A White-Robed Devil Is Still Evil!




The Character Of Christians As We Purport To Emulate 
And
Represent Our Lord Jesus 
Calls Our Credibility Into Question! 

Beloved, 

We Who Claim Christ As King And Lord Of Our Lives
The Captain Of Our Salvation
And 
Our Hope For Surpassing Glory 
Must Be Vigilant As Regards How We Walk, Talk, And Act 
So That The Messages That We Send To Our Observers
- Christian And Non-Christian - 
Do Not Cause Them To Be Put Off Desiring 
Our Lord Jesus Christ! 

Never, Ever, Forget That 
By Our Words, We Are Justified 
And
By Our Words, We Are Condemned! 

Strangely Stunning 
And 
Devastatingly Important 
Is 
The Fact That Our Actions Loudly And Clearly 
Speak The Truth About Who Is Our Guardian 
Our Life-Guide
And 
Our Stay Aka The One Who Keeps Us In The Way That 
We Personally Desire To Walk! 

A White-Robed Devil Is Still Evil! 

The Christ That We Emulate 
Was The Same Morning, Evening, Noon, And Night! 
He Was Loving, Gentle, Kind, And Caring! 
He Was Prayerful, Useful, Blessing, Giving, And Forgiving! 
He Inspired Hope And Provided Help And Healing 
And
Most Of All
His Loving-Kindness
His Words Of Wisdom Giving Direction 
And
Correction 
Inspired Positive Change In Those Who Genuinely Sought After 
The True And Living God! 

Dear Ones, 

Our Character Is Either A Knife Or A Spoon! 
By Almighty God's Great Grace
Let Us Be Spoons And Feed Someone With Food That 
Is 
Good For Them Today! 

Please Put On 
And
Live For The Lord Jesus Christ! 

Peace!

Are You A Word Watcher?!

Please, Ma'am
What Do You Mean
When You Say
"Watch Your Words!?"
Words Don't Have A Body!

Ah, But They Do!
Some Are Heavy Weight Champions
Some Are Butterflies
Some Are Nasty Nellie's
AND
Some Are Annoying Flies!

Some Words Push You
Some Words Pull
Some Words Run You Down
AND
Some Words Make You Feel Like A Gull!

I Like Gulls!

Oh, No! Not Gull As In Bird!
Gull As In To Make One Feel Like An Idiot!

That's Not Very Nice!

Do You Still Think
Words Have No Body
Aka No Weight?!

Well  ... I Am Not Too Sure. ...Yet.

Come, Let's Walk For A Moment!
Ryan, You Are A Kindhearted Soul!
Why Is That?!

Well, It's Nice To Be Kind
And Mom And Dad Both Teach
That What You Give You Get Back
And That Soft Answers Turn Away Wrath
And
Do Unto Others What You Want To Be Done Unto You!

Wouldn't You Call That
Ingesting Good Food?

Sure, I Would!

And When You Say Something Nice
Wouldn't You Agree That You Are Displaying
The Fruit
The Benefits
From The Good Food
That You Ingested ... Ate
AND
Digested  ...  Learned Grew From
AND
Expressed ... Practiced?!

Yes, I Would!
I Think I Understand!

If You Understand, Prove It!

I Heard Coach Keene Call Mason
A Rather Nasty Name
AND
I Actually Saw Mason Recoil
As Though He Had Suffered A Physical Blow
AND
Afterward He Looked Physically Ill!

There You Go!
So What Do You Now Say?!

Sticks And Stones May Break My Bones
BUT
Unkind Words Are Sure To Harm Me!

Well Said!
Now I Desire That You Remember This:

People Watch Our Words!
Our Expressed Words Come From Within Us
Showing Others What Is Inside Of Us
AND
Very Often
A Lifetime's Worth Of Living
Can Never Erase
The Looped Unkind-Word Recording
That In Another Person's Head Plays
AND
There Is No Pencil
Well-Enough Equipped
To Erase The Lasting 
UGLY
AND
WEIGHTY
Bad Impression
That We May Have Unwittingly Made!

Watch YOUR Words!

Yes, Ma'am!
I Surely Will!
Thanks For For Taking The Time
To Explain Things To Me!
I Appreciate You!

Thank You, Kindly!
I, Also, Appreciate You!


Even At Your Worse
Jesus Christ
Gently Calls Out To You
So Please Emulate Him
AND
Do Likewise
In Interacting
With The Brethren!
