VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Self-Mutilation!?! Why!?!






What Is There
What Darkness Is There
What Sorrow Is There That You Can't Expose
That You Can't Share
That Will Make You Happy In Another Persona
That Would Make You Mutilate Your Body
In An Effort To Obtain Cash
Or Companionship
Or For Notoriety
For Peace Of Mind
For A Peaceful Sleep At Night!?!

What Is So Fascinating About
Being Someone Else That 
You Would Rather Die For A Lie
Than Trust Almighty God 
And 
Walk Wise In Living Truth!?!

Are You Bigger ... Better
Stronger
More Creative Than Your Creator!?!

Are You More Inspiring Than Jesus Christ
By The Holy Spirit Of Truth Who Inspires Us All!?!

Is Your Way ... Which Is Not The Way Of Almighty God
More Reasonable ... More Practical
And
More Feasible
Than The Way Of The Eternal God!?!

Why Are You Choosing To Walk In Lock-Step
With Wicked Satan
The Lying, Murdering, God-Fraud
And
His Fallen Angels 
Who Whisper, Whisper
Tempt, Tease, Torment And Terrorize
Those Of Us Who Faithfully Rely On Our Jesus Christ
And
Treat Even Worse
Those Who Do Not On Jesus Christ The Lord
Constantly, Consistently, Critically Rely!?!

Know The Right ...

Self 
Is 
A Notorious, Unrepentant, Sinner!
Why Are You Relying On Self!?!

Self Gets What It Wants
Even If It Means Destroying Its Host
To Get Its Own Way:
Self Is A Parasite
All Day ... In All Ways!

Self
Is
A Liar
And
The Favored Child Of Satan! 
Self Always Cries About And For Self
And
Only At Own-Way's Titties
Is Self Satisfied! 

Do Not Rely On Self For Living Success! 
Self 
Is 
An Undertaker
A Truth Faker
A Reality-Escape Faker
And
A Grave-Top Raker! 

But, There Is Hope ...

In The Good Book's Notes 
For How To Cope
How To Survive
How To Thrive
How To Really Be Alive
No Scissors
No Knife
No Palette Of Paint
Only Truth
Only Light
Good News The Soul To Delight
And
A Change Of Clothing
The Garment Of Praise
The Character Of Christ
The White Robe Of Righteousness 
The Heart Of Flesh
The Eye Salve For Sight
Fire-Tried Pure Gold
A Bath In The Stream Of The Blood Of The Christ
Who Paid Our Bill
To Give Unto Us His Everlasting Life To Live
Free And Clean
In A Prepared Place On The Eternal Shore! 

No Life Without Christ ...

It Is Appointed Once For Man To Die! 
A Man-ReMade Body Dies Twice!
But
The Christ-Created
And 
Recreated Body 
Through The No-Limit Space Flies
And 
In The Palace Of The King 
Safe ... Redeemed
Abides! 

An Expected End ...

Those Who Are Repentant For Sin
And 
By Enduring, Working, Faith, Die In Christ
Die ... To Live Again! 

Unrepentant Sinners
Those Who Boldly Sin Against The Holy God
Willfully Defacing The Image Of God In Man
Worshipping At The Throne Of Self
- The Known False God -
Die ... To Die Again! 
This Is Unnecessary, Uncalled-For, Pain 
And 
A Crying Shame! 




You've Got Jesus Christ So Lean ...

Jesus Christ Died To Save All Mankind
But
Jesus Christ Saves Who Ever Chooses To Be Saved
By Choosing Jesus Christ The Righteous
As Savior, Lord And God! 
The Ball Is In Your Court!

You Have Help ...

Faith 
Is 
Jesus Christ's Daily Gift To Me ... To You
To Help Us Make The Informed Decision
But
If We Refuse His Gift
His Offer Of Everlasting Life
The Great Salvation
We Willingly, Willfully, Unwisely
Put Ourselves On Course
For The Lake Of Fire, Known-Coming, Collision! 

Open Your Eyes ...

No Force ... Just Fact
Man Is Under Demonic Attack
But
Jesus Christ Has 
And Is 
Making The Way Safe And Clear!

Do The Right Thing ...

Humble Yourself
See And Express To, And For, Jesus Christ
Your Heartfelt, Personal, Need
And
Importunately Pray, Pray, Pray!
And
Give Almighty God His Due Glory
And
Invite The Holy Spirit Your Heart To Enter In
And 
From Deceitful, Self-Absorbed, Self
Boldly, Aggressively, Definitively, Walk Away! 
In Jesus Christ, Alone
Is
Found The New Life
The New Birth!

Jesus Christ
*** For You, Personally ***
Lovingly, Sacrificially, Cares! 
Carpe Diem ... Seize The Day!

TOMORROW, TOMORROW: Today!





I Was In The Popular Station Of Life!
The Get Away Platform Was Crowded For Sure!
Everybody I Observed Had Their Tickets Waving
Including That Big Man Named Gully Boar!

PIS Aka The Passenger Information System Was Whirring!
Myriad Transports To Tomorrow Were Scheduled
And
All Were Plainly Noted 
To Be Exactly On Time!

More And More People Were Arriving
But
Only Those For Living For Jesus
Salvation Way
Jesus Christ Saves
Final Generation
Today's The Day
And
Gateway To Tomorrow
Were Departing!

Grumbling Was Starting!
It Soon Became A Dull Roar!
Security Wasn't Bothered It Was Said
Because
They'd Seen It All Before!

Step Back A Bit ...

The Station Of Life
Is
An Ever-Moving Turn-Table!
Destinations Are Marked Plainly
And
Boldly Underscored!

Travellers ... Having Free Will
And
Free Choice
- No Coercion, No Bumping Up Nor Down -
Choose Their Preferred Destination
And
By Confidence In Self
In Satan
In Sin
In Salvation
In The Savior
In Grace And Mercy
In Temporal ... Or Eternal Security
They Decide If At Living
They Win Or The Lose!

Life Is Spent ...

Tired Of Wandering
I Paused To Wonder
And
Without Preamble
A Beautiful White Dove Landed On My Shoulder
- I Wasn't Startled Or Afraid -
And
Whispered Sweetly In My Ear:

Tomorrow Is Not Promised To Mortal Man!
Only Those Who Choose Life Eternal
With The Blessed Son Of Man
Shall Arrive At The Day
That Surely Will Not End!

They Will Arrive At The Day Where Life Is Eternal
Where He Who Made Time For Man
Extends His Welcoming Hand
To Those Who Worship Gladly And Believe Boldly
Who Trust The Word And Obey Despite Discomfort
Who Walk Wise And Pray Persistently
Who Look Up And Practice Godly Fear
Who Confess Sin And Repent Humbly
Who Love The Lord And Listen To The Spirit's Still Voice
Who Seek Righteous And Don't Trust Their Own Understanding

Who Reflect On God's Goodness And Rest By His Grace
Who Hope With Certainly And Endure Faithfully

And
Reach Out To The Lord Christ 
The Cure For All That Ails Fallen Man
Who Made Blessed Provision For His Children
Who Is Touched By Your Infirmities
Who Was Tried, Tested, Tortured And Died
Who Overcame So That You Can
Who Is Calling, Ever Calling
Extending His Sure, Steady, Strong, Unshakeable, Helping Hand!


Grow Where You Are Planted!
Live Triumphantly In His Name Where You Are
And
Bless Others While You Can

For There Is No Life
And
No Love
In The Grave Where Thou Goest!
Book Your Berth For Surpassing Glory Now!
The Best Day Is Today!


Choose Christ In This Now-Acceptable Time
And
You Shall Enjoy The Glorious New Birth!

Dying, Dying, Slowly Dying
Are The Unprofitable Things Of This Earth!

My Head Felt Light!
My Eyes Flared!
My Ears Tingled!
Doubt Departed!
Hope Appeared!
Grace Smile!
Mercy Spread Her Arms Wide!
Love Exploded!
Truth Stood Up
And
Deceitful, Murdering-Hope Satan Ferociously Cried!

No Bragging Allowed ...

I Am Free: So Very Free! 
I Am Free Indeed!
I Am Touched By The Crimson Flow
Which I Had Not Known I Needed
Until I Had Encountered
The One Called The Door!

I Have No Desire To Wrestle With The Impossible
The Tomorrow Touted
By The One Whose Time Is Short
The One Who Encourages Us
Our Babies, Our Future
Our Certain Hope To Abort
And
To Store Up Lust-Driven Experiences
And
Things
- Supposed Treasures -
Which Will Not Consuming-Fire Survive
Which Will Not Survive The Journey
The Journey To Eternal Life!

The Facts Remain ...

No Matter How Much Weight
How Much Money 
You Gain Or Lose
The Mortal Strife Is Fought Today!

Repentance For Sin Must Be Rendered Today
And
The Decision For The Lord Christ Must Be Made Today
For That That Is Promised To Man
- Known Resident In The Vale Of Tears -
Will Not Be Available Tomorrow
Because
By The Sovereign Will Of The Eternal Holy God
It Is Only Available
Accessible
Usable
Today, Today
No Matter What The Adversary Says!

Man's Day
Man's Hour
Man's Moment In The Sun
To Know The Son
Is
Always Today!

Be Wise:
Carpe Diem!
