The Green Olive Tree

 

To Be A Green Olive Tree 

Is 

To Be Something Precious ... Beautiful

Bearing Good Fruit

Abundantly Fruitful

And 

Immensely Useful! 

Such Is The Lot

The Call

The Mission

The Duty Of All Who Will To Be Evergreen Christians 

In The House Of The Lord Of Life! 

The Lord Prunes Those Whom He Uses! 

Those Whom He Uses 
Are Equipped By The Lord ... Himself

To Do The Work That 
He Has Ordained To Be Accomplished! 

Those Whom The Lord Uses 
Unfailingly Put Their Trust In Him 

And 

Rest Under The Shadow Of His Wings 
Until The Terrors Of Life Are Passed 
And We

In The Fullness Of God's Timing

Stand In The Open

In The Glorious Kingdom

In His Glorious Presence ... Forevermore! 

Beloved, 

We Have A Work To Do For Our Lord Christ 

And 

Faith, Trust

And 

Enduring Obedience Are Required! 

Let's Take As The Lord Feeds Us By His Holy Spirit 

And 

Let Us Feed The World 
Known Hungry For Saving Truth! 

Let's Feed Others 
From Our Plate Of Good Food From God 

So That We May Receive 
More Good Food From God! 

The Lord Feeds The Green Olive Tree 
And 

The Green Olive Tree Feeds The World With The Golden Olive Oil

The Holy Spirit, Within! 

Talk Is Cheap: 

Get Up And Do A Good Work For Almighty God! 

Heaven At Any Personal Cost 
Is 
Cheap! 

Peace!

HEAVENLY ACCOUNTING: You're Gonna Pay For What You Say!

WORDS.SWORD

STOP AND THINK ABOUT IT!

"Talk Is Cheap!" 
"I Don't Pay Taxes On My Mouth!"
"You Can't Tell Me What To Say!" 
And 
"Words Don't Have Any Weight!" 
Are All Lies Of The Devil 
Guaranteed To Get Us All In Serious Trouble 
With Our Maker, God, King And Judge! 

Every Word We Speak 
Is 
Recorded In Heaven
And 
Every Idle, Corrupt, Word We Utter 
We Will Have To Give An Account Of 
Before The Almighty God
Who To Truth And Righteousness
Is Not 
A Noted Fraud!

Unkind, Careless, Words Hurt 
And 
All Of Us Who Take Pleasure In Being Bombastic 
And 
Love To Pompaset Saying 
"I Cut Them Down To Size!" 
Would Do Well To Wheel And Come Again 
With A Different Attitude 
And 
Perspective On What's Truly Important
Good, Right And Beneficial To Self And Others! 

The Tongue Is A Defiler!

The Unchecked Tongue

Is

A Destroyer!

A Lash Hurts ... And Stops
But
A Cutting Word Creates A Sound Chamber 
Where It Resonates Ad Nauseum: 
Don't Do That To Another Human 
Because
The Lord Doesn't Do That To Us 
Who Are Notoriously Rabid Sinners In His Holy Sight! 

Let's Check Our Indignation And Aggression
And 
Choose To Be Kind To Others! 

Speak Peace And Do Love! 
Recording Angels Are In The Room: Think Before You Speak!

Be Humble

Be Meek

Be Mild

Like Jesus Christ The King

The Lord Of Life!

SPECIAL DELIVERY: Trust The Lord ... Always!

The Unbelieving, Wicked, Man's Talk About 
Power And Position 
Life And Death Control
Prosperity And Penuary

Is 

Cheap 
And
Without The Backing Of Divinity!

They Don't Pay Taxes On Their Words

So They Speak As Though They Have The Final Say!

The Word Of God 

Is 

Powerful

And

Sharper Than Any Two-Edged Sword

And 

It Does All That 
He, In His Infinite Wisdom
Has Sent It Abroad To Accomplish!
The Word Of The Lord 
Will Not Return To Him Void ... Empty ... Of Profit!

The Lord Backed Up His Word To His Children
With His Own Blood

Making The Word Of God

In The Person Of Jesus Christ The Lord

The Savior Of Every Man, Woman And Child

The Most Expensive Gift Ever Given ... Ever Received!

That Gift Is Ours To Own And Hold And Utilize:

It Is The Most Precious

Because

It Is Heaven-Sent Gold!

Unbeliever, Believer, Wicked Or Good

We Are All Fragile, Hurting, Oft' Foolish, Needy People

And

We Who Choose To Believe That The Word Of The Lord

Is

True ... Sure

Worthy Of The "AMEN!" ... So Let It Be

Know ... In The Day Of Adversity

Not To Be Hesitant To Bare Our Souls Before Our Almighty God!

We Also Need To Remember To Pray ... Just Because

And

Always! 

The Truth ...

Fancy And Politically Correct Speech Is For Politicians!

Lying And Corrupt Words Are For Those

Who Have Made A Covenant With Death And Hell!

Plain, Honest, Heartfelt Speech 
Is 
The Currency Used Between The Beneficiaries Of Grace

And 

The Giver Of Grace

So Let's Choose Always To Believe The Word Of The Lord

No Matter The Matter Or The Provocation

And

Always Speak The Truth!

Dare To Be Humble!

Boldly Ask For Your Need!

Gratefully Give Thanks For The Blessing On The Way

And 

Abundantly Live In Certain Hope ... Of An Expected End

Born Of Your Daily Gift Of Working Daily-Faith!

Jesus Christ Is King ... Our King!

He Makes Personal Deliveries To His Saints

And 

He Will Deliver For You ... And Me, Too! 

Trust Him Today
And 

Know That Glory Awaits! 

In Him Is Our Peace!

The Unbelieving And The Wicked

Will Fall Under Their Own Weight!

Do Nothing To Help Them Accomplish Their Own Demise!

Wait On The Lord Christ:

He Will Deliver For

And

Will Deliver You!

The Ninth Symphony: A "GOOD" GOSSIP!

SpEcIaL!
Really, Really
 SpEcIaL!

Cue Mezzo-Soprano ...

Slave To Our Words Is 

Androgynous

Bats Left

"The Excuse!"

A Lone Violin

Pretentiously Crying, Plays

As The Villain Of The Piece Says:
"Wellllll, I Heard Yesterday
That Tomorrow Was Looking To The Future
But He Had Connected With The Past
And Is Living Today
With Them Old New Peoples From Over Yonder

Brethren,

Gossip Is A Real Jerk

Who Enjoys Performing A Good Twerk

AND

If You Are Not Careful

When Gossip Is Finally Finished

His Work On You

Will Make You Go Berserk!

Let The Trumpets Sound ...! 

Gossip

Does Not Provide

 Praise-Worthy Perks!

Gossiping Is Sin! 

It Does Not Edify! 

It Starts With A:

"Did You Hear?!"

And

Ends Up Telling Lies

Which Breaks

The 9th Commandment!

It's The Truth - Don't Sigh!
Do Not On Your Conscience Lie! 

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

Let The False-Oath-Taker

With Contrition

Cry!

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

Gossips Will Not Enter Heaven!
On This Truth You May Rely!
