Pride Can't Wear The Lord Christ's Crown

Too Worldly-Wise To Need The Win Over Sin
To Mighty To Be Mindful Of Wrong-Way Walking
And
Too Illuminated To Be By Truth Teachable
Don't Bow Before The King:
They Are Wearing Pearls
And
"The Emperor's New Clothes"
And
Are Willingly Wallowing In The Muck And Mire With The Swine! 
They Refuse Jesus Christ's Offer Of The New Birth! 

To Get To The Father's Glory
One Must Go Through Jesus Christ
The Lowly, Beloved Only Son! 
To Get The Righteous Man's Crown
One Must Be A Participant In The Good News Gospel Story! 
To Be Served At The Welcome Home Table
One Must Have First Served The Lord And His Fellowman
And
To Be Lifted Up To The Lord's Glory
One Must Be Faithful To The Always-Faithful King
Who Is, For His Beloved, Enduringly-Faithful Saints
Personal Places Preparing! 

Faithfulness To The Lord Christ
Is Its Own Reward ...



1 CORINTHIANS 1:9 KJV "God [is] faithful, by whom ye were called ...



We Are Called To Fellowship ... Communion
Feasting And Celebration
To Live Forevermore
With The Faithful God Who Is The I AM! 

While We Live, We Are Present! 
When We Die, We Are Passed From Time Into Eternity 
And Yet
Through It All
The Lord Christ Is Ever-Present 
Being Our Rock Of Refuge
Our Strong Tower Of Defence
Our Shelter In Calm And In Storm
Our Hope
Our Help
Our Salvation
Our Shepherd Of Rest
And
Our Only Hope For The Glory Unto Which We Are Called! 

Our Great God Cannot Lie! 
His Hands Are Not Short That 
He Cannot Perform His Promises
And 
His Ear Is Not Deaf To Our Cries 
Because 
He Is Touched By The Feelings Of Our Infirmities
By All That Concerns Us! 

Our God Is The Promise-Keeping God Who IS ... Here 
To Bless, Save, Reveal Truth
Revive And Reform Us
And 
Seal Us Against The Wrath To Come! 

Brethren, Beloved,

Jesus Christ Cannot Fail You 
So Be Faithful To Him: Believe Him
Receive Him
And 
Be Blessed To Live With Him Forevermore! 
He Personally Loves YOU
And
He Daily Gives Unto You A Daily Ration Of His Faith
To Use To Each Day To Get Home To Him!

You Are Not Called To Believe The Impossible! 
You Are Called To Set Aside Self
To Humble Your Willful Yourself
To Use Your Gift To Bless The Lord
Bless Yourself
And
Bless Others Each Day
As You Walk With Lord
To The Land Called Glory! 

Beloved, 

Self Is A Willing Sinner! 
Christ's Sure Salvation Makes The Confessed 
And 
Repentant Sinner
A Saint Of Almighty And Jesus The Christ! 

Victory ... Over Sin, Self, Satan, Hell
And
The Last Enemy, Death
Was Purchased For Us By Our Savior-King
And Is
Guaranteed To Be Achieved By Us
Through The Faith That He Gives Unto Us
Which, Used, Cannot Ever Fail! 

Please Look Up To Jesus, Our Lord Christ
And
By His Loving Care
Your Needy Soul Abundantly Feed! 
Give Him Your Will To Control!
Let No One
No Habit
No Sin
Steal Either Your Joy In Jesus
Nor Your Purchased-At-Infinite-Cost Crown! 

Peace!

Pride Will Never With Faith Treat
Because
Pride Is The Presumptuous Sinner's
Precarious Perch
From Which He Refuses To Descend
Because That Would Mean
His Unprofitable High-Mindedness
And
Gross Disobedience Must End!

from 
SIN 
RUDELY 
and
ABRUPTLY
