VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: A VERY GOOD DAY: Truth!

Next On Trial Is Truth!

Yeahhhhh! I Can't Stand Him!

Hang Him High!

Bury Him Deep!
He Needs To Be Put Down More Than Six Feet!

Truth, A Solemn Character

Stood Firm ... Dignified
Unwavering
Unruffled

Unconcerned

Unimpeachable!

He Needed No Lawyer
No high Price Legal Team
Had No Hangers On

And
No Entourage About His Presence To Fawn!

Lemme Holler At You ...

If You Give Yourself The Chance
Truth Will Grow On You
And
If You're Not Prejudiced Against Principles Deeply Held
You Will See That Truth Is Amazingly Beautiful

And

His Words Are Deeep!

If I Do Say So Myself
If You Will Listen And Really Hear
You Will Recognize That
Truth's Voice Soothes!
Truth Sincerely Edifies!

His Words Are Not Pie In The Sky!

Truth Is So Uplifting
So Ennobling
So En Pointe
That When You Truly Get Into Truth
You, Yourself, Get Into Truth!
No Lie!

He Doesn't Ever Raise His Voice!
He Is Never Ever Cross!
No One Attached To Truth Has Ever A Battle Lost
And
All Who Dare To Stand With Him
Shall ... By Appointment
Inherit And Enjoy
That That Is Eternal Youth

Purchased For Us

By Christ Jesus On Calvary's Cruel Cross!

I Don't Like Truth!
He Doesn't Do Half-Measures!

He's By The Book
And For The Son Who Is Pertinent 

To The Life Of Every One
And He Desires, Demands, Full Capitulation!
Anything Less
And From His Side You Must Run!

He Doesn't Seem To Understand The Concept Of
Tek A Lil' Bit And Praise God!

Pardon Me For Listening To Your Convo
But
That "Tek Lil' Bit And Praise God!" Remark
Isn't Going To Work For Truth
Because
Truth Is In The Eternal Employ Of
The Father And The Son!

He Is A Foundation Stone
And
He Does Not With Imposters, Poseurs
Liars, Cheats
Back-Door Creeps, Side-Winders
Back-Stabbers, Nor Loss-Leaders
Indulge In The Much-Vaunted Meet And Greet!

Who Asked Your Opinion!?!

Not A Soul!
This Is Your Lucky Day!
My Advice Is Free!
It Is As Gold!

Who Are You!?!

Glad You Asked!
My Name Is Faith!
Some People Call Me Hope!
I Wish You'd Just Call Me!
I Give People A Way With Life To Cope!

I've Heard About You!
You're Just As Bad As Truth ...!

... You Always Want All-In Cooperation!

What's With You People
And This Want It All Mentality!?!

Life Is Shaded
Black To White
Grey In Twilight
Orange, Blue, Green, Purple, Yellow!
Can't You Spot Some Slack
To A Weary, Wondering, Wandering, Fellow!?!

Can't Do It!
Won't Work! Can't Work!
That Thinking Is Flawed!

You Need To Grab Faith ... That's Me
And

Wisely Approach Truth ... Over There
And
Your Weary, Wondering, Wandering

- Destination Indeterminate -
Shall Immediately Cease!

Truth Frees!
Faith Heals!
Truth Combined With Faith
On The Path To The Good Life
Unerringly Reveals
The One Who Seals
Man 

Against The Madness Of Sin
And
Guides One To The Beautiful City
Where Only Those With The Perfect Right
May Really Boldly Walk On In!

Not Long Thereafter ...

Pervy!?!

Yes, Crystal Myth!?!

You Wanna Help Me Extricate Truth
From That Swing-Top Trash Bin!?!

You Know I Don't Want To
But ... I Must! 

I Will!
I Suddenly Have An Opening In My Calendar!
Truth Has Unexpectedly Become Relevant
So I, Instead, Have Time To Kill!

I Hope You Know That When You Kill Time
It Is Dead Time
Not Replaceable
Not Retrievable!

If You Mash It Up
There Is No Buy-Back
So You May Want To Take Back
Your Kill-Order Thrill!

Tatsy!?!

Yeah, Patsy!?!

It Must Be Terrible To Not Know An Irony
A Turn Of Phrase
A Play On Words!

Your Mumsy Must Have Dropped You On Your Head, Patsy!

Well, Yes, She Accidentally Did
But I Don't Get Your Drift!

Well, Let Me Spell It Out For You:

Truth And Faith Don't Play
And For Certain Sure
They Don't Play Games! 

Their Mission Isn't About Fun
Games, Fancy, Fantasy
Folly Nor Frolics!

They Deal In Eternal Pursuits!
Your Tiny Mind Deals In Time!

Okay, Okay!
No Need To Shout!
I Believe I Shall Have A Parlay
And Pick Them To Hear What Their
Book Of Doctrines Say!

Thank The Lord That For Words Of Wisdom
You Shall Surely Not Pay!

I Didn't Expect It
But Against All Odds
Today Has, Indeed, Been A Very Good Day!

Live With Truth

And

Practice Faith

And

Every Day With Jesus Christ

Will Be A Blessed, Blessed, Good Day!!

**--**--**--**

Trust Truth ... And Pray In Faith!!

**--**--**--**--**

Thought For The Week Ahead:

Only One With A Surrendered Will, Will Virtuously Wait On The All-Wise, All-Seeing, All-Knowing, Ever-Present, Feeling All Things, Holy God Who Blesses Abundantly! Will Your Will, Consumedly, Lovingly, Embracing Truth, And Death-Grippingly Clutching Faith, Enduringly Wait, Watch, And Work While Walking On The Strait And Narrow Way To Glory Unimagineable!?! 

PRAYER ... For Unlimited Confidence In The Eternal Holy God!

Oh, Lord Most Holy,

Healer Of The Helpless

Helper Of The Hopeless

Lifter-Up Of The Fallen

Forgiver Of The Sinful

Sealer Of The Saints

Redeemer Of The Righteous

And

Giver Of All Good Gifts

- I Thank You -

I Come Before You

Ever As A Blessed Child

So That I May Safely Pass Through

The Testing Carnal Strife!

Help Me, Lord

To Stand Firm In The Faith Of Jesus

And

Ever Trust The Living Word

So That I Don't Make My Life 

A Despising-Grace Disgrace!

Help Me To Trust My Master

In All Things  ... Through And Through

So That At The Appointed Time

I May Go Home And Live Forever

With You

And

The Faithful Brethren True!

Father,

I Ask The Favor

That You Help Me To Offer Prayers

And

Praise

With Real Understanding

So That I Am Not As Those 

Who Offer What Is Your Due

To Satan

That Wannabe-god

Highjacking-Almighty-God's-Worship Fraud!

Remember Me, Lord, In Mercy!

Pity Me, Lord, By Grace!

Bless Me, Lord, By Your Faithfulness

And

Keep Me In Your Care

So That I May Worship Before You

In Peace

In That Great And Awful Day!

Grant Me The Victory Over Sin

And

Enduring Faith

For

I Love You, Lord

And

I Bless You

And

I Say All In That Worthy Name

The Name Of The Beloved Christ Jesus!

AMEN.
