Consider Your Ways AND Your Days!







When We Were Children
The Elders Spoke Often About Malice Before Thought
About Being So Bent On Having One's Own Way That 
A Person Just Acted
Right Thinking Be Damned! 

Today
A Favored Expression 
Is 
Playing Dead 
To See What Kind Of Casket You're Going To Receive! 

Beloved, 

In The Old Testament Times
Swift Justice ... As A Sharp Curb On Lawlessness
Was Meted Out For Ought Aka Anything That 
Brought Almighty God's Name Into Disrepute! 

Today We See The Multitudes Using The Name Of The Lord 
Like It Is A Cheap Cloak Aka Cover For Bold Sin! 

Consider Your Ways ... 

Not One Of Us Has Control Over The Days Of 
Our Years As Allotted By God! 

Not One Of Us Is Guaranteed To Live Five Minutes From Now 
So The Question Must Be Asked: 
"Are You So Invested In Some Cherished Sin That 
You Are Willing To Have Your Probation Closed 
And Your Judgment Concluded 
And Your Record Marked 
UNHOLY: Still  And  FILTHY: Still 
Because In Satisfying The Raging Lust Of Your Flesh 
'You Have More Head Than Brain!?!'" 

Is Satisfying Your Flesh Worth More To You Than 
Having Your Soul Cleansed!?! 

Willful Sin 
Is 
Deadly 
So "Act In Haste And Repent At Leisure!" 
Should Daily Warn You To 
"Look Before You Leap!" 
And 
"Think Before You Sink And Stink!" 

We Need The Lord To Breathe And Belong 
But
He Does Not Need Us To Reign And Rule! 

Think!

HAPPY SABBATH + Incinerators, Bananas And Eclipse Biscuits!?!





True Confession
Powerful Influence
Practical Godliness
Particular Sin


Brethren,
It Is Down To These Four!
It Is Now Or Nothing!
If Our Matchups Fail
We Are Doomed!

Each Of Us ... Personally
Has A Ministry ... Publicly
Has A Task ... Specifically
And
A Singular ... Message
A Certain ... Hope!

We Are A Peculiar People
Serving The Holy God
Who Does Not Play Favorites
By Excusing Sin!

Sin Is Sin
But
Some Sins Are Abominable
And
Are Delineated By Almighty God's Most Severe Punishments!

However,
Save For Blasphemy Against The Holy Spirit Of The Eternal God
By Whom We Are Sealed Against The Day Of Vengeance
All Sin
All SinAll Sin 
Is Forgiven
If And WhenGenuine Repentance
Is 
Placed Upon The Altar Of Sacrifice!

The Punishment For Blasphemy
The Punishment For Unrepented Sin
Is 
Death
The Second Death
Which Is Final! 

Recovery Is Impossible
Because
All Those Who Enter The Lake
Burning With Fire And Brimstone
Are ... Consumed!

An Analogy Is In Order ...

You Live Off Of Bananas And Biscuits
And
You Live In A Building With An Incinerator
To Which You Have Full And Free Access!
To Access ItYou Just Need To Walk
- In Any Direction -
Seven (7) Steps!

You Always Have In Your Possession
A Hand Of Ripening Bananas
- Undisposed, The Skins Are Sin -
And
A Box With 24 Packs Of Eclipse Biscuits
- Undisposed, The Wrappers Are Sin -

You Know The Rules!
You Accepted The Rules!
You Live By The Rules
Maybe ... Sorta ... Kinda ... Probably Not
Because
- Truth Must Be Told -
You Are A Raw-Mout' Sinner!

You Have Racked Up Many Building Code Violations
And
You Are Exerting A Deleterious Influence
Upon Your Neighbors!

People Are Complaining
And
Flies And Cockroaches And Mice
- Known Imps On Speed -
Are In 
And 
Escaping From Your Domain!

Things Have Finally Reached A Head!

The Chief Financial Officer Aka The Son Of Man ... Appealed To You
- You Killed Him
- He Rose Again
The Chief Operating Officer Aka The Holy Spirit Of Truth ... Pleaded With You
- You Threw A King Rat In His Face
The Chairman Of The Board Aka The King Of Glory ... Will Soon Step In!

You Consume Your Biscuits!
You Leave Sin Behind!
You Consume Your Bananas!
You Leave Sin Behind!

When You Put Your Sin In The InSINerator
It Is Consumed!

When Your Apartment
You
Your Cup
Becomes Filled With The Detritus Of An Ill-Spent
Sinful
Profligate Life
And
The Building Control Finally Has To Intervene
Because 
You Will Not Turn Away From Cherishing Sin
The Final Outcome
Is
SINner In The Incinerator!
You Are Consumed!

While The Weight Of Punishment 
Is 
According To Sin
The Outcome Is Nonetheless The Same:
Nothing Remains!
There's No Eternity In Pain!
It's Over!
There's No Purgatory!
There's No Do-Over!

On The Other Hand ...

When We Confess ...




Brethren,

Let Us Not Be Blind
And
As The Blind Leading The Blind!

The Lord God Is Holy!
He Is Glorious!
He Is Divine
And 
To Fallen Man
The God Eternal
Is
Forever Kind!

Let Us Not The Hand Of Hope
The Heart Of Love
Presumptuously Decline!
Come To Jesus Christ ... Now!
Start The Journey To Mount Zion!
Climb, Brethren!
Climb!

Let The Powerful Influence
In Your Life
Be From The Just One Who
Will Cause You
To Forsake Your Particular Sin!
Let True Confession
Lead You To Live A Life
Of
Practical Godliness!

*****

Godliness Has Its True Reward!

ONE: The Power Of One ...!


One Sin
Any One Sin ... Cherished
Is Sufficient
AND
Has Sufficient Power
To Degrade The Character Of Man
AND
Is Strong Enough To Cause Self
AND
Encourage Others
To Walk Boldly With The Wily Fraud
AND
Despise The Holy God!

All That Any Man Has Or Needs
In This Life
Always Starts With  ONE!

The Thing That Nobody Wants
In This Life
Always Starts With ... ONE! 

How Do YOU Look At ... ONE?! 

One Drop Of Poison
One Bullet From A Gun
One Cruel Wave Of The Sea
One Wrong Answer To The Right Question!
ONE And ... You're Done!

One White Lie
One Black Tale
One Occluding Net
One Broken Sail!
ONE And ... You Fail!

One Bee Sting
One Hornet's Nest
One Venomous Snake Bite
One Broken Headlight!
ONE And ... It's A For-Life-Fight!

One Rejection Letter
One Broken Heart
One Banana Peel
One Peel Of Derisive Laughter!
ONE ... Devious Crafter Of Disaster!

One Don't!
One Run!
One Bun In The Oven
One Mishap
One Miss
ONE ... Mistake!

I Am Sooo Tired Of This ONE!

On The Good Side ...

One God
One Savior
One Comforter
One Heaven
One Salvation
One Hope
One Helper
One Provider
One Teacher
One Great Physician
One Way To The Eternal Home
One Faith
One Baptism
One Right Way
One Narrow Way
One Seasoning Called Salt
One Soon Coming Of Our King
One God To Exalt! 

One Is A Champion
Depending On Right Use ...

A Whip
A Weapon
A Holey Shoe
A Clown Hat
A Riotous Clapback
OR 
A Soft Answer

One Rule Of Righteousness
One Right
One Left
One Top
One Bottom
One Back
One Front
One Son Of God Begotten
OR
One Wicked Satan Rotten

One Decision
- Good Or Ill - 
Life With God
OR
Lake Of Fire
No Chaser To Chill!


How Will You Eternity Fill?!
Will YOU Look
To The ONLY ONE
Who Will Make Life
In His Eternity
For His Children
An Everlasting Thrill?!

For What Do You Pray?







We Just Don't Know Of The Many Blessings
That Keep Us From Doing  
The Unholy One's Behest!

We Just Don't Know Of The Many Blessings
That Bring Us To The Lord 
So That We May Our Sin Confess!

We Just Don't Know Of The Many Blessings
Which Cause Us To Turn Away
From Falling Into Mortal Distress
So ...
Let's Give Our Praise And Thanks
Trust And Obedience To The Living God
So That Heaven Will Continue
Our Hearts And Hands To Bless!

Our Loving Savior
Says That We Must Come To Him
To Be Fed
BUT
Before We Can Go To Him
We Must Recognize
That We Have A Need
For The Bread Of Heaven
AND
Life's Living Water Pure
AND
Believe That God Can Will Feed Us
AND
ONLY THEN
Will Our Food Be Sure
AND
Secured!

Let No Man Deceive You!
The Living God Is Not Mocked!
Let Not Self Deceive You
To Believe
That Going To God Is There To Give You
Ample Temporal Stock
For
Life Is More Than Food And Raiment
Houses And Land
Possessions And Processions
Following Fashion
AND
Always Having The Winning Game Hand!

Coming To Jesus
Will Get You
The Father
AND
The Son!
Not Coming To Jesus
Will Make You
A Sure Lost
An Also Ran!

The Heavenly Father Won't Know You!
The Eternal Gifts For You
By You Will Be Cast Away
AND
In The Great Day's Dawning
Your Wailing Teeth-Gnashing
AND
Christ-Confessing Self
Will Receive Its Justly Earned
Jesus-Awarded
Fully Compensated
No Deductions
For Nor By Mercy Sanctioned
Eternal Gross Pay!

NOW Is The Accepted Time Of Salvation!
NOW Is The Time - Don't You Delay
For The Lord Is Willing
With You To Reason
No Matter What Your Life's Season!

He Will Listen To What You Have To Say
AND
If You Have Questions
Know For A Surety
That He Will Answer All
For
He Is The Creator God
Of Everything
Great And Small
On Under
Above The Blue Ball!

Please Know
Without Fear And Failing
That Jesus Christ
Is The Answer
Whereby You Can Reclaim
ALL
That Was Lost To Us
Because Of Man's
Satan-Inspired
Ignoble Fall!

Trust In The Lord!
Call On His Name!
Believe In His Promises!
Walk In His Way!
Live In His Light!
Take From That Holy Hand The Offered Blessing!
From Cherished Sin Walk Away
AND
By Jesus Christ The Righteous
Enter
The Land Bright With Everlasting Day!
