VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Grace Is Strength And Truth Is Light!

Since God Is Our Refuge And Strength 

And Jesus Christ Is The Word 

And The Word Is The Truth 

And The Word Is God

Then 

Jesus Christ Is God, Our Strong Refuge! 

Since Grace Is Strength 

And Truth Is Light

And Light Is The Life Of Every Man

And Jesus Is The Light Of The World

Then 

Every Man Needs Life

Every Man Needs Jesus Christ

Every Man Needs God Who Is The Author Of Life 

Who Gives Faith Without Which No Man May Please God 

Who Reigns And Rules 

And Has Provided Rules For The Road 

Upon Which Man Must Obediently Travel With Endurance 

If 

He Is To Get Home To God 

Who Is Both Kind King And Righteous Judge 

And High Priest And Advocate 

Who Was Made Sin For Us 

But 

Was Sinless

And Spotless

And Blameless

And Clean To Clean The Spotted

And Pure To Purify The Putrid

And Is Love Loving The Unlovely 

Who Unwisely Reject His Wisdom 

Which Is Truth Pointing To Life 

Which Lights This World Of Sin 

Whereon Dwells Sinners 

Whom He Calls To Receive Salvation From The Friend 

Who, Indeed, Is He Who, Alone, Saves Sinners 

Who, Indeed, Are We All 

Who Must Confess And Repent Of Our Sin 

If 

We Are To Stand Forgiven And Cleansed 

Before The Throne Of Grace 

Which Throne Belongs To Christ Who Is Our Righteousness

Who Is Our Refuge And Strength From In The Beginning 

Where God Created The Heavens And The Earth

The Sea And All That Is In Them 

Whether Fallen Or Standing Firm In The Faith Of Jesus

The King Of Glory

Who Invites Us Willing 

To Enter The Abode Of The Blessed Of God And Christ 

Who Is Our Only Hope For Help, Healing

And 

For Heaven At The Last Trumpet Of God 

Who Is Holy, Just, And Ever True! 

Think About It

And 

Believe And Live! 

Peace!

Law-Abiding, Immoral, Or Amoral!?!

Would You Ask For And Accept Help From 

Someone That You Knew Hated You!?! 

Are You A Commandment Keeper!?! 

Are You Immoral Knowing Right From Wrong 

But 

Maliciously Doing It Anyhow!?! 

Or 

Are You Perhaps Fashionably Amoral

Neither Recognizing Nor Accepting That 

There Should Be Any Law Governing Your Behavior!?! 

Are You Living Out The Word That 

You Are The Light Of The World 

And 

Being That Beam That 

Encourages Others To Walk Safely To Safety!?! 

Are You Living As The Tasty Salt Of The Earth 

Which Generates A Deep Thirst In Others 

Who Are Desiring To Know The Mine Aka The Mind 

From Whence Your Flavor

Your Joy, Peace, Goodness, Sweet Temper

Temperance And Gentleness Comes!?! 

Beloved, 

Satan Hates Our Lord Jesus And, So, He Hates Us: 

Do Not Desire His Dainties Which Are Laced With Death! 

An Amoral And An Immoral Christian Isn't! 

Love For Our Lord Christ 

Commands And Displays Our Obedience! 

Our Lights Brilliantly Shine 

And 

Our Salt-Selves Season! 

Please Let No Created Being 

Encourage You To Long For What Can't Pay 

And 

To Walk On The Path Own-Way! 

Commandment-Keepers Don't Die 

To Then Nash Their Teeth And Wail In Outer Darkness! 

Commandment-Keepers Sleep 

To Rise Up And Reap The Sweets 

Aka Enjoy The Myriad Blessings Of The Living Kingdom! 

Be Wise! 

Peace!

Let Your Light Shine Before Men!

We Christians Are Called ... By Jesus Christ

The Light Of The World! 

How Sad It Is Then, That 

Most In The World Look Questioningly, Cross-Eyed

Or With Raised Eyebrows 

Wondering What Kind Of Christians Many Of Us Are

And 

Asking What Kind Of "Light" We Are Shedding! 

Beloved, 

Let's Take Heed To Ourselves!

 

Be Careful How You Walk! 

Be Mindful Of What You Say And Do! 

Be Wise Unto Your Own Soul's Salvation 

And

See To It That Your Behavior 

Is Not 

Causing A Longing, Wandering, Seeking Soul 

To Turn Away From Saving Truth 

... And ... 

Be True To Your Calling 

To Be An Honest Steward

A Willing Witness

And 

A Loved, Loving, Child Of The Eternal God 

Through Jesus Christ Our Lord! 

From This Moment On

By The Available Grace Of Our Loving God

And

By The Holy Spirit's Leading, Teaching, Feeding 

And 

Correcting

Let No One Have Cause To Question Your Christianity 

Or Your Commitment To Our Lord Christ! 

You Didn't Buy Your Name: 

It Wasn't On Sale! 

Your Name 

Is 

Blessed, Holy, Everlasting

A Gift Of The Holy God

A Deposit ... If You Will ... Toward The Great Day 

When Having Assimilated The Total Character Of Christ

You, Perfected, Immortalized, Glorified

Shall Enter The Family Home On High 

To Live Eternally! 

Pray For Oil And Light Up! 

Shine, Dear Christian!

Shine!

Redemption Song

Redemption Song

a lie was told

godhood the goal

no death know good from evil

Eve ate the fruit

Adam shared the loot

we're naked but oh, how we feel the knowledge!

garments once bright

lost that great light

excommunion … leave thou Eden's Garden!

thistle and thorn

raise wheat and corn

sacrifice a lamb so you have modest clothing

childbirth in pain

first son named Cain

tilled he the land his sacrifice was not accepted

Abel was type

always did right

sacrificed to God a lamb as was instructed

anger in Cain

killed Abel great shame

vagabond marked no one can ever kill him

so now you see

problems for you for me

original sin we need a savior

third child arrives

Seth by name survives

The Savior comes right down through his lineage

one glorious night

Bethlehem was starry bright

appeared Prince Immanuel the Light of the world

age 30 baptised

age 33 crucified

He'd preached salvation for you and for me

Christ died He arose

He's alive all is disclosed

Coming again for His children living in the Light

keep hope alive

live right and strive

for God's Kingdom coming and a home by and by

pray to the Lord

stay in His Word

He's coming soon He's even at the door

amen amen

amen again

His Kingdom come again and again AMEN **BJC**
