Before The Merchants Monetized Motherhood!

Before The Merchants Monetized Motherhood 

For One Day Of The Year

The Good Lord In His Wisdom 

Commanded That Mothers Be Honored, Well, Every Day! 

There Is A Blessing That 

Attends Those Who Keep The Commandment 

And

Obviously, To The Disobedient, A Curse

And 

So I Beseech Us, Beloved

Keep Operating To Receive The Good Lord's Blessing 

So That There Will Be No Curse In Your Life's Purse! 

There Are Those Amongst Us 

Who Have Recently Laid Their Dear Mothers To Rest 

And 

I Beseech Us Who Still Have Our Mothers Here 

To Hug Them Closer

And 

Whisper Honest Words Of Love In Their Ears! 

Flowers, Chocolates, And Perfumes Last A Little While 

And 

Are For Public Consumption 

But 

Kind Words, Thoughtful Deeds

And 

Loving Care Make Marks That Last The Moment

The Minute, The Hour, Day, Week, Month, And Year

And 

Are Logged In The Books Of Heaven 

Which No Careless Finger May Erase! 

Mothers

Mothers In Israel

Adoptive Mothers

And 

Mothers Just Because

The Lord Jesus Cemented Your High Status

When In His Dying Agonies

He Gave The Care Of His Beloved Mother, Mary

To His Beloved Disciple John! 

Mothers, 

Let's Continue Our Loving Service For The Lord! 

Children, 

Let's Love On Our Mothers Every Moment Of Every Day! 

There Is Nothing Higher Than 

The Eternal God's Holy Law! 

Peace!

"I Am Following My Heart!?!"

Why Would We ... As A Committed-To-Christ Christians

Ever Utter The Words: 

"I Am Following My Heart!"  

When The Lord Of Life Calls Man's Heart Deceitful 

And, In Truth, Impossible To Know By Man!?! 

Beloved, 

We Really Need To Stop Following Popular Culture 

And 

The Self-Help No Help At All Gurus 

Who ... With Gay Abandon

Encourage People To Doubt The Word Of Almighty God 

To Gleefully Foray Into Fashionable Foolishness! 

There Was A Time When Your Parent Told You How To Live 

And

You Obeyed 

Because 

You Knew That They Loved You 

And 

Wanted What Was Best For You! 

Our Father In Heaven ... Our Parent Supreme

Has Warned Against Trusting Our Deceitful 

Aka Lying, Unholy, Proud, Desperately Wicked Heart 

Which We May Only Know The Right About 

Through His Saving Grace! 

Remember, Remember

Don't Ever Forget ...

Man's Heart Desires What Soothes The Senses 

And 

Not What Pleases Almighty God 

And 

Satisfies The Savior-Seeking Soul! 

It Takes Amazing Grace 

To Get Us To The Heights Of Christ's Surpassing Glory 

Where No Wicked, Unregenerate, Heart May Enter! 

Grace Is Available! 

Grab It! 

Peace!

HAPPY SABBATH + Don't Let Satan Turn You Around!

 

In All Things, Give Thanks!?! 

How Does One Give Thanks For Wood Ants In Your Floor 

And Hornets In Your Attic!?! 

How Are We Supposed To Be Thankful For The Problems

Pressures, Parasites, And Plague-Rats In Our Lives!?! 

With Humility! 

Beloved, 

Wanting To Give Thanks Is Not The Issue! 

Being Obedient 

And

Doing The Will Of Almighty God 

Because 

He Asks Us To

Is 

The Command! 

We Are Soldiers Of The Cross! 

We, For Love, And With Willing Hearts

Offer Up Our Highest Worship 

Aka Obedience With Our Highest Praise Aka "Hallelujah!" 

Because 

We Know That He Who Says "Do!" 

Has Already Done 

And

Has Overcome For Us! 

Jesus Christ's Request 

Is 

A Test Of Our Faith ... Which Works By Love

And

Our Trust In Him Which Can Never Be Misplaced! 

Dear Ones, 

We Must Go Through To Come Through 

And

We Must Get Up To Stand Up 

To Go On Up ... To Jesus Christ's Glory! 

Let Us Remember This Day That 

Our Lord Jesus Equips Us 

And

Accompanies Us To Accomplish All That He Asks Of Us! 

Please Let Us Join Together This Day 

And 

Choose To Defeat Satan 

By Thanking Our Savior Who Satisfies Our Souls 

Through All The Changing Scenes And Seasons Of 

This Short But Eventful Life! 

Don't Let Satan Turn You Around! 

May The Lord Jesus Christ

Our Hope For Glory, Satisfy, Save, Sanctify

And 

Seal Us All Who Are Willing!

Peace!

Banking At I-Know Aka The Savings-No Loan Operation!

The Compass Has Four Points! 

We Are In The Middle! 

Decisions Must Be Made! 

We Are Headed Home! 

Ahead Is The Sea Of Sorrow And The Sea To Salvation! 

To The Left Is The Desert Of Damnation! 

To The Right Is Mount Misery! 

Behind Us Are The Dealers Of Certain Death

The Butchers Of The Land 

From Whence We Just Gloriously Escaped 

After Our God ... The True And Living God

Authorized And Achieved Our Rich Deliverance! 

But Now, We "See" No Way Out 

Until The Voice Of Faith Is Heard Joyfully Saying: 

"The Lord Be Praised! 

The Lord Is In Our Midst! 

He Is Above Us, Over Us, And Around Us! 

We Will Get Through!" 

Beloved, 

The Devil Is The Liar! 

We Must Go Forward! 

We Go Through To Come Through! 

We Must Look Up To Live! 

We Cannot Live And Eternally Prosper 

On I-Feel

I-Hear

And 

I-See! 

We Must Bank At I-Know

The Savings-No Loans Operation 

Led By He-Cares 

Who Does Not Abide Pipe Dreams Or Pie In The Sky By And By! 

Another Cry Goes Up: 

"Praying Is Power!

Song Is A Strong Weapon Against Despair!" 

Yet Another Voice Is Heard Saying: 

"His Grace Is Always Greater Than Our Sin!" 

Dear One, 

Please Hear Yourself Saying: 

"My Faithful, Obedient, Endurance Is The Cure-For-All!" 

Listen To Jesus The Christ As He Gently Says: 

"Gather Around, Children! 

Draw Nearer! 

Shelter, Be Safe, Under My Wings!" 

Choose To Believe

And 

Be Blessed! 

Peace!

  

 

The Heart Wants What It Wants!?!

KJV Hebrews 10:31, 35

31 It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.

35 Cast not away therefore your confidence, which hath great recompence of reward.

Do Not Reject The Love Of Almighty God! 

Satan, The Eternally Damned

Has A Countermanding  Command 

For Every Just And Righteous Commandment Of 

Our Holy God! 

Whose Word Are You Obeying!?! 

Please Remember That 

You Are The Slave Of The One Whom You Obey! 

Satan Says That 

"Do What Thou Wilt Shall Be The Whole Of The Law!" 

The Lord Of Life

The Living God Who Gives Us Grace 

With The Sure And Secure Invitation 

To His Surpassing Glory, Says: 

"Fear God, And Keep His Commandments 

For This Is The Whole Duty Of Man!" 

Beloved, 

As Always, Heed The Call: 

"Be Wise!" 

I Beseech Us All

As Pilgrims And Strangers In A Strange Land

Please Do Not Fall For The World's Technicolor Tactics! 

Do Not Fall Into The Trap That Says That: 

"The Heart Wants What It Wants ... No Holy God 

Or Pricking Conscience Moved By The Holy Spirit 

Who Leads Into All Truth Required Or Desired!" 

No Matter Our Station Or Standing

The Day Of Judgment Is Sure! 

I Sincerely Pray That We Will Be Of The Pilgrim Band 

Whose Judge Is The Kind King

The Shepherd Of Love

The Prince Of Peace Who Will Commend Us 

And 

Command Us To Enter Into His Rest! 

The Lord Be With You! 

Peace! 

The Guardian ... Our Guide ... Is Our God Alive!

When Your Greatest Enemy 

Is 

Both Deceiver And Destroyer

You Have Real Problems! 

When Your God 

Is 

Real And Alive

And 

He Is Both Savior And Sanctifier

And 

Is Known To Be The Shepherd Of Rest 

And 

Shield Of Defence

And 

Is The Only And True Redeemer Of Fallen Man 

And 

Can't Lose A Faithful Servant

Your Greatest Enemy Has Effectively Lost His Prey

And 

Now Has Himself An Enemy He Can't Shift

And 

A War That He Can't Win

At A Time That He Can't Determine

At The Cost Which He Must Pay

For A Prize That He Doesn't Want 

And

Which He Cannot Refuse! 

Beloved, 

Remember Why You Are Whose You Are 

And 

Use Your Gift Of Faith

Your Willing Obedience

And 

Your Voice In Song 

To Cheer You On The Way To Hill Zion! 

Please Remind Yourself That Jesus Christ 

Is 

Your Guardian And Your Guide 

To And Through Life 

And

Unwaveringly Trust Him To Take You Safely Home!

Please Do Not Be A Candle Under A Basket 

Nor A Candle In The Wind:

Boldly, Faithfully, Patiently, And Enduringly

Abide In The Lord 

And 

Be Forever Blessed! 

Peace!

Invite The Lord To Get All Up In Your Business!

"Go Where I Send You!"
"Do What I Say!"
"Live By Your Faith In Me!"
"Do Not Yield To Temptation!"
"Pray, Beloved, And Stay In The Holy Way!"


Dear Ones,

There Is No One Calling Themselves Christian
Who Will Enter The Promised Land ... The Beautiful City Of God
If
They Are Afraid Of Their Shadow
Things That Go "Bump!" In The Night

The Harsh Words Of Naysayers
The Disappointments And Distresses Of Life
And
The Cruelties Of The Enemy Of Souls!

We, As Followers Of The Lord Christ
Cannot Be Wafflers Or Fence-Jockeys
And
For Sure We Cannot Be Neutral In The Conflict Of The Ages
Saying That We Are Not Getting Involved In Anybody's War!

Our God Is Only As Strong In Our Lives
As We Permit Him To Be In Our Lives!

Please Trust In The Lord Christ
By Believing His Words Of Promise
And
Claiming His Strength
His Salvation
His Power
His Provision
His Protection
And
His Perfect Peace!

Beloved,

Please Invite The Lord 

To Get All Up In Your Business Today
So That You May Courageously Do What He Says 

Always And In All Ways!

The Lord Is Our Rock!

Peace!

Have You Ever Seen A Half-Donkey Carrying A Load!?!

Lukewarm Is To Indifferent 

What Hot Or Cold Is To Enthusiastic! 

Beloved, 

Would You Want To Be In A Relationship, A Friendship, Or A Job 

Where Your Presence Is Considered "Meh!" Aka Unimpressive!?! 

Would You Pay Top Dollar For Almost Ice-Cream!?! 

Would You Worship The God Who Almost Created A Moving You

Who Balked At Staying On The Cross To Save You

Who On-Again, Off-Again Contemplates Redeeming You

And 

Ever Tells You To Eat All You Want 

But 

Never Unlocks The Storehouse Of Good And Plenty!?! 

Since We Serve The God Who Can And Does

Who Gave His All To Give You His Best

Why Would You Ever Think That Jesus Christ The Lord Of Life 

Will Ever, Ever, Accept Anything Less Than 

Skin In The Game

Heart-Felt

God Is My All Worship, Praise

And 

Obedience From Any One Of Us!?! 

Jesus Christ Went All-In For Us: 

He Sweated Blood

And

He, Innocent, Gave Up His Life For Us Known Guilty! 

Can We In Truthfulness Do Less 

And 

Still Be Called Committed Christians!?! 

Have You Ever Seen A Half-Donkey Carrying A Load!?! 

If You Can Picture It

Then You Know What An Unenthusiastic

Uncommitted

Unconverted Christian Looks Like! 

It Ain't Pretty

Ain't Serving No Purpose

And 

Ain't Going Nowhere!

Total Commitment To Christ Is Job One! 

The Alternative Is To Be Abhorred! 

Any Questions!?! 

Peace!

Intimately Connect With The Lord Jesus Christ!

In The Realm Of Marriage And Relationships

People Are Advised To Cooperate

Communicate

Connect

And 

Negotiate 

If 

They Don't Want Said Relationships 

To Deteriorate And Disintegrate! 

Beloved, 

In The Marriage Relationship With The Lord Christ

Things Are Seriously Different 

On One Exceedingly Significant Point! 

Going Into The Relationship With Our Lord Jesus

We Know Up Front What To Expect 

Because 

He Has Provided A Fact-Book 

Aka The Preserved Word Aka The Holy Bible 

Which Tells Who He Is

What He Has Done

What He Is Doing

And 

What He Will Do For Each Of Us Individually 

And 

Personally! 

If We Will Read The Book

Then We Will Know Him

His Love And Personal Sacrifice For Us

His Desires

Our Rights

And 

Our Benefits Aka Abundant Blessings Current And Future

- Most Of Which Are Unimaginable - 

So That There Is Absolutely Nothing 

To Be Discontented About Or Negotiate Over! 

Where Our Relationship With The Lord 

Will Deteriorate And Disintegrate 

Is 

If We Neglect To Willingly Cooperate

Deeply Communicate

And 

Intimately Connect With Him ... Moment By Moment! 

We Cannot Out-Love

Out-Live

Out-Give

Or Out-Do The Lord 

So Let's Fervently Pray

Widely Share 

And 

Unashamedly Care 

And 

Cover All Of Our Bases Through Working Faith

Unflinching Trust

Complete Obedience

Pray-Propelled Endurance

And 

Humble Worship And Heartfelt Praise!

Peace!  

The Lord Jesus Christ

Is

The Strength Of Our Lives!

 

Be Wise To Rise To Glory!

What Have You Done For The Master!?! 

Are You Doubting What The Master Has Done

Is Doing Or Will Do For You!?! 

Are You Contemplating 

Why The Lord Needs You To Do Anything For Him 

When He Has Everything At His Disposal 

And 

Owns Everything Seen And Unseen, Known And Unknown!?! 

Beloved, 

You, Personally, Are Precious, Special, To Our Dear Savior! 

No Person Living, Dead, Dying, Denying, Defying

Rigid, Rude, Recalcitrant, Or Ruthless 

Is 

Able To Change Almighty God's Love For 

And 

Desire To Have Us Accept The Gifts Given

And 

Perform Our Assignments To Gather With Him 

As We Tell The Good News Of Free-To-All Salvation

The Living God's Love, Grace, Mercy, Truth, Faithfulness 

And 

Loving-Kindness 

Which Will Never Fail Us! 

You, Personally, Are The Apple Of Our Lord's Eye

The One For Whom He Poured Out His Innocent Blood 

So That You, Cleansed Thereby And Forgiven

And 

Willingly, Enduringly, Obediently Cooperating With Him

May Have His Everlasting Life! 

Please Allow The Naysayers To Swear

And 

The Gainsayers To Bray 

But

See To It, For Love Divine, That 

You Hold To Our God's Unchanging Hand 

Unphased By Opposition 

As You Love Yourself By Loving Your Savior 

By Thought, Word, And Deed! 

Obey: Don't Stray! 

Pray: Don't Run Away! 

Be Wise: Rise To Stand Before The Throne Of God 

As The Obedient Child Of The King

The Diligent Student Of The School Of Christ

And 

The Trustworthy Servant Of The Eternal God! 

Peace!

Consider Your Ways ... And Please The Lord!

Let No Human Or Malevolent Spirit Fool You: 

Attitude About 

And

Behavior Towards The Lord Are Everything! 

Our Blessings And Our Prosperity 

Depend Upon Our Total Obedience 

To The Word And The Will Of Our Almighty God! 

Partial Obedience Is Disobedience ... Which Is Dangerous 

And

Willful Disobedience Is  Deadly! 

Just Ask Nadab, Abihu, Achan

Hophni, Phineas, Balaam, And King Saul! 

Disobedience Comes Of The PEG

Aka Pride, Envy, And Greed

Which Is In The Devil's Domain! 

Nothing Good Ever Came Or Will Come From 

The Hand Of Satan! 

Beloved, 

See Sin With Your Eyes 

But 

Don't Ever Choose To Romance It 

No Matter How Beautiful

Mouth-Watering

Or Potentially Profitable Its Appearance! 

The Lord Asks Us To Consider Our Ways 

Because 

Our Unsancitified Ways Obviously Do Not Please Him 

Even As They Do Not Bless Us! 

Folly Is Not Common-Sense! 

Let Us, Therefore, Choose To Follow Uncommon Sense

Aka Faith

And 

Bless Almighty God With Our Willing, Ready, Obedience! 

When Our Ways Please The Lord

He Causes Our Enemies To Be At Peace With Us! 

Best Of All, Though

When We Seek The Kingdom Of God 

And 

Make It First In Our Affections

The Necessities Of Life Will Always Be Provided To Us 

And

We Shall Surely Reach The Heavenly Home! 

Peace!

PRAYER:

Father, 

Please Help Us To Be Wise Unto Salvation 

So That Our Ways Will Please You Today! 

AMEN.

 

Believe The Blessed One!

In The Realm Of Flesh

There Is The Daily, Moment-By-Moment, Struggle 

Between I-See And I-Trust

And 

Between I-Know And I-Feel! 

Be As Those Who Stand In Faith

And Confidently Say:

"I Know And I Trust My Lord Jesus Christ!"

Beloved, 

There Are Two Leaders: 

Satan The Damned 

And 

The Savior Blessed! 

There Are Two Peoples Out Of The Stock Called Sinner 

Aka Obedient And Disobedient

Aka Faithful And Doubtful! 

Only One Group 

Is 

Striving To Be Saints Of God And Christ

And 

Have Chosen Service And Endurance As Their Way Of Life 

In The Quest To Reach The Heavenly Home! 

Who Are You 

And 

Under Which Leader 

Are You Choosing To Energetically Serve!?! 

Do You Know Your Assignment 

And 

Are You Operating To Your Potential 

As Seen Through The Eyes Of The Lord Christ 

Or Are You Allowing The Accuser Of The Brethren

Satan The Base, Known Bold And Brazen 

To Forcefully Remind You Of What You Once Were 

While Trying To Convince You That 

You Are Not Nor Ever Will Be 

Worthy To Ascend To The Heights Unknown 

To Dwell With The Holy Go

d Who Is A Consuming Fire 

To All Who Do Not Renounce Their Sin 

And 

Accept The Free-To-All Salvation!?! 

Our Lord Jesus 

Is 

The Promise-Keeping God 

Who Invites You To Dine At His Table 

On The Good Food That He Constantly Provides 

From The Heart Filled With Love And Caring 

For You  ... Personally! 

To Coin The Old Phrase

"Let Us Wash Out Our Guts" 

And

As Members Of The Clean-Plate Club

Decidedly Sit Down At The Lord's Table 

And 

Eat Like There Is No Tomorrow: 

All Contented-In-Christ Eaters Win The Crown Of Life! 

You Are Greatly Beloved: 

Believe The Blessed One ... Not Beelzebub! 

Peace!

IT IS WRITTEN: The Living Word Works!

 

You Are A Spectator In A Battle For Which You Are Not Prepared! 

You Cannot Win In A Spiritual War 

If You Don't Know Your Savior

     His Character

          What He Does

                How He Will Do It

And 

                      Your Status In Him! 

Beloved, 

Would You Go To Do Battle In A Flooded Field 

Wearing Dress Clothes

Using Ball-Room Manners

And 

Holding A Butter-Knife When Your Enemy 

Indulges Guerrilla Warfare 

And 

Isn't Afraid To Stick You With A Long Blade 

Like You're A Pig At The Back-Yard Butcher 

Who Knows Running Blood Is Ready Money!?! 

As Believers, We Are People Of The Book

Learners Of The Word

And 

Good And Faithful Stewards Standing On The Promises Of God

Living For Jesus

Led By The Holy Spirit

Influenced By Holy Angels

Ready To Hear And Obey

Despisers Of Doubt

And 

Embracers Of Enduring Faith! 

We Stand Firm On 

"God Said It! I Believe It 

And That Settles All Questions For Me!" 

How Can We Be Settled In 

And

Live On The Word Of God When We Don't Know What It Says!?! 

Jesus Christ Won In His Battle With Satan 

In The Wilderness Of Temptation 

By Wielding The Weapon Of The Word 

And 

Declaring 

"It Is Written ...!" 

He Could Do That 

Because 

He Intimately Knew The Word

And 

Understood And Accepted As Fact That 

The Living Word Works

The Living Word Wars

And 

That He Could Win His Warfare 

With The Wonderful Words Of Life! 

It Is My Prayer That 

We Will Each Come To A Saving Knowledge Of 

The Word Of God That Speaks 

Everlasting Life! 

May The Holy Spirit Touch You Mightily 

As You Lovingly Touch The Word Of Truth Today! 

Peace!

HAPPY SABBATH + Don't Bre'k A Short Crop!

When We Were Growing Up

The Elders Had An Expression Used Against Those 

Who Despised Correction 

And 

Were Disrespectful Of Authority 

Which Should Give Us Pause, Especially Today! 

"You Ain't Raised Up, Yuh Dragged Up 

And Yuh Gine Bre'k A Short Crop!" 

Aka You Have Raised Yourself 

And 

You Will Not Amount To Anything! 

Talk About Leaving Yourself With No Remedy! 

Whoa! 

Beloved, 

These Are Seriously Damning Words 

And 

As People Of The Book

We Should Seriously Look At Ourselves

And Those Whom We Love

And Those For Whom We Care 

And

Choose The Good Part 

And 

Get Off Broadway And Easy Street

And Keep Right On This Is The Way, Walk Ye In It

And Hold Strain On It's Not An Easy Road

And Tighten Your Belt On His Yoke Is Easy

And Replenish Your Supplies On Shepherd's Bush

And Put Your Hand In The Hand Of The God-Man On Revive Us Again

And 

Fix Your Mind On No More Night! 

Consider This ... 

Easy Ain't Always Healthy 

And 

Hard Ain't Automatically Deadly! 

Remember, Dear Ones, That 

Children Of The Faithful Father

Earnest, Cooperative, Obedient

Willing To Learn

Willing To Try

Trusting

And 

Intent On Doing The Will 

And 

Walking Wisely In Way Marked For Their Feet

Are Blessed, Protected, Comforted, Carried

Held, Helped, Healed

And

Happy! 

Be Ye Warned ... 

Disobedience Pays Negative Wages: 

Obedience Pays Dividends! 

Remember, Remember 

Don't Ever Forget ... 

A Harvested Crop Cannot Bear Fruit A Second Time 

So Grow In All You Can 

While You Can 

In The Garden Of Grace! 

Keep On The Sunny Side Of Life! 

Peace!

Blessed Are They That Do His Commandments!

If Loving The  Lord Is Keeping His Commandments Aka Obedience

Then Being Thankful To Him

Being Grateful For His Love

Is 

Giving Him Free-Will, Heartfelt, Worship 

And 

Total Praise! 

If Knowing Your End Keeps You From Sinning

Then Knowing Your Beginning

Honoring Your Creator

Embracing Wisdom

Shall Keep You In The Faith That Cannot Fail! 

If The Lord Honors Those Who Honor Him

It Is Obvious Then That He Will Lift You Up 

In The Time Appointed! 

If You Hide The Word Of The Lord

- The Truth That Saves - 

In Your Heart To Be A Lamp For Your Feet 

And

The Light On The Way Home To Glory

Then Those Who Cast The Truth To The Ground 

Walk In Darkness 

And 

Shall Go To Hell!  

If The Lord Is Our Gentle Shepherd

Then We Are His Blessed Sheep 

On Lush Ever-Green Pastures 

Near Still Waters Sweet

And 

We Know That Our Restored Souls 

He Lovingly, Faithfully, Keeps! 

Beloved, 

Let No One Persuade You 

Our Holy God Faithful To Spurn 

So That From The Path Of Truth And Duty

From Wise Discernment

Unto Fables And Idols 

You, Totally Deceived, Turn! 

Please Dare To Let Faith Be First: 

Give Doubt No Hold! 

Please Choose To Let Trust Be First: 

Heaven Is The Only Goal! 

Please Courageously Let Truth Be First: 

Jesus Christ Is The Keeper Of Your Soul! 

Please Stand Up For The Lord Christ

- Our True And Only King - 

And 

In This Matter, Be Very, Very, Bold! 

Ever Remember To Walk Onward 

And 

Upward Into Truth! 

Peace!
