Folly Ain't Fun: Think On Jesus Christ Who Ever Thinks Of You!

Dead In Sin And Trespasses! 

Too Proud To Change!?! 

What A State Of Affairs! 

You Can't Help Yourself 

But 

You Are Making Sure To Keep The One Who Can Out Of Fix-Me Range! 

Did You Know That A Dove Is Called Silly 

Because 

It Sometimes Flies Without A Cause!?! 

Did You Know That Sinners Don't Know Where They Are Going 

But 

Proudly State That They Are Going There In Style!?! 

Consider That You, And Me Too, Were Once In Hard Bondage In Egypt 

Where Denying Knowledge Of The Holy God 

And 

The Practice Of Idol-Worship Were Considered Big Doings 

And 

The Lord God Almighty Brought You Out By The Power Of His Might 

And 

Called You His People 

And

When You Were Established, Strong And Fat And Happy

You Adopted The Vile Habits Of Your Neighbors 

Which Habits The Lord Condemned! 

When Certain Of Your Wicked And Idolatrous Neighbors 

Sought To Make War With You

Would You Ignore Your Own Known-Holy Loving Faithful God 

And 

Seek "Help" From Your Former Slave-Master, Egypt

Instead Of Swallowing Your Pride

Admitting Your Error

And 

Acknowledging Your Shame

Stop Your Useless Silly-Dove Flights Of Fancy Or Fantasy Flights 

And

With A Broken, Contrite Heart

Humble Yourself And Pray

Confessing And Repenting Of Your Known And Bold Sin!?! 

Beloved, 

Folly Ain't Fun! 

What Tastes Good In The Mouth 

And 

Pleasurably Slides Down The Throat 

Can Be Silk In And Brambles Out

Oil In And Jagged Rocks Out! 

How About Choosing To Give Your Sin And Your Satan To The Savior 

So That Your Only Savior, Jesus Christ The Lord 

May Secure You With His Salvation!?! 

Let Us Choose To Lose Our Useless Pride 

And 

In The Lord Of Life Confide And Abide! 

Peace!

HAPPY SABBATH + Prayer: Lord, I Am Yours Three Times!

 

PRAYER:

Lord, 

I Am Yours Three Times

And My Heart Is Made Glad!

I Am Blessed And I Know It!

I Am Yours Because You Said That When I Pray

That I Should Say:

"Our Father Which Art In Heaven!" 

I Am Your Child!

I Am Yours Because You Said

"Trust In The Lord With All Your Strength

And Lean Not On Your Own Understanding ...!

 I Am An Eager Student In The School Of Jesus!

I Am Yours Because You Asked:

"Whom Shall I Send And Who Will Go For Us!?!"

I Am Your Willing Servant Ready For Duty

And Awaiting Your Equipping For Service!

I Am Yours Because I Know That

You Are The Creator God Who Made Me In Your Own Image

After Your Own Likeness!

 I Am Yours Because You Sent Your Only Son

Jesus Christ The Lord Of Life

To Die The Death Of The Accursed

So That I May Be Redeemed From Sin

To Return To Your House, My Father's House

Cleansed, Accepted, Made Incorruptible

And Immortalized

To Live The Life Of The Eternally Blessed

I Am Yours Because I Cried:

"Oh, Wretched Man That I Am!

Who Shall Deliver Me From The Body Of This Death!?!"

And You Answered And Said:

"Come Unto Me All Ye That Labor And Are Heavy Laden

And I Will Give You Rest!

I Am The Way, The Truth, And The Life!"

I Am A Sinner By Nature And By Long Practice

And Knowing That My Life Condemned Me To Death

I Cried Unto You

And You Brought Me Up To Your Level

As I Prayed For Deliverance

And You Ever So Gently Said By The Messenger: 

"If We Confess Our Sin

He Is Faithful And Just To Forgive Us Our Sin

And To Cleanse Us From All Unrighteousness!" 

I Humbly Confessed And You Drew Me To Your Side! 

I Started To Cry And In You, I Did Humbly Confide!

Lord,

There Are No Secrets Between Us!

All That I Need To Know, And Do

You Teach Me Day By Day!

All The Work Necessary To Be Performed

I Strive And, By Grace, Do It Willingly:

New-Day Faith Is Pay! 

By Your Living Word

To The Throne Of Grace I, Moment By Moment, Go

Because I Do Not Choose To Know Life

As The Sinning World Knows It!

I Choose To Use The Gifts You Have Given To Me

And My Free Choice, My Free Will, I Give To You, My King

My Father, My Lord, My God, My Savior, And My Friend

Who Has Chosen To Love And Keep Me In Your Holy Care

So That I May Have The Record Clear

The Character Without Blemish

And The Lot With No Lease

Because You, Being Ever Kind

Have Made Me Your Responsibility!

Soon, Very Soon

My Faithful Endurance

Shall See Me Crossing The Separating Line

So That I Shall Know As I Am Known

And See As I Am Seen

And I Shall Forever Behold Your Face

The Face Of My Beloved, My God Holy Divine!

You Are The Bread Of Life!

You Are The Water Of Life!

You Are The Oil Of Gladness!

You Are Giving Me Beauty For Ashes

So, Please, I Beseech You

Pour Out Of Your Holy Spirit Into This Jar Of Clay

Because You Are My All And All

And I Worship You!

I Love You

And I Sing Your Praises

And I Pray All These Things In Jesus Christ's Holy Name

The Dear Name Blessed Forever!

Please Come For Us Soon!

AMEN!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Choose To Eat Grass With The True And Living God!

To Be Wicked

To Do Wickedness

Which Is To Free-Will, Knowingly, Do Evil 

Is 

Abhorrent In The Eyes Of The Holy God 

And

Anyone Who Blithely Says: 

"You Don't Know How Wicked I Can Be!" 

Is 

Boldly Branding And Condemning Themselves 

With Their Own Tongue! 

Beloved, 

Before You Choose To Be Flamboyant 

Indulging In Sin Because You Can

And 

Being Wicked And Acting Like You Are God Almighty 

Because 

You Want What You Want When You Want It

Choose Instead To Eat Grass

With The True And Living God! 

Don't Go Eating Lamb With The Father Of Lies 

Who Would Have You Believe That 

The Lord Of Life Is Loose

Is Not Looking At You

And 

Will Not Call You To Account 

For All That You Do In Your Flesh! 

As Regards The Terrible Ones Who Instill Fear 

And 

Seemingly Live Above Reproach

They And The Wicked Will Meet The Same End 

If

They Don't Confess And Repent Of Their Known Sins! 

Dear Ones, 

I Urge Us All To Never, Ever, Cover-Up, Condone, Or Conspire 

To Be Participant With The Wicked And The Terrible 

Who Would Have Us Believe That 

The Lord Is Just Like Them 

And

Is Blessing Them! 

They Lie: 

Prosperity Does Not Translate Into 

Nor Indicate Heavenly Approval! 

Let's Choose To Do Right 

Because 

It Is Right

Because 

The Lord Requires It

And 

Because We Love Our Savior Dear

And 

Choose His Will To Ever Obey! 

Live To Live Forever! 

Peace! 

MONEY CAN'T BUY SALVATION: Soap And Water Can't Clean Sin!

Money Can Buy A Lot Of Things In This Life

But

It Can't Buy Class

A Conscience

Nor The Lord Christ! 

We Used To Sing A Song In Young People's Meeting 

Which Contained The Words: 

"If Salvation Was A Thing That Money Could Buy

The Rich Would Live But The Poor Would Die!" 

Thankfully, The Living God Is Not Impressed 

With Our Big Bucks

Or Our Intellect

Or Our Accomplishments 

And, Therefore

He Calls All Of Us Sinners 

And

Invites Us All To Come To Him For Cleansing

For Salvation

By His Saving Grace Known Full And Free! 

Big Or Little, Rich Or Poor, Free Or Slave

All Of Us, Everyone

Is 

Free To Approach The Throne Of Grace Humbly 

In Acceptance Of What Cannot Be Bought, Begged, Or Bartered!

Salvation Can't Be Bought: It's Not For Sale!

Salvation Can't Be Begged: It Is A Gift Of Undying Love!

Salvation Can's Be Bartered: We Have Nothing To Barter With!

What A Mighty And Good God We Serve! 

Beloved, 

Neither Dirty Clothing, Dirty Mind, Nor Prior Dirty Intentions 

Exclude Us From Reaching Out 

To Touch That Holy Hand Of Hope Offering Help And Healing! 

Please, I Beseech Us All

Do Not Permit Pride, Dirt, Or Present Shame For Past Events 

To Stop You From Accepting The Free Gift Of Life Everlasting 

In The Presence Of God Eternal! 

Soap And Water Is Able To Wash Away Everything But Sin 

So Get Thee Hence To Him Whose Innocent Blood 

Cleanses Us Of Every Sin Post Haste! 

You Will Not Be Rejected!

Peace!

Deliverance Is Just A Prayer Away!

Salvation Has Been Brought Down!

Deliverance 

Is 

Just A Prayer Away! 

The Good Book Doesn't Lie 

And

Neither Does The Living Loving Good God 

About Whom The Good Book Speaks! 

Beloved, 

All Of Almighty God's Promises Are Conditional! 

We Cannot Expect To Call Upon The Lord To Deliver Us 

When We Are Presumptuously Down In Babylon

In Known Confusion

Belly-Up To The Flesh-Pots

Drinking, Swearing

Basely Bowing Before Inanimate Idols 

Taking The Lord's Name In Vain 

Committing Murder With Our Mouths And Hands

Being False-Oath Takers

Coveting The Husbands, Wives, And Property Of Our Neighbors 

And 

Calling The Living God A Liar 

By Doubting His True Promise Of Forgiveness 

For Our Confessed And Repented Of Sin! 

Our Sin Is Not Bigger Than Almighty God's Capacity 

To Forgive And Cleanse 

So Accept What The Lord Has Already Given 

And

Turn Back From Condemned Babylon! 

Our God Calls: Answer! 

Our God Forgives: Accept! 

Our God Blesses: Believe! 

You're Human: 

Don't Use It As A Cloak For Sin! 

Our God Is Able 

So Rest In His Arms 

On His Word 

According To His Will 

And

In His Prescribed Way! 

Reach For The Extended Hand 

And 

Be At Peace! 

The Lord Knows Your Name

And

He Forgives 

And 

Cleanses You Of Your Sin And Shame 

After You Fulfill Your Obligation! 

Love The Lover Of Your Soul Solely 

And

Proclaim His Great Goodness To You Boldly! 

Peace! 

Dare To Be Like King David!

We Are Asking Our God To Create A Clean Heart Within Us 

Because 

Our Present Heart Is Dirty, Unclean! 

We Are Asking To Have A Renewed Right Spirit Placed Within Us 

Because 

We Have Been Operating With A Wrong, Ungodly, Spirit That 

Is 

Worn And Torn By An Ill-Spent Life! 

We Are Asking The Lord Not To Cast Us Away From His Presence

And 

Not To Take Away His Holy Spirit From Us 

Because 

Our Behavior Is So Egregious

Outrageous And Obnoxious, That 

It Is Offensive To The Holy One 

... And ... 

Warrants The Sternest Condemnation 

Which Is The Taking Away Of The Holy Spirit 

Who Grants Us Peace

And 

Blesses Us With Rest And Refreshing! 

Beloved, 

Never, Ever, Place Yourself Outside Of 

The Correcting, Checking, Guiding Influence Of 

The Lord God Almighty! 

King Saul Became Too Big For His Britches 

And 

He Paid The Ultimate Price 

Aka The Lord Rejected His Pleas For Comfort And Aid! 

Lacking The Secure Anchor For His Soul

Saul Visited The Accursed Witch At Endor

And 

After Playing On Satan's Enchanted Ground

He Finally Killed Himself 

Because 

He Had No Hope ... No Future! 

King Saul Had Maliciously Written 

And 

Arrogantly Starred In His Own Demon-Inspired Movie 

But 

Regretted His Own Prideful Performance 

In The Day Called Too Late! 

It Is Wise To Be Teachable: 

Humbly Accept Godly Correction

Confess Your Known Sin

And 

Bless God! 

Be As King David! 

Peace!

You Can, Indeed, Pray Without Ceasing!

"Pray Without Ceasing!" 

Is

So Simple A Command That 

It Should Shake Us To Our Very Core

Make Our Eyes Flare

And

Cause Us To Say: 

"Yes, Lord!"  

Praying Raises Us Up To The True And Living God 

And 

Unceasing Praying States That 

In Accord With The Command

We Are Drawing Close To Our Eternal God 

As He Is Drawing Close To Us! 

Beloved, 

The Lord Christ Invites Us 

To Come Into His Presence Without Fear 

And

To Leave Our Burdens In His Care 

But

We Have So Much More To Do! 

Unceasing Praying Says That 

We Believe The Almighty God 

And 

We Are Willingly Submitting To Him

Confessing Our Sin

Laying Out Our Petitions

Pleading For Help

Interceding For Others

Giving Thanks To Our God For All That He Has Done

Is Doing ... And Will Do

And 

Praising Him For Who He Is To And For Mankind As A Whole 

And

To Each One Of Us Personally! 

To Prove That Praying Without Ceasing Is Possible

Dare To Take A Day And Deliberately Choose To Pray 

Every Time You Hear An Ambulance Or An Aircraft Go By! 

The Responders Are Ministering God's Grace: 

The Person Is In Mortal Distress! 

The Myriad Souls Aboard The Various Aircraft 

Are In Physical, Mental, And Financial Distress

And 

Emotional Upheaval 

And

In The Valley Of Decision: 

Reach Out In Their Behalf To The Father

In The Name Of Jesus Christ Who Loves, Cares For

And 

Forgets Not His Own! 

Praying In Faith 

And

With Humility 

Is 

Power And Powerful: 

Pray Without Ceasing! 

Be Righteous 

So That Your Praying Accomplishes Much! 

Peace! 

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: YOUR CHOICE: Lip-Service Sorry Or True Repentance

Most People's Idea Of Being "Sorry!" 

Is 

With Regard To Being Caught Doing The Thing 

And

Getting Off Cheaply ... Or Without Cost 

And Not

About Actual Repentance Aka Turning Away From The Sin 

And

Not Doing It Again

By The Saving Grace Of The Living God! 

Beloved, 

Think About What You Thought Of Doing

Spoke About Doing

Have Done

Are Doing

Or Are Planning To Do: 

Where's Your Heart!?! 

If You Were Caught Doing The Dirty

Would You Be Truly Repentant Or Lip-Service Sorry!?! 

Which Would Hurt You More: 

Being Caught

Having To Apologize

Being Punished

Being Made Ashamed

Or Recognizing That 

Your Actions Crucify Our Dear Savior Again 

And

Bring His Name To Open Shame 

In The Presence Of Eager Evil-Doers!?! 

Being Repentant To Get Out Of Trouble 

Is 

Demeaning To The One Whom You've Hurt 

And

Insulting To The Lord Christ 

Who Has Gifted Us With Confession Of 

And 

Repentance For Sin 

As The Clear Path To Soul Salvation! 

All Sin 

Is 

Against Almighty God! 

False Repentance Diminishes All Who Consider 

Almighty God's Grace And Mercy 

As Cheap 

And 

Useless Trinkets! 

Please Walk Softly Before Our Lord Jesus 

And 

Choose To Treat Repentance 

As Though Your Life Depends On It: 

It Truly Does! 

Please Don't Sell Your Soul Short 

For A Sure Shot At Vain Glory! 

Offer To The Lord A Broken 

And 

Contrite Heart! 

Peace! 

HAPPY SABBATH + "I AM SORRY!" WORKS: Get Rid Of The Blame Game!

There's A Major Difference Between 

Forgiving Someone Who Hurt You 

And

Taking Responsibility For Someone Hurting You 

Because

Well, You Were There In The Relationship 

And

Available To Be Hurt 

So, Tough Luck, You Were Hurt!

You Are In A Relationship With Christ Jesus:

Is He Responsible For Your Deliberately Defiant

"I Will Say He Was Present And 'Helped' Me To Sin!"

After He Already Paid For All Your Sin

On The Cross Of Calvary

And

Gave You The Daily Gift Of Faith For The Day

Free-Will and Freedom To Choose

The Will To Do His Good Pleasure

And

The Longing To Do The Good And The  Right!?! 

Isn't It Amazing How The Holy Word Of God Gets Twisted 

To Absolve Disobedient People From Taking Responsibility 

For Their Own Wicked Behavior!?! 

Beloved, 

Jesus Christ The Righteous 

Our Creator, Savior, Redeemer 

Took The Blame For Our Personal Sins

- Which He Did Not Commit - 

So That By His Innocence Taking Our Guilt 

We May Be Justified Aka Made Right

- With Confession And Repentance - 

When We Are Convicted Of Sin And Of Righteousness

And

Over A Lifetime Of Obedience, Trust

And 

Enduring Faithfulness

Be Sanctified Aka Set Apart 

For Holy Use By Our God! 

What Is Your Heartfelt Confession

And

Repentance For Known Sin Worth!?!

Did You Lie When You Took Jesus Christ

As Your Personal Savior, Lord, God, And King!?!

Lucifer Blamed Almighty God 

For Not Allowing Him Into The Counsels Of 

The Father, The Son, And The Holy Spirit 

And Thus 

Causing The War In Heaven 

And 

The Death Of His Son, Jesus! 

Satan Is Still Using This Nasty Trick Against Us Today 

And 

He Is More Often Than Not Winning This High Stakes Game! 

Please Don't Fall For Folly!

We Serve The God Who Sees Everything

The God Who Knows Everything

The God Who Feels Everything

The God Who Is Always Present

The God Who Is Eternal

The God Who Is Not Mocked

The God Who Is Not A Liar

The God Who Is Righteous

The God Who Pays

What

Each

Person

Is

Owed

For The Work He Diligently Performed!

 

We Are Each Responsible For Our Own Wickedness 

So Don't Even Blame Satan: 

He Can't Make You Do Anything! 

And

Don't Blame The Living God: 

Jesus Christ Already Paid Your Bill 

So Take The Gift! 

Do Right! 

If You Don't Confess

And

If You Don't Repent

You Are On Your Own

Before The Judge Of All Flesh!

Our Lying Lusting 

Is 

Like A Locked Vice-Grip: 

Lose The Lust 

And 

Get Rid Of The Blame Game! 

Peace!

Jesus Christ Saves: 

"I Am Sorry!"

Works 24/7! 

 

 

 

YOU'RE FORGIVEN: Forgive Yourself

 

We Would All Do Well To Understand That 

When We Are Accepted Into The Family Of 

The Eternal God Known Holy

Our Pasts As Whore, Whore-Monger

Murderer, Liar

Robber, Sodomite

Instigator Of Strife, War-Monger

Idolator Or Agent Of Satan

No Longer Has Relevance! 

Unlike Humans

And 

Satan And His Hell-Bound Hoard

Jesus Christ, The Lord Of Life

The King Of Love

Having Fully Accepted Our Confession And Repentance

And 

Having Cast Our Repented-Of Sins

Into The Depths Of The Sea

Will Never Reap Up Our "Old Deads"

When We Forget Ourselves 

And 

Act Like The Back-End Of A Runaway Horse! 

Since The Lord Forgives Us Our Trespasses

Please Do Not Ever Be So Wicked To Yourself 

Or 

So Disrespectful To Your Maker As To Utter The Words 

"I Can't Forgive Myself!" 

Or

Permit The Accuser Of The Brethren, Satan

To Cause You To Doubt The Lord 

And 

His Holy Word 

And

His Precious Promise Of A Future 

And 

The Expected End Of A Home 

In The Father's House Of Love! 

Jesus Christ ... Our Shepherd Of Rest

Is 

The Light Of The World: 

Stay Safe In The Light 

And 

Follow The Lord Where He Safely Leads You! 

Please Don't Ever Doubt The Truth! 

Almighty God's Gift Of Forgiveness

Is

Available, Full, And Free: 

Pray! 

Confess! 

Repent! 

Walk Holy! 

Forgive Yourself 

And

Choose To Forgive Others 

And

Live Free! 

Peace!

HAPPY SABBATH + Filthy Rags!?!

When We Truly Realize 

And

Fully Accept That All That We Personally Call Our Righteousness 

Is 

As Filthy Rags To Our Maker

We Will Give The Eternal God His Glory

- Which He Will Not Share With Another - 

And

Resolutely Praise Him Who ... Alone

Is 

Righteous 

According To The Living God's Own Righteousness! 

Beloved, 

The Self-Righteous Person

Cannot Stand Before The Lord Christ In The Judgment 

To Plead His Own Cause! 

Self Is A Sinner 

And 

Sinners Without Christ Covering Their Confessed 

And 

Repented Of Sin 

Die In The Presence Of The Holy God! 

Let's Get Real! 

Let's Get Practical! 

We Are Clean Before The Lord 

When We Take The Lord As Shelter

Savior

Shepherd

And

Sanctifier! 

If We Are Not Wise Enough To Be Humble

It Is Sure Enough That 

Anything That We Present Before Almighty God 

Is 

A Dud, Dirty

Distinctly Defiling

Decidedly Dangerous

And 

Definitely Damning! 

We Are Required To Humble Ourselves 

Under The Mighty Hand Of God 

And

When We Do This With A Contrite Heart

- Sorrowing Over Sin - 

We Will Honor Our Maker 

According To How He Determines That 

We Should Come Before His Holy Presence! 

Please Don't Be Bold, Brazen

To Present Bitter Fruit To The Lord Of Love 

Who Has Shown 

And 

Is Daily Showing Us 

How We May Be Blessed And Saved!

Do Right 

Because 

"Thus Saith The Lord!" 

Obedience Pays! 

Peace With Almighty God

Is

Perfectly Precious! 

**--**--**--**--**

Righteousness Exacts A Nation!

DON'T BE ASHAMED: Open Your Heart To Almighty God!

Our Hope ... A Living And Lively Hope

Is 

In The Lord Of Life ... The King Of Glory

And

No Child Following After The Lord Jesus Christ 

Should Be Unwilling, Afraid, Or Ashamed 

To Go Before Our Heavenly Father 

And 

In Humility Say:

"I'm Sorry! 

I Need You!

Help Me!

Forgive Me!

Guide Me!

Lead Me!

Feed Me!

Correct Me!

Protect Me!

Draw Me Nearer!" 

Truly Loved And Divinely Blessed

We Should Be Pleased To Say:

"Father, I Trust You: 

Help Me To Trust You More!

 

I Need You: 

Help Me To Daily See My Need! 

I Love You: 

Help Me To Daily Love You More!

 

Thank You For Your Grace: 

Help Me To Daily Grow In Grace!

 

I Have Sinned: 

Please Help Me To Humbly Confess

And

Repent Of My Sin 

And

 By The Working Of The Sweet Holy Spirit That 

Leads Me Into All Truth

Help Me Not To Sin 

Against Your Holiness Again! 

I Am Weak: 

Help Me To Be Strong In You, My Lord And My God!

 

I Desire To Reach The Heavenly Home Safely: 

Please Lead Me Gently Home!

 

Help Me To Honor, Worship And Obey You Always!

 

Help Me To Walk In The Ways Of Righteousness 

And

Not Turn Again To Fables!

 

Help Me To Tell The Good News 

Until Jesus Christ Comes 

Or Until My Life On Earth Is Through!

 

My Life Is Yours: 

Keep Me Safe By Thy Dear Side 

As I In You Completely Confide!" 

Brethren, Beloved

Choose To Hold Nothing Back!

Dare To ... With The Confidence Of Unfailing Faith

Open Your Hungering Heart To Almighty God

To Jesus Christ The Lord

Our Soon-Returning Kind King! 

Peace Be Upon You!
