Familiarity With Sin Breeds Contempt For Sin!







It Is A Fact That 
Those Persons Who Live Close To Airports 
Are Not Bothered By The Roar Of Jet Engines 
Once They Have Become Accustomed To The Noise: 
Familiarity Breeds Contempt! 

Being Close To Sin 
Getting Personally Involved With Sin
Causes Us To Consider Sin As No Big Deal
And
We Soon Refuse To See Sin As Being Exceedingly Sinful
And
A Great Snare To Our Purchased Souls! 

Beloved, 

Are You Becoming Comfortable With Sin!?! 

Are You No Longer Bothered By Lil' White Lies
Five-Finger Discounts
Robbery, Murder, Adultery
Covetousness
Dishonoring Your Parents
Being A False-Oath Taker
Indulging Idolatry ... And The Like!?!

Are You So Into "Doing You" 
And 
Living "Your Truth" That You Have Forgotten That 
Every Committed Sin Crucifies Our Lord Christ Afresh!?! 

Wise Up ... 

The Doings Of Bold Sinners May Seem Exciting 
And
Be Looked Upon Favorably By The "In" Crowd 
And
Viewed Jealously By The Wannabe-Cool Crowd: 
Do Not Be Deceived! 

Almighty God 
Is 
Neither Sleeping, Fooled ... Nor Mocked! 

Heads Up ... 

The Great Day Of Small Things
The Day Of Accounts
The Day Of Reckoning 
Is 
Fast Approaching 
And
There Will Be No Discounts For 
"I Didn't Know!" 
"I Didn't Understand!"
Or
"I Thought I Was Exempt!" 

Stop And Think! 
Be Still! 
Look Around You! 
Look Up 
And
Turn Away From The Dead-End Path Of Daring Disobedience
And
Remember That Who Encourages You To Sin
Aka Who Helps You To Buy A Big-Belly Horse 
Will Not Help You Feed It! 

Your Encourager Will Also Be Your Exposer
But
Never, Ever, Your Healer! 

There Is No Profit In Sin! 

Believe It ... 

Jesus Christ Saves: 
Soul Salvation Pays!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Their Daily Play: WhoHowWhen!

WhoHowWhen
AND
WhatWhereWhy
Are Always Arguing
About ... Stuff!
AND
WhoWhen
AND
WhatWhy
Have A Thing Going
Against WhereHow!

Let's Get Something Clear ...

You've Got To Pay Close Attention
When The Arguments Start
For ... As Usual
WhoHowWow
Will Cause
WhereWhySo
To Do A Do
From The Word GetGo!

It Has Always Been That Way
AND
If
IfBut
AND
AndAn Show Up
You May Be Certain That
IfSo
AND
SoWhat
Will Peel The Layers Of The Red Onion Once Green
Clean Away!
That Is How They Earn Their Daily Pay!

One Bright Cold-Sun Thursday Morning
Before Sammas Mill Whistle
Had Had Itself A Good Turn At Blast
ButThat
AND
CertainSure
Were Having A Have-Out
On The Below Side Threshing Floor!

BesideThat
Was Ringside Referee
AND
GimmeMore Was Keeping Score!

The Argument?!

Why Did Jesus Christ Really Come To Earth?

EveryBody Had A Conspiracy Theory
AND
FastFacts Was Valiantly Trying
To Keep Track!

WhyAndHow
Stated That Jesus Came To Save Fallen Man
AND
Teach Him How To Live Right
In The Holy God's Sight!

PeaceAndRest
Stated That Jesus Is Peace
AND
He Came To Reconcile Man
To The Heavenly Father
So That Fallen Man Could Return Home
AND
Have Rest!

Well, I Tell You ...

That Statement
Sorely Surely
Irritated IDoubtThat
AND
WhoHowWow
Started Dancing
Prancing Up In The Stew
Demanding To Know How
IDoubtThat Could Be So Fast
To Let Doubt Wow Him
AND
Make Him Disbelieve Who Christ Is
AND
What He Did
AND
Is Doing
AND
For Whom
AND
Under What Circumstances?!

It ... The Argument, That Is
Did A Slalom From There
Until
ThisIsSo
Stepped In
AND
Laid Down On FastFacts
AND
Effectively
Separated The Brethren
AND
Cleared Up The Confusion!

ThisIsSo Was Justifiably Plain
AND
Clearly Smooooth
As He Called The Score!

ThisIsSo Called Out John3:16
AND
IJohn1:9
AND
Ordered
Isaiah 53:6
To Stand Firmly
In Front Of Them Both!

ThisIsSo Then Said To The Assembly:

The Living Word Holy Is Boss!
This Word Is Not Cut-To-Fit Cloth!
This Word Is A Comfort For Fallen Man
Presently Lost
AND
It Was Purchased At Eternally Great Cost!

He Proceeded Carefully ...

When I Call Your Name
Stand In A Straight Line
AND








AND




Will Make All Things Clear To You!

He Then Spoke The Truth In Righteousness:

Jesus Christ Is The Only One WHO 

Can Save Fallen Man
From WHAT Is Sure Damnation!
WHEN He Came To Earth
He Came To Bless Us
With A Paid In Full Ticket
To Go Back To The Fellowship
Of
The Family Of God 
WHERE Only The Righteous May Reside!

WHY Did He Do It?!

Because Of Pitying Love
AND
Our Accepting His Love
Is HOW We May Claim The Right
To Go To The Forever Home!

DOUBT Is Out!

IF He Had Not Come
You
Me
We
Would Be Forever
Trapped In Sin
Forever Separated
From
The God Of Our Salvation
BUT
He ... In Mercy
Great Love
AND
Free-To-All Grace
Came Down
AND 
He Has Made The Way Clear
For You
- For Us All -
To Return Home To The Father! 
He Needs AN Answer From
You ... Now!
What Now, Will You Say?!


They All Spoke Up
BUT
GimmeMore Had The Best
AND
The Final Say:


JESUS CHRIST SAVES!

Then ...

In One Thrilling Voice
They All Sang:

Do You Know Who ...?





Who is Shepherding the Shepherds of The Sheep?
Who will Cull The False Sheep that Bleat?
Who is Preparing The Reward for The Meek?
Jesus Christ - The Savior that The Faithful Soul Seeks!

Who is Marking The Way that Will Eternally Pay?
Who is Bringing Home The Children who from Him had Strayed?
Who is Faithful and Just to Forgive those who Obey?
Jesus Christ - The Savior, The Lamb in whose Name to Almighty God we Pray!

Who is Holding us, Helping us To Stand
Faithful, Walking Holy toward The Great I AM?
Who Humbled Himself that we may have a Home in The Glorious Land?
Jesus Christ - The Savior, The King, The True Shepherd whose Sheep I, Thankfully, am
And whose Returning is Close at Hand!
