Vespers At The End Of The Sabbath: Who Guides Your -Ship!?!


KJV Ephesians 5:15-16
15 See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise,
16 Redeeming the time, because the days are evil.

-Ships Abound! 
What Kind Of -Ship Is Yours!?! 

We Can Be Like Jesus And To Accomplish This
We Are Each Offered A Lifetime Apprenticeship 
In The Righteousness School Of King Jesus Aka The King Of Love
Where The Teacher, Not Professor Nor Educator
Is 
The Holy Spirit Of God 
Who Leads The Diligent Apprentices Into All Truth! 

Beloved, 

Interestingly Enough And Sadly
There Is The Malevolent Spirit Running Amok 
Who Is Also Offering Free Apprenticeships 
To His About-Me School 
Where Advanced Placement GS&P Classes 
Are The Hot Ticket! 

Strangely Enough
There Is Not A Step Up To A Brighter Day Celebration 
For Any Of The Thousands Of Years That 
The Malevolent Spirit's About-Me School Has Been In Existence! 

On The Other Hand, Dear Ones
What Is Amazingly Beautiful About The King Of Love's School Of Righteousness 
Is 
That It Has A Parallel -Ship Class 
For All Of Those Students In Its Apprenticeship Program Of Education! 

It Is Called Friendship 
And 
It Gives All Apprentices Direct Anytime Access To 
The Creator-Owner
Founder-Operator
Sustainer-Maintainer Of The School 
Where Grace And Mercy 
And 
Justice And Peace Are Its Hallmarks! 

The Apprentices Remaining Therein To The Program's Completion 
Are Eternally Blessed! 

Brethren Beloved, 

In The Name Of Jesus Christ The Lord 
Understand That To Be Forewarned 
Is 
To Be Forearmed 
So Please Make A Note-Well Warning 
In Your Need To Know File! 

The King Of Love 
Is 
Your, My, Our Forever Friend! 


The Malevolent Spirit 
Is 
The Now-Present Fiend 
And 
His Advanced Placement GSP Classes 
Are For Intensive Tutoring In Greed, Selfishness And Pride 
Which Gives Its Apprentices A Hot Ticket To Hell 
On The Day That The Judge Of All Flesh Appoints! 

The Malevolent Spirit Has Already Been Found Wanting 
And 
Has Been Judged And Condemned! 

Please, I Beseech Us All
Be Purposeful And Intentional In Your Grace-Filled Walk And Work 
For The Judge, Prince Immanuel, The King Of Love: 
He Equips All Of His Apprentices With Faith For Today ... Every Day! 
Be Wise! 
Peace!

Salvation Is Not A Gamble!


There Is No Gambling With Jesus Christ The Lord! 

Beloved, 

A Word Of Caution! 

We Do Not Get A Chance At Salvation: 
There Is No Risk Involved! 

We Do Not Have An Opportunity For Salvation: 
There Is No Investment Involved! 

We Have Been Given The Gift Of Salvation: 
There Is The Matter Of Acceptance Required! 

Dear Ones, 

If I ... A Mere Mortal
- A Finite Being With A Published Expiration Date -
Am Your FFL Aka Friend For Life 
And I Alert You To Expect A Wonderful Gift By Special Delivery
Same Day Service, Signature Required
And Provide You With The Tracking Information
And Sign You Up For The "Delivery In Progress!" Package Notification
Wouldn't You Be At Your Front Door Waiting
Big Smile, Arms Outstretched
Itching To Have That Package In Your Hot Little Hands 
Because 
You Have Faith In Our Friendship, Our Relationship 
And 
You Want Whatever It Is That I Have Sent 
Because  My Gifts Never Disappoint!?! 

I Can't Give You The Breath Of Life
Seal You Against The Day Of Vengeance
Nor Give You The Crown Of Life 
But
You Trust Me And Believe Me
A Fallible Human
At My Imprecise, Changeable Word! 

What's Wrong With This Picture!?! 

Think About It And Do The Necessary! 

Trust, And Trust In, The Eternal God 
Who Always Gives Good And Perfect Gifts! 

Peace!

Faithfulness Encompasses Your T.O.E.S.







Wisdom Says That A Friend In Need 
Is 
A Friend Indeed! 

The Elders Said That It Is Good To Have A Friend 
And
Bad To Want One! 

Are You A Friend!?! 
Can Your Friendship Be Trusted ... Tested!?! 
Will Your Friendship Be Validated, Cemented, Strengthened
By, With, And In Adversity!?! 

Beloved, 

The Living God, Himself, Called Abraham 
The Friend Of God! 

The Lord Spoke To Moses 
Just As One Speaks To A Dear Friend! 

To Be The Friend Of Almighty God 
Is 
To Carry The Weightiness Of A Burden 
And
Be Like A Bird! 

Friendship With The Lord 
Is 
A Privilege And A Pleasure! 

We Know Of A Surety That 
We May Wholeheartedly Trust Our Dearest Friend
The Lord Of Life! 

He Is Rich In Houses And Lands
And 
He Gives Good And Perfect Gifts
And
He Is  Available Day And Night
And
He Always Has Healing, Blessings
No Matter How The Tides Of Life Swing! 

Question Is: 
Are You Giving As Good As You Are Getting 
In Your Friendship With The Lord Christ!?! 

All The Lord Wants From You 
Is 
Your Faithfulness Which Encompasses 
Your Trust, Obedience, Endurance, And Sincerity 
Aka Your T.O.E.S. 
Which Always Follow Your Committed Heart! 

Can The Lord Count On Us
Count On You, Me, Now, Today!?! 

Please Join Me As I ... By The Inward Look
Inventory My Heart! 


Dear Lord, 
Please Grant Us Peace With You 
Through Friendship
Forged
Through Fire!
AMEN!

Who, Really, Is Going To Heaven?!




How Can You Say You Love Jesus
AND
Rabidly Deny The Truth Of His Holy Word!

How Can You Pray Like A Converted Christian
YET
You Live Like A Leading Member Of
The Damned Goat Herd?!

Ahhm, Uhh, Weellll!?!

Thought So!!

I Give You
That "Yes!"
Jesus Christ Loves Everybody
BUT
I Challenge You
To Deny That
He Has A Special Love For His Children
The Ones Who Wear Their Hearts
Filled With Love For Him On Their Sleeve
Choosing To Live For Him
Work For And With Him
Believe And Implicitly Trust Him
Even Die In His Truth
Rather Than To Falsehood Turn Away!

You Do Know That ...

Unconfessed Sin 
Is 
Sin Unforgiven, Right!?!

Sorta, Kinda, I Think So ...!

You Need To Change Your Diet
If All That You Can Come Up With
Sorta, Kinda, I Think So!

Those Who Turn To Jesus Christ
BELIEVE
That He Has Something That They Need!
They Believe ... Wholeheartedly
That
The Holy Jesus 
Will Wholly
Their Dying Souls Save And Feed!

Jesus Christ Said:

Follow Me To Heaven!


AND

He Also Said:

I And The Father Are One!
I Am The Only Way There!
I Am The Truth! 
I Am The Light Which Gives Life!
In Me Is Life!
I Am Life!


I Offer Grace!
Grace Provides Mercy!
Mercy Shares Faith!
Faith Sings Hope!
Hope Gleans Help!
Help Brings Healing!
Healing Carries Salvation!



Know This Of A Surety ...

Salvation 
Is
For Reformed Sinners!

You Must Willingly
Confess The Sin! 
AND
Repent Of The Sin!
BUT
This Is Only Possible
IfThe Savior's Words You Believe
AND
Answer The Holy Spirit's Call
AND, FURTHERMORE
You Have To Believe 
That The Savior 
Is
Real
That The Preserved And Living Word 
Is
A Transcript Of His Holy Character
AND
That It Offers You A Glimpse Behind The Veil!

The Veil Of Sin Separates Us From God!
The Belief In The Word Of God
Reunites Us By Jesus Christ's Faith
Because The Word 
Is 
Almighty God!

Almighty God 
Is 
Jealous For His Name!
His Character 
Is 
Sacrosanct
AND
Disbelief
Doubt
Faithlessness
ANDDenial
Will ... From Heaven
Unrepentant Sinners Keep Out!

I Guess I Have Work To Do!

Don't Guess!
You Must Know And Act!

Jesus Christ Said It: Believe It!
Let It Be Settled And Sealed In Your Heart!
If
You Love Him
Keep His Commandments
AND
From The Ways Of The Damned One
With Alacrity
Depart!

No Unrepentant Sinner
Will See Jesus Christ In Peace
AND
No Regenerated Saint
Will Be With Unconfessed Sin Replete!

The Fact Of The Matter Is Simple ...

Will You Doubt Jesus
And Query:

"Hath God Said!?!"
Or
Will You Believe
Love Trust
Accept
The. Preserved. Word.
AND
Choose
- By Jesus Christ The Righteous -
To Be
To Heaven
- That Eternal City -
Safely Led!?!

I'm Trying Hard To Believe The Whole Word
And To, To, To, Walk Right!

Try Harder!
Jesus Christ Spilled His Own Innocent Blood
Because He Loves You!

I know! I Know!
Please Don't Make This Any Harder For Me!

I Truly Am Not Trying To Do That
BUT
You Must Surely Know That
Truth And Falsity Cannot
- Will Not -
Combine!

Satan And Our Savior Jesus
Cannot
- Do Not -
Will Not
Share A Party Line!

The Choice IS Personal!
The Choice IS Personally Yours!
What Will Your Decision Be:

Grace And Faith
OR
Self And Sin!
Heaven
OR
Hell!
Commendation
OR
Condemnation!
Truth
OR
Lie!
Believe Satan
AND
Almighty God Defy!
Or
Believe Our Savior
Jesus Christ The Lord
AND
For Eternity
Range The Universe
While Living
AND
Worshipping The Blessed Jesus
In The Sweet By And By!

Will You Follow Fashion
AND
The Traditions Of Agenda-ized Men
OrFollow Jesus Christ
AND
Live In Jesus Christ's Faith
Which Gives Victory Over Sin
AND
The World
Death
Hell 
AND
The Grave!?!

Will You Permit Truth, God's Truth
To Speak!?!

Faith Cures Sin-Blindness
So That You Can See
To Follow After Jesus Christ!




Thank You For Speaking Up!
I Really Have Been Blind!

All I Am Asking
Is That You Stop Toeing The Party Line
Buying Into Easy Salvation
No Change Of Heart Or Actions Required!

I Really Appreciate Your Doing This For Me!

Not A Problem!
This Is What True Friends Are For!

BARBADOS: What's Within The Name?!



When Your Own Eyesight Blinds You

You Are Well And Truly Blind!
When Your Mind Walks Off And Leaves You
You Know Your Only Help
Is In
The Lord God Almighty
Holy
Wholly Divine!


Life Without God Is Possible!

True Life Without God Is Not!

Being Cold Through Sin Is Possible

BUT
Being Cold In Burning Hell Is Not!



Now, With This In Mind ...

From The Island Of Barbados
The Glorious Land Of My Birth
Many Are The Street Names
Place Names 
By Which One May Chart
A Pilgrim's Progress
AND
With God's Help
Live A Life Of Success!

So ... 

For This Missive
I Have All The Notable Names Re-Called
AND
I Have Added Them To The Good News
That Is God's Gospel
AND
I Encourage You To Walk Along
Among Them!
You Will Have Your Self 
A Ball!

Come On!
Let's Take That Walk ...

Chance Hall
Went Over To Easy Hall
AND
He Had Fruit At Grape Hall!
He Got Frisked At Checker Hall

AND
Went 
AND
Bought Seasoning At Thyme Bottom!

He Had A Medical Exam
At Constitution River

AND
Got Chased Around
Old Mt. Stinkeroo!

He Got Hurt At Payne's Bay

AND
He Also Fell And Struck His Head At Bottom Bay

After Which
He Quenched His Thirst At Water Hall!

Chance Then Steadfastly Ran 
But Grew Weary
AND
Short-Winded At Hill Road
AND
Thus Got In A Tangle At Bush Hall!

He Ran Out Of Money In Bank Hall
Whereupon
He Cried
As His Hopes
- For Success -
Died!

Ladye Fate Told Him Of King Street
But He
- In His Own Wisdom -
Went To Government Hill
Where Meeting Despair
He Went To Pine Hill

AND
Got Catspraddled
When He Thought To Trust
Inch Marlowe
Who Jammed Him Up On Gun Hill!

He Met Constant In Sweet Vale!
He Met Brighton In Waverly Cot!
He Met Strong Hope In Lion Castle
Only To Be Stymied By Gully
Of Old Jack-In-The-Box!

In Fear And Desperation
He Fell To Crying In Mount Misery

BUT
Christie Had Pity
AND
Told Him To Head To Endeavor
While Avoiding Sugar Hill
After Talking To The Blunts
Who Had The Map For Sweet Vale
Which He Could Only Receive 
IF
If, Ef
He Did Battle
With Venture

AND
Made A Dead Run On Horse Hill!

But ...

As Clear Fate Would Have It
He Found Himself In Jericho
Where St. Jude 
AND
Workmans
Told Him 
IF
He Went To Free Hill
He Could Avoid Roach
IF
He Did
The Drax Hall Jump!

In Short Order
He Cried Our In Desperation:

I Want To Go To Lemon Arbor
But I Have To Cross Over Flat Rock
And I Must Not Disturb
The Denizens Of Locust Hall!
Lord, Have 'Is Mercy!
I Smell De Fraud!

Suddenly ...

A Strong Voice Was Heard:

Look Man!
This Is Proute!
You Have To Go Through The Valley

BUT
Make Sure To Rest At Salters
AND
Open The Window At The Lee Side Of
Neil's Boarded Hall
And Understand That
You Have Tests At Campaign Castle
And
What Ever You Do
Don't Don't Do Not Fall
At Good Intent
Nor
Loaf About At Lead Vale!

Walk Briskly Up To Providence
AND
Humbly Through Pilgrim Place
AND
Get Your Self To Fair View

AND
Courageously Set Your Heart On 
Sion Hill!

But ...

Be Careful!
There Are Four Roads
A Grove

AND
Six Cross Roads
Which Can Sling You Up To Foul Bay!
But ... Take Heart

AND
Please Do Not Lean On Your Own Understanding
For
With Determination
You Must Ignore Diamond Valley!

Be Sterling
AND
Remember Jezreel

AND
Offer Up Praise For Three Houses

BUT
See That You Eat Nary A Thing At Apple Hall!

Take Note
AND
Don't Forget It:

  • You Must Change Clothes At White Haven!
  • You Must Labor In Industry Hall!
  • You Must Watch Your Back At Windy Hill!
  • You Must Plunge Into The Water At Bath
AND

  • You Must Seek After  Knowledge At Coach Hill!

WARNING:

Avoid Pot Hill
New Castle

AND
Welch Town
For
Truth Is Not Known In These Places

AND
Free Will
AND
Choice
- IF PERMITTED - 

Will
With MALICIOUS Intent
Throw You Up Side Down!

Spend A Night At Messiah Street!
Do Not Consort With All-Sorts At Meadows
Nor
At That Coconut Grove!
Give Your Back To Mount All!
Learn Of Life At Lakes Folly!
Avoid At All Costs
The Risk!

BUT
Take A Moment

AND
Read The Headstones
At Graveyard
By Putting Distance
Between You
Mount Gay

AND
Date Tree 
AND
Moore Hill!

Keep Out Of Licorish Village
AND
Frugally Eat At Pie Corner!
Thirstily Drink At Well Road!
Joyfully Sing At Spring Garden!

You Shall Sleep The Sleep Of The Just
When You Spend The Night At Friendship
AND
Be Thoroughly Refreshed
Come The Morning
By Having Prayers
At Bright Hall
With Hope!

Find Good Content At Retreat!
Stand Behind The Archers
At Crab Hill

AND
After Time Spent In Church Hill
AND
Prospect At The Rock!

Make Sure To
Hold Up At Mount Standfast
After You've Outrun
The Fiend Of Arch Hall
AND
Talk To The Deacons At Eagle Hall
For You Need Their Input
To Walk In Correct Order
Through Harmony Hall
Around Cat's Castle
Across Rendezvous
Over Top Rock
Along Kingsland
Between Gall Hill 
AND
Goodland
After Hurrying Along Hastings
To Arrive Safely At
My Lord's Hill!
Things For You Will Then Swing!

Understand This ...

Time Is Not Yours!
Tomorrow Is Not Yours!
AND
Those Hellions In Speightstown
Will Chase You Through Holetown!
Those From Fitts Village
Will Try To Run You Down!
The Bullies In Six Mens
Will Order You To Dash Valley
BUT ...
Whatever You Do
Know There Is Hope At
Drill Hall
IF
You Do Not Lay Up In Westbury
As You Avoid Rotten Town!

Finally ...

Give Gifts To All At The Alms House!
Get Your Self Away From That Base Street!
Hie Thee Over The Swing Bridge!
AND
Clean Your Shoes In The Careenage
For
Hereafter
The Die For You
Is Cast!

Discipline Is Your Watch Word!
Dedication To Task Is Your Musical Verse!
Jesus Christ
Is The Rock Of Your Salvation

AND
Let Hope For Salvation
Be You Constant Refrain
All The While Knowing That 
At River Road
- For Eternity -
You Will
- Because Of Christ Jesus -
Be Able Always
On Demand
To Quench Your Thirst!

Accept Free Grace!
Embrace Undying Love!
Remember That Jesus Christ Saves

AND
Accept That
Trust And Obey

AND
Faith For Today
Are Your Choice Currencies
As You Struggle For Life
In Long Bay!

Heaven Awaits!
God Can't Be Late!
Reason With The Father
For
With Him In Control
Great Glory's Glories
For You
Await!
He Has The Date!

Your Name Is Your Character!

What Is Inside YOU!?!
