HAPPY SABBATH + God-Conscious: The Word Of The Lord Stands Forever!

One Of The Wonderful Things About 

Being Under The Benevolent Control Of The Holy God 

Is That 

We Have Options! 

We Have The Free-Will 

To Exercise Our Freedom To Choose 

To Utilize Any And All Options 

Then On The Loaded Table Of Life! 

What A Buffet! 

If You Are A Committed Christian

You Will, With Wisdom Say:

Lord God Almighty, 

I Love You 

And 

Choose To Let You Rule My Life 

According To Your Living Word

The Unerring Truth! 

Please Help Me 

Not To Indulge In The See-Food Diet 

And 

Give In To Guts Over Glory! 

Beloved, 

We Are Nearing Home! 

We Need To Get Back To Basics! 

We Need To Get Back To Being God-Conscious 

And 

Reject Being Self-Conscious 

Which Is Where Sin

Via Lucifer's Elevation Aka Consciousness Of His Self 

Entered The Universe

And 

Subsequently Despoiled Our Fore-Parents 

And 

Our Earthly Home! 

In One Text Of Scripture

We Are Cautioned

Warned

Encouraged

And 

Blessed 

And

We Need To Take Heed 

To The Preservation Of Our Own Souls 

Because 

All Else Will Pass Away Into Oblivion: 

The Word Of Our God Will Stand Forever! 

Self 

Is 

A Notorious Sinner!

Jesus Christ ... The Word Of God

Is 

Lord, God, And King Forever: 

Do Not Crucify Him Again 

By Bringing His Name To An Open Shame 

By Exploring Bad Options! 

The Word Of Almighty God Works 

And 

Is Always On Duty: 

Hookups Are Encouraged! 

The Lord's Truth 

Is 

Our Belt, Sword, And Shield: 

Be Wise Unto Your Own Soul's Salvation! 

Peace! 

OPTIONS: Temporary Satisfaction vs. Eternal Bliss!

 

We Have Options! 

We Have The Choice Between Truth And Error

Good And Evil

Careful And Careless 

And 

Temporary Satisfaction And Eternal Bliss! 

For A Committed Christian

The Idea Of Having 

"A Lil' A Dis Right 

And Summa Dat Wrong" 

Like Eating Off A Buffet Table 

Is 

An Illusion! 

Beloved, 

Consider That You Are A House Well Maintained 

Until One Fine Day 

When Some Howlie Broke One Of Your Windows! 

You're Angry 

Because 

You Have Someplace To Be 

And 

You Really Don't Feel Like 

Dealing With That Issue Right Now! 

You Go About Your Business 

Which Turned Out To Be Profitable 

And

In Euphoria

You Forget About The Broken Window! 

Somebody Else Didn't! 

That Minor Broken Window 

Transformed Into Your Major Problem 

When It Became The Gateway For Thieves 

Whose Wicked Activities Were Only Discovered 

When Your Haphazardly-Managed House-Alarm 

Was Eventually Triggered! 

For Being Willfully Careless

You Were Wiped Out When The Thieves Cleaned Up! 

You Have To Start Over ... If You're Able! 

Dear Ones, 

Build Back Better 

Is 

Euphemism For 

"I Dropped The Glass Ball!" 

Knowing Right And Doing Wrong 

Is 

Sin 

So Please Clean Up Your "Little" Sin 

Before Bad Habit Turns Into Planned Sin 

Which Turns You ... Unwise

Into A Reprobate

Unapproved By Almighty God! 

Be Wise For Your Own Self And ... Think 

And

Get Your Bible-Scale 

And 

Weigh Short-Term Ungodly  Ease 

Against Eternal Heavenly Bliss! 

You Know The Truth: Embrace It! 

You Know The Way: Walk In It! 

Peace! 

HAPPY SABBATH + CHOICE: Consent + Cooperation

Consent And Cooperation 

Are Words Both Decidedly Delicious 

And 

Damnably Distasteful 

At One And The Same Time! 

If You Are A Committed Christian

Jesus Christ Will Save, Use, And Seal You 

Because 

Of Your Willing, Informed

And 

Free-Will Consent 

And 

Faith-First Cooperation! 

If You Are A Nominal 

Aka NATO Aka No Action Talk Only

Bread 'N Fish Christian

Satan Aka The Accuser Of The Brethren 

And

The Adversary Of Your Soul

Will Gladly Use, Abuse, And Accuse You 

With Your Willing Consent 

And 

Full Cooperation

With The Sworn Intention Of Destroying Your Life! 

If You Follow Satan

You Will Be Condemned, Damned 

And 

Eternally Destroyed By The Judge Of All Flesh

The Lord Christ! 

When You Follow The Lord Christ

You Will Be Temporarily Targeted

Tested, Tried, Tempted

Terrorized And Tortured 

By The Already Condemned, Damned

And 

Waiting To Be Finally, Eternally, Destroyed, Satan 

Who Presently Thrives On Deception, Lies 

And 

Murder! 

Choice 

Is

Consent And Cooperation! 

In The Great Day Of Small Things

Will Your Present Choice See You Rising Up To Glory 

Or 

Ruined And Routed To Hell!?! 

Please Search Your Own Soul 

And 

Seek To Save Yourself: 

Choose The Love 

And 

The Life Of The Lord Jesus Christ 

Who Always Protects 

And 

Provides The Choicest Blessings 

For His Consenting, Cooperating 

And 

Enduringly Trusting And Faithful People! 

Peace!

My Heart Wants What It Wants!?!

No Committed Christian

- Having Confessed And Repented Of Known Sin

And 

Having Taken Jesus Christ As Their Everlasting Portion -

Should Ever Allow The Words 

"My Heart Wants What It Wants!" 

To Pass Their Lips With Regard To The Lust 

For Some Unholy, Fleeting, Fleshly Desire! 

The Lord Jesus ... Our Own Savior ... In The Living Word

Has Warned Us That 

The Heart Of Man Is Desperately Wicked 

And 

Beyond All Knowing! 

Beloved, 

Without The Reviving 

And 

Reforming Regenerative Power Of 

The Indwelling Holy Spirit Of Truth 

To Make The Living, Holy, Way Plain 

To Each One Of Us Individually ... And Personally

We Will Never See The Unclouded Day That 

Is 

Life In The Presence Of The Eternal God! 

The Human Heart

- Minus Christ In Us Our Hope For Glory - 

Is 

A Licensed Liar And Deceiver 

Even Deceiving Its Own Host! 

Are You Living Your Life 

Following The Hum And Hush Of 

Your Heart's Lustful Desires!?! 

Stop It! 

The Lord Our God Daily Gives Unto Each One Of Us

A Measure Of Enduring Faith 

And 

Encourages Us To Reason With Him 

And

Not With Ourselves! 

Self Is A Sinner! 

A Lustful Heart Is In The Sinner

And

Only Christ Can Remove Self From Us

And 

Give To Us The New Heart That 

Truly Beats For The Living God: 

Ask For It With Your Gift Of Enduring Faith 

And 

Lovingly Receive The Unfettered Blessing! 

Peace! 

Live With A Light Touch!

A Christian Desirous Of 

And 

Avidly Seeking After The Easy Life 

On Colorful, Brightly Lit 

And 

Always Entertaining Broadway

Is 

A Sweet Treat 

And 

A Cheap Play-Thing For That Damned Satan! 

As Committed Christians

We Have Been Told 

And 

Have Had This Truth Repeated For Us To Gain Wisdom 

- Foresight To Operate 

And 

Insight To Maneuver -

So That We Do Not Have To Suck On 

Hindsight's Tailpipe Of Regret 

As We Vainly, Bitterly Utter: 

"Woe Is Me! 

I Could Have! 

I Would Have! 

I Should Have

But 

I, Disobedient, Did Not!" 

Beloved, 

We Know For A Fact That Anything In This Life That 

Is 

Truly Worth Possessing 

Comes At A Great Cost

Be It Blood, Sweat, Tears, Friends

Family ... Or Funds! 

Brethren, 

The Life Of Christ Shows Us 

What It Cost Almighty God

Father, Son And Holy Ghost

- In The Personal Sacrifice Of The Only One Innocent - 

To Gift To Us New Life ... Eternal Life

A Future 

And 

An Expected End Of Peace 

And 

Joys Forever! 

Beloved, 

Accepting And Holding The Blessed Gift 

Is 

Going To Cost Us Everything That Is Earthy! 

Please Live With A Light Touch 

And 

An Even Lighter Hold On Earth's Goods! 

Remember, Remember 

Don't Ever Forget ... 

Carnal Pleasure And Ease 

Will Never Satisfy Our Hungry Souls: 

Look Up To Jesus Christ Always

And

In All Ways

And

Be Eternally Blessed! 

Obedience

To The Immutable Truth

Pays

Eternal Dividends! 

THE EXCHANGE AND THE ELEVATOR: Cherish Your Neck!

 

There's The Expression: 

"Ef De Head Bad

De Whole Body Bad!" 

If We Indulge In Stinking Thinking

It Stands To Reason That The Body

- Permanently Fixed To The Head -

Goes Where The Head Leads! 

In Between The Head And The Body

Is 

The Long, Short

Fat Or Thin Neck That We Shall Call 

The Exchange 

And 

The Elevator! 

If We Remove The Head From The Neck

The Body Dies! 

If We Remove The Body From The Neck

The Body Dies! 

Beloved, 

To The Committed Christian

Jesus Christ, The Creator

Is 

The Head Attached To The Body 

By The Neck Called Grace! 

To Jesus Christ

The Body Is Us ... His Church

Connected To Him By The Neck Called Faith! 

Grace Coming Down The Neck 

Is 

Expansive, Wide, Deep

To Cover All Of Us 

- Each One Personally - 

In Every Need! 

Faith Going Up To Jesus 

Is 

A Narrow Beam 

And 

Does Not Allow For Vain Philosophy

Wayward Thinking

Disobedience

Willful Sins

Unbelief

Disbelief

Doubt Or Gainsaying! 

Guard Your Heart: Save Your Faith! 

Brethren, Beloved

Our Jesus Christ 

Is 

In His Glory 

And 

It Is Only By His Grace 

Through The Exercise Of 

His Gift To Us Of His Faith ... To Get To Glory

That We Shall Get To Glory!

Cherish Your Neck! 

Greedily Grab And Hold Grace 

And 

Boldly Use Aka Exercise Faith! 

By Working Faith

Endure All Things In Order To Reach 

The Golden Shore! 

PATHWAYS: Walking Wise Or Wild

You Can Sing Hymn A Ton
But Anywhere I Can Go

I Am Making The Journey! 

Any Place I Want To Go

I'm Making The Trek! 

No! You Can't! 

Yes, I Can! 

No! You Can't! 

Yes, I Can, And I Will ... I Do! 

Okay! You Win And Lose! 

Excuse Me!?! 

I Did Not Stutter! 

I Plainly Said:

"Okay! You Win And Lose!"

Why Did You Say That!?! 

All I'm Doing Is Having A Good Time

Enjoying My Life ... You Know, Mine

Aka Making Sure My Individual Needs 
Are Exalted, Fulfilled And Thoroughly Enjoyed 
No Matter The Cost! 

It's Alllll About Me! 

You Should Try It! 

It's Absolutely Delicious! 

Wow! And You Call Yourself A Committed Christian!?! 

Indeed I Do! 

I'm All For Jesus! 

Thank You For Clarifying 
Your Personal Vision Of Christ's Christianity

Because

Your Christianity Is Not Christ's! 

Bite Your Tongue ... And Then Explain That Remark! 

This, My Child, Explains You! 

You're Making Paths For Your Own Feet

"Doing What Thou Wilt!" 

Which Is Satan's Version Of

The Law Of Almighty God! 

Every Place That One Can Go

Is Not 
A Place That One Should Go

... Even If You Want To

And Can Go There! 

But Life Is Exciting And Fun

And Unpredictable 
And Exciting And Fun ...! 

... And You're Repeating Yourself! 

Are You Trying To Convince Me Or Yourself!?! 

I Like Fun And Excitement! 

Who Are You Following!?! 

Following!?! 
I Don't Follow People!
People Follow Me

And I'm Doing Me ... All Day, Every Day! 

You Are Following Self

And 
All Spirit-Led ... Holy Spirit-Led Christians 
Know That Self
Is 
A Rabid Sinner! 

You Should Be Following The Savior! 

I Am Not A Sinner! 

You Are A Liar! 

How Dare You!?! 

If You Actually Opened Your King James

You Would Surely Know Why I Dare! 

Oookay! 

Tell Me Why I'm A Liar, Then! 

All Mankind Are Sinners! 

We All Fall Short Of The Glory Of Almighty God! 

We Walk In Our Own Ways

And

Depart From The Lord's Path

Because Of

That Little Sinner Called Self

Which You Apparently ... Obviously 

Are Wittingly Harboring In Your Ample Bosom! 

Self Is A Prostitute
Just Like That Adulterous Woman
King Solomon Warned His Son Against
And
We Are Warned Against Self

Against Walking In Its Ways

Which Are Always Downhill! 

Look! 

I Shall Be Plain:

Take A Page Out Of King David's Prayers

And

You Shall Be Blessed And Saved!

You'll Have All The Fun And Excitement You Want Or Need

And Then Some

Because

A Day With The Lord Cannot, Will Not

Ever Be Boring

And

For The Bonus

Walking With The Lord Is ...! 

Bonus!?! 

Yes, As In Profit

As In Profitable! 

I Like Profit! 

That's Strange Since 

The One You're Blithely Walking With

Is

Decidedly Unprofitable! 

Tell Me NOW! 

Tell Me How! 

Tell Me At Whose Throne I Bow!?! 

Very Well! 

King David, The Sweet Psalmist, Said

To His Lord And His God
His Father In Heaven:

King David Knew From Experience 

Learned With Bitter Tears

That Walking According To Self And Feelings

Always Leads To ...! 

... Death! 

So You Read That Story!?! 

Yes! 

It Was Horribly Sad And Painful! 

In That Case

Let's Walk ... Forward:

There Are Only Two Ways

Two Paths In This Life 

Available For Man To Choose! 

The Paths Of Jesus Christ
Of The Almighty God 
Are Righteousness, Mercy, Truth

And

Peace

And 

All Who Walk Therein Are Safe 
From Walking In The Paths Of Satan, The Destroyer! 

The Paths Of Satan
The Known, Raging, Ravening, Destroyer

Are Darkness And Death 

And 
Destruction 

And 
Everything Contrary To The Holy Word Of 

The Eternal God Of Grace Who Gives Life 

And 

Sheds The Light Of Life That 

Leads To Sure And Secure Soul Salvation 

Dearly Purchased For All Mankind! 

We Who Believe ... I Include You

- Because You Say That You're A Believer -

Accept The Giver ... Jesus Christ The Lord

And 
The Gift: We Are Nearing Home! 

Now Is Not The Time For You To Be Going Your Own Way

Doing Your Own Thing
And

Straying

Like You Have No Anchor For Your Purchased Soul! 

We Must Keep Walking In The Paths Of the Living God

Doing Good

Blessing Others

Pleasing God 

And 

Blessing Ourselves! 

Surpassing Glory Awaits The Enduring, Faithful, Obedient

Who Trust The Ever-Living One
And

His Everlasting Word

And

Are Sincerely Wise Unto Their Own Soul's Salvation!

May I Suggest That

You Tell Self, Sorry, Nor Sorry

I Need My Savior

Not You

Not Satan

Not Sin! 

It's Time For Sacrifice

If You Will To Receive

The Savior's Seal Of Approval! 

Sister, I Say To You, Today:

Done Deal! 

May The Lord In Mercy

By His Sweet Spirit

All Truth ... Present Truth

Lovingly Reveal! 

I Like Seals! 

Everything Is Marked Official 

Is Real, And Is Mine! 

I Like How You Think! 

Let's Pray For The Promised Perfect Peace!

I Know That One:
Jesus Christ Is Our Peace
And He Gives Us His Perfect Peace
Which Is Not As The World Gives!

You Know What!?!

What!?!

I Really Believe That You Are Going To Be All Right 
That You're Going To Make It ...!

... In Jesus Christ's Holy Name!

AMEN!!!

Follower Of Christ!

Ephesians 5:1-3King James Version (KJV)

5 Be ye therefore followers of God, as dear children;

2 And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling savour.

3 But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not be once named among you, as becometh saints;

I Am Not A Jesus Fanatic!
I Am Not A Jesus Freak!
I Am A Follower Of Jesus
AND
That Is Something About Which
I Do Not Need To Tweet!

It Is No Special Action!
It Is No Special Occasion!
It Is No Prize Event!
It Is A Statement Of Just Fact
AND
About Which
- God Always Willing -
I Shall Not Relent!

Fans And Freaks
Get Leased 
AND
Unleashed!
Followers Of Christ
Faithful
Walk Steady And Sure
AND
That, My Brother Sister
Is Something Quite Notable
For
All Committed
Obedient
Trusting
Worshiping
Enduring Followers
Will Follow Christ Jesus
- Rights Granted -
Right Through Heaven's Gate Door!

Any More Questions?!

No, No!

Are You Sure?!

 

PERSONAL PUZZLER: Living The Committed Christian Life

The Open Question:

What Would You Say To A Church Pastor
Who Is Proudly Gay
Who Speaks Proudly
Of What The He-God
Has Done
AND
Inspirationally
Of What The She-God Is Doing?

The American Gay Population Is Less Than 4%
Of The Total Population!
What Would You Say To A Heterosexual 
Bible-Thumping Pastor
Who Says That The Christian Church Would Die
Without The Gay Church Members/Musicians Who 
Presumptuously Live 
Unrepentantly
In Known Sin Before Almighty God?

How Would You Respond To The Charismatic Pastor
- With Immensely Convincing Oratorical Skills -
Who Says That
Loving, Living And Serving 
Are The Only Three Things
That A Modern Christian Is Required To Do?

What Of ...
Confession, Repentance, Obedience
Walking And Working In Faith?

What Of ... 
The Acquisition Of The Lord's
Meek And Gentle Spirit
Against Which There Is No Law?

What Of ...
The Aspiration Of Striving 
For To Achieve God's Glory?

What Of ...
The Renunciation Of Sin?

What Of ...
Living With The Hope
That Comes Of Faith That Works
Because Of Our Love Of The Lord Christ?

What About ...
Our Asking The Lord
For The Indwelling Of His Holy Spirit?

What About ... Denying Self?

What About ... 

• Temperate Living?
• Not Walking Wise In Our Own Eyes?
• Denying The Liar?
• Watching And Praying?
• Not Holding On To Temporal Things?
• Living To Send Up Riches To Glory?
• Asking The Lord To Cleanse Us Of All Unrighteousness?
• Wearing The Whole Armor Of God?
• Beatitude Living?
• Blessing God?

And ...

What About Thanking The Holy God 
For Our Blessings
Seen And Unseen
Known And Unknown
Unanticipated
Unappreciated
Unasked For
AND
Blessings Promised To Come?

Can We "Christians" Really Get All Of Our Lives
Into The Three Broad Categories Of:

Living

Loving

Serving

Without Following The Prescriptives Of The Living Word?

Remember:

If Something Does Not Have A Name
It Is Usually Rendered Unimportant!
AND
Just Saying Live, Love And Serve
Gives Us All The Opportunity 
To Forget To Remember
To Ignore
To Less Count
To Elevate
To Denigrate
To Gravitate
To Set Aside
To Glorify!

When You Know All That Is Required
You have No Excuse For Forgetfulness
Nor Disobedience!

Can A Committed Christian
Really Leave The Living Of His Life
To Man's Happenstance?

What Purpose Does Jesus Christ Serve 
In Your Life?

What Do YOU Say To All These Things?

The Apostle Paul Said:

Without The Law, I Would Not Know Sin.

I Say:

Without Our Closely Following
The Requirements For True Christian Living
We Will Fall For Any Thing
AND
Every Thing!

We Have Been Given A Blueprint
A Blueprint For Living Christ's Life
AND
If We Will Follow It Closely
We Will Survive Earth's Strife!

We Are To:

Read The Bible AND Pray
Watch
Work In Faith
Humble Ourselves
Deny The Adversary Every Which Way
Lift Up The Lord
Remove The Beam From Our Own Eyes
Get God's Eye Salve
Get God's Gold
Get God's White Linen
AND
Put Oil In Our Lamps
AND
Accept Provided Grace
Accept The Given Faith
AND
Accept Free Offer Of Salvation
Strive To Be Redeemed
AND
Leaning On Christ ... Endure The Struggle
AND
Let The Holy Spirit Lead!

We Are Also Called Upon To:

Entertain Strangers
Love The Lord
Love Our Brother As We Love Ourselves
Walk The Straight And Narrow Way
Let Our Heart Be Fertile Ground
Let Good Angels Influence Us To Do Good
Stand On The Rock Of Ages
Stand On The Promises Of God
Reach Out To Jesus
Let Jesus Hold Our Hand

AND ...
We Are Encouraged To:

Get Victory Over Sin Through Jesus
Go On The Narrow Road With Straight Walking
Use Soft Answers To Turn Away Wrath
Not Be A Fool
Be Wise Unto Salvation
Don't Indulge A Double Mind
AND
Live For The Lord
For, In This, Is Great Reward!

The Great Question
That Needs The Simple Answer
From A Spirit-Lead Conscience
Is

Does Just Living

Loving

And

Serving

- A Doctrine Of Fallen Man -

Serve The Purpose

In Your Call To Jesus Christ

- The Savior God -

Who Died

To Save You?
