VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Make It Plain: Free Gift!?!

The Idea Of A "Free" Gift 

Is 

Something That I Have Always Found Repugnant, Repulsive! 

Isn't A Gift By Its Nature Always Free!?! 

Did I Make A Request For A Gift 

Or Did You Offer It To Me!?! 

Beloved, 

This Troubled Me To No End 

Until The Word Of Almighty God

- The Word Of Saving Truth - 

Made It Plain! 

Why Would The Lord Call His Gifts To Us Free 

As A Clear Mark Of Distinction 

Unless There Were Expensive As In Costly Gifts On Offer 

Outside Of The Realm Of Truth 

Which Would Cost Us Finite Creatures What We Cannot Afford To Pay 

But For Which We Blithely Extend Our Hot Little Hands!?! 

Dear Ones, 

Beware Of And Reject All Gifts 

Which Require You To Pay Shipping And Handling Fees 

As Such "Gifts" Are Sent, Given, Extended To You 

From The Benighted Hand Of The Adversary Of Souls 

Who Seeks To Enrich Himself In His Need To Devour Someone 

By Making You Poor Indeed! 

Remember That The Roaring Lust Of Your Eyes 

Will Never Satisfy Your Raging Need For 

The Savior's Free To All Salvation! 

Jesus Christ On Calvary Bought And Paid

Packed, Shipped

And 

Delivered For Free Aka No Personal Cost To Us

Our Free Gift Of The Trip Home To Glory 

To Our Heavenly Father's House Of Joys Forevermore! 

Please Freely Give Your Whole Heart To The Lord Jesus! 

Receive This Life's Only Free Gifts From Almighty God 

And 

Live Free In Our Only Savior Christ Jesus! 

Peace! 

HA-SATAN: Take Off The World's Comforted-By-A-Lie Pajamas!

Jesus Christ The Lord

The Prince Of Peace And Glory

Is 

The Truth

And

The Sword Of His Mouth, The Word Of God, The Truth

Is 

Cuttingly Sharp! 

Denying The Truth Does Not Make It A Lie

And

Rewriting The Truth Does Not Make It Holy Aka The Truth! 

Beloved, 

We Seriously Need To Wake Up 

And

Take Off The World's Comforted By A Lie Pajamas 

As Manufactured And Sold By Complacency 

Which Is A Brand Of Ha-Satan Aka Satan 

Aka The Accuser Of The Brethren 

Aka The Adversary! 

Let No One, Man Or Spirit, Deceive You! 

No Holy Angel Will Help You To Sin Against Almighty God 

And

No Fallen Angel Aka Evil Spirit 

Will Show You The Way To Calvary

To Christ

To The Father's House! 

Dear Ones, 

Our Lord Jesus Has Made It Plain That 

We Must Know The Truth 

If 

We Are To Be Set Free From Sin 

Which, In Essence, Calls The Truth

- Which Can Only Come From Almighty God -

A Lie

And 

The Truth, Jesus Christ, The Life Giver

A Bad Word And A Liar! 

Who Are You Going To Believe: 

The Truth, The Savior, That Sets  Us Free Indeed

Or 

The Already Damned For Eternity Liar 

Who Is Seeking To Stop You From Receiving 

What He, With Malice, Threw Away 

And 

Can Never, Ever, Ever, Recover!?! 

All Of God's Gifts

- In The Person Of Christ

By The Word Of Promise

And Daily Care -

Are Good, Good, Very Good

And 

Blessed Forever! 

Let's Lovingly Look Upon Our Jesus 

And 

Walk By The Word In The Ways Of Our Lord

And 

Let Satan Eat Dirt 

And 

Crawl On The Ground Like The Snake, The Serpent, That 

He Is Biblically Known To Be! 

Truth And Peace To You!

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!

Recall To Mind!

Remember, Remember, Don't Ever Your Faith Regret

The Lord  Christ Will Never A Faithful Child Forget! 

He Doesn't Forget The Good! 

He Doesn't Forget The Bad! 

Do Good And Good Will Attend You

And 

Over Your Trials Be Glad!

All Things Work For Our Good! 

Jesus Christ Shed Innocent Blood

When On Calvary's Cross He Unwaveringly Stood

So That Satan By Your Worked Faith

Could Be Valiantly Withstood! 

Okay, Class! 

Let's Recap: 

Jesus Saves! 

Mercy Is Free! 

Grace Is Sufficient! 

Don't Fret About Evil-Doers! 

Faith Cannot Fail! 

Hallelujah Is The Highest Praise! 

Obedience Is The Highest Form Of Worship! 

Blessings Await The Faithful! 

Prayer Raises Us Up To God! 

Salvation Came Down! 

Justification Is Instantaneous! 

Sanctification Lasts A Lifetime! 

Sin Is A Reproach To All People! 

Blessed Are The Pure In Heart!

From The Workers Of Iniquity Choose To Depart! 

Wait, Work, Watch: 

Don't Wonder After The Beast!

We Have An Invitation

To Enjoy Jesus Christ's Welcome Home Feast! 

Perfect Peace Is The Gift Of God! 

God Is Our Refuge And Strength! 

The Heavens Declare God's Glory! 

The Good Book Tells The Good News Gospel Story!

Doubters Deny!

Evil Men And Seducers  Will Not To Glory Fly! 

Don't Tempt God! 

There Is No License For Sin! 

Guard Your Heart! 

No Man Can Tame The Tongue! 

There Is No Reason For, Nor Profit In, Pride! 

Grave-Diggers Serve  Grave-Diggers! 

Satan Can't Force You To Sin! 

The Lord Won't Force You To Not Sin! 

Lust Is A Lie Wrapped In A Sinful Desire That Deals Death! 

Beloved, 

The Word Of God Aka The Love Of God 

Works Wonders For The Wise! 

Be Wise! 

Be Humble! 

Be Bold! 

Be Blessed And Be A Blessing! 

Believe The Truth And Love In Deed And In Truth! 

And

Be Confident In Christ! 

In This Is Peace!

PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY: The Buck Stops Here!?!

Many Of Us Are In For A Rude Awakening 

When We Appear Before The Judgment Seat Of Jesus Christ 

Because 

Our Usual Pass The Buck, Blame Someone Else

Will Have Exhausted Its Usefulness 

And 

We Will Be On The Hook For The Unpaid, Long-Overdue Bill Of 

Take Personal Responsibility! 

It Is Safe To Say That 

Lucifer Blamed The Father For His Cockups 

Because 

The Father Refused To Let Him Have 

What The Father Gave To His Son! 

End Result: 

Condemnation And Damnation! 

Adam Blamed Almighty God For Giving Him A Defective Wife 

And 

For His Own Willful Disobedience! 

Eve Blamed The Serpent For Deceiving Her Into Wanting More 

When She Already Had Everything That She Needed! 

End Result: 

Cursed, Cast Out

Pain, Hard Labor

Suffering

And 

Death 

Plus

Jesus Christ Having To Die To Save The Race! 

Beloved, 

We Are No Longer Children! 

We Have Knowledge Of The Experiences Of Others 

Which Should Counsel Us To Be Wise: 

Satan Can't Make Us Do Anything! 

As Humans, We All Do What Our Flesh Desires! 

As Committed Christians

We Should All Be Doing What The Lord Wills! 

Mistakes Happen

So Please Choose To Recognize The Error

Repent Of The Sin

Accept Loving Correction

And 

Align Your Desires With The Father's Will! 

Taking Responsibility For Your Own Actions

Minus The Arrogant Attitude

Plus The Humble Spirit 

Equals A Definite Growth In Grace On The Road To Glory! 

"I Was Wrong, And I Beg Your Pardon!" 

Yields Fruit Most Pleasant To Enjoy! 

Dare And Choose To Do Right 

And 

To Glory Rise To Live With Eternal Light 

In The Land Of No Night! 

Peace!

Your Character Determines Your Destination!

A Gentle Reminder ...

There Is Nothing That We Can Do 

That We Can Do Without Jesus Christ The Lord! 

There Is Nothing That Happens To The Faithful Child Of God 

That Happens Without The Lord's Knowledge And Consent: 

All Things Work For Our Good 

And 

For Almighty God's Great Glory ... Be Not Dismayed! 

The Lord Jesus Christ Will Take Care Of Us 

Because 

He Sacrificially Loves Us 

And

He Will Never Forget Us Who Are His Very Own

His Peculiar Treasure! 

Beloved, 

We Are Reminded That 

The Same God Who Provides For The Little Sparrow 

Who Is Worth A Penny In The Market-Place 

Will Always Provide For Us, You And Me 

For Whom He Bled And Died 

On The Shameful, Cruel, Cross Of Calvary! 

Please Ever Keep In The Fore-Front Of Your Thoughts That 

It Is Through Trial And Tribulation

Through The Perfecting Of Our Character 

That We Will Ascend To The Heights Of Glory: 

Your Character Determines Your Destination!  

Please Hold To Almighty God's Unchanging Hand

And 

Look Up

For Soon Comes The Glad Day! 

Our Redemption Is Drawing Ever Nearer! 

Be Strong In The Lord 

And

In The Power Of His Might! 

Peace!

HAPPY SABBATH + Paying It Forward!?!

Please Be Reminded, Again, That 

Satan Has A Counterfeit For Every Gift, Blessing

And 

Word Of Saving Truth That 

Almighty God Has Given Unto Mankind! 

With That Out Of The Way

Let Us Consider One Of The Substantial Rip-Offs That

His Evilness Adroitly Pulls Off: 

Paying "It" Forward! 

When A Human Pays It Forward

He Pays For What He, Himself, Needs 

Plus

A Bit More So That Some Dear Soul In Need 

May Take Advantage Of 

And 

Gain Benefit From The Gift! 

The Truth Is ...

Man Gets Himself Some Glory 

But

At Times There Is No Gift At All To Be Had

By The Needy Soul! 

With Our Beloved Jesus Christ "Paying It Forward" 

We Have A Sublimity

A Perfect Gift Of Blessing!

Jesus Christ 

Paid For Salvation Which He Had No Need Of 

Or Use For

And

Made It Available For All Mankind 

Including 

Those Who Lived Before He Was Born

Those Who Were Alive While He Lived And At His Death 

And

All Who Were Born After His Death 

And Resurrection

And Ascension To Heaven 

And

Even Unto The Close Of Human Probation! 

That ... This ... Dear Ones

Is

The Gift That Keeps On Giving! 

We Confessed And Repentant Sinner

Get Eternally Blessed And Saved

And

Our Great And Glorious Father Gets All The Glory! 

We Humbly Ask For The Gift Of Available Grace

And

We Will Receive Freedom From Sin Aka Soul Salvation

Which Is Definitely There For Us

Before We Know That It Is Our Greatest Need

And

- Best Still My Beating Heart -

In Our Own And Individual Name! 

Beloved,

Neither You Nor I

Can Beat Our Everlasting Father's Limitless Giving! 

Peace!

Arm-Candy For Satan OR Heart-Home For Jesus Christ!?!

Why Would You Want A "Savior" 

Who "Loves" You Enough To Hurt You 

And 

Desperately Wants To See You Dead 

In Trespasses And Sins!?! 

You Know You Wouldn't! 

Beloved, 

We Should All Whole-Heartedly Desire The Savior

The Lord Jesus Christ

Who So Loves Us That He Went Ahead 

And 

Died The Accursed Death On The Cross Of Calvary

To Save Us From Sin's Damnation! 

Think About The Distinction! 

Who Else Is Saying That They Love You!?! 

To Whom Are You Committing To Eternally Love!?! 

Is This Being The Lover Of Your Soul 

Purchased From Sin, Death, The Grave, And Hell!?! 

Are You Permitting Yourself To Be Arm-Candy For The Fake

The Wannabe God

The God-Fraud

The Father Of Lies 

To Be Suckered, Sullied, Scrambled, And Scorched!?! 

Thieves Come Only To Steal

And

To Joyfully Destroy!

Are You ... Body, Mind, And Spirit

Loved, Sheltered, Protected 

And

Covered By The Innocent Blood

And

Blessedly Headed For The Happy Home 

In Highest Heaven Above!?! 

Home Is Where The Heart Is!

Do You Know How You Are Standing!?! 

Do You Even Care!?! 

Think, Think, Think ...  

Are You "Living" Life With A "Lover" 

Who Holds You Through Doubt And Disbelief

Guilt And Fear

And 

Lack Of Faith In The Holy One!?! 

Are You Loving 

The Lover With The Greatest Love Of All

Who Offers You The Righteous White Robe 

And

The Gold Over-Comer's Crown

The Gold Harp

The New Name

A Place In The Father's House

A Plot Of Land To Build Your Own Country Home

And 

Eagle's Wings ... As Lightning Transport

To Nimbly Get Around The Universe Of God!?! 

Please Choose 

To Take The Eternal God At His Living, Holy, Word 

And

Dare, Boldly Dare, To Test The Spirits 

The Suitors For Your Loving Devotion!

Hurtful Love 

Is 

Burning Hatred! 

Holy Love 

Is 

Perfect Peace! 

Jesus Christ ... The Shepherd Of Rest

Is 

Peace 

Is 

Love 

And

He Always Saves!

 

Jesus Christ ... The King Of Glory

Is 

The Captain Of Our Salvation

And

To Him ... Alone

We Should Our Hearts Release

So That From Sin, Death, The Grave

And

Burning Hell

We Shall Forever Be Relieved!

He Forgets Not His Own!

He Sits High On The Eternal Throne!

His People Do Not Walk Alone!

Soon He Will Take Us To The Heavenly Home! 

Peace! 

HAPPY SABBATH + "I AM SORRY!" WORKS: Get Rid Of The Blame Game!

There's A Major Difference Between 

Forgiving Someone Who Hurt You 

And

Taking Responsibility For Someone Hurting You 

Because

Well, You Were There In The Relationship 

And

Available To Be Hurt 

So, Tough Luck, You Were Hurt!

You Are In A Relationship With Christ Jesus:

Is He Responsible For Your Deliberately Defiant

"I Will Say He Was Present And 'Helped' Me To Sin!"

After He Already Paid For All Your Sin

On The Cross Of Calvary

And

Gave You The Daily Gift Of Faith For The Day

Free-Will and Freedom To Choose

The Will To Do His Good Pleasure

And

The Longing To Do The Good And The  Right!?! 

Isn't It Amazing How The Holy Word Of God Gets Twisted 

To Absolve Disobedient People From Taking Responsibility 

For Their Own Wicked Behavior!?! 

Beloved, 

Jesus Christ The Righteous 

Our Creator, Savior, Redeemer 

Took The Blame For Our Personal Sins

- Which He Did Not Commit - 

So That By His Innocence Taking Our Guilt 

We May Be Justified Aka Made Right

- With Confession And Repentance - 

When We Are Convicted Of Sin And Of Righteousness

And

Over A Lifetime Of Obedience, Trust

And 

Enduring Faithfulness

Be Sanctified Aka Set Apart 

For Holy Use By Our God! 

What Is Your Heartfelt Confession

And

Repentance For Known Sin Worth!?!

Did You Lie When You Took Jesus Christ

As Your Personal Savior, Lord, God, And King!?!

Lucifer Blamed Almighty God 

For Not Allowing Him Into The Counsels Of 

The Father, The Son, And The Holy Spirit 

And Thus 

Causing The War In Heaven 

And 

The Death Of His Son, Jesus! 

Satan Is Still Using This Nasty Trick Against Us Today 

And 

He Is More Often Than Not Winning This High Stakes Game! 

Please Don't Fall For Folly!

We Serve The God Who Sees Everything

The God Who Knows Everything

The God Who Feels Everything

The God Who Is Always Present

The God Who Is Eternal

The God Who Is Not Mocked

The God Who Is Not A Liar

The God Who Is Righteous

The God Who Pays

What

Each

Person

Is

Owed

For The Work He Diligently Performed!

 

We Are Each Responsible For Our Own Wickedness 

So Don't Even Blame Satan: 

He Can't Make You Do Anything! 

And

Don't Blame The Living God: 

Jesus Christ Already Paid Your Bill 

So Take The Gift! 

Do Right! 

If You Don't Confess

And

If You Don't Repent

You Are On Your Own

Before The Judge Of All Flesh!

Our Lying Lusting 

Is 

Like A Locked Vice-Grip: 

Lose The Lust 

And 

Get Rid Of The Blame Game! 

Peace!

Jesus Christ Saves: 

"I Am Sorry!"

Works 24/7! 

 

 

 

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: CHARACTER: Night-Shade Or Morning Glory!??

Is The Fragrance That You Are Known To Wear 

Of The Night-Shade Variety 

Or Of The Morning Glory Variety!?! 

Is Your Favorite Song Of The Bacchanal Variety 

Or An Encouraging Song Of Zion!?! 

Are You Kind And Helpful To All 

Or Only To Those Who Can Benefit You!?! 

Do You Know That A Negligent Christian 

Is 

As Bad As A Careful Sinner!?! 

Do You Know That You're Responsible 

For The Truth That You Could Have Known 

When You Refuse To Know The Truth That 

Is 

Available To Be Known!?! 

Do You Know That 

You Will Have To Buy All That You Need 

When You Selfishly Choose To Sell All That You Have!?! 

Beloved, 

When You Look Down You See Dirt! 

When You Look Around You See People! 

When You Look Up You See The Lord In Glory! 

The Cross Of Christ Was Planted In Dirt! 

The Outstretched Hands Of Christ 

     On The Accursed Cross Of Calvary 

          Encircled All People! 

When We Look Up To Jesus We Are Healed! 

How Are You Thinking, Walking, Talking, Doing!?! 

Are Your Thoughts Of Self Only 

And 

Your Endeavors To Profit You Wholly And Solely!?! 

If You Desire Blessings Abundant

Please Cheerfully Extend Your Hand To Give! 

If You Prefer To Be Amongst The Cursed

Keep Your Purse Zipped

Your Cupboard Locked

And 

Your Hands Closed: 

Fists Cannot Receive Of The Goodness Of 

The Lord Of Love, Light, And Life! 

Life Is Made For Changing

And 

Living For Jesus Christ The Lord Requires Change! 

Will You Be Amongst The Brave!?! 

Peace Be Upon You!

 

Thought For The Week Ahead:

Never Give Up The Truth!

Never Tolerate Lies!

Never Embrace Wickedness

And 

Always Stand Up With Conviction 

For Our Lord Jesus Christ! 

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

Pray Without Ceasing! 

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

Jesus Christ The King

Is 

Personally Calling You 

So With Godly Fear 

And 

Needful Pleasure

Quickly Open Your Heart's Door!

 

Salvation Is A Fruitful Tree!

Think About It ...

Unconfessed Sin Is Unrepented Sin! 

Unrepented Sin Is Unforgiven Sin! 

Unforgiven Sin Leaves Us Unsaved 

And

By Choice

Unacceptable To Enjoy Jesus Christ's Glory! 

The Unsaved By Jesus Christ

Are Those Who Are Not Sealed By The Holy Spirit! 

Those Who Are Not Sealed By The Holy Spirit 

Are Those Bearing The Mark Of Satan 

And 

They Will Be Lost From The Living Kingdom

And 

Eternally Damned Aka Separated From The Living God! 

Can You Bear In Your Person 

What Jesus Christ Bore For You On The Cross Of Calvary 

When, In Anguish Of Spirit, He Cried: 

"My God, My God

Why Have You Forsaken Me!?!" 

Beloved, 

Be Strong In The Lord 

And 

In The Power Of His Might! 

Be Strong In Him Who Has

- By Shedding His Innocent Blood -

Promised Never To Leave You Or Forsake You! 

Be Strong In Him Who 

Is 

Our Refuge And Strength! 

Be Strong In Our Jesus Who, Alone, Saves 

And 

Has Made The Way Home Plain

And Is Even Now At Your Right Hand

Pleading With You ... To Please Draw Near! 

By Creation And By Redemption

You Belong To Christ! 

By Will And Walk

Please Show The World That 

You Are Owned 

And 

That You Are ... By Faith

Headed To Your Forever Home! 

Salvation Is A Fruitful Tree: 

Greedily Eat And Abundantly Live! 

Pass The Word Along! 

Peace!

Set Your "Radio" Dial To B.B.C!

The Elders, At Home, At School, And At Church 

Always Stressed To Us That 

We Should Finish What We Started! 

It Was Good Advice Then 

And 

It Is Good Advice Now! 

We Have The Promise Of Our Maker

The Eternal God 

And 

The Everlasting King That 

He Will See Us Safely To Our Forever Home! 

That Sure Promise Was Confirmed 

With Jesus Christ's Innocent Blood 

Being Visibly Spilt On Calvary's Hill! 

We Are Loved With An Everlasting Love!

Beloved, 

As Committed And Motivated Christians

We Need To Finish All That We Have Started For 

And 

In The Name Of Our Lord Jesus Christ

The Righteous Judge Of All Flesh! 

We Need To Set Our "Radio" Dial To Station BBC: 

Be Aware! 

Believe! 

Commit! 

We Need To Be Aware Of Time

- Which Is Short - 

And 

Let Go Of The Past 

And

By Saving Grace

Walk Confidently With Our Lord Christ 

To The Land Of Pure Delight! 

We Need To Whole-Heartedly Believe That 

The Lord Loves Us Sacrificially

And

Will Never Forsake Us 

And

Is Guiding Us On The Path Of Purity! 

We Need To Commit Our Lives To Him 

Through Whom We Live 

And 

Breathe 

And 

Have Our Very Being! 

Be Wise For Your Own Self ... 

Now Is Not The Time To Play Amateur Christian! 

Now Is The Time To Go PRO! 

Now Is The Time To Be 

Patient In Our Trials

Responsive To The Call To Salvation 

And

Obedient To Almighty God's Will 

As We Grow Where We Are Planted 

To Serve The Lord Faithfully! 

Be Brave: 

Angels Are Watching Over You!

Believe ... In The Lord Christ! 

Believe ... The Living, Holy Word Of Truth

And 

Be Gloriously Blessed! 

Peace!
