VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: PRAYER: One Thing I Ask, Lord!

1 John 5:14 KJV
And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us:

PRAYER:

Dear Father, 

In The Name Of The Lord Jesus, I Ask A Boon! Please Help Me In All Things To Make You My Default Position! Help Me To Ever Seek And Hold You In My Heart As My Back-To-Base, Ignoring The Taunts Of Those Who Call Me And My Brethren "Christians!" As A Pejorative, An Insult! You've Told Us That The Day Will Come When We, Your People, Will Be Without Earthly Support And I Beseech You To Keep Your Promise, Not That You Need To Be Asked Since You Are The Promise-Keeping God, But Because I Need To Touch Your Hand, Your Heart, By My Word Of Faith In You And Your Almighty Power! Lord, We Need You, I Need You, And I Am Not Ashamed To Say It Or For Others To Know It! Father, Others Have Stood Up And Have Counted Themselves Resolute, Committed, Faithful To False Gods Which Neither See, Hear, Speak, Walk, Hold, Help, Or Heal And So, Today, Right Now, As In The Wedding Ceremony, In The Covenant Vows Before The Company Of Witnesses, I Pledge You My Troth And With Your Assistance, I Choose To Keep Myself Unto You Alone, Without Reservation While This Life Shall Last By Your Holy Spirit, The Comforter Of Us All, Who Leads Us Into All Truth! Father, I Have No Other God Save You, The True And Living God! I Have No Help But You, My Refuge And My Strength! I Have No Home Save Yours, Beulah Land, The Beautiful City, The Home Of The Faithful, Where Peace Dwells! I Am So Glad That My Lord Jesus Loves Me And I Am Glad That He Called Me From The Darkness Of Death Through Sin And Into His Marvelous Light Where Life Everlasting Is The Home Of The Soul! Lord, Lift Me Up! Help Me To Be Like Jeremiah To Say That Your Call, Your Will For My Life, Is Like A Fire Shut Up In My Bones! Be It The Altar Of Sacrifice Or Drawing The Plow To Break Up The Fallow Ground By Telling The Good News To Those For Whom The Lord Christ Died, Help Me To Serve Faithfully And With Patient Endurance No Matter The Cost! Help Me To Live My Life Uttering The Call And Basking In The Lover Of My Soul With The Immortal Words "Jesus Saves!" Please Grant Me My Request For I Ask It In My Gift Of A Portion Of Jesus Christ's Faith Which Cannot Fail! I Love You With My Whole Heart And, With Thankfulness And Gratitude, I Bless Your Holy Name For All Your Blessings On Me And The Brethren, And All Who Shall Be The Ultimate Inheritors Of Christ's Free To All Salvation! AMEN!!!

HAPPY SABBATH + Life Ain't Fair!?!

 











We Like To Say That Life Is Unfair! We Also Like To Say That 
Life Is What You Make It! 
We Also Seem To Forget That Jesus Christ The Creator-God 
Is 
The Way, The Truth, And The Life! 
No Jesus, No Life! 

Should Not We Therefore Realize That 
It Is The Life Lived Without Jesus Christ, The Life-Giver 
And
The Light Of The World
That Causes People To Behave Inappropriately 
And 
Thereby Cause Still Other People To Accuse Life Aka The Lord Jesus!?! 

Dear Ones, 

We, As Committed To Christ Christians
Are Asked To Live In Peace With All People ... Where Possible! 

We May Choose To Let People Embitter Our Lives 
Or
We May Choose To Live For And In Jesus Christ ... Our Peac
Who Freely Gives Unto Us His Peace 
Which Passes Human Understanding! 

Beloved, 

Have You Not Realized That 
It Is Man's Unregenerate Heart 
Aka Man's Heart Unimproved By Grace That 
Causes Us The Problems Which We Say Cause Life To Be Unfair!?! 

Dear Ones, 

Let Us From This Day Forward 
Choose To Be Part Of The Solution 
And 
Not The Cause Of The Problems In Other People's Lives 
And 
Our Own! 

When We Let The Light Of Almighty God's Truth 
Be The Center Of Our Lives
It Is Guaranteed That The Devil Aka Our Adversary 
And 
His Minions 
Will Have No Part In Us! 

Be Encouraged ...

Our Relief Is Jesus! 
Our Release Is From Jesus! 
Our Refuge Is Jesus! 

Dare To Rest In Christ Jesus 
And
Be Relieved: 
Eternal Life Is Peaceful! 

Jesus Christ Saves! 

Peace!

Persistently Pray For Power To Press On!




Jesus Christ The King Of Glory
The Only Begotten Son Of 
The True And Living, Holy And Eternal God
 Is
The Messiah
The Anointed One After Whom Christians Are Named 
And
The One Who Calls Us To Faithfully Follow Him 
Up To The Loving Father's Peaceful House! 

We Are Climbing Jacob's Ladder As We Follow Our Dear Savior 
But
There Is A Raptor ... A Flying Predator 
Aka Satan, The Piercing Serpent, The Dragon
Who Will Do All To Focus Our Rapt Attention 
Away From The Holy One Who, Alone, Saves! 

We Can't Allow Ourselves To Be Diverted 
By The Myriad Images, Real Or Imagined
In The Rafters Above Our Heads! 

We, By Faith, Must Choose 
To Disembark Our Flimsy Raft Called Temporary-Thing 
And 
Get On Board The Solid And Secure Old Ship Of Zion 
Which Goes In One Direction 
To Its Only Port Of Call 
On Its Only Voyage! 

The Old Ship Of Zion 
Will Always Stop To Pick Up Passengers! 

Some Passengers Who Have Not Found Their Strength In Jesus 
Will Jump Ship 
Or Disembark The Old Ship 
Because 
There Is No Earthly Entertainment 
And 
The Atmosphere Is Clean ... Too Clean
Bereft Of Those Things 
Which Take The Heart Away From The Lord Christ! 

Beloved, 

We Can Neither Safely Love A Lie 
Nor Live A Lie! 

Only The Truth Will Bless The Spirit 
And 
Satisfy You Aka The Living Soul
The Soul In Its Search For Sure And Secure Salvation! 

Please Persistently Pray For Power To Press On! 

Peace!

Don't Rob Yourself Of Everlasting Life!




Do You Know The Difference Between 
An Open Invitation And An Open Ticket 
And
Understand Their Impress And Impact Upon John Q. Public 
And 
Committed To The Church Christians 
And 
Committed To Christ Christians!?! 

Beloved, 

There Is No Christian Church Without Jesus Christ 
Aka The Foundation! 

All Humans Have Been Given 
An Open Invitation To Come To Jesus Christ For Salvation! 

All Committed Christians Know That 
They Have An Open Invitation 
To Boldly Approach The Throne Of Grace 
To Obtain Mercy 
And
Find Grace To Help In Their Time Of Need! 

All Committed To Christ Christians Know That 
No Human Has An Open Ticket To Get To Glory 
On Their Own Terms
On Their Own Schedule
At Their Own  Expense
And 
According To Their Own "Feelings!" 

Dear Ones, 

Tread Softly Before The Lord 
And
Do Not Permit Nit-Picking
Fault-Finding
And 
Double-Mindedness 
To Cost You Your Share Of The Blessed Hope 
Because 
Your Creator-Savior Lacks The Philosopher's Wet Noodle For A Spine 
And 
Is Not Impressed By Your Many Ward-Robe Changes 
Even As He Commands That 
Your "Yes!" Be "Yes!" And Your "No!" Be "No!" 
Because 
Anything Else Leads One Into Sin! 

The Lord Christ Has Made His Will And His Way Plain 
By His Inflexible Word 
So Don't Rob Yourself Of Everlasting Life 
Because 
You Went To School And The Living God Didn't! 

Heads-Up, Dear Ones! 
The Living God Is The School: 
Let's Buy The Free Clue 
And 
Get A Solid Grip On Saving Truth!

Peace!

"I Am Following My Heart!?!"




Why Would We ... As A Committed-To-Christ Christians
Ever Utter The Words: 
"I Am Following My Heart!"  
When The Lord Of Life Calls Man's Heart Deceitful 
And, In Truth, Impossible To Know By Man!?! 

Beloved, 

We Really Need To Stop Following Popular Culture 
And 
The Self-Help No Help At All Gurus 
Who ... With Gay Abandon
Encourage People To Doubt The Word Of Almighty God 
To Gleefully Foray Into Fashionable Foolishness! 

There Was A Time When Your Parent Told You How To Live 
And
You Obeyed 
Because 
You Knew That They Loved You 
And 
Wanted What Was Best For You! 

Our Father In Heaven ... Our Parent Supreme
Has Warned Against Trusting Our Deceitful 
Aka Lying, Unholy, Proud, Desperately Wicked Heart 
Which We May Only Know The Right About 
Through His Saving Grace! 

Remember, Remember
Don't Ever Forget ...

Man's Heart Desires What Soothes The Senses 
And 
Not What Pleases Almighty God 
And 
Satisfies The Savior-Seeking Soul! 

It Takes Amazing Grace 
To Get Us To The Heights Of Christ's Surpassing Glory 
Where No Wicked, Unregenerate, Heart May Enter! 

Grace Is Available! 
Grab It! 

Peace!

Jesus Christ Is Not A Blind Guide!



KJV Proverbs 21:21
21 He that followeth after righteousness and mercy findeth life, righteousness, and honour.


Why Would A Christian Called, Committed, And Caring
Walk Confidently ... Eyes Down-Cast And Covered 
Along The Unknown Road Fraught With Danger
Policed By The Devil And Demons
The Demon-Possessed And The Demon-Inspired 
When Our Dear Savior Savior Says: 
"Look Up And Live: Follow Me!?!" 

Beloved, 

There Are People All Around Us 
Who Do Not Our Principles Share
Who Have Chosen The Path Of Destruction
And 
Who Do Not The Living, Holy, God Fear! 

I Beseech Us All Kindly
To Think Of Our Jesus 
Who Died To Grant Us Each His Free-To-All Salvation 

And Then

Remove The Blinders
And
Trustingly Lift Up Our Heads 
And
Widely Open Our Eyes! 

The Light Of Life 
Is 
Above And Ahead Of Us! 

The Strong Arm Of Love 
Is 
Our Comfort And Shield! 

The Road To Eternal Life
Is 
Straight, Narrow, And Clearly Defined
And 
Holy Angels Excelling In Strength 
Are Dutifully Protecting Us 
Who Are Staying On The Heaven-Bound Line! 

Work, Watch
Don't Wander Or Wonder
And 
Please Patiently Wait On 
The God Of Grace Who Inhabits Glory! 

Jesus Christ Is Neither A Blind Guide
An Empty Cloud
A Shooting Star
Nor A Fruitless Tree 
So Honor Him Who Made You 
And 
Only To Him Give Your Heart 
And
Humbly Bend Your Knee!

Please Make Jesus Christ The King Your Choice! 

Peace!

Do Not At Smooth-Talking Snakes Quake!








The Bible Is A Superb Book That Transports Us Through Time
And
From Time Into Eternity 
Where We May Reside With The God Gracious
Loving, Holy, Divine! 

We Are Each Given The Gift Of Faith With Which To Believe 
So That We Do Not Depend Upon Ourselves 
To Find Acceptance Of Living Truth: 
Almighty God's Gracious Blessings Are For Us Daily To Receive! 

Beloved, 

Your Birth-Right Gives To You Free-Will 
And 
Freedom To Choose The Good And Right
To Walk In Holy Light
And 
To Be To Our Creator-Savior
A Grand And Glorious Delight! 

As Men, We Are Known Weaklings! 
As Christians, We Are Made Strong In The Lord 
And 
Are To Operate In The Power Of His Might 
And So
I Encourage Us All, Brethren
Do Not At Smooth-Talking Snakes
Roaring Lions
And 
Winged Dragons Quake! 

Let Jesus Christ Take Your Wheel 
Because 
His Love For You Is All-Encompassing Real
Not All-Consuming Fake! 

Let The Holy Angels Work Beside You: 
Do Good! 

Let The Holy Spirit Work Inside You: 
Accept Good! 

Let The Holy God's Judgment Be For You 
As He Has Already Done A Complete Work To Save You! 

Cooperate With Jesus Christ 
And By Appointment
On The Hallelujah Day
To Surpassing Glory Rise! 
Spit On Satan's Lies! 

Be Alive In Christ! 

Peace!

DON'T BE A REPROBATE: Choose The Life-Giver!




To Love The Lord Jesus
To Be Kind In His Holy Name
To Do Right Because It Is Good
To Trust The Living Word And Not Fear The Word Of Man
To Speak Truth In Righteousness
To Walk Wise And Not Act The Fool
And 
To Lift Up The Lord 
And
Never Instigate Evil 
Are All Personal Choices To Be Constantly 
And 
Consistently Made By Us 
As Christians Committed To The Cause Of Our Lord Jesus Christ! 

Beloved, 

Praying Without Ceasing 
And 
Exercising Faith First, Last, And Always 
Is 
A Personal Choice That Eternally Profits! 

Doubting The Word Of God 
While Calling On The Name Of The Lord 
Reaps Us No Reward Or Benefit 
And
That, Too, Is Our Personal Choice! 

Please Never Forget That 
We Reap What We Sow 
And
We Eat What We Grow 
And
We Walk Where Our Mind Wanders! 

If We Choose To Longingly Follow After Christ
We Will ... By Faith ... Permit Our Minds To Be With Him 
In The Most Holy Place Of The Heavenly Sanctuary! 

If Jesus Is In Us By The Holy Spirit Of Truth
Then We Will Not Wonder About Sin
And 
Wander Into Transgression 
And 
Hang A Hard Left Into Iniquity 
And 
End Up As Reprobates 
To Be Cast Into Outer Darkness 
By Our Own Choosing! 

Let Us This Day Choose To Make Wise 
And 
Eternally Profitable Choices 
No Matter Who By Or For What 
We May Be Cursed At And Ridiculed! 

May It Be Your Choice Today To Smile With Hope 
And
Let The Light Of The Life-Giver 
Gloriously Shine Into Every Dark Area Of Your Life! 

Peace!

Be Wise Unto Salvation!








Only In Jesus Christ 
Can Illness Illuminate The Darkness That Accompanies Sin
Turn A Test Into A Testimony To Bless Self And Others
And 
Transform A Mess Into A Message That 
Blesses Any And Everyone! 

Beloved, 

A Committed-To-Christ Christian 
Is Not 
A CINO Aka A Christian In Name Only! 

We Are Called 
To Be Wise Unto Salvation
To Recognize That We Are Weak 
When We Walk Outside The Wonderful Ways Of The Only Wise God
To Understand That Without Truth Our Living 
Is 
Terror, Test, Trial
Mistakes, Messes, Danger
Darkness And Despair 
And
All Without Hope Or Expectation Of The Eternity Of Peace 
With The Great God Of Glory! 

Dear Ones, 

A Life Lived Without The Light Of Life 
Ultimately Leads To The Darkness Of The Second Death! 

Let Us Be Wise For Our Own Selves 
And 
Recognize That Sin In All Of Its Manifestations 
Aka Sinful Nature, Cultivated Sin
Cherished Sin, Presumptuous Sin
And 
The Sin That So Easily Besets 
Are All Illness Needing The Healing Touch Of The Great Physician
The God Who Knows, Sees, Feels 
And 
Is Ever Present! 

I Beseech Us All Today To Humble Ourselves ... And Pray
And 
Diligently Seek The Lord's Face
And 
Turn From All Of Our Known Wicked Ways 
So That Our God Will Not Shut Up Heaven Against Us
But 
Will Hear Us As We, In Need, Pray
And 
Will Forgive Us Of Our Sin, Transgressions
And 
Our Trespasses Against His Holiness 
And
Heal Us, Heal Our Land! 

Please Do Not Permit Willful Sin To Separate You 
From Jesus Christ Our Lord
The God Who, Alone, Saves! 

Praying In Faith ... In Childlike Trust
Is 
Powerful! 

Peace!

Lead, Follow, Or Leave!?!



Lessons To Live By: 

It Was Long Ago But I Remember 
Sitting In A Corporate Meeting And Hearing 
The Managing Director Say Bluntly To All Assembled: 

"If You're A Leader, Lead! 
If You're A Follower, Follow 
But If You Can't Lead And Won't Follow
Feel Free To Leave!" 

At Another Meeting
In The Midst Of Reading The Riot To Us All
The Statement Made Was: 

"There Are Only Two Kinds Of People In This Organization 
And That Means You're Either Income Or Expense! 
If You're An Expense, You'd Better Be Able To Justify 
Why You're Worth Being Carried!" 

I Have Never Forgotten Those Words 
And Now
You Shouldn't Either! 

As Christians, We Are Well Aware That Jesus Christ 
Is 
Our True And Only Leader 
And
We Are To Be His Faithful, Obedient
Enduring, Productive, Followers! 

Since We Cannot Lead Jesus Christ Our King
We Must Follow Him 
And
If We Won't Follow Him
It Is Guaranteed That We Will Be Left In Deep Darkness 
Outside The Glorious Living Kingdom! 

Secondly,

We Have Already Been An Expense To Almighty God 
Where Our Doings Caused Jesus Christ 
To Lay Down His Life For Our Salvation! 

As Such, And With Loving Gratitude In Our Hearts
We Should All Be Bringing Income, Wealth Aka Souls 
Into The Kingdom Of Grace 
For Love Of Our Lord Jesus 
By Telling Them That Jesus Saves
What He Has Done For Us
What He Is Now Doing
And 
What He Will Do For Us 
And
For Them Also! 

Dear Ones, 

Please Think About This Long And Hard 
And
Act According To How You Value Your Salvation 
Purchased With Innocent-Blood! 

Peace!

SECOND-GUESSING ALMIGHTY GOD: "No!" Is A Complete Sentence!




To See Our Lord Jesus Christ In Perfect Peace
We Must Understand, Accept
And 
Operate Under The Knowledge That "No!" 
Is 
A Complete Sentence 
Bearing Full Instructions Incapable Of 
Being Misconstrued, Misapplied
Mistaken, Mismanaged
Or Misinterpreted! 

Beloved, 

I Don't Know About You
But 
It Always Cracks Me Up To Hear One Person Say To Another: 

"Which Part Of "No!" Didn't You Understand: 
The N Or The O!?!" 

"No!" Stands For No Options! 

The Idea Of A One-Word Sentence 
Should Not Be Strange To Christians! 

We Have Jesus, Mercy, Grace
Help, Love, Heaven, Peace
Believe, Repent
Liar, Babylon, Hell, Satan! 

Each Of These One-Word Sentences 
Should Instantly Write A Story 
And 
Paint An Unmistakeable Picture In Our Minds! 

Dear One, 

How Do You Feel About Being Told "No!?!" 
Does Your Internal Translator 
Automatically Substitute "Yes!" In Its Place!?! 

Are You One Given To The Idea That 
"No!" Means Let The Negotiations Begin!?! 

Do You Believe That 
Second-Guessing The Lord For Denying You Your Heart's Desire 
Is 
Going To Make Like A Bird And Fly!?! 

We Are Growing In Grace 
          Through Faith 
                     Which Works By Love! 

Refusing The Direct Command Of 
The Lord Will Not Get You The New Life
The New Name
The White Robe
The Gold Harp
Or The Gold Crown! 

What We Practice We Perfect! 

Let's Set About Perfecting Our Praise 
And 
Accepting The Good Lord's "No!" Of Love By Faith 
So That By Patient Endurance We Will Hear 

"Welcome!" 

                      "Enter!" 

                                    "Home!" 

                                                     "Peace!"

Faith Doesn't Depend On Feeling






Trials Come! 

Is Your Faith In Jesus Christ The Lord Fixed Or Fluid!?! 

Is Your Hope In The Lord Like Solid Rock Or Like Quick Sand!?! 

Is Your Love For The Lord Just For The Loaves And Fishes 
Aka The Gifts And Good Times 
Or Is It For The Saving Truth
The Love That Loved You First
The Love That Will Not Let You Go To Hell In A Hand-Basket 
Without First Giving You A Way To Escape Your Self
Your Sin
Your Shame
Your Sorrow 
And
The Satan Aka The Adversary Always On The Attack!?! 

Beloved, 

Are You Able To Say ... Like Job
"Though The Lord Slay Me, Yet Will I Trust Him!?!" 
And 
With Shadrach, Meshach And Abednego 
While Facing Death In Babylon's Fiery Furnace 
"Whether Our God Saves Us Or Not
We Will Trust Him And Not Worship Falsely!?!" 

Many Of Us Who Are Christians 
Erroneously Believe That Saying 
"Jesus, Jesus!" 
Is 
The Key To The Existence Called
"Fair To Fine No Showers Expected!"  
This Does Not Biblically Compute! 

A Comfortable Existence Never Equals Soul Salvation! 
Ask The Citizens Of Sodom And Gomorrah 
If You Can Find Them! 

Let Us Wise Up 
And
Get Up 
And 
Stand Firm In The Faith That Cannot Fail 
And
Confidently 
And 
Enduringly Say Boldly: 
"The Devil Is The Liar: 
By Almighty God's Great Grace
I Will Walk Faithfully With Jesus Christ My Lord!" 
Say It! 
Believe It! 
Live It! 
Your Eternal Peace Depends On It!

Loving God And Loving Each Other!



  



Without The Love Of God In Our Hearts
The Words We Speak
The Spirit Under Which We Operate
The Sincerity We Display
And 
The Devotion To The Lord That We Communicate 
All Mean Bupkis, Nothing, Nada, Zilch 
And
We Will Not Enter Into The Eternal Rest That 
Is 
The Heritage Of The Blessed People Of Almighty God! 

Beloved, 

A Performing Aka Acting Christian 
Is 
Not The Same As A Humble, Obedient
Working, Loving Christian! 

The Priests, Scribes 
And 
The Pharisees Of Old Were Adept Performers! 
They Were In Costume
And
In Character
And
Knew Their Lines 
And
Were Looking Forward To Their Paycheck Aka Sweet Words 
From The Beguiled 
And
Good Coin From Their Unholy Enterprises! 

Ill-Gotten Gain Gave Them Goosies
Aka Goosebumps Of Ecstasy! 
They Sang The Songs Of Zion For Show! 
They Did Acts Of Charity For Show! 
They Prayed Long Prayers For Show! 
They Preached The Word To Show Their Grasp Of The Material 
And 
Show Off Their Vocabulary! 
Their Devotion To Almighty God 
Held No Love For Almighty God
And 
Their Worship Was Vain, Hollow ... Loveless! 

Brethren, Beloved 

There Is No Faking Christianity 
Until You "Become" A Christian!

We Accept The Lord Jesus Christ As Savior, Lord, And God
And
Confess And Repent Of All Of Our Known Sin
And
We Become Christians
Striving Daily For The Mastery Of Self
And
Victory Over Every Sin That So Easily Besets Us!

We Live For Christ Jesus: 
We Are Called By His Holy Name!

We Are Called To Life Everlasting
So Let Us, By The Holy Spirit, Love Our Dear Jesus 
By Thought, Word, And Deed 
As We Love Our Brethren 
As We Love Ourselves! 
True Love Works!

Remember, Remember
Don't Ever Forget ...

We Are Saved By Grace Through Faith
But
We Are Judged By Our Work!
Think Carefully About What You Are Doing Today!

CHRISTIANS: Peculiar Privileged People






The Word On Everybody's Tongue Today 
Is 
Privilege! 

We Are Being Asked To Check, As In Arrest, Our Privilege 
As Though Privilege 
Is 
A Bad Thing!
All Privileges Are Not Created Equal!

Beloved, 

We Are Christians ... Christ's Followers
And
By Virtue Of Our Faithful Association
We Have Access, Reach, Grasp And Hold!
We Are Peculiarly Privileged
So I Encourage Us All To Embrace 
The High And Holy Privilege That 
We Each Have Been Accorded By The Lord Of Life
The Creator-God
The Joy Of Every Man! 

Consider That We Are The Apple Of The Eternal God's Eye 
Even As He Holds The World In His Hand 
And 
He ... Personally Invited
Lives In Each Of Our Hearts! 

Think On These Things ...

We Have The Free And Open Invitation 
To, At-Will, Boldly Approach The Throne Of Grace 
In The Heavenly Sanctuary! 

We Are Encouraged To Reason With Our Maker! 

We Are Asked To Let Our Requests 
Be Made Known Unto The Living God! 

We Are Given Freedom
Free Will 
And 
The Choice To Worship Him
- Or Not Worship Him - 
Who Could Easily Deprive Us Of Life: 
No Force Is Employed! 

If These Things Are Not Privileges
We Will Never Ever Know 
What Makes Something A Real Privilege! 

Our God Is Holy, Kind, Loving
Giving, Forgiving
The Mighty Healer
The Sealer Of Souls
The Revealer Of Truths That Never Die!

We Are Invited To Enter His Courts ... Without Fear
So Let's Dare ... Today
To Ignore The World 
And
Choose To Embrace The Privilege 
Personally Given To Each Of Us 
To Become A Son Or Daughter Of The God Of Love 
Who Inhabits Eternity 
And
Has A Personal Place Prepared For Each Of Us 
In His Heavenly House Of Peace And Joys Forevermore! 

Remember, Remember 
Don't Ever Forget ... 

Earthly Privileges Are Ours To Enjoy
If
We Please ... Or Are Of A Benefit To ... The Giver
But
Heavenly Privileges Are Ours 
To Accept Or RejectUse Or Ignore!
No One Can Force Us To Use Our God-Given Privileges
And
No One ... Human Or Spirit
Can Force Us Not To Use Our Privileges! 

The Lord God Almighty Calls Us To His Side
And
To Be Like Him
By Taking Hold And Fully Utilizing 
The Privileges He Lovingly Accords Us! 

We ... Taught Of God And Faithful ... Know Who He Is! 
We Know Who We Are Because Of Sin! 
We Know Who We Will Be By, In, And Through Him
Through His Free-To-All Salvation! 

The Final Outcome ... Our Final Outcome
Will Always Be According To Our Exercised Sovereign Will! 

Brethren, Beloved

Please Choose Your Final Port Of Call Wisely!
 
Having ... And Being In ... Perfect Peace With 
The Eternal God Of Grace And Glory
Is
The Blessed And Sacred Privilege Of
The Saints Of Almighty God And Jesus Christ The Lord!
