HAPPY SABBATH + THE FEARSOME FOURSOME: Visiting The Land Of Regret!







In The Land Of Regret 
Is
The Fearsome Foursome 
Coulda, Woulda, Shoulda, And Did Not! 

Their Music Is Piteous To Hear
And 
All Are Moved 
Who To Their Dread Performances Lend An Ear! 

Beloved, 

All Who Are In The Land Of Regret Are There 
Because Of 
Decisions That They Could Have Made
Would Have Made
Should Have Made
And 
Did Not Make! 

Visitors To Regret Regularly Make Pilgrimage 
To Ma Barker's Pity Party 
To Be Not So Gently Reminded That 
Hindsight Aka Look-Back 
Is 
Always 20/20! 

They Learn That Ungodly Fear 
Is 
The Costly Non-Refundable Ticket 
To The Experience Of A Lifetime 
In The Land Of Regret! 

Every Unnerved Visitor Says 
"If Only!" 
When They Suddenly Come Upon The Handiwork Of 
The Undertaker No Do-Over 
And 
His Helpers Come-Again And No-Body 
Who Lay Out Unfulfilled Dreams
Dashed Hopes
Broken Promises
And 
Missed Opportunities 
For Decidedly Uncomfortable But Necessary 
Private Viewing! 

Dear Ones, 

Be Encouraged! 

The Prayer Of Faith Calls Dr. Jesus, The Great Physician 
Who, By His Sweet Holy Spirit Who Comforts
Corrects, And Leads Into All Truth
Will Lead You Back To The Land Of Hope, Help, And Healing 
Where, With Cooperative Obedience, Love, And Endurance
You Will Reach Living Way 
And 
By The Desire Of Your Heart For Christ
You Board The One-Way, Only Train 
To Surpassing Glory! 

Please Follow The Good Shepherd's Leading 
And 
Be Safe Knowing That His Guards Are Holy Angels 
Excelling In Strength! 

Please Choose To Learn From Your Experience: 
Give Your Burden Of Regret To The Master Aka The Savior 
Who Will Turn It Into A Stepping Stone For Your Feet! 

Prayerfully Keep Faith First! 

Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Almighty God's Grace Has Guarantees!






Are You A Good-Times Christian!?! 

Are You Gallant, Going For God In The Good Times
But 
Go Against Him When Things Get Tough!?! 

Are You Perhaps Playing Footsie With Our Adversary The Devil 
Who Has Somehow Convinced You That 
He Has The Best Good Times To Show You In The Here And Now 
While Saying That That Savior Jesus 
Only Wants To Use And Abuse You 
With His Long-Haul, Good Times-Bad Times
Forever-Relationship Nonsense!?! 

Beloved, 

Good Times Of The Fleshly Persuasion Don't Last 
But 
Good People Living For Jesus Christ Truly Do! 

Plastered Party People 
Pass Out In Pee After Their Perverse Playing! 

Almighty God's Grace 
Grooms And Guides His Good People For And His Glory! 

With Which Camp Would You Like To Enlist!?! 

Party To The Pit 
Or 
Endure To Eternity!?! 
Bask Now And Burn Later 
Or 
Hurt Now And Heal Later!?! 
Sin Now And Suffer Later 
Or 
Suffer Now And Sing Later!?! 

Decisions, Decisions! 

Satan ... With No Future: He's Eternally Damned
"Offers" You The I-Feel 
Aka Feel The Aiieee!! 

You, Me, We Are Guaranteed Grace
Mercy, Love, Truth, Faith 
And 
Peace 
By Christ Jesus Of The Sure House! 

Trust The True And Living God! 

Any Questions!?! 

Peace Be Upon You!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: The Valley Of Sorek + PRAYER: Pity Us, Lord, In Our Wretched Condition!







You, Beloved, Are In The Valley Of Sorek 
Aka Valley Of The Choice! 

You Must Choose Between Good And Evil
Right And Wrong
War And Peace
Faith And Doubt
Honor And Deceit
Jesus Christ And Satan 
And
Heaven And Hell! 

Will You Trust The Truth
Believe The Promise
And
Walk In The Light Of Life 

Or

Wearing Putrid Pride 
By That Designer To The Fallen Stars, Snatch deJoy
Turn Left On Tek-A-Chance
And 
Dance Indelicately On Broadway And Blight 
For New Nickels 
And 
Old Pyrite Nuggets Aka Fool's Gold  
Redeemable Only At What-If, If-Only
And
Woulda, Coulda, Shoulda ... Did Not!?! 

Open Your Eyes! 

Regret ... Repentance
Is 
An Horrible Thing 
When Viewed Through Once-Deliberately-Closed Eyes
And 
Even Worse When Hope 
Is 
Dead 
And 
Mercy Is Departed! 

We Are Called To Be Wise Unto Salvation 
And Not
Self-Satisfaction! 

Dare To And Be Different! 
Dare To Walk Humbly Before The Lord Of Life
And
Invite The Spirit Of Truth 
To Be Your Soul's Sole Companion 
And 
Forever-Faithful Guide! 

Choose Love, Light, Faith
Truth, Peace, Heaven ... Jesus Christ: 
The Spirit Says "Come!" 

PRAYER:

We Desire Above All Else
To Get Home Safely
And
In Jesus Christ's Holy Name, Father
We Humbly Plead 
Remembering That We Are Dust 
And
That It Is By Your Sovereign Will That
We Live And Breathe
And
Have Any Being! 

Pity Us, Lord, In Our Wretched Condition! 
Open Our Eyes, Ears, Our Hearts!
Cleanse Our Tongues! 
Heal Us From All Unrighteousness 
And
Bless Us To Serve You
To Praise Jesus 
And
To Glorify Your Great Name! 

We Need Help, Dear Father
And
We Plead Our Poverty! 
Please Make The Way Plain 
An
 Help Us To Walk Boldly
Bravely And Unashamedly Upon It! 

You Are God ... Alone: 
We Worship You! 
Have Mercy And Bless Us
Because You Are Love!
Let The Spirit Fall Upon Us
And
Rise Up Mightily In Us
To Bless Us To Willingly Do Your Will!
Please Come For Us Soon!
We Need You!
AMEN!

HAPPY SABBATH + CLIMB: Jesus Christ Is The Mountain!


Sing Out My Soul to The Lord: HAPPY SABBATH + Jesus, Lover Of My ...


Nobody
Can Climb A Glass Mountain!

Everybody May Climb The Rock Of Ages
Jesus Christ The Lord
Who Breaks Down The Idolatrous Kingdoms Of This Earth
Smashing Them To Be As The Chaff Of
The Summer Threshing Floor
And
Destroying Them Completely
Never To Rise Again
To Trouble The Hearts Of His Saints Again
Or Any More!

The Stock Of Life ... 

Brethren, Beloved

Today We Visit The Store
And 
There We Shall Purchase 
Our Living Life And Travelling To Zion Supplies:
In The Appointed Day ... By Our Choice 
We Shall Either Eternally Live
Or Eternally Die!

Please Be Advised, My Dear Ones
That The Stock Of Life Store
Has Two Spirits From Which To Choose!
Both Of Them Are 100 Proof
But
Only One Of Them 
Is 
Distilled From Eternal Holy Truth!

The Store Of Life Also Has A Table
For Those Who Like Care Packages!
The Care Packages Are Two:

One Is For Those Who Like The Finer Things Of Life
And
Bears The Glitzy Gold Entertwined CC Brand Called 
Corporeal Comforts
And
It Has A Flagon Of That Decadent Fragrance Called Delicious Doubt
And
The Eye Wash Of The Stars From DeBauche And DeKay!

The  Other Care Package 
Is 
Simply Wrapped In Linen ... Glistening White
Which Has A Blue Border Above A Swag Of 
Pomegranates And Bells With A Single Starred Gold Crown!

It's A Very Popular Item For Browsers 
But
Very Few Shoppers Actually Purchase It
Because
It Has An Overwhelming Scent Of Curatives And Cleansers!

The Store Says That Those Who Buy It
Are Persons In Something Called "Need Of Cleansing!"
Who Specifically Ask For It By The Brand Names 
Prince Of Peace!
Perfect Peace!
Pray And Plead!
Promises And Power!
Pride Is Past!
Or 
"The One With The PP Logo 
With The Falling Red Droplet!"

The Last Thing I Want To Draw To Our Attention 
Is
The Free Gift Given To All Shoppers At The Stock Of Life! 

It Has The Strangest Name:

Default Position ... By Choice! 

That's An Oxymoronic Name! 

Default Position Is A Do Nothing Jobbie
And Choice Is An Active I-All-Up-In-This Maneuver! 

You're Right! 

We Are Free-Will Free-Choice Agents
And
We Have A Responsibility To Our Maker
Which Precludes Us From Going To Our Dusty Beds
Unwitting Or Unknowing Of 
The Final Decision We Have Made! 

We Are What We Eat!
We Decide Where We Sleep!
We Taste What We Speak!
We Associate With Whoever Does Our Hearts Treat
And
There Is No No-Decision Default Position! 

Simply Put
We Choose Our Poison
Our Passion
Our Position
And
Our Final Possession!
We Choose Our Door
We Choose Our Own Grand Exit
And
For Each Of Us 
It Is No Chore! 

Beloved, 

Satan Calls His Followers
To Climb The Glass Mountain
Which Has No Footholds
No Handholds
No Waters Still
No Pastures Green
No Bread Of Life
No Oil Of Gladness
No Food For Thought!

He Offers To All Unwary ... And Willing
The Thrill Of The Spill
The Thrill Of The Chase
The Heights Of Indulgence
And
The High Life With The Low Light
At The Bar Of Beguilement Where
Disappointment Sings The Blues! 

When We Climb Jesus Christ The Mountain
We Start In The Valley Of Decision
And
As We Walk The Lonesome Road
The Path To Life
To Ascend To The Glory Road
With Jesus Leading And Feeding
We Ascend Above Worldly Success
Self-Satisfaction
And
Ain't It Fun! 

We Travel East!
On The Savior We Feast
And 
Rise Above Self-Actualization
And
As We Climb Higher And Higher
To The Heights Unknown
Where His Outstretched Hands Call Us To Land 
And 
To Rest A Little While
We Are Refreshed To Take The Last Mile 
And
Energized By The Distant, Plain
Not Distorted View Of Beulah Land
And Ever Believing 
We Walk Wisely Unto Soul Salvation 
To See Eternal Life
Through The All-Seeing Eyes
Through The All-Knowing Heart
With The Ever Present Teacher Guide
With Whom We Shall Ever More Abide! 

Choose Now!
Choose Wisely 
And
May The God Of All Grace
Be Merciful Unto Us! 

A Charge To Keep ...

In The Name Of Prince Shiloh ... The Only One Holy
When Asked For Your Decision
Please Choose The Cup Of Blessing
Which Holds The Peace ... The Perfect Peace
That Passes Human Understanding
That Infinitely Provides Rest 
Unto Our Hungering-For-Him
And 
Thirsting-For-Righteousness Souls! 

Dare To Choose To Love 
And 
Serve The Gracious Lord! 
I May Suggest
But
All Decisions Taken Are Solely Of 
The Persuasion Called Yours!

EMULATION: Zealous And Jealous For Whom!?!

The Question Is A Vitally Important One:
Whom Should I, A Committed Christian, Please!?!

What Are The Options!?!

The Options ... My Only Options Are
Please Me Aka Please My Self, My Flesh
Or 
Serve The Spirit Of The Eternal God
By Whom We Are Sealed Against The Great Day!

Wow!
I Don't Envy You!

You Don't Envy Me!?! 
Brother, That's Truly Rich!
I Don't Envy You!

Me!?!

Yup, Buddy!
You've Got Yourself The Same Options
And 
So Does Every Other Living Soul On This Earth!

Oh, Dear! 
But, How!?!
Why!?!

All People That On Earth Do Dwell
Fall Into Two Categories
Which Shall Be The Only Two Classes Of Persons
Who Shall Be ... And Have Been 
On The Earth Since The Beginning Of Time:


  • Those For Jesus Christ The Lord
  •      Those For Satan The God-Fraud
  •      Those Who Elevate Self
  • Those Who Elevate The Savior 
  • Those Who Live In Heavenly Light
  •      Those Who Walk In Damnation's Darkness 
  • Those Who Love Truth
  •      Those Who Love And Tell Lies
  • Those Living With The Faith Of Jesus
  •      Those Living With The Doubt Of The Devil
  • Those Who Shall Be Saved From Sin
  •      Those Who Will Be Lost In Sin
  • Those Who Will Be Eternally Blessed And
  •      Those Who Will Be Eternally Damned

To Put It Plainly
There Will No Switzerland-Class
No Neutral Class When Christ Comes!
Everybody Will Walk Under Their Own 
Personally-Selected And Approved Banner
And
They Will Not Be Able To Change Their Minds
For Their Choices Will Be Fixed And Final
And
They Are Sealed In Their Decision
In The Books Of Heaven!

This Is Serious Business!

You Telling Me!
The Decisions We Make Today
May Be Our Final Decisions
So I Suggest To Us All
Confessing And Repenting Of All Known Sin
And
Denying Self, Sin And Satan
And
Accepting The Gift Of Almighty God
- The Life Of Christ -
So That In The Day Of Reckoning 
- The Day Of Accounts -
We Will Not Be With The Rabid, Hardened
Unrepentant, Bold Sinners Forever Lost!
We Must Count The Cost!

If This Is Such A Big Deal
Why, Then, Are All The "Experts"
Even The Priests And Pastors
The "Wellness" Experts
Pushing The Idea ... The Ideal
That Self Must Not Be Denied
That Self Must Be Nurtured!?!

Oh, Let Me Count The Ways:


  • Lie Of The Devil 
  • Filthy Lucre 
  • Power
  • Position 
  • Prestige
  • Greed
  • Lust

And

This Is All So That Satan 
The Father Of Lies
The Arch-Deceiver
That Murderer Most Foul
Will Be Able To Raise Up An Army Against The Lord
Even As He Throws It In The Lord's Face
That We Don't Love Him
And
That His Immeasurable Sacrifice For Each One
And 
All Of Us
Was Totally For Nothing!

Satan Hates The Power Of The Christ 
Who Was On Calvary's Cruel Cross
And
He Hates That There Are Those Of Us ... Faithful 
Who Willingly Choose To Deny Our Selves
For The Lord Christ Who Denied Himself
So That We Might Live Again 
Immortalized, Glorified, Incorruptible
And
Return To The Father's House
As In Go Home To Be With Our Heavenly Father 
Who Really Desires 
Our Purchased-And-Adopted-As-Children 
Personal Presence There!

Brethren,

Almighty God Loves
And
Condemned Satan Hates 
And
Redeemed Man Must Choose His Very Own Fate!
We Either Love The Holy God Who Does Create
Or Follow Satan, The Devil
Who Well And Truly Decimates!

Please Recognize That There Is A Difference
Between Loving God And Following Satan!

Man Follows Satan Because Of Sinful Self
And A Carrot On A Stick!
If We Truly Love The Lord
We Will Deny Self And Abhor Sin
And 
We Will Follow Him Faithfully
With Or Without Reward!

Yup!
I'd Say You Got It Right!

We Need To Be Zealous For Salvation
And Jealous For The Name Of The Eternal God! 

Don't Forget, Brother
Zealous And Jealous Also Work For Satan
Who Desires To Be Worshipped As The Holy God!

What's Our Bottom Line, Then!?! 

Read, Search, Dig
Pray, Plead
Work, Watch
Endure
Be Obedient 
Be Faithful
Be True
And
Never Give Up
Because
Jesus Christ Is Blessing, Nurturing
Keeping
And
Sanctifying 
Those Who Are To Him True! 

With All That We Have Said
My Decision
My Only Option
Is
To Serve The Holy Spirit Of Truth! 

Indeed! 

Heaven Awaits Christ's Faithful
And I ... By His Grace
Intend To Be Among Them! 

I'm With You ... With Jesus! 

AMEN!!! 

I Charge Us All, Brethren:
Do Not Be Too Wise 
To Believe The Living Word Of The Eternal God!

DESIRE: Decision

Temporal Things 
And 
Eternal Desires
Are Neither Family, Friends, Nor Enemies!
They Do Not Associate
And
They Cannot Commiserate
But
The Love Of One Or The Other Can Surely Dictate
Even Legislate
The Unrepentant Sinner
And
The Converted Saint's Fate!

Brethren, On This Grave Matter
We Must Needs Cogitate
And, That I Must Urgently Stress
Before It Is Time Too Late!

Who Wants
- Better Put -
Who Desires To Walk ... By Right
Through The Assigned-By-Perfected-Character
Pearl Gate
After Time Has Met Its Termination Date!?!

I Do! Do You!?!

What Have You Given Up
Set Aside
Put Away!?! 

What Are You Accepting
Rejecting!?!

For What Do You Pray!?!

Are You Walking On The Upward Way
Or Running On Broadway!?! 

Are Praying
Or Preying!?! 

About Your Character Being Molded
What Will The Holy God Say!?!

In For A Penny!
In For A Pound!
Are You Walking To Heaven
Or
Are You For Hell Falling Headlong!?!

Are You Grace And Faith
Plump Wheat Not Chaff
Or
Are You Doubt And Disbelief
Grapes Of Wrath!?! 

Are You On The Lord's Side
Or Are You In Need Of A Balaam's Ass
To Check You In Your Folly!?! 
The Angel Of Death Is Armed!
He Will Not Let You Walk Blithely Past!

Think ... 
There's Hell Involved In Not Knowing The Savior!
There Is Heaven To Be Gained When Jesus Christ's Faith
In Your Nostrils
Is 
Of A Sweet Savor!

Do Not In Front Of Satan Quiver!
Jesus Christ Shall All His Chosen People
Spectacularly, Gloriously, Deliver!

Desire Dictates Decision!
On Whose Side Will Your Decision Fall!?!



Despise Sin And Self
And
Deny Satan, The God-Fraud
And
Fill Your Heart 
With The Sure Promises 
Of
And
Love For
The Creator
The Eternal Holy God
Jesus Christ The Lord!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Liberty Of Conscience: Personal Choice


Satan Is Plotting!
Satan Is Rapaciously Gunning
For Those Who Are Not

For Residence In Eternity 
Personally Planning!


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

The Living God 
Gave Mankind Free Will
And
Free Choice
And
As Confessed Children Of The Living Kingdom
We Must Make The Decision
For 
Jesus Christ The King
Our Savior, Lord, And God!

The Suitors For Our Affections Are Many
But
Only One Can Save Us!

Our Decisions Are Personal 
And
Eternal In Consequence! 

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



This Is Crunch Time!!


The Eternal God Has Given Plain Evidence Of
His Great Sacrificial Love For Me Personally
And
For All Humanity
And
I Have Decided That ...

If I Am To Be Used By Anyone
I Choose To Be Used By The Lord Christ!
If I Must Refuse Association With Someone
I Choose To Refuse Association With 
The Accuser Of The Brethren
The Known Murderer From The Beginning 
The Callous-Minded Destroyer Of Irreplaceable Lives!

If I Must Walk With Someone
I Choose To Walk With The Forever Friend!
If Must Walk With Someone Who Is More Than Myself
I Choose To Let My Walk Be With 
The One Who Preserves My Life Now
And
Who Will Come To Redeem My Soul From Destruction
When This Old World Shall Meet Its Known End!

If I Must Work For And With Someone Great
I Choose To Work For And With
The King Of Glory
The Light Of The World!
If I Must Be A Recruiter For The One
With Whom I Am Employed
I Choose To Be The Recruiter For The Only One Holy
In Whom Is Joy Unalloyed!

Satan Is Roaring!

I Choose The Life With The Savior!
I Crave His Life Now
His Work Here
And
His Universal Pension Plan Later!
I Choose To Accept His Present Perks
And
I Look Forward With Certain Hope
To His Rewards In The Hereafter!

I Choose To Live With Love!
I Choose To Walk In Faith!
I Choose To Accept Available Grace For The Day
And
Free Mercy
So That I Do Not With Bold Presumption
Indulge In Own-Sin Self-Pay!

I Choose To Accept Deprivation Aka Personal Sacrifice Now
To Be In Accord With The Holy One
Whose Personal Sacrifice
Gives Me Soon-Coming Eternal Life!

I Choose To Reason With The Lord
Instead Of Blindly Following The Dark Lord Aka Satan
The Known Evil One
King Fraud!

I Have Chosen Life In The Glow Of The Father Of Lights!
I Have Chosen Abundant Living With The Lord Of Life!
I Accept The Truth For The Ages
And 
I Humbly And Boldly Follow Christ
Whose Character Is Transcribed
In The Good Book's Pages!

Satan Against Holy Truth Rages!

I Accept From The Heart Of God
The Love That Won't Let Me Go
And
I Deny The Desire For The Fripperies Of The Liar
- The Father Of Lies -
Whose Only Job Offer To Man
Is 
The Job Called Snow!

I Must Have A Spirit Indwell Me
So I Choose The Spirit That Is
The Holy Spirit Of God
Who Will Guide Me
Chide Me
Lead Me Into All Truth
And
Comfort Me In Life
Until I'm Long In The Tooth
And
Until I Face Death
Or
Until The Creator-Redeemer 
For His Faithful Children Come!

The Terminal Question ...

Satan Can't Give Me A Satisfying Biscuit
So Why Would I Permit Him To Take From My Hand
Jesus Christ's Gift To Me Of My Daily Bread
The Bread Of Heaven
The Water Of Life
Sure Salvation
Redemption From Strife!?!

Am I A Fool!?!

If I Must Be A Fool
I Choose To Join Apostle Paul
And
Be A Fool For The Lord Christ!

The Night Is Coming And I Must Work ...

Since I Must Work
I Choose To Work For The Lord Of Life!
I Choose To Work For The One
Who Gave Me My Life
Who Maintains Me
Who Sustains Me
Who Heals Me
Who Seals Me
The One With The Bruised Heel
The One Who By His Own Death
Purchased Me Access Reach Grasp
And
Hold
On Eternal Life
The One Who Crushed The Head Of
The Serpent Of Old
And
Who For My Enduring Faith In Him
Shall Give Me By His Own Hand
The Crown Of Life
The Circlet Of Purest Gold!

Satan Is Damned!

Following My Life's Leader ...

I Am A Sheep
Obedient To The Lord Christ
Striving For Hill Zion
Almighty God's Protected Fold!


How Does Your Conscience Rest!?!

Will You On Heaven's Table Land Stand!?!
