VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Remember Gideon's Army!

KJV Judges 7:17
17 And he said unto them, Look on me, and do likewise: and, behold, when I come to the outside of the camp, it shall be that, as I do, so shall ye do.
The Composition OfJudge Gideon's Army Should Be 
A Warning And Clue
A Hope And A Help To Us Collectively And Individually 
On This Our Pilgrim Journey! 

Beloved, 

Think On This: 
The Trumpet Sounding A Call To Arms 
Blew A Distinctive Sound Saying:

"Enemies About And Abound!
Help Needed! 
Come Now!" 

Thirty-Two Thousand Willing And Able Souls Answered The Call 
And 
Were Provisioned For Battle! 

The Almighty Sent Word Commanding:

"If You Are Afraid, Go Home!" 

Twenty-Two Thousand Frightened Souls Laid Down Their Arms 
And 
Went Home! 

Was It To Their Home-Home 
Or To Their Long-Home Until The Resurrection!?! 

Many Able Christians Ask The Lord To Let Them Rest In The Grave 
Because 
They Are Fearful Of Giving In To The Flesh During The Time Of Trouble 
And, Thereby
Disappointing The Lord! 

Ten Thousand Willing Souls Were Left To Face 
The Marauding Horde Of The Enemy! 

The Almighty Then Proceeded To Test These Souls 
To Draw Out An Elite Force 
To Fight The Good Fight Of Faith! 

Of The 10,000 Souls Thought Ready For Earthly Battle
Only 300 Souls Were Found Fit To Fight The Good Fight 
After Drinking At The Water ... Of Truth! 

Nine Thousand, Seven Hundred Souls Were Sent Home 
For Being Unwary
And 
For Being Careless 
In Their Preparation For Scorched-Earth War! 
Being Unwary And Careless Kills! 

Consider That ... 

There Was Going To Be Life After The War 
So Was It A Case Where The Almighty Was Sending Them Home-Home 
With The Full Knowledge Of Why They Were Sent Home 
So That They Would Have The Opportunity To Repent, Regroup
And 
Be Re-Educated By The Holy Spirit 
On And In The Living Word!?! 

Dear Ones, 

Those 300 Vigilant, Watchful, Souls 
Were Issued Lights ... Which Were Covered With Clay Jars
And 
Trumpets! 
(Are We Not Vessels Of Clay Holding Treasure?) 

At The Appointed Hour
In Their Three  Ranks
And 
Silently Waiting In Their Assigned Places
They Followed The Good Word Of Their Leader 
To Do As He Did While Uttering What He Had Said: 

"For The Lord And For Gideon!" 

In Obedience 
And 
Energized By The Word
They Broke Their Clay Jars
Held Aloft Their Bright Lights
And 
Energetically Uttered The God-Breathed Word 
And 
Utterly Routed The Enemy Of Souls! 

Brethren, 

Gideon Is A Type Of Christ! 

Those 22,000 Souls Who Had Been Afraid Of The Battle 
And 
Were At Home-Home
Would Ultimately See That They Were Unnecessarily Afraid 
Because 
The Battle Was A Spiritual Battle 
Fought By The Lord Himself 
Using Men Using The Brightly Shining Light Of Life 
And 
The Unmistakable, Unforgettable Word Of Truth! 

Preparation Is Only Good 
If 
We Believe In What We Are Doing 
And 
Trust Him Who Is Our Leader! 

I Pray That The Light Of Life Of The Lord Is Hidden In You
- The Jar Of Clay - 
Until The Day Appointed For Its Revealing! 

You, Me, We Have A Job Of Work To Do! 
Let's Keep Our Eyes On Christ Jesus! 

Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: The Choice Morsel!

 









Simply Put, Psalm 119 Verse 112
In King David's Own Words, Is 
"I Have Decided To Obey Your Laws Until The Day I Die!" 

Beloved, 

If We Remember The Words Of Prophet Samuel 
To The Disobedient King Saul
We Hear The Plain Talk: 
"To Obey Is Better Than To Sacrifice!" 

Obedience Is The Hallmark Of The Christian Experience! 

The Law Of The Lord Is Perfect 
So There Is No Need To Fear 
When We Do All That The Lord Asks Of Us! 

Dear Ones, 

Having A Life In And With Our Lord Jesus Christ 
Is 
Our Personal, Uncoerced, Unforced
Unenticed, Free-Will Decision! 

And Then

There Is The Biggie Aka "Until The Day ... I Die!" 

Your Clock, My Clock, Stops At The Moment Of Death! 

The Record Book In Heaven "Slams" Closed 
In The Day Of Your Death! 

Nothing Can Be Added By You 
And 
Nothing Can Be Erased By The Lord 
After You Close Your Eyes In Death! 

Beloved, 

Psalm 119 Verse 112 Is The Covenant Of A Person 
After The Eternal God's Own Heart
A Man Convicted Of Sin 
And 
Convinced Of Righteousness 
Who Is Determined To Meet His Lord And His King In Perfect Peace 
No Matter Who Or What
When Or Where
Why Or How The Vagaries Of Life Try To Have Him Change Course 
From The Plain: 



"Thus Saith The Lord!" 


Dear Ones, 

Please Never Forget That 
What You See, Hear, And Feel Are Natural Liars! 

If These Three Regular Employees Of Satan 
Cannot Stand Up To A Clear: 
"Thus Saith The Lord!" 
Please, I Beseech Us All, Have Them Act Like 
The Dishonorable Priest And The Indifferent Levite
- Who Both Lacked Charity Aka Love -
And 
Pass You By On The Other Side Of The Dusty Road! 

The Lord Is Always Near 
So Stand Like The Brave 
And 
Be Very Courageous! 

You Are Not Alone: 
The Lord Jesus Will Never Forget One Of His Own! 

Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH + THE TRUTH: The First, Last, And Only Dollar Bill!














Brethren, 

Let Us Not Deceive Ourselves, Nor Others
And 
Let No One Deceive Us: 
The Lord Jesus Gave Us Himself Aka The Truth! 

Since Mankind Needs Money To Survive
Jesus Christ The Lord 
Is 
Our First, Last, And Only Dollar Bill
- Our Only Hope -
Which Will Save, Satisfy, And Sanctify Us
And 
Preserve, Provide For, And Protect Us 
As Long As We Don't Lose Sight Of Or Lose Touch With It
And
Dare To Keep It Ever In Our Head, Heart, And Hand
No Matter How Hungry And Thirsty We Are 
For This, That, And The Other
Or How Boisterously, Angrily, Aggressively
And 
Contemptuously 
We Are Ragged Upon And Railed At To Give It Up
Give It Away
Or Cast It Away From Us 
So That We May Align With Or Belong To 
The "Access-Everything Crowd!" 



Neither Jump Up And Wave
Lie Down And Sleep
Bacchanal
Nor Narcissus 
Will Emerge As Victors
In The Battle For Eternal Life!
 

Only Those Who Have Jesus Christ 
Aka The One Dollar Bill Which Also Provides Hope
Can Fight And Win Battles 
And
Overcome Sin And Self
And
Endure To The End
And
Possess The Crown Of Life 
And
Live In The Heavenly Land! 

Dear Ones, 

There Will Always Be Someone 
Who Will Offer You Something Better, Brighter, Bolder
And 
Allegedly More Beautiful! 
Ignore Them! 

They Will Offer You Something More!
More Elaborate, Elevating, Enticing, And Epicurious! 
Ignore Them! 

They Will Offer You 
Delicious
Exciting
Actualizing
Tasty
Handy 

Instead, Choose What Is 
Liberty
Innocency
Faithfulness
Ennobling 

Choose Life ... In Christ! 

The One Dollar Bill ... The Truth
Is 
Priceless! 
As Long As You Have It
You Will Never Have To Spend A Red Cent On Lies! 

Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Our Blessed Savior Loves Us Beyond Death!




Humans Have The Senses 
To Hear, See, Taste, Touch, And Feel! 

Indulging In The Senseless Is Also Applied To Us! 

Some Humans Say That 
The Lord Has A Sense Of Humor! 

Why Would We Lower Our Lord 
To The Tasteless Level Of Humans Who
- With Their "Sense Of Humor" -
Indulge In Hurtful, Mean-Spirited, Cruel
Dangerous, Deadly, Even Demonic Pranks 
In The Name Of Humor!?! 

Do You Hear Any Laughter!?! 

Dear Ones, 

Never, Ever, Forget That 
Our Great God Is Not A Man That He Should Lie 
Or Have To Say "I AM Sorry!" For Doing Anything 
Because He Hurt Your Feelings! 

Beloved, 

Our Blessed Savior Loves Us Beyond Death 
So Indulging In The Idiotic Is Not Part Of His Plan 
For Our Salvation! 

The Lord Jesus 
Is 
Purposeful In All Of His Dealings With Mankind
And 
Especially So With His Beloved Saints! 

With This In Mind, Let Us Remember 
The Sons Of Thunder, James And John 
Who Wanted To Sit On The Right And Left Hand Of 
Jesus Christ The King In The Kingdom Of Light
And 
Who Proclaimed That They Could Drink Of The Lord's Cup: 
He Gave Them Their Desire To Drink Of His Cup! 

Apostle James Poured His Heart Into The Lord's Work 
And 
Was Martyred By Beheading! 

The Beloved Apostle John Did The Blessed Work 
And 
Was Boiled In Oil
But
Miraculously Survived
And 
Thereafter Produced, On The Isle Of Patmos, By Inspiration
The Wonderful Book Of The Revelation 
For Our Education And Blessing! 

Apostle John Died Peacefully, An Old Man! 

We Will See Them Both In The Kingdom! 

Never, Ever, Forget ... 

There Is No Loss With The Lord Jesus 
So Trust Him If Heaven Is Your Goal! 
He Saves And Seals! 

Peace!

Promised To No Man!




Beloved, 

We Always Have Choices 
But Chances ... Not So Much! 

We Have The Choice To Make Today: 
Live In Love And Light With The Lord Of Life 
Or
Land In The Lake Of Fire 
Through Lust With The Lord Of Lies! 

As Regards The Chance To Make Our Choice ... Tomorrow
That Day Is Indelibly Stamped: 
"Promised To No Man!"
Oh, What A Horror! 

In The Olde Days
When Some Young Village Ram 
Was Prancing Around And Doing The Dog
And 
Some Elder Would Call Him Out About His Behavior 
And Ask When He Was Going To Change 
Or Give His Life To The Lord
The Patented Response Was Invariably: 
"Tomorrow!" 
Which, Inevitably, Never Came 
Because 
The Grim Reaper Came First! 

Remember, Dear Ones, 

We Can't Buy Life 
And 
We Can Neither Stop Nor Sell Death! 

We Were Constantly Cautioned: 
"What You Can Do Today, Do Today!" 
Or Put Another Way
"Never Put Off For Tomorrow 
What You Can Do Today 
Because Tomorrow's Sun Never Rises!" 

This Is Sound Bible Teaching Worthy To Be Accepted 
And 
Acted Upon 
No Matter What The Naysayers Bray! 

The Night Is Coming When No Man Can Work 
So Let Us Permit The Holy Spirit 
To Do A Good Work In Us Today! 

Let's Lean On The Lord 
And 
Learn The Word 
Which Reveals The Thoughts And Intents Of Our Hearts 
And
Is Able To Cut Out The Unprofitable 
Because 
It Is Sharper Than Any Two-Edged Sword! 

Live Today ... Today! 

Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: COO Right!




I Heard It Spoken By Elders
I Read It As Written By Youngsters
And 
I'm Certain That I've Said It Myself More Than A Time Or Two 
And
I've Come To The Conclusion, On Godly Evidence
That This One Statement 
Is 
Patently False And Positively True! 

"Okie Dokie, Smokie! 
Would You Like To Wheel And Come Again!?!" 

Beloved, 

The Statement
"What's Going To Happen Has To Happen!" 
Is 
Both True And False ... With A Proviso! 

If You Commit Sin
You Are Going To Die! 

If You Commit Sin 
And
Become Sorry, Confess, And Sincerely Repent
And 
Choose To Live In And For Christ
While You May Die The Once-To-Every-Man Death
You Will Sleep To Rise ... And Live Eternally! 

Unrepentant Sinners Die Once
To Die Twice
Never To Live Again! 

We Do Not Have To Sin! 

Sinning Is A Choice 
So Willing Sinning Causes "What Has To Happen, To Happen!" 
Aka What Must Must, Must Must! 

We Don't Have To Be Saints Of God And Christ 
But
If We Are
Our Redemption From Death Is Guaranteed! 
What Has To Happen, Will Happen! 

The Bottom Line ... 

We Have To COO Right Because Our 
Choice To Perform 
Opportunity To Shine Or Be Shamed, And To Receive The Appended
Outcome 
Is 
In Our Hearts And Hands! 

Don't Be Cuckoo: 
Be Wise! 

Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Only Almighty God Cannot Change!

 




Jesus Christ Saves All Who Are Willing To Be Saved 
From The Penalty, Power, And Presence Of Sin! 
This Is Amazingly Good News! 

Beloved, 

The Soul That Sinneth, It Shall Die: 
It Is Appointed Once For Man 
To Die The Death From Which We Can Recover! 

The Wages Of Sin Is Death! 

Jesus Christ Saves Us From The Second Death 
Aka Eternal Separation From God! 

Sin Shall Not Have Dominion Aka Power 
Over Those Who, By Faith, Choose To Accept The Gift Of The Grace
The Power, Provision, And Protection Of The Living God! 

Blessed Is The One Who Chooses Not To Walk In Aka Follow 
The Counsels
The Prompts, 
The Advice Of Ungodly People! 

Examine Yourself! 
If You Are Being Ungodly
You Are Rejecting The Law Of God Which Makes Aka Marks You 
As Lawless 
And
A Sinner By Choice 
And 
Not By Virtue Of Being Born That Way! 

Please  Remember That We Have Choice And Chance
Free-Will And Freedom To Choose To Do And Live Right 
Aka Live A Sinless Life
And
To Bless The Eternal God
So Let No Created Being Convince You That 
You Cannot Change 
Aka Cannot Get The Victory Over Sin! 

Anyone Who Says They Cannot Change 
Is 
Become God
And 
Is A Liar, A Leech, A Thief
An Unrepentant Sinner 
And
Effectively Damned! 

There Is Only One God ... The Living, Almighty, Holy God: 
Adore Him! 
Give Him Dominion:
 He Is Worthy! 

Peace!

The Valley Of Decision!







At The Border Between Decision And Death
I Sincerely Pray For Us All That 
We Will Reach Out To Jesus Christ 
And 
Choose Life! 

A No-Decision Is A Decision
And 
A Not-Now Decision Decides That 
We Will Not With Our Dear Savior
Eternally Abide! 

Wait And See 
Is 
As Good As Continue And Do ... Wrong ... 
While Forgetting That 
Tomorrow Is Not Promised To Either Me Or You! 

We Must Live With Awareness 
Consciously Doing What Is Right
Never Engaging Auto-Pilot To Walk Wild 
On The Dark Side! 

Beloved, 

Today Is The Day Of Salvation
Not For A Family
A Group
Or A Church
But 
For Each One Of Us Individually: 
Let Truth, Righteousness, And Faith Be Your Perch! 

Please Let No One Detain You To Indulge In A Lil' Fun 
Because 
The Very One Who Encourages You In Wrong-Doing 
Is 
A Payee Of 
Satan's Do-You Ruin-A-Friend And Another Fund! 

Think For Yourself! 
Walk Alone If You Must! 
Jesus Christ Bore The Cross Of Shame 
All Of Our Sin To Atone ... To Pay For ... Alone! 

We Have One Shot At Jesus Christ's Glory! 
There Is No Do-Over Of Life! 
In The Valley Of Decision, Dear One, 
Please Choose Christ's Eternal Life! 

Don't Look Back At What Was! 
Look Up To What Shall Be 
And 
Think Of The Welcome Home Table 
Where Christ, Himself, Shall Serve You And Me! 

Think About Our Eternal Home! 

Peace!

Arm-Candy For Satan OR Heart-Home For Jesus Christ!?!







Why Would You Want A "Savior" 
Who "Loves" You Enough To Hurt You 
And 
Desperately Wants To See You Dead 
In Trespasses And Sins!?! 

You Know You Wouldn't! 

Beloved, 

We Should All Whole-Heartedly Desire The Savior
The Lord Jesus Christ
Who So Loves Us That He Went Ahead 
And 
Died The Accursed Death On The Cross Of Calvary
To Save Us From Sin's Damnation! 

Think About The Distinction! 

Who Else Is Saying That They Love You!?! 

To Whom Are You Committing To Eternally Love!?! 

Is This Being The Lover Of Your Soul 
Purchased From Sin, Death, The Grave, And Hell!?! 

Are You Permitting Yourself To Be Arm-Candy For The Fake
The Wannabe God
The God-Fraud
The Father Of Lies 
To Be Suckered, Sullied, Scrambled, And Scorched!?! 

Thieves Come Only To Steal
And
To Joyfully Destroy!

Are You ... Body, Mind, And Spirit
Loved, Sheltered, Protected 
And
Covered By The Innocent Blood
And
Blessedly Headed For The Happy Home 
In Highest Heaven Above!?! 

Home Is Where The Heart Is!

Do You Know How You Are Standing!?! 

Do You Even Care!?! 

Think, Think, Think ...  

Are You "Living" Life With A "Lover" 
Who Holds You Through Doubt And Disbelief
Guilt And Fear
And 
Lack Of Faith In The Holy One!?! 

Are You Loving 
The Lover With The Greatest Love Of All
Who Offers You The Righteous White Robe 
And
The Gold Over-Comer's Crown
The Gold Harp
The New Name
A Place In The Father's House
A Plot Of Land To Build Your Own Country Home
And 
Eagle's Wings ... As Lightning Transport
To Nimbly Get Around The Universe Of God!?! 

Please Choose 
To Take The Eternal God At His Living, Holy, Word 
And
Dare, Boldly Dare, To Test The Spirits 
The Suitors For Your Loving Devotion!

Hurtful Love 
Is 
Burning Hatred! 

Holy Love 
Is 
Perfect Peace! 

Jesus Christ ... The Shepherd Of Rest
Is 
Peace 
Is 
Love 
And
He Always Saves!
 
Jesus Christ ... The King Of Glory
Is 
The Captain Of Our Salvation
And
To Him ... Alone
We Should Our Hearts Release
So That From Sin, Death, The Grave
And
Burning Hell
We Shall Forever Be Relieved!

He Forgets Not His Own!
He Sits High On The Eternal Throne!
His People Do Not Walk Alone!
Soon He Will Take Us To The Heavenly Home! 

Peace!

Follow Faith ... Not Foolishness!



 






The Same Three "Ifs" 
With Which Satan Tempted Our Lord Jesus 
To Sin Against Knowledge 
And
Common-Sense
We Must Boldly Meet 
And
Decidedly Overcome 
If
We Are To Enter The Eternal City By Right: 


IF You Are A Child Of God
Do Something To Satisfy Your Stomach!
 
IF You Are Presumptuous
Tempt Your Maker To Save You 
From Your Own Folly ... Your Own Lawlessness

And 

IF You
- A Child Of The All-Knowing
All-Seeing
Ever-Present God -
Are Greedy
For What Your Father Has Not Given To You
Indulge In False Aka Idol Worship To Get It Now
Because
You Want It Now
And
Will Not Be Denied By Anyone! 

Beloved, 

Wearing A Beautiful Dress-Coat 
Lined With Silk Soaked In Poison 
Will Kill You Just As Dead 
As A Straight Shot Of Poison! 

Satan ... Who Will Appear To You As An Angel Of Light
Is 
Still A Poisonous Serpent
A Roaring, Devouring Lion
The Lord Of Dung
The Father Of Lies 
And
A Murderer Who Venomously Hates You! 

Dare To Walk Within The Embracing, Eternal, Light Of 
The Lord Of Life
The King Of Love
Who Sacrificially Loves You Personally ... Intimately! 

Please, I Beseech Us All
Don't Seek To Scratch Every Itch 
Aka Don't Seek To Satisfy Ever Urge You Have 
Because 
Therein Is Sure Destruction, Death 
And 
Damnation! 

Follow Faith Not Foolishness! 

"Thus Saith The Lord!" 
Is 
Food Which Leads The Eater To A Fabulous Future! 
Enjoy The Feast That Fills And Frees: 
Don't Be Covetous! 

Peace!

BLOCKED PRAYERS: Base Behavior And Bastard Beliefs!








Why Are You Praying!?! 
To Whom Are You Praying!?! 
For What Are You Praying!?! 

Are Your Prayers For Yourself And For Others!?!
Are Your Prayers Selfless Or Selfish!?!
 
Are Your Prayers Being Heard By Your Father 
Who Is In Heaven 
Or Are Your Prayers Being Blocked 
Because 
They Are An Abomination To Almighty God 
Because Of Your Base Behavior 
And 
Bastard Beliefs!?! 

Are You Mixing Almighty God's Saving Truth 
With Fallen Man's Published Errors 
And
Calling Gross Idolatry The Gospel Of Salvation!?! 

Beloved, 

If The Lord Closed Your Eyes Today 
Sending You To Your Long Home
Effectively Closing Your Life Account 
And 
Signing Off On The Record Book Of 
The Deeds You Have Done In Your Fleshly Existence
Where Will You Spend Eternity!?! 

Are You Making Jesus Christ Your Strong Arm
Your Guardian
Your Guide
Your Stay Aka Your Hope, Help, Healer 
And 
Your Only Savior!?! 

Are You Living To Live Forever 
Or Living To Die Forever!?! 

Time Is Made For Change 
And
With Life Is Hope! 

Please, I Beseech Us All
Let Nothing That A Human Being Has Made
Said, Touched, Done
Or Has In Possession 
Cause You To Longingly Look To Them For Salvation
And 
Let Go Of Jesus Christ The Lord! 

Fallen Man Cannot Save Sinful Man 
Because 
Only Jesus Christ Saves! 

Hope And Faith Are Wings 
Which Die When We Die: 
Use Them Wisely! 


Peace With The Lord Christ 
Is 
Precious!

There Is No Reason For Sin!







We Would All Do Well 
To Understand, Accept
And 
Remember That 
There Is No Little Sin, Big Sin, Or Trivial Sin! 

We Will Bless Ourselves By Confession And Repentance 
Aka Forsaking Sin When We Take To Heart The Fact That 
The Lord Our Righteousness Despises Both Hereditary Sins 
Aka Born-With Tendencies To Particular Sins 
And
Cultivated Sin Aka Sin Practiced By Willful Desire! 

Neither Birth 
Nor Lustful, Hateful Desires
Need ... Nor Want 
Are Excuses For Indulging In Known Sin! 

Beloved, 

Let Us All Be Cautioned And Reminded That 
There Is No Reason To Sin 
And
There Is No Excuse For Sin! 

The Act Of Sinning Aka The Transgressing Of 
The Law Of Almighty God 
Is 
Straight-up Lawlessness! 

When We Indulge In Lawlessness 
Which Is Much The Same As Saying Like The Fool That 
There Is No God
We, In Willful Defiance Of The First Commandment
Make Ourselves God 
And 
"Give" Ourselves Life And Death Power 
Over Our Brethren And Companions In This Life! 

We All Have One Life To Live
One Hell To Avoid 
And
One Heaven To Gain! 

Tread Softly In The Presence Of The Living God 
By And Through Whom You Live 
And 
Breathe 
And 
Are Permitted To Live Each Day! 

If You Are Able To Keep Yourself Alive 
And 
Will Enter Heaven Under Your Own Steam
Do As You Please! 

If You Need Jesus Christ To Save You
Humble Yourself 
And
Daily Choose To Do What Is Good And Right: 
Bountiful Blessings Await You! 

Peace!

HAPPY SABBATH + Obedience Is An Absolute!








Disobedience Always Equals Dishonor
Disaster
And 
Death 
So Don't Fool Yourself By Saying That "It" Was Only 
A Little Thing! 

Life Is An Absolute: 
You're Either Living Or You're Dead! 

Faith Is An Absolute: 
You Either Have Complete Faith ... Trust
Or You Are Indulging Total Doubt! 

Love Is An Absolute: 
You're Either Loving Or You're Hating! 

The Lights Are Either On Or Off: 
Light And Darkness Do Not Co-Exist

And

Lest We Forget To Remember
Obedience Is An Absolute: 
You, Me, We Cannot Do The Lord's Will 
And
Walk In Our Own Way 

And

That Is Why Our Lord Plainly Says: 

"If You Love Me
Keep My Commandments!" 

He Also Says To All The King Saul's Of This Earth: 

"To Obey Is Better Than To Sacrifice!" 

Because

DISobedience Always Results In A Debit
A Sacrifice
A Charge Against Us
Body, Mind, And Spirit! 

Worse Still, Disobedience 
Is 
An Aphrodisiac Which Sharpens The Taste Buds 
For Some "Tasty" Little Disobedience Treat
And 
A Little Bigger Plate Of Disobedience
And Then 
All-Day, Every Day, Bold Partaking Of
The All-You-Can-Eat Buffet Of Disobedience! 

Be Ye Warned ...

Repentance Brings Ready Forgiveness 
But
The Consequences For Disobedience Remain! 

Beloved, 

By Almighty God's Great And Glorious Grace
Please Choose To Nip
Neuter
Maroon
And 
Kill Disobedience With The Two-Edged Sword 
Aka "Thus Saith The Lord!" 
Aka "It Is Written!" 
It Worked For Our Lord Jesus Christ 
So Let It Work For You Now, Today! 

Peace!
