PREACH THE WORD BOLDLY: The Folded Message

Tame And Lifeless Message Had Married
After Courage And Faith
- Previously Loved But Causing Problems -
In Their Relationship
Had Been Signally Shunned!

It Was Like This ...

Courage And Faith
Were Faithful Workers In The Service Of
The True And Living Eternal God
And
They Were Good Stewards Of Their Increase:

What The Lord Told Them
They Told Others!

What Good Food They Were Fed
With Such Good Food
They Fed ... Willingly Fed ... Others!

What Words Of Warning They Received
Such Words Of Warning
They Wisely Gave Others!

What Charges To Keep The Faith Of Jesus
To Walk In The Light Of Life
To Embrace Grace
To Meet Mercy
To Denigrate Self
To Uplift Christ
To Believe And Live
To Deny The Liar
To Love Truth
To Live For The Lord
To Walk With The Majesty Of Heaven
In Blissful Accord
They Delivered Said Messages
Even If 
Rotten Eggs
Soggy Tomatoes
Tar Balls
Intense Scrutiny
Unfair Challenges
Lies And Unworthy Speculations
Were Their Payment!

But ... 

As Time Passed
Self Interposed
And

Faith Waivered

And
Courage Failed
Because
The Messengers Were Not Taking The Time
To Continually Drink From The Waters Still
To Eat Substantially Of The Bread Of Life
And
Were Instead
Constantly ... Continually
Looking In At Self
Looking Down At Station
Looking Out At Position
And
Neglecting To Look Up At The Lord Of Life
The Sustainer
The Provider
The Guide
The Light
The Redeemer
Who Demands Of His Children
His Students
- His Servants -
The Walk Of Obedient Faith
And Not 
The Distrustful Wondering
Wandering 
Of Lying Eyesight!

It Was A Slow And Painful Decline
Seeking
- Always Seeking -
To Gain A Friend ... A Comrade
A Compatriot To Commiserate
And
Finding None Like-Minded
Like-Mannered
And
For Fear
Choosing To Conform
Instead Of Encouraging Others
To Be Transformed
By The Renewing Of Their Minds!

Facts Remain Facts ...

Contrary Winds Turn Around!
Molasses Rolls Down!
Floods Carry Along!
Hail-Stones Break Down
And

The Only Good In Their Lives
The Updraft Of Truth ... That Lifts One Up
To The Lord
Was Lost In The Shuffle Of
The Pounding, Probing, Twirling
Twisting, Tormenting, Upheaval 
Delivered
Compliments Of The Adversary Of All Men's Souls
Who Has Make Man Fall Goals!

Courage And Faith
Were Left Outside In The Cold
And

The End Result Was
A Crumpled Christian
Delivering
An Inbred Tame And Lifeless Message
Offering No Cutting Truths To Encourage Anyone
To Enter The Safe-Sheep Fold
The Safe Sheep-Fold
The Goal Of Every Saved Soul!

These Things Ought Not So To Be!

Brethren, Beloved

True Lovers

True Followers Of The Lord Christ

Please, I Beseech You

Do Not On This Earth

Plan For An Easy Life! 

The World Hated, Hates, Our Savior! 

You're His Servant! 

They Will, Likewise, Hate You! 

So, Cling To Him Who Loves Your Soul

And

Appearances And Offences

Will Not Ever Torment You! 

The Grace Of God 
Is
Always Sufficient

For Those Who Choose To Walk

In The Good King's Way

So ... Be Pleased To Suffer ... In The Here, And The Now

For Our Soon-Returning Lord

And

Look Up With Faith And In Love

For On The Wing Comes Not Only

Our Great And Glorious Reward

But

The Promised Damnation And Destruction Of

Sin And Satan

The Willful, Winsome, Wily, Wastrel Fraud! 

To Be Sure, Brethren

A Folded Message Cannot Be Read By A Child

Farless Taught

By A Brow-Beaten Concerned-For-Self

Supposed To Be Faithful

Minister
Servant
Student Of The Gospel Of Jesus Christ!

He Is Rendered Thereby An Agent Of Satan The Fraud

The Wannabe God! 

Trust, I Tell You
In Jesus Christ The Only One Righteous
Our Holy, Ever-Loving, Ever-Living
Almighty Matchless 
Willing Always To Bless, God! 

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: The Code Of God

Dear Pastor,
I Do Not Know Your Name!

Dear Pastor,
Your Christianity To Me Is Quite Strange!

Dear Pastor,
The Bible Is Not The Book Arcane
AND
Your Preaching Is Foolishness Writ Large!
Can You For Deceived Souls
Before God
Take The Eternal Blame
AND
The Eternal Shame?
Are You Of Heaven - As You Say - Really In Charge?

Philosophy Is Opinion Quite Grand!
Putting God Into It
Doesn't Change It From The Opinion Of Man!
Putting It In Church
Doesn't Bless It By God's Holy Hand
AND
Reviewing It In The Media Doesn't Give It Steady Legs
Upon Which To Grand Stand!

Jesus Saves!
Any Man Can That Understand!
Jesus Saves Man From Sin
Is Knowledge That Blesses
So Don't Hide It From Me
Saying That That Knowledge Is Too High For Me
AND
That It With My Pea-Brain Brain Messes!

Tell God's Truth!
My Brain Is The Same Size As Everybody's
So Don't Sell Me Down The River
Just Because Satan's Filthy Lucre's Wild
And Running
Fast Fit And Loose
To You Thou Fatted Goose!

You Have No Use For Heaven
AND
You Don't Want Me To Get In
So
Tell Me What I Did To You
AND
Why I Am Responsible For Your Sinning?

The Code Of The Living God
Requires My Coming Clean Before Him
Telling The Truth Of My Wicked Past
No Excuses Trivial Making!

God Requires Confession
AND
Repentance
For Our Not Walking In His Right Way
AND
Your Making The Living God A Liar
Is Not Going To Make God's Truth Go Away
Or Keep You Out Of Hell's Unquenchable Fire!

Almighty God Keeps Eternal Records
That You Can't On Your Computer Try To Delete!
You Can't Pay One Of God's Angel's To Change Them
Just Because
You Think That Almighty God Easily Tires and Sleeps!

The Book Of Life Bears The Names
Of All Who Accept Jesus' Sacrifice
Confessed Their Sins
Repented
AND
Received Forgiveness
From The Father For Them
BUT
The Book Of Remembrance Bears Record
Of All The Sins Of Men
Unforsaken
Unforgiven!

Dear Pastor,
I Know You!

Dear Pastor,
I Know Your Name
For
You Are Activated By Profit
AND
You Have No Shame!
The Profit You Covet
At The Cost Of Men's Souls
Will
- If You Don't Repent Of Your Gross Deceptions -
See You Dancing 
With Your Dying god Satan
Amongst The Burning Hot Coals!

P.S.:

Fire-Proof Suits Don't Work In God's Fire Lake
AND
Satan Who Deceives You
Cannot A Drop Of Water Give You
The Burning For To Slake

Sooo ...

Please Take A Page
From The Humble Christians' Ways To Please God Book!

Humble Christians
Who Know They Have Sinned!
Humble Christians 
Know They Need God
AND
They Tell God You're Sorry
For The Holy Way Having At Times Forsaken!

God's Plain Code For Living Life
AND
For Gaining Eternal Life
Is In The Preserved King James Bible
AND
Not In The Bible Written Suitable
For Your Benighted Penchant For Living
The Suite Sweet Life!

Almighty God Is The Eternal God

AND

He Has No Need 

To Constantly Have 

Carnal-minded Men 

Rewrite His Holy Word

To Make It 

Politically Correct

AND

Licentiously Current!

Stop Lying To God's People!
