Deny The Liar!

Consistent, Persistent
Resistant And That's A Shame
Were Having A Conversation About Faith
With Bertie Profane!

First Things First ...

Bertie Profane
Was Like The Vain Over-Reaching Mrs. Bucket
Who Pronounced Her Name As
Mrs. Bouquet! 

Bertie Profane Professionally Pronounced His Name As

Bertram "Bertie" Profanay!

By Way Of "Occupation"

He Was Satan's Henchman Dockie Drew's Man O' Business
His Fixer
His Friend

And
He Was Full Of Himself
And
He Showed It To Everybody That Was Anybody!

He Did Not Need A Cue!

Today Was A Big Day ...

As Already Explained

He Was Having A Having-Out With The Do-Gooders
Consistent, Persistent
Resistant
And
That's A Shame
And
He Was Being True To His True Name
And
Acting Truly Profane!

He Refused To Agree To Anything They Said

Even If It Was Plainly Shown Him In The Good Book!

Things Went On Like This For A Bit

Until The Conversation Turned To The Adversary

And 

On The Issue Of "Associating" With That Devil Aka Satan

Consistent Consistently

- In Jesus Christ's Holy Name -

Did Satan's Self-Willed Ways Deny!
Persistent Persisted In Saying: 

"Deny The Liar! 

Let The Lord's Name Be Glorified!" 

And

No Shock

Resistant Showed God-Fearing Resistance

By The Holy Spirit's Assistance!

And, Who Do We Have Next ...

Bertie Profane

- Never A Believer In Anything That

He Could Not Physically See, Taste, Feel

Touch, Hear Or Roll Over -

True To His Name 

Boldly Asked:

Who Do You Think You're Fooling With That Crap!?! 

To Which That's A Shame Was Heard Saying:

That's A Shame That You Believe The Devil 

When You Know Of A Surety That He Always Lies!

Hear That Profane Bertie Speak:

Truth! Lies!
Lies! Truth!
Six Ah One And Half Dozen O' The Other!
Turn Off The Light
Yuh Cahn Tell One From The Other!

In Perfect Unison ...

Consistent, Persistent

Resistant And That's A Shame

Answered Him Quite Plainly:

May The Lord Have Mercy On Your Soul!
What A Bill Of Goods
The Devil To You Has Sold!
Try To Think For Yourself!
Turn Away From The Devil Cold
And
Repair Unto Christ Jesus ... Right Now
And
He Will Receive You!
Be Bold!

The Devil Is A Liar And A Murderer, Too!

He Has No Love For Man

And

That Includes You!

Easy Road Is Never Easy

And 

The Piece Of Cake Isn't Always Sweet

So Stop Trying To Be A Hard Case

And

Before The Lord

Bend Your Knees!

Well, All I Will At This Point Is This:

All Who Choose The Liar's Ways

Will

The Arch-Liar's Share, Share!

Bertie Profane Walked Away Cursing

The Do-Gooders

Their God

And

Their Good Book

And

Well Satisfied With His Day's Work

Not Caring That

He Was Grieving The Holy Spirit Away!

He Has Built His Life On Indulging

The Sin Of Presumption

And

He Thinks It Is Funny

The Lord Of Glory To Dare!

Brethren,

The Holy Spirit Calls

As Long As There Is Someone Who Will Answer

And

While The Cup Of Iniquity Is Not Yet Full

So Be Very, Very, Careful That

You Do Not Go The Way Of Satan

Putting Yourself 

Outside 

Of The Possibility Of 

Repentance!

Please Understand ...

There Is Nothing Worse Than

Calling For Mercy When The Door Of Grace

Is

Closed!

We Shall Worship The King

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!
