DON'T BE A REPROBATE: Choose The Life-Giver!




To Love The Lord Jesus
To Be Kind In His Holy Name
To Do Right Because It Is Good
To Trust The Living Word And Not Fear The Word Of Man
To Speak Truth In Righteousness
To Walk Wise And Not Act The Fool
And 
To Lift Up The Lord 
And
Never Instigate Evil 
Are All Personal Choices To Be Constantly 
And 
Consistently Made By Us 
As Christians Committed To The Cause Of Our Lord Jesus Christ! 

Beloved, 

Praying Without Ceasing 
And 
Exercising Faith First, Last, And Always 
Is 
A Personal Choice That Eternally Profits! 

Doubting The Word Of God 
While Calling On The Name Of The Lord 
Reaps Us No Reward Or Benefit 
And
That, Too, Is Our Personal Choice! 

Please Never Forget That 
We Reap What We Sow 
And
We Eat What We Grow 
And
We Walk Where Our Mind Wanders! 

If We Choose To Longingly Follow After Christ
We Will ... By Faith ... Permit Our Minds To Be With Him 
In The Most Holy Place Of The Heavenly Sanctuary! 

If Jesus Is In Us By The Holy Spirit Of Truth
Then We Will Not Wonder About Sin
And 
Wander Into Transgression 
And 
Hang A Hard Left Into Iniquity 
And 
End Up As Reprobates 
To Be Cast Into Outer Darkness 
By Our Own Choosing! 

Let Us This Day Choose To Make Wise 
And 
Eternally Profitable Choices 
No Matter Who By Or For What 
We May Be Cursed At And Ridiculed! 

May It Be Your Choice Today To Smile With Hope 
And
Let The Light Of The Life-Giver 
Gloriously Shine Into Every Dark Area Of Your Life! 

Peace!

TALKING A LOT AND DOING NOTHING: Time To Exercise Faith!

... I Have A Bible!

Do You Read It!?!

I Wear A Cross!

Do You Bear Your Cross!?!

I Talk To God!

Do You Listen To God!?!

I Follow The Rules!?!

Do You Follow The Laws Of God!?!

I Am A Child Of God!

Are You A Servant Of God!?!

I Am A Student Of The School Of Jesus!

Are You Becoming Like Jesus!?!

Brethren,

We Can All Say Something Nice
About Our Relationship With Almighty God
But
Is Our Something Satisfactory, Pleasing, To The Lord
Or Does It Excite Satan, The God-Fraud!?!

Oh, Dear!

Nice Expression But Ain't Worth A Lot!
Nice Expression That Can Lead To The Blot!
Nice Expressions Don't Lead To God's Favor
Unless That Expression 
Is
Based And Built Upon Righteousness
And
Gives Off A Heavenly Savor!

Oh, Dear!

Oh, Dear, Indeed!

We All Talk A Good Deal
And
We Say All The Right-Sounding Words
But
Our Thoughts Prior Are Terrible
And
Our Subsequent Actions Are Abominable!

Do You Realize That Not One Of Us Said That
We Are Faithful
Living By Faith
Walking Under The Banner Of The Lord Christ
And
Striving Not To Be A Cast Out Disgrace!?!

I Noticed That No One Said Anything
About Endurance 
About Enduring All Things For The Lord
About Seeking To Gain The Mastery Over Self
About Denying The Works Of The Devil
About Overcoming Sin
In The Name Of Jesus Christ
Who Died Sickeningly To Save Us All ...!

... And Don't Nobody Say "Oh, Dear!"
We Are All Guilty!

Friends, Let's Get Real!
We Could Spend All Night At This "Funeral"
But If We Don't Seek To Change
Our Real Funeral Will Be In The Lake Of Fire!

Chrissy, You Said Earlier That
You Talk To God But That You Don't Know
What It Is That You Should Be Hearing For An Answer!

Yes, I Did!
I Often Wonder What Is The Voice I'm Hearing
Because The Very Thing I Ask For Help Not To Do
Is The Very Thing I End Up Doing ...!

... Because 
You Are Relying On Your Self
And
Not On The Word Of The Living God!

The Living, Holy, Word Of The Eternal God
Is Never 
Contradicted By The Voice Of
The Holy Spirit ... Of Truth ... Of The Eternal God!

AMEN!!!

Okay!
Let's Talk Turkey Aka Jesus Christ's Gift To Us!






The Lord Gives Unto Each Of Us 
A Daily Measure Of His Faith ... For That Day
And 
The Strength To Exercise It ... To Work It
Because 
Faith Without Work Is Dead! 

Living By Faith Is Hard
And
Easy
And 

A Necessity! 

We Are Saved By God's Grace 
Through The Exercising Of Our Gift Of Faith 
So Let Us Dare To Trust The Lord At His Word
And
Obey Him
And
Walk Boldly In His Light 
To Receive Our Sure Blessings Today
And
Every Day! 

Blessings Always Await The Faithful!

Remember Old Sister Cheryl's Prayer:


Oh, Lord!
Please Work On Me!
Please Work With Me!
Please Work Through Me!
Please Work For Me!
Please Work By Me ... Forever!

The One Thing I Would Correct About That Prayer
Is The Line Which Says:


Please Work With Me!

Why Would You Correct That Line!?!

Simple:

If The Lord Is Working With Us 
To Help Us To Avail Ourselves Of His Blessings
And
We Do Not Cooperate With Him
We Achieve Nothing!

I Get Your Point
So I Would Now Pray, Saying:


Dear Lord,
Please Help Me To Work With You
And
Please Help Me
To Energetically Utilize
My Daily Gift Of Faith
And
To Wholly, Enduringly
Cooperate With You
To The Saving Of My Purchased Soul
And
To Bless Others
In Jesus Christ's Matchless, Holy, Name!

AMEN!!!
