HAPPY SABBATH + Generally Recognized As Safe!?!

 

Here A GRAS, There A GRAS! 

Everywhere A GRAS, GRAS! 

Old Mcdonald Lost His Shirt And His Farm

And 

It's Time That Everybody Knows Why! 

Dearly Beloved, 

We Are Gathered Here Today 

To Consign GRAS To The Underground Staff! 

GRAS Ain't Your Brother Nor Your Sister! 

He Ain't Your Friend Nor Your Family

And 

It's For Certain Sure That He Does Not Have 

Your Best Interests Coddled In The Cockles Of His "Heart!" 

GRAS Has Long Fooled Us All That 

He Is A Blessing 

When In Truth And In Fact 

He Ain't Nothing But A Blight On The Butt Of All Mankind 

From The Cradle To The Grave 

And 

We Are Putting Him In His Grave Today! 

GRAS Aka Generally Recognized As Safe

Makes Things Stronger

Look Whiter, Brighter

Taste Better

And 

Last Longer! 

Think, People

And 

Look At The Detritus Of Your Life 

And 

Recognize How GRAS Wrapped Himself Around 

And 

Jumped Into All That Was Biblically And Historically Known As 

Sin And Darkness And Death 

And 

Made Them Salvation And Light And Life 

And 

We, All, Trusting Man-Science And Guru-Gospel

Because

We Despised Our Peculiarities 

As People Of The Living Book Of Truth Of Jesus Christ

Tried 

To Reinvent Ourselves 

To Be Relevant To The Worldly-Wise 

Who, Unrepentant, Shall Never Reach To Heights Unknown! 

Lord Jesus,

We Repent! 

GRAS, Generally Recognized As Safe You Are Not! 

Dear Lord, 

Please Grant Us Your Grace

To Walk Aright On The Path Of Light 

That Is The Word Of Truth 

Neither Adding Nor Subtracting

To Be Attractive To Those 

Whom You Cannot Approve! 

GRAS, Hell Is Not Too Good For You: 

Burn Well! 

Brethren, 

Be At Peace With Our God, Jesus Christ The Lord, The Almighty: 

He, Alone, Saves! 

Peace! 

HAPPY SABBATH

BLESSINGS AND BOUNTIES!

Is Your Presence A Beautiful Present!?!

Is Your Presence A Beautiful Present 

Or Is It A Funeral Pyre!?! 

Is Your Presence A Gift Of God 

Or A Thorn Branch From King Fraud!?! 

Beloved, 

Have You Ever Heard These Expressions Spoken About Anyone 

Or, I Hope Not, Have Ever Heard Them Spoken About Yourself: 

He Could Make A Rock Cry! 

She Could Suck The Air Out Of A Room! 

She Always Looks Like She Bit Into A Lemon! 

Or, He Brings His Own Weather With Him!?! 

Dear Ones, 

There Is Also The Expression Which Says That 

When You Laugh, The World Laughs With You

But When You Cry, You Cry Alone! 

The Question Is: 

How Do We, Or How Are We To Stand In All Of This!?! 

Let's Go Back To The Point Of Beginning And Remember That 

We Are Called The Children Of God 

And, As Such

We Should Be Light And Salt 

Aka The Gift Of God To Mankind! 

We Are Not To Walk Around Grinning Inanely 

Like We've Lost Our Minds 

Nor Are We To Walk Around Like We Have No Hope 

And Are Trying To Make Others To Be As We Have Become! 

Beloved, 

Jesus Christ Has, In Mercy, Given Us Hope, Help, And Healing Now, 

And Then 

Heaven At The Last Trumpet To Look Forward To! 

Please Let Us Endeavor From This Day Forward 

To Remember Whose We Are

Why We Are Here

What We Are To Accomplish

And 

Where We Are Headed! 

Plan Your Work And Work Your Plan 

As, When, Where, And How The Lord Leads You! 

You Are Not Alone! 

Look Up To Jesus Now! 

Peace!

TRANSFORMED: Unmasking The Masked!

Is Your Mask On!?! 

Is Your Facial Expression Shellacked In Place!?! 

Does Anyone Know The Real You 

Or Are They Just Looking At The Someone That 

Time And Circumstance Grew!?! 

Beloved, 

We Have All Worn Masks Of One Kind Or Another 

At One Time Or Another 

But

As Children Of The Father

As The-Bought With The Blood Of The Son

As Those Comforted By The Holy Spirit

We, By Faith, May Set Aside The False Image 

And 

By The Love Of Jesus Christ ... The Great Physician

Display The True Me ... The True You! 

Our Savior Could Not Lie 

And 

Let Us Die Lost! 

He Had To Live The Truth 

And 

Die The Death 

So That We, Convicted Of Sin And Of Righteousness

May Ultimately In The Father's House Of Joy And Peace 

Eternally Live! 

Masks Cast Shadows Which Hide The True 

And 

Highlight The False: 

This Behavior Practiced By Satan 

Placed Our Lord Upon Calvary's Cruel, Accursed, Cross! 

Today Is The Day Of Salvation 

When We Must Throw Off The Mask Of Sin 

And 

Let The Light That Is The Life Of Our King Jesus 

Shine In Our Eyes 

Revealing Our New Lives! 

Nothing That Defiles May Enter The Glorious City 

And So 

I Beseech Us All To Get Rid Of Anything And Everything 

Which Will Stop Grace And Mercy 

From Transforming Our Lives! 

The Death-Mask Of Sin Is For A Time: 

Nothing That Bears The Stench Of Finite-Time 

Will Enter Eternity! 

Be Transformed: 

Renew Your Mind! 

Let The World See Jesus Christ In You! 

Smile: 

Drop Sin And Self 

And 

Keep Salvation 

And

Recognize That We Are At The Last Mile Marker 

On The Road To Home! 

Be Real! 

Get Ready! 

Be Redeemed! 

Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: JOYS FOREVERMORE: All The Way With Christ Jesus!

We Must Come To Totally Trust Our Lord Christ! 

If ... When ... The Lord Jesus Sends You On One Of His Errands

He Will Provide The Means To Get It Done 

And

Will Show You The Method To Accomplish The Work! 

When The Lord Delivers Us From One Of Our Sorrows

He Delivers Us To Himself 

To Experience One Or Any Number Of His Determinate Joys! 

Beloved, 

Our Lord Does Not Say "Joy Comes In The Morning!" 

If He Cannot Cause Morning To Break! 

He Does Not Say That He Will Turn Our Mourning Into Dancing 

If He Is Not The Creator, Composer

And 

Conductor Of Music ... And Joyful Celebration! 

Our Jesus Says "Lean Not Unto Your Own Understanding!" 

Because 

He Provides You With His Wisdom! 

Jesus Christ Is Our Only Peace 

Because 

He Will End Our Every War! 

He Is The Light As He Extinguishes Darkness! 

He Is The Life Of Every Man 

Because 

He Is The Author Of Life 

And

Has Conquered Death! 

Jesus Christ Will Supply Joys Forevermore 

Because 

He Is The Joy Of Living 

And

Grants Eternal Life! 

Our Lord Christ Saves Us 

Because 

He Is The Savior

And 

He Will Redeem Us 

Because 

He Has Already Paid Our Purchase Price! 

Our Blessed And Beloved Jesus Will Come Back For Us 

Because 

He Promised To Return As He Was Leaving Us Behind 

To Go To Our Father! 

Our Lord And God Known Almighty Is Able 

And

Everything That He Has Said That He Will Do

He Is The Power To Accomplish It! 

Jesus Christ ... The King Of Glory

Asks Us To Trust Him 

And 

He Gives Us An Each-Day Gift Of 

A Measure Of His Faith 

To Use To Trust Him At His Word Aka The Truth! 

Remember, Remember

Don't Ever Forget ...

A New Day To Live

Brings A Fresh Supply Of Faith 

To Use To Honor The Lord! 

Choose To Be Blessed! 

Choose To Believe God: 

Please Use Your Gift Of Faith For Today!

 

Peace That Comes From The Prince Of Peace

Is

Perfect Peace:

Peace Be Upon You!

CO-OPERATING WITH CHRIST: Counting The Costs!

 

Are You Choosing To Live Consciously Aware That 

You Are A Personal Beneficiary Of The Goodness Of 

The God Of Glory Who Reigns And Rules In Heaven Above 

Or

Are You Just Drifting Along Like Any Ungrateful Child 

Taking What Daddy And Mummy Has In Store To Give 

As Your Right Because ...Well

They Brought You Into This Cruel World Without Your Consent 

And So

They Owe You Whatever You Demand

No Questions Asked

No Answers Given!?! 

Are You Perhaps, By Some Weird Happenstance

Taking Love Of The Everlasting Sort For Granted!?! 

Stop It! 

There Is A Parable In The Peeling Of A Carrot

Opening A Cabbage Head

Skinning And Figging An Orange

And 

Scraping Ginger Root! 

Once You Break The Bonds

Aka The Ties That Bind The Whole In Place

They Can Never Be Put Back Together Again! 

Once The Whole Becomes Parts, Pieces 

Forward Motion Must Be Maintained

And 

The Predetermined Outcome Is Evidenced: 

Intended Use

Misuse

Or 

Refuse! 

Intended Use Satisfies! 

Misuse Hurts The Abuser! 

And

In The Spiritual Realm

Refused, Abused, Discarded

Aka Garbaged Love, Grace, Mercy, Salvation, Truth

And Light

And Peace

Results In The Bold Ingrate-Abuser Becoming 

Refused And Rejected

And 

Discarded Into Outer Darkness 

... And Burnt Up ... 

Never To Be Seen Again! 

Are You Counting Your Costs In The Here And The Now!?! 

Have You Considered That 

Your Built-up Tomorrow-Land Castle 

Will Be No More Than Pounded Sand!?! 

Whatcha Yuh Gonna Do Then!?! 

Beloved, 

Please Put Your Spiritual House In Upward Way 

Aka Traveling 

Aka Homeward Bound Order: 

Trip Tickets Issued Are Always One-Way! 

Please Cooperate With Christ: 

Make Him First In Your Life!

Peace!

Double-Minded Christian!?!

Just In Case We Conveniently Forgot The Fact

Neither Love And Hate

Good And Evil

Truth And Error

Light And Darkness

Friend And Foe

Faith And Doubt

Cowardice And Courage

Nor Bitter And Sweet 

Can Exist In Or Proceed From 

The Same Source At The Same Time: 

These Things Cancel Out Each Other! 

We Cannot Bless And Honor 

And

Curse And Humiliate A Person In The Same Breath 

And

It Is Certain That We Cannot Praise God 

And

Pet Satan At One And The Same Time! 

Beloved, 

A Double-Minded Aka Two-Faced 

Aka Deceitful Christian 

Has To Be Most Miserable, Unhappy

Dangerous Traveler Under The Sun: 

We Cannot Live Like That And Rise Up To Glory! 

Wittingly Building Our Dream House On Sinking Sand 

Marks Us As Devoid Aka Empty Of Wisdom 

And 

Her Understanding 

And

Patently Shows Us To Be Incapable 

Aka Unable To Use Received Knowledge For Profit: 

This State Of Affairs Should Not Exist 

Because 

There Are No Fools In The Kingdom Of God! 

We Cannot Go Forward By Walking Backward 

And

We Cannot Show Love By Serving Hate! 

Jesus Christ The Lord ... The King ... The Judge

Is 

Truth, Love, Light, Life 

And

The Only Way Home To The Father's House!

Remember, Remember

Don't Ever Forget ...

We Are Jesus Christ's Followers

The Salt Of The Earth 

And 

Light Of The World 

And 

We Are Being Blessed To Become Like Him 

So Dare To Firmly Fix Your Focus On Your Father 

Who Is The Same Yesterday, Today And Forever!

Digging Down Is Death: 

Look Up

Build Up

And

Live To Rise Up To The Heavenly Glory Of Our Lord!

Christians Committed To Christ

Do Not Scatter What He Has Sown

But

Faithfully, Diligently

Sow Good Seeds With Him

With The Hope For An Abundant Harvest!

Moths And Cockroaches

Look In The Mirror!
    Look At Your Self!
        Look At Your Life!
Now I Ask You Quite Plain: 

Who Are You!?!

Who Are You Planning To Be!?!

Is Your Practice

Following The Master's Plan!?!

Are You A Child Of The Day!?!

Who Will You Be

On The Day That Has No Night!?!

When The Lord Christ Shall Come
There Will Only Be Two Types Of Persons On This Planet: 
Condemned Unbelieving Cockroaches 
And
Commended Believing Moths! 

Jesus Christ Is The Light Of Life
The Light Of The World 
And
The Enduring Faithful
The Saints Of God And Christ 
- The Moths Who Love And Gravitate Towards Light -
Will Ascend To His Glorious Side! 

By Contrast
Those Willing Sinners Who, Like Cockroaches, Despise Light
And 
Especially Adore The Darkness 
Because 
The Darkness Covers Up Their Nefarious Deeds
Will Run Away From The Lord To The Rocks And Hills 
Pleading For Shelter 
To Hide Them From His Disclosing-Deeds Light: 
It Ain't Gonna Work! 

Beloved, 

We Must Be Born Again! 
We Must Put Away  All 
Habits
Inclination
Deeds
Desires
Entanglements
And 
Nocturnal Practices 
That Shall Surely Cause The Great King To Say To Us:

"Depart From Me! 

I Never Knew You!" 

Beloved, 

Be Sure Of This One Thing: 
What Is Done In The Darkness Will Come To Light! 

All Hidden Sins Will Be Found Out
So, Please, I Beseech Us All
Stop Rubbing Cockroach Legs In The Darkness 
And
Choose To Flutter A Moth's Wings In The Light Of Jesus Christ 
Who Is Soon Coming For His Faithful Children! 

No Jesus: No Peace!

Know Jesus: Know Peace!

Greed For Gain!?!

The Message You Are About To Receive Is True!
No Names Have Been Changed
For No Guilty Human Is Innocent!

In AD-31 Jesus Christ
At The Order Of The High Priest
Was Betrayed By Judas Iscariot
His Friend And Companion
- Who Ate His Bread -
For A Measly 30 Pieces Of Silver!

At Today's Money Value
That's $3,000+/-

And

The Sale All Started With The Expedient:

"It Is Preferable That One Man Die ...!"

Imagine Heaven's Sorrow!

Caiaphas Did Prophesy
And 
With Greed For Gain As The Sin Stain
Eternal Motions 
Were Put In Irreversible Train!

AD-2019 ...

A Man's Soul ... For A Vote
Is 

Sold To The Highest Bidder
For What Is ... In Essence
A Mere ... A Measly ... Groat!

At Today's Money Value
That's $0.03 aka Three Cents!

Imagine Heaven's Horror!

Jesus Christ Died
To Save Mankind Defiled
So That ... Upon His Merit
Fallen Man Could Before The Father Appear
And That 
Without Trembling Fear!

The Shame Of It All

Is
That The Eternal God
Came To Reposition Man
To Appear Before The God Of All
Set Apart
Justified
Whether Man Believes It Or Not!

Blessed Is The Man Who Believes
And

Does Not Jesus Christ's Sacrifice Deny!

Problem Is ...

Faith Comes By Hearing
And
Hearing By The Word of The Lord
But
How Can Man Know Jesus Christ
When The Powers That Be ... Say
Personal Knowledge Of Christ
Is 

A Wicked Device
And
That Knowing Christ Is Not Necessary
To Get To Our Father God For Life
When To The Contrary
Jesus Christ Himself Said
That The Only Way To Get To His Father
Is 
To Go To The Father Through Him
And
In His Name!?!

Don't Borrow Sorrow!

Don't Reject Everlasting Life

And At The Revealing Reel In Horror!

People Need To Walk Wise!

People Need To Trust And Obey! 

True, True

But 

Many Christians Eat At Cafe Cut And Swallow

Bistro See And Feel

Cucina Name It And Claim It

And 

Refuse To Go To 

The Mega-Supermarket Buy, Cook, Sit, Eat And Enjoy Truth! 

Facing Facts ...

There is a Veritable Feast At The Table Of The Lord

Where Chewing Is A Requirement
But

Few Enjoy The Good Food 

Because 

Their Taste Buds Are Thoroughly Corrupted By Sin 

And

They Don't Want To Have Them Reconditioned 

By The One Who Is The Way 

And

Who Is Truth And Light

Leading To Eternal Life! 

I Hear That!
Change Is Necessary!

Here Is Love ...

We Are Not Left On Our Own To Die In Our Sin!

A Blind Baby Knows  
His Mother's Voice, Touch, Smell, And Feel! 
He Senses Her Love And Responds To Her Emotions
And 
He Knows That She Is Beautiful 
Because 
She Loves Him! 

We Should Always Be Willingly Responding To The Lord!

The Lord Loves Us More Than Our Mothers Do! 
He Cannot Forget Or Ignore Us 
Whose Gift Of The Indwelling Holy Spirit 
Blesses Us With A Continual "Look" At His Face! 

Even Blinded By Sin
We Know The Love Of Almighty God 
And 
Can See His Face ... Through Faith
In The Person Of Jesus Christ! 
Love For Our God 
Will Help Us Keep His Commandments!

Greed For Worldly Gain Is A Known-Demonic Device!

Yes, Indeed
So Do Not Permit Unprofitable Gain
To Deny You That Which 
Places You ... Perfected ... In Paradise!

INCOMING: Strange!

Almighty God's Great Grace 

Is 

Free

To All Who Choose To Believe

And

Not To Those Who Choose

To Let Themselves

By Satan Be Deceived!

Something "Strange"
Is 

Afoot On This Planet!
What It Is!?!
I Cannot Fathom It:

• A Tangerine Alligator
• A Green Puppy
• A Three-Parent Baby
• A Hubby That Is A Mummy And A Daddy!
• A Son Who Is A Daughter And A Boy And A Girl Choosing The Day Of The Week To Decide Which Day Will See Their Cute Curls!

What's Wrong With Being Satisfied With What You've Got!?!

What's Wrong With Make-Do!?!
What's Right About A Green Baby Dog!?!
Who Painted That Alligator Tangerine!?!
Was It Perhaps You Know Who!?!

This Would All Be Hysterically Funny
If 

It Was Not A Crying Shame
But
Forgive Me

Because 

I Forgot That I ... Being Regular Normal

Believing The God Of Heaven

Living By Holy Faith

Trusting In The Merits Of The Shed Blood Of Jesus Christ

And

Striving For The Mastery

That Purchased Victory Over Sin
Is 

The One Who Is Now Regularly Called Strange!
I Know I Don't Have The Mange!

I Don't Know What Will Happen
Five Minutes From Now
But
I Do Know That The Lord Christ Is Soon Coming!
I Also Know That There Is Nothing New Under The Sun
So ... Look Out, World!

The Unbelievably Different

The Strangely Weird

The Spectacularly Mind-Blowing

The Awe-Inspiring

The Down-Right Demonic 

Is

On The Horizon

And

Even Now

Is 

Already Showing Its Benighting Face!

Have You ... By Living Faith

Availed Yourself 

Of

Almighty God's

Can't-Fail

Presently Available

 Saving Grace!?!

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

Are You Trusting

The Sight Of Your Lying Eyes

And

Crediting Signs

And

Unimaginable Wonders

As

The Working Of The Living God

Instead Of

The Sure And Secure
"Thus Saith The Lord!?!"

Man's Purchased Salvation: The Ploy To Destroy Access

For Safety
For Salvation
For Service
For Soul Satisfaction
For Security
We May Present Our Selves
Before Our Savior
So Do Not Trust The Word Of 

The Sadistic Serpent, Satan
Who Loves To Know That He Is Thought Of
As Some Silly Cartoon Ineffective Devil Elf!

In That Wily Guise
Satan. Has. Power.
To Annoy

To Deceive
To Destroy
To Make Purchased Souls His Doggy Chew-Toy
And
Make Jesus Christ's Free To Man
Soul Salvation
Appear As Something Less Than Real Joy!

Modus Operandi ...

By

P erverting The Gospel
L ying On Holy Truth
O Obfuscating Pertinent Details And
Y anking The Wind Out Of Man's Heading To Zion-Ship's Sails
He Stalls Man's Forward Momentum

In The Hope Of Denying The Opportunity

To Be Made Whole, Be Renewed

And

With Obedient Endurance Until Life's End

To Enjoy The Life That Blesses With Eternal Youth! 

Brethren, 

Don't Study The Devil's Tactics
To Know How To Defeat Him!

Study The Ways Of Perfection
And
You Will Always Have Your Kit On Hand
For Known Devil Detection!

Think Christ Is Life Is Christ To Defeat Death!
       Think Christ Is Peace Is Christ To Defeat War!
              Think Christ Is Truth Is Christ To Defeat Lies!
                     Think Christ Is Light Is Christ To Defeat Darkness!

Hope Dispels Doubt!
Faith Illuminates Grace!
Mercy Displays Freedom!
Truth Strobes Salvation!

Salvation Holds Forgiveness For Sin
Which ... Without Confession And Repentance
Moment By Moment Goes Like A Slum Dog With Mange
Crying, Crying, A-Begging!

Do Not To Despair Cave!
Jesus Christ, Alone, Saves!
Don't See To Believe!
Believe And See
That Our Savior Defeated
Death, Hell, And The Grave
Sin, Self And Satan
To Show Us How Not To Be Slaves
But
To Be Overcomers
Blessed
Beloved Of The King
Desired In The Kingdom Of Grace
Which Shall Be By The Kingdom Of Glory
Very Soon Replaced!

Don't Give Up Your Place!

Do Not Let The Image Of God In You
Be Effaced
By The Father Of Lies
The Murderer Called First
The Cause Of The Curse
The Initiator Of War
The Purveyor Of Hate
The Writer Of Songs Where Truth Is Misplaced
And
Self Is Glorified
Sin Is Sanctified
Satan Is The Savior
And
The True Savior Of Man Is Denigrated
Defied
Denied
And
Suicide ... Self-Murder The Salve
Is
Lavishly Applied As The Healing Balm
To Make All Things Desired "Just So!"
To Make The Life Without Christ
Appealingly Show And Glow
And
The Practicing Of Sin For Satisfaction
To Grow, Grow, Grow!

The Lord Christ Is From Above: He Lifts!
Satan Is The Undertaker: He Grifts
And
All Who Do Not Know This Difference
Will Be As Stiffs
In The Mortuary Of Time
Waiting Unwisely
For The Chime
Declaring That Time
Is
No More
Closing Mercy's Door
And
Disclosing The Wrath Of Justice
Served Cold
To Burn Hot
With Fire Unquenchable
Because
No Hand Shall Put It Out!

All Within The Flames
Shall Be Consumed
Becoming Dust Under The Feet Of
The Saints Of God And Christ
Who Trusted, Believed
Honored, Worshipped
Obeyed 

And

Endured All
To See The Face Of Him
Who Is Every Willing, Believer's Perfect Joy
And

Perfect Peace!

They Did Not Fall For The Ploy Of
The Salvation Thief In Chief!

Need Relief!?!

The Great Physician
Is
Jesus Christ The Righteousness
Who Always, Always, Blesses
Who Always, Always, Saves!

Truth Is Pertinent:
I Cannot Count The Ways!
