Contented With Or Contemptuous Of ... The Lord Of Life!?!

Have You Ever, By Will Or By Accident

"Mistaken" The Words Content And Contempt!?! 

Have You Ever Neglected To Be Contented 

With What The Good Lord In Mercy Has Provided For You

Even If It Is Biscuits Aka Crackers 

And Not Your Favored Raisin Bread With Pretend-Chicken Salad 

And By So Doing

Shown Contempt For Almighty God!?! 

Beloved, 

The Air Of Discontent Is Perfuming The Atmosphere 

And 

Infecting People 

With The Attitude Even Unto The Character Of Contempt 

Which Causes Many To "Show" Themselves As "God" 

And Thus 

Captain Of Their Own Ship 

And 

Master Of The Winds Of Strife 

And 

The Unstable Waves Of Life 

Driven And Tossed By Said Winds Which Have No Destination 

Predetermined By Finite, Frail, And Fragile Man! 

Dear Ones, 

Let Us This Day Disabuse Ourselves Of 

The Fallacious Aka False "Knowledge" That 

We May Hold The Eternal God In Contempt

As A Being Of No Value

And 

Despised

And 

Escape Unscathed! 

Jesus Christ Is Almighty God In Flesh 

And 

We Are Because He Is 

And

We Are Fed Because He, In Love, Provides! 

May We Consider 

And

Find Satisfaction, Rest, And Refreshing In Knowing That 

All That We Have ... And Are

Our Blessed Jesus Provides! 

Please Hold Sin ... And Self ... In Contempt 

And 

Not Our Dear Savior Jesus

By Whom We Live And Breathe And Prosper

And

For Whom We Should Live To Honor, Worship, And Serve! 

Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH : There Is An Elevator In Endurance!

There Is No Point To Pride

No Satisfaction In Sin

And 

Nothing Graceful About Greed! 

There Is A Mattress In Mercy

And 

A Pillow In Peace! 

There Is An Object In Obedience

And 

An Elevator in Endurance! 

There Is A Push In Perseverance

Amazing Love In Following The Lord

And 

Worth In Walking Wisely! 

There Is Power That Comes 

From Praising Him Who Calls Us To His Side

And 

We Are Blessed Beyond All Measuring 

When We Walk In The Way That 

Leads To His Eternal Life! 

There Is A Train In Truth 

So Get On Board To Avoid Damnation's Gloriless Horde! 

Dear Ones, 

The Lord Jesus Saves Us One By One 

So Do Not Follow The Loud-Mouthed 

So-Called Powerful 

Known Wayward, Winsome, Wicked, And Wild 

Just Because You Want Things! 

The Loud-Mouthed Will Have Nothing To Say

And 

The Powerful Will Be Powerless 

In The Wondrous Presence Of Our Glorious King

Jesus Christ The Lord! 

Choose Wisely: 

Early, And In Earnest, Seek The Savior! 

Peace! 

HAPPY SABBATH + GRATITUDE: Let Your Tongue Be A Ready Writer!

 

How Often Have We ... In The Euphoria Of Blessings Received

Chosen To Do A Show And Tell Of The Things We Have Gotten 

And 

Have Totally Forgotten

Ignored, Disregarded, Or Dismissed 

The Grace, Mercy, Love

And 

Kindness Of The Giver Of All Our Good Gifts!?! 

Where Is Our Gratitude!?! 

Do We Not Realize That If Our God Took Offense 

At Our Graceless Oversights, And Downright Devilish 

"I Deserve This!" Attitude, That 

He Could Take Away Our Pride And Joy 

And 

Leave Us Useless, Homeless, Penniless

And 

Powerless For Our Boldly Base Behavior!?! 

One Leper Out Of Ten 

Knew And Truly Understood Where His Blessing Came From 

And 

Turned Back To The Master To Give Him

To Give Almighty God

Real Praise! 

Good King Hezekiah

After He Was Raised Up From His For-Sure Death-Bed

Instead Of Telling The Babylonian Strangers 

Inquiring About His Blessings That 

It Was The True And Living Holy God 

Who Blessed And Kept Him And His Nation

He Showed Them His Things! 

After They Left To Return To Their Nation

The Sentence Came From God

- Through The Prophet Isaiah - 

That All That The Babylonians Had Seen 

Would Follow Them To Their Homeland! 

Dear Ones, 

Be Wise! 

The Lord Of Life Giveth 

And 

The Lord Calling Us Home To Himself Taketh Away 

So Let A Thankful Heart Keep Your Bountiful Blessings On You 

And 

In Your Home! 

Give Almighty God His Owed ... And Deserved ...  Praise: 

Let Your Tongue Be A Ready Writer! 

Peace!

EMERGENCY SIREN: Nobody Wakes Up Dead!

 

For Every Siren That We Hear

There Is A Living Soul In Mortal Distress: 

Neither The Coroner Nor The Mortuary Van

Has Need Of Urgent Progress! 

Beloved, 

None Of Us Knows The Day Or The Hour 

When We Shall Close Our Eyes For The Long Sleep 

From Which No Man's Fabricated Alarm May Awaken Us 

And

For This Reason 

I Bid Us All To Keep Current Accounts With Our Lord Jesus! 

At The Siren's Sound

Please Raise Up Your Heart To The Holy God 

And 

Pray For Our Brethren That 

Our Blessed Lord Will Have Mercy 

And 

Grant Them Strength, Courage, And The Opportunity 

To Confess And Repent Of Known Sin 

And Take Jesus Christ As Their Everlasting Portion 

So That They May Be Blessed 

And 

Saved Into The Living Kingdom

According To Their Will! 

Dear Ones, 

We Who Know And Love The Lord

Please Do Not Relax And Act Carelessly About Your Salvation! 

We Sin By Thought, Word And Deed ... Daily

So Let Us, As We Realize Our Errors

And 

As A Matter Of Habit

Confess And Repent Of All Known Sin ... Every Day! 

Nobody Wakes Up Dead 

But

Everybody Awakens To Face The King Of Glory

The Judge Of All Flesh Who Will Have His Rewards With Him! 

I Sincerely Pray For Us All That 

When The Time Comes

That We All Will Arise From Our Long Home 

To See Our Jesus In All His Glory

In Perfect Peace! 

Dear Lord Jesus, 

We Adore You! 

Please Bless Us

As We Confidently

Raise Our Hearts To You

In Heartfelt Prayer! 

AMEN!

HAPPY SABBATH + The For-Real Bargain!

Freedom In Christ! 

Freedom Through Christ! 

Free Is Our Friend 

If 

Jesus Christ Is In It! 

The Merchants Of The Earth 

Get Us To Buy Their Merchandise With 

"Buy One, Get One!" 

Or "Buy Two Get One!" Sales Pitches 

Knowing Full Well That 

We Are Going To Spend More 

And

On Other Things As Well! 

They Make A Killing 

And 

We Get A Bargain, We Believe! 

Listen Up, Dear Ones! 

There's A For-Real Bargain Up For Grabs 

For All Who Are Willing To See The Light 

And 

Save Themselves From Sin And Sorrow 

And

No Personal Investment Of Dollar Bills 

Or Fuel 

Or Frazzled Nerves 

Or Angry Outbursts Are Required! 

There Is No Limited Stock! 

There Is No Early Bird Special! 

There Is No Rain-Check 

And

There Is No Disappointment! 

Imagine That ...

Jesus Christ's Free-To-All Salvation

With Sufficient Grace

Free Mercy

Free Education In The School Of Jesus

I'll Worship You And Obey!" 

This, Dear Ones

Is 

The True Blessing Of This Lifetime! 

Accept It And Be Eternally Blessed! 

Peace! 

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Satanic Manipulation

 

For The Record, We Know Of A Surety That 

Anyone Who Seeks To Force Our Will 

By Manipulation, Intimidation, And Domination 

Is 

Working For No Less A Personage Than Satan The Damned! 

Also, By Curiosity

By Seeking New, Novel, And Mindblowing

Or For Fear Of Someone Powerful, Rich, Or Volatile

We Place Ourselves Or Are Placed Under The Control Of 

Fallen Angels, Wicked Spirits, Demons! 

The Early Church Was Not Exempt From This 

And 

Neither Are We! 

We Are Cautioned To Test The Spirits 

To See Whether They Are Of God! 

The Holy Spirit 

Will Never Contradict The Preserved Word Of God 

And

Will Never Manipulate, Intimidate, Or Dominate Us: 

That's The Devil's Domain 

And

Comes From A Place Of Hatred 

Because 

Love Doesn't Operate Like That! 

Dear Ones, 

Those Persons Seeking To Control Us 

Are Also Being Controlled

And 

Will Speak Of Love, Caring

And 

Our Profit As Their One Motivation: 

They Lie Like Cheap Rugs! 

Jesus Christ Our King Loves Us 

And

Humbly, Openly, Came Himself To Save Us: 

It Cost Him Not Us! 

Satan Always Uses A Middle Man 

Until He Doesn't! 

Directness By Truth

Reasoning By Grace

And

Persuasion By Mercy 

All Wrapped Up In Heavenly Love 

Are The Ways Of Almighty God! 

Know The Truth 

And 

Walk In The Light That Gives Life 

To Escape The Polished Deceits Of The Devil! 

Be Safe And Saved ... In The Arms Of Jesus! 

Peace! 

HAPPY SABBATH + On The Horns Of A Dilemma!

The Chant Is Often Heard: 

"No Justice: No Peace!" 

And 

People Are Suitably Impressed Or Terrified About What Is Next! 

There Is No Justice Without Truth! 

Jesus Christ Is The Truth 

And 

He Is Also The Prince Of Peace Who Is Our Peace! 

Without Jesus

We Will Never Know Almighty God's Grace 

Aka Favor Aka Power 

Or Experience His Mercy 

Because 

We Would Be Subject To God's Strict Justice 

Which Will Be Ministered Then 

Without His Now Presently Available Free-To-All Mercy! 

This, Dear Ones

Is 

What One Would Call Being On The Horns Of A Dilemma! 

Sin-Loving Man Wants 

What Only Almighty God Through Jesus Christ Our Lord Can Give 

Without Jesus Christ Being Involved! 

That's A Big-Able Problem! 

Not To Put Too Fine An Edge On The Razor

We Always Want People's Things Without Asking 

Or Paying For The Privilege Of Ownership! 

Man-Peace Is No Peace 

And 

Man's Idea Of Justice 

Is 

Most Often Perverted To Benefit The Highest Bidder! 

This Is Not So With The Eternal God

The Judge Of All Flesh! 

Beloved, 

Let Us This Day Walk Humbly Before Our God

Honoring And Pleasing Him In His Holiness

So That In Our Hour Of Trial 

It Is Jesus Christ, Himself

Who Will Plead His Shed Blood For Us

At His Judgment Bar! 

Perfect Peace Is Precious 

And 

Part Of The Salvation Plan! 

Peace Be Upon You! 

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Prayer Of Faith

 

PRAYER:

Thank You, Lord

For Your Grace That Is Sufficient

Your Mercy Ever Free

And That

The Fact Remains That

The Prayer Of Faith Will Always Reach Thee! 

Please Help Us To Ever Remember That 

The Devil Is The Liar

And

His Words Are Truth Reversed

And That 

His Mission Is To Have Us Continue To Live

Under The Wretched Conditions That 

Initiated The Curse!

Please Help Us To Be Wise

Unto Our Own Soul's Salvation! 

Please Help Us To Ever Trust You 

And

Walk In The Light Of The Truth! 

Please Help Us To Uplift Your Holy Name 

And

Bless Ourselves By Worshiping You 

Through Faithful, Enduring, Obedience

Which Will See Us Ascending With You One Glad Day

To Enter Your Blessed Rest

In The Land Of No Night

The Land Of Eternal Youth!

Please Open Our Eyes

Unstop Our Ears

And

Help Us To Not Only Hear And Embrace The Truth

But To Act Decisively

On Your Living, Holy, Word Which Works! 

Father,

You Have Promised That 

Your Word Will Not Return Unto You Void, Empty

But Will Accomplish The Mission Of 

Getting Us Who Are Willing

Back Into Your House Of Love 

Which Has Room For All Who Will Look Up

To Jesus Christ, The King 

To Be Saved And To Eternally Live! 

Please Accept Our Heartfelt Confession And Repentance

And

Forgive And Cleanse Us As You Promised

And

Welcome Us Into The Fold Of Safely

For It Is In Jesus Christ's Holy Name That

We Humbly Pray And In Dire Need Plead!

AMEN!

Physical Satisfaction Won't Appease Our Spiritual Desire!

What Is The Point Of Having Everything That 

Your Stony Aka Carnal Heart Desires 

At Your Very Fingers To Use And Abuse

Refuse, Keep, Share, And Discard 

According To Your Will 

And 

Be Totally Empty On The Inside

Having No Hope

No Eternal Future

No God-Designed And God-Given Expected End!?! 

Beloved, 

We Are Almighty God's Property 

By Creation 

And

By Redemption! 

We Do Not Have The Right To Destroy 

What Is Not Our Own! 

Why Would We

Knowing To Whom We Belong

What He Has Called Us To Be

And 

What He Has Done

Is Doing

And 

Will Do For Us

Walk Around Like Empty Shells 

And 

Willingly Choose To Eat The Husks That 

The Swine, The Pigs, The Porkers Gladly Eat 

When We May Comfortably Sit At The Kind King's Table 

And 

Have Him Delightedly Serve Us 

Because 

He Sacrificially Loves Us!?! 

Dear Ones, 

An Upward Look 

Followed By An Inward Cleanse 

Is 

In Order For All Of Us! 

Physical Satisfaction 

Will Never Appease A Spiritual Longing! 

The Lord Said So

So Let Us As His Dearly Beloved, Obedient, Children 

Get To The Springs Of Living Water 

And

Then Feed Substantially On The Bread Of Life! 

Almighty God's Grace Is Sufficient 

And

His Mercy Is Free 

And

Jesus Christ's Salvation 

Is 

Gifted To Me And To Thee! 

Please, I Beseech Us All

Let Earthly Pleasures Vainly Call You! 

Peace!

No One On This Planet Walks Alone!

How Often Have We Heard Friends, Family, Acquaintances

And 

Even Not-Yet-Friends 

Boldly Even Arrogantly And Aggressively Say: 

"I Don't Need Anybody! 

I Can Make It On My Own!?!" 

Were You Impressed By Or Were You Saddened For 

The Proud Sayer And Lonely Bird Caught In A Storm Of Despair 

But 

Unable Or Unwilling To Humble Themselves Before The Lord 

And 

Say With Longing Heart: 

"Oh Lord, Please Help Me Now! 

I'm Not Just Alone But I Am So Very  Lonely

And Deathly Afraid

And So Very Weak! 

Please Pity Me In My Distress And Have Mercy! 

Lord, 

You Said To Come Boldly

With All My Burdens

My Sorrows And My Joys

And Share Them With You 

Because Without You

Joys Turn Into Sorrows

But With You, Burdens Are Lifted

And Earthly Sorrows Turn Into Heavenly Joys! 

Father, 

Please Open My Eyes To See Your Light That 

Leads To Abundantly Living And Eternal Life! 

Please Grant Me A Heart Of Flesh 

So That I Will Walk Obediently 

And In Perfect Peace With You! 

Please Help Me To Be The Friend That 

I Would Want To Have For A Friend

And Help Me To Love My Neighbor As I Love Myself 

According To Your Living Word!" 

Beloved, 

Be Careful! 

No One On This Planet Walks Alone! 

You, Me, We, Either Walk In Accord 

And 

Under The Headship Of Jesus Christ The Lord 

Or

Satan By The Fallen Angels Walks Companionably With You! 

Let's Examine Ourselves Right Now! 

Peace!

Recall To Mind!

Remember, Remember, Don't Ever Your Faith Regret

The Lord  Christ Will Never A Faithful Child Forget! 

He Doesn't Forget The Good! 

He Doesn't Forget The Bad! 

Do Good And Good Will Attend You

And 

Over Your Trials Be Glad!

All Things Work For Our Good! 

Jesus Christ Shed Innocent Blood

When On Calvary's Cross He Unwaveringly Stood

So That Satan By Your Worked Faith

Could Be Valiantly Withstood! 

Okay, Class! 

Let's Recap: 

Jesus Saves! 

Mercy Is Free! 

Grace Is Sufficient! 

Don't Fret About Evil-Doers! 

Faith Cannot Fail! 

Hallelujah Is The Highest Praise! 

Obedience Is The Highest Form Of Worship! 

Blessings Await The Faithful! 

Prayer Raises Us Up To God! 

Salvation Came Down! 

Justification Is Instantaneous! 

Sanctification Lasts A Lifetime! 

Sin Is A Reproach To All People! 

Blessed Are The Pure In Heart!

From The Workers Of Iniquity Choose To Depart! 

Wait, Work, Watch: 

Don't Wonder After The Beast!

We Have An Invitation

To Enjoy Jesus Christ's Welcome Home Feast! 

Perfect Peace Is The Gift Of God! 

God Is Our Refuge And Strength! 

The Heavens Declare God's Glory! 

The Good Book Tells The Good News Gospel Story!

Doubters Deny!

Evil Men And Seducers  Will Not To Glory Fly! 

Don't Tempt God! 

There Is No License For Sin! 

Guard Your Heart! 

No Man Can Tame The Tongue! 

There Is No Reason For, Nor Profit In, Pride! 

Grave-Diggers Serve  Grave-Diggers! 

Satan Can't Force You To Sin! 

The Lord Won't Force You To Not Sin! 

Lust Is A Lie Wrapped In A Sinful Desire That Deals Death! 

Beloved, 

The Word Of God Aka The Love Of God 

Works Wonders For The Wise! 

Be Wise! 

Be Humble! 

Be Bold! 

Be Blessed And Be A Blessing! 

Believe The Truth And Love In Deed And In Truth! 

And

Be Confident In Christ! 

In This Is Peace!

Almighty God's Blessings: "Please, May I Have Some More!?!"

Giving Is Supplying Our Need 

And 

Forgiving Is Taking Us Back Into The Fold Of Safety 

And

Both Contain Grace, Mercy, Compassion, Kindness

And 

Charity Aka Love 

And

Are The Result Of That Great Gift Of God Called Justification 

Aka Being Made Right With Almighty God 

Through Jesus Christ Our Lord! 

Beloved, 

There Is An Old Expression That Says 

"Don't Look A Gift Horse In Its Mouth!" 

And 

That Was Said Because Your Inspection Might Reveal That 

That Gifted Horse Is Old And Not Altogether "Profitable To You" 

In Your Jaundiced And Even Ungrateful Estimation! 

Dear Ones, 

Jesus Christ, The King, Our Creator, The God Of Glory

Always Only Gives Good And Perfect Gifts To Us

His Purchased-From-Sin Possession! 

We Don't Have To Check Where They Come From

How Long They've Been In Use

How Useful They Will Be To Us

Or If They Are Worth Accepting! 

Our God Is Holy And He Gives, Forgives

Saves, Sets Apart

And 

Seals Us, Willing, For Eternity! 

We Are Greatly Loved Of This Almighty God 

So Let Us Say This Day: 

"Thank You, Lord, For Your Blessings On Me! 

Please, May I Have Some More!?!" 

Let Choose To Give Our Glorious, Gracious, God 

The Gift ... Our Humble Gift ... Of Gratitude Today! 

Peace!

Need Is Like A Mosquito!

The Day That We Realize That Jesus Christ 

Is 

The Only One Who Can Or Will Have Mercy On Us 

Is 

The Day That We Truly See Our Need Of Our Savior! 

Think Of It As The Difference Between Knowing About Jesus 

And 

Personally Knowing Jesus

And 

The Difference Between A Passing Acquaintance 

And 

Having An Intimate Relationship With The Forever Friend 

Who Is The Creator-God Who Knows Everything About You 

Physically, Emotionally, Mentally, Spiritually

Down To The Atomic Level! 

Beloved, 

We May Pretend That We Do Not Need Anyone 

And That

We Are Able To Do And Be Everything To Our Own Self 

Until Reality ... Bites! 

Reality Doesn't Care If You Are Rich, Poor, Young, Old

Educated, Illiterate, Free, Enslaved, Sick, Well

Prince, Politician, Or Preacher! 

Reality's Weight, Teeth, Talons, Tentacles, And Heels 

Are Always Set To "Hurt!"

But 

The Head, Heart, Hands, And Heels Of Jesus Christ 

Are Always Set To Help And Heal Humans! 

Satan Uses Reality To Harass Us 

And 

Wreak Havok In Our Lives

But 

Our Savior Uses Reality To Bring Us Home To Eternal Life 

And

He Does It With Love, Compassion, Mercy, And Grace 

Which Include Helping Us To Recognize Our Great Need Of 

His Direction, Protection, Correction

Provision, Peace, And Power! 

Remember This ... 

Need Is Like A Mosquito:

You Never Know What It Can Do Until It Hits You! 

Dear Ones, 

We Will Never Know 

What Jesus Christ Can And Will Do For Us Personally 

Until We Recognize, Accept

And 

Act Upon Our Desperate Need Of Him! 

Please Pray About Your Need Now! 

Peace!
