... I Was Walking To The City
That Wonderful City Of God
But I Dreaded Walking Into The Last Town
Right At The Border That
We All Must Take Up Temporary Residence In!
We All Must Take Up Temporary Residence In!
Sounds Scary!
What Town Are You Talking About!?!
What Town Are You Talking About!?!
Endurance!
The Town Of Endurance!
The Town Of Endurance!
Nobody Can Enter The City Of God
Without Going Through The Town Of Endurance!
Without Going Through The Town Of Endurance!
What's The Big Deal!?!
It's Just A Town!
Everybody Knows That There Are Lots Of Border Towns!
Just Pick The One That Suits Your Needs
And You'll Enter The City Just As You Please!?
Dear Lord, Forgive Her!
Forgive Me For What!?!
I Didn't Do Anything!
Oh, Yes, You Did!
The Lord God Almighty Says That
Everybody Must Go Through Endurance
Everybody Must Go Through Endurance
And
You Just Bluntly Told Her
To Choose Her Own Way Into The Kingdom!
You Are Encouraging Her To Be Disobedient!
To Choose Her Own Way Into The Kingdom!
You Are Encouraging Her To Be Disobedient!
But What's The Big Deal About
How You Walk To Enter The City
How You Walk To Enter The City
As You As You Enter The City!?!
You Must Have Been A Very Own-Way Child!
No Disrespect, Sweetie
But
You Obviously Lack Discipline
You Obviously Lack Discipline
To Think That Almighty God Will Accept
Personal Travel Itineraries From His Chosen People
Personal Travel Itineraries From His Chosen People
Who Shall Be The Inheritors Of The Glorious Kingdom!
The Lord Of Life ... Almighty God ... Has Rules
And
They Must Be Upheld To The Letter:
And
They Must Be Upheld To The Letter:
No Sojourn In Endurance, No Entrance Into The Holy City!
There Are No Concessions For Pride, Selfishness
Disobedience, Doubt, Double-Mindedness Or Disbelief!
There Are No Concessions For Pride, Selfishness
Disobedience, Doubt, Double-Mindedness Or Disbelief!
If That's The Case
Just Go And Sit Down
And When You're Ready To Move On
Just Leave!
Ahhh, Ahem!
Who Did You Say It Is That You Work For!?!
Who Did You Say It Is That You Work For!?!
I Work For Light Bearers International!
Our Chief Is Lucie F'here!
She Started The Company
And Now It's In Every Country Of The World!
Our Motto Is:
Just Tell Us Your Taste
And
We'll Assuredly Light Your Fantasy!
Dear Lord And Father Of Mankind,
Please Have Mercy And Open This Young Child's Eyes
And Illuminate The Darkened Recesses Of Her Mind!
Felicity Joy!
You Are Being Grossly Deceived
By Whoever Is Telling You That
Self Is To Be Always Satisfied
That You Can Choose Your Own Way To Glory
That You May Arrogantly Flaunt The Laws
The Rules Of The God Of Grace And Glory
Our Judge And Our King
And
That You Can Enter The Holy City
Without Having Been Cleansed Of The Stench Of Sin
Without Having To Endure The Battle ... The Struggle
To Gain The Victory Over Sin
Death, Hell And The Cold, Cold, Grave!
A Caterpillar Becomes A Butterfly
Only By Struggling Our Of His Coccoon!
Sweet Girl, Let Me Tell You Something!
No Cross, No Crown!
No Time In The Crucible: No Polish Of Purity!
We Have To Be Changed To Be Blessed!
Plainly Stated, Beloved
There Ain't No Short-Cut To Almighty God's Glory!
It Is His Way Or No Way At All ...!
... But I Have To Get Into That City!
Excuse Me!?!
I Don't Believe That I Care For Your Phraseology!
This Is Not A Game
And
The Holy City Is Not A "That City!"
It Is The Throne Of The Majesty Of The Heaven
And
You Would Do Well To Take Inventory Of Your Motivations!
You Sound Peevish And Selfish!
Everybody Is Talking About The Holy City
And It Sounds So Beautiful And Free
And Life Is Going To Be Easy ...!
... Young Lady, Get A Grip On Yourself!
Those Of Us Who Desire To Get Into The Holy City
Desire To Get In To Be With The Lord Christ
Who Endured All Things ... Even The Cruelest Death
To Purchase For Us A Seat At The Father's Table
A Home In The Father's House
A New Name In Glory
Access To The Tree Of Life
And
The Water Of The River Of Life
And
The Glorious Gold Crown Of The Righteous Redeemed
Of Almighty God And Jesus Christ The Lord!
We Love The Lord Christ
And
We Desire To Please Him And To Bless Him
And
To Honor His Holy Name
And
To Walk In His Holy Way!
To Spend Time Successfully In Endure
Is
A Badge Of Honor
And
The Last Step Before We Enter ... Eternity!
We Shall Have Immortality
And
We Shall Have Incorruptibility
And
There Shall Be No More Sin, Sorrow, Nor Suffering!
We Know That We Have To Get Over
In Order To Cross Over And We Are Using
Our Gift Of Faith To Make The Journey Home!
I'm Sorry!
I've Never Had To Really Work For Anything In My Life!
You May Confidently Say That ... Well
Life Was Handed To Me On A Silver Platter
And ... Shame To Say
It Is The Same Way At Work:
I Do What I Want And I Get What I Want ... No Struggle!
It's The Same For All Who Are Employed There!
Can You Tell Me More About This Endurance That
You All Hold High With Such Loving Regard!?!
I'm Really Interested!
That Is Much Better!
Just Remember That
Christ's Salvation Involves True Faith ... And Real Work!
The Lord Has Made The Way Clear
And
We Have To Walk In It ... No Short-Cuts!

Let's Think About This Text:
Psalm 136 Has 26 Verses
And
The Word Endureth
In Relation To The Mercy Of God
Is Mentioned 26 Times!
Mercy Is A Facet Of The Character Of God
And
We Are Assimilating The Lord's Character
As We Strive For Entry Into The Living Kingdom!
The Lord's Mercy Endures
And
We Must Endure To Secure The Crown!
We Are Called To Endure All Things
In Our Striving As Only Those Who Endure To The End
- Be It Personal Life Or The End Of All Things -
Shall Enter The Kingdom!
An Endurance Meet Is Neither For The Fainthearted
Nor The Over-Confident!
It Is For The Prepared, The Persistent
And
The Prayerful Person Who Knows His God
Is In A Committed Relationship With His Lord
And
Is Determined To Enter The City
Even If Life Is Lost!
He Has The Promise
And
The Promissor Is His Master Who Endured All Things
To Save His Soul From The Second Death!
Endurance Is A "Blood Sport"
And
We .. You ... Have To Strive
For The Eternal Kingdom Win!
Are You Willing!?!
Yes! Yes, I Am!
Will You Help Me!?!
We All Will!
We Are Soldiers Of The Cross!
We Are Servants Of The King
And
We Willingly Serve Our Lord
To Bless All Of Our Brethren!
Thank You, Kindly!
