HAPPY SABBATH + The Position Of Strength!










Iffy, Sniffy, And Since Belonged To The Same Family! 
Even Though They Had Been Brought Up 
With The Same Rights And Privileges, Opportunities, And Access
Their Chosen Paths To Glory Were Divergent! 

Iffy Had Aligned Himself With Heel-Biter
That Snake In The Grass Who Unapologetically, Unashamedly
And 
Unafraid To Break Voice 
Silkily Demanded That Savior Dear Prove That 
He Was His Father's Child! 

Sniffy, Now, With The Parfumer's Nose 
And 
The Delicate Skin Of Princess And Pea Fame
Put Doubting Thomas To Rout 
By Baselessly Elevating Her Level Of Doubt Over Divine Dignities 
Even Though The Truth Bit Her On Her Perky Perfectly Positioned 
Current-Direction Indicator Smell-All Pointer: 
Hail The Nose! 

Since Since Is A Saint Of God And Christ 
- Forgiven And Cleansed -
Who Stands Sincerely, Safely, And Securely On The Word That Works 
And 
Tells Of The Faith In Christ That Cannot Fail
You Should Know That 
He Is Treated Like A Plague Rat By His Brethren 
But 
Is Blessed And Beloved By His God: 
Jesus Reigns And Rules In His Life! 

Dear Ones, 

Understand This: 


The Lord
Doesn't Save Families
Groups
Cliques
Nor Societies!
 

The Lord Saves Individuals As A Result Of 
Their Desire For Him
Their Journey To Him
And 
Their Walk With Him! 

Exercised Faith
Willing Obedience
And 
Patient Endurance 
Will See Individuals Wearing The Crown Of Life 
From Jesus Christ ... The Lord Of Life! 

Who Are You!?! 
Trust In God! 

How Are You!?! 
Guard Your Heart! 

Keep The Holy Faith! 
Jesus Christ The King Of Earth And Glory 
Is 
Soon Coming Again! 

Peace!

CHOOSE TO BE MORE: The Change Must Come!




If You Really Believed That 
The All-Knowing God Was Ever-Present 
And 
Ever Seeing All That You Are Doing
Hearing All That You Are Saying
And 
Aware Of All That You Are Thinking
How Would You Actually Live Your Life From Day To Day
Moment By Moment!?! 

What Is Stopping You From Believing The Infallible Word 
Which Tells Us What The Lord Is Unerringly Doing 
At This Very Moment!?! 

Beloved, 

Are We ... Because Of Unbelief And Willful Blindness
Becoming Like The Fool Who Says In His Heart That 
There Is No God 
Because 
Acknowledging The Knowing, Seeing, Present God Means That 
Our Present Ungodly Thoughts, Words, Actions, And Activities 
Must Be Renounced, Repudiated
Changed To Reflect One's New Standing 
As Revealed Through The Word
Will
And 
Ways Of The Eternal And Only Wise God!?! 

There Are Many Men And Many Minds 
But
One Holy God
One Way To The Holy God
And 
One Narrow Road To His Glory 
And
That's The Reason Why We Are Told 
To Buy Eye-Salve From The Lord Jesus! 

Blinded Eyes 
Go Where Dull Sense Says! 

Re-Sighted Eyes 
Go Where The Healing, Sealing, Savior Sends! 

Dear Ones, 

We Are Called To Be Better 
And 
To Rise Higher Than Where We Are 
Through Almighty God's Grace 
Which Causes Us To Be, To Do, To Say, To See
And 
To Be Saved And Blessed! 

Let Us Choose To Be More 
By Him Who Is The Door! 

Let Us Live In And For Jesus Christ The Lord: 
He Is Right Here! 
Give Him Honor, Glory, And Praise! 

Peace!

Think On Jesus Christ!








Burdens Were Lifted At Mount Calvary 
So That All Of Our Needs Could Be Met
 At The King Of Love's Throne Of Sufficient Grace 
Where Those Of Us Who See Our Soul's Bankruptcy 
May, By Faith, Humbly Approach Boldly To Request A Filling 
From Almighty God's Storehouse Of Great Good And Plenty! 

Pride In Appearance
Confidence In Accomplishments
Contentment In The Praise Of Men
And 
All-Around Self-Satisfaction And Self-Aggrandizement 
Are No Balm To The Soul Seeking The Savior 
And
A Place Near To The Heart Of God 
Where All Is Joy, Peace, Rest, Refreshing, 
And 
True Safety! 

Beloved, 

Being Rich In The Earth's Bounties 
Is 
No Guarantee Of Happy Now
And 
Joy In Jesus Hereafter! 

We Need To Look Beyond What Now Is Evident 
To Clearly See What Shall Be Hereafter! 

Dear Ones, 

Please Remember That Satan 
And 
All The Wicked Who Love And Live In His Ways 
According To His Damned Will In Finite Time
Play The Long Game ... And They Play For Keeps! 

Let Us, Therefore, Who Serve The Lord Jesus In Spirit And In Truth 
Daily Choose To Hold To His Unchanging Hand 
Because 
He Loves Us 
And
Inhabits Eternity! 

Neither Satan, Sin, Self, Nor Selfishness 
Can Enter Eternity! 

Please Do The Committed Christian's Mathematical Exercises 
In The Book Which Can Only Be Written Upon 
With The Pencil Of Truth 
Wielded By The Hand Of Faith 
And
Know That Your Answers In And For Jesus 
Equate To That Blood-Bought Ticket To Surpassing Glory 
For The Saints Of God And Christ! 

Think On Jesus Christ! 

Peace!

HAPPY SABBATH + STOP LOOKING FOR LOVE IN UNPROFITABLE PLACES: Keep Your Eyes!






There Is No Opportunity To Love Unwisely 
When We Love The Lord Jesus Christ In Whom Is No Variableness 
And 
No Specter Of The Demonic Device! 

Beloved, 

If We Are Truthful As All Christians Should Ever Be
We Will Admit To Having Loved And Lost
And
Have Felt Like The Recipient Of An Angry Horse's Brutal Kick! 

It Is Time That We Learn Once And For All Time That 
Love Is Not A Chemical Given To Reaction 
To Be Turned Up, Down And Off 
Depending On When And How The Recipient Of Our Affection 
Cooperates With Our Then-Current Emotion! 

Love 
Is 
A Decision That Does Not Depend On Atmosphere
Entertainment, Cash, Credit
Grief
Presence, Presents, Or Loss! 

Let's Stop Looking For Love In Unprofitable Places 
And 
Choose To Take The Lord At His Word: 

Put The Lord, First, Last, And Always
Depend Upon His Word
Follow After His Will
Walk In His Way
And
Wait Upon The Lord 
After You Have Asked Him To Provide Your Blessed Companion! 

Samson Loved The Pagan Delilah 
That Lying Money-Grubber Who Took His Eyes! 

King Solomon Loved Many Pagan Women 
Who Turned His Heart Away From The Lord! 

King Herod Loved The Vile, Blood-Thirsty Herodias 
Who Took Fore-Runner John's Head! 

Brethren, Beloved

Character Counts When Companions Call! 

Remember, Remember
Don't Ever Forget ... 

Your Life's Companion 
Will Either Help You To Get Home To Glory 
Or Book You A Free Ticket To Hell!

Samson And King Solomon Came To Their Senses: 
King Herod Did Not! 

Learn From The Errors Of Others 
And
Be Wise! 

Love Sees: 
Keep Your Eyes! 

Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Know Your Place!






Let Us Behold With Astonishment 
The Vain Show Put On By Puny People 
As They Impotently Wave Their Stubby, Breakable, Hands 
In The Face Of The Great God Of Glory! 

Beloved, 

The Living God Who Told The Great Waters 
"So Far And No Further!" 
Has Given Mankind The Same Boundary 
Beyond Which He May Not Go! 

Imagine, Then, How We Who Need The Breath Of God For Life
The Clay For Substance
The Food For Sustenance
The Holy Spirit For Comfort And Correction
The Holy Angels For Good Influence And Protection
The Father's House For Home
The Father's Son For Salvation And Redemption
And 
The Word Of God For Hope And For Glory
 Telling Our Maker, Good, And Kind: 

"I'll Do What I Want When I Want To 
And You Can't Stop Me!?!" 

I Encourage You, Dear Ones
To Depart The Society 
And 
The Vicinity Of Such A Person 
Who Speaks As The Fool Who Blithely Says That 
"There Is No God!"

Be Ye Wise! 
Because The Punishment For Sin Is Delayed
It Does Not Mean That It Is Cancelled! 

The Lord's Ways Are Not Our Ways 
And
His Will Will Always Be Done In His Time! 

Accept 
And
Know Your Place 
And
Dare To Stay In Your Lane According To The 
"Thus Saith The Lord!" 
Wherein Is Love, Joy
And 
Perfect Peace! 
Humble Yourself! 

Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Sing Unto God! + PRAYER: Help Us, Lord, To Sing Unto You Like Whistling Kettles!




Give Almighty God Great Praise: 
Don't Be Stingy! 

Think Critically, Beloved
About The God ... The Lord Jesus Christ 
Whom We "Proudly" Say That We Are Serving 
And 
Dare To Recognize That We Are ... Liars!?! 
Yes! Liars! 

We Say We Serve The Holy God
Who Ever Strengthens Us 
And 
Even Shields Us From The Harm We Cannot See! 

We Say That We Totally Trust Him 
But 
What We Mean To Say Is That 
We Trust Him Sometimes 
And 
Usually When It Is Convenient 
Aka When He Helps Us According To Our Timing 
And 
We Have "The Reason" About Which To Rejoice 

And

Merciful Powers
That Is When We Haul Out Our Grandparents' Favorite Song 
And 
Attempt To Burst Somebody's Ear-Drums As We Sing: 

"I Am Delivered! 
Praise The Lord!" 

We Should Be Ashamed Of Ourselves 
And 
We Should Do A Haul 'n Pull 
Aka Haul Back The 
"Where Was God When ... !?!" 
And 
Dig Deep For A Big Dipper Full Of 
"Jehovah, Hallelujah! 
My God Always Provides!" 

Dear Ones, 

It Takes No Effort To Sing Unto God 
When You Have Cash To Burn
Food To Waste
Clothes Enough To Dry-Rot
Nice Children
The Adoring Spouse
And 
Pleasant Work! 

If, However
You Can Pray, Praise
And 
Lift Up The Lord In The Midst Of The Storms In Your Life
You Know For Sure That You Are Cooking With Gas! 


PRAYER:

Dear Lord, 
Oh, That We Who Call Ourselves
Committed Christians 
May Be As The Whistling Kettle That
Sings Its Best Music 
When The Non-Stop Heat Is Applied
 To Its Bare Bottom 
And
The Only Stress-Reliever
Is To Sing Unto God 
Until Relief
The Promise Of Very Present Help
Swiftly Arrives! 

Thank You, Lord Jesus
For Being The On-Time
In-Time
Never-Late
Promise-Keeping
Heart-Cleansing
Ever-Loving
Always-Giving God Of Grace 
Who Inhabits Glory! 

Please Help Us To Give You Real Praise 
Because
You Are Our Perfect Love
Blessed Hope
And
Sweet Peace! 
AMEN!!!

HAPPY SABBATH + Truth AND Faith ... Irretrievably Intertwined!









When You Hear The Truth
And 
Understand What The Truth Means To And For You
If 
There Is In Any Honesty Within Your Heart
You Have No Choice But To Act Judiciously 
Aka With Common-Sense! 

Truth Sets All Sinners Free 
But 
The Only Way To Prove The Truth 
Is 
To Step Out In The Daily-Received Gift Of 
Faith For The Day! 

Beloved, 

Faith And Truth ... Truth And Faith
Are Inextricably Intertwined 
And 
One Without The Other 
Will Not Lead To The Glorious Life Sublime! 

Please Repeat With Nauseating Frequency: 


"There Is No Self In Faith And Truth 
Because
Self Is A Liar 
And
Doubt Is Self's Wisdom Tooth!" 

True Wisdom 
Is 
A Gift From The Lord Of Life 
And
That Wisdom Requires Us 
To Separate Ourselves From Sin, Self
And 
Debilitating, Decimating, Strife! 

Let Us Endeavor Today 
To Give Our Lord Jesus All The Glory 
For His Saving Grace 
And 
Let Us Dare To Work Our Faith 
As We Embrace His Truth 
So That We Will Be Blessed And Saved 
As We Walk With Him 
On The Living, Holy, Strait, Straight Way! 

Truth Lives In Glory: 
Faith Gets You Safely There! 

Peace!

Dare To Be Square!







The Good News Gospel Of Our Salvation 
Is 
In Us To Bless Us: 
We Read The Living Word 
And
Rightly Used
We Are Profited Thereby! 

The Eternal Word Of God 
Has No Input From Mortal Man: 
All Of Our Benefits Are From The Loving Hand Of 
The Holy God In Whom Is All Power
And 
To Whom All Glory, Honor, And Praise Belong! 

This Leaves Us With The Question: 
Why Are We Taking Our Burdens To Lying Mankind
Glorying In What Fallen Man Says He Can Do
And 
Rewarding Sinful Man 
For What The Lord Christ As Savior
Shepherd, Redeemer, Friend, Hope, Help 
And 
Salvation 
Daily Gives To Us For Free!?! 

Isn't This Like Stooping To Lick Dirty Water 
From The Mossy, Smelly, Gutter 
When We Are Freely Able To Use 
Our Gifted Cup Of Faith For Today 
To Dip Clean, Clear, Pure Water Of Life 
From The Crystal Fountain Of Everlasting Blessings!?! 

Beloved, 

Let Us Dare To Be Square 
And 
Choose To Raise Our Gaze Out Of The Gutter 
And 
Boldly Look Upon The Beautiful Son
Aka The Sun Of Righteousness
In Whom We Live And Breathe 
And 
Are Made Alive! 

Man Can't Save Himself 
Nor Any Another Man: 
Only Jesus Christ Saves! 

Walk Wise
And
Wholly Trust The Lord Christ Soley! 

Enthusiastically Glory In The Cross
And 
Unabashedly Praise The King Of Love! 

Please Boldly Take All Your Burdens To The Lord
And
Unfailingly Leave Them There! 

Peace!

Hope Trusts Truth







The Lord God Almighty 
Is 
Good All The Time! 
He Is Our Ever-Present Help In Times Of Trouble
And
When We Are At Peace
When We Are Stressed By Life's Fluctuations
When We Are Distressed Over Finances, Love, Work, Health
When We Are Oppressed By That Vile Satan
When We Repress Our Emotions
When We Need To Confess Known Sin
When We  Assess Our Walk With Jesus Christ
And 
When We Need To Reassess The Work That 
We Are Doing To Lift Up The Life Of Christ To A World That 
Is 
In Constant Turmoil! 

Beloved, 

The Lord Truly Knows ... Personally
Every One Of Us Who Trust Him At His Holy Word! 

Face Facts ...

We Say That We "Trust The Lord BUT ...!"

Listen-Up Traveller ...

There Can Be No "But" In Trusting The Lord Of Life 
Unless 
It Is To BUTTTT Aka Bring Up Things, Thoughts, Tests, Terrors 
To His All-Knowing Attention 
To Get The Help That We Desperately Need! 

The Lord ... Our Good Shepherd
Our Refuge
Our Shelter
Our Hope
Our Salvation
Our Redeemer
And 
Our Forever-Faithful Friend
Has A Thousand Ways To Save Us 

And 

He Knows What We Need Before We Need It!

Our God, Known Holy, Feels What We Feel 
And
Will Always Do For Us What Is Best For Us: 
We Get Heavenly Gain 
And 
Almighty God Gets His Glory! 

Please Learn From
Lean Upon
And 
Look Up To The Lord Of Life
- The King Of Love -
Who Knows Every Hair On Your Head! 

Let's Boldly 
And Aggressively 
And Enduringly Dare To Trust Our God 
And 
At The Time Appointed ... By Right
Go Home To Share His Great Glory! 

Remember ...

Hope Trusts Truth! 
Truth Begets Faith!
Dare To And Live With Hope:
Follow Truth
Experience Hope
And
Watch Your Faith Become Sight! 
Trust The Lord ... And Obey!


Hope In Jesus Christ
Brings Peace From Jesus Christ
That
Passes Human Understanding!

Oh, How He Loves You And Me!



John 3:16 - KJV - Bible verse of the day - DailyVerses.net


Beloved, 

It Is Amazingly Easy To Get Careless
And 
Complacent About The Truth 
To The Point Where It Becomes Practically Meaningless! 

We Cannot Afford This With John 3:16 
Because 
It Means The Difference Between 
Getting Inside The Heavenly Father's Safe House 
And 
Being Not Only Left Outside The Happy Home 
But 
Being Cast Into Outer Darkness! 

There Is No Light
No Life
No Light Of Life In Outer Darkness: 
There Is The Second Death
Aka Eternal Separation From Our Father
From Almighty God
From The Lord Of Life! 

Remember, Remember
Don't Ever Forget ... 

Almighty God Is Love! 
Love Gave All He Had To Give Us
- Whom He So Loves - 
All That He Has 
And
All It Takes For Us To Receive All That God Has 
Is 
Our Gift To Him Of Our Belief In His Son, Jesus Christ
- The Righteous Judge ... The King Of Love
The Shepherd Of Rest
Our Hope For Surpassing Glory -
Who Believed His Father's Promise That 
If He Freely Laid Down His Life 
To Save Us From The Wages Of Sin
He Would Take It Up Again! 
Promise Made: Promise Kept! 

Jesus Christ 
Is 
Alive ... And Interceding For Us
In The Most Holy Place Of The Heavenly Sanctuary
And 
We Who Choose To Accept The Promise 
- By The Faith Of Belief -
And 
Stay The Course Of Reciprocated Love 
- By Faithful, Enduring Obedience -
Shall Surely Be Physically Welcomed Into The Family 
With The Purchased Gift Of Everlasting Life! 
Immortality On Tap: 
Corruption Impossible! 
There Is No Greater Gift
Sooo ... Gratefully Get Greedy For God's Greatest Gift! 



Perfect Peace For Us
Is
The Gift Given
By
The Prince Of Peace!!
