We Keep A Clean House 

But 

Have Dirty Minds! 

We Display Beautiful Faces 

But 

Practice Ugly Habits! 

We War With Each Other 

But 

With The Devil ... Not So Much!

We Decry Bad Behavior In Others 

But 

Excuse It In Ourselves! 

We Elevate Known Wickedness In Our Favorites As Self-Expression 

And

Denigrate Faithful Christians As Holy-Rollers And Jesus-Freaks! 

Beloved, 

Upside-Down Back-To-Front "Wisdom" 

Is 

Worthless, Useless, And Pointless 

For Both Seller And Buyer 

And

Believing That Satan Is Your Friend 

Because 

He Says Do What You Desire

And That 

Wrong Is Right 

Is 

Going To Book You A Berth In The Lake Of Fire! 

We Cannot Paint Truth Black 

And 

Color Lies White 

In The Belief That It Will Change Their Character: 

It Won't! 

Let's Just Accept That The Word Of God 

Is 

Ever True 

And 

Is Good To Fix What Ails Me And You! 

Join The Clean-Heart Club: 

Look Up To 

And

Put On Jesus Christ 

And 

Really Live! 

Peace!

WALK IN WISE WAYS: Don't Be A Tormented Loser!

A True Christian Cannot Be A Christian In Name 

And

A Liar 

And 

A Thief By Nature: 

Our Walk Must Match Our Talk! 

The World Should Be Able To Set Its Clocks By Our Word 

And 

Know That It Is True 

Because 

They Know That We Are With Jesus Christ The Righteous

And 

Are Therefore Known Not To Be Dirty In The Dark 

And

Are Clocked As Uncompromising As Regards The Truth! 

Simply Put, Brethren Beloved

Our Morning Aka Daylight Words 

And 

Our Night-Time Aka Dark-Night Works 

Are Measurable On The Same Scale Of 

Honesty And Integrity! 

Beloved, 

No Matter What The World Is Offering To You 

Or 

Threatening Against You

Never Take The Low Road

The Path Of Least Resistance

Or 

The Way Of Comfort And Convenience! 

The Facts Stand ... 

Telling Lies For Pleasure And Profit 

And

Being A Thief Of Things, Property Or Reputation

Marks One As Being Unfaithful To Our Dear Savior

Unworthy To Bear The Family Name 

And

Unfit For Promotion To The Eternal Kingdom! 

Choice And Chance ... 

Let Us Choose To Be Contented In Christ Always! 

Let Us Choose To Use Our Opportunities Now

- While There Is Still Time -

To Get Rid Of All Cultivated And Known Bad Habits 

And 

Tendencies To Sin That Easily Beset Us

Which Will Cost Us Our Name 

And

Our Gifted Claim To The Living Kingdom! 

Remember, Remember

Don't Ever Forget ...

Liars Lose 

And 

Thieves Are Tormented: 

Don't Be A Tormented Loser! 

Live For Jesus Christ The King

And 

Walk In Wise Ways!

YOU KNOW THE TRUTH: Dare To Be Brave!

Are You Safe!?! 

Do You Know That You Are Safe 
Under The Banner Of The Almighty God 

Or 
Are You Trusting The Say-So
The Personal Experience Of Another Person 

To Know That You Are Safe In The Lord Christ
The Eternal King
The Faithful And Just Judge!?! 

All Who Enter The Kingdom Of Glory 
Will Have Their Own, Personal, Relationship With Jesus

Will Know What He Says

Will Eagerly Do His Will

And 

Will Walk Wisely, From Grace To Glory
Because 

They Know The Voice Of Christ Jesus

Have Made An Unshakeable Commitment To Him

And 

Walk With Assurance In His Word ... According To His Will 

Because Of 

Love, And Real Trust! 

Trust In The Lord 

And 

Be As Mount Zion 

For There Is Where You Shall Eternally Abide! 

Work Your Faith, Experience Life In Christ Here 

And 

Be Blessed Forever With Life With Christ In Zion! 

The Facts Remain ...

We Who Call Ourselves Christians
Have Got To Take A Stand
And
Let The Whole World Definitively Know That
We Are Committed Followers Of
The Son Of The Eternal Holy God
Jesus Christ The Righteous
The Loving Son Of Man!

It Is Getting Toward Crunch Time
And Therefore
Not Time To Grow Weary, Be Afraid, Or Faint
Because
It Is Time To Wear The Whole Armor Of God
As Befits His Living Saints!

You Know Truth: Live It!
You Know The Holy Way: Walk Boldly On It!
You Are A Lamp: Burn Brightly!
Brethren,
It Is Time To Awaken From Sleep
You Who Are Jesus Christ's Faithful Lambs And Sheep!

You Are Not Forsaken: Trust The Promise!
Holy Angels Are Protecting You: Be Brave!
Now Is Not The Time To Be A Doubter
Or To Revert To Being A Sin-Slave!

We Have Perfect Peace!
We Have Available Grace!
We Have Mercy Ever Free
And
We Do, Indeed, Have The Perfect Love Of Our King Jesus
Who To The Father's House Of Joys Forevermore And Rest
Is
The Sure ... The Only ... Key!

Jesus Christ Does For Us What No Created Hand Can
So Dare To Be Brave
And
Reach For The Extended Holy Hand
Which Is So Scarred And So Gentle
Which Is Sheltering Strong
Which Was Extended, Pinned, For Our Salvation
Where For Us Sacrificial Love Is Always Found!
In His Embrace, We Belong!

Dare To Be Brave!
Dare To Hope And Trust!
Dare By Faith To Endure What Must Come
And
Know For A Surety
In The Glad Throng At The Last Trumpet
You Shall Surely Be Found!

Jesus Christ Saves!

The Love Of God

A Pretty Face does not make one Beautiful and
A Certain Name can make one feel Shame, but
The Love of God is The Only Prescription
That Heals all that causes Human Pain!

Being Rich does not make one Wealthy and
Lacking Money does not mean one is Poor, but
Not knowing The Kind and Gentle Love of King Jesus
Is what makes Life on Earth a Burden, a Bother, a Bore  and a Chore!

Worldly Riches minus God equal Undesirable End
Rich Food without Heaven's Oil is as Dry Bread
Faith without Work is just as useful
As Teasing a Ravenous Lion and then Patting Him on His Toothy Hairy Head!

Loving The Lord Jesus does have its Man-made Downsides
Loving the Lord Jesus has Glorious Heavenly Eternal Perks
#StayingWithJesusForTheDistance - Resisting that Old Satan
Will lift one up to The Lord
Who Rules Over Heaven and its Attending Awe-inspiring Infinite Works!

Believe and Be Blessed!

God Fixes The Mess!

Field Your Request -

God Heals The Faithful Person's Distress!

"The Futile Task!"

In this, My Annual Day of Introspection
I have decided to embark on "The Futile Task!"

That I have received without ... gasp!! ... Almighty God!

I Get 

All of The Above Blessings

BECAUSE of BLOVE!

Spilt Blood + Love  = Blove

Also, in this My Annual Day of Introspection, I shall remind Myself, perhaps while pontificating, that there is ONE THING, that I can do in My Life, for Myself, for which I do not need God's Help, or Blessing:

I Gain Hell

and

Lose Heaven

by 

Believing The Liar

and

Denying The Savior!

But, By God's Grace

I Stand Firm in Jesus' Faith

and

 If Hell is a Gain

Give Me The Loss!

*****

Give Me ... JESUS!

Nobody but JESUS!

You can have This Old World

With its Tarnished Silver 

and Fool's Gold

False Prophets and

Giant-sized Horned-Goat Fold

Just Give Me ... JESUS!!

Never Alone!

Noah - Faithful!

Abraham - Friend!

And David?

A Man After God's Own Heart!

Oh, to be a Faithful Friend after God's Own Heart!

What a Declaration
Coming from The Mouth of God!

To be considered faithful by God
To be considered God's own friend
And to hear God claim Me as a servant after His Own Heart
Will bless My Frail Heart no end!

Oh, Loving God

Gracious!

Supreme!

Oh, how on this day

My Soul doth beam

All bright with Blessing from Your Throne!

I walk as One - never alone

Covered by The Blood

That truly does Atone!

I give You Praise!
