ICY, I SEE: Doubt ... And Faith ...And Disobedience

If I Hear The Word Of Truth
And
I Doubt The Word Of Truth
Does That Mean That
The Word Of Truth Is A Lie!?!

If I Know That The Lord Christ Is Real
And
I Choose To Doubt That He Is Real
Does That Mean That
The Lord Christ Is A Falsity!?!

A Fantasy!?! 
If I Am Made Of The Clan Human
But
I Choose To Walk Like A Duck
Talk Like A Duck
Dump As A Duck
Does That Make Me A Duck
Or Does It Brand Me A Human Quack!?!

Shaking My Head ...

I Have A Real Problem
With People Who Call Green, Black
Just Because They View The Green
In The Darkness
Refusing To Look At It
In The True And Bright Light
Which Offers Real Insight
Sufficient Even The Veriest Jade To Delight!

What Do You See ...

Men Are Using "Magic" Mirrors
So That What Looks Back At Them
Is Not 

The Same Person
As The One Who Is Doing The Looking!

Gotta Do De Math ...

If We Extrapolate That
And
Think Of The Lord Of Life
Who Repeatedly Tells, Asks, Pleads
With Us To Live By Faith
And
Not To Live By Lying Eyesight
We Will Do Well
And
Prosper
Instead Of Hurting Self And Others
By Depending Upon That
Which Leads To The Hell-Bound Offer!

Faith ... I Can't See Now
But
I Choose To Believe The Word That 
I Will See ... Later!

Doubt ... I Can't See What I Can't See
Because I Can't See
And 
I Choose To Disbelieve The Word
That I Could See If I Choose To Have Faith
And Believe That I Will See ... In Time!
A Mouthful
But
Not Way-To-Eternal-Life Goals!

Faith Is Not About Being Brave!
Faith Is All About Obedience!

Doubt Is Not About Disbelief!
Doubt Is About Disobedience!

Belief Is A Choice!

Disbelief Is A Choice!

Disbelief Makes Satan Glad! 

Belief Makes Heaven Rejoice! 

"I Can't See!" She Said, Blindly. 

"I Don't Have A Care!" She Said

While Carrying The Heavy Load

Ignoring The Fact That

Belief Takes Away Worry

And

Disbelief Causes One To Treat Liberally 
With Debilitating Fear!

At Her Gross Folly

Satan, Triumphing

Does Jeer! 

Ask De Hard T'ings ...

Are We Regulation Fools

Disguised Idiots

Masquerading As Saints!?! 

Or

Are We Salt Of The Earth

Light Of Life

Blessed To Be Blessings

Hearing The Word Of The Living God

And

Faithfully Believing

- And Doing -

Without Fear Or Failing

Not Caviling!?!

We Are Not Promised Easy Living! 

Whether We Have Dollars Or Cents

Pounds Or Pence

We All Need Sense To Scent

The Stench On The Winds Of Change! 

Ignorance Is Not Bliss!

Foolishness Is Not Sense!

Having Guts Is No Guarantee Of Glory

But

Praise Be To Jesus

Good News Is The Present Truth 

Gospel Story! 

Bow And Burn Both Begin With "B"

But

Only One Leads The Believer

To Eternal Life!

PRAYER: Jesus Is The Rest For My Soul!

Father Of The Faithful,
Lover of My Soul
I Come To You Knowing
You Can Lead Me to My Heavenly Goal!

I Own No Other Master!
I Own No False God!
I Seek No Other Rest For My Soul
And I Willingly Reject Satan

He Who Desires To Be Like You, The Holy God!

Jesus Christ The Righteous
Promised Me A Home!
A Home Where All Is Blessing
A Home From Whence I Shall Never Desire To Roam!

Father,
I Have Made My Decision!
I Desire To Enter Into Rest!
I Desire The Eternal Blessing
And To Meet Part Of The Conditions

My Known Sins I Readily Confess!

I Repent Of All The Yesterdays
Of Doing Things That Did Not Your Heart Please
Of Walking Wise In My Own Will
Of Relishing The Known Sin-Disease
Which Attaches To Us Fallen Creatures

Like So Many Leeches, Maggots And Fleas!

Please, Father
By Your Holy Spirit
Cleanse Me And Remake Me To The New Life
Where Waiting Upon You
In Faith
In Obedience
With Endurance
Will See Me As Gold
Emerge From The Carnal, Mortal, Strife!

I Endeavor To Keep Your Holy Commandments!

Please Help Me To Keep That All, Always

So That I Do Not By Breaking A Single One

Become Guilty, According To The Word

Of Every Last One!

Please, Father

Remember The Poor And The Lonely!
Remember The Sad And Sorrowing, Too!
Remember The Proud And The Puffed Up!
Remember All Those Who Do Not Yet Know 

Jesus Christ, The Holy One Just

Faithful And Ever True!

I Beseech You, Father
For A Special Blessing
For All Those Who Are
Who Will Be 

The Inheritors Of The Eternal Blessing
Life Everlasting With Our Lord Jesus Christ
Who Died To Save Us All
And Who For Us Was The Once-For-All Sacrifice! 

Help Us, Dear Father

With Alacrity To Answer "YES, LORD!" To The Call!

Thank You, Father
For Your Gift Of Love!
Thank You For Your Grace And Mercy!
I Thank You For The Book Of The Way
That Good News Gospel Story!

Thank You For Keeping Us Day By Day!
Thank You For Desiring Our Return Home
And Thank You For Making The Way Perfectly Plain!
Please Help Us So That We Do Not 

This Unspeakable Gift Spurn!

I Love You, Father
And I Thank You 

And Bless You For Your Unfailing Love!
Thank You And Bless You

For Hearing And Answering The Prayer Of Faith!
Thank You For The Blessed Hope!
Father, With All My Heart
I Thank You For The Blessing Of Praying!

I Offer This Prayer In The Matchless Name Of 

Our Lord And Savior Jesus Christ
Your Beloved And Only Begotten Son
Our Redeemer
And
Soon Returning King!
We Need You!

Please Come Soon!
AMEN.

Dare ... To Delight!!

Dare To Be Different
And
Make A Christ-Like Life Difference In The World!

Dare To Be Strange
But
Not A Stranger To The Truth!

Dare To Be Wise
That Is, Wise Unto Salvation
Wisely Separating Yourself
From Satan!
Dare To Not Be His Prize!

Dare To Teach
That Is, The Good News Gospel Story!
Dare To Tell The World That
Jesus Christ Died For Them
But That Satan Tells Them Lies!

Dare To Buck Man's Concocted Traditions
And InsteadTake Bold Hold Of The Doctrines That Preserve Souls
Shedding Light In The Encroaching Darkness
And
Causing Satanic Forces To Release Those Upon Whom 

They Have A Hold!
Chase Away The Blight!

Dare To Be Anna, Not Absalom Not Ahab
Dare To Be Deborah, David, Daniel
Date To Be Enoch, Elijah, Elizabeth
Dare To Hannah, Hezekiah Not Haman
Dare To Be Philemon, Peter And Paul
Dare To Be Joseph, Joshua, Never Jezebel!

Dare To Like Christ Jesus:
Bear Your Cross
And
Wear Your Own Glorious Gold Crown!

Dare To Believe The Lord!
Dare To Trust His Word!
Dare To Receive His Bold Promises!
Dare To Stand Alone!

Dare To Pray!
Dare To Care!
Dare To Hope!
Dare To Help!

Dare To Wear The Banner Of Jesus!
Dare To Walk Away From Those Who
Encourage You To Do What Is Wrong!
Dare To Tell The World
Show The World
Live Before The World
As A Committed To The Lord Christ Christian
Walking In Your Gifts Of
Daily Grace
And
Daily Faith
So That You Will Sleep The Sleep Of The Just
In Your Day-To-Day Living
And
When You Fall Asleep
On That Last Night Of Your Mortal Life!

Delight To Follow The Lord, The Good Shepherd!
Delight To Please The Lord, The Shepherd Of Rest!
Delight To Worship The Shepherd Of Our Souls
And
Above All Things
Delight To Obey The Lord Of Life
And
In The Great Day Of Small Things
He'll Receive You As Your Redeemer
Your Welcoming King
And
Not Reject You As Your Frowning Judge!

Dare To Bow, Today, And Always
Before Shiloh, The Prince Of Peace
The Glorious Lord Who Gives To His Children
His Eternal Life!

In His Holy Name, I Assure You
You Shall Survive The Mortal Strife!

I Have Need Of A, Uh, Ahmm ...!

... You Want A Guarantee!?!

Fair Enough!

One Iron Roman Hammer
Three Iron Nails
One Wooden Cross:

One Innocent Jesus Of Nazareth
The Son Of Almighty God
- Who Became Flesh
And Dwelt Among Us -
Forcefully Applied To The Wooden Cross
And
Physically Attached There To
By The Strategic Application Of
One Nail Through Each Hand
And
One Nail Through Two Bundled Feet
By The Aggressively Malicious Swing
Of The Dreadful Roman Hammer!

That Sounds Positively Awful And Decidedly Bad!

It Gets Worse! Much Worse!

The Weight Of Your Sin
My Sin
The Sin Of Everyone Who Ever Lived
- Or Will Live -
Broke His Heart
And
Crushed The Life Of The Giver Of Life
Out Of Him!

This Makes Me Very Sad!

It Should!

Love For You Sent Him To The Cross!
Love For You Kept Him On The Cross!
Love For You Laid Him In The Grave!
Love For You Kept Him There Three Days! 

Love For You Caused Him To Get Up

And
To Rise Up To Heaven
Where He Is Now Interceding
For Those Who Shall Inherit
The Eternal Life
Which He Shall Give To Those
Who Are His And His Alone!

Was He, For Me, Truly Willing To Die!?!

Yes, My Friend!
For Your Personal Sins
No Matter How Petty
No Matter How Egregious
No Matter How Abominable
He Willingly Did Atone! 

He, By The Holy Spirit Of Truth
Is 

Calling You, Personally
To Come Home!

A Forever Home!?!

Yes, Indeed!

It Is As Long As Eternity!

Very Well! 

I Shall Answer His Call

And I Shall Go To Him

... Even If I Go Alone!

Hallelujah!

Thank You, Jesus!

Welcome To The Family Of God!

SATAN IS THE LIAR: Baptized Sin!?!

The Law Of God
- The Believer's Rule For Living Life -
Is
The Bold Sinner's Condemnation
And
All Who Choose Self
Instead Of The Great Law To Obey
Shall Suffer Loss
Because
For Their Own Sin ... They Shall Pay!

You're Bold ...

You Can't Break The Law Of God
On The One Hand
And
- At The Same Time -
Accept Salvation Free On The Other
Because
There Is No Disunity In The Economy Of
The Eternal
- That Righteous Merciful Ever-Loving God -
And
He Will Never Permit Double-Mindedness
In Neither Me Nor You!
That's The Way Of The God-Fraud!

Lord, Lord ...

Many Are Those Who Call Out
And
Call Upon
The Worthy Name Loudly!
Many Are The Teachers Who Sing Loudly
The Popular Song Of Deliverance From Sin
But
Their Idea Of Sin
Is
Of Their Own Deciding
And
They, In Their Damnable Pride
Believe That New Truth ... To "Gullible" Us
They Are Timely Providing!

Facts Remain ...

Man Cannot Denote Sin!
Sin Is The Transgression Of 

The Law Of The Holy God!
The Law Of God
Is
The Transcript Of The Living God's Character
- His Glory -
And

His Will For Man

And
There Is No Man 

Who Can Give The Almighty Infinite 

Another Character Known Finite
And
Still Be Telling The Saving Truth That Is
The Good News
The Gospel Story!

Self-Service ...

When Self Writes Speaks Of 

- Teaches -
The Law Of God
Based Off Unregenerate Intellect
And
Prideful Personal Standing
In The Popular Market-Place
Desiring To Please John Q. Public
And
Ease The Consciences Of Money Man
Power Broker
And
Influence Peddler
To The Detriment Of Their Purchased Souls
We End Up With Characters About Which
The Righteous Lord Is Not

Cannot
Will Never Be Sold!

Base Line ...

Sin Is A Bottom Feeder
That Sells Brass As Gold!
Sin 

Is 

A Side-Winder
That Works Rot And About It Is Bold!
Sin Is A Pernicious Influence
Selling Thing-Hot As Thing-Cold
And
Rejoices When The Unsuspecting
On Its Craven Trifles Is Sold!

Brethren,Anyone
Who Gets Anything From Anybody
That Says Everything About Sin 

Is 

Subjective
Should Boldly Ask Plainly
What Is The Seller's Objective
And
Ask To See The Provenance That
Identifies Its Pedigree
And
Request Bluntly
The "Thus Saith The Lord!"
Which Always, Always, Ever
Protects Me And Thee
From Satan's Insanity!

Man Washing Self Of Sin

 Will Never

Render Man Clean!

PRAYER: We Need Our Jesus, Dear Father!

I Come Before You, Father

Because

I Believe All Of The Word

And That

The Given Promises Are True!

Please Cleanse Me Of Any Unbelief!

Thank You, Father

For The Blessings You Bestow:

The Love

The Joy

The Grace

The Mercy

The Truth

The Good Seeds To Sow!

Thank You, Father

For Making Plain The Way To Walk

And

The Light That Shines

That Shows The Way Clear! 

Thank You For Being The Holy God

That

A Repentant Sinner Can Intimately Know!

The Raging Lion Is Prowling

Seeking To Make Meals Out Of Men

And

So I Bow Before You, My Father

Pleading

Beseeching You, Lord God Holy:

Help Us! 

Please Defend!

We Do Not Know How To Pray As We Ought

But

We, Of The Household Of Faith

Know Him

- Jesus Christ Our Creator -

Our Redeemer

Who For Our Salvation Fought! 

He Is Not A Comic Book Hero! 

He Did Not On His Earthly Mission Fail! 

There Is Nothing That He Can Learn

From Any Sun Man

And

It Is Abundantly Made Clear

That

The Way To His Sure Salvation

Is No Mixed-Way Walking-According-To-Self Trail!

The Preserved Holy Word Tells Us Plainly

The Only Way To You, Father

Is

Through The Lord Christ

Your Only Begotten Son

And

I Plead, My Father

Please Help Us To See The Living Light

So That We Do Not Fall For Any Of Satan's

Soul-Costing

Life-Destroying

Christ-Denying

Loathsome Delights!

Personal Experience Strongly Declares

That

The Way Of Sin Is Not Fun!

Without The Lord Christ 

We Are Twice-Dead Men! 

Without The Lord Christ

We Cannot Against Satan Defend! 

Without The Lord Christ

Our Beginning Is Our End

As There Will Never Be Any Other Being

Any Other Opportunity

The Slide To Damnation To End!

Pity Us, And Help Us! 

Pity Us, And On Living Truth Help Us To Feed! 

Pity Us, And Lead Us Safely Home

Because

It Is Our Souls' True Desire

The Water Of Life To Drink

And

On The Fruit Of The Tree

In Eternity

Always To Feed!

Bless Us With Spiritual Eyesight

Insight

Foresight

And

The Wisdom Of The Wise

And

Guide Us On The Path To Glory

As In Jesus Christ's Faith

We Believe, Love, Trust

And

Propagate 

The Good News Gospel Story!

Help Us To Reject

Satan's Sophistries And Bold Lies!

We Love You! 

We Bless You! 

Please Help Us, Dear Father

By The Working Of The Holy Spirit

To Glorify The True Name

And

By Remaking Us

- Our Characters -

In The Likeness Of Jesus Christ

The Spotless Lamb

Who Bore Our Punishment

Our Pain

And

Our Shame! 

We Need The Lord

And

In His Matchless Name

We Pray And Humbly Plead!

You Said, Ask

In Faith

Nothing Wavering 

And

It Shall Be Given:

Our Desire Is Here Laid Bare! 

Please Come Soon! 

AMEN.

Glory For Me!?!

The Always-Present God 

Is 

His People's Refuge
To Whom They May Fly!
He Is The Great Truth, Also
Upon Whom They May Completely Rely!

The All-Knowing God Is Not A Man

Who Tells Lies For Conversation!
The All-Knowing God 

Is 

The Sovereign Lord
To Whom Man May Unafraid Run
For The Soul's Sweet, Free, Salvation!

The Living God Directs The Path Of The Faithful
So That His Feet Slip Not!
The Living God Makes Truth Shed Light
So That Man May Forego Known Sin's Blight

And

Not Suffer Sin's Known Blot!

The Eternal God's Home Is In Heaven Above
As Told In The Gospel Story
And 

Be Your Head Young
Or Old And Hoary
What  Awaits The Faithful 

Is 

Jesus Christ's Surpassing Glory!

 
Share The Wealth!
Tell Others The Good News Story!

Trust The All-Seeing God And Grow

And
Live Right And Know That
Jesus Christ The King Saves

And
He Frees The Sin-Slave
And 

Blesses The Sinner Saved
To Live Right And Clean
So That He Will Ascend To Heaven
To Forever Enjoy
The Forever Holy 

Blessed And Bright

Eternally Glorious
Glory Days!

Faithfulness To Jesus Christ

May Temporally Cost

And

Faithfulness To Jesus Christ

 Will Eternally Pay!

JESUS CHRIST: Was Doing, Did, Is Doing And Will Do!

Jesus Christ Is The Word Of God
Incarnate In The Realm Of Man!
Jesus Christ Was The Innocent Lamb
Unblemished In The Sight of Father God
The Atonement For Fallen Man!

Jesus Christ Came To Earth
AND
The Perfect Example Was He! 
He Taught Men The Way! 
He Healed Them Everywhichway! 
He Fed Them! 
He Demonstrated Not With Sin To Play
AND
He Gave His Disciples
A Template Of How Men Should Pray!

Jesus Christ Showed
How With Persecution To Interact! 
Jesus Christ Showed How With Betrayal To Act! 
Jesus Christ Gave A Way
To Keep Him In Memory
AND
Jesus Christ Died
Uncomplaining
Unafraid
To Fulfill History In Advance
Aka
Bible Prophecy!

Jesus Christ Arose!
Yes!
He Got Up From The Dead
AND
He Returned To His Father In Heaven
No More To Take The Brunt Of The Pharisee Leaven
AND
He Is At The Right Hand Of
The Father
AND
Is Making Personal Intercession
For You And For Me
AND
Will Come To Earth Again
To Take Home With Him
All Who Trusted
Loved And Worshiped
Honored And Obeyed
Accepted The Forgiveness Offered
AND
Confessed And Repented Of Known Sin
AND
By Faith Walked And Worked
Enduring ALL Things
Telling
The Good News
The Gospel Story!

Nobody But Jesus
Can Plead His Blood
For The Life Of Sinful Man!
Nobody By Jesus
Is The Mediator For Fallen Man!
Nobody But Jesus
Is Preparing For Man
A Heavenly Place
AND
Nobody But Jesus
Is Now
In Heaven's Most Holy Place
Pleading With His Father
- Our Father -
Saying:

Father,

This Is My Blood!

I Took Their Place

And

I Want Them To Be With Me

To Share With Me

In Your Presence

This Heaven

This Holy And Undefiled

Glorious Place!

Let's Not Make His Sacrifice For Us
A Lost Cause Case!

Tell Satan To Take Himself
To His Known Known-Damned Place!
Don't Be Like Him
A Failure
A Known Disgrace!
For The Win ... Run
I Beseech You
The Salvation Race!

STAGECRAFT: Life-Raft ... Jesus!

If The World Is Just A Stage
AND

Men and Women Merely Players 

Then All God Had To Do
Was Give The Bit Players Their Measly Pay Checks
And Let Them Go
- Eternally Lost -
For Their Stellarly Mediocre Performances
AND
Save His Only Begotten Son
The Torturous Pain Of Ignominious Death 

For A Bunch Of Ingrates
Who Daily Indulge
In That Terrible Crime Of Mind Death

For Following Satan's Click-Bait!

Wow! I See Where You're Going!

It's Not A Path Pretty
But It's True
For In Earthly Understanding
Lousy Scripts
Poor Directing
Pedestrian Casting
Not-Ready-For-Prime-Time Actors 

Inappropriate Costuming
Bad Lighting
AND
Sketchy Props
All Work Together To Make The Play Performed
A Colossal Flop

From Bad Reviews

AND
Resulting The Termination Of Actors
AND
The Shutting Down Of The Franchise Permanently 

For It Cannot Be Saved!

Investors Will Want Their Money Back
AND
The Principals Will Seek To Do Damage Control
BUT
The Chairman Of The "This Is It!" Board
- Having The Final Word -
Will Say:

"Trash It All! 

There Is No Saving This Play Today!"

Hit Men Are Dispatched!
Targets Try To Hide
BUT
Since This Scenario Is Devil Drama
All Are Caught
AND
Terminated ... With Extreme Prejudice
AND
Another Batch Of The Wannabe-Famous Start Rehearsals
For

The Self Same Play Motion Picture Circus Block Buster
That Is A Loss Leader
For The Hocked-Horse Feeders!

Do You Smell Sulfur?!

I Smell A Set-Up!

Tell Men The Grand Lie! 

Yup!

Man Live! Man Die!
There Are No Options!
There Is No Teacher Of Stage-Craft!
There Is No Investor Relationship!
There Is No Reemergence From Neither A Technical Foul
Nor A Clinical Fall!

There Are No Study-Buddies
To Help With The Learning Of One's Lines 

AND
There Is No Wardrobe-Master Extraordinaire
To Attire One To Perfection
For
The Opening Of The Perfect Play!

It's Sad When You Don't Know
That The "Trusted" Prop Master
Is The Licensed Glorified Fraud
That The Writer Of The Script Is A Known Pain Junkie
AND
All The Backers Are In On
Flip The Script ...!

... When You Don't Know
That Ringers Are Cast Members
AND
Certified
Card-Carrying Demons To Boot
AND
Big Boy Basil
- The Fixer -
Is The One Who Gives The Signal Always 

The Player Station To Savagely Loot!

I Thank God
- The Living Loving God -
For Being Real
True
Faithful
Kind And Divine!

I Am Thankful That This World Is Not Run
For The Benefit Of Demon aka
Angel Investors
Who Loot And Boot At Will
By Whimsy!

I Thank God For The Lord Jesus Christ

Who Loves Us
- You AND Me -
Blood-Bought Real!

I'm Thankful For
The Plan Of Salvation
The Good Book Of Blessings
The Legacy Of The Old Saints
Who Before Passed This Way
AND
I'm Thankful For The Institution Of Prayer
The Indwelling Holy Spirit ... Teacher
AND
The Influence And Protection Of Holy Angels
Who Help Me Walk
On The Straight And Narrow Way!

I Thank God For Truth
For Present Grace

And For Coming Glory!

I Shall Be Eternally Grateful
For
The Good News
The Gospel Story!

I Hear THAT!!

Let's Go And Tell Someone The Truth!

Yes! Let's Give Satan
The Lost-Himself-A-Heart Attack!

Let's Blow!

SOULS SOLD: 15 Minutes Of Fame + PRAYER: Lord, Help Me Not To Trust My Blind Eyes!

Once Upon Time Called Now
In A Faraway Place Called Near Here, Hear
In The Realm Called Plastic
Lived The People Called Doctored-Pretty!

Now ...

In The Now Time
In A Parallel Junction 
In A Near Place Seeming Far
Existed The People Called Hooked
Who Were Inordinately Interested
In Every Single Puny Petty Putrid Popular Thing
That The Doctored-Pretty Plastic People
Conceived Of
Manufactured
Made Happen
To Make Themselves
Relevant
AND
Instafamous!
It Is A Sad, Sad, Sad, Saaaad Thing
To Behold!

The Doctored-Pretty Plastic People
Roundly Despise
The Hooked People
BUT
Needed
Absolutely Needed Them
AND
Their Worship
IF
They Want To Remain
On That Register Called
"The 'A' List!"

That's Straight Up Idolatry!

We Know That

But Other Watching People Do Not!

People Have Been Known To Become
Seriously Suicidal
When From 
The LIST!
They Did Fall!

The Fall Is No Ball
For A Fall Renders One
Subject To
No Casting Call!

To Fall From "The 'A' List!"
Is To Descend
Seriously Descend
Into The Waste Land Of
... Irrelevancy ...!
Death Valley! ... If You Will!
AND
Every Body In Near Plastic
Knows
That Irrelevancy Is
A Career Kill
BUT
It Has Been Known
That Some Pretty-By-Proxy Plastic People
Have Made For Themselves
"New Careers"
Out Of 
Irrelevant Relevancy!

A Name In Print
In Lights
For The Wrong Reason
Is A Name In Lights!
PERIOD!
AND
Every Body Who Wants To Be
Anybody
Takes
"Fame!"
However It Comes
Be It In Soundbites
Breaking News
Continuing Coverage
More At 4!
AND
The Ever Popular
Tabloid Score!

Ahem!
Are You Going Somewhere With This Epistle!

Oh, Sorry!
My Bad!
Yes, I Am!

Don't You Get Sick And Tired
Of Hearing
Who Did What To Whom
Who Went Where With What
Why Who Wore What When
Why Who Did What Where
Why Who Is Where Doing What When
Who Bought What Where And For How Much
Who's Zooming Whom
And On, And On, And On ....?!
Snoooooore!

Oh, Sure!
Makes Me Appreciate My Own Life!
I'd Rather Eat Dry Bread In Peace And Quiet
Than All Their Fancy, Fancy, Foolishness
Washed Down With Forked  Lighting Served In Crystal
Followed By A Perky Pill
Followed By A Sleeping Pill
Followed By Some Get Me Up Swill
AND
Do. It. All. Again.

That Is No Way To Live!

If It Is No Way To Live
Why Then
Are All The Ordinary People
In Hooked Town
Trying Their Level Best
- Even Killing Themselves -
To Get Into Doctored-Pretty People's
Plastic Town?!
I Don't Get The Catch!

Green Is Always Greener
On The Other Side!

Oh, Dear!
Don't You Mean Grass
Is Greener?!

Man Can't Eat Grass!

Nevertheless
If That Is So
When You Get To Green Grass
And Look Back
Where You Came From
Is Green ...er Grass
Not So?!

Yes!

So, Why ....?!

Covetousness!
Greed!
Greed For Gain!
Envy!
Discontent!
Ingratitude!
AND BEST OF ALL
Desire!

Desire For Sprouted Satisfaction
Of ... FELT NEEDS!
Gets Them Every Time!

As I Live And Breathe
I Daily See The Results Of
Imagination Over Substance
Illusion Over Reality
Faith Against Doubt!

When A Man Chooses
The Sight Of His Lying Eyes
Over The Gospel Of Truth
You Know, Of A Surety
That There Will Be Trouble
In His Big Ride Car Boot!

When A Man Chooses A Known Fraud
AND
Makes Him His God
You Know That His Soul
Has Been Bartered
For He Swiftly
Turns Away From 

The Love Of The Holy God!

That's Kind Of Strong, Don't You Think?!

It Is The Truth!

Look At Them!
Hear Them Speak!
Can't You Tell A Deluded Soul
From All The Drivel
That Out Of Their Mouths Leak?!

New Lamps For Old!
Copper Pennies For Shiny Gold!
Illuminated Minds
Powered From The God Not Divine!

Look At That Sold-Out Soul!

PRAYER:

Father, 

I Beseech You

Were It Possible

In Sackcloth

And With Ashes

Please Help Me

Not To Live In The Light

Of My Blind Seeing Eyes! 

Help To Live In The Truth Of The Living Holy God

The Power For This Turning Hour

So That Satan's Power

Will Not Over Me Tower!

Father, 

In The Cross Of Christ I Glory

Grateful

For The Gospel Story!

Let Me

Help Me

Walk In Right Light

So That I Will Not Suffer

From Sin's Cruel Blight!

I Give You, Lord

Glory, Honor!

I Give You, Lord

Worshipful Praise!

I Give You, Lord

My Soul For Safekeeping!

Bless Me, I Beseech You

As I Walk Faithful

On Toward

The Great And Glorious Day!

I Love You, Lord!

Please Come Soon!

In Jesus' Name I Humbly Plead! 

AMEN.
