lives!?! 

Would You Need A Refuge If There Are No Storms Of Life Sweeping Above, Around Or Within Us!?! 

You Know, We Often, And Erroneously, Believe That Our Greatest Storms In Life Are External! 

Come On, Sis. Sullivan, Don't You See The Wreckage Made Of People's Lives Even From Storms That Don't Actually Touch Down!?! 

Yes, Mace, I Do, But Even More, I See The Complete Wreckage Of Lives Destroyed, And Lives Also Lost, Because Of Refusal To Accept The Truth Then Present That A Storm Was Incoming, That Measures Needed To Be Taken To Safeguard Self From Satan Aka The Storm, That Trusting Only Jesus Christ Could, And Would, Save Us, That The Arm Of Man Was A Poor Weapon In The Day Of Battle, And That Denial Of Truth By Lack Of Trust In God Is The Surest Way To The Land Of Defeat, Destruction, And Death! 

Sadie-May, Denying Truth Does Not Turn Truth Into A Lie! 

Your Denying Facts Does Not Make Facts Fiction! 

The Lord Is Truth As His Word Is Truth! 

Our Internal Struggles Are Storms, Big Or Little, Controllable And Extinguishable By The Prayer Of Faith Which Cannot Fail, Or Uncontrollable By Doubt And Disbelief Which Is Sin, Lawlessness, And Unbelief Which Is A Plea For Help To Believe ... The Truth! 

Where Do You, Where Will You, Stand!?! 

Will You Acknowledge, Understand, Accept, And Act Upon The Truth Of The Internal Storm, And Give Our Lord Christ The Glory, Or Will You Reject Obvious Sight And Give That Damned Devil The Win Which Can't Benefit Him But Surely Destroys You!?! 

Truly, Beloved, A Mind Is A Terrible Thing To Waste! 

As Usual, Dear Brethren, Free Will And Freedom To Choose Are In Play! 

I Commend Us All To Almighty God! Have Hearts Of Faith! 

Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Cares!?!

Luke 8:14 KJV 

And that which fell among thorns are they, which, when they have heard, go forth, and are choked with cares and riches and pleasures of this life, and bring no fruit to perfection. 

You Like This Life, And You All Are Full Of, And Longing For, Its CRP! 

Bro. Newell, Dingus Just Said A Curse! 

And What Curse Would That Be, Young Alwin!?! 

Dingus Said C R A P! 

Dingus, Would You Care To Defend Yourself In This Matter! 

Bro. Newel, I Will Most  Certainly Defend Myself Against This Unfounded Accusation By The Young Squire Looking To Gain His Spurs! 

Not At My Expense, And Not Today, Young Fella! 

In Luke Chapter 8 And Verse 14, Our Savior Dear Was Speaking And Explaining About The Good Seed Aka The Word Of God, Which Fell On Throny Ground! 

The Thorny Ground Represents The Cares, The Riches, And The Pleasures Of This Life Which Many Run After ... To Their Very Ruin ... Instead Of Seeking After Christ And His Righteousness! 

Christ's Righteousness Is Moisture, Life, Health ... Heaven In Our Hearts! 

What Young Squire Alwin Heard Was CRP, Not A Curse! But, Then Again ... Squire Alwin Might Just Have A Point! Squire Alwin ...!?! 

... I'll Take It From Here, Dingus! 

Squire Alwin, You Have Indeed Scored Your First Victory! Dingus Did, Indeed, Utter A Curse! 

I Told You! I Told You! 

Please Control Yourself, Squire Alwin! 

My Apologies, Bro. Newel! 

Brethren, Young Squire Alwin Made A Great Observation! 

When We Do Not Guard Our Hearts Through Praying And The Reading Of The Living Word, The Cares, Riches, And Pleasures Of This Life Can Be And Will Be A Curse Upon Our Very Existence, And Naturally, Upon Our Hope For Heaven At The Last Trumpet! 

Not Everything That Says "Happy, Happy, Come, Come!" Is A Blessing! And, Furthermore, The Things That We Are Called To Bypass, Reject, Or Deny Are Not A Curse, Or A Pox, On Our Pleasure Receptors! 

What We Are Called To In Jesus Is Joy! What We Are Called Away From By Jesus Is No Loss! 

Know Jesus: Know Joy! No Jesus: No Joy! 

Dear Ones, A Little Child Led Us Today, And Good Indeed Was The Lesson! 

AMEN!!! 

Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Existing To Elevate Evil!!?!

Psalm 31:16 KJV

Make thy face to shine upon thy servant: save me for thy mercies' sake. 

Come Now, People! We Do Not Exist To Elevate Evil! Evil Exists To Eliminate Everyone Of Us Including Those Very Ones Who Take Perverse Pleasure In Practicing Evil To Enmesh Others In Evil To Enrich Themselves And Ensnare Their Adversaries To Eliminate Them! 

Brethren, Always Remember That The Evil That Men Do Lives After Them! 

Don't You Understand That The Stink That You Create Does Not Affect You Like It Affects Others Until It Affects You Like It Affects Others!?! 

Don't You Know That The Sight And Stench Of Death Does Not Impress An Undertaker! 

Bro. Bolden, For What It Is Worth, I Once Heard A Doctor Say That When You Have To Deal With Bad Smells That You Should Inhale Deeply And The Smell Will No Longer Bother You! 

Now, Dingus, That Perfectly Sums Up What Satan The Damned, The Adversary Of Souls, The Enemy Of Our Lord, And Us For Sure, Says To Us Through His Army Of Fallen Angels ... And Their Minions! 

Translated, If A Lil' Bit Of Sin Bothers You, Dig In, Go All The Way In, And A Whole Lot O' Sin Will Not Bother Your Sensibilities! 

Yes, Tandy! 

Bro. Bolden, I Here And Now Choose To See And Choose The Other Side, The Lord's Side, Of That Cockup! 

AMEN!!! 

How About We See And Touch Good, And When The Fragrance Of That Little Good Overwhelms Us, Let Us Energetically, Deeply Inhale And Invigorate Ourselves With That Good Smell Sent And Given To Us As A Good And Perfect Gift By The God Who Heals And Helps, Saves, And Is Sanctifying Us, And In The Day Appointed, Seals Us By His Sweet Spirit! 

AMEN!!! 

Witness!!! 

Praise The Lord! 

Thank You, Dingus! 

Brethren, The Lord Created Us To Be Thinking, Reasoning Creatures! Pray, Read, Think, Speak To The Lord, Reason With Him As He Asks Us To Do, And Do Not Permit Anyone To Eat Your Lunch! 

Let The Lord And His Unchanging Word Be Your Lifelong Guide! 

AMEN!!! 

Brethren, Remember This Day That The Face Of The Lord Can Rebuke Us, And The Face Of The Lord Can Shine Upon Us! 

I Choose The Face Of The Lord That Shines: How About You!?! 

Bro. Bolden, We Are Joining The Me, Too Movement! We Are Moving Up To Be With The Lord! 

AMEN!!! 

Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Joy Comes In The Morning!?!

Psalm 5:11 KJV

But let all those that put their trust in thee rejoice: let them ever shout for joy, because thou defendest them: let them also that love thy name be joyful in thee. 

... So Stop Telling Me Foolishness About "Joy Comes In The Morning!" 

Have You Completely Lost Your Tiny Mind, Minnit!?! 

I Guess I Lost My Tiny Mind The Same Day That You Acquired Your Top-Lofty Mind, Mundane! 

Alright, Alright, ALRIGHT, Minnit! What's Your Beef With The King James Bible, The Preserved Word Of Almighty God!?! 

Since You Asked So Nicely, Mundane, And Because I'm Nice, I'm Going To Tell You ... In Great Detail! Yes, Great Detail! 

I Can Handle It, By God's Great Grace, So Speak Your Piece, Peaceably! 

Your Bible ...! 

... Big Mistake! I'm Not, Almighty God! My Name Is Mundane Miles And I Have Never Inspired Holy Men To Write My Words By The Holy Spirit! 

Thanks, Mundane, I'll Take The Correction! 

Very Well, Minnit, Say On! 

The Holy Bible That You Cherish So Much Is A False-Oath Taker  ...! 

... Are You ...! 

... Let Me Finish! 

Go Ahead, Bossman!  

... Because It Speaks  Out Of Both Sides Of Its Covering By Saying "Joy Comes In The Morning!" AND "Tomorrow Is Promised To No Man!" 

Both Of These Statements Cannot Be True At One And The Same Time! 

Says You, Minnit! Since The Lord Of Glory Uttered Both Of Those Statements, Then Both Of Them Are True! You Got A Problem With Them, Take It To The Lord In Prayer! 

Aren't You An Ambassador For Christ, Mundane "Big Christian" Miles!?! 

Well, Yes, Of Course, I Am, Minnit! 

So Explain To Me How Both Of Those Statements Come To Be True At The Same Time! 

Sure, Minnint! The Answer Is Simple: God Said, I Believe AND That Settles It For Me! 

That Was Wonderful, Mundane! That Was A Wonderful ... Cop-Out! 

No, Minnit, That Is The Good News Truth! 

I'll Tell You This Much, Minnit! Tomorrow Is Promised To No One Is For The Braggart Class Who Believe That The Lord Works For Them, And Whatever They Are Determined To Do, Is To Be Done, Because, Well, They Said So! 

"Joy Comes In The Morning!" Is For Christ's Followers By Way Of Comfort Because Of The Sorrows They Endured, Or Will Endure, For Jesus Christ's Name's Sake, And The Gospel! 

Before Joy, Jesus Said "Sorrow May Last For A Night BUT ... Joy Comes In The Morning!" 

So What Does That Mean, Mundane! 

Don't Rush Me, Minnit, I Was Coming To That! 

Jesus Is The Joy Of Loving Hearts, And Jesus Is The Joy Of Living! Jesus Is Also, And Ever, The Center Of Our Joy! Therefore, "Joy Comes In The Morning!" Is Jesus Comes In The Morning! 

We Wake Up With A Portion Of Jesus' Faith Every Single Day To Use For That Day ... Alone! 

The Lord Jesus Gives Unto Us What We Need To Face Each Day ... In His Holy Care! There Are No Claw-Backs From Yesterday Or Draw-Downs From Tomorrow! 

Jesus, The Captain Of Our Salvation, Has Promised Never To Leave Us Or Forsake Us, And To Provide For Our Every Need! 

Wherever Jesus Is, Is Love, Joy, Peace, Light, Truth, And Blessing! 

Our Job One Is, For Love, To Be Righteous, Honest, And Obedient, Because We Trust Our Maker At His Living Word, And We Know, By Faith, Not Sight, That With him In Control, We Will Reach The Haven Of Rest! 

Our Jesus Saves: He Loves Us: We Love Him Because He Loved Us First! He Is The Joy Of Loving Hearts! 

Okay, Okay, Okay! I Get It Now! Jesus For Joy! Jesus For All Our Todays! 

AMEN!!!

Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Quotidian, Quotidian, Wherefore Art Thou, Quotidian!?!

 Psalm 68:19 KJV

Blessed be the Lord, who daily loadeth us with benefits, even the God of our salvation. Selah. 

Quotidian Relationship! Quotidian Prayer! Quotidian Praise! Quotidian Walk! 

Enough Already, Larkie! You're Setting My Teeth On Edge With Your Repetitive Use Of That Word! Please Stop! 

I Don't Know What You're Fussing About, Darnley! The Lord Jesus Used That Word! 

Stop Lying, Larkie! That Word Is Not In The Holy Bible! 

Is, Too, G. Raffe! 

Prove It! 

Well, To Be Perfectly Straight, The Word As Spelt Is Not In The Holy Bible But The Sentiment Is Plain! 

Do You Know What Quotidian Means!?! 

No! I've Never Heard The Word Before Today! 

Brethren, Quotidian Means Every Day Or Daily! 

Didn't The Lord Say To Pray Without Ceasing!?! And In All Your Ways Acknowledge Him And He Will Direct Your Paths!?! 

Doesn't The Lord Daily Load Us Down With Benefits!?! 

Yes, Yes, Yes! What's Your Point!?! 

My Point, My Friend, Is That We Must Be In A Quotidian Aka Every Day, Constant, Continual, Continuous, Consistent Communicative Relationship With Our Lord Jesus IF We Are To Survive The Coming Shipwreck, And Be Saved To Enter The Beautiful City! 

Remember, Dear Ones, The Lord And The Apostle Paul Were In Sweet Communion Even In The Midst Of The Storm Which Caused Sure Temporal Losses! 

I'm Convinced! Say That Word Again! 

Quotidian! We Have A Quotidian Jesus! 

AMEN!!! 

Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Indigestion!

Colossians 4:6 KJV 

Let your speech be alway with grace, seasoned with salt, that ye may know how ye ought to answer every man.

What You Ingest Is What You Digest, And What You Digest Is What You Express ... In Potent Form .. And Formation! 

Ingest The Living Word, Express The Saving Word ... By Grace Through Faith! 

Ingest The Wild World's Words, Express The Wasting World's Worthless Ways! 

That's Strong Language, Bro. Busey! 

These Are Terrible Times So There Is No Need For Holidays Hoops And Hollers! 

Just Get To The Point And Stick In The Pin, Right!?! 

That's Right, Gentilly! 

Sooo, Bro. Busey, How Did You Come Up With This One!?! 

Simple! I Heard A Long, Loud, Loose-Lipped, Ugly Conversation In The Public Square! Had To See, Forced To Hear, Made Me Squirm! 

I Wanted To Wash My Ears And Between My Ears, And I Had To Ask The Lord To Help Me Not To Allow Myself To Hold Any Of That Diatribe In Remembrance! 

Why Did You Make Such A Request Of The Lord, Bro. Busey! 

Simple, Sarah! Our Minds Record Every Single Thing That We See And Hear! Accessing It In A Coherent Manner Can Be Iffy Sometimes BUT, I Guarantee You That Those Things Which You Have No Interest In Retaining Are The Head Things Which Surface Clear As Day In Full Stereo ... And In Perfect Order, No Blips! It's Quite Disheartening! 

Remember, Brethren, To Guard Your Heart! Look Around You And See Plug Ugly Rising Rapidly, Loudly, Arrogantly, And Aggressively! 

Remember Computer Class: Garbage In/Garbage Out: Keep The Garbage Out! 

Do As The Lord Asks Us In Colossians 3:8! "But now ye also put off all these; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth." 

Beloved, We Need To Get Past The Intellectual Christianity And Walk In True Obedience, In Working Faith, For Love Of Our Lord Jesus! 

Heavenly Father, This Is Our Earnest Prayer This Night! Please Grant Unto Us The Strength And Faith To Keep Firm Hold On Our Deeply Held Belief In, And Heart's Desire For, Our Lord Jesus, For It Is In His Precious Name That We, Humble, Plead! 

“Set a watch, O LORD, before my mouth; keep the door of my lips.” Psalms 141:3 AMEN!!! Peace!
