Stop Chasing Perfection Of The Man-Made Sort!

 

It Must Be Said: 

We Really Need To Stop Chasing Perfection Of The Man-Made Sort 

Pleasure Derived By Ungodly Means

And 

Prominence To Be Seen And Heard And Cooed Over

And 

Start Studiously Seeking The Savior 

Who Sanctifies Aka Sets Us Apart

And 

Seals And Secures Us To Be Able To Stand Before Him 

In The Heavenly Sanctuary! 

There Is No Profit In Pride! 

Man's Approval Isn't The Same As The Lord's 

And

Man's Arm Is A Poor Weapon In Battle! 

Beloved, 

Self-Serving Sinners May Become Working Saints 

And 

Be Saved 

But

Serving Saints Who Again Become Willing Sinners 

Seeking All-About-Me Success And Temporal Security 

Will Assuredly Be Damned! 

Dear Ones, 

Anyone May Make A Mistake 

But 

When A Mistake Becomes A Deliberate 

And 

Turns Into A Way Of Life

That Is When It Shall Be Said: 

"Christian, We Have A Problem!" 

Please, I Beseech Us All

Do Not Allow The Prideful Idea Of Self-Made 

To Become Your Ideal 

And 

Turn You Into A Cast-Off Cast-Away From The City Of God! 

Pretty Isn't Always Beautiful

Pleasure Isn't Always Sweet

And 

Prominence Isn't Ever Perfection!

Every Man After The Eternal God Should Avidly Seek! 

Our Perfection Comes From Jesus Christ The Lord, Our King! 

Peace!

CHRISTIANS: Peculiar Privileged People

The Word On Everybody's Tongue Today 

Is 

Privilege! 

We Are Being Asked To Check, As In Arrest, Our Privilege 

As Though Privilege 

Is 

A Bad Thing!

All Privileges Are Not Created Equal!

Beloved, 

We Are Christians ... Christ's Followers

And

By Virtue Of Our Faithful Association

We Have Access, Reach, Grasp And Hold!

We Are Peculiarly Privileged

So I Encourage Us All To Embrace 

The High And Holy Privilege That 

We Each Have Been Accorded By The Lord Of Life

The Creator-God

The Joy Of Every Man! 

Consider That We Are The Apple Of The Eternal God's Eye 

Even As He Holds The World In His Hand 

And 

He ... Personally Invited

Lives In Each Of Our Hearts! 

Think On These Things ...

We Have The Free And Open Invitation 

To, At-Will, Boldly Approach The Throne Of Grace 

In The Heavenly Sanctuary! 

We Are Encouraged To Reason With Our Maker! 

We Are Asked To Let Our Requests 

Be Made Known Unto The Living God! 

We Are Given Freedom

Free Will 

And 

The Choice To Worship Him

- Or Not Worship Him - 

Who Could Easily Deprive Us Of Life: 

No Force Is Employed! 

If These Things Are Not Privileges

We Will Never Ever Know 

What Makes Something A Real Privilege! 

Our God Is Holy, Kind, Loving

Giving, Forgiving

The Mighty Healer

The Sealer Of Souls

The Revealer Of Truths That Never Die!

We Are Invited To Enter His Courts ... Without Fear

So Let's Dare ... Today

To Ignore The World 

And

Choose To Embrace The Privilege 

Personally Given To Each Of Us 

To Become A Son Or Daughter Of The God Of Love 

Who Inhabits Eternity 

And

Has A Personal Place Prepared For Each Of Us 

In His Heavenly House Of Peace And Joys Forevermore! 

Remember, Remember 

Don't Ever Forget ... 

Earthly Privileges Are Ours To Enjoy

If

We Please ... Or Are Of A Benefit To ... The Giver

But

Heavenly Privileges Are Ours 

To Accept Or RejectUse Or Ignore!

No One Can Force Us To Use Our God-Given Privileges

And

No One ... Human Or Spirit

Can Force Us Not To Use Our Privileges! 

The Lord God Almighty Calls Us To His Side

And

To Be Like Him

By Taking Hold And Fully Utilizing 

The Privileges He Lovingly Accords Us! 

We ... Taught Of God And Faithful ... Know Who He Is! 

We Know Who We Are Because Of Sin! 

We Know Who We Will Be By, In, And Through Him

Through His Free-To-All Salvation! 

The Final Outcome ... Our Final Outcome

Will Always Be According To Our Exercised Sovereign Will! 

Brethren, Beloved

Please Choose Your Final Port Of Call Wisely!

 

Having ... And Being In ... Perfect Peace With 

The Eternal God Of Grace And Glory

Is

The Blessed And Sacred Privilege Of

The Saints Of Almighty God And Jesus Christ The Lord!

Jesus Christ Always Saves!

My Maker Made Me Man
My God Is Of Ages Past The Rock On Which I Firmly Stand
My Father Owns Earth And Heaven
AND
I Don't Smoke Crack Nor Sniff Beer Cans!

My Real House Is A Heavenly Mansion
My True Conveyance Is Angel Wings
My Groceries Come From Heaven's Storehouse
AND
If Left To My Own Devices
I Shall From The Sting Of Sin Die

AND

Never Ever Breach The Eastern Sky!

My Granny Ma 

Indulged The Piercing Serpent In Small Talk
And By So Doing
Into Deception She Did Walk!
My Grand Papi Did Truly Love Her Companionship
AND
From The Path Of Obedience
Did Jump Ship
Because He Did Not Her Decry
And In So Doing
Disobeyed The Creator
And Ate The Fruit Called Forbidden
And Ever Since Then
My Family Has Been Suffering From
The Results Of The Subtly Conceived
Crafty Delivered
AND
Willingly Believed Bold Lie!

The Great Creator Of Us Called Human
- In Bible Speak, Man -
Uttered The Curse
Which Caused Man
From The Eden Home Garden
His Presence To Reverse!

It Deeply Hurt To See The Angel
With Everwhich Way Turning Sword
Barring Access To The Rest Home Garden
AND

The Tree That Gives Life!

But, God Be Praised For The Blessing ...

Our Life Would Have Been Forever Over
Were It Not For The Little Berry Big
Called Certain Hope
That The Savior, A Lamb
- Though Getting His Heel Bitten -
Would Give Relief

- A Way To Redemption -
By Crushing The Head Of The Adversary
The Serpent
The Dragon
The Raging Lion
The Judas Goat!

See, Here ...

It Is Fair To Say That Mami And Papi Adam Did Sin!
It Is Fair To Say That The Adversary Is Our Kind Stalking!
It Is Fair To Say That The Savior Is My Kind Calling
AND
It Is Fair To Say That
As To The Right Choice
Many Of My Kind

Are At The Making Of The Decision
Curiously Balking!

Mark This ...

Doing Good Gets Man Gain!
Doing Evil Gets Man In Fire Water Permanently Slain!
Trusting

AND

Obeying  The Creator
Gets One The Title Of Commended Saint
BUT
Trusting The Adversary
Gets One The Title Condemned Sinner

Profane!

Of Note ...

Around The Saints Are Agents Of Brer Liar The Goat
Avidly Doing The Damage Of The Hungry Stoat
Who Cares Not What The Size Of Its Prey May Be
But Is Just Grateful That It Has Warm Blood
And The Morsel  Called Meat Tasty!

But ... Harken

Ye Saints Who Trust
In The Certain Hope Given!
The Serpent Bit Your Savior
That Innocent Lamb's Heel
When
On Calvary He Was Riven
BUT
Bless God
- Father Son Holy Ghost -
The Lamb Crushed The Serpent's Head
When On The Third Day
He
From Death's Cruel Hold
Had Triumphantly Risen!

Let It Therefore, Now, Be Known
That I, Human
Am No  Follow-Pattern Clone!
I Get On My Private-Line Prayer-Phone
AND

I Call Father God
In The Name Of God The Son

- My Only Savior -
Now Seated On The Right Hand On The Eternal Throne!

I Get No Busy Signal
No Answering Service
No Shunted Call!
I Get The One
Who Listens To Me
Gladly

When I, Repentant

Confess To Behaving Badly!

I Call Just Because!

I Call Just To Shoot The Breeze!

I Call To Hold Consultation

AND

I Call

Just To Hear His Voice!

I Give A Good Listen!

I Call The Rock
- Who Is The Shepherd, A Wonder
Who Works As The Great Physician
The Author
The Finisher
Who Owns And Operates The Haven Of Rest
For Those Passing The Stress Test
Which Requires Sin To Be Repented Of 

Confessed
AND

Not Cherished
As The Thing Over Which We Are Obsessed -
My Master!

Remember This!
It's A Public Secret ...

The Haven Of Rest
Has Room
For All Those Who
- In The Working Faith
Born Of Obedience 

To The Creator's Will To Make Fallen Man's Life
A Standing Blessing -
Have Given Up
Nose Candy
Revolving Bedrooms
Putrid Affections
Making And Loving Lies
Vertical And Horizontal Trading In Flesh
Sorcery
Fear
Unbelief
Murder
AND
Idolatry!

The Best Part Of The Secret ...

Getting Victory!

Victory Over Sin!
Victory Over Death!
Victory Over Hell!
Victory Over The Grave!

A N D

Gaining
Eternal Life WITH The Savior
Plus A New Name

AND
Gold Gold Gold
As In

Golden Streets To Walk Upon

WINGS!

There IS Also The Welcome Home Feast
The Marriage Supper Of The Lamb

Better, Yet
Give Your Appointment Book To The Lord Jesus!

Jesus Christ

Will Always Save

Because

He Paid Our Bride Price

With His Own Blood

And

He, Himself, Got Up

And

Rose Up To Heaven

From The Grave

And

Is In The Most Holy Place

Of

The Heavenly Sanctuary

Interceding

For The Beloved

So That We, Willing

Will Have

Life Everlasting

Nevermore

To Sin To Be The Hobbled Slave!
