NO PRIOR NOTICE: The Eviction!!

Own-Way And Selfish Self Lived In 

The Heart-House Of Unconverted Christian
And
He Was Having A Ball
Twisting
Turning
Tying Unconverted Christian Into Knots
And
Making Him At This Trying Time
Foolishly Desire To Hit A Couple Jello Shots

And

Unconverted Christian's Spiritual Garden
Is
To Coin An Old Phrase
Looking Kinda Brown!

This State Of Affairs
Had U. Christian In A Real Tizzy
Given To Fits Of Rage
Totally Showing Himself To Be
Completely Lacking
In The Glorious Fruit Of The Holy Spirit
And
Miserable
Even In The Midst Of
Being Increased With The World's Goods
And AllegedlyHaving Need Of Nothing
Save, Perhaps
The Peace Of God
Which Passes All Human Understanding!

There Were No Cheers For Another Bad Day!

After A Particularly Bad
- Abysmally Bad Day -
U. Christian Cried Out To The Lord
The Very Lord Who ... Only Friday-Gone Week
He Had Taken For Granted
Ignored
By-Passed
Put On A Back-Burner
And, ThenMoved To A Display Shelf!

Why Does It Always Require Pain

For Man To Make A Life Change!?!

Pain Came!

The Mighty Had Fallen
- Hard -
And
Being Out Of Shape
Had Ample Time Amidst Recovery
To Think, Seriously
About His Future In The Living Kingdom!

A Quick Review Showed That
On That Particular Day
At That Particular Time
His Judgment Account
- As Regards All Things Done
In The Flesh -
Was Positively Negatively Reading:

Own Sin: Self Pay!

He Knew The Language

And

He Was Not Amused
Because
He Recognized What That Meant
And
He Was Wisely Scared
And
Fright Leant Him A Loud Voice:

Help Me, LORD! 

Save Me! 

Get Me Out Of My Mess!

Pity Me, I Beseech You! 

I Am In Soul-Searing Distress!

Every Christian
Even This  Unconverted Christian
Knows That The Lord Moves
In Mysterious Ways
And
That The Prayer Of Faith
Always Gets A Response!

The When Where How
And
By Whom The Answer Comes
Is 

Always In The Eternal God's Hands
And
This Case Was No Different!

The Response Was Cryptic
To Say The Very Least
And
The Recipient
- Well Versed In The What Of The Scripture -
Was About To Be Schooled
In The Why How And The Personal Who!

Brethren, Remember That The Lord Answers Us
In The Manner That We Will Personally Understand
And
Unconverted Christian
- A Former Denizen Of The Fast Food Culture -
Immediately Recognized The Order
He Heard Inside His Head:

B L T and Don't Spare The O!

Bacon Lettuce And Tomato

And Don't Spare The Onions!?!

That's Not Possible!
I Don't Eat Like That Anymore!

Think, Think!
I've Got To Think!

Suddenly ...

With The Force Of A Sledge Hammer
Breaking Up No Longer Needed Concrete
Crying Need For Faith's Insight
And
Foresight
Leant Unconverted Christian Spiritual Eyesight
And
He Immediately Understood The Message
And
Closed His Eyes In Acceptance
And
Unlocked His Heart-House
To Offer The Holy Spirit
Free For The Taking And Now Available Residence!

The Message Once Called Cryptic
Then Thought A Carnal Food Order
Was Actually A Spiritual Direction
That All Christians
Should Make Daily Use Of:

Believe! 

Love! 

Trust! 

And

Don't Spare The Obedience!

F/K/A Unconverted Christian
Viciously Boxed Own-Way And Selfish Self's Ears
And
Without Prior Notice
Evicted Him Unceremoniously From The Premises!

Truth Must Ever Be Spoken ...

There Is No Point
No Purpose
No Blessing
In Believing
In Loving
In Trusting The Christ
IfWe Do Not
- At One And The Same Time -
Obey Him
Through Knowledge Of His Sure Word!

That Bad Self Did Not Go Quietly
But
In Jesus Christ's Name
Now Converted Christian
Stood Up For Jesus!

If You Look Just So
You Will See Cast-Off Carnal Self

Pacing In The Yard
Waiting
Watching
Even Weakly Working
Hoping For A Chance
To Be Brought Back Into The Fold
To Get Back Inside The Heart-House's Door
But
Converted Christian
Is Having None Of It!

Bottom Line ...

Onions Make Men Cry!

But

Obedience Will Cause Men
With The Holy Angels
By The Word Of The Redeemer King
- One Blessed Day -
Through The Universe
Throughout The Ceaseless Ages Of Eternity
- On Wings Of Eagles -
To Fly High!

We'll See Converted Christian

In The Sweet By And By!

Will We See You!?!

HAPPY SABBATH + A Word From The Word?!

That Sermon
Convinced Me
AND
Opened My Understanding
Today
BUT
Something Important Was Missing
For
I Didn't Feel The Need To Change 
Any Of My Old Ways!

That Sermon Was En Pointe!

I Tell You

My Conscience Was Seriously Aroused

BUT

Something Was Missing

For

My Head Is Still In The Cloud!

That Sermon Was Amazing!

It Surely Gave Me All The Feels!

It Excited All My Emotions

BUT

Get Me On My Knees?!

Oh, Puleeze!!

So, Brethren
Is The State Of Modern Christianity
Appealing To Heads
Dampening Hearts
AND
Tickling Senses!
No Jesus In Joy Is Found 
BUT
A Whole Lotta Satan
On The Go-To Chart Carts
That Seriously Freely Abound!

A Sermon That Leaves Your Senses Roiling
Is Seriously Lacking The Holy Spirit Of God!
It Lacks The Seasoning Of Reasoning Together
By Which God Calls
All ... To His Holy Heart!

"Come Let Us Reason Together!"
IS
A Call To Parlay!
God Will Show You
His Sure Certain Way
AND
He Will Prove To You
That Looking Out For You Is His Way!

But ...

A Sermon That Appeals
Only To Your Learned-Human Head 
AND
Your Excitable Skin
Is Not Going To Turn You Away
From Your Own Wicked Way!

Remember ...

God Said That
The Heart Of Man Is Deceitful
Desperately Wicked
AND
Beyond All Knowing
AND
If You Trust In Your Own Heart
With No Input From Him Who Died
You Should Know That For Your Sin
You, Yourself
Are Going To Have To Die!

So ...

Without A Convinced
Convicted Understanding
That "Good News!" Message
Will Fall Upon
A Very Hard Heart
The Stony Unproductive Ground
Where Not A Good Fruit Tree 
Will E'er Be Found!

And, So ...

We See - Here -
A Need For Renewal
Revival
Reformation 
A Need For The Under-Shepherds
To Invite The Holy Spirit
To Guide Them
In Preparing For The People
A Straight 
Two-Edged Sword Word!
A Word From The Word
Blessed Of Heaven
AND
Not From
The Downloads Of The Popularly Pious Of 
The TV-Land World!
A Word That Will Cull Believing Sheep 
From The Doubting Goat Herd
Causing Them To Change Their Ways
AND
Be Found Fit For Jesus Christ To Keep!

Jesus Said That
In His Kingdom
There Will Be A Congregation
Made Up Of 
Every Kindred
Every Nation
Every People
Every Tongue!
A People
With Heads And Hearts
In Alignment
With The Holy Spirit
Convinced
AND
Convicted
Not Emotionally Caught Up
AND
Swayed By Smooth Rhetoric
AND
The Devilish Dark Arts!

Are You Able To 
On The Good Word Heard To Stand
OR
Is Your Good Word Heard
Leaving You Flailing Around
In Sinking Sand?

Have You Heard 

Any

Convicting 
Convincing
Straight And Sure Word Sermons

Lately?

Has A Good Word
Recently
Caused Your Heart
To Leap With Joy In Jesus!
