VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Willful Blindness!?!

Personal Character
And
Living Conduct
- With Nothing Wavering -
Called Profession Of Religion
A. Bold-Faced. Liar.
Politely, Of Course!

He Has Not Kept The Fear Of The Lord Before Him!

Every Body That Was Any Body
That Possessed A Modicum Of Decency
And
Held Aloft Plain Truth
Knew
That The Only Thing That Profession Of Religion Could Prove Was That
He Knew The Inside Of The Church Building
And
Not Very Much Else!

Profession Of Religion Is All Into Forms
Into Fashion
Into Trending Beliefs
Into Profit-Making And Percentages
Into Prestige
And
Into The Cults Of Personality!

Profession Of Religion's High Priest
Is ... Most Assuredly NotJesus Christ The Lord
And
He Has No Use For The Vine
Roots
Branches
The Vine Dressers
NorHush Yuh Mout'
The Husbandman!

For All Practical Aka Profitable Purposes
The Love Of Jesus Christ Does Not Sustain Him!

Profession Of Religion
Is
A SPRP Aka A Spiritual Public Relations Professional ...! 

... And He Real Good 'Bout Spiritedly 
Letting The Publics Know Who Ha'ing Relations!

That That Person's Conduct Is Specious
Is About The Best Only Tribute I Can Pay!

He Has No Back Bone
No Intestinal Fortitude
And
No Gumption
But Always Has A Whole Lotta Gas!

That, That, That .. Person Is All Fronts And Nuh Backs!
Nuff Pretty Talk And Bare Projections.... !

... Salt With No Savor!

Anticipation With No Results!

A Pharisee Who Loves To Decry The Publican
Who Acknowledges His Personal Need Of 
Almighty God's Free-To-All Salvation!

In Short ... 

Profession Of Religion Is Properly Identified As
A Professional Movie-Prop Christian!
He Looks Good In The Scene
But
He Has No Words In The Script
And, YetHe Is Most Often The Spokesperson
The Brand Ambassador
The Point Person
The Rain Maker
And
The Person In The Know Of The Faith Of Jesus Christ!

Sooo, Ask Him What Is His Favorite Bible Text!

Ask Him What The Lord Has Done In His Life!

Ask Him How He Is Blessing The Kingdom Of God!

There No Need To Ask Him Anything!
If You Kick His Paling It Is Going To Fall
And
His Wide-Spreading Breadfruit Tree Has Got Blight
And
The Base Has In A Host Of Those Not Contented With A Lil' Bit
Gi'e We De Whole Enchilada Termites!

Waaaaait!
You Smell Smoke!?!

I Sure Enough Do!

The August Personage Of The Hour Just Came Into View!

Quick! Before He Gets Here!

Doer Of The Word!?!

Yes, Hearer Of The Will!?!

Please Help Me To Be All In Jesus Christ! Marry Me
And Let Us Become One In The Lord!

What Joy That Will Be!

A Thousand Times "YES!"

In The Next Minute ... 

Hello, Profession Of Religion!

Grunt! Grunt!

How Are You Doing This Blessed Day!?!

Grunt! Miserable! Grunt! Hot! Groan! Grunt!

Does He Ever Speak A Whole Answer!?!

He Sure Does ... When He Has Important People To Impress!

Translation: You Don't Measure Up!

Why, Thank You!

Suddenly ... 

The King Is Coming!

Are You Washed And Ready!?!

Coming!?! Coming!?!

Coming Where!?!

He's Coming Here!

Here!?! Here!?! 

Why Was I Not Notified!?!

Everybody Was Notified

Including Straker Who Up And Dead

Sunday-Gone Week!

Something Is Very Wrong Here! 

I'm In Charge Of Church Publicity

So, How Come I Don't Know That About Which You Speak ...! 

... Maybe If Through The Good Book

You Would Let Your Fingers Be As Feet

And

Instead Of Indulging Slander

You Would At Jesus Christ

Have Had A Gander! 

You Would Not Now Be Wondering Why

But, Instead

Would Be Looking Toward The Eastern Sky! 

I Don't Have Time To Indulge Book-Look!

I Don't Have Time The Sky To Look Up!

I'm Busy! Real Busy!

I've Got Great Places To See

And People Very Important To Go To And Know

So Indulging In Things Insignificant

Unimportant

Unedifying

Bank Book Balance Not Multiplying

Is Not How I Choose To Spend My Time Spying! 

You Hear! You Hear! 

It's Just As We Feared! 

The King Is Coming Even As We Speak

And

Only Those Who Are Attired With The Garments 
He Has Generously Provided

Will Enter The Banqueting Arena

His Face To See 
And 
At His Feet In Heartfelt Worship To Fall!

Profession Of Religion, I Beseech You!

Please Heed The True Gospel Call!

I Cannot Now Indulge You! 

In A Rush! 

I Must From You Urgently Depart! 

I Don't Understand This Mindset At All!

How Is It Possible To Be A Believer

But Not A Receiver Of The Good Gifts Given 

By The Eternal Faithful God Of All Grace!?!

Brethren, Beware! 

This Mindset Is Only Possible

When Belief In The Lord Christ

Is

An Expedient!

A "Useful Idiot" If You Will

That Serves The Selfish Purpose Of The One

Who Desires The Cure

But

Won't Take The Pill! 

Wow! 

I Like That Analogy!

Blessings Without Confession And Repentance! 

Health And Cure Without Forsaking Sin! 

Treasure In Heaven Without Denying Self, Sin And Satan! 

A Seat At The Banqueting Table

Without A Personal Knowledge

And

The Intimate Walk With Our Only Savior, Lord And Holy God! 

Brethren,

Please Listen To Me!

Profession Of Faith Is Not Possession Of Faith!

Being Religious Does Not Make You A Christian Saved! 

All Light Is Not Illuminating!

All Help Does Not Provide Hope!

And

Not All Who Cry Out "Lord! Lord!" 

Shall Enter The Kingdom Of God!

In Short ... 

Work Out Your Own Soul's Salvation 
With Holy Fear And Trembling

And

Leave Willful Sin Alone: It Has Its Own Reward! 

HAPPY SABBATH + Another Gospel!?!

Brother, I Feel Very Sorry For You
Because 
You Have Got Your Theology Quite Wrong!

What On Earth Do You Mean!?!
I Know My Bible Intimately!

Is That So!?!

Yes, It Is!
I Am A Paid-Up Sanctified
Trusting-The-Lord-Christ-For-Salvation Christian
And I Know That I Will Walk This Cruel World
Free, Free, Free Of Stress!
I Am Too Blessed To Be Stressed!
Sorrow, Want, Problems, Trials And Tests
Are Not For Somebody Like Me!

My Word!
You Are Really Walking Under A Gross Delusion!

Is That So!?!

Yes, It Is!
Jesus Christ, Himself, Said:

Sooo ...!?!

Don't You Understand What The Lord Meant
When He Said:

In The World Ye Shall Have Tribulations!?!

I Sure Enough Do!
He Said: "In The World!"
I Walk And Live In The Lord
So That Does Not Apply To Me!

Merciful Powers!

No Disrespect Intended
But
Are You Insane!?!

How, Then, Do You Account For:

That Statement Was For That Time!
It Does Not Apply To The Age In Which We Live!

Dear Lord And Father Of Mankind
Please, I Beseech You
Forgive Us Of Our Very Foolish
And
Highminded Ways!
Where Are You Getting This Illogic From, Pray Tell!?!

I Study With Pastor The Honorable Brudda Fuzzy!
The Insights That He Offers Are Absolutely Amazing
And I Have Never Been More Excited By The Bible 
Than Since I Started Studying With Him!

Itching Ears ...!

... And Smooth Things!

What Did Youse Say!?!

We Said That You Have Itching Ears
And
Your Pastor The Honorable Brudda Fuzzy
Is Teaching You Smooth Things!

Do You Really Believe That
When Jesus Christ Said:

That He Meant That Your Life Was Going To Be
Free And Easy
All Peaches And Cream
And Cream Puff Pastry!?!

When Jesus Christ Bore His Cross
It Was Burdensome, Cruel, Punishing
And
The Christ-Follower
Living The Christian's Life 
Will Not
Cannot Live Right 
And 
Be Without Trials And Tribulations
And, Furthermore
If That Christian's Life Is Free Of Trials And Tribulations
It Is Because That Person 
Is 
A Compromised Christian!

Watch Your Mouth, Brother!
I Am Not A Compromised Christian!
I Love The Lord And ...!

...  You Are Following Another Jesus
And
Believing Another Gospel!

Bite Your Tongue!

Brethren, 

That Other Gospel Being Taught

And

That Other Jesus Being Preached

Are Bold Tricks Of The Adversary, Satan, Himself

To Encourage What Amounts To Apostasy

And

Lying Against The Holy Spirit!

We Cannot As Christians

Cast Truth Down In The Street

So That We Can Live According To Self

Always Learning

And 
Never Coming To The Conclusion Of The Whole Matter!! 

We Cannot Be Friends, Brethren And Followers Of The Lord Christ

Saying We Walk Under The Righteous Banner Of The Almighty God

And

Honestly Believe That We Will Have The Easy Life!

Jesus Christ Suffered On This Planet

And

All Who Choose To Live For And Be As He Is

Will Suffer Persecution 

Deprivation 

Cruel Mocking

Trial And Tribulations 

And
For Some The Loss Of Freedom

And

For Some Others
Even Loss Of Life!

Remember, 

The Word Of God Says
- Via The Apostle James -

He Who Is Friends With The World

Is

The Enemy Of God! 

You Are A Liar! 

Jesus Is The Word Of God
And Jesus Never Said That! 

You're Saying That Because You Are Envious

Because I Live A Life Of Privilege

And Obvious Ease! 

You Should Be Ashamed Of Yourself! 

Are You Quite Finished!?! 

Yes, I Am!

Good!

Now Sit Yourself Down

Keep Your Mouth Closed For A Few Minutes

And

Listen Carefully:

Truth
Is 
Always Hard To Swallow

When You've Accustomed  Yourself To Swallowing Lies

And

Exercising Faith 
Is 
An Ill-fitting Pair Of Shoes To Walk In

When Doubt Is All For Which Your Heart Cries!

Never, Even For A Moment, Allow Yourself 
To Become Familiar With The Counterfeit

To Learn What The True Is Like

For

You Will Go Astray

And

You Will Meet The Devil In The Way

And

It Is Assured
At The End Of It All That 
For Your Own Sin

You Will Dearly Have To Pay!

The Law Of The Lord

Is

The Truth

A Belt
A Shield
A Sure Foundation

And

A Sword

Perfect For All Battles

When You Walk Faithfully With The Lord! 

Absent Truth
You Are A Target

Free Food And Obvious Prey

For He Who Steals

And

Destroys

And

You Who Desire A Life Of Supposed Ease

In This Vale Of Tears

Are Giving Lying Murdering Satan

Much ... About Which To Cheer!

Lust Of The Flesh

Lust Of The Eye

And

The Pride Of This Life

Make A Large And Useless Anchor

For Your Small Ship Called Life
Which Is Into The Enemy Port

Blindly Sailing Along!

As It Stands Right Now
You Are Operating With Your Moral Compass Broken!
On Your Own

- Once Lowered - 

Your Anchor You Cannot Weigh

And

If You Have Ignored Truth's Constant Warnings

You're Going To Have A Waking Nightmare
And
You Will Soon Be Crying Out In Fear!

I Beseech You, Brethren
Study Plain Truth To Recognize Color-Shaded Lie

And

You Shall Then Be Able

The Father Of Lies

With A "Thus Saith The Lord ...!"

Energetically

To Deny!
To Defy!

I Leave You With This Caution ...

Champagne Wishes And Caviar Dreams

Are Not The Things

After Which The Christian Should Seek!

Our Short Time Here On Earth
Is
A Time Of Refinement

A School In Which The Ways Of The Living God Are Taught

A Place Where Self Is Conquered

The Realm Where The Battle Called

Working Out Our Own Soul's Salvation

With Holy Fear And Trembling

Is

Daily
Moment By Moment

- With Jesus Christ At The Wheel -

With Real Conviction Fought!

Stop Listening To The Liar
And
Start Listening Closely
To The Lord Jesus Our Holy God
Via The Holy Spirit Of Truth

And

By So Doing
Give Short Shrift To Old Satan

The Known And Consummate Wily Fraud! 

I'm Sorry!
Please Accept My Apology!

Apology Accepted!

Thank You!
I Can't Do It Now
But Can We Talk About The Real Bible Truths Again, Soon!?!

Anytime You Wish, Brother!
Anytime!
