DIFFERENT MUSCLES: I Hurt, I Hate, I Have, I Give!

I Hurt, I Hate, I Have, And I Give 

All Use Different Muscles! 

Beloved, 

You May Be Hurt

But 

It Doesn't Give You Leave To Hurt Others! 

Because You Have

It Does Give You The Means To Help Others! 

Because You Hate Your Life

It Doesn't Mean You Should Make Others Hate Their Lives! 

Because You Have The Ability To "Give" 

Instead Of Giving Others Hell On Your Altar Of Self-Indulgence

How About Giving Them A Kind Word

And 

Teaching Them To Hate Sin

And

Encouraging Them To Have Hope In Jesus' Finished Work On Calvary

And 

Reminding Them That Continuance In Sin Hurts Our Savior 

And

Crucifies Him Afresh!?! 

As Lovers Of Almighty God And Living Truth

How About Choosing To Always Do What Is Right 

Even At Personal Expense!?! 

We Live In A Society Which Applauds 

Ungodly Displays Of I, Me, Mine, Myself Aka 

"I Hate It When Someone Has What I Don't Have 

And It Hurts Me Not To Be Number One 

So I Must Have A Grudge Against Them 

And Must Give Them Hell 

So That They Will Know That 

Life Is Easier For Them When I Have It All!" 

How Positively Satanic! 

Self-Denial Is An Elevator! 

Our Dear Savior Served Others 

And 

In So Doing He Lifted Up Almighty God 

And 

The Living Kingdom! 

Brethren Beloved, 

Jesus Christ Was The Teacher

The Master

The Savior! 

Let Us, Therefore, Accept What He Graciously Taught

Master Our Base Instincts

And 

Allow The Purchased Salvation To Be Perfected In Us!?! 

We Have One Chance Called Life 

To Make Our Eternal Decision: 

Please Don't Waste It On That Rabid Sinner Self! 

Please Raise Your Gaze So That You May Step Up Higher 

To Climb Jacob's Ladder To Everlasting Life! 

Peace!

HAPPY SABBATH + Why, Lord!?! + PRAYER: I Yield My Will To You, Lord!

 

Why, Lord, Do We Constantly Sin Against You

Our Creator, Savior, Redeemer, And Friend

To Have Power That Absolutely Corrupts

To Have Sex Impossible To Enjoy

To Have Sumptuous Food We Can't Digest

To Possess Clothing We Only Wear Once

To Own Houses We Can't Call Home

To Have Peace Which Gives No Rest

To Control Indecent Sums Of Money That 

Buys Us Friends Of The Moment

To Live Lives We Ardently Despise

But

Valiantly Pursue

Because

Frenemies, Enemies, Financial Friends, Frauds

And

Fools Aka Those Who Dismiss The Living God

And

Who Have More Head Than Brain

Are Gallantly Touting!?! 

Why Lord, Why!?!

PRAYER:

Heavenly Father,

I Come In Faith

And

I Ask A Favor, Please!

 

If There Is Something That 

I Am Doing That You Cannot Bless

Or Anything That I Am Contemplating To Do That 

Will Not Please Your Heart

Help Me To See It For What It Is 

And

Strengthen Me To Choose To Curse It

And

From It Walk Away! 

Please Fill Me With  Desires That 

Will See Me Blessed And Saved 

On The Great And Glorious Day! 

Lord, 

With Eyes That Have Been Given True Sight

By The Living Word That Is The Truth

I Can Now Plainly See That

Wrong Actions For So-Called Right Reasons

Will Never Reap For Me A Blessing

And So

I Choose This Day To Stand Humble

In The Sight Of The Son Of Man

Willing To Be Fed With Food Good For Me

And

To Be Led Onward And Upward

To Beautiful Beulah Land! 

I Yield My Will To You, Lord! 

By Grace, Through Faith

I Will Do The Good And The Right

So That I By My Own Hand

Will Not Blight My Own Life

Or The Life Of Another Soul Benight

Because

I Walk With A Heart Filled With Self-Loathing

Self-Righteousness

And

Spite! 

Please Help Me To Ever Remember That

My Every Sin Crucifies My Lord Christ Afresh:

Please Bless Me To Live By Unfailing Faith

And

Not By Tingling Flesh!

Please Let Your Will Be Done

For, In, And Through Me

In Jesus Christ's Holy Name 

I, A Beggar In Need

And

With A Contrite Heart

Humbly Plead! 

I Love You!

Please Come For Us Soon!

AMEN!!!

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!

To Heal Our Blinded-By-Sin Eyes

And

By Your Grace, Lord

And

Never-Failing Mercy

Help Us To Purchase Of You

That Inestimable Treasure

Eternal Gold

Help Us To Clothe The Naked Both Physically

And

In Sheets Made Of The Truth Of The Gospel

As We Ourselves Walk

With Feet Shod In The Gospel

That Speaks Everlasting Peace

And

Eternal Life!

Father,

Help Us To Guard Jealousy

Our Hold On Salvation!

Grant Us A Death-Grip

On Our Life In Jesus Christ

And

Let Our Eyes Blaze With Hope

With Faith's Sight

In Anticipation

Of

Christ's Soon Coming Glory!

Lord, Help To Stand

So That

Our Faith Today

Shall Glory In The Morrow

When We Shall See Jesus

In Whose Holy Matchless Name

We Make Our Petitions In This New Year

On This New Day!

Remember Us, Lord

Is Our Daily Prayer

And

We Love You True

Is What We In Faith Say!

Help To Do As You Say

And

Not What Eye Servants Do

For We Are You Servants

And

Desire Our Works To Bless You!

AMEN!
