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!

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 + 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 Grieve The Holy Spirit!






Are You Angry ... And Sinning!?! 
Are You Permitting The Sun To Go Down On Your Wrath!?! 
Are You Giving Shelter, Comfort And Aid To Satan!?!
 
Are You Starting To Grieve 
Aka Chase Away The Holy Spirit From Your Life 
By Your Behavior, Attitude 
And 
Your Stance In Life? 

Beloved, 

If You Are, May The Living God Have Mercy On You! 

The Facts ...

We Cannot Grieve, Cause Hurt, Sorrow, Or Anger 
In Someone Who Doesn't Love 
And 
Cherish Us In Their Heart! 

The Difference Between Grieving A Human Heart 
And 
Grieving God The Holy Spirit 
Is That
With The Loss Of The Holy Spirit
We Lose Perfect Peace, Rest
Truth, Light, Love 
And 
Eternal Life!

Is Holding On To Anger ... Remember Cain
Jealousy, Hatred
Pride ... Remember Lucifer
Greed ... Remember Judas
Covetousness, Selfishness, 
Bitterness
Lying To God ... Remember Ananias And Sapphira
Grudge, Unforgiveness
Malice
Vile Thoughts And Speech 
And
The Practice Of Witchcraft ... Remember King Saul 
HonestlyWorth The PriceWhich Must 
And 
Will Be Paid!?! 

Be Ye Warned ...

Grieving Away The Holy Spirit 
Is 
A Process ... A Downward Spiral 
To Eternal Separation From Almighty God! 

Please, I Beseech Us All
Do Not Permit Petty To Turn Putrid:
All Rotten Things Get Binned And Burned!
 
Do Not Chase Holy Angels Out Of Your Home 
Or The Holy Spirit From Your Life 
When The Humble Prayer Of A Contrite Heart 
Can Turn Sorrow To Joy 
And
Hurt To Healing! 

Be Wise!
Your Personal Salvation Was Purchased At Infinite Cost
With The Blood Of The Innocent Lamb Of God
Jesus Christ The Lord
And
Not With Perishable Gold And Silver! 

Please Consider What The Shedding Of 
The Innocent Blood Of His Only Begotten Meant 
... Still Means ... 
To Our Heavenly Father 
And
Choose To Value Yourself Accordingly! 
The Lord Christ Did Not Make A Mistake 
When He WillinglyChose To Die
To Personally Save You ... And Me, Too! 


Peace With Almighty God
Is
Perfectly Precious!

REJOICE: Jesus Christ Utterly Saves!

I Went Before The Lord Of Life
Covered In The Death That Is The Wages Of Sin
Pleading For The Promised, Offered, And Available Grace
And
Confessing And Repenting Of My Known Disgrace
And
He Who Is Hope, Help And Sure Salvation
Grandly, Gently, Joyfully ... Lovingly
Invited Me To Enter Into His Warm, Welcoming, Embrace
For Healing
For Cleansing
For Blessing Most Profound
And
In The Rapture Of Willingly Given Forgiveness
I Broke Into Glad Song!

Before My Lord, I Humbly Stand
Cleansed From Sin! 
I'm A New Human With A Heart Of Flesh
A Tongue To Speak Peace
Ears No Longer Tickled
And
Eyes That See Truth Most Clear!
I Stand Before My King Without Fear!

I Now Have A Heart Willing To Praise My God!
I Now Have A Cleansed Tongue Able To Condemn Sin, Self 
And 
Satan The God-Fraud!
I Now Have Unstopped, Listening,
Ears That Know The Lord Of Glory's Truth
So That I Can Recognize The Adversary's Lies
And
I Now Have Cleansed And Focused Eyes That 
See The Holy God 
Who Is Guiding Me To The Great Reward!
He Heard My Humble Cry!

Lord, 
I Have Placed My Hand In Thine!
Please Go Before Before Me:
Please Keep Me In Line
Inside Your Hedge Of Protection
Under The Shelter Of Your Wings
Inside Your Strong Tower
In Your Heart Which In Love For Me Sings!

I Love You, Lord!
Please Bless Me!
Please Increase My Faith!
Please Pour Out Of Your Sweet Holy Spirit
Upon Me
And
Please Take Me To The Water
To The River Of The Water Of Life
When Ends The Carnal Strife
And
Begins The Day That Is
The Start Of Our Eternal Life!

I Am Redeemed!

We Who Have The All-Seeing
All-Knowing, Ever-Present, Holy God
For Our Guide Through Life 
Do, Indeed, Have Very Good Reasons To Rejoice 
And 
Shout For Joy! 

We Are Able To Close Our Carnal, Fallible, Eyes 
And
Through The Eyesight Of Holy Faith
Follow Jesus Christ 
On The Road That Will Always Lead Us Safely To Safety 
And 
Ultimately 
To The Eternal Home Of The Forever Blessed! 

We Are Ground Doves 
But 
Our God Is The Eagle With Aerial View 
Who Ever Takes Care Of 
His Believing, Trusting, Obedient Children!
Brethren, That's Me And You, Too! 

Keep Your Heart In The Faith Of Jesus Christ
And 
Dare To Rejoice In The Lord Always!
Jesus Christ Utterly Saves!

The Lord God Almighty Pardons The Penitent!

Those Whom The Lord Would Pardon
Are Those Whom He Causes To Express Penitence!
The Lord Does Not Use Force To Make Us Say Sorry! 
He Shows Us The Error Of Our Ways
And
We, Cooperating With Him
Recognize 
And 
Accept That ... For Our Personal Salvation
He, At Infinite Cost, Lovingly Paid!

Sorry, Not Sorry ...

You Can't Repent Without Penitence!
You Have To Feel Sorry For Your Sin!
You Have To Express Sorrow For Your Sin
And
With Contrite Heart
You Must Confess Your Known Sin
And
You Must Repent For Having Committed That Sin
And
By Almighty God's Great Grace Upon You
Working In you
You Willingly, Wisely, Turn Away 
From Ever Wittingly, Boldly, Committing That Sin Again!


A Broken And Contrite Heart
The Lord Will Never Despise!


No One Who Has Experienced The Eternal God's Pardon 
And
Has Been Truly Converted To The Way Of The Cross
To The Life Of The Lord Jesus Christ
Ever Seeks Out Sin
Ever Indulges Sin
Ever Encourages Others To Sin
Or
Deceitfully Paints The Lord Of Life
As An Over-Indulgent, Unprincipled, Parent
Who Permits His Children To Run Wild And Free
Whilst Saying That Sinners They Are
And 
Sinners They Shall Always Be
Because
Everyone Of Us Believers Knows For A Fact That
The Payment To Free Us From 
The Penalty For Our Personal Sin
Was Exceedingly Great
And
Infinitely Costly
And
Being Forgiven Much
We Have No Desire To Crucify Our Lord Afresh!


A Pardon From The Lord
Is
Perfection
Because
It Makes Us As Though
We Had Never Sinned At All!


Ponder This Prayerfully ...





Sin
Called And Known By Its Real Name
Is
Exceedingly Sinful, Hurtful, And Harmful
And 
Left Unconfessed And Unrepented
Leaves Sinners To Be Bolder 
And 
Ultimately Leads To Death And Damnation! 

Facts Remain Constant ...

There Is No Big Or Little Sin
And
No Cute Nor Harmless Sin! 

All Sin Is Lawlessness
Breaks The Commandments Of Almighty God
And 
Breaks The Heart Of Jesus Christ
Who Died To Save Us All
From All Our Personal Sin! 


The Inexhaustible Gift ...


Almighty God So Loved The World
That
He ... Gave ... Us ... His Only Begotten Son

And

We Have Been Gifted By The Son
Jesus Christ Our Lord And King And Judge
With The Victory Over Sin 
So Please Do Not Permit Anyone
Be It Priest, Pastor, Pope, Employer
Foe, Fiend, Friend Or Family
To Convince You That You Cannot Stop Sinning: 
That's A Lie Of The Devil
And
Only Works On Those
Who Refuse To Read The Living Word For Themselves
And
Seek The Light That The Holy Spirit
Who Leads Us Into All Truth
Lovingly Provides! 

Brethren, Beloved

Pray In Faith ... Nothing Wavering!
Deny Satan ... The Lying Accuser Of The Brethren! 
Look Unto Jesus Christ ... The Author And Finisher Of
Our Most Holy Faith
And
Hold His Scarred-For-You Holy Hand
And 
Walk In The Marvellous Light Of Life To Glory!


Heaven Is Only For Those
Who Are From Sin
By The Son Of Almighty God
Truly Set Free!

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

A True Child Of God
Does Not Walk This Earth Alone
Nor Does He Ever Seek
For His Own Sin
Personally To Atone!

Humbly Bow
Before The Lord Of Life!

In The Household Of Faith In A Special Way
And
Grant Us A Double Portion
So That We May Perform Mightily
Spreading The Good News Gospel Of Truth
Reminding The World That 
Saturday Is Still The Fourth-Commandment Sabbath
Jesus Christ Is Coming Soon
Satan Is Always The Liar
And Urging Them To Save Themselves
By Honoring, Worshiping And Obeying
The Word Of The True And Living God
So That They Shall Have Good Angels
Excelling In Strength
To Influence Them To Do Good
And Live Right
And To Protect Them In Their Striving For Eternal Life!

Oh, Father
How I Pray That By Your Holy Spirit
That Conviction Will Come To Them
And They Will Become Convinced
That Your Holy Love For Each One Of Us 
Does Not Relent!
Oh, How I Pray For Them, Lord
That They Will Confess Their Known Sin
And
With Humility, Before You
Our Holy God
They Will, With Contrite Hearts
Sincerely, Sincerely, Repent!

May We Recognize That Your Grace
Gives Us Mercy
Which Is At All Times Now Present
Available And Free
And
Reach Out With The Hope That Comes Of Faith
For The Extended Hand
That Is Our Hope, Our Help
And Our Sure Salvation
That Is Preparing For Each Child Willing
In The Mansions Of The Blessed
A Personal Place!

Thank You For Life!
Thank You For Love!
Thank You For Forgiveness, Peace And Rest
And
Thank You Most Kindly For The Blessed Sacrifice
That Calls Me To Present My Boldly
At Your Throne Of Grace
In The Realm Above!

I Love You, Lord!
My Life Is Yours!
Please Grant Unto Me These Few Petitions
According To Your Will
And Ever In Your Way
And Always In Your Time
For I Ask Them In The Holy Name Of
The Lord Blessed Forever
Jesus Christ The King!
Please Come For Us Soon!
AMEN!

HAPPY SABBATH + Sin Shall Not Have Dominion Over You!




Great Peace
Have They Which Love Thy Law

And

Nothing Shall Offend Them:


The Perfect Law Of The Lord

Converts The Soul


And

Makes Simple Men Wise!

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

Sin 
Is 
Not A Light Thing
To Be Trivialized
And
Neither Should It In Our Lives Loom Large!
The Lord Of Life, Light And Glory
Came And Showed ... Gave Us 
The Living Way
Sin, From Our Lives, To Boldly Discard!
Don't Board The Doubting Man's Doomed Barge!

Open Your Eyes ...

Temptation Will Come To All Men!

Jesus Christ Resisted By The Living Word
And
Overcame
And
Even Now 
He Is Readily Available
- By His Holy Spirit Of Truth -
To Help Us To Resist Self, Sin And Satan:

Let's Read The Holy Word To See How:

Resist The Devil 
And 
He Will Flee From You!
Depart From Evil ... It Has No Dominion Over You!

Put On The Whole Armor Of God
And 
You Shall Be Able To Stand 
Against The Wiles Of The Devil!

All Temptation Is Common To Man:
Come Boldly To The Throne Of Grace
And 
You Will Find Grace 
To Help You In Your Time Of Need!
Your Lord Is The Holy Son Of God
The Beloved Son Of Man!





The Name Of The Lord
Is
The Strong Tower:
The Righteous Run To It 
And 
Are Saved
Blessed, Strengthened, Comforted
Protected, Fed ... Loved!

Love ... Does ...

When You Love The Lord With Your Whole Heart
Sin Will Never Have Dominion Over You!

Mortal Men Make Myriad Mistakes
But
Mistakes ... In The Life Of 
The Committed, Consecrated-To-Christ, Christian
Are Never Fatal
Because
Like King David
He Has A Contrite Heart 
Which Embraces Grace
And
Heeds The Call To Confess And Repent
As And When Sin In The Life Is Pointed Out!

To Repent Is To Turn Away From That Sin!
To Confess Is To Acknowledge The Known Wrong!
To Have A Contrite Heart
Is 
To Be Sincerely Repentant For The Offense 
In The First Place
And
Desire Never To Commit It Ever Again!
Cherish This: The Lord Will Help You!

Brethren, 

We Sinners Come To The Lord 
Dirty, Dirty ... Real Unclean
Knowing Our Condition
And
Clearly Seeing Our Need Of The Lord Christ
The Son Of David
And
His Free Gift Of Sure And Secure Salvation!

Dirty You Came To The Lord
But
Dirty You Cannot Remain!

Childlike You May Come
But
Childish You May Not Remain!
You, Me, We Must Grow In Grace
To Attain Unto The Fullness Of 
The Stature Of Jesus Christ
Aka We Must Become Like Christ! 

We Have The Promise ...

We Don't Know What We Shall Be
But
We Shall Be Like Him
For We Shall See The Lord
As He Is ... Really!!
The Almighty God Said So!

This Promise Is A Glorious Gift To Cherish
And
Eagerly Look Forward To Receiving
In The Day Of Appointment!

We've Got That Enemy ...

Do Not Permit Satan 
To Construct Your Cage Of Disappointment!

Be Wise Unto Salvation ...

Your Commission
If
You Choose To Accept It
Is
To Disappoint The Deceiver
Who Dares To Try And Cause You
To Be Disinherited By The Lord Christ!
Don't Fall For The Demonic Device! 

Truth Is Always Perfect
Always Good
Always Nice And Plain
And
Always, Always, Cuts Straight And Clean
No Matter Who Wields The Knife!

Want To Buy A Slice Of Truth!?!
The Preserved Word Of God 
Is 
Truth

And

It Is Always Free!

SALVATION: Please Open Your Gift!

Real Good Or Really Bad
Nobody Earns Salvation
And
Nobody Is Refused Salvation!
For This Blessing, Our Hearts Should Be Glad!

Salvation 
Is
The Free Gift Given To All
Compliments Of The Eternal God
And
Not Worked For
As Posits Satan
That Unholy And Bold Wannabe God-Fraud!

Please Open Your Gift! 

Know Your Forever-Friend ...

Jesus Christ Is Calling!
Everybody Is Welcome!
You Don't Have To Wait For A Special Call!
The Living Word Of Truth Is Preserved
Openly Given
And
Free To Whosoever Will
So, Reach Out And Grab The Extended Hand
And
Receive The Living Word
And
Enjoy Peace Now
And To Come
Eternal Living!

Know Your Enemy ...

Satan Is The Liar:
The Love Of Jesus Christ, The Lord
Is 
Neither Deceitful Nor Forbidding!

Satan Is The Father Of Lies! 
He's Always, Always, Taking
Destroying
And
Fibbing 
But
The Lord Christ
The Savior Of Man
The Creator, Redeemer, Provider
Lover Of Every Man's Soul
Is
Ever, Always, Gifting ... Giving!

Jesus Christ Is Life
Is Light
And
The Way To Truth
And
The Truth
And
His Words Are True
And
He Never, Ever, Indulges
In Ad-libbing!

The Facts Are Fixed ...

The Lord Loves Me!
The Lord Loves You, Too
And
When We Commit Sin
We May ... With A Contrite Heart
Humbly Present Ourselves
Before The Father ... In Jesus' Holy Name
And
Know Of A Surety That He Will Forgive
Succor 
And 
Bless And Spiritually Proper Us, Too!
His Love Is Personal
To Each And Every One Of Us, Too
And That, Brethren
Is
Almighty God's Gospel Truth!


Do Not Wear
- Not Even In Jest -
Satan's
Gainsaying, Prideful
Lust-Filled
Walking-Only-To-Damnation Shoes!
They Are Not For Me Nor You!
