VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: GIFTS: Leaven!

The Gifts Of Leaven Were Being Handed Out
And
The Age-Old Serpent
Beelzebub The Bold
Distributed Leaven Of Malice
Leaven Of Jealousy
And
Leaven Of Evil Surmisings!
They Were All Quite Cold!

**--**--**--**--**

Jesus Christ The Righteous
The Eternal God
Man's Only Savior
The Lamb Slain From The Foundation Of The Earth
Freely Gave As His Gift Of Leaven
The Holy Spirit Of Truth
Which Is Light And A Delight
Who Causes Believing Men To Do The Right
And
Not His And His Own Brethren's Lives To Blight!

The Gifts Are As Different As Night Is From Day
And
By These Two Gifts
The Battle Lines For The  Possession Of Eternity
Have Been Deeply Cut And Boldly Drawn!

Something Must
Something Will Give
For
Gift Good Or Gift Bad
Man Will Live
Until The Great God Says That
Enough Has Been Had!

Jesus Christ Is The Good Leader!
Beelzebub The Bold Is Nothing Else But A Bottom Feeder
And
All Who Are Denizens Of The Unredeemed Band
Are Assuredly His
And
Will Not Against The Glorious Light Stand!

They Thrive On Doing All The Evil That They Possibly Can!

Vile Is The Venom Of The Leaven Of Malice!

Bitter Gall Is The Taste Of The Leaven Of Jealousy!

Egregious Is The Leaven Of Evil Surmisings
And
In Combination Their Effluent Not Affluent
But
Always Truly Virulent
Causes The Poor Recipient's Sure Demonizing
Causing Many On Their Knees To Crawl!

By Contrast
The Good Gift Which Comes Down From
The Father Of Lights
In Whom Is No Shadow Of Turning
Provides All That There Is The Willing Faithful Soul To Delight
And
Is Pure
And
Easy To Be Entreated And Seen
And
Is Possessed Of Nothing Putrid
Vile Disgraceful Or Known Unclean!

The Facts ...

Man Has A Will!
Man Has A Way!
Man Has A Choice:

Be Blessed To Be A Blessing
Making The Heart Of The Creator God Rejoice

Or

Follow Fashion!
Indulge Hateful Passions!
Do What Thou Wilt!
Indulge Greed For Gain To The Hilt
And
In The Great Day Of Small Things
Wilt!

Don't Be Wayward, Brother Sister!
Don't Let Self Guide You Into Known Sin!
Jesus, Savior
Friend, Redeemer
Is 

Truly Able  To Cleanse The Stony Heart Within!

Trust Is Not Dead!
Bad Pay Did Not Kill It!
The Lord Christ Is Mighty To Save!
Trust The God of The Word
And
Believe The Transcript Of 

The Character Of The Shepherd
Who Leads The Obedient Flock
But
Never Pushes The Willful Goat Herd!

Self Is A Sinner!
Conscience Is Our Guide!
Hope For Heaven Springs Eternal
And
In The Love Of The Holy God
We May Confidently Abide!

We Do Not Walk Alone!
Jesus Christ For Our Sins Did With Innocent Blood Atone!
Bless The Lord Who Daily Blesses Us
And
Don't Ever Forget That
Prayer Is the Medium
By Which We May Keep In Constant Contact
With The Holy God
Who Sits Upon Heaven's Great Throne!
