HAPPY SABBATH + Resting In The Love Of The Lord Christ! + PRAYER: It Is Our Desire To Bless You, Father!

He Is Dressed To The Nines

Yet Naked And Afraid!
Afraid And Alone

Alone ... In The Sights Of The Devil
Who Is Plotting 

And 

Instigating What Evil
To That Soul Can Be Done!
He's Having Fun And Then Some

In The Company Of The Popular 

The Illuminated 

The Rich And Connected Ones!

Look At Him ...

He Is Jumping At Shadows

Afraid Of And Loving The Dark

Angry At Disappointment

Lurching From Sorrow To Sorrow

Always Worried About Tomorrow

Yet Loving The Coarse And Bright Broadway

But

Disdaining The Way Straight And Narrow!

 Here's Someone Different ...

She Is Simply Clothed In Christ's Righteousness
A Repentant Sinner

Believing In The Word Of Truth

Bowing Humbly Before

And 

Importunately Praying
To The Heavenly Father
- In The Name Of The Son -
Unafraid To Live Her Life In Christ

And IsBy Circumstance Undeterred

Because
She Is Resting In The Love Of The Lord Jesus
Who Died ... A Curse
To Save Us All, Everyone!

Look At Her ...

Walking With Jesus
Refusing
To Ever Again Run Wild In Sin
Standing
On The Promises Of God
Knowing
That With Faithful Endurance
By Right
Heaven's Gate She Shall Enter In
Nevermore To Be Touched By Evil Surmising!
She's Faithful In Her Daily Striving!

Don't You Know ...

It Is Better To Be Pure, Poor And Humble
With Jesus Christ The Lord
Than To Be
Tainted, Rich And Proud With The Fraud

Because

Pure, Poor And Humble
Stays Pure
Becomes Rich
And
Is Elevated In Christ's Purity To Eternity

But

The Tainted, Rich And Proud
Stay Tainted
Become Irretrievably Poor
And
Their Pride 

Is 

Humbled Unto Destruction
Along With Their Instigator, Satan
Who Encouraged Them
The Lord Of Life
The Truth For All Ages
The King Of Love
The Light Of Life
To Egregiously Denigrate, Defy And Deny
BecauseOf Their Engrossing Love Of 

The Comfortable Lie!

Think About It ...

Two Lives
Two Thoughts
Two Characters
Two Masters
Two Distinctly Different Ways Of Life
One Judgment
Two Vastly Different Outcomes
Because
One Chooses 

By Belief, Faith 

And 

Practiced Obedience 

To Forever Live

And

The Other Chooses 

By Doubt, Disbelief 

And 

Practiced Disobedience 

To Forever Die!

Brethren, Beloved

Upon Whom For Comfort Do You Rely!?!
Unto Whom In Your Need Do You Cry!?!
Do You Pay Homage 

To The Master Of The Winds And The Waves
OrDo You Cavort With The Master Of Disaster!?!

Are You Heeding The Broad Call To Self
Or
Will You Join Me
And
Heed The Narrow Call To Salvation
And
In Your Own Life
Reverse The Cause Of Man's Fall!?!

You Know The Whole Of The Story!
You Know Who It Is That Sacrificially Loves You!
You, Alone, Must Make For Everlasting Life 

The Decision
Because
Neither The Lord Christ
Nor The Damned Devil
Can Force Their Will Upon You!

FYI:

At The End Of The Conflict
Only The Tried Tested 

And 

True Saints Of Almighty God And Christ
Will Be Standing Tall
Glorified
Incorruptible
Immortalized!

PRAYER:

Father,

I Come To You

Because I Believe That

You Are The God Holy!

I See My Need For The Savior

So Help Me, Please

- As An Obedient Sheep -

At His Hand To Feed!

Lord,

I Repent Of My Known Sin!

Please Help Me Not To Sin Again!

Help Me Not To Turn Again To Fables

And

Bless Me To Walk As The Wise

And

Not Become A Part Of Satan's Stable!

Father,

I Pray For My Brethren

Those Near And Those Far

Those Who Are Among The Called-Out

Those Who Are Seeking

No More To Be Among

The Itchy-Earred Walk-Abouts!

Please Bless Them To Take Hold Of

The Holy Hand

That Is Reaching Out To Them

And

Bless Them To Ever Hear The Still Voice Of

The Loving Heart

Who, To Us

Desires To Draw Near!

Help Us To Respond With Godly Fear!

Please Grant Unto Us Daily Grace

Daily Faith

Strength For Our Journeying

And

Courage For The Way We Must Walk

And

Please Provide For Us

All That You Have Promised

For

We Love You

And

We Worship

And

It Is Our Desire To Bless You

Who Always Blesses Us

Without Our Having To Ask!

Please, Father

Remember Those Who Mourn

Those Who Anticipate A Mourning

The Childless

The Motherless And The Fatherless

The Poor And The Downtrodden

The Lost And The Lonely

The Demon-Possessed

The Demon-Oppressed

And

Those Who Have No Safe Place To Call Home

- Physically Or Spiritually -

And

Have Mercy On Those Who Do Not Yet Know

That The Lord Jesus Christ

- The Creator God

The Savior, The Redeemer

The Forever Friend -

For Their Personal, Public And Private Sin

Did Completely Atone!

Please Grant Unto Us These Few Petitions, Father

For We Ask All In The Matchless Name Of

The Holy Jesus

Your Beloved And Only Begotten Son

Our Returning King!

Please Come For Us Soon!

AMEN.

HAPPY SABBATH + COEXISTENCE: Good And Evil!?!

There Is No Good In Evil!
There Is No Evil In Good!
And
By Man ... Shaped In Iniquity
And
Conceived In Sin
This ... Must Be Clearly Understood!

ToMAYto ToMAHto
Good Evil
All Are The Same To Me
Because I See The Evil Living Good
And The Good Being Walked Over By Evil
And That Situation Apparent
Cannot Be, By You, Withstood!

I Know What You Mean
But
With You, I Disagree
Because
Reality Is Not What Lived Life Makes It Seem!

The Good May Appear To Be Downtrodden
And
The Evil Large And In Charge
But
The Day Of Small Things Is Surely Coming
When The Enduring Good And Faithful
Shall Take The Upper Hand
That Is
The Hand Of The Master
He Who Paid Their Price
He To Whom They Took All Their Burdens
He Who Has Come To Grant Them New Stations
As Princes Princesses
Priests Of God And Christ
And
To Take Them Home To Hill Zion
Whose Residents Do Not Participate
In Sorrow Sin Crying
Death Sacrifice Deceit And Lying!

I Wish, Like You
That I Could Believe
But That's Just Not My Personality
Because I Believe What I See
And I Trust What I Hear With My Own Ears
So Your Handed-Down Bible Nuggets And Gems
Earns From Me No Cheers!

Brother, Beloved!
My New-Found Friend!
Belief Is A Choice!

Tell That To All Those
Who Had
Who Have Their Choices Made For Them!
Tell That To All Those
Who Came To Cruel Ends
By Choices Not Their Own
For A Belief They Distrusted
For The Love Of A Leader
They Roundly Despised!

I Hear You, My Brother!
Believe Me, I Understand!
The Almighty God Keeps Good Records
And
His Judgment Shall Not Be Gainsayed
Nor Withstood!

Our Shepherd

- The True Shepherd -
Is
The Lord Most High
Creator Of The Universe
The Light Of Life
The Life Of Man
And
He Shall Make All Wrong Things Right
And
It Is In Our Best Interests
With His Holy Cause To Unite

Daily

The Evil To Withstand

The Evil To Fight!

Look Not At What Is!

Look At What Is To Come!
Believe The Living God's Word Of Promise
And
See Through The Eye Of Faith
What The 1,000 Year's Of Peace In Heaven
Looks Like
And
Also Envisage What The New Heavens
And
The New Earth Shall Be!

There Is Much For Faith's Eyes To See!

Step Out On The Limb Of Faith!
Underneath Is The Rock Of Our Salvation!
Walk About Zion:
In Charge Is Judah's Lion

And

Walk Holy
Because
The Master

The Savior

The Redeemer

The Friend

Is 

Holy
And
Trust The Holy Word Ever True
Despised And Rejected
By The Damned Goat-Herd!

You Made A Good Effort
But, Sincerely

Still Willing To Be Taught

I'm Not Yet Totally Convinced!

Brother,
Take Heart!
Do Not Let Lying Eyes Deceive You!
Whatever Man Does As His Job Of Work

- In This Mortal Flesh -

Evil Or Good
Is
Man's Reward!

Every Business Day Has A Closing!
Every Sunsetted Day Has A New Dawn!
Satan And Evil Have A Final Sunset Coming
And
The Good Has The Long-Awaited New Forever Day
Soon To  Dawn!

I'll Share With You

The Word Of Truth

Which Causes Me - With Hope -

To Get Up Every Day With The Dawn:

When You Know The End Of The Story 

You Are Able To Stand Up
In Love
By Faith
For Jesus
And
Bless Your Foes!

Live Like A Champion!
Do Good Always!
Victory Over Sin Is Ours In Jesus' Name!

I Bid You, Adieu ... With Peace

And

I Pray, Sincerely

That I Will See You In The Living Kingdom

At The Welcome Home Saints' Feast!

UNCOMMON SENSE: Bright Eyes And Things Shining

I Had Me A ... Revelation!

Nooo!

Yes, Indeed I Did!

You Don't Say!

Indeed I Do!

I Opened Me Old King James
And
It Was There Plain:

Deception Is Coming!

Don't Trust In Your Eyes

For

They Will Show You

Nothing But Plain Lies!

Eyes Like Things Pretty!

Bright!

Shining!

New!

Eyes Like To Be Drawn
To What Scares
To What Awes
Me And You!

Beware The Things You Covet!
Beware The Coveted Things That Clink!
Beware The Coveted Things Clinking
That Push You Away From Sure Salvation
And
Toward Sure Damnation The Brink!

The Love Of Money 
Is
The Root Of All Kinds Of Evil!
Beware Of The Love Of Money
Which Money, Against Your Soul, Will Testify!
Beware The Liar That Urges You
To Indulge The Grand Folly
By His Artful Machinations
Which Involve Telling You
The Great Lie!

The Thing Bright And Shining
Is
Not Always Good!
The Thing Bright And Shining 
Is Not Always New!
Good Is Not Always Obviously Shining
And
Obviously Old Is Not Always Bad For You!

The Word Of God 
Is
Considered Old!
The Word Of God
Is 
Considered Ever New!

The Word Of God
Is
Unmeasured Treasured
And
It Is Always True
Shining Bright 
And 
Shining Whether Day Or Night 
And
Is Ever Always Good For You!

Now, Dear Ones ...

Take A Tiny Bit Of Uncommon Sense
And
Buy A Good-For-You Clue
And
Know Of A Surety That
Jesus Christ The Righteous
The Lord Of Life
The Shepherd Of Rest
The Rock Of Refuge
The Savior Of Mankind
Sacrificially Loves You
And
Sacrificially Loves Me, Too!

Be Wise Unto Salvation!

Study To Show Thyself Approved!

There Will Not Be A Worldwide Conversion!
All Mankind Will Not Be 

Into The Living Kingdom Of God Saved!
That Is Just Another Gross Lie Of The Devil
So That Man About His Own Soul's Salvation
Will Be Careless
AND
Satan Will Have Each To Be His Personal Slave!

Do You Remember
When We Were In School
And Made A "Foolish Mistake"
And The Teacher Deducted Double Points
Not For The Error
But For
- Of All Things -
"Being Careless!?"

I Sure Do And The Thought Still Stings!

I Firmly Believe That A Similar Situation
- Obviously In A Grander Scale -
Will Play Out For Man!

What On Earth Do You Mean?!

Why Would God "Deducts Points?!"

Think About It:

The Bible Is The Great School Master!

Everything We Need To Know
- To Be Saved -
Is In The Good Book!

If We Neglect The So-Great Salvation
Then
There Is No More Help
For Fallen Man!

... Open The Book ...!

... Seems Pretty Obvious ...!

... Study To SHOW Thyself ...!

... Approved!

Satan Is A Genius
BUT
Jesus Christ IS The Holy God!
Satan Is The Greatest Liar Of All Time
BUT
Jesus Christ Made And Controls Time!

The Question At The Crux Of The Matter Is Still This:

Why Would God Debit Our Account

For Double Or Any Points?!

Simple, I Will Say:

He Gave You, Me

All Of Us

A Teacher's Copy Of The Course Material! 

He Walked Through The Course Himself
Leaving His Results As Crib Notes!
He Sent Adept Tutors To Run Scenarios With You!
He Provides Guides To Influence And Protect
As You Walk Wait Work And In His Truth
Abide!

He Even Gave You The Answers To All The Exam Questions!
He Even Showed You Your Graduation Gown
AND
Your Graduation Gift:

• Immortality
• A Universe Tour
• A Triumphal Entry Into The Eternal City
• A Banquet With The Great King Serving
• A New Name
• A Gold Harp
• A Gold Crown
• A Personal Mansion
• Fruit From The Tree Of Life
• Water From The River Of Water Of Life
• Eternal Life With Christ
• Personal Transport With Wings Of Eagles
• Universal Lecture Tour
• Land On The Earth Made New
• Peace
• Rest
• No More Death 
• No More Sorrow

AND

• No More Tears

Besides
And I Quote:

Hope Turned Into Sight
IS
The Saved Soul's Delight!

This IS Truly Overwhelming!

With Christ As Leader
Man Cannot Fail!

Only A Fool Will Say That
There Is No God!

Satan Is A Fool

Besides Being Really Vilely Wicked!
He Raises Up Himself As God!

Heyyy!
Do You Realize That 

Satan Could Only Tempt Eve 

When She Was In Close Proximity
To The Tree Of Knowledge Of Good And Evil?!

Where Did That Thought Come From?!

Think About It:

As Long As We Stay Close To Christ
The Tree Of Life
AND
Away From The Tree Of The Knowledge Of Good And Evil
- Sin -
Satan Can't Have Pins With Us!
He Is Powerless!

We Are Safe In Christ
Even If We Die Because Of Sinful Men
Powered By Satanic Fury!

When You Read

AND
Study
The Script
The Good Book
Cover To Cover
AND
Know Your Writer
AND
Your Lines
AND
Have Prepared For A Particular Outcome
AND
Are Dressed For The Part
AND
Perform As Specified
By Following All The Marked Cues
The Desired Outcome 

Is 

Guaranteed!

Life With Christ
With Christ As Lead
Lets A Repentant Sinner Live
Faithfully
Doing The Will Of Him
Who Is Lord God
Life And Light
And
Friend To Man
In Word Thought And Deed!

Soooo ...

We're Back To The Place Of Beginning!

The Bottom Line ...

Doubters 

Because Of The Lack Of Working Faith

AND

Refusal To Conduct Due Diligence

Get Damned!

Carelessness Is The Curse!

Soul Salvation Sees The Curse Reversed!

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

Failing An Open-Book Exam

Is

Most Shameful!

Please Do Not Fall For

The Satanic "It Does Not Matter!" Scam!

Study The Good Book

And

Make Jesus Christ

Your Soul's Sole Portion!

Heaven Awaits The Faithful!

Personal Effort vs Evil!?!

You Should Have Known Better!

I Do Know Better But ...!

... No But's!
Remember What Martin Luther The Reformer Said:

In The Fight Against Evil

Neither Human Intellect

Nor Wisdom

Will Suffice!

We Are Not To Depend On Personal Effort By Self!
We Are To Pray And Trust God
AND
Rely On The Gracious Influence Of The Holy Spirit!

There's Nothing In Us
That Can Overthrow Evil!
That Is The Work Of The Almighty God!

I Know! I Know!

You Knew Then But ...?!

... I Felt Invincible!
I Knew The Word!
I Was God's Man O' Business!
I Was Certain It Was The Lord's Voice
That I Had Plainly Heard Speaking!

Uh, Huh!
You Led
AND
You Totally Expected The Eternal God
The King Of Creation
The Righteous Judge
Our Peace
The Blessed Hope
Our Refuge And Strength
Our Very Present Help
In Time Of Trouble
Our Hope For Years To Come
Our Shelter In The Time Of Storm ...!

... Enough! Enough!
I Get It!
I Let Self ... Lead ... And ...!

... You Were Suitably ...!

... Humbled!
I Was Humbled!

Okay!
That Was Yesterday!
This IS The New Day!
Our God's Mercies Are New Every Morning
AND
We Have Work To Do!

Who Are You?!
A Willing Servant Of The Almighty God!

What Is The Task?!

Spread The Gospel Of Peace
And Speak Truth In Righteousness!

How?!

In Season!
Out Of Season!

Who Is Our Leader?!
Jesus Christ The Lord!

Is This A Work Of Love Or For Lucre!

Lu...Love! Love! Love!

Who Has All The Answers?!
Jesus Christ The Lord!

Who Is The Answer?!
Jesus Christ The Lord!

Who Is The Light Of The World?!
Jesus Christ The Lord!

How Are We Living?!
By Faith?!

From Whom Do We Get Our Faith?!
Jesus Christ The Lord!

Will We Receive Faith For Tomorrow, Today?!

We Receive Faith For The Day!

Do We Have Tomorrow In Our Hands!
Tomorrow Is Not Promised!

What Is The Promise?!
Life With Christ
Through Working Faith, Love

Trust And Obedience And Sincere Worship!

Where Will You Walk?!

On The Straight And Narrow Path!

Who Will You Allow To Influence You?!

The Holy Angels

Who Have A Vested Interest In My Soul's Salvation!

God's Grace Is ...?!
... Sufficient For Me!

When And/Or How Will You Prayer?!

Instantly, Constantly, Fervently, Unceasingly!

Say A Prayer!

Lord, Have Mercy!

AMEN!!

Go In Peace, Brother
To Love And Faithfully Serve To Love And Serve
Jesus Christ 
Our Savior, Lord And God!

Peace Be Upon You!

Evil Does Evil: Good!

Evil Chose Rebellion
AND
Against The Direct Command Of God

Against God
Stood!

Good Chose Obedience
AND
Adhering To The Direct Command Of God
In God's Approval
Stood!

Evil Believed In His Own Work
His Own Merits!
Good Believed In The Work Of
The Promised Savior
His Redeemer
AND
By Faith
Did The Right!

He Walked Not Be Sight!

Good Did Good
AND
Evil
- Resenting The Good Things
The Right Things
That Good Did -
In Anger Killed Good
For Good Is From God

Is For God

AND
Was In Evil's Side 

A Sharp Cruel

Self-Denying

Hurtful Thorn!

And, So You Have It ...

Good Blood
Through Bad Blood
- By Evil -
Was Killed!
Good Red Blood Was Spilled

BUT

It Was To Evil No Fillip!

God Saw It All!

Good
- Through Evil -
Was The First Human Casualty
Of The Fall
BUT

Actually The Casualty Called Second
For An Innocent Lamb
Representing The Spotless Lamb Of God To Come
Was Laid Out For Sacrifice
Before Active Evil Had Ever Hit 

The Newly Cursed With Work Ground!

Good Was Abel!
Evil Was Cain!

AND
Cain And Abel
Represent
The Two Classes Of People
Who Will Be Alive On Earth
At The Time Of The End
At The End Of Time!

What A Time!

Such A Time!

That Time Will Not Be Peaceful
AND
Assuredly
Not Sublime!

Those Who Choose To Honor God
AND

Do Good
Honoring His Commandments All
Will Be Hated 

AND

Ill-Treated
Even Killed
By Those Who Delight In Doing Evil
Because Doing Good
Sticks In The Craw Of Evil-Doers
Who All Have
The Same Attitude 

As That Of The Millennia-Old And Bold Fraud!
They. Hate. God!

Again ...

Evil Will Offer Good The Opportunity
For Good To Side With Evil
AND
Against God
BUT
Good
- In Refusing To Join Evil
In Evil-Doing For Common Good -
Will Have Evil Done Unto Him

Well ... Just Because!

Please Do Not Think You Are Special
- Though You Are!
Your Savior
Christ Jesus
Was Singled Out First
AND

Since Our Master
Got A Full Bowl Of "The Treatment!"
Let's Accept Our Little Glass
As A Badge Of Honor
AND
Rejoice For The Purchased Salvation Coming
For We, Brethren
Shall Have The Last
AND
The Longest
Belly Laugh!

Please Do Not Let Yourself Be Tempted

By Putting Yourself 

In Temptation's Way!
He Who Tempts You To Sin
Is A Soul Lost
Preferring Red Bean Stew
Over The Feast At The Glorious King's Banqueting
AND
Welcome Home Table
AND
Wants You
To Miss The Celebration
For The Faithful Just And True Few!

A Broke Merchant
Cares Not
Whose Business He Breaks Down
AND
Neither Does Satan
For Those He Joyfully Leads
Into Open Rebellion

Against The Sustainer

The God Of Creation!

So ...

Pray To The Living God
For Free Grace
AND
Firm Faith
AND
Hold On
Enduring All
So As Not To Make Shipwreck
Of Your Portion
Of Our Beloved Christ's For-You Sacrifice
AND
Faith!

Let Your Faith
Be Up Front And Forward!
Let Your Obedience To God Show
That In Adversity's Face
You Are Not The Coward

BUT

A Covered-With-Innocent-Blood True Christian!

March With Faith Forward!

Put Christ In Front Of You
AND
He Will Cover You
Top Bottom
Left Right
Front And Behind
AND
Leave Satan In Faith's Dust
Choking
On His Own Actions
Asinine!

Our Christ Is God Divine!

Jesus Gave His All
For You
For Me!!
Jesus Took Evil's All
So That Returned To The Father
We May Be!

Let Not Evil
Kill Your Hope Tree
AND
In The Glorious Day
Shiloh ... Our Peace
- In Peace -
You Will See!

Let 

"Come Glorious Day!"
Be Our Constant

Heartfelt Prayer!
