HAPPY SABBATH + Getting To Know The Great God!





All-Absorbing Selfishness
Met Self-Denying Endurance
And
Instantly Despised Him!

Self-Denying Endurance
Met All-Absorbing Selfishness
- A Lost Soul
Willing To Destroy Everything And Anything
That Came Between Him And His Lust
For Fame
For Fortune
For Sensual Gratification
For Power
For Praise
For The Preeminence
In All Things
At All Times
No Matter The Costs To Others -
And
He Felt A Pitying Love For Him!

All-Absorbing Selfishness Saw
And
Interpreted The Look
And
Felt A Consuming Hatred For This Minion 
Who Loved People ... Not Things
And
Who Strove Conscientiously
Working While It Was Day
Loving The Life Of Light
Compliments The Light Of Life
And
Not The Delicious Shadows Of The Darkest Of Nights
Where Pleasures Innumerable Strode!

Self-Denying Endurance Extended His Hand
And
Spoke Gently.

The Answering Response Was Vulgarly Rude!

Endurance Did Not Take Offense!

Selfishness Became Incensed!
Endurance Benignly Smiled!

Selfishness Became Fighting Mad
And
A Few Utensils Were Bent!
A Couple Bowls Were Broken!

Endurance Was Unfazed
Even Though A Flying Sliver Of Glazed Clay
Had His Face Grazed!

Selfishness Was Red In The Face
His Chest Heaving!
He Called Upon The False Gods Visible
But
It Appeared They Were Eating Sleeping
Gone On A Long Trip
Blind Deaf Dumb
Solidly Immobile
And
To Endurance's Way Of Thinking
Fantastically Aka Utterly
Useless!

Endurance Spoke Up
When Selfishness Gave Up In Defeat:

Perhaps You Should Call On The God Living
Who Is The Shepherd Good
The Physician Great
Of Salvation The Rock
The Tower Strong
The Hope Certain
Of Peace The Provider
Of Rest, Sure!

I Do Not Need Another God!

That's Quite True! 
You Only Need The Holy God!
Those To Whom You Petition
Are Decorating Your Life
With Sure Damnation!

That ... Is Defamation!

That, My Brother
Is The Plain Truth Declaration!

I Declare That I Don't Like You!

I Say To You That I Love You
And
I Desire ... By The Mercies Of The Eternal God
That Your Soul ... By His Love
May Be Eternally Saved!

There's Nothing Eternal!
Not My Possessions
Not My Power
Not My Prestige
Not Even My Life!

Very True!

Pardon Me!?!
Don't You Know How The Polite Game Is Played!?!

I Sure Do
But
I Don't Indulge In Fairy Tales!

You're A Very Strange Person!
You May Draw Closer
And Tell Me Your Story!

Very Well!
My Story Is All About Christ Jesus
The Loving Savior Who Died To Save Me!
My Story Is About The Good Shepherd
Who Through Green Pastures To Still And Living Waters
Do Daily Safely Guide Me!

My Story Is About The High Priest Of My Confession
The One Who In Heaven's Temple
In The Most Holy Place
Is Advocating
Interceding For Me!

My Story Is About My Friend
My Lord
My King
My God
My Creator
My Redeemer
My Provider
My Hope
And
My Help
The One Faithful
Kind
Blessing Loving Giving
And
Forever True
The One Who Loves Me Personally
The One Who Truly Loves You ...!

... Loves Me!?!

Loves You Eternally!

But Why!?!
I Know I Don't Know Him!
We Have Never Met!
I Know I've Never Seen Him
Because On Every Good God Worth Knowing
My Eyes Have On Their Faces Been Set!

If I May Say So, Friend
That Is Your Problem I Fear! 

My God Loving Is Invisible
Seen Only Through The Eye Of Faith
And
He, It Is, Is The One Only
Who Causes Us To Be Beneficiaries Of Loving Grace!

The Only Grace I Know Is A Lady Of The Night!

Oh, Dear!

You Speak Truth!
She's Very Expensive!

Cough! Cough!

Selfishness, My New Friend
Let Me Introduce To The Man
Who Gives Grace For Free!

Wow! 
She Told Me I Had To Give Her An Annuity!

Please Focus On What I'm Saying!

Faith
Grace And Mercy
Love And Truth
Peace And Rest
Forgiveness And Salvation
Are Free 
And 
Freely Available Gifts
To Me
To You
To Us
From The Invisible God!

Ask ... And It Shall Be Given!
Seek ... And You Shall Find!
Knock At His Door
And
He'll Open It!

Truth Be Told
He Is The Door
And
He's Open To You Right Now!

He's Knocking ... Even Now
At Your Heart's Door!
Please Let Him In!

Are You Joshing Me!?!

Heaven Forbid It!

Are You Serious!?!

I Sure Am!

What's It Going To Cost Me!
It's Gotta Cost Something!

It Will Cost You Your Heart
Your Will
Your Way
Your Trust
Your Obedience
Your Endurance
Your Very Life!

This Is Not Possible!
I'd Prefer To Give Money!

He Doesn't Need Your Money!
He Needs Your Time And Your Talents!
He Has Work For You To Do!

Work!?!
That Means A Pay Check!
How Much And For How Long!?!

Let's See ...

Eternal Life
Personal Mansion
New Name
White Robe
Gold Crown
Harp Of Gold
Country House
Water Of Life
Tree Of Life
Walks On Streets Made Of Purest Gold
Seeing Him Face To Face
Incorruptibility
Immortality
Eternal Life ...!

... You Said That Twice!

It Tasted Nice The First Time
So I Had To Get A Second Taste!

You Actually Sound As Though You Believe
The Word Of Your God!

I Do Because It's True!

I Wish I Could Believe Like That
Instead Of Going Through Useless Motions
Exercising False Emotions!

He Can Do It For You!
Just Call On Him
And
He Will Answer You
And
He Will Show You Great Things
About Which You Know Nothing!

Don't I Need A Reason ...!?!

... He Says To All

Come ... Let Us Reason Together!

I Can Reason
From Cause To Effect!

With Him, You May Reason
And
By So Doing
You May Become One Of His Few Chosen
His Very Elect!

Elect As In Election!?!

Indeed!

Never Mind!
He Must Be A Politician!

No, He's Not!
He's Not A Man That He Should Lie
Nor The Son Of Man
That He Should Be Variable
Constantly Changing His Mind!

If That Is True
He's Got To Be Real!

He's Real!
He's Righteous!
He's Giving And Forgiving!
He's Faithful Just And True
And
He Desires Your Love!

He's The Blessing God
And
Desires Personal Communion With You!

I Know Desire!

It's Not That Kind Of Desire!
He's The Only Holy God
And
You're Unique, Irreplaceable
And
He Desires To Have You Make Your Home
In His Father's House
Where All Is Truth
Where The Emotion Is Holy Love
Where The Atmosphere Is Peace
And
Truly Restful!

May I Speak To Him!?!

You Surely May!
Just Speak As You Would To A Dear Friend
And
Do Not Repeat The Same Thing Over And Over
As The Heathens Do When They Pray!

Even As You Speak Also Take Time To Listen!
He Sacrificially Loves 
And 
Wants To Eternally Bless You!

Amazing!
I'll Have A New Life!

Indeed!
A New Life In Christ!

BE WARY





BE WARY


Be wary when at your worship
The Good Book - it is not opened
And never a Bible text noted
But popular wisdom is e'er grandly quoted!

Saints please don't become like sheeple
Because of over-yonder pretty people
Alphabet buildings, rock bands, comfy seats
Movie nights, and disciple retreats!



Prosperity's the gospel, feel-good's theology

Lightens your pocket and weighs down your soul!

If that's all that's wanted, I tell you clear

You got what you paid for: you sit in the best chair!

Seek the Undiluted Word of Our God
It's inerrant, it's faithful, everlasting and true
Yes, it's Inspired of God's Holy Spirit, and
Always has a sure word for you, too!

All God's people, turn away, turn away
From man's devices, and Satan's deceits!
Demand, I tell you, a “doth saith the Lord!”
Else return to those heathens their nice empty seats! **BJC**
