Of Hearts And Treasures!

When The Worldly-Wise Hear True-To-The-Class Christians Say That 

There Is Treasure Laid Up For Us In Heaven

They Look At Us As Though We Have Sprouted Extra Heads! 

Beloved, 

There Is Nothing Wrong With Being Rich 

Unless You Forget The Living God 

And 

Your Wealth Becomes Your God! 

There is Something Wrong With Us And Our Wealth 

If 

It Is Gotten By Fraud And Through Robbing The Poor! 

Dear Ones, 

We, As Practicing Christians, Should Tremble 

And 

Be In Fear Aka In Awe Of The Lord 

When We Read The Scripture Warning Us That 

Our Hearts Follow Our Treasures! 

We Should Remember The Story Of 

The Rich Young Ruler Who Knew The Scriptures

Obeyed The Law Of The Lord

But 

Chose His Numerous Visible Things Over His Lord Christ 

Who Offered Him Treasure Unknown And Unimaginable

In The Future Day Of God's Appointing! 

We Should Also Consider Abraham, Job, And Jacob 

Who Looked Forward To The Better Treasure 

While Being Liberal With What They Possessed! 

We May Also Learn Harsh Lessons From The Lives Of 

Prophet Balaam

Disciple Judas Iscariot

And 

Ananias And His Wife Sapphira 

Whose Hearts Were Totally Corrupted! 

They Lost Their Lives Twice 

Since They Will Not Be Participants In The Receipt Of 

The Gift Of Everlasting Life! 

Is Your Heart Right With God!?! 

Do You Recognize That Treasure Aka Wealth 

Is 

Just A Purpose-Built Tool 

Which Carves Out A Living 

But 

Cannot Give, Retain, Or Restore Life!?! 

Is Jesus Christ Really Your Everlasting Portion!?! 

Think About It! 

Peace! 

There Is No Oliver Twist Seated At The Table Of The Lord!

Nobody Seated At The Lord's Table 

Will Ever Have To Do An Oliver Twist 

And 

With Hunger Pangs

In The Shocked Hearing Of 

The Assembled Multitudes Of Likewise Famished, Ask: 

"Please, May I Have Some More!?!" 

Beloved, 

Our Blessed Benefactor With No Equal

Who Owns The Cattle On A Thousand Hills 

And 

Every Last Thing In All Creation

Has No Need To Issue Short Rations To Save Costs 

And

At The Same Time 

Line His Deep Pockets By Fraud! 

Dear Ones, 

Use Your Access 

And 

Your Humble Words Of Hope, Trust, And Faith! 

Boldly Ask "Bigly" For Your Blessings Known Bountiful! 

Just Remember, Though, That 

You Can't Ask The Lord For What Won't Bless You 

And

Glorify His Dear Name! 

Check The Living Word Which Is A Transcript Of 

The Holy God's Unchanging, Unchangeable, Character! 

The Word Works! 

Peace!

Don't Be At Odds With Almighty God!

How Does One Pray For A Presumptuous Person 

Who Knowingly, Maliciously, Energetically

Aggressively Indulges In Evil-Doing 

While They Gloatingly Say That This Is Who They Are 

And

That They Can't Change!?! 

Only The Living God

May Say:

I AM That I AM!

The First Thing To Note Is That 

The Only Being That Cannot Change 

Is 

Almighty God 

So That Must Mean That That Person Is Almighty God! 

The Problem With That Assumption, Though

Is 

That Almighty God Does Not Do Evil 

So Whoever This Cannot-Change Person Is

They Are A Fraud ... A False God 

And As Such 

They Are Putting Themselves At Odds With The Eternal God 

Who Has Clearly Stated That 

We Should Have No Others Gods But The Lord! 

Beloved, 

We Must Tread Softly Before The Living God! 

When The Ark Of God Almighty Was Placed In The Temple Of 

The Philistine Fish-God, Dagon

It Came To A Destructive End With It Being Toppled Over 

And 

With Its Head And Hands Severed! 

Who Can Live Without A Head!?! 

How Do We Pray For "Motivated" Evil-Doers!?! 

By The Grace Of The Eternal God

We Pray For Their Deliverance From Destruction And Death 

By Them Humbly Giving 

Their Own Willing Confession And Repentance Of Their Known Sin! 

We Pray That They Will Cooperate With Christ 

By Letting The Holy Spirit Do His Necessary Work In Their Life! 

I Pray To Almighty God That 

None Of Us Are Counted Amongst The Unrepentant 

In The Day Of The Settlement Of Accounts 

With Jesus Christ The Lord! 

Dear Lord, 

Please Help Us To Yield To You

And

Be Wholly Thine! 

AMEN!!! 

Peace Be Upon You!

ATTIRE ... For Fire?!

I Looked Like A Christian!
I Lived Like A Fraud!
I Fooled The World
BUT
I Was Not Fooling God!

He Looked Like A Sinner!
He Trusted In The Lord!
The World Despised Him
BUT
His Heart Belonged To The Holy God!

Man Looks At The Outward Appearance!
The Living God Looks At The Heart!
Man's Attire Will Not Get One Into Heaven
BUT
Will Earn Him 
- From The Eternal - 
A

"From Me Depart!"

What Are YOU Wearing?
What Clothes Your Heart?
Is It Things That Will Burn You
Or
Things That Burn Sin From Your Heart?

Jesus Christ Is The Answer
To All My Questionings
AND
Obedience To The Law Of God
Will Give Life
All The Best Flavorings!

Let Us Endeavor To Do Good
So That Good Will Attend Us!
Let Us Seek The Clothing
That The Living God Custom Made For Us!
Let Us Take God's Truth
Into Our Inward Parts
AND
Let Us With Sin Break Up
So That The Devil Will From Us
With Alacrity Depart!

Satan's Cheap T'ings

Ain't Nuh Good

So Choose To Wear

The Best Attire

That Has Been Purchased

With Innocent Blood

And

Which Will Surely Exempt You

From

A Trip Into Damnation's Fire!

Problem
Big Problem

• Get Wisdom!
• Get Understanding!
• Do What The Word Says!

And On!
And On ...!

BUT ...

When I Read About
Putting Christ First In One's Life's Dealings
THAT
Is Where My Antennae Perked
Rose Up!

I Had No Problem
With The Word Of The Good Book
BUT
I Had Me A Real Problem
With The Book Of The Lived Life
For
When The Lived-Life Book
Diverges From 
The Good Book Of Life
Of The Life To Be Lived
It Can Be Seen Of A Surety
That
The Good Book Of Life
Has No Part In
The Life Book
Of The Life Lived!

Tongue Twister Alert!!

Mind Bender Is More Like It!

People Read The Bible
AND
They Believe The Word
BUT
Then They See The Lives Lived
By Practicing Real-Life Christians
AND
Their Belief Gets Treated
As One Would A Dog Turd!

Christian Lives Speak
More Loudly
Than The Book That They Bespeak
When The Christian Living
Eclipses
The Word Of The Lord
BECAUSE
The Living Of The Christian
SAYS
That Their Living IS Sinning
For They Take
What The Devil Is Giving
AND
Their Lived Lives
DENY
The Word Of The Only God Living!

Wait! Wait! Wait!
Enough With The Mind Bends!
Cut To The Chase!
Give Me A Plain Word
... If You Can!

Okay. Okay!
It Is Like This:

The Christian Life
Should Be Identical To
The Very Life Of Christ!
The Life A Christian Leads
Should Comport
With The Good Book They Read
AND
To Others Sell
AND SHOULD NOT BE
The Book Is Good
BUT
The Real Life Is Lived
As One Who Works
For The Very Devil From Hell!
That's A Hard Sell!

Strong Words ...!

... Nevertheless The Truth!

Shouldn't The Life Lived 
Say
That The One Reading The Good Book
IS
By The Good Book Daily Fed?!

Indeed!
Nevertheless
Too Many Of Us Christians
Live ... To Straddle The Fence!
We Want To Tell The World
What To Do
BUT
We Have No Time Ourselves
To Do What The Good Book Says To Do!

Preachhhhhh!

Do As I Say
AND
Not As I Do
IS
A Sure Fire Way
To Get God
To Let Go Of You
FOR
What We Will Be Doing
IS
A Little Good Living
AND
A Little Good Sinning
AND THEREBY
We Are Telling God
That He Is Not Good Enough
Nor
God Enough
To Get Us To Stop Sinning
So That The Saintly Life Lived
Is Our New Life Beginning!

Sounds Kinda Presumptuous, Doesn't It?!

It Is
BUT
We Still Do It Anyhow!

Isn't That Being A Bold Sinner?!

It Is!

Imagine This:

Cemetery

Grave

Grave Stone

Epitaph:

Here Lies Good Christian!

He Was A Good And Complete Fraud!

He Walked Good With The Devil

AND

He Preached Good For The Lord!

You Lie!!

No, I Don't!
If You See
How Some Of Us Christians Live
You Will Know Of A Surety
That For The Word Of The Living God
They Give Not A Single Fig!

A Picture Is Worth A Thousand Words!

Is Your Picture
A Picture Of Your Words
Or
Is Your Picture A Negative Of The Words
That Others
- From You -
Have Heard?

Something To Think About ...!

... Seriously!
