PROFIT AND LOSS: The Call!

There Is No Profit In Disobedience!
There Is No Loss In Truth!
There Is No Gain By Deceitfulness
And
In The Regenerated Heart Of The Zion-Bound Soul
The Love Of The Lie Cannot Take Root!

We Who Are The Servants Of The Savior
We Who Are The Students In The School Of Christ
We Who Are The Children Of The Heavenly Father
Must
Strive For The Mastery Of Self
Discarding Sin
If
We Will To Overcome Satan In The Mortal Strife!

Unchecked Sin Is A Butcher's Knife!
Wine Of False Doctrine Does The Lord Mock
And
Strong Drink Makes The Unwary Mind Rage

And

Surprise, No Surprise 

Satan, Himself
Is 
The Distiller, Distributor
But
The Loving Ministrations Of The Lord Jesus
Removes The Chains From The Bound Slaves!

Please Do Not Lean On Your Own Understanding!
Tomorrow Is Promised To No Man!
Today Is The Day To Accept The Call To Salvation
And
To Get Out From Among The Damned-For-Eternity Clan!

Humility Obedience
Faith Hope 
And 
Trust
Prayer Praise 
And 
Worship
In And By The Saved Soul Are ... A Must!

Please Come To Jesus Christ Your Only Savior!
Please Commune With Jesus Christ Your One True Friend!
Please Bow Before Jesus Christ Your Creator
And
Give Unfeigned Glory To Jesus Christ The King
Your Hope
Your Help
The Judge Of All Flesh
- Our Soon Returning Lord -
And
The True God
Who Is In Perfect Control Of Every Single Thing!

Deny Satan The Wannabe God
And
Accept Jesus Christ The Righteous
And
Your Will Receive The Saint's Reward!
Give Unto The Lord Your All!

PROFIT And LOSS: Insight And Foresight!! + Prayer





If I Wittingly Willingly Give Up This World Now
To Gain Heaven Later
I Also Get The Earth Made New ... Later
AND
I Get Both ... Forever!

My Present Loss By Foresight
IS
My Eternal Gain
By Blessed Insight!

If I Wittingly Willingly Give Up Heaven Later
To Get The World Now
I Lose Forever ... Forever
AND
My Now Has No Later!

My Present Gain
IS
My Eternal Loss
BECAUSE
Insight Was Rejected
AND
Foresight Studiously Ignored!

I Don't Know About You, But ... 

By Faith
AND 
In Certain Hope
I Lose To Gain!

Let Me Put It Another Way:

My Mother Gave Me A Large
Heavy
Gaily Decorated Fruit Basket ... With Extras!
It Was A Delight To My Thirsty Eyes
AND
Carnal Heart!

My Basket Contained
- Amongst Other Things - 
A Blank Check
AND
A Bearer Bond
A Hand Of Bananas
A Cluster Of Grapes
A Dozen Oranges
Nine Mamie Apples
Six Star Fruit
Three Avocados
One Pawee Mango
A Deed To A Candy Factory
AND
A One-Way Ticket To
"Do What Thou Wilt!"
In That Beautiful Land
- That Tries Men's Souls  -
Time Flies When You're Having Fun!

She Then Calmly Said:

When (No If) You Get Into Trouble
Have A Difficulty
Need A Friend
Desire To Truly Get Ahead
Want To Get Home
Require Good And Sound Advice
Need A Forever Blessing
Or
Just Want To Talk
Call Your Father! 
He'll Always Answer!
Listen, Listen, Listen To Your Father! 

She Then Put Me Out Of Her House
Threw A Suitcase Behind Me
AND
Shouted:

That Is What Your Father Left For You!

I Missed My Duhduh! 

I Sat On The Sidewalk
Stunned
Slightly Bewildered
BUT
Thoroughly Excited For, Well
ADVENTURE!!

I Was Free To Be ... Me, Me, Me, MEEEE!!! 

Truth Be Told ... 

I Wasn't Quite Ready To Be A Pop-Kite Just Yet
Soooo
I Called My Granny, Watch N. Pray!
Of Calling On The Living God
She Does Not Miss A Way
Nor A Day!

Long Short Story Short ...

I Moved Into My Granny's House
Next Door To Willful Blindness
And Across From Belief S. Belief
And Perpendicular To Truth N. Error!

Behind The House
And A Ways From The Bridge Over Troubled Waters
Was Stradling D. Fence
The Lineman
AND
Next To Him Was Wild N. Free
The Graphic Artist
Who Was Rearing A Free-Range Child Called
Tek A. Knee!

When I Was Settled In My Granny Place
I Finally Took The Time
To Look At My Duhduh Suitcase!

Color Me Delighted And Shocked! 

What At The Distance
Looked Like Pretty Scroll-Work
Was Actually Writing On The Panels
In Clear Script
In What Used To Be Yellow Gold! 

The Words 
(My Father Loves Me!) 
Said:

Be Careful Of The Fruit You Eat!
Eating Candy Is Not Always A Treat!
Doing As You Like ... Now
May Give You A Thrill
But
KNOW THIS:
The Bearer Bond May Be Lost
The Blank Check Is Crossed
AND
Sweet Life Does Not Last!
A Starving Prodigal Will Eat Pig Swill!
AND
A Troubled Spirit Will Covenant Secrets Spill!
Don't Grieve Away The Holy Spirit!

Be Wary Of Where You Choose To Sleep!
AND 
Let Not Physical Beauty Go To Your Head
If You Want Your Head To Keep!

The Book Inside ...
Please Put Its Words On Your Inside
And
In The Lord Of The Book
You May Confidently Confide
Because
For You And Me
And All Who Will Believe
He Conquered Sin Death Hell And The Grave
And Is In Heaven
Interceding With The Father God
And For Us
Preparing A Place!
Whatever You Do
DON'T!!! Make A Shipwreck Of
Jesus Christ's Faith!!

Of The Mingled Wine
Do Not Take A Taste!
Pray The Promises! 
Trust The Eternal Word!
Run The Race For The Win!
Get Shuck Of The Goat Herd!
Don't Profane God's Word!

Trust Me!
I Have Never Told You A Lie:
Your Mother's Gifts Are Temporal
And Are Only Good For Now! 
Their Use Will Bring You Great Sorrow
For They Engender Confidence In Self
And In That Satan
Masquerading As A Benignant Storybook Elf! 
Please Place Them Into The Suitcase
AND
Use The Good Book As Your Life-Guide!
Everything You Need
To Prepare Your Soul For Eternity
Is Between Its Covers Inside!

The Holy Spirit Will Teach You And Chide! 
Holy Angels Will Protect You
And Influence You For Good
And With The Heavenly Intelligences Cooperating
Sin Satan And Self
Will Be Withstood!

Study The Book! 
Redeem The Time! 
Look Up! 
Do Not Turn Aside To Fables! 
Reason With The Holy God! 
Deny The Liar:
He Is The Cast Out Of Heaven Fraud! 

I Thought For A Long Moment ...

I Was Sorely Tempted
Truth To Ignore!
I Could Go Hog-Wild
AND
Eventually
End Up Eating Swill
Instead Of Enjoying A Chill-Pill
Or I Could Go Long For Long-Term Gain
AND
Forget Temporal Power And Fame!

It Was A Choice Between Distant  Shadow
AND
Present, Held, Substance!

I Was In A Bind
A Pickle
Between A Rock And A Hard Place ... But ...

At Length
My Momma's Own Words
Enlivened My Mind:

Trust Your Father!

Before Long ... I Cried Unto The Lord:

Hear My Supplication! 
Forgive My Sin - I Have Many! 
Do For Me
What Only The Eternal God Can! 
Give Me A Clear Way
To Walk Into The Holy Land!
Please Short-Circuit
Satan's Obvious Plans
For
I Desire To Reside
In The Delightsome Land! 
If You Will Go With Me
And
Bless Me
You Shall Be My God
And
I Shall Worship You
As Long As My Life Shall Last!

Let Not The Destroyer
Over Me
Gain The Upper Hand!
Help Me To Be Contented 
With Manna From Your Holy Hand
And
To 
Not Desire The Dainties
From The Flesh-Pots Of Sin!
Help Me To Humble Myself Before You!
I Am Approaching You, Lord
My Faith Showing, Bold!
AMEN.

Renewed ... 

I Pointed My Life Toward
The City Of The Blessed
AND
I Am Glad
That I Chose The Shepherd Of Rest!

I Have Lost Kindred
To Cushy Comfort And Careless Convenience!
I Have Made A Few Mistakes
BUT
With A Heart Fixed 
On The God Of My Father
My Life
Is Assuredly Not Sorry!
I Do Not Ride On Sin's Open-Back Lorry! 

As For My Heart
- God Willing - 
It Shall Assuredly Be Eternally Glad
When By Christ I Shall Be
Gold Crown Crowned 
AND
White-Robe Clad!

By The Way ... 

I Do Not Ever Wear Plaid!
Think About It!

Please ... 

Do Not Let Your Self By Satan Be Had!
Do  Not For The New Faith Fall!
Do Not To The Lust In Your Belly Crawl!
Purchased Pretties 
Turn Positively Putrid 
After Acquisition: Do Not Buy By Belly Nor Eye!

From Christ The Lord
Eye Salve
Linen White And Clean
And
Fire-Tried Gold
Buy!

Truth
Don't
Can't
Won't Lie!

HAPPY SABBATH + CHOICE: Profit Or Loss!




What Is The Point Of Earthly Gain
When There Is No Heavenly Profit?!
Where Is The Blessing
In Reaching The Success Pinnacle
Holding The Bank In Your Hand
Grasping The Grapes Grown By Felt Need
AND
Having No Access To Eternity
Because The Creator God
- Our Savior Redeemer Friend -
You Despised 
In Your Overarching Greed?!

In Your Hour Of Trial
Will Your False God Plead For You?!

Is Your Seen God
Your Refuge And Strength?!

Is Your Touched God
Your Shepherd Who Will Your Life Defend?!

Does Your Perishable Bounty
Come Without Sorrow?!

Is Your Blessing Today
Going To Bless You In God's Sweet Tomorrow?!

Does Your God Made
Give Unto You Peace And Rest
Or
Does Your God Only Heap Upon Your Weary Head
That That Gives Stress?!

Brother! Sister!
Hear Me Well:

All That You Have Will Perish!
That Is The Promise Of God
For
Man Brought Nothing Into This World
AND
He Will Nothing Take Out
Save A Name:
Saint!
Sinner!
Blessing!
Curse!

What Will Be Your Legacy?!

Know This ...

It Is Not Yet Too Late!
This Way To Destruction
- By You -
May Be Reversed
When You Give Your All
To The King Of Life
The Master Of The Winds And Waves
The Only One Through Whom
A Repentant Sinner's Life
May Be Preserved!

It Takes Just One Step
To Come To King Jesus!
It Just Takes One Step
From Sin To Turn Away!
It Just Takes One Step
To Have A New Beginning!
It Just Takes One Step
From Hell And Damnation
To Walk Away!


Are You Willing
To Reach For Salvation?!
Are You Willing
To Walk On The Path To Life ?!
Are You Willing
To Deny The Lie And The Liar?!
Are You Willing
To Accept The Free Offer Of
Eternal Life With The Lord Christ?!

Brethren,
When Here And Now
Is In Your Heart
Hereafter With Jesus
Will Never A Start
So
Look Beyond What Is
Unto That, That Is Promised
Believing That The Word Is Sure
AND
The Spilt Blood Of The Beloved Jesus
Is
- For Our Sin -
The Known
AND
Only
Cure!

Be Wise Unto Salvation!

Christians Shall See POLS!?!

You Who Faithfully Carry The Gospel Of Christ
Will Be Afflicted By POLS!

Pols?! What Is Pols?!
And Whatever It Is
Is There A Vaccine Against It!?

Isn't Pols Short For Politicians?!

Yes .. But Not In This Case!

POLS Is:

  • Peril
  • Opposition
  • Loss
  • Suffering

Jesus Christ Died!
The Disciples All Experienced It
AND
Whoever Takes Up The Cause Of Christ
To Carry Forth The Gospel
Shall
- By The Hand Of Satanic Device -
Feel The Sting Of Punishing Peril
Rabid Opposition
Searing Loss
AND
Harsh Suffering!
Please Know Of A Surety
That It Is Not The Thing Nice!


The Lord Helps Those
Who Help Themselves
To A Drink Of His Mercy
Sprinkled With Grace
Lifted
By The Hand Of Faith
Yielded
To Be Molded By
The Only One

Who Is Outside
Of
Time And Space!

Walk By Faith!
Never Walk By Sight!
Trust The Word Of The Lord

For
It Will Your Heart
AND
Your Life
Exceedingly Delight!

Earthly Pleasure Is Passing!
God's Paradise Is The Place True
AND
Victory Over Sin
Is The Only Pass
That Will See You
The Pearl Gates
Getting Through!

Getting Through 
Peril
Opposition
Loss
Suffering
For The Name
AND
The Word Of The Lord
With Enduring Faith
AND
Unyielding Obedience 

AND
Absolute Trust
Gives Paradise
To The Remnant

That Faithful Few!
I Am Striving For The Win!
Are You?!

Won't You?!


Seek
Eternal Life
Over 
Temporal Property!
