B.C.W.: The Packaged Deal

Eat The Bread!
Make The Connection
And
Witness To The World!
This, Brethren
Is 
Your Employment
When You Choose To Walk With The Lord!

The Bread ...

The Bread Is The Word Of God
Pure, Clean And True!
It Satisfies The Hungering Soul
And
Always Blesses You!
That's Bible Truth!

The Connection ...

The Connection Is Your Communication
Your Prayers To The Lord
Honest, Heartfelt, Willing!
They Take You Up To The Lord Of Life
And
Your Urge To Sin They Are Killing!

The Witness ...

The Witness ... Your Witness To The World
Tells The Good News To Friends And Others!
It Tells Of What The Lord Has Done For You!
It Encourages Them To Take That Holy Hand
So That They Will Be Blessed Also
And
It Also Helps You In Your Walk Of Faith To Grow!

When We Eat Bread Of Life
We Taste And Chew And Savor!
What We Savor, We Swallow!
What We Swallow, We Digest!
What We Digest, We Are Nurtured Thereby

And

Because The Word Speaks Of Confession And Repentance
We Must Do Our Due Diligence
And
Dig Up And Cast Out The Dead Works
And
Fill Up On More Of What Gives Real Life
So That We, Fortified, May Win 
Aka Emerge Victorious
In The Mortal Strife!

When We Pray
We Acknowledge Jesus Christ As Lord And King
Creator, Redeemer, Hope, Help
Savior ... Everything
And
Trusting The Love That Will Not Let Us Go
We Bind Ourselves To Him Who Paid Our Price
And
In So Doing
We Give Short Shrift To Him Of The Demonic Device!

When We Witness To The World
We Cement Our Own Faith
And
We Give Strength To The Word That
The Lord Of Life Took Our Disgrace
And
Blessed Us And Cleaned Us
And
Clothed Us Anew
And
Has Taken Us Into His Dwelling
Where All Enduring Residents 
Are Grace-Filled, Heart-Holy 
Loving, Kind And Ever True!

Full Disclosure
Is The Way Of The Lord ...

Real Christians Will Really Suffer: Expect Suffering!
The Light Afflictions That We Suffer Are Appointed By The Lord 

And 

Are For Our Eternal Good 

And 

For His Glory

And 
Should Be Patiently Borne 
Because

The Lord Glorious
Has Promised To Never Leave Us Nor Forsake Us
And

He Has Given Unto Us The Holy Spirit Of Truth 

For Our Personal, Physical, And Spiritual Comfort! 
We Will Grow In Grace
So That We Shall, In Peace, See His Lovely Face!

The Same Cannot Be Said For Those Given Over To Evil 

Who Shall See Themselves In Desolation

Ruined ... Alone

Bereft Of Any Comfort For Their Wayward Souls!
They Shall Never Know 
The Peace That Pervades The Heavenly Home!

Understand And Accept This ...

Afflictions Point Us To The Word 
And 

Keep Us From Straying! 

Trust The Lord ... Wholly!
Take His Holy Hand ... Solely! 
Glory Awaits The Faithful ... Surely! 

In Jesus Christ

Is

Our Perfect Peace!

PRAYER: Father, I Desire The Spotless Garment!

Father,
I Need You!
I Bless You!
I Praise Your Holy Name!
Please Help Me, I Beseech You
Not To Profane Your Holy Name!

I Understand And I Accept, Dear Lord
That To Walk With You Requires
Unwavering Faith
And So I Ask You To Help Me
Not To Behave Like The One Insubstantial  
Hovering 
Between Faith And Doubt
And Earning For Myself The Mark That Says 
From Heaven, I Am Left Out!

I Believe That You Are God Almighty, Holy
Eternal King, Divine
Master, Savior, Redeemer, Friend
My Hope For Surpassing Glory
My Joy, My All 
To Life's Surely Coming End!

Please Help Me To Hold On To My Hope In Christ
And Not Be Disturbed By Those Who Prosper
Doing Evil 
And Employing The Demonic Device
And Living Large And Long, Unmolested
And Boldly, Basely, Begrudging The Lord Of Life
Even A Little Thanks-Filled Song!

Father,
I Desire The Spotless Garment
That Comes From Assimilating
The Holy Character Of The Lord Christ
And I Beg You, Beseech You
Please Help Me To Walk Right In Your Sight
Daily Confessing And Repenting Of Known Sin
So That I Will Live With My Savior
In The Land Of The Blessed
Where No Needs A Nightgown!

No Night!
All Is Delight!
No Sorrow, Shame, Or Fear!
Joys Evermore!
That Land With No Cares
Where Mansions For The Faithful Are Being Prepared
Is Where I Desire To Be With You
So Please Help Me To Be To You
Enduringly Faithful, Willingly Obedient
And Forever True!
Help Me To Maintain The Upward Look!

I Thank You, My Father
For Hearing And For Answering The Prayer Of Faith
For I Ask All In Jesus Christ's Holy Name!
Please Come Soon!
I Love You!
AMEN!

HAPPY SABBATH: Soldiers, Sailors, Passengers, Prisoners + PRAYER: Draw Me Near, Dear Lord!

Soldiers Sailors
Passengers Prisoners
All Were Headed The Same Way!
Soldiers Sailors
Passengers Prisoners
All For The Trip
- In Some Crucial Way -

Did Indeed Pay!

Soldiers Were Guarding!
Passengers Were Playing!
Prisoners Were Praying Heartfelt Prayers
And
Sailors Were Indulging Back-Breaking Work
When The Winds Of Strife Suddenly Went Rogue
And
Acted Totally Berserk!

Your Ship Runs Aground Near An Isle!

Soldiers Hated Passengers
Who Despised Sailors
Who Held Prisoners In Contempt
Who Lifted Up The Lord Christ
Who ... To Save Our Lives
To Restore Us To The Father
Destroyed The Devil

(The Day Of Finalities Soon To Come)
And
The Demonic Device
And
Bade All To Give The Great God Glory
So That They Could Attend The Glorious Banquet
Where
The Presence Of The Tree Of Life
And
The Water Of The River Of Life
In The Presence Of The Eternal God
- In Whom Is Our Life -
Makes The Meal Majestic
And
The Company Fantastically Pure!

All There In The Banquet Had Taken ... Avidly
The Only Known Sin Cure!

Everybody Must Make The Journey!
The "How!?!" Is The Way Perplexing!

Will You Be A Marshalling Soldier!?!
Will You As A Sailor Ever Seeking Adventure 

Cause The Transport To Go!?!
Or
Will You As A Devoted Prisoner For Christ
A Noted Enemy Of Haughty Princes
Scribes Priests And Tenant Kings
Be Borne Away To Answer Charges
Even Though You Are Man Innocent
Innocent

And
Never For Self Serving
Never For Self Seeking!?! 

Will You As A Passenger Of Life

Be Carried Along On The Effort Of Others
Catered To
Elevated

And
Praised
Only To End Up In The Chaotic Convention
Because
You Pridefully Choose
Not To Give The Lord Christ
Even The Merest Mention!?!

The Ship In Which You Sail 

Is 

Your Life!
The Storm Of Strife Is The Season Of Change And Decay!
The Cargo On Your Ship Is That Which You Hold Dear
That Which Anchors You To This World!
The Rocks Upon Which Your Ship Runs Aground
Is 

The Moment Of Decision:

Abandoned Sinful Living ... Now

And

Sure Damnation ... Later

Or

Abundant Life In Christ ... Now

And

Secure Eternal Life ... Later!

Fate 

Or

Faith!

Those Who Kindly Help You
On The "Desert" Isle
Are Those Who Have Never Heard 

The Word Of Truth
That You Have In Your Heart
That You Have As A Blessing 

To Their Longing Hearts To Give! 

The Viper In The Wood That 

You Were Attempting To Use To Burn To Get Warmth
Is 

A Sharp Deadly Barb Of Satan
Seeking To Bring You Down
And
By Fear-Mongering To Keep Others Down
Who Were Willing To Hear Your Testimony
And
To Call The Holy God Near
And
Make Him In Each Dreary Life 

The Holy God Most Dear!

Your Lived Life 

Is 

Your Witness
Unadulterated
Unchallenged 

And
To Angels And To Men ... Exposed!

Your Hand Either Helps Or Hurts!
Your Voice Either Blesses
Or
Utters A Vile Curse!

Your Feet Either Walk Holy
Or
Kick Those Who Do!

Your Mind Is Either A Steel Trap
Sealing In The Word Of Truth
Or
A Booby Trap Set
To Despoil Others
To Build For The Enemy Of Souls
- That Accuser Of The Brethren -
A Troop For Whom Disobedience And Damnation
Are Truly Unwise Goals!

Soldier Sailor
Passenger Prisoner
All Men Fulfill All Stages
But
Only Those Who Are Prisoners For Jesus Christ
Shall Enjoy Eternal Life!

Which Role Are You Executing Today!?!
Is Jesus Christ Your Only Savior
Or
Are You Indulging
Own-Sin Self-Pay!?!

Are You On The King's Highway!?!
What, Now, Do You Say!?!

PRAYER:

Fix Me, Lord

And

Fix My Mind! 

Help Me Never Your Aid

Nor Your Word To Decline!

Help Me To Walk In The Ways Of

Truth And Righteousness 

And

Please Let The Holy Spirit's Presence In Me

Be Always Uppermost In My Consciousness!

I Desire, Lord

To Be A Prisoner Of The Lord Christ

Ever Willing To Deny The Liar

And

To Reject The Demonic Device!

I Have No Desire To Just Be A Passenger 

To Just Sail Placidly Through Life

Unaffected By The Call To Change Direction

To Set Aside Self

And

To Choose Jesus Christ The Lord

For That Would Mark Me As A Friend To The World

An Enemy Of God

And

Deny Me The Right To Enter The Holy City

As A Possessor Of Eternal Life! 

With You, Lord

I Desire To Be In Accord!

I Will To Be A Soldier For Christ

Marching Under The Banner Of

The King Of Love

The Prince Of Peace

The Shepherd Of Rest

The Lord Of Life

The Righteous Judge

The Rewarder Of Man

Who Paid My Price

To Free Me From The Curse Of Sin

So That At Peace With My Creator

My Lord And My God 

I Will Be Daily Living

As I The Good News

To The World Am Telling!

I Fear You, Lord

After The Godly Sort

So Please Help Me, I Beseech You

To Have For The Devil

"Thus Saith The Lord!" 

As My Constant Retort!

Help Me To Deny Temptation Forcefully

The First Time It Appears

So That There Is No Repeat

So That I Will Please Him

Who On The Cruel Cross

All My Sin

Did Willingly Bear!

I Am Child Of The King!

I Am Loved!

I Am Blessed!

Father,

Please Bless Me To Be A Blessing

And

For The Cause Of Christ To Be A Success!

I Bless You!

I Need You!

I Trust You!

To Be Obedient Is My Vow!

I Love You Gracious Father!

Draw Me Nearer!

Draw Me Nearer Right Now!

In Jesus Christ's Holy Name

I Pray And Plead!

AMEN.

PRAYER: Forgive Me, Father, For Causing My Savior Pain...!

Father Of The Faithful,
Shepherd Of The Blessed
I Come Now Before You, Lord
Willingly
My Known Sins To Confess!

I Do Not Seek To Make Excuse
Because
Father, I Have None!
I Come Before You With A Contrite Heart
Penitent, Sorrowing
Knowing That There Is Nothing About Sinning
That I Or My Brethren Can Ever Call Fun!

Forgive Me, Lord
My Trespasses!
My Transgressions!
My Iniquities!
Forgive Me For Causing My Savior Pain
And
Help Me Never To Do These Things Again!

Father,
I Desire To Be A Good Student
In The School Of The Lord Christ
So That I May Gain The Eternal Education
As I Learn To Recognize And Walk Away From
That That Is The Demonic Device!

Father,
I Desire To Be A Good Servant
Willing
Able
Ready To Do Your Blessed Will!
Help Me, Lord, In My Labor Of Love
Your Holy Will In My Life To Fulfill!

Father,
I Desire To Be A Good Child
Listening
Honoring
Loving
Obeying
Ever Ready To Harken To Your Still Voice!
Help, Lord, Please Help Me To Give Back To You
My Free Will
And
My Free Choice!

Today Is The Day, Father
That You Have Made!
Please Help Me To Use It Wisely
Until The Day That The Breath In Me
With Finality Fades!

I Give You, Lord, My Worship!
I Give You, Father, My Praise!
I Give You All The Glory And Honor
And That
Without Deceitful Display!

Remember The Children Of The Kingdom
Those Near And Those Far Away
And
Bless Them With All Blessing
So That They Will Stand Firmly
In The Son Of Righteousness
So That They Will Not With 
Their Souls' Salvation For A Mess Of Pottage
Make The Faithless Play!

Thank For You For Your Available Grace!
Thank For The Mercy That Is Always Free!
Thank For Your Sacrifice Of Pure Love
Which Gives Us All Who Are Willing
A Permanent Home In The Celestial Home Above!

May The Holy Angels Protect Us!
May The Holy Spirit Guide, Chide And Indwell
And
May We All With Hearts For The Lord Christ
Cooperate Willingly, Fully, And Prayerfully
As We Look With Faith To Mount Zion
To Behold The Lamb Of God
Tribe Judah's Conquering Lion!

Please Accept My Prayer, Father Beloved
Because
I Offer It Up In The Name Of The Holy One
In The Most Holy Place Of The Heavenly Sanctuary
Interceding
For All Who In Him Do Believe!
I Love You, Lord!
Have Mercy And Bless!
AMEN.

The Character Of Our Lives ...!

Will The Fabric Of Your Character
Stand
Under The Test Of Trial Or
Will The Shaking Up And Down Of Stress
The Pull And Push To Acquire Things
That Don't Bless
Cause You
To Become A Decidedly Immoral Mess
AND
Leave You A Failure
One Who Does Not God's Kingdom Bless
Because You Refused
To Less Go Of Self
AND
Chose Instead
With Self-Confidence
AND
Self-Actualization
To Run Your Own Show!?!
Unrepentant Sinners Do Not Upward Grow!

If You Were A Piece Of Fabric
Getting Pulled Upon
From Every Side
Would You Shear Out In The Middle
Tear Off At The Corners

AND

Unravel On The Edges

OR
Would You Be Submerged In Christ Jesus
AND

Hidden In His Love

AND
Made Strong In And By Your Weakness For Him
All The While Longing
For The Courts Above?!
Your Soul In Jesus Christ's Hand
Is Securely Held By Heavenly Love!

If You Were An Old Wine Bottle
Ravaged By Sin
- Without And Within -
Would You Be Willing
To Set Aside Self

AND
Become A New Creature In Christ
AND THEREBY

Cause All Old Things
Ways
Attitudes
Expectations
Desires
Habits
Behaviors
To Pass Away
So That All Things
In Your Life
Are Permitted
To Become New?!
Beautiful
Is The Heavenly View!

Recognising Your Need

Would You Visit
The Infinite Fund Of Moral Courage
Provided Free
To All Who Believe That Jesus Is The God Of All

AND

The One In Whom We Live And Breathe

AND
Who Will Mold Us And Remake Us
In The Blessed Image Of Himself
So That We May Approach Unto Our Father God
Unafraid
AND
Be Forever Blessed?!

Are You A Reformed Sinner
Walking
As A New Saint
BUT
Holding Consort With Friends Of The Devil
Yet Saying
They Cannot Your Soul Taint?!
You're Going To Faint!

Let It Be Made Known ...

Only Those Who Agree Walk Together! 

Practising Sinners And God's Saints 

Cannot Inhabit The Same Space Successfully!
Do You Know The One With Whom You're Walking?
Is Their Heart Right With God?!
Are You Really Walking Right With Jesus Christ The Lord?!

Please Look Inside
AND
In The Holy Jesus Confide!

Truth In The Inward Parts
Is

The Message To Be Conveyed
So Please Do Not Let The Lord Who Paid Your Price
Be Betrayed
By The Known Demonic Device!
Playing With Sinners
Is

Playing With Trick Dice!

A Little Sin
Like A Little Lie
Like A Little Fire
A Little Bit Of Gossip
A Little Walk On The Wild Side
A Little Drink Your Frayed Nerves To Hide
Brings Into Your Life
My Life
Our Lives
Trouble Not Wanted
Problems Hard To Solve
Sorrow Most Heavy!

Sin Is The Never Satisfied Tax Levy! 

Brethren,

Let's Just Heed The Salvation Call!

Jesus Saves!

Jesus Helps! 

Jesus Seals! 

Jesus Christ

Is First!!
Is Last!
Let's Please Let Him Be Our Confidence
AND
We Shall Old Satan Outwit
Outclass
AND
Outlast!

Let's Outlaw The Liar!
Let's Imbibe Faith!
Let's Walk On Wheels Of Trust And Truth
AND

Stay ... On The Straight And Narrow Path!

Blessings Await The Faithful ... Today!

Own-Sin Pay

Is Not On Our Schedule Today

Nor Any Other Day!

Jesus Christ Is The Only Way!

Get Ye Hence, I Beseech You

To The Upward Way!
