HAPPY SABBATH + Bad Choices ... Bad Results!

Bad Choices Equal Bad Results! 

Righteousness 

Is 

Like The Peacefully Cooing Dove 

And

Self-Righteousness 

Is 

Like The Splendidly-Showy Strutting, Screaming Peacock! 

Each Is A Chosen Way Of Life! 

Beloved, 

The Fact Of "Choice" States Clearly That 

You, Me, We Allowed Ourselves To Indulge Thought 

Which Speaks To Our Detailed Analysis Of 

The Pros And The Cons Of A Proposed Action! 

With This In Mind

It Is Clear That Whatever Decision We Thoughtfully Make

Whatever We Choose To Do

The Outcome, Good Or Bad

Cheap Or Expensive 

Or

Life Or Death

Is 

All On Our Own Head! 

Remember Your Creator-Given

Free-Will And Free Choice!

If We Take This Further

We Will Understand That "Choice" 

Is 

Why Not One Of Us 

Will Be Able To Stand Before The Judge Of All Flesh

The Savior Of Every Man

And Say

"I Didn't Know Right From Wrong!" 

Or 

"The Devil, My Brother, Sister, Neighbor

Mother, Father, Friend, Enemy

Made Me Do 'It!'" 

That Boat Ain't Gonna Float! 

We Are Called To Be Wise For Our Own Selves 

So Let Us Understand That 

We Have One Chance To Make The Right Choice 

To Avoid The "Why Me!?!" Consequence Of 

Departing From The Path Of Purity, Truth ... Righteousness! 

Brethren, Beloved

Please Let Us Dare Today 

To Do The Deeds To Plant The Seeds Of The Fruit That 

We Really Desire To Eat! 

Choose To Do Right 

And 

Walk Right In Living Light! 

Peace!

The Deceitful Human Heart: Who Can Know It!?!

I Had Me A Real Problem

From Which I Could Not Hide!

A Problem, I Tell You, True

That With Me Always Did Abide!

My Problem Was My Evil Heart

Deceitful Above All Knowing

And

Desperately Wicked, I Can Avow

My Tattered Life Was Showing!

Of My Own Self

I Could Not My Heart Repair

Or Even To Tell You Truthfully

Its Wickedness Declare

Because

Deceit, Deceit, Deceit

It Is A Cheat

That Takes Great Pleasure

In Making Self Look Clean 
And 
Spruced-Up Neat!

I Was Tired, Oh, So, Tired

Of Living The Life Of Sin

Of Walking On A Path That

My Speech Was Surely Not Showing!

I Spoke Morning And Did Evening!

I Walked Evening And Spoke Night!

I Took Pleasure In Works Of Unrighteousness

And

That Landed Me With The Eternal God

In A Really Serious Fight Plight!

I Answered To His Name!

I Brought His Name Shame!

I Made Myself Ashamed

And

I Had No One To Blame

But

Me, Myself And I

And

My Deceitful Heart ... Inside!

Time To Revive!

Time To Reform!

To Be Made Alive!

Time For Me Never Ever Again

To The Ways Of This World Conform

But

How To Do It!?!

I Needed My Heart!

I Couldn't Just Pluck It Out!

Ahh, Yes!

I Needed The Creator!

The Justifier!

The Sanctifier!

The School Master!

The Word!

The Truth!

The Way Maker!

The One Merciful!

The One Offering Grace!

The One WHo Gives Forgiveness Asked!

The One Who Took My Place

On That Evil Cross!

But ...

Did I Dare Go And Ask!?!

Would He Turn Me Away!

Would He Say:

"Not Today!"

I Needed To Pray

A Real Prayer

And

Not One Of Those Self-Serving

Good-For-Nothing But Noise Prayers!

I Know What I Shall Do!

King David!

I Shall Have A Look At You

Who Sinned Against The Lord

The Lord, Alone

And

Who, When Corrected

Did Not Pass The Buck

Did Not Make Excuse

Did Not Turn Away

Did Not Play: 
I Do Not Know What To Say!

Create In Me A Clean Heart, Oh, God!

And Renew ...!

Yes!

Renew A Right Spirit ... Within Me!

Cast Me Not Away From Your Presence  ...!

I Know That I Deserve It!

But, Please, Dear Lord!

Help Me!

Make Me Clean!

Help Me To Turn Away From Sin And Sinning!

Help Me To Walk Right In Your Eyes!

Help Me To Stay On The Path To Salvation!

Help Me Not Look Back

Neither In My Mind

Nor Physically!

Help Me, Lord

To Live ... For You

By You

Through You

So That I May

At The Appointed Time

Live With You!

That Was It!

Come Clean!

Tell The Truth!

Ask For Forgiveness!

Ask For Direction!

Walk According To The Direction!

Despise The Love Of The Lie!

Speak Truth In Righteousness!

Do Not The Holy God Defy!

Deny The Liar!

And

To The Eternal God

With Gladness Of Heart

Cry! Cry! Cry!

Did You Know That ...

There's A Land That's Fairer Than Day

In The Sweet By And By

For All Those Who Love

Trust, Honor, Worship
And

Depend Upon And Obey The Lord

Without Fear Or Failing!

I Have Made My Decision!

I Shall Walk With God!

Master!

Let Me Walk With Thee!

I'm Trying!

I'm Willing!

I Desire To Obey!

Help Me, Lord, Please Help Me

I Desire Your Will To Obey!

Make Me Like You!

Now!

Today!

This Very Moment!

In This Hour!

I Know You Can!

I'm Inviting You Into My Heart!

Please Make It A Fit Residence

Just For You!

Fix Me, Jesus!

You, Alone, Can Fix Me!

I No Longer Walk This Vale Of Tears

Alone!

My Heart Is In His Hand!

My Life Is His ... Alone

Because

He, It Is

Who Is The One

Who ... For My Personal Sin

Did

With Innocent Blood

Sweat And Tears

Atone!

I Cannot Leave Him Alone!

I Must Stay The Course

Because

I Desire Residence With Him

In The Eternal Home!

Take My Life, Lord

And

Consecrate It To Your Service!

Personal Puzzler: Christian Talkie Walky

My Christian Talk and
My Christian Walk are best friends
It is alleged that they are bound for Heaven
However, before they can enter there
They will God's Looking Glass share!

My Christian Walk had heel spurs and finger calluses
Empty bank account and
Old outdated clothing
And not a true friend to His Poor Name
But happy countenance joyfully displayed He
And Prayer Unceasing was his favorite cup of tea!

My Christian Talk has mucho friends
Money galore
Clothing to fill a boutique store
Hands as smooth as a baby's behind
His feet never knew a hill nor incline to climb.

His attitude did on the last nerve grate
He knew the Mind of God
He loved to set dates
He could tell in a split second who was to God true
He knew alllll that there was of Jesus to know
And weekly he put on A True Christian Spectacular Show!

One day, Great Earth's end was by The Holy God pronounced
The Time of Harvest was duly truly announced:

"Wheat Sheep on the Right!

Goat Grapes on the Left!

Take your position

#TheEternalGodIsOnTheFinalMission! "

Christian and Christian both headed for The Wheat Sheep Gate
And soon they were at the head of the Line
But only One was accepted for his walk did by Grace Shine
And One Christian was cast aside by the Great Lord God Divine!

Which Christian entered in at The Straight Gate?

Which Christian do you seek to have in yourself revealed?
