We Keep A Clean House 

But 

Have Dirty Minds! 

We Display Beautiful Faces 

But 

Practice Ugly Habits! 

We War With Each Other 

But 

With The Devil ... Not So Much!

We Decry Bad Behavior In Others 

But 

Excuse It In Ourselves! 

We Elevate Known Wickedness In Our Favorites As Self-Expression 

And

Denigrate Faithful Christians As Holy-Rollers And Jesus-Freaks! 

Beloved, 

Upside-Down Back-To-Front "Wisdom" 

Is 

Worthless, Useless, And Pointless 

For Both Seller And Buyer 

And

Believing That Satan Is Your Friend 

Because 

He Says Do What You Desire

And That 

Wrong Is Right 

Is 

Going To Book You A Berth In The Lake Of Fire! 

We Cannot Paint Truth Black 

And 

Color Lies White 

In The Belief That It Will Change Their Character: 

It Won't! 

Let's Just Accept That The Word Of God 

Is 

Ever True 

And 

Is Good To Fix What Ails Me And You! 

Join The Clean-Heart Club: 

Look Up To 

And

Put On Jesus Christ 

And 

Really Live! 

Peace!

REGENERATION: Radical Rebuild By Reformation!

How Do You Wish To Be Transformed!?! 

Will Icing On Ginger-Bread Suffice 

Aka New Hair-Do, Wardrobe, Eyeglasses

Table Etiquette And Language Lessons, And New Friends!?! 

How About An Attitude Adjustment 

As Can Only Be Accomplished By 

The Inward Working Of The Holy Spirit Of God 

With Your Total Cooperation!?! 

Beloved, 

To Accomplish A Transformation That 

Will See Us Arriving Safely In The Heavenly Land 

Requires A Gut Rehabilitation

A Very Painful, Uncomfortable

Unwanted But Necessary Strip Down

Rip Out

Scrape Off

Burn Off

Throw Out 

Radical Rebuild By Reformation! 

If You've Ever Cut Your Finger

Gotten A Stye In Your Eye

Broken A Bone

Gotten Burnt

Fallen On Gravel Or Cement

Gotten A Thorn Or Had A Sliver Of Wood

Glass Or Metal Enter Your Skin 

And

Have Endured The Revealing, Extraction, Cleaning

And 

Regenerative Process Required 

To Make You Whole, Fit ... Functional

You Know That Quick, Cheap, And Piece O'Cake 

Are Not Descriptions Thrown Around! 

The Lord Jesus Who Knows Us Each Individually 

And

Better Than We Will Ever Know Ourselves

Desires To Transform

Revive

And 

Reform Us To Render Us Ready 

And 

Able To Stand Before His Consuming Presence 

And 

Not Die! 

Just The Facts ...

Neither Buttercream Nor Royal "Icing" 

Will Cover The Rough Surface Of 

A Sinful Character 

Nor The Jagged Lines Carved Into Us 

By Walking Wild On Base Broadway! 

Be Encouraged ... 

He Who Calls Us To Be Transformed

Readies Us For 

And 

Accompanies Us In Our Transformation 

And

Has Already Footed The Big Bill For Our Bad Behavior! 

Jesus Christ The Righteous Paid For It All

So That All We Have To Do 

Is 

Accept The Service Of Sacrificial Love 

By Faith

With Cooperative Obedience

To Gain The Eternal Blessed And Beautiful Benefit Of 

The New Birth! 

Joy Comes In The Getting-Up Morning! 

Peace!

UNBRIBABLE JUDGE: Mortal Airs And Graces!?!

We Can Be Awfully Silly At Times 

With The Airs And Graces We Display Among Ourselves 

As Though We, Mortals

Have Heaven Or Hell Power Over The Lives Of Others! 

Imagine That Behavior Against The Lord Christ 

Who Holds Your Life In His Hands!?! 

We Offend The Lord 

With Our Lip-Service Prayers And Praises 

And

Abuse Him With Our Rank Disobedience 

And 

Base Idolatry! 

Beloved, 

How Long Do You Believe That 

We Can Continue Doing Business As Usual 

Before The Lord, In Mercy, Says:

"Enough!" 

Any Good Parent Explains To A Child What Is Wrong 

And 

What Is Right! 

The Parent Clearly States The Consequences 

Aka Rewards And Punishments

For Good And Bad Behavior! 

With Suitable Warning Against Bad Behavior

And 

Encouragement To Do The Good And The Right

"Paychecks" Are Awarded As Earned! 

Our Heavenly Father 

Is 

Holy, Faithful, Just, Kind, Giving, And Forgiving! 

He Is Also The Unbribable Judge Of All Flesh: 

He Will Do What He Says He Will Do! 

Foolishness Ain't Sense 

So Please Check Yourself Before You Wreck Yourself: 

Tread Softly! 

Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: The Obedience In Godly Love Pays!

Every Parent Knows The Signs! 

"Mum, I Love You! 

Dad, What Can I Do To Help You Today!?! 

Mum And Dad, You Know That I Love You!" 

These Are All Coded Phrasing For 

"I Need ...!

May I Have ...!?!

Will You Buy ...!?!

And 

If I Don't Get This, That Or The Other

I'm Going To Just Die!" 

When In The Past I Heard

"Mummy, You Know That I Love You!" 

My Response Was

"What Do You Want Now!?!" 

Or 

"What's It Going To Cost Me!?!" 

It Was Par For The Course! 

Beloved, 

We Treat Our Dear Lord The Same Way 

But

There Is Wrinkle Releaser 

On The Creased Linen Of Our Lives! 

Jesus Christ Knows Our Every Need! 

Jesus Christ ... The Lamb Of God 

Already Paid The Bill For All Of Our Bad Behavior 

And 

Jesus Christ The Lord Of Life Has Already Told Us Plainly

"If You Love Me

Keep My Commandments!" 

Ancient Knowledge Clearly Advises: 

The Proof Of The Pudding Is In The Eating 

Aka Walk Yuh Talk: 

Cheap Talk Ain't Nuh Load! 

Telling The Lord You Love Him 

Is 

Cheap Talk 

Until 

The Burden Of The Load Of Obedience 

Is 

Radically Applied! 

We Sin By Thought, Word, And Deed! 

Dare To Drop The Sinning 

And 

Choose To Love The Lord Our God 

By Good Thoughts

Wise Words

And 

Godly Deeds! 

Love Is Not Politics, Theatre Or Sport: 

24/7 Love Works 7/24! 

Love, With Willingness, Serves

And

The Obedience In Godly Love, Saves!

Peace! 

HAPPY SABBATH: INAPPROPRIATE WORDS CONDEMN: Silence Is Golden!

 

 

This World In Which We Live 

Is 

Notorious For Its Citizens' Love Of Being Loud And Proud

For Raucously Enjoying One-Upmanship

And 

Having The Last Word Spoken In Every And All Conversations 

Even If Their Position Is Erroneous 

And 

Their Behavior Patently Egregious Aka Shockingly Abusive! 

Beloved, 

As Children Of The Heavenly Father 

Bought Back From Death 

By The Uncomplaining, Quiet, Sacrifice Of Jesus Christ

No Committed Christian 

Should Ever Conduct Themselves In So Unseemly A Manner! 

Jesus Christ Was 

And Is 

Our Perfect Example 

And 

He Has Left Us With Ample Evidence Of 

How We Must Conduct Ourselves 

In The Presence Of Frenemies Aka Friendly-Enemies

Adversaries, Gainsayers, Doubters

Unbelievers And Disbelievers! 

A Common Adage 

Is 

"Let People Think That You're Stupid: 

Don't Open Your Mouth And Prove It!" 

As Travellers To Hill Zion

We Would All Do Well To Emulate Our Master 

And 

Dare To Keep Our Own Counsel: 

It Is Free! 

Think About It ...

Satan The Damned Ain't Almighty God

So He Can't Read Your Mind

And

People Like Yourself Can't Read Your Mind

Soooo ... Save The Eternal Holy God Of Grace In Glory 

Nobody Created Knows What Is In Your Heart 

Unless You Open Your Mouth! 

Brethren, Beloved 

Know Your Savior Who Calls You To His Side! 

Know His Saving Word That Blesses You In Truth To Abide! 

Know Yourself In Jesus Christ Who For You Willingly Died

And 

Choose To Let Your Appropriate, Golden, Silence 

Be Your Loud-Speaker:

Do Not Into Cheap, Nasty And Snide Remarks Dare To Slide! 

Inappropriate Words Condemn 

So Let Your Words Be Few! 

The Lord Christ Is Judge! 

Pray For Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Records Are Being Kept!

There Is A Record Being Kept In Heaven Of Our Words

Our Actions 

And

Our Influence ... Good Or Bad ... Over Others! 

Dig Deep ... 

If You Could See ... In Real Time Over The Long Haul

What It Is That You Cause To Happen In The Lives Of Others

Would You Continue Living The Life That You Now Lead!?! 

What Would You Change, By God's Grace, About Yourself!?! 

Beloved, 

We Have A Loving Heavenly Father 

Who, By Jesus Christ, Has Modeled For Us 

The Perfect Way To Speak, Walk 

And

Act Unto All People! 

Too Often, Though

In Total Rejection Of The Living Way

We Behave As Though Our Heavenly Father Hates Us

Or Is Trying To Make Our Lives Miserable 

With His Do's And Don'ts

And 

His Perfect Way! 

Open Your Eyes ... 

Please Recognize That Our Bad Behavior 

Is 

Not Going To Make Almighty God Lower His Standards 

Nor Is It Going To Cause Him 

To Love Us Less Than When Jesus Died On Calvary! 

Brethren, Beloved 

We Need To Recognize That Almighty God Is All

And

That We Have Nothing To Give Our Lord

Save Our Trust And Obedience

 

And

By His Saving Grace

We Must Come To Realize That 

Our Best Behavior Is Blessed Behavior!

We Are Nearing Home

So Let's Raise Our Standards! 

Let's Live Right 

And

Do Good Always 

And 

In All Ways Even Though There 

Is 

No Earthly Profit Or Apparent Benefit! 

Our Heavenly Father

Sees All

Knows All

And

Is In All

And

He, Alone

Blesses Us All!
