Stop Betraying The Lord Christ!

Situationally Ethical 
Is 
A Christian
Supposedly Committed And Caring!
Situationally Ethical 
Is 
A Christian
Obviously Lacking In Daring!

Situationally Ethical ... The Christian
Has No Problem With Sharing
Sees No Problem With His Standard Of Living Paring
But
Seriously Has A Problem
When It Comes His Neck To Baring
To The Sharp Words
The Knife Cuts Of Malicious Gossip
The Tar Balls Of Lies And Snide Innuendo
Known Thrown Up Against
Those Committed Completely To The Lord Christ
Thrown At The Heads Of Those
Who Despise The Demonic Device
The Presumptuous Sin
The Heaven-Daring Deviltry
And
The Dogmatic Denials Of
Those Who Refuse To Honor The God Of Creation
The Very God Holy
Who Gives Unto Us Daily Living
Who Promises For Our Faithful, Obedient, Endurance
His Very Own Eternal Life!

Overcomers 
Will Have Substantial Reasons For Thanksgiving!

That's The Big Stuff
But
It's The Little Things Cultivated
That Grow
That Mature
That We Shall Here Address ...

Well, Well, Well!

Look At Who Just Walked Through The Door!

Mr. Committed Christian

Who Regularly Sells Out To Sin

For An Extra Five Cents

Thinking ... Believing

That The Living God

Will Not Desire Recompense!

Good Morning, Mr. Ethical!

Good Morning, Lil' Berry!
Have You Got Anything For Me Today!?!
I've Got Me A Cake That 
Needs Topping Off With A Plump Cherry!

Friends,
This Here Mr. Ethical
Has No Problem Speaking Through A Fork!
That's How His Tongue Got Split!

He Speaks Christian In The Light
Lives As A Sinner In The Dark
Loves The Lord On The Surface
And
Sleeps With The Devil
In Thoughts, Words And Deeds!
It's Always About His Needs!

He Is A Shark In The Dolphin Clan!

Please Permit Me 
To Personally Cut To The Chase:

This Person So Upright, Uptight
Is 
A Known Fence Jockey!
His Measure When It Comes To The Master's Ways
Changes
If It Is Possible A that He Will Reap A Little Berry!

If Profit Is Promised
Light Can Turn To Dark!
If Profit Is Possible
Bitter Can Become Sweet!
If Profit Is Sharing Its Aroma
Truth Can Be Cast Down Into The Street
And
Mr. Situationally Ethical ... The Christian
Who Is A Mere Professor
And
No Where Near A Possessor Of 
The Traits Of Character Of Jesus Christ The Lord
Has Conveniently Forgotten That 
The Law Of The Lord Is Perfect
Having No Chinks
No Cracks
No Rust
Rejecting All Shadow Of Turning
And
For Certain Sure
Has No Possibility Of Ever
With The Deceitful One
Consorting!

Chew On This ...

Committed Christians
Don't Follow The World!
They Don't Kiss The Devil's Ring!
They Don't Bow Before The Idols
And
For Certain Sure
They Done Sell Out The Savior
For The Convenience Of Carrying A Bulging Purse
That Only Holds Earth-Bound Gold!

The Christian In Name Only
Is 
Saved On ... By ... Church Donation Paper Only
Walks On The Earthly Stage Only
And
Will Receive For His Earned Reward
That Which Was Designed 
For The Devil And His Angels Only!

Brethren, Beloved

Don't Settle For Carrying Gold In A Purse!
Lift Up Your Gaze
And
Choose To "Settle" ForWalking On Streets Of Gold:
Now, That's The "Ticket"
In The Perfect World
Prepared For The Enduring Faithful
Who Do Not Sell Out To Sin
To Get The "Gains" Out Of A Curse!

Please Stop Betraying The Lord Christ!
What The Lord Has For His Known-Children
Is
Infinitely Far Beyond 
What Anyone On Earth Would Call "Niiiceee!"
Don't Fall For The Demonic Device!

Study To Show Thyself Approved!

There Will Not Be A Worldwide Conversion!
All Mankind Will Not Be 

Into The Living Kingdom Of God Saved!
That Is Just Another Gross Lie Of The Devil
So That Man About His Own Soul's Salvation
Will Be Careless
AND
Satan Will Have Each To Be His Personal Slave!

Do You Remember
When We Were In School
And Made A "Foolish Mistake"
And The Teacher Deducted Double Points
Not For The Error
But For
- Of All Things -
"Being Careless!?"

I Sure Do And The Thought Still Stings!

I Firmly Believe That A Similar Situation
- Obviously In A Grander Scale -
Will Play Out For Man!

What On Earth Do You Mean?!

Why Would God "Deducts Points?!"

Think About It:

The Bible Is The Great School Master!

Everything We Need To Know
- To Be Saved -
Is In The Good Book!

If We Neglect The So-Great Salvation
Then
There Is No More Help
For Fallen Man!

... Open The Book ...!

... Seems Pretty Obvious ...!

... Study To SHOW Thyself ...!

... Approved!

Satan Is A Genius
BUT
Jesus Christ IS The Holy God!
Satan Is The Greatest Liar Of All Time
BUT
Jesus Christ Made And Controls Time!

The Question At The Crux Of The Matter Is Still This:

Why Would God Debit Our Account

For Double Or Any Points?!

Simple, I Will Say:

He Gave You, Me

All Of Us

A Teacher's Copy Of The Course Material! 

He Walked Through The Course Himself
Leaving His Results As Crib Notes!
He Sent Adept Tutors To Run Scenarios With You!
He Provides Guides To Influence And Protect
As You Walk Wait Work And In His Truth
Abide!

He Even Gave You The Answers To All The Exam Questions!
He Even Showed You Your Graduation Gown
AND
Your Graduation Gift:

• Immortality
• A Universe Tour
• A Triumphal Entry Into The Eternal City
• A Banquet With The Great King Serving
• A New Name
• A Gold Harp
• A Gold Crown
• A Personal Mansion
• Fruit From The Tree Of Life
• Water From The River Of Water Of Life
• Eternal Life With Christ
• Personal Transport With Wings Of Eagles
• Universal Lecture Tour
• Land On The Earth Made New
• Peace
• Rest
• No More Death 
• No More Sorrow

AND

• No More Tears

Besides
And I Quote:

Hope Turned Into Sight
IS
The Saved Soul's Delight!

This IS Truly Overwhelming!

With Christ As Leader
Man Cannot Fail!

Only A Fool Will Say That
There Is No God!

Satan Is A Fool

Besides Being Really Vilely Wicked!
He Raises Up Himself As God!

Heyyy!
Do You Realize That 

Satan Could Only Tempt Eve 

When She Was In Close Proximity
To The Tree Of Knowledge Of Good And Evil?!

Where Did That Thought Come From?!

Think About It:

As Long As We Stay Close To Christ
The Tree Of Life
AND
Away From The Tree Of The Knowledge Of Good And Evil
- Sin -
Satan Can't Have Pins With Us!
He Is Powerless!

We Are Safe In Christ
Even If We Die Because Of Sinful Men
Powered By Satanic Fury!

When You Read

AND
Study
The Script
The Good Book
Cover To Cover
AND
Know Your Writer
AND
Your Lines
AND
Have Prepared For A Particular Outcome
AND
Are Dressed For The Part
AND
Perform As Specified
By Following All The Marked Cues
The Desired Outcome 

Is 

Guaranteed!

Life With Christ
With Christ As Lead
Lets A Repentant Sinner Live
Faithfully
Doing The Will Of Him
Who Is Lord God
Life And Light
And
Friend To Man
In Word Thought And Deed!

Soooo ...

We're Back To The Place Of Beginning!

The Bottom Line ...

Doubters 

Because Of The Lack Of Working Faith

AND

Refusal To Conduct Due Diligence

Get Damned!

Carelessness Is The Curse!

Soul Salvation Sees The Curse Reversed!

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

Failing An Open-Book Exam

Is

Most Shameful!

Please Do Not Fall For

The Satanic "It Does Not Matter!" Scam!

Study The Good Book

And

Make Jesus Christ

Your Soul's Sole Portion!

Heaven Awaits The Faithful!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Salvation ... Simply Put!

Soooo .... What Do You Say That I Need Salvation From?

Simply Put
You Need Christ's Sure Salvation
To Escape Sin's Sure Damnation!

Wait A Minute!
You're Moving A Bit Too Fast!

How Did Damnation Get In This Conversation?! 
Start From The Beginning
Talk Real Slow
And Don't Stutter!

Okay. No Problem!

You Repeatedly Tell Anybody
And Everybody
How Much You Like Nice Things
And The Things That Are Good For You!

Sure, I Do!
Only The Very Best Will Do For My Foooine Self!

In That Case
- And Because You Are So Fine ... In Your Mind
But Not In The Sight Of The Lord -
You May Want To Take A Gander
At The Living Word Aka Your King James Bible!

Money ... Burns!
Possessions ... Burn!
Unrepentant Sinners ... Burn!

Pardon Me, But
I Am NOT A Sinner!

I May Occasionally Make Truth Turn Expediency Corner 
By Frequently Indulging In A Miniscule White Lie!
I May Occasionally Avail Myself Of A Five-Finger Discount!

Everybody Does The Bed Hop! 

They're One Or Two Persons That I May Perhaps Probably 
Might Want Desire To Cause To Abruptly Exit Life! 
I May Worship My Beemer
And Even Myself In Every Store Window
And I May Be Accused Of Rampant Covetousness
BUT
I Strenuously Repeat
I Am NOT A Sinner!

You Poor, Poor, Poooor, Baby!
Upon What Have You Been Feeding Your Fine Mind?

Somehow, I Don't Think That I Care For That Tone In Your Voice!

I Stand Corrected!
Permit Me To Try Again!

Say On! 

In Bajan Parlance
You Ain't Nutten But A Greasy Pork-Mout' Sinner
AND
Your Own Fine Words Convict You!

Don't You Know That If You Break One Of God's Commandments
You Are Guilty Of Them All
AND
As A Result
You Surely Need The Perfect Doctor
For What Surely Ails You!

You Need Yourself, Dr. Jesus
The Great Physician
The Great I AM
The Good Shepherd
The Rock Of Ages
The Purveyor Of Peace
Who Dispenses
Rest And Relief!

When You Attend His Clinic
He Checks Your Eyes
Your Ears
Your Tongue
Your Heart
AND
Even The Soles Of Your Feet!

He Dispenses That Medicine
That Is Cure-Fuh-All
Where Confession Is A Purgative
Repentance Is Recuperative Juice
Forgiveness Is Healing Balm
AND
Walking In Obedience
Is The Only Way To Acquire Eternal Youth!

He Sends All Patients On An Errand
Where Mercy Is Free
AND
Grace Is For The Way
AND
All Who Will To Do The Will Of The Father
Get A Guaranteed Ration Of
Faith For The Day!

And ...

Best Of All
He Gives To All Comers Of His Spirit Holy
To Teach And Lead
And Guide And Chide
AND
An Excellent Member Of His Support Staff
Named Angel Excelling-In-Strength
Is Provided To You For A Constant Companion
And A Guardian
And An Influencer To Ever Do Good!

This Must Be Understood! 

Dr. Jesus Is Gloriously Amazing!
He Is Guaranteed Always On Time!
He Is The True And Very Present Help!
AND
As Long As You Invest Your Trust And Belief
In His Merits
If You Die The Appointed-Unto-Man Death
He Is The Almighty Power
AND
He Will Call You Up From The Grave
On The Great And Glorious Day Of Vengeance And Redemption!
All Men Choose Which Side Of The Day Is Their Reward!

All His Patients Have Cards
Marked
Justified! Sanctified!
AND
They Are All Signed
With The Precious Blood Of The Sacrificed Lamb!

I'll Let You In On The Secret ...

All Who Remain Faithful
Taking The Medicine As Stipulated
AND
Doing As He Wills
Will
- In The Day Of Appointment -
Get The New Name
White Robe
Victor's Palm
Gold Crown With Stars
Gold Harp
Eternal Life
Immortality
A Home In Glory
AND
Whatever Else He Desires To Give!

 Know This  ...

Oh, My!
That Sounds Fantastic!
But ... What Is ... All Of This ... Going To Cost ... Me?!

Simply Put ... Your Heart!
You Agree To Live For Him
So That You Will Die In Him!

Is It Going To Hurt?!

Death?!

No!
Living For Him?!

Simply Put ... Yes!

Oh, Dear!
I Do Want What He Has
But I. Don't. Like. Pain!
Oh, Dear!

If You Honor
Trust
Worship
Obey
Pray Without Ceasing
Live In Faith
AND
Keep In And Believe The Word
The Pain Will Be A Small Matter!

Dr. Jesus Will Not Leave You Alone
Nor Forsake You!
He Is The Savior And The Redeemer
The Healer And The Sealer
AND
He Is Always Just A Prayer Away!

Please, I Beseech You ...

Whatever You Do
Do Not Doubt!
Do Not Worry!
Ask For Wisdom!
Ask For Faith!
Ask For Grace!
Live In Hope!
Heed The Word!
Deny The Liar!
Speak The Truth!
Do Good!
Do Not Walk In The Light Of Your Own Eyes!
Be Sober!
Be Ever Vigilant!
Wholly Trust Him Solely
AND
All Things Will Work
For Your Good!

Okay. I'll See Him!
Do I Need An Appointment To Meet With Him?!

No! Not At All!
He Is Here!

Here?! Now?!

Yes!
I'll Leave You Two Alone!

Oh, Dear. Oh, Dear!
Do I Have To Call Him, Doctor
Or Can I Just Say ...

Dear Jesus ....!

Great Minds Think Alike!

Amen!

Three Weeks Later ... 

Heyyyy! How Are You?! 

I Am Fine! Really, Really, Truly, Fine!

Wow! Do Tell! 

Faithful Is Our God!

Satan Is The Fraud!

Truth Is Our Shield

And Our Faith In Christ Jesus
Will Sure Salvation Yield!

Eyesight Is Great!

Spiritual Eyesight Is Glorious!

Let Us Despise Neither

And Let Us Let God Be Our Leader!

I Am Well, And I Am Praising The Eternal God!

Bless God! Bless God!

Re: Save Our Souls

Dear Dad,
Please Come And Take Me Home!
It Has Been Almost Six Clear Days

Since You Left Me At This Boot Camp
But It Feels Like 6,000 Years
And
I Have Had Enough!

The Teachers And Counselors Are Insane -
Many Are Quite Shady!
It Is Said - And It Looks As Though -

The Food Was Sacrificed Before

(Gasp)
To Idols!

I Cringed At The Thought
And I Asked My Dorm Director
To Change My Diet Plan To Fruit And Veggies
And The Bread Of Life
And The Pure Clear Water Of Salvation
Instead Of The Hard Liquor Of Sin
And The King's Wine of Confusion
That Everybody Else Is Drinking!
Things Were Tense For A Moment!

Dad, How Do You Do It?!
How Do You Care For And Love People
Who Neither Care For Nor Love Themselves?!
Please Answer - I Really Need To Know!

There Is A Program Here Called "Charity!"
And All The Popular People Sign Up For It
And Call In The Media For Photo Ops 

And To Have Their Story
Prominently Placed
In Social Media So That It May Grow Like A Virus
And Do Something Called "Go Viral!"
Anybody Who Wants To Be A For-Real
And True-True Media Darling Is Doing It!

Dad,
Didn't You Say And Memorialize 

In The Good And True Book
That We Are To Give Alms In Private
So That Thereafter

We Will Get Your Public Reward?!

On An Aside, I'm Feeling Somewhat Confused!

Last Week, In All The Media
There Was A Story And A Photo
Of A PopularPretty Person Giving
A Talk Show Host Her Underpants!
Didn't You Say We Should Uplift People
And Let Our Lights Shine
So That Men Will See Our Good Works
And Glorify You?!

I Haven't Yet Figured Out
How My Life Or My Living
Was Edified By That Spectacle!
Was It Perhaps An Unannounced
Show And Tell?!
I Just Don't Know!
Please Tell Me What Purpose It Served!

Dad,
I'm Feeling Rather Odd In This Company!
You Taught Me That Jesus The Begotten
Is The Way, The Truth, And The Life
And That To Forever Leave This Campground
And Get Home To You
Jesus Must Lead Me There

BUT

This Is A
Big-Able Problem
With Certain Of The Higher-Up
Better-Off 

Illuminated Campers!

Some Of Them See This Camp As A Country Club
And A Casino 

And Even Unto A Pleasure Ground
And A Carnival Cruise
And A Bacchanal
Tied Up In A Masquerade Ball!!!

Somehow, For Some People
This Intended Boot-Camp Serves 

No Purpose!?!

Save What They Choose To Make Of It
Because
"You Know Who Is Here"
Constantly Stirring Up Strife!

His Wickedness, Himself
Liarman Detestable Scamp

- The Damned One -

Is Here
AND
He Looms Large 

And Lord's It Over Everyone
As Though He Is 

• The Big Man In Charge
• The Man Of Every Hour

He Is Down Here Reigning In Stolen Power
Demanding That He Is To Be Called 

"Glorious Majesty!"

AND

"Emmanuel!"

And Saying That He Is 

"God Of All He Surveys!"

Dad,
Please Do Something!
He Is Ruining The Camp
And

Training-Ground Experience 

For Everybody!

Please, Dad! Send Help!

Please Send The Holy Spirit!

Please Send The Messengers Who Excel In Strength!

Isn't It Time Yet For Jesus To ... Come ...?!

I'm Sorry To Be Asking, But Dad, I'm Desperate!!

Please Help Me!

Please Save Us!

I ... We, All The Gooduns Want To Come Home!!!

I Love You With My Whole Heart,

Your Beloved, Praying, Child

Who Knows That 

Your Grace Is  

A l w a y s 

In All Ways

Sufficient!

PS: 

Please Help Us To Keep The Faith

And Shield Us From The Plague Of Presumption!

Please Help Us To Endure

So That We Do Not Make Shipwreck Of Faith!

PSS:

Thanks For The Amazing Care-Package Of Blessings

That Arrived Today!

Even With Help From The Brethren

I Haven't Been Able To Open Them All!

I Am Truly Blessed!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: God Is The Lord!

The Question Was Pointed:

How Do YOU See God?

There Were Christians
Agnostics
Deists
Atheists
And Some
With No Stripe
And However You Paint It
There Was Going To Be A Fight!

Every Body And His Brother
Had An Opinion
That Was Plain
AND
The Answers Were As Divergent
As Divergent Could Be
AND
They Caused The Christians Great Pain!

"Their" Idea Of God ...

Back Bent

Eye Blind

Hand Short

Foot Broken

Power Less

Unapproachable

Uninterested

Uninvolved

Reach: None

Creator: Not Possible

Sustainer: What Foolishness!

Judge: Not Theirs!

My Idea Of God ...

Forgiving
Providing
Patient
Trustworthy
Available
Accessible
Protective
Helpful
Blessing
True
Responsive

True!

• Guide ... By Request
• Companion ... By Request
• Judge
• King
• Sealer ... By Request
• Intercessor ... By Request
• Executioner: Reluctant
• But Always ... By Request!

The Eternal God
Is My Father
My Family
My Friend!
My Hope For Surpassing Glory
My Passport To Eternal Life
My Way To Abundant Life

My Beginning
My End!

The Eternal God Is

The Shepherd Of Souls
The Builder Of Safe Folds
The Leader Of The Righteous
The Overcomer Of Sin
AND
To Those Faithful
Who To Him Are True
He Is Willing
Ever Ready
AND
Always Able
To Save
Because They Recognize Their True Condition
AND
Will
To Awaken From The Grave!
I Am One!
Are You?!

No Sin Is Too Evil
AND
No Pain Is Too Great
That It Is Beyond His Ability
To Forgive
To Heal
When Confessing
AND
Repentant
We Give Back To Him
What He Gave To Us
Our Will AND Our Choice
AND
Choose
To Walk In His Way!
I'm Walking!
Will You Join Me On The Way?!

All Good Gifts
Come From The Eternal God
AND ARE
Those Things Which We Can't
Buy Barter
Sell
Or
Dig Out Of A Hole:

Everlasting Life

Hope

Faith

Grace

Forgiveness

True Beauty

Mercy

Draughts From The Water Of Life

Rest For The Weary
