Taste Like Light And Shine Like Salt!

As I Was Saying
Tame Supplication ... Truth Be Told
Is
Dogging ...!

... You Mean Stalking ...!

... Alright, Already!

Tame Supplication Has Been Stalking Full Expectation
To Try To Find Out Why 
Said Stalker's Prayers Are Ineffectual!

$25.00 Word!
Got Any Cheaper Versions!?!

Would "Unanswered" Better Suit You!?!

Assuredly!

His Problem Straight Up, Though
Is That He Is Acting Foolish!

You Must Not Call A Brother A Fool
Or Foolish!

Why Not!?! That's How He Behaves!

Aren't You Behaving "Foolishly" As Well!?!

No! I Gave That Up A While Ago!

Brothers, I'm Lost!
Please Explain What's Going On Here!

Very Well!
The Fool Says In His Heart
"There Is No God!"

And 
Said Fool Repeatedly Refuses To Listen To Wisdom

And

Repeatedly Chooses To Perform Contrary 
To The Commandments Of God
And
Contrary To His Divinely Assured Prospects 
For Eternal Happiness!

Lord, Preserve Us!
Repeatedly Doing The Same Thing
And Expecting A Different Result
Is Called Madness!

And Coming To The Stark Realization That There Is No Profit
In Either Foolishness Or Madness
Is 

When One Starts Looking At And Into
The Lives Of Those Who Are Shining Lights And Tasty Salt!

Lights Taste Salty
And
Salt Shines Brightly!

The Name Of Jesus
And
Christian Character
Is Not A Uniform To Be Put On And Taken Off
According To Our Desires, Audience, And Venue!

When The Lord Is Within Us
It Shows In All That We Say And Do ...!


... And Let's Not Forget That 
Our Thoughts Are Often Displayed Upon Our Faces 
For All The World To See! 

Indeed!
At All Costs ... Guard Your Heart

Because

A Consistent Life Lived With, In, And For Christ Jesus
Blesses You, Your Observers And Associates
And
Our Holy Lord!

Think About This:

Think Brethren
About Why It Would Be
Horrendously, Soul-Searingly, Sad

To Gallantly Performs The Works Of The Living God 

And Yet 

Never Do His Will! 

That Way Of Life Is Not Praise-Worthy! 

Total Obedience Is Better Than Bitter Sacrifice! 

It Will Be Terrible To Lose Christ's Glory Because 

We Are Too Proud To Be Obedient
And Too Faithless To Endure 

And Do All That The Lord Requires! 

We Must Submit Our Will To Our Jesus

And 

We Must Walk Faithfully In His Holy Ways! 

We've Got To Be True To Our Calling
And

Faithful Until Death
For It Is Only At His Coming
That We Will Most Assuredly Be Eternally Blessed! 

Indeed! 

Eternal Glory Awaits Only The Enduring, Obedient, Faithful! 

May The God Of Glory
In The Name Of The Holy Jesus
By The Working Of The Holy Spirit Of Truth
And
With The Protection 
And
Good Influence Of The Holy Angels
Ever Excelling In Strength
Keep Us Faithful!

AMEN!!!

HAPPY SABBATH + Sin Will Not Last!

Inside The City
And
Outside The City
Were Human Through And Through!
Inside The City
And
Outside The City
Are Men Just Like Me And Like You!

Inside The City Was Thought To Be Wrong
- He Humbly Served The Risen Lord -
And
Outside The City Was Known To Be Strong
- He Served His Lusts And Lived Like The Fraud -
And
Under Normal Circumstances
This State Of Affairs Would Be Applauded
Because
The Unjust Judge Of Their Mortal Lives
Is 
A Tame Man That Carnal Men Lauded!

But ...

Normal Circumstances Are Abnormal To Be Sure!
The True Judge Of All The Earth-Bound
Was Standing At The Open Door!
He Called To His Faithful, Enduring, People
Who Had Committed To Living Inside The City
- The City Of Light -
Where Life Is Eternal
Where There Is No Mortal Strife
And
There Is All That Will The Saved Soul Delight!

Another But ...

These Days Were Funny Nights
For Those Who Had Made A Contract With Death
With Satan The Bold
With Sin
With Self
With Hearts Rendered Unfeeling ... Cold
With Eyes On The Main Chance
With Harsh Hands On Weak Men's Throats
With Hard Heels On Needy Men's Necks
With Tainted Taste Buds Loving The Abominable
With Tawdry Thoughts Toward The Husband, The Wife, Unlawful
On Murder And Mayhem
On Dishonoring Parents Considered Old
On Lying For A Conversation
On Refusing To Accept The Call To Conversion
And Instead
Choosing To Walk In Vain Wisdom
Doing That Which Pleases Self
Desiring The Distasteful
Demanding The Undesirable
Worshipping The Abominable
Honoring The Unholy
Building Houses In Sand
Ignoring The Holy Son Of God
- The Loving Son Of Man -
Choosing, Choosing, Choosing Broadway
Ignoring, Rejecting, Despising The Strait And Narrow Way
Calling, Always Calling, The Unwary, The Unwise
The Unwashed
Those Living In Circumstances Mean
To Ignore The Call To Christ's Salvation
To Live The Lie That Says Man Is God
That Satan Is Friend And Not A Murdering Fraud
That Jesus Christ Failed On His Mission To Save Man
That A Relationship With Christ Is Not Sound Advice
That Self-Denial Is Unnecessary Sacrifice
That Man-Pleasing Is A Pleasurable Delight
That Self-Sacrifice Is A Thing That One Should Hate
That Man Makes His Own Destiny
That Man Names His Own Fate
That Waiting For A Savior Is Just Cheap Click-Bait
That Jesus Christ Is Not Coming
Therefore ... He Will Be Late!

If Only They Chose To Know ...

Outside The City Is Lost-Man Domain!
Inside The City Is Saved-Soul Terrain!

Outside The City Is The Cast-Out, Condemned!
Inside The City Are Saved-For-Eternity, Forgiven Souls
Known Repentant God-Fearing Women, Children And Men!

Don't Trust Your Eyes ...

In The Present Order Of Things
Those Outside The City Are In The Right 
Rich
Blessed Of "God" And Increased With Goods
And
They Have Need Of Nothing
Including Their Creator, Redeemer
Jesus Christ The Lord
And
It Is For This Reason
That Satan Had Prevailed Against Them
And
In The Day Of Judgment
They Will, In The Lake Of Fire
Be Seriously Joining Him!

By Contrast
Those Inside The Holy City Will Be The Rejects
The Fools
The Despised Of The Earth
But
Praise God For Jesus
The Times Are Changing
Changed
And
Those Inside The Bright And Beautiful City
Are The Blessed
The Beloved Of Christ And God
Those Who Permitted The Holy Spirit Of Truth
To Guide Them And Chide
And
Bless Them With Loving Insights
And
Desires For Ever-Increasing Truth And Light
And
They ... Accepting The Gift Of Faith And Grace
Truth And Righteousness
Peace And Rest
Forgiveness And Mercy
Yielded Their Free Will
And
Their Free Choice
To The Sweet Spirit That Leads To Eternal Life!

For All Their Sorrows, Their Woes
Their Bruised Heads, Their Stubbed Toes
Their Confessions Of Known Sin
Their Humble Repentances
They Had Reached For The High And Holy Hand
And
Accepted The Free Salvation
The Saving Grace
The Promise Of Life Everlasting
And
Their Sin Being Cast Into The Sea Of God's Forgetfulness!

They Trusted In The Promises Given
Enduring, Working, Waiting, Watching
Believing, Receiving
Knowing That In Him Was No Deceiving
And
Now ... At The Last Trumpet
The Condemned Earth They Were Leaving
In The Zion-Bound Train
Jesus Christ The King Of Glory
Leading!

It Pays To Serve Jesus ...

Their Sacrifice For Him
Had Not Been In Vain!
They Had Not His Name Profaned!
Their Earthly Losses Had Gleaned For Them
Heavenly Gain!

For His Love
They Had Suffered Time And Again
And
Here ... At Last
Is The Day From Time Forever Past
And
They ... Triumphant
Enter Eternity
- That Realm Which Lasts, And Lasts -
Where Space Is Vast
And
No Shadows Are Cast!

Those Outside The City
Had Had Their Riotous Blast
And Now
They Shall From Time And Eternity
Forever ... By The Holy Hand Of The Judge
Be Cast!

Brethren,

At This Point
Sin Is A Thing Of The Past!

It Is Better To Be Lowly Servant

In The House Of The Living God

Than

To Be A Despoiled Prince

In The Pleasure-Palaces Of Satan

The Deceiver

The Condemned God-Fraud!

Handsome Dark And Light: Glow Spread

When The King Of Love Shall Come

There Will Be Moths And Cockroaches!

The Moths

Shall Run Unto The Light Of Life

And

The Cockroaches

Shall Seek To Scamper Into The Darkness!

This Is The Fact Of Life!

It Doesn't Have To Be That Way! 

******

In The Land Of Man

In A Time Called Now As Then

Lives A Person Called Light!

Wherever Light Went

People Loved How He Shone

That Is Until Handsome Dark

Rolled Up Against Him

Acting All Cool And Sophisticated! 

Handsome Dark Was New-Fangled

Fashionable

And 

Every Body Who Was Anybody

Wanted A Piece Of His Action! 

He Had More Moves Than An Octopus

And

He Was Acted Like A True Split-Ring:

He Could Get Around Anything

For A Certain Somebody

And

Allegedly At Any Time! 

He Even Tried To Speak As One Divine! 

You See, Handsome Dark Knew People

Who Knew People

Who Were People With Power 
And 
Prestige And Privileges

And

As Was To Be Expected

Kindly Light Lost He Lil' Pick!

Poor Light ...! 

Whenever He Would Try To Be A Bright Spot

In De Dark Place

Some Illuminated Smart Person 

Would Offer Him The Seven "G" Salute:

Good Gracious, Grunt! 

Go Graze Green Grass! 

Light Was Considered A Panacea ... For Fools
And
He Was Disdained 
Because 
His Shining Exposed Plain Truth
To Those Who Sought The Good Master
And
Desired His Grace-Filled Gift Of Eternal Youth! 

It Was So Very Off-Putting That Soon

Light's Soothing And Clearly Beneficial Glow Started 
... I Can Hardly Say The Words ...

Started To Dim

And 
Perceptibly So! 

Dark Days Were Ahead

And
They Were Of Such Depth That 
Handsome Dark Started Wearing 

... Excuse My Please ... 
A Crown On His Cue-Ball Big Head! 

Certain People Started To Go The "Think" Route

And Very Soon

Things, Strange Things, Started To Happen! 

I Should Tell You What Those Things Were

But

Such Things Are Not Fit For Decent People
- Those On The Upward Way -
To Converse Over 
As They Have Pear Leaf Tea And Soda Biscuits! 

It's Really Off-Putting!

Well, Well, Well ...

One Well And Truly Handsome Dark-Scheduled Day

Truth Got A Call From Grace

Who Was Walking With Mercy

Who Was Embracing Dear Faith

Who Was Guiding Baby Christian

Who Was Seeking Light

But 

Unused Light Was Doing Poorly!

Light's Points Of Contact
Those Who Should Have Been Working For The King

Were Covering Themselves With Error

Doubt, Gainsaying, Lies, Fables

Other Jesus, Another Gospel

Self, Personal Truth And Alternative Facts

And

Lord, Help Us

Parasitic  And Putrid Pride! 

The Lord Of Light Was Not Sleeping

And

Hope Appeared

And

Heart Whole

She Ever Soooo Gently Roared At Fading Light:

Jesus Christ Saves!

You Are Needed!

Spread Your Glow! 

And Don't You Know
As If Struck By A Cattle Prod

A Tazer
A Downed Electric Wire

And

A Lightning Bolt

All At One And The Same Time

Light Up And Said:

I Am Light!

I Glow

And

I Shed Light In Dark Places! 

Hope Replied:

Then Live Up To Your Name! 

Glow More!

Let Your Glow Spread

And

Give Good Light

To Dispel The Darkness!

Soon, Very Soon, I Tell You
The Whole Place Was Awash In Light

And

Handsome Dark's Thrall
His Miasma
His Blanket Of Blight
Was Being Dispelled

And

From The Vicinity Expelled! 

You Should Know That He Did Not Go Quietly

But 
Go, He Did! 

When The Proverbial Dust Had Settled

And

The Post Mortem Of The Events Performed

Seeking Baby Christian Asked The Million Dollar Question:

Why Was Light's Glow

So Easily Diminished!?! 

Surrounded By Mercy, Grace, Truth, And Faith

Glowing Light Knowingly Replied:

When Light Given To The Christian 

Is Actively Acted Upon

The Christian Receives More Light

For Personal Spiritual Growth

On His Walk To Beulah Land

But

When Heavenly Light Given

Is Rejected ... Poorly Received

Ignored

No More Light Is Given

Because

The More Light Received

The More Light Rejected

The More Chastisement

You Shall Receive! 

Brethren,

We Are Responsible For What We Know

And

For What We Had Opportunity To Know ... But Rejected! 

That Is Treading On Supremely Dangerous Ground! 

What You Know ... Share

And

Your Knowledge-Base Will Grow! 

As You Grow 

Let Your Life In And For Jesus Christ Glow! 

By So Doing

You Shall Never Know Condemnation's Cruel Blow!

The Way To Salvation

Is Not

A Reality TV Show! 

Truth And Light: Error ...!?!

Oh, Woe Is Me!
I Am Undone!
Truth Has Knocked Me Upside-Down
And I Cannot Get Up Nor Turn Around!

Liar! Liar!
Your Pants Is On Fire!
Truth Will Never Knock Anyone Down!
Truth Is The One Who Picks People Up!
Your Words, Friend, Are Truly Messed Up!

Did I Give You Leave To Speak!?!
Are You A Norwegian Or Maybe A Greek!?!
I Interacted With Truth
And Now I Am On The Floor
So Either Help Me Up
Or Step Outside My Side Door!

Don't Be Huffy!
My Name Ain't MaGuffy
But
You're Telling An Untruth
Whilst At The Same Acting Toplofty
And
Unarguably ... Mighty Stuffy!

Who Are You, And Why Are You Here
And Who Invited You To Seat Yourself
In My Best Comfy Chair!?!

I Am Light
And

Truth Is My Closer Than Blood, Brother
And
Wherever You See One
You Shall Surely See The Other!

Uh, Ohhhhhh ...!!

Yup! That Sounds About Right!
I Was Present
And
I Saw The Fight
And
It Was Error Who Threw You On The Floor
Because
Truth Had Enlightened Your Mind
And
It Had Made Cherished Error
Well And Truly Bitterly Sore!

Okie Dokie! My Bad!

Please Be Good
And 

Choose To Get Up
Because

You Are Lost If You Choose To Stay Down! 

Truth Must Be Told ...

Error Is A Clown
A Scary Clown Fishing
Causing You To Go Wishing
In The Well Of Sin
Where All Who Enter
Are Dead Men Walking
Unless
Until
They See Their Need For Salvation
And 

Turn To The Master Of
The Winds And The Waves
And
Choose On The Bread Of Life
Constantly, Constantly, To Feed!

Take Warning ...

Don't Act

Don't Be 

A Broken Reed!
See To It That The Truth For All Ages
You Diligently Heed!
Acknowledge And Accept
That In Your Life
The Lord Of Love
Light And Life
Is All Has Everything You Need
To Succeed

And

Cut The Cord Want

And

Forswear Greed! 

Wants Are Not Needs
And
For Gaining Soul Salvation
Remember That Self
Is 

A Pot-Bellied, Sway-Back, Broken-Down
Going Nowhere Steed!

Trust The Lord Christ

And

Believe Truth

And

See The Comforting, Enlivening, Light

And
Let The Holy Spirit Lead!

To The Eternal God

You Shall Then Be A Delight!

Fight Error

And

Champion Truth

And

Live In The Land Of Eternal Youth!

Peace!

Under-Cover Boss ... And Fine Print!?!

Imagine That!

What!?!

Jesus!

What Do You Mean!?!

Jesus Christ Is Our Under-Cover Boss
Living
In Plain Sight Of
Those Who On Him Believe!

Ohhhh!
You Had Me Going There For A Moment!

Jesus Said:

Who Is Not Planting With Me Is Against Me!
If We Are Not Planting With The Lord Christ
We Are Plucking Up The Beautiful Garden
Because
We Are Endorsing And Promulgating
The Known Strife!

The Lord Is Sowing Mercy!
The Lord Is Sowing Grace!
The Lord Is Raising Up A Harvest For Salvation
But
The Devil
- That Old Satan -
Is Adding Darnel
To Cause Many To Be Felled In Disgrace!

Oh, Dear!
Sad To Say That What You Say Is True!

Truth Be Told
Satan Is Robbing Men Of
The Gift Of Eternal Youth!

You Know
If We Will Learn All We Can About Christ Jesus
The One Real
We Will Never Be Mamaguyed
By The False One
The Known And Damned Disgrace!

Jesus Christ Has Made The Way For Man!
When We Choose To Believe Him
We Can On Truth
Against That Lying Satan
Firmly Stand!

When We Follow The Path Of Light
That Our Glorious Lord Has For Us Prepared
We Will Never Be Felled By Satan
Nor Will We Be By His Sophistries Ensnared!

Jesus Christ Is Available To All
And Plainly Visible To All
Who Call Upon Him For Sure Sight!

Satan Is Making His Way In Darkness
And
Darkness
Even Gross Darkness
Is
Enveloping The Sinful
Unrepentant
Unregenerated
Self-Indulgent People!

Think About It ...

Jesus Christ 
Is 
The Undercover Boss
Exposed To All
Revealing To All
The Delights Of Walking In Heavenly Light
Secure From Decimating Blight!

Satan 
Is 
The Undercover Boss ... Deeply Concealed
And
Introducing People To The Execrable "Pleasures" Of
The Dark Night

And
Causing Them To Believe That

There Is No Lord-Of-Life Flight

To The Land Of No-Night 

Where All Is To The Soul's Delight! 

Under The Cover Of Darkness
Sin Is Making Its Way
Into The Lives Of The Unsuspecting
Making Them War Against Him
Who For Their Own Sin Did Pay!

But ...

Jesus Christ The Savior Is Righteous!
Jesus Christ The Redeemer Blesses All!
Jesus Christ The Shepherd Is Calling
Unto All Those Who Under Sin's Curse
Do Fall!

Do Not Be A Slave To Emotion!
Do Not Be A Slave To Your Eyes!
Do Not Be A Slave To Consuming Passion
Because, Then
You Will Become A Slave To Satan's Lies!

Trust Jesus Christ For Your Favor!
Trust Jesus Christ For Eternal Life Free!
Trust Jesus Christ The Rock Of All Ages
Who Is Still Beckoning To Me And To Thee!

Heaven Is Free!

Hope Is Free!

Faith Is Free!

Grace Is Free!

Blessing Is Free!

Forgiveness Is Free!

Truth Is Free!

Always Read The Fine Print:

Love Is Free!

Immortality Is Free!

Incorruptibility Is Free!

Wisdom Is Free!

Folly Costs A Fee!
