HAPPY SABBATH + There Are Consequences To Conduct!

Every Human Has A Path To Travel: 

Blessed Is The Man Who Does Not Walk According To The Counsels

The Directions

The Ways Of The Ungodly! 

Beloved, 

With Free-Will 

And 

Freedom To Choose As Our Walking Stick

We Each Have The Ability 

To Either Walk On Strait Street And Narrow Way 

Or 

On Broad Street And Own Way! 

Decisions, Decisions! 

Man ... By Himself

Is

In The Valley Of Decision! 

Will You Follow The Savior 

Carrying Your Own Cross All The Way To Calvary 

Or 

Will You Choose Achan's I Want It 

Samson's It Pleases My Eye

King Saul's The People Made Me Do It

Ananias And Sapphira's Nobody Will Know

Or 

Judas Iscariot's I Can Manipulate God 

Or I'll Sell The Savior For Silver!?! 

Dear Ones, 

Who Helps You To Buy A Big-Belly Horse 

Won't Help You To Feed It! 

You Can Hide And Buy Land

But 

You Can't Hide And Reap It! 

Wha' Sweeten Goat Mout' Does Bu'n 'e En 'e Tail! 

Bottom Line ... 

There Are Consequences To Conduct!

In The Day Of Trial

Only Those Who Have Chosen The Way To Calvary

The Life In And Of Christ

Shall Receive The "Well Done!" 

And 

The Crown Of Life! 

Please Choose To Learn From The Mistakes Of Others 

So That You Don't Suffer Their Same End! 

Choose To Endure Your Tribulations Now 

And 

You Will Enjoy Your Celebrations Later

In The Presence Of King Jesus

Him For Whom We Are Now Waiting! 

Dare To Make Jesus Christ First And Last

And 

Have Heaven In Your Life Now: 

Walk In The Light! 

Peace! 

HAPPY SABBATH + Unrepentant Sinners!?!

Brethren,

Pay Very Close Attention!

A Sinner Is How You're Born!

A Disobedient Sinner Is Your Preferred 

Dare I Say Chosen, Lifestyle! 

Problem Is, Though

A Disobedient Sinner

Willful By Choice

Is

Nothing More Than A Traveller's Five-Pack Of 
Cheap, Easily Replaceable, Disposable Razor Blades!

You're Useful As Long As You're Usable!

Lose Your Edge

Your Willingness To Disrespect
Doubt, Disobey, Denigrate, Disbelieve 

Disparage, Deny, Defy, Dishonor Your Creator

Savior, Redeemer, Judge, King

Lord, God, Healer, Sealer, Teacher
Provider, Sustainer, Protector

And

You Lose Your Pick ... With Prejudice

And

Unfortunately For You

Your Christ-Bought And Paid For 
Very Expensive To The Father, Life

Becomes A Cherished Prize For The Devil

He Who Started The Carnal Strife! 

A Willful, Disobedient, Sinner Is A Fool! 

His Actions Say That He ... Indeed 
Believes That There Is No God

Or Better Put

No God Almighty Who Has Control Over His Life

Or His Ability To Remain Alive 
By His Own Power And Choosing! 

An Unrepentant Sinner Is An Even Bigger Fool

Because

He Believes The Lies Of The Devil! 

He Purchased The Bulk Pack At The Five And Dime

At The .99 $cents Store

And

He Is Doing His Utmost

To Open And Explore The Enveloped Door! 

To Him ... Sinning Is Not A Chore! 

To Him ... Every Hit Is A Major Score! 

We, Faithful, Obedient, Believers Have The Savior! 

His Name Is Christ Jesus! 

Those Ignoring Him Do Not Make His Less! 

We Have The Adversary! 

His Name Is The Devil, The Dragon, The Serpent, Satan! 

Those Acknowledging Him Do Not Make Him More! 

We Have The Certain Hope! 

It Is Called Free Salvation! 

It Is The Gift Of One Short Lifetime! 

Ignoring, Rejecting, And Refusing It Makes You Less

But

Acknowledging, Accepting, Appreciating ... Utilizing 

And 
Realizing Its Potential

Makes You More And Better Every Day:

Salvation Is The Work Of One's Short Lifetime! 

Humble Yourselves!

Pray Always!

Turn Away From Your Sin
And

The Lord Will Hear From Heaven

And

Being Faithful And Just

He Will Forgive You Of Your Known Sin

And

Will Heal The Land That Is Your Troubled Life! 

But How Can I Be Land When I'm A Human!?! 

Good Question! 

Please Refresh Our Memories While You Answer This Question:

What Did Jesus Christ Use 
To Create Adam On The Sixth Day Of Creation Week!?! 

Oh, That's Easy! 

Jesus Used The Dust Of The Earth! 

And What Do We Popularly Call The Dust Of The Earth!?! 

Dirt! 

And Where, Pray Tell, Is Dirt Found!?! 

On The Ground, On The Land ...! 

... Please Don't Stop Now! 

What, Then, Is Your Life!?! 

My Land! It's My Land

And I Have To Work It Properly

If I Desire To Have A Bountiful Harvest Of Good Fruit

If I Desire To Go To The Father's House With Jesus! 

So, Do You Desire To Go Home To Be With Our Jesus!?! 

You Know That I Want To! 

I'm Just Weak, Is All! 

That's Good! 

Whaaat?!?! 

If You're Weak 
And Humbly Acknowledge It Before The Lord

And Sincerely Ask For Help

Jesus Christ Will Give You Of His Strength

Because 

You Choose To Be One Of His

And

He Takes Good, Loving, Faithful Care

Of All Who Are His Own Children ... By Sacrifice!

What Do You Mean By Sacrifice!?! 

I Mean That You Give Up Your Willfulness! 

Give Up Your Waywardness! 

Give Up Lying, Cheating, Stealing
Fornicating, Adultery, Drugs, Alcohol

All Of Whatever Wrong Habit
Behaviors, Tendencies, Indulgences

That You Cultivate, Practice, Publish And Purvey 

And

Take On Christ's Life Of Obedience To The Will Of The Father! 
Give Up Walking As One Own-Way!

Jesus Christ Says:

If You Love Me, Keep My Commandments! 

He Also Says Do Good And Be Blessed! 

He Also Says Trust Him ... And Obey! 

You Must Walk In The Light That Is Life

And

To Do That

It Means You Must Come Out Of The Shadows

Out Of The Darkness! 

All Of The Lord's People Are Children Of The Light!

Indeed!
They Choose Not To Walk In The Darkness

And

All Of The Things They Do

Are Open And On Display 
Before Almighty God, His Holy Angels And Men! 

We Do Not Fear Reproof Because Our Deeds Are Not Evil! 

Beloved, 

Here's A Thought For Us, All, To Chew Upon:

There Is No Sin In Being Tempted: 
The Sin Comes From Yielding ... Giving In ... To Temptation! 

Our Own Jesus Christ Was Tempted With The Same Temptations 
That All Mankind Must Face And Overcome: 

The Lust Of The Flesh 

The Lust Of The Eye 

And 

Lord Help Us All
That Bug-Bear The Pride Of Life! 

Jesus Christ Overcame Them All With 
"It Is Written...!" 

Knowing And Obediently Using 
The Word Of God ... Our Sharp Sword

Will Lead To Our Acquiring The Crown Of Life 
Which Jesus Purchased For Us At Infinite Expense! 

The Lord Provides Our Way Of Escape
From Our Every Temptation So Remember Three Words:

• Jesus Christ Saves! 
• I'm Not Alone! 
• Resist The Devil! 
• Endure All Things! 
• Acquire The Crown! 

Jesus Christ
Is
The Word Of God: Learn Of And Trust The Word

And 

Thrust Your Sword Into Satan Joyfully! 

Untold Blessings Await Us!

Here's To Wonderful Peace!

 

SALVATION vs. SELF: Kings, Crowns, Kingdoms

Two Kings
Two Scepters
Two Crowns
Two Lights
Two Weights Of Glory
Two Peoples Striving In The Throng!

One Jewel-Encrusted Crown
Bears The Eternal Light
And
The Surpassing Weight Of Glory!

One Crown
Holds Finite Fame And Fortune
And
Prospers The Recipient
Because
Of A Less Than Truthful Story!

One Crown Is Offered
By That Great King!

One Crown Is Offered
By The Old Piercing Serpent
He Who Lives To Blight
And
Venomously Sting!

Most People

Want Desire Need
Fame And Fortune
So That Amongst Carnal Men
They Shall Be The Toast
Ever Willing
To Kill, Deceive
Doubt God
And
Truth Disbelieve
Instead Of
Taking The Good King's Imperishable Crown
After A Short Day Of Personal Denial
And
Physical Suffering!

Sad, So Sad!

So Sad And Yet, So True!

Instant Gratification
Profits ... In The Short Term
The Known-Carnal Crew
Who Will Deny Self To Keep A Pound
Who Will Deny Family To Keep A Penny
And
Who Will Deny The Lord Christ
Because
He Says Deny Self
And
Trust The Lord
And
Be Faithful Faithful
If
One Chooses To Receive
- In The Living God's Time -
The Crown Of Christ's Glory That
Shall Eternally Shine
In The Land Beautiful
Peaceful
Blessed
Sublime!

Would You Give Up Glory
Just To Own A Property With Brass Gates!?!

Would You Give Up Eternal Peace
Just To Imbibe A Gluttonous Feast
That Ends In Relief By A Bathroom Release!?!

Would You Choose To Dwell In Time
Just Because You Cannot
Envisage Eternity
And
Choose To Live In Bondage To Known Sin
Because
You Are Fearful Of Trusting
The Lord Who Demands The Obedience Of Faith
And
Promises Unyielding Love And Provision
And
Truly Blessed Liberty

Without The Truth Or Dare Division!?!

Brethren, Beloved

The Kings Are Jesus Christ The Righteous
And
Satan The Willing Murderer
The Known Father Of Lies!

The Kingdoms Are
Heaven With The Lord Of Life And Light
And
Hell
Where Sin, Self, Satan, Fallen Angels
And
Unrepentant Sinners
Face The Last Mile ... Alone
As They Are Burned With Unquenchable Fire
And
Utterly ... Forever ... Consumed!

If We Will Lift Up Our Eyes
Just A Wee Bit Higher
We Will Not Choose The Path Of Convenience
Which Always Leads
To The Fire And Brimstone Lake
Funeral Pyre!

Self Is A Sinner!
Satan Ain't A Saint!
Jesus Christ Delivers The Repentant Sinner
So That He Won't Suffer
Satan's Just Fate!

All Crowns Are Not Created Equal
And
Not All Kings Care For Their People!

At Last, I Get It!

You Would Do Well To Try And Keep It!

Possessions
Position
And
Pleasures
Are All Tied Up In Self!
Theirs Is A Consenting Relationship
And With Them 
Self Is Acquiring Some Heft!

You Mean He Is Getting Fat!

Well, Yes!
But I Was Being, You Know
Kinda Polite!

Waste O' Time!
He Head Swell Big!
He Pocket Bulging Large!
He Carnal House Obscene!
He Car  ... Hum
And That Thumb That He Always
Pressing Down People With
Is Seriously Enlarged!

Let's Not Forget That 
He Also Has A Real Big Mouth
And A Razor Sharp Tongue
And ...!

... No Fear Of The Living God
None For Man Like Himself
And Definitely None For The Damned Devil!

Alright, Fellas!
We Know All The Downs!
Are There Any Ups To This Disaster!

Sure!
I Could Kill Him
And The Problem Is Solved!

If You Kill Self
Where Does That Leave The Rest Of Us!?!

Brethren,
We Are Not Thinking Straight
Because
We Are Not Looking At The Big Picture!

What On Earth Do You Mean!?!

If You Kill That Sinful Self
And
Do Not Replace It With Something Good
All That You Have Left 
Is
A Shell Of A Man Available ...!

... For Satan To Have One Of His Bully Boys
To Take Over And Inhabit!

In That Case
We Are Better Off With Self!

Not Really!
Satan, Self And Sin Are A Chorus!

Alright, Alright!

Look At This:

S E L F

Spelt Backward
It Is  F L E S!

F or Fullness Of
L ife
E scape
S elf

All That Is Missing Is H!

H For Hope In Christ
H For Help From Christ

H For Healing By Christ

H For Home With Christ
H For The Indwelling Holy Spirit Of God And Christ!

H For Hallelujah!

Jesus Christ Saves From Sin
From Self
And
From Satan!

The Crux Of The Matter ...

We Have A Challenge
That States Clearly That

F or Fullness Of
L ife We Must
E scape
S elf By
H oping In Jesus Christ Who Saves!

In Short, Brethren
It Is Time Rid Self Of Self
And
Seek After Christ's Eternal Life!
We Must Give All, Everything
To The Lord Jesus Christ!

When Jesus Christ Is First
Is All
We Can Never By Self
- Into Sin -
Be Made To Fall!

Heed The Call!
Answer The Holy Spirit's Quiet Call
And
In The Appointed Time
We Shall ... In Triumph
With Jesus Christ 
The King Of The Living Kingdom
Escape The Condemned Blue Ball!

Don't Be Like 

Cain, Nimrod

Esau, Pharoah

Ahab, Jezebel, Athaliah

Judas Iscariot And King Saul!

Uncontrolled Self Will Cause You

Into Satan's Nefarious Plans

Ignominiously To Fall!

It Is Time To Turn To The Lord Christ
And
By His Holy Spirit Guiding Our Lives
Reverse The Fall!

Those Who Hope

In The Lord Jesus Christ

Will Obediently Heed

The Call To Eternal Life!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: SIN + PRAYER: Father, I Am A Sinner!

Sin Is A Feisty Liar!
It Indulges In Grand Deceit!
It Walks As One Friendly
BUT
Is A Veritable Sneak!

Sin Likes The Game 
"What If ... ?!"
It Likes
"Here - Let's Pretend ...!"
It Likes To Indulge Bait And Switch
AND
A Fly
It Will Not Offend!

Sin Likes To Play
Dress UP!!
AND
DRESS DOWN!!
Sin Likes To Makes A Good Show
AND
Whatever It Takes 
To Break You
Sin Is Always Set To Let Go!

Be It
Black And White
Technicolor
Cartoon
Video Short
Full Feature Film
Sin Has A Place For Everybody!
Did I Tell You
That Plain Sin Operates
The Local Welcome In Inn?!

Sin Is The Local Doctor!
Sin Is The Local Priest!
Sin Is A Chameleon
That Offers All And Everybody
Free 
AND
Focused 
Stress-Busting Free Relief!

Sin Paints Itself As A Paragon Of Virtue
Giving To Each Man According To Felt Need
BUT
Indulging In Sin Is
Like Crack Cocaine
Mixed With Grand Prix Speed!

Sin Invites One
For A Little Test Run
Just A Trial
One And Done
BUT
What The One-Time Sinner Does Not Know
Is That Sin Is A Freeloading Pimp
That
- Left Unchecked -
Turns One-Timers
Into Full-time Free-Basting Whores!

Now ...

You May Not Like
That Last Analogy
BUT
I Encourage You
To Look Back At Your Own Life
AND
Magnifying-Glass-Truthful Be!
I Did
AND
Believe Me
It Wasn't Anything Called Pretty!

No One Commits One Sin!
No One Keeps Sinning Small-Time
For
Unchecked By The Soul's Savior
Sin Is An Accelerator
On A Banana Peel
On An Oiled 
AND
Mirror-Polished
Zip Line!

Let No One Fool You!
Man Cannot Control The Will To Sin
For One Taste Of Sin
Releases
The Bull In The China Shop 
Within!

BUT ...

There Is Hope!

Man Has The Creator
The Redeemer
The Savior
The Soul-Lover
The Friend
The Substitute
That Waged War
AND
Won That Fight
By A Plain
"It Is Written ...!"
Aka
"Thus Says The Living God ...!"

The True Friend
Exposes
The Real Enemy!
The True Friend
Conquered
Sin
AND
Death And Hell
Its Progeny
AND
The True Friend
Made A Straight Path
- Narrow -
For Those Who Would From Sin
Sinning
AND
Hell-Bent Hell-bound Sinners
Walk Away
AND
All It Takes
Is A Little Faith In The Provision
AND
A Heartfelt Prayer:

Father In Heaven

From Sin

Take Me Away!

I Am A Sinner

But

I Don't Want To Walk In That Way!

I Believe Your Word Of Promise!

I Believe That You Are True!

Save Me!

I Am Dying In Sin

But

I Want To Walk With You!

Grant Me The Promised Victory

Over Dread Sin

In This Very Moment

Right Now

Today!

Grant Me The Power

In Jesus' Name

To Walk In Faith

No Matter The Matter

The Day

Nor The Hour!

AMEN.

Brethren,
A Dressed-Up Sin Is Still Sinful
Still Ugly!
A Dressed-Up Sinner No Less!
Unconfessed Sin
By The Unrepentant Sinner
IS
The Unforgiven Sin
Of
The Unforgiven Sinner
Which Equates To
The Unblessable Mess!

Call Sin What It Is -
Transgression Of The Law
Of The Holy God
AND
Give It Its Just Reward
By Turning It
AND
Its Purveyor
Over To
The True Living
Able Available
Holy Righteous One Eternal God
Who Has The
"It Is Finished!"
For The Wily Satan
That Unregenerate Fraud!

Sin Is No Joke
So Stop Clowning Around With It!

Jesus Christ Saves One From Sin
Never In Sin
So
Let It Go!

Say To Sin
"No!"
AND
Let Christ 
In You
By You
AND
For You
Really, REALLY, Show
AND

Let Us Bask
- DAILY -
In Heavenly Love's 
Imperishable Glow!

Take Your Place, Satan!

I Believe God!

Do You?!

If You Believe ... Walk!

If You Walk ... Trust!
If You Trust ... Live!

If You Hope ... Reach Up And Reach Out!
If You Love ... Share And Care!
If You Think On Jesus Christ ... Talk About Jesus Christ!
If You Worship God ... Say Your Prayers!
If You Pray ... Plead!
If You Plead ... Believe!

AND
If You Really Believe In God

In Jesus Christ's Name ... Stand Firm In His Faith!

If You Are Standing Firm In The Faith
Keep The Promises Of God
As Your Comfort Every Day!
Take Pleasure In The Comfort
As You Walk Along Life's Way

For
Your Adversary Satan
Will Attempt To Strip You Bare
BUT
Believe And Trust
The Word Of God
AND
Plainly You Can Say:

Get Thee Behind Me Satan!
You Have No Part In Me!
My Master Is The Lord Jesus Christ
AND
Thank God
He Is Carrying Me!

Get Out Of My Way!

My Path Is By Christ Marked!
My Way Is Sure!
Jesus Christ Knocked On My Heart
AND
I Opened For Him
My Door
AND
He Sups With Me
AND
I With Him
AND
Sorry - Not Sorry
My Heart Is No More
Your Welcome Inn
So
Let Your Sorry Back
Reverence The Jesus-Is-Mine Door!

No Credit For You Today
AND
There Is Definitely None Tomorrow
For
I Am Now Walking
Saved And Forgiven
With God Almighty
The Very Highest Power!

Get Away From Me, Satan
You're An Unregenerate Liar!
I Am Going Home With My Jesus
AND
You
You Shall Eat The Banquet
Of Your Own Preparing!
You Shall Eat
God's Holy Fire
So
Take Your Place
AND
From Me - In Jesus' Name
Accept The Rejection
AND
Retire
Liar!

I Am Bound For The Promised Land
AND

You May Put Up A Balaam To Curse Me

BUT

I'm Jesus Christ's To Command!

I Will Know Affliction
- My Jesus Says So -

BUT

With God's Grace
In Jesus Christ I'll Stand

For He Has Covenanted
To Protect Me
Shield Me
Teach Me
Lead Me 
Feed Me

AND
Take Me Safely

To The Glorious Land!

I'm Going Home With My Jesus!

Great's The Day!

I'm Going Home With My Jesus

Come What May!

I Have No Hold On The Temporal!

I've Seized On Eternity!

I'm Going Home With My Jesus

Lord, Haste The Day!

Haste The Day! 

God Is My Shepherd!

I Desire To See Him
Who
For Me
Gave His Life!

I Desire To Live With Him
Who Ended
The Conflict
Between Death And Life!

I Desire To Walk Holy!
I Desire To Sing The Glad Refrain:

Blessing And Glory

AND

Thanksgiving And Honor

Unto The Holy Name!

Lord, I Love You!

I Have Chosen To Walk Your Way!

It's Too Late To Turn Back

AND

I Refuse To Know There's Such A Way!

I Have In My Hand

The Blood-Soaked 

Heaven-Is-Home Ticket

AND

I Am Glad To Confess

I Can't Afford The Turn-Back Fare!

Dear God, You Are My Shepherd

You Lovingly Guide Me Along The Way

AND

Because Of This Treasured Blessing

Satan And His Machinations

I Will Not Fear!

Amen.
