HAPPY SABBATH + Seed-Time ... And Harvest!?!

Character Is The Harvest
We Get From Living Life
And
Character Determines Our Destiny
In The Here And Now
And
No Surprise
Whether We Shall Inherit Satan's Declared And Damned End
Or Jesus Christ's Glorious And Eternal Life!

King Solomon Was Granted The Gift Of Wisdom
Which He Used
And
Subsequently Misused
And
Received In His Heart
In His Person
The Profits Earned For A Life Abused

But

Almighty God
In His Love ... His Mercy
Sent Solomon A Reality Check
And 

Being Wise Unto Soul Salvation
Solomon Did Upon His Life ... His Time On Earth
Did Solemnly Reflect
And
Came To The Cutting Conclusion That
As In The Crop Of Nature
Where Harvest Always, Always

Follows Seed-Time ... Sowing
Cultivating ... Growing
Maturing
So In The Growth Of Man:

We Have A Life: Seed
We Grow From Baby To Adulthood
We Develop Attributes Of Character
And
Attributes Actively Assimilated ... Nurtured
Are Those Very Character Traits
Which In Our Lives
Will Dominate And Lead Out
And
Shape For Us A Final Destiny
To Or Against The Holy God
And
In The Great Day Of Small Things
We Shall Reap ... Receive
Our Just, Fitting, Cultivated, Reward!

There Is No Risk In Serving The Savior!

There Is Only Great Reward!

Consider This ...

The Blessing Of The Lord
It Maketh Rich
And
He Addeth No Sorrow To It!

Blessed Are They Who Die In The Lord!

If We Are Blessed Who Die
In ... The Lord
It Stands To Reason That
Cursed Are They Who Die
Without The Lord!

Jesus Christ Said:

I Go To Prepare A Place For You

In My Father's House Already Built

Where There Are Many Mansions!

I Am Coming Back For You

And I Shall Receive You Unto Myself

That Where I Am

There Ye May Be Also!

Jesus Christ Is Not Receiving Dead Men!
He's Receiving Reinvigorated, Glorified Saints!
The Righteous Dead Live
In ... Jesus Christ
So, Hallelujah To The Lamb!

Just As He Asked Martha:

"Believest Thou This!?! 

I Ask Us:
Do We Believe Enough
To Accept The Promise
To Live The Life Of Christ
Modeled On The Faith Exercised By
And
Gifted To Us By Jesus
And
To Die The Death That Is Sleep
For The Saints Of God
Trusting
The God Of All Grace
Who Cannot Lie!?!

The Word Of God
The Glory Of God
The Character Of God
Are One And The Same Thing!

He Is Jealous Of His Name
His Character
And
A False Promise Is Not In, Or Of, Him!

Will You Believe And Trust The Living Word
And
Believe And Trust Him
Despite What You See And Hear
And ... Feel!?!

Jesus Christ Raised The Rotted Dead Back To Life!
He Proved His Word
And
He Will Do The Same For Us

So Let's Praise, Worship

Honor And Obey
Bless And Ever Believe
The Word Of Our King Jesus
Who, Being Ever Faithful
Is

Coming To Earth Again ... Real Soon!

The Second Coming Of The Lord Christ

May Be Morning
May Be Evening
May Be Even At Noon
So, Know Of A Surety
Whatever The Life You Lead
Whatever Character You Cultivate
At The Grand Appearing

Whatever The Time Of Day
You Will Not ... You Cannot
- Even If You Wanted To -
Change Your Tune!

Let Jesus Christ

By His Holy Spirit

- The Spirit Of Truth -

Groom Your Character

So That In The Fullness Of Time

You Shall Inherit

The Eternal Youth Bloom!

PRESERVATION By ... SACRIFICE?!

Self

• -Satisfaction
• -Centeredness
• -Aggrandizement 
• -Love
• -Serving
• -Interests
• -Righteousness

Must Be Set Aside
IF
Self-Destruction
Is To Be Avoided
AND

One Is 

- For Eternity -
To Find Christ's Peace
AND
Enjoy His Perfect Rest!

The Law Of Self
-Preservation
IS
The Law Of Self
-Sacrifice
AND
Every Other Ode To The Self
IS
A Satanic Device!

If We Would Look
At The Grain Harvests Of The World
We Will Learn Two Great Truths
That Pertain To Jesus Christ
The Creator
Of The Heaven And The Earth!

To Preserve Seed
To Fill Man's Food Need
The Best Seed
Is Thrown Out
To Suffer Death
In The Cold Earth
AND
In So Doing
It Regenerates
AND

Grows Again
Marching On To A Great Harvest
Again

To Feed The Earth!

The Not-The-Best Seed
Is Marketed 

For The Table
For The Consumption Of Men
Never To See The Light Of Life
Never To Praise The Lord -
The Last Word It Will Ever Hear Is:

Thank You, Lord! AMEN

As In Nature
So In The Spiritual Realm:

Christ's Death
Raises A Harvest Of Fruit
Because He Resurrected
Proving To Death
That He, The Lord Jesus Christ
Is, Indeed 

The Truth
The Way
The Only Way To Life
AND
All Who Will Work For Him
Will Preserve Surrendered-To-Christ Self
By Self ... SACRIFICE!

Today, We Celebrate Independence

BUT

Raging Independence 

May Have An Exposed Nail In Its Shoe

Piercing Those Who Live For Self

Introducing Blood-Poisoning -

That Disease Vile

So, Please 

Do Not Let This Happen To You!

"Give To Get!"Is The Old Adage
Even Today ... Still True

ANDI Beseech You, Brethren
Give Of Self
To The Service Of Christ Jesus
For
- In Pleasure And For Eternal Blessing -
The Almighty God
- Has Heavenly Delights

Including A Name
A Crown

AND
Even A Bright Mansion -
Prepared
- Personally -
For You!
I've Got One, Too!

Give To Live!

Live To Give!

HARVEST CELEBRATION: The Sower Of Bad Seed!

The Devil Is A Sower
The Known Sower Of Bad Seed
The Harvest Is The World At Large
AND
The Reapers Are God's Angels
Gloriously Bright And Clean!

Among The Seed Of God's Delight
Satan Scattered
Envy Hate
Strife And Fight
Mischief Meddle
Obfuscate And Backbite
Urging With False Words
A Growing Explosion
Enough To Seemingly Cover The Truth
AND
Enough To Make Many Men From God
To Stand Oh, So Rigidly Aloof!

The Reapers
Those Angels From Heaven's Realm
Are Waiting For The Word From God
To Begin Harvesting
For
God Himself
Compassionately
Lets Each Man
By His Own Free Will
Grow Up To Be
The Kind Of Grain Stalk
He Desires To Be!

God Sends His Rain For Growth
On The Just
AND
The Unjust
AND
Permits All To Grow
Until It Is Harvest Time
AND
Harvest The Grain He Must!

In The Day Of Harvest
The Angel-Reapers Dig In Deep
First Removing The Unbelieving Darnell For Burning
Piling Up The Bundles Neat
But
The Good Grain For God's Granaries
Are Therein Gently Laid
Until The Harvest Celebration
Where The Full Tally Is Beautifully Displayed!

The Bonfire For The Darnel
That Unfruitful Strain
Will Have No One Holding Pointing Sticks
Nor Bringing Potatoes For Baking 
For It Is A Bad Business
That Causes God No Happiness To Express
Nor Show!

God Desires That None Should Perish!
God Did Everything
To Make Man's Destruction
A No Show
But ... Man
Dismissing God
For A Few Dying Honors
Choose Not God's Guerdon
That Is
To God's Reward To Yearningly Aspire!

Be Wise, Dear Ones!
Don't Devalue The Cost
Of Your Own Souls Salvation!
Don't Devalue What The Son's Death
Cost Our Heavenly Father God
AND
Don't Permit That Sinner-Most-Foul
A Moment's Celebration
By Being A Dog Dumpling
In The Here And The Now!

Bless God
AND
Be Blessed!
Bless God
AND
Relieve Your Stress!
Bless God
AND
His Holy Name Confess!
Bless God
For In Him Is 
Your Assurance Of Eternal Bliss!

Call A Spade A Spade!

Satan Is The Liar

AND

The Father Of Lies!

He Hates What God Loves

Hence

God's Truth He Does Categorize

AND

The Creator Of Life

AND

He Seeks To Demonize

The Sanctity Of Eternal Life!

*********

The Man 

Standing In His Right Mind

In Jesus' Faith

Before The Eternal God

Is A Direct Challenge 

To Satan's Power!
