VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Mimicking Or Mirroring The Master!?!











 
Be Like Jesus! Love One Another! When The Character Of Christ Is Perfected In Us, Jesus Will Come To Claim Us Who Are His Own! 

Does That Mean That We Will Look Like Jesus Or Act Like Jesus Or Both!?! How Can I Know!?! 

Are We To Mimick The Lord!?! Anybody Got A Mirror! 

Funny You Mention Mimick AND Mirror, Macy-May! 

Ain't Nothing Funny About That, Gracy-Faye! Whenever, Wherever There Is Anything Spoken Or Done Or To Be Done For Or In The Name Of Our Jesus, It Is Guaranteed That There Will Be Mimics And Mirrors On The Back-Hand Side Because Of That Side-Winder, Satan The Damned! 

True That! Our Jesus Is Perfect, And He Says, "Be Ye Perfect Even As Your Father In Heaven Is Perfect!" 

And What Do We Often See On Show!?! 

Yes, Dingus!?! 

That's An Easy Answer, Macy-May! We See Parodies Parading Prominently! We See Mincing Mimicks And ...! 

... We See Mirror Madness! 

What's This Mirror Madness, Milo!?! Ahhh, Mirror Madness! That, My Friends, Is One Of Beelzebub's Baleful Bests ... With A Branch! 

Do Share, Mon Frere! 

When We View The Lord, What We See Is What We Receive! When We Faithfully Follow The Lamb, There Ain't No Goat Parts Passing, People! 

Very True! 

So What If I Tell You That Beelzebub The Bold And Brazen Displays A True Mirror Of Our Beautiful Savior On A Branch Of A Goodly Tree!!?! 

Just As You Reach The Branch Of A Tree Before You May Touch The Tree, The Source Of Its Life, We See Satan's "Good" Mirror On The Extended Branch Of His Goodly Tree, And We Stand Still, Looking Real Fine, And Preen, Pose, And Present Our Position When, Suddenly, The Branch Is The Tree And The Tree Is The Mirror Is Become A House Of Mirrors ... Circus Mirrors! 

Merciful Powers! 

Good Call, Calley! 

I Remember Those Circus Mirrors From My Ill-Spent Youth! Those Things Would Give A Person Nightmares After Making You Want To Upchuck Your Fairground Eats! 

That Sounds Positively Vile ... Evil! 

There! You Said It, Cravitz! Bait And Switch! Exchange Gold To Get Pyrite! Throw Away Beauty And Glow-Up With ... Ashes!?! 

Brethren, This Is Where The Rubber Meets The Road! In The Compromise With Sin, The Caricature Becomes The Keeper, The Kept, And, Ultimately, When Christ Comes, The Cast Off, The Cast Out! 

Wow! Do I Hear Upcoming Wailing And Gnashing Of Teeth!?! 

You Better Believe It! Jesus Is Right, Light, Pure, Perfect, No Derivatives, No Shadows, No Mirrors! 

We Are Not To Be Merchandise, To Be Manipulated, Packaged, Branded, Sold Out! 

We Are Bought With A Price Not Known To Be Silver Or Gold! 

We Walk In Light, In Love, By Faith, Through Grace, In Truth! 

Brethren, Those Are Real, Bold, Plain Statements Of Fact, No Wavering, No Waffling, No Buffering, No Sick-Inducing Parodies! Jesus Saves Souls From Sin! 

These Parodies, These Mimicks, Encourage People To, With Comfort, Play In And With Sin ...  To Conform To The Classes Of This World ... And Not To Be Transformed By The Renewing Of Their Minds Through Christ Who Strengthens Them! 

Do You Know What's The Difference Between The Mirror Of The Word Of God And Satan's Circus Mirror!?! 

Yes, Calley! 

The Mirror Of The Lord's Word Will Only Show You What's Wrong Whilst Satan's Shining Sifter Shimmeringly Shifts Us Through The Stages Of The Changes Of A Life That Blasts Us And Benefits Him! 

Wow, Calley! Color Me Surprised! Not! He's The Father Of Lies, Ain't He!?! 

Look, Let's Just Settle This! Give Me Jesus Because With Him, I'll Rise!

AMEN!!! 

Brethren, Constant Effort Must Be Put Forth If We Are To Stay True To Truth In The Light Of Life! 

As We Started, Let Us End: Be Like Jesus! Let It Be Your Song ... Your Reasonable Service! 

AMEN!!! 

Peace!

Satan Is A Teacher, Too!?!






 

... Humans Learn More From Trouble! You're Not Going To Like What I'm About To Say, But Nevertheless, I'm Still Going To Say It: I Have Learned, I Have Been Taught, Some Unintended And Valuable Lessons ... By Satan! 

Shut Your Mouth, Elowen! 

Why, Cloveen!?! For Speaking The Truth!?! Don't You Know That Even Liars Must Tell The Truth At Some Point In Time!?! Don't You Know That Even Those Who Would Destroy You Teach You Great Lessons ... If You Are Willing To Learn Them!?! 

So What Are These "Great" Lessons And "Truths" That The Piercing Serpent, The Roaring Lion, The Lord Of Dung, The Adversary Of Souls Has Taught You, Elowen!?! 

I'm Glad You Asked, Shari! The Lord's Enemy, Our Enemy, The Adversary Of Our Purchased Souls, Satan The Damned, Has Plainly, Efficiently, And Effectively Taught Me That Covetousness, Envy, Greed, Deceit, Lying, Malice, Narcissism, Obsession, And Self-Worship, Self-Absorption, Have No Place In The Life Of An Ambassador, A Soldier, For Christ! 

He Has Also Taught Me About Keeping My Eye On The Prize, On "Playing" The Long Game, On Devotion To Duty, On Commitment To The Cause That I Wholeheartedly Believe In! 

You Can't Be Serious, Elowen! 

Yes, I Am, Caprice! That Wretch Satan Has Unintentionally, I Am Sure, Taught Me That No Matter The Setbacks, No Matter The Failures, I Must Press On To My Goal With Single-Minded Focus! 

I Am Not Hearing This, Elowen! 

You Better Listen, Caprice! Let Me Ask You This, Then: Isn't It Possible To Learn Something Positive And Preserving From A Negative And Destructive Element And Occurrence!?! 

Of Course, We Can! 

So Why Can't We Learn From Satan's Antics!?! 

Ah, Umm, Well ... It Is ... Well ...! ... How Deep!?! 

Friends, The Lord Said That With Getting Wisdom, We Should Also Get Understanding! Understanding Demands That We Learn Two Great Truths: 

First, That What The Lord Means For Good And For Our Salvation, Satan Will Pervert For Evil And For Our Destruction! 

Secondly, The Lord Plainly Teaches Us What To Do For Abundant Life, Good Health, And Spiritual Elevation, While Satan Teaches Us ... Under Camouflage ... How To Destroy Ourselves With Our Own Thoughts, Words, And Deeds Via Self-Glorification, And Self-Aggrandizement! 

Through Truth, The Lord Teaches Us How To Get Into The Living Kingdom! 

Via Deceit, Satan Teaches Us How To Be Excluded From The Glorious Kingdom: He Is The Exemplar For Those Who Choose To Reject Christ's Free To All Salvation! 

But, Most Importantly, The Best Lesson That Satan Has Taught Me Is That The Word Of The Living God Is True, And To Stick To, To Stand Up For, To Choose To Be Sanctified By The Savior, And To Faithfully Wait With Patient Endurance To Be Sealed At The Appointed Hour By The Holy Spirit Who Leads Into All Truth, And To Not Create My Own "Heaven" By Known Feigned Aka False Wisdom! 

Sin Slays! 

Salvation Serves And Seals, And By These I Know That I Cannot Lose With Our Lord Jesus! 

Elowen, Dear Heart, I Like How Your Mind Works: You Just Taught Me A Thing! Bless The Lord! 

Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: A Life "Blessed" With No Stress!?!

 










Come, My Precious Ones! Come! 

Uh, Oh, Paredo!

Uh, Hmm, Joe! 

What Do You Think, Fanci!?! Philosophy Or Society!?! 

Neither One! Sis. Bringone Has Been Muttering About Somebody Called Grace And Kissing And Falling Down In The Street And "Them," Whoever They Are, Not Loving Truth! 

Are You Sure About That, Fanci!?! That Surely Sounds Like Gossip And You Well Know That Sis. Bringone Does Not Indulge Gossip Nor Embrace Gossipers! 

Yes, Both Times, Paredo And Joe, But ...! 

Blessings, Beloved! The Lord Is Good To Us, But We Are Not Good To Ourselves Or Each Other! Stop Saying That You're Too Blessed To Be Stressed! 

SIS. BRINGONE!!! That's Practically Heresy! With All Due Respect, Bite Your Tongue! 

Sorry, Cephas, No Can Do! I Have Need Of It Since We Are Going To Do A Bible Rear-View! We Are Going Into The Way-Back Machine! 

Let's Talk Creation! 
Theme: No Stress!?!

Earth: Formless, Void, Darkness Abounded! 
Then Came: Shape, Fill, Light! Who, How!?! 

Clay And Air: Adam! 
Why, How!?! 

A Rib: Eve! 
When, Why, How!?! 

Tower By Nimrod: Language Explosion! 
Where, Why, How!?! 

Noah: 120-Year Sermon And A Cruise Liner/Ark! 
Why, How, What For!?! 

Moses: Split Sea, Dry Ground, Dry Shod Feet! 
You Know The Drill!

What We Have Here, People, Is It A Conundrum, An Enigma, A Mystery OR ...!?! 

Sis. Bringone, What We Have Here Is Commonsense Compliments Of The Only Wise God! Pressure Aka A Stressor, Was Applied And The Promise, A Present, A Presence Was Supplied! What Was, What Is, Shall Be Until The Lord Comes For Us Who Work Out Our Own Salvation With Godly Fear And Trembling! 

Well Said, Alma! 

To Close This "No Stress, Too Blessed To Be Stressed" Nonsense Down For Good, Look Upon Our Lord Jesus In The Garden Of Gethsemane Praying To His Father ...! 

... And Sweating Great Drops Of Blood ... For Us! 

Yes, Royal, For Us! Wasn't That Stress!?! 

Yes, Sis. Bringone! 

Dear Ones, Please Stop Subscribing To And Sponsoring The Nebulous Aka Hazy, Vague, Confused Popular Religion! It Is All Fronts: No Foundation Stone, No Backbone, No Capstone! 

Now, To Beautify Our Precious Time Together, I Ask You To Think Of Those Drops Of Jesus' Blood: What Caused Them, Where They Led, What They Cost Him, What They Purchased, And What We Have Been Gifted And Blessed With As A Result! 

I Have Six Words: 
Six Is The Number For Man! 

The Six Words Point To Word Seven: 
Seven Is God's Number, The Number Of Perfection! 

Six Can Get To Seven Who, For Us, Will Never Be Late! 

Enjoy Your Life In Love With Your Gift Of Access To The Throne Of Grace Even Though Truth Was  Cast Down To The Ground As Stated In Daniel Chapter 8 Verse 12! 

Jesus Christ, God, Gives Us Life, Light, And Is Our Only Peace In This Vale Of Tears! He Has Sent His Holy Spirit To Be With Us Forever To Be Our Comfort, Our Comforter! 

The Holy Spirit, God, With Our Free-Will Cooperation And Desire To Abide Under The Shadow Of The Almighty Through Our Freedom To Choose Our Own Way To Live, Imbues Us With His Power To Live Lives Of Purity! 

Beloved, Be Wise! You Don't Need Light, Comfort, Peace, And Power, To Live In Purity If There Is NO Stress To Do And Be Otherwise! 

Sis. Bringone, I, For One, Am Glad That Righteousness And Peace Kissed Each Other! Without Them, The Comforter Would Not Have Come To Lead Us Into All Truth! 

I Told You, Fanci! Sis. Bringone Does Not Do Gossip! 

Thank You, Jesus! 

Suddenly, I Feel Great! 

Hallelujah, Jesus! 

AMEN!!! 

Peace!

The Most Expensive Gift On Earth!?!









You Know That She Has Got To Be Mad, Right!?! 

I'm Not So Sure About That, Pilly! 

What About You, Erwin!?! 

I'm Not Going To Commit To Any Pronouncement About Her Sanity Because She Always Has A Good Reason For Her Unusual Assignments! 

Come Now! Do You Actually Think That It Is A Sane Move For Her To Ask Us To Bring Her The Most Expensive Gift That We Can Afford To Give, And To Keep The Receipt So That We Can Return It IF She Doesn't Like It!?! 

Yes, Kareena, I Do! She's Up To Something! She Is Always Up To Something! 

But What About Her Having Always Said That Giving A Gift Should Never Be About Price!?! 

You Have A Point, Penny, So Her Stressing "Most Expensive" Means Something Other Than The Obvious! 

You're Right, Erwin! Look, I'll See You All Tomorrow! Don't Forget That She Said Not To Wrap Your Gift! 

There You Have It, My Friends! Another Clue Plain As Day! 

You Ain't Lie! 

ONE DAY LATER ... 

The Atmosphere In The Class Was Depressing Since Not One Gift Had Met Sis. Sobi's Exacting Standard To Be Called The Most Expensive Gift! 

Electric Micey Is The Last Person Presenting, And She Has Nothing In Her Hand! 

Sadie, You See That Move By Tricky-Mic!?! 

She Must Have Figured Out The Puzzle, Or She Has Resigned Herself To A Full-On "F" For Not Trying, Hadia! Look At Sis. Sobi's Face! 

Sis. Sobi, 

The Lord Gave Unto Us The Gift Of The Holy Spirit: This Gift Is A Kindness! 
The Holy Spirit Is The Good And Perfect Gift! 

In Our Sojourn In This Vale Of Tears, As Ambassadors For Christ, As Workers In The Vineyards And Fields Of The Master, We Are Called To Bless Our Fellow Sojourners With The Goodness, The Kindness Of The Lord In Us Because It Is The Right Thing To Do! 

Also, Unfortunately, Because It Will Be The Only Taste Of Heaven Many Of Them Will Ever Experience! 

Kindness Has No Cost, Cost-Sharing, Nor Write-Off Possibility! 

Kindness Uplifts, Helps, Heals, And Hands One Another Opportunity To Choose Christ As Their Everlasting Portion So That They Will See True Life, The Eternal Kindness Of Happiness In Our Father's Heavenly House Called Home! 

Kindness Is The Most Expensive Gift On Earth For Me To Give To Anyone Because It Cost The Father Everything To Give Me His Son, Who Gave Up His Life For Me And, After Rising Up To Life, Then Giving Unto Me The Holy Spirit, My Comforter ... Forever! 

I Choose To Freely Give Of That Kindness That I Am Daily Freely, Lovingly Given For In Blessing Another, I, Also, Am Again Blessed! 

Kindness Is The Gift That Gives Back! It's The Win-Win Gift! 

Thank You, Jesus! 

All Eyes Were On Sis. Sobi When She Suddenly Roared: 

"Tricky-Mic Wins The Challenge!" 

The Class Went Wild! 

When Bedlam Departed, Sis. Sobi Spoke Thusly: 

My Children, This Is How You Give The Most Expensive Gift That You Can Afford! 

You Can't Get Under It, You Can't Get Over It, You Can't Get Around It, And You Can't Cut Through It, But The Recipient Of Your Gift Of A Kindness Can And Will Receive The Needed Strength To Get Through One More Day Of Life Because Of It! 

Never, Ever, Permit Anyone To Encourage You To Cease Being Kind When They Call You A Do-Gooder! 

That Is High Praise, And It Is Good Currency In Your Book Of Remembrance ... In Heaven! 

Bedlam, Of The Goodly Sort, Reentered The Room! 

It Is Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Not Today!








The Answer Is The Same: Not Today Nor Any Other Day! 
I Will Not Be Purchasing A Membership To The Fire-Rage Association 
Nor Will I Be Wearing The Free Cheer Outfit For Club Virago! 

But, Why, Estalene!?! 
You'll Have A Whole New Family To Back You 
No Matter What, When, Where
Against Whoever And However It Becomes Necessary
Right And Wrong! 

We Don't Care About The Merits! 
We Only Care That You Are One Of Us! 
They Touch You, We Touch Them Hard! 
They Don't Speak To You, We Cuss Then Bad! 
We Are Viragos! 
Raise The Flags! 

Let Me Get This Straight, Bom Bastic! 
You Don't Care About The Truth! 
You Don't Care About Right Or Wrong! 
You Only Care About Oath And Allegiance! 

Yes, Yes, And Yes! 
I Already Told You That, Estalene! 
It's All About The Family! 

I Already Belong To The Family Of God
Mighty To Save, Sanctify, Bless And Glorify, Bom Bastic! 

Too Many Rules, Estalene! 
We Flit, Float, And Fly Free On The Wind Of Change! 
We Live By The Feels, The Sensations! 
It's All About The Experiences, The Adrenaline! 
We Like The Blow UP, UP, UP! 

I Now Understand What You Are About! 
I Now Get Your First Name: 
You Are The BomB, The Explosive Device
The Worker For Satan, The Devil
That Piercing Serpent, The Raging Lion, Beelzebub
The Lord Of Dung, The Engineer Of Sin
The One Who Caused Wicked Men To Kill My Lord Christ
The King Of Love, The Lord Of Life
The Savior Of All Mankind, Our Creator
Our Redeemer, Almighty God
The Judge Of All Flesh ... Who Is Very Much Alive
And Is Right Now In Heaven
In The Most Holy Place Of The Heavenly Sanctuary 
Interceding ... For Me! 

Thank You, Lord Jesus! 

Bom Bastic, You Need To Stop Being A Tick 
And Get Back To The Basics! 
My Lord Jesus, Your Creator, Will Intercede For You, Too ... 
If You Will Let Him! 

Wait, Wait, Wait! 
Hold Up, Estalene! 
What Do You Mean By "Intercede For Me!?!" 

He Doesn't Know Anything About Me Thing Or Care About Me! 

Wow! 
This Is Interesting, Bom Bastic! 
You Went Straight For The Intercede 
And Totally Ignored That Jesus Christ Died 
And Rose Up To Heaven! 

Isn't One Of Your Slogans:

 
"Live However You Want To NOW 
Because When You Die
YOU'RE Forever DONE!?!" 


Yes, Yes, Yes ... But I Ain't Never Know That 
Somebody That Ain't Know Nothing 'Bout Me 
Would Put Out For Me 
When I've Never Touched Eyes Or Hands On Him! 

That, Bom Bastic, Is Jesus Christ For All Mankind: 
Free Salvation For The Taking! 
Lay Down The Rubbish Of Sin 
And The Foolishness Of Doubt And Disbelief
And Reach For The Holy Hand That 
Brings Hope, Help, And Healing 
For The Body, Mind, And Spirit 
And, Best Of All, The True Family 
Built On Truth, Love, And Righteousness
Not Following Those Things That 
Only Trend Toward Sin, Sorrow
And Unimaginable Shame ... And Regret! 

Estalene, I Didn't Know Any Of This! 
I Have Longed For ... For Belonging
To Have A Home For My Head And My Heart
You Know, The Forever Home For Me! 

Well, Dear Bom, Let's Get Comfortable
Get Into This Bible, The Lord's Love Letter To His People
And We Will Talk, Read, And Learn About 
Our Living Home With Our Lord Jesus 
Who Is Calling You By His Sweet Holy Spirit! 

My Dear, This Is His Grace For You At Work! 
Embrace The Blessing! 

AMEN!!!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: What Is The Joyful Sound!?!












Do You, Do I, Really Know The Joyful Sound!?! 

Just Because We Can Do Anything To Get Something 
It Does Not Mean We Should! 

Beloved, 

Having Free Will 
And 
The Freedom To Choose To Do What You Want To 
... As A Free Agent ... 
Does Not Mean That You Should Do Whatever You Want To Do 
Because 
Exercising Free Will Is To Wield A Two-Edged Sword! 

Dear Ones, 

To A Person Who Chooses Not To Know 
The Way Of The Lord Jesus 
And 
Refuses To Walk In His Will 
... As Is Their Right And Privilege ...
Free-Will Becomes Like Purchasing A "Nice" Pen
Which Has A 240-Page Instruction Manual Containing 
A Boatload Of Provisions 
     And Conditions 
          And Exemptions 
               Plus A Void! 

In Short, It Becomes A Contract Written By Satan Himself! 

Fine Print, Anyone!?! 

However, As A Committed-To-Christ Christian
Free Will And Freedom To Choose 
Is
A Simple Follow-The-Lord 
And
Truly Live Freely ... Live True! 

Exodus Chapter 20 Aka The Ten Commandments 
And 
Matthew Chapter 5 Verses 3-12 Aka The Beatitudes 
Become The Way Of Life ... To Life Everlasting! 

The Lifestyle As Exemplified By 
Hollywood, Nollywood, And Bollywood 
Will Not Hold Any Attraction For A Saint Of God And Christ! 

Please Do Not Crown Yourself 
With The Joyful Sounds Of The Worldly Wise 
Because 
You Will Surely Drown Yourself 
In The Water From The Tearful Sobs Of 
The Sorrowing Known Unwise! 

The Joyful Sound
The Sound Of Jubilee
The Sound Of Freedom In Christ
Freedom From Sin
Because 
Of Jesus Christ's Sacrifice 
Is 
The Gift Of Almighty God! 

Remember, Dear Ones, That It Is 
The Way Of The Cross That 
Leads To The Truly Lavish Home 
In The Only Beautiful City! 

Only Jesus Christ The King Saves! 

What A Joy It Will Be To Hear 
The Joyful Sound Of His Voice Saying 


"Welcome Home, Children! 
Enter Into The Joy Of Your Lord!" 


Be Wise For Your Own Self: 
Ever Find Your Joy In The Voice Of Our Beloved Lord Jesus! 

Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Learning The Language Of The Saved!








Chubbles, You Won't Believe The Language That I Have Been Learning Lately! 

Do Tell ...! 

Girl, It Has Been Exciting And I Am Learning A Lot! 

But What Is ...!?! 

Chubbs, You Have Got To Learn This Language! 
It Sweet Fuh Days! 

But, Mavis, You Are ...! 

Will You Stop Interrupting My Flow!?! 
I Am Trying Real Hard To Tell You About This Need To Know Language 
In Which All Committed Christians Must Have Proficiency! 

I Would Love To Hear About It, Mavis! 
Say On! 

Well, Chubbs, I Was Talking To Carson 
And He Said That He Heard About It From His Cousin Aunt Husband 
Who Heard About It From The Pastor's Sister-Friend! 

Anyway, It Seems As Though All The Church Members 
Have Here Of Late Been Moaning, Groaning, And Complaining That 
If They Are So Blessed, How Come That Their Blessings Are So Few! 

Uh, Oh ...! 

You Said It Right! 
Anywho, Pastor Hisone Got Good And Tired Of 
The Members Behaving Like Agony-Aunts 
And He Read Them The Riot Act! 

Sufficed To Say, What The Pastor Said 
Lit A Fire Under Those People And It Is Spreading! 

What Is The Language, Mavis, The Language!?! 

Oh, Sorry! Pastor Hisone Told Those People That 
If They Learned To Speak Grateful And Stop Speaking Gimme
Maybe The Lord In Mercy Would Permit Them To Physically See 
More Of HIS BOUNTIES! 

Why Are You Shouting, Mavis!?! 

I'm Shouting Because I Was Blind! 
We Have Bibles, Don't We!?! 
Should A Pastor Have To Tell Us To Be Grateful!?! 
Doesn't The Word Say "Give Thanks!?!" 
You Can't Give Thanks With An Ungrateful Heart You Know! 

You Ain't Lie At All, Mavis
And I'm Guilty Of The Same Crime ... Ingratitude! 

Well, Let's Get Over Ourselves
And Be Grateful And Thankful Always
And Our Lord Jesus Will Bless Us 
And Give Us His Peace And Rest! 
AMEN!!! 

Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Touch-Starved!?!







 

Platonic Physical Contact!?! 

Yeah! It's A Thing! 

But Why!?! Isn't That What We All Do 
With Friends, Acquaintances And The Like, Chari!?! 

What I Want To Know Is 
Why There Is That Particular Modifier '"Platonic" Appended! 

Well, Let Me Tell You About It, Brown Girl! 

As I Understand It, This Desire For Platonic Physical Contact
Comes About A Result Of One Being Rendered "Touch Starved" 
After The Breakup Of An Intimate Relationship! 

Really, Colly!?! 

I Kid You Not, Bramble! 

So Whose Fault Is That!?! 

That's A Very Good Question, Youme! 

So Who Has The Answer!?! 

I'll Take A Stab At It 
But You May Not Like The Answer! 

Alright, Bamsee! 
Let's Hear What You've Got! 

We Are Christians, Right!?! 

Of Course We Are! 

And We Are, Or Should Be
In A Committed, Intimate, Relationship With Our Lord Jesus!?! 

Of Course We Are! 
That's The Foundation And The Backbone
The Head And Belly If You Will, Of Being A Christian! 

Nice Point, Phensic! 

Sooo, When You Are In This Committed And Intimate Relationship With The Lord
How Do You Have Or Preserve And Grow Your Relationship!?! 

Come On, Bamsee! That's An Easy Question! 

So What's The Easy Answer, Bramble!?! 

As If You Don't Know
We Reverently Say Our Prayers
Enthusiastically Sing Praises To His Holy Name
And Deliberately Read Or Listen To His Word
And Lovingly Think On And Speak About Him 
As We Remember His Goodness To Us 
And His Sacrifice For Us! 
That's A No-Brainer! 

So What Would Happen If, No, When We Neglect 
To Do All Of Those Things 
Noted In Your "No-Brainer" Answer, BRAMBLE! 

Bamsee, Like In Any Intimate Relationship
The Gentle, Gradual, Erosion Of The Intimate Points Of Contact 
Turns That Relationship Into Something Platonic 
But With A Nasty Twist Called "Friends With Benefits" 
That Is Decidedly One-Sided  ... 
Until  ... The Relationship  ...Ship Sails  
... To Parts Unknown!  
And  ...!?!  

In Hindsight, And With Regret, And Sorrow
Recognizing Our Sin Against Our Soul, Our Self
And The Savior Of Us All
We, Touch-Starved  ...!  

... Did You Have To Use That Horrible Phrase, Chari!?! 

Yes, Brown Girl! 
And, As I Started To Say
Instead Of Going Back To Jesus
We, Stubborn, And Resistant To Truth - Just Like King Saul - 
And The Calling Of The Holy Spirit
We Turn To Yearning For What Cannot Satisfy! 

We Turn To Seeking Out Platonic Physical Contact 
Aka Contact Without Commitment 
Aka A Berth, A Work-Station In The Devil's, The Deceiver's Workshop! 

Dear God, Help Us All! 

You've Turned This Whole Platonic Physical Contact Touch-Starved Thing 
Into An Indictment Against Us! 

Yes, Youme! 
I Told You That You Wouldn't Like The Answer! 

You Did And I Don't BUT Facts Are Facts 
And Reality Bites
The Pain Of Separation Hurts
And Truth Elevates! 

So, Are We Going To Do Right And Get Your Wrong Things Righted 
So That We May Live In The Light Of Him Who Is Our Peace!?! 

Do You Remember That Song, "Jesus, Lover Of My Soul, Let Me To Your Bosom Fly!?! 

Yes, Brown Girl! 
Let's Sing It! 
AMEN!!! 

Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: PRAYER: One Thing I Ask, Lord!

1 John 5:14 KJV
And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us:

PRAYER:

Dear Father, 

In The Name Of The Lord Jesus, I Ask A Boon! Please Help Me In All Things To Make You My Default Position! Help Me To Ever Seek And Hold You In My Heart As My Back-To-Base, Ignoring The Taunts Of Those Who Call Me And My Brethren "Christians!" As A Pejorative, An Insult! You've Told Us That The Day Will Come When We, Your People, Will Be Without Earthly Support And I Beseech You To Keep Your Promise, Not That You Need To Be Asked Since You Are The Promise-Keeping God, But Because I Need To Touch Your Hand, Your Heart, By My Word Of Faith In You And Your Almighty Power! Lord, We Need You, I Need You, And I Am Not Ashamed To Say It Or For Others To Know It! Father, Others Have Stood Up And Have Counted Themselves Resolute, Committed, Faithful To False Gods Which Neither See, Hear, Speak, Walk, Hold, Help, Or Heal And So, Today, Right Now, As In The Wedding Ceremony, In The Covenant Vows Before The Company Of Witnesses, I Pledge You My Troth And With Your Assistance, I Choose To Keep Myself Unto You Alone, Without Reservation While This Life Shall Last By Your Holy Spirit, The Comforter Of Us All, Who Leads Us Into All Truth! Father, I Have No Other God Save You, The True And Living God! I Have No Help But You, My Refuge And My Strength! I Have No Home Save Yours, Beulah Land, The Beautiful City, The Home Of The Faithful, Where Peace Dwells! I Am So Glad That My Lord Jesus Loves Me And I Am Glad That He Called Me From The Darkness Of Death Through Sin And Into His Marvelous Light Where Life Everlasting Is The Home Of The Soul! Lord, Lift Me Up! Help Me To Be Like Jeremiah To Say That Your Call, Your Will For My Life, Is Like A Fire Shut Up In My Bones! Be It The Altar Of Sacrifice Or Drawing The Plow To Break Up The Fallow Ground By Telling The Good News To Those For Whom The Lord Christ Died, Help Me To Serve Faithfully And With Patient Endurance No Matter The Cost! Help Me To Live My Life Uttering The Call And Basking In The Lover Of My Soul With The Immortal Words "Jesus Saves!" Please Grant Me My Request For I Ask It In My Gift Of A Portion Of Jesus Christ's Faith Which Cannot Fail! I Love You With My Whole Heart And, With Thankfulness And Gratitude, I Bless Your Holy Name For All Your Blessings On Me And The Brethren, And All Who Shall Be The Ultimate Inheritors Of Christ's Free To All Salvation! AMEN!!!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Jesus Christ Our Savior Cares!

Luke 24:17 KJV
And he said unto them, What manner of communications are these that ye have one to another, as ye walk, and are sad? 

You Are Sitting On A Train Heading For Home! 
You Have Some Papers On You Lap 
And Are Trying To Learn Something Important That 
Will Not Only Bless You 
But Will Most Assuredly Bless Another Person! 

The Learning Is Tough Going! 

Suddenly, Someone Sits Next To You 
And, Noticing Your Demeanor, Says: 
"I Notice That You Appear Confused! 
Are You Studying For An Exam!?! 
May I Help You!?!" 

You Say "Yes!" 
And The Stranger Looks At Your Textbook And Accumulated Papers 
And Then Confidently Asks You Pertinent Questions
Corrects Faulty Applications
And Then Tests Your Retention! 

At Your Station Stop, You Express Heartfelt Thanks 
For You Are Grateful And Feel Blessed! 

You Part Ways With The Stranger 
And Continue Your Journey With That Much Needed 
Confidence And Skill Boost! 

You Joyously Praise The Good Lord In Heaven! 

Beloved, 

This Is How It Is With Us As We Are On The Gospel Train 
While Heading To Catch The Only "To Glory" Train Home! 

Dear Ones, 

We Are Studying For The Greatest 
And Most Consequential Examination Of 
Our Short Event-Filled Lives! 

Most Aspects Of Our Test Prep Are Confusing 
Because 
Our Use Of Man-Made Applications 
To Answer Spiritual Problems 
Is 
Off-Base Until The Stranger From Galilee 
Sits Down Next To Us! 

Obviously Noticing Our Anxiety And Perplexity
He Politely And Oh, So Gently Asks: 

"May I Help You!?!" 

Our Lord Jesus Is Ever "The Gentleman" 
And 
Will Never Force His Attentions Upon Us! 

Brethren Greatly Beloved, 

We Need His Help, He Asks To Assist
We Say "Yes!", He Ably Assists Us In Every Domain
He Tests Our Acumen, We Pass The Trial
We Say "Thanks!"
We "Separate" 
And 
The Journey Continues
And 
We Do It Time And Again While Life Lasts
Or Until He Comes For Us In The Flesh 
And 
We Then See Him From Faith To Face To Face! 

We May Not Physically See The Lord Jesus Right Now 
But 
He Is Always There, Here, To Ably Assist Us! 

He May Not Obviously Sit Down Next To Us 
But 
We May Always, Always, In All Ways 
Call Upon Him And He Will Answer Us 
Because 
He Loves Us
And Died To Save Us
And 
Is Now In Heaven Interceding For Us 
Before Our Father 
In The Most Holy Place Of The Heavenly Sanctuary! 

Please, I Beseech Us All, Be Not Dismayed 
No Matter What The Adversary Of Souls
His Fallen Angels
Or His Deluded Human Agents 
Do To Cause Us Upset, Sorrow, Grief, Or Shame! 

None Of It Surprises Our Savior Dear 
Who Has One Thousand Ways 
As In An Infinite Number Of Ways To Save Us! 

We, At Any Given Moment, Only Need One! 

Beloved, 

Call On The Lord
Trust In The Lord
Walk With The Lord
And 
Live For The Lord
And 
At The Appointed Hour
Having Endured All For His Sake
You Will Live With The Lord In Beulah Land! 

For Your Love Of The Blessed Lord
Turn Away From Known Sin
And 
By Grace Through Faith 
Choose To Alienate Transgressions
And 
For Truth's Sake
Refuse To Permit Iniquity Aka Planned Sin To Know Life
And 
Keep To The Lord Who, Alone, Always Saves ... You! 

Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: God's Provision!

Psalm 23:5 KJV
Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. 
The Lord God Almighty Does Not Know How 
Or What To Provide For Us 
To Sustain Or Maintain Our Lives! 

Blasphemy, Harcourt, Rank Blasphemy! 

Oh, Be Quiet, Minky! 
You Have Been Around Harcourt Long Enough In These Sessions 
To Know Better! 
You Should Know By Now That 
He's Going Somewhere With This! 

I'm Sorry, Harcourt! 

Apology Accepted, Minky! 

As I Was Saying
The Lord God Almighty Does Not Know How To Set A Table 
Or What To Place On That Table For Us, To Bless Us! 

We Read In The Scripture Of Truth That 
He Simply Set A Table And Provided The Meal, The Feast
For The Hebrews In The Desert Of All Places 
Without Bre'king Up Fractions! 

So What Does That Have To Do With Us!?! 

Well, Actually, Everything, Mingus! 

What Do You Mean, Harcourt!?! 

Aren't We In A Desert!?! 

What Desert!?! 
We Are In An Air-Conditioned Room! 

Don't Be Obtuse, Carly! 

We Are In The Desert Of Sin Aka Lawlessness 
Where Iniquity Aka Planned Sin Abounds! 

Where Sin Abounded Aka Was Rampant
Grace Does Even More Abound Aka Is More Abundant! 

Great Point, Gully Boar! 

The Hebrews Wanted To Know If The Lord 
Could Set A Table In The Desert! 
The Lord Set The Table In The Desert For Them! 

How Could ... Why Would They Think To Dare Ask Such A Question!?! 

I'm Sorry To Have To Say It
But 
That's What Happens When You Choose To Live Through Your Feelings 
And Not Through The Evidences Of Plain Truth 
As Found In Jesus Christ Aka The Word Of God, Patrice! 

Brethren, 

We Have The Sovereign Lord As Our Savior
The Savior As Our Provider,
And 
This Same  Provider As Our Sustainer! 

Brethren, 

Please Let Us Not Besmirch His Holy Name
His Character
By Diminishing His Ability, His Love For Us
By Looking At Our Desert 
And 
Ignoring His Presence With Us And 
The Provision Already Demonstrably Delivered By Our Deliverer! 

Our Lord Jesus Christ Is Able
Like Abel Who Did What Was Right! 

Jesus Christ Our Loving Lord Does Right By Us ... His Beloved 
... His Called ... 
His Chosen From Among! 
Never Forget It! 

AMEN!!! 

His Peace Is Upon Us!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Hide And Buy!?!

1 Corinthians 16:13 KJV
Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, quit you like men, be strong.

The Old Saw Says That You Can Hide And Buy Ground 
But 
You Cannot Hide And Reap It! 

Let's Ask Ourselves This Question: 
Since The Lord Jesus Did Not Hide 
To Buy Us Back From Death, The Grave
And 
Damnation And Hell
Why Would We Believe It Is Okay To "Serve" The Lord On The Down-Low 
And 
Live With The Great Expectation Of Receiving A Key To The Eternal Kingdom 
With The Public Acknowledgement!?! 

Beloved, 

The Lord Neither Had Nor Has Secret Prophets
Teachers, Healers, Preachers, Nor Servers! 

There Has Never Been Nor Will Ever Be 
Secret Saints Or Undercover Overcomers! 

Question Again: 

Why Would The Lord Ask His People To Be Very Courageous 
And 
To Be Strong In Him And In The Power Of His Might!?! 

Beloved, 

Nobody Needs Courage To Hide 
But 
Any And Everbody Needs Courage And Strength To Endure
To Stand Alone ... Exposed
In The Gleam Of Bright Light 
And 
Under The Venomous Stench Of The Hostile Glare
The Precursor Of Iniquitous Intent! 

Dear Ones, 

Our Lord Is The Great I AM! 
With Him Ever With Us And Always For Us
There Is No Need To Fear What Man Can Physically Do To Us! 

Let Us Bow Before Our Lord Jesus ... In Godly Fear 
In Awe Of Him Who Can And Will Give Us 
... Who Obediently Choose To Endure The Walk Through The Dark Valley ... 
The Blessing Of Entry Into His Marvelous Light 
With Bodies Like His Own! 

Brethren, 

We Shall See Him As He Is For We Will Be Like Him 
And 
Be A Part Of The Clan Called The Family Of God! 

So, Then, Dear Ones, Strengthen The Weak Knees 
And 
Lift Up Your Heads 
And 
Live Victorious Lives ... In Him And
For Him
For He Was And Is For You, For Me, For Us! 

Jesus Christ Saves! 

Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Life In Christ!

Psalm 38:12 KJV
They also that seek after my life lay snares for me: and they that seek my hurt speak mischievous things, and imagine deceits all the day long.
The Devil Is The Liar 
And 
Those In His Employ Will Do All To Trip Us, Trap Us, And Terrorize Us 
If We Forget That The Lord Is For His People! 

Somebody With Nothing To Lose And Nothing To Gain 
Is 
Going To Dare Us To Go Against The Plain 
"Thus Saith The Lord!" 

Another Wicked One Who Despises 
Our Steadfast Love Of And Faithfulness To The Lord Christ 
Will Set Traps For Our Feet! 

And Still Another Will Play On What Things Are Known 
To Cause Humans To Tremble In Fear! 

Beloved, 

Christians Committed To Christ Are Made Of Sterner Stuff 
Because 
They Love The Lord
Trust His Word
And 
Have The Holy Spirit As Their Teacher 
Who Leads Them Into All Truth! 

Dear Ones, 

We Have A Plain "I Will Be With You Always!" 
To Envelop Us! 

We Have A Clear "Come Boldly To The Throne Of Grace!" 
To Draw Us! 

We Have An Unambiguous "They That Wait Upon The Lord 
Shall Renew Their Strength!" 

We Don't Need Strength To Sleep! 
We Need Strength To Struggle, To Fight
To Battle
And 
To Wage War Against Doubt, Despair
Sin, Self, And Satan! 

We Have Our Savior Who Has Won Us The Victory! 
Let Us Not Be Lax! 

Let Us Choose To Win Our Personal Battle Against Sin 
By Taking Our Daily Step To Christ! 

The Devil Is Damned: 
Let Your Sin Be On Him ... In Jesus Christ's Holy Name! 

Jesus Christ Is Our Everlasting Portion! 
I Bid You Jesus! 
Beloved, I Bid You Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Excelsior! Really!?!

Philippians 3:14 KJV
I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.

Bandy, You Should Be Feeling Quite Silly Right About Now! 

Why!?! 
What Did I Do!?! 

Exactly! 

Huh!?! 

You Didn't Do A Thing And That Is Your Problem! 

Oh, Brother! 

Tommy, If You Could See Your Way To Tell Him What You're Talking About 
And Stop Having It Be So Obscure
Perhaps He Could Defend Himself! 

Okay, Rudy! 

Alright, Bandy! 
Where Do You Work!?! 

I Work Right Here At Excelsior! 

And What Are You Always Talking About!?! 

I Talk About Excelsior! 

Yes, Bandy! 
Excelsior This, Excelsior That, Excelsior Will! 
Do You Know What Excelsior Means!?! 

Why Would I! 
It's Just A Name! 

Bandy, You Real Pitiful, You Know! 

Why!?! 
Because I Ain't Swallow A Dictionary Like You!?! 

Nope, Bandy! 
I Say That You Are Pitiful Because You Profess That 
You Are A Committed Christian
And 
You Are Always Belaboring Our Ears 
With The Topic Of Climbing The Ladder To Glory
Apostle Paul And Aiming For The Prize Of The Upward Call 
And Not Looking Back To What Was
But Focusing On What Will Be! 

Strangely, Though, You Have Not Seen Fit 
To Associate Your Christianity With The Meaning Of 
The Name Of Your Workplace! 

Tommy, Please Pardon Me For Asking
But How Do These Two Things Correlate!?! 

It's Simple My Young Friends: 
Apostle Paul Is Seeking The Prize Of The Upward Call 
And
Excelsior Means "Ever Upward!" 

Lord, Have Mercy! 

He Will! 
You All Refuse To Listen When I Tell You To Read A Book 
And To Understand That Nothing Is As It Appears! 

Tommy, You Are Right! 
I Feel Real Silly Right Now! 

No Need, Bandy! 
You Finally Got It Straight! 

Remember This Though:
Man Can Never Outrun The Lessons Of The Living Word! 

I Hear That! 

Peace!
