Pride, Lust, Sin ... Loss!








The Living God ... Alone
Determines
What
Is
Sin!


Sin ... Depending Upon Your "Personal" Perspective
Is 
Either Decidedly Appealing 
Or Perfectly Appalling! 

Lust, Specifically
Is 
The "Most Delicious Aphrodisiac" Known To Mankind 
And
That Is Why Satan Always, Always, ALWAYS
Strikes At Us Through The Lust Of Our Eyes
The Lust Of Our Flesh
And 
That Unchained Bug-Bear
The Pride Of Life! 

There Is No Lust Without Pride 
And 
There Is No Pride Without Lust! 

Beloved, 

Any Overwhelming Desire 
To Have What Is Not Yours To Have And To Hold 
Is 
Sinful 
Because 
It Separates You From The Living God 
And 
Makes You A False God 
Because
Like Lucifer-Now-Satan The Damned
You Become Willing To Destroy Another's Character 
And
Ultimately Their Life 
To Have What That Person, By Right, Possesses! 

What Is Ruling You!?! 

What Is Driving You To Distraction!?! 

Are You Willing To Lose Eternal Salvation 
To Gratify Temporary Satisfaction 
Which You Already Know 
Is 
Pushing You To Disaster!?! 

Are You, Self-Deceived, Saying 
"If I Could Just See, Taste
Touch, Smell, Feel, And Enjoy 'It' Just Once
I Will Die Happy!?!" 

Back-Up Off That Delusion
And 
Dare To Remember That 
A Mouthful Ain't A Meal 
And
One Scratch Doesn't Satisfy A Deep-Seated Itch! 

Lust Always Leads To Loss 
So Please Remember That 
Only Jesus Christ The Righteous
Satisfies Our Needs! 

Straighten Up ... By Available And Saving Grace
And 
Take Your Burdens To The Lord Of Life
And
Leave Them There! 

Peace!

UNGODLY LUST: Godly Desire!

 





Desire 
Is 
Beautiful And Ugly
Enlivening And Deadly! 

When Desire Is Motivated By The Lust Of Our Flesh
It Becomes Ugly And Deadly 
When Left Unchecked! 

When Desire Is Motivated By The Love Of The Lord Christ 
And
Conveyed On The Wheels Of Faith 
Carrying A Flatbed Of Trust 
Occupied By A Heart Headed To Higher Ground On The Upward Way
It Is Beautiful ... Enlivening 
And 
Gloriously Blessed
And
Daily Life Is Lived Without Unprofitable Stress! 

Where, With Whom
And 
For What 
Is 
Your Heart's Desire!?! 

Is Your Desire For The Here And Now
For The Seen And Heard
And
For The Touched And Felt 
Or 
Is It Holding Hope High 
And 
Choosing Strait Aka Hard And Narrow 
Instead Of Easy And Wide!?! 

Is Your Flesh Ruling Your Will 
Or 
Is Your Daily Gift Of Faith For Today 
Guiding You On The Wise Way 
Upon Which You Should Boldly Walk Without Worry!?! 

Beloved, 

Be Warned! 
When Putrid Pride Influences Personal Desire
Wisdom 
Is 
Decidedly Discarded 
And 
Folly 
Is 
Enthusiastically Embraced 
And 
Unwisely Elevated! 

How Do You Stand ... 

We ... As Committed-To-Christ Christians
Are Called To Be Wise
To Desire The Good Portion
To Remember Whose Children We Are
To Reject The Unclean Things
And
To Wait Patiently Upon The Lord 
As We Humbly Bear The Family's Name 
And
To Joyfully Tell The Good News Gospel 
To All Who Choose To Hear It! 

Brethren, Beloved

Let Us Willingly, Eagerly
Confidently Choose This Day
To Longingly, Lovingly, Lastingly Desire 
Our Lord Jesus Christ!

Precious Pearl OR Picayune Pawn!?!






He Who Truly Loves You
Created You
Saves You 
And 
Redeems You! 

He Who Truly Hates You
Uses Your Self Against You 
Via Pride 
And 
Greed! 

The One Whom You Choose To Obey 
Is 
The One Whom You Serve: 
You Cannot Serve Them Both! 

Both Of Them Desire You In Their Kingdom! 

Only One  Kingdom 
Is 
Eternal 
And 
Those Who Enter The Eternal Kingdom 
Live By Faith ... Never Sight
Because 
They Are In A Reasoning, Loving 
Knowing ... Always Growing
Grace-Filled, Mercy-Abounding
Enduring Love-Relationship With Their Master! 

Those In The Temporary Kingdom 
Are ... By Fierce Temptation
Enticed Into Its Unfruitful Halls! 
They Are Tempted By The Ever-Bold And Wandering Lust Of The Eye
The Always Excitedly-Hissing Serpent Lust Of The Flesh
And 
That Insatiable, Irrepressible Behemoth
The Pride Of Life! 

Beloved, 

We Have To Choose Between 
Grace And Greed
Lust And Love
Truth And Trickery
Blessing And Blight! 

Jesus Christ 
Is 
Creator Savior!

Satan 
Is 
Accuser Destroyer! 

To Jesus Christ ... The Righteous King
The Shepherd Of Rest
The King Of Love
The Hope Of Every Man
The Lover Of Your Soul 
The Strong Tower
Our Refuge And Strength
Our Ever-Present Help
The Joy Of Man's Desiring
The Word Of God
Food Indeed
Drink Indeed
And
The Light Of Life
You Are The Precious Pearl: 
He Loves You! 

To Satan ... The Damned
The Adversary Of Souls
The Accuser Of The Brethren
The Piercing Serpent
The Father Of Lies
The Murderer Supreme
And
The Wannabe God
You Are A Picayune Pawn: 
He Hates You! 

If You Say You Love Jesus
Please Keep Yourself Only Unto Him! 
Only Jesus Saves: 
Please Choose Life! 

As A Saint Of God And Christ
Solely Serve The Savior! 

Peace
Is Like
The River Glorious!

THE PLAN: Truth Stands!

Heyyyy, Bonitz!
Long Time No See!
How Are You Doing!?!

I'm Good, Carey!?!
What About You!?!

I'm Doing Well
And I'm Praising God, And Grateful!
I Haven't Seen You At Church Lately!
Are Things Okay!?!

Things Are Going Well!
I Have A New Church Family
And I'm Having Loads Of Fun!

New Church Family!?!
What Do You Mean!?!

You Haven't Heard!?!

Heard!?!
Heard What!?!

We All Go Down To CCM!

CCM!?!
Never Heard Of It!

You Must Be Kidding!?!
Girl, It's The Fastest Growing Ministry
In These Parts
With Standing Room Only For All The Services!

Really!?!
Please Tell Me More
And Start With That Name!
CCM Sounds Kinda Catchy!

CCM Stands For Cafeteria Church Ministries And ...!

... That Pastor Must Have Been Seriously Ragged
Growing Up With A Name Like That!

Oh, No!
You're Mistaken!
The Pastor's Name Is Idetentee Jusso!
Cafeteria Is Cafeteria As In Food Service
Make Your Selections
Pay Your Bill
Take A Seat!
Enjoy Your Meal!

Huh!?!

Seriously!
We Decide What We Want To Hear
When We Want To Hear It
How We Want To Hear It
And
To Our Individual Tastes And Temperaments
We're Suitably Edified:

No Hurt Feelings!
No Guilt Trips!
No Fear Of Flames!
Total Inclusivity!
Rainbow Warriors!
Personal Truth!
Authentic Living!
No Sinners!
All Saints!
No Sin!
All Salvation!
Common Good!
It's Amazing, And I Love It!

You Would!

Pardon Me!?!

Oh, My! That Doesn't Sound Good!
Uh, Which Bible Are You Using!?!

We Don't Use A Bible Bible!
We Have A Good Book Of Great Truths
With Daily Affirmations
And Selected Messages From
All The World's Great Religions!
After All, All God's Are Equal!

Wow!
That Sounds Like ...!
I Wonder What The Spirit Is Like In Your Service!

Girl, It's Off The Chain!
Everybody Is Happy, Excited, Laughing
Rocking, Running
And So, So, Very Loving!
Miracles Abound!

Signs And Wonders!

You Hit The Nail On The Head!
Signs And Wonders Always Appear
And Pastor 'Tee Always Gets A Word 
And A Wonder From On High
Whenever He Sits
In The Great White Throne Chair!

Achooo! ACHOOO!

Bless You!

I Feel A Cold Coming On!
Are You Still Praying!?!

Oh, No!
We Are One With Our Lord
So There Is No Need To State The Obvious!

So Oblivious!

You Mean Obvious!

No, I Said What I Meant!
You Are So Very Oblivious To The Truth!
You've Broken The Trust
And
Your Carnal Lust Is Propelling You!

You Once Claimed Christ As Savior
Lord And Master
And, Now
Instead Of Progressing
You're Making Retrograde Steps!

You're Letting A Charlatan
Tickle Your Fancy
Tickle Your Ears
And
You're Indulging Raging Lusts
Instead Of For Heaven
Getting Yourself Prepared!

Did Not The Lord Christ Warn Us
To Not Let Anyone Deceive Our Souls!?!
Did Not The Savior Warn Us
That Satan Does Appear
As An Angel Of Light
Wearing Bright And White Clothes!?!

Don't You Know That We Are Not To Be Comfortable
Living In Sin And Loving Self And Sin!?!

Don't You Remember That
In Order To Withstand A Spiritual Attack
That To The Savior
We Must Stay Attached!?!

Answer A Question For Me:
What Is Your Pastor Ideetentee's Definition Of Sin!?!

What, Exactly, Do You Mean By Sin!?!

Lord, Preserve Me!
Okay, Okay!
What Is YOUR Definition Of Sin!?!

My Idea Of Sin Is Unique To Me!
What Is Sin To You Is Not Sin To Me!
My Experience In My Personal Life
Determines How My Traumatized Child
Manifests Now In My Adult Life
And Is, Therefore, Subjective
Hence, For Me
There Is Nothing Called Sin To Infect
To Restrict 
The Actions Of My Life!
Only Self Can Define What Is Sin!

Ahhhm, Where Is Jesus Christ In All Of This!?!
What About HIS Definition Of Sin!?!

Oh, That Definition Was Fine Back Then
But We Are Evolved
And Knowledge Has Increased!
We Do Whatever Makes Us Happy!
No Harm: No Foul!

We Have Run To And Fro Around The World
And A Consensus By The Great Minds Has Been Reached:


  • Take Care Of Mother Earth
  • Have Respect To Father Time
  • Be Kind To Our Animal Brothers And Sisters
  • Do Lots Of Good Works, And
  •  Laud Self Above Everything


We Are No More Slaves!
We Are Sure To Do What Makes Us Happy!

Jesus, Savior, Pilot Me!!
Lord, Please Give Me Strength!
You Are Being Deceived And You Know It!

There Is No Man Comfortable In Sin
That Is At Peace With The Holy God!
You Are Playing With Fire
For You Are Shacking Up With King Fraud!

I Know That You Are A Parent!
Would You Give Your Child Whatever It Wants
Encouraging It To Do Whatever It Pleases
Including Living Wild
Ignoring The Obvious Rules Of The Road
Oblivious To Certain Peril
Just Because Desire Is Always To Be Satisfied!?!

Of Course Not!
That Would Be Very Foolish Indeed!

Dear God And Father Of Mankind,
Forgive Our Foolish Ways!

Please Tell Me, Then
In The Name Of All That's Holy
How You Can Think To Do An End-Run
Around The Living God
Your Father Which Is In Heaven
And
Get Away With It!?!

The Lord Has Given Us Rules For The Road
The Right Way To Live
How To Be
What We Can And Can't Do
How To Come
How To Go
What To See
What To Know
Because
We Will Be Reaping That Which We Sow!

Remember The Word:






No Man Can Stay The Hand Of God 
Who Is The Righteous Judge 
And 
Faithful Paymaster Of Us All! 

Has The Good Life
In This Happy Place That You Are Inhabiting
Caused You To Forget That
There Is No Changing Of Status
No Second Probation
And 
No Do-Overs After Death
Nor After Christ Comes!?! 

Uh, Ah, Umm ...! 

What's Wrong!?!
Have You Lost Your Mind And Your Tongue Also!?! 

I, Uh, Ahmmm ...! 

What's The Matter With You!?!
Come On! Speak Up!

I, I, Can't! 
I'm Soooo Unhappy! 
Please Help Me! 

But You Just Said How Happy You
And You Were Gushing About
All The Fun You're Having
With Your New Church Family!?! 

I Know ... I Lied ...! 

Come And Let's Sit On The Veranda
And You Can Tell Me The Truth! 

Oh, Dear! 
You're Not Going To Like It! 

If You Say So
But Tell Me Anyhow! 

45 Minutes Hours Later ... 

Bonitz, Please Listen To Me Carefully:

A Fire Too-Hot
Too Fast
Too Furious
Always Has An Accelerant!

A Christian Too Righteous
Too Religious
Knowing It All In One Day
And
Being Too Blessed To Be Stressed
Always Having The Sure
And 
Perfect Words For Self And Other's Answered Prayer
Also Has An Accelerant
And
Is Not Guaranteed To Go The Distance
Because Of A Thing Called Emotionalism!

Since Salvation Is A Process
- The Work Of A Lifetime - 
Emotionalism Is Not Going To Survive
The Upward Climb
Where Slow And Steady
Grace And Mercy
Faith And Work
Obedience
Defiance Of The Devil
And
His Pretty Works
And
The Slow And Steady Day By Day Plodding
Is 
An Endurance Walk 
And
Not A Buggy Race
For The Exertion Averse
Is 
The Only Thing That Works!

There Is Only One God Holy! 
The Other "Gods" Of The Earth Are False
And 
Can Never - Will Never -
Be Equal To The Eternal God! 

What Is Ours To Know Us
Is
Plainly Revealed In The Living Word ... Preserved
By The High And Holy Hand Of The Eternal God
And
Anyone Who Adds To The Word
Or Takes Away From The Word Of Almighty God
Is
By Almighty God Cursed! 
Revelation 22 Makes That Clear
And
The Wisest Man In Proverbs 30:6 Makes That Abundantly Plain! 

Miracles And Signs And Wonders
Are Not To Be Taken As Proof Of
Almighty God's Favor Or Approval! 
Satan Has The Power To Work Miracles
To Agitate Nature 
The Weather
- The Book Of Job Proves That -
And
Within The Boundaries Decided By The Living God
He Can Destroy A Person's Health
Wellbeing
And
Prosperity! 

Understand And Accept This ...

The Lord God Cannot
Will Not 
Stretch The Truth Or Tell A Lie
To Get You To Believe In Him
Or To Trust Him! 
In The Economy Of God
It Is All About Faith! 

You've Been ... Unwisely
Trusting In Your Lying Eyesight
And
Overwrought Emotions
And
You Have Permitted A Real Charlatan
A Wise-Acre Hustler
A True Con-Artist
To Relieve You Of A Goodly Portion Of 
Your Parents' Hard-Earned Money!

The Lord Had No Mansion
No Big Ride
No Servants
No Bank Account
And
He Did Not Speak With A Forked Tongue
Or Encourage His Followers
To Finance His Speculative Interests
Since He Had None! 

The People Of God
Need To Be Wise As Serpents
And
Harmless As Doves! 
There Are No Fools In The Kingdom Of God! 

Do You Realize
Do You Know That There Is
Joy And Peace In Believing The Living Word
The Choice Promises Of God!?!

Do You Recognize
Do You Accept That
When You Stand Aka Believe
And
Live In The Security
The Protection Of The Word Of God
That There Is No Created Being That
Can Cause You To Fret
To Be Anxious
To Be Afraid
To Doubt
To Disbelieve
That All Things
- Good, Bad, Ugly, Painful, Hurtful, Wicked -
Work Together For The Good Of
Those Of Us Who Are The Called
According To His Purpose!?!

The Lord Is Calling You!
Are You Answering!?!

I Am Trying ...!

When We Recognize That
This Life Isn't About Our Selfish Desires
That We Are Here In Boot Camp
Preparing For A Can't-Fail Mission
Under The Leadership Of A Can't-Lose Commander
Against A Can't-Win Adversary
For The Assured Glorious Prize
Aka The Purchased Redemption
We Walk Like Winners
We Talk Like Winner
We Live Like Winners
We Live Like Overcomers
We Live Like Saints ... Blessed
Bold
Bought
Believing
Bound ... For The Promised Land!

Jesus Christ Promised
Jesus Christ Bled And Died
Jesus Christ Got Up And Rose Up
Jesus Christ Is Preparing A Place
Jesus Christ Is Interceding
And
Jesus Christ Is Coming Back ... For Us
Who Believe His Word
Trust His Character
Live In His Light
Keep All His Commandments
Bless Him By Blessing Others
Telling The Good News
And
Are Washing Our Clothing
- Our Character -
In His Blood
Shed For Every Man!

Almighty God Is Ever Good ...

It Took A Miracle
And
It Requires Our Faith ... 
Believe Him 
... And Live!

Trust Him At His Word ... And Obey
Because
He Helps ... And Heals!
He Saves ... And Seals!
He Leads ... And Reveals!
He Opens ... And Closes!
He Knocks
And
He Ably Protects All His Flocks
In All The Various Congregations
And
He Is Assembling Them ... Us
His Children
His Brethren
Into The One ... The Only
Safe And Secure Fold!

Hurray For Woolly Sheep ...

A Lil' Faith Goes A Long Way
And
That Lil' Faith ... Exercised
Grows Into The Unwavering Faith
That Shall See Us Safely Esconced
In The Eternal Home!

There's Always A Hairy Goat ...

A Lil' Doubt 
Is 
Like Active Yeast:

It Changes The Structure Of Faith
And
Belief!
It Erodes Confidence In The Glorious King
And
Robs One Of The Peace Of God
The Likes Of Which
There Is No Counterfeiting
No Faking!

Sweet Girl, You've Got Some Hard Questions To Honestly Answer! 
Where Do You Stand!?!
Upon Whom Will You Henceforth Rely!?!
Are You Among The Kingdom Bound
Or
Are You Among The Wafflers
The Fence-Jockeys
The Doubters Damned
Those Flattered, Filled, And Fatted
On The Lust Of The Flesh
The Lust Of The Eye
The Pride Of Life
Those Who ... In The Day Of Vengeance
To The Rocks And Hills Shall
Uselessly Cry!?!

Truth Stands ...

Blessedly ... For Us All
U-Turns Are Permitted
Encouraged
In The Lives Of Those Who Finally See The Light!

Confession And Repentance Are Blessed Gifts
In The Lives Of Those Who Desire Spiritual Success! 

Don't Be Among 
The Helpless
The Hopeless,  The Hapless!
Jesus Christ Is Righteous
Reigning, Ruling, Returning
And
Only Those Standing 
Living And Abiding In His Love
Shall On The Wings Of The Wind
To Zion Be Riding!

It's Time With The Lord Christ To Be Siding!

I Can Now Honestly Say That I Agree!

AMEN!

SELF CONTROL: The Muscle Tussle!

Self Control
Is A Road
A Vehicle On A Road
A Seat In A Vehicle On A Road!

Self Control
In A Man
Is A Steering Wheel
In The Hand Of The Man
In A Vehicle
On The Road Called Life!

Self-Deceit
Sin
AND
Disaster
Are Deep Ruts In The Road Of Life
When Man
- Any Human -
Has No Self Control!

This Man's Vehicle Is Vanity
Intemperance ... His Wheels
AND
His Fuel Is Dirt Cheap
Because
He Buys It 
At Mobile Gas Station I-Feels!

Who  ...  But A Fool
Drives A Vehicle With No Engine
Or Sits In A Vehicle
That Has No Seat Cushion
AND
Whose Brake Line Has No Fluid
AND
Of Direction Has ... No Notion?!

Who ... But A Fool
Will Deign To Have A Feast
In A Speeding Vehicle
Possessing Neither Wind Shields
No Doors?!

Can You Drive A Vehicle
That Has No Spark Plug?!

Who ... But A Fool
Blindfolded
Inebriated
AND
Going The Wrong Way
Gets On The Expressway Of Life
Racing A Vehicle With A Broken Axle?!

Let's Get Real ...

The Man
The Woman
The Child
Without Self Control
Is A Weapon Of Mass Destruction
Stuck
In Self Destruct Mode
Wise
In Its Own Eyes
Confident
In Its Own Prowess
Sure
That Its Cause Is Just
Ignorant
That It Is Being Purposefully Driven
By Lust Of Its Own Eye
AND
Lust In Its Own Flesh
For That That Is
The Pride Of Its Own Life!

Let This Be Made Known ...

Self Control
Is As A Coal
From The Altar
In The Temple Of The Living God
Retrieved By The Good-Influence Angel
AND
Carried With Tongs
AND
Placed With Due Care
On The Tongue Of The Blessed
The Sanctified One!

Self Control
IS
The Gift Of God!

Self Control Is The Great Reminder!

DO NOT ACT LIKE:

KING SAUL
  
  • Grieving Away The Holy Spirit
GENERAL MOSES
  • Striking The Rock At The Waters Of Strife
NADAB And ABIHU
  • Placing Strange Fire On The Holy Altar Of Almighty God
ACHAN
  • Stealing The Dedicated Things
KING DAVID
  • Fornicating With Bathsheba
  • Murdering Uriah

KING SOLOMON
  • With 700 Wives And 300 Concubines Out Of Known Idolatry
JUDAS ISCARIOT 
  • Betraying His Master, Jesus Christ


WARNING:

When You Do Not Control ... Self
Self ... Controls You
And
In The Darkened Eyes Of Satan
THAT
Makes You
- Against Jesus Christ AND To Him -
The Perfectly Useful Usable Disposable Tool!


Exercise Your Self ... Control!
Through The Holy Spirit
Get For It Muscles
Because
If The Known Wicked Spirit
Controls Your Self For You
Against Sin
You Will Lose The For-The-Victory Tussle!
