The Gracious God Who Generously Gives Us His Good Gifts:
Truth And Light Hope Help Healing Peace And Rest Righteousness And Life
Mercy And Forgiveness
That Is
Grace, Now
And
If Enduring All For Christ To The End Glory, Later!
Please Let Your Soul Bless The Lord ...
He Forgives All Your Iniquities: Your Willful, Planned, Sins!
He Heals All Your Diseases: Even The Incurable Ones!
He Redeems Your Life From Destruction: Think About That Second Death From Which There Is No Return!
He Crowns You With Loving Kindness And Tender Mercy: All Day, All Night, Angels Watch Over You!
He Satisfies Your Mouth With Good Things And
Renews Your Youth: He'll Make You Forever Young!
What Wondrous Love Is This
Expressed To Us
By The Holy God! He Gives By Daily Blessing And
In The Day To Come The Refreshing!
Should Not We Trust This Great God And Not Through This Life - Over Trivial Acquisitions - Be Inordinately Stressing!?!
Think About It ...
All Bases Are Covered! There Are No Nooks Or Crannies
Where Things Can Hide From Your View! Everything That The Lord Says That He Will Do For You Is
In The Open And On Full Display!
The One Thing That We Are Not Given To Know - Yet - Is
The Depth, Breadth, Height Of The Glories He Has Prepared For His Beloved People But We Can All Rest Assured That All Will Be Glorious And That ... Exponentially Multiplied So, We, As True And Faithful Believers Should Follow After Him ... Gladly Gratefully Unfailingly, Wisely, Wittingly, Willingly!
Think About It ...
Do You Realize That Sin Is A Sickness That Also Makes Us Physically Ill And That Is Why Very Often We Read That
The Master Told The One Ill Seeking Bodily Healing:
Thy Sin Is Forgiven Thee!
Go And Sin No More
Lest ... Something Worse Befall Thee!?!
Do You Remember That Old Tongue Twister:
How Much Wood Would A Wood-Chuck Chuck
If A Wood-Chuck Would Chuck Wood!?!
How's This Question For A Change:
How Much Sorrow Would A Sinner Save
If A Sinner Sacrificed Self To The Savior Always!?!
If Only We Knew That Is, Really, Truly, Believed
That Our Mercy Free Is Freely Available Easily Accessible And Alluringly Attainable!
Man Has A SICKNESS! His Sickness Is SIN! He SINS Because He's A Sinner And He Will Find Himself In The CESS! He Involves His KIN In His Sin Uncaring If They SINK Into The Depths Of Degradation Offering Love's KISS To The Devil And Away From Free Mercy Walking!
So Much For The Question Oft' Ask:
"What Sin!?!"
But, Thank God
There Is The Savior!
Be Grateful, Brethren ...
There Is The Savior Who Blesses
Who Saves
Who Forgives
Who Heals
Who Seals
Who Leads
Who Reveals
If, We
- Seeing Our Need -
Will Confess And Repent To The Father
- In Jesus Christ's Holy Name -
All Our Known Sin!
It's Time To Get Out Of Our Messes!
So, Look Up With Love's Eyes!
Lift Up The Weary Hands! Plod On On Strong Legs! Jesus Christ Is The Son Of Man For You ... He Died And Rose Again
And
For You
- Willing Sinner-Saved -
He's Coming To This Earth Again!
Ooooh, The Unspeakable Gift ...
The Gift Given To Man
Is
Eternity Wide Eternity Long
And
Eternity High And All It Costs For You To Achieve It Is
The Holy Bible Is Not A Toy: It's A Tool! It's Not A Football: It's A Stool! It's Not A River Running Wild: It's A Spring-Fed Pool And Best Of All, Beloved To The Saints Of Almighty God And Jesus The Christ It's The Irreplaceable Priceless
Precious

All Well And Good! Now Get To The Point!
Okay! Here Goes:
All You Have To Do Is:
Give Up Self Put On Christ Give Up Sin Accept The Gospel Story And Be Kind Be Faithful Be Obedient Loving Kind True And Recognize And Accept Honestly - With Gratitude - That Prince Shiloh The Good Shepherd The Righteous Judge Our Rock And Our Refuge He Who Is King Of The Haven Of Rest Our Only Savior Our Only Redeemer Our Creator Our Only Hope Our Only Help Our Sustainer Our Provider He Who, Alone, Can Save From Sin, Death, Hell And The Grave He Who, Alone, By Spilling His Innocent Blood Defeated Satan And Paid In Full For Our Individual Personal Private Putrid Life-Destroying Soul-Condemning Sin On Calvary's Cruel Cross Is Lord And God!
He's Prophet Priest Intercessor And Reigning Ruling King! He Made Us And He Can Break Us Forcefully But He's Asking Us To Voluntarily On His Mercy Fall To Be Broken And Regenerated Renewed To Rise Up To New Life To Live Forever In The Awesomely Glorious Presence Of The Jealous God The Consuming Fire The Ancient Of Days The God Eternal Who Knows All Sees All Is In All Who Feels All The God Who Wants Us Children Of The Dust To Come Home Forgiven Welcomed Back Into The Holy Family Not With Suspicion But With The Full Rights And Privileges Of King And Priests As Pillars In The Temple Of God As Jewels ... Priceless Jewels In The Crown Of The Majesty Of Heaven!
We Shall Worship The King In The Beauty Of Holiness! We Shall Have Daily Grace Aka Unmerited Favor! We Shall Have Faith For Each Day Strength For The Narrow, Strait, Way ...!
... Wait Up, Big Fellow! I Went To School And Not Just To Eat Lunch: Spell The Straight That Is The Way We Will Be Traveling On!
Okay! That's S T R A I T!
Oh, Man! Now Tell Me How I Knew That That Was The Way To Which You Were Referring!?!
What's S T R A I T!?! What Does It Mean!?!
You May Not Want To Know!
Tell Me, Please! I Insist!
Man, If You Travel That Strait You'll Very Likely End Up Despised Rejected Homeless, Helpless Friendless, Penniless ...!
... But Never Comfortless! Never Alone! Never Forsaken! Never Forgotten! Never Companionless! Never Stateless! Not Loveless!
You Shall Be Walking To Hill Zion The Holy City The Eternal Home!
This Is Interesting!
No! This Is Intriguing!
Ahhh! A Battle! Opposite Interpretations Expectations!
I Like This!
Yes, It's A Battle ... To The Death Of Self To Gain Life In Christ Who Purchased Us Eternal Life Absent Sin And Satan!
Wait A Minute! I Know This Story:
Satan Brought Sin To Man! Sin Brought Death To Man Christ Had Breathed Life Into Man Making Him A Living Soul Not An Immortal Soul! Satan Told Man He Is Immortal Gainsaying The Word Of God And Plunging All Mankind Into Controversy ...!
... The Great Controversy!
Indeed!
Truth Against Error! Light Against Darkness! Salvation Against Damnation! The Personal Fight Over Self And Sin! True Worship Versus False Worship! Jesus Christ Versus Satan! Heavenly Home Versus Burning Hell! Life Of Holy Love Versus Loving Carnal Life!
You Know What!?!
What!?!
I Ran From This Decision A Long Time Ago But It Is Here Again And This Time I Shall Not Say No!
I'm Buying Myself A Clue! I'll Not Again Reject The Lord's Free Grace Providing Mercy ... For Me!
I Remember The End Of The Story: Jesus Christ Gives Me The Victory!
Since I Win In The Battle That I've Not Yet Fought I'm Taking Up The Public Offer! I Choose Christ! I Choose - By His Spirit - To Be Taught!
Minor Inconveniences Will Be Endured For Major Comforts In Store!
I'm Making My Commitment! On This I Stand Firm! This Is Not Negotiable! From This I Shall Not Turn:
If Jesus Christ Will Walk With Me Guide Me Chide Me Lead Me To Walk The Right Way Feed Me Sustain Me Provide For My Daily Needs Protect Me And Bless Me To Arrive Safely At The Heavenly Home I Will Walk, By Choice - Will Committed - To And With Him!
It's Written In The Holy Book The Word Of Truth!
In That Case, My Brother:
Lord, I'm Coming Home!
Heyyyy! What About Me!?!
What, What, About You!?!
I'd Never Known About Jesus At Least Not In This Way! He's Never Been A Part Of My Experience! Will He Also For My Sins Pay!?!
Yes, My Good Friend! He Died Once ... And For All And He Will Answer You Promptly When On His Name You Call!
Jesus Loves Me!?!
Yes, He Does! He's Love Personified! It's For You That He Died!
Whatever You Do Do Not Follow The Expected Path The Known Broad Way To Destruction! Look Up And
Live Give Glory To His Name Bless The Lord Walk With Him In Accord And Receive Eternal Blessing Now And In The Great Reward!
Satan Is The Fraud!
Follow The Lord! Follow The Lord! Follow The Lord!
Every Man Is On Probation Before The Holy God! Every Man Is On Probation And He, Of His Own Will Chooses Either To Displease His Creator The Eternal God Or Please The God-Fraud!
Why Would Man Want To Displease The Living All-Seeing All-Knowing Ever-Present Feeling All Things God?!
Where's The Profit In That Can Of Worms?!
Put Like That It Sounds Really Silly Foolish Misguided But It All Comes Down To Will ... And Choice!
Free Will And Free Choice!
Freedom Is A Sharp And Double-Edged Sword!
The Word Of God Is Sharper!
The Problem Is That ... Many Men Think Consider Believe That Almighty God Is Chicken Because He Bears Long With Man That He Loves Man Too Much That He Must Save All Mankind And Can Be Persuaded Cajoled Into Non-Action And That God Is Like Man Fickle!
I Won't Wish You "Good Luck" With That Lost Cause!
No Problem! I Don't Expect Any!
There Is No Get-Out Of Jail Free Card ... Being On Heavenly Probation Is Just Like Work Probation Ex-Con Probation Which Has Consequences Only Difference Being Is That These Are Multiplied To Infinity Aka Eternal Consequences With The Heavenly Probation Officer Having Life And Death Power!
I'd Say That That Truly Ups The Ante!
I'd Say That We'd Better Look To Our Own Soul's Salvation And Stop Playing Footsie With Sin And Satan And Unwisely Courting Damnation! Hear, Hear!
Know This ... To Them That Perish The Word Of God Is Foolishness! To Them That Believe It Is The Power Of Salvation!
So How Does One Bridge That Divide?!
During The Sweet Hour Of Prayer For The Moving Of The Holy Ghost!
You Pray And Share And Another Will Teach Or Preach And Almighty God By His Holy Spirit Will Give The Increase As Sin From The Soul Does Leach!
You Know, This Has Me Thinking! Failed Probation In The Economy Of Almighty God Equals Fiery Indignation!
Indeed! Remember Noah's Flood
The Tower Of Babel Dispersion The Complaining Disobedient Hebrews Excluded From The Promised Land The Jews Going Into Babylonian Captivity AD-70 Destruction Of Jerusalem ...
... Next Stop The Second Coming!
May Almighty God Have Mercy Upon Us!
If He Wasn't Having Mercy Upon Us We'd All Already Have Been Consumed!
Brethren,It Is Time To Wise Up And Rise Up ... Against Sin!
Now Is Not The Time To Say If I Perish, I Perish!
I Wanna Live! Then You Must Your Heart To Jesus Christ Give!
He Will Never By Force Take From You!
You Must Willingly, By Certain Faith Hand It Over Humbly And In Gratitude, For Love, Mercy And Grace!
Sounds Reasonable!
It Is Reasonable
If
You Desire Of Christ's Redemption To Taste
And
The Heavenly City With Your Presence To Grace!
Time To Stop Being Base!
It Is Time, Brethren To Have Jesus Christ Set Our Pace! It Is Time, Brethren To Tie On The Gospel Boots With The Saved By Grace Shoe Lace And Get To Stepping On Vile Satan's Face! May The Living God Grant Us His Favor So That We As Living Sacrifices Be ... In His Nostrils A Pleasing Savor! AMEN!
I Want Nothing To Do With This New Bobble-Head-Inducing Preaching! Hear! Hear! The Fair Preaching Of The Word Of God
Should First Appeal To My Intellect!
It Should Then Tug At My Emotions
And
Being Convincing
Solicit For Jesus Christ
The Control Of My Will!
When Preaching Appeals Only
To My Emotions
My Intellect Exits Stage Right
And
The End Result Of That, My Friends
Is
My Will Walking Wildly Blindly
Into Darkest Night!
The Mind Matters!
The Will Wanders!
The Emotions Run Wild!
So,
It Is Necessary
- Truly Necessary -
If Faith Is To Take Hold
That My Mind Be Engaged
For Truth To Reach And Breach My Soul!
The Living God Eternal, Said:
Come ... Let Us Reason Together!
The Lord Of Light And Life
Appeals To My Mind
Where, With Him
I Can Come To A Conclusion
And Say
Father,
Thou Art Holy!
Though Art God!
Though Art Divine!
Emotions Are A Runaway Train
When The Intellect Is On Vacation ...!
... And The Intellect Sleeps On In Vain
As The Will Indulges In Spiritous Libation!
A Mind Is A Terrible Thing To Waste!
It's A Shame To Place The Will In Disgrace!
It Is Said That When The Emotions Run Riot
Then
Satan And His Kind
Ride Rough-Shod Over The Man
Making Him Behave Like The Fool
The Directionless Idiot
A Three-legged Two-Footed Stool!
Look At It This Way ...
Jesus Christ Is Building Places In His Father's House
For Us Who Choose To Believe The Living Word!
Should Not We
- The Believing Ones Faithful -
In This The Sojourner's Hour
Then, By God's Grace Build Righteous Characters
That The Lord Christ Will Gladly Receive?! I Agree! The Words Of God - Truth Delivered Truthfully - Are Our Character's Building Blocks! If The Blocks, The Word Is Faulty Appealing Only To Emotions Which Deliver Sensations We Are Going To Be In Serious Trouble If The Lord, In Mercy, Doesn't Help Us! We Are Going To Be "Enjoying" A World Of Hurt! Perish The Thought! Brethren, We Really Need To Expect Better Of Those Delivering The Word Of God Expect To Do Better Ourselves Expect To Live Better By The Grace Of God And Ever Always Desire To Reach The Blessed Land Wherein Is The Holy Son Of God The Son Of Man The Living God Who, Alone Can Save Sinful, Dying, Man! Preach, Brother! Bottom Line ...
We Are Living In Perilous Times And I See No Reason Why We Should Be Saying "Yeah!"And"Amen!" When The Preacher Teacher Speaker Is Merely Delivering Sugar Shots And Not The Strong Meat Of The Power-To-Change-Lives Word To The Firm Believers In The Lord Christ! There Is No Need, No Cause Nor Reason To Reason Over Sugar! Sugar Is Just A Sweet Treat! Sugar Melts! A Sugar Rush Is Attained! No Health Is Gained Just Fat Aka Sin To Be Restrained! A Man's Gotta Chew On The Meat Of The Word! When The Carnal Mind Meets Heavenly Meat It Has The Desire The Meat To Eat But To Eat The Heaven-Sent Meat Carnal Mind Must Thoughtfully, Thoroughly, Chew - And Swallow - If One Will Live The Life In Christ Called New In The World Tomorrow!
Is Your Mind Totally Engaged
When
You Hear The Word Of God!?!
*****
Is The Word You Hear
The Word Of God
Or
The Opinions Of Man?!
Can You Discern The Difference?!
*****
PRAYER:
Heavenly Father,
Please Hear Our Prayer!
Please, We Beseech You
Grant Unto Us
Spiritual Discernment This Day!
Help Us, Lord
To Hear
See
Understand
Accept
And
Live
According To
The Unadulterated Word
So That We, Believing
Loving
Trusting
Hoping
Obeying
Praising
Worshipping
May Depart The Goat Herd To Be Led By The Good Shepherd Who Leads The Sheep To The Safe Fold!
Please Bless Us With Clear Eyesight
True Hindsight
And
Pure Foresight
So That We May Reject
Soul Blight
And
Accepted In The Beloved
May
- In The Day Appointed -
Rise Up To The Land Where
There Is Peace And No Night!
We Love You, Lord!
We Bless Your Holy Name And
We Humbly Ask For These Mercies
In The Name Of Jesus Christ The Only One Righteous!
