HAPPY SABBATH + Talking To The Lord Of Life!

Father,

I Approach Unto You Boldly!

You Said To Come: I Believe Your Word

And By Working Faith, I Am Here With Godly Fear!

I Have No Other God But You, Dear Father!
I Have No Other True Friend!
I Have No Other Comfort But The Spirit Of Truth
And None But The Holy Angels Who Always Defend!

I'm A Pilgrim, A Stranger
A Foreigner In A Strange Land
Walking Through, Learning
Travelling Onward
Upward
To The Beautiful Hill Zion
The True Home Of Those In The Pilgrim Band!

School Days Are Almost Over!
Time In The Crucible Is All About Spent!
Perfection Of Character Has Been Our Mainstay
And Purging Ourselves From Dead Works
Is Work About Which We Shall Not Repent!

If Jesus Christ Had Not Loved Us
For Our Personal Sin, He Would Not Have Died
And All Those Who By Faith Take Hold Of
So Great A Salvation
Will Depart The Ways Of Satan:
Everyone Knows That His Way Is The Lie!

Thank You, Lord, For The Strait And Narrow Way!

I Understand, Lord!

It's Indeed Better To Bend Than To Burn!
It's Better To Repent Than Free Salvation Spurn!
It's Better To Be Holy As Our Lord Christ Is Holy
Than To Continue Walking With Satan The Fraud
And Thereby Offend You, Father

The Eternal God!

Help Me Not Indulge The Sin Of Presumption!

I Recognize, Indeed, That Life Is Short!
I See All Around Me That Sin Appears Cheap
And I Also See Just What The Living Word Says Is Real:

What A Man Sows Is That Which He Shall Reap!

Help Me, My Lord, The Same Repented Of Sins

Never Again To Repeat!

I Know From The Word

And I See For A Fact That 

Pride Does Go Before The Fall

That Wickedness Is In High Places

And That Love Endures All!

Please Know, Dear Lord, That By Faith

That Gift Of Love Divine

I'm Truly Grateful That It Is Only The Righteous 

The Committed To Christ

The Faithful, The Obedient

The Just, The Clean

Who Will Reside In Zion's Heavenly Places!

Keep Me In Your Care, Father

As By The Holy Spirit's Guiding

I No Longer Choose To Run Earth's Useless Races!

The Race To Life Is Not To The Swift!
The Prize Of Eternal Life Is Not For The Wicked, Strong!
The Everlasting Gift Is For 

The One Who, For Jesus, Endures All Things To The End

The One Who Does The Particulars Of 

The Great Commission Conscientiously Attend!

Father Of The Faithful

King Glorious, Faithful, True

As You Do Indeed Say:

Man's Life Is Short ... I Bow Before You!

I'm So Glad That Redeeming Love Lifts Me Up!

Peace, Perfect Peace!

Hope, Help, Home, Hallelujah!

Christ's Eternity Is Forever ... I Want To Be There

So, Dear Father

I'm Telling My Brethren:
Do The Math, Friends
And With Gratitude Decide
To Be With Him Who
Is The Eternal Life-Giver!

It Is He Alone Who Has Saving Grace

In His Always Full Quiver!

Our Souls From The Second Death

He Shall Surely Deliver!

I Have No Desire To Be Lost!

The Thought Of Separation From You, Lord

Makes My Blood Run Cold

And I Shiver!

Give Me This Day My Daily Bread

And From The Second Death, I Beseech You

My Purchased Soul, Deliver!

In The Name Of The Holy Jesus

The Son Of Righteousness

The Creator, The Redeemer

My Forever Friend

My Petitions I Present!

I Love You!

Come Soon!

AMEN.

Christians Coldly Calculating Consequences!?!

Working For The Master
Should Be A Straight Up:

Yes, Lord!

I Obey!

There Should Never Be An Instance Where
Christians Coldly Calculating Consequences
Should Ever Come Into Play

In The Contemplation Of

Our Service For The Master!

That's Real Easy For You To Say!

It Should Be Easy For You, Too!
You're A Christ Follower, Aren't You?!

I'm A Christ Follower But I'm Not Foolish!
I Need My Life If I Want To Live!
If I Have No Life
What Is The Service That I Can To The Lord Give?!

Do You Believe The Word Of God?!

Of Course, I Do!

Is It Suitable For You In Everything You Do!

Of Course, It Is!

In That Case
How Does:

Not My Will But Thy Will Be Done!

Come Into Play For You?!

How About:

Take Up Thy Cross And Follow Me?!

And, Lest We Forget

When, For You, Does

Yeah, Though I Walk

Through The Valley Of Death

I Will Fear No Evil!

Start Working?!

Ahhhm, Uh ...!

As The Son Of Man
Jesus Christ Gave Unto Us 

The Perfect Example Of Obedience!

As The Son Of God
Jesus Christ 

Gives

Unto Us The Power To Obey ...!

... You Should Add For Parker's Benefit
If We Believe He Is Able To Deliver
On The Promises Of God!!

So, I Guess, Parker

We Meaning ... You
Are At A Crossroad!

A Very Important Dangerous
Destiny-Altering Crossroad!

So, Mr. Parker

Who Are You Going To Call Up
In The Hour Of Your Trial
If 

You Don't 

Can't

Won't

Trust Jesus Christ In The Field?!

Jesus Christ 

Is

God Almighty
All The Time Or None Of The Time!

He Cannot Be Almighty In The Calm
And
Then Trembling 

When His Believing Children
Face The Fire!

You Either Trust Jesus Christ All The Way
Or Doubt Him All The Way!

I Know!

I Know That You're Right!

Well, Then

Just Understand That There Is No Middle Ground!
No Halfway!
No Grey!
It Is Black Or White!
Green Or Red!
Believe Or Doubt!

There Is To Be No Waffling

And

Decidedly
No Turning About!

I, I, I Am Scared ...!

So Were We
But 

We Still Went Out!

Remember Moses
And
Don't Ever Forget Elijah!

They Believed And They Trusted

And They Walked 

And, Lord Almighty, How They Worked!

Moses Died And Was By Jesus Christ, Himself

Resurrected
And
In Holy Heaven Does Live!

Elijah Lived
And
Was Translated Never Having Tasted Death
And
In Holy Heaven Does Live!

Hold On To This Truth ...

All Of Jesus Christ's Redeemed Ones
Will Be Reclaimed As Either A Moses
Or
An Elijah!

But What About The Cost!?!

What Cost!?!

Jesus Already Paid All Our Costs

So The Price To You Is Cheap!

Not Thaaat!

I Mean To Moses And Elijah!

The Cost Was Still Cheap
Since Neither One Was 

- To The Glorious Kingdom -
Lost!

Man, I Really Need To Grow A Spine!

Brother,
Trust God And Learn To Lean On Jesus!

Wise Up And Be A Fool For Christ

And

Do A Paul!

Huh!?!

Yeah! Yeah!

My Strength Is My Leaning On The Lord

Because I Know I'm Weak Without Him!

Don't Ever Forget This ...

The Lord Can't Use Personally Strong
Arrogantly Self-Sufficient
Prideful Persons
To Preach Peace And Salvation
To His Seeking People!

You Know What!?!

What!?!

I Can Do This!

I Can Do All Things Through Christ ...!

... Who Moment By Moment ...!

... Strengthens Us!

HAPPY SABBATH + Berries From Heaven + PRAYER: Lord, You Are Most Precious To Me!

I Have No Desire For That Status 
Held Aloft By Those
Who Ardently Work For The Fraud!
I Desire To Gain Stature
In The Eyes Of The Lord!

My Desired Stature
Is Not That That Is Wrought By My Own Hand
BUT
The Stature Of One Faithful
Molded
Nurtured
By The Son Of God
The Maker Of Man
Who Can Make True Gold
- With Judicious Use Of Grace's Correcting Rod -
Out Of Just Plain Old Sod!

I Desire To Walk With Humility
Compliments Of Dear Grace!
I Desire Attire Called Joy
To Be Worn
With The Love Of God
Shining Upon My Face!

I Desire Hands, Head, Heart
Ears, Eyes And Feet
Useful Solely
By The King Of Love
For
I Have No Desire
To Be Culled
From God's Eternal Fold 
Because I Walked Against My Brethren
Wielding
A Devil-made 
AND
Sold
Grudge
Just Because Life Gave Them
Temporal Prosperity's Nudge
Even Though I Am Not A Drudge!

Lord, Spare Me From That Deceit!
Lord, Spare Me From That Conceit!

I Desire To Maintain 
In Trustworthy Possession
Faith!
Hope!
Truth!
Light!
Those Wondrous Berries From Heaven
That Make A Beverage
Which Gives The Believing One Holy Might
Nourishing To The Soul
Providing Strength
Against Darkness To Fight!

AND ...

I Desire To Make Faithful Use Of
Helps!
Compassion!
AND
Care!
Glorious Blessings
From My Master
All Mine To Share
Blessings From Heaven
Appreciated More And More
With Each Passing Day!

PRAYER:

Thank You, Lord

For Calling Unto Me!

Thank You, Lord

For Giving Me The Strength

And

Courage To Say:

Father! Yes, Please!

Thank You, Lord

From Sin

Setting My Soul Free!

Thanks For The Blessings

With More To Come

I Aver!

Thank You

For

To My Lowly Heart

You Are Most Precious!
