HAPPY SABBATH: An Anchorless Ship Is Loose!

Since The Holy God, The Truth, Has Already Told Us That 

The Heart Of Man Is Desperately Wicked

Then We Should Not Be Suprised That 

Practicing Wickedness Is A Thing! 

With This In View

What We, As Working, Committed, Christians Should Be Doing

Is 

Surprising The World By Not Being A Participant With It 

In Practicing Wickedness Which Is Lawlessness

Which Is Sin

Which Is The Transgressing Of The Laws Of 

The Eternal Holy God! 

Beloved, 

Understand This: 

Doing Wickedness Is No Load For Us 

Because 

It Is Part And Parcel Of Who We Are ... Because Of Sin! 

Choosing Not To Indulge In Sin, In Wickedness

Requires Real, Personal, Effort 

And

The Constant Help Of 

Our Blessed Savior, Redeemer, And Forever Friend 

Who Died The Most Cruel Death To Break Sin's Hold Upon Us! 

Dear Ones, 

An Anchorless Ship Goes With The Tide Every Which Way

And 

Is Loose 

And 

Is Lost! 

A Ship At Anchor Is In Port 

And

Is At Its Designated Berth! 

Jesus Christ The King

Is 

The Anchor For Our Souls! 

Are You With Him!?! 

Is He In You!?! 

Let's Do Our Homework 

So That We May Pass The Master's Class! 

Do Good 

And

Good Will Attend You! 

Peace!

Lean On Jesus!

Have You Considered, Even For A Moment, That 

Wherever Our Minds Go, Our Bodies Follow!?! 

Have You Considered The Word That Says That 

As A Man Thinks In His Heart So Is He!?! 

Have You Seriously Given Consideration To The Warning That 

We Not Only Sin By Word And Deed 

But Also By Thought, Our First Step Into Action!?! 

Beloved, 

We Think Before We Speak 

And

We Speak Before We Act

Even If It Is Only To Ourselves! 

Many Of Us Would Love To Say That 

We Acted Without Thinking 

But 

Saying This Negates The Fact That 

Thoughts Are To Words And Actions 

What Food Is To Energy And Strength! 

The Elders Always Warned Us By Saying 

"What A Sober Mind Conceals

A Drunken Mind Reveals!" 

Beware Of Passion And Pride 

And 

Let No One Encourage You Into The Folly Of 

"No Guts, No Glory!" 

Vainglory Is Not Glory 

Because 

It Does Not Profit! 

If You Desire Real And Lasting Glory

Choose To Glory In The Cross Of Christ!

Let Us Dare Today 

To Think On Christ Jesus Who Thinks On Us 

And

Let Us By Working Faith Choose To Follow His Example 

By Indulging Exalted Thoughts

Kind Words

And 

Lovingly-Done Deeds! 

Choose To Learn Impulse Control 

Or Else

Instead Of Being Led By The Customized Reins Of 

The Word Of God

You Will Be Like A Pop-Kite 

On The Ferocious Winds Of Destructive Change 

Compliments Of Satan The God-Fraud! 

Lean On Jesus Christ The King! 

Learn From Jesus Christ The Lord! 

Jesus Christ, Alone, Saves! 

Peace!

HAPPY SABBATH + Put Your Hand In The Hand!

When One Is Accustomed To Living In Bold Sin

It Is Difficult Indeed To Change Direction 

And

Live Right 

Under The Light Of Life That Shines Brightly 

Exposing The Dark Rooms Which Are Within Our Hearts! 

It Is Even More Difficult To Stay In Sin 

When You Know The Living Truth That 

Saves Your Soul From The Prophesied 

And 

Certain Ruin Aka Damnation And Hell! 

Beloved, 

Dare To Fight Against Sin ... Not Salvation! 

Dare To Fight Against Self ... Not The Savior! 

Dare To Walk In The Light 

And 

Not Walk In The Shadows 

Where The Whispers Are Loud

The Scents Are Overwhelming

The Sensations Are Overpowering

And 

Resistance Is Non-Existent! 

Please Remember That You Are Not Alone 

When You Choose To Daily, Faithfully

Enduringly Walk Wisely Before The Lord Christ 

Who Is The God Who Performs ... The Impossible! 

When We Place Unyielding Faith 

And 

Trust In Our Lord

Looking To Him Alone To Bless

To Provide, Correct And Protect

To Teach And Uplift

To Lead And Feed

To Carry And Comfort

To Hold And Help

To Save And Seal

We Will ... At The Appointed Time 

After Test And Trial

Safely Arrive At The Heavenly Home! 

Please Keep Your Eyes Fixed And Focused 

On The Holy Jesus 

And

Your Hand In The Hand Whereon Your Name 

Is 

Inscribed! 

You Are Loved: 

Believe It 

And 

Be Blessed Today! 

Peace!

THE HEART OF MAN: Wickedness!

The Heart Of Man
- Unchanged By The Holy Spirit Of The Eternal God
Is 
In All Aspects Amazingly Vile 
Never Desiring To Do What Is Good And Right! 

Beloved, 

We Are Wicked 
And 
Marked For Death, Twice
When We Don't Have The Love Of God In Our Hearts! 

Wickedness Is Of The Genus "I Plan This!" 
It Is Out Of The Pot "Devilish Doings!" 
And 
It Destroys All Who Are The Bold, Unrepentant, Sinners 
Asking "What God!?!" 

Consider This ...

Wickedness 
Is 
Like Avidly Licking An Uncut Ghost Pepper 
And Saying 
"Wow! This Is Nothing!
I Could Eat This All Day Every Day! 
I Love It!" 

And Then

You Nonchalantly Start Biting It
And Chewing It 
And Can't Swallow It 
And Can't Spit It Out
And You Want Your Mommy 
And Your Daddy
Your Doctor
Your Lawyer
And
The Hated Undertaker ... When All Hope Is Known Lost

And Then ... Remembering

You Call On The Name Of The Lord Who Saves Sinners
Who Then ... On Your Earned Paycheck 
For The Wages Of Sin, Says: 

"Depart From Me! 

I Never Knew You!" 

Brethren,

Burning Mout'
Burning Belly 
And 
Burning Body In The Burning Lake Of Fire 
Ain't Worth It
Ain't Worth Being Wicked
Ain't Worth Being A Willing Sinner
Ain't Worth Being An Unrepentant Sinner
Ain't Worth Paying For A Crime That's Already Paid For! 

In All Humility
I Beseech Us All To Stick With Jesus Christ 
Our Lord The King
And 
Choose To Live Right! 
Innumerable Blessings Await The Righteous! 

Find Your Peace

In The Lord Of Life

Who Is Coming To Take Us To

Our Forever Home!

HAPPY SABBATH + THE HEART OF MAN + PRAYER: Lead Kindly Light!

The Heart Of Man Is Desperately Wicked! 
The Fool Says In His Heart That There Is No God! 

Wisdom And The Ability To Walk Come From Our Maker! 

We Are To Trust In The Lord Forever 
For In Him Is Everlasting Strength! 

Man ... Fallen Short Of The Glory Of The Eternal God
Is 
A Sinner! 

Only Jesus Christ Can Provide The Deliverance 
From Sin, Self, Satan, Death, Hell 

And 

The Grave That Man Needs!

Man Needs Jesus Christ ... Almighty God 
Who Alone Is Wise! 

We Are Man: Let's Be Wise ... Unto Salvation! 

Let's Be Humble 

And 

Walk To The Throne Of Grace Boldly 
Where We Are Promised Help 

In Our Time Of Need! 

We Need Help Now! 

PRAYER:

Heavenly Father

In Jesus Christ's Holy Name

Please Deliver Us From The Evil That Is Stalking Man! 

Help Us To Trust You Faithfully

And Obey Always, Out Of Love

And For Blessings Untold That 

Await Us Who Are  Faithful To The End! 

Help Us, Dear Lord

To Recognize, Understand And Accept

That We Have The Great Need For Our Only Savior

And

Help Us To Act With Resolve

Calling Upon That Most Worthy Name

Jesus Christ The Righteous

Before Whom Every Knee

In Heaven And Upon The Earth

Shall, With Humility, Bow! 

Oh, Lord

How Long Before We Hear That Glad Sound

Signalling That Our Lord Christ Returns!?! 

However Long, Lord

Help Us To Keep The Faith Of Jesus Christ 

The Faith Of The Father

Our Hope For Surpassing Glory! 

Help Us Not To Look At What Is

But To Look To And Hope In 

Who Is Creator, Sustainer, Redeemer, Almighty God

Able To Heal, Help

Feed And Reveal 

Save And Seal! 

Help Us To Deny That Base Liar, Satan

The Accuser Of The Brethren

Our Known Adversary

Who, As A Roaring Lion

Is Seeking Whom He May Devour! 

Help Us To Resist That Devil 

So That He Will Flee From Us! 

Oh, Father

Help Us To Sing In Our Hearts That Glad Song

"Christ Returneth!" 

To Cheer Us On Our Way

As We Are, Indeed, Nearing Home! 

Help Us To Not Lose Our Hope

Our Grip On Grace! 

Help Us So That No Created Being 

May Disturb Or Destroy

Our Bed Of Belief

Built On The Rock That Shall Destroy The Great Idol

And Shall Fill The Whole Earth Forevermore! 

Help Us, Dear Father

To Ever Remember

And

Always Embrace The Truth That Saves

That Says:

The Lord Jesus Christ Is My Only Shepherd

Therefore I Shall Lack Nothing

Because

He Leads Me, Personally 

Into Green Pastures

And 

Glory Be To The Father

To The Son

And

To The Holy Spirit

By Whom We Are Sealed

Against The Day Of Vengeance

He Lovingly Restores My Soul! 

We Need You, Dear Lord! 

Please Take Us By The Hand

And 

By Your Kindly Light 

Lead Us Safely, Gently

Surely, Securely

To Our Eternal, Heavenly, Home! 

In Jesus Christ Matchless, Holy Name

We Pray And Importunately Plead! 

We Love You! 

Please Come Soon! 

AMEN!

Almighty God Knows Every Man's Heart!

The Lord Knows ...

The End From The Beginning!
The Way Of The Righteous!

The Thoughts And Intents Of Every Man's Heart!

The Lord Said ...

Come, Let Us Reason Together!

Be Not Wise In Thine Own Eyes! 

 My Spirit Shall Not Always Strive With Man!

Thou Shalt Have No Other Gods Before Me! 

Seek Ye The Lord While He May Be Found! 

Remember The Sabbath Day To Keep It Holy!

Blessed Is The Man
Who Walks Not In The Counsel Of The Ungodly! 

Come Unto Me And I Will Give You Rest! 

Take My Yolk Upon You And Learn Of Me!

Do Not Covet! 

Do Not Bear False Witness!

Serve The Lord With Fear And Rejoice With Trembling! 

Seek Good, And Not Evil, That You May Live! 

Believing His Word
I Said ...

Bless The Lord, Oh, My Soul!

Having Faith
I Said ...

Give Ear To My Words, Oh, Lord
And
Consider My Meditation!
Arise, Oh Lord, And Save Me!

Do Not Cast Me Away From Your Presence!

Be My Shepherd

And

Give Unto Me Your Peace

Which Passes Human Understanding!

You Are My Rock And My Refuge!

I Look Unto You As The Author 

And 

Finisher Of My Faith

Because

I Know That It Is From You That All My Help Comes!

I Love You, Lord!

Thank You For Your Gift Of Love!

Thank You For The Lord Christ Jesus!

Thank You For The Call To Come Home!

I Worship You!

I Praise You!

I Bless Your Holy Name!

The Lord ...

Shall Judge All The People!
Shall Not Clear The Guilty!

The Lord Is ...

My Shepherd

My Light
My Salvation
And
The Strength Of My Life!
I Shall Not Be Greatly Moved!

The Lord God Almighty Is My King!

KJV Psalms 147

5 Great is our Lord, and of great power:

his understanding is infinite.

6 The LORD lifteth up the meek:

he casteth the wicked down to the ground.

11 The LORD taketh pleasure in them that fear him, in those that hope in his mercy.

Brethren,

A Word To The Wise Is Ever Sufficient! 
We Are Finite, Daily Dying, Creatures 
But 

The Lord God Almighty ... To Save

Is 

Infinite In Being, Wisdom, And Power:

We Need Him Desperately! 

Let Us, Therefore, Be Meek

Humbling Ourselves Before The Holy God 

Who Remembers That We Are Dust 

But 

Still Lowers Himself 

To Love, Bless, And Keep Us 

In His Holy Care! 

Let Us Be Bold Enough 

To Be Wise Enough 

To Humble Self Before His Majesty

- In Obedience - 

To Gain The Eternal Blessing ... Life With Christ!
Nothing Else Satisfies The Longing In The Heart Of Man!

Salvation Salves: Jesus Christ Saves

Wait, Wait, Wait!
Start Again From The Beginning
So That Gracie Can Hear The Whole Story!

This Is Unbelievable!

It May Be Unbelievable
But It Is True!

I Was Minding My Own Business!
I Had Not A Care In The World!
That Should Have Been My First Clue!
But, Nooo!
I Was Too Busy Brushing Out My Nice Curls!

I Went Back Into My Living Room! 

There Had Been No Intruder Alert
But, There, Reclining Like A Boss
In My Comfy Chair
Was Known Sin
Bold As Brass
Inviting Me To Have A Cuddle With Him!

I Had Not Even Thought On Him

Not Even On A Whim! 

What On Earth Did You Do!

Being Ever So Polite

- I Wasn't Raised In A Barn, You Know -
And Not Wanting To Offend
I Asked Him Ever So Nicely
Who Had Let Him In!

He Looked Me Dead In My Face
Seeming To Grow Bigger As He Did
And
Gruffly Informed Me:

Don't Play, Ms. PRISS!
You, Yourself, Let Me In
And Of Your Life

I Am Now In Control!

But, How!?!
Why!?!
When!?!

To Be Precisely Exact

Tuesday Gone Week

At Half-Four In The P. M.
You Were Tired
Your Strength Was Weak
You Were Upset At Life

And 
Ignoring The Master's Warning
That This Life Is A Strife
That You Would Have Tribulation
That You Were Not To Doubt
That All Things Work For Your Good
That His Grace Is Sufficient
That You Do Not Walk Alone
That This Life Is Fleeting
That This World Is Not Your Home
When 

You Indulged Self
Giving Self Total Control
Who

- Obviously Knowing The Drill -
Grandly Handed Over Control Of
Your Self To Me, Sin
And, So
Control Over Your Despised Life
I Am Full Control Here And Now Taking!

But, But ...!

... But's Hurt!
Here! Take This Bruise!

You Must Be Mad!

I Am!
You Lose!

Lord Jesus ...!

... Don't You Start With That Folly!
Come Lie And Lie With Me!
Things Will Be Quite Jolly!

We Went Back And Forth
And 
I Knew This Was A Lost Cause
After Being Impressed By The Good Angels
That This Was A Ploy
To Stop Me From Praying
From Going To The Source Of My Strength
To Stop Me From Realizing
That God's Grace Is Heaven Sent!

I Stepped Back From The Miasma
That Shroud That Was Hanging About
And
Leaned Upon The Lord Of Life
The Sun Of Righteousness
The Shepherd Of Rest
My Certain Hope For Surpassing Glory
And
I Let All My Sorrow Hang Out:

Oh, God

Thou King Of Glory!

Oh, Lord, King Of My Soul

My Light!

I Am In Deep Trouble!

I Need You!

Known Sin Is In My Camp

And

He Is Turning My Day Into Darkness 

Into Night That Blights!

I Made A Terrible Mistake, My Father

My Hope, My Help, My True Friend!

I Looked Inward

Instead Of Outward-Upward

And, Sin

Known Sin Has, Uninvited

My Life Entered In!

Father,

I Am Sorry For My Folly!

I Looked Away From You!

It Was Only For A Moment!

Help Me Please!

I Believe Your Word

And

I Know Of A Surety

That You Are The Holy God!

I Believe In And Completely Trust You!

Gracious!

What Happened Next!

I Don't Know What Happened While I Was Praying
But 

When I Opened My Eyes
I Saw That Known Sin Struggling
As Though He Was Fighting For His Life!

Soon Enough
I Heard The Door Open!
I Heard The Door Close!
I Felt My Heart Singing
And
Not Being Able To Restrain Myself
I Started Rejoicing ...!

... You Had Me Going There For A Minute!
I Really Thought You Were Telling A Real Story!

I Was!
I Am!

Liar!
Nobody Can See Sin!
And, Furthermore
Which Door Did You See Him Going Through!?!

So Young, So Young!
You Have Much To Learn!

You Don't See Sin!
You See The Effects Of Sin!
The Door Is The Door To The Heart

And

The Struggle Is Between The Flesh And The Spirit!

I Wanted, I Desired, The Lord
His Holy Spirit!
Self Wanted The Fraud
The Life Without Limits!

Those Two Cannot Co-Exist!

The One You Feed 
Is
The One Who Controls

And
The Life You Lead Determines
The Eternity You Will Behold!

Self Let Loose Always Leads To Sin!

Sin Comes From Satan!

Self Yielded To The Savior
Always Leads To Faith
And
The Indwelling Holy Spirit!

The Soul Controlled By The Spirit Of Life
Always
Holds Salvation As A Sweet Delight!

Sin Sours Your Soul, Your Life!
Salvation Salves Your Spirit, Brightens Your Light!
Satan Destroys!
Jesus Christ Saves!

So, Please, I Beseech You
Do Not Let Unchecked Self Turn You Into
A Beholden-To-Sin Slave!

The Way Of The Cross

Is

Onward And Upward

In Self-Denial

And

In Willing

And

Obedient Service! 

Do Your Due Diligence

And

Yield To Working Faith

And

You Will Not Suffer Loss!

Let Jesus Christ

- Of Your Daily Life -

Be Your One

- Your Only -

Honored "Boss!" 

 

REALITY CHECK: Almighty God Looks At The Heart!

All Who Call Themselves Believers
Would Do Well To Think On This:

Mortal Man Looks At The Outward Appearance!
The Eternal God Looks At The Heart
And

Every Work Will Be Brought Into Judgment
With Every Secret Thing
Because

There Is Nothing Hid That Shall Not Be Made Known!

Not Everybody That Says Lord, Lord
Shall Enter Into The Kingdom Of God
Because

Ye Must Bear Good Fruit!

Ye Must Be Obedient Unto Death!

We May Cry Out That We Have Faith 
But
Faith Without Work Is Dead!

Thou Shalt Have No Other God But The Living God!

When You Walk With The Lord
In The Shed Light Of The Living Word
The Fraud Can't Turn You From 
The Straight And Narrow Way
But
When With Truth You Compromise
And
Build A Great Mansion On Shifting Sand
And
Fill It With The Proceeds Of The Profit
Gained From Bold Lies
You, Effectively
Cut Yourself Off From All The Heavenly Ties!

Please ...

Don't Toil For Earthly Reward
And
Don't Live The Life Of The Wily Fraud
Because 
The Lake Of Fire And Brimstone Awaits You
As It Is Sin's Just Reward!

A Heart For The Lord Christ Is A Priceless Treasure!
A Faith Strong Gives To Our God A Great Pleasure
And 
He Is Well Pleased To Help Us Keeping Walking 
In His Known Way!

Deceit Is Quite Real When We Want Heavenly Treasure
Even As We Swing Sin's Gross Vomit Pail!
This Is Not Right
And 
All Who Indulge In This Practice
Will Most Assuredly Fail!

You, Me, We May Fool Mortal Man
But
We Can't Fool The Son Of Man
Who Made Each Of Us A Living Soul
And
Offers The Heavenly Home
As The Life Goal Of The Soul!

Brethren,

It Is Time To Stop Saying
That The Other Person "Needs" Jesus Christ!
That The Other Person "Needs" To Repent Of Sin!
That The Other Person "Needs" To Walk Right
In The Sight Of The Holy God
When We Are The Very Ones Fornication 
On The Altar Of The True And Living God!

Man Sees What You Desire Him To See!
Man Hears What You Desire Him To Hear!
But

No Man
No Demon
Not Satan
Can Know What The Eternal God
Knows From Our Hearts!

Sometimes I Shudder At the Thought That 
Almighty God Knows Me Better Than I Know My Self
And
Other Times
My Heart Rejoices To Know That My God
Loving
Living And Forgiving
Knows Me Inside Out
Top To Bottom
Side To Side
Back To Front!

From The Lord Of Life, I Cannot Hide
So, I Choose In His Way
In His Heart
In His Love
To Abide
And
Confide
To Stem Sin's Tide!

Truth Be Told ...

I Have No Desire That My Unrepented Of Sin Collide With 
Almighty God's Wrath
Because 
I Am Too Proud To Bend To His Will
And
Walk In His Prescribed Way
To Be Blessed With Eternal Success!

Decisions Must Be Made ...

I Choose  ... By Jesus Christ's Faith
To Humble Myself Before Almighty God
Before Almighty God Has To Humble Me
And
Ultimately Destroy Me!

Indulging Foolishness

Is Not Sense ... In Any Language!

Brethren,

Get Ye Hence To The Savior Of Mankind
And

Get Salvation!

It Is Free To Any And Every Body!
