There Is No Hiding Place Down Here!












"The Benefits Of Breaking The Law 
Are Greater Than The Cost Of Breaking The Law!" 

This "Ideal" Could Only Have Come From 
The Black Heart Of Satan The Damned! 

Beloved, 

You Of The Band Of The Blessed And The Brave
Know That There Is No Benefit To Wrong-Doing
No Profit In Sin
And 
No Happily Ever After For Framing Up The Backside 
In Opposition To The Holy God! 

All Of Us Are Called To Be Holy 
Even As Our Father In Heaven Is Holy! 

We, As Committed To Christ Christians
Are Not To Allow Ourselves To Be Charmed 
By The Means, The Methods, Or The Madness Of The Worldly-Wise 
Who Would Convince Themselves That 
"Do What Thou Wilt Is The Whole Of The Law!" 
a La Satan! 

Satan Has Nothing To Lose 
By Encouraging Us To Break The Law 
For So-Called Aka Perceived Gain! 

We, Christ-Followers, Have Everything To Lose 
By Accepting This Presumption By Assumption! 

Dear Ones, 

The "Thus Saith The Lord!" 
Is 
Our Safe-Guard
Our Yard-Stick
Our Walking-Stick
Our Pointy Stick
And 
Our Sticking-Point 
When Dared, Encouraged, Or Enticed 
To Belly-Up To Some Psychedelic Hog-Trough 
Supposedly Filled With Gotta Have It 
And 
Can't Live Without It "Goodies" From 
The False God And His Minions On This Earth! 

Please Let Us Today Choose To Choose Nourishing Food 
And 
Not Imbibe Well-Dressed Poison! 

Law-Breaking Always Costs 
And 
Law-Breakers Always Pay Physically
Financially, Emotionally, And Spiritually! 
Never Doubt It! 

Be Wise And Not Lawless 
Because 
There Is No Hiding From The Living Holy God 
Who Always Sees Us! 

Peace!

The Answer To All Our Questionings!




How Wise Are You!?! 
How Foolish Can You Get!?! 

How Calm Are You!?! 
How Angry Can You Get!?! 

Are You A Serpent!?! 
Will You Be A Dove!?! 
Are You Listening To The Holy Spirit!?! 
Will You Ascend To The Courts Above!?! 
Are You, By Faith, With Hope
Yielding To The King Of Love!?! 

Beloved, 

There's An Old Song With A Lyric Which Says: 
"There Are More Questions Than Answers!" 

I Beg To Differ Because I Met A Man
The God-Man
The Man Of Sorrows Well Acquainted With Grief
The Shepherd Of Rest
The Only Way To Life Everlasting
The Light Of The World
The Savior Of Every Man
Water Indeed
Bread Indeed
Immanuel - God With Us
Shiloh - The Prince Of Peace
The Truth! 

Are You A Peace-Maker 
Or A Strife-Maker!?! 

Are You A War-Monger Against Sin 
Or Warring Against The Truth!? 

Dear Ones, 

Anyone With Questions, Honest Questions
Who Does Not Despise The Truth 
Aka King Jesus With The Non-Detachable Handle 
"The Lord Of Earth And Glory
The Creator
Our Only Savior
Our Redeemer And One True Friend
The Law-Giver And Life-Sustainer Who Bids Us To Come To Him 
So That We Many Reason Together
The True And Only Holy God 
By Whom We Live And Breathe And Have Our Being
The One Who Liberally Gives Wisdom 
And Will Not Chastise Us Who Lack Wisdom 
For Asking For Wisdom
Is
The Answer To All Our Questioning! 

Beloved, 

Believe The Gospel
And 
Be Very Courageous In The Face Of Opposition 
And
Do Not Despise The Truth For He, Jesus Christ 
Aka It,  The Road-Map
Is
The Only Way To Live
The Only Way To Everlasting Life! 

Despise The Truth ... Which Is Good
At Your Own Peril! 

Peace!

Almighty God Winked ... When We Were Ignorant!






Is Your Christianity Just A Cloak 
Or Is It Functional ... Functioning
And
You Are A Functionary
A Doer Of The Will Of God
And
Not Just A Indifferent Hearer Of The Word!?! 

How Far Are You Willing To Go To Get Your Own Way!?! 

Are You Willing To Sin To Have That 
Self-Deceived Sense Of Personal Satisfaction 
No. Matter. What!?! 

Beloved, 

Be Very, Very, Careful! 
Tread Softly In The Presence Of Almighty God! 

As Jesus Christ's Followers 
And 
Personally Appointed 
And 
Commissioned And Equipped Ambassadors 
Who Are Required To Live To The Higher Standard 
And
Speak The Truth In Righteousness
And
Walk Blameless Before Our Lord And King
- The Judge Of All Flesh - 
We Cannot Speak Of Salvation From 
And 
Victory Over Sin 
And Then
Live Lavishly For Your Known Sinful Self
And
Willingly, Boldly, Brazenly Commit Known Sin! 

When We Knew Not The Lord Of Life
The King Of Glory
He Winked At Our Ignorance! 
We Were Given A Free Pass 
Because 
We Didn't Know Better! 

But ... 

Because We Have Been Made Aware Of The Truth
Aware Of What Is Good And Right 
Because
We Have Either Opened The Good Book For Ourselves 
And
Have Seen Or Been Shown The Truth 
Or Have Been Made Aware Through Our Ears 
By A Talk From Parent, Teacher, Pastor
Priest, Friend Or Well-Wisher
We Are Now Responsible For Our Behavior 
And
Guilty Before Almighty God 
When We Deliberately Sin 
By Walking Contrary To The Light Received
The Truth Obvious! 

Brethren, Beloved

Jesus Christ Personally Died 
For The Specific Sins That 
You Personally Committed 
In Your Very Own Flesh! 

Please, I Beseech Us All
Don't Scorn The Unspeakable Gift 
By Indulging In Planned Wickedness: 
You Will Personally Pay For Your Own Sins If You Do! 

Dare To And Do Good!

 
Do Not Harden Your Heart
And
Become A Reprobate!

Sister Brother
Beloved Friend, Mine
Take This To Heart
AND
Do Not After The World's Follies Repine
For
The Day Is Coming
AND
Is Already Here
When Ownership Of This And That

Help Us Not To Commit Sins Of Commission
And
Please Help
Not To Commit The Sins Of Omission
Where We Neglect
To Do The Thing Just
Good And Right
Forgetting Our Fellowman
And
Ignoring The Fallen Brethren's Plight!

Help Us To Be Like Our Master Christ Jesus
Who Clearly Marked For Us A Way
And
Help Us To Walk Right In It
So That We Don't
For Our Sins
Have To Pay!

Teach Us Your Way, Lord
And
Help Us To Live Faithfully In It
Ignoring The Calls Of The Flesh
So That We Don't Give In To It!

Bless Us WIth Your Joy
Your Peace
Your Rest
And
Let Hope Spring Eternal In Our Hearts
Until The Great Day Of Rejoicing Comes
And
We For Highest Heaven
Joyfully Depart!
In Jesus Christ's Holy Name
We Pray And Humbly Plead!
We Love You, Lord!
Have Mercy And Bless!
AMEN.

No Compromise Christianity + PRAYER: Have Mercy On Us Who Pray






Compromise
In A Christian
Is A Filthy Word
For
Serving The Lord In His Sanctuary
Demands
A Constant Committed Soldier
Striving - Out Of Love Of Jesus Christ -
For Christ's - Not Man's -
Reward!

Waffling Is For Politicians!
Walking Rigidly
Non-Compromising Of Truth
Is For Workers For The Lord
AND
Christians Who Preach To Please Others
Are Not With The Lord
Walking In Accord!

A Dog Who Brings A Bone
Carries From That House Another
And A Bone Carrier
Gets Shot
By Whomever He Leaves In A Lather!

Walk Straight!
Talk Right!
Live In The Light
AND
God Will Give Us Might
To Be Resolute In Our Convictions
For Truth Never Waivers
No Matter The Measure
Applied To The Sole
Of The Righteous Soul
Who Stands Constant In Any Weather!

If God Be God
Worship God!
If Baal Be god
Worship Baal!
For Baal-god And god-Baal
Are Abominations
AND
To Stoop To Such Compromise
Leads To
Soul Degradation
AND
Lost Salvation!


Beauty Does Not Signify Purity
And
Purity Is Not A Dull Bore
For
Getting Through
Heaven's Gates
Requires
Purity
As A Store
Of
The Heart!



PRAYER:

Heavenly Father,
Have Mercy On Us Who Care!
Have Mercy On Us Who Pray!
Have Mercy On Us
Who Look To The Day
When You Shall Come
To Take
Your Believing Children
To
The Home Of The Blessed
Far Far Away!
We Love You, Lord
So Maintain Us
As We Walk Right In Jesus' Faith
Until The End
Is Our Plea, Lord
AMEN

What Price Sin?





We Commit Sin
AND
We Blame God
For Having Too Many Rules!

We Commit Sim
Because It Tastes Good
AND
Then We Blame God When We Get Cavities!

We Commit Sin
Enjoying The Sleigh Ride
AND
Then Blame God
When Sleigh-Here
And Sleigh-There Collide
AND
We Can No More Enjoy The Free Ride!

We Commit Sin
AND
When He Who Would Abide
Confronts Us
We Become Snide
AND 
Puffed Up With Pride
AND
Walk Away Hurt
Looking For A Rock Under Which We May Hide!

We Commit Sin
BUT
Sin Does Not Pay!
Sin's Costs
Are Wide And Deep
And Even Though There Has Been Repentance
Leave Scars
AND 
Consequences  ... steep!



Committing Sin Does Not Pay!
Pray For Deliverance!
Pray!
Pray!
PRAY!

AND

He That Is Called Comforter 
Will With You
Stay!

Pray For Your Comfort ...

TODAY!

Rejecting Joy For A Toy + Prayer: Father, Forgive Me!






I did not Commit a Sin That Day!
I did something Worse!
I committed a Self, My Friend
Which proved to be much like The Curse!

I did not break any Laws of God
I did not Lie
I did not Cheat
I did not Steal
But what I did that day Revealed
A side of Me I Openly Concealed!

I found out that I Reverence The Living God
Upon My Currently Available Terms!
I allowed That Sotto Voce
To Dictate when how I would Enter in
Sweet Communion with My King.

Well,  you may ask
Why The Big Deal?
Is not God always there?
Oh, yes,  He is!
But that's not The Point!
I have set aside His Special Time
Where I rest in Him
And we Commune - Love and Talk!

Let me try to Explain Better Using a computer game as Analogy:

I had a scheduled appointment with Jesus
My heart and my head were prepared
We got together as determined
No bells, no whistles
No fanfare.

During our normally scheduled appointment
Worldly pursuits and considerations were put away
This Time Is for Recharging The Soul's Batteries
So that Life would not drown me in The Rolling Waves!

In the Midst of our  Appointment
A Bright Button interrupted The Blessed Flow
I Interrupted Pray and Praise with My Jesus
To check how many of My Electronic-Game-Lives 
Time had graciously Restored!

As if that were not Sufficiently Egregious
Checking The Game
Turned into Full Game Play
And even though I could hear The Holy Spirit calling
I Permitted Self's Sotto Voce
To Decide Whom I Diligently Worshiped and
At whose Altar I Fervently Prayed!

I take it back!
What I said earlier
About not having Committed any Sin
Nor broken any Laws!
The First Commandment I did break
Choosing The Game-God
Loving The Fake!

Problem is when Electronic-God took my Electronic-Lives
I Returned to Jesus Christ with Burning Eyes
And He Accepted Me
As I proffered banalities and
Uttered platitudes as if Jesus Christ did not have
All-seeing, All-knowing, Ever-present eyes.

Well, let me tell you The Outcome of That Debacle!
I have never felt more Adrift from God than I did That Day!
I felt like I had Disappointed, Even Lost My Best Friend
And, Believe Me, The Incident Something Precious did Me truly Cost!

I tried to Rationalize My Game-Play
I tried asking Myself
Why such a Big Deal over a "Stupid Game!"
But, try as I might, I couldn't get my Living Spirit to feel Right
For it was as though I had Permitted My Blessing from God to be A "NO Show!"

Dear Ones:

This Real Life Is No Computer Simulation!

There are Real Souls, Real Threats, Real Prizes, Real Deaths and Real Rewards!

The Real Difference between The Real Computer and Your Real Life Is that Real Death without a Real Commitment to The Real Jesus Leaves One without The Real Benefit of The Eternal's Real Life Regeneration Cord, and Award, and Reward!

Anything in Our Lives That causes Our  Eyes To Look Away from Jesus Christ IS Our New God, Compliments of The Fraud!

So, Give it Up, and Look Up!

Call to Jesus - He'll get you off It's Hook, and With Eternal Blessings, He will Fill You Up!

Tell It To Jesus!



God Wrote His Law 

On 

The Tables Of Our Hearts

AND

We Will

ALWAYS KNOW WHEN

We Are Doing Wrong!


*******

Denying A Lie Doesn't Convert It To The Truth!

AND

Don't Play

A Disobedient Jonah's Part

In

Your Own Life's Story!





PRAYER:

Father, Forgive Me
For Ignoring You
Father, Forgive Me
For Creating Presumptuous-Sin Stew
Father, Forgive Me
For Those Days when I Deliberately, Wickedly
Choose to Not Know or Own You
And Help Me to Yield My Sinful Self
Totally Unto You!
I Love You, Lord.
AMEN
