VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: What Is The Joyful Sound!?!

Do You, Do I, Really Know The Joyful Sound!?! 

Just Because We Can Do Anything To Get Something 

It Does Not Mean We Should! 

Beloved, 

Having Free Will 

And 

The Freedom To Choose To Do What You Want To 

... As A Free Agent ... 

Does Not Mean That You Should Do Whatever You Want To Do 

Because 

Exercising Free Will Is To Wield A Two-Edged Sword! 

Dear Ones, 

To A Person Who Chooses Not To Know 

The Way Of The Lord Jesus 

And 

Refuses To Walk In His Will 

... As Is Their Right And Privilege ...

Free-Will Becomes Like Purchasing A "Nice" Pen

Which Has A 240-Page Instruction Manual Containing 

A Boatload Of Provisions 

     And Conditions 

          And Exemptions 

               Plus A Void! 

In Short, It Becomes A Contract Written By Satan Himself! 

Fine Print, Anyone!?! 

However, As A Committed-To-Christ Christian

Free Will And Freedom To Choose 

Is

A Simple Follow-The-Lord 

And

Truly Live Freely ... Live True! 

Exodus Chapter 20 Aka The Ten Commandments 

And 

Matthew Chapter 5 Verses 3-12 Aka The Beatitudes 

Become The Way Of Life ... To Life Everlasting! 

The Lifestyle As Exemplified By 

Hollywood, Nollywood, And Bollywood 

Will Not Hold Any Attraction For A Saint Of God And Christ! 

Please Do Not Crown Yourself 

With The Joyful Sounds Of The Worldly Wise 

Because 

You Will Surely Drown Yourself 

In The Water From The Tearful Sobs Of 

The Sorrowing Known Unwise! 

The Joyful Sound

The Sound Of Jubilee

The Sound Of Freedom In Christ

Freedom From Sin

Because 

Of Jesus Christ's Sacrifice 

Is 

The Gift Of Almighty God! 

Remember, Dear Ones, That It Is 

The Way Of The Cross That 

Leads To The Truly Lavish Home 

In The Only Beautiful City! 

Only Jesus Christ The King Saves! 

What A Joy It Will Be To Hear 

The Joyful Sound Of His Voice Saying 

"Welcome Home, Children! 

Enter Into The Joy Of Your Lord!" 

Be Wise For Your Own Self: 

Ever Find Your Joy In The Voice Of Our Beloved Lord Jesus! 

Peace! 

 

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Is Your Life A Verifiable Lie!?!

What Is Life!?! 

Are You Living A Lie!?! 

Beloved, 

Do You Recognize, Accept

And 

Are Grateful For The Truth, The Fact, That 

We Each Have Life 

Because 

We Have The Father, Our Father, Who Is In Heaven!?! 

Do You Know, As In Understand, That 

Without Our Father, The Life-Giver, In Our Lives That 

You, Me, We Are Living A Verifiable Lie!?! 

Dear Ones, 

Are You Playing The Primary Part In Satan's Piece De Resistance 

Because 

You, Gasp, Are Denying Him Who Is The Truth 

Who, Alone, Saves You From The Accuser

The Piercing Serpent

The Raging Lion

The One Who Is Jealous Of Your Gift Of A Fruitful Life

Your Heritage As One Created In The Image Of God, After His Likeness

With The Lively Hope Of ... Going Home To Be With Our Father

In The Home Of The Forever Blessed!?! 

Brethren Beloved, 

Guard Your Heart! 

Be Sober, Be Vigilant

Be Very Careful Of Those Whom You Allow To Get Close To You! 

Be Sure To Cooperate With The Holy Spirit 

And

Be Sure To Moment By Moment Work Your Daily Gift Of 

Faith In Your Creator-God 

Who Loves You With An Everlasting Love That Is Life! 

Please Hold 

And

Enduringly Hold On To Your Father's Extended Hand Always 

For Your Life .... Everlasting! 

Peace! 

 

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Christian Code-Switchers!?!

Who Would Have Thought That 

There Would Be Known Practicing Christians 

Who Indulge In Code-Switching!?! 

Huh!?! 

They Are Christians With Their Christian Friends And Associates 

And 

Rabid Sinners With Their Willfully Sinning Friends, You Know, To Fit In! 

Huh!?! 

Yup! 

You Heard It Right! 

Beloved, 

As Children Of The Heavenly Father

Why, Why, Why Would We Feel The Need To Be Switch-Hitters!?! 

Do We Not Remember The Statement Of Truth Which Says That 

A Friend Of The World Is The Enemy Of Almighty God!?! 

Dear Ones, 

Do You Know, Accept, Understand, And Act 

According To Your Calling In Christ Jesus!?! 

If You Are, Don't You Believe That Constancy And Consistency

Faithfulness

And 

Enduring All Things For Our Lord Christ 

Should See You Standing Firm And Deep In The Savior's Love 

No Matter In Whose Company You Should Find Yourself!?! 

Brethren, 

Please Know That There Is No Fence Riding

No Fence Riders

No A Lil' Bit O' This

And 

A Scrumptious Helping O' That 

In The Kingdom Of The Forever Blessed! 

With Jesus Christ The King

You're Either With Him Or Against Him! 

How Are You Standing In And With The Forever Blessed One!?! 

Are You Permitting Him To Hold Your Hand 

To Lead You Gently Safely Home!?! 

The Lord Jesus Is The Light That Leads To Everlasting Life! 

He's Everything To And For Us: 

Think On And Pray About It! 

Peace! 

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: It's All In Your Name!

Your Name Identifies You

Speaks To Your Reputation

And 

Announces Your Character! 

Does Your Name ... Right Now

Announce To Friends, Family, Foes

And 

The Fraternity Of The Faithless Fiend That 

You Are A Committed Member Of The Household Of Faith 

Or

Does It Say That 

You Have Itching Ears 

And That 

You Are One Who Follows Every Wind Of Doctrine 

And 

Is An Explorer Ever Seeking After Something New,

Spectacular ... And Sense-Tingling!?! 

Beloved, 

Your Name Means Everything To The Lord Jesus 

As Shown In The Letter To The Church At Sardis In Revelation 3:4  

Where He Says That There Were A Few Names 

Who Had Not Defiled Their Garments! 

Dear Ones, 

Our Names ... As Christ's Followers 

Should Distinctly Set Us Apart 

From Those Amongst Whom We Dwell 

Or With Whom We Associate! 

There Is The Great Day Coming 

When We Shall See Our Lord As He Is 

Because 

We Shall Be Like Him! 

We Are Called To Be Perfect 

Even As Our Father In Heaven Is Perfect! 

We Are To Be Developing The Character Of Christ Now 

By Letting The Holy Spirit Lead, Teach, Feed

Correct, Direct, Protect

And 

Use Us In Almighty God's Service! 

Please Deny The Liar Who Offers License 

And

Accept The Lord Who Gives Everlasting Life! 

Live Now As Though You Are Going To Be Living 

In Heavenly Light Later! 

Please Polish Your Name Here 

So That You Will Receive The New Name 

On The Peaceful Shore! 

Peace! 

Nobody Owes Us A Gift Or A Gift Of Our Choosing!

We Have Surely Lost Our Way! 

In The Name Of The Lord Jesus

Why Would We, As Committed Christians, Believe That 

A Free-Will Gift Of Almighty God 

Should Be Returned To The Sender Expressing Our Dissatisfaction 

Because 

It Is Not A Brand Name

It Is Not What We Wanted

And 

It Is Not To Our Taste Since Only Money Excites Us!?! 

Beloved, 

Yes, There Are Gifts That We May Specifically Ask The Lord For 

But

Think Carefully About All The Gifts, Benefits

And 

Blessings That We Have Received Of The Lord 

Without Our Prior Knowledge And Approval!?! 

Was Calvary A Part Of Your Desire Or Aesthetic!?! 

The Cross Was Not By Gucci 

And 

The Holy Spirit Is Not Prada! 

Dear Ones, 

If We Blindly Continue 

In The Despicable, Entitled, Attitude 

Now Being Publicly Expressed

It Is Certain That We Will Not Want Or Accept 

The Now Available Gift Of Everlasting Life! 

It Is Also Certain That We Will Also Roundly Reject 

The Fruit Of The Holy Spirit 

Because 

They Do Not Come Wrapped 

In A Warhol Or Michelangelo Hand-Drawn Wrapping Paper! 

No One Owes Us A Gift

And For Sure

Nobody Owes A Gift Of Our Own Choosing! 

The Gifts Of God Should Be To Us

"Thank You, Jesus!

Bless You, Lord, For Thinking On Me!" 

The Good And Perfect Gift From God To Us 

Is 

Good And Perfect, As Is, For Us ... Always! 

Let Us Not Behave Like Idolatrous Ingrates 

Treating The Lord's Bounty Like Hog Food! 

Let Us Gladly Accept The Best Of Heaven 

Like We Know That 

We Are The Blessed On Earth! 

Peace!

HAPPY SABBATH + Reject Evil To Live In The Bright Presence!

We Should Be Very Afraid To Do Anything That 

Even Remotely Has The Aroma, Fragrance, Stench

Or Stink Of Wickedness ... Evil! 

Beloved, 

The Lord God Almighty Does Not Have A Lisp

A Stutter, A Stammer, A Tied Tongue

Nor Is Dumb 

So Let Us Not Play Fast And Loose 

With The Living Word Of Saving Truth 

Which Can Both Shame And Cut Us Apart 

And

Also Liberate And Elevate Us! 

Dear Ones, 

The Lord Is Not A Monster 

But 

Is Master Of All He Surveys

All That He Has Created

So We Should Hear And Heed What He Says 

Because 

He Means It

And Because 

He Loves Us

And Because 

His Holy Love Does Not Hurt Or Cause Sorrow 

And Because 

We Seek To Return His Undying Love 

By Showing Him Our Willing Obedience! 

Almighty God's Laws Are Few 

And 

Eternity Is Long! 

Sin Has A Shelf Life 

But 

Salvation Is Everlasting! 

The King Of Love Is Glorious 

But 

The Usurper, The Wannabe God

Is 

A Base And Bold Fraud! 

Please, I Beseech And Encourage Us All 

To Humble Ourselves Before The Lord 

So That We May Enjoy The Now Unimaginable Blessings 

Reserved For The Pilgrim Band Known Righteous! 

Reject Evil 

And 

Dare To Let The Lord Embrace You With Eternal Love 

To Live In His Bright Presence! 

Pray, Dear Ones! 

Pray ... And Stay Focused On 

The Goodness And Good News Of Our Lord Jesus! 

Peace!

Listen To The Lord Of Life!

 

Our Lord Christ Invites Us To Come To Him 

And 

Participate In A Reasoning Conversation! 

Satan, The Master Of Distraction

Tries To Insinuate Himself Between Us And Our Life-Giver And Savior 

By Saying That The Conversation Is A Con 

Because 

The Lord Jesus Is Trying To Make Converts To Himself 

By Bypassing Our Free-Will And Our Freedom To Choose How To Live 

And 

When And Where To Die! 

Are You Hearing

Truly Listening  ... And Understanding 

What Is Really Happening Here!?! 

Beloved, 

Jesus Christ Is Our Creator-God 

And 

He Has No Need Or Desire To Make Us Do Anything: 

There Is No Force In Love! 

Dear Ones, 

Satan, The Adversary Of Our Souls

The Roaring Lion

The Piercing Serpent

Is 

The Scorched-Earth "Builder" 

Aka The Destroyer

The Bait And Switch Con Artist Who Is The Father Of Lies 

Who Will Say Anything 

To Get Anyone To Have A "Productive" Conversation With Him 

In The Hope That It Will Convert Someone 

To His Wicked, Evil, Destructive Way

And 

Take Them Away From The Lord Christ

Almighty God In The Flesh! 

Please, I Beseech Us All

Reject Interactions With Glib-Tongued Found-Friend Strangers 

Who Can Show You Newer, Brighter, Shinier, Better 

Minus Truth, Light, Love, Grace, Peace, Goodness

And 

Access To The Heavenly Home 

And

Everlasting Life! 

Love The Lord Jesus Christ

And

Lose All Links To The Liar! 

Peace!

A Boatload Of Hogwash!

In The Old Days

Much Talk Was Heard About The Sweet-Skin Bucky

Who Just Also Happened To Be A Silver-Tongued Snake 

And 

A Lily-Livered Coward! 

How Is That For A Warning By Description Of 

A Gentleman-Caller To Roundly Refuse!?! 

Beloved, 

In Our Journey To Joy

To Hill Zion 

Where Pleasures Forevermore Do Not Cloy 

As In Make You Sick To Your Very Stomach

You Will Be Accosted By That Certain Glib Someone 

Whom You Have Never Met 

But Who, With Dulcet Tones, Will Tell You 

All There Is To Know About What You Surely Need

Where You Are Headed 

But Where You Should Boldly Go Instead

Whom It Is That You Have Unforgivably Offended

And 

Why You Should Turn Away From The Light 

That Allegedly Leads To Everlasting Life 

- Which You Can Never Attain - 

And, Instead 

"Follow De Leader, Leader, Leader

Follow De Leader!" 

And 

Just Let "It" All Hang Out 

Because 

Tomorrow Ye Die! 

Dear Ones, 

That Is A Boatload Of Hogwash 

Coming Out Of The Fire-Hose Powered By Satan The Damned 

Who Is Known To Appear As An Angel Of Light! 

Satan Tried To "Sell This Tee-Shirt" To Our Blessed Jesus 

And 

Was Roundly Rebuffed With The Perfect For All Problems 

"Thus Saith The Lord!" 

Please Let Us Choose To Follow The Way, Ways

And 

Will Of Our Blessed Jesus 

And

Allow Satan ... That Silver-Tongued Snake

To Head To Hell By Himself! 

The Devil's Deceits Destroy! 

Jesus Christ Saves: 

Walk In His Holy Light! 

Peace! 

Don't Rob Yourself Of Everlasting Life!

Do You Know The Difference Between 

An Open Invitation And An Open Ticket 

And

Understand Their Impress And Impact Upon John Q. Public 

And 

Committed To The Church Christians 

And 

Committed To Christ Christians!?! 

Beloved, 

There Is No Christian Church Without Jesus Christ 

Aka The Foundation! 

All Humans Have Been Given 

An Open Invitation To Come To Jesus Christ For Salvation! 

All Committed Christians Know That 

They Have An Open Invitation 

To Boldly Approach The Throne Of Grace 

To Obtain Mercy 

And

Find Grace To Help In Their Time Of Need! 

All Committed To Christ Christians Know That 

No Human Has An Open Ticket To Get To Glory 

On Their Own Terms

On Their Own Schedule

At Their Own  Expense

And 

According To Their Own "Feelings!" 

Dear Ones, 

Tread Softly Before The Lord 

And

Do Not Permit Nit-Picking

Fault-Finding

And 

Double-Mindedness 

To Cost You Your Share Of The Blessed Hope 

Because 

Your Creator-Savior Lacks The Philosopher's Wet Noodle For A Spine 

And 

Is Not Impressed By Your Many Ward-Robe Changes 

Even As He Commands That 

Your "Yes!" Be "Yes!" And Your "No!" Be "No!" 

Because 

Anything Else Leads One Into Sin! 

The Lord Christ Has Made His Will And His Way Plain 

By His Inflexible Word 

So Don't Rob Yourself Of Everlasting Life 

Because 

You Went To School And The Living God Didn't! 

Heads-Up, Dear Ones! 

The Living God Is The School: 

Let's Buy The Free Clue 

And 

Get A Solid Grip On Saving Truth!

Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Oh, The Pain!

Sin Is A Sexy Siren

Singing A Scintillating Song

Sure To Send The Sinful Skyward

Satisfied With Skirting Around Salvation

Sure To Have Scheming Satan

Salivating That 

Another Soul Would Be His Before Long! 

Desire Is Deceiving

Drawing One Into The Dragon's Dark Domain

Where Deceit, Discord, And Destruction

Are The Deceived One's Reward

His Long-Desired Gain! 

Greed Is A Grip Guaranteed 

To Grind The Glutton

Into Gruel

So That The Gainsayer Satan

Can Joyfully Flush Him Away! 

Beware! Beware! 

Regret Is That Vision Most Cruel! 

"I Feel Your Pain!" 

"No, You Don't! 

"I've Been There!"

"Oh, Please! Get Real! 

Unless We Share The Same Body

You Have No Idea What I've Been Going Through 

So Don't You Dare Tell Me That My Pain Is Nothing

To Deal With It

And With It Get Through!" 

Beloved,

Could You Imagine Telling The Lord That 

His Pain For You Was Nothing 

Compared To What You're Feeling For Yourself!?! 

Can You Imagine Taking Morphine For Your Personally-Felt Pain 

While Minimizing What Our Savior Felt Cold Turkey 

When For Each One Of Us Personally

He Died The First 

And

The Second Death 

To Give Each One Of Us Personally And Individually

The Blessed Gift Of His Everlasting Life!?! 

Pain ... Like Life And Death

Has A Subject And An Object! 

Pain Points To A Problem In You

Which Is A Problem For You

Which Must Be Fixed For You 

Or

In Your Behalf! 

Pain Is A Symptom Of Sin 

Which Corrupted, Corrupts, Mortal Life! 

A Life Of And In Sin Results In Death! 

Jesus Christ Conquered Death To Give Us Life! 

A Life Lived In And For Jesus Christ

Shall See Everlasting Life 

Without Pain, Sin, And Death

So Please Take Our Blessed Jesus All Day, Every Day

And 

Sin Will Not Have Power Over You 

And

Neither Will The Second Death!

Physical Pain Is A Part Of Life! 

How Are You Feeling Today!?! 

Have You Been To Jesus!?! 

Peace! 

HAPPY SABBATH + Please Do Not Be Like Own-Way Children!

Evadney, Do You Know That You Are Being Held!?!

I Sure Do! 

I Am Sheltered By ... And Held 

In The  Comforting Arms Of The Almighty God!

Yeah, Yeah, Yeah! 

Not That Held!

Come On Now! 

What Other Held Could There Possibly Be!?!

You Asked So Let Me Answer You!

You're A Sinner And You're Held By H.E.L.D.!

Held By Held!?!

Big WhooHoo!

Please Don't Say That! 

I'm Very Serious!

Okay, Okay! 

Tell Me Who Or What Is This "Held" That's Holding Me!?!

H.E.L.D. Has A Hold On You!

Hate, Envy, Lust, And Deceit 

Have Got You In Their Gross Grip 

And They Ain't Gonna Let You Go Free

Unless You Let Our King Jesus Break Their Grip!

It's Either That Or Suffer The Full And Final Effects Of Man's Fall! 

Restrictions, Requirements, Reproofs: 

Man Hates Rules! 

Who Is Better, Wiser, And Stronger Than 

The Lord Jesus Christ!?! 

Like Own-Way Children

We Often Act As Though We Are Better At Organizing Our Lives

Wiser To Make Decisions To Guide Our Lives

And 

Stronger Than The Enemy Desiring To Destroy Us 

And 

All That We Hold Dear 

Including Our Saving Faith In The Lord Jesus Christ! 

Beloved, 

There Is None Better, Wiser, Or Stronger Than 

The Lord God Almighty Who Made And Maintains

Saves And Sustains

Provides For And Protects Us All! 

Restrictions Protect! 

Reproofs Correct! 

Requirements Direct! 

And 

The God Of Grace And Glory 

Who Directs, Corrects, And Protects Us 

Is 

Able, Available, And Awaiting Our Answer 

To His Call To Everlasting Life! 

Our God The Almighty ... Strong To Save

Is 

Awake

Aware

Ahead Of The Curve

And 

All-Around Awesome! 

Brethren, Beloved

How About Deciding To Let Our Dear Savior 

Surprise And Amaze Us Today 

Since There Is Nothing That We May Think, Say, Or Do 

Which Will Surprise Or Amaze Him!?! 

Jesus Christ Desires To Save Me And You

So Dare To Grab Grace 

And 

Inevitably Hold Glory! 

Peace!

Be Wise To Rise To Glory!

What Have You Done For The Master!?! 

Are You Doubting What The Master Has Done

Is Doing Or Will Do For You!?! 

Are You Contemplating 

Why The Lord Needs You To Do Anything For Him 

When He Has Everything At His Disposal 

And 

Owns Everything Seen And Unseen, Known And Unknown!?! 

Beloved, 

You, Personally, Are Precious, Special, To Our Dear Savior! 

No Person Living, Dead, Dying, Denying, Defying

Rigid, Rude, Recalcitrant, Or Ruthless 

Is 

Able To Change Almighty God's Love For 

And 

Desire To Have Us Accept The Gifts Given

And 

Perform Our Assignments To Gather With Him 

As We Tell The Good News Of Free-To-All Salvation

The Living God's Love, Grace, Mercy, Truth, Faithfulness 

And 

Loving-Kindness 

Which Will Never Fail Us! 

You, Personally, Are The Apple Of Our Lord's Eye

The One For Whom He Poured Out His Innocent Blood 

So That You, Cleansed Thereby And Forgiven

And 

Willingly, Enduringly, Obediently Cooperating With Him

May Have His Everlasting Life! 

Please Allow The Naysayers To Swear

And 

The Gainsayers To Bray 

But

See To It, For Love Divine, That 

You Hold To Our God's Unchanging Hand 

Unphased By Opposition 

As You Love Yourself By Loving Your Savior 

By Thought, Word, And Deed! 

Obey: Don't Stray! 

Pray: Don't Run Away! 

Be Wise: Rise To Stand Before The Throne Of God 

As The Obedient Child Of The King

The Diligent Student Of The School Of Christ

And 

The Trustworthy Servant Of The Eternal God! 

Peace!

Enjoy In The Lord!

This Same Jesus

The Lord Of Earth And Glory

The King Of Love

The Shepherd Of Rest

Our Refuge And Strength

The Hope Of Every Man

The Joy Of Living

The Reason That We Are Alive 

And 

Able To Either Accept Or Reject His Love

His Easy Leadership

And 

His Everlasting Life

Speaks The Same Words Of Truth To Us Today! 

Jesus Christ Still Says: 

"Come Unto Me And I Will Give You Rest! 

Follow Me And Be Blessed! 

Oh, Taste And See That The Lord Is Good! 

Honor Me And I Will Honor You! 

Seek Me And You Will Find Me 

When You Seek Me With All Of Your Heart! 

Come Let Us Reason Together! 

Be Thou Clean! 

Thy Faith Hath Thee Whole! 

Be Thou Perfect As You Father In Heaven Is Perfect! 

Ask, And It Shall Be Given! 

Take My Yoke Upon You And Learn Of Me!"

And

" Pray Without Ceasing!" 

This Same Jesus Also Says: 

"Come Boldly To The Throne Of Grace

To Obtain Mercy! 

Resist The Devil! 

Walk In The Light!"

And

"Call Unto Me And I Will Answer Thee 

And Show The Great And Mighty Things 

Which Thou Knowest Not! 

Hold Fast What Thou Hast That No Man May Take Thy Crown!" 

And

"I Am The Way, The Truth, And The Life!" 

Beloved, 

Trust Ye In The Lord Forever 

For In The Lord Jehovah Is Everlasting Strength! 

I Encourage Us All Today To Believe The Word Of The Lord 

And

Be Eternally Blessed 

Because

Great Is His Faithfulness! 

Be Strong As You Find Your Joy In 

And

Enjoy The Lord! 

Peace!
