THE STAGE CALLED LIFE: Couples Ministry!?!

They Were All Around:

Doubt And Disobedience
Light And Life
Truth And Righteousness
Confession And Repentance
Mercy And Grace
Peace And Rest
Love And Trust
Hell And Damnation
Sin And Self
Death And Destruction
Test And Trial
Blessing And Obedience
And, As Always
Doubt And Disobedience
Were Giving The Session
Their Warped Version Of The Good Life!

Goodness, As Usual, Sat Alone!
Evil, As Usual, Was On His Smart Phone!
Sweet Temptation Was On A Fishing Expedition

And
Red Torment Was Coordinating His Positions!

Salvation Had Been From Heaven Brought Down!

Forgiveness Was Turning Man Away

From Being Satan And Known Sin's Slave!

Bread And Water Assured Walked In The Open Door
Even As Strange Fire Sought To Make  

Mercy And Grace OutTo Be Bold Liars

Or Ineffective Clones!

They Were Not Alone! 

Kindness And Bliss Rested Calmly
Totally, Totally
Ignoring That Serpent's Hiss
Even As The Dragon Flailed About
And
The Lion Raging, Roared
As He Marked An Upcoming Score!

This Is The Stage Called Life!
The Life Of Man Is Fraught With Strife!
The Strife Is Necessary To Overcome
If 
Man Will Rise Up To The Realm Of
Him Who Left The Good Example
For Striving Man To Walk In!

There Is No Need

- Man Afraid -

To Walk Alone On The Edge Of The Sharp Knife!

In The Faith Of Jesus Christ

Pick The Way-To-Eternal-Life Side!

He Will, With You

By His Holy Spirit ... Abide!

From Sin, Self And Satan

Turn Aside! Turn Aside!
And
In The God Of All Graces
Humbly Abide!
The Holy Spirit Of Truth
Will Comfort You As Well As Chide!
In The Savior Jesus, Brethren
Let's All Confidently Confide!

HAPPY SABBATH: Liberty In Jesus Christ

People Of God
Look Around You!
Don't You See False Prophets Everywhere?
Don't You Know That They Are Here To Mislead You
AND
Of The Living God They Have No Fear?

Yon Minister Teaches
That Man's Soul Is Immortal!
Over There The Minister Teaches
God Must Your Willful Unrepented Of Sin
Forgive!
Over Yonder The Minister Preaches
That He Can Forgive Your Sin
AND
That Right Living Is An Impossibility
For Human Beings Like Him!

Two Streets Over
The Preacher Says
Sin Is Not Sin If You Love The Lord!
Next Door To Him
The Teacher Preaches That
We Can Sin But
We Must Pay God For A Forgiveness Award!
AND
The Big Man With The Mega Massive Church
Up On The Hill
Says That God Must Save You
Because A Sinner Is What He Created You To Be 
AND
He Can't Leave You In The Lurch!

And, Then ...

There Are Those Who Maliciously Choose To Teach
Another Christ
Another Gospel
Another Eternal Life
Another Hope
Another Way To Pray
AND
All Things To Which Prosperity Leads The Way!

BUT ...

Take Heed!
Let No Man Deceive You!
God Is Not Mocked!
Man Does Not Wind God's Not-A-Clock!
God Keeps His Own Records!
God's Word Is Sacrosanct
AND
Doing The Work Of The Devil Means
Those Who Walk Contrary 
Will By Fire And Brimstone
Be With Malice Severely Spanked!

God's Holy Spirit-Converted
Faithful
Obedient
Steadfast
Enduring People
Cannot Be Deceived
By Blighters On Satan's Dole!
They Cannot Be Wrecked Like Ships On
The Unexpected Shoal
Nor 
Can They Ever Be Diverted From Achieving
The Promised Heavenly Goal!

People Of God
I Beseech You To
Be Diligent
AND
Read Your King James Bible
AND
Constantly 
Fervently Pray!
Please Ask The Holy Spirit For Guidance
AND
Walk In Faith That Holds No Doubt
Along The Long 
Narrow 
AND
Tested
Holy Way!

Look Not Right
Nor Left!
Look Up
AND
Look Straight
At The Son
AND
From Licensed Evil Doers
Don't Just Walk 
BUT
Cut And Run!

Know Of A Surety That
Your Destruction
Is A Satanic Goal!
That Your Salvation
Has Been Bought
BUT
Can't Be Sold!
Your Will Given Over To God
Is Secure In Him
AND
There's Nothing That Satan
Can Wrest Away 
From Jesus Christ The King!

Don't Play Bingo
Nor Lotto
Nor Bet On A Horse!
Don't Consult Ouija Boards
Familiar Spirits
Nor Ghosts Made Of Colored Gas!
Trust In Him
Whose Heart Is Set On You
AND
Love Him Who Knows You Better
Than You Know You!

Liberty 
In Jesus Christ The Lord
Is Good For Eternity!
Liberty By Mammon 
Is A Thing That Will Always Pass!
Give To God His Glory!
He Is The First 
AND
He Is Last
The Alpha And Omega
On Whom
A Safe Lot For Eternal Life
Is Perfectly Cast!

Let Your Faith

Become Fire

To Consume You!
