Repentance Aka The U-Turn Of Life!

Repentance ... Just Like A U-Turn

Is 

Progressive! 

It Is A Change Of Mind 

Caused By A Change Of The Heart 

Which Leads To A Change Of Action Aka Direction! 

Beloved, 

There Was Once A Time When We Would Say That 

A Repentant Sinner Did A 360° Turn! 

This Was Until Wisdom Prevailed 

And 

Understanding Dawned 

And 

Knowledge Spoke Up And Noted That 

A 360° Turn Is A Circle 

Which Meant Doing As One Always Did 

But That 

A 180° Turn Resulted In A Complete Change Of Direction! 

Hallelujah, Wisdom! 

Thank You, Lord, For The Cautionary Tale Which Says: 

In All Your Getting

 Get Understanding! 

We Are Grateful, Lord

For The Knowledge Which Increases! 

Dear Ones, 

Turning Around ... Changing Direction

Without Having Your Chosen Life-Style Turned Upside-Down 

Changes Absolutely Nothing! 

Genuine Repentance Aka Repentance Of The Godly Sort

Means That Friends, Associates, Relationships

Tastes, Likes, Dislikes

And 

Our Reservation For Our Final Port Of Call 

Must Change! 

We Can No Longer Call Upon Christ 

And 

Do Like The Devil! 

Calling Upon Christ For Saving Truth 

And

Deliberately Acting Upon It 

Changes Our Life

Our Life-Style

And 

Our Character! 

Jesus Christ The Lord

Is 

The Truth 

And 

Living By And In The Truth 

Means Living For Our King Jesus! 

Let's Think About It! 

Let's Earnestly Pray About It

And

Let's Wisely Act Upon It 

Because 

Our Personal Future Depends Upon It! 

Peace!

Living For Jesus Christ Now

Is

Living A Life

That

Has Only Just Begun!

Walk The Lonesome Road With Faith!

There Is Faith That Knowledge Brings 

And

There Is Knowledge That Faith Brings! 

With The Unfailing Faith Of Jesus Christ

We Are Able To Take The Knowledge 

In The Preserved Word Of God

And

With The Confidence Gained From The Truth

Dare To Burn All Known Bridges To Sin 

Without Doubt And Fear 

And

Walk On The Strait, Straight, And Narrow Path To Glory 

As Marked For Us By Our Blessed Jesus! 

Beloved, 

Though Weary

Be Wary Of Those Who Tell You That 

Following The Unseen God 

Is 

As Tilting At Windmills Aka Foolishness 

Because 

There Is No Visible Man-Profit! 

If The Tilters And The Cheap-Talkers 

Knew The Living God 

Who Created The Wind 

Which Pushes The Windmill 

Which Produces The Energy That 

Man Needs To Grind His Grain 

To Make His Bread 

To Feed His Body 

And 

Make Him Strong To Serve His Creator

And 

Make A Living To Meet His Needs

They Would Know Who To Fight

Who To Follow

And 

Who To Forget! 

Knowing How To Use Knowledge 

Is 

Real Power! 

Brethren, Beloved

When Satan Cracks His Whip In Your Life

Crack A Smile

Say A Prayer

And

Crack Open The Living Word Of Truth 

And

Then Humbly Walk Wisely On The Lonesome Road To Glory 

With Jesus Christ The King Of Glory 

Who, Alone, Saves! 

Peace!  

Blessed In Sin!?! Really!?!

 

"If" 

Is 

A Condition Of Performance

So Let No One Fool You: 

The Blessings Of The Lord Are Conditional Upon 

Our Willing Obedience To His Word Which States His Will 

And 

Encourages Us To Walk In His Ways! 

Adam And Eve's Residence In The Garden Of Eden 

Was Maintained By Their Obedience To The Word 

Not To Eat Of The Tree Of The Knowledge Of Good And Evil! 

They, Instead, Took The Word Of A Lying Snake

Behaved In A Satanic Way

And 

Were Chased Out Of Eden 

Never Again To Walk Peacefully In The Cool Of The Day 

With Their Creator, Lord, God, And Glorious King! 

Beloved, 

The Sin Of Disobedience Brings With It Deflection 

Aka The Ready Willingness To Blame Others For Our Cockups: 

The Devil Can't Make You Do Anything! 

There Is This Rubbish Statement That 

Is 

Uttered To Impress The Impressionable 

And 

The Untaught, The Unlearned, In The Ways Of The Living God: 

"Look At Me! 

Envy Me! 

I Have Lots Of Stuff! 

I Am Truly Blessed By The Lord!" 

Know This ...

Holiday Turkeys Have Lots Of Stuff In Them 

And 

They Get Eaten! 

Fancy Stores Have Expensive Stuff In Them 

And 

They Get Robbed 

... And ... 

Having Lots Of Stuff In Your House 

And 

No Peace With Almighty God 

And 

No Love For Others In Your Heart 

Is 

A Curse! 

May Jesus Christ Bless Us All With Humility, Wisdom

And 

Understanding To Rightly Use Available Knowledge 

To Gain The True Heavenly Blessings! 

Peace!

Earthly Stuff Cannot Enter

The Eternal City!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Who You Calling A Fool!?!

I Wonder How Many Of Us Have Really Thought About
Who A Fool Really Is
And 
What It Means To Be A Fool!?!

We All Grew Up Hearing People Being Called
And 
Calling People Fools
And 
Telling People They Were Doing Foolishness 
Or Were Acting The Fool
Or Were Fooling Around
And
When Asked How We, Ourselves, Are Doing, Saying:
"I Still Here ... Foolish!" 

As Of Today, Belove
It Must Cease Because 
- As The Holy Word Declares -
The Fool Is One Who Contends With Almighty God 
Expressing Their Disappointment 
And 
Disapproval Of Him!
That Is A Gravely Serious Charge! 
It Is The Lord, Himself, Knows The Heart Of Everyone Of Us:
He, Alone, Is Judge!

The Living Word Also Declares That 
The Fool Is The Same One Who Says In His Heart That 
"There Is No God!" 

How Does The Fool Breathe!?! 
Does He Even Know From Whence His Breath Comes!?!

We, As Christians
Believe In The Almighty God 
And 
Unless Or Until A Person Of Our Acquaintance 
Boldly Declares That There Is No God
We Cannot Paint Them With That Color 
Or Brand Them With That Name:
It Is Not In Our Pay Grade! 

Let's Make Sure That
We Are Not Fools Ourselves!

The Facts Are Plain ...

There Will Be No Fools In Almighty God's Heaven 
And 
I Beseech Us All To Tell A Brother, A Sister
Family, Friends, And Acquaintances That 
Almighty God - Father, Son And Holy Spirit - Is Real!

When You Willfully Choose

To Reject The Love Of God

You Also Willfully Choose

To Face The Justice Of God!

Almighty God 
Is 
The Lover Of Our Souls 
And
The Judge Of All Flesh
And 
We Must 
And 
Will Give Account To Him 
For All That We Think, Say 
And 
Do! 

Note To File ...

None Of Us Can Any Longer Claim Ignorance
Because
We Are Warned 
And 
Have No More Reason
To Call Anybody A Fool!
Jesus Christ, Himself, Warned Against Doing This! 

We Have Received Knowledge: 
May The Lord In Mercy
Grant Us His Gift Of Wisdom
- Which He Asks Us To Request -
And 
Understanding 
So That The House Which We Are Building 
May Be Established! 
Peace Be Upon You! 

The Estate Of The Fool

Is Not One To Be Envied

Because

The Fool Finds Pleasure

In Doing What Is Known Evil

And

Evil Is Its Own Reward!

  

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

Be Ye Wise Unto Soul Salvation!

From Head Knowledge To Living Wisdom!

Okay, Guys!
Let's Chew On This For A While:

What Are You Hearing, Seeing, Understanding?!

Well ...
The Text Speaks For Itself
And It Tells Its Own Story!

To My Mind
It Is A Stairway
To Surpassing Glory!

Go On!
Tell Us More!

Very Well!
It Is Like This:

If Something Is True
It Will Be Honest!

If Something Is Honest
It Should Also Be Just!

Just IS Justice IS Just!
It Must Contain Elemental Fairness!

When Something Is Just
It Will Also Be Pure!

Purity Contains No Taint!
It's Wholesome, Clean!

AND ...

Because Something Is Pure
It Is Ever Lovely!
Think Pure And Undefiled
As In ...

Something That Is God-Given Lovely
Is Worth My Speaking aka Reporting On It!

If Something Is Worth Speaking About
There Must Be Virtue ie., Strength And Power Behind It!
Think Of Jesus And The Woman With
The Issue Of Blood!

I Like That!

Very Good Point!

And, Finally ...

Because Praise
- Blessing -
Comes Of The Holy God
For Right Doing
Right Living
Right Thinking
Right Speaking
Righteousness
We Should Think Aka Dwell Upon
These Few Things
Which Will Hail Us Before The King
Who Is
Creator Sustainer
Savior Redeemer
Help Hope
Teacher Guide!

This Word Is Strong!
This Word Is True
AND
As Touching Christ Jesus
It Takes Virtue ie., Strength And Power
From Him
AND
Imparts Hoped-For-Healing
To Me And To You!

Well Done!
I Have Nothing To Add To That!
May Our Almighty God

Grant
That Knowledge Turns To Understanding
And Understanding To Wisdom
So That We

May Indeed Be Wise
Unto Sure Salvation!

AMEN!!

That Was Really Nice!

Indeed!

The Bible Explained
- Explains -
Itself!!

Climbing Jacob's Ladder!

Jesus Christ The Savior

Brought Divinity Down To Earth!

Jesus Christ The Redeemer

Took Humanity Up To Heaven!

Jesus Christ The Righteous

IS

The Only Way To Get Up To The Father!

Jesus Christ The Sovereign Lord

Our Only King

Creator God

Master Of Everything

IS

Our Ladder

Our Stairway

To The Heavenly Home!

I Am Climbing Jacob's Ladder!

I'm A Soldier Of The Cross
AND
I'm Clinging Unto Christ Jesus
So That My Soul Will Not Suffer Loss!

Of My Own Self
I Can Do Nothing
Whereby I May Save My Own Soul
For
All That I Do
Is Tainted By Sin
Selfishness
AND
Disobedience
'Tis True
AND
This IS Why Man Cannot
Of His Own Merit Get To God's Heaven
AND
This, Therefore
Is My Appeal To You:

Deny Self
AND
The Liar Bold Vain!
Deny Self
AND
Get God's Glory
To Remove From You Sin's Shame!

Deny Self
Though The Dying World Call You Lame
AND
Heap Upon You
Maledictions
AND
Other Words Gross Profane!

Disobedience Brought
Brings
The Curse
Often Towed By A Hearse!
Obedience Brings Blessing
Because Jesus Christ
IS
The Only Answer
That Reverses The Curse!

Man Is Not Mighty
AND
Neither Is He Strong
AND
He Needs The Redeemer Creator Sustainer Friend
IF
He Desires Residence In Heaven
At Time's Promised End

Coming Before Very Long!

Be Not Wise In Your Own Conceit
Practicing Known Vile Deceits!
Let Not Vanity Cause You To Be Profane
BUT
Let Wisdom Be The Principal Thing
AND
Let Knowledge True
In The Great Day
Cause You By God's Spirit
Within The Gates Of Heaven
The Overcomers' Song Of Victory Over Sin
Triumphantly Sing!

Jacob's Ladder

Led Up

Came Down!

Prayers Go Up

AND

Blessings Come Down!

Trust The Living Word!

The Writer Holy

Is Soon To The Earth Coming Down!

PRAYER: Oh, Lord, Haste The Day!

From You In Fleshly Fear
Do Not Backslide!
Blind My Carnal Eyesight
And Grant Unto Me
True, Seeing, Spiritual Eyes!

Father,

Please Let My Knowledge Of You

Be Not Theoretic!

Teach Me
And

Grant Me The Telling Experience, Lord

So That I Can Truly Testify
Without Fear Of Contradiction

That I Personally Know You!

Father,

I Desire To Walk

In The Faith Of My Jesus!

I Eagerly Accept Daily Grace And Faith!

Grant Me Courage

For My Long Journey

And

Strength

So That I Will Go The Distance

And

Not Turn Back

Half Way
Nor Almost There!

Oh, Lord
With The Believer's Heart
Christ's Faith
And
Hope For Your Glory

I Fully Expect The Holy Angels

To Be My Cherished Companions
And

I Totally Look To The Holy Spirit

In Me To Abide!

I Am Mere Dust

Prone

To Falls Into Folly

But

In The Name Of Jesus

With My Mustard Seed In My Heart

With Hope For Glory My Tide

With Joy In The Lord

My Marching Song

Oh, God, Most Holy

Haste The Day

For

I Long To See My Jesus

With My Own Two

No Longer Cloudy

But Bright

Eyes!

I Love You, Lord!

AMEN.

Only Difference Being
A For-Real Flesh-Eater

Just Eat

We Shall Have A Good Testimony
A True Truth Story!

Those Three Heathens 

Know Not God

There Is No Comeuppance!

Talk Yuh Talk!!

I Pity The Fool
Who Stands Against God
Believing The Liar
And
Claiming
The Reward Of The Fraud!

I Trust In The Living God!

I'm With You On That!

Good Christian

Good Christian

I heard one day of Good Christian

And for a moment I couldn't understand

If over there Good Christian see

Then over yonder Bad Christian be.

Good Christian as we're sure to know

Is gentle, helpful, no worldly flow

Means then Bad Christian is likely

Suffering chronic, and putting on a hyper-show.

Good Christian is eager, approachable too

Bad Christian suffers lassitude and ingratitude, who knew?

Good Christian has fine morals he wears like a skin

Bad Christian – catch him offside – he swears at his kin!

Good Christian seeks to his wisdom share

Bad Christian shows knowledge with so great a flair

Good Christian exhibits a right kindly glow

Bad Christian never fears to tell who he knows.

I tell you all this so that you would know

Wherever the rabbit, the fox it will show!

Good Christian, Bad Christian, the wheat and the tare

Together, a-growing, same garden they share!

Our Bible tells us to watch the fruit

Because a bad tree never a good fruit seed

Bitter water cannot good water contain

And hot mout' will speak what cold heart enchain!

So when you see Christian Good and Bad

Look to Jesus, and then be glad

For Gentleness, goodness, and honesty, see right

In the mien of him who is following the Light! **BJC**

THEY CAN'T HIDE!
