Ponzi Scheme!
Pyramid Scam!
Sin Is A Rolling Snowball ... Unhindered
That Will Land All Caught Up In It In Hell!
Do Not In Sin Dwell!
You'd Better Recognize ...
You Have Met Him!
You're Very Likely Him!
Faulty Character, Esq.
"Man" About Town
Pushy, Arrogant
Brash, Bold
Willing Sinner On Good Times Sold
Alienated
From The Household Of The Blessed
Because
He Can't Be Bothered
Known Soul-Damning Sin
To Repent And Confess!
Pride Is Stuck In His Craw!
Self-Serving
Is
A Bone Caught In His Jaw
And
Envy, Lust, Greed, Gainsaying
Doubt, Disbelief
Worldly Entanglements
Are Attached To Him Like
Baby Lambs Attached To Dear Mama's Engorged Teats!
Self-Aggrandizement
Self-Satisfaction
Self-Exaltation
Is
The Goal!
It Wasn't Always That Way!
Once Upon A Time ... Today
Self Was An Occasional Holiday Rental
That Turned Into A Time-Share
That Decided That The Little
The Incremental Bit Was Insufficient:
Self Wanted All-Day Own-Way Always!
Heads-Up, Mate ...
There Was ... Actually Is
One Little Oversight:
Smart Pay
Sure Pay
Pay To Play Is
The Only Way
And
It Gets In The Way Of Being
Perpetually Happy And Gay!
Today For Me!
Tomorrow For You! Indulging Self Is A Sin Cultivating Sorrow
That Decimates Everyone
And
That Includes Me And You, Too!
Doubt Started Doing The Dog!
Gainsaying Started Pontificating!
Pride Started Leaking Pus
And
Leviathan Started Parading His Pride Bus!
Regrets!
We All Have A Few ...
What Shall I Do!
To Whom Shall I Turn!?!
I Can't Afford This Bill!
PRAYER:
Lord,
I Wish This Selfish House
Of Wax-Works Would Burn!
I Need A New Life!
This One Does Not Profit!
The One Who Encouraged My Investment
In His House
Is The Very One
Who, Over Me, Is Now Lording It
Because I Finally See The Guiding Light ... Of Life
And
I Feel My Need Of Mankind's, My, Savior!
I Desire The Fresh Start
The New Man
The Heart Of Flesh
And I Desire, Finally
To Get Home To The Promised Land!
Lord,
Help Me!
Save Me!
You Are My Only Hope
And
In Faith ... At Last
Nothing Wavering
It Is You To And For Your Sure Salvation
That I Willingly From Known-Sin Turn!

That Is When The Sin-Life Will Change
And
Against Your Life And Living
Satan Will Become Deranged!
Depend On It!
Sin
Is
Like Having Salt-Water Taffy, Strongman Toffee
Bubble Yum, Fruit Gushers, Jawbreakers
And
A Trinidad Moruga Scorpion Pepper
Rolled Into One "Treat"
Which ... After A "Nice" Taste - Unless You're A Glutton For Punishment -

Okay, People! Friends ... Brethren, It Is Time To Get Real To Remove Doubt From Your Lunch Pail To Stop Drinking Liarman's Ale And By Almighty God's Free Mercy And Always Sufficient Grace Get Thee Hence From Damning Sin's Jail!
Let's Start From The Position Of Strength:
Almighty God Is Real!
Jesus Christ Is The Only Begotten Son Of God Jesus Christ Is Our Creator Jesus Christ Is Our Savior Jesus Christ Is Our Hope Jesus Christ Is The Truth Jesus Christ Is The Way To Our Father In Heaven Jesus Christ, Alone, Saves!
What Must You Always Do!?!
Believe, Trust, And Call Upon His Name!
The Holy Spirit Is Our Teacher! The Holy Spirit Is Our Comforter!
What Must You Always Do!?!
Trust His Power And Let Him Lead!
The Holy Angels Are Our Protection! The Holy Angels Are Our Good-Influence Agents!
They Excel In Strength!
What Must You Always Do!?!
Trust The Lord's Love And Be Not Afraid!
The Word Of God Is Our Operating Manual For A Blessed Life! The Word Of God Is Our Shield!
What Must You Always Do!?!
Live On And In The Word!
The Prayer Of Faith Is Our Passport To Peace!
What Must You Always Do!?!
Prayer In Faith, Nothing Wavering!
The Breath Of God Makes Us Living Souls! We Do Not Have Immortality! We Are Not Immortal Beings!
We Die And ...!?!
... The Dead Know Nothing!
Satan Is A Finite Being
Satan Is Not Immortal
Satan Is Not All-Knowing
Satan Is Not All-Seeing
Satan Is Not Ever-Present
Satan Hates You Passionately
Satan Desires To Kill You
Satan's Fallen Angels Gleefully Tempt You To Doubt Jesus Christ
Satan Desires Your Damnation
Satan Cannot Force Your Will
Satan Manipulates Nature, And
Satan Tempted Jesus To Commit Suicide So Do Not Doubt That He Will Tempt You, Too!
Jesus Christ Was Tempted Just Like We Are And Will Be
But
You Will Not Be Tempted Beyond What You Can Endure!
With Every Temptation That You Shall Surely Receive
The Lord, Your God ... Mighty To Save
Shall Make A Way For You To Escape!
Accept This Truth ...
Satan Cannot Force You To Break Almighty God's Laws
And
He Cannot Ever Force You To Sin!
Jesus Christ Will Not Make You Obey His Laws
But
He, By The Holy Spirit Of Truth's Leading
And
The Good Influence Of Good Angels
By Your Request
And
Your Yielding To Him
Your Will And Your Freedom To Choose
Will Help You To Willingly Obey
For Love
In Love
With Love!
Pay Close Attention ...
We Have Been Led By The World To Believe That
Life Is A Bed Of Roses
But
We Should All Be Aware That
Rose Bushes Have Thorns
And
Lush Roses Tend To Have Bees Present!
Bees Sting
And
Rose Thorns Are Brutally Sharp
And
The Result Of A Collision Between Your Flesh
And
A Thorn
Is
Exceedingly Painful!
A Bee's Sting, Likewise
Is
Amazingly Painful
And
May The God Of Grace Have Multiplied Mercy Upon You
If You Are Allergic To Bee Venom!
Walking Through Life ... Without The Lord Christ
Is
Like Your Being Unknowingly Allergic To Bee Venom:
Only The Living God - The Creator Of Us All ... The Great Physician -
Can Save You
- A Sinner Needing Salvation -
When You Are Attacked By Satan
By Sin
By Self
Aka Bee Venom!
Accept The Word Of The Lord ...
The Lord, Our King
Cannot, Will Not Ever Lie
So Let Us All Deeply Meditate Upon This Word!
Now, Here's Our Challenge
Our Watch-Word
For The Days Ahead
Until We Meet Again:
KJV Acts 24
14 But this I confess unto thee,
that after the way which they call heresy,
so worship I the God of my fathers,
believing all things which are written
in the law and in the prophets:
15 And have hope toward God,
which they themselves also allow,
that there shall be a resurrection of the dead,
both of the just and unjust.
The Law Of God Says How We Shall Live To God
And
How We Shall Live With Our Brethren!
The Prophets Say Who Shall Come And How
What He Shall Do
And
When He Shall Do It
Where And Why!
We Need To Know Who Is Our God
What He Has Done
Is Doing
And
Will Do For Us
And
For Others!
We Need To Know
Why We Believe What We Believe
And
Be Able To State Clearly
Why We Have Our Hope In Jesus Christ!
Either We Believe All The Word Of God
Or We Believe None Of It At All!
There Is No Middle Road!
Brethren,
Please Stand Up For Our Lord Jesus
If Your Heart's Desire Is To Be Eternally Blessed!
In This Vale Of Tears
This Way Station
On Our Journey To Hill Zion
Jesus Christ Is Our Peace
Our Perfect Peace!
When We Know Jesus
We Know Truth
Experience Love
Live In Light
And
Walk With Hope
And
Be Encouraged
Because
No Roaring, Raging
Deceitful, Desperate, Dastardly Adversary
Can Defeat You In Your Walk
When You Are Wrapped Up In
And
Walking With
And
Abiding In The Truth!
The Siren Of Impending Doom Was Screaming
Asking People To Pray
Saying The Devil Is The Liar
And That The Living God-Healer
Is
Just A Simple Pray Away!
I Have Heard This Siren Ten Thousand Times
And
It Is Only Now That I Truly Understand A Second Truth In The Call
Which Sounds Like The Harbinger Of Sure Doom To Those Who Know Not The Lord
But
To The People Of God, It Says:
Pray For Rain!
Strong Angels Are In The Room!
The Lord Is Listening
For Someone Who Believes
To Pray The Prayer Of Faith
So That Available Blessings May Be Delivered
And
Needed Blessings May Be Received!
Listen ... Hear The Siren!
Say A Prayer
Believing On The Lord Christ ... Nothing Wavering And
Two People ... At The Minimum
Shall Surely Be Blessed!
Self-Willed Sally
And
Own-Way Chase
Were Known To Be Crabby
When In The Presence Of Straight-Laced!
The Problem Was Simple
And
The Reason Profound
Because
Straight-Laced Lived On And Walked Faithfully
On The Narrow Way
And
Worked On The Path Of Verity
And
Shopped At "It Is Written!"
And
Permitted No One
From The Path Of Truth And Righteousness
To Cause Him To Turn Around!
Battle Lines Were Meticulously Drawn
And
Straight-Laced
- Watching, Waiting
And
Working For His Lord -
Deftly Drew Out And Finely Sharpened
His God-Given Sword!
He Never Raised His Voice
And
He Had No Need To Curse
Because
He Wielded The Sword Of Truth!
Listen To Him
Hear Him Cut Unruly-Sin Down
To The Vanquished-Today Size:
Many Are They That Trouble Me! Many Are They That Rise Up Against Me!
Many Are They That Say Of My Soul
There Is No Help For Him In God:
But Thou, Oh, Lord, Art A Shield For Me
My Glory And The Lifter Up Of My Head!
I Waited For The Lord And He Inclined Unto Me
And Heard My Complaint!
Blessed Is The Man
Who Walks Not In The Counsel Of The Ungodly
Nor Standeth In The Way Of Sinners
Nor Sitteth In The Seat Of The Scornful!
The Lord Is My Rock And My Redeemer!
Trust Ye In The Lord Forever
For In The Lord Jehovah Is Everlasting Strength!
They That Wait Upon The Lord Shall Renew
Their Strength, They Shall Mount Up With Wings As Eagles!
They Shall Run And Not Be Wary!
They Shall Walk And Not Faint!
The Naysayers Were Many ...
Whenever Selfish-Selena
Jealous-Judy
Licentious-Lynbrook
Doubting-Dorothy
Impious-Ilene
And
Gainsaying-Gareth
Sought To Gall Him
By Calling Him A Gull For
Believing In The Living Word
By Them Considered A Dead Letter
To A Bunch Of Space Cadets
Straight-Laced Did Not Take Offence!
He Took The Only Action
Sure, Always, To Be Effective:
He Sighed!
He Cried Over The Abominations
And
Dear Lord
He Prayed!
He Prayed For Their Help!
He Prayed For Their Health!
He Prayed Against Their Hard-Headedness
Their Hard Heartedness
And
He Prayed For Their Revival
Their Reformation
And
He Pleaded With The Lord
For Their Conversion To The Cause Of Christ
And
Don't You Know
One Rather Gloomy Day
A Crack Appeared
In The Wall Of Willing Sinners
Known Viciously Arreared Against Him!
Falene-Pharisee
And
Sarcastic-Cyralene - Known Rabid Haters Of Straight-Laced -
Banged, Banged ... Knocked Real Hard - In An Urgent Tattoo -
Upon His Open, Always Open, Front Door!
They Didn't Give Him A Chance To Offer Pleasantries!
They Just Said:
Give Us Water!
Feed Us Bread!
Point Us To The Shepherd
Or Very Soon We Shall Be Dead!
We Offer No Explanation!
Know This: We Need The Living Light!
Satan Has Proved Himself A Gross Liar!
His Way Of Life Is Blight!
Straight-Laced Asked No Questions!
He Simply Uttered:
Thank You, Jesus!
It Was His Heartfelt Prayer
And
He Hugged And Invited His Guests - Expected, Unexpected -
To Sit Down For The Meal!
He Pointed Them To His Simply-Appointed Dining Room
And Fittingly Arrayed Table And Beckoning Chairs!
The Plates Were Plain Truth!
The Knives Were Knowledge!
The Spoons Dug Into Salvation!
The Forks Held Fidelity!
The Cups Were Filled With Confidence In Christ!
The Glasses Told The Surpassing Glory Story
And
In Each Linen Napkin, Clean And White
Were The Words Of Truth And Life
The Aching Soul Sure To Delight!
There Was Grace Before The Meal!
Mercy, The Platter
Did Seasoned Vegetables Various Yield
Showing And Telling That
Mercy Covers All
No Matter The Type
The Stripe!
Mercy ... Is For One And All!
And
There Was A Little Brown Bag
To Hold The Vomitus Of Sin Confessed
A Known Necessity
If
One Willed By The Great King
Truly To Be Blessed!
Repentance Was At The Table!
It Was A Turning-U
Black-Black To Charcoal-Grey
Dirty Beige To Bright White:
It Encourages One Not To Be
The Sin-Slave
And
To The Will Of The Eternal God
Willingly To Cave!
Said Straight:
Jesus Christ IS The Way-Maker!
Jesus Christ IS The Bread-Baker!
Satan Is The Liar, The Faker
And Only You Can Decide
To Be The Narrow-Way Taker!
Turn Away From Self And Sin!
Turn To Jesus Christ And Heaven Win!
Bless The Lord And He Will Bless You
When The Way Of Sin
You Boldly Eschew!
That Hour
That Day
Standing In Faith
On Prayer
Having Hope
Those Two Willingly, Joyfully, Joined
The Heaven-Bound Crew!
Jesus Christ Saves!
He Saved Them
And
He Can
He Will
Save Me And You, Too!
Don't Be Complacent!
Fighting Against Sin
Is
A Moment By Moment
Day By Day Battle
Done In The Strength
In The Faith Of Jesus Christ The Righteous
