... And It Was All Because Of A Misspelt Word! That's An Interesting Concept! Filth Fail Faith It's Actually Quite Amazing! The Filth Of Sin Causes Us To Fail At Life But, Then With Jesus Christ's Words Of Truth ... Longingly Accepted - Lovingly Enshrined In The Heart - We End Up Utilizing His Daily Gift To Us Called ... Faith And The Promised Gift Of Eternal Life ... By Endurance Is Received! FAILTH! What A Word! This Is Worthy Of Further Examination! Indeed! This Is What I Can See Coming Out Of That "Word:" We Ail Because Of, And Because We, Sin! We Halt Between Two Opinions Because Of The Sin Of Doubt! We Know That Fat Is Synonymous With Sin But Glory Be To The God Of All Grace We Can Hail The King Of Glory And For Our Belief In The Living Words And Our Total Acceptance Of The Truth Aka Jesus Christ We Are Accepted In The Beloved! We Become The Children The People Of Almighty God! And Let's Not Overlook The Lift That We Receive When We Set Aside Self And Sin And Accept That Jesus Christ Saves And Blesses Us Because He Loves Us Sacrificially And Died To Save Us From The Cost Of Our Own Sin! Indeed! We Must Remove That Hat! With Jesus We Cannot Go The Alt Aka Alternative Way! The Way Of Jesus Is The Strait, Straight, Way! No Turning To The Left! No Turning To The Right! No Looking Back! No Turning Back! No Turning Aside ... To Fables! Onward And Upward Into Truth! Jesus Christ Saves And...! ... With Anyone Else, We Lose! We Must Trust Him Who Died To Save Man And Discard All Doubting, Guessing, Gainsaying And Hold On To The Extended Hand If We Will To Live In The Heavenly Land! I Love The Lord His Nail-Scarred Hand His Riven Side His Thorn-Pierced Brow His Willingness To Suffer And For Me And My Kind To Bleed And For This Gift Of Love Alone And By His Holy Hand I Am Determined That I Shall Daily Plant Productive Seed! Remember Apostle Paul! Indeed! In The Kingdom Of Truth And Light At The Lord's Banqueting Table, I Shall Feed! Brothers, Sisters, It Is Jesus Christ That We All Need! We Must Set Aside The Ways Of The World And Its Surging Greed And For The Savior Of Man We Must Honestly See And Humbly Express Our Truest And Great Need!
If We Don't By The Liar We Will Be Assailed!
The Good Ship Called Certain Hope Will Sail ...! ...But If We Worship And Bow Down Expressing Our Heartfelt Need
Our Salvation Will Be Achieved And Since It Has Been Dearly Purchased With The Life Of The Prince Of Peace The King Of Glory Will Be Hailed!
This Is Terrific, Brethren! Here's To Handing Satan ... Instead A Ginormous Fail!! Let Our Jesus Christ Be Praised! AMEN!!!
- Honestly - That Jesus Christ Is Creator Savior Shepherd Redeemer Anchor Rock Covert Healer Sealer Revealer Sustainer Lord King Friend Hope Help Way Truth Light Door Wonderful Counsellor Mighty God Everlasting Father Prince Of Peace Surety And Security?! Have You Considered Carefully That He Who Holds The World In His Hand
Also Holds Your Hand In His Hand ... Gently?!
Have You Considered
Carefully
That He Who Hears All The Prayers
Of Every Single Faithful Soul
Knows Your Name Personally
And Listens Personally To Your Prayers Avidly?!
Have You Considered
Carefully
That As A True Believer
- Trusting Obedient enduring And Faithful -
Regenerated By The Holy Spirit Of The Eternal God
That The Eternal God Has To Take Care Of You
And Cannot Let You Fail?!
Have You Considered
Carefully
That If Letting You Die Suddenly
Or Permitting You To Languish In Illness
Will Save Your Soul
That That Is What Will Happen To You?!
You Can't Prove That!
Where Are Your Two Or Three Witnesses?!
Can, Too!
Almighty God's Servant, Job:
Apostle Paul:
King David:
John The Revelator:
Oh! Never Mind! Whatever Happens To Us In This Flesh Jesus Christ Is Our Certain Hope Our Sure Help Our Only True Way Of Escape And Our Perfect Solace So We May Rest Easy And In Peace In His Love! So, What You Are Saying Is Look Up And Not In! In A Nutshell, Yes! Jesus Christ's Death Is Our Reconciliation And
Why Should Your Personal Choice Affect My Free Will?! Why Should Your Freedom To Make Foolish Even Egregiously Bad Decisions Cost Me My Life?! AND, FURTHERMORE Have You Even Considered How Each Person's Free Will Each Person's Free AND Personal Choice AND "No Man Knows The Day Nor The Hour
WHEN The Son Of Man Cometh!"Intersect?!
I Once Heard A Pastor Say That Because He Is So Certain Of His Soul's Sure And Promised Salvation That He Would Not Defend Himself Against An Intruder A Bandit Even If It Cost Him His Life Because It Could Lead To - AFTER His Demise - That Bold And Ravening Sinner Repenting Of Known Sin AND Coming To Jesus AND Being Saved For Eternity!
Maybe He Was Thinking Of What Jesus Said:
Greater Love Hath No Man
But He That A Man Lay Down His Life For His Friends!
And I Would Say That He Is Wrong?!
I Agree! Work Out Your Own Soul's Salvation!
Jesus Christ's Life Is The Only Life That Was
That Is
The Suitable Sacrifice For Sin!
Everybody Knows Right From Wrong! God's Law Is Written On Every Man's Heart So That They Are Without Excuse!
But What Of Innocent Blood As Seed?!
Indeed ...!
So We Come To The Crux Of The Matter ...
Tomorrow Is Not Promised! Now Is The Acceptable Time! Now ... Is The Day Of Salvation!
What Of The Martyrs?!
What About If We Confess Our Sin He Is Faithful And Just To Forgive Us Our Sin And Cleanse Us From ALL Unrighteousness?!
What About If Any Man Hear My Voice And Answer?!
What About Harden Not Your Heart?!
What Of
Get Wisdom!
Get Understanding?!
What Of
Let Us Hear The Conclusion Of THE WHOLE MATTERFear God And Keep His Commandments For The Living God IS Judge?!
What Of
My Reward Is With Me To Give Everyman According As His Personal Work Shall Be?!
Harden Not Your Hearts!
Be Ye Holy As Your Father Is Holy!
Blood As Seed Works While God's Mercy Is Still Working! It Won't Work When Man's Probation Is Finished!
This, Somehow
- To Me - Smacks Of A Certain Level Of Presumption ...!
... Just Like Death Bed Confessions And Death Bed Repentances!
Too, True!
Man Looks At The Outward Appearance!
Almighty God Looks At The Man's Heart!
Think About This:
You Stab A Man In His Heart ... Deliberately AND THENPlead With Him Not To Die ... As You Try To Save Him From Dying!
That's Presumptuous!
We Need To Confess Our Known Sin And Repent To God Every Day
In Jesus Christ's Name For No Man Knows The Day Nor The Hour WHEN The Son Of Man Cometh
Is All That I'm Going To Say!
Be Careful Ye That Think Ye Stand Lest Ye Fall!
No Man Should Take A Stance Like That Pastor!
We Daily Sin
By Thought Word And Deed
AND
We Need To Remember The Word:
Every Man Has The Same Opportunity
AND
We Should Remember That
The Soul That Sins
It Shall Die
AND
Unconfessed Sin Is Sin ... Unforgiven!
Any Final Thoughts ...
By Thy Word, Thou Art Justified! By Thy Word, Thou Art Condemned!
I Sincerely Believe That That Pastor's Idea Is Heaven-Daring Arrogance!
Nowhere In Scripture Will You Find A Saint Of God Presuming Upon God's Mercy In Such An Unseemly Manner!
We Are To Give Up Fleeting Things For Christ
And For The Sake Of The Gospel!
We Do Not ... In My Personal Opinion Have The Right Nor The Power To Decide That Our Life Is God's Seed
And Be Hopeful Of Something That In All Likelihood May Never Happen!
No Criminal Ever Said Or Will Ever Say:
I Shall Go And Kill Me A Good Christian Man
A Man Sure Of His Soul's Salvation
A Heaven-Bound Saint
And God ...
The Living Eternal God Of All Grace
Who Pays All
BUT
Is Paid By The Wilful Desire Of The Christian
To Be A Human Christ
AND
Who Knows The Thoughts
AND
Intents Of The Desperately Wicked Human Heart
Is Going To
- In Servile Cooperation
For This "Once Saved Always Saved" Man's Willing Sacrifice -
Convert Me
And Save My Soul
From The Second Death
Even Though I Am Wilfully Sinning
AND
Have Repeatedly, Flagrantly, Scorned His Free Grace
AND
Have Purposefully Chosen
The Way Wherein Lies
Death!
You Ain't Lie!
Wouldn't It Be Easier For The Christian In Faith For Faith To Pray:
God Have Mercy!
Save Me!
And Then Say To That Wilful Sinner:
In The Name Of Jesus Christ The Righteous
Stop!?
The Apostle Paul Consented To Murder AND By His Zealous Wrong-Headed Efforts Caused Many Christians To Perish!
Jesus Christ, Himself Met The Then-Called Saul - On His Way To Harm More Christians - AND Asked Him Why He Was Persecuting Not The Christians But Christ, Indeed AND Blinded Him AND Cast Down His Vain Imaginings AND Caused Him To Walk In Physical Blindness For Three Days - The Same Time That Christ Had Lain In A Sinner's Grave - To Ultimately Give Him Spiritual Eyesight!
He Repented
AND Was Converted AND
Physical Scales - At The Appointed Time - Fell From His Eyes
AND He Became
The Ultimate Warrior For Christ!
Paul Was Humbled AND
He Humbled Himself!
Not Once Did He Say:
I Shall Let Them - The Adversaries - Kill Me So That They - By My Personal Sacrifice - WILL Be Saved!
Paul Did All To Preserve His Life!
Paul Did Not Indulge In Heaven-Daring Arrogance Because He Had "An In ... An Inside Track To God!"
That Faithful Apostle
At His Life's End
Said:
Paul Trusted The Lord AND The Word Of The Lord AND He Chose To LIVE For His Jesus AND ... WORK ARDENTLYFor The Salvation Of Dying-In-Sin Dying-Through-Sin Men's Souls!
The Point Here Is ...
As Jesus Christ Asked The Murmuring Pharisees:
Which Is Easier?
To Say
Son, Thy Sins Be Forgiven Thee!
OR
Take Up Thy Bed And Walk!?!
Which In This Case, Is
Dare To Die For The Sinner
Who Will Perhaps Not Be Saved AND You, Yourself, Are Probably Also Lost Because We Sin Daily By Thought Word Deed OR Dial-Up Yourself Your Saving Jesus By Fervent Prayer AND Request The Angel Guard While Also Requesting That The Holy Spirit Meet The Evil-Doer Face To Face!
Brethren,
If You Say You Trust Believe Worship Praise Obey Honor
AND Glorify Almighty God In Your Person Do It All Day Every Day In Every Way In Every Situation!
There Ain't No Back-Door To Heaven! There Ain't No Special Pass-By-Here For Saints!
The Door To Heaven Is Jesus Christ The Lord!
AND The Key To The Door Is Living Faith!
The Way IS Straight And Narrow For We Must Live By Christ - The Way The Truth And The Life - AND We Are Not To Do Anything That Will Cause Us To Lose Our Crown AND That Free ... To All REPENTANT SINNERS Eternal Life!
Brethren,
I Caution You
AND Myself I Am Certainly Including:
Check Yourself Before You Wreck Yourself!
Let Us Ever Seek Out The Will Of Almighty God For Our Lives!!
Be Faithful ... Unto Death! Don't Call Death Unto You!
What Is Our Watch-Word?!
Jesus Saves ... To The Uttermost!
Please Do All
To Grow In Daily Grace
Through Your Working Faith For, Soon
- Very Soon - We Shall See Jesus Christ Face To Face!
In The Journey On The Doomed Ship Bearing Jesus Christ's Apostle Paul Was A Roll Call Of Mankind That Speaks To The Life Position Of Humankind All! In Life There Be Sailors Soldiers AND Passengers AND Prisoners, Too! Tell Me, If You Can Which One Are You? Sailors - Just Like Ships Ride The Waves Of Life's Sea In High Crests Through Deep Troughs Tumbled And Tossed Sometimes Becalmed Sometimes Resident For A Moment Upon Some Foreign Shore Where Strange Is Exciting Where Fun times Are Fast Where Wrong Move May Mean Incarceration Until The Company Lawyer Pays For A Go Home Free Pass! Some Men Are Soldiers Battling Ever In Some War Fighting The Elements The Enemy Known Unknown AND The Enemy Comfortably Resident Inside Of All Men! These Soldiers Are Committed Trained Loyal - 'Tis True BUT Lest You Forget Even Among Loyal Soldiers There Are Traitors Not A Few! Then There Are Prisoners Who May Have Been Sailors Or Soldiers Soldiering Sailors Or Sailoring Soldiers Men And Women Just Like Me And Like You Who True And Faithful To Their Calling Suffer An Enemy Broadside! Freedom Is Restricted! Freedom Is Denied! For Some They Are Caught In Condemnation's Flowing Tide Knowing That E'er The Next Sunrise The World Will Celebrate Their Demise! And, Then ...
There Are The Passengers On The Cruise Ship Of Life Living In The Lap Of Luxury Enjoying The Parties Insulated From Life's Strife! They Eat Of The Earth's Bounty! They Drink Of Sweet Nectars' Delights! Their Burden Is Acquisition Of The Best Entertainment Apparel Silver AND Gold With No Thought Or Concern For The Plight Of The Poor! In This Broad Scenario There Be No Absolutes For The Spirit Of God Flows Among Men This Is The Truth! All Start With Known Demerits For All Have The Sinner Mien BUT There Be Those The Called The Few The Chosen Who Have Answered The Call To Light AND Have Taken The Position To Be To And Of The Lord Christ A Bright And Shining Light Willing Ready Able For Truth To Valiantly Fight! I Have Been A Passenger AND A Sailor AND Now A Soldier AND A Prisoner Of God BUT I Know The Day Is Coming If Life Be Spared AND Almighty God Allows That I Shall Be Evil Man's Prisoner Because Of The Machinations Of The Furious Fiend Satan The Enemy Of The Living Eternal God! I Seek To Be A Simple Soldier! No Super Soldering For Me! I Seek To Be Captive To Jesus AND To Walk Before Him In All Purposeful Humility! I Choose To Believe God Is Faithful AND That In The Fulness Of Time I Will Rescued Be AND I Expect Fully To Be Rewarded Of God So I Will Not Serve Him With The Minimalist Mentality! Jesus Christ Gave His All AND I Accept On My Life His Call! By God's Grace I Am Off The Passenger Manifest AND See In The Shortening Distance Zion Hill's Beckoning Crest! My Back May Be Breaking BUT My Faith Is Not Shaking! My Eyes May Be Blind BUT My Heart Is To Its Living God Lovingly Inclined! My Feet May Be Weary! My Shoulders May Be Sore BUT My Head Is Safely Helmeted And I Know ...
