Love Is When ...!

Love Does Not Seek To Hurt! 

Correcting Someone In Love Is Not Abuse! 

Telling Someone That They Are Wrong 

Is Not 

Hating Them

Truncating Their Growth

Or Denying Them Their Right To Self-Expression! 

Beloved, 

Love Desires The Best For The One Loved! 

Love Does Not Seek Selfish Pleasure 

And 

Neither Does It Seek To "Bless" Itself 

By Maliciously Belittling Others! 

Love Is Not A Weather Station

A Balloon That Goes Up And Down 

According To The Temperature In The Atmosphere! 

Love ... Of The Godly Sort

Gives Good Gifts Of Grace 

And 

Is Merciful Even Though It Is Misused, Abused

Offended

Neglected

And

Even Discarded 

By The One Loved Who Does Not Know 

How To Rightly Respond To The Love That 

Expects Nothing In Return 

Save To See The Beloved Being Blessed 

Saved

And 

Sealed! 

Questions Deserve Answers ...

Who Is The One You Love 

Who Takes ... But Never Gives

Expects ... But Never Contributes

Demands ... But Never Delivers

Hopes ... But Never Helps

Sins Joyfully ... But Never Sings Gratefully!?! 

Are You, Perhaps, The One Loved!?! 

Think Critically, Carefully, Calmly, About It 

And

By Almighty God's Amazing Grace

Let Love Not Be Proud

But 

Simple, Kind, Giving, Forgiving

Great 

And

Godly! 

Love Is Divine: 

Love Is Of Almighty God! 

Please Give Godly Love Today!

 Peace!

THE DEVIL'S FOUR D's: Guard Your Heart!

Guard Your Heart! 

Satan Aka The Devil ... The Adversary Of Our Souls

Uses Four Little "D's" 

Against Those Of Us Who Have Chosen 

To Walk Softly Before The Lord Of Life! 

Doubt ... The Opposite Of Faith

Discontentment ... Which Encourages Us To Indulge Envy

Discouragement ... Which Promotes Lack Of Trust In God

And 

Disregard ... For The Word Of Our God Eternal 

Which, Left Unchecked

Will Surely Lead To Destruction And Damnation! 

Beloved, 

Know This: 

Satan Is The Father Of Lies 

So Anything That He Throws At You 

Has Not A Strand Of Truth's DNA In It! 

Doubt Decimates: 

Embrace Your Daily Gift Of Faith! 

A Contented Heart Can Eat Grass And Still Get Fat: 

The Lord Always Supplies Our Needs 

Out Of His Riches In Glory! 

Discouragement 

Is 

A Cheap Screen To Obscure The Light Of Truth 

Who Is Love And Peace 

And

Your Only Way To Enjoy Eternal Life! 

Please, I Beseech Us All

Never, Ever, Choose To Disrespect The Creator God

By Disregarding His Holy Word

His "Thus Saith The Lord!" 

Words Have Weight

Power 

Content

And 

Intent Aka Intention! 

The Word Of Almighty God Is Truth

Aka Saving Truth

And

Truth Stands Eternal! 

Faith Cannot Fail: 

Be Strong In The Lord!

Diligently Work Your Faith 

And 

Be Eternally Blessed! 

Peace!

 

Permission To Be Loving ... And Honest!?!

One Of The Most Lawless Statements 

Ever Uttered By A Human 

Is 

"It Is Okay

To Be Loving And Honest

At The Same Time!" 

Lord Jesus, 

Please Save Us From Our Own Folly! 

Beloved,

 

Love And Honesty Are Irrevocably Bound Together! 

Love Without Honesty Is A Lie! 

Honesty Is Truth With Love! 

Love Is Always Honest: 

God Is Love! 

Love Is Always Truthful: 

Jesus Christ Is The Truth! 

Love Lights The Pathway Home! 

Home Is Where Jesus Christ Is: 

Jesus Christ Is Home! 

Home Is Filled With Light! 

The Light Of God Is Life! 

Jesus Christ Is The Way

The Truth

The Light

And 

The Life Of Every Man! 

The Love Of God 

Is 

The Light In Every Man! 

Almighty God Is Good! 

Good Never Changes! 

Love Never Changes! 

Love Is Honest! 

Love And Honesty Equal Life! 

Love Doesn't Lie: 

Love Your Neighbor As You Love Yourself! 

Please Remember This: 

The Dishonest Heart Will Never Enter The City 

Where Love Divine ... Love Eternal 

Dwells! 

Peace!

Man's Permission

To Be Loving And Honest

At The Same Time

Is

The Excuse

To Be Hateful And Dishonest

When "Necessary!!" 

Appearances Reveal A Lot!

 

If Your Bird, Your Cat, And Your Dog All Bark 

Which One Is The Real Guard Dog!?!

Nature Wins Out! 

Think About This ...

If Your Church Pastor Is A Noted Bass-Man 

Who Is Suddenly Singing Soprano

And Is A Man At The Church 

And The Lady Of The House Called Home

A Day Trader 

And A Night Walker 

And

Preaches The Most Riveting Sermons Of Truth 

About Another Jesus And Another Gospel

Is He Still The Anointed, Appointed

True, Faithful, Servant Of The Holy God!?! 

Dear Lord!

Even On Paper, This Looks Evil!

Who Is He!?! 

Who Are We!?!

 

What Are We All Saying And Doing!?! 

Are We All Alright With Our Lord!?! 

Beloved, 

Goods Come In Various Sizes, Colors, Packages

Prices

And 

For All Tastes! 

Some Are Good And Delicious! 

Some Smell Sweet But Are Deadly! 

Some Taste Horrid And Are Healthful! 

The Good And Healthful Come In Simple Colors 

And 

Plain Packaging

And 

The Sweet And Deadly Are Delightfully Packaged 

To Overload The Senses! 

How, Then, Does One Shun All Evil 

When Good For You Ain't Appealing To You!?! 

Work Your Gift Of Faith ...

Choose To Trust The Word Of The Lord

Follow The Great Example Aka Jesus Christ

And 

Don't Ever Forget That Good, Right, Truth, Light

Love, Joy, Hope, Peace

And 

Blessing Have No Need Of Added Color

A Run Through The Spin Cycle

The Tender Devotions Of The Polish Brush Or Cloth

Or A Whiff Of The Perfume Called Purity! 

All The Gifts Of God Are Good 

And

A Million Years From Their First Appearance 

They Will Still Look, Smell, Taste

Feel, Speak

And 

Definitely Do As Ordered By The Creator God! 

Inside And Outside

Are The Same Thing!

Goodness Doesn't Need To Glory

Change Its Nature

Speak Itself Into Relevance

Or Be Fashionable 

To Fit In To Execute Its Mission! 

Our Good Lord Jesus 

Is 

The Same Real Savior 

Yesterday, Today, And Forever! 

There Is No Evil In Our Blessed-Forever Jesus: 

Embrace Him

And

Trust His Heart! 

Peace!

If Something Has The Look Of Evil

Don't Make Jokes

And

Call It A Masquerade Costume!

**--**--**--**--** 

A Washed Sow Is Still A Pig

And

A Pig In Pearls

Can Still Tear You Apart!

 

The Evil That Men Do Lives After Them!

There Is The Famous Expression Which Says: 

"The Evil That Men Do Lives After Them!" 

But

Have You Personally Considered That The Reverse Is Also True: 

"The Good That Men Do Lives After Them!?!" 

Beloved, 

Being A Free-Will Agent

With Freedom To Choose To Do Either Right Or Wrong

Love Or Hate

Do Good Or Evil

And 

To Dwell In The Light Of Life 

Or

Abide In The Darkness Of Death

Which Would You Honestly And With Wisdom Choose!?! 

The Children Of The Light 

Aka The Children Of Day

The Children Of The Heavenly Father 

Should, Without Hesitation Or Reservation

Choose Love, Light, Day, Good, Right

And 

Eternal Life! 

Anything That Is Lawless Aka Sinful 

Has A Short Shelf Life When Compared To Eternity 

So Don't Waste Time 

Going After What Shall Not See The Light Of Life 

After The Lord's Appearing! 

Goodness Grows! 

Hope Heals! 

Happiness Elevates!

And 

Truth, Saving Truth, Radically Transforms! 

Sooo, How About Building 

A Sure House With Bricks Of Goodness 

And 

Plastering Them With The Cement Of Truth!?! 

How About Panelling Your Walls With Trust In God!?! 

How About Having Windows Made Of Faith 

And 

Your Stairways Constructed From Endurance!?! 

Brethren, Beloved

Please Make Your Doors Out Of Obedience 

And 

See That Every Nail And Screw Used 

Is 

Of The Living Word 

Which Unerringly Preserves The Inhabitants! 

Do You Know The Pedigree Of Your Legacy!?! 

It Is Not Too Late To Change Direction! 

Jesus Christ, Alone, Saves

And

Always To The Uttermost! 

Peace!

Heaven Will Be Worth It All!

Practice Make Practical 

Aka What You Practice 

You Become Efficient At Performing! 

If You Make A Habit Of Being Kind

You Act Kindly! 

If You Practice Cruelty

You Act Cruelly! 

Beloved, 

The Nature ... The Character Of Our Lord Christ

Which He Requires To Be Reproduced In His Children

- The Saints Of God And Christ - 

Demands That We Practice Gentleness, Goodness

Kindness, Temperance Aka Moderation

Love, Justice, Faithfulness, And Truthfulness

And 

Be Giving And Forgiving! 

Is It Going To Be Easy!?! 

No! 

Can It Be Accomplished!?! 

Yes! 

Is It Worth The Effort Required!?! 

Most Certainly! 

Should I Be Willing To Try!?! 

Only You Can Answer That! 

Remember, Though, No Risk ... No Reward!

No Cross ... No Crown!

Is There Help Available!?! 

It's Just A Prayer Away!?! 

But What If There Are Slip-Ups!?! 

He Who Says Do It Is There To Help You Up 

And

Get You Back On Track! 

Dear Ones, 

Acquiring Bad Habits Requires No Effort: 

That's As Water Down The Hill! 

Acquiring Good Habits Requires Time

         Blood

                  Sweat

                           Tears

                                     Prayers

Endurance

         Faith

                 Hope

                          Love

                                  Trust 

And

The Patience Of The Saints 

Who Are Standing Firmly 

On The "Yeah!" And "AMEN!!!" Promises Of 

Their Creator, Savior, Lord, God, Redeemer, King 

And 

Forever Faithful Friend! 

Pray ... Because He Cares! 

Do ... Because It's True! 

Testify ... Because It Edifies!

Praise ... And Be Raised! 

Peace!

THE UPWARD WAY: Jesus Christ Calls Us!

 

Satan 

And 

All Those Persons Activated Or Indwelt 

By Demons Aka Fallen Angels

Do Not Fear To Whisper Or Scream At Us 

Who Sincerely Call Jesus Christ Lord And God That 

We Will Never Amount To Anything In This Life 

Because 

We Are Defiled, Ugly, Unsavable Sinners 

Whom The Almighty God Will Never Have To Abide 

In His Holy Presence! 

A "Good" Lie

Always

Contains Some Truth!

Beloved, 

Don't Believe Or Even Think To Engage With The Liars! 

Yes, We Are Sinners ... Born 

But

Because We Have By Free-Will Chosen 

And

Are Daily Choosing To Trust The Lord Christ At His Living Word

We Are Sinners-Saved 

And

Are Daily Being Sanctified Aka Set-Apart For Holy Use 

And 

Are By Grace Through The Gift Of Daily Faith 

And

Worshipful Obedience

Pressing On The Upward Way 

To The Glorious City Of God! 

Truth Sets Us Free ...

Sinners Make Sinning Their Practice

Aka Their Chosen ... Preferred ... Way Of Living! 

Sinners-Saved 

Aka Saints Of God And Christ By The Holy Spirit's Working

May Sometimes Sin 

But

Willing Sinning Is Not Their Habit

Nor Their Reason For Living! 

Never Forget This Truth! 

The Lord Jesus Christ Who Lovingly Calls Us

Equips, Teaches, Corrects

Guides 

And 

Graciously Provides All That We Need 

To Get Us Home Safely! 

Brethren, Beloved 

You Are Personally Called To Be Like The Lord Christ 

And

You Will Be 

If

You Believe The Lord Of Glory

Sternly Rebuke The Liars

And 

Enduring Stay True To The Plan Of Sure Salvation!

To Obey Is Better Than To Sacrifice! 

Look Up Longingly!

Pray Without Ceasing

And 

Walk Straight ... Home ... On The Strait And Narrow Way! 

Daily Choose To Work Your Faith! 

Peace!

YOU'RE FORGIVEN: Forgive Yourself

 

We Would All Do Well To Understand That 

When We Are Accepted Into The Family Of 

The Eternal God Known Holy

Our Pasts As Whore, Whore-Monger

Murderer, Liar

Robber, Sodomite

Instigator Of Strife, War-Monger

Idolator Or Agent Of Satan

No Longer Has Relevance! 

Unlike Humans

And 

Satan And His Hell-Bound Hoard

Jesus Christ, The Lord Of Life

The King Of Love

Having Fully Accepted Our Confession And Repentance

And 

Having Cast Our Repented-Of Sins

Into The Depths Of The Sea

Will Never Reap Up Our "Old Deads"

When We Forget Ourselves 

And 

Act Like The Back-End Of A Runaway Horse! 

Since The Lord Forgives Us Our Trespasses

Please Do Not Ever Be So Wicked To Yourself 

Or 

So Disrespectful To Your Maker As To Utter The Words 

"I Can't Forgive Myself!" 

Or

Permit The Accuser Of The Brethren, Satan

To Cause You To Doubt The Lord 

And 

His Holy Word 

And

His Precious Promise Of A Future 

And 

The Expected End Of A Home 

In The Father's House Of Love! 

Jesus Christ ... Our Shepherd Of Rest

Is 

The Light Of The World: 

Stay Safe In The Light 

And 

Follow The Lord Where He Safely Leads You! 

Please Don't Ever Doubt The Truth! 

Almighty God's Gift Of Forgiveness

Is

Available, Full, And Free: 

Pray! 

Confess! 

Repent! 

Walk Holy! 

Forgive Yourself 

And

Choose To Forgive Others 

And

Live Free! 

Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: PRACTICAL CHRISTIANITY: Keep Satan Miserable!

 

Just Because You Could Do Something

It Doesn't Mean That You Should! 

Just Because You Have Something

It Does Not Mean That 

You Don't Need The Savior's Blood! 

Just Because You Are Dissatisfied With Your Life

It Does Not Mean That 

You Should Make Others Dissatisfied With Theirs! 

Just Because You Love To Hate

It Doesn't Mean That You Should Hate To Love! 

Beloved, 

Misery Likes Company! 

Satan Is Miserable:

Disappoint Him In His Efforts

To Bring Forth Your Destruction

And

Keep Him That Way! 

Hate Hacks Out A Home! 

Doubt Constructs A Development 

And 

Seeks A Destination! 

Truth Is! 

Trust Will! 

Hope Holds Heads High! 

Endurance Always Tries! 

The Praying One Pleads

Plants Seeds

And 

Patiently Plods On To Paradise! 

Patience Is Practical! 

The "Practical" Christian Works 

And 

Watches As He Waits On The Praying-For-Us Prince

Our Prince Immanuel

Who Is Shiloh ... Our Peace! 

Peace With The Lord 

Makes The Way Home Plain 

And

The Journey There A Precious Priority! 

Practice What You Preach! 

Walk Wisely And Not Wildly 

And

Ever, Always, The Ways Of Satan Revile! 

Rid Yourself, By God's Great Grace, Of 

Sin's Embittering Bile 

And 

Do Not Our Blessed Lord's Name 

And 

His For-You Sacrifice Defile 

By Being A Child Of Satan By Proximity! 

Pray For Yourself

And 

Help Others! 

Peace! 

Our Father Invests In Our Potential!

When A Company Invests In Its Workers

It Puts Its Money Behind Its Talk! 

It Uplifts Its Employees 

To Elevate The Company In Its Customers' Eyes! 

Our Father In Heaven 

Chose To Personally Invest In Us

His Wayward, Disobedient, Willful

Doubting, Disbelieving Children! 

To Prove Our Father's Great Love

His Only Begotten Son Willingly Offered Himself 

As The Perfect Sacrifice To Ensure That 

We Have A Priceless Education In The School Of Jesus 

With The Holy Spirit As The School Master Without Equal Or Better

The Holy Angels As Premium Body-Guards Excelling In Strength

And 

The Perfect Book Of Truth And Wisdom As Guide Book

Work Book

Road Map 

And 

Eternal Light! 

Graduates Receive A Prepaid, First Class, Ticket

Royal Garments

New Name

New Character

New Body

Gold Crown

Gold Harp

Water Of Life

Fruit From The Tree Of Life

A City Apartment

A Country Home,

An Eternal Education

And 

Face To Face Interaction With Our Father 

And 

Our Benefactor! 

Beloved, 

You Have Access Which Has Reach 

And 

Grasp 

Which Allows You ... By Your Personal Desire 

To Hold Eternity In Your Hand! 

Dare To Walk Wise Unto Your Own Soul's Salvation 

Even If It Means 

Walking On The Path There Alone! 

He Who Invested In Your Future Loves You 

Even With Your Known Ugly Past

So Please Don't Waste Your Opportunity 

To Be Like Jesus Christ, The Lord

The Giving And Forgiving, Kind, King! 

Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Time And Chance!

Time Is A Precious Commodity 

And

A Non-Renewable Resource! 

It Flows In One Direction 

And 

Is Like A Water Course! 

Time, Just Like Water, Finds Its Own Level: 

The Lay Of The Land Determines The Waters' Flow 

And

The Thoughts Of Our Minds Determine, Good Or Bad

How We Spend The Limited Funds 

On Our Debit Card Called Time! 

Chance Aka Opportunity

Is 

A Thing, Once Missed, Which Can Never Be Recaptured! 

Chance Is Like A Beautiful Sunset

Or A Snowflake

Neither Of Which Is Set To Be Repeated! 

Beautiful Sunsets Will Be Seen Again 

And 

Snow-Flakes Will Fall Again

But 

They Will Never Be Those Experienced 

On The Day Called Yesterday! 

Beloved, 

Our Lord Has Given To Each Of Us 

A Winding-Down Clock With Time Marked Off 

In Increments Called Chance ... Opportunity

To Become As He Is

By Doing Good

Living With Love

Serving Others With Caring

And 

Walking Wisely According To The Will Of God 

So That When The Clock Silently Alarms 

And

Forever Stops

That The Book Of The Deeds Of Your Lived Life 

Will Bear The Eternal Mark: 

"Sealed And Saved! 

Well Done!" 

Please Don't Waste Time 

And 

Lose Your Chances To Be Blessed 

By Blessing Someone 

In Jesus Christ's Dear Name Today 

And

Every Day! 

Peace! 

SLY MONGOOSE: Warnings Are Meant To Be Heeded!

We Say That We Love The Living, Known-Almighty, God! 

Almighty God Is Love! 

Love Is Of Almighty God 

So, Therefore, We Are Boldly Saying That 

We Love Love! 

If We Love Love, We, By Extension

Must Love What, Who, Love Loves! 

Do You Love Yourself!?! 

Do You Lovingly, Caringly, Love Others!?! 

Do You Love Your Neighbor 

As You Love Yourself Aka Your Own Body!?! 

Do You Love The Lord ... The King Of Love

With All Of Yourself Aka Body, Mind, Spirit, Strength!?! 

Beloved, 

Let's Get Real And Realize That 

While We May Fool Humans Like Ourselves 

With Lying, Corrupt, Words Which Satisfy The Ear 

But 

Deceive The Longing Heart

We Are Incapable Of Deceiving The Lover 

And Creator 

And Sustainer 

And Maintainer Of Our Own Souls! 

The Lord Jesus Christ

Knows All The Thoughts 

And 

Intents Of Our Hearts 

And

The Things That Motivate Our Words ... True And False

And 

Our Every Action! 

Do You Still Want To Deceive Yourself 

Into Believing That All That You Do In The Shadows

In The Darkness

And

On The Sly

Will Remain Unknown!?! 

Don't You Think That 

The Heads-Up In The Scripture That Warns Us That 

We Cannot Mock The Lord Of Life 

Or Hide And Reap What We Have Grown 

Should Be Gratefully Heeded!?! 

Remember, Remember 

Don't Ever Forget ... 

We Reap What We Sow 

And 

We Eat What Grow! 

The Lord Of Earth And Glory

Means Exactly What He Says: 

Love Does Not Lie, Leech, Nor Leave Us In The Lurch! 

Think About It 

And 

Learn From It! 

Peace!

Follow The Lamb That Blesses Sheep!

Which Statement Will You Ultimately Utter!?! 

"I Am Glad That I Had Daily Taken The Lord Christ 

For My Hope, Help, And Salvation

My Everlasting Portion!" 

Or 

"I Bitterly Regret That 

I Did Not Take Jesus Christ 

As My Savior, Lord, And God!?!" 

Are You An Obedient Sheep 

Willingly Following Where The Good Shepherd Safely Leads 

And Confidently Feeds You 

With Food Good For Every Personally Known 

And Individually Named Member Of His Flock 

Who Recognizes And Only Answers The Call Of His Voice

 

Or

Are You A Wayward, Wandering, Constantly Straying Goat 

Who The Shepherd Repeatedly Has To Chase After 

When You Follow Fads, Fashions, And Follies!?! 

Beloved, 

The Willing To Be Saved 

Walk Wisely In The Blessed Ways Of 

The Master Of The Wind Who Stills Storms

Casts Out Demons

Heals The Lame

Gives Sight To Blind Eyes

Unstops Deaf Ears

Seals Against The Wrath To Come

And 

Raises The Dead In Christ 

To Life Everlasting With Jesus Christ The Righteous Judge

The King Of Love 

And 

The King Of Glory Who Loves Us With An Everlasting Love! 

Please Remember That 

Obedient, Saved, Sheep Eat Green Grass 

And 

Drink Pure Water 

And

Have Coats Of Wool As White As Snow 

Because 

They Are Washed In The Blood Of The Lamb 

Who Is The Shepherd Leading Them To Eternal Peace 

And 

Perfect Rest! 

Sheep Safely Graze 

And 

Tranquilly Rest:

Find Your Peace In Jesus Christ The Lord!
