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!

Don't Hate The Uncomfortable Truth!








Do You Hate It 
Or 
Do You Appreciate It 
When Someone Tells You The Uncomfortable Truth 
Because 
They Love You With Sincerity!?! 

Do You Understand 
And
Accept That 
Refusing Or Ignoring The Message 
Will Not Alter The Truth That 
Is 
Offered To You As A Saving Grace!?! 

Beloved, 

Our Dear Savior Was Loathed ... Despised
By Those To Whom He Told Saving Truth 
Aka The Good News Gospel! 

For His Willingness 
To Make The Way Back To The Father's House 
As Plain As The Sun Shining In Its Fullness
He Was Murdered By Those Whom He Had Come To Save: 
Their Hostile Response 
And 
Murderous Behavior 
Could Not, Did Not, Nor Will Ever Change 
The Substance Of The Message 
Or 
The Savior's Love! 

We Are Nearing Home! 
The Plain Truth May Terrify 
But
The Heavenly Messenger's Love For You 
Is ... And 
Will Remain Rock Solid! 

Jesus Christ, Alone, Saves! 
Salvation Is Free!
Jesus Christ The Righteous Is The Truth! 
Accepting 
And
Wisely Acting Upon The Truth Always Saves! 

Will You Be Honest Enough To Tell The Lord The Truth 
And 
Ask Him To Help You To Accept His Message Of Love 
And 
Also Help You To Humble Yourself Under His Mighty Hand
So That He Is Able To Lift You Up
On The Day Appointed!?! 

The King Of Love 
Is 
The Shepherd Of Rest From Laboring For Sin! 
Let Us Humbly Bow Before Him ... The Truth
And 
Be Eternally Blessed And Saved! 

Peace!

THE SHIP: We Are Not Alone!





Look Up And Lift Up Have A Hope:
Their Redemption Is Drawing Nigh!

Look Up And Lift Up Have A Future
And
An Expected End
Because
Jesus Christ The Righteous
The Lord Of Life
Is 
Their Shepherd
And
The Rock Of Their Salvation
Their Sure And Only Defence!

They Are Not Doubters!
They Do Not Ride The Fence!
They Are Renewed, Reformed
Converted Believers
Living Their Lives For Their Jesus
And
They Are Expecting 
A Placid-Sea Unexpected But Certain Storm!

Brainerd!?!

Yes, Bawsee!

You Know That I Went To School Long
But Not Too Regular
And That What I Learnt I Learnt Real Good!

Indeed!

You Also Know That I Ain't Born After My Mother Dead
So Please Explain To Me
In Little Words If You Please
How Can One Expect The Unexpected!?!
How Can One Experience A Storm On A Calm Sea!?!

Bawsee, Are You A Christian!?!

Yes, Indeed, I Am!

Would You Consider Your Life A Ship!?!

Definitely ... I'm A Traveller! 
Yes!

Are You Living For Jesus Christ!?!

Boldly! Like A Boss, See!

Yes, Bawsee! We've All Heard It Before!

Is Your Life All Smooth Sailing!?!

Absolutely Not!
One Minute I'm Enjoying The Peaceful Trade Winds
And The Next Minute
 I'm In The Midst Of The Atlantic Storm Season ...!

You've Stopped Talking!?!

Is Something Wrong!?!

Don't Play Smart With Me!
You Know Very Well That There's Something Wrong!

And, Pray Tell Us, What Would That Something Be!?!

That Something, Brethren
Is The Ship Called Reality!

Hot Diggedy Dog!

Is Jesus Christ Your Pilot
The Captain Of Your Ship
The Lord That Leads Your Life
The One Who Will See You Through The Mortal Strife
Then ...!

... Expect The Unexpected Storm In The Calm, Placid, Sea!

I Just Thought Of Something:
Jesus, Resting Peacefully, On The Pilot's Pillow
On A Calmly Rocking Boat
On The Glassy Sea That Is Galilee! 

Suddenly ... Unexpectedly
A Storm Of Wind
Turns The Placid To Raging
Filling The Boat With Water
Threatening To Sink It
And Kill All On Board!

How Comes Everybody Is Afraid
And One Person In Particular
Sleeps Through A Killer Hurricane At Sea!?!

It Happens When That One Person
Rests ... Peacefully
On The Word Of Their Father
And
Trusts In The Mighty, Loving, Hand Of 
Their Heavenly Father
- The Eternal God -
For Their Provision
For Their Peace
For Their Power
For Their Protection!

You Do Realize, Don't You
That Jesus, Unafraid
Stood Up ... Straight
On A Tossed Ship
In The Midst Of The Raging Storm
And
Rebuked ... Told Off ... The Wind
And 
It Immediately Stopped Howling Like A Banshee
And
Not Finished
He Told The Sea:

Here Is Peace! 
Be Still!


And 
The Sea Took A Nap
Or Better Yet
Went Back To Being Nice!?!

The Sea Recognized That Voice
The Voice Of His Creator
Who Told Him At His Genesis

So Far And No Farther!


Blessed Be The Ties That Bind ...

With Jesus In The Family
We Have A Happy Home!
With Jesus As Captain Of The Ship
We Shall Reach The Bound For And Safe Shore!
When You Hear The Holy Spirit Calling
Know That Jesus Is Knocking At Your Door
And
Make The Blessed Decision
- The Decision For Eternal Life -
And
Fling Open Your Heart's Door
And
Invite Jesus Christ To Enter In
To Take Total Control
And
To Pilot You Safely, Gently
To The Everlasting Shore!

Truth Frees The Soul ...

For Ever Raging Storm
Every Insurmountable Mountain
Every Deep, Dank, Dark, Valley
Every Tempestuous, Debilitating, Thought
Every Binding, Besetting, Sin
All Sickness And Wrenching Sorrow
Through Unmitigated Suffering ...!

... It Is Jesus! 
It Is And Has Always Been Jesus!

Only Jesus Christ Saves! 

Only Jesus Christ Satisfies!

Only Jesus Blesses
Comforts, Heals, Seals
Reveals
And
Leads Us Into Perpetual Rest!

Jesus Christ Is Peace!

Look Up And Lift Up
Know And Have The Right:

Redemption Is Drawing Nigh!


Soon Jesus Shall Breach The Eastern Sky
And 
To The Glorious Rest Home
- With The Saints Of All The Ages -
We Shall, Rejoicing, Fly!

What An Amazing Grace!

We Must Remember To Remember That
Jesus Christ Stands Up ... Straight
- Weight Of Problems Do Not Impact His Posture -
Controls Events
Speaks With Creative Power
And
Always, Always, In All Ways
Protects Those Who, By Sacrifice
And
In Covenant Love
Are Truly, Enduringly, His Very Own!

This Is Gospel Good News!
We Are Not Alone!
