VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Falling In The Ditch!

Are Your Counselors Living By The Holy Faith!?! 

One Of The Most Dangerous Pieces Of Moral Theater That 

Is Being Practiced Today 

Is 

Going Online Aka The New Public Square 

And 

Asking Hundreds Of Thousands

Even Millions Of People

 To Decide If The Step You Have Taken 

Is 

The Step That You Should Have Taken

And 

To Confirm You In Some Act Of Behavior 

Which Common-Sense 

And 

Biblical Morality 

Should Plainly Say To The Right-Thinking Soul That 

This Is Either Right To Walk In 

Or

Wrong And To Be Avoided! 

Beloved, 

On Judgment Day 

The Lord Jesus, The Judge Of All Flesh

Will Not Ask You 

If 

You Did All According To The Public-Majority

Which We Already Know 

Is 

Always Wrong! 

Never Follow The Multitude To Do Evil! 

Follow The "Thus Saith The Lord!" 

Let Us Choose To Pray 

And 

Ask The Lord God Almighty For Wisdom 

And

Stop Being Like The Doctors Of The Law And The Pharisees 

Who Wanted The Road To Fit Their Feet 

Instead Of Their Feet Following The Path Clearly Marked! 

The Lord Jesus Christ Saves Individuals: 

He Gave To Each Of Us A Body

A Brain

And 

His Breath Of Life! 

There Is No Borg Collective

No Hive Mind

No Group Think! 

There Is One Person

And 

His Or Her Relationship With The Creator-God 

Who Invites Us To Reason With Him! 

The Blind Leading The Blind 

Makes For A Sold-Out Performance Of 

"Falling In The Ditch!" 

Please Follow Jesus Christ The Lord 

And Not 

Satan The God-Fraud! 

The Holy Spirit Is Still Teaching: 

Join The Class! 

Peace!

Cry Aloud ... And Say "NO!" To Sin And Folly!

Problems!?! 

Use Common-Sense! 

Weigh The Pros And Cons! 

Exercise Caution! 

Repair To Prayer! 

Lift Up The Lord! 

Beloved, 

According To The Vaunted Murphy's Law

Anything That Can Go Wrong Will Go Wrong! 

According To The Word Of Truth

We Are Not To Lean Aka Rely On Our Own Understanding 

But 

We Are To Boldly Go To The Throne Of Grace 

Where People Of Faith And Prayer 

Are Encouraged To Appear To Receive Help 

Be It For Healing

Protection, Provision

Comfort And Care

Direction, Correction

And

Encouragement! 

Dear Ones, 

The First Act Of Will That A Little Child Exercises 

And 

Utilizes With Understanding 

Is 

Saying "No!"  

And 

There Is Much That We May Learn From This Act! 

The World And His Brother 

Seem To Always Encourage Us 

To Do The Worst Possible Things 

And 

Act In The Most Foolish Ways! 

Think Of Job's Wife Encouraging Him 

To Cast Away His Publicly-Known Integrity 

And 

"Curse God And Die!" 

Knowing To Say "No!" 

And 

Boldly Saying "No!" To Folly And Sin, Self, And Satan 

Is 

The Gift Of God

And

Our Saving Grace! 

Let Us Remember That We Are In Profit 

When Murphy's Law Unfailingly Sends Us 

Into The Presence Of Our Savior Jesus 

Who Is Lord And God Of All: 

Murphy's Law Is Subject To The Lord's Sovereign Will! 

Babies Cry For Help: 

Christians Cry For Help By Praying! 

In All Things, Please Say 

"Yes, Lord! Thy Will Be Done!" 

And 

"No!" To Beelzebub Aka Satan 

And 

His Machinations 

Because 

Over You, He Wants To Gloat! 

Again, Beloved, 

"No!" Is A Complete Answer: 

Use It Right ... And With Might

And 

Live In Eternal Light! 

Earnestly, Fervently, Pray ... And Press On! 

Peace!

HAPPY SABBATH + Truth AND Faith ... Irretrievably Intertwined!

When You Hear The Truth

And 

Understand What The Truth Means To And For You

If 

There Is In Any Honesty Within Your Heart

You Have No Choice But To Act Judiciously 

Aka With Common-Sense! 

Truth Sets All Sinners Free 

But 

The Only Way To Prove The Truth 

Is 

To Step Out In The Daily-Received Gift Of 

Faith For The Day! 

Beloved, 

Faith And Truth ... Truth And Faith

Are Inextricably Intertwined 

And 

One Without The Other 

Will Not Lead To The Glorious Life Sublime! 

Please Repeat With Nauseating Frequency: 

"There Is No Self In Faith And Truth 

Because

Self Is A Liar 

And

Doubt Is Self's Wisdom Tooth!" 

True Wisdom 

Is 

A Gift From The Lord Of Life 

And

That Wisdom Requires Us 

To Separate Ourselves From Sin, Self

And 

Debilitating, Decimating, Strife! 

Let Us Endeavor Today 

To Give Our Lord Jesus All The Glory 

For His Saving Grace 

And 

Let Us Dare To Work Our Faith 

As We Embrace His Truth 

So That We Will Be Blessed And Saved 

As We Walk With Him 

On The Living, Holy, Strait, Straight Way! 

Truth Lives In Glory: 

Faith Gets You Safely There! 

Peace!

Follow Faith ... Not Foolishness!

 

The Same Three "Ifs" 

With Which Satan Tempted Our Lord Jesus 

To Sin Against Knowledge 

And

Common-Sense

We Must Boldly Meet 

And

Decidedly Overcome 

If

We Are To Enter The Eternal City By Right: 

IF You Are A Child Of God

Do Something To Satisfy Your Stomach!

 

IF You Are Presumptuous

Tempt Your Maker To Save You 

From Your Own Folly ... Your Own Lawlessness

And 

IF You

- A Child Of The All-Knowing

All-Seeing

Ever-Present God -

Are Greedy

For What Your Father Has Not Given To You

Indulge In False Aka Idol Worship To Get It Now

Because

You Want It Now

And

Will Not Be Denied By Anyone! 

Beloved, 

Wearing A Beautiful Dress-Coat 

Lined With Silk Soaked In Poison 

Will Kill You Just As Dead 

As A Straight Shot Of Poison! 

Satan ... Who Will Appear To You As An Angel Of Light

Is 

Still A Poisonous Serpent

A Roaring, Devouring Lion

The Lord Of Dung

The Father Of Lies 

And

A Murderer Who Venomously Hates You! 

Dare To Walk Within The Embracing, Eternal, Light Of 

The Lord Of Life

The King Of Love

Who Sacrificially Loves You Personally ... Intimately! 

Please, I Beseech Us All

Don't Seek To Scratch Every Itch 

Aka Don't Seek To Satisfy Ever Urge You Have 

Because 

Therein Is Sure Destruction, Death 

And 

Damnation! 

Follow Faith Not Foolishness! 

"Thus Saith The Lord!" 

Is 

Food Which Leads The Eater To A Fabulous Future! 

Enjoy The Feast That Fills And Frees: 

Don't Be Covetous! 

Peace!

No Stuff Can Enter The City Of Almighty God!

It is With A Sincere Heart That 

I Pray That Each One Of Us 

Comes To Truly Realize How Special

- How Unique - 

We Are To The Living God! 

There Is No One Else On This Earth

 Who Is As You Are! 

The Gifts That The Lord Has For You, Personally

He Will Not Give To Another Soul 

Even If You Were To Deny Him 

And 

Reject His Gifts Of Love! 

If You Choose To Refuse To Accept 

Jesus Christ's Gift To You Of His Free Salvation 

And 

By So Doing Never Reach The Eternal City

Your Absence Will Be Keenly Felt 

Because 

No One Else Can Take Your Place! 

Lot's Wife ... Against Warning ... And Common-Sense

Looked Back Both In Her Heart And Physically

And 

Lost The Things She Lusted For 

And 

Her Precious Life And Promised Future: 

Jesus Christ Will Be Her Judge

And Not 

Her Welcoming King

Because 

Her Stuff Was Worth More To Her Than Her Life! 

Beloved, 

Always Remember That

You Need A Life To Live To Be Able To Get Stuff 

But

Having A Boatload Of Stuff 

Will Never Get You Eternal Life! 

Jesus Christ Desires Your Personal Presence 

In His Holy House 

And 

He Sacrificed Himself To Make That Possible! 

Please Do Not Neglect So Great A Salvation: 

There Is No Escaping The Day Of Judgment! 

Please Choose Eternal Life 

And 

Live Now As One Greatly Loved 

And 

Abundantly Blessed By Our Almighty God! 

Choose To Remember That Your Father 

Is 

The King Of Love 

And 

Never, Ever, Forget That

You ... Individually ... Are In His Heart 

And 

Your Name Is Permanently

Perfectly Engraved 

In Our Dear Savior's Hand! 

Please Pursue Peace With The Lord Most High!

TLC FOR THE LORD CHRIST: Dare To Care!

We All Love To Talk About Giving And Getting 

A Lil' TLC Aka Tender Loving Care: 

Our Giving Can Be A Bit On The "Iffy" Side! 

We Get Guaranteed Tender Loving Care In Spades

From Our Heavenly Father 

But

How Many Of Us Ever Consider That 

In Gratitude For Abundant Grace And Mercy 

And

The Blessings Of Provision, Protection And Perfect Peace 

And

Great Patience When We Slip And Walk Contrary To Truth

Faith And Common-Sense

We Ought To Bless Our Dear Savior 

With A Lil' TLC Aka Trust, Loyalty And Caring 

Just Because We Love And Cherish Him 

And

Are Desirous Of Pleasing Him In All That We Say And Do 

And

Think And Display!?! 

Beloved, 

Talk Is Cheap: 

Action Takes Effort! 

For Us To Get All Of The Promised Blessings Of Our Dear Lord

We Must Express Belief! 

For Us To Truly Receive The Benefits 

From Our Gifting The Lord With Our Trust, Loyalty And Caring

We Must Follow Him Where He Leads

Do As He Says

Pray Always 

And

Depart From The Cherished Pet Sins That 

Render Us Self-Made Slaves! 

Brethren, Beloved 

Dare To Care: 

Go All In For And With Jesus! 

Trusting

Being Loyal To 

And

Caring About The Things Of Almighty God 

Is

Applying Tender Loving Care 

     Our Own Hands 

          To Our Own Soul! 

Think About It! 

Peace

Is

The River Glorious!

When "Dust-Bunnies" Get Bold!?!

Stop Misapplying The Word Of God!
Stop Being A Soldier For Satan The God-Fraud!
Stop Looking Inward!
The Inside Of Self Is Not Cute!
Look Unto Christ Jesus
Our Savior, Lord And Awesome God
And
The Adversary's Challenges Boldly, Coldly, Refute!

Bold Lee Self-Sufficient
Was Suffering
- According To Everybody Else And 'e Brother -
From Wild Self-Confidence
And
It Was Making Him Behave Like 

The Southern End Of A North-Bound Donkey!

It Was Not A Good Sight To Behold
In The Worldly Wise
And
It Was Truly Shameful To See This In A Professed Christian!

His Not-Lauded-In-The-Good-Book Behavior
Was Causing Ripples
And
The Sound-Bites Were Reverberating
In A Noxious Supply
To The Point Where It Was Causing
Even The Previously Stable To Stumble!

Badda Bing And Fadda Boom
Had Gotten So Hung Up On Bold Lee Self-Sufficient's 

Stretched-Out Self-Confidence That

Like A Choreography
They Had Both Led Common-Sense Unto A Fumble
And
Lo, And Behold
All Two Both Of Them
Had Taken A Tumble!

They Went Down Haaard!

He Who Is Self-Confident 

In His Own Self-Sufficiency

Has Himself

- A Fool -

For His Own God!

Foolishness Ain't No Kinda Sense ...

Fools Always Got Maybe Kinda
Sorta Probably Friends
Who Are Always On The Look-Out For An Easy Thrill!
A Cheap Laugh

And

Bold Lee Was One Such
Who Talked About The Lord
But
Always Denied His Power! 

Everybody Who Was His "Friend"

Was Waiting, Waiting ... And Watching

For ... The Fall!

Bold Lee Self-Sufficient Felt That He Personally Knew

What Was Best For Himself
And
Saw No Reason To Permit The Absentee Landlord
- He Was Very Disrespectful -
To Dictate His Pace
When He, Himself, Was On Ground Zero! 

He Constantly Behaved Like
And 

Told All Who Would Hear Him
That He Was His Own Hero!

Do You Know How To Spell Zero!?!

Boldly Self-Sufficient!

All Good Things Come To An End ...

Inevitably,
One Blessed Day
- If You're Alive The Day Is Blessed -
Bold Lee Went Too Far
And Stepped In It!

Wha' Sweet'n Goat Mout'

Does Bu'n 'e 'n 'e Tail!

Brethren,

You Can't Tempt The Almighty God
Twist An Uncaged Tiger's Tail
Knock An In-Residence Hornets Nest
Walk Nonchalantly Through Highway Traffic
And
Dare The Devil To Damn You
And
Actually Believe That Just Because
You Know The Words
Pay The Tithe
Sing The Songs
Give Alms
And
Visit The Sick
That The Lord Will Welcome You
Succor You In Your Sin Of Presumption
And
- Being Hard-Up For A Servant

A Follower, A Child - 

Save You From Your Self
And

Your Own Self-Manufactured Disaster!

Think Again!

Idiocy Does Not Become 

A Converted-To-Christ Christian:

There Are No Fools Going To Heaven!

Fact Check ...

Self-Confident, Self-Sufficient Lucifer
Started War In Heaven!
Self-Confident Satan Unleased Sin On The Earth!
Self-Confident Peter Denied Christ!
Self-Confident Judas Betrayed Christ!

Self-Confident Satan Killed The Lord Christ
And
We All Surely Know 

How That Worked Out For That Prince Of Darkness!

Since Self-Sufficient Self-Confidence
Did Not Work For The One Who Was Fourth
In The Chain Of Command In Heaven
I Really Can't Figure Out 

Why It Would Work For A Dust-Bunny Called Fallen Man!?!
Can You!?!

Think Carefully ...

Plainly Put

A Self-Sufficient, Self-Confident Christian

Is

A Bold Sinner

Because

Self Is A Sinner

And

No Sinner Shall Enter The Gates Of

The Living God's Eternal Home!

Self-Sufficient, Self-Confident Souls

Have No Need For A Savior

Their Known Sins To Bear

So

Let's Look At Ourselves

And

Once And For All Time Decide

Who Truly Cares For And Carries Us

And

Who It Is That We Should Hold In Godly Fear!

Take Your Place

And

Humble Yourself!

The Living God

Will Not His Throne

- Nor His Glory -

Share

And

You're Not Big Enough

To Make Him Do It!
