PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY: The Buck Stops Here!?!

Many Of Us Are In For A Rude Awakening 

When We Appear Before The Judgment Seat Of Jesus Christ 

Because 

Our Usual Pass The Buck, Blame Someone Else

Will Have Exhausted Its Usefulness 

And 

We Will Be On The Hook For The Unpaid, Long-Overdue Bill Of 

Take Personal Responsibility! 

It Is Safe To Say That 

Lucifer Blamed The Father For His Cockups 

Because 

The Father Refused To Let Him Have 

What The Father Gave To His Son! 

End Result: 

Condemnation And Damnation! 

Adam Blamed Almighty God For Giving Him A Defective Wife 

And 

For His Own Willful Disobedience! 

Eve Blamed The Serpent For Deceiving Her Into Wanting More 

When She Already Had Everything That She Needed! 

End Result: 

Cursed, Cast Out

Pain, Hard Labor

Suffering

And 

Death 

Plus

Jesus Christ Having To Die To Save The Race! 

Beloved, 

We Are No Longer Children! 

We Have Knowledge Of The Experiences Of Others 

Which Should Counsel Us To Be Wise: 

Satan Can't Make Us Do Anything! 

As Humans, We All Do What Our Flesh Desires! 

As Committed Christians

We Should All Be Doing What The Lord Wills! 

Mistakes Happen

So Please Choose To Recognize The Error

Repent Of The Sin

Accept Loving Correction

And 

Align Your Desires With The Father's Will! 

Taking Responsibility For Your Own Actions

Minus The Arrogant Attitude

Plus The Humble Spirit 

Equals A Definite Growth In Grace On The Road To Glory! 

"I Was Wrong, And I Beg Your Pardon!" 

Yields Fruit Most Pleasant To Enjoy! 

Dare And Choose To Do Right 

And 

To Glory Rise To Live With Eternal Light 

In The Land Of No Night! 

Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: What Are You Doing!?!

Consider That We Are Not Condemned For What We Have Done 

But For What ... Being Necessary

We Have Free-Will-Chosen Not To Do! 

Walking In Darkness

Is

A Choice! 

Consider That We Are Not Condemned For Loving Lies 

But For Willfully Choosing To Hate The Truth! 

Beloved, 

Would You Really Want To Be Known As Someone 

Who Tenderly Loves Satan 

And 

Truly Hates The Lord Christ 

Who Created, Maintains, Sustains, Saves 

And

Redeems You From Sin, Death, The Grave And Hell!?! 

Is Indulging Your Costly Pet Sin 

Worth More To You Than Your Own Soul's Free Salvation!?! 

Is Holding On To Your Dark, Bitter, Hurtful, Yesterdays 

Worth More To You 

Than Having Almighty God's Promised Sweet Eternity Of Peace!?! 

Are You Refusing To Hold Love 

Because 

You Are Embracing Hatred!?! 

Are You Feeling Sorry For Yourself 

Instead Of Being Happy That 

Jesus Christ The Kind King Knows Your Name 

And 

Fills Your Needs!?! 

Think! 

You Can't Change Yesterday By Hating Today 

But 

You Can Influence Your Hoped-For Tomorrow 

By What You Do Today! 

The Sacred Gift Of Present Time 

Is-

Made For Change 

So Please Let Jesus Christ 

- By The Holy Spirit Of Truth -

Make All Your Wrong Things Right

By Your Willingness To Be Fed

To Be Taught

To Be Corrected

And

To Be Protected From Self, Sin And Satan! 

Let Go Of Sinful Self

And

Self-Serving Self-Satisfaction

And 

Let Almighty God Good, Gracious, Giving 

And 

Forgiving

Rid You Of What Will Not ... What Cannot

Profit You On The Great Judgment Day! 

Where There Is Life, There Is Hope!

I Commend You To The Living Holy Faithful God Of Grace!

Walk In The Light

Which Leads To Eternal Life!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: "Living" Behind Almighty God's Back!?!

There's An Old Expression About 

Living So Far From Town-Life

- From All The "Action"  - 

As To Be Living Behind Almighty God's Back! 

In Truth, Brethren

We Don't Ever Want To Reside In That Neighborhood 

Because 

It Is A Place Of Consuming Contempt

The Place Where Almighty God

The Lord Of Life 

- The Judge Of All Flesh - 

Puts Those Things Not Worthy Of His Remembrance

Namely Our Confessed 

And 

Humbly Repented Sins! 

Beloved, 

If You Are Living Behind The All-Knowing God's Back

It Means That Your Known Sin 

Is 

In His Face 

Which Means That Your Obvious Sin 

Is 

Decidedly Chargeable To Your Personal Account! 

In That Vicinity Of Residence ... Of Operation 

You're Boldly Declaring That 

Jesus Christ The Savior ... The Redeemer ... The Forever Friend

Didn't Personally Die For You ... The Condemned Sinner

And

You ... Being False-God-Level Rich

Are Indulging In Own-Sin Self-Pay: 

You've Rejected Free And Available Grace 

And 

The Dearly-Purchased Sure And Secure

Free-To-All Aka Whosoever Will Salvation! 

Be Wise Unto Salvation ... 

Get Smart! 

Reject  Pride! 

Raze The Foundation Of Your Foolish-Man-Built House 

And

Build Yourself A Sure House 

In The Light Of The Shining Face Of The Eternal God 

Who Is Willing To Be Gracious Unto You 

And 

Give You A Piece Of His Personal Peace 

As A Repentant Sinner Of The Contrite-Heart Clan 

Called Committed Christian Clothed In Christ! 

Sin ... A Stain

Is 

A Reproach: 

Righteousness Exalts! 

Live In The Glorious Light Of Life: 

Wear Righteous-Man White In Almighty God's Holy Sight! 

Blessings Immeasurable

Abundantly Await

The Cleaned And Redeemed

Faithful Saints

Of

God And Christ!

Child Of God OR Spawn Of Satan!?!

Our Life Of Holiness 

Is 

Unto The Lord ... Not Man

And Is Not

Just The Conversation 

- As In Words Uttered To Each Other - 

But Also 

The Actual Lifestyles That We Lead! 

Is Your Life Such That 

In The Day Of Settling Personal Life-Lived Accounts 

The Lord Of Life Will Say To You ... In Commendation

"Well Done, Good And Faithful Servant! 

Enter In To The Joy Of Your Lord!" 

Or

Will He Say ... In Condemnation

"Depart From Me!

I Never Knew You!?!"

Is Your Life An Act!?! 

Do Your Actions Gratefully Say "Child Of God" 

Or 

Do They Shamelessly Say "Spawn Of Satan!?!" 

Are You Walking In Worshipful Obedience 

To The Will Of God 

Or

Wandering Waywardly 

For The Convenience Of Your Lustful Flesh!?! 

Beloved, 

There Are No Cowards 

In The Kingdom Of The Forever-Blessed 

So Making The Hard Decisions 

To BeAble To Live The Sanctified Life

Aka The Set-Apart For Holy Use Life 

Aka Living For Jesus According To His Holy Word 

And Not

According To What Feels And Looks Good 

Or 

Causes You To Get Ungodly Gain 

And

Get In Good With The Enemies Of God, Truth And Right-Living 

Is

Supremely Paramount! 

Judgment Begins At The House Of God: 

Judgment Begins With Us! 

Are You Getting Ready!?! 

Are You Being Faithful By Grace For Mercy 

Or

Faithless To Get Justice

To Experience The Frowning Judge's Undiluted Wrath!?! 

Remember, Remember 

Don't Ever Forget ... 

Peace With Almighty God Profits

And 

Holiness To Almighty God Pays! 

Fervently Think On These Things!

Peace

Is

The River Glorious!

Moths And Cockroaches

Look In The Mirror!
    Look At Your Self!
        Look At Your Life!
Now I Ask You Quite Plain: 

Who Are You!?!

Who Are You Planning To Be!?!

Is Your Practice

Following The Master's Plan!?!

Are You A Child Of The Day!?!

Who Will You Be

On The Day That Has No Night!?!

When The Lord Christ Shall Come
There Will Only Be Two Types Of Persons On This Planet: 
Condemned Unbelieving Cockroaches 
And
Commended Believing Moths! 

Jesus Christ Is The Light Of Life
The Light Of The World 
And
The Enduring Faithful
The Saints Of God And Christ 
- The Moths Who Love And Gravitate Towards Light -
Will Ascend To His Glorious Side! 

By Contrast
Those Willing Sinners Who, Like Cockroaches, Despise Light
And 
Especially Adore The Darkness 
Because 
The Darkness Covers Up Their Nefarious Deeds
Will Run Away From The Lord To The Rocks And Hills 
Pleading For Shelter 
To Hide Them From His Disclosing-Deeds Light: 
It Ain't Gonna Work! 

Beloved, 

We Must Be Born Again! 
We Must Put Away  All 
Habits
Inclination
Deeds
Desires
Entanglements
And 
Nocturnal Practices 
That Shall Surely Cause The Great King To Say To Us:

"Depart From Me! 

I Never Knew You!" 

Beloved, 

Be Sure Of This One Thing: 
What Is Done In The Darkness Will Come To Light! 

All Hidden Sins Will Be Found Out
So, Please, I Beseech Us All
Stop Rubbing Cockroach Legs In The Darkness 
And
Choose To Flutter A Moth's Wings In The Light Of Jesus Christ 
Who Is Soon Coming For His Faithful Children! 

No Jesus: No Peace!

Know Jesus: Know Peace!

PRAYER: Father, I Desire To Be Home ... With You!

I Believe Your Word

And No Matter What The World Says, Dear Father

I Need You In My Life! 

I See And Understand My Need 

And Recognize And Accept That 

I Cannot Fight The Battle Against Sin And Self Alone 

And Expect To Survive The Carnal Strife! 

I Am A Child Needing The Guidance Of 
My Wise And Loving Father! 

I Am A Student In The School Of Jesus 
Eager To Learn The Only Holy Way! 

I Am A Worker In The House Of My Lord 
Needing Direction

Satisfied To Labor For Eternal Pay 

And Sure That What You Say 
Will Never Cause Me From Grace And Goodness To Stray! 

Without You, Lord

I Am Lost, Lonely, Alone

Twice Dead

Condemned And Damned 

And So, Dear Father

I Choose To Accept Your Gifts Of Love, Life

Grace, Goodness

Salvation, Security

Faith, Food

And The Blessings Of Truth And Godly Trust! 

Teach Me, Feed Me, Guide Me

Correct And Comfort Me

And Lead Me Gently, Safely And Securely To Pastures Green 

Where Still Waters Flow! 

In Jesus Christ's Holy Name

I Pray And Humbly Plead 

Because The Desire Of My Heart Is For Home

Forever

On The Golden Shore: 

I Find My Rest In You! 

AMEN!

VANITY: Covetousness

The Heart Devoid Of The Love Of God

And
Despising The Word Of Truth

Wants What It Wants

When It Wants It

And

All Proprieties Be Damned! 
Word On The Street:

I Breathe Therefore I AM!

Gimme: I Want ... It!

Thou Shalt Not Covet Your Neighbor's Possessions
Is 
The Tenth Commandment 
And 
The Lord Christ Who Gave It 
- To Show Us How To Operate 
In Our Relations With Our Fellowman -
Promises Never To Leave Us ... Or Forsake Us! 
The Lord Always Provides!

Covetousness Doubts The Sovereign Will 
And 
The Holy Word Of Almighty God 
And 
Is Idolatry ... False Worship
And 
No Covetous Person Shall Enter The Holy City! 

Beloved,
Let's Remember That Covetousness 
Is 
Of Satan ...  The Piercing Serpent
Who In His Former Life As Lucifer ... The Light Bearer
Started War In Heaven 
By Coveting The Position 
And 
The Worship Of The Son Of God! 

Covet Once, Covet Always ...

Satan Brought Death To Us All 
By Beguiling, Fooling, Eve 
Into Coveting  The Wisdom Of God
To Be As God
- The Pride Of Life -
Through The Lust Of Her Eyes
And 
Her Taste Buds ... The Lust Of Her Flesh! 

A Condemned Angel

Doesn't Care Whom He Causes

To Be Likewise Condemned!

Almighty God Isn't A Lying Man ...

What The Lord Promises To Provide For Us 
Is 
Plainly Enumerated And Designated
So Let Us Practice Gratitude And Contentment
And 
Be At Peace With The God Of Mercy, Love And Grace
And 
With Every Man!

Don't Vex Your Spirit

Over The Useless Vanity!

Brethren, Beloved

Vanity 

Is 

A Broken Person 

Looking In A Circus Mirror 

Which Faithfully Shows Every Perspective 

Except The Truth! 

When We Look At Life Through The Lens Of Truth

- The Gospel Of Grace - 

All Our Murmurings

And 

All Our Vexations ... Cease 

And 

We Are In Humble Peace 
With Our Gracious, Giving, Blessing, Holy God! 

Consider This, Therefore
And
Be Wise Unto Your Own Soul's Salvation:
There Ain't No Vain Soul 

Who Knows What It Is To Be Humble! 

Meekness Aka Humility

Is A Fruit Of The Holy Spirit:

Choose To Believe

The Eternal Word Of

The Holy God Faithful!

Remember:

You're Worth More Than A Sparrow

And

You Don't Need To Own The Supermarket

To Be Able To Eat Food

And

You Ain't God

So You Don't Need Worship!

EMULATION: Zealous And Jealous For Whom!?!

The Question Is A Vitally Important One:

Whom Should I, A Committed Christian, Please!?!

What Are The Options!?!

The Options ... My Only Options Are

Please Me Aka Please My Self, My Flesh

Or 
Serve The Spirit Of The Eternal God

By Whom We Are Sealed Against The Great Day!

Wow!

I Don't Envy You!

You Don't Envy Me!?! 

Brother, That's Truly Rich!

I Don't Envy You!

Me!?!

Yup, Buddy!

You've Got Yourself The Same Options

And 

So Does Every Other Living Soul On This Earth!

Oh, Dear! 

But, How!?!

Why!?!

All People That On Earth Do Dwell

Fall Into Two Categories

Which Shall Be The Only Two Classes Of Persons

Who Shall Be ... And Have Been 
On The Earth Since The Beginning Of Time:

• Those For Jesus Christ The Lord
•      Those For Satan The God-Fraud
•      Those Who Elevate Self
• Those Who Elevate The Savior 
• Those Who Live In Heavenly Light
•      Those Who Walk In Damnation's Darkness 
• Those Who Love Truth
•      Those Who Love And Tell Lies
• Those Living With The Faith Of Jesus
•      Those Living With The Doubt Of The Devil
• Those Who Shall Be Saved From Sin
•      Those Who Will Be Lost In Sin
• Those Who Will Be Eternally Blessed And
•      Those Who Will Be Eternally Damned

To Put It Plainly

There Will No Switzerland-Class

No Neutral Class When Christ Comes!

Everybody Will Walk Under Their Own 
Personally-Selected And Approved Banner

And

They Will Not Be Able To Change Their Minds

For Their Choices Will Be Fixed And Final

And

They Are Sealed In Their Decision

In The Books Of Heaven!

This Is Serious Business!

You Telling Me!

The Decisions We Make Today

May Be Our Final Decisions

So I Suggest To Us All
Confessing And Repenting Of All Known Sin
And

Denying Self, Sin And Satan

And

Accepting The Gift Of Almighty God

- The Life Of Christ -

So That In The Day Of Reckoning 

- The Day Of Accounts -

We Will Not Be With The Rabid, Hardened
Unrepentant, Bold Sinners Forever Lost!

We Must Count The Cost!

If This Is Such A Big Deal

Why, Then, Are All The "Experts"

Even The Priests And Pastors

The "Wellness" Experts

Pushing The Idea ... The Ideal

That Self Must Not Be Denied

That Self Must Be Nurtured!?!

Oh, Let Me Count The Ways:

• Lie Of The Devil 
• Filthy Lucre 
• Power
• Position 
• Prestige
• Greed
• Lust

And

This Is All So That Satan 

The Father Of Lies

The Arch-Deceiver

That Murderer Most Foul

Will Be Able To Raise Up An Army Against The Lord

Even As He Throws It In The Lord's Face

That We Don't Love Him

And

That His Immeasurable Sacrifice For Each One

And 
All Of Us

Was Totally For Nothing!

Satan Hates The Power Of The Christ 
Who Was On Calvary's Cruel Cross

And

He Hates That There Are Those Of Us ... Faithful 

Who Willingly Choose To Deny Our Selves

For The Lord Christ Who Denied Himself

So That We Might Live Again 
Immortalized, Glorified, Incorruptible
And

Return To The Father's House

As In Go Home To Be With Our Heavenly Father 

Who Really Desires 
Our Purchased-And-Adopted-As-Children 
Personal Presence There!

Brethren,

Almighty God Loves
And

Condemned Satan Hates 

And

Redeemed Man Must Choose His Very Own Fate!

We Either Love The Holy God Who Does Create

Or Follow Satan, The Devil
Who Well And Truly Decimates!

Please Recognize That There Is A Difference

Between Loving God And Following Satan!

Man Follows Satan Because Of Sinful Self

And A Carrot On A Stick!

If We Truly Love The Lord

We Will Deny Self And Abhor Sin

And 

We Will Follow Him Faithfully

With Or Without Reward!

Yup!

I'd Say You Got It Right!

We Need To Be Zealous For Salvation

And Jealous For The Name Of The Eternal God! 

Don't Forget, Brother

Zealous And Jealous Also Work For Satan

Who Desires To Be Worshipped As The Holy God!

What's Our Bottom Line, Then!?! 

Read, Search, Dig

Pray, Plead

Work, Watch

Endure

Be Obedient 

Be Faithful

Be True
And

Never Give Up
Because

Jesus Christ Is Blessing, Nurturing

Keeping

And

Sanctifying 

Those Who Are To Him True! 

With All That We Have Said

My Decision

My Only Option
Is

To Serve The Holy Spirit Of Truth! 

Indeed! 

Heaven Awaits Christ's Faithful
And I ... By His Grace

Intend To Be Among Them! 

I'm With You ... With Jesus! 

AMEN!!! 

I Charge Us All, Brethren:

Do Not Be Too Wise 

To Believe The Living Word Of The Eternal God!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Kindred Foes!?!

Malice And Patience
Were Kindred Foes!
Malice And Patience
Each Had In The Grave
One Foot And Four Toes!
One Consented Willingly!
One Was There Because Of Abuse
And
Both Of These Kinsmen Had
Something Vitally Important To Lose!

I Guess I Should Back Up
And
Tell You From The Start
How The Grave Was Dug
And
Who Was The Happy Minnow
And
Who Was The Hungry Whale-Shark!

Patience Was Peaceful!
Malice Was Not!
Patience Was A Saint Of Almighty God
And
Malice Was A Presumptuous Miscreant
Wittingly Working For Prideful King Fraud
Who Was Not Content With His "Pay-Grade"
And, Instead
Wanted What Belonged To The Son Of Almighty God!
King Fraud Even Wanted To Be Almighty God!

King Fraud Used To Be Lucifer
The Covering Cherub
That Angel Shining Bright
Who Was Closest To The Father God
After 
His Only Begotten Son
The Lord Jesus Christ!

He Became Prideful!
He Fell In Love With His Gorgeous Self
And
He Chose Not To Be Corrected Or Chastised!
He Preferred To Be A Ruler In Hell
Than To Be A Prized Servant In Heaven
So He Was Cast Out Of Heaven
With All Those Who Thought As He
And
In This Our Home Land
He Has Agents Like Malice
Creating Havok For Everbody!

Malice Considered Patience
A Blot
A Troubler
A Blight On His Prosperity
Because
Patience Took Everything In Stride
Was Willing To Watch Paint Dry
Is 
A Man Of His Word
And
A Faithful Servant Of The Lord Of Life
And
A Fervent Student Of The Good Book
And
For Daring To Being Heavenly-Minded
He Inspired King Fraud's Ire
And
Received Of His Minions
Spiteful Hateful Cruel Evil Intentions
And
Actions
And 
Very Malicious Looks!

For Malice

Wait Was Weight On The Scale!
Hope Was The Maid Who Brought Aloo Pies!
Truth Was Subjective
And
Deceptions Were Just Plain Pretty Sweet Lies
And
For Him
Salvation 
And 
The Holy Savior
Were Merely Pies In The Sky!

Heaven 
Is 
Perfection To Patience!
To Malice, Perfection Is Not!

The Lord Christ 
Is 
The Loving, Kind Master Of Patience
But
The Devil
And
The Works Of The Devil
- Old Satan -
King Fraud
Cause Malice's Lust-Filled Eyes
Most Happy Tears To Cry!
He Does The Holy Spirit Of Truth
Avidly, Avidly, Defy
And
Salvation ... Free
He Cravenly Denies!

The Road Divided ...

It Is For This Statement, Though
That Malice Thoroughly Hates Patience:

The Law Of God

Is 

A Wall Around The People Of God

But

It Is Being Breached

By Those In The Employ Of King Fraud

Who Use Every Method Or Means Available

To Break Down

Climb Over Or Dig Under

The Foundation Of Truth!

Be Not False-Hearted!

Be Not Lackadaisical Over Faith!

Be Not Vain!

Almighty God Is The Builder!

Satan, King Fraud

Is

The One Profane

And 

All Who Him Follow

- Causing The Lord Christ

New Pain And Shame -

Shall Not Escape Condemnation

Nor Damnation's Burning Flame!

The War Was On!

Chastisement ... To Monsieur Malice
Is 
Not Considered
The Spice Of Life!

Malice Gives!
Malice Cannot Take!

Patience Is Looking Up To Go Up!
Malice Is Tearing Down And Going Down!

I Tell You The Lord's Truth ...

Malice Is Not A Mensch!
His Backbone Is A Fake!

Resist That Work Of The Devil!
He Will Flee From You!
Trust The Lord Christ!
He Died The Cruel Death
To Forever Save Me And You!

Patience Is A Virtue
A Fruit Of The Spirit Of Almighty God!
Malice Is Likewise A Virtue
But
That "Virtue" ... Poisonous
Is 
From That Snake, Satan
The Known Fake
The Wannabe God!

If You Dance With Malice
You'll Never See Inside Heaven
The Known Safe Sheep Fold!
In Patience
With Patience
By Patience
Possess You, Your Soul!
Trust The Lord Jesus!
Run The Race For Tried Gold!
