Problems Abase Debase Abound: Only Jesus Christ Saves!

Problems Abase Debase Abound!
From Sin To Salvation
Man, Fallen, Must Bound!
Satan Is The Liar!
Publish The Glad Sound:
Jesus Christ Is Lord And God
And
All Who Diligently Seek Him
By Him Shall Surely Be Found!

Guns, Knives, Swords
Poison Pen, Poison Pill
Human Trafficking

And
Unholy Sex 

Gives The Perverted, Corrupted Mind Myriad Thrills
And
It All Points
To The Unregenerate Heart
Which ... From The Law Of Love
Light ... Life
Many, Longing ... Seeking Self
Did, Indeed, Depart!

No Holy God:
No Love ... No Light ... No Life!
No Holy God: Look Out!
Intense Becomes The Mortal Strife!
No Holy God
And
Desperate Becomes The Need
To Destroy Self And Others
And 

Upon This Dark, Dread, Damnable, Desire
Satan Does Enjoyably Feed!

Light In The Darkness Points The Straight Way!
Darkness Covering Light
And
Men Needing Christ The Lord
Become
Uncontrollable Strays
With Black Hearts
Dark Thoughts
Seeing No Possible Escape
And
Choosing To Go With The Flow
Their Heads With Consuming Evil They Drape
And
On Hate And Destruction
They Energetically Vape!

Measure The Man!
Map The Seeking-Truth Mind!
Mind The Kind Master
And
Holy Heaven, You Shall Surely Find!

Do Not With Known Sin Consort! 

Do Not Choose On The Low Road To Recline! 

The Lord Of Life Is Calling Man To Repent:

Choose To Live

To Love
And

Wittingly Decide Your Life In Light Is To Be Spent
Because

Jesus Christ Willingly Forgives Confessed 
And 
Repented-Of Sin
And
Know And Accept That 
His Love For Us Can Never Be Consumed

Never Over-Spent! 

Enduringly, Obediently, Trust The Lord Christ

Day In ... Day Out

And 

You Will Raise The Vault Of Heaven

When With The Redeemed Of All The Ages

At The Welcome Home Banquet

In Victory You Shall Shout! 

Pass Along The Sure Word ...

Jesus Christ Always, Always, Saves! 

Believe Him At His Blood-Penned Word

And 

You Shall Be Eternally Blessed
Because
On The Accursed Cross On Mount Calvary

He Gave His Eternal Word! 

I Beseech You, Brethren 

Please Do Not Join The Doubting, Gainsaying

Disbelieving, Disobedient, Faithless, Goat Herd!

Those Who Shall Live Forever
Belong ... Not To A Lost Herd
But To The Obedient Sheep Flock
Which Resides In The Only Safe Fold!

The Lord Christ 

Is

The Only Good Shepherd

The Shepherd Of Rest!

CONVENIENCE vs NEED: Oh, To Be Rid Of Self!

Righteous Self-Denying Works 

Is 

Married To Christian Experience!
Their Marriage Is Not One Of Convenience!
It Is A Marriage Born Of Faith, Love 

Mercy, Grace 

And 

Heart-Felt Need!

Their Hearts' Desire 

Is 

To Enduringly Walk To
And
Rightfully Enter Bliss Through The Open Door!

They Are Promised A Home
- A Forever Home -
In The Eternal City
To Live Forever In The Presence Of Shiloh
The Prince Of Peace
The Son Of God
The King Of Glory
The Hope Of Every Man!

You Should Be Made Aware ...

The Way To Their Wedding 

Had Not Been An Easy One!
Self Kept Interposing
Interrupting
Issuing Bilge Water And Bile
And
Attempting To Inspire Doubt
Regarding Deliverance From Sin, Self Himself

Satan, Sorrow
Death, Hell 

And 

The Never-Satisfied, Cold, Lonely, Grave!

Be Ye Warned ...

Self

The Bold, Base, Broad-Mouth, Rabid Sinner
Looks Like A Saint
Speaks As A Saint
But
Lives Undercover ... In The Shadows

And Is 

To All Intents And Purposes
A Leafy Green Fig Tree
No Good Fruit Expected!

If You Don't Understand
I'll Tell You Plainly:

Self Is A Barren Fig Tree!
He Is All Fronts And No Backs!

He Has Loads Of Foliage But No Fruit!
He Serves No Purpose To The Kingdom Of Light
And
He Is Cursed
Because
He Will Not ... Cannot
The Good King
- By His Shiftless Service -

Delight!

He Is Useless
Dried Up
And
He Will Burn Up
- Be Thoroughly Consumed -
To Become Ashes Under The Feet Of
Redeemed, Incorruptible
Immortalized
Glorified
Saints Of God And Christ

And

Believe It Or Not
Self Does Not Care!

Self Cares For Numero Uno
Selfish Selfie Self
And
He Loves It Like That!
He Has Placed The Lord Christ On The What-Not

You Are Useless But Look Good On Display

For All The World To Oooh And Ahhh Over Shelf!

Self's Prideful Position ...

He Professes Righteousness:

He Does Not Practice Or Possess It!

To Him And His Kind

The Will Of God Is What Self Wants:

The Lord Must Yield Sovereignty!

Feeding The Lord's Sheep Is Of No Concern To Him:

Sheep Are Foolish, Smelly

And

Need Too Much Shepherding!

He Has A Picture Mirror To View!

Self Knows Not The Saving Power Of Saving Grace:

His Remarks On This Are Unprintable!

As Regards Thorough Conversion Aka Changing

Self Is Very Clear That He Changed His Clothing

That. Day.

He's A Real Lost Cause!

The Facts Remain ...

• Self Is Not Earnest!
• Self Sees No Profit In Emulating Jesus Christ's Life!
• To Self, Prayers Speak Of Praise Of Himself!
• To Self, Surrendered-Will Is A Curse Word!
• To Self, Faith Is A Fraud Perpetrated Against The Gullible!
• Self Works For The Doubt-Meister - Satan - The Wannabe God Who Engineered The Murder Of Jesus Christ The Lord!
• Self Will Never Enjoy The Glory Of Almighty God!

Brethren,

Only Jesus Christ Saves!

Only Jesus Christ Heals!

Only Jesus Christ Seals!

Only Jesus Christ Reveals

The Way Of Hope

The Road To Surpassing Glory

And

All Who Hold Self Aloft

Will Pay The Ultimate, Unremittingly Harsh Cost!

Please Do Not Be Amongst The Unrepentant

Selfish Lost!

Jesus Christ Already Paid Our Price!

Only Fools Choose To Pay

Unnecessary Costs!

Those In Service Of The King

Must Sacrifice Self

To Rid Their Beings Of Love For Sin!

Only Then

Will The Race For Eternal Life

Be Considered

One That They're Winning!!!!

Popular Christianity!?! + PRAYER: Lord, Please Help Us To Stand Firm In The Faith ...!

Popular Christianity ...!

... Bite Your Tongue!

Okay! Okay!

Christianity ... Today
- Not The Magazine -
Is Very Popular
And
Everybody And His Brother
Has Got A Piece
To The Point Where Christianity
Is 

Unrecognizable
As That Wherein Jesus Christ 

Is

King
And
Where The Holy Spirit Of Truth
Brings The Weary Soul Comfort
And
The Human Spirit, Relief!

We Have A Problem, I Fear!

We Have A Big Able Problem
And
True Believers Should Be Afraid
For
This Christianity
Is 

Full Of Feelings
Parties Dances Dinners
Inclusive Busy Work
And
Profit-Driven Contrivance
And
Totally Lacking In Primitive Godliness
The Likes Of Which
Will Make Satan's Persecution-Eye
Angrily Murderously
Vengefully
Energetically Twitch!

Christians Ain't Fulfilling The Great Commission!

They're Collection Commissions!

You Ain't Lying!

I Feel Like Crying
For The Living Word Says
All 

Who Will Live Godly In Christ Jesus
Shall

Suffer Persecution!

Outside Is Too, Too Quiet!

One Thing Is Certain!
Either The Word Of Truth Is A Lie
Or
Christians Called Are Sell-Outs
And
They Are Living Ungodly Lives
So ...!

... Satan Doesn't Need To Bother Them!

He's Got Them Under His Gross Thumb!

Let There Be A Revival ...!

... A Real Revival
Not The Dancehall Rubbish
That Has People Jumping And Waving

And
Twitching Like Somebody Hit Them With A Cattle Prod
Rolling On The Floor
Barking Like Dogs And Hyenas
And Making Total Tools Of Themselves...!

... I Hear You!

... Let There Be A Revival Of The Innocent-Blood Faith
Once Given To The Saints
And
The Inquisition Will Ratchet
And
Satan's Minions Will Attack It
And
Blood Will Start Flowing
Like Rivers In The Spring Thaw
And
Those Who Are Straddling The Fence
Will
- With Alacrity -
Settle Into Two Clear Camps:

Living Like Jesus By Self-Denial In The Truth
Or
Living Unlike Christ For Comfort 

And 

Convenience 

In The Lie!

Time To Sigh And Cry!

There Are Terrible Abominations In The Land
Where Even Small Children Curse The Name Of Jesus
And
The Life Giver Is Patently Denied!

2 Timothy 3!?!

You Telling Me!

Yes, Indeed!!

May The Living God Eternal

Faithful Just And True

Have Mercy Upon Us!

PRAYER:

Dear Lord, Blessed Father

Creator And Sustainer Of Mankind

Please Grant Unto Us

Your Grace

So That We May Stand Firmly

In The Faith Of Jesus

Against Our Adversary The Devil!

Father,

Help Us To Return

To The Primitive Faith

Which Saw Our Brethren Of Yesteryear

Standing Resolute Strong

Unmoveable

Unshakeable

Preferring Death

Rather Than Be False Towards

The Lord Christ!

Father,

We Are Your Children

We Are Students

In The School Of Jesus

And

We Are Your Servants!

Please Guide Our Pathway

So That Our Feet Slip Not

And

Bless Us Daily

With Ever Increasing Faith

So That We Arrive Safely

At Hill Zion

On The Day Of Your Appointing!

We Love You, Lord

And

We Bless You

Even As We Ask These Few Mercies

In The Matchless Name

Of

Jesus Christ The Righteous

Our Savior, Redeemer, Lord

Forever Friend

And

Soon Coming King!

We Believe The Word!

Please Reward Our Faith

As You Have - By Blood - Promised!

AMEN!

SECULAR SELF-LOVE + A Prayer Against It!

The Day Was No Different From Any Other!

In The Old People's Vernacular
I Awakened
Said My Prayers
And Brushed My Two Teeth!
After Bathroom Detail
I Had Me Some Dry Oats
And A Warm To Hot Libation
AND
Looked To Start The Day
Without
Getting Into A Nasty Fight
With. My. Self

The Old Peace-Thief!!

Too Late!

Here They Come
Polished As Can Be
Secular Self-Love
AND
Temptation ... To Sin -
Wow!
They Are Wearing
The White Gloves!

Oh, Brother!

I Know What That Means -
They're Going To Try To Finesse Me
AND
Try To Make Me Want
To My Heavenly Father
To ... Lie?!

Yup!
Here It Comes!

I Can Feel The Urge A-coming To Say:

I Love Me!

I Love Me The Best!

The World's My Oyster!

I Am No Ice-Chest!

Oh, Boy!
Today Was Getting Off To 

Another Lousy Start!

I Will Not Submit!

I Will Not Submit!

Lord, Help Me!

PRAYER:

Father,

I Need You!

Have Mercy On Me!

I Didn't Do It When I Woke Up

But

I Am Doing It Now!

I'm Freely

Willingly

Eagerly

Giving My Self To Thee!

Lord,

Save Me From My Self!

Save Me!

Save Me, Now!

My Heart Before I Humbly Bow!

Lord,

My Self Is Trying

Of Me To Take Control

And

I Want No Part Of It

So, I Am Asking You, Please

Of My Life Take Control

For

I Want Willful Self

Outside

Of My Heart's Door!

This Secular Self-Love Has For Me

Been A Total Bug-Bear

And

A Really Grand Lie

For It Pit's One Against One's Maker

Encouraging One

The Love Of God To Deny!

When Secular Self-Love

Loves My Sinful Self

I Cannot

Your Voice Hear

And

When That Happens

Temptation-To-Sin

Screams Loudly

Unashamedly

In My Poor Ear

Urging Me To Willfully Ignore You

And

To Depart From Holding You

In The Necessary Godly Fear!

This, Lord, I Can No Longer Bear!

I Hate It!

Father,

I Have Battle Scars

And

I Desire None New

So

In The Faith Of Jesus Christ

I Give Also

My Will

And

My Way Unto You!

I Am Glad To Do This, My Father

For

I Know That You Will Take Care

And

With You In Control Of My Life, Lord

I Will Not End Up

Worthless

Useless

Hard

And

To Your Blessed Kingdom

Damned-For-Eternity Discard!

Thanks, In Advance

For The Save, Lord!

I No Longer Wish To Be

To Sin

A Trussed-Up Slave

And

I Totally Accept The Salvation Purchased

When Your Beloved Son Died

So That Me And My Kind

May Be Saved!

In Jesus' Name

I Make My Humble Plea

For

I Desire

In Peace

To See Thee

On The Great And Glorious Day!

I Love You, Lord!

AMEN.

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: FALSE ACCUSATIONS : Overcoming

In The Face Of Accusation
It Is Normal
Even Expected
That The Human Heart Should Fear
BUT
A Christian
Accused Wrongly For Right-Doing
Should
- In Gladness -
Cheer!

Was Not Jesus The Christ
Falsely Accused?

Yes, He Was! So We Are In Good Company!

The Day Is Here
When Wrong Is Right
When Evil Is Good
When Darkness Is Light
When In The Streets
Truth
Is Cruelly Cast Down
AND
Evil Surmising's Patina
Is On Fleek!

Lord, Have Mercy On Your Children Meek!

Dear Child Of The Father
Listen Unto Me!
Be Not Dismayed
At What Your Blind Eyes Doth See!
Your Body May Feel Real Pain
Your Heart May Hurt
But, Be Assured
Because
In The Eyes Of The Heavenly Father
You Are Smelling Daisies
Not Covered
Buried
In Sin's Light-Quenching Dirt!

So ...

Let Us Trust In Our Father's Provision!
Let Us Bask Beautifully In The Father's Care!
Let Us Rest Assured Of The Great Rejoicing
When 
With New Name In Hand
We Shall Celebrate In The Father's House!
In Anticipation, Let's All Say:

Hip! Hip! Hooray!

The Devil Is The Liar!
Evil Men Do His Dirty Work
BUT
Believing Ones Who
In God's Grace - By Mercy -
Do Firm Stand
Shall
In The Glad Day
With The Eternal Jesus Present
Glorify God
AND
To Heights Unknown Rise
Passing Over What We Now Call Skies!

Earth's Treats Are Sin-Battered Bitter
BUT
The Eternal God's Heavenly Treats
Are
Truly Beautifully
Salvation Sweet!

With God's Grace
Shining On Your Face
There Is Nothing
That The Devil Can Do
From God's Love
You To Displace!

Child Of God
Take Your Torments
Accept Your Lumps
AND

Bear Your Cross

In The Name Of Jesus
AND
With His Faith
You -  As An Overcomer -
Shall Bow Your Head
To Accept
Salvation's Gold Crown!

Charity Suffereth Long
AND

Is Kind!

Be Calm And Considerate

For

Your God Is Divine!
Misrepresentations Of The Faithful
Are His To Unravel
AND

False Accusers

- Always Guilty -
Will Feel
The Reverberation Of His
"You Are Guilty!"
Banging Gavel!

Rabid Sinners Gain All Now

To Lose All Later!

Obedient Saints Lose All Now

To Gain All Later!

Jesus Christ Saves

Fed-Up-With-Sin Sinners

Not

Self-Satisfied

Pretending-To-Be-Saints Saints!

When God Is Displeased!

Almighty God
Gave His Law Unto Man
Saying:

This Is My Law

Keep It In Thy Right Hand!

BUT ...

Man Was Presumptuous
Walking In His Own Way
Saying:

God Does Not See Me
I Will Run All About
And Every Which Way
I Shall Play!

God Was Displeased ...

First Came The Warnings:

You Are Not Walking In The Right Way!

Man Simply Ignored The Warnings
AND
Continued His Bad Play!

Second Came The Counsels:

You Are A Wayward Child

So I Shall Again Teach You My Ways!

Walk Faithfully In Them

And Don't Forget To Pray!

But ... Man 

Was Presumptuous
AND
Continued Walking 
In His Own Self-appointed Way!

God Was Displeased ...

And Next Came The Reproofs:

My Children, I Love You

And

You Need To Understand The Truth

That

Disobedience Has Consequences

And

I Will Not Permit You

To Run Around Unchecked

Wild And Loose!

Look To Yourselves
And Seek After Your Creator
And Change Your Ways

For 

The Time Is Soon Coming

When I Will No Longer You Reprove!

BUT ...

Stiff-necked
AND
Defiant
AND
Seeking Always To Satisfy Self
Man Became Hard-hearted
AND
Placed The Living God
On The Old Curiosity Shelf

AND ... God

In Compassion
In Love
AND
Blessed Fatherhood
Having Sent Forth Many
"Change Your Ways" Messages
In The Habit Of A Strict Disciplinarian
Stood Up

IN MERCY 

And Poured Out Real Judgments
Guaranteed To Bring The Hardest Heart
To Its Knees
Such That The Recalcitrants
Vocalized Their Great Hurts
Lamenting:

Father, This Pain Truly Hurts!

It Is More Than We Can Bear!

Forgive Us Our Trespasses!

Keep Us In Your Safe Church!

We Indulged In The Sin Of Presumption!

We Walked In Idolatrous Ways!

We Became God

And Left You As The Servant

And Our Lot Has Us Sitting

Quite Dazed!

Have Pity!

Forgive Us!

Bring Us Back Into The Fold!

We Are Your Willing Servants

And

Walking In Your Way

Is Now And Forever Our Goal!

AND ... GOD 

Forgave Them!

I Am Sure That You Know The Story!
Repentance Didn't Long Last
For
When You Mold God
Into Your Own Image
Judgment's Die
Is Known Cast!

God Forgives!
He Will Hear Us!
Call On Him 
AND
Get Your Personal Answer
Now!
Today!

So ...

Go On
AND
Give The Old Devil
The Heave Ho
AND
Watch God Bless You
As On His Business
You Diligently Go!

The Pleasing Of One's Self

Denies Us The Ability

To Please

The Holy God!
