HAPPY SABBATH + God's Gifts Are Eternal!

 

When Someone Leaves Something That 

You Desperately Need In Your Hot Hand

You Gratefully, Eagerly

Gladly Close Your Hand Tightly Over It

And 

Seal It In A Death Grip That 

No One This Side Of Glory Can Unclasp! 

Beloved, 

This Is How We Must Interact 

With Jesus Christ's Gift To Us Of His Peace 

Which Passes Human Understanding! 

Jesus Christ Gives The Peace! 

We, Believers In Jesus, Death-Grip The Perfect Peace 

And 

No Damned Devil

Nor Self-Deceived Minion

Nor Demon-Inspired Heathen 

Or Hellion On Satan's "Payroll" 

And 

Known Bound For The Fire And Brimstone Bath

Can Get Peace Even Out Of Your Then-Cold-By-Death Grip! 

What Christ Gives 

Is 

Our Own To Have

And 

To Hold Now

And 

Even Forevermore! 

Jesus Christ ... The Lord ... The King 

Doesn't Take Back His Gifts From Us! 

We, Unbelieving, Doubting, Distrusting

Beguiled Aka Fooled, Tricked

By Wandering Eyes And Affections

Throw Back .. Throw Away ... The Heavenly Gifts 

Into The Lord's Dear Face 

And

Then Suffer Horribly, Unnecessarily, For Our Folly: 

Some People Die In Or For Their Folly! 

Remember, Beloved

Almighty God Is True ... The Truth

And 

All Human Beings 

And 

All Fallen Angels 

Are Known And Bold Liars! 

Dare To Know The Truth That Sets You Free

And 

Choose 

To Be Perfectly Peaceful 

In Christ's Precious Peace

That Is His Personal Gift To You Personally!

Don't Be Like Lot's Wife!

Don't Despise

The Gifts Of Almighty God!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Dare To Wear Your Sin Screen!

S:P:-F Aka Sinner: Purchased:- Free! 

Oh, That We Will Remember That 
By The Blessed Jesus Our Sin-Bill Is Paid! 

Oh, That We Will Never Forget That 
There Are Free Men Living In The Self-Made Cage! 

Beloved, 

Take Notice That 
Jesus Calls Us To His Side 
To Be Made Free Indeed 
But
If We Do Not Take The Gift 
Or We Do Not Open The Book
We Will Never Know What Blessing Is Inside
What Great Benefit He Provides
And 
We Will  By The Accuser Outfoxed! 

Inquiring Minds Should Know ...

When Is A Blessing Not A Blessing!?! 

A Blessing From Our Almighty God 
Is 
Always A Blessing 
But
It Cannot Bless You ... The Receiver
If
You Disbelieve Aka Doubt The Giver's Love 
And
Call The Priceless Gift Bogus! 

The Blessings Of The Lord Do Not Add Sorrows: 
We Get Opportunities For Growth In Grace
So Ignore The Naysays And The Gainsayers
And
Embrace All Of Your Gifts
And 
Be Infinitely Blessed! 

Think On This ...

We Are Encouraged ... By The Medical Establishment
To Wear Sun Screen To Protect Our Skins 
From Its Known-Harmful Radiation! 

We Are Encouraged By Almighty God To Put On God's Beloved Son

- Our Only Savior - 

To Protect Us From The Siren Song Of Sin
The Ravages Of Sin
And

The Penalty For Sin! 

The Son Of God Worked 

And 

Is Working To Get Us Into The Family Home Safely 

And

He Will Work On The Appointed Day 

To Forever Rid The Universe Of Sin! 

Brethren, Beloved,

I Beseech Us All ... Please
Wear Your Sin Screen! 

Please Wear The Son, The Life Giver! 
May The Peace Of God Which Flows Like The River Glorious
Endlessly Wash Over You
This Day And Forever! 

HAPPY SABBATH + Speech, Salt And Life!

Those In The Public Domain Having Converse With A Christian

Should Always Be Able To Declare

- Without Fear Of Contradiction -
That You Have Been With Christ Jesus 

Because

The Manner

The Tone

And 

The Words That Are Uttered 

Out You As A Child Of The Great King! 

Speech, Salt, And Life 

Are All Gifts From The Eternal God 

And 

All Three May Be Used For Good Or Evil

Blessing Or Cursing! 
Our Personal Choice
And
Our Free Will Exercised
Make Our Inclinations ... The State Of Our Heart ... Plain!

Note To File Of Remembrance ... 

We Who Name The Name That Is Above All Names 

Should Know How To Use The Gifts Of God For Good 

And 

For Blessing Our Obedient Self 

And 

Needy Others! 

Beloved, 

Too Much Salt Ruins A Dish 

And 
No Salt At All Makes It Hard To Swallow! 

Jesus Christ Says That We Are The Salt Of The Earth

So We Should Surely Know How To Season Our Speech! 

Consider This ... 

Inappropriate, Crude

Tasteless, Bitter, Accusatory

And

Condemnatory Words 

Cause Others To Despise, Avoid And Deny Us 

And

A Selfish, Self-Absorbed, Hate-Filled

Angry, Grasping, Greedy, Gainsaying

Complaining, Discontented Life 

Denies The Lord 

And 

Makes One A False God

And 

Totally Unprofitable! 

Please Let Us Be Wise Enough 

To Use The Gifts Of Almighty God Well Enough 

To Bless Ourselves 

And 

Others ... In Jesus' Holy Name 

So That We Will Hear The Glorious 
"Well Done!" 

In The Great Day! 

Remember ... 

Unfiltered Speech Belongs In The Garden Of Prayer

In Your Personal Talk And Time With Our Savior

The Blessed-Forever King Jesus! 

Peace!

Be A True

And

Faithful

Ambassador For Christ!

FIDELITY TO GOD: How Firm Is Your Foundation!?!

... And I Made It Clear To Them That
My 90% Participation ... Commitment
Was Just As Good Or Better Than
Their One Hundred Percent!

Cora,
If I Were In Your Shoes
I Would Sincerely Close My Mouth
And 
Dearly Seek After Jesus Christ
Instead Of Indulging In Foolish Bragging!

King Saul Tried That Nonsense And Look What It Got Him!

I Hear That!
You're A Christian, Lady Cora
And You Should Know Better!

I'll Be Brutal And I'll Dare To Ask You
If You Give The Lord Jesus Your Short Rations!?!

How Dare You!?!
How Could You Ask Me Such A Thing!?!

I Asked Because You Seen Not To Know That
Commitment Means One Hundred Percent!
I Dare Say That You Should Know That
Not Giving Your All To Jesus Christ
Is 
Going To Cost You Your Berth In Eternal Life!
King Saul Lost His For His Lawlessness  ... His Sin!

Brethren,

Our Fidelity To Almighty God 
Is 
Being Tested Daily! 

Like It Or Not
Obedience To The Lord Christ
- In All Its Particulars -
Was, Is And Always Shall Be The Hallmark
The Highlight Of The Christian Experience! 

We Rely Upon Jesus Christ's Sacrifice 
For Our Gift Of Salvation 
But 
The Lord Cannot Practice Obedience For Us: He Modeled It! 

The Only Things That 
We Personally Own That Are Of Any Value 
Which We May Give As Gifts To Our God 
Are Our Free Will, Free Choice
Willingness To Cooperate
And
Our Willing And Enduring Obedience! 

Faith, The Daily Gift Given To Us
Is 
Tied Up With Trust And Obedience! 
Obedience Is Tied To Cooperation! 
Cooperation Is Tied To Free Will 
And 
Freedom To Choose 
And 
These Are Ours To Give To Whomsoever We Choose! 

Satan Can't Force You To Choose Him 
And 
Jesus Christ Won't Force You To Choose Him! 

We Are The Slaves To Whom We Choose To Obey! 

Beloved, 

Satan 
Is 
The Liar And The Murderer 
So Please Choose To Obey Jesus Christ Christ 
If 
It Is Your Heart's Desire To Have A Firm Foundation 
And 
To Receive The Crown Of Life Eternal! 

Our Jesus Gives Us 
Full, Truthful, Plain Disclosure Of The Facts! 
Be Wise! 
Be Obedient! 
Give Your All ... Your Total Commitment ... To Our King Jesus
And
You Shall Surely Be Eternally Blessed!

JESUS CHRIST: Do You Know What You Have!?!

Justice

Humility

Purity

Patience

Love

The Standard Of Righteousness

The Traits Of Character ... Necessary

IF

We Will Stride ... Blessed Forever

In The Courts Of Glorious Heaven Above!

*--*--*--*--*

The School Of Jesus Is In Session! 

The Students Are Assembled For Prayers
And
To Give Praise

To Build Character

And

To Learn To Walk In Wise Ways!

The Great Teacher, Himself
Has Set For Man The Example
And
Those Who Will To See Life Everlasting
Do Not With Soul Salvation
Ever Have To Gamble!

On Any Given Day ...

As With All Things Good For Man
There Is A Naysayer!
As With All Things Right That
Bring Light To Man
There Is A False-Oath Taker!

Brady Brix-Stone Was A Very Wicked Person
And, That Dear Brethren
Was Something Upon Which
Everybody In The Know Could Agree
But
To The Uninitiated In The Classroom
He Was High-Brow Elegant
Fastidious Noble
A Man Of The Book
And
With The Clothing To Match!

Brady Brix-Stone Considered Himself An Artist
And
He Liked To Sign His Name As
B B S
With Many Flourishes!

On An Aside ...

The People Who Had Felt The Sting Of His Public Excesses

Have Saddled Him With 

A B. B. S. Appellation 

Which Is Not At All Polite!

Knowing Where You Are Going ...

It Should Be Noted Here That
The Students In The School
- The Committed-To-Christ Students In The School -
Were Not There To Play Games!
They Were On The Upward Way
And
Marching To Zion!

They Were Using One-Way Tickets To Glory!

By Contrast
Brady Brix-Stone Had Taken To Making Friends
And
Influencing People
To Improve His Bottom Line

And 

To Expand His Waistline
And
No Surprise There

He Felt That This Was Compatible With His Mission Of 

Being A Missionary On A Mission!
He Could Not See That He Was The Whole Point Of Salvation
Completely Missing!

Don't Get Me Wrong ...

There's Nothing Wrong With Money!
It's The Love Of Money That Makes Men's Hearts Grow Cold!
However

There's Much Wrong With Money
If
It Causes Your Love For The Lord Christ To Wax Cold
And
Causes You To Depart Truth
And
To That Serpent Satan ... Sell
Your Already Bought And Redeemed Soul!

So That You'd Know ...

Brady Brix-Stone Was Normally Nasty On Monday And Tuesday
Naturally Nice On Wednesday And Thursday
And
Downright Syrupy
On Friday Saturday And Sunday
As This Was When The People Had Lil' Change In Their Pockets That
He Could Syphon Off!

There Was An Old Teacher
- A True Man Of God -
Who Had A Burden For Souls
Who Was Willing Warrior For The Lord!

He Was Brady's Uncle On His Mother's Side
Once Removed!
Everybody Called Him Faithful Fred
That Is ... Everybody Except Brady!

Heads Up, People ...

Our Greatest Adversaries
At The Time Of The End
Will Be Those Of Our Own Households
Our Families!

Faithful Fred Taught Truth
With Compassion
In Love
For The Love Of God In Christ
In Season
Out Of Season
For Doctrine
For Reproof
Until That Wastrel, Brady, Succeeded ... Magnificently
In Turning The People 

- Who Should Have Treasured His Labors For
The Eternal Kingdom -
Well And Truly Against Him!

Things Got So Bad That

Faithful Fred Started To Doubt
Never His Jesus
Never The Word Of Truth
Never His Salvation
But
He Started Doubting His Usefulness
To The Cause Of Christ!

Brady Was In His Glee
In His Cups ... He Was An Undercover Drunk
And
He Was Frenetically Caressing His Golden Brown Bank Book!
His Future ... Now Assured
Was Sound!

You Need To Know That ...

When We As Ingrates
Despise
The Blessings That Almighty God
Gives Into Our Hands
To Accrue To The Saving Of Our Own Souls
He Removes Them!
He Permits Them To Be Removed!
They Are Taken Away!!

Case In Point : Enoch Of Bible Fame!

On A Quiet And Misty Day

Old And Faithful Fred Closed His Eyes
For His Long Sleep:
He Went To Sleep In The Faith Of His Lord Jesus
Assured By His Maker That
Those Who Die In The Lord
Will Rise Up To The Lord
To Live Forever With The Lord!
He Went To Sleep At Peace!

Not Long Thereafter ...

Truth Was Cast Down Into The Street!

Brady Brix-Stone Came Down Like A Ton Of Bricks
On The Side Of Sin
And
The Word Was Soon Heard:

If Only Faithful Fred Were Here! 

If Only Truth For Today Was Heard! 

If Complacency

And 

Ingratitude

Were Not Found At Our Core 

We Would Not Now Be Longing

For Things To Be As They Were Before!

Too Late Shall Be The Cry ...

Let Us Take Heed To Ourselves

And Not Our Lord God Defy!

When We Despise Truth
We Will Suffer Under Lies!

Looking Good Doesn't Mean Doing Good!
Speaking Truth Doesn't Mean Living Right
Or Walking In The Light Of Life
The Living God Eternal Ever To Delight!

Do You Appreciate What You Have!?!

With Jesus Christ The Lord
We Always Know What It Is That We Have
And
What We Shall Get
When Where And How! 

We Already Know That Our Gifts Are From Christ Jesus!

I Beseech You, Brethren ...

Let Us No Err Like Judas
And
Sell Eternal Gold
To Buy Destructible Silver!

Memory Hall: Gratitude!

One Day I Made A Visit To That Memory Hall!
He!

She!

It Is Human
Living
Christian
Sighted
Hearing
Walking
Eating
Sleeping
Healthy Happy
Hopeful Hearing
And
A For-Real Ingrate
If I Know What One Is At All!
Behold A Laodicean Spirit!

Eyes To See: He's Blind As A Bat!
Ears To Hear: He's As Deaf As A Door Nail!
He Tastes And He Sees The Goodness Of
The Creator
The Savior
The Redeemer Friend
And, YetHe Finds No Reason
Sees No Need
Has No Desire
Shows No Willingness
To Approach Unto His Provider
Sustainer
Support
His Surety And Security
His Guardian Guide And Stay
And
Joy-Filled
Say:

Oh, Lord

I Bless You!

I Praise You!

To You, I Give Thanks!

My Heart Is Grateful

For The Great Gifts

Some Of Which

- Prior To Their Receipt -

Held In My Eye

No Position

Does Nothing But My Soul Blight!

I Desire Your Heart To Delight!

I'm A Sinner, Saved!

I'm A Child Of The King!

I'm A Faithful Servant

And

A Student Awed By Your Majesty

By Your Glorious Self!

Help Me To Not Stifle My Conscience

But

To Remember With Gratitude

- Always -

From Whom My Blessings

My Help

My Certain Aid Comes

So, That

In The Day Appointed

I Shall Walk In Peace

In The Glade Of Joy

In The Home Of The Blessed

Where All Is Love

Joy

Peace And Rest!

I Worship You!

I Know I Am Blessed!

Brethren,

Since It Is A Fact That You Are Human

The Living God Owes You Nothing

But
You Owe The Living God Your Life

Your Praise!

Please Take Out The Remembrances Of 

The Blessings Of God Upon You
And
In Soul-Gratitude

To And For
The Living God Holy

Grandly

And
Gloriously Of
His Great Grace!
Take The Time!
Life Is Not A Race!

Remember This ...

Ingratitude 

Is 

Not Fit Attire For
Nor Upon
A True Christian!

Almighty God 

Is 

For You!
Do Not Overlook His Goodness 

By Taking It As Your Right!

You Have No Right To God's Blessings!

They Are A Gift!

Aka Our Great God

Aka The Godhead

Due Praise Today!?!

If Not,

Now Is Acceptable Time!

Go On! 

Get To It!

Rich Toward ... Self!?! PRAYER: Lord, Please Generate In Me, The Giving Spirit!

Simonette Sugam Was Rich, Rich, Rich
And
Bad-Minded Beyond Belief!
She Had Houses And Lands
And
Big-Able Barns Full To Brim
And
Overflowing
And
Believe It Or Not
That Enormously Greedy
And
Thoroughly Selfish "Sister" Simonette
Known Prominent Member Of
The Household Of Almighty God
- The Gracious Giver Of All Good Things -
And
Visibly Enjoying
All The Blessings Of Unmerited Favor
Just Reaped Another Amazingly Abundant Harvest!

Cha-Ching!!

What Did She Do?!

Nothing To Bless Her Brethren For Sure!

What DID She Do!

It's Too Gross To Say!

What Did SHE Do?!

It Is Unspeakably Gross!
Please Don't Make Me Say It!

Lambie, You May Want To Roll Back The Drama
Just A Notch
And Ratchet Up The Info Sharing
Just A Bit!

Okay! Okay!
Father, Give Me Strength!

Simonette Sugam Had The Spirit Of Satan!

Gracious!
That's What You Call A Jump!

How Does One Go From Just Being Pedestrian Selfish
To Having The Spirit Of Satan!?!

Rather Easily, It Appears!

The Spirit Of God In Man Says 

"Give!"
It Says To Remember 

Your Poor Widowed And Orphaned Brethren!
You've Got Goods
So Give Freely Out Of The Bounty

- Which You Have Freely Received -

And
Help Them To Daily Live!

Sounds Fair!

It Is The Blessed Way!

Well, Let Me Tell You Some Gospel Truths!
The Living God
Let's His Rain Fall
And His Sun Shine
On The Good And The Evil
The Just And The Unjust!

But ... 

That Simonette
Either Ignored The Fact 

Or Plum Forgot 

That The Lord
- By Her Hand -
Had Made Provision For The Poor
So That They Would Be Fed
Housed And Clothed

And

With This Last Great Harvest
Rendering Her Barns Filled And Overflowing
She ... Full Of Pride
And
Self Satisfaction
And
Blessing Her Self
And
Not The Holy God
Said:

I Have Abundance! 

I Have Much Goods For Many Years! 

I Shall Drink And Be Merry! 

I Shall Tear Down These Too Small Barns

And

I Shall Build Bigger Barns!

I Shall Take My Ease!

Sounds Like She Has I-Ritis!

The Eternal Blessing God Don't Like Ugly!

Oh, Dear!
This Can't End Well!

You'd Better Believe It!

Remember The Verse ...

The Fool Hath Said In His Heart
There Is No God!?!

Sure Do! Psalm 14:1 KJV

That's Simonette
Because
She Forgot
That It Is By The Creator God
That We Live And Breathe
And ... Have Our And Any Being!

I Guess You Know That ...

The Voice From Heaven
Plainly Said:

Thou Fool!

This Very Night

Thy Soul Will Be Required Of Thee

And

Whose Goods Shall All These Be?!

She Dead!?!

Dead As Nit!

She Didn't Have The Son!

In The Son Is Life!

She Wasn't Rich Toward God!
She Was Laying Up Treasure For Herself
And
She Was Doing A Devilish Work
Pleasuring Satan
Satisfying His Black Heart
And
Causing Him To Sing
Like A Well-Satisfied Juicy-Worm-Filled Lark!

Them Doings Real Dark!

Lessons Taught Must Be Learned ...

When The Lord Blesses You
You Must Not Just Bless Yourself
Because
In Your Prosperity
You Have An Opportunity
To Be Almighty God's Almoner
Almighty God's Good And Faithful Steward
To Give A Good Gift To The Deserving Other
To - Of Yourself - Give Almighty God A Gift

And, Again 

To Be By Almighty God Abundantly Blessed!

Be Ye Warned ...

Hoarded Resources Curse The Hoarder
No Matter How Blessed They

- On The Surface To All Public View -

Appear
For
What You Hoard On Earth
Can't Go
Can't Get You Into Heaven
Because
By Your Own Hand
You Have Closed The Door
Finally And For Sure

Locked Down

Secure!

The Plain Truth ...

Almighty God Is Love!
Love Is Life!
Almighty God's Love To Man
Grants Us Freedom
From The Life Of Strife
Striving ... For Acquisitions
For Pride Of Place
Which Causes Us To Look Away
From Christ Jesus
And
Lands Us In The Life Of The Disgraced!

Shame!

A Real Shame!

It Is More Blessed To Give

Than To Receive!

Count The Costs, Brethren!

Count The Costs!

PRAYER:

Father,

I Thank You For The Matchless Gift

Bestowed Upon Me

From Your Eternal Love!

Please Help Me To Remember My Brethren

Be They Near

Be They Far

And

Help Me To Share With Them

Your Bountiful Gifts Of Love

Which

Though Shared

Are Never Diminished

Even If I Share Them

Loaded In A Car!

Bless You, Father!

You Are Faithful

Kind

Loving

Blessing

Holy

Forgiving

Saving

True!

Thank You, Lord!

I Love You!

Please Help Me

By Your Holy Spirit

To Daily Emulate You!

Please Generate In Me

The Giving Spirit

Is My Heart's Earnest Plea

For

It Is In Jesus Christ's Holy Name

That I Humbly Pray And Plead!

AMEN.
