Nobody Owes Us A Gift Or A Gift Of Our Choosing!

We Have Surely Lost Our Way! 

In The Name Of The Lord Jesus

Why Would We, As Committed Christians, Believe That 

A Free-Will Gift Of Almighty God 

Should Be Returned To The Sender Expressing Our Dissatisfaction 

Because 

It Is Not A Brand Name

It Is Not What We Wanted

And 

It Is Not To Our Taste Since Only Money Excites Us!?! 

Beloved, 

Yes, There Are Gifts That We May Specifically Ask The Lord For 

But

Think Carefully About All The Gifts, Benefits

And 

Blessings That We Have Received Of The Lord 

Without Our Prior Knowledge And Approval!?! 

Was Calvary A Part Of Your Desire Or Aesthetic!?! 

The Cross Was Not By Gucci 

And 

The Holy Spirit Is Not Prada! 

Dear Ones, 

If We Blindly Continue 

In The Despicable, Entitled, Attitude 

Now Being Publicly Expressed

It Is Certain That We Will Not Want Or Accept 

The Now Available Gift Of Everlasting Life! 

It Is Also Certain That We Will Also Roundly Reject 

The Fruit Of The Holy Spirit 

Because 

They Do Not Come Wrapped 

In A Warhol Or Michelangelo Hand-Drawn Wrapping Paper! 

No One Owes Us A Gift

And For Sure

Nobody Owes A Gift Of Our Own Choosing! 

The Gifts Of God Should Be To Us

"Thank You, Jesus!

Bless You, Lord, For Thinking On Me!" 

The Good And Perfect Gift From God To Us 

Is 

Good And Perfect, As Is, For Us ... Always! 

Let Us Not Behave Like Idolatrous Ingrates 

Treating The Lord's Bounty Like Hog Food! 

Let Us Gladly Accept The Best Of Heaven 

Like We Know That 

We Are The Blessed On Earth! 

Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Choose To Eat Grass With The True And Living God!

To Be Wicked

To Do Wickedness

Which Is To Free-Will, Knowingly, Do Evil 

Is 

Abhorrent In The Eyes Of The Holy God 

And

Anyone Who Blithely Says: 

"You Don't Know How Wicked I Can Be!" 

Is 

Boldly Branding And Condemning Themselves 

With Their Own Tongue! 

Beloved, 

Before You Choose To Be Flamboyant 

Indulging In Sin Because You Can

And 

Being Wicked And Acting Like You Are God Almighty 

Because 

You Want What You Want When You Want It

Choose Instead To Eat Grass

With The True And Living God! 

Don't Go Eating Lamb With The Father Of Lies 

Who Would Have You Believe That 

The Lord Of Life Is Loose

Is Not Looking At You

And 

Will Not Call You To Account 

For All That You Do In Your Flesh! 

As Regards The Terrible Ones Who Instill Fear 

And 

Seemingly Live Above Reproach

They And The Wicked Will Meet The Same End 

If

They Don't Confess And Repent Of Their Known Sins! 

Dear Ones, 

I Urge Us All To Never, Ever, Cover-Up, Condone, Or Conspire 

To Be Participant With The Wicked And The Terrible 

Who Would Have Us Believe That 

The Lord Is Just Like Them 

And

Is Blessing Them! 

They Lie: 

Prosperity Does Not Translate Into 

Nor Indicate Heavenly Approval! 

Let's Choose To Do Right 

Because 

It Is Right

Because 

The Lord Requires It

And 

Because We Love Our Savior Dear

And 

Choose His Will To Ever Obey! 

Live To Live Forever! 

Peace! 

COMPLETE THE TRANSACTION: Cooperate With The Lord Christ!

Even Though Jesus Christ Paid 

The Full And Final Price For Our Souls' Salvation

There Is Something That Each Of Us Must Do

To Complete The Transaction! 

Beloved, 

An Unopened Gift 

Is 

Just A Present Present! 

An Opened But Unutilized Gift 

Is 

A Dust-Catcher 

Because 

It Makes You Work But Pays No Salary! 

An Opened And Utilized Gift That 

Is 

Despised, Disparaged, And Discounted 

Will Ultimately Be Discarded 

And

That Person Who Acts So Disrespectfully 

Towards Almighty God's Good And Perfect Gifts 

Will, On The Day Appointed, Be Destroyed! 

Dear Ones, 

Let's Back-Up To Go Forward! 

The Lord Always Gives Us A Part To Play 

In The Receipt Of Our Own Blessing: 

Ask ... To Receive

Obey ... And Be Blessed

Be Perfect ... As Your Father In Heaven Is Perfect

Turn Ye ... At My Reproof! 

When We Ask The Lord To Lead Us

We Are Informing The Lord That 

We Are Willing To Follow Where He Leads! 

When The Lord Says 

"Come Unto Me All Ye That Labor ... And I Will Give You Rest ...!" 

It Is Because He Has What We Need 

And

Our Recognizing 

And

Accepting This 

Gives Us Wings, Energy, Desire To Reach Out 

And 

Touch The Living God 

Who Hears Our Cries

Heals Our Hurts 

And 

Blesses Us In And For Our Belief In Him! 

There Is No Profit In Useless Pride 

And 

No Benefit In Base Behavior! 

Please Wisely Accept The Gift Of Grace Gratefully:

Cooperate With Christ! 

Peace! 

There Is No Hiding Place Down Here!

"The Benefits Of Breaking The Law 

Are Greater Than The Cost Of Breaking The Law!" 

This "Ideal" Could Only Have Come From 

The Black Heart Of Satan The Damned! 

Beloved, 

You Of The Band Of The Blessed And The Brave

Know That There Is No Benefit To Wrong-Doing

No Profit In Sin

And 

No Happily Ever After For Framing Up The Backside 

In Opposition To The Holy God! 

All Of Us Are Called To Be Holy 

Even As Our Father In Heaven Is Holy! 

We, As Committed To Christ Christians

Are Not To Allow Ourselves To Be Charmed 

By The Means, The Methods, Or The Madness Of The Worldly-Wise 

Who Would Convince Themselves That 

"Do What Thou Wilt Is The Whole Of The Law!" 

a La Satan! 

Satan Has Nothing To Lose 

By Encouraging Us To Break The Law 

For So-Called Aka Perceived Gain! 

We, Christ-Followers, Have Everything To Lose 

By Accepting This Presumption By Assumption! 

Dear Ones, 

The "Thus Saith The Lord!" 

Is 

Our Safe-Guard

Our Yard-Stick

Our Walking-Stick

Our Pointy Stick

And 

Our Sticking-Point 

When Dared, Encouraged, Or Enticed 

To Belly-Up To Some Psychedelic Hog-Trough 

Supposedly Filled With Gotta Have It 

And 

Can't Live Without It "Goodies" From 

The False God And His Minions On This Earth! 

Please Let Us Today Choose To Choose Nourishing Food 

And 

Not Imbibe Well-Dressed Poison! 

Law-Breaking Always Costs 

And 

Law-Breakers Always Pay Physically

Financially, Emotionally, And Spiritually! 

Never Doubt It! 

Be Wise And Not Lawless 

Because 

There Is No Hiding From The Living Holy God 

Who Always Sees Us! 

Peace!

DENY THE LIAR: Don't Ever Be Presumptuous!

Beloved, 

Please Do Not Be Presumptuous! 

You Are Not Called To Be Yourself! 

You, Me, We Are All Called To Be Like Jesus Christ! 

Don't Sit ... Don't Stand ... And Boldly Say: 

This Is Who I Am! 

I'm Changing For No Man! 

Are You Not Aware That 

When One Is In The Godly Relationship That

For Love, Not Fame, Fashion, Or Favor

Grace Causes One To Change 

So That Love Is A Sweet-Smelling Savor

For Joy, For Peace ... For Sweet Release!?! 

Do You Not Know

How Can You Not Understand That

To Be In A Committed Relationship With The Son Of God

The Son Of Man

You Come As You Are

But 

That Way You May Not Stay!?! 

Love Works! 

Love Worked! 

Love Is Working So Love Cannot Permit The Beloved 

To Remain Unclean: 

Holy Is The Lord Most High! 

To Be Like Him

We Must Self, Sin, And Satan Deny! 

We Must Cling To Truth With New Washed Hands 

If It Is Our Heart's Desire To Enter ... By Right

The Blessed, The Beautiful, Beulah Land! 

Justification Is Instant Change! 

Sanctification Is Continual Changing! 

Glorification Is Instantaneous Change

And 

None Of These Can We Do For Ourselves! 

Since We Are Living To Love The Lord

We Must Let The Love Of God Abide In Us 

Or Else In The Great Day Of Small Things

We Shall Be Like Him Who Saw Heavenly Love 

Through Self-Serving Eyes! 

That One Shall Surely Cry And Die! 

Dear Ones, 

Let's Do Right 

And 

The Father Liar's Lies Defy 

Because 

It Is Home With Christ Jesus That 

We Choose, By Appointment, To Fly! 

Peace!

Blessings Flow: Almighty God Knows!

 

Sowers Reap! 

Givers Get! 

Beloved, 

There Is An Old Saying Ever New Which Says That 

If You Sell All That You Have

Then You Must Buy All That You Need! 

We Used To Call People Stingy For Having Abundance 

And 

Never Wanting To Share

But 

Now It's Called Looking Out For Number One! 

We Could All Learn A Lesson From Old Ms. Bee 

Who Had A Wonderful Mango Tree 

Which Bore Really Small But Extremely Sweet  Fruit! 

Every Mango Season 

Ms. Bee Would Give Out Free Bags Of Mangoes To The Neighbors 

And 

Everybody Knew That After That 

You Would Have To Buy What You Wanted: 

Ms. Bee Always Gave Extra When You Bought Mangoes! 

Ms. Bee Also Never Had A Problem 

Getting Anybody To Run Errands For Her! 

Dear Ones, 

If You Want A Friend

Be A Friend! 

If You Want To Know A Subject Better

Teach Aka Share What You Know! 

If You Want A Blessed Harvest Of Abundance

Be Very Careful Of The Seed That 

You Choose To Plant And Nurture

And 

Make Sure, By The Grace Of The Eternal God, That 

Your Plantings Are Such As Will Be Blessed Of The Lord 

And

Will Not Only Benefit You

But 

Will Also Bless And Benefit Others! 

Flowers Grow And Show! 

Character Grows And Shows! Blessings Flow: 

Almighty God Knows! 

Give And Gather! 

Peace! 

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Do You Ever Wonder What You Are Being Saved From!?!

 

In All That Happens To You

No Matter What Happens To You On Your Travels 

Toward The Eternal City

Never, Ever, Despise The Blessings Of The Lord Christ! 

Beloved, 

When Things Happen To Us

We Are Apt To Cry, Cuss, And Carry On! 

We Never Seem To Wonder What It Is That 

We Are Being Saved From

What It Is That We Are Being Carried Through! 

When We Were Children

And 

We Would Cry About Some Minor Matter

The Elders Would Ask What We Were Crying For! 

Our Response Would Then Cause Them To Say: 

"Stop Crying Right Now 

Or I Will Give You Something To Really Cry About!" 

It Worked Like A Charm! 

Dear Ones, 

Things Can Always Get Worse Than They Are At Present: 

Be Thankful Now! 

Things Will Only Get Better With Christ In Control: 

Go For Grace Now! 

The World Of Sin Naturally Walks In Darkness: 

Head To The Light Of Life Now! 

The Light Of Life Is Jesus Christ The Lord: 

Come To Jesus Now And Be Blessed And Saved! 

Dear Ones, 

Share Your Bread Even If It Is Dry 

And 

Share The Bread Of Life! 

Dry Bread Cast Upon The Waters 

Will Never Come Back To You Dry! 

Bread On Water Multiplies 

And 

Becomes A Soup 

Which, Blessed By The Eternal God

Comes To Your Table 

Seasoned ... And With All The Inclusions

Don't Forget The Dumplings! 

A Thankful Heart 

And 

A Grateful Spirit Make For A Contented Life In Christ 

Who Blesses His Well-Beloved Aka You! 

Keep Walking, Working, Watching

Trusting, Praying, Hoping

Believing, Obeying

And 

Enduring All Things! 

Our King ... Your King ... Is Coming! 

Peace! 

HAPPY SABBATH + He Is Faithful Who Promised Us The Heavenly Land!

What Is The Difference Between 

The Promised Land

The Land Of Promise

And 

Promised The Land!?! 

The Land Of Promise 

Is 

The Place Where Hopes Are Realized! 

The Promised Land 

Is 

The Place You Are Longing To Reach! 

Being Promised The Land By The Person Of Integrity 

Gives One A Future And A Hope! 

Dear Ones, 

He Who Has Promised Us The Land 

Has Also Promised Us A City 

Whose Maker And Builder 

Is 

God Almighty

The God Who Cannot Lie

The God Whose Character Is Changeless 

And 

Whose Promises To Us Require From Us: 

"Yes, Lord!

AMEN!" 

Beloved, 

When We Arrive At The Place Called 

Agreement With Almighty God

We Must Set Our Faces Like Flint Against This Dying World 

And 

Its Dubious Pleasures 

And 

Decidedly Choose To Head Towards Our Heavenly Home

In The Plain Footprints Of Our Blessed Savior And Kind King! 

Satan And The Dominion Of The Damned 

Will Unceasingly Try To Stop Us From Arriving There! 

Take Heart! 

All Heaven Will Help Us

Stand Up For Jesus Christ! 

Listen!

Hear The Voice Of Jesus Christ Calling! 

Feel The Impress Of The Holy Spirit's Working! 

Know That Holy Angels Are Protecting

And 

Let Their Holy Influence Encourage You 

To Do The Good, The Right, And The Correct! 

After All, You Are One Of Almighty God's Elect

So Let No Created Being

Be They Human Or Unclean Spirit

Stop You From Getting To Collect What Is Already Your Own! 

Let The Promise Keep Your Mind Fixed And Focused 

On The Promissor ... Who Is Ever-Faithful! 

Peace!

Instant Justice!?! + PRAYER: Thank You, Lord, For The Blessings That Give Forever!

Never Get Comfortable In Or With Sin! 

Beloved, 

Think For A Moment Of What Our Lives Would Be Like 

If 

Our Savior Dear Dispensed Instant Justice - No Mercy - 

For Every Unchristian, Unholy, Unauthorized Thing That We Did 

And

Consider Where You Would Be 

Given Your Checkered Personal History! 

Also, Think About What Your Life Would Be Like 

If 

"Do To Others What You Want Them To Do Unto You!" 

Was Instantly Activated In All Facets Of Your Life 

Given Your Present Attitude, Outlook

And 

Personal Practice! 

Dear Ones, 

Aren't You Glad That We Have The Savior

Our Blessed Jesus

Who Is Touched By The Feelings Of Our Infirmities 

Because 

He Knows The Weight We Carry 

Because Of 

Sin Inherited From Our Fore-Parents Adam And Eve!?! 

PRAYER:

Father, 

We Give You Thanks And Praise 

For The Privilege Of Praying To You

The Holy God Who Has Given Unto Us

The Blessed Gifts Of Confession And Repentance

And

The Hedge Of Protection That Is

The Ten Commandments

And

The Promises Of The Beatitudes

The Blessings That Give Forever! 

Please Help Us To Choose The Way Of The Cross 

And

To Choose To Cross The Road  To The Other Side

When We See Known-Sin Approaching! 

Please Help Us To Do Good Because It Is Right

And

To Love Others As We Love Ourselves

And

Willingly Do All For The Love Of Jesus Christ

Our Savior, Lord, God

And

Soon Returning King!

AMEN! 

Peace, Beloved!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH : There Is An Elevator In Endurance!

There Is No Point To Pride

No Satisfaction In Sin

And 

Nothing Graceful About Greed! 

There Is A Mattress In Mercy

And 

A Pillow In Peace! 

There Is An Object In Obedience

And 

An Elevator in Endurance! 

There Is A Push In Perseverance

Amazing Love In Following The Lord

And 

Worth In Walking Wisely! 

There Is Power That Comes 

From Praising Him Who Calls Us To His Side

And 

We Are Blessed Beyond All Measuring 

When We Walk In The Way That 

Leads To His Eternal Life! 

There Is A Train In Truth 

So Get On Board To Avoid Damnation's Gloriless Horde! 

Dear Ones, 

The Lord Jesus Saves Us One By One 

So Do Not Follow The Loud-Mouthed 

So-Called Powerful 

Known Wayward, Winsome, Wicked, And Wild 

Just Because You Want Things! 

The Loud-Mouthed Will Have Nothing To Say

And 

The Powerful Will Be Powerless 

In The Wondrous Presence Of Our Glorious King

Jesus Christ The Lord! 

Choose Wisely: 

Early, And In Earnest, Seek The Savior! 

Peace! 

There Is No Oliver Twist Seated At The Table Of The Lord!

Nobody Seated At The Lord's Table 

Will Ever Have To Do An Oliver Twist 

And 

With Hunger Pangs

In The Shocked Hearing Of 

The Assembled Multitudes Of Likewise Famished, Ask: 

"Please, May I Have Some More!?!" 

Beloved, 

Our Blessed Benefactor With No Equal

Who Owns The Cattle On A Thousand Hills 

And 

Every Last Thing In All Creation

Has No Need To Issue Short Rations To Save Costs 

And

At The Same Time 

Line His Deep Pockets By Fraud! 

Dear Ones, 

Use Your Access 

And 

Your Humble Words Of Hope, Trust, And Faith! 

Boldly Ask "Bigly" For Your Blessings Known Bountiful! 

Just Remember, Though, That 

You Can't Ask The Lord For What Won't Bless You 

And

Glorify His Dear Name! 

Check The Living Word Which Is A Transcript Of 

The Holy God's Unchanging, Unchangeable, Character! 

The Word Works! 

Peace!

PRAYER: Help, Me Lord, To Live So That I Let Nothing Be Wasted!

PRAYER:

Father, 

With The Heart Of A Grateful Penitent

I Give You Thanks And Praise For All Your Blessings 

- Seen And Unseen, Known And Unknown

Unexpected, And Unacknowledged - 

Lavishly Bestowed Upon Me This Day 

And, For Sure

Every Day Of My Life! 

I Love You, Lord

And

It Is Not Just For The Bread And Two Fishes That 

In Your Hand Will Always Feed The Multitude 

And

Leave Behind Food For Many More! 

Please Help Me To Live With The Mindset That 

Nothing Should Be Wasted

And

A Heart Filled With Compassion For Others

An

Hands Ready To Share To Others 

Out Of The Bounty That You Generously Provide To Me! 

Father, I May Not Always Like The Way That Life Goes

But

I Ask You To Help Me To Ever Remember That

If I Knew What You Know

I Would Wish To Be Led, Fed, Directed And Corrected

As You Ordain! 

Please Help Me To Never Embrace Pride

And

The Top-Lofty Spirit

Which Causes Us To Act As Though You Owe Us Something 

And

We Are Entitled To All That We Receive

And

More Beside! 

Please Help Me To Never Forget That

I Owe All That I Am And All That I Have

To Your Willing Sacrifice And Unending Love

In The Person Of Jesus Christ My Lord! 

Please Pour Out Of Your Spirit Upon Me

And

Bless Me To Follow My Shepherd

The Good Shepherd

To Your Haven Of Rest For The Eternally Blessed! 

AMEN! 

Winding Up As Two Nuts Short Of A Pack!?!

Handling Hardships With Almighty God's Gift Of Grace 

Makes One Hardy To Endure The Trials Of This Life! 

"Ohhh, Sure!" 

Says The One Who Desires To Live The Life Of Riley 

On Easy Street! 

Beloved, 

We All Know That There Is No Human 

Who Would Not Prefer Life On Easy Street! 

The Problem Is That The Introduction Of Sin 

Caused Our Maker, God, And King To Curse Humanity 

With Labor, Work, To Be Able To Eat His Daily Bread! 

Therefore, Anyone 

- From The Womb To The Tomb - 

Who Chooses To Work At Not-Working And Playing To Play

And In Essence

Choosing The Life Of The Hedonist

Constantly Seeking Pleasures Forevermore On This Earth

In This Vale Of Tears

Is 

Standing Up In His Self-Chosen Lot

Directly Against The Will Of Almighty God! 

How Do You Think That Is Going To End!?! 

How Often Have You Seen 

The Disasters Of Living The High Life 

When Its Practitioners Effectively And Efficiently 

Crash And Burn

Flame Out

Or Wind Up As Two Nuts Short Of A Pack!?! 

Dear Ones, 

Work ... As Ordained By The Holy God

Is 

For Our Blessing: 

Choosing To Live On The Party Boat Is Not! 

Choosing To Honor The Lord Is A Blessing: 

Choosing To Honor Ourselves Is Not! 

Idle Hands Are The Devil's Workshop! 

Be Wise And Work Now 

For Night Is Coming When No Man Can Work! 

Live With Love For The Lord 

And

Not For The Pride Of Life! 

Wha' Sweet'n Goat Mout' Does Bu'n 'e 'n 'e Tail! 

Take Heed! 

Jesus Christ Is Lord! 

Peace!

Happy Sabbath + You Are Never Alone Walking With The Lord!

Yesterday Has You Bitter! 

Today Has You Jaded

And 

Tomorrow Has You Sour! 

With All This "Has-Ing" 

When Are You Going To Permit 

Jesus Christ The Great Physician To Have At You 

Since He Is The Only One 

Who Can Make All Of Your Wrong Things Right!?! 

Beloved, 

Will Your Being Bitter About Yesterday 

Cause Yesterday To Change The Past To Become Sweet!?! 

Will Your Being Jaded Aka Unenthusiastic 

Aka Unimpressed With Today 

Stop It From Passing From Time Into Eternity 

Without Your Approval And Permission!?! 

Will Your Being Sour About Tomorrow Change The Fact That 

Tomorrow's Sun Will Never Rise 

Or Negate The Word Of Almighty God Which Says That 

No Man Aka Human Being Is Promised The New Day!?! 

Dear Ones, 

As Bible-Thumping As It May Sound

Our Wants, Wailing, Demands, And Desires 

Can Never Change Almighty God's Will 

Or Alter His Spoken Or Written Commands! 

We Have To "Come-To" Aka Get Around To 

The Lord's Ordered Way Of Living 

Or Be Ordered Away To The Second Dying! 

Rich Or Poor, Free Or Enslaved

If 

The Lord Has Brought You To Trial Or Test

He Is With You To Overcome 

And 

Emerge Blessed And Benefitted 

As Long As You Remain In The Holy Faith Which Cannot Fail

Trusting And Enduring All Things In Jesus' Name 

And 

For His Sake! 

You Are Never Alone

Walking With The Lord! 

The Decision ... As Always

Is 

Our Very Own To Make 

With No Enticement Or Coercion Allowed! 

This Is A Fix Yuh Face

Fix Yuh Attitude

Fix Yuh Future Moment: Take It! 

Any Questions!?! 

Peace!
