VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: CHRISTIAN NECESSITIES: R.E.A.P Truth For Real Riches!

Many Of Us Who Ought To Know Better

Walk Proudly In Selfish Lust

And

Not Humble In Saving Grace!

We ... Like The Fool
Listen To The Lawless Musings Of The Unregenerate Heart

And 

Choose To Follow Fast Fashion, Fair-Weather Friends 

And 

The Furious Fiend

And 

Not The Still Small Voice Of The Sweet Holy Spirit Of Truth

And 

For Our Lack Of Faith's Discernment 

Must Spend Days, Weeks, And Years In The Realm Of 

"What If ...!?!" 

When We Could Be Enjoying The Journey To The Land Of 

"Oh, What A Savior!" 

Disobedience 
On A Warm, Slickly-Buttered Slice Of Instant Gratification 
May Taste Sweet Going Down

But

It Makes Your Belly Bitter

Even As As It Methodically Blights Your Life! 

Regret 
Is 
Like Eating Bitter Melon:

It Doesn't Taste Too Nice Going Down

But

Accepted And Learned From

It Surely Does A Body Good!

Obedience ... On All Points

Is 

• Good Food
• A Body Builder
• A Way Maker
• A Straight Road 
• A Trustworthy Convenience Store In The Desert Of Sin
• An Oasis Of Pure, Cool, And Sweet Water Of Truth To Slake Your Thirst After Drinking The Wormwood Water Of Doubt, The Fire Water Of Sin, And The Sickeningly Sweet Molasses Water Of Unfettered Lust And Inappropriate Desire

It Is Time To R.E.A.P. Truth! 

Recognize It

Embrace It

Accept It, And

Propagate It

To Do Anything Less 
Is 
Spiritual And Physical Suicide!

Thought For The Week Ahead:

Who Is Richer: 
The Man Who Is As Wealthy As King Croesus 

OR 

The Man Whose God 
Is 
The King Of Love

The Flinty Rock In The Desert Of Sin Which Provides Sweet Pure Water Of Life

   When You Are About Ready To Die Of Thirst

The Pillar Of Cloud That Offers Sure Protection From The Burning Heat

And 

The Pillar Of Fire That Provides Light And Warmth 

   In The Dark And Cold Night Of Your Distress 

   When The Encroaching, Raging, Lion Who Is Seeking To Devour You, Roars!?! 

Beloved, 

When Your Unmentionables Are In A Twist

And 

Your Nether Region Is In A Sling

And 

Your Hand Is In The Lion's Mouth

And 

You're Standing On A Banana Peel 
With One Foot And Four Toes In The Grave

There Ain't No Amount Of Money Can Save You

So Set Your Priorities In Order! 

We Can't Buy Off Neither Death Nor Satan

And

Lions Like Blood, Meat And Bone! 

The Choices Are Two: 
The Pride Of Life OR The Love Of God!

The Masters Are Two:

Satan OR The Savior! 

The Residences Are Two:
Damnation OR Salvation! 

And

The Currencies Are Two: Faith OR Doubt 

But 

The Decision Is One ... And Yours Alone: 

Where Do You Stand!?!  

     How Will You Stand!?! 

          With Whom Will You Stand!?! 

               Will You Stand!?! 

Faith Is A Walking Stick

A Battle Ax

A Back Prop

And

Truth Is Light

A Sword

A Comfortable Bed

A Warm Blanket

And

Both Are Christ's Gifts To Us

And

Are Available

Indispensable And Non-Disposable

Christian Necessities!
