CLUB OF INDULGENCE: No Value In Virtue?!

Rejecting Reproof
Had Amassed A Substantial "Fortune"
Rolling The Dice Of Self-Deceit
In The High Roller Haven
Club Of Indulgence!

He Is Right Now Headed
- Self-Righteously -
For Loss Of The Soul
That Dale Of The Damned
The No-Come-Back-From Land!

This State Of His Affairs
Was Long In Coming
BUT
Inevitable
BECAUSE
He Considered His Objectionable Traits Of Character
- Penchant For Perjury, Ignoble Deeds Etc. -
Attributes To Be Cultivated
AND

Admired!

He Roundly Despised Being
Reproved
Corrected
Directed
Chastised
BECAUSE
- As He Said -
They Stymied His Personality
Prevented Him From Being Him Self
AND
Stopped Him From Excelling!

Just So You Know...

He Is Also Given To Excess In Making Excuses!

Whoever Sought To Reign Him In
Was Called Jealous
Fault-Finding
AND
For Good Measure
Was Accused Of
Every Vile Thing Imaginable!

He Became A Lil' Satan! 

Rejecting Reproof Accused 

Accused Accused
The Brethren
AND
Refused Refused

Absotootulootly Refu-sed
From Wrong Paths
To Take The Narrow Road Called Turn-Back!

What Is Really Hurtful
Painful
Sad To See
Is That
He Has The Ability
The Skill
The Potential
To Be A Real Success
In The Service Of The Kingdom's Lord!

It Could Still Happen ...

He, Regenerated
Reformed

Faithful

AND

Enduring All Things For The Lord
Would Receive Heavenly Rewards!

I COULD Tell You That
He Is Just Satisfied With His Own Bad Attitude
Behavior
Character
AND
Was Just Walking In HIS Own Way
BUT
Alas And Alack ... I Can't!

Rejecting Reproof Started Acting ...
Well, He Wasn't Exactly Acting ...
He Started
AND
Continued Behaving
Actually Performing
Like A Plague Rat:

Scratch!

Whisper, Whisper! 

Scratch! 

Bite! 

Pee! 

Move On ...!

If You Know Anything About The Ellipsis
You Have To Know
That THAT "Move On ... !"
Actually Means
Move On To Another Victim
AND
Start. All. Over. Again 'N Again!

Rejecting Reproof Is Just Like That!
AND
To Prove It
He Roundly Despises
Denigrates
Disapproves Of
True Honest
Just Pure
AND
Lovely
AND
Poisonously Hates That One Called Good Report
AND
Finds No Value In Virtue
AND
Wants No Poor Man's Praise
AND
When Called To Account
Emphatically States:

These are Not Things That I Choose To Think About!

He Lives On Boardwalk Own Way!
He Prefixes Every Comment Of Gravitas With:

I AM ...!"

He Refuses To "Take A Knee!" In Contrition
Or For Repentance
AND
Cannot Visualize
The Profit In Prayer

Nor The Prize For Purity
So
Don't Try To Paint Him Any Picture!

He Does Not Care!

Well ...

I Shall Here Say:

Today Fuh Me! 

Tomorrow Fuh You!

Every Day Got A 4 o'clock

AND 

Every Pig Got Sa'rday Mornin'!

Comeuppance Is Coming
AND
No Matter How Slow 'e Roll
He Ain't No Way Never Late!
Whenever He Arrives
He IS On Time!

Oh-Oh!

Don't Look Now
BUT
He's Heeere!

A Word Of Warning:

The Stone That The Builder Rejects
Is Become The Cornerstone
Aka
The Correction That You Reject
Is The Very One That Will Save Your Life!

Jesus Christ Was Not Comely
BUT
His Message Of Salvation Says:

Come Ye ...!

Need I Say More?!

PRAYER: Father, You Warned Us!

Oh, Lord, Our Lord

How Excellent Is Thy Name In All The Earth!

I Come Before You, Lord

With A Heart That Is Burdened!

Lord, Please Hear My Prayer!

Why Are We, Lord

So Willing To Trust The Polished Person

Who Has A Microphone

Pinned To The Chest Or Held In The Hand?

Why Do We Choose To Believe In One

Who Moves Like An Eel

And Speaks In Dulcet Tones Of Tempered Steel?

Why Cannot We Accept

That Your Word

The Word Of The Living God 

Is Eternally True

And Stop Listening To The Learned Ones

Who

Even Among Themselves

Hold Contrarian Views?

Why Do We Trust The Words

Of Those Who Cannot Trust Themselves 

To Trust Their Own Word

And Then Walk Around Mooing

In The Wilderness

Like A Thirsty Hungry Cow Herd?

What Is There

In Our Blind Eyes, Lord

That Causes Us To By-pass The Plain Truth

And Avidly Reach

For The Exotic Lie

Proffered By He Who Calls Faith

The Panacea Of Those Who Love Pie In The Sky?

Father, You Warned Us:

Make No Man Your Strong Arm!

Put Nor Your Trust In Princes!

Father, In Your Holy Writ Is Plainly Written:

Not By Might

Not By Power

But By Your Spirit, Saith The Lord Of Hosts!

So, Why Are We Putting Our Faith 

In The Soiled And Shaky Hands Of

Corrupt

Corruptible

Corrupting

Satan-Inspired

30-Pieces-Of-Silver-Is-The-Fee

Three-Trillion-Dollar-Church-Is-Business Men?

Father, You Offered Up

Your Precious Gold - Your Son

For Us!

The Cost To Us: Free

And Wicked Men Chose

To Buy Gold With Silver

To Become The Power Elite!

Jesus Christ Died Once

For All

But ... He Cannot Make Us Love Him 

For His Sacrifice Of Love!

We Must Go To Him

Of Our Own Will

Bearing The Flag Of Surrender Bold

And Yet ... And Still

Our Hearts Remain Stone Cold!

Father,

I Hang My Head In Shame

For Crucifying The Lord Christ

Time And Again

And Plead For Daily Grace

To Help Me To Never

Pound In The Nails Again!

Have Mercy On Me!

I Don't Want To Face Your Justice

As Jesus Christ Had To Face Himself

Without An Intermediary!

Oh, Lord

I Have My Own Cross Taken!

Please Carry Me And It Along!

I Love Thee

And I Need Thee, Lord

For

Fit Me For Heaven

Is My Heart's Burden

Cry

And Song!

Lord,

When You Shall In Your Holy Kingdom Come

Please Remember Me

And All The Holy People

Who Fear And Reverence Thy Name!

AMEN.
