Be Mindful To Get Rid Of The Froward Heart!




To Have A Froward Heart 
Is 
To Be Habitually Disposed ... Given Over
To Disobedience And Opposition! 

Beloved, 

Why Would Anybody Calling Themselves 
A Committed To Christ Christian 
Want To Be Labeled An Abomination 
In The Eyes Of Their Maker, God, And King 
When They Know What Opposing Almighty God 
Cost Lucifer And One-Third Of The Heavenly Host 
And
What Disobedience Cost Adam And Eve 
And, By Extension, All Of Mankind!?!

Dear Ones, 

Whether A Rebel With A Cause
Or An Opposer For Opposing's Sake
Or To Avoid Being Called Goody Two Shoes
When We Know Better We Must Avidly Seek To Do Better 
Because 
Dire, Deadly, On Up To Damnable 
Are The Known And Noted Consequences! 

In The Old Days
When One Was Known For Flapping Their Yak 
Without Reason Or Invitation
People Would Call Them A Foreign Radio Station 
For Being Where They Shouldn't Be! 


The Lord Of Life
Personally
Knows All Of His People! 


We Are Of The Household Of Faith
And 
We Should Be Learning ... And Knowing 
How To Comport Ourselves 
As Upright, God-Fearing, Humble
Obedient Children Of The Father! 

Let Us Remember Whose We Are 
And 
Be Mindful To Behave 
As The Name We Bear Commands! 

Be Humble And Holy To Reach Home! 

Delight The Lord! 

Peace!

REGRET: The One-Way Trip In The Entrance-Only Conveyance!



Am I Become Your Enemy For Telling You The Truth
For Asking You To Rid Yourself Of Habits 
Which Will Rob You Of The Gift Of Eternal Youth!?! 

Beloved, 

This Question Should Hit Us All Hard 
As We Sojourn On This Earth! 

Are We Treating God's Gifts As Games Of Trivial Pursuit 
And 
The Rush To Our Pleasures As Special Treasures!?! 

The Lord Jesus Christ
For His Lived Life And His Loving Words Of Truth
Was Executed At The Request Of His Own People 
Because 
His Holy Way Accused Them Of Their Evil Ways! 

The Apostle Paul Ultimately Suffered The Same Fate 
For Telling The Truth That Saves! 

John The Baptist ... Jesus Christ's Fore-Runner
Died For Speaking Truth To Power! 

Let's Get Real Here! 

As Committed Christians Walking In The Light That 
Leads To Eternal Life
We Must Live Lives Above Reproach
And We
If We Love Our Brethren By Blood, By Faith
Or By Warmest Affection
Must Speak Up When We See Them Going In The Wrong Direction! 

Regret 
Is 
An Ugly Place To Visit 
Especially When You Have To See The Cold Form Of 
A Lost Loved One 
Making The One-Way Trip 
To Dusty Bed At Long-Home 
In The Entrance-Only Conveyance! 

Sin Is For A Season! 

The New Life In Christ Lasts For The Ceaseless Ages Of Eternity! 

Please Snatch Someone Out Of The Fire: 
The Lord Will Bless You In The City Of Everlasting Day! 

Do Right ... No Matter The Earthly Cost! 

Heaven At Any Cost Is Dirt Cheap: 
Bless Someone With The Knowledge Which Will Help Them
By Almighty God's Amazing Grace
To Safely Arrive There!

Peace!

Heaven Will Be Worth It All!







Practice Make Practical 
Aka What You Practice 
You Become Efficient At Performing! 

If You Make A Habit Of Being Kind
You Act Kindly! 

If You Practice Cruelty
You Act Cruelly! 

Beloved, 

The Nature ... The Character Of Our Lord Christ
Which He Requires To Be Reproduced In His Children
- The Saints Of God And Christ - 
Demands That We Practice Gentleness, Goodness
Kindness, Temperance Aka Moderation
Love, Justice, Faithfulness, And Truthfulness
And 
Be Giving And Forgiving! 

Is It Going To Be Easy!?! 
No! 

Can It Be Accomplished!?! 
Yes! 

Is It Worth The Effort Required!?! 
Most Certainly! 

Should I Be Willing To Try!?! 
Only You Can Answer That! 
Remember, Though, No Risk ... No Reward!

No Cross ... No Crown!

Is There Help Available!?! 
It's Just A Prayer Away!?! 

But What If There Are Slip-Ups!?! 
He Who Says Do It Is There To Help You Up 
And
Get You Back On Track! 

Dear Ones, 

Acquiring Bad Habits Requires No Effort: 
That's As Water Down The Hill! 

Acquiring Good Habits Requires Time
         Blood
                  Sweat
                           Tears
                                     Prayers
Endurance
         Faith
                 Hope
                          Love
                                  Trust 
And
The Patience Of The Saints 
Who Are Standing Firmly 
On The "Yeah!" And "AMEN!!!" Promises Of 
Their Creator, Savior, Lord, God, Redeemer, King 
And 
Forever Faithful Friend! 

Pray ... Because He Cares! 
Do ... Because It's True! 
Testify ... Because It Edifies!
Praise ... And Be Raised! 

Peace!

WALK IN WISE WAYS: Don't Be A Tormented Loser!






A True Christian Cannot Be A Christian In Name 
And
A Liar 
And 
A Thief By Nature: 
Our Walk Must Match Our Talk! 

The World Should Be Able To Set Its Clocks By Our Word 
And 
Know That It Is True 
Because 
They Know That We Are With Jesus Christ The Righteous
And 
Are Therefore Known Not To Be Dirty In The Dark 
And
Are Clocked As Uncompromising As Regards The Truth! 

Simply Put, Brethren Beloved
Our Morning Aka Daylight Words 
And 
Our Night-Time Aka Dark-Night Works 
Are Measurable On The Same Scale Of 
Honesty And Integrity! 

Beloved, 

No Matter What The World Is Offering To You 
Or 
Threatening Against You
Never Take The Low Road
The Path Of Least Resistance
Or 
The Way Of Comfort And Convenience! 

The Facts Stand ... 

Telling Lies For Pleasure And Profit 
And
Being A Thief Of Things, Property Or Reputation
Marks One As Being Unfaithful To Our Dear Savior
Unworthy To Bear The Family Name 
And
Unfit For Promotion To The Eternal Kingdom! 

Choice And Chance ... 

Let Us Choose To Be Contented In Christ Always! 
Let Us Choose To Use Our Opportunities Now
- While There Is Still Time -
To Get Rid Of All Cultivated And Known Bad Habits 
And 
Tendencies To Sin That Easily Beset Us
Which Will Cost Us Our Name 
And
Our Gifted Claim To The Living Kingdom! 

Remember, Remember
Don't Ever Forget ...

Liars Lose 
And 
Thieves Are Tormented: 
Don't Be A Tormented Loser! 

Live For Jesus Christ The King
And 
Walk In Wise Ways!

Conscience .... Hot Iron ... Seared!?!





"Let Your Conscience Be Your Guide!" 

That Sounds Easy Enough! 

But ... 

What If Your Conscience Has Been 
Seared With A Hot Iron!?! 

Hot ... Heat ...  Burns! 

Hot Iron On A Living Thing Cuts Into It
Burns It 
And 
Cauterizes Aka Seals It!

It Seals In What Is Already Inside The Body 
And 
Seals Out What Is Outside! 
This Is A Problem For Us! 

Beloved, 

Sealed-In Bad Habits Can't Be Removed 
And 
Good Habits To Cultivate Cannot Get In 
And
The Holy Spirit 
Is 
Emphatically Shut Out 
And, Therefore
Is Unable To Do A Good Work In Our Lives! 

Question Is ...

Do You Feel Sorry For Wrong-Doing!?! 
Are You Still Able To Blush With Shame!?!
 
Do You Even Care 
What Jesus Our Lord Experiences 
When You Do Wrong!?! 

I Sincerely Pray The Father That 
Every One Of Us 
Is 
Regularly Attacked By 
And
Made Truly Uncomfortable 
By A Working-For-Our-Good Conscience
 So That We Will Always Choose To Do What Is Right! 

Wither The Adversary ...

Satan's "Conscience" 
Is 
Dead 
So He Seeks To Kill And Destroy To Get His Jollies! 
Reject Satan And His Tempting Policies! 

Please Choose Life And Blessing 
And Not 
Cursing And Death! 
Let Your Conscience Freely Work: 
Pray Always! 


There Is No Secret Agenda
About
Perfect Peace With The Lord!!

The I AM That Is ... For Us!


 




It Is The Latest Catch-Phrase: 
"It Is What It Is!" 
And 
Everybody Is Buying And Selling It! 
Whoo Hoo! 

There Is A Bounding, Binding, Truth That Was
That Now Is
And
That Shall Be Forevermore: 
"I AM That I AM!" 
And 
We Would All Do Well To Run To It
Stand By It 
And
Live For It 
For It Is The Dear Name Of 
The Great God Who Is Our Maker, Savior
Redeemer, Friend, God And King 
And
Judge
Protector, Provider, Hope And Help
The Lover Of Our Souls Who Loves Us With A Sacrificial 
And
Everlasting Love 
Who Hates Sin 
But 
Loves Us Sinners
Who Will Not Clear The Guilty 
But
Will Cleanse Us Of The Guilt Of Our Own Sin! 

This God ... Our God Almighty
Is 
Amazingly Awesome 
And
He Is Slow To Be Angry With Us Frail, Finite 
And 
Often Foolish Creatures

 ... And ... 

Glory Be To Jesus Christ Who Saves
Through The Holy Spirit Of Truth Who Abides
He Loves Us With The Everlasting Love That 
Will Chastise Sin
Correct Bad Habits
Comfort Sorrow And Pain
Carry The Helpless
And
Celebrate Our Victories Over Sin And Self! 

Beloved, 

Let's Embrace The Unchanging God ... The I AM
And 
Celebrate That ... In Him 
We Have Salvation From Sin Known Sordid! 

Be Free: 
Almighty God ... I AM That I AM ... Is For Us! 


Pursue Peace With Shiloh
The Prince Of Peace!

EVIL DISEASE: Self Is A Fool!





No Bad Habit Will Bless
And
No Good Habit Will Curse
So, Let Us About Our Own Soul's Salvation 

Be Aggressively Bold
And
Put Bad Habits In The Gear Called Reverse!

Willful Sin Led Man Into The Curse
And
Jesus Christ Died The Baleful Curse To Reverse
So, Let Us Give Him "Thanks!"
Accept His Free Gift
And
Utter Unfeigned Praise
And
Put Satan On Notice That
Damnation Is Not Ours But His Hearse!

Salvation Is Free To Those Who Choose To Believe!
Damnation Is For Those Who Permit Themselves
To Be Deceived!
The Christ-Follower Is Not Foolish
Will Not Practice Anything Ghoulish
Will Not Be Mulish
Nor Behave About Almighty God's Laws 
As One Who Is Clueless!

Don't Live Your Life For The Crowd
The Views, The Thumbs-Ups, The  Hearts!
Let Your Heart Rest In Peace
Upon Him Who Is Our Peace
And
Depart From Self
Which Is A Known Evil Disease!

The Fool Says In His Heart That 
There Is No God 
So, By Extension
No Sin, No Judgment, No Reward! 
The Righteous Believe God's Word
And 
Tremble
And
Work Out Their Own Soul's Salvation With Godly Fear
Knowing That The Gracious God Holy
For Them ... Personally
Does Sacrificially Care! 

There Will Be No Fools In Heaven
So, Be Watchful! 
Be Wise
And
Let The Living Word Of Truth
Cause You Of The Dominion Of Doom
To Beware! 

Blessing Await The Lord Christ's Faithful! 
Cursings Await Satan's Faithful:
Do Not Let That Be You! 
Lift Up The Holy God!
Live For Jesus Christ:
He Is The Blessing God
- Never A Fraud -
And
Remember
Heaven Awaits The Faithful
The Just
The Kind
The Enduring
The Obedient
The Ever-True! 

Benediction ...


May The Lord Grant Unto Us
A Clean Tongue And Eyes
Unstopped Ears
A Heart Of Flesh Filled With His Love
And 
A Willing, Wise, Obedient
Loving, Faithful, Cooperative Spirit 
Useful In His Service! 

Peace Be Unto You!

ONLY ONE JESUS CHRIST: The Personal Savior!





You Have A Savior
- The Savior -
Who Is Your Best Friend
And
Your Personal Savior
And
Your Personal, Private, Guide 
To Almighty God's Eternal Life!
You Know, Life Without End!

Let No Thing
No Person
No Bad Habit
No Pet Sin
No Personal Demon
No Adversary Known
Get In Between Your Purchased Soul
And
Your Loving Savior!
Your Savior Is Here, Personally, For You!

Your Savior Loves You ... Sacrificially
And
It Is His Desire That You Trust Him
Because
You Believe His Love For You Is Really Real
And
You Love Him In Return
No Holding Back: He Gave His All
- His Very Life's Blood -
To Save You ... Personally!

I Understand What You Are Saying
But Why Do You Keep Stressing On The Word 
"Personally!?!"

Beloved,
I Do That So That You Will Understand That
The Relationship Is Intimate
Consensual
Committed
Spiritual ... Not Carnal!

When Your Master Is Your Savior
Your Creator, Lord
Your Best Friend
Your Provider
Your Sustainer
The Omnipotent, Omniscient
Omnipresent, Omnipathic
True And Living Holy, Eternal, One God
You Must ... You Will ... Realize It By Plain Evidence
- Never Force -
And
Accept The Plain Truth By Working Faith

For Love
And
Reach For The Extended Hand
That Shall Lead You ... By His Grace
Out Of The Degraded Life Of
The Spiritual Disgrace!

By Grace ... I Am Saved! 

We Will Stand Before The Lord ... Clean! 

I May Appear Before The Throne Of Grace ... Boldly!
By Faith, I Shall See Him Face To Face!
I Shall See Him As He Is
Just As He Sees Me!
It's Quite Amazing, Actually!

Almighty God 

Is 
The Consuming Fire To Those That Live For Sin
But
Because Of Our Faith, Love
Our Willing Obedience ...!


... Our Overcoming-Endurance ...!


... Our Steadfast Walking In Wisdom

And
Our Choosing Salvation Over Known Sin
At The Time Appointed Time 

We Shall Be Able To Approach Unto Him Physically
And 
Not Be Consumed!

Do You Realize That His Daily Gift Of Faith To You
To Me ... To Us
When Diligently Worn
And
Conscientiously Worked
Renders Us Fire-Proof!?! 


Twice!


What On Earth Are You Talking About!?!

Satan Has Fiery Darts
Usable Only In This Vale Of Tears!

All Of Satan's Darts Are Useable And Fiery!
He Uses Them Strategically!
He Desires To Cause Us To Forget That
Our God Is Able
So That We Will Bale Out On The Truth
That In Christ Jesus We May Trust
And
He Can Throw Us Under The Bus
Manufactured By His Base Lies
Wrapped In Shimmering Sable
And 
We Are Left At Sea
No Boat, No Bucket, No Submarine
Sold Out To Sin At The "I" Sale
And
Robbed Of The Blessed Opportunity
- If We Are Recalcitrant, Unrepentant -
Of Receiving Of The Eternal God
His Everlasting Life Seal! 

Trust In The Lord Forever:
In The Lord Is Everlasting Strength!
Be Wise: Walk, Work, Wait
And
Don't Indulge In Sinful Worry!

Watch, Brethren
And 
Be Instant, Be Constant, In Heartfelt Prayer! 


Jesus Christ Our Lord
Will Not Despise
A Broken And Contrite Heart:


Believe ... And Live!
