Presumption Is A Sin! + PRAYER: Father, I Hear You!

The Leaders Of Today
Are Like King Saul In The Prophet Samuel's Day
AND
Fearing The People We Could Say
AND
The Word Of The Lord
They Doth Flagrantly Disobey!

There Is No Excuse For Presuming
Upon The Mercies Of The Living God
For He Gives Mercy Freely
As Protection Against The Cruel Fraud!

Presumption Is Sin
AND
The Protection Of Holy Angels We Lose
Then
The Holy Spirit
Is Grieved Away
Leaving Us To Howl At The Moon
When Evil Spirits
With Our Mind Gaily Play!

The Lord Said: "Don't!"
The People In Lust Of Heart Say: "By All Means Do!"
Thus The Godly Word Is Denigrated
AND
The Word Of Sin Is Borne Aloft
AND
Man
In Vile Arrogance
At The Living God Does Scoff!

And God ...

When Man Has Gone Too Far Left
To Ever Be Considered Right
Sends The Word With The Prophet:

"You Are Rejected!
I Find In You No Delight!"

Then The Man
Who Had All The Power
In Crocodile Tears
Of Despair
Is Willing To Skin Cuffings
So That He Can Still Keep The Power
AND
Get The Perks And The Pay!

God Has A Line
That No Man Should Ever Cross!
That Is The Line Of Presumption
Believing
Because He Is One Chosen
That God Will Fawningly Permit
Malicious Sin
To Get A Free Pass!

So ...

A Word To The Wise
Should Ever Be Sufficient
On This Day
For
For The Sin Of Presumption
We Are Assuredly Going To Pay!

God Is Not Blind!
God Wears No Glasses!
AND
God Has No Rolling Walking Stick!
God Does Not Play Favorites
And Burnt Offerings
Won't Make The Living God
His Lips Of Fire To Lick!

If God Says: "Do!"
Our Job Is To Say:"Doing!"
AND
"Done!"
AND
If We Don't Know How To Proceed
We Are To Say To The Lord:

"Father, Please Show Me How
This Race To Run?!"

And ... The God

Who Sends Us
Will Show The Way
AND
Provide All 
That Is Needed
With His Desires To Faithfully Comply 
In The Very Day!

Victory In Jesus
Should Never Be Just A Song!
Victory In Jesus
Should Be The Oil
That Moves True Believers Along!

Faith Should Never Be An Expedient
Nor A Coin In The Church
But Should Be The Be All
To End All Sins
That Cause Good Men
Grandly To Fall!

Weak Will!
Weak Conscience!
Stand For Anything!
Fall For Everything!
Presumption!
Denunciation!
Denial!
Rejection!
AND
Death!
This Is The Path Walked
By All
Who Will Run The Race
Like Old King Saul!

PRAYER:

Dear Father,

Your Call To Salvation

To Right Living

I Do Hear!

Please Help Me, Lord

Your Blessed Word To Obey!

I Can Do Nothing

My Own Soul To Save

So, Please, Lord

I Beseech You

To Help Me

Walking In Your Way To Crave!

I Love You, Lord!

AMEN.

Honor God

And He Will 

Honor You!

HeySu

In the Little Town called Prayer
A Little Song was sung with Cheer
Reminding All Who Burdens Bear
To Call Upon The One Who Cares!

I Happened Upon Prayer Today
And Noted A Slight Peculiarity
Each and Every One was In Charity
Singing The Song They All Knew!

HeySu

HeySu

HeySu!

HeySu

HeySu

HeySu!

HeySu

HeySu

HeySu!

HeySu

HeySu

HeySu!

Huh?!?

Why are these people singing The Word HeySu?!

Who in The Name of All That Is Holy is HeySu?

Every where
All you hear
Standing
Sitting in The Clear
Young and Old
Singing from The Soul
Their Song is of One
HeySu!

Alright!

I Must Know!

Excuse Me, Ma'am?!
I'm New Here!
Could You Tell Me
About The Song?
The Song All Sing
As they  Move Around
Please, Tell Me
About The HeySu Song!?

That Lady Looked Kindly upon Me
Gently Touched My Hand
Smiled Sweetly, and said:

"HeySoos is The Spanish Pronunciation of The Name Jesus!
This Town is Called Prayer
And for us
Jesus IS Always a Prayer Away
And it is Our Reminder
To Call
To Call
To Call upon The Name of Jesus - HeySoos
That We May Be Saved."

The Lady's name is Faith!
She pointed out Glory ... in The Distance
Introduced Me to Grace
Took me to lunch at It's All Joy!
And walked me to The Sanctuary
Where I met Peace!

For The First Time in Absolute Ages
My Sleep that Night was Rest.

Through Happy Tears
At The Dawning of The Day
The Name of Jesus
Was All That I could Say
HeySoos
Jesus
Jesus
HeySoos
However One Pronounces  His Name
The Prayer Always Get Through!

Jesus, Jesus, Jesus

Holy, Savior, Jesus

Blessed, Faithful, Jesus

He's Our Friend to The End!

Vespers at the End of the Sabbath of The Lover of Your Soul

John 3:16
For God so loved the world, that He GAVE His Only Begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him, should not perish, but have everlasting life.

In this word from the disciple whom Jesus loved, and to whom He gave the greatest Revelation of the Ages, is the greatest love note ever written.

We, as Christians, must not go with the world in the belief that there is a "day" set aside for celebrating love! No!

Our Almighty God gave us the example of what the true celebration of love really is! Sacrifice!

God gave His best for us, so that we might be saved!

Love is not an emotion. Love IS!

Love is not acting. Love is action!

Love is caring enough to do enough to save the beloved.

Jesus Christ, the Lover of our souls, loved us enough to give the very best - His Life - for us!

How is that for love?

Now go and love someone ... in Jesus' Name!

CLOSING GEM:

God is Love

And Love is Life!

Therefore, God is Life!

Seek God for Love in Life!

AMEN.

Choose Jesus

Choose Jesus

I decided to follow Jesus

No one made that decision for me

I understood quite well what it was that I was doing

And I look forward in faith to eternity

I knew that there would be problems

With friends, family and associates

Who wondered aloud about whatever was the big deal

About having wings and sitting all day on a cloud

They said that Christianity was just a panacea

For the old, the young, and the very strange

And asked me a question, oh quite directly

If I was sure I was getting deranged?

I tried not to be offended since

I knew they had all been misinformed

Misdirected, and even lied to

So I decided to try to repair the brand

Jesus loves all the little children

Sinners, the blind, the halt and even the deaf

He heals and comforts, and He gently restores them

And invites all to spend Eternity with Him by and by

Jesus gave each, and every body, a free will

To their own path and way to choose

Whatever decision you decide to make is yours, friend

But there is Heaven to gain should you so choose

There will be Peace in that Valley of Promise

But the Vale of Tears, thank God, will be no more

We'll meet the Righteous, and the Heroes of all the ages

And live in harmony first a millennium in the sky

Oh, how I long to talk with my Creator

And ask Him questions that only He the answers know

To rest, and to speak to all of the sages

Whose inspired wisdom He caused to overflow

I choose Jesus to love, to obey and honor

For His yoke is easy, and even His burden it is very light

Trust Him, reach out, and hold even to death on to Him

You'll see Him face to face, forever, by and by

Love Him, and keep His commandments to prove it

Endeavor to live a life of purity – He will aid

Cast aside the idols and fleshly lusts that ensnare you

He'll soon be here at the unfolding of the sky

Give Him your heart, your will and your way, friend

He died to prove that you're important to Him

Trust no one else to guide, protect and to shield you

Jesus Christ will call you His very own elect

Very soon, King Jesus and the entourage of Heaven

Will all appear in that bright eastern sky

The Dead-in-Christ will rise, and the Living Faithful will join them

Together they'll meet King Jesus, with the angels, in the sky

Won't you please join me and choose King Jesus

To love, to worship, and, yes, we must Him adore

He, alone, is faithful, He's not a man that He'd have to lie

He proved His love for you – He was scourged, He bled and then He died!

He has inscribed our names in the palms of His hands

So, please, don't fear the enemy of our souls

Christ covered us believers in His blood's sacrifice

So come plod on, the end is drawing nigh

Lord, strengthen us, for the battle that is coming

Give us Grace to stand, and comfort You our souls

We hold the Promise – Eternal Life! Yes! Forever more!

For our God sits down upon The Great White Throne!

Let's hold the fort for we know that He is coming

Let's labor on whilst it is yet the day

The night is coming where no man can labor

So let's join in prayer for God's everlasting day!

Father: We love You, we praise You, and we worship You.

Have mercy on us even as we pray. AMEN

Choosing to Follow

Jesus

Comes With a Cost!

What Wondrous Love

What Wondrous Love

He loves me.

Why should I care?

I didn't ask Him!

Please go away!

He offers me gifts.

I don't want them!

I didn't ask Him!

Please go away!

He promises life –

No sorrow, no shame!

I didn't ask Him!

He wouldn't go away!

He pleaded!

He beseeched!

He loves me!

Oh, did He teach!

He was willing!

He died!

He went away!

I cried!

I MISS HIM!!

Three days later He arose

Glorified

Defeated the foe

Went to the Father up above

Oh, how I need HIM!

Heart opened now

I am in love

He sent His Spirit

Showed more love

Bless His name

He despised the shame

He will come again –

I really need HIM!

Oh, praise our God

Jesus bore all for love

Of you and me

He'll come again

'Tis very plain

To destroy the last

Vestige of sin's stain

And at last His Beloved Bride claim –

HE's coming for ME!

Praise to our God who

Time, and again

Redeeming Love

His Heart proclaimed

I love HIM

Oh, I love HIM so

Through Grace of God

I'm not letting go –

JESUS LOVES ME!! **BJC**

Lord, Prepare Me

Father, Have mercy on me,  a sinner.  

Father, I am digging into Your Holy Word seeking after knowledge, and I ask You to help me to see Your truth, 

and not the truth that evil men would have me 

believe for their gain as I search through the many and various study materials to aid my understanding of Your Word.  

I ask You to shield my eyes, my ears, and my heart from the personal interpretations, outright lies, and carefully 

crafted deceits of the enemy of my soul, and help me, Lord, 

to keep my eye on the prize, Home. 

Oh, how my heart longs for Home. Home with Jesus. 

You have promised in Your Holy Word that You 

will have a people prepared and ready to meet the King. 

Please, I beseech You, help me, under the agency of 

Your Holy Spirit, to be ready, possessing all 

the fruit of Your Spirit, and living as only a 

Child of the King, can. I love You, Lord. 

Please come soon. AMEN

YOU are Invited to a ... PITY PARTY!

Pity Party

I host a Pity Party

When things are going wrong

The guests who come are just like me

But they don’t stay very long.

Feeling Sorry for My Self and Oh Poor Me

Are always first to arrive

And by the time Misery comes along

The party’s really alive!

A few hours in their company

Make me feel worst than before

And so I can’t wait for them to leave

To reclaim the life I adore!

I realize there’s no reason to fret

My life is a lot better than most

I tell my “friends” thanks for their time

And invite them to get lost! **BJC**

Jesus Loves ME!! 

Yippee!!

The Devil

The Devil

The Devil plays a dirty game

He has his own rule book

Don’t think you can outwit him

“Cause you’re going to end up on his hook!

The Devil is a liar

His words are truth reversed

And if you are unwary

He’ll draw you in head first!

You cannot fight the Devil

Without sword, buckler and shield

For if you fight him unguarded

To him you’ll always yield!

Take Jesus — He’s the fighting sword

Buckler and shield — His truth

Swath mightily — you will stand firm

And you’ll get through your youth! **BJC**

Crucify HIM Again

Crucify Him Again?!

He made the heavens, the earth, the seas.

Crucify HIM!

He created man to be like Him, and for worship.

Crucify HIM!

What did He ever do to you?

He made Redemption's plan to save you!

Ohh! Crucify HIM!

Refrain #1:

Have you no shame?

He has no blame!

He loves you, yes!

He's glorious!

Why crucify HIM again?

Refrain #2

He is the King! He has no sin!

He loves you, yes! He's glorious!

He is the King! His name's JESUS!

Don't crucify HIM … again?

Don't crucify HIM again! **BJC**

Man's Favorite Pursuits

Man's Favorite Pursuits

She is ever the sensualist

He lives by all his greed

They are so very ambitious

And very proud indeed!

She is ever so puffed up

He is a stuffed-shirt by his creed

They complement each other

Love of money is their speed!

She's selfish, he's miserly

Both dishonest to boot

They fear no law nor justice

Will not fear to shoot!

Prayer? Bible? Believer? Jesus who?

When did you say we were introduced?

Then Put Him on the speed dial

We'll call Him if we need a boost!

Pride! Greed! Gluttony! Sloth!

Lust! Envy! And Wrath!

They indulge in them all

And, yes! Then they laugh!

Who cares what others think!?

We live for ourselves!

Why must you always butt in?

Who let you through our chain link?

They lived their lives like hedonists

Nothing to recommend them

But like the rich man with Lazarus

They're only fit to condemn!

It was only when in review

Their lives looked back in

That they recognized with horror

How foolish they'd been!

Those that they'd ill-treated

Those they'd robbed blind

Those they'd had wrongly punished

They now begged to be kind!

Alas, it's too late

You're no friend of ours

You despised us and you cursed the Lord!

Yes! THAT King Jesus!

No! We cannot help you!

There's enmity, there is envy, no love between

You sinners and the Savior

Oh, look! The opening scene!


The sky is unfurling

Rolling back as a scroll

Look! There! Upon a white horse,

With many crowns, is the Lord!

The graves are opening wide

Saints alive with the dead-in-Christ rise high

To meet our Savior in the sky!

Sinners, prepare to die!

I'm sorry!

Goodbye! **BJC**

Dear Friends:

Lest you think that Christians will gloat at the loss of the wicked, think again!

The Lord has said in His Word that it is not His wish that any should perish. So, far be it from the truth for us as HIS children – who choose to obey – to rejoice over those who are, or will be, lost. Let us, therefore, redouble our efforts to help prepare a people to meet the King.

Let us, if we can't preach, pray for, cook, feed, clothe, visit,

and love our brothers and sisters into the Kingdom.

Marston 'n Marcelle's Marriage

Marston 'n Marcelle's Marriage

Marston looked at the rising sun and saw

Another challenge waiting to victimize!

Marcelle looked at the same rising sun and saw

Another blessing – oh praise Him who supplies!

Marston looked at the mirror and there he saw

Miserable weariness on the face of years!

Marcelle looked in the same mirror and saw

Happy tiredness on a face with no fears!

Marston looked at the old horse and saw

Just another drain upon their oft' meager supplies!

Marcelle looked at the same old horse and saw

A faithful laborer who never gave a surprise!

He looked at Her and She looked at Him

Each looked at the other, and saw deep within

He saw the peace that she held most dear

She saw anger, bitterness, and much despair!

They both spoke at the same time!

Both wanted to be heard!

She said: “You go first!”

He said: “Don't be absurd!”

This, my friends, is how it is

When unequally yolked two partners be

She says: “It is an 'A!'” He says: “Oh, you mean 'Z!'”

And so, Dear Ones, they can never agree!

Darkness and Light, Blackness and White

She means By Faith, He means By Sight

She holds her Bible dear, He won't ever come near

He won't go to Bible Class, They are ever at an impasse!

For many years, Marcelle faithfully prayed ... to God!

For many years, Marston faithfully played ... the Fraud

Until one fateful day not too long past

He came very near to breathing his last!

And so it was that perspectives aligned

She asked to pray for him, and he ever so quickly replied:

"Dear Wife, I am sorry for all that I've done and been!

Pray to your Jesus! I need to be made clean!”

So after years of pleading and praying for him

Marcelle prayed to The Dear Lord, and asked Him to draw nigh

To her beloved husband along life's journey e'er long

And thanked the Almighty for His love so kind and true

For keeping this Dear One so that he, too

Could be welcomed into the Household of Faith

As he had now forsaken what was his great disgrace!

“Oh clean him, Lord bless him, as he walks the narrow way

And by Your Grace, Father, we'll see You faith to Face!” **BJC**

The “Christian” Walk

The “Christian” Walk

Lord, I am trying to walk

The straight and narrow way

But there are people in this church

That make me laugh, and not in a nice way!

My Child:

You came to Me today

All torn up inside

About all the things wrong inside your church

Even your Pastor and his new bride.

You spoke about shenanigans

Misappropriations, adultery

Trysts, fornication, and bastardy

And new football lotteries.

Please tell me, Dear Loved One

Why do you see all this?

You can tell me of every one else

But, where am I on your list?

Yes, you will see dishonesty

And infidelity, quite true!

You see everyone else's wrong-doing,

But aren't you dishonest, too?

In My Word Matthew Chapter 7

Written in verses 3, 4 and 5

It speaks of seeing another's small mote

When a big beam is blinding you!

I love you, Dear Child, but chastise you I must

Don't be a hypocrite about other people's dust!

Keep your eyes upon Me, I'm you Savior, your Friend!

Stop airing other people's dust-balls when you operate a pig pen!

Stop judging other people

Clean up your own dirt

Wipe the soot off your chimney

And wash out your dirty skirt!

Keep looking at Me

The clean pathway of Light!

Hold on to right principles

Let My light through you shine bright!

Be sober, be vigilant!

The adversary is very near

To send you away wayward

To blind you with despair!

Keep your eyes on Me – JESUS!

I am your way home!

Walk onward to victory

Look at ME, only, alone!

Put on my solid armor

It will shield you from sin!

It'll protect you, it'll cover you

No sin-dart let in!

So, Dear One, wear these things:

Love, JOY and Peace

LONG-SUFFERING, and Gentleness

Uncleanness – RELEASE!!

Add GOODNESS and Faithfulness

Add MEEKNESS – for sure!

To this we'll add TEMPERANCE

Over these the Law has no cure!

Oh, My Child, whom dearly I love

Keep your eyes fixed ever firmly

Upon My Kingdom, upon Me, for

I poured out My Life's blood – 'twas to save you!

Don't worry about others

You know what YOU must do

Do YOUR work, ever faithful

I WILL REWARD YOU!! **BJC**
