Popular Christianity ...!

... Bite Your Tongue!

Okay! Okay!

Christianity ... Today
- Not The Magazine -
Is Very Popular
And
Everybody And His Brother
Has Got A Piece
To The Point Where Christianity
Is 

Unrecognizable
As That Wherein Jesus Christ 

Is

King
And
Where The Holy Spirit Of Truth
Brings The Weary Soul Comfort
And
The Human Spirit, Relief!

We Have A Problem, I Fear!

We Have A Big Able Problem
And
True Believers Should Be Afraid
For
This Christianity
Is 

Full Of Feelings
Parties Dances Dinners
Inclusive Busy Work
And
Profit-Driven Contrivance
And
Totally Lacking In Primitive Godliness
The Likes Of Which
Will Make Satan's Persecution-Eye
Angrily Murderously
Vengefully
Energetically Twitch!

Christians Ain't Fulfilling The Great Commission!

They're Collection Commissions!

You Ain't Lying!

I Feel Like Crying
For The Living Word Says
All 

Who Will Live Godly In Christ Jesus
Shall

Suffer Persecution!

Outside Is Too, Too Quiet!

One Thing Is Certain!
Either The Word Of Truth Is A Lie
Or
Christians Called Are Sell-Outs
And
They Are Living Ungodly Lives
So ...!

... Satan Doesn't Need To Bother Them!

He's Got Them Under His Gross Thumb!

Let There Be A Revival ...!

... A Real Revival
Not The Dancehall Rubbish
That Has People Jumping And Waving

And
Twitching Like Somebody Hit Them With A Cattle Prod
Rolling On The Floor
Barking Like Dogs And Hyenas
And Making Total Tools Of Themselves...!

... I Hear You!

... Let There Be A Revival Of The Innocent-Blood Faith
Once Given To The Saints
And
The Inquisition Will Ratchet
And
Satan's Minions Will Attack It
And
Blood Will Start Flowing
Like Rivers In The Spring Thaw
And
Those Who Are Straddling The Fence
Will
- With Alacrity -
Settle Into Two Clear Camps:

Living Like Jesus By Self-Denial In The Truth
Or
Living Unlike Christ For Comfort 

And 

Convenience 

In The Lie!

Time To Sigh And Cry!

There Are Terrible Abominations In The Land
Where Even Small Children Curse The Name Of Jesus
And
The Life Giver Is Patently Denied!

2 Timothy 3!?!

You Telling Me!

Yes, Indeed!!

May The Living God Eternal

Faithful Just And True

Have Mercy Upon Us!

PRAYER:

Dear Lord, Blessed Father

Creator And Sustainer Of Mankind

Please Grant Unto Us

Your Grace

So That We May Stand Firmly

In The Faith Of Jesus

Against Our Adversary The Devil!

Father,

Help Us To Return

To The Primitive Faith

Which Saw Our Brethren Of Yesteryear

Standing Resolute Strong

Unmoveable

Unshakeable

Preferring Death

Rather Than Be False Towards

The Lord Christ!

Father,

We Are Your Children

We Are Students

In The School Of Jesus

And

We Are Your Servants!

Please Guide Our Pathway

So That Our Feet Slip Not

And

Bless Us Daily

With Ever Increasing Faith

So That We Arrive Safely

At Hill Zion

On The Day Of Your Appointing!

We Love You, Lord

And

We Bless You

Even As We Ask These Few Mercies

In The Matchless Name

Of

Jesus Christ The Righteous

Our Savior, Redeemer, Lord

Forever Friend

And

Soon Coming King!

We Believe The Word!

Please Reward Our Faith

As You Have - By Blood - Promised!

AMEN!

Climbing Jacob's Ladder!

Jesus Christ The Savior

Brought Divinity Down To Earth!

Jesus Christ The Redeemer

Took Humanity Up To Heaven!

Jesus Christ The Righteous

IS

The Only Way To Get Up To The Father!

Jesus Christ The Sovereign Lord

Our Only King

Creator God

Master Of Everything

IS

Our Ladder

Our Stairway

To The Heavenly Home!

I Am Climbing Jacob's Ladder!

I'm A Soldier Of The Cross
AND
I'm Clinging Unto Christ Jesus
So That My Soul Will Not Suffer Loss!

Of My Own Self
I Can Do Nothing
Whereby I May Save My Own Soul
For
All That I Do
Is Tainted By Sin
Selfishness
AND
Disobedience
'Tis True
AND
This IS Why Man Cannot
Of His Own Merit Get To God's Heaven
AND
This, Therefore
Is My Appeal To You:

Deny Self
AND
The Liar Bold Vain!
Deny Self
AND
Get God's Glory
To Remove From You Sin's Shame!

Deny Self
Though The Dying World Call You Lame
AND
Heap Upon You
Maledictions
AND
Other Words Gross Profane!

Disobedience Brought
Brings
The Curse
Often Towed By A Hearse!
Obedience Brings Blessing
Because Jesus Christ
IS
The Only Answer
That Reverses The Curse!

Man Is Not Mighty
AND
Neither Is He Strong
AND
He Needs The Redeemer Creator Sustainer Friend
IF
He Desires Residence In Heaven
At Time's Promised End

Coming Before Very Long!

Be Not Wise In Your Own Conceit
Practicing Known Vile Deceits!
Let Not Vanity Cause You To Be Profane
BUT
Let Wisdom Be The Principal Thing
AND
Let Knowledge True
In The Great Day
Cause You By God's Spirit
Within The Gates Of Heaven
The Overcomers' Song Of Victory Over Sin
Triumphantly Sing!

Jacob's Ladder

Led Up

Came Down!

Prayers Go Up

AND

Blessings Come Down!

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

Trust The Living Word!

The Writer Holy

Is Soon To The Earth Coming Down!

Like Char-Burnt Toast, Doubt Is Out!!

My Life Was In The Toilet
I Had ... No Way Out!
But, Then
I Recognized
That I Was Seeing My Life
Through Eyes That Could Not See Out!

I Stopped
AND
I Thought ... For A Moment:

Am I Not A Child Of God?!
Why Am I Thinking ... Hopeless
When
My Father Is The Eternal God?!

I Took A Step
AND
Then I Took Another
AND
I Stopped ... In The Valley Of Decision
AND
That Is When I Finally Realized That
Jesus' Faith
AND
My Very Human Human Doubt
Were About To Have A Cataclysmic Collision!

Did I Believe God?
Did I Trust The Lord?
Did I Hope In The Eternal God
BECAUSE OF
Living Faith
OR
Was I A Doubting Man
Turbulently Tossed
Double-Minded
Wavering In The Crushing Wind
At Sea
Weak
Worried
Wondering
What, Lord, Is To Be Come Of Me?!

I Breathed Deeply!
Air Filled My Trembling Chest
AND
That Is When I Firmed My Resolve
AND
Decided To Give The Eternal God
- My Everlasting Father -
Control Of My Needing-Healing Head

AND

The Lying Heart In My Chest!

Father,

You Are Faithful!

Father,

I Am Weak!

Father,

Please Take Care Of Me

For

I Cannot The Plain Way See That I Seek!

I Let Go, Lord, Of These Problems!

My Shoulders Are Not Big Enough!

I Give To You My Burden - I Love You

Please Guide Me

Through Changing-Life's Roundabout!

I Thank You, Lord

For My Blessing!

I Thank You, Lord

For The Word Of Truth!

I Thank You, Lord

For The Certain Hope Of Tomorrow!

Bless Me Again

For

I Am Totally Dependent Upon You!

I Laid Me Down

AND

I Slept In Peace

AND

In The Morning

I Awakened

AND

Praise Be To The God Most High

My Heavy Burden

From What Used To Be A Heavy Heavy Heart

Had Unmistakably

Been Taken!

I Shouted:

Glory! Hallelujah!

Praise To The God Above!

Thank You, Lord

For The Soul Comfort!

Thank You, Lord

For Everlasting Love!

I Do Not Claim
That Life Is Perfect!
I Do Claim Kinship
To The Perfect God Above
AND
I Choose
To Remember Each Day
That The God Above
To Whom My Life I Gave
Laid Down His Life For Me
AND
Still
Got Up From The Dead Man's Cold Grave
AND
I Now Walk
No More A Prisoner
No More A Doubter
No More To Self
A Mindless Slave!

I'm Free
Of All The Burdens
That Drain Away Man's Life!
I Am Free
Of All The Burdens
That Bog Man Down In Strife!
I Am Free
To Walk
In Faith
By Grace
AND
I Am Free
The Praises Of The Glorious King
To Mouth And Shout About!

Praise God From Whom All Blessings Flow
Upon Fallen Man
On This Earth Below!
Praise Father
Son
AND
Holy Ghost
Doubt ... In My Life
Is Thrown Down
Cast Out
Not Good For Anything
Just Like So Much Char-Burnt Toast!

Human Eyes See What Is Was!

God's Eyes

See What Shall Be

- For Us -

A Prosperously Glorious Eternity

**--** WHEN **--**

We 

Trust Him

To Lead Us

Out Of

Doubt's ... Raging Sea!

The Language Of The Meek!

To End This Session Today
We Shall Practice!
We Shall PRACTICE
Our Sermons ... In A Paragraph!

Yeahhhh!!

I Shall Set The Ball Rolling:

A Proud Spirit Goes Before The Fall
The Effect Of Which Is A Broken Tail Bone
For The Denizens Of The Ball
So
Get A Meek And Gentle Spirit, My Friend
Against Which There Is No Law
BUT
With Which
There Is Life In Christ
AND
That
Without End!

I Can Do That!

Okay! Do Your Stuff, Spray Can!

Man Is Flesh
A Wind That Passeth
And Cometh Not Again!
He Is As A Deceitful Bow
Looks The  Real Part
But, In The Act Of Performance
Says: "NO!"

My Turn! My Turn!

Okay, Little Jude!

Preach The Word
In Season And Out
Not Letting Ungodly Men
Ungodly Give You The Rout!
Their Day Is Coming
And That Without Doubt
Come The Trumpet Of God
And
The Archangel's Shout!

Who Duh Man!?

Me! Me!

Alright, Ready Freddy!
Let's Hear Your Word!
Let Your Little Voice Be Heard!

God Is Not Slack!
Man Suffers No Lack!
Park Your Doubt In No Show Land
And Soon 
You'll Sing With The Angel Band!

I Hear That!!

How About You, Dandy Andy?!

Christ Is The LORD!
The Lord Is My LIGHT!
The Light Leads To LIFE
Thereby Removing Me From
The Confusion Of The Devil's Strife!

I Feel You, Little Man!
Anybody Else Wants To Try?!

How About You, Lady Lynn?!

Let Us Hear The Conclusion Of The Whole Matter!
God Is Not Mocked!
God Has No Goat Herd
But An Obedient Sheep Flock!
Man Is A Vapor!
Short Are His Days
But
If He Walks On The Narrow Way
In Zion City
He'll Spend The Never-Ending Day!

Very Nice!

Lou-Lou?! How About You?

Man Has Been Granted The Privilege
Of Being Heir Of God
And Joint-Heir With Christ
To Unfold The Unsearchable Riches
Of God
By Cherishing A Meek And Lowly Spirit
Which Is Above Price!
With All Men Play Nice!

Yessss!
Very Good! Very Good!

Now I Shall Finish
With A Flourish:

Reach Out And Bless A Brother!
Forgiveness Is Divine!
Look Up Unto The Father!
Don't Indulge In Demonic Vice!

Heaven Is Glory Land!
Walk Straight
AND
Do The Right Things!
Do Not Turn Aside!
Take The Gospel Into All Lands
Tell All The World That God's Love With Men 
Abides!

Mercy Is Free To All Men!
Salvation Is True!
Pardon Is Free To All Men
AND
That Means Me And You!

Do Not Despise The Blessing
That Jesus Christ Provides!
He Died To Save Your Soul
So
In Him
You May Safely Rest!
Let Heaven Be Your Goal!

In Everything, TRUST Him!
To Him See That You Instant 
Constant Go
For All Things
He Assuredly Knows!

Let Us Bless Our God This Day!
Neither To Me Nor To You
Is Tomorrow Promised!
Let Us Walk Holy Always
In Jesus Christ's Faith
Not By The Sight Of Man's Eyes
That Will Assuredly Give
Give Away!

Trust God And Be Obedient!
He Is Savior Lord God And Friend
AND
There Is None That Can Remove You From His Hand
On That, You Can Depend!

He Will Keep You In Him Now
AND
Take You With Him
- At The Appointed Time -
Where Life Is Eternal
For
It Does Not
It Cannot
It Will Not
End!
The End!

Yeaaaahhhhh!!!

That Was Fun!

Remember, Children
You Can Preach The Living Word
Without Speaking A Dictionary!
Now, Into The World
With The Love Of God
GO!

Realization + PRAYER: I Desire You, Lord!

I Believed The Word
But Not Wholly!

I Saw The Truth
But Not Clearly!

I Had Faith
But Not Completely!

I Knew Love
But Not Entirely!

I Lived For The Lord
But Not With Fidelity!

I Prayed With Fervor
But Not With Hope!

I Prayed For Mercy
But Denied Grace!

I Lived By Grace
But Ignored Salvation!

I Expected Salvation
But Played With Damnation!

I Damned Devotion In Others
But Craved It For Myself!

I Was A Bundle Of Contradictions

Until Jesus ...

Until King Jesus Found Me
AND
In His Timeless Forward-Looking Glass
Showed Me The Life Brand New
The Life Where Right Is Ever Right
AND
New Life Is Always New
Where Water Of Life Is Abundant
Where Sense Is Ever True
Where Sensation Is The Thing Holy
Where Vision Has No Rear View
Where Walking With A Friend Is Just That
Where Thoughts And Actions Comport
Where There Are No Transactions

Where Sight Is Singular
Ever Beholding The Great God
Who Presently Gives Men
Of His Faith
A Daily Share
Where Singing To The King
Is Grandly Energizing
AND

Self Is Unknown
For The Soul For God
Is At Home
AND

Alone
Is A Thing Assuredly
Not Known

AND

There Is No Smells Of A Corrupt And Vile Goat!

PRAYER:

Lord,

Haste The Day

For

I Desire You

And To See You

And To Touch

To Hold

That Hand

That Touches My Heart!

I Desire To Kiss The Hand

That So Gently Cradled

Cradles

Caresses

My Head!

The Hand That Ensures That Daily

I Am Blessed And Fed!

Oh, Marvelous Grace!

Oh, Redeeming Love!

Oh, Love That Will Not Let Me Go

I Stand A Frail Human

But Trust In Your Strength For

Salvation For My Needing-You Soul!

Heaven At The Last Is My Goal

So, Please, Lord

Keep Me Safe In The Obedient-sheep Fold!

Father,

Please Remember The Brethren Near And Far

That People Of God

Walking Towards The Door Of Salvation

Now Currently Ajar!

Open Their Eyes, Lord!

Unstop Their Ears

And

Grant Them New Hearts Of Flesh

So That In The Little Time

Of Jacob's Trouble

Satan And His Minions

Cannot Make Them Bow To The Idol

And Sin

From Fear!

Please Remember Those

Who Are Currently Working

For The Salvation Of Souls

And

Those Who Are Awaiting Their Call To Duty! 

Bless Them, Lord

According To Your Will

And Ever Always According To Your Way

And Grant Them Utterance

To Preach And Teach

The Unadulterated Truth

- In And Out Of Season -

To The Little Ones, The Old And The Youth!

Grant Us Your Grace, Lord

To Keep Jesus Christ's Faith

Is My Humble Plea

And

I Ask All In In That Worthy Name!

AMEN.

Re: Save Our Souls

Dear Dad,
Please Come And Take Me Home!
It Has Been Almost Six Clear Days

Since You Left Me At This Boot Camp
But It Feels Like 6,000 Years
And
I Have Had Enough!

The Teachers And Counselors Are Insane -
Many Are Quite Shady!
It Is Said - And It Looks As Though -

The Food Was Sacrificed Before

(Gasp)
To Idols!

I Cringed At The Thought
And I Asked My Dorm Director
To Change My Diet Plan To Fruit And Veggies
And The Bread Of Life
And The Pure Clear Water Of Salvation
Instead Of The Hard Liquor Of Sin
And The King's Wine of Confusion
That Everybody Else Is Drinking!
Things Were Tense For A Moment!

Dad, How Do You Do It?!
How Do You Care For And Love People
Who Neither Care For Nor Love Themselves?!
Please Answer - I Really Need To Know!

There Is A Program Here Called "Charity!"
And All The Popular People Sign Up For It
And Call In The Media For Photo Ops 

And To Have Their Story
Prominently Placed
In Social Media So That It May Grow Like A Virus
And Do Something Called "Go Viral!"
Anybody Who Wants To Be A For-Real
And True-True Media Darling Is Doing It!

Dad,
Didn't You Say And Memorialize 

In The Good And True Book
That We Are To Give Alms In Private
So That Thereafter

We Will Get Your Public Reward?!

On An Aside, I'm Feeling Somewhat Confused!

Last Week, In All The Media
There Was A Story And A Photo
Of A PopularPretty Person Giving
A Talk Show Host Her Underpants!
Didn't You Say We Should Uplift People
And Let Our Lights Shine
So That Men Will See Our Good Works
And Glorify You?!

I Haven't Yet Figured Out
How My Life Or My Living
Was Edified By That Spectacle!
Was It Perhaps An Unannounced
Show And Tell?!
I Just Don't Know!
Please Tell Me What Purpose It Served!

Dad,
I'm Feeling Rather Odd In This Company!
You Taught Me That Jesus The Begotten
Is The Way, The Truth, And The Life
And That To Forever Leave This Campground
And Get Home To You
Jesus Must Lead Me There

BUT

This Is A
Big-Able Problem
With Certain Of The Higher-Up
Better-Off 

Illuminated Campers!

Some Of Them See This Camp As A Country Club
And A Casino 

And Even Unto A Pleasure Ground
And A Carnival Cruise
And A Bacchanal
Tied Up In A Masquerade Ball!!!

Somehow, For Some People
This Intended Boot-Camp Serves 

No Purpose!?!

Save What They Choose To Make Of It
Because
"You Know Who Is Here"
Constantly Stirring Up Strife!

His Wickedness, Himself
Liarman Detestable Scamp

- The Damned One -

Is Here
AND
He Looms Large 

And Lord's It Over Everyone
As Though He Is 

• The Big Man In Charge
• The Man Of Every Hour

He Is Down Here Reigning In Stolen Power
Demanding That He Is To Be Called 

"Glorious Majesty!"

AND

"Emmanuel!"

And Saying That He Is 

"God Of All He Surveys!"

Dad,
Please Do Something!
He Is Ruining The Camp
And

Training-Ground Experience 

For Everybody!

Please, Dad! Send Help!

Please Send The Holy Spirit!

Please Send The Messengers Who Excel In Strength!

Isn't It Time Yet For Jesus To ... Come ...?!

I'm Sorry To Be Asking, But Dad, I'm Desperate!!

Please Help Me!

Please Save Us!

I ... We, All The Gooduns Want To Come Home!!!

I Love You With My Whole Heart,

Your Beloved, Praying, Child

Who Knows That 

Your Grace Is  

A l w a y s 

In All Ways

Sufficient!

PS: 

Please Help Us To Keep The Faith

And Shield Us From The Plague Of Presumption!

Please Help Us To Endure

So That We Do Not Make Shipwreck Of Faith!

PSS:

Thanks For The Amazing Care-Package Of Blessings

That Arrived Today!

Even With Help From The Brethren

I Haven't Been Able To Open Them All!

I Am Truly Blessed!
