Let The Master Teacher Enter In!

People, People!
Let's Keep Our Focus!
All That's Required Comes From Three Little Words!

Everybody Knows The Three Words:

Do-Good Ain't Always-Right!

Love Your Brother!
Share Your Faith!
Live In Peace!
Walk In Truth!
Be The Light!
Love The Lord!
Spread The Gospel!
Should I Continue!?!

No, Thank You!
You Sounded Awfully Bored In Your Delivery!

Oh, I Was!

We Hear The Same Thing Every. Single. Week.
I Could Do With A Change!

Sinclair!
It's Official!
You're My New Favorite!
I've Got The Change You're Looking For
And
The Change We All Desperately Need!

Brethren,
Our Three Little Words
New, Needed And Necessary
Are ... Drum Roll, Please:


Confess!
Repent!
Obey!

You Had To Go There!
You Just Had To Go There!

Why Did You Have To Go There ...?!?

... Because The Lord Gives Us Freely Of 
Grace, Mercy And Love
And
We, Being Faithful Servants
Good Children
And
Attentive Students
Need To Give The Lord Our Gifts Of
Confession, Repentance And Willing Obedience!

A Good Christian With Unconfessed Sin
Is 
As Profitable  ... As Useful
As Bound For Glory As ... As ... A ...!

... As An Unrepentant Sinner!

He Ain't Ever Going To Glory 
With Jesus Christ The Lord!

Oh, Sinclair!
You've Just Proved Why You're My Favorite Today!

Jesus Doesn't Have Favorites!

Jesus Also Doesn't Have Any Sin!
What's Your Point!?!

Just Once! Just Once!

Just Once What!?!

Just Once 

I'd Like To Have The Last Word Against You!

That's Easy!
Say Something Amazing To Shut Me Up!
Blow My Mind ... And Close My Mouth!

Father, You Heard Him!

To Be Serious, Rainey, We Are Not In Competition!
We're Searching For Hidden Treasure!
We're Searching For His Truth
So Let Us Cooperate With His Spirit
And
I'm Sure That We'd All Have A Nugget Of Gold
With The Brethren To Share!



Father,
Please Open The Young Lady's Eyes

And
Bring Your Saving Truth Into Her View
And
Remember Us All, Also
For We're Listening, Lord, To You!
Let The Class Begin!
Let The Master Teacher Enter In!
In Jesus Christ's Holy Name, We Plead!
AMEN!!!


Beloved,

Our Biggest Crime 
Against Our Own Souls
And
Against Our Holy God
Is
Our Indulging In Self-Deception!
Self-Deception Does Not Negate
Our Need For Willing Obedience To The Lord!

Take Heed ...

Have A Look In The Mirror 
And 
See Your Face!
Have A Look In The Word Of God 
And 
See Your Living Condition: 
Your Known Disgrace!

We Receive Information From Both Sources 

About Which We Must Make Actionable Decisions! 
Choose Well!
Choose Wisely!
And
Earmark For Yourself In Heaven A Place!


The Problem Is That 
Neither Of These Disclosing Agents 

Will Do The Necessary Work For Us 
To Clean A Dirty Face
Or Reform ... Change ... A Sinful Life! 

We Are God's Most Intelligent Creatures On Earth 

Who Have Free Will ... Free Choice
Able To Take Knowledge 
And 
By Wisdom From On High
Use Understanding To Gain Profitable Outcomes!

The Bible 
Is 
A Work-Book

Not A Fairy Tale Story Book
So Get Your Pencil 
And 
Get To Doing The Work! 

For Mistakes Made ... For Known Sin
The Contrite Heart's Prayer Of Confession 
And 
Repentance 
Is 
Your Eraser: Use It Liberally! 

AMEN!!!

May I Add Something, Please!?!

Of Course, Rainey!

Brethren,
Just Because We Can Confess And Repent
Of Our Known Sin
Let Us Not Use The Promise Of 
Our Father's Forgiveness
As An Open Pass To Indulge In 
The Sin Of Presumption!
Confession And Repentance Are Not Licenses
To Indulge In Folly!
Obedience Is A Shield!

Rainey,
Thank You, Kindly, For That Final Word!
There Is Nothing More To Add!

Who, Really, Is Going To Heaven?!




How Can You Say You Love Jesus
AND
Rabidly Deny The Truth Of His Holy Word!

How Can You Pray Like A Converted Christian
YET
You Live Like A Leading Member Of
The Damned Goat Herd?!

Ahhm, Uhh, Weellll!?!

Thought So!!

I Give You
That "Yes!"
Jesus Christ Loves Everybody
BUT
I Challenge You
To Deny That
He Has A Special Love For His Children
The Ones Who Wear Their Hearts
Filled With Love For Him On Their Sleeve
Choosing To Live For Him
Work For And With Him
Believe And Implicitly Trust Him
Even Die In His Truth
Rather Than To Falsehood Turn Away!

You Do Know That ...

Unconfessed Sin 
Is 
Sin Unforgiven, Right!?!

Sorta, Kinda, I Think So ...!

You Need To Change Your Diet
If All That You Can Come Up With
Sorta, Kinda, I Think So!

Those Who Turn To Jesus Christ
BELIEVE
That He Has Something That They Need!
They Believe ... Wholeheartedly
That
The Holy Jesus 
Will Wholly
Their Dying Souls Save And Feed!

Jesus Christ Said:

Follow Me To Heaven!


AND

He Also Said:

I And The Father Are One!
I Am The Only Way There!
I Am The Truth! 
I Am The Light Which Gives Life!
In Me Is Life!
I Am Life!


I Offer Grace!
Grace Provides Mercy!
Mercy Shares Faith!
Faith Sings Hope!
Hope Gleans Help!
Help Brings Healing!
Healing Carries Salvation!



Know This Of A Surety ...

Salvation 
Is
For Reformed Sinners!

You Must Willingly
Confess The Sin! 
AND
Repent Of The Sin!
BUT
This Is Only Possible
IfThe Savior's Words You Believe
AND
Answer The Holy Spirit's Call
AND, FURTHERMORE
You Have To Believe 
That The Savior 
Is
Real
That The Preserved And Living Word 
Is
A Transcript Of His Holy Character
AND
That It Offers You A Glimpse Behind The Veil!

The Veil Of Sin Separates Us From God!
The Belief In The Word Of God
Reunites Us By Jesus Christ's Faith
Because The Word 
Is 
Almighty God!

Almighty God 
Is 
Jealous For His Name!
His Character 
Is 
Sacrosanct
AND
Disbelief
Doubt
Faithlessness
ANDDenial
Will ... From Heaven
Unrepentant Sinners Keep Out!

I Guess I Have Work To Do!

Don't Guess!
You Must Know And Act!

Jesus Christ Said It: Believe It!
Let It Be Settled And Sealed In Your Heart!
If
You Love Him
Keep His Commandments
AND
From The Ways Of The Damned One
With Alacrity
Depart!

No Unrepentant Sinner
Will See Jesus Christ In Peace
AND
No Regenerated Saint
Will Be With Unconfessed Sin Replete!

The Fact Of The Matter Is Simple ...

Will You Doubt Jesus
And Query:

"Hath God Said!?!"
Or
Will You Believe
Love Trust
Accept
The. Preserved. Word.
AND
Choose
- By Jesus Christ The Righteous -
To Be
To Heaven
- That Eternal City -
Safely Led!?!

I'm Trying Hard To Believe The Whole Word
And To, To, To, Walk Right!

Try Harder!
Jesus Christ Spilled His Own Innocent Blood
Because He Loves You!

I know! I Know!
Please Don't Make This Any Harder For Me!

I Truly Am Not Trying To Do That
BUT
You Must Surely Know That
Truth And Falsity Cannot
- Will Not -
Combine!

Satan And Our Savior Jesus
Cannot
- Do Not -
Will Not
Share A Party Line!

The Choice IS Personal!
The Choice IS Personally Yours!
What Will Your Decision Be:

Grace And Faith
OR
Self And Sin!
Heaven
OR
Hell!
Commendation
OR
Condemnation!
Truth
OR
Lie!
Believe Satan
AND
Almighty God Defy!
Or
Believe Our Savior
Jesus Christ The Lord
AND
For Eternity
Range The Universe
While Living
AND
Worshipping The Blessed Jesus
In The Sweet By And By!

Will You Follow Fashion
AND
The Traditions Of Agenda-ized Men
OrFollow Jesus Christ
AND
Live In Jesus Christ's Faith
Which Gives Victory Over Sin
AND
The World
Death
Hell 
AND
The Grave!?!

Will You Permit Truth, God's Truth
To Speak!?!

Faith Cures Sin-Blindness
So That You Can See
To Follow After Jesus Christ!




Thank You For Speaking Up!
I Really Have Been Blind!

All I Am Asking
Is That You Stop Toeing The Party Line
Buying Into Easy Salvation
No Change Of Heart Or Actions Required!

I Really Appreciate Your Doing This For Me!

Not A Problem!
This Is What True Friends Are For!
