VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Polishing The Pig!?!

Isaiah 55:7 KJV

Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon. 

Sooo, You Ever Polish A Pig, Carman!?! 

Can't Say That I Have Since I Don't Do Pork, And I Never Played Football, Elvin! 

Me, Neither, But That Phrase Seriously Speaks To Me! 

How So!?! 

You Remember That  Scripture About A Pig Going Back To Its Wallowing Pit Right After You Spiff Him Up Real Nice And All!?! 

Yes, I See What You Mean And, Thinking About That, Pigs Are Unclean, Just Like Sin, And If We Extend That There Metaphor, We Done Gots Ourselves The Problem! 

Yes, Indeed, We Do! 

So, Carman, What Do You Think Is Our Problem ... In A Few Words If You Can!?! 

Well, Elvin, To My Mind, You Know That I Went To School Long But Not Regular, That There Polished Pig Of The Football Kind, We Should Definitely Call Sin! 

We Like To Hold That Pig-Sin In Our Hot Little Hands Just To See How It Feels ... Just For The Look-See ... Or So We Say! 

Carman, You Ever Had A Hard Candy In Your Mouth Convinced That You Were Going To Suck On It Until The Last Sliver!?! 

Been There, Done That, Failed Every Time! 

Pig-Sin Is Like That Hard Candy But Without Any Lasting Pleasurable Benefits, And With All The Undesirable Urges For More, Better, Bigger Marked To The Column "Leverage And Loss!" 

You Ever Hear People Talking About Their Pork Chops And Ribs And How Wonderful They Are, And The Pork Board Talking About The New White Meat ...!?! 

...  I Also Read That The Good Lord Said Don't Eat It, Don't Touch It, Because Pigs Are Scavengers! 

So, Who Are You Going To Believe AND Follow!?!  

Playing With Pig-Sin Is ... Transgressive ... Presumptuous ... Just Wrong! 

We Can't Pretty-Up Sin And "Entice" The Lord To Approve It! 

Carman, We Are Not To Tempt The Lord With Our Vanities And Pride! Our Ways Are Not His Ways Nor Our Thoughts His Thoughts! 

We Did Not Create Ourselves! He Created Us And He Said "Don't!" But We Do It Anyhow Because We Are Making Him Over In Our Image! 

This Should Go Over Real Fine On Judgment Day! 

It's A Sorry Maker, Creator, Builder Who Can't Dismantle His Mantle, Breakdown A Build, And Unmake His Makings! 

'Deed! 

It's A Shame How Quickly And Glibly We Ignore The Lord's Good Parts And Choose To Walk Wise In Worthlessness Because, Well, Why Not! 

Don't You Always Hear That The Old Saw Says That "Everybody Is Doing 'It' So Why Not We!?!" 

It Was Foolish The First Thousand Times I Heard It And It Is Still Foolish Today! 

There Ain't No Amount Of Applied Gold Paint, Pearls And Lace And Lipstick Which Can Make Pig-Sin Into Eternal Growth Stock! 

Sighhhh ... 

The Commandments Are A Light So Let's Walk In The Light That Leads To Life! 

You Ever Realize That Folly, Fools, And Foolishness Have Lots Of Fans And Followers!?! 

That Is Easy To Suss Out: The Bar Is Set So Low That Everybody And Anybody Can Walk Over Because No Stepping Up Is Suggested Or Requested! 

I'm Glad That The Lord Has Got Standards: Step In, Step Up, And Stand Out OR Step Down And Fool Around, Ignore The Frown, And Be Thrown Out Bound Into Outer Darkness With Those Who Believed That The Lord Jesus Was Someone They Could Clown! 

That's Imagining Vain Things! 

Lord, Help! 

AMEN!!! 

Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Leaning Takes Learning!

John 13:23 KJV

Now there was leaning on Jesus' bosom one of his disciples, whom Jesus loved. 

A Favorite Song Of Mine Is Called "Learning To Lean!" 

That's A Favorite Of Mine, Too, Cadence! 

You're Lying, Lexie! 

Nope! I Absolutely Love That Song Because It Taught Me A Great Bible Truth! 

How So, Lexie!?! 

Look At The Song's Title First Of All! Learning To Lean: Learn, Lean! Leaning Takes Learning! Look At Learning! Take Out The "R" And You Get Lean! 

Lexie!?! 

Yes, Dingus! 

Lexie, My Friend To The End, What Are You Going To Do With Or About The "R" So Unceremoniously And Unconscionably Ripped From Its Comfortable Haven Of Rest, Reflection, And Refreshing!?! 

Glad You Asked, Dingus, But You'll Have To Wait A Bit For The Answer! Take A Load Off! Rest A While! All Will Be Revealed! 

Listen Up, People! Come Unto Me All Ye That Labor And I Will Give You Rest! Who Said ...! 

... Jesus Christ The Lord! 

Cast Your Every Care On Him! 

Anybody Who Is Leaning, Aware Or Not, Has A Need, And In That Very Posture Their Learning, And They Are Learning, Is Being Revealed! 

Jesus Christ's Call To Us As Laborers, To Come To Him, To Cast Our Every Care On Him As Those Wearied By Life, Is Not Random Or Useless! 

That Call Is Specific, Direct, Useful, And We Need To Heed To Succeed! 

Brethren, We Are Called From Unfulfilling, Wearying Labor, To The "R" To Be Refreshed In The Redeemer's Rest Here, And Resurrected Into Eternal Rest When The Times Of Refreshing Shall Come From The Hand Of The Lord! 

Beloved, Please Do Not Be Swayed By The Rhetoric Of The Unregenerate World Which Approves Success By Self Aka Lifting Up Yourself With Your Own Bootstraps In The Boots That You Are Wearing Aka Make Yourself Great By Your Own Efforts Leads To Burn Out, Flame Out, Burn Up By Your Own Efforts Aka Do A Satan Special! 

Please Don't Do That! 

Jesus Christ, He Who Saves, Is Our Rest, Resurrection, Life, Our Rock Of Refreshing, The Living Stone, Rock Of Our Salvation! 

We Are Blessed By And In Him ... Alone! 

Peace!!!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: What Does Grace Do ... For You!?

1 Peter 1:13 KJV

Wherefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ; 

... There Isn't Anything Called Cheap Grace! 

There Are Those Of The Hireling Shepherd Persuasion Who Think Nothing Of Boldly, Basely, Brazenly Lying ... For The Adversary Of Souls ... To The Lord's Purchased Possession To Get Position, Hold Power, And Gain People To Their Place Of Pontificating! 

They Are Wolves In Sheep's Clothing! 

They Are Licensed Liars! 

They Are Jesters Like Judas! 

They Play The Part Failing To See, To Recognize, To Understand, That Their Part In The Play Is Leading Them Post Haste To Perdition! 

Sadly, The Less Than Vigilant Who Followed, Are Following Them, Are Following Them There! 

Lord Jesus, You Are Mighty To Save! You, By Your Sweet Spirit, Are Calling, Wooing, Working Unceasingly To Save Your People From Self, Sin, And Satan, And The Spurious Teachings Of Those Whose Consciences Are Seared By Hot Irons, Who Are Fattening Themselves By Starving The Loving Lord's Lambs And Sheep! 

Brethren, Beware The Salvation Thief AND Be Aware Of Almighty God's Saving Grace Sufficient And Enough And Able To Wash You Clean, And Wipe You Dry And Supple You With Oil Of Gladness, And Wrap You In The Love Of God Which Will, Under No Circumstance, Let You Go To Hell In A Handbasket! 

Listen To The Lamb Of God Who Takes Away The Sin Of The World ... And That Includes Yours, All Of Yours, Which You Confess And Heartfelt Repent! 

Christ's Pardon Cleanses Clean Indeed! 

The One Cleansed Is Strengthened To Remain Clean In, By, And For Christ Alone! 

The Soul Strengthened Is Preserved By Grace Through Faith In Christ Alone! 

The Preserved Soul Is Restored To The Faith Which Cannot Fail! 

Salvation Is Free, And To Be Free in Christ Is To Be Free Indeed! 

We Are Not Restored To Walk In Darkness But To Walk In The Light of Life, To Have Our Minds Enlivened, And To Be Quickened, Made Alive, From The Dead, From Dead Works, From All Things That Defile, That Separate Us From The Love Of Almighty God, Personified By Our Lord Christ Jesus, He Who Is God With Us! 

We Are Blessed! 

We Have The Blessed Hope! 

We Have And We Are In The Heart Of Him Who Alone Saves Us To The Uttermost! 

We Are Bought With A Price! The Cost Was Innocent Blood! He Did Not Stint, He Wasn't Stingy, To Pay The Cost! 

He Gave His All For Us To Have His All For All Time ... And Eternity! 

Cheap Grace!?! 

Not In This Life! 

It Won't Get Anybody Into The Everlasting Life Either! 

Christ's Favor Is Free! His Grace Is Freely Given To Us But It Cost Him Dearly! 

Learn The Difference And Use Your Independence To Accept The Unspeakable Gift And Daily Depend Upon Christ The King! 

Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Defending God!?!

Psalm 25:5 KJV

Lead me in thy truth, and teach me: for thou art the God of my salvation; on thee do I wait all the day. 

In The Spirit Of Gideon's Father's Defense  Of His Son: The Lord Can Defend Himself: He Is The Eternal God: What Can Puny Man Withhold From Him Or Do To Him!?! 

What Can I, A Mere Mortal, A Child Of The Dust, Blessed Only Because the Lord Condescended To Give Unto Me His Breath Of Life So That I Can Live And Move, And Have Any Being, Do To Force The Almighty God To Give Up His Goods!?! 

I Believe God: I Trust Him: I Love Him: I Honor, Worship, And Obey Him In The Times When I Can Get Over My Self Enough To Hear And Heed The Holy Spirit's Quiet Call To Life And Peace! 

Look, Larimer, I Am Not Going To Act All Religious And Righteous And Pretend That I Have No Need, Because I Do, That I'm Too Blessed To Be Stressed, But I Will Say With An Honest Heart That I Want To Ask The Lord, Just Like Job, 

"Why Are You Contending With Me!?! You Made Me, And You Know My Weaknesses And My Strengths! You Know, Before I Do, When I'm Going To Go Left, Right, Skid, Spin Out, Or Go Bums Up! 

You Know My Why When I'm Asking You When! You Know My Who When I'm Asking You Where! You Know My What When I'm Asking You How! 

Politely, Lord, You Are The Know It All, In It All, Good For All God! You Are The Good For Me, Here For Me, With Me God! 

You're Not A Crypt Keeper But A True And Holy Life Teacher! 

You Are A Secret Keeper: What I Tell You Stays Between Us!  

You Are The Promise Keeper: Your Word Stands Fast Forever! 

You Know Me, My Name, My Nature, So Why, Lord, Why Are You Stretching Me Out Like A Rubber Band!?! 

Oh, Lord, I Know, I Know! I Caused This When I Opened My Big Mouth And Asked, Pleaded, For Ever Increasing Faith! 

Yes, I Know! You're Right ... As Always! I Will Repeat It After You! "How Would I Know If My Faith Is Increased Unless My Present Faith Is Exercised, Tried, And Tested!?!" 

Yes, Lord! I Understand! If I Knew What You Know, I Would Choose To Be Led In The Path That You Are Leading! 

But, Lord ...! 

... There Are No Buts In God! 

Thank You, Father, For Reminding Me That My God Is, That You Are Real! 

I Love You, Lord! 

Thank You For Your Love, Lord! 

AMEN!!! 

Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: PRAYER: Faith Can't Fail!

1 Corinthians 16:13 KJV

Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, quit you like men, be strong.

Thank You, Dear Lord, For The Word That Works, The Faith Which Cannot Fail, The Truth That Touches, Teaches, Tries, And Tempers, And The Living Love That Will Not Let Us Go To Loss, And Be Lost! 

Bless You, Lord, For The Beautiful, Bountiful Blessings That Lift Us Up, And Beautifies Us With Your Peace! 

Thank You, Bless You, And Praise Your Holy Name, Lord, For The Grand Gift Of Glorious Grace That Gives Us Of Your Holy Love Again, And Again! 

Lord, I Am Not Worthy Of The Least Of Your Favor, But You Are Worthy To Receive All Of My Prayers, Praise, Worship, Love, And The Gift Of My Allegiance, Belief, Cooperation, Deference, Endurance, Fervor, Hope, Joy, Needs, Talents, And Watchfulness! 

I Beseech You, Lord, To Strengthen Me And Help Me Not To Allow My Freedom In Your Love To Become The Liberty Of License To Live A Lawless Life! 

Please Help Me To Ever Humble Myself And Pray And Seek Your Face And Turn At Your Reproofs With A Humble Heart Of Repentance! 

Please, Lord, Do Not Let Presumptuous Sin Have Dominion, Control, Over Me Because I Desire With My Whole Heart To Be Under My Lord Christ's Complete Control For He Cares For Me! 

Bless Me To Do Your Will For I Am Willing! 

I Love You! 

Thank You For Hearing And Answering My Prayer, For I Make My Petition In Jesus Christ's Holy Name! AMEN!!! 

Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: PRAYER: Father, Helpppp!!!

John 16:33 KJV

These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.

Dear Father, 

I Have A Real Problem! I Am Struggling, And I Don't Understand Why! 

Well, I Do Know, But I Find That I Do Not Want To Accept That As My Answer Even Though I Know That I Must If My Soul's Desire Is To Survive And Thrive In Jesus Christ's Holy Name! 

I Don't Like "Loose" Ends! 

I Like To Follow A Neat And Tidy Path To Tighten The Loose And Ease The Tight To Make For A Smooth Surface And A Comfortable Journey And  Existence! 

Father, I Should Know Better - And I Do - Than To Believe That Life In Christ Was Going To Be A Cake-Walk, Knowing The Experimental Relationship Between My Lord And I Would Make Me Privy To Alllll The Answers Before The Questions Are Asked, And I Am Aggravating My Last Nerve Because It Ain't So: Silly Me! 

Sighhh ... 

The Master's Words Said: Pray! Trust! Have Faith! Believe! Wait! Study! Don't Doubt! Endure! Look Up! Live! 

Simple Instructions! 

They Sure Are, But The Butfulness Is Terrific! 

The Unwise Make The Simple Profound! The Wise Make The Profound Simple! 

Lord, By Your Leave, And At Your Request, With Me Expressing My Sincere Need, Please Make Me Wise Even Unto My Own Soul's Salvation! 

I Have No Desire To Be The Fool By Fooling Myself And Saying With The Arrogance Of Profound Ignorance, "There Is No God!" 

You, Lord, Are God Almighty! 

I Know About, And I Personally Know You! 

Oh, That My Knowledge Of You Will Exponentially Grow To Fill My Heart To Overflowing, And To Share That Knowledge With Whosoever Is Willing To Hear The Good News And Act Upon It To Save Themselves From This Untoward Generation! 

Help Us, Lord ... Help Me, To Be Free Indeed ... In Christ Jesus, In Whose Holy Name I Pray And Humbly Plead! I Love You, Lord! 

AMEN!!! 

Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Sharpen The Knife!?!

Psalms 119:11 KJV

Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee. 

Brethren, It's Sad To Say, But ... There Are Enemies In Our Camp, And They Are Base, Bold, And Brazen, And They Are Daringly Pursuing You, Me ... All Of Us! 

They Are Charismatic, Committed To Their Cause, And They Are Not Ashamed To Lift Up Their Leader! 

Sin, Self, And Satan IS Front And Center! 

Bro. Blaze, You Identified Three Characters And Yet You Say "Is!" How Come!?! 

Oh, That Is Simple, Dolly Dinks! If You Knew That Self Was Flouncing Up, Sin Was Revving Up, And Satan Was Prancing Up, You Would Be On Your Guard, Wouldn't You!?!  

I Know That I Would Be! 

Very True, Mobius!

But If Your Adversary Visited You All Gussied Up, Pretty, Nice, And Clean, And Said To You All Mannerly, Friendly, And Kindly, "Hello, My Name Is Sisesa!" You Would Touch Flesh, And Be Tainted, Tempted, And Be Torpedoed, Wouldn't You!?! 

Honestly, Bro. Blaze, I'd Have To Say, Yes! 

But, You Know What, Just In Case You Show Opposition, Sisesa Has A Friendly Friend Named Mo Dralse! There Are Very Few Persons Who Can Resist Them! 

Bro. Blaze, You Named One Person, And Yet You Say Them! What Gives!?! 

Good Question, Bonita! If YOU KNEW That You Were Surrounded By Enemies, You, Valiant, Would Fight To The Death! 

Sure Would, Bro. B! 

But If You Were Approached By A Kindly, Unassuming, Nice Person, You Would, Off-Guard, Welcome Them Into Your Embrace, And Introduce That Person Around, Wouldn't You!?! 

Of Course, Bro. Blaze! And I'd Even Carry Them Into My Home With Love! 

Oh, Wow! Point, And Checkmate! 

Brethren, Meet Money, Drugs, Alcohol, And Sex, Aka Mo Dralse, The Devil's Cookie! 

But, Bro. Blaze, Is There No Hope For Us!?! 

Of Course, Toodles! Sharpen The Knife! 

What Knife!?! I'm Confused! 

Sharpen Your Mind, Toodles! 

The Sharpening Stone Is The Eternal Word! 

Will To Be Safe, Saved, Secure! Will To Do The Will Of God, And Work Until Jesus Christ Comes! 

Brethren, Apply Your Mind, And Lift Up Your Heart To The Lord! 

AMEN!!! 

That Was Profoundly Simple! 

Sure Is! 

Be Present, And Present Arms Aka The Word That Perpetually Works! 

AMEN!!! 

Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Prayer: I Come In Peace!

Proverbs 20:9 KJV

Who can say, I have made my heart clean, I am pure from my sin? 

PRAYER:

Heavenly Father, 

On This Blessed Day, I Come In Peace For Peace With Peace! 

Have Mercy On Me Who Has Been A Perpetual Sinner! I Know This Because The Eternal Word Of Truth From The Truth Plainly Says That I Sin Every Day By Thought, Word, And Deed! 

Please Pardon My Weakness Which Causes Me Not To Place A Leash On My Wayward, Often Wandering Thoughts Which Cause Me To Utter Unfit Words, Which Cause Me To Be A Willing Participant In Executing Ungodly Deeds! 

Please Forgive Me And Help Me By Helping Me To Use The Lock Of Righteousness Purchased For Me By Your Beloved Son Who Gives It To Me Because He Is The Life Of Every Man! 

Father, I Am Blessed With Light From The Light Of Life Who Is My Peace! 

Please Help Me Not To Weaken My Hold By Giving In To Ungodly Doubt And Lying Fear! 

The Word Which Is The Truth From The Word Who Is The Truth Has Promised Me That You Will Never Leave Me Nor Forsake! 

Please Keep Your Word To This Worm Who Needs To Wash In The Cleansing Stream Of Innocent Blood, And Drink From The Water Of Life Daily! 

Please Open My Eyes So That I May See Wonderful Things In Your Words So That My Need May Be Satisfied, And I May Be Made Free Indeed Because Of My Jesus' Great Sacrifice For Me! 

Please Help Me Not To Despise The Unspeakable Gift Because It Is My Heart's Desire To Be Amongst That Great And Blessed Number Who Are The Few, The Called, And The Chosen! 

Today, Dear Father, I Use My Freewill, And My Freedom To Choose, To Choose My Lord Jesus To Be The Captain Of My Life! 

I Choose Today To Walk Under The Blood-Stained Banner Of Prince Immanuel Who Calls Me To Walk Wisely And Rightly, And To Stay On The Strait And Narrow Path To Glory! 

Father, You Have Promised Strength For My Journey! You Have Asked Me To Be Very Courageous: Strengthen Me For The Way That I Must Walk: I Am Weak! 

You Have Said That Your Strength Is Made Perfect When I Am Weak: Please Honor Your Word To This Trembling Flesh! 

Please Give Me A New Heart Now, Even As I Ask For The Holy Spirit To Come Into My Heart And Take Control Of My Life, And To Lead Me And Guide Me, Correct Me, And Comfort Me When I Stumble Or Fall Short Of Your Glory! 

Father, Please Pity Me! 

Help Me Today, Now, To Not Look Back At Babylon Or Covet The Beautiful Babylonian Garments Which Are Stained By And With Sin, And Lead To Destruction! 

I Beseech You To Help Me To Be Contented With Christ And His Gift Of Clean Garments Of White, Garments Of His Righteousness, Which Make It Possible For Me To Enter Your Presence With Thanksgiving And True And Honest Praise! 

Please Help Me To Worship You In Spirit And In Truth Because I Love You, Need You, and Trust Your Unfailing And Infallible Word Which  Works: I Trust In You: I Trust You! 

Please Bless Me Today So That I May Bless Another! 

Father, I Ask For These Few Mercies In The Matchless Name Of King Jesus Who, Alone Saves! AMEN!!! 

Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Before And Before!?!

Hebrews 11:5 KJV

By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had translated him: for before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God. 

Before! 

Not A Soul Responded! 

BEFORE!! 

The Class Started Whizzy-Whizzying! 

For You Young 'Uns, That Means Whispering! 

Bro. Checkup Checked His Roster And Checked Off His Head Count And Everything Checked Out! 

Alright, You Smart Alex! You're All Here, So Please Be Civil And Answer Your Name When Called! 

Bro. Checkup!?! 

Yes, Bramble! 

They Are Not Going To Answer Your Call Until You Call Them Individually! 

Who Is "They,"  Bramble!?! 

The Befores, Bro. Checkup! 

Bramble, Have You Been Sunbathing Without Sunblock Or A Sun-Shade!?! There Is Only One Before! 

That Remark Sent The Whole Class Into Hysterics To The Point Where That Rudifus Called Dingus Lost His Sense Of Decorum And Said Loudly: 

"Some English Teacher He Is Teaching Bible And Does Not Know That We Always Have Two Members Called Before In The Class Because There Are Two Befores In For-Real Life!" 

The Hysterics Died Instantly! 

Bro. Checkup Had Heard, But He Did Not Take Up Dingus' Mouth In Offense! 

Dingus, Would You Like To Take The Floor - Not Literally Take It Away - And Explain To All Of Us About Your Two Members Called Before!?! 

Gladly, Bro. Checkup! 

Brethren, What Does Before Mean To You!?! 

It Simply Means That There Is Someone Or Something In Front Of Me! 

Thank You, Onesimus! 

Yes, Caleb! 

Dingus, Before Also Means That Something Or Someone Was In Existence Before We Who are Currently Present Came Into Being! 

I'm Caleb But Old Testament Caleb Was Before I Am! 

Nicely Said, Caleb! 

Now To Make This Relevant To Our Christian Walk! We May Learn From What And Who Was Before We Are OR We May Choose To Learn From What Is In Evidence AND Not Become The Before For The People Who Are Behind Us! 

It Is All About The Usual Free Will And Freedom To Choose To Be Free In Jesus OR Be Free From Jesus And Be A Free-For-All For Satan And His Demon Horde! 

As For The Befores Who Are Here, There Is Before Belief And Before Destruction! 

These Two Are Wonderful Teachers! 

They Speak Truth In Righteousness For They Are Humble Servants Of And For The Most High God, Willingly Working In His Vineyards, Knowing That Time Is Short, And The Enemy Of Our Souls Is Roaring And Raging! 

Beloved, Be Wise! Before Us Aka In Front Of Us, Free To All Willing To Believe, Love, Trust, And Take Hold Of The Holy Hand, Is Life Everlasting, Available Today! 

Don't Forget To Humble Yourselves, To Pray, To Confess Your Known Sin, And To Repent Of What You Did Before Now! 

Before Us Aka What Happened Before We Were Thoughts Or Sparks, Before We Were A Participant In Time, There Were Those Showing Us The Way To Life By The Truth Of Almighty God AND Those Showing Us Life By Lies, By The Way Of The Adversary Of Souls! 

Please, In The Name Of Jesus Christ The Righteous, Learn The Difference ... And Bless Your Own Soul! 

Jesus Christ Saves! 

Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Look At My Cross!?!

Matthew 10:38 KJV

And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me. 

When Simon Of Cyrene Took Hold Of The Cross Of Christ, We Would Logically Think, Believe, Accept That It Was Because Our Blessed Savior Had Been Failed By Human Strength, And Needed "The Assist!" 

So What's Wrong With That, Ordaine!?! 

Not One Earthless Thing, Patsy! 

I Believe That We Need To Dig A Little Deeper For Another Nugget Of Truth! 

Jesus Had Said That If We Are To Be His Disciples That We Should Take Up Our Cross Daily And Follow Him! 

The Problem Though, Is That We Humans Hate With A Spiteful Hatred, Pain, Problems, Discomfort Of Every Sort, Experiencing Feelings Of Dread, And Fear Of Whatever Stripe! 

Jesus Paid For It All But ... Here's The Kicker! 

You See Simon Following After Jesus Carrying A Cross Not His But Still His, Bearing A Heavy Load Not His But Still His, And All Without Complaint! 

He Was An Outsider ... And An Insider! 

Bearing That Precious Burden For The Master That Was His Burden As Well, Was, Is, Instructive! 

The Weight Of The Cross That Simon Bore Was Nothing Compared To The Weight Sin Of All Mankind That Was On The Savior! 

What Simon Bore Was A Weight Of Wood! For Arguments Sake, Let's Call It A Deconstructed Yoke! 

I Like That! 

Jesus Said "Take My Yoke Upon You And Learn ... And Find Rest For Your Soul!" Aka Your Self! 

Nice Take, Toni! 

The Burden Of Sin, Which, Unconfessed And Unrepented Yokes Us To Satan, Is In Christ! 

The Inconveniences, The Sorrows Of This Life Are Ours To Bear Unless We Take Them To The Lord ... In Prayer! 

However You Look At A Cross, It Is Straight Pain, Pressure, Up And Down, And Side To Side! 

Pain Seeks Relief!

Pressure Seeks Release! 

All Need Jesus! 

Head Of The Cross Looks To The Foot Of The Cross Which Is Planted On The Lord's Footstool Aka The Earth! 

The Outstretched Arms Of The Cross Are An Open Invitation: Bring Your Cross, Your Light Affliction, Into The Forgiving Embrace Of The Lord Of Love, Of Life, Of Light, And Enjoy The Rest That You Need, That You Seek, That Is Freely Available ... And Free To All Who Seek After Christ And His Righteousness! 

Simon Of Cyrene Wasn't Seeking Salvation: He Got What He Did Not Expect, And His Life Was Forever Changed! 

He Assisted The Savior, And Assisted Himself, And Then Multitudes Down Though The Millenia Were Blessed By His Silent Yet Loud Testimony! 

Assist Jesus, Follow Him Without Complaint, Expect The Weight, The Curses, The Praise, And Share The Silent Witness! 

Heaven Hears! 

Heaven Sees! 

Heaven Records! 

Brethren, Please Make Sure That A Sliver Of The Cross Of Christ For All Mankind Has Your Name Written Upon It In Innocent-Blood Red ... In Acceptance Of His Sacrifice! 

Jesus Christ Saves So That We, To Sin, Do Not Have To Cave! 

Mine, Mine, Mine, Jesus ... Is Mine! 

Hallelujah! 

Sing To Jesus! 

AMEN!!!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: The Shower!

2 Corinthians 5:17 KJV

Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. 

... That Shower Irritated Me! 

But, Hanida, A Shower Is Supposed To Invigorate You, Not Irritate You! 

Well, You Tell That To That Spaugie Shower That Hammie Has In That Staycation-Wannabe That He Is Allegedly Operating! 

Now, Take The Word Of The Lord For A For Instance! That Good Word Invigorates, Stimulates, Educates, And By The Lord Jesus Who Alone Saves, Irradiates And Fumigates! 

You Forgot The Biggest One, Hanida! It Irritates And Makes One Irate! 

So, Tell Me Plain, Plessy, How Do You Expect To Get A Worthy Pearl Without Irritation By The Grain Of Sand Called Truth, And A Desire By You Aka The Oyster, Irate, Vigorously Attempting To Rid Itself Of That Misery-Causing Irritation!?! 

You, Humbled By The Lord's Good Grain Of Sand-Truth In The Inward, Most Sensitive Part, Seeking Known-Sure Relief, Reach For The Wonderful Counselor, The Great Physician, The Savior Who, Alone, Helps, Heals, And Saves, And By The Holy Spirit Who Leads Us Into All Truth, Seals At The Day Appointed! 

For A So-Called Crazy Person, Hanida, You Make An Awful Lot Of Sense! 

Why, Thank You, Lancelot, But The Only Crazy That I Am Is In Love With The Lord Jesus! 

Some People Don't Like That But That's Their Circus And Their Elephants To Clean Up After! 

The Lord Jesus Cleaned Up Me And My Mess And All It Cost Me, If You Want To Get Technical, Was CRA! The Naysayers Added On The ZY! 

Hanida, You Never Told Us About That Or What The CRA Stands For! 

C And R Are Confession And Repentance: That Stopped The Irritation! 

The "A" Was Acceptance Of The Lord Jesus Christ's Unspeakable Gift Of Life In Him To All Who Believe, And Do So By Willing Obedience! 

Call Me Crazy: I Call It A Pleasurable Privilege! 

Man! 

No, Dodi! It Is The Lord Jesus! 

I Hear You, Hanida! You Speak Truth! 

Yup, I Speak Jesus! 

AMEN!!!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Clean Heart!?!

Philippians 2:12 KJV

Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling. 

I Love The Lord! 

So!?! 

I Need The Lord! 

And!?! 

I'm Not Ashamed! 

Big Whoo Hoo! 

Sooo, Camilla, You Seem To Have A Problem With Me Having Made Jesus Christ The Lord My Choice ... My First, Last, And Only Choice! 

Yes, I Do, Daliah! Every Time You Open Your Old Foolish Mouth, All We Ever Hear Is Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Like You've Got Him On Your Mind! 

Well, I Do, Ms. Camilla, And You Should, Too! We Are Living In Serious Times ...! 

... And Thaaar Sheee Blows! 

Who Is Blowing, Camilla!?! 

Bro. Leeder!!! We Didn't Hear Or See You Come In! 

Don't You Mean That YOU Didn't Hear Or See Me Come In!?! 

Oh, Umm, Oh, My! 

Nice Retort, Camilla! 

Brethren, It Is Apparent That Even Though We Are All Here Because We Call Ourselves Christians, And Are Allegedly Following Our Master, Jesus Christ The Lord, Wherever He Goes, Some Of Us Are Not Performing True To The Class! 

Bro. Leeder, What Does "Not Performing True To The Class Mean!?!" 

Good Question, Olivia! 

Listen Up, Beloved, And Make Every Effort To Internalize What I'm About To Say! 

Scripture Tells Us About The Galatian Church Being Easily Swayed, And Apostle Paul's Stern Rebuke Calling Them "Foolish" And Calling Them Back To The Old Waymark AND THEN Efficiently And Effectively Cursing The Wicked Ones Who Had Been Teaching Them, If You Will, To Seek Satisfaction in Sin! 

But There's No Satisfaction In Sin, Bro. Leeder! 

True, Radica, And We Should All Have Learnt That Hard, But Necessary, Lesson By Now! 

We Are Also Told In The Scripture Of Truth About The Berean Church Who "Searched The Scriptures To See If These Things Were So!" 

Dahlia, By Working Her Daily Gift Of Faith, Is Performing Like The Berean Church! Those Faithful Few Fervently Followed The Prescription Which Camilla, By Her Harsh Words, Is Seeking To Tear Down! 

Camilla, I Heard Everything That You Said To Dahlia To Her Face Today, And I Also Read Your Vile Remarks Posted ...! 

... But, But ...! 

... You Thought That That Post Was "Private" And Shared Amongst Like-Minded Discontented And "Progressive Christians" Who Believe That "Depending On That Jesus For Everything Is Highly Overrated!" 

Bro. Leader, Please Don't Share Anymore Of That Post! 

Why, Camilla!?! 

You Were Very Proud Writing And Particularly Pleased Sharing It, So Why Can't We Share It Here ... Amongst True Believers To See If We Need To Dispense With @RealJesusChristIsKing And Put On @RealAnotherJesus And Imbibe @RealAnotherGospel As You Sooo "Loudly" Commanded In Your Sooo Very Popular Post To The Numerous Malcontents Who Follow You! 

Bro. Leeder, Please Don't Shame Me Like This! 

Shame You, Camilla!?! 

We Are True Believers In Jesus Christ So We Don't Go About Shaming People Even If They Have No Problem Shaming Us! 

Our Task Is To Show People The Way To Life Through Our Example ... And The Word Of Our Testimony! 

We Have No Need To Play The Shame Game! Shamers Have That Monopoly And They Are Free To Have And To Hold It From This Day Forward! 

Camilla, Only Jesus Christ Is Love, And He Alone Saves! Please Forget The Gaslighting, The Likes That Aren't Lovely Or Profitable, And Get Back To The God Who Calls You To Life Eternal, The God Who Loves You Personally! Lean On Him And He Will Lift You Up! 

Ms. Dahlia, I'm Truly Sorry For Mistreating You! 

Apology Accepted, Camilla! 

Dear Lord, Please Forgive Me Of My Trespasses Against Your Holiness, And My Wandering Into Folly! 

AMEN!!! 

Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: The Lover!?!

John 14:23 KJV

Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him. 

Mavis Straughn, Get Out Of My Face Always Talking About Your "Lover" That Not One Person Has Ever Seen You Out With, Or Who Has Ever Broken Voice With Anybody Here! You Are A Regulation Liar So Do Us All A Favor And Bless Your Behind With A Hard Sit Down! 

Kareless Harpin, You Do Yourself The Favor And Quietly Take A Load Off Your Feet, And Listen To A Few Home Truths!

Before I Start, Please Put On Your Peepers Because Your Eyesight Is ... Well ... Dim! 

Brethren, Our Dear Sis. Kareless, Is Operating Under A Misapprehension When She Says That I Do Not Have A Lover! 

She Doesn't Know The Half Of My Story But, Today, Here And Now, She Will Hear The Half That Has Never Been Told! 

I Have A Lover! 

He Doesn't Just Desire My Body: He Touches Me Body, Mind, And Spirit, And When I Can't Feel Him, I Trust That He Is Near To Me Because He Is Under Me, Over Me, Behind Me, Beside Me, And Before Me! 

Beloved, He Touches Me In Places I Didn't Know I Had, And He Leads To Rest Beside Still Waters For Real, And Makes Me Lie Down In Green Pastures To Rest In Perfect Peace ... In Him! 

I Have Never, Ever, Been So Loved, So Satisfied, So Provided For In A Relationship In My Life! I Think About Him, And I Find Myself Smiling To Myself! 

Because Of Him, I Now Know What Happiness Is ... And What It Means! 

Can You, Any Of You, Remember A Relationship Or Are In A Relationship Where Your Lover Is There For You, Even In The Presence Of Your Enemies Without Your Having To Plead With Them Not To Start A Fight!?! 

One Day He Gently Told Me That "The Weapons Of Our Warfare Are Not Carnal!" Aka Not Manmade! 

My Eyebrows Flew Up And My Mouth Dropped Open! 

I Mean, What Else Was There Besides Insults, Bad Word/Bad Words, Rocks, Sticks, Knives, And Guns, And The Like!?! 

He Smiled And Lovingly Said: "The Living Word Works: Speak Peace!" 

That Closed My Mouth And Opened My Understanding! 

He, For Me, Was A Keeper! 

He Loves Me Beyond My Human Understanding, And Because I Desire To Know Him In All His Beauty And In His Glory Because I Truly Love My Lover, The Lover Of My Soul, We Walk Through The Word! 

You Know, He Sent His Spirit, His Holy Spirit, To Teach Me, And Lead Me Into All Truth, And Bless God, I Am Living In Love With The Only, The True Lover Of My Soul! 

I Need Him And I Don't Care Who Knows It! 

His Gifts Are Good And Perfect! 

He Comes To Me Whenever I Call And, Best Of All, Our Relationship Isn't About Giving And Getting! 

It Is All About Being ... Being There ... In The Moment ... Present ... Involved ... Active! 

He's Everything To Me! I Love Him! 

His Name Is Jesus Christ, Lord ... To The Glory Of The Father! 

I Pray For Each Of You A Lover Like Mine! 

Thank You! 

Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Doubtful Food!

John 6:57 KJV

As the living Father hath sent me, and I live by the Father: so he that eateth me, even he shall live by me. 

... Food Indeed! Drink Indeed! Cleansing Flood! To Whom Do These Pertain!?! 

Yes, Minnit! 

Bro. Drumm, Those Statements All Point To Our Blessed Jesus Who Said That His Body Was Food Indeed And His Blood Was Drink Indeed! His Precious Blood Is The Cleansing Flood By Which We, Willing, Are Made Clean! 

Very Good, Minnit! 

Now, Brethren, Having Covered All That, Tell Me, Please, What Is Doubtful Food!?! 

Doubtful Food!?!!! 

Yes, Doubtful Food! 

Bro. Drumm, I Believe That I Can Shine Some Light On That Question! 

And Who Might You Be, Stranger!?! 

That Is My Name, Bro. Drumm, And Some People Also Call Me Pilgrim! I Answer To Either Name! 

Say On, Pilgrim ... Stranger! 

Brethren, You Heard My Names: All Of Us Who Call Ourselves Christians, Committed Christians, Should So Be Called! But, To The Point At Hand: Doubtful Food! 

As Minnit Said, That Jesus Said, His Body, His Flesh, Is Food Indeed! Think About This: How Often Do You Eat!?! 

Once, Twice, Thrice A Day ... Plus Snacks ... For Most Of The Population!?! 

How Long Does That Food Last Aka Comfort And Sustain You!?! 

Come On, Pilgrim! We Eat Food At Least A Couple Times A Day, And We Eat Food Every Single Day ... Because We Need It, Have It ... And, Truth Be Told, We Desire It! 

My Name Is Liberty! I Am A Free Agent And I, Liberty, Can Use My Liberty To Do Whatever I Want To Do, Including Eat Doubtful Which, Truth Be Told, is Lawlessness, Which Is A Sin! 

Brethren ... Beloved, Liberty Makes An Astute Point, And I Ask This Question: Why Would You Sin Against Your Own Soul And Live Off Stale Food When The Living Word Of Our God Is A Grand Buffet Of Daily Deliciousness For The Blessed People Of God To Bless Themselves Continually!?!

 The Answer Is, Should Be, We Wouldn't! 

Beloved, Take A Minute And Listen To The Silent Drum Calling You, Reminding You That As A Stranger, A Pilgrim, You Must Use Your Liberty To Eat The Good Food Of The Word Constantly ... Daily! 

Doubtful Food Makes For Doubtful Deliverance! 

The Lord Provides For Us Daily So We Should  Eat His Good Food Daily! 

Remember, Remember, Don't Ever Forget: YOU Are What YOU Eat! 

Lord, Help Us! 

He Will!!! 

AMEN!!! 

Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Words Don't Discriminate!

1 Corinthians 10:23 KJV

All things are lawful for me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but all things edify not.

By Your Own Words You Will Be Commended AND By Your Words YOU Will Be Condemned!

Well, Sweet-Girl, Samallorie Found Out! She Was Walking Around Taking Smack About People, And Poking People With Her Pointer, And Did She Ever Find Out That She Stood Accused By Three Of Her Own Digits! 

It Was Glorious To See Her Crumble Under The Weight Of Her Self-Own! 

Mastiff, Samallorie Looked Whole And Sounded Fine When I Saw Her About An Hour Ago, So I Don't Know What You're Talking About! 

Bro. Bass, Would You Tell Us About Accusers, Commendation, And Condemnation!?! This Business With Samallorie Sounds Interesting ... From A Biblical Standpoint, Of Course! 

Sure Can, Remmie! 

Look Who Just Walked In! 

Please Come And Join Us, Samallorie! 

Hello, Bro. Bass, Brethren! 

Why So Glum, Samallorie!?! 

My Mouth! 

I Did A Satan And It Was The Pitts! 

Or A Pit Stop, You Mean! 

I Hear You, Bonita! 

I Learnt A Hard, Harsh Lesson Today About The Red Rag Raging, And Then I Got Smacked Hard By The Living Scripture Which Only Speaks The Truth! 

I Looked At Someone And Wished That They Would Raise Their Standard Aka Step Up Higher When, Lo And Behold, The Holy Spirit Spoke, Asking The Simple Question: Why Don't YOU Raise Your Standard Higher!?! 

I Nearly Fell Over With Shock! 

Obviously, If I Need To Raise My Standard, I Am Falling Short Of The Grade! 

I Felt Gutted ...! 

... Samallorie, We Do Not Deal In Feelings! 

I Know, Bro. Bass, But, In That Moment, I Remembered The Accuser Of The Brethren! 

I Was Being His Ally ...! You Know ... I Was Doing His Dirty Work Instead Of Trying  To Lift Someone Up To The Lord Christ! 

My Thoughts Went Wild: He That Is Without Sin ... Let Your Words Edify ... Grant Grace ... Lift Up The Fallen And I, Crushed, Said, In Tears, Teach Me Thy Way, Oh, Lord! 

I Understood, And, Like Apostle Paul, I Said, Who Shall Deliver Me From The Body Of This Death!?! I Pointed One Superior-Looking Finger At A Person And Three Ordinary, Blunt Fingers Expertly Slayed And Laid Me Out Like They Were Lightning-Round Chefs! 

Brethren, I Saw My Self For Myself And My Self Needed Awareness! I Humbled Myself, And I Prayed, And I Beseeched The Lord To Help Me To Turn From My Wicked Ways So That He Would Hear From Heaven And Forgive My Sin And Heal Our Land ... Heal Me! 

Beloved, Loose Lips Sink Ships! 

Unkind Words Are A Self-Made Millstone For Me And An Out Of Place, Out Of Time Milestone To My Hearers! 

All I Heard After That Was "Let My Words Edify!" 

Bro. Bass, I, I ...! 

... It's Okay, Samallorie! 

Brethren, I Sincerely Hope And Pray That This Will Be A Lesson To Us All! Words Have Weight! 

Words Work ... Overtime! 

Words Don't Discriminate! 

Show Your Red Clothing And Other Helpful Objects: Show Your Red Rag, Your Tongue, To Bless! 

Peace!

Stop Twisting Yourself Into A Pretzel!

1 Peter 5:2 KJV

Feed the flock of God which is among you, taking the oversight thereof, not by constraint, but willingly; not for filthy lucre, but of a ready mind; 

Brethren, Just "STOP!" The Lord Does Not Forget His Own! 

Bro. Luxe, Just Stop What!?! 

Lacey, Brandon, Tunnup, All Of You, All Of Us, Stop Twisting Yourself Into A Pretzel! 

Bro. Luxe!?! 

Yes, Chauncey! 

I Don't Pretend To Speak For Anyone But Myself When I Sincerely State That I Do Not Nor Have Ever Twisted Myself Into A Pretzel For Any Reason! 

I See, I See! 

So Says You All!?!

Yes, Bro. Luxe!!! 

May I Stare You All In The Face And Boldly Call You "Liars!?!" 

Bro. Luxe, Control Yourself! 

What For, Sis. Nugent!?! You Included, We Have All Spent The Lord's Time Doing The Devil's Business! 

You Had Better Back Up Your Mouth Or Face My Wrath, Bro. Luxe! 

Oh, I Can Back My Mouth Alright Sis. Nu! 

What Did, What Does, The Good Lord Require Of His People!?! 

Oh, That's Easy, Bro. Lu! 

We Are Required, Commanded, Expected, To Walk By Faith Throughout Our Day Using The Faith Which We Received New For That Day Alone! 

Well Said, Laurita! 

Does Anybody Have A Seed By Chance!?! 

What Chance Would That Be, Bro. Luxe!?! Luck And Chance!?! Happenstance!?! Circumstance!?! 

Not At All! It's Greed! 

Merciful Powers, Bro. Luxe! What Has Gotten Into You Today!?! 

The Spirit Of The Living God, Sis. Vents! I Was Met With A Large Dose Of Reality Check On The Way To You Can't Be Serious, And I Was Convicted Of My Sin, And Convinced Of Righteousness! 

Oh, Dear! 

Well Said, Maizie! 

The Lord Is Neither A Man Nor A Liar! He Says ... And That Is That! So, In His Name, Holy, Blessed Forever, Why Are We Allowing Ourselves To Be Entangled With The World's Worthless Doings And ... Twisting Ourselves Into Pretzels To Plant "A Seed Of Faith!?!" 

Huh!?! Ummm ...! Ahhh ...! 

The Only "Seed" Any Christ-Following Christian Should Be Handling Is "Faith ... The Size Of A Mustard Seed" Which Scripture Tells Us Can Move Mountains! 

Oh, Dear! 

If You Say That One More Time, Maizie, I Choose Not To Be Responsible For The Outcome! Well ... I'll Be Responsible But ...! 

Stop Giving The Lord's Gift Of Your Increase To These Sticky-Fingered Varmints Who Labor By Leasing Aka Lies! 

Believe The Word Of The Lord In Toto Aka Completely, Totally, And These Suction-Fingered Liars Will Have To Seek New Employment! 

We Live By Faith, Not Sight! We Trust And Obey, Not Court Blight! We Stand Up To Be Counted, And We Do Not Tempt The Living God By Pretzelizing Our Walk With The Lord Christ Through Greed For Gain Which The Lord Did Not Give To Us! 

Remember, Beloved, Faith Without Works Is Dead! Faith Is Dead When It Needs Sight! 

See To Yourselves! 

Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Playing With SIN!

Psalm 92:13 KJV

Those that be planted in the house of the LORD shall flourish in the courts of our God.

Bashee, You Had A Job To Do But, Instead, You Left The House Of The Lord Dirty And Went Outside Fornicating With Sin And, When You Returned Euphoric, Bubbly With "Joy", Satisfied With Satisfaction, You Were Rendered Somnomulent! 

When You Awoke From Your Drugged Sleep, You Bragged To Your Like-Minded Friends About Having Been Healed! 

I Ask You Plainly: "Is There No Balm In Gilead!?! Is There No Physician HERE!?!" 

But ... But ... But ... ! ... 

Are You A Cow Or A Billy Goat!?! 

And Just In Case Any Of You Wretches Want To Point Fingers And Make Snide Remarks, Don't! 

You, Me, We Are All Guilty As Sin, Guilty Of Sin And Cannot, Should Not, Must Not Point Fingers, Any Fingers, At Another Because We Are All Guilty Of The Same Sinful Behavior! 

Don't You Know That Character, Performance, And Service Are A Thing!?! 

Your Character Is You! 

Your Name Says Everything About You! 

Your Name And Your Character Are Intertwined: Who Are You!?! What Do You Do!?! 

With Whom Are You Associating!?! For Good!?! For Ill!?! For Almighty God's Glory!?! To Your Disgrace!?! 

Your Good Performance, Done As Though You Are Working For The Master, Is Memorialized In The Book Of Remembrance In Heaven! 

Service, Willing Service, Blesses The Great King And Satisfies Your Heart Knitted To Him! 

Are We Going To Keep Stepping Out ... To Sin, Or Are We Going To Step Up To Salvation, And Clean The Rubbish, The Idols, Out Of The Lord's House, And Return It To Being A House Of Worship!?! 

We Have Choices, And We Have The Chance, The Opportunity, To Make Our Wrong Things Right! Let's Not Squander It! 

We Are Loved, Blessed, And Benefited By The King ... Our King Jesus! 

Now, Let's Bow Head, Heart, And Knee, And Extend Our Hand To Him Who Helps And Heals, And Gives Us The Blessed Hope For A Personal Home In Heaven! 

The Trumpet Will Sound! 

Please Make Sure, By Grace Through Faith, For Love, That You Are Washed And Ready! 

Remember, Beloved, The Ten Virgins! 

Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: The Invitation!

Revelation 7:14 KJV

... And he said to me, These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. 

The Invitation Came! 

It Simply Stated: "Come Unto Me! Take My Yolk Upon You! Learn Of Me! Follow Me! Find Rest! Come And Dine!" 

How Meh! 

You Would Think That Someone Billed As "The King Of Glory" Could Afford The Razzle Dazzle Of Paid Writers Who Would Pull Out All The Stops To Appeal To My Carnal Nature To Get My Heart Racing, And My Worldly Desire To Be Seen Be Realized! 

Nope! 

This Invitement Was Blah, Plain, Pedestrian! No Bells, No Whistles, No Pretty Paper, No Colors Radiant To Oooh, And Aaah Over! 

It Was Plain White! 

It Didn't Even Have A Red Border On It To Urge My Attention! 

It Was, Well, Pedestrian, Pedestrian Aka BohhhRINGGG! 

Now, THAT Caught My Attention! 

It Was, To Me, Saying, Take It Or Leave It! 

It Had No Beauty, No Comeliness, To Make Me Want To, With Longing Heart, Decide To Accept That Take It Or Leave It Invitation! 

Strangely Enough, I Could Feel My Jaded Heart Starting To Feel, Well, A Feeling! 

With Now Trembling Fingers, I Opened The Simple Box That Accompanied The Invitation! 

White ... Again! 

Inside That Box Was The Most Beautiful Robe I Have Ever Seen! 

White ... Again! 

That Robe Of White Was Whiter Than Any Human Act Of Engineering Could Ever Accomplish! 

The Feel!?! 

Clean! 

The Smell!?! 

Clean! 

My Heart!?! 

Unclean! 

Strangely, My Known-Rotten, Sin-Polluted Heart Started To Turn Over! 

How!?! 

Don't Know! 

Why!?! 

I Felt ... Him! 

I Am Hearing His ... Heart!?! 

How Strange! How Beautiful! 

His Name Is The Truth And I ... Me, The Biggest Sinner, Liar, Thief, Ingrate, Self-Aggrandizer, Serpent-Lover And Battle-Buddy, Was Cracking Up! 

I Lifted Out That Delicious-Smelling Robe Of Hope Powered By The Faith That I Had For Years Less-Counted, Called Discounted, Ignored, Denigrated Because It Laid My Sin Bare, And With Suddenly Swift Movements, I Donned That Beautiful Garment, And All The Hardened Parts Of Me Went Crashing To The Floor! 

My Heart Clutched! 

I Thought I Was Going To Die! 

But, No ...! 

I Am Alive! 

I Have A Lively Hope! 

I Was, I Am Going To Cross The River! 

I Was, I Am Going To See The King ... Of Love! The King ... Of Life! 

I Am Clean! 

I Am Going To Stand Before Him And Not One Blemish Will He See! 

Praise, My Soul, The King ... Of Heaven Because He Will Not Say To Me: "How Come You Are Here Without The Garment Of Grace That I Purchased For You And Had Delivered To You!?!" 

Oh, My Soul, I Am Blessed And I Know It! 

The King ... The Shepherd Of Rest ... Will Not Say To His Servants Concerning Me: "Cast This Unwise Person Into Outer Darkness Where There Is Wailing And Gnashing Of Teeth!" 

Thank You, My Savior, My King, My Lord, My God, The Great Physician Who Gave Me Ointment To Heal My Blinded Eyes ... I Can See; The Great Refiner From Whom I Purchased Imperishable Gold Well-Tried In The Fire ... I Am Rich; And That White Garment From The Heavenly Habadasher  With Which I Am Clothed ...!  

... No One Can See My Shame! 

Hallelujah, I Sing To The King! I Bring Me As Tribute To Him! 

Thank You, Dear Father, For Calling Me To Love The King, For Giving Him To Me, And For Giving Me A Willing Spirit, And Engendering In Me The Spirit Of Cooperation With Which I Chose, I Choose, To Use To Answer The Call To Everlasting Life! 

Thank You, Lord, For Helping Me Not To Despise Simple Things! 

I Now Have A Home Not Made With ... Hands! 

Hallelujah! I Will Sing Of My Redeemer! 

Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Fix! Discard! Stand Up Straight!

Matthew 6:9 KJV

After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. 

Rolllllll Callllll!!! 

Benign! Behave! Discard! Fixe! Waiveh Ring! Homer! S. U. Straight! 

Here, Here, Here, Here, Here, Here! That's Only Six Responses! 

S. U. Straight!!?! 

S. U. STRAIGHT!?! 

Hey, Green Hat!?! Isn't Your Name S. U. Straight!?! 

No, It's Not, Bro. Illiant! 

Bro. Illiant Is Not My Name! 

Sooo, You Desire Your Correct Appellation But Want Me To Answer To What Is Not My Name!?! Seems Somehow Out Of Order, Don't You Think!?! 

What's Your Name, T. Cher!?! 

My Name Is Bro. Brilliant! 

Pleased To Formally Meet You! My Name Is Stand Up Straight! I Live As I Believe, Speak As I Glean From The Eternal Word, And Walk Wise For My Own Self In The Presence Of My Lord Jesus, The King Who Frees And Saves The Willing To Be Free Indeed In Him! 

Would You Call The Lord Jesus By The Name Of A False God And Honestly Expect Him To Answer Your Prayers!?! 

Of Course Not, Stand Up Straight! That Would Be Blasphemous! 

So Why Are You Denigrating My Given Name!?! 

I Sincerely Apologize For The Slight: It Was Not Intentional! 

Apology Accepted! 

Bro. Brilliant, May I Say A Few Words To The Brethren!?! 

Go Right Ahead, Stand Up ... Straight! 

Brethren, We Are Becoming Very Lax, Even Slack, In The Manner Of Our Address To And Of Him Who Is Lord, God, Judge, Savior, Redeemer, Forever Friend, And Kind King Who Loves Us With An Everlasting Love From Which We Can Never Be Separated! 

Is This The Person, The God Alone Who Is Wise, Which You Want To Call Bruh, My Dog, Your  Homie, Bad-Word His Name Bad-Word!?! 

We Ought To Be Ashamed Of Ourselves, And The Unseemly, Disrespectful, Derogatory Manner In Which We Speak His Name And Cause Him To Be Spoken About In The World And In The Church! 

Stop It! 

Your Name Is Your Character! Your Character Determines Your Altitude ... And Your Final Destination! 

Our Lord Jesus Christ Died As The Lord Jesus Christ, And Rose Up From Death As The Lord Jesus Christ, And Ascended Into Heaven As The Lord Jesus Christ, And Is Right Now In The Most Holy Place Of The Heavenly Sanctuary Interceding For His People In The Presence Of His Father, And Our Father, As High Priest, And Advocate, And He Is King! 

He Is Lord And God To The Glory Of The Father! 

Please Fix Your Mind And Carve Your Words Concerning Him With The Respect Due To Him As Creator-God, King Of Glory, Judge Of All Flesh, And Humanity's Blessing Arm And Heart! 

Beloved, You, Despite What You Want To Believe, May Learn Something Vital From Idolators: They Elevate The Name, Embrace The Worship, Pray Without Ceasing, Praise Like Their Lives Depend Upon It, And Stand Up Straight To Be Counted As True Believers In A Useless Object! 

Our Lord Jesus Christ, Almighty God, Is Real: How Are You Standing Up With, And For Him!?! 

Will A Challenge Cause You To Waiver!?! 

Will You Fix Your Attitude And Change Your Altitude!?! 

Only You Can Make That Decision For You! 

Think On This Thing! 

Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: At The Name Of Jesus!

John 20:31 KJV

But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name. 

At, For, In, And With The Name Of Jesus Christ Our Only King, Every Knee Shall Bow To Give Him Honor, Glory, And Unfeigned Praise! 

If You Say So, Sorrel! 

I Say So, Samdhie, And The Immortal Word Of The King Of Glory Says So ... Well, That Living Word Said It First, And I Am Agreeing And Repeating It Because It Is True! 

Sooo, Some Old-Time Book Says Something And You Take It As Solid, And You Run With It And Spout Off To People Like You Are Getting Paid!?! 

Samdhie, Samdhie, Samdhie ... Tsk, Tsk, Tsk! Oh, How I Feel For You! 

Feel For Me, Sorrel!?! 

Yes, Samdhie, I Seriously Feel For You That Nobody Loved You Enough To Tell You Of All The Goodies Of Mercy, Love, Grace And Truth Which Are Contained In That Old Book That You Are Diminishing ... For Lack Of Knowledge! 

That Same Old Book Speaks Well Of You When It Says: "My People Are Destroyed For Lack Of Knowledge!" 

See You, Samdhie! 

Wait Up, Sorrel! Wait Upppp! Who Is it In That Old Book Who Is Calling People "My People" Like They Belong To Them!?! 

Oh, You Poor Dear! You Have Been Seriously Robbed Of A Saving Education! 

Come Let Me Give You A Cuddle To Help You Get Over Your Pain! 

I'm Not In Pain, Sorrel! 

You Will Be, Samdhie! 

Oh, Whatever! Just Give Me The Facts! 

Very Well, Samdhie! 

The Speaker Is The Creator Of All Things, The King Of Earth And Glory, The Judge ...! 

... Judge!?! 

Judge! The Judge Of All Flesh! We, You, Too, Will Be Judged Based On What We Have Done In The Flesh! 

You Will Be Judged By What's In That Very Book: What You Knew And Rejected! What You Had The Opportunity To know And Refused To Know! What You Knew About And Refused To Act Upon, OR Simply Chose To Ignore As In Chose To Ignore Because It Aggravated Your Nerves, Stepped On Your Corns, Or Simply Did Not Jive With Your Lifestyle! 

Come On, Sorrel, You Can't Be Serious! 

Samdhie, Sweetheart, I Am Eighteen-Wheeler Head-On Collision Massive Stroke Aortic Valve Shredding Impossible To Be Saved Serious! 

There Are No Jokes In The Bible! 

Stop Scaring Me, Sorrel! 

I'm Not Scaring You, Samdhie! I'm Shining Light Into The Darkness Of Your Delusion Which Says That The Lord's Book Is Useless! 

I Didn't Exactly Call It Useless, Sorrel! 

You Didn't Call Is Useful Either, Samdhie! 

That "Old" Book Is Ever New, And Is Good For Every Age and Stage Of Mankind's Development ... Our Personal Development! 

Sorrel, I'm Sorry! Would You Tell Me About The Creator!?! 

Sure Can! 

When Can We Meet!?! 

How About Right Now!?! 

I Thought You Had ... Oh, Never Mind! 

Good! 

Jesus Christ, The Creator, Is Our Savior, And We Are Sealed Against The Day Of His Wrath Against The Rejectors Of His Free-To-All Salvation By His Sweet Holy Spirit, And We Live Forever In His Father's House Where There Are Many Mansions, Where He Is Gone To Prepare A Place For Each One Of Us Who Accepts His Unspeakable Gift Of Eternal Life With Him, No Force, No Fury! 

One Thing, Though! You Must Give Up Sin, Self, Selfishness, And Satan! 

Give Up Satan, Sorrel!?! I've Never Had Satan! 

Oh, Samdhie, Your Case Is Worse Than I Thought! 

Samdhie, You Are A Sinner By Birth, And By Choice, And By Practiced Lifestyle, And You Sin By Thought, Word, And Deed Daily! 

Oh, Sorrel, You Make My Situation Sound So Very Hopeless! 

Far From It, Samdhie! 

Jesus Christ The Righteous Is Calling You So That Of Hell You'll Only Have An Arial View! 

Continue Walking In Your Own Selfish Way, And For Your Own Sins You Will Have To Pay! 

If I Don't Pay For My Own Sins, Sorrel, Who, Pray Tell, Is Foolish Enough To Pay For Them!?! 

The Creator, Your Personal Savior ... If You Ask Him: He Already Died To Pay For the Cost Of Your  Transgressions! 

You Mean That The Lord Jesus Is My Substitute, My Body Double, Like In The Movies!?! 

Yes, But With Real Blood, Pain, And Ultimate Consequences! 

Lord Jesus, Save Me! 

AMEN!!! 

He Will! 

Enjoy His Peace! 

Let Me Get My Hands Full!!!
