So, if you are in need of a place to rest and be refreshed during your busy day, please come on in for a while. You will be blessed. 1 Corinthians 3:16 - Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you? ALL MATERIAL IS FREELY AVAILABLE FOR RE-USE!
KJV Jeremiah 13
11 For as the girdle cleaveth to the loins of a man, so have I caused to cleave unto me the whole house of Israel and the whole house of Judah, saith the LORD; that they might be unto me for a people, and for a name, and for a praise, and for a glory: but they would not hear.

KJV Matthew 4
16 The people which sat in darkness saw great light; and to them which sat in the region and shadow of death light is sprung up.
17 From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.
The Lord Sends Messengers To Warn ...
KJV Ezekiel 33

9 Better is the sight of the eyes than the wandering of the desire: this is also vanity and vexation of spirit.
KJV Ecclesiastes 6
11 Seeing there be many things that increase vanity, what is man the better?

The Lord Reasons ...

1 Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing?
4 He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision.
The Lord Blesses The Faithful ...
KJV Psalms 1

3 And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.
The Lord Is Pleased
When We Choose Him ...
KJV 3 John 1
2 Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.

4 I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in truth.
The Lord Accepts Our Word
And Gives Us Him Promise ...

KJV Psalms 119
103 How sweet are thy words unto my taste! yea, sweeter than honey to my mouth!
104 Through thy precepts I get understanding: therefore I hate every false way. NUN

Brethren,
We Have The Holy God
Who Loves And Sacrificially Cares For Us!
Please, I Beseech You
Do Not Allow The Sacrifice Made In Your Name
To Cast Down To The Ground And Trodden Underfoot
Because
Of Pride And Arrogancy
And
The Desire To Fit In With The Dying World!
The World Cannot Save Itself
And
You Cannot Save Yourself ... Or Anybody Else
So Take The Sure Shot
For The Guaranteed Win
And
Walk Softly Before The Lord
In Full Confidence Of Deliverance
From Your Known Sin!
Remember:
Only Jesus Christ Blesses
Helps, Heals
Provides And Protects
Saves And Succours
Forgives From Known And Repented Of Sin
And
Eternally Seals!
Please Permit Him In Your Life To Guide And To Lead:
As Our Advocate Before The Father
For Us Individually
- With His Innocent Blood As Surety And Security -
The Good Rule For The Road To Life
Does Not Require One To Skin Cuffings!
One Just Has To Keep Focus
On Him Who Is And Gives Life
And Satan's Hell We Will Not Be Stuffing:
Look Before You Leap!
Think BEFORE You Speak!
Chew Before Any Man's Word You Swallow
And
For Sure And Secure Soul Salvation
Jesus Christ The Righteous, With Diligence, Follow!
The Broadway
Is
Peppered With Sights Of Gay Abandon
Self-Will, Waywardness
Ignorance Regarding Truth
And
Chemically-Induced Bliss
Causing Many To Release Their Grip On Reality
And
Grasping At Straws
As They Are Buffeted By Unprofitable Inanities!
Roll Call ...
Sin, Self, Sorrow ... Salvation
Hurt, Horror ... Hope, Help
Two Gardens
Two Adams
One First ... One Last!
One Test
Two Participants
One An An Abject Failure
The Other A Resplendent Pass!
Eden Garden .. Adam
Garden Gethsemane ... Jesus Christ
Both Were Troubled
By The Demon Not Nice
Lucifer Gone Rogue
Turned Satan
The Mortal Enemy Of Souls!
Adam The First, Assailed
Took The Test And Failed!
Adam The Last, Assaulted
Took The Test
And At The Ultimate Showdown Bruised The Head Of
The Snake In The Grass The Heel Biter The Piercing Serpent Leviathan Behemoth The Accuser Of The Brethren The Enemy Of Souls
And
Ascended On High
Triumphant
Having That Death-Dealing Test
Well And Truly Passed! Satan Has Been, By Truth Totally, Totally, Outclassed And There Is A Non-Refundable Inescapable Unwanted Burning In His Future For The Maliciously Evil Things He Is Doing In The Time Called Present And For What Was Done In Millenia Of His Sordid Past!
The Truth Must Be Told ...
Adam The First Looked At Self But
Adam The Last Looked At Sin
And
Solemnly Said:
... So To Put It As Plainly As Imagination Will Permit
Willfully Choosing To Live In Sin
Is
Like Sailing A Lead Balloon Attached To A Merchant Ship's Tow Rope
Held In The Atrophied Hand Of
A Strutting Proud Peacock Of A Man
Wearing Polished Cement Shoes
While Climbing The Himalayas
And
Picking His Teeth With A Broom-Stick!
Do You Think He Needs A Helping Hand!?!
He Needs A Hand
And A New Head
And I Need Understanding To Unpack
What You Just Said!
Don't Cut And Swallow, Friend!
Bite, And Do A 44-Chew!
Are You Ready To Feast!?!
I've Got My Plate!
I Got Sharp Teeth!
Do A Brother A Solid And Release The Feast!
A Willing Sinner Is A Lie!
He Lies On His Conscience
And
The Will Of God He Defies!
His Saying That He Is Authentically Living
Is
A Luminous Lie
For He Is As Satan
And
Will In The Lake Of Fire Forever Die!
The "Good Stuff" ...
A Lead Balloon ... An Unpleasant Medicine Ball
Can't Float, Can't Fly
Can't Roll
And
Impossible To Swallow
Hurts If Dropped On The Toe
So It's A Fool
Who Does Not These Fast Facts Know!
A Merchant Ship's Tow Rope
Is
Bigger Than A Man's Arm
Impossible To Gain Lift
Without Mechanical Leverage
So Bearing It Aloft
Is
The Lie Of A Man To Truth Aloof
So You Know Of A Surety That This
Is
A Devilish Spoof!
As To That Hand
There Is No Atrophied Hand That
Can Do Anything But Hang Or "Blow" In The Wind
So An Atrophied Hand Lifting Load
Is Like A Camel Wearing An Ox Goad!
Ahh, Peacock!
Strutting Peacock!
Good To Look At
Offers No Profit When It Comes To Laboring
So To See A Man As A Proud Peacock
Is
To See Him As One Lame
A Shame
For His Labor Is Lacking
As He Rises To Visual Fame!
What About Those Shoes!?!
Wearing Polished Cement Shoes
Says Nothing Good About Willing Sinner's Intelligence!
To Get Cement Shoes
It Means You've Been Hog-Tied
Hobbled!
It Means You're A Participant In
What Will Take Your Life
And
The Fact That You Shine Your Cement Shoes
Says That You Believe That They Are Worth Your Time
Even Though You Only Wear - Not Walk In Them -
And Are By Them
Marked As The Adversary's Fair, Attached
Soon To Be Consumed Prey!
Frankie,
The Doozy In This Debacle
Is
Willing Sinner, Hobbled
Going On The Extreme Climb
To The Pinnacle Of The World
Thinking ... I'm Mighty!
And Saying
It's Extreme Climb That I Climb! While Dressed To Impress
- Not To Protect -
And
Picking His Teeth With A Broom-Stick
Even As He Flies The Unflyable
Walk In The Unwalkable
Wearing Feathers Unprofitable
Utilizing A Hand Unusable
Flexing Rope Untieable
To Attain A Summit By Him Known Unbreachable!
He Sounds Totally Unteachable ...!
... That Is Debatable!
Why!?! How!?!
Frankie, My Friend,
Any Sinner Can Be Saved
When He Sees The Error Of His Ways
Recognizes His Need
Accepts That There Is The Savior
Offering Grace And Mercy And Pardon
And
Chooses To Deny Self
And
Do A U-Turn
And Away From The Sure Way To Damnation
Toward Sure Salvation Confidently Turn!!
But The Cement Shoes!?!
Jesus Christ Has Provided A Sharp Chisel
That Is The Word Of God
A Two-Edged Sword
That Cuts Going And Coming
And
Severs Sin And Self From Yearning Soul
And
Makes The Way For The Savior
The Seeking Soul To Enter In!
Be Ye Warned And Fed ...
At The End Of The Willful Sinner's Walk Of Pleasure
- Not Achieved
Impossible To Receive
Destined To Be Unbelieved -
He Realizes That He Has Unmovingly Walked
Climbed Not A Foot
And
Has Been Profited By Not Even A Groat
And
It Is Only In The Judgment That - Choice Having Been Removed -
He Will Say With All In The Condemned Throng:
Father, God
Spirit Of Truth
Lord Of Light,
I Was Wrong!
You Are Right!
Sin! Sin! Sin Is Soul Blight!
I Was A Fool!
Of Faith, I Did Not Fight The Good Fight!
Brethren, By Willful Sinning Do Not Your Soul Blight!
Turn To Christ Jesus
Daily To Be Fed
And
To The Living Kingdom
Be A Regenerated Delight!
For Soul Salvation
It Is Down To These Four! It Is Now Or Nothing! If Our Matchups Fail We Are Doomed!
Each Of Us ... Personally Has A Ministry ... Publicly Has A Task ... Specifically And A Singular ... Message A Certain ... Hope!
We Are A Peculiar People Serving The Holy God Who Does Not Play Favorites By Excusing Sin!
Sin Is Sin But Some Sins Are Abominable And Are Delineated By Almighty God's Most Severe Punishments!
However, Save For Blasphemy Against The Holy Spirit Of The Eternal God By Whom We Are Sealed Against The Day Of Vengeance All Sin
All SinAll Sin
Is Forgiven If And WhenGenuine Repentance Is
Placed Upon The Altar Of Sacrifice!
The Punishment For Blasphemy The Punishment For Unrepented Sin Is
Death The Second Death Which Is Final!
Recovery Is Impossible Because
All Those Who Enter The Lake Burning With Fire And Brimstone Are ... Consumed!
An Analogy Is In Order ...
You Live Off Of Bananas And Biscuits
And You Live In A Building With An Incinerator To Which You Have Full And Free Access!To Access ItYou Just Need To Walk - In Any Direction -
Seven (7) Steps!
You Always Have In Your Possession A Hand Of Ripening Bananas - Undisposed, The Skins Are Sin -
And A Box With 24 Packs Of Eclipse Biscuits - Undisposed, The Wrappers Are Sin -
You Know The Rules! You Accepted The Rules! You Live By The Rules Maybe ... Sorta ... Kinda ... Probably Not Because
- Truth Must Be Told - You Are A Raw-Mout' Sinner!
You Have Racked Up Many Building Code Violations
And You Are Exerting A Deleterious Influence Upon Your Neighbors!
People Are Complaining
And Flies And Cockroaches And Mice - Known Imps On Speed - Are In
And
Escaping From Your Domain!
Things Have Finally Reached A Head!
The Chief Financial Officer Aka The Son Of Man ... Appealed To You - You Killed Him - He Rose Again The Chief Operating Officer Aka The Holy Spirit Of Truth ... Pleaded With You - You Threw A King Rat In His Face The Chairman Of The Board Aka The King Of Glory ... Will Soon Step In!
You Consume Your Biscuits! You Leave Sin Behind! You Consume Your Bananas! You Leave Sin Behind!
When You Put Your Sin In The InSINerator It Is Consumed!
When Your Apartment You Your Cup
Becomes Filled With The Detritus Of An Ill-Spent Sinful Profligate Life And The Building Control Finally Has To Intervene Because
You Will Not Turn Away From Cherishing Sin The Final Outcome Is SINner In The Incinerator! You Are Consumed!
While The Weight Of Punishment
Is
According To Sin
The Outcome Is Nonetheless The Same: Nothing Remains!
