EMERGENCY SIREN: Nobody Wakes Up Dead!




 















For Every Siren That We Hear
There Is A Living Soul In Mortal Distress: 
Neither The Coroner Nor The Mortuary Van
Has Need Of Urgent Progress! 

Beloved, 

None Of Us Knows The Day Or The Hour 
When We Shall Close Our Eyes For The Long Sleep 
From Which No Man's Fabricated Alarm May Awaken Us 
And
For This Reason 
I Bid Us All To Keep Current Accounts With Our Lord Jesus! 

At The Siren's Sound
Please Raise Up Your Heart To The Holy God 
And 
Pray For Our Brethren That 
Our Blessed Lord Will Have Mercy 
And 
Grant Them Strength, Courage, And The Opportunity 
To Confess And Repent Of Known Sin 
And Take Jesus Christ As Their Everlasting Portion 
So That They May Be Blessed 
And 
Saved Into The Living Kingdom
According To Their Will! 

Dear Ones, 

We Who Know And Love The Lord
Please Do Not Relax And Act Carelessly About Your Salvation! 

We Sin By Thought, Word And Deed ... Daily
So Let Us, As We Realize Our Errors
And 
As A Matter Of Habit
Confess And Repent Of All Known Sin ... Every Day! 

Nobody Wakes Up Dead 
But
Everybody Awakens To Face The King Of Glory
The Judge Of All Flesh Who Will Have His Rewards With Him! 

I Sincerely Pray For Us All That 
When The Time Comes
That We All Will Arise From Our Long Home 
To See Our Jesus In All His Glory
In Perfect Peace! 



Dear Lord Jesus, 

We Adore You! 
Please Bless Us
As We Confidently
Raise Our Hearts To You
In Heartfelt Prayer! 
AMEN!

My Heart Wants What It Wants!?!






No Committed Christian
- Having Confessed And Repented Of Known Sin
And 
Having Taken Jesus Christ As Their Everlasting Portion -
Should Ever Allow The Words 
"My Heart Wants What It Wants!" 
To Pass Their Lips With Regard To The Lust 
For Some Unholy, Fleeting, Fleshly Desire! 

The Lord Jesus ... Our Own Savior ... In The Living Word
Has Warned Us That 
The Heart Of Man Is Desperately Wicked 
And 
Beyond All Knowing! 

Beloved, 

Without The Reviving 
And 
Reforming Regenerative Power Of 
The Indwelling Holy Spirit Of Truth 
To Make The Living, Holy, Way Plain 
To Each One Of Us Individually ... And Personally
We Will Never See The Unclouded Day That 
Is 
Life In The Presence Of The Eternal God! 

The Human Heart
- Minus Christ In Us Our Hope For Glory - 
Is 
A Licensed Liar And Deceiver 
Even Deceiving Its Own Host! 

Are You Living Your Life 
Following The Hum And Hush Of 
Your Heart's Lustful Desires!?! 
Stop It! 

The Lord Our God Daily Gives Unto Each One Of Us
A Measure Of Enduring Faith 
And 
Encourages Us To Reason With Him 
And
Not With Ourselves! 

Self Is A Sinner! 
A Lustful Heart Is In The Sinner
And
Only Christ Can Remove Self From Us
And 
Give To Us The New Heart That 
Truly Beats For The Living God: 
Ask For It With Your Gift Of Enduring Faith 
And 
Lovingly Receive The Unfettered Blessing! 

Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Bible Study Outline And Able Sinner


Time Is Fulfilled
The Kingdom Of God Is At Hand
Current Events
Repentance Aka Sorrow For Sin
Belief Aka Faith
And
Appeal For Surrender
Were Arrayed Around Able Sinner!
They Are Collectively Called
Bible Study Outline!

Able Sinner
- Not Even Close To Being A Saint -
Had Arrived At The Cross Road
The Intersection Between Heaven And Hell
Faith And Doubt
And
Hope And Don't Tell The Story!

Able Was Confused, Is Confused
Because 
He Had Long Thought That
There Was No God
Then There Was God 
But
He Was An Absentee Landlord
Then God Was Present And Active
And
A Cruel Tyrant Known Greatly Sadistic

And, Now ... Suddenly

He Is Hearing For The Very First Time That God
Our Creator God
Is
The Holy God
Faithful, Kind, Loving, True
Friend, Hope, Help, Salvation
Provider, Sustainer
The Only God Who Is Real
And
Willing To Reason With His Creatures
Is Jealous
And
Desires Their Love For His Very Own
Because
For Love Of Able And His Kind
He Sacrificed His Only Son
To Pay The Total Price For All Their Sins
So That We
And
Able Sinner ... Personally
Could Approach Unto Almighty God's Majesty Without Fear
To Find Grace In His Time Of Need
And
Enduring All Things By Faith
For Love
To Share The Risen Son's
- Man's Interceding High Priest -
Surpassing Great Glory!

Truth ... Accepted
Changes Everything
And
Sin, Darkness, And Error-Disspelling Light Dawns!

Hear Able Sinner
In Stunned Amazement, Speak:

He Loves Me!
The Holy God Of Glory Personally Loves Me
And Desires, Desires
Desires My Presence In His Everlasting House!
Imagine That!

Truth Is Finally Being Made Plain!

There Is No Anticipating Of Earned Rewards!

The Dead Know Nothing:
The Dead Are Not Angels, Spiritual Advisors, Or Guardians!
There Is No Going To Hell Instantly At Death For Unrepentant Sinners!
There Is No Going To Heaven Instantly 
For The Much Good Works Good People!
There's No Roasting In Hell For Billions Of Years In A Box
With Satan And His Demons 
Tormenting Me For The Sins Of A Short Life! 
There Is No One Being Saved In Sin
And There Is Surely No Salvation For All Mankind 
Just Because The Lord, Our Creator, Created Us!

Finally, Finally, Finally, I Am In Possession Of The Truth!
Uncoerced Decisions Must Be Made!

All I Have To Do Is Believe The Word
Trust The Lord
Confess Known Sin ... And Repent
Gain Victory Over Sin By Working My Gift
- My Daily Gift Of Faith -
Surrender My Stubborn Will
Surrender My Lustful Choice
Let The Lord Of Life Lead Me
Bless Me And Prosper Me
With Imperishable Gifts ...!

... I Have A Reason To Rejoice!

I Have Mercy, Grace
Peace, Rest
The Love Of The Almighty God!
Me ... A Child Of The Dust! 
I Have The Privileges Of A Blessed
Beloved, Bought, Redeemed Member Of
The Royal Household!

I Can And Must Always Pray: He Welcomes My Voice!
I Have Access To And The Present Help Of
The Holy Spirit Of The Eternal God! 

I, By Faith
May Have The Creator God Of The Universe
Dwelling Within Me
All For Just Believing 
And Inviting Him To Come In And Dwell Forever
In My Broken And Contrite Heart ...!

... I Must Confess And Repent ... 
I Must Turn Away From Known Sin
Which Cannot Profit!

Praise God For New Eyesight!

I Look Around And I Truly See And Know The Truth!
It Is Hard To Believe The Truth
Which Is So Simple As To Be Unbelievable
But I Have To Do It!

The Kingdom Of God Is At Hand!
The Signs Of The Times Are Truly Every Where!
There's Only Bad News In The News!
Repentance For Known Sin Is Necessary!
The Lord Won't Save Me If I Indulge In Willful Sinning!

Satan Is A Liar
The Liar Without Compare!
He Would Put Me In The Electric Chair
And Call It My Comfy Chair!
He, Uncaring Of My Soul, Wickedly Dares!

My Life Is In The Lord Christ's Hands!
The Decision To Choose Life Is In Mine!
My Now Necessary Decision
Has Eternal Implications ... Eternal Consequences!
It Is Either Eternal Torment
As In The Separation That 
Jesus Christ Felt Outside The Love Of His Father
When He Was Nailed On The Cross
And Not The Gross, Destructive Lie 
Widely Taught And Generally Believed About Eternal Burning

Or

Eternal Joy In The Lord's Presence
And Access To The Water, And The Tree, Of Life! 

I Am Going To Fly!
Angels Exceeding In Strength Will Be My Companions!

I Now Have Real Hope!

I Will Be Saved From My Own Sin!
I Can, And Shall, Trust The Living Word!
I Will, And Do, Believe The Promise Of Eternal Life!

PRAYER:

Father, God

Give Me Jesus Christ! 
Please Light Up My Life! 
I Am Grateful, Lord
For This Anchor For My Soul! 
I Have Made My Decision:
Heaven With The Lord Christ
Is My Goal!


Father,
Gold Made Me Proud! 

Silver Made Me Loud! 
Bronze Made Me Arrogant!
And Iron Made Me Strong 
And, Yet,
I'm Here And Now Humbled
Because I See My True Condition:



I Am A Child Of The Dust
Ready, Able

Willingly Recognizing My Need

And Now Knowing That Things
Bright, Shiny, Heavy, Costly, Hard
And Inculcating Pride
Are Fleeting And Perishable 
Easy To Toss In The Bin Called Discard!

I See The Light!
Forgive Me Of My Sin!
I Humbly Repent!

Almighty God Is A Spirit
A Consuming Fire To The Unrepentant Sinner
And I Am An Acknowledged Sinner
Repentant, Sorry For My Sin
And I Know That I Must Worship The Lord
In Spirit And In Truth!

New Lamp For Old:
I Must Make The Trade!
My Light Must Shine!
Before The Throne Of Grace
I Must Be Bold!

Although It Is New
Life With The Lord Christ
Is Already Sublime
For His Word ... The Truth
Is Faithful ... Kind!
His Word Is Now Mine!

I Am Going To Hill Zion!
I Will Not Be Left Out
Cast Out, Cast Off!
I Shall Live And Not Die!
For Joy, I Feel To Cry!
Second Death And I
Shall Have No Ties!

Jesus, Save Me!
Is Now My Anthem!
Jesus, Save Me!
Is Now My Believing Heart's Longing Call Before I Die!

I Shall Reside In The Sweet By And By!
The Preserved Word Of The Living God Can't Lie!

PRAYER: Forgive Me, Father, For Causing My Savior Pain...!

Father Of The Faithful,
Shepherd Of The Blessed
I Come Now Before You, Lord
Willingly
My Known Sins To Confess!

I Do Not Seek To Make Excuse
Because
Father, I Have None!
I Come Before You With A Contrite Heart
Penitent, Sorrowing
Knowing That There Is Nothing About Sinning
That I Or My Brethren Can Ever Call Fun!

Forgive Me, Lord
My Trespasses!
My Transgressions!
My Iniquities!
Forgive Me For Causing My Savior Pain
And
Help Me Never To Do These Things Again!

Father,
I Desire To Be A Good Student
In The School Of The Lord Christ
So That I May Gain The Eternal Education
As I Learn To Recognize And Walk Away From
That That Is The Demonic Device!

Father,
I Desire To Be A Good Servant
Willing
Able
Ready To Do Your Blessed Will!
Help Me, Lord, In My Labor Of Love
Your Holy Will In My Life To Fulfill!

Father,
I Desire To Be A Good Child
Listening
Honoring
Loving
Obeying
Ever Ready To Harken To Your Still Voice!
Help, Lord, Please Help Me To Give Back To You
My Free Will
And
My Free Choice!

Today Is The Day, Father
That You Have Made!
Please Help Me To Use It Wisely
Until The Day That The Breath In Me
With Finality Fades!

I Give You, Lord, My Worship!
I Give You, Father, My Praise!
I Give You All The Glory And Honor
And That
Without Deceitful Display!

Remember The Children Of The Kingdom
Those Near And Those Far Away
And
Bless Them With All Blessing
So That They Will Stand Firmly
In The Son Of Righteousness
So That They Will Not With 
Their Souls' Salvation For A Mess Of Pottage
Make The Faithless Play!

Thank For You For Your Available Grace!
Thank For The Mercy That Is Always Free!
Thank For Your Sacrifice Of Pure Love
Which Gives Us All Who Are Willing
A Permanent Home In The Celestial Home Above!

May The Holy Angels Protect Us!
May The Holy Spirit Guide, Chide And Indwell
And
May We All With Hearts For The Lord Christ
Cooperate Willingly, Fully, And Prayerfully
As We Look With Faith To Mount Zion
To Behold The Lamb Of God
Tribe Judah's Conquering Lion!

Please Accept My Prayer, Father Beloved
Because
I Offer It Up In The Name Of The Holy One
In The Most Holy Place Of The Heavenly Sanctuary
Interceding
For All Who In Him Do Believe!
I Love You, Lord!
Have Mercy And Bless!
AMEN.

The Sign Post

At The Crossroads Of Hope And Glory
AND
Independence And Pride
AND
Doubt And Defiance
AND
Not Yet And Maybe Later
IS
The Sign Post
Plain To The Seeing Eye:


What Is The Point?

Is It Worth It?
Can You Pay The Price?
Was It Worth The Cost?



How Strange!

Very True!

Very True, It's Strange
Or
It's Strangely Very True!?!

Pick Your Own Poison!

Poison Kills!

So Does Ignorance
Recklessness
Willfulness
Waywardness
Wantonness
Idleness
Fullness Of Bread
Pride
Life Without The Peace Guide
AND
Letting Satan Take You For A Ride!

Whatever Must One Do?!

In Heavenly Love Abide!

Let The Spirit Of God In Your Heart Reside! 

Let The Holy Angels Influence You
So That Vain Self 
AND
Purchased Salvation
Do Not Collide
AND
Get Out Of The Dying World
So That Known Sin
Cannot Take You For The Condemned Man's Last Ride!

Bottom Line ...

In Jesus Christ
Our Savior
Lord, God
Forever Friend

Emphatically
Unreservedly

Unrepentantly
Faithfully
Contentedly
Confide!

AN APPRECIATION: The Lord IS My Light!


The Lord Is The Voice For Me
Look Smell
Taste
See Hear!
Know Him!

The Lord Is The Sight For Me
Hope Help
Blessing
The Heart That For Me Cares!
Follow Him!

The Lord Is The Way For Me
Coming Going
Working
Praying

Obey Him!

The Lord IS My Music
My Song
My Word
The Rhyme
The One God Of Heaven
Holy True
Faithful Eternal
Divine
AND I
A Mere Child
A Servant
Have Willingly Answered
His
Knock! Knock! Knock!
On My Heart's Broken Door
AND I
Blessed Forever
Shall Ascend The Heights
AND
Walk
- By Purchased Right -
Through His Heavenly Home's
Everlasting Door!


The Lord IS My Light! 
My Life!
My Rock!
My Shepherd

AND
Praise The Heavenly Father
The Beloved Son
And
The Comforting Holy Ghost
My Known And Only Salvation!

When I Am Distressed, Dear Father
Remind Me Of How I Am Blessed
And
When I Consider My Blessing
Help Me To Consider Also
And
With Unfailing Gratitude
That I Lost Nothing
But
Gained Everything
When My Known Sin
In Jesus Christ's Name
To You
I Did Confess!

Thank You For My Daily Blessing
Be It The One Seen Or Unseen
The One Known Or Unknown
Even The One Unappreciated
Unrequested
Unanticipated!

Thank You, Lord
For
In You
I Do Not Walk This World Alone!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Truth Sets The Soul Free!

I Could Not Go To The Living God By Myself!
The Living God Had To Call Unto Me!
I Had No Power Of My Own!
The Holy Spirit Of God Had To Give Power Unto Me!

Like Many Before
I Thought I Could Be Saved By My Own Merits
AND
That My Own Works Would Justify Me!
I Thought That My Willingness To Serve The Living God
Meant
That The Living God Had To Save Me!

I Was Wrong!

Again,
Like Many Before Me
AND
Around Me
I Thought That I Would Be Saved In My Known Sins!
I Thought That The Fact That I Worshiped The Living God
Meant That The Living God Would Excuse 
Known Wrongdoing
Wilfull Sinfulness
Actively Working In Me!
I Was Wrong!

But For The Love Of Christ The Lord
I Could Have Been Dead Wrong! 

The Truth Will Come Out ...

One Day
I Met The Savior
Who Opened Up The Truth Unto Me!
He Told Me Plainly:




I Also Understood That
Faith Alone Avails Nothing!
Works Alone Avail Nothing!
BUT ...
When Jesus' Faith Was Released In Me
My Acceptance Of That Faith
Caused Me To Work Aka Step Out In Faith
Trusting The Word Of Him Who Is Faithful
Just
AND
Holy
Wise
AND
Ever Always True!

I Came To Realize That ...

Doubt ... Sits And Wonders And Worries ...!
Faith ... Walks And Works And Lives!

I Now Know That ...

Faith Can Handle Delay
AND
Disappointment
AND
Is Never In A Rush
BUT
That Doubt
Holds Tight To Instant Gratification
AND
Never Has The Courage Of Faith
Into God's Great Unknown
To ... In Hope
Step Out!

I Finally Learned That ...

I Can Do All Things
Through Jesus Christ Who Strengthens Me!
I Know From Whom My Help Comes
AND
I Trust The Only One
In Whose Bosom
Under Whose Wings
In Whose Covert
I Can Safely Lie Down!

The Living God
My God
My Hope
My Help
My Salvation
My Redemption
My Beginning
My End
Gives Me The Comfort Of Peace
AND
The Blessing Of Strength
AND
Though I Walk Through Death's Dark Vale
I Shall Never Be Afraid
For He Who Is The Great I AM
Is All-Seeing
All-Knowing
Ever-Present!

Almighty God
Created Man To Love Him
To Worship Him
AND
To Give Him Willing Praise
Out Of Man's Own Free Will
AND
Because I Am His Alone
I Look Up With Ardent Hope
Unto His Glorious Coming On The Great Day!

I Am Not Alone!
Jesus Christ Walks Beside Me!
He Created Me
AND
To Him
My Soul Is As Precious Gold!

I Love The Lord
AND 
By His Grace 
- Great And Known Free - 
I Have Risen Above The Weighty Fog Of Sinful Doubt!
I From Under Doubt's Bondage
Have Finally Gotten Out! 


Precious Lord, Take My Hand! 
Holy God, Help Me Stand! 
I Trust Your Word!
I Believe That You're The Living God! 
I Give To You
My Trembling Heart! 
I Bow In Worship
Though Only A Man
But
I Love You, Lord
You Are My God
Please Take My Hand!
