There Is No Wrong In Right Living!

 


Beloved, 

Rejoice! 

The Fact That The Creator, Our Savior And Redeemer
Is 
Willing To Try Us, To Test Us
To See If We Are Worthy To Be Forever Members Of 
The Family Of Almighty God 
Should Cause Our Joy In Jesus To Bubble Up And Over-Flow! 

Dear Ones, 

When You Think Of The Tests Of This Life 
As You Would A Car Being Test-Driven 
To See If It Checks All Of The Boxes On Your Deal-Breaker List
You Will Lovingly Understand 
Totally Appreciate
And 
Willingly Accept That The Way Of The Lord Is Perfect 
And
Is An Infinite Blessing Upon You! 

The Lord Knows That Righteousness ... Right Living
Exalts Aka Lifts Us Up ... To Him
And 
Only Those Who Humbly Accept The Call To Rise Up Higher 
To Meet His Known And Unchangeable Standard Of 
Holiness Unto God 
Shall Enter The Holy City Of God! 

Beloved, 

Let's Understand And Never Forget That 
Jesus Christ Died To Save Us From Our Sins 
And 
No One Choosing A Life Of Wickedness And Violence 
Will See Him In Peace! 

Almighty God's Law Is Immutable
His Love For Us Is Everlasting
His Hatred Of All Sin Is Inviolable
And 
His Desire To See Us, His Children, Enter His Haven Of Rest Is Infinite! 

By The Way, Our God, The Almighty God
Equips Us To Accomplish All That He Asks Of Us! 
We Are Not Alone! 
Keep Pressing On! 

Peace!

Park Your Faith On First Foremost And Forward!




There Is No Fear In Faith 
And
There Is No Faith In Doubt! 

Beloved, 

We Serve The Holy God
The God Who Sees, Hears, Feels, Cares
And 
Loves Us With The Love That Went To 
And 
Conquered Death 
And 
Is Still Alive And Loving Us
And 
Is Working All Now 
To Save Us Who Are Willing And Eager To Be Saved! 

When Our Eyes Open Each Day
We Are Already Equipped With Faith 
For That Day Alone
To Trust In The Lord Christ Alone
And 
To Live For Him Alone! 

We Do Not Have To Go On A Dangerous Expedition 
To Find Faith To Trust Our God! 

All We Have To Do 
Is 
Decide
Make The Call
And 
Start Walking! 

The Decision To Trust Our Lord Jesus 
Puts The "Amen!" After The Deed To Be Completed 
Before 
It Is Even Started! 

Dear Ones, 

Please Remember That Simple Faith
The Gift Of The Eternal God 
To Finite Man Made In His Image, And After His Likeness
Mooooves Mountains Great, Middling, Or Small
And
Levels The Annoying Molehills 
Sure To Pop Up In Our Daily Lives! 

Please, I Beseech Us All
Reach For The Extended Hand Of Help And Healing 
And
By Your Gift Of Daily Faith Received
Dare To View The Promised Land! 

Almighty God Is Ever Near! 

Please Do Not Allow Anybody 
To Steal Your Joy In Our Christ Jesus: 
Park  Your Faith On First, Foremost And Forward! 

Peace!

SAFE Aka Safely Abiding In The Father's Establishment!







Safe At Home! 
What A Wonderful Expression! 
What A Heart-Felt Need! 
Are You Safe At Home!?! 
Are You Feeling The Need!?! 

Alas, Beloved, There Is Safe 
And 
Then There Is SAFE
Aka Securely Abiding In The Father's Establishment! 

This World Is Not Our Home 
So Safe In The Spiritual Sense Tells Us Clearly That 
We Should Not Feel Too Comfortable Here 
Or Dare To Rest Without Our Dear Savior Near! 

Lest We Forget ... Or Neglect To Remember
We Are In Enemy Territory 
And 
We Will Do Well To Remember 
The Old Saying That You Should 
"Sleep With One Eye Open 
And Your Hand On Your Trigger!" 

Our Eyes Must Be On Our Captain-Commander 
And 
Our Hearts Must Be Always Set To Pray! 

Are You A Praying Person 
On The Side Of The Lord Christ 
Or 
Are You An Agent Of Chaos
A Deceitful Bow Bent Straight And True 
But
Pulling To The Left 
And
Determined To Give Others Stress!?! 

Stop! 
Look At Yourself! 
Determine Who Is Your True Leader! 
Understand The Truth About The Home 
To Which You Are Being Led 
And
Ask Yourself The Penetrating Question: 
"Will I Be Safe In That Space!?!"
Aka "Is That House A Good Home!?!" 

Are You Headed Toward The Perpetual
The Infinite
The Everlasting Safety Of 
The Heavenly Home!?! 

Are You Holding On To Our Dear Lord's Unchanging Hand!?! 
Are You Resting Under The Everlasting Arms 
Where None May Steal Your Joy 
Or Make You Afraid!?! 

There Is No Safety In Or With Man In Control! 
Think On These Things! 
Salvation Is Safety: Jesus Christ ... Alone ... Saves! 
Peace!

Chosen, Purchased, Wooed ... And Won!

 

 







Never Doubt Almighty God's Personal Love For You 
And 
Never Be Doubtful As to Whom You Belong! 

Beloved, 

We Are Loved By 
And 
Belong To The Lord Of Life 
Because 
We Were Chosen By His Heart
Purchased By His Blood
And 
Wooed By That Holy Love Which Will Not Let Us Go 
To be Lost To Sin! 

Jesus Christ Ever Willing
The Holy Spirit Ever Working
The Holy Angels Ever Protecting 
And
We ... Seeing Our Need 
And
Realizing Our Personal Peril Outside Of His Safe Fold 
And
Desiring His Love In Our Own Hearts
Our Hands In His
Our Rest In His House
Our Wealth In His Storehouses In Glory
Our Peace In Himself
Our Rest Where He Is
Our Faith Made Sight
And
Our Blessings Made Eternal
Let Us Choose To Cooperate With Christ
- With His Love Divine -
To Be Won To Be Eternally Blessed
And 
Saved! 

Let Us Daily Choose To Wear Our Ownership
Our Belonging
Our Relationship To Our God 
Privately
And 
Publicly 
And 
Passionately! 

Beloved, 

Claim ... And Relish 
The Love That Works At Loving You 
And 
Let No Created Being
Seen Or Unseen
Spirit Or Flesh
Steal Your Joy In Your Lord ... Your Love
The Soon-Coming King! 

Daringly War Against Known Sin: 
Fight The Good Fight Of Faith! 
Pursue Peace With Shiloh, The Prince Of Peace!

HAVING HOPE AND FINDING JOY: Seeking After Christ Jesus!

What's There To Be Happy About
When There Is Much About Which To Sad!?! 
What's There To Have Hope About 
When We See Nothing About Which To Be Glad!?! 

My Dear Friend
You Are Way Too Young To Be So Cynical ... So Jaded
And
Have Too Much To Look Forward To
To Have The Doings Of The Wicked World
The Happenings In This Vale Of Tears 
To Cause The Light In Your Life To Become Muted ... Faded! 

When We Look In
Look Around
Look About 
And
To The Ground Stare Down
We Neglect To See
The Bright Shining Light Of Holy Life
Who Is Even Now Calling 
Beckoning
To You And To Me! 

Our Lord Has Said:

Look Up! Your Redemption Draws Nigh!

He Has Also Said:

Trust Ye In The Lord Forever!
Buy The Truth And Sell It Now!
Don't Worry!
Don't Doubt!
Believe The "Thus Saith The Lord!
Your Redemption Is Coming Down!

Do You Believe Him
His Word
His Promises!?! 

Yes, I Do But ...! 

... Stop Yourself Right There! 
Butting Is For Own-Way, Hard-Ears, Goats!
You Are An Obedient Sheep ... Yes!?!

Yes ... Yes! I Am Being ... Striving To Be Obedient!

If That Is Indeed The Case
Please Hold Fast To The Cross Of Christ
And
Listen Very, Very, Carefully
As I Share Psalm 119 Verses 49 And 50:


Image result for psalm 119:49-50 kjv



We Have The Promise From The Lord That
He Will Never Forget Us
So Do Not Fear ... Do Not Indulge In Ungodly Fear!

Beloved, 

We Do Not Walk Alone
Nor Are Left Alone
To Strive And Survive On Our Own!

If We Were Truly Left On Our Own
We Would Be Left To Trust Clouded, Lying, Carnal Eyesight
But
We Have An Infinite God With Eternal Sight
And
We Have An Anchor, A Hope, For Our Souls
In Jesus Christ ... The Rock Of Ages! 

Please Consider That The Person Who Has No Hope 
Will Willingly Destroy Others ... And Themselves 
But 
We Who Choose To Believe The Living Word Of 
Jesus Christ The Righteous
- The Lord Of Earth And Glory - 
Have Our Patient Waiting Embossed With
And 
Embalmed By
Truth That Preserves The Believing Soul From Despair 
And 
Hopelessness! 

Beloved, You Are Greatly Beloved
And
Because Of The Sacrificial Love Poured Out On Us
We Wait On Our Lord Christ With Hope 
Because 
We Believe That He Is A Truth-Speaking
Promise-Keeping
Heart-Cleansing
Life-Preserving
Future-Holding
God Of Love Granting Grace 
Who Has Mercy For Each One Of Us Personally! 

Do You Believe This!?! 

Yes, I Do!

Do You Believe It In Your Head 
Or Your Heart!?!
Do You Believe It Intellectually, Emotionally
Philosophically 
Or Aspirationally For Love Of Our Lord!?! 

I ... I ... I Never Really Thought Deeply About It ...!

... And That, My Dear Friend, Is Where Trouble Starts!

Faith In Jesus Christ
Walks A Straight Line!

We, As Christians, Cannot Permit Man's Philosophising
And
Crass Emotionalism
And
Intellectual Gymnastics
To Dictate How We Feel Our The Living God!
Everything To With Our Holy God
Is
By Faith Which Comes From Trusting The Holy Word
Which Is A Transcript Of 
The Character Of The Eternal God Whom We Worship
And
By Our Choosing To Experience The Lord
According To The Preserved Word!

The Lord: The Same
Yesterday, Today And Forever!

By Jesus Christ ... Alone
We Live And Breathe 
And 
Have Our Being! 
Please Remember Whose Child You Are
And
Look Up!

Please Keep Hope For Health And Heaven Alive
By Keeping Your Heart Fixed On Christ Jesus 
Who Alone Heals, Saves, And Seals
And
Always Reveals His Way To His Believing Children!
Keep Your Holy Faith Bolstered: Pray On!

HAPPY SABBATH + Contentment!?!





The Sorrows Of This Life
Are Myriad
But
The Joys Reposing In Christ Jesus
Are Infinite! 








How Many Of Us Can Truly Say 
When We Are Short Of Money, Food
The Comforts Of Life
Personal Peace, Quiet, Rest
Pleasant Work
Or Even A Loving Relationship: 


"I Am Contented In Christ!?! 

Do You Remember To Say Likewise 
When All Is Well!?! 

Is Your Contentment From Having Things 
Or From Personally Knowing Jesus Christ Our Lord!?! 

Can You Recognize The Difference!?! 

Let Me Make It Perfectly Plain That
What Jesus Has For You, Is Yours: 
He Always Blesses No Matter How Things Look Or Feel! 

I Encourage Us All
To Stand On His Sure Promises
And 
To Be At Peace! 
Jesus Christ Is Caring For Us
And
Abundant Blessings Await All His Believing Ones! 

Let Me Point Out Here For Us All That
Contentment Is A Godly Attribute 
Which Is An Indicator Of 
Our Faith And Trust In The Living God 
To Be Our Provider!

AMEN!!!

That's A Whole Sermon That You Just Preached!

Truth Must Be Completely Told, Though, Brethren!
Contentment Is Scarce All Around 
Because 
People Don't Know The Real Jesus 
And 
Do Not Understand "This Faith Thing" 
That We Practice 
As They So Disdainfully Call It!

I Ain't Practicing!
I'm Living By Faith!

I'm With You!
This Is The Last Over Of The Game
And Jesus Christ Is Coming
And That Satan Is Bowling Bouncers
With Live Ammunition!

You Got That Right!
This Ain't No Practice Game!
This Is Do Time!

Jesus Christ Gives Unto Us 
- The Word Says Every Man -
The Daily Gift Of Faith
- Believers Use It To Cope With Life -
And
Since Multitudes Have No Faith
Because 
They Don't Know King Jesus
All Around Us Is Disarray
Sorrow, Discontentment
Murder, Mayhem, Spiritual Bankruptcy 
Carnality, Criminality And Conspiracy
And
The Real Problem Children Called 
And 
Known As 
Debilitating Doubt And Damnable Disbelief! 

A Lil' Bit Of Jesus Surely Soothes The Savage Heart! 

A Life Lived In And For Christ Jesus 
Makes The Pains Of Human Existence Easier To Bear! 

Indeed
And
With Your Kind Permission
Here Are Some Words To Live By
Which Will Settle This Matter
Once And For All
For Us All:


I Have Faith 
So I Am Trusting My Lord Jesus 
Who Daily Gives Me His Faith 
So That I Will Daily Trust Him
By Daily Having His Gift Of Faith
Which Daily Causes Me To Daily Trust Him!
It's A Beautiful Circle!

All In All A Good Day's Blessing!

Nice Circle!

Hear, Hear!
I Sincerely Thank Our Father In Heaven That
There Are No Angles In Or To Our Jesus!

Preach It, Brother! 

You Are All So Correct!
When I Look Around
I See The Detritus Of Lives Lived By False Gods
False Teachings From False Teachers
And Broken Promises
Because Of All The Angles Useful ... Supposedly
To Find Happiness Aka Contentment!

It Makes A Big Man Want To Cry!

Let Me Repeat, My Peoples
Contentment 
Is Only Found
In Jesus Christ The Lord!
Any Other Way ... Or Mode To Contentment
Is
Compliments Of Satan The Adversary
That Lying, Murdering, False God!

People!
Hope In The Lord!


Bless Yourself
Aka Make Yourself Truly Happy
By Pleasing Almighty God!

HAPPY SABBATH + PRAISE: What's In Your Life's Permanent File!?!






Fidelity!
Integrity!
Love!
Unkind Words!
Ungodly Deeds!
Doubt!
Hope For Heaven!
Grateful Praise!
Thanksgiving!
Gainsaying!
Distrust!
Joy In Jesus!
Sacrifice!
Working Faith!
Commitment To Christ!
Presumptuous Playing With The Demonic Device!
What's In Your Life's Permanent File!?!
Is There Godly Fear!?!
Good Things!?!
Bad Things!?!
Do You Even Care!?!

You Work For The Master!
You Stand On The Solid Rock!
You Bless God For His Blessings
But
His Praise You Hold Back!

You Believe That You Are So Wise!
You Know The Inside Track
But
You Are Playing The Dry Stick
With Bold Adversary Satan
And
Self-Deception And Temptation
Are Lit Matches!


Did Someone Just Yell:
"FIRE!?!"

You Praise Self For Almighty God's Blessings!
You Praise Others Who Also Receive The Heavenly Gifts
But
You Think Not To Praise The Heavenly Provider
Even Though You Know Your Blessings
Come From No Other!

Self Is The Sinner!
Ingratitude Is The Curse!
Ignorance Is No Off-Shoot
And
Heads-Up:

Blessings That Bless
- Left Unacknowledged, Unappreciated -
Can Turn Around
And
Also Curse!


Humble Yourself!
Lower Your Height!
Give The Living God His Glory
And
Praise
And
By Practiced Obedience
Enjoy Length Of Days!

Praise Is Comely!
Don't Permit It To Be A Phase!
Inhale!
Let Your Tongue And Your Teeth Have Words
And
With Gratitude Being Your Wind
Give The Good Lord Great Praise!
It Will Never Be A Waste!
