VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Imagine This ... If You Dare!













 
I Double-Dog Dare You Miserable Wretches ...! 

... Wait, Who She Calling Miserable Wretches!?! 

Cloris Is Calling Us, Her Dear Friends, By That Appellation, Norbert! 

I Ain't Neither Miserable Nor A Wretch, Nancy! 

You're Wrong Twice, Norbie! 

Explain Yourself, Nancy! 

I Surely Will, My Friend! We Belong To The Laodicean Church So We Are Miserable: Our Jesus Said So In Revelation Chapter Three! 

The Apostle Paul Said In Romans 7:24: “O Wretched Man that I Am! Who Shall Deliver Me From The Body Of This Death?” 

You See, The Romans Had A Thoroughly Nasty Penchant For Attaching A Dead Body To Someone Who They In Turn Wanted To Dispatch With Prejudice, So He Was Painting A Picture For His Audience Which They Would Understand While Showing That We Were In Dying Bodies Ourselves Because Of Our Sinful Condition By Nature, And Nurture Aka Our Training And Practice! 

I Am Sure That That Ghastly Practice Was Inspired By Demons, Norbie! 

And I Agree With You, Nancy! But Why Was Cloris Speaking Like That!?! 

She Is Angry, And So Should We Be, Because The Lord Is Good To And For Us, And Instead Of Us Being Grateful And Thankful, We Crucify Him Afresh, Sabotage His Work, And Bring Him To An Open Shame! 

Do You Know What The Lord Does Instead Of Destroying Us Or Helping Us To Destroy Ourselves For Our Base Ingratitude!?! 

Tell Me, Norbie! Tell Me What I Should Already Know! 

Willie-Sue, Our Lord Jesus Made, Makes A Way, Shows, Offers, Invites Us To Apply To Be A Part Of His Team - No Tricks, No Traps - By His Holy Spirit Who Will Surely Lead Us Into All Truth! 

So What Is The Problem With That, Norbie!?! 

The Problem, Clammy-Cherry, Is That We Are So Caught Up In Appearances, And Titles, And Compensation Potential That We Reject What Lasts Forever For That Which Can't Last No Matter How It Is Framed And Funneled! 

Do You Remember That Expression Which Says: "Beauty Fades But Ugly Lasts Forever!?!" 

Of Course, Nancy! 

You Do Know That It's A Lie When Spiritually Applied! 

How So!?! 

The Ugliness Of Sin Cannot Last Forever Because Sin Will Not Arise A Second Time In The Earth Made New! 

Secondly, The Beautiful Gospel Of Truth Which Speaks Of The Beautiful Savior Lasts Forever Because Our Jesus, Our Savior, Died Once For All Mankind, His Body Never Saw Corruption, And He Now Lives Forever! 

His Beauty Will Grow More Beautiful To Us During The Ceaseless Years Of Eternity Because We Who Believe To The End, And Are Rewarded With Everlasting Life At The Last Trumpet, Will Look Upon Him Through Truly Seeing Eyes Of Cumulative Holy Love! 

I Like That Word-Picture, Norbie! 

Cloris, I Agree With You And Have One Thing To Add For All Of Us! 

Let Us Not Permit Pride To Cause Us To Try To Purchase Pre-Paid Free-To-Anyone Tickets On The Day After The Request-Accept-By Date! 

There Shall Be Wailing And Gnashing Of Teeth ... With Fierce Regret! 

Oh, That Land Of Regret Where Everyone Stands Alone! 

Cloris, It's Time To Talk To Jesus:  I Am A Miserable Wretch And Only The Lord Jesus Can Fix Me! 

I'm With You, Willie-Sue! 

Regret And Salvation Are One-On-One Encounters So Let Us Permit Our Now-Present, Positively Actionable Regret Over Our Known Sin Pilot Us To Salvation-From-Sin Purchased For Us By Our Dear Savior's Sacrifice!

AMEN!!! 

I Love It, Love It, Love It: Let Regret Serve The Higher Purpose ... When It Matters! 

Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: ENCOUNTERING CHRIST: Be Salt!







The Old Saw Says: 

"Whatever Is In The Olde Goat
Is In The Kiddie!"
 
We Act According To Our Nature 
And 
We Live What We Learn

And Then 

As Consenting Adults 
- Wisely Or Unwisely -
We Eagerly Practice Patiently 
What We Willingly Choose To Pursue! 

Beloved, 

We May Have Been Born With Sinful
Variable, Changeable, Natures 
But
When We Encounter The Lord Christ 
And 
Place Our Hands In His Holy Hands
And
Choose To  Follow Him 
Through The Diligent Exercise Of 
Enduring, Working, Faith 
And 
Unceasing Prayer 
With The Holy Spirit Doing The Effectual Good Work In Us
We Get Rid Of The Old Sinner Man
And
Become A Blessed Saint Of God And Christ 
As, With Enduring Patience, We Await The Day 
When Our Change Comes 
And 
We Become Like Him Who Created Us! 

We Are What We Eat 
And 
We Get Fleas From Where We Sleep!

We Have Free Will And Free Choice
And
No Created Being Can Make You Serve God
And
No Created Being Can Make You Serve The Devil! 

The Lord Of Life Won't Make You Serve Him
And
The Damned Devil Can't Make You Serve Him! 

Let Us Choose Our Walking Path Wisely And Righteously! 
Let Us Endeavor From This Day Forward
To Make The Exercise Of Faith 
And
The Practice Of Constant Praying 
Our Steady, Unchangeable, Diet!
 
With The Great God's Grace Covering Us
Let Us Freely Choose To Pray More 
And
Let Us ... With Confidence
Dare To Request An Increase In Our Daily Gift Of Faith
Which Shall Surely Be Tried: 
What Jesus Gives That We Utilize Can Never Fail Or Fail Us! 

Beloved, 

Let The World Know Whose Child You Are
And
Show Them The Light That Is Guiding Us
To The Glorious City Of The Forever Blessed! 
Be Salt! 

Jesus Christ's Peace
Is
Pure!
