Self-Utilized Backbone Required!

The Newest Growing Trend In Popular Culture 

Is 

To Place The Onus, The Duty, Upon Others 

To Be Your Personal Backbone 

To Stop You 

From Giving In To The Unbridled Lusts Of Your Flesh 

By Depriving Others Of Their Own Rights Of 

Self-Determination! 

Beloved, 

Being Temperate Aka Having Personal Self-Control

Knowing When Enough Is Sufficient 

And

Accepting "Thus Saith The Lord!" 

All Make For The Perfect Deterrent 

No Matter What "Difficulty" We May Face! 

Think About It ...

 Sin Abounds! 

The Moral Law 

And 

The Health Laws Are Available 

And 

We Are Encouraged To Make Good Use Of Them!

 

The Lord Jesus Could Have Removed Sin 

And

Temptation From Our Presence: He Didn't! 

Jesus Christ ... The Righteous Judge ... Simply Says

 

Exercise My Gift To You Of Daily Faith 

And

Use My Commandments For You 

As Your Sure Hedge Of Protection 

And

You Won't Choose To Sin! 

See! 

Self-Utilized Backbone Is Required! 

To Willfully Commit Sin Is Not An Accident!

Living By Sinning Is A Personal Choice!

**--**--**--**--**

Being Tempted Is Not A Sin!

Yielding To Temptation Is Sin!

Life Is Amazing! 

Self-Deception Is Mind-Boggling! 

Refusing To Take Responsibility 

For Your Own Self-Willed Actions 

Is 

The Mark Of A Lazy Mind In A Self-Absorbed Person! 

Remember, Remember

Don't Ever Forget ...

You Alone 

Stand Alone 

Before Christ Alone 

To Answer For Your Own Life 

In The One Judgment! 

One Life To Live Is Your Lot: 

Deal With It! 

Use Your Gift-From-God Tools!

Find Your Peace In The Lord!

DON'T YIELD: Temptation Is Common To Man!

Satan Can't Make Us Do Anything
So Please Remember These Four Words: 

• Common Temptation
• Faithful God
• Ability To Endure, And 
• Way Of Escape

We Are Encouraged By The Living Word 
To Believe The Living Word: Temptation Will Come 

But

Please Don't Sin By Accepting The Temptation As A Fait Accompli 

Because 

Our God ... Unfailingly Trustworthy

And

Willingly Trusted By Us

Will Provide A Way Out For Us! 
Innocent Blood Paid For Our Saving Grace!

We Hope In God: Hope Involves Patience

And

Patience Has A Perfect Work To Do In Us 

So That We Will Show No Lack In The Judgment! 

Pay Attention ... 

Yielding To Common, Pedestrian, Known Temptation 

Is 

Sin! 

Temptation Is A Parasite! 

Parasites Are Common 

And 

Prayer And The Living Word 

Are The Known And Obvious Cure! 

Beloved, 

We Will Be Tempted ... And Tried 

As Was Our Lord Jesus 

And

Just As He Did

We Must Emerge As Gold 

Fittingly Dressed To Go Home To Our Father's House! 

The Lord Has A Thousand Ways To Save Us 

But 

In The Hour Of Temptation

We Only Need One:

Please Let The Eternal Word Save You! 

Remember ... 

Strong Holy Angels Surround Us! 

The Holy Spirit Guides Us Who Are Willing To Be Guided 

And

"Lord, Save Me!" 

Is 

A Prayer: Don't Ever Forget It! 

Thank God For Jesus!
With Our Hand In His Hand, We Will Not Go Wrong! 

Indeed! 

He Is The Good, Kind, Faithful

Blessing, Giving 

And 

Forgiving God: 

We Are Covered In And By His Sacrificial Love! 

Blessed Be The Sovereign God!

AMEN!!!

HAPPY SABBATH + PRAYER: I'd Rather Be A Plant ...!

I'd Rather Be A Plant

In The Garden Of God

Than To Be A Dried Flower

In The Great Temples Of Man Flawed!

I Rather Be Pruned

By The Hand Of The Living God Of Love

Than To Be Polished

By The Hand Of The Devil In Brilliant White Gloves!

Pity Us, Father

Who Run To Earthly Prosperity!

Pity Us, Father

Who Believe That

Running Wild Is Freedom

From Jesus Christ's Loving Captivity!

Have Mercy On Us

Who To The Wilderness Run

Seeking The Lightness

Of Christ's Holy Face So Divine For A Moment Of Fun!

Lord, Pity Us

Who Will Not Your Preserved Word Read

Preferring Copyrighted Bibles

That Cater To Man's Every Lust-Confirming Felt Need!

Help Us, Dear Lord

To Set Aside Self

And

Seek After Almighty God

Who Offers Us Eternal Life

As A Heavenly Reward!

Lord, Help Us To Keep Our Eyes Free

Of Motes And Beams!

Keep Our Hands Out Of Sin

And

Render Them Upright And Clean!

Please Keep Us Living Right

So That Our Feet Don't Run To Mischief Today

And

Keep Our Hearts Willing

To Do Whatever You Say!

Please Keep Our Ears Open

Ever Able To Hear The Spirit's Call!

Keep Our Minds Sheltered

So That We Won't For

The Rhetoric Of Satan Dressed As Man Fall

And

Please Help Us To Hold Up

The Shield Of Christ's Faith

So That The Fiery Darts Of The Devil

Won't Find On Our Weak Bodies

An Available Dwelling Place!

Lord, Please Help Us

In You

Without Worldly Fear To Stand

For We Desire 

By Your Grace

To Be Borne Away To Glory Land

Surrounded

By The Happy Angel Band!

Oh, Lord, Let All Be Well ... With Our Souls

In Jesus' Holy Name

For We Do Love You!

Thank You For Hearing And Answering Our Prayers!

AMEN.

Intellectual Dishonesty Destroys The Unwary Christian

Why Do We Uplift Christ's Christianity
AND
Downgrade Christ's Laws?

Is It Because Our Vaunted 
Gazetted Intellect
Knows That Christ's Known Desires For Mankind
Contains What Educated Men Call Flaws?

I Beseech You,  Brother Sister
Pray Once 
Pray Twice
AND
Pray Once More Again
For
Modern Christianity's Proclivity
Toward An All-Inclusive Christianity
Which Condones
AND
Celebrates Sin
AND
The Dreaded Practice Of The Blind Guides Calling 
Active Known Sin "Good!"
Which Is By Almighty God Called "Evil!"
For This Very Practice
Will Assuredly Lead To The Prophesied 

This Very Act Will Exclude Them 
From The Glory-Day Celebration
But
Include Them In The Burning 
Executed By
The Eternal Judge!

An Educated Palate 
So-called 
Used For Judging Fine Food and Fine Wine
Is Not For Man's Judging
Or Re-imagining
The Holy Words Of
God Almighty - The Divine
Whose Eyes Have No Need For Glasses
Whose Ears Have No Need For Aids
AND
Whose "Well Done!"
Of Commendation
Is Not For Those Who Choose
To The Flesh
To Be An Overtime Wage-Earning Slave!

All Men Sin!
Yes,  I Sin,  Too
BUT
Like King David
I Know That I Am A Sinner ... Willing To Be Saved

I Know How To Pray
And Sing
And Confess Sin
And Repent
AND
ASK
For Forgiveness
From
The Living Loving Holy God, Too
For

I Don't Go To God
With The Attitude
That He "Does Not Get My Plight!"

I Go To God
Appealing
Pleading
For Help
To Win The Battle Which
Against Carnality
I Must
Daily Fight!

Please ... Go To God!

The Bible Says Plainly:

That Jesus Christ Did Not Have To Overcome!

Take A Second
A Minute
An Hour
A Day OR Two
Or A Lifetime
AND
THINK 
What THAT Means
To For Me AND To For You!

Holy Writ Says:

Think Also
What THAT Means
For Those Who Believe In
AND
Trust God,  Mighty To Save!

Almighty God IS Still God
The Same Yesterday
TODAY
AND
FOREVER!
There Is No Shadow Of Turning!
He IS The God Upright!

Won't You Trust In The Lord Jesus Christ?

When You Hurt He Cries!

What Price Sin?

We Commit Sin
AND
We Blame God
For Having Too Many Rules!

We Commit Sim
Because It Tastes Good
AND
Then We Blame God When We Get Cavities!

We Commit Sin
Enjoying The Sleigh Ride
AND
Then Blame God
When Sleigh-Here
And Sleigh-There Collide
AND
We Can No More Enjoy The Free Ride!

We Commit Sin
AND
When He Who Would Abide
Confronts Us
We Become Snide
AND 
Puffed Up With Pride
AND
Walk Away Hurt
Looking For A Rock Under Which We May Hide!

We Commit Sin
BUT
Sin Does Not Pay!
Sin's Costs
Are Wide And Deep
And Even Though There Has Been Repentance
Leave Scars
AND 
Consequences  ... steep!

Committing Sin Does Not Pay!

Pray For Deliverance!

Pray!

Pray!

PRAY!

AND

He That Is Called Comforter 

Will With You

Stay!

Pray For Your Comfort ...

TODAY!

Prayer: Give Me Grace

Lord, there is The Great Shaking Coming -

Please give my Heart some Relief

Help me to Stand Ever Victorious

 When Faced by Evil, Strife, and The Troubler-in-Chief!

Help me to Stand Firm in Your Precepts

Help me not to Hold on to Worldly Conceits and Receipts

Help me to Stand Fast in The Faith of Jesus

Not Afraid of that Wicked Soul Thief!

Give me The Promised Grace, Dear Lord, I Beseech You

Grant me Strength to Hold on to 

Your Peace, Dear Lord, I Pray

Bless me, Lord - Help me to be Victorious 

I am Your Child, and 

I would have it to be No Other Way!

I Love You, Lord.

AMEN.
