Vespers At The End Of The Sabbath: Who Guides Your -Ship!?!

KJV Ephesians 5:15-16

15 See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise,

16 Redeeming the time, because the days are evil.

-Ships Abound! 

What Kind Of -Ship Is Yours!?! 

We Can Be Like Jesus And To Accomplish This

We Are Each Offered A Lifetime Apprenticeship 

In The Righteousness School Of King Jesus Aka The King Of Love

Where The Teacher, Not Professor Nor Educator

Is 

The Holy Spirit Of God 

Who Leads The Diligent Apprentices Into All Truth! 

Beloved, 

Interestingly Enough And Sadly

There Is The Malevolent Spirit Running Amok 

Who Is Also Offering Free Apprenticeships 

To His About-Me School 

Where Advanced Placement GS&P Classes 

Are The Hot Ticket! 

Strangely Enough

There Is Not A Step Up To A Brighter Day Celebration 

For Any Of The Thousands Of Years That 

The Malevolent Spirit's About-Me School Has Been In Existence! 

On The Other Hand, Dear Ones

What Is Amazingly Beautiful About The King Of Love's School Of Righteousness 

Is 

That It Has A Parallel -Ship Class 

For All Of Those Students In Its Apprenticeship Program Of Education! 

It Is Called Friendship 

And 

It Gives All Apprentices Direct Anytime Access To 

The Creator-Owner

Founder-Operator

Sustainer-Maintainer Of The School 

Where Grace And Mercy 

And 

Justice And Peace Are Its Hallmarks! 

The Apprentices Remaining Therein To The Program's Completion 

Are Eternally Blessed! 

Brethren Beloved, 

In The Name Of Jesus Christ The Lord 

Understand That To Be Forewarned 

Is 

To Be Forearmed 

So Please Make A Note-Well Warning 

In Your Need To Know File! 

The King Of Love 

Is 

Your, My, Our Forever Friend! 

The Malevolent Spirit 

Is 

The Now-Present Fiend 

And 

His Advanced Placement GSP Classes 

Are For Intensive Tutoring In Greed, Selfishness And Pride 

Which Gives Its Apprentices A Hot Ticket To Hell 

On The Day That The Judge Of All Flesh Appoints! 

The Malevolent Spirit Has Already Been Found Wanting 

And 

Has Been Judged And Condemned! 

Please, I Beseech Us All

Be Purposeful And Intentional In Your Grace-Filled Walk And Work 

For The Judge, Prince Immanuel, The King Of Love: 

He Equips All Of His Apprentices With Faith For Today ... Every Day! 

Be Wise! 

Peace!

Heaven Will Be Worth It All!

Practice Make Practical 

Aka What You Practice 

You Become Efficient At Performing! 

If You Make A Habit Of Being Kind

You Act Kindly! 

If You Practice Cruelty

You Act Cruelly! 

Beloved, 

The Nature ... The Character Of Our Lord Christ

Which He Requires To Be Reproduced In His Children

- The Saints Of God And Christ - 

Demands That We Practice Gentleness, Goodness

Kindness, Temperance Aka Moderation

Love, Justice, Faithfulness, And Truthfulness

And 

Be Giving And Forgiving! 

Is It Going To Be Easy!?! 

No! 

Can It Be Accomplished!?! 

Yes! 

Is It Worth The Effort Required!?! 

Most Certainly! 

Should I Be Willing To Try!?! 

Only You Can Answer That! 

Remember, Though, No Risk ... No Reward!

No Cross ... No Crown!

Is There Help Available!?! 

It's Just A Prayer Away!?! 

But What If There Are Slip-Ups!?! 

He Who Says Do It Is There To Help You Up 

And

Get You Back On Track! 

Dear Ones, 

Acquiring Bad Habits Requires No Effort: 

That's As Water Down The Hill! 

Acquiring Good Habits Requires Time

         Blood

                  Sweat

                           Tears

                                     Prayers

Endurance

         Faith

                 Hope

                          Love

                                  Trust 

And

The Patience Of The Saints 

Who Are Standing Firmly 

On The "Yeah!" And "AMEN!!!" Promises Of 

Their Creator, Savior, Lord, God, Redeemer, King 

And 

Forever Faithful Friend! 

Pray ... Because He Cares! 

Do ... Because It's True! 

Testify ... Because It Edifies!

Praise ... And Be Raised! 

Peace!

PRECIOUS: The Lord God Almighty Doesn't Save Junk!

As Christians ... True Christ-Followers

We Are To Be Circumspect Aka Thoughtful, Cautious

In All That We Say And Do 

Because 

We Have The Desire To Avoid Mistakes, Missteps

And

Their Consequences! 

Remember, Confession And Repentance Cleanse From Sin 

But 

It Never Relieves Us Of Sins' Consequences! 

Beloved, 

King Solomon Has Warned Us Of 

The Fool Being Hasty In Speech And Action

Well-Given To "Fetching Up His Guts!" 

And 

Being Uncaring Of The Consequences!

This Is Not The Way Of The Child Of God 

Who Is Taught Of God 

And

Who Is The Beneficiary Of The Gift Of Wisdom From God 

And

Is Able To Use Understanding

To Apply Real Knowledge For True Profit! 

The Lord Christ Redeemed Us

Aka Bought Us Back, From Sin

Death, The Grave And Hell 

And

We, Faithful Christians

Are To Redeem, Buy-Back ... Take-Back 

Our Finite, Short, Time From Lawlessness

Carelessness, Uselessness

Wickedness, Deceitfulness

Indifference, Foolishness 

And 

All Such Unprofitable Behaviors! 

Every One Of Us Is Unique, Special ... Irreplaceable! 

If You Are Lost To The Kingdom Of God

Jesus Christ Is Irretrievably Harmed 

Because 

There Is No One Who Can Or Will Replace You! 

He Gave His Life To Save Our Lives! 

Let's Dare, By Working Faith, To Live Up To The Value That 

The Lord Jesus Christ Has Placed On Each One Of Us! 

Remember ...

The Lord ... Our Lord ... Doesn't Save Junk! 

Our Lord Christ Who Is God Almighty 

Saves That Which Is Precious:

That's You ... And Me, Too! 

Value Your Value To The Lord!

Guard Your Thoughts, Watch Your Words, And Be Cautious In Your Deeds!

The Days Are Evil
And
All I'm Saying To You 
Is 
Don't Be MAD!

Mad!?!

What Have I Got To Be Mad About!?!

I Am Not MAD!

You Misunderstand Me!

Huh!?!

What Are You Talking About!?!

Dencita, I Am Not Talking About Mad
As In Angry, Upset, Ticked Off, Incensed!

I'm Speaking About Miriam, Aaron And David!

Pardon My French
But What De Bird Does Miriam
Aaron And David Have To Do With Me!?!

We Only Sit In The Same Class 
And We Don't Even Socialize!

Again, Dencita, You Misunderstand Me!

Maybe If You Were Making Sense
I Would Readily Understand!

Okay, Okay!

Sheath Your Blade!

Oh, Dear! I'm Sorry!

Please Tell Me What You Mean!

Very Well!

I Am Speaking About

Prophet Miriam

Prophet High Priest Aaron

And

Shepherd, Sweet Psalmist, Warrior, Prophet, King, David!

What On Earth Are You Getting At Major Payne!?!

What I'm Getting At Dencita Dansing-Round Is Sin!

Sin By Thought, Word And Deed!

Oookay! 

You've Got My Full Attention!

Miriam And Aaron Thought Of

And

Spoke Evil Against Their Brother
The Nation's General

Almighty God's Man Of Business

Their Younger Brother, Moses

And

Did Evil In The Sight Of The Holy God!

David Thought, Spoke, And Performed Evil

Against Both Bathsheba And Her Husband

His Friend, Uriah The Hittite! 

What A Man Thinks He Speaks!

What A Man Speaks

He Ultimately Performs

And

That Is How We Sin

By Thought, Word And Deed

And

Offend The Living God!

And

Lest You Forget

The Offense Is A Bill

And

The Bill Must Be Paid

In Your Skin

And

With Your Soul!

The Lord Does Not Accept Perishable Gold!

Oh, Dear!

Ephesians 5:15-16
Is
A Decidedly Serious Word Of Caution
To All Of Us Who Desire 
The White Robe Of Christ's Righteousness
The Gold Crown Of Glory
The Victor's Palm
And
Jesus Christ's Words Of Commendation: 

"Well Done

Good And Faithful Servant!"

Work Out

Your Own Soul's Salvation

With Godly Fear

And Trembling!

To Live Circumspectly 
Is 
To Live Carefully Cautious In Both Words And Actions 
In Your Desire To Avoid Known-Bad Consequences 
Aka You Want To Get Home To Be With Jesus 
So You Will Avoid Doing Anything At All 
Which Will Transport You To Hell! 

The Times Are Evil Indeed 
Because 
Truth Is Cast Down In The Street
Sweet Things Are Bitter
Lies Are Called Truth
And 
Good Things Are Called Evil
And 
Evil Is Become Good! 

Even Fools
- Who Say There Is No God -
Are "Wise" In Their Conceit 
And 
Their Loud Voices Are Carrying 
The Unweary Away To Damnation! 

Beloved, 

All Of The Word Of God 
Is 
To Teach Us, Warn Us, Feed Us
And 
Lead Us Into All Truth 
Which Will Guide Us Home To Be With Him Who 
Is 
The Truth! 

Jesus Christ 
Is 
Also Our Light 
And 
He Is Our Life
And 
He Has Made The Way To The Father's Home Plain 
For Us To See And To Navigate! 

Evil Has No Future 
So Trust The Truth That Cannot Die! 
See To It That You Do Good Always 
And 
By Almighty God's Great Grace 
You Shall Arrive Safely In The Eternal Home 
At The Time Appointed! 

Guard Your Thoughts ... Guard Your Heart
Watch Your Words 
Be Cautious In Your Deeds
Be Enduringly Faithful
Pray Penitentially
Obey The Word Diligently
And 
Hold On To Your Hope In Jesus Christ! 
Business As Usual 
Is 
No Longer An Option!

WALKING AS WISE: There Is The Line!

Just As The Lord At Creation

Gave Unto The Sea Its Bounds

Commanding:

So Far ... And No Farther!

So Is His Command To Satan!

So Is His Command Unto Man!

Many Men Are Pushing The Boundaries!

Many Women Are Doing Likewise!

Many Children Are Following Their Elders

And

All Are Falling, Lost ... Condemned

On The Broad Way's Curbside!

Be Sober!

Be Vigilant!

Your Adversary Is The Devil

That Fallen Angel Damned

Who From Heaven's Courts Was Cast Out

And

Who Now, On Earth, Is Seeking
- Against Jesus Christ -
To Raise Up A Lost-Soul Army Vast!

Brethren, Beloved

The Lord Cares Sacrificially For You

And 
He Is Calling You To Salvation Sure 
And 
Royally, Eternally, True!

Ignore The Base Fraud

And

Listen To The Savior, The Lord Our God:

Beloved, 

No One Should Have To Repeatedly Tell ... Or Warn 

A Competent, Bible-Believing, Jesus-Following Christian 

To Walk Circumspectly Aka Cautiously, Vigilantly, Carefully

In This Evil Age In Which We Live! 

This Present Age Reveals That 
Most People Are The Bible-Named Fools 

Since It Is Touted On The TV

On The Radio

On The Internet

- Even In Many Churches -

That There Is No God

That Man Is God

That "Do What Thou Wilt!" 

Is 

All Of The Law

That No One Can Judge You

That Every Man Has A Personal Truth 
And

That The No-God God Has To Save Everybody 

Because 

It Is His Fault That All Humans Are Sinners! 

"Thus Saith The Lord ...!"

Is Always

A Nail In The Sure Place!

Wisdom Comes From Jesus Christ! 
Wisdom Says Hold The Almighty In Godly Fear 

Because 

Every Human Must Give An Account Of 
The Stewardship Of His Life 

To His Maker ... The Eternal, Holy, God! 

Beloved,

The Word Of Truth Is A Sword

And 

Faith Is A Shield: 

Arm Yourself 

And 

Walk Softly Before The Lord 

Who Is Savior, Friend, King ... And Judge! 

Disbelief And Doubt

Cannot Change The Facts:

Jesus Christ The Lord Is Almighty God

And

Our Judgment Day Is Coming!

Get Ready ... And Stay Ready!!
