VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Almighty God's Law ... IMMUTABLE!

I Don't Care!
I Live Under Grace!
I Can Do Whatever I Want
And I Shall Still Be Saved Into The Eternal City!

Get A Hold Of Yourself!
You Know That You Are Talking Rubbish
So Please Stop!

Why Should I!?!
Grace Is Unmerited Favor
So I'm Good To Gone Home!

Darcy, Let Me Ask You A Question!
Did Jesus Christ Die To Save You!?!

Of Course, He Did!

Why Did He Die To Save You!?!

He Died Because Me And My Kind
Broke The Law Of God!

Couldn't Someone Else Do That Job!?!

Of Course, Not!
Innocent Blood Was Needed
And Jesus Christ Was The One Truly Innocent!

So Does That Mean That 
You Can Continue To Break The Law Of God!?!

Sure Does!
No, Wait!

I'm Waiting!
Can You Break The Law Of God
- At-Will -
Since Jesus Christ Paid The Price
For Your Personal Sin!?!

I'm Not Under Law!
I'm Under Grace!

So ... My Unwise Friend
For What Did Jesus Christ Die
And
Did He Really Have To Die!?!

He Had To Die!
He Personally Had To Die To Save Me!

Really!?!
So Does That Not Then Make The Law Of God
Immutable!?!

Huh!?!

Tell Him In Little Words, Willard!

Be Nice, Ferdy!

Why Should I!?!
He's Been Tormenting Us Forever
Calling Us Fools For Following The Law Of God!

Ferdy, Please Set The Example
That Is, Light A Candle For The Devil
And 
Make It A Good One!
Never Follow Fashion
If You Hope To Live In Peace With The Lord!

I'm Sorry!
It's Just That ...!

... I Know!
Just Remember: 

Christ's Character

Comes Before

Redemption's Elevation!

I'm Sorry!

Back To The Topic At Hand ...

If Jesus Christ
Had To Die To Save Man
- To Return Man To The Bosom Of The Father -
For Breaking The Law Of The Eternal God
Then
The Law Of The Eternal God
Is
As Is The Eternal God
That Is, Immutable
Unchanging
Enduring
Everlasting
Aka Eternal
No Matter What To Fallen Man
Says The Wily Fraud!

Lest You Who Elevate Yourselves
Above The Law Of God
Think That The Law Of God
Is
Yeah Or Nay
As Becomes The Desire Of
The Satan-Inspired Demi-God
Please Recognize The Fact That 
Since The Plan Of Redemption
- Organized Before The Creation Of The World -
Had To Be Activated
It Should Tell All And Sundry That
In The Life Of Fallen Man
The Law Of God Should Always Ever Assuredly
Take Primacy
Take First Place!

Please, Tip Toe ...

Think Carefully  
You Who Decide Which Part Of The Law
"Works Best" For You
And
Know That The Transcript Of God's Character
Unequivocally Says:

Wait A Minute!
I've Never Heard That Scripture!

Well, My Brother
You Just Heard It
And, Now
You Are Without Excuse
- Before The Eternal God -
For The Contrary Path 
You've Heretofore Been Taking!

And ...

Just In Case You Decide 
In The Alexandrian Philosophers' Wisdom That
You Have Doubts
King Solomon, Himself, Said:

Jesus Christ, Himself, Asked His Father
In Behalf Of His Brethren, To:

I've Got A Question For You:

What Does Preserved Mean!?!

Anything That Is Preserved
Is Something Made To Last
Beyond What Is Considered A Normal Life Span!

In That Case
- And Based On Your Response -
You Should Know That
The Word Of God Is Preserved!
King David Said:

The Word Of God 
Is 
Truth
And 
Just In Case You're Still Doubting
Hear King David, Again:

Would You Be So Bold
As To Denigrate The Word Of The God
Who Says That His Word 
Is
Magnified Above His Name!?!

I Think I'm Going To Be Sick!

Just Try To Be Sick Of Sin!
You'd Get A Better Result!

Let's Just Cut To The Chaste!
Give Him Timothy!

Oh, Yeah!

Oh, Man!
There Goes My Old Neighborhood!

That's Good!
It Needed Razing To The Ground!

Brother,
Let Me Give You A Word Of Caution:

What You Feel
What You Think Is Personally Right
What You Want To Do For Personal Comfort
Is
Never Above The Word Of God!

God Said "It!"
Believe "It!"
Let "It" Be Settled In Your Heart
Because
To Obey 
Is 
Better Than To Sacrifice!

Your Present Walk 
Is 
Leading You Toward A Monumental Sacrifice!
Avoid It Because It Is Avoidable!

Do Not Indulge In Presumptuous Sin!
You Are Not Against The Holy God Winning!
You Are A Pawn Of The Devil!
A Chess Piece In The Great Controversy
So
Be Wise Unto Salvation
And
Over To The Living God
Give Your Heart's Lease!
For You
He Is Sure Sin Relief!

The Mine Of Truth! + PRAYER: Thank You, Father, For Our Treasure!

The Holy Bible 

Is 

The Mine Of Truth
Where One Goes To Seek After Hid Treasure
And
All Who Rigorously Put Their Minds To The Task
Will Come Away ... Blessed
With More On Their Head Than A Feather!

Heavenly Value ...

The Mine Of Truth Holds Pure Wisdom
To Which Is Attached Grounded Understanding
And
If One Will Be Diligent
And
Walk Through The Open Door
There's To Be Found
The Vein Of Knowledge That
Blesses Sinners Saved At Their Inner Core!

We Have No Need Of Pick-Ax
Canary 

Shovel
Slut-Lamp
Wheel-Barrow Nor Broom

Because

There's Nothing To Hack 

Poison

Cart-Away

Nor Clean Up!

All We Need 

Is 

The Prayer Of Faith
And
The Willingness To Honestly Let Go
And
Let Jesus Christ The Creator
Sustainer Friend
And
Able Provider
Guard Guide And Lead Us
Out Of Our Darkness
And
Into Holy Light
As Beautiful Truth In Our Changing Hearts Bloom!

Looking Forward ...

Out Of Darkness ... Into Light!
Out Of Sin ... Into Truth's Life
Is
What Is To Expected
When One Applies The Effort Of Faith
And
Trusts The Source
And
Ceases
In This Life
To Be A Meandering Disgrace!

Truth Is The Truth ...

Remember My Brother
My Sister
My Friend
The Mine Of Truth

Is 

Utterly Portable
And
Always Relevant
Whether There Be Men
Seeking
Searching
Wearied Wondering

Hoping 

Looking Up

Or
Men Digging For Fool's Gold
And
Incubating Soul-Loss!

Be Ye Warned ...

Beware! Beware!
The Imitation Of Truth!
Beware The Mine That Encourages Impiety
And
The Wasting Of One's Youth! 

Beware The Teacher Preacher
The Prophet
The Priest
The Pope
Who Says The Mine Is Unsearchable
Unknowable
So, Therefore
We Must To Their Personal Wisdom Turn
If
- With This Life -
We Should Successfully Cope!

Heads Up, Beloved ...

The Creator God
The Provider Of The Mine Of Truth
Is
The Creator God
Who Gave The Agile Mind
To The Race Called Mankind
And
It Is He, Himself
By The Holy Spirit Of Truth
That Will Guide And Direct

And
Lead Each Of Us
- Personally -
Into All Truth
So That We Are Not Lost To The Kingdom Of Light
And
So That We May Become To The God Of All Grace
A Treasure ... Suitable
Finished ... Polished
Worthy Of A Presence
Before His Glorious Face!

PRAYER:

Treasure Without Measure

We Humbly Bow Before You Now

We Shall You

As We See Our Loved Ones Now!

We Love You, Lord

And

Ask These Few Mercies

In The Name Of Jesus Christ

The Soon Coming

And

Eternal King!

AMEN.

How Curious?!

It All Started

In

Eden's Garden

With

A Question?

And

A Lie!

The Satan-Indwelt Serpent

Issued Forth

The First Lie:

Hath God Said ...?

Thou Shalt Not Surely Die!

AND ...

From Thence Until Now

Man Listens To Lies!

Man Loves Lies!

Man Tells Lies!

AND

Man Kills!

AND

Man Dies!

Almighty God Said:
Be Fruitful and Multiply!
Man Says:
Mother Earth Is Too Small!
Kill The Babies! - Let Them Die!
Don't You Dare Overburden Mother Earth
By Becoming A Fruit Fly!

Almighty God Said:
Thou Shalt Not Kill!
Man Says:
Euthanasia And Suicide
Are Not Problems!
Red Alert! Red Alert!

Pain In Neither Mind Nor Body Should Hurt!

We Are Commissioned To:
Worship And Bow Down
Before The Lord Our Maker!
Man Says:
I Am God!
AND
Satan Laughs Loud And Long
For
He's Got Himself Another Taker!

It Is Required That:
All Hail The Power Of Jesus' Name!
BUT
Hail Satan Is The Rebellious Ones' Choicest Refrain!

Almighty God Says:
Train Up A Child
In The Way He Should Go!
Man Says:
That Is A Gross No! No!
Discipline Is Abuse 
Of The Darling Child's Delicate Ego!

Almighty God Says:
To Obey Is Better Than To Sacrifice!
Man Says:
Obedience Is For Fools!
Do What Thou Wilt
Is A Strategic Tool!

Almighty God Says:
Be Not Wise In Thine Own Eyes!
Man Says:
Chart Your Own Course!
Be Wise! Devise!

The Holy Word Says:
Unjust Weights And Balances
Are An Abomination Before God!
Don't Move The Old Land Marks!
Theft And Robbery Are Bad Business!
Man Responds:
Says Who?!
We're Just Adding More
To The Money Tally List!

The Living Word Says:
Dig A Hole For Your Brother
Dig One For Yourself!
Man Says:
If His Feet Don't Have Eyes
He's A Fool!
I Know The Terrain!
Life's Cool!

The Living Word Says:
Wine Is A Mocker!
Strong Drink Is Raging!
He That Is Deceived Thereby Is Not Wise!
Man Says:
I Only Drink The Good Stuff!
Can't Get Enough!
Good Stuff!
Good Stuff!

Almighty God Says:
I Am The Lord!
I Change Not!
Man Says:
Times Change And People Change!
Relevance Is Elegance!

Almighty God Said:
Man Leave Your Father And Mother
And Cleave To Your Wife!
Man Says:
Pick Any Partner!
Make A Way! Any Way!
Sex Is Sex!
Don't Get Me Vexed Today!

The Living Word Says Of God:
Man And Woman
Created He Them!
Man Says:
Poor Old God Didn't Understand
The Prime Mistake He Was Making!

The Living Word Says:
In The Beginning God ...!
Man Says:
What God?!
Aliens Made Us To Evolve
In The Primordial Soup!
Stupse! Stupse!

The Living Word Says:
Repent And Be Baptised
For The Remission Of Your Sins!
Man Says:
What, Really, Is Sin?!
Your Sin Is My Salmon!
Sin's In The Eye Of The Beholder!
I Want What I Want!
I
S how
I nitiative When I Have A
N eed!

God Said ...!
Man Says ... Otherwise!

AND ...

By Our Folly
We Deny Truth
AND
Him Who Is The Truth
AND
Whole-Sale Swallow Satan's Lies!
We Refuse Right-Living Easy
To Live Devilish Hard
AND
For This Reason
Many Will Receive
The Outcast's Red Card!

Yes ... The Lies 
Continue 
In This Modern Day!
Truth Is Relative
AND
Self-Aggrandizement
Is Said To Be
The Only Way To Play
BUT
Almighty God Is Alive And Almighty
AND
All Men Are Liars
AND
Almighty God's Word Eternally Saves!

Wha' Sweet'n Goat Mout'

Does Bu'n 'e 'n 'e Bam-bam!

*********

Presumptuously

Living In Sin Is Like

Maliciously

Calling The Emergency Service

For An Ambulance

To Go Shopping

And

Getting Hauled Before The Judge

For Fakery And Law Breaking -

You WILL Pay!

*********

Even In The Face

Of Rank Opposition

When You Know Right Do Right!

Belteshazzar's Feast ... As A Corporate Affair

The Companies Were All Gathered Together!
Business Cards Were Being Brandished That Day!
The Excitement In The Place Was Palpable
AND
The Minions Were Running Every Which Way!

One By One
Grand Titles Were Announced
Exchanged
Highlighted
Until All Had Been Identified
Save One
AND
Soon
The Room Became Quite Quiet
For A Company Title Was Necessary For All
So That The Business 
Like CLock-work
Could Be Efficiently Run!

The Supreme Leader Cleared His Throat
In An Officious
Official Manner
AND
Demanded To Know:

How Comest Thou In Here?
What Is Your Given Company Title?  
Care To Share?
And, Please Tell
Why Did Ye Not Cheer Like All For Uncle Billie's
Wild And Wily 
Corporate Raider Bears?

The Response Is Bold Quick ...

I Am On A Mission Of Mercy!
I Need No Company Title To Pose
But You May Call Me Servant Of God
For That Is The Only Position
I Need Or Hold
AND
I Do Not Indulge In Non-Beneficial Activities
That Are Instigated By The Fraud
To Defile
The Holy Vessels Of God!

There Was A Gasp!
A Roar!
Stunned Looks Of Consternation
AND
The Supreme Leader
Was Around His Gills Looking Quite Green
Then Red
As He Had A Fit Of Apoplexy
And Then
As He Came To Himself
He Became Vulgarly Mean!

His Tirade Was Blistering
Unkind
Evil
As He Dismissed The Living Word In The Bible
Denied The God Of Heaven
AND
Uplifted The Hand-Crafted Gods Of The Earth
AND
Spoke Dotingly
About The Rewards And Benefits
That Conforming Corps Men See
When They Play Ball
AND
When He Was Finished
With His Numerous Asides
All
Save One
In That Place
Were Roaring With Laughter
Wiping Their Tearing Eyes
AND
Holding Their Hurting Sides!

Well?!
What Have You Now
To Say For Yourself?

I Am The Servant Of God!
I Get Living Wages From You
For The Physical Work Of Labor That I Do
BUT
I Get My Rewards From The Holy God
Who Is Known To Have Made Me And You!

I Permit You To Rent My Talents!
You Own Neither My Conscience
Nor My Soul!
Your Rewards You May Keep
Or Give To Others As You See Fit
BUT
My Soul Is Anchored
On Christ The Righteous
And You
As A Leader
Are Truly Grossly Unfit!

You Know Right From Wrong
BUT
Truth In Your Eyes
In The Street Is Cast Down
AND
You Promise That Which
You Will Never Deliver
While Taking Pleasure
In Making Faithful Workers
In Your Presence
In Fear
Shiver!

Worldly Pleasures Don't
Can't Last
AND
Your Vile Pretensions
To Godhood
Show Upon Whom Your Lost Lot Is Cast
BUT
My Free Will Is 
By Almighty God
Free To Me
AND
I Choose That It Be
Inclined To Him Who
Rules The Universe Wide And Vast
Beyond What Lying Eye Can See!

Sanctioning Wrong
Does Not Make It Right!
Being Profane
Does Not Make Your Candle Shine Bright!
AND
Acting Inane
Does Not Make You
Any Less Corrupt And Vain
AND
Your Actions Show
That You Are Indeed
Undeniably
Insane!

AND

Using
AND
Abusing Man
The Purchased Vessels Of God
In Riotous
AND
Ribald Gaiety
In Honor Of The Fraud
By Denying The Holy God
Will Glean You No Blessing
In The Day Of Accounting
When You Are Raised From The Sod!

BY NOW ...

The Room Is Eerily Quiet!
Stunned Faces Are White!
The Supreme Leader's Knees Are Knocking
And He Looks Quite A Sight
For
He Has Been Found Wanting
For Every Word Uttered Is True
AND
There Is A Mass Exodus
As All 
Panicked
For The Doors 
Rush Through!

Brethren,
We Are Told:

King Belteshazzar
Bought And Paid For His Party Companions!
Dissension In The Ranks
In That Dispensation
Meant Sure Death!

Standing Up For Truth And Right
Against Might
Takes A Man Woman
Willing
By God's Grace
To Stand Firm In The Faith
AND
Put The Devil 
Decidedly In His Proper Place!

Our Working For Earthly Employers
Our Dependence On A Pay Check
Should Never Ever Be 
At The Expense
Of Selling Our Souls
To Achieve Corporate Goals!

From Personal Experience
I Once Had an Employer Tell Me
That I Was Hired To Work
Not To  ...  Think!

Hmmmm  ...

Beloved,
A Christian By Nature MUST Always Be Thinking!

Remember:

Be As Wise As The Serpent
And As Harmless As The Dove!
Our Father Is The God Of Heaven
AND
Our Only Command Performance
Is When The Bar Of God Opens
AND
We Must Explain Ourselves
In The Presence Of The Holy Spirit 
The Real Peace Dove!

Baubles Are Cheap By The Dozen!
Earthly Power Is Fleeting Always!
Damned Is That Wicked Devil
AND

All Who Wilfully Permit Him

On Their Blood-Purchased Souls To Prey!

Pray Without Ceasing!
Prayer Changes Things!
Put No Trust In Man
Horses Nor Princes
For The Living God Rules
AND
The Unbeliever
In His Holy Presence 
Of Necessity Winces!

Walk By Jesus' Faith!
Don't Live By Human Sight!
Satan Is The Devil
AND
Sowing Destruction 
Is To Him
A Glorious Delight!

So  ...

In The Name Of Jesus Christ 
Do Right
AND
The Love Of God
Will Give You Light
The Ever-Encroaching
Soul-Destroying Darkness 
To Valiantly Fight!

AND  ...

You Will Keep Your Conscience Clean
IF
On Jesus Christ
You Wholly Lean!

Parties Pass

But

Eternity Is Vast!

Aim For The Distance!
