The Sacrifice Of Fools: SPEECH!?! + PRAYER: Father, Help Me To Season My Words With Salt!

In Tiny Town Lived Red Rag!
His Best Friend Was Below D. Nose
Whose Partner Was Above D. Chin
And Being Ever Always In Cahoots
Around The Town ... They Shared Bare Blows!

People Just Couldn't Seem To Figure Out
That Above D. Chin And Below D. Nose
Were Partners In Red Rag's Profits
And They Always Fell Into The Trap Set By
N. Discretion
That Windbag
That Loose-Lip Poppet!

One Day
There Was A Big Bruhaha
When Philbert And Peanut Exchanged Words
Words So Very Egregious That 
Sticks And Stones Were Not Necessary 
To Be Hurled!

You May Speak With Your Mouth!
You Don't Pay Taxes On It!

You Always Lay Down
The Sacrifice Of Fools!

You Are Nothing But Satan's Agent!

Now, You Know That You're Just Being Cruel!

Red Rag Was In His Element!
His Hinges Were Sweetly Oiled
And He Took Great Pride In His Eloquence
Until Impressionable Ears Felt ... Well
Soiled!

This State Of Affairs
Could Not Be Allowed To Be Continued
So, Masterful Midget
- That Giant Amongst Men -
Raised His Voice Roundly
Until All Were Subdued!

Brethren, Brethren!
Can't You See What You Are Doing!?!
The Sacrifice Of Fools
Is
All The Words, Useless
That You Are Continually Speaking!

King Solomon The Wise
Spoke Well Of You Combatants
Ever Willing To Have The Final Say
Not Recognizing That Your Eloquence
Is 
Simply Effluent

The Size Of Which Will Make Your Body Pay!

You Gain Nothing
By This Disgusting Display
And
You Give Old Evil Satan Numerous Cards

Perfect Against You Boldly To  Play!

Think ... Before You Speak!
Let Your Words Be Few!
Weight Each Word In The Balance
And
Let The Holy Spirit Of Truth
Lead You!

You Do Not Grow In Stature!
In Fact
Your Spent Words
Cut You, Personally, Down To Size
And
Show, Indicate, Indentify
For All Listening
That The Lord's Good Work In You
In Nothing Short Of A Bold Lie!

Out Of The Heart
The Mouth Speaks
So, How About Checking Your Heart Out
With The Holy God
And
Think, Think, Think
Before Your Give Utterance
And
Give A Goodly Treat To The Base Fraud!

There Are No Fools
In The Eternal God's Kingdom!
There Are No Unkind Persons!
There Is Not One Who Puts Self Before Others
And
None Who Raises Self Before The Living God!

If You Will Make The Lord's Glorious Heaven
Your Eternal Abode
You Must Keep A Civil Tongue In Your Head!
If Necessary
Close Your Mouth With A Thread Attached To Lead
And
Take Your Cue From The Master
When Before The Sanhedrin
Pontius Pilate
King Herod
As A Prisoner He Was Led!

What You Put Into Your Heart
Through Your Eyes
Through Your Ears
Is 
Regurgitated When Before Others You Speak!
Is The Impression You Choose To Sell
One That Is Lit From The Fires Of Hell
Or One That Is Gleaming
With The Wisdom Of The Lord

Who Gives To Each Person ... Finally

His Just And True Reward!?!

The Choice 
Is 
Yours!
Make Wise Your Decision!
Soft Words Turn Away Wrath
But
Harsh Words Lead To Condemnation!

It's Time For New Beginnings

Or Else
Heaven ... You'll Not Be Entering! 

PRAYER:

Father,

You Are My God

And

I Worship You!

I Come Before You

Because

I Know That For Me You Care

And

Because Of Your Great Grace

Which Plainly Says That

I Can Approach Without Fear!

I Need Help!

The Living Word States Clearly

That Words, Indeed, Have Weight

And

Our Own Weighty Words

Will Cut Out For Us

Our Final Fate!

Please Help Me, Father

I Beseech You

To Season My Words With Salt

And

To Exercise Restrain

Before Wildly Uttering

 The Often Unwise Words

To Which I Gave Little Thought!

Please Bless Me To Be Faithful

To The Lord Whom I Adore

And

By Your Holy Spirit

Direct The Traffic Of My Speech

So That The Devourer 

Does Not Upon My Blood Leech!

I Desire To Be Gentle

To Be Loving, Kind And True

And

Most Of All, Dear Father

I Desire The Forever Home With You!

Grant Me The Victory

So That My Teeth May Be The Ivory Bars

Closed

Against The Loose

The Wayward Tongue

So That In The Day Of Small Things

On The Conquering King's Side

In Peace

I May Be Found!

Thank You For Hearing

And

For Answering My Prayer

For I Ask All In The Name Of The Holy Jesus

Your Only Begotten Son!

I Love You!

Have Mercy And Bless!

AMEN.

Noe D. Rain and Lot A. Fire

Fire and Rain
Fire and Rain
Lord have Mercy
Oh, De Pain, and De Shame!

Noe had a "Grandchild"
His Name was Lot
Who lived in Sodom
Among a Disgraceful and Shameless Lot!

Young and Old in That Congregation
Behaved Like Alley Cats
Willing and
Able and
Ready to Break Back!

They Made a Mistake Terrible
On One Fateful Day!
Lot Had Blessed Guests that
He would not let His City Hosts
Violate and Share!

This Turn Of Events
Did Not Sit Well
With Those Licentious Folks
Who Evilly Promised Lot that
That he was going to get his
Back Broke!

Lot had a Gran'daddy
Whose Name was Old Noe
Who, by his Obedience
Condemned Man to no more Sin Sow!

Noe was a Preacher 
Whose one Sermon lasted 120 years
But, as Sin would have it
It fell on Willful Sinners' Deaf Ears!

Marrying The Women
Giving Themselves in Marriage
To Men Like Themselves
They took Repentance Off The Heavenly Table
By telling God what to do to Himself!

Yes, those Cretans did that
Those Made in The Image of God
Who Decided by their Own Actions
That Satan was their god!

They Defiled their Creator
By taking into Themselves
The Fruits of their Wayward Lusts
And Worshiping the god on The Shelf!

They Drank and Cavorted
They Murdered in Spades
They Cursed with Impunity
And Praised Satan in Unity!

If it Felt Good - it was Done
If it Defiled - it was the New Style
If it Dishonored - it was Lauded
The More Heinous The Practice
The More it was Applauded!

Well ...

Like Life
And All Good Stories
Actions Have Consequence
And Punishment
With Finality
Was The End Of Those Who Chose
A Willful Life Of Grossest Depravity!

The Compatriots Of Noe
Told Old Noe "No!"
They Laughed
They Cavorted
And At His Excessively Long Sermon
They Boisterously Snorted!

Noe Called And He Preached
He Finally Did The Ark Of Safety Complete
And Soon
Animals Started Appearing
And Ultimately
The Good God
Closed The Door - BANGGG SHUTTT!!

And Soon ...
Damnation Fell Down
Came Up
And Destroyed All Who Chose
Not To The God Of Heaven
Look Up!

Likewise ...

In Lot's Hometown
Reformation
Was Not Considered A Way
And With The Removal Of Lot's Presence
Flying Damnation Held
Total Sway!

So ...

Let This Be A Lesson
To All Who Would In The Living God Believe!
Almighty God Does Not Play Games
And He Has No Tricks Up 
His Non-existent Sleeve!

The Eternal God States The Case Clear:
Do Good - Have No Fear
Set Aside Idols - Walk In My Way
Come Unto Me - Of Sin Be Penitent
Accept My Salvation And Live Righteous
And Not As A Recalcitrant!

The God Of All Graces Gives Good Gifts!
The All-Knowing God Always Says The Truth
And He Offers Blessings And Cursings
But
Your End Is Up To You!

Influence: Blessing And Cursing + PRAYER: Lord, Lift Us Up!

... No Matter How Dull Of Hearing
How Tone Deaf You Become
You Will Hear 

The Still Small Voice Of Almighty God Calling!

There Is No Place From It
That You May Run!

You ... By Personal Choice
- Exercising Free Will -
May The Entreaty Of The Holy Spirit
Boldly Refuse
BUT
There Is No Way That You May
Unchallenged
Say:

I Did Not Get The Intent

Because The Words Partially Heard

Left My Spirit

Just A Mite Confused!

You May Abuse Your Own Soul

AND
Aggravate Your Own Spirit
BUT
The Only Way The Holy Spirit Of Truth
Will Not Your Name Call
Is
If You Grieve Away That Great Spirit
By Plain Words
Clear Actions
Bold Blaspheming
AND
On The Great Liar
Avidly Leaning!

To Trust Satan
Is

To Doubt Aka Disbelieve
Distrust
The Creator!

This Is Dangerous Territory

AND
He Who Causes A Brother To Fall
Will Have To Give The Accounting
Unto The Vengeful Judge!

Simply Put ...

Faith Is For Those Who Choose
To Hope In The Merits

Of

The Lord Christ!

Doubt Is ... For Those Who Choose 

Not To Give Credence

To The Hope Of Belief

In The Lord Christ

AND
It Must Be Recognised That
Both Are Ably
Energetically
Assuredly Propelled
By Their Companions Of Influence
Who Either Laud Or Denigrate
The Power Of The Living Holy God Who Is
- Even Now -
In This Earth's Late Hour
Still In The Eternal Life Gift-Giving Business
AND
Offering Free-To-All Grace
Readily-Available Mercy
Sure-And-Assured Salvation
Relief From Sinning
AND
The Cold Grave's Permanent Release!

The Power Of Influence ...

Influence Matters!
Be It Good Or Bad
Influence Has The Power
To Cause One To Do Good
Walk Holy
AND
To Choose Life
OR
To Imbibe Evil
Consume Despair
Spin One's Wheels
In The Tortured Sea Of Churning Doubt
AND
Lie Upon A Bed Of Why-Bother Lettuce
Covered In A Cheap There-Is-No-God Vinaigrette
Served By The Damned Hand Of Satan
The Fraud
The Wannabe God!

Doubt Is Addicting!

Likewise Is Hope!

Belief Is Addicting!

So Is Despair!
So Is Ungodly Fear!
So Is The Call:

Let Us Almighty God Willfully Disobey!

Sooo ... We Have A Great Problem!

No, We Don't!
We Have A Great God
Who Has Already Defeated The Adversary
AND
Who Has Already Made Provision
For Those Who Choose
To Trust And Obey The Lord Christ
AND
To Look Up To The Holy Hill
- The Mount Of Our God -
The Unshakeable Mount Zion
AND
Not At The Lost Cause That Is The Flesh Pots
The Pleasure Palaces Of
The Condemned Valley Of
Modern-Day Sodom And Gomorrah!

I Like How You Align That
For One Simple Reason:

A Hill

A Mount

Must Be By Choice

- By Willing Effort -

Climbed

But The Valleys

The Flat Plains

Have No Such Requirement!

Walk Your Walk

And You'll Arrive At A Destination

Just Fine And On Time!

Indeed!
Note You Said At "A" Destination
Which Is Not Necessarily "The" Destination
You Will Have Chosen!

If You Just Continue ... 

• Doing You
• Doing Business As Usual
• Ignoring The Fact That Salvation Requires Personal Change
• Depending On Carnal Eyes

AND

• Slavishly Following Sinful Self

AND 

• Committedly Imbibing The Unprofitable Traditions Of Fallen Man

It Only Serves To Condemn One's Self
To Never Touching
The High Holy Eternal Loving Giving
Blessing Savior's Helpful
Healing Hand!

Brother,
That Is A Thought That My Heart Cannot Stand!
I Am Following My Jesus
The Son Of God
The Savior Of Man
Because It Is My Soul's Desire
To Live Forever With Him
In The Heavenly Land!

Brother,
Let Me Shake Your Hand!

We Are Following The Lord Jesus All The Way Home!

That, Brethren Beloved

Is

The Best Plan!

PRAYER:

Heavenly Father,

Hear This Our Prayer!

Bless Us, We Beseech You

To Use Our Influence

To Gain Friends For Christ Jesus

And

By Your Holy Spirit's Moving

Residents For The Courts Above!

Help Us To Be True

To Be Faithful

To Be Kind

And

Help Us Not To Cause Others

To Choose Not To Walk

On The Straight And Narrow Path

Because Our Influence

Is

Not Of The Kingdom Holy

Not Of The Realm

Of

The God Gracious And Divine!

Teach Us Your Ways

And

Help Us To Daily Walk In Them

And

Bless Us To Lift Up Jesus Christ

So That Others May See

That He Is The Truth

The Light

And

The Only Way To Eternal Life!

Lift Us Up, Father

So That We May Lift Up Others

Is Our Heart's Plea

Even As We Ask These Few Mercies

In Jesus Christ's Holy Name!

AMEN.

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: The CHOICE Is Yours!

Creature
On One Bright And Shining Day
Took Total Leave Of His Senses
AND
Said ... Boldly

Coldly:

I AM

And There Is None Else!

I Will Do What I Will Do!

I WAS Created ... BUT

I AM

Evolved!

I Have No Need Of A Master

Nor That Creator God

For

I AM 

My OWN Captain

I Shall Be AS God!

Creature Grew Gross
Vile
Contemptible
Usurping The Power Of The One God
AND
Notably Earning The Exclamation Appellations:

"Deceiver!"            
            "Liar!" 
                 "Fraud!"
                              "Wannabe God!"

Creature Threw His Weight Around!
He Wielded The Power Of The Air
AND
He Promulgated Potent Deceptions
AND
Caused Many Unsuspecting
To Call The True And Living
Eternal Creator Forgiving God
Mean-Spirited
Unkind
AND
Gratuitously Unfair
AND
He Did It All With Great Gusto And Flair!

Creature Made A Serious Miscalculation
Which Came About 

As A Result Of His Not Having
Omnipotent
Omniscient
Omnipresent
Eternal Sight!

He Killed The Son Of God
Who Willingly Laid Down His Precious Life
AND
Readily Took It Back Up
AND
Is ALIVE ... Forevermore!

Creature Also Indulges In Scorched-Earth War
Against The Apple Of God's Eye
AND
He Takes Perverse Pleasure
In Seeing How Many Others
He Can Cause
Their Purchased Salvation To Wilfully Deny!

However You Dice And Slice It ...

The Day Is Coming
When Creature
- That Musician Profound -
Will Face Comeuppance
BECAUSE
Creature Neglected To Accept
Understand
Believe
That THE Creator
IS
The Everlasting Father
AND
Has The FINAL Say
AND
By His Own Counsel

In His Own Time
Will Distribute To All
That Are Known To Be
That Are Called Creature
Their Earned
AND
Sure To Be Paid
Final Rewards!

A Creature

Is Not

Will Not

Can Not Be

God!

Brethren,

Be Not A Foolish Creature
Indulging In
"I Don't Care!"
AND
Despising Your Creator
For
Soon Comes
Company Closed
Final Check Pay Day!

Ignorance Is Not Bliss!
AND
Foolishness Is Not Sense!
AND
Trusting In Your Own Self For Salvation
Is Sure To Place You
In That Lake Of Fire "Ants' Nest!"

Jesus Christ Saves!
The Living God Blesses!
AND
If You Will Turn Away From Walking Wrong
AND
With Broken 

AND

Contrite Heart
Your Sin Confess
Jesus Christ Will Save You
AND
You Will Be Forever Blessed!

Life Is Not A Fashion Show

But Is

A Commended Or Condemned

Choice-Is-Yours

Great Test!

The HaRP No Longer Plays!

Why Do You Deify Nature
BUT
Deny
AND
Defy Its Creator?

Why Do You Glorify The Caricature
BUT
Call The Living God a False Character?

Why Do You Denigrate God
BUT
Exalt The Known Ingrate
The Proud Profligate?

Why Do You Trust The Liar
BUT
Doubt He Who Is The Truth?

Why Do You Cavil Over The Word Of The Creator God
BUT
Elucidate The Word Of The Created Bard?

Why Are Aliens Fact ... To You
BUT
The Son of God ... To You ... Is Fiction?

You Doubt Truth!
You Accept Lie!
You Wander With The Wild
AND
The HaRP No Longer Plays ...!

Wait, Wait, Wait!
What Harp Is That
That No Longer Plays?!

Ha ppiness
R est And
P eace
Depart From The People
AND
Their Lands
Where The Living God Is Counted The Least!

Many Decry The Making Of
Idols Of Wood And Stone
BUT
Many More CONSTRUCT Acceptable Idols Of
False Doctrines And Ideologies
AND
Glorify The gods That Can't Answer Them
When In Burdensome Trouble
They Call Them On The Prayer-Phone!

Men Who Set Aside The Laws Of God
Are Not Fit To Govern Themse...!

Hold Up There, Big Fella!
Jesus Christ Died
So All The Law Enacted Before
Perished
AND
Was Finished When In Death
Christ Was Surely Done!

So, Then
You Say
When Christ Died
All The World Became Lawless?!

No! ... Yes! ... No!

Pick A Position - You Can't Have Both!
Yes Or No?!

Yes ...

So, Is There No Law Under Which Your World Resides?!

Sure, There Is!
The Love Of God!

Hmmm ...

Sooo ... The Law Of God Is The Love Of God
AND
By Extension
The Love Of God Is Indulgent!

How Interesting!

So Where, Then

- In Your World -
Does God's Justice Take Hold?!

Umm ...

You Do Know That God
Will Not Countenance Evil
Will Not Pardon The Guilty
Will Not Permit Sinners In Heaven ...!

Wait! You Guys Have Me Confused!

If There Is No Law
Then There Is No Sin!
If There Is No Sin
Then There Can't Be Any Sinners
Therefore
All Men Go To Heaven
For No Man Is A Sinner Since There Is No Law
BUT
Everywhere We See Sin
So There Must Be A Law
AND
IF
There Is God's Mercy
THEN

To Avail Oneself Of That Mercy
One Must Be Subject To God's Justice!

We Cannot Have Mercy Without Justice
AND
We Know That Both Justice And Mercy And Love
Are All Part Of God's Character
WHICH CANNOT BE SEPARATED
Nor
DENIED
So ... Houston

We Have A Problem!

Yes, We Do
AND
God Deniers Created It
To Muddy The Waters
For Those Who Will To Trust Their Creator
For The Saving Of Their Sinful Souls!

A Non-Existent Existent Rejected God
With A Non-Existent Existent Ignored Law
Is Perfect
For The Wannabe God
To Raise Up An Army Of The Surely

AND

Sincerely Damned! 

By So Doing
His Evilness, Himself 

Gets To Hurt The Very Heart Of
The Holy Son Of God
The Son Of Man!

Let Us Not Follow The Multitude
To Do Evil
To Walk In The Way Wrong!
God Is Not The Author Of Confusion
Unbridled Revelry
Nor Doing Planned Wrong!

Confidently Hiding Your Head In The Dry Sand
Does Not Protect Your Body! 

AND
Indulging In Rampant Sin
Does Not Make The Eternal God A Nobody!

God

The Living God
God Almighty 

The Eternal God
Is Sovereign Lord 

AND

God For Real

No Matter Who Calls Him Stale
AND
No Matter What You Say Or Do
He Is Judge!
He Is Paymaster!
AND
He Determines Our Wages
According To What It Is In The Flesh That We Do!

An Inconvenient Truth Is This

- It Shouldn't Be -
But That Does Not Make It A Lie!

You May Lie To Your Self, My Friend
BUT

Your Words Do Not Your Soul Edify!

You Are Mortal
AND
All Mortals Are Subject To Death
So If You Know You Are Dying
Go! Go! GO!

To God
- In The Name Of The Lord Christ - 

AND
Your Sins Confess

Repenting Of Those Sins
AND
Vehemently Denying The Known Liar
AND
You Will Be Out

You Will Get Out Of
Condemnation's Foul Mess!

God Is True!
Satan Is The Father Of Lies!

The Fallen Angels With Satan Are All Liars!

AND

Every Man Born Of A Woman Is A Liar!

Brethren,
It Is Time For Us To Look Up
Higher
To The Only One Who Can Save Us

From Damnation's Fire!

Amen, My Friend! 

AMEN!
