King David Prayed
And
Asked The Lord To Keep Him In The Word
So That He Would Not Sin Against The Living God!
The Living God Is Holy
And
Sin And Sinners Cannot Exist In His Presence!
King David Desired To Be In The Lord's Consuming Presence
And
He Knew That Sinning Would Put Paid To His Heart's Desire!
Beloved,
Consider This ...
We Have A Nasty Little Habit Of
Vainly Attempting To Fix The Results Of Our Sin
Instead Of Seeking To Rout Out The Source Of Our Sinning
By Attaching Ourselves To The One Thing
Which Would See Us Turning Away From Sin!
Think Of It Like This ...
You Have An Open Bag Of Rotting Garbage
On Your Center Table In Your Well-Appointed Living Room!
Flies, Roaches, And Mice Are Showing Up Non-Stop
And
The Smell Is Stomach-Churning, Eye-Watering, Stink!
You Set Mouse-Traps
Set Up Fly-Paper
And
Put Out Roach Motels!
You Invest In Costly Fragrance Sprays
And
Aroma-Therapy Burners!
You Are At Your Wit's End
Majorly Inconvenienced
And
Are Seriously Thinking To Sell Your House!
In Cataloging What To Take With You
Position Number One On Your Clip-Board
Is
The Stink-Bag!
What Will You Achieve
By Such An Upside-Down Back-In-Front Loss-Leader Move!?!
So That You Know The Right
Your Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth
Is
Wrapped In Plastic So That It Doesn't Get Dirty!
It Has Never Been Used Save But To Make Sure That
It Has 66 Books
An Old And New Testament
Genesis In The Beginning And Revelation At The End
The Books Of The Psalms And The Song Of Solomon
And
The Four Gospels!
You Don't Care To Know About Samson, King Saul, Judas
Or Abel, Seth, Enoch, Noah
Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph
Moses, Job
John The Baptist
Jesus The Christ
Stephen Martyr
Or Revelator John!
Remember, Remember
Don't Ever Forget ...
Short-Sighted Can't See Far
And
Far-Sighted Don't See Near!
Why Sell A Good House
When You Can Toss Out The Stink-Bag
After Reading Your Bible!?!
A Visit To The Great Physician
- Purveyor Of Wisdom, Knowledge, And Understanding -
To Receive Efficacious Eye Salve
Is
Decidedly In Order!
Peace!
Unconfessed, Unrepented, Sin
Kept In The Heart-House
Is
As The Stink-Bag Of Rotting Garbage
Kept In Your Living-Room!
