SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT: SELF ... Daring Almighty God?!

... The Questions Are Simple:

Why Should Your Personal Choice Affect My Free Will?!
Why Should Your Freedom To Make Foolish
Even Egregiously Bad Decisions
Cost Me My Life?!
AND, FURTHERMORE Have You Even Considered
How Each Person's Free Will
Each Person's Free AND Personal Choice
AND
"No Man Knows The Day Nor The Hour 

WHEN The Son Of Man Cometh!"Intersect?!

I Once Heard A Pastor Say
That Because He Is So Certain
Of His Soul's Sure And Promised Salvation
That He Would Not Defend Himself
Against An Intruder
A Bandit
Even If It Cost Him His Life
Because
It Could Lead To
- AFTER 
His Demise -
That Bold And Ravening Sinner
Repenting Of Known Sin
AND
Coming To Jesus
AND
Being Saved For Eternity!

Maybe He Was Thinking Of What Jesus Said:

Greater Love Hath No Man

But He That A Man Lay Down His Life For His Friends!

And I Would Say
That He Is Wrong?!

I Agree!
Work Out Your Own Soul's Salvation!

Jesus Christ's Life
Is The Only Life
That Was 

That Is 

The Suitable Sacrifice For Sin!

Everybody Knows Right From Wrong!
God's Law Is Written On Every Man's Heart
So That They Are Without Excuse!

But What Of Innocent Blood As Seed?!

Indeed ...!

So We Come To The Crux Of The Matter ...

Tomorrow Is Not Promised!
Now Is The Acceptable Time!
Now ... Is The Day Of Salvation!

What Of The Martyrs?!

What About
If We Confess Our Sin
He Is Faithful And Just
To Forgive Us Our Sin
And Cleanse Us From ALL Unrighteousness?!

What About
If Any Man Hear My Voice
And Answer?!

What About Harden Not Your Heart?!

What Of 

Get Wisdom!

Get Understanding?!

What Of

Let Us Hear The Conclusion Of
THE WHOLE MATTERFear God
And Keep His Commandments
For The Living God IS Judge?!

What Of 

My Reward Is With Me
To Give Everyman According As
His Personal Work Shall Be?!

Harden Not Your Hearts!

Be Ye Holy As Your Father Is Holy!

Blood As Seed Works
While God's Mercy Is Still Working!
It Won't Work
When Man's Probation Is Finished!

This, Somehow 

- To Me -
Smacks Of A Certain Level Of Presumption ...!

... Just Like Death Bed Confessions
And
Death Bed Repentances!

Too, True!

Man Looks At The Outward Appearance!

Almighty God Looks At The Man's Heart!

Think About This:

You Stab A Man In His Heart ... Deliberately
AND THENPlead With Him Not To Die
... As You Try To Save Him From Dying!

That's Presumptuous!

We Need To Confess Our Known Sin
And Repent To God Every Day

In Jesus Christ's Name
For
No Man Knows The Day
Nor The Hour
WHEN
The Son Of Man Cometh

Is All That I'm Going To Say!

Be Careful
Ye That Think Ye Stand
Lest Ye Fall!

No Man Should Take A Stance Like That Pastor!

We Daily Sin

By Thought Word And Deed

AND

We Need To Remember The Word:

Every Man Has The Same Opportunity

AND

We Should Remember That

The Soul That Sins

It Shall Die

AND

Unconfessed Sin Is Sin ... Unforgiven!

Any Final Thoughts ...

By Thy Word, Thou Art Justified!
By Thy Word, Thou Art Condemned!

I Sincerely Believe That That Pastor's Idea
Is Heaven-Daring Arrogance!

Nowhere In Scripture
Will You Find A Saint Of God
Presuming Upon God's Mercy
In Such An Unseemly Manner!

We Are To Give Up Fleeting Things For Christ

And For The Sake Of The Gospel!

We Do Not ... In My Personal Opinion
Have The Right
Nor The Power
To Decide That Our Life Is God's Seed

And Be Hopeful Of Something
That In All Likelihood
May Never Happen!

No Criminal Ever Said
Or Will Ever Say: 

I Shall Go And Kill Me A Good Christian Man

A Man Sure Of His Soul's Salvation

A Heaven-Bound Saint

And God ... 

The Living Eternal God Of All Grace

Who Pays All

BUT

Is Paid By The Wilful Desire Of The Christian

To Be A Human Christ

AND

Who Knows The Thoughts

AND

Intents Of The Desperately Wicked Human Heart

Is Going To

- In Servile Cooperation 

For This "Once Saved Always Saved" Man's Willing Sacrifice - 

Convert Me

And Save My Soul

From The Second Death

Even Though I Am Wilfully Sinning

AND

Have Repeatedly, Flagrantly, Scorned His Free Grace

AND

Have Purposefully Chosen

The Way Wherein Lies

Death!

You Ain't Lie!

Wouldn't It Be Easier
For The Christian
In Faith
For Faith
To Pray:

God Have Mercy!

Save Me!

And Then Say
To That Wilful Sinner:

In The Name Of Jesus Christ The Righteous 

Stop!?

The Apostle Paul Consented To Murder
AND
By His Zealous Wrong-Headed Efforts
Caused Many Christians To Perish!

 
Jesus Christ, Himself
Met The Then-Called Saul
- On His Way To Harm More Christians -
AND
Asked Him Why He Was Persecuting
Not The Christians
But Christ, Indeed
AND
Blinded Him
AND
Cast Down His Vain Imaginings
AND
Caused Him To Walk In Physical Blindness
For Three Days
- The Same Time That Christ Had Lain In A Sinner's Grave -
To Ultimately Give Him Spiritual Eyesight!

He Repented

AND
Was Converted
AND

Physical Scales
- At The Appointed Time -
Fell From His Eyes

AND
He Became 

The Ultimate Warrior For Christ!

Paul Was Humbled
AND

He Humbled Himself!

Not Once Did He Say:

I Shall Let Them
- The Adversaries -
Kill Me
So That They
- By My Personal Sacrifice -
WILL
Be Saved!

Paul Did All To Preserve His Life! 

Paul Did Not Indulge
In Heaven-Daring Arrogance
Because He Had
"An In ... An Inside Track To God!"

That Faithful Apostle

At His Life's End

Said:

Paul Trusted The Lord
AND
The Word Of The Lord
AND
He Chose To LIVE
For His Jesus
AND ... WORK ARDENTLYFor The Salvation Of Dying-In-Sin
Dying-Through-Sin
Men's Souls!

The Point Here Is ...

As Jesus Christ Asked The Murmuring Pharisees:

Which Is Easier?

To Say

Son, Thy Sins Be Forgiven Thee! 

OR

Take Up Thy Bed And Walk!?!

Which In This Case, Is

Dare To Die For The Sinner 

Who Will Perhaps Not Be Saved
AND
You, Yourself, Are Probably Also Lost
Because We Sin Daily By Thought Word Deed
OR
Dial-Up Yourself Your Saving Jesus
By Fervent Prayer
AND
Request The Angel Guard
While Also Requesting
That The Holy Spirit
Meet The Evil-Doer
Face To Face!

Brethren,

If You Say
You Trust Believe Worship Praise
Obey Honor

AND
Glorify Almighty God
In Your Person
Do It All Day
Every Day
In Every Way
In Every Situation!

There Ain't No Back-Door To Heaven!
There Ain't No Special Pass-By-Here For Saints!

The Door To Heaven Is Jesus Christ The Lord!

AND
The Key To The Door Is Living Faith! 

The Way IS Straight And Narrow
For We Must Live By Christ
- The Way The Truth And The Life -
AND
We Are Not To Do Anything
That Will Cause Us To Lose Our Crown
AND
That Free ... To All REPENTANT SINNERS
Eternal Life!

Brethren,

I Caution You

AND
Myself
I Am Certainly Including:

Check Yourself
Before You Wreck Yourself!

Let Us Ever Seek Out The Will Of Almighty God
For Our Lives!! 

Be Faithful ... Unto Death!
Don't Call Death Unto You!

What Is Our Watch-Word?!

Jesus Saves ... To The Uttermost!

Please Do All

To Grow In Daily Grace

Through Your Working Faith
For, Soon

- Very Soon -
We Shall See Jesus Christ
Face To Face!

ETERNAL SECURITY : Once Saved Always Saved! Says Who?!?

Eternal Security
Is A Satanic Lie
Used By The Devil
To Cause Bold Men
God
To Defy!

Eternal Security
Is Also Attached To
"There Is No Victory Over Sin!"
For Not Sinning
- According To Satan-Inspirited Men -
Is Not A Part Of
True Authentic Living!

The Word Of The Holy God Says:

"The Soul That Sins - It Shall Die!"

BUT
The Soul That With God's Requirements
For Salvation
Does Truly Comply
Shall
In The Great Day
To Heaven Fly!

Confession AND Repentance
Shall The Sentence For Sin
Nullify
BUT
There Is No 
"Once Saved, Always Saved!"
AND
This Can Be Easily Verified!

If There Was OSAS ...

There Would Be No Need
For
Grace For Today's Needs
Nor
Faith For Today
As You Along Life's Pathways 
Deliberately Speed!

There Would Be No Need
To Pray Without Ceasing!
No Need For
From Sin, You Must Be Ceasing!
AND
No More Need For 
Trust AND Obey
For Heaven
- Already Assured -
Requires No More
Of Your Puny Striving!

Let No Man Steal Your Crown
Would Be A Waste!
Oh, Taste And See That God Is Good
Would Be Out Of Place!
AND
Do Good AND Good Will Attend Thee
Would Be Unnecessary
For
Eternal Security
As A Luxury Blanket
Cocoons Thee!

Walk By Faith
- Assuredly -
Is Become A Lie!
Let The Holy Spirit Lead
Would Be Passe! - A Wind Dry!
Letting Holy Angels
Influence Us To Do Good
Would Be De Trop
For
Doing Good
AND
Doing Evil
Would Become One And The Same
AND
Christian Living
Would Be A Sure Flop!

Lying Is To Sinning

What Sinning Is To Dying!

*********

Don't Buy A Lie!

Buy The Truth

And

Sell It Not!

Trust The Love Of God

And

Live In Jesus Christ

For

He Is The Only Security

That We Have Got!!!

*********

Die To Sin!

Live In Christ!

Walk With The Lord!
And

Fly With The Angels
For
That Is
Jesus' Blood-Bought Promise!

Unfurl The Flag!!

*********

God Can Cry!
But
God Cannot Die!
And
God Cannot Lie!

So ...

Eternal Security
Living In Sin
Is
Satan's Great Lie
To Get Man
The Fire And Brimstone Lake
To Be Cast In!

Deny The Gross Liar!

True Security
True Eternal Security
Comes From
Forsaking Doing Sin
And
Walking
In Willful Obedience
To God's Holy Word!

THE RELIGION OF THE STATE: Commit Your Soul Unto God

There is A Day Soon Coming
When There Will Be The Religion of The State
When Acceptance or Denial of Such
Will Determine Our Eternal Fate!

The State Religion Will Be Such
That Other Gods Will Have Preeminence
AND
The Living Holy God
Will Be The Legislated Irrelevance!

Our Conscience Will Be Put Up For Sale
For Barter
Even Exchange
For We Will Be Required To Make The Choice
That Will Make Godly Living
To The Satan In-dwelt Man-God
A Truly Vile Act
HIDEOUSLY PROFANE!

It Is In That Day That Believers
In The True And Living Holy God
Must Stand Up And Be Counted
OR
Be Counted As One With King Fraud!

Just Remember That The God Of Heaven
Has Made Provision For His Children
So While Salvation Is Available 
TODAY
Accept It 
NOW
So That You Will Not Hear:

"He That Is Unjust
Let Him Be Unjust Still
AND
He That Is Filthy
Let Him Be Filthy Still!"
(Revelation 22:11 In Pertinent Part)

REMEMBER THE TRAINER'S JOKE:

The Chicken Participated

BUT

The Pig Committed!

With The True And Living Holy God
Total Trust and Complete Commitment IS Key!

A Little Bit Committed To God Is Like Being A Little Bit Dead!

It Is An Impossibility!

Judgment Will Begin At The House Of God

So ...

Be Sure 
TODAY
To Confess Your Sins 
AND
Repent!

Repent Of Your Evil Ways
AND
Your Wayward Acts
AND
Permit God To Remake You
And Give You The King's Righteous Garments
And Proceed To Walk
And Continue Walking ...
Faithfully!

AND ... 

Please, Please, PLEASE
 Do Not Permit Yourself 
To Fall Into Satan's Trap Of
"Once Saved Always Saved! "

God's Word Specifically Says:

The Definition Of Endurance Involves:

Effort,  Pain,  Suffering
Faith, Faithfulness
Belief, Focus
Trust In The Training Received From The Trainer,  and 
Doing and Completing The Job 
Despite The Challenges
Real or Imagined!

Trust God's Word!
Live For Jesus Christ!
Be Comforted In His Care!
Let The Holy Spirit Lead!
Receive The Protection Of The Holy Angels!
Be Faithful Unto Mortal Death!
AND
When Jesus Christ The King Shall From His Glorious Home Descend
Be Raised 
Immortal 
Unto Eternal Glory!

Choose The God Of This World

AND

Lose Eternity

OR

Choose The Eternal God 

AND 

Save Your Own Soul

AND

Gain Eternity!
