VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: YOUR CHOICE: Lip-Service Sorry Or True Repentance







Most People's Idea Of Being "Sorry!" 
Is 
With Regard To Being Caught Doing The Thing 
And
Getting Off Cheaply ... Or Without Cost 
And Not
About Actual Repentance Aka Turning Away From The Sin 
And
Not Doing It Again
By The Saving Grace Of The Living God! 

Beloved, 

Think About What You Thought Of Doing
Spoke About Doing
Have Done
Are Doing
Or Are Planning To Do: 
Where's Your Heart!?! 

If You Were Caught Doing The Dirty
Would You Be Truly Repentant Or Lip-Service Sorry!?! 

Which Would Hurt You More: 
Being Caught
Having To Apologize
Being Punished
Being Made Ashamed
Or Recognizing That 
Your Actions Crucify Our Dear Savior Again 
And
Bring His Name To Open Shame 
In The Presence Of Eager Evil-Doers!?! 

Being Repentant To Get Out Of Trouble 
Is 
Demeaning To The One Whom You've Hurt 
And
Insulting To The Lord Christ 
Who Has Gifted Us With Confession Of 
And 
Repentance For Sin 
As The Clear Path To Soul Salvation! 

All Sin 
Is 
Against Almighty God! 

False Repentance Diminishes All Who Consider 
Almighty God's Grace And Mercy 
As Cheap 
And 
Useless Trinkets! 

Please Walk Softly Before Our Lord Jesus 
And 
Choose To Treat Repentance 
As Though Your Life Depends On It: 
It Truly Does! 

Please Don't Sell Your Soul Short 
For A Sure Shot At Vain Glory! 

Offer To The Lord A Broken 
And 
Contrite Heart! 

Peace!
