HAPPY SABBATH + Lead Us Gently, Dear Savior! + PRAYER: Help Us To Walk Wisely!

We Sing With Relish 

"Savior, Like A Shepherd Lead Us 

Much We Need Thy Tenderest Care ...!" 

Are The Words Real In Our Hearts 

Or 

Are They Just Ink Stains On Nice Paper!?! 

Singing For Singing's Sake

Does Nothing For The Traveller On His Journey Home:

We Are Pilgrims And Strangers In A Strange Land!

We Are To Confidently Sing What We Believe 

And 

We Should Gratefully Give Praise And Thanks That 

Our Dear Savior Marks The Path 

And 

Makes It Plain For Us To Faithfully Follow After Him 

Without Fear 

And 

With Loving Fervor! 

By Contrast

Satan The Damned Slitheringly Follows After Us

Aka Dogs Our Steps 

Wherever We Are Disobediently Going!

 

Goat-Herders Follow 

Aka Chase After Disobedient, Known Own-Way, Goats 

Who Of Themselves Decide 

Where Their Shepherd Will Faithfully Follow After Them! 

Beloved, 

Jesus Christ ... The Only One Righteous

Is 

Our Shepherd Of Rest! 

Our Blessed Jesus ... Out-Front And Purposeful

Absolutely Knows Where He Is Leading His People

The Blessed Sheep Of His Verdant Pasture! 

Our Beloved Jesus

Is Not 

A Day's-Man Aka A Rent-A-Shepherd 

Who Bails On His Charges When Troubles Come! 

He Makes The Sure Way Safe 

And 

The Safe Way Sure! 

He Forgets Not His Own

Who Follow After Him By Choice!

No Paper Maps With Uncertain Marks Are Needed 

And 

The Every-Which-Way GPS System Of Fallen Man

Is 

Effectively Useless! 

The Only Way Is The Lord's Way To Surpassing Glory!

Our Jesus Christ 

Is 

The Loving Shepherd Who Also Created His Sheep

And

The Perfectly Positive Path For Our Feet

And 

The Perfect Place For Our Eternal Rest

And

We Can Never Go Astray

With Him Leading Us Gently On Our Way! 

PRAYER:

Lead Us, Heavenly Father

For

We Come In Faith, Nothing Wavering!

We Need Your Perfect Peace

And

Restorative Rest 

Your Sure Direction

Your Ready Provision

Your Able Protection

And 

Your Saving Correction! 

We Need You Now, Today!

You, Dear Lord

Are The Living Light That

Leads All Of Us Willing

To Eternal Life 

So, Please

For Undying Love

For Love Which Will Not Let Us Go

Help Us To Walk Wisely

In The Perfect Way

Which Will Never Lead Us

To Commit Sin And Be Made Ashamed!

Please Lead Us, Kindly Light

For Earth's Day Is Darkening Fast

And

We Need To Safely Reach Home

The Abode Of The Forever Blessed

Where Love Ever Lasts!

Of Our Known Sins, Father

Natural, Cultivated, And Besetting 

With The Humility Of True Repentance

With Contrite Hearts

We Confess!

Father,

We See Our Need

Of

Your Sure Salvation

And

In Jesus Christ's Holy Name

We, Bankrupt, Plead!

Please Forgive Us

And

Bless Us

And

Come For Us Soon!

We Love You!

AMEN!!! 

HAPPY SABBATH + Blessed Or Curse, The Choice Is Yours Alone!

How Are You!?! 

"I'm Doing Well!" 

Really!?! 

Are You Doing What Is Good And Right!?! 

"Well, Um, Ah ... You Know ...!" 

Beloved, 

Doing What Is Good And Right 

Should Never Be The Fish-Bone That 

Sticks In Your Throat

The Rose-Thorn In Your Hand

Nor The Nail In Your Foot! 

Being Good 

And 

Doing Right 

Shouldn't Make You Sneeze, Wheeze 

And 

Desire To Vomit 

Because 

It Is So Alien To Your Character 

And 

Your Way Of Life

And

A Cause For Mockery 

And

An Offense To Your "Friends!" 

When We Walk With The Lord Christ

We Walk According To His Will 

And

On The Path That He Shows 

And

Is Guiding Us Safely Along 

And

If You Have Bosom Buddies, Associates

And

Near And Dear Ones 

Who Are Urging You By Snide Remark

Petty Behavior And ... Evil Deed 

To Depart The Living Way

Dare To Be Very Courageous 

And

Choose To Live For The Lord 

Who Gives You Life And Health

And

Protection 

And 

Provision Every Single Day! 

Evil And Evil-Doers Temporarily Rage And Rise 

But 

Being Thoroughly Cursed

They Will Eventually, Eternally, Perish! 

The Saints Of God And Christ 

Will Temporarily Suffer Physical And Financial Ruin 

For Their Steadfast Faithfulness 

But

Being Truly Blessed Beyond All Human Thought

They Will Spiritually Flourish 

And

Eternally Prosper! 

Remember, Remember

Don't Ever Forget ...

You Are Not Alone! 

Truth And Faith 

Give Good And Right The Eternal Win: 

Pray And Plod On! 

Peace!

Blessed!

I Looked Into The Mirror
And From My Self Turned Away
And Looked Unto Him Who Was Behind Beside
Looking With Loving Eyes My Way!

I Know Him!
It Is The Master!
His Heart Is Courting Mine!
Sometimes To Him I'm Amenable!
Sometimes - Resisting -
I Behave Badly
Giving Him
What To Me
Is A Hard Time!

Time Passes
And I Grow Tired
Of My Struggling Against Him
And His Love!

He Said To Me: 

"Dear One,

In Me You Will Ever Find Love!

I Cause The Sun To Shine

On The Good And The Evil, And

My Blessings Upon You Do Not Depend Upon Your Input!"

"I AM Love!

I Love And Care For You!

I AM Comfort - You Are Blessed!

I Laid Down My Life

So That - In Me - You Will Find Perfect Peace And Sweet Rest!"

"I AM Always Available To You!

I Can't Force You To Love Me

To Trust Me

To Walk In My Way

BUT

If You Give Me Your Hand

In Sweet Fellowship

You Will Have Against Sin, Death And Hell

Made Your Glorious Grandstand!"

"Walk With Me Holy

For I AM Holy!

Keep My Commandments!

Do Not Follow The Word And Stray Away!

Keep Your Salt Dry And Accessible

And Don't Let Your Lamp Of Oil Run Dry!"

"Bless Me With Your Prayers And Your Praises!

I Bless You In Myriad Uncountable Ways!

Hold On To Me - My Hand Is Rock Steady

And You Will Stand Firm By Faith

Until The Coming Glorious Day!"

"Call On Me!

Come What May

Call - I'm Already On The Way!"

I - In Faith, Love And Trust - Called!

Before I Finished Speaking

My Master IS Here

AND

My Heart Sings!

Believers are Blessed

 Believers are Blessed

We clothe ourselves with humility

We arm ourselves with prayer

We bow before God as supplicants

We cast on Him every care and seek rest

We seek His will for our lives

We treasure His every word

His stripes are those that heal us

His tears our eyes wash and refresh

He has prepared for us a table

He anoints with oil our heads

He fills our cups to overflowing

He has fashioned us white robes and glittering crowns

We do not want for anything

He is our all and all

He by still waters lead us

We have nothing to fear should we die

He heals us all with His stripes

He doth sin-sick souls restore

He in righteous paths daily lead us

He makes us by green pastures rest

Sin cannot take us away from Him

He paid sin's price for our paths

His mercy and goodness shall follow us

While our lives on this earth shall last

And when at last through the valley

Of death's shadow we seemingly descend on our own

We have nothing to fear in the darkness

For He never leaves us by ourselves, all alone

Soon the trumpet of the Archangel resounding

Shall wake the dead and the living alert

All we who have placed our faith in the Savior

And we shall live in His House for eternity

New Page Added entitled "My Testimony"

Greetings, Dear Ones!

     I hope that your day was blessed, and that all is indeed well with you, and your loved ones!

     I have added a new page entitled "My Testimony!" It is indeed my personal testimony, and it is written as poetry.

     "My Testimony!" is the story of my journey toward finding my way back home to the Family of Faith (not that I ever left), and it was written about eleven (11) months after I came close to losing my life in an accident.

      I have one very clear memory of that event when, as I was in a crosswalk, a vehicle picked me up and tossed me out of my shoes and sent me flying through the air: I remember being physically, and very slowly and gently, let down to the ground.

      Afterward, I was told that I should have been dead BUT The Lord obviously had very different plans for me.

     My health, life and living were changed drastically, but I am thankful to be alive.

     I believe with all my heart that I am, and have been, kept alive for a purpose, and I am willing, The Lord knows when He will be ready for me, and He will ensure that I am able to perform whatever task He has ordained for me.

     It is my prayer that some one soul may be blessed by this outpouring,

BJC




   

Happy Sabbath!

Greetings, Dear Ones, and Happy Sabbath to you and to yours!

     Another Sabbath Day has arrived where we come together to tabernacle with the Lord, to sing His praises and to rest in Him!

    Let us all give thanks to Our Almighty God for this time we can spend together, and for the myriad blessings He, in His Mercy, provided to us throughout the week just past.

    The offering today is a poem entitled The Raindrops and the Song of Praise is Be Strong in the Lord. You will also find A Prayer of Thanksgiving!

    I pray that you all will have a Blessed Sabbath day!

Be well, and be gloriously blessed,


BJC

Greetings, Dear Ones!

     I hope your day was lovely!

     I have added another new poem entitled “Lord, Speak to Me!” which treats to the fact that we do indeed needThe Lord, and that we can't run far enough, nor be in too much trouble that He cannot fix!

Be blessed,

BJC
