Giving Is Not About Getting!

Do You Do Good Deeds To Get Publicity In The Press 

Or 

Do You Press Yourself To Do Good Deeds Knowing That 

Your Publicity Is In The Hands Of The Lord!?! 

Beloved, 

Giving Is Not About Getting! 

Getting Is So That We May Give! 

Giving To The Least Of The Lord's Dear Ones 

Puts Our Prosperity In The Hands Of Almighty God! 

The Living God Whom We Serve Has Made It Quite Plain That 

Publicity Hounds Will Not Get Gain From Him 

Since They Choose To Be Their Own Herald 

By Refusing To Let Him Be: 

Deceptive Man-Praise Shall Be Their Reward ... Obviously! 

The Hypocrites Of Bible Fame 

Took Pleasure In Giving Alms, Gifts, To The Poor 

And 

Had A Crier Going Before Them 

So That The Populace Would See Them Outdoors: 

Dying-Man Praise Was Their Only Reward! 

Let Us Quietly, Privately, Do Today 

For Whomever We Can 

As And When We Can 

And

Dare To Let The Lord Reward Us Publicly 

As Only He Can ... In The Time Of His Appointing! 

The Lord's Rewards Are Perfect, Precious, Priceless 

And 

Generates For Us Sweet Peace

Even For Those Called The Least!

Give To The Lord

With Your Head

Your Heart

And Please

With Both Hands! 

Peace!

Heavenly Wisdom ... And Wise Men!

The Wisdom Of The Wise

Precludes Righteous Men

From

Abiding Lies!

In Contrast To The Heavenly Wisdom
Earthly Wisdom Invites Envy And Strife
Other Than Pure Thoughts
And 
Manners That Are Less Than Acceptable
And For Sure 
Not Praise-Worthy In The Christian 
Determined 
And 
Striving To Arrive Safely In Beulah Land
The New Jerusalem! 

Striving For The Mastery Of Self
- Striving For The Perfection Of Christian Character -
Is 
What We Should Be Doing Moment By Moment
Day By Day 
And 
We Should Cease From Indulging In Strife-Making 
And 
Being Entangled In The Strife That 
Satan And His Minions
- The Emissaries Of Destruction -
Are Weaving And Placing Around Us
To Cause Us To Fall From Grace
The Grace That Is Sufficient 
For Our Every Need And Care! 

Beloved, 

Many Of Us Are Using "Our Christianity" As A Foil 
And 
Are Saying To All Hearers That We Don't Like War! 

Surprise!!!
We Don't Like War 
But
We Do Love To Start Riots! 
Stop It! 

As A Matter Of Fact ...

There Will Be No Lawless Warmonger 
Or Rioter 
Or Envious
Or Covetous 
Or Dirty-Minded Potty-Mout' Hypocrites 
In The Kingdom Of Light! 

Be Wise, Wise ...

Brethren,

Let's Dare To Be Different! 
Let's Walk On The Straight And Narrow Way 
So That We May Cross The Separating Line 
To See Our King In All His Glory! 

Let's Walk Righteously 
- According To Christ's Christianity - 
So That We Will Be Blessed 
And 
Saved 
And 
Forever Blessed! 

Remember ...

There Is No Law That Will Stand Against 
A Meek And Gentle Spirit! 
Time Is Made For Change! 
Blessings Be Upon You! 
Peace!

Dare To Care!

If We Love God
We Should Be Loving Our Brethren!

If We Love Our Brethren
How Can We Not Love Almighty God
Who Made Us
AND
Gave The Breath Of Life
To Us
Our Brethren
AND
All Others?

We Claim To Walk With God
AND YET
We Haughtily Walk Past
Walk Around
Our Poor Downtrodden
Hungry
Naked Brethren!
This View Cannot Be True!
This Must Be A Mistake
ELSE
Our Claim To Love God
Renders Us
Pharisaical Fakes!

Putting Coals Of Fire
On The "Enemy's" Head
Will Sear His Conscience
If He Is Not Already Dead!
Heaping Coals Of Fire
On Our Own Heads
Over Hearts Grown Cold
Does Not Do Anything For Us
When We Choose To Be
Gold-Plated Hypocrites
Bold!

BUT ...

In The Last Day
All
Will Give A Running Account
Of The Life Spent
AND
The Treasures In One's Personal Account
AND

"But..!"

"Because ...!"

"If ...!"

AND

"I Probably ...!"

Are Not Going To Stop

The Wrath Of God
From Raining Down
On Our Heads
If We're Among
The Unrepentant
AND
The Ungodly
Who Live For
The Pleasure
The Party
AND
Lord Mesmer's Songs!

We Are Blessed
For The Good That We Do
AND
We Are Held Responsible
For The Good
We Could Have Done
AND
Consciously Choose
Not To Do!

If God Gives You
A Box Full Of Biscuits!
Praise God For The Blessed Outpouring
AND
Set A Few Bits Out Of Your Bounty
On The Water
Wherever The Shore You Are Beholding!
Bless A Brother!
Bless A Sister!
AND
Indeed
Bless Yourself!
For
What Good Is A Blessing
Locked In A Box
On The Long-term
Cold Storage 
Save-It-For-Later Shelf?!

Give ... And It Will Come

Back ... To YOU!

Dare To Share!
Dare To Help Another
His Burden To Bear!
Dare To Care
AND
Save A Life
In This Mortal Strife!

God Is Faithful!

He Keeps His Own Accounting

Of Balances Due To Us All

AND

Unlike Earth's Dishonest Pay Masters

God's Promises Are Written In Blood

Not Chalk Powder

Solemnly Masquerading

As Curative Plaster!

**********

God Keeps His Promises!

Trust God

AND

Do Good!
