VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Please Emulate The Master!

Glamorous Christian And Humble Christian 

Live In, Share, The Same House! 

When You See Glamorous Christian

Envy Rises In Your Poor Heart 

And 

You Say: 

"Wow! They Living Large!" 

When You See Humble Christian

You Say With Native Pride: 

"That Poor Soul! 

Thank You, God, For Your Blessing On Me! 

I Know How To Strive!" 

To You, I Say: 

Think Again! 

"You Talking Real Rubbish! 

The Lord Desires All Of His People 

To Be Prosperous-Looking, Rich

As Befitting Those Who Are The Recipients Of 

His Love And Grace!" 

To You, My Misguided Friend, I Say: 

Wheel ... And Come Again! 

The Lord, Himself, Said: 

"It Is Easier For A Camel To Get Through The Eye Of A Needle 

Than For A Rich Man To Enter The Kingdom Of Heaven!" 

"The Poor Will Be With You Always!" 

And 

"The Meek Shall Inherit The Earth!" 

Beloved, 

Self Is A Pride-Filled Sinner! 

Proud People Love Display 

And 

They Find It Hard To Give To Those 

Who Cannot The Debt Repay! 

Which Glamorous Christian Do You Personally Know That 

Has A Heart For God 

And

Is Willing To Dirty Clothing, Head, Hands, And Feet 

To Condescend ... As Our Lord Christ Did

To Wash Another's Stinky Feet!?! 

Service For The Lord Does Not Consist Of Pontificating

Sermonizing, Voguing, Closet Organizing

Philosophizing

Or Jewelry, Dress, Shoe, And Big Hat Sizing! 

By Contrast, I Present To You Humble Christian

A Sinner Known Confessing

Repentant

Seeing His Need For His Savior Dear

And 

Determinedly Striving For The Lord's Glory

And 

Petitioning His Maker To Help Him To Get There! 

He Prays! 

He Pleads! 

He Helps Others! 

He Plants Good Seed

He Walks And He Talks With All And Sundry

And 

He Has No Problem Doing Another Person's Foul Laundry! 

He Visits The Sick, The Good, The Bad, The Ugly

And 

He Has No Fear Of "What If!?!" 

Because 

He Serves His Dear Lord Willingly, Patiently, Gladly! 

Glad Rags Are One Thing 

But 

Glamorous And Glitzy Belong In The Trade Mags

And 

All Who Want To See The Lord ... In Peace

Must Their Hold On This Dying World Decidedly Release! 

Humility Is A Virtue: 

Pride Is Not! 

Look At Old Satan And See For Yourself That 

A Resident Of Holy Heaven He Most Assuredly Is Not! 

Please Do Not Get Me Wrong 

For There Are Those Who Carry Humility Too Far 

Which Then Becomes A Thing Of Pride: 

These Also Shall Not In Heaven Abide! 

Please Emulate The Master 

And

Be Grateful For What You've Got! 

Do Not Expend Your Blessings On Excess 

But 

On Being Faithful, Obedient, And Enduring 

So That You Shall Surely Become A Spiritual Success! 

Boast About Jesus  Christ The Lord! 

Peace! 

Law-Abiding, Immoral, Or Amoral!?!

Would You Ask For And Accept Help From 

Someone That You Knew Hated You!?! 

Are You A Commandment Keeper!?! 

Are You Immoral Knowing Right From Wrong 

But 

Maliciously Doing It Anyhow!?! 

Or 

Are You Perhaps Fashionably Amoral

Neither Recognizing Nor Accepting That 

There Should Be Any Law Governing Your Behavior!?! 

Are You Living Out The Word That 

You Are The Light Of The World 

And 

Being That Beam That 

Encourages Others To Walk Safely To Safety!?! 

Are You Living As The Tasty Salt Of The Earth 

Which Generates A Deep Thirst In Others 

Who Are Desiring To Know The Mine Aka The Mind 

From Whence Your Flavor

Your Joy, Peace, Goodness, Sweet Temper

Temperance And Gentleness Comes!?! 

Beloved, 

Satan Hates Our Lord Jesus And, So, He Hates Us: 

Do Not Desire His Dainties Which Are Laced With Death! 

An Amoral And An Immoral Christian Isn't! 

Love For Our Lord Christ 

Commands And Displays Our Obedience! 

Our Lights Brilliantly Shine 

And 

Our Salt-Selves Season! 

Please Let No Created Being 

Encourage You To Long For What Can't Pay 

And 

To Walk On The Path Own-Way! 

Commandment-Keepers Don't Die 

To Then Nash Their Teeth And Wail In Outer Darkness! 

Commandment-Keepers Sleep 

To Rise Up And Reap The Sweets 

Aka Enjoy The Myriad Blessings Of The Living Kingdom! 

Be Wise! 

Peace!

HAPPY SABBATH + The Exercise Of Wisdom Pays!

 

The Acquisition Of Knowledge Costs: 

The Exercise Of Wisdom Pays! 

Jesus Christ Saves:

We Know For Sure That He Saves! 

Of What Use Is Your Knowledge Of 

Jesus Christ's Free-To-You Salvation 

If 

You Don't, Can't, Won't Use It To Save Your Own Soul 

And 

Bless Others!?! 

With Knowledge Should Come Conviction! 

With Conviction Should Come Conversion! 

Conversion Leads To A Change Of Direction! 

The Changed Direction 

Should Lead To The Desired Destination Of 

The Forever-Blessed! 

The Forever-Blessed Shall Reside In Zion

The City Of The God Glorious! 

I Beseech Us All, Beloved, 

To Go For The Gold That 

Is 

Tried In The Fire Of Affliction 

Which Will Leave Us Pure, Undefiled, Blessed

And 

Sealed Against The Day Of Destruction

The Great Day Of Small Things

The Day Of Deliverance! 

Please Pray For Me As I Pray For You: 

The Effective Fervent Pray Of 

A Righteous Man, Woman And Child 

Availeth Aka Accomplishes Much! 

The Lord, Our God, Does Indeed See Us! 

May This Knowledge Help Us 

To See Him In The Beauty Of Holiness 

And 

Bless Us To Accept The Unspeakable Gift Of Life 

So Expensively Purchased For Each Of Us Individually!

Peace! 

HAPPY SABBATH + WILLING OBEDIENCE: Stand Up To Go Up!

All Lawlessness Is Sin:

Willful Disobedience

Is

Sin!

Willful Disobedience Flows From A Heart 

Filled With Putrid Pride 

And 

Stinks Of Idolatry 

Because 

It Places Sinful Self 

On The Throne Which Belongs To The Lord Christ! 

Idolatry 

Is 

Willful 

And 

Bold Sin!

That's Behaving Like You Made Yourself! 

Willing Obedience Flows From A Heart 

Filled With Love For Its Maker 

And 

Shows To The Dying World 

What True, Godly, Worship Looks Like! 

Beloved, 

We Are Children Of The Great King

And 

We Must ... By Thought, Word And Deed 

Choose

Willingly Choose

Lovingly Choose

To Walk In Perfect Obedience To The Lord

Following The Law Of Love

No Matter What The Naysayers, Unbelievers And Doubters 

Sarcastically And Spitefully Say! 

Look Around You 

And 

See With Clear Eyes 

The Plain Evidence Of What Happens To Those 

Who Choose To Willfully Walk "Wise" In Their Own Eyes! 

Look Again 

And 

See The Lives Of Those Who Faithfully Choose To Love The Lord 

And 

Show That Love By Staying Within The Law Of Liberty

The Law Of God

The Hedge Of Protection That The Lord Has Provided For Us 

To Shield ... Guard ... Ourselves From Sin 

And 

From Our Accusing Adversary, Satan ... The Very Devil! 

Stand Up To Rise Up: 

Willing Obedience 

Is 

Your Only Propellant! 

Love The Lord Christ! 

Keep The Holy Faith

And 

With Endurance

Obey And Be Blessed! 

Obedience 

Is 

Its Own Reward! 

Jesus Christ's Peace

Is

Always Perfect

For You And Me!

Mercy ... For Me And Thee!

The First Facet Of Almighty God's Character 
As Revealed To Moses
As He Abode Safely In The Cleft Of The Rock 
Secured By God's Own Hand
Was Mercy! 

Just So You Know
Mercy Includes Loving-Kindness
Grace, Compassion
And 
Forgiveness
And 
No Human Born Of A Woman Has Any Right 
To The Great And Known-Immense
Known-Infinite Mercy Of The Eternal God! 

Mercy 
Is 
A Gift Freely Given To Us Bold, Brash Sinners 
Who Deserve God's Justice! 

Beloved, 

Think On This: 
We Cry Out To The Lord To Hear Our Prayers 
And 
We Ask Him To Also Have Mercy On Us! 

Also Is Interesting In That It Means That 
We Have Hope ... Expectation ... That 
This Great God Will Add The Blessing Sought 
Because 
He Is Well Able! 

Be Wise ...

There Is The Day Coming 
When All Who Refuse The Free Gift Of Mercy-Now 
Will Plead For Mercy-Then 
But
Almighty God's Justice
Unmixed With Almighty God's Mercy
Will Be Thoroughly Poured Out! 

Soooo ...

Let's Not Be Amongst Those 
Who Know Not The Lord Christ ... The Truth,
Who Made Peace With The Father For Us 
So That We May Enter His Gates With Thanksgiving 
And 
His Courts With Joy-Filled Praise! 

Mercy 
Is 
A Rare Quality Which 
Is 
Found Only In Our God Almighty
Mighty To Save Us! 

Be Ye Armed And Thrilled ...

Humble Yourself And Pray
And 
Also Plead For The Forgiving God's Free Mercy 
To Bountifully Rest Upon You Today!  
Peace With Almighty God Is Free!

HAPPY SABBATH + COMPLETELY FORGIVEN: Holy Gladness ... Holy Boldness!

The Works Of The Lord Are Infinite! 

The Blessings Of The Lord Are Infinite! 
The Love Of The Lord Is Infinite
And

We Are The Crowning Work Of The Creations Of The Lord

Infinitely Blessed 

And 

Infinitely Loved! 

We Are Made In The Image Of The Lord! 

We Sinned Against His Holiness 

And

He Chose To Die To Save Us

Because 
He Is Love Divine
And
Has Infinite Love For Each And Every One Of Us! 

We Are Precious In His Holy Sight
And

We Have His Guaranteed Gift Of Forgiveness 
Available ... Just For The Asking! 

Beloved, 

Since We Are Forgiven By Asking

Shouldn't We ... Completely Forgiven

Be Living With Holy Gladness 
Impossible To Be Destroyed By Time, Terror
Situation Or Circumstance!?! 

Shouldn't We ... Forgiven

And

Cleansed

Approach The Lord's Throne Of Grace With Holy Boldness 
To Make Our Requests Known Unto Almighty God 
Who Gives Every Good 
And 
Perfect Gift!?! 

Our God Is For Us! 
He Died For Us! 
He Lives For Us! 
He Provides For Us
And 
He Is Preparing A Heavenly Place For Us
So Let's Live In Holy Awe 
And 
With Grateful Thanks 
For The Amazing And Good Working Of Our Lord Christ
- Through The Holy Spirit - 
In Our Lives! 

Remember, Remember
Don't Ever Forget ...

Our God Is The Good God: 
Talk To Him 
And
Talk About Him! 

Let's Praise Him From Whom All Our Blessings Flow! 
Peace! 

The Love Of God

Of Jesus Christ The Lord

Is Not
Delivered On A Curve
According To How Few Sins
We Daily Commit!

Jesus Christ Loves Us Each

As If We Are
The Only Human Alive
That
He Sacrificially Desires
To Personally Save!

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

Remember Your Value!

You Are Valuable

Because

The King Of Love

The Good Shepherd

The Shepherd Of Rest

The Savior Of Every Man

The Redeemer Of Mankind

The God Of Grace

The God Of Glory

The Creator God
God Almighty ... Mighty To Save

All-Seeing

All-Knowing

Ever-Present

All-Feeling

Says

You Are Valuable!
Live Like You Know And Believe It!

JUST A LIL' REMINDER: "... In The Presence Of My Enemies!"

Prophets, Priests And Kings Are Anointed With Oil 
And 
We Of The Household Of Faith 
Are Anointed By The Holy Spirit 
And 
All Of Us Are Set Apart For Use ... Holy Use! 

Please Let Us Consider The Blessing Which Attends Us: 
The Lord Of Life, Earth And Glory 
"Daring" To Show Us 
In The Very Presence Of Our Known-Rabid Enemies
- On A Table - It Ain't Going To Be Small
All The Good And Perfect Gifts That He, Himself
Is 
Spreading Out For His Children Who Dare, No
Who Delight In Loving 
And 
Leaning On Him
And 
Learning From 
And 
Obeying His Holy Word! 

Beloved, 

In The Day When Circumstance 
Is 
Being Unkind ... Even Cruel
Please Remember That Your Cup Of Heavenly Blessings 
Is 
Overflowing Even When You Can't Physically See It
Or The Dear One Who Is Filling It!

Consider This ...

The Promise Of Blessing 
Was Purchased For Us 
And 
Is Sealed With Jesus Christ's Innocent Blood: 
Believe The Word
Live The Holy Life 
And 
Prosper! 

The Lord Christ

Has Done

And

Is Doing

All The Heavy Lifting:

All We Have To Do

Is

Accept The Offer

And

Accede To The Will Of Almighty God!!

Just A Lil' Reminder ...

Please Remember That 
Working Faith Causes Our God To Show Up: 
His Blessing Cupboard Can't Be Cleaned Out 
And 
Your Cup Of Blessing Can't Run Out! 

Be Faithful! 
Be Prayerful! 
Be Thankful!
Be Obedient And ... Be Blessed! 

Be At Peace

With

And

In

The Eternal God!!

CHOOSING SATAN OR THE SAVIOR: You Cannot Be Forced!

Beware The Handshake
The Pat On The Shoulder
The Kiss On The Cheek
The Knife In The Back
From The Friend Who Is Foe
The Foe Who Is Fiend
The Merciless Adversary
Whose Heart Is Devilish ... Unclean!

Look Up To Jesus
The Author ... The Finisher Of Our Faith
The Giver Of Good Gifts
The Lord Of Creation
The God Holy Whose Words Are Ever Plain
Who Blesses
Who Rewards
Whose Tongue Is Not Forked
Who Heart Is Pure ... Wisdom
Who Love For Us ... To Save Us
Caused Him To Earth To Come Down!

One Is Light, Love, Hope, Truth, Righteousness!
The Other Is Darkness, Hate, Despair, Lies, Unrighteousness!
The One Who Is Light 
Is 
Love Offering Eternal Life
In The Mansions Of The Blessed!

The Other Who Is Darkness 
Is 
Hate Offering Eternal Damnation
With A Christless Life As A Precursor
To A Godless Death
Leading To Condemnation
And
The Prophesied Damnation
And
Eternal Separation From Him Who
Paid With His Holy, Blameless, Life
To Rid Our Souls Of Known Sin's Shame!

Jesus Loves Us 
Died To Save Us
Lives To Save Us
And 
He Saves Us!
Satan Hates Us
And 
Works To Destroy Us

And

We Have The Choice To Make
As To Whom We Shall Follow!

Will You Choose Life As Found In Christ Jesus
Or
Will You Choose Death As Found In Satan
And
From Which, Friend
There Is No Coming Back To Living Again!?!

Live As One Forgiven
And
Living For Jesus Christ
And 
Die As One Faithful To Jesus Christ
And
Rise To Live ... To Eternally Live
With Jesus Christ The Righteous Judge
The Conquering King!

Live In Sin For Satan
And
With Sin Unconfessed
And
Unforgiven
Die Willfully Unrepentant For Satan
And
Rise To Die Again ... Damned
Eternally Separated From The Lord Of Life
Jesus Christ The Lord 
The King Of Earth And Glory
The God Of Creation
Our Only Savior!

The Decision Is Yours ... Alone!
You Cannot Be Forced!
You Cannot Be Coerced:

You Will Be Encouraged To Deny Self, Sin And Satan
And
To Choose Life In Christ By Christ
Through The Holy Spirit Of Truth

And

You Will Be Sorely Tempted To Exalt Self
And
To Deny Jesus Christ's Personal Sacrifice For You 
And
Denigrate His Power To Save You
By The Adversary Of Souls, Satan!

You Will Be Tempted
But
Never Beyond Your Endurance To Resist
When You Reside In The Lord's Camp
Because
With The Temptation You Receive
- Which Is Common To Man -
The Lord Will Provide You With A Way Of Escape
So That In Triumph ... Against The Merciless Adversary
You May Victoriously Stand!

Brethren, Beloved

Be Wise Unto Your Own Soul's Salvation!
Grace Is Free!
Mercy Is Free!
Salvation Is Free!
Faith Is Free!
Forgiveness Is Free!
Blessings Are Free!
Heaven Is Free
But
To Get To Hell
You Will, Personally, For Your Own Ticket
With Your Own Blood
Your Purchased Soul
Have To Pay!

When We Don't Know Who Jesus Is

We Also Do Not Know Or Appreciate

The Blessings And Privileges Available To Us

Or Are Able To Utilize The Gifts Of Love

Presented To Us For Our Own Soul's Salvation

By Available Grace

And

Free Mercy

Compliments Of The Lord Christ

- Almighty God With Us -

Who Is For Us!

Choose Life ... In Jesus Christ!

LIVING LIFE: Progression!

Why Are You Always So Chirpy!?!

Why Are You Always So Snide!?!

Okay, You Two!
That's Enough!

Listen To Me Closely
And 
I Will Tell You True
How TAHC "Tablets"
Decide ... For You
How, In This Life, You Will Walk Through!

I Don't Take TAHC Tablets!
Lacy, Do You!?!

No, Lucy!
At Least I Don't Think So!

What Do You Mean, Bro. Purdy!?!

Lucy And Lacy
And
All Of You Here
Every Human Being Has TAHC "Tablets"
That They Each Take Every Day!

Some People Take TAHC
And
Walk On The Negative Side!
Some People Take TAHC
And
BOOM!
Positive Ride!

What On Earth Is TAHC!?!

Would You Agree With Me That
Every Human Thinks!?!

Yes, Of Course!

Would You Agree With Me That
Every Human Performs Actions!?!

Of Course! That's Natural!

Would You Agree With Me That
Every Human
Big Or Small, Old Or Young
Wise Or Simple, Rich Or Poor
Prince Or Pauper
Priest, Pastor, Pope, President
Prime Minister, Politician, Performer
All Have Habits!?!

That's For Certain Sure ...!

... And Sometimes Very Bad Ones At That!

Would You Agree With Me That
Each On Of Us On This Planet
- Seen And Unseen -
Has A Character!?!

Sure Do, And Some Very Bad Ones Exist!

Very True!

But, Bro. Purdy
You Haven't Said What TAHC Actually Is!

Oh, But I Just Did!
Weren't You Paying Attention!

Come On!
You Did Not Such Thing!

Jaden!?!

Yes, Bro. P!?!

Did I Not Just Indicate To You
What TAHC Is!?!

Yes, Sir!

Would You Care To Recap For Your Brethren
What It Is That You Heard!?!

I Sure Would, Bro. P!

Guys,
Bro. P Just Told Us Plainly That
All Humans Have
A. Thoughts, Perform
B. Actions, Create
C. Habits, And Build
D. Characters!

Come On!
All He Asked Was A Bunch Of Questions!
At Least That Is What I Gathered!

That's Shallow Thinking
And A Lack Of An Enquiring Mind!

Be Nice, Hailey!

Sorry!

Okay! Let's Go Deep!

We All Think So We Have ... THOUGHTS!
All Of Our Thoughts Lead To ... ACTIONS!
Actions Repeated Turn To ... HABITS!

And

Habits Form ... CHARACTER!

Now Please Listen Carefully ...

The Jump From Thoughts To Character
Is
A Very Short One
But
It Leads To Life-Altering Consequences!

You Are What You Eat!
You Are What You Think!
Your Life Is Created By Your Thoughts!

Remember 
What The Word Of Truth Says ...

 

What You Let In
Is
What You Will Live Out!

GIGO!!
Garbage In!
Garbage Out!
Nicely Said!

Now ...

Let's Talk Lucifer!

Oh, Dear!
This Is Not Going To Be Good!
I Can Feel It Already!

Thoughts BECOME Matter
Because
Thoughts ... MATTER!

Lucifer ... Thought!
Lucifer's Thoughts Mattered ... To Him

And

Lucifer

- Making A Mess Of His Matters -

Temporarily Wrecked The Peace Of Heaven

And

Permanently Destroyed 
The Once Peaceful Lives Of Numerous Angels

And

Then Proceeded To Leave The Life Of Man In Tatters

Because

He Wanted Mightily To Matter The Most
To All The Lord's Hosts!

When You Start Badly

You End Up Doing Badly

Because

Your Thoughts Are Skewed

Your Actions Are Deranged

Your Habits Are Defiling

And

Your Character 
Is Not 
One That Is Bright And Righteously Shining!

Sad! That's Really Sad! 

True! True! 

I Have A Simple Question

That I Want You To Uncomplicate

And

When You Have Your Answer

Please Feel Free To Explicate:

Do You Have An Unsubdued Heart

Where Selfishness And Willfulness Rule

Using You Like An Unsharp Tool!?! 

Find Out ...

How Much Does A Thought Weigh!?! 

How Much Is An Action Worth!?!

How Far Should A Habit Go

And

Why Your Character Should Be Sterling

Built Up From The Sin-Cure!

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

Brethren,

A Thought Holds The Weight Of The Intended Action!

An Action Is Worth The Input Necessary

To Make It Second Nature Aka A Habit
And

A Habit Is Integral To The Forming Of

The Anticipated Character

Which, To The Possessor

Is

Good Or Bad

Right Or Wrong

Profitable Or A Loss-Leader

Praise-Worthy Or Shameful

And

All Depends Upon Who

Is

The Key-Holder Of

Your Eternal Reward! 

So, I Ask You Plainly:
Upon Whose Name Do You Call!?! 
Do You Get Your TAHC From Satan, The Bold 
The Wicked Drug Dealer

Or

From Jesus Christ

The Great Physician

The True And Faithful Mighty Healer!?! 

Remember, Brethren 
Satan Always, Always, Enslaves
But
Jesus Christ The Righteous
Always, Always, To The Uttermost ... Saves!
