Contented ... in Christ Jesus!

Are You Contented Aka Pleased 

With What You Already Have!?! 

Are You Contented With 

And 

In The Lord Christ!?! 

It Is One Thing To Be Contented

And

Quite Another To Think That 

You Did "It" All By Yourself

And

Vainly Glory In Your Accomplishments!

Beloved, 

No Committed Christian 

Should So Depart From The Righteous Way 

And

Become So Proud Of Themselves 

To Dare Take The Glory Of The Lord Unto Themselves 

So That The Lord Must Humble Them 

And

Cause Them To Be Contented To Eat Grass For A Season 

In Order For Them To See The Light Of Saving Truth! 

Arrogant, Proud 

And

Pompously Foolish King Nebuchadnezzar Of Babylon 

Learned This Lesson The Hard Way! 

There Is Contentment 

And

There Is Contentment In Christ! 

There Is Having Satisfaction With Myself 

And

There Is Satisfaction In Ridding Me Of Self! 

Little With Contentment 

Is 

Of Great Gain When We Acknowledge That 

It Is The Living God Who Ever So Graciously Provides 

Every Last Thing That We Call Our Own! 

Like Everything Else In The Christian

We Have The Authority

The Freewill

The Freedom 

To Daily Decide ... By Almighty God's Great Grace

To Be Contented With What The Lord  ... In Love 

Has Graciously Provided

Be It Little Or Much! 

There Is No Profit In Baseless Pride!

Let Us From This Moment On Say 

"Thank You, Lord!" 

And

Glory In The Lord Of Life

Even As We Determine To Be Contented

With What The Lord Daily Provides For Us 

Since Our Provider 

Is 

Our Maker ... The Creator! 

Our Provider Is Also Our Hope, Help, And Salvation

Redeemer

Judge, Lord, God

And 

Forever Faithful Friend ... The Kind King: 

Rest Where The Lord Our Shepherd Gently Leads! 

To Be Contented In Christ

Is

To Have Perfect Peace!

HAPPY SABBATH + IDOLATERS: Know God!

Do You Know That
There Is No Idolater
Who Does Not Know Who Jesus Christ Is?!

No! I Don't Know That
And Neither Do You!!

Oh, Really?!

Really!

If YOU Say So!

My King James Says Differently!

You And Your King James!

Seriously!

Show Me!

The Book Of Daniel:

Nebuchadnezzar
Was Biggest Idolater
On The Planet
In His Time
BUT
With Shadrach Meshach Abednego
In The Fiery Furnace
Nebuchadnezzar Knew
That In That Fire
And I Quote:

"...And The Fourth Man
Is Like The Son Of God!"

Nebuchadnezzar Worshipped The Works Of Man's Hands
So He Should Not Have Been Able
To Discern
Identify Recognize
State
Who Jesus Christ Is!

2:

To The Hebrew Worthies:

"Your God Is A God Of Gods
And A Lord Of Kings ...!"

AND

If You Add Matthew:

My Sheep Know My Voice!

AND

Revelation
To The Mix:

Come Out Of Her My People ...!

AND

Don't Forget The Biggie:

I Will Write My Law

On The Table Of Their Heart!

We Have Clear Proof
That All Mankind
Knows
Who Is Their God
Their Creator
AND
Redeemer!

I'll Tell You This ...

An Idolater
Is A Presumptuous Man
Who Lives In The Land Called
Willful Blindness
Content
To Worship However
Whoever
Wherever
His Lying Heart Plans
AND
Through Iniquity
Aka Planned Sin
He Offers The Living God
Scant Or
No Service!

He's A Big Man! 

In The Great Day Of Vengeance
No Man To Jesus Christ Can Say:

Fancy Meeting You Here!
Of Your Truth, I Had No Share!

BUT ...

He
In Self-Condemnation Of His Own Soul
Shall
- In Worshipful Remorse -
Say:

I Foolishly Chose Not To Believe In You!
I Wittingly Chose To Be By Self Deceived!

Truth Be Told ...

Every Man Woman
Girl Boy Child
Shall
Before The End Of Time
Know
The Name
AND
The Character Of
The God-Man Christ
AND
The God-Man's Mission
AND
Each
- No Force
No Accidental Falling Into Fiction -
Will Acknowledge
That They Ate Self-Delusion's Feast
Filled With
Satan's Lying Yeast
Because
The Way Taken
Required Not
Focused Firm Self-Denial
BUT
Did Self-Satisfaction
Self-Aggrandizement
AND
Self-Actualization
Preach!

Men Who Worship Idols
On Sin's Titties Do Leech
BECAUSE
To Do Wrong Requires No Effort
BUT
To Do Right
Requires A Changed Attitude
- Wrought By Reliance Upon Almighty God's Holy Spirit -
A Total Denial Of Self
AND
Full Adherence
To All
Everything
Every Last Iota
That The Good Shepherd Does Teach!

Doing Right Is Hard Work!

Sooo!?!
Just Do It
By God's Great Grace
Until
- With Practice Aka Constant Repetition -
It Becomes A Part Of You!

All I Know, Man
Is That I'm Going To Need
The Helpful Hand!

No Problem!
Jesus Christ Is Always Available
To Those Who Choose To Believe!

Don't Forget
Jesus Christ Is The Son Of God
AND
The Son Of Man
So
You Can Dare To Lean On Him!
He's The Strong Tower!
Depart From Sin
AND
To His Holy Hand
Dare To Cleave!
You Do Not Need Another Creature's
By Your Leave!

THE U.S. NATIONAL ANTHEM: Nebuchadnezzar's Statue Sorta Kinda Like!

The Present Kurfuffle Going On
Over The Courtesies Paid
At The Singing Of The United States National Anthem
Is
- To Me -
A Cautionary Tale
That All Christians
- Truly All Peoples -
Would Do Well To Watch 
AND
Think About
With Total Care!

Know The Difference Between

Respect

And

Worship!

This Protest 
- Again ... To Me -
Is One Of Those Things
Whereby Those Who Would Be God
Will See How Far They Can Go
Before The Bough Breaks
AND
Just As Nebuchadnezzar Appointed
The Prized Elevated Golden Object Of Worship
We Should See The Modern Parallels Presented Here
AND
Take Special Note!

Each Side Has Points In Their Favor!
Each Side Has Points That Detract!
BUT
Those Of Us Who See With Eyes
On The Living Word
AND
The Prophetic Clock
Will Nod Our Heads
AND
Say:

These Things Cannot Help But Be So!

Nebuchadnezzar
King Of Babylon
Ordered His People
To Worship The Glittering Golden Image
At The Sound Of The Myriad Instruments' Music
Under Penalty!
(Listen To The U.S. National Anthem 
And Be Thrilled By The Extraordinary Emotion It Evokes!
Music Is Not Neutral And There Is Ever A Reason For Its Use!)

Those Among The Babylonians
Still Faithful To The Living God
Refused
AND
They Were Reported To The Authorities
Not Only For Not Bowing Down To The New Idol
BUT
Also For Not Worshiping Nebuchadnezzar's Many gods
AND
In His Blind Fury
Nebuchadnezzar Raged
At The Four Hebrew Worthies:

I Urge The People Of God
To Take Note Of This
AND
Lean On The Promises Of God!

What Is Happening
Is Not A Coincidence!
Nothing That Happens In This Vale Of Tears
Is Coincidental!
It All Has A Purpose
- Usually For Man's Ill At Satan's Hand -
BUT ALMIGHTY GOD
Will Ultimately Use Even This
For His Own Glory!

Let Us Choose Our Battles Carefully
For
There Are No Fools In God's Eternal Kingdom!

The Final Movements On The Prophetic Clock
Are Stated To Be Rapid Ones
So
Let Us Watch Unto Prayer
AND
Be Faithful Unto Death!

Nothing

- On Its Face -

Is What It Appears To Be!

It Should Be Noted ...

All Bets Are Off
Come October 31, 2017
When The Final Nail
In The Coffin Of Protestantism
Is Hammered In With Finality
As The Final Documents Are Signed For Its Abolition
Saying Boldly
That The Protest Against Abominable Worship Practices
Which Should Have Lasted Until Jesus Christ Comes
Is No More
AND
In Effect 
That All Religions Are One
AND
All gods Are One And The Same
Equal To The Creator-God
AND
The One Eternal Holy Almighty Creator-God
Is Nothing
Nada
Zilch
Bupkis
Caput
Finished!

Brethren,
Stay Instant And Constant In Pray!
Stay Faithful To The Living God Until Death!
Stay Hopeful Of The Blessed Assurance!
Stay Trusting In The Promises Of God!
Stay Believing That Our God Is Who He Says He Is!
Stay Obedient To God's Will!
Stay In Your King James Bible The Preserved Word Of God
AND
Lean, Lean, Lean
On The Holy Jesus!

The Warfare
The Little Time Of Jacob's Trouble
Is Close At Hand!
AND
So Is Jesus Christ's Return!

Anything

Worshiped Like Unto God

Is God!

- Enter The Dragon!
