Moths And Cockroaches




John 3:19-32 KJV - And this is the condemnation, that light is come into  the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds  were evil.


Look In The Mirror!
    Look At Your Self!
        Look At Your Life!
Now I Ask You Quite Plain: 

Who Are You!?!
Who Are You Planning To Be!?!
Is Your Practice
Following The Master's Plan!?!
Are You A Child Of The Day!?!
Who Will You Be
On The Day That Has No Night!?!


When The Lord Christ Shall Come
There Will Only Be Two Types Of Persons On This Planet: 
Condemned Unbelieving Cockroaches 
And
Commended Believing Moths! 

Jesus Christ Is The Light Of Life
The Light Of The World 
And
The Enduring Faithful
The Saints Of God And Christ 
- The Moths Who Love And Gravitate Towards Light -
Will Ascend To His Glorious Side! 

By Contrast
Those Willing Sinners Who, Like Cockroaches, Despise Light
And 
Especially Adore The Darkness 
Because 
The Darkness Covers Up Their Nefarious Deeds
Will Run Away From The Lord To The Rocks And Hills 
Pleading For Shelter 
To Hide Them From His Disclosing-Deeds Light: 
It Ain't Gonna Work! 

Beloved, 

We Must Be Born Again! 
We Must Put Away  All 
Habits
Inclination
Deeds
Desires
Entanglements
And 
Nocturnal Practices 
That Shall Surely Cause The Great King To Say To Us:


"Depart From Me! 
I Never Knew You!" 

Beloved, 

Be Sure Of This One Thing: 
What Is Done In The Darkness Will Come To Light! 

All Hidden Sins Will Be Found Out
So, Please, I Beseech Us All
Stop Rubbing Cockroach Legs In The Darkness 
And
Choose To Flutter A Moth's Wings In The Light Of Jesus Christ 
Who Is Soon Coming For His Faithful Children! 



No Jesus: No Peace!
Know Jesus: Know Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: The Buffet Station

I Visited The Buffet Table
At The Restaurant Called "Life Is A Beach"
Where The Sands Of Time Were Everywhere
And
The Shells Of Fallen Men
Were Being Sun Bleached!

The Ebb And Flow Of Life And Time
Was Evidenced Upon Form And Face
Of All Who Ate At Life Is A Beach
Because
There Was No Other Food Establishment That
Could Beat The Choices Or Atmosphere 
In That Very Popular Place!

When A Business Has No Competition
It Does Exactly What It Wants:
It Can Sell Pig Swill
And
Make You Purchase It
Because
They Convince You That
It Is What You Need
It Is A Must-Have Want
And Because
Some Soul With A Little Claim To Fame
Has Endorsed The Swill For A Sweet ... Check
And
Everybody Who Wants To Be Considered
To Be A Part Of The Inside Crew
Eats And Tells A Friend, A Sister, A Brother 
And Soon
People Who Should Know Better
Are Eating Sweet Bread That Is Burnt And Bitter!

The Prices Are Changed Every Day
And 
Sometimes Even After You've Checked The Price 
And 
Eaten 
And 
Before You've Paid For Your Order! 
Talk About Bold-Faced Cheats!

But ... 

Having Sold The Citizens On
"Seldom Comes A Better!"
And
Having Achieved A Cornered Market
By Bold And Brazen Deceit
Life Is A Beach Restaurant's Proprietor
Shameless Duffy
Front-Man For Baseman B'Old
That Decepti-Conman Of Ages Old
Arrived At His Establishment
To Find That Another Establishment Had Opened 
And 
Was Actively Doing Good Business
Right. Next. Door!

Who!?!
How!?!
When!?!
Why!?!

He Called His Boss
To Find That His Boss
His Intrepid, Fearless, Feisty, Facing, Boss 
Is 
Already In Fear
For The New Enterprise Had Long Been Expected
Even Though The B'Old One Had Long Tried
The Event To Proscribe!

The Handwriting That Has Long Been On The Wall
Is Being Explained Inside 
And On
The New Establishment's Clean And White Walls!

The Menu Is Written In Big, Bold, Letters!
The Ingredients' List Is Plain, Easy To Read!
The Servers Are Stars, Strong, Willing To Serve
Practitioners Of The Defensive Arts
And
Influencers Of No Mean Impact
And
Most Dreadful Of All To Baseman B'Old Of The Heart Cold
Is That 
The Price Of Everything On The Menu
Is, To The Eater, Cost-Free
With Not Even A Transaction Fee!

The New Establishment Is Called
Bread Of Heaven!
The Invitation To Eat Says: 

Come As You Are!
Eat Free
And
Leave Refreshed, Reformed, Renewed
In Original, One-Of-A-Kind Free Robes
From The Line Clean And White
From The Collection A La King
From The House Of Love And Righteousness!
Eat All You Want!
Come For The Food
And
Stay For The Companionship!
The Proprietor 
Is
The Concierge
The Cook
The Chef
The Caterer
The Cleaner
And
He Has The Most Shocking Back-Story!
He Is The Soul-Healer
And
The Against-Damnation Sealer!

I Was Wowed!

I Visited
And
At The Bread Of Life's Buffet Station
I Saw Food In Abundance
But
According To Tradition
And
My Gluttonous Expectation
Limited Choice!
I Wanted To Raise An Indignant Voice
But
I Was Intrigued:

EAT IT ALL BUFFET!
You Eat: He Paid!

  • Faith Not Feeling
  • Blessings
  • Peace, Joy, Rest, Refreshed
  • Hope, Help, Healing
  • Truth, Light, Life
  • Repentance: Contrite Heart
  • Forgiveness
  • Grace, Mercy, Righteousness
  • Home, Holiness, Hallelujah
  • Sing, Prayer And Preach
  • Endurance
  • Accept Salvation
  • Deliverance From Death
  • Joy In The Lord
  • Purchase Of Blood
  • Saved By Grace

Staggered, I Stopped 
And 
The Wheels Of The Bus ... My Brain
Started To Turn!

This Menu Was Different, Different
Tame
With No In Your Face Excitement
No Underhanded Explosions 
No Pepper In Your Eyes
No Salt In Your Wounds 
No Self-Actualization
No Self-Exaltation
No Hidden Sin
No Sorrow
No Shame
No Fake-It Until You Make-It
No Buy-In To Blight 
No Cause Division
No Do What Pleases You 
No Live Fast Die Young
And
No Run About And Run Around
As Is Found On Baseman B'Old's
All You Can Eat Buffet!

Suddenly ...

I Noticed The Quiet!
I Felt The Peace ... The Calm
And Then
Strange To Changing Ears
I Heard The Sound:

Peace Be Upon You!

Glory, Glory!
Hallelujah, Jesus!

My Eyes Flared And My Ears 
And 
Forehead Raised In Shock!

Jesus!?!
Jesus Was Here!?!
Here At Last!?!

I, Uncaring Of My Observers
Raised My Hands And Shouted:

Glory To God Most High!
Lord, I Love You!
Please Draw Near!
I Have Long Had A Need
And For You, My Heart Does Bleed!
Please, Lord, Draw Near
For From You I Must Feed!
Please Take My Sinner's Life
And Take Me Under Your Control!
I Will Follow You, Lord: Please Lead!

Bossman B'Old Had Just Lost Himself Another Client!

KJV Romans 8
1 There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit
 
Clean Before The Lord
And 
Without Shame Or Remorse Before The Law
Is 
The Life Of Those 
Who Chose Christ's Free Salvation And Cleansing
Over Sin And The Sinfulness Of Self! 

Sin ... The Flesh Life
Carries Us Where We Don't Want To Go
But 
Salvation ... The Life Of Christ
Directed By The Holy Spirit Of Truth
Takes Us To The Land Of Hope ... To Glory
Where All Is Rest, Peace, And Everlasting Joy! 

Remember, Remember
Don't Ever Forget ...

Sin Is For A Time 
But 
Salvation Is For Eternity
So Choose Salvation 
And 
Almighty God's Amazing Grace Today! 
Glory Awaits The Enduring Faithful!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: SITUATIONS : Win-Win!

I Heard Them Talking, I Tell You!
They Wanted - And I Quote -

"To Hide A Multitude Of  ... Sins!"

I Was Shocked Out Of My Gourd!
I Was Stunned Beyond All Toleration!
I Was Peeved With Their Philosophy
And
I Was Amazed At Their Temerity!

Tee, hee!

Why Are You Laughing?!

Stop That!
This Is Serious!

Of Course, It Is Serious
But
I Think You Misunderstood!

Really?!

Yes! Really!
Do You Know James?

James Who?!

Gracious Me!
The Book Of James
In The King James Bible?!

Oh, That  ... .

Yes, That!

What About It?!

Let's Take A Look At James Chapter 5  ...

... For What, Pray Tell?!

We Have To Find Out
How To Hide
A Multitude Of Sins, Do We Not?!

Are You Crazy?!
The Bible Would Never Tell You Hide Sins!
It Says, And I Quote 
1 John 1:9:
We AreTo Confess And Repent Of Our Sins!
We Are Not To Hide Sin
Because
Unconfessed Sin Is Sin Unforgiven!

Let's Go There Anyhow!

I Don't Believe You ...!

James 5 Verse
Verse
Verse 19 and Verse 20!

... Converteth The Sinner
Error  ... His Way
Save ... Soul
... Death
Hide ..  Multitude Of Sins!

Lord, Have Mercy!
It's Real!
It Really Says
"Hide!"
But, Why?!
That Seems Just, Just ... WRONG!!

You Misunderstand!
That "Hide" Does Not Mean
Keep Out Of The Knowledge Of God!
It Means To Cause Them
To Be Set Aside
As In
The Sea Of God's Forgetfulness
Because  ...

See The Word Converteth?!

Yes ...!?

Conversion Is Holy Spirit-Doings

AND
It Starts With Hearing
Believing
Doing The Right
Aka Confessing And Repenting Of The Evil
AND
Asking The Lord
To Take Control Of Our Lives

AND
Our Willingness
To Follow Truth

AND
Again, Do Right!

Man Cannot Save The Soul From Death!
That Is Almighty God-Doings!
This Whole Idea Is About
Reaching Out To God
For Salvation
AND
Receiving It!!

Remember,
The Apostle Paul Said:

"I Planted, Apollos Watered
AND GOD
Giveth The Increase!"

In Love, We Show A Person Their Error
Which We Have Accepted In Our Selves Is Error
Against God
AND
He - Believing The Word Of Truth To Be True -
Turns ... Unto Jesus Christ
So That He May Be Saved!

It's Just Like ... Like The Wedding Vows  ...

"... Forsaking All Others ...!"

Forsake Sin: Take Salvation!
Take Salvation: Forsake Sin!
It's All Win-Win!

I Get It!

We Do Our Part - Forsake Sin!
God Does His Part - Forgive Sin!

Yes, But ...!

Oh, Lord!
The Proverbial But!!

All I Was Going To Say Is:

Do Not Indulge 
In The Sin Of Presumption
In Your Forsaking Of Sin
So That You "May Get" Forgiveness!
You Cannot Maliciously (Presumptuously) Sin
Believing That God Will Protect You
From You Folly!

Forsaking Sin Is Just That!

Hello, Sin - GOODBYE!
Do Not Look Back!

We Are Not To Be Irreverent
AND
Tempt God
For, Indeed
That Would Be Gross Folly
AND
Would Place Us Squarely 
In The Devil's Encampment!
Nothing There Can Be Considered Jolly!

Further More
To Persistently Continue Indulging In Sin 
- By Malice -
Will Assuredly Leave One
To Be Branded By The Living God
As A Reprobate
AND

You Will Soon Hear:

"Leave Him To His Idols!"

AND
I Know That You Do Not Want To Go There!

Okay. Okay!
To Forsake Sin
Is To Turn Away
Never Looking Back!
They Are Hidden By God! 
Amen To That!

So  ...

Forsake The Devil!
Look To Jesus Christ The Lord!
Hold His Mighty Hand
AND
Head Faithfully
Unto The Great Reward!

Imagine That ...!
Hide A Multitude Of Sins ...!
Jesus Saves
So
Sin And Satan Have Got To Go!

Amen, My Friend!
Amen!

Do Not Try To Hide Your Sin
Because
It Will Be Found Out!
Give Them All To Jesus
For
His Hiding Means
Never To Be Seen
Ever Again
And
Never Chargeable
To Your Personal Account
Ever Again!
Hide And Abide In ... Jesus!
