Promised To No Man!

Beloved, 

We Always Have Choices 

But Chances ... Not So Much! 

We Have The Choice To Make Today: 

Live In Love And Light With The Lord Of Life 

Or

Land In The Lake Of Fire 

Through Lust With The Lord Of Lies! 

As Regards The Chance To Make Our Choice ... Tomorrow

That Day Is Indelibly Stamped: 

"Promised To No Man!"

Oh, What A Horror! 

In The Olde Days

When Some Young Village Ram 

Was Prancing Around And Doing The Dog

And 

Some Elder Would Call Him Out About His Behavior 

And Ask When He Was Going To Change 

Or Give His Life To The Lord

The Patented Response Was Invariably: 

"Tomorrow!" 

Which, Inevitably, Never Came 

Because 

The Grim Reaper Came First! 

Remember, Dear Ones, 

We Can't Buy Life 

And 

We Can Neither Stop Nor Sell Death! 

We Were Constantly Cautioned: 

"What You Can Do Today, Do Today!" 

Or Put Another Way

"Never Put Off For Tomorrow 

What You Can Do Today 

Because Tomorrow's Sun Never Rises!" 

This Is Sound Bible Teaching Worthy To Be Accepted 

And 

Acted Upon 

No Matter What The Naysayers Bray! 

The Night Is Coming When No Man Can Work 

So Let Us Permit The Holy Spirit 

To Do A Good Work In Us Today! 

Let's Lean On The Lord 

And 

Learn The Word 

Which Reveals The Thoughts And Intents Of Our Hearts 

And

Is Able To Cut Out The Unprofitable 

Because 

It Is Sharper Than Any Two-Edged Sword! 

Live Today ... Today! 

Peace!

HAPPY SABBATH + Trust In The Lord Christ And Not Satan The Thimble-Rigger!

The Devil Is The Liar 

Who Offers Putrid Power And Graveyard Glory 

To The Gullible And All Who Knowingly Choose To Follow Him! 

Beloved, 

Why Would You Ever Want Or Accept A "Gift" 

From A Conniving Spirit Whose Dominion 

Is 

Basically A Bait And Switch Operation 

For The Supposedly Needy

The Known Greedy

And 

The Obviously Seedy!?! 

Since Jesus Christ Is Our Jehovah Nissi

Our BannerUnder Which We Walk 

Fully Knowing His Will 

And 

His Ways For The Way

There Is No Reason For Us To Fall For A Fraud 

From The Fraud, The Fiend

Who Fell From The Faithful Father's Favor! 

Life Is Neither A Beach

Nor A 24/7 Party

Nor An All-You-Can-Eat Back-End Blow-Out Buffet! 

The Truth ... The Living Holy Word

Declares Ebb And Flow

Valley And Mountain-Top Experiences! 

When We Choose To Walk 

Under The Banner That Is Love Divine

Satan And His Cohort Cannot Gull Aka Fool Us 

With Sand Castles, Paper Roses, And Candles In The Wind! 

Our God The Lord ... The King

Is 

Real And Returning To Embrace A People 

Prepared To Meet Him! 

Satan The Condemned And Damned

Is 

Nothing But A Thimble-Rigger

A Confidence Trickster

Who Cannot Deliver What He Winsomely Promises! 

Please Don't Buy Flood Insurance 

As Protection Against The Lake Of Fire! 

Only Jesus Christ Gives Good Gifts By Grace 

To Get Us Home To Glory! 

Be Wise! 

Our Lord Jesus Is With Us! 

Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Self-Denial Does Not Fork!

Self-Denial 

Is 

The Strait, Hard, Road Upon Which 

Every Christ-Follower Must Enduringly Walk! 

It Is The Pathway To Hill Zion 

And

It Does Not Fork! 

Self-Denial Has The Tarmac Called Truth 

And 

For Illumination

It Has The Light Of Life

And 

All Who Are Determined, By Heavenly Grace, To Stay Thereon

Have Holy Angels Excelling In Strength For Personal Protection 

And

Encouragement 

Until Life Shall End! 

Beloved, 

When We Walk With Jesus Christ The Lord

We Cannot Play Footsie With Satan, King Fraud 

Because 

Who Is Not Working With Jesus Christ 

Is 

Striving ... Working ... Against Him 

And

That State Of Affairs 

Shall Have No Blessed-Forever Beautiful Ending! 

Please Do Not Let Your Carnal Self Cause You To Sin 

By Doing What You Truthfully Know Is The Wrong Thing: 

Wrong Is Never Right 

And 

Right Is Never Wrong 

And

Re-Mixing Them To Suit Your Desire 

Is 

Going To Get You A Berth In The Lake Of Fire Pyre! 

There Is No Excuse For Sin

And 

The Devil Didn't Make You Do It! 

Check Your Words, Thoughts And Actions 

And

Cease Living By And For 

Chemical, Emotional, Reactions! 

Faithfully Walk In Accord 

With Jesus Christ The Lord Our King! 

 

Positively ... Passionately

Pursue Peace

With The Prince Of Peace! 

Choose The Good Part!

The Lord In Zion Does Not Sleep Nor Wear Dark Glasses: 

He Sees Us All Always! 

No Matter What Is Happening In Your Life

No Matter How Close To You Your Adversary Is

- Be It By Blood, Affection, Faith Or Affiliation -

Please Do Not Indulge In Their Tactics Aka Fighting Fire With Fire! 

Remember Always Whose Child You Are 

And 

Always Remember That The Weapons Of Our Warfare 

Against The Published And Private Agents Of Satan 

Are Spiritual ... Not Carnal

And

Choose To Fight Fire With The Faith Of Jesus Which Cannot Fail

 And

The Key In The Hand Of Faith ... Called Prayer

Which Unlocks Heaven's Storehouses 

Wherein Is The Abundance That Almighty God

- Through Jesus Christ Our Lord - 

Makes Available To His People 

By Request For Patience, Provision, Protection, Purity

And

Peace! 

Beloved, 

Satan Is The Condemned And Damned Liar

The Murderer Of Lives, Loves, Hopes And Dreams 

And 

All Who Walk In Charity With Him Doing His Dread Bidding

Shall Join Him 

In The One-Way, No-Escape Lake Burning With Fire And Brimstone! 

Remember, Remember 

Don't Ever Forget ... 

Evil Does Not Go Unpunished 

No Matter Who Is Doing It

And 

Good Does Not Go Unrewarded

No Matter Who Is Performing It! 

Use Your Free Will

And

Your Right To Choose

To Always Choose The Good Part Of This Life

So That The Lord's Best Blessings

Will Fall Abundantly Upon You! 

Look Up To 

And

Embrace The Lord Of Light, Love, Grace And Glory: 

Walk In Wise Ways ... Not Damnable Folly!

There Is No Heavenly Profit For Sinning!

Trust The Lord Always

Because

He Is Our Refuge

And

Our Strength!

 

DISOBEDIENCE DOESN'T PAY: Almighty God's Gonna Laugh!?!

Do You All Remember When We Were Small
Knee-High To A Grasshopper
And Mama Used To Tell Us:

"Don't Do That Thing Because ...
And If You Fall And Hurt Yourself
I'm Going To Spank You ...
And If You Cry After Disobeying Me
And Falling And Hurting Yourself
I Am Going To Spank You ...!

... And She Did!

Did She Ever!

I Remember That The Punishment
Felt Worst Than The Actual Disobedience ...!

Didn't You Ever Wonder ... After We Grew Up
Where She Got That Idea From!?!

I Sure Did! 
It Was Brutal 
And It Was Effective
And We All Learnt Never To Disobey Her Again!

Well, Today Is Our Lucky Day!
We Are Going To See The Road-Map
That Mama Followed!

Listen To This!

These Words Are Amongst Some Of 
The Most Frightening Statements 
Uttered Against Humans 
And 
Should Be Taken Heart 
By All Of Us Who Desire To See Jesus Christ The King 
- The Judge Of All Flesh -
In Perfect Peace! 

Beloved, 

Willful Disobedience 
Is 
Man Committing A Crime ... Punishable By Death
Against His Own Soul 
And 
We Would All Do Well To Take Stock Of Our Thoughts
Our Words 
And 
Our Deeds 
So That In The Great Day Of Small Things 
We Are Not With Those Humans Who Had Goat Parts 
And 
Thought They Could Out-Thin
Out-Run
Out-Maneuver
Outlaw
And 
Outlast The Eternal God 
Who Means What He Says
Does What He Says
And
Delivers On His Promises Be They Gifts Or ... Punishments! 

Almighty God's Word Shall Stand 
And 
We Would All Do Well To Choose To Hear
Understand, Accept 
And
Act Upon On All Things Which Say: 
"Thus Saith THE LORD OF LIFE!" 
Who Doesn't Stutter 
Or Gamble
Or Make Mistakes!

Let Us Be Amongst The Truly Wise: 
Embrace The Truth 
And 
Dare To Live In Total Obedience 
So That The Lake Of Fire 
Does Not Greedily Embrace You! 

Please Heed The Law Of Life 
From The Giver Of Life 
And 
You Shall Surely Enjoy ... For Eternity
Everlasting Life! 

Obedience Always, Always, Always, Profitably Pays! 
Let This Word To The Wise Be Sufficient For Me And For You: 
Live In One Accord With The Lord!
In Him Is Our Only And True Peace!

Contrary To Popular Belief

Disobedience Can't

And

Doesn't Pay

And

We Have The Word Of God On It

As Proof!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Plant Good Seed + PRAYER: I Shall Emerge As Gold!

Just Like Good Seeds
Bad Seeds Grow
And 
What Grows
Grows Up To Be Harvested For The Table 
To Bless Body And Soul 
Or 
Grows To Be Cut Down 
And 
Cast In The Furnace
Cast On The Pyre, The Rubbish Heap 
Or Discard Pile As Fuel 
Because 
It Serves No Otherwise Profitable Purpose! 

Beloved, 

Let Us Not Deceive Ourselves:
We Cannot Deceive The Living God!

We Who Follow The Lord Christ 
Must Sow Good Seeds Of Kindness
Love, Sharing, Caring And Helping
Believing The Word
Trusting The Lord
Living In Light And Ever Doing Right
Always Pleasing Almighty God 
And 
Blessing Ourselves As A Result! 

Please Let Us Permit The Holy Spirit 
To Have His Way With Us
Feeding Our Souls 
And 
Maturing A Clear Conscience 
Because 
To Do Otherwise ... To Resist The Sweet Of Truth Spirit
Is 
To Mark Us As Among The Unwise Who Shall Reap 
Their Preferred Harvest Of Destruction 
In The Lake Of Fire! 

Be Wise
And 
Choose To Have A Heart Tended By The Holy Spirit! 

Plant Good Seed!
Enjoy The Water Of The Word!
Reach For The Sun Of Righteousness
And 
Look Forward With Joy 
To The Harvest Celebration
The Coming Of Lord Christ
Our Loving, Kind, Great And Glorious King 
Who Cares And Utterly Saves! 

PRAYER:

Lord,

By Your Grace

I Will Covet No Man's Silver Or Gold Or Raiment

And I Will Daily Choose To Be Contented

With Such Things As You Provide For Me!

Most People Have Nothing

But I Have Much To Be Thankful For!

I Give You Praise And Say: "Thank You!"

Father, You Lead Me To Green Pastures

And I Am Substantially Fed!

You Teach Me The Ways Of Righteousness 

And I, Contented, Rest Easy In My Bed!

You Chastise Me Because I Am Not A Bastard

But Am Your Child Greatly Beloved!

By Your Will And Under Your Supervision

I Know I Will Pass Through The Crucible Of Affliction

Leading To Character Perfection

And At The Moment Of Your Choosing

I Shall Emerge As Gold

Revived And Reformed

Suitable To Dwell Forever

In The Presence Of Your Holy Fire!

You Equip Me To Serve You

In The Harvest Field Ripening

And I Enjoy The Pleasant Work!

I Thank You For The Spirit That

Makes Me The Worker Willing!

Father, 

I Trust You!

I Love You!

I Praise Your Holy Name!

I Look Forward To The Great Day Of Small Things

And While I Am Patiently Waiting

In The Here And The Now

I Humbly Beg You, Please

For The Holy Spirit's Infilling!

By You, Dear Lord

I Live And Breathe And Have My Being 

And I Desire To Arrive Safely At The Place

On The Appointed Day Prophesied 

When Your Dear Sweet Face 

In Perfect Peace

I Shall Surely Be Seeing!

Father, 

Please Keep Me Faithful

Please Keep Me Spiritually And Physically Fed

And Bless Me Out Of Your Great Supply Of

Mercy, Grace, Goodness And Righteousness

As I Daily All My Known Sin Repent And Confess!

Remember The Holy People

The Praying People

The Waiting People

And Bless Us All To Do Your Bidding

Without Murmur Or Complaint!

Thank You For The Daily Victories Over Sin And Self

And Bless Us, Lord, Bless Us

So That In The Final Analysis

It Is Noted In Our Record That

To You, We Are Indeed The Child Called

Spiritual Success!

Please Provide For Us All According To Our Need

And Grant Us These Few Petitions

For We Ask All In The Wonderful Name Of

Jesus Christ The Righteous

Our Soon-Returning Kind King!

AMEN!!! 

CHRISTIAN CHARACTER: Doing Wickedness!?!

... Enough Already!

If You Cannot Stand Up And Think
Then Down And Listen
And
Let's Put A Stop To This Nonsense Right Now!
We Are To Live Like Faithful Christians
So Let's Start Acting That Way!

A Wicked Character 
Is 
Nothing To Be Cherished ... Or Paraded Around 
As Though It Is A Badge Of Honor!

Doing Wicked Deeds Starts With A Thought 
Which Is Followed By The Act Which, Indulged
Leads To The Formation Of Character 
Which Ultimately Leads To One's Preferred
Chosen Destiny Aka Destination ... Hell! 

Wickedness 
Is 
An Abomination In The Sight Of God 
Because
Of Its Iniquitous, Its Planned, Origins
And 
Any Amongst Us Of The Household Of Faith 
Who Unrepentantly Raise That Serpent In Their Bosom
Is 
Personally Booking A Berth 
In The Lake Burning With Brimstone And Fire! 

Beloved, 

Let's Be Wise 
And 
Resist The Devil 
Because 
To Indulge In Doing Wickedness By His Temptations 
Makes Him Master And "God" 
And 
Leaves Us ... Jesus Christ's Purchased Property
Impervious To The Call Of The Holy Spirit Of Truth
Who Is Calling Out To Us
To Lead Us Into The Truth ... The Saving Truth
That Will See Us Abiding With Lord Christ
Sharing His Great Glory
And
Having A Personal Place In The Father's House Of Light And Love!

Please Don't Be Deceived Into Thinking That
A Little Wickedness Ain't Never Hurt Nobody
Because
To Do So Will Be Willfully Countenancing 
A Gross Lie Of Our Bitter Adversary
That Raging Lion
That Piercing Serpent
That Lord Of The Dung Flies, Satan The Damned!

Brethren,

Please Understand That Indulging Wickedness 
Wastes The Work Done On Our Behalf On Calvary 
So Don't Cherish Thoughts That 
Will Lead You Into That Presumptuous Sin! 

Embrace The Living Word Known True And Faithful
And
By The Grace Of The Eternal God
- Father, Son And Holy Spirit -
Who Are Working All Now To Get Us Home Safely
Think Good Thoughts 
And 
Always Choose To Do Right

And 

Aggressively Prevent Satan 
From Putting His Benighted Ring In Your Nose: 
You Will Be Forever Blessed 
By The Lord's Free-To-All Mercy ... And Available Grace! 

One Day ... Soon
All Of The Wicked Will Cease Their Troubling
And
We Who Were Faithful Until Death
Or Until Christ Comes
Will Walk Upon Their Ashes
For They Will Be No More!

All I Know Is That I Don't Want To Be Amongst Them!

I Hear That!

Talk Is Cheap: Actions Speak Louder Than Words!
Don't Be Wicked!
Don't Indulge In Planned, Presumptuous, Sin!
Don't Follow Satan ... He Ain't Your Friend
And
You Won't Be Amongst Them!

AMEN!!!

Confess ... And Repent!?!

Confession Is Good For The Sin-Sick Soul!

Repentance Is Good If You Desire

In Sin

Not To Become Hardened, Hard-Hearted, Cold!

But

Confession Cannot Be Coerced ...!

... Why Not!?! Isn't It The Way To Get A Guilty Plea!?!

You May Get A Guilty Plea

But

The Person Confessing Does Not Acknowledge

Believe Or Accept That He Is Guilty!

He Just Wants To Be Left Alone

And

He Does Not Acknowledge That

He Knows That He Is A Sinner 

Or That Jesus Christ Paid ... Unfairly

With His Innocent Blood

To Purchase A Pardon For All Mankind
And More Particularly ... Get This

All Those Individuals

Who Know That They Are Sinners

That They Are Guilty Of Sin

That They Are Sorry For Their Sin

That They Need Forgiveness

That They Need Cleansing

That They Need The Savior

That They Believe The Savior Saves

That They Believe The Savior Can Personally Save Them

That They Believe The Purchased Salvation Is Real

That They Believe The Salvation Is Fixed

And

That It Fixes Them In Their Need

And

Helps Them To Freely Walk Away From Sin ... Forever

And

It Gets Them Homed And Housed!

Vandee!?!

Yes, Ollie!?!

Would You Please, I Beseech You

Explain What You Mean By Homed And Housed 
Because You Are Making It Seem Like That Sinner Is 
Holding A Piece A Prison!?!

Far From It!

By That Stellar Move

He Is Adopted Into The Family Of The True, Living, Holy
Eternal, Giving, Forgiving, Blessing, Just, Jealous, God

And 

Welcomed Into The Home Circle

And

Assigned A Personal Place

In One Of The Many Mansions

In The Father's House!

If What You Say Is Bible Truth ...!

... It Is ... !

... Then We Have A Serious Problem!

I Really Don't See How We Have A Problem:

We Sin!

We Pick Our Pay Check: Death

But

If We Acknowledge That We Are Sinners

We Have A Savior! 

When We Confess Our Known Sins

We Take The Hand Of The Savior

We Repent ... Turn Away From That Sin

The Savior Gives Us The Personal Pardon

The Savior Cleanses Us Of Our Own Sin

We Walk In The Newness Of His Holy Life

We ... Former Strangers ... Are Adopted

We Receive The Deed To The New Residence

And

Nobody In Our Father's House

Creeps Around Us Watching, Waiting

Because 
They Are Expecting Us To Go And Sin Again! 

The Problem Still Remains! 

The Current Voicings In The Public Square, Say That

Telling People, Calling People Sinners

Is Not Kind Nor Gentle! 

It Hurts People's Feelings

And It Makes Them Very Sad! 

I Know! 

A Priest Was Given A Backseat For 
Offending A Family By Calling Their Son

- Who Committed Suicide - 

A Sinner At The Funeral! 

Time's Getting Short! 

Sin's Getting Long In The Tooth! 

Ignoring Sin

Reframing Sin

Repackaging Sin

Relegating

Is Not Going To Change Sin

Is Not Going To Make Sin Good

Is Not Going To Make Sin Cheap

Is Not Going To Make The Consequence Palatable ... Soft

Is Not Going To Reverse The Cost Of Sin To Almighty God

Is Not Going To Put Jesus Christ's Innocent Blood Back In His Veins

Is Not Going To Turn Satan Into A Saint

Is Not Going To Cause Sin The Human Soul Not To Taint

Is Not Going To Make The Lake Of Fire 

A Poster With Red Paint

So Be Bold ... And Be Humble

Confess Your Sin

Admit That You Tumbled

Repent And By God's Grace

Turn Your Life Around

And

In The Day Of Accounts

Paid In Full

Against Your Cleansed Name

Shall Surely Be Surely Found! 

I Believe We Should Tell This Story Around The Town! 

Indeed! 

Jesus Christ Is Coming 

And 
He Will Be Here Before Very Long! 

Think About It:

The Servant Is Not Above His Master! 

Jesus Christ Was Evilly Spoken Of 
And 
We Who Bear The Name
Practice The Ways 
And 
Live The Blessed Christian Life 
Shall Certainly Hear Many Bad Words Uttered Against Us! 

The Christian Life Is Not A Style: 
Styles Change As Man's Tastes 
And 
Temperaments Change! 

The Christian Life 
Is 
A Reason For Living ... For Being
A Cause For Celebration
The Path To Glory
The Way Home To Our Father
Who Lovingly Calls Us To His Bosom ... To His Heart 
Which Will Not Leave Us Alone 
To Suffer For His Name's Sake! 

Be Glad
And 
Lift High The Cross Of Jesus 
Who Is Coming To Take His Faithful Ones 
To The Glorious, Forever, Home! 

Gladly Live For Jesus
And 
Be Forever Blessed!
