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!?!

Psalm 74:22 Arise, O God, plead your own cause: remember how the ...



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!


Father,
As A Child
I Come Before Thee
Confessing And Repentant
And Beseech You, Please
Pardon Me From My Sin!

Please Give Unto Me
The Power To Deny The Liar
And
In The Name Of Jesus, Lord
Please Grant Me Your Peace Today
Even Though At My Poor Feet
Satan Lit Himself
A Raging Bonfire!

Father,
I Have Been Foolish!
Teach Me To Be Wise!
Grant Me Wisdom's Understanding
To Use The Knowledge
That For Me
You Did Provide!

Help Me To Not Yield
To The Terror Seen Of My Eyes
So That I
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.

Reward Of The Fraud! + PRAYER: Father, Avenge Us Of Our Adversaries!




I Was In Life Store
AND I Saw Prudent Heart
Getting Knowledge
Even As I Heard That
Wise Ear Was Seeking For
Available Knowledge
True!

However ... 

To My Shock 
AND
Dismay
Who Should I See
At The Juicy-News Bar
BUT
That Hellish Triumvirate
Misrepresenting Motive
Blackening Reputation
AND
Dissecting Character
AND
They Were Loudly Chattering About 
Their Coupons For
An Extra-Large Juicy-News Hot-Topic
- With Extra-Spice -
Free Refill!

SoMeBoDyWas Going To Get ...
"THE TREATMENT!"AND
Only God
- By Grace -
- With Mercy -
Was Going To Be Able To Save
That Poor Soul
From Those Sophisticated Cannibals!

Oh, Dear!
Cannibals?!

Yes! I Said It!
They're Cannibals! Cannibals! CANNIBALS!
They Are Just As Bad
As The Flesh-Eaters In The Jungle
Only Difference Being
A For-Real Flesh-Eater
Stops When His Hunger Is Satisfied
BUT
These Character-Cannibals
- Acting Just Like Leeches -
Just Eat
And Eat
And Eat
And Eat
Unless You Remove Them
With ... HEAT!

Pray Tell Me
Where YOU Are Going To Get
That Brand Of Fire-Power From?

We 
- You And I -
Are Going Straight
To The Source
The Great God Of Heaven
Who Is Our Life Source
For He Has Promised
That What Is For Our Good 
AND
For His Glory
Will Be Readily Provided!

The Righteous
Are Not Forsaken!
Their Seed Don't Beg Bread!
The Faithful Are Victorious
AND
Salvation's Day Of Redemption 
Puts Sin
In Its Hot Bed!

We Shall Have A Good Testimony
A True Truth Story!


PRAYER:

God Of Glory!
God Of Grace!
We Come Pleading
For Vindication
Against Those Who
Your Image In Us 
Gladly Disgrace!
Against Those Who Have No Compassion
Or Conscience
And
Who Destroy Lives
As Easy As Eating Food!


We Plead For Relief, Lord
Against Those
In League With The Salvation Thief!


Father,
We Believe Your Word
And
We Stand On The Promises
And
We Ask You, Please
To Avenge Us Against Our Adversaries
And
To Grant Us Your Blessed Relief!

We Love You, Lord
And
We Make Our Requests
In The Faith
And

In The Name 
Of
The Holy Jesus!
AMEN.


Those Three Heathens 
Know Not God
Nor Are They Afraid
Of His Judgments
BUT
We Who Have Godly Fear
Will Shelter In The Lord
So That For Us
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!
