HOLD ON TO YOUR HOPE: Do Not Let Go Of Christ Jesus!

"Thus Saith The Lord!" 
Was Sufficient For Jesus Christ 
To Protect Himself Against The Wiles Of Satan 
And 
It Should Be Sufficient 
For Us Who Call Ourselves Christians
Aka The People Of The Only God Holy 
Just, Kind, Faithful, Giving, Forgiving
Blessing, Loving 
And 
Forever True! 

We Are Not To Trust The Word Of God + Plus + 
Lying Man's Added-On Extras! 
The Word Of God 
Is 
Inerrant ... Infallible
Unchanging!

There Is A Curse Upon Anyone

Be They The Pope Of Rome

The Local Priest

Pastor, Prophet, Bible Teacher

Television Evangelist

Or Ordinary Layman

Who Dares To Add To

Or Subtract From

The Living Word Of God!

The Lord ... The King Of Love
Says To Come Boldly To The Throne Of Grace 
To Find Help In Our Time Of Need! 
He Says Cast Your Every Care On Him 
Because
He, The Creator God, The King Of Glory
The Shepherd Of Rest
- Who Gives Unto Us Perfect Peace -
Cares For You ... Personally! 

The Lord Of Life ... Our Savior God
Says To Pray And Not Faint
And
Do Not Be Anxious For Anything
And 
He Plainly Says That By Prayer And Supplication
- With Thanksgiving -
Let Our Requests Be Made Known To Him ... Alone! 

Beloved, 

Now Is Not The Time ... Not That It Ever Was A Good Time
To Be Giving Charlatans Your Scarce Resources 
For Prophesies That Speak Lies 
And 
Deliver Cures That Can't! 

No True Prophet Of

The Eternal God

Will Ever Take Payment

For Giving A Prophecy

That The God Almighty Sent!

Jesus Christ Is Our Everlasting Portion: 
Let Your Soul Deliberately, Firmly, Faithfully Say So! 

Please Go To The Great Physician ... Our Jesus
And
Plead For Your Own Soul's Earthly 
And
Eternal Salvation:
You Have Been Issued An Open Invitation! 

Believe ... And Pray
Forsake Sin
Embrace Christ
And 
By His Will And Grace
Live!

Confession And Repentance For Sin

Is A Personal Necessity 

For Every Christian's Salvation!

Repentance Means

To Turn Away From Sin

And Mean It

By Deliberately Walking

In The Sovereign Will Of

Our Holy God!

We Have Got To Stay Connected To Jesus Christ

Because Only The Grace Of God Will Keep Us Safe

In These Tumultuous Times! 

Satan ... The Adversary Of Our Purchased Souls
The Accuser Of All Of Our Brethren
The Wannabe God And God-Fraud
Swears To Kill Us 

But

Jesus Christ Died To Save Us: 

Do The Math And See Who Has "Skin In The Game"

Who Gave His All For Us

Who Loves Us Sacrificially

And 

Who Is With Us Now
And
With Whom We Shall Abide ... For Eternity! 

Brethren, 

I Choose To Stand With 

Walk With And Toward

Listen To

Learn From

And

Trust And Obey Jesus 

And 

Endure All Things In His Name 
Because

I Know For A Fact That He, Alone

Loves, Cares For, Provides For

And 

Abides, Sacrificially, With Me! 

Jesus Christ Gave His All ... His Crown And His Blood
And By So Doing He Paid The Whole Bill For Our Sin!
Our Love For Him Returned Demands That
We Must Give Of Our Best To And For Him!

I Agree!
Giving Of Our Best Starts By Doing What He Says
Without Murmur Or Complaint!

Indeed!
It All Comes Down To Faith Versus Doubt
And Begs The Question We Must All Answer ...!

... Do We Truly Believe What He Says
And Are We Willing To Cooperate With Him
To Gain The Promised, Eternal, Blessing!?!

You Took The Words Right Out Of My Mouth!

I'm Willing Because I Know For Sure
That He Is Our Only Hope!
I, Too, Choose To Faithfully Follow The Lord Christ!

Beloved,

Please Dare To Hold On To Your Hope! 

The Change ... Our Change
Is 
Going To Come ... Soon! 

Like The Song Says:
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, We're Going To See The King!

AMEN!!!

THE PLAN: Truth Stands!

Heyyyy, Bonitz!
Long Time No See!
How Are You Doing!?!

I'm Good, Carey!?!
What About You!?!

I'm Doing Well

And I'm Praising God, And Grateful!

I Haven't Seen You At Church Lately!
Are Things Okay!?!

Things Are Going Well!
I Have A New Church Family
And I'm Having Loads Of Fun!

New Church Family!?!
What Do You Mean!?!

You Haven't Heard!?!

Heard!?!

Heard What!?!

We All Go Down To CCM!

CCM!?!
Never Heard Of It!

You Must Be Kidding!?!
Girl, It's The Fastest Growing Ministry
In These Parts
With Standing Room Only For All The Services!

Really!?!
Please Tell Me More
And Start With That Name!
CCM Sounds Kinda Catchy!

CCM Stands For Cafeteria Church Ministries And ...!

... That Pastor Must Have Been Seriously Ragged
Growing Up With A Name Like That!

Oh, No!
You're Mistaken!
The Pastor's Name Is Idetentee Jusso!
Cafeteria Is Cafeteria As In Food Service
Make Your Selections
Pay Your Bill
Take A Seat!
Enjoy Your Meal!

Huh!?!

Seriously!
We Decide What We Want To Hear
When We Want To Hear It
How We Want To Hear It
And
To Our Individual Tastes And Temperaments
We're Suitably Edified:

No Hurt Feelings!
No Guilt Trips!
No Fear Of Flames!
Total Inclusivity!
Rainbow Warriors!
Personal Truth!
Authentic Living!
No Sinners!
All Saints!
No Sin!
All Salvation!
Common Good!
It's Amazing, And I Love It!

You Would!

Pardon Me!?!

Oh, My! That Doesn't Sound Good!
Uh, Which Bible Are You Using!?!

We Don't Use A Bible Bible!
We Have A Good Book Of Great Truths
With Daily Affirmations
And Selected Messages From
All The World's Great Religions!
After All, All God's Are Equal!

Wow!
That Sounds Like ...!
I Wonder What The Spirit Is Like In Your Service!

Girl, It's Off The Chain!
Everybody Is Happy, Excited, Laughing
Rocking, Running
And So, So, Very Loving!
Miracles Abound!

Signs And Wonders!

You Hit The Nail On The Head!
Signs And Wonders Always Appear
And Pastor 'Tee Always Gets A Word 
And A Wonder From On High
Whenever He Sits
In The Great White Throne Chair!

Achooo! ACHOOO!

Bless You!

I Feel A Cold Coming On!

Are You Still Praying!?!

Oh, No!
We Are One With Our Lord
So There Is No Need To State The Obvious!

So Oblivious!

You Mean Obvious!

No, I Said What I Meant!
You Are So Very Oblivious To The Truth!
You've Broken The Trust
And
Your Carnal Lust Is Propelling You!

You Once Claimed Christ As Savior
Lord And Master
And, Now
Instead Of Progressing
You're Making Retrograde Steps!

You're Letting A Charlatan
Tickle Your Fancy
Tickle Your Ears
And
You're Indulging Raging Lusts
Instead Of For Heaven
Getting Yourself Prepared!

Did Not The Lord Christ Warn Us
To Not Let Anyone Deceive Our Souls!?!
Did Not The Savior Warn Us
That Satan Does Appear
As An Angel Of Light
Wearing Bright And White Clothes!?!

Don't You Know That We Are Not To Be Comfortable
Living In Sin And Loving Self And Sin!?!

Don't You Remember That
In Order To Withstand A Spiritual Attack
That To The Savior
We Must Stay Attached!?!

Answer A Question For Me:

What Is Your Pastor Ideetentee's Definition Of Sin!?!

What, Exactly, Do You Mean By Sin!?!

Lord, Preserve Me!
Okay, Okay!
What Is YOUR Definition Of Sin!?!

My Idea Of Sin Is Unique To Me!
What Is Sin To You Is Not Sin To Me!
My Experience In My Personal Life
Determines How My Traumatized Child
Manifests Now In My Adult Life
And Is, Therefore, Subjective
Hence, For Me
There Is Nothing Called Sin To Infect
To Restrict 
The Actions Of My Life!
Only Self Can Define What Is Sin!

Ahhhm, Where Is Jesus Christ In All Of This!?!

What About HIS Definition Of Sin!?!

Oh, That Definition Was Fine Back Then
But We Are Evolved
And Knowledge Has Increased!
We Do Whatever Makes Us Happy!
No Harm: No Foul!

We Have Run To And Fro Around The World
And A Consensus By The Great Minds Has Been Reached:

• Take Care Of Mother Earth
• Have Respect To Father Time
• Be Kind To Our Animal Brothers And Sisters
• Do Lots Of Good Works, And
•  Laud Self Above Everything

We Are No More Slaves!
We Are Sure To Do What Makes Us Happy!

Jesus, Savior, Pilot Me!!
Lord, Please Give Me Strength!

You Are Being Deceived And You Know It!

There Is No Man Comfortable In Sin
That Is At Peace With The Holy God!
You Are Playing With Fire
For You Are Shacking Up With King Fraud!

I Know That You Are A Parent!
Would You Give Your Child Whatever It Wants
Encouraging It To Do Whatever It Pleases
Including Living Wild
Ignoring The Obvious Rules Of The Road
Oblivious To Certain Peril
Just Because Desire Is Always To Be Satisfied!?!

Of Course Not!
That Would Be Very Foolish Indeed!

Dear God And Father Of Mankind,
Forgive Our Foolish Ways!

Please Tell Me, Then
In The Name Of All That's Holy
How You Can Think To Do An End-Run
Around The Living God
Your Father Which Is In Heaven
And
Get Away With It!?!

The Lord Has Given Us Rules For The Road
The Right Way To Live
How To Be
What We Can And Can't Do
How To Come
How To Go
What To See
What To Know
Because
We Will Be Reaping That Which We Sow!

Remember The Word:

No Man Can Stay The Hand Of God 

Who Is The Righteous Judge 

And 

Faithful Paymaster Of Us All! 

Has The Good Life

In This Happy Place That You Are Inhabiting

Caused You To Forget That

There Is No Changing Of Status

No Second Probation

And 

No Do-Overs After Death

Nor After Christ Comes!?! 

Uh, Ah, Umm ...! 

What's Wrong!?!
Have You Lost Your Mind And Your Tongue Also!?! 

I, Uh, Ahmmm ...! 

What's The Matter With You!?!

Come On! Speak Up!

I, I, Can't! 

I'm Soooo Unhappy! 

Please Help Me! 

But You Just Said How Happy You

And You Were Gushing About

All The Fun You're Having

With Your New Church Family!?! 

I Know ... I Lied ...! 

Come And Let's Sit On The Veranda

And You Can Tell Me The Truth! 

Oh, Dear! 

You're Not Going To Like It! 

If You Say So

But Tell Me Anyhow! 

45 Minutes Hours Later ... 

Bonitz, Please Listen To Me Carefully:

A Fire Too-Hot
Too Fast
Too Furious
Always Has An Accelerant!

A Christian Too Righteous
Too Religious
Knowing It All In One Day
And
Being Too Blessed To Be Stressed
Always Having The Sure

And 

Perfect Words For Self And Other's Answered Prayer
Also Has An Accelerant
And
Is Not Guaranteed To Go The Distance
Because Of A Thing Called Emotionalism!

Since Salvation Is A Process
- The Work Of A Lifetime - 
Emotionalism Is Not Going To Survive
The Upward Climb
Where Slow And Steady
Grace And Mercy
Faith And Work
Obedience
Defiance Of The Devil
And
His Pretty Works
And
The Slow And Steady Day By Day Plodding
Is 
An Endurance Walk 

And
Not A Buggy Race
For The Exertion Averse
Is 
The Only Thing That Works!

There Is Only One God Holy! 

The Other "Gods" Of The Earth Are False

And 
Can Never - Will Never -
Be Equal To The Eternal God! 

What Is Ours To Know Us
Is
Plainly Revealed In The Living Word ... Preserved

By The High And Holy Hand Of The Eternal God

And

Anyone Who Adds To The Word

Or Takes Away From The Word Of Almighty God

Is

By Almighty God Cursed! 

Revelation 22 Makes That Clear

And

The Wisest Man In Proverbs 30:6 Makes That Abundantly Plain! 

Miracles And Signs And Wonders

Are Not To Be Taken As Proof Of

Almighty God's Favor Or Approval! 

Satan Has The Power To Work Miracles

To Agitate Nature 

The Weather
- The Book Of Job Proves That -

And

Within The Boundaries Decided By The Living God

He Can Destroy A Person's Health

Wellbeing

And

Prosperity! 

Understand And Accept This ...

The Lord God Cannot

Will Not 

Stretch The Truth Or Tell A Lie

To Get You To Believe In Him

Or To Trust Him! 

In The Economy Of God

It Is All About Faith! 

You've Been ... Unwisely

Trusting In Your Lying Eyesight

And

Overwrought Emotions

And

You Have Permitted A Real Charlatan

A Wise-Acre Hustler

A True Con-Artist

To Relieve You Of A Goodly Portion Of 
Your Parents' Hard-Earned Money!

The Lord Had No Mansion

No Big Ride

No Servants

No Bank Account

And

He Did Not Speak With A Forked Tongue

Or Encourage His Followers

To Finance His Speculative Interests

Since He Had None! 

The People Of God

Need To Be Wise As Serpents

And

Harmless As Doves! 

There Are No Fools In The Kingdom Of God! 

Do You Realize
Do You Know That There Is
Joy And Peace In Believing The Living Word
The Choice Promises Of God!?!

Do You Recognize
Do You Accept That
When You Stand Aka Believe
And
Live In The Security
The Protection Of The Word Of God
That There Is No Created Being That
Can Cause You To Fret
To Be Anxious
To Be Afraid
To Doubt
To Disbelieve
That All Things
- Good, Bad, Ugly, Painful, Hurtful, Wicked -
Work Together For The Good Of
Those Of Us Who Are The Called
According To His Purpose!?!

The Lord Is Calling You!
Are You Answering!?!

I Am Trying ...!

When We Recognize That
This Life Isn't About Our Selfish Desires
That We Are Here In Boot Camp
Preparing For A Can't-Fail Mission
Under The Leadership Of A Can't-Lose Commander
Against A Can't-Win Adversary
For The Assured Glorious Prize
Aka The Purchased Redemption
We Walk Like Winners
We Talk Like Winner
We Live Like Winners
We Live Like Overcomers
We Live Like Saints ... Blessed
Bold
Bought
Believing
Bound ... For The Promised Land!

Jesus Christ Promised
Jesus Christ Bled And Died
Jesus Christ Got Up And Rose Up
Jesus Christ Is Preparing A Place
Jesus Christ Is Interceding
And
Jesus Christ Is Coming Back ... For Us
Who Believe His Word
Trust His Character
Live In His Light
Keep All His Commandments
Bless Him By Blessing Others
Telling The Good News
And
Are Washing Our Clothing
- Our Character -
In His Blood
Shed For Every Man!

Almighty God Is Ever Good ...

It Took A Miracle
And
It Requires Our Faith ... Believe Him 

... And Live!

Trust Him At His Word ... And Obey
Because
He Helps ... And Heals!
He Saves ... And Seals!
He Leads ... And Reveals!
He Opens ... And Closes!
He Knocks
And
He Ably Protects All His Flocks
In All The Various Congregations
And
He Is Assembling Them ... Us
His Children
His Brethren
Into The One ... The Only
Safe And Secure Fold!

Hurray For Woolly Sheep ...

A Lil' Faith Goes A Long Way
And
That Lil' Faith ... Exercised
Grows Into The Unwavering Faith
That Shall See Us Safely Esconced
In The Eternal Home!

There's Always A Hairy Goat ...

A Lil' Doubt 

Is 

Like Active Yeast:

It Changes The Structure Of Faith
And
Belief!
It Erodes Confidence In The Glorious King
And
Robs One Of The Peace Of God
The Likes Of Which
There Is No Counterfeiting
No Faking!

Sweet Girl, You've Got Some Hard Questions To Honestly Answer! 

Where Do You Stand!?!
Upon Whom Will You Henceforth Rely!?!
Are You Among The Kingdom Bound
Or
Are You Among The Wafflers
The Fence-Jockeys
The Doubters Damned
Those Flattered, Filled, And Fatted
On The Lust Of The Flesh
The Lust Of The Eye
The Pride Of Life
Those Who ... In The Day Of Vengeance
To The Rocks And Hills Shall
Uselessly Cry!?!

Truth Stands ...

Blessedly ... For Us All

U-Turns Are Permitted

Encouraged

In The Lives Of Those Who Finally See The Light!

Confession And Repentance Are Blessed Gifts
In The Lives Of Those Who Desire Spiritual Success! 

Don't Be Among The Helpless

The Hopeless,  The Hapless!
Jesus Christ Is Righteous
Reigning, Ruling, Returning
And
Only Those Standing 

Living And Abiding In His Love
Shall On The Wings Of The Wind
To Zion Be Riding!

It's Time With The Lord Christ To Be Siding!

I Can Now Honestly Say That I Agree!

AMEN!
