VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Delulu!

 

Why Are You All Calling Her Delulu!?! 

Isn't Her Name Rosalie!?! 

Marion, My Dear, Her Name Is Indeed Rosalie 

But, Without Exception

We Know That Delulu Fits Her Much Better! 

We May Not Be Her Mother 

But We Have Given Her The Name That Matches Her Character! 

Isn't That Kinda Harsh, Mohrmahnie!?! 

It May Be Harsh, Mavis

But It Is About The Only Relief We Can Get From Her Behavior! 

She Knows What We Are Doing 

And She Does Not Care! 

What On Earth Do You Mean, Mohrmahnie!?! 

Why Would Anyone Accept A Name That Is Not Their Own!?!

Mavis, Our Dear Rosalie Has The Grand Idea That 

She Knows What Is Best For Everyone 

And Goes To Great Lengths To Tell Us, With Great Authority

What To Think, How To Act

Who To Speak To, What To Say

And Even What To Ask The Good Lord For In Our Prayers! 

I'm Sorry To Say It, Mohrmahnie

But Your Rosalie Sound Totally Delusional! 

Mavis, Muh Girl, You Arrive! 

Welcome! 

Lady M, Would You Like To Explain That Remark!?! 

Mavis, Don't Let Me Call You Molasses! 

Why Would You Do Such A Thing!?! 

I Would Call You Molasses 

Because You Real Slow On The Uptake!

You Were Sorry To Call Rosalie Delusional 

But Did Not Make The Connection To Delulu! 

Gracious Me! I Truly Didn't! 

Looking Back, She Is Delulu As You Put It 

Because The Lord Did Not Charge Her 

To Be Anybody's Brain, Body, Or Boss! 

We Each Will Stand Before The Judgment Bar Of 

The Lord Jesus Christ 

Whether We Are Right, Wrong, Humble, Proud

Converted, Unconverted, Blessed Or Cursed 

To Answer For What We Have Done In Our Own Flesh! 

Is She Our Savior!?! 

Did She Die For Our Sin!?! 

Is She Our Advocate!?! 

Will She Leave Earth, Go To The Father's Throne

Intercede For Us And Return To Earth 

And Call Us To Meet HER In The Air 

To Go Home To Heaven For The 1,000 Years Of Peace!?! 

Come Now, Mavis! 

We Know She Won't Because She Can't 

Hence Her "Delulu" Appellation! 

Somebody Needs To Beard That Roaring Lionness! 

We Tried ... And Failed! 

She Says That The Lord Speaks To Her 

Giving Her Special Revelation For Us "Mere Mortals!"  

Lady M, All I Have To Say To Her, And All Like Her

Is To Stop Calling The Lord's Name 

Relevant To Their Lying Revelations Of Foolishness! 

The Lord Clearly Warned Us About That Madness 

And She Had Better Take Heed! 

Tell Me That Text, Ms. Mavis! 

Sure! 2 Peter 2:3 ... Destruction Is Coming! 

Everybody Clean Up, Clean Up! 

AMEN!!! 

Peace! 

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Malicious Wickedness!?!

 

Let Me Say It Another Way: 

Dish-Out Does Give A Pay-Back! 

Sowers Reap More Than They Sow 

So Be Very, Very Careful Of What You Maliciously Do To Others 

Because Maliciousness Has Got Two "I" - Two Eyes: 

One For Me, The Target

And For Thee, The Archer! 

Its Origin Is Satanic 

So It Is Without Caring Or Conscience 

And Will Eat The Eater! 

Never Ever Forget That Maliousness Is A Curse 

And Wickedness Mek It Wors'! 

Planned And Produced Sin Is Iniquity 

And Is An Offense Against Almighty God 

And A Hurt To Man! 

Peter, Have You Ever Considered That 

People Who Take Pleasure In Their Ungodly Doings 

Ignoring The Pain And Anguish They Inflict Upon Others

And That Without Mercy

Are The First To Say "Why Me!?!" 

And Beg And Plead With The Living God

- Whom They Disparage And Despise - 

For The Very Mercy That 

They Deny Their Targets, Their Prey

Their Inoffensive Victims!?! 

Yes, Mackey, I Did

But I Don't Understand It Even Now! 

Peter, My Friend

It Blows My Mind Every Time I See It! 

Mackey, What I Don't Get Is 

Why They Would Think To Ask God For Mercy 

After They Have Hurt Someone 

And Not Ask For Mercy Before They Hurt That Person!?! 

Pearson, That Is The Million Dollar Question 

And It Is The Behavior Of The Fool 

Who Says That There Is No God! 

They Do Not Hold God In Their Thoughts

Say That He Cannot See Them

And Do Not Believe That 

There Is The Almighty God 

To Hear The Cries Of His People 

Who Are Praying For Justice And Relief! 

I Believe With All My Heart That 

Though, To Me, The Lord Tarries

His Justice Will Come 

And It Will Be At The Right Time 

For He Is Never Late! 

I Encourage Us All To Keep The Holy Faith 

Because Every Long Day Has A Five O'clock! 

When The Shutters Come Down On That Bank 

Whoever Is Inside The Building Has No Way Of Escape 

And Will Have To Face The Music 

When The Bank Opens Again! 

You Know What

I Will Stick With The Lord Because, As King David Said

The Lord Will Have Mercy: 

Man Won't! 

Thank You, Lord, For Grace And Mercy! 

AMEN!!! 

Peace Be Upon Us All! 

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Reality Always Bites!

Ohhh, I Can Just Feel It! 

Feel What, Mauby!?! 

The Intense Part Of The Sermon Lecture Talk, Maybe

About To Come From Bro. Lookatit! 

Mauby, You Know That That Is Not His Name

And You Shouldn't Make Mock-Sport Of The Teacher! 

Any Way, Maybe, Here It Comes! ... 

Look At It, Brethren

We All Have Only One Of Two Choices: 

The Liar Or The Lord, The Savior Or The Destroyer

Heaven Or Hell, Immortality Or Oblivion

Blessing Or Cursing, Love Or Hate

Light Or Darkness, Truth Or Error Aka Lies

Wisdom Or Folly, Peace Or War

Hope Or Despair, Life Or Death

And Sickness Or Health! 

Contrary To Popular Opinion, This Is Not Rocket Science! 

This Is Reality, Real Life 101! 

The Lord Does Not Have A Hidden Agenda: 

The Adversary Does! 

The Lord Provides Full Disclosure: 

The Adversary Indulges Smoke And Mirrors! 

The Lord Gives The Facts Regarding The Present And The Future: 

The Adversary Obscures The Truth Regarding The Present 

And Boldly Lies About The Future! 

The Lord Can Make You Do What He Wants But He Will Not: 

Satan Would Like To Force You To Do What He Wants But He Cannot! 

The Adversary Hates Who And What The Lord Loves: 

The Lord Loves Who And What The Adversary Hates! 

Let Us Seriously Look At It: 

We Have The Opportunity To Go To The Home 

Which The Adversary Can Never Return To 

And So He Has Made It His Reason For Being 

To Try To Stop Any And All Of Us 

From Going There With His Machinations: 

He Knows What We Will Be Getting 

Because He Knows What He Has Lost! 

Regret Is His Lot: 

Hope Is To Our Glory! 

When You Honestly Take A Look At It

The Choice, Good Or Ill, Is Ours Alone! 

The Word Is Our Guide: 

Really Look At It And Read It With Understanding! 

Brethren, 

I Sincerely Pray That We Will All Forget About The "Feels" 

And Choose To Choose Wisely!  

Peace Be Unto You! 

 

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Good Report!?!

 

Okay, That Is It For Roll Call! 

True, Honest, Just, Pure, And Lovely

I Am Truly Glad To See You Again! 

I See That Good Report Is Late Yet Again! 

Brother Choosy, Good Report Is Not Late! 

He Has Chosen Not To Show His Face! 

Really!?! 

And Why Is That, Lovely!?! 

Well, It Is Not My Story To Really Tell 

But Since You Pressed Me

Good Report Reported That 

He Has Not Found Anything Of Good Report To Report 

So His Report Is Not To Report His Report! 

Lovely Lady, Would You Care To Run That Pretzel By Me Again!?! 

Ohhh, Never Mind! 

I Have A Mind To Mind My Mind! 

Please Go And Ask Good Report To Come On In! 

Will Do, Brother Choosy! 

MOMENTS LATER ... 

Thank You, Good Report, For Gracing Us With Your Presence! 

Please Tell Us What Has You In Such A Tizzy!?! 

Brother Choosy, I Have Never Been So Discouraged In My Life! 

I Could Not Find A Single Thing That 

I Could Say Was Worth Thinking On Because 

It, Of Itself And In Its Present State

Was Nothing Good To Hear, See, Or Do! 

It Was As Though People Are Hell-Bent 

On Joyfully Gracing Hell With Their Presence! 

It Was The Young, The Old, The Grey And The Grizzly! 

Biting My Tongue Was All I Could Do Not To Cry 

Knowing That The Adversary Must Be In His Glee!

 

It Was Almost Like What We Read About 

The Cities Of The Plain In Lot's Day! 

Okay, Good Report, Calm Down! 

We Can Figure This Out! 

First, You Should All Know By Now That 

You Cannot Make A Silk Purse Out Of A Sow's Ear! 

Secondly, If A Thing Has No Redeeming Features

It Must Be Cast Out Of Our Minds 

So That We Are Not Cast Into Outer Darkness! 

Thirdly, If That Thing Has No Virtue

Much Like Point Second, Then We Cannot Lift It Up By Praise! 

Remember Always: Heavenly Treasure Before Worldly Pleasure! 

Dear Ones,

Look At Your Own Names And Assignments 

And Pay Close Attention To Me! 

You Are All Brethren, And You Are Linked In A Chain: 

If You Are True, You Are Honest! 

If You Are Honest, You Are Just! 

If You Are Just, You Are Pure

And If You Are Pure, You Will Be Lovely! 

Now, If The Five Of You Run True To Form 

- Pardon Me, True - 

Good Report Will Smile And Make A Good Report 

Stressing Heavily On Its Virtue

And Will Sing Its Praise

And We Will Be Completely Free To Think, To Meditate, On That Thing! 

Remember, My Children:

Our Lives Are What Our Thoughts Make Them 

So Jealously, Zealously, Guard Your Heart! 

Stick Together 

And Good Report Will Indeed Smile! 

Peace! 

 

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Cossie

 

You Real Up And Down, Cossie! 

I Know, Mavis! 

Isn't It Wonderful!?! 

Are You Mad, Cossie!?! 

Mavis Is Insulting You! 

Mavis Would Like To Believe That She Is Insulting Me 

But, Truth Be Told

She Just Paid Me A Wonderful Compliment, Cuddy! 

Oh, Brother! 

I Have Got To Hear This! 

It Is Like This, Cuddy! 

I Am A Christian And I Have Committed Myself 

To Walk Consistently In The Light That Leads To Life! 

To Do This, I Must Grow 

And To Grow, To Show Growth

To Show That I Am Growing Up 

Into The Stature That Is Jesus Christ The King

I Must Put Down Roots As In 

I Must Be Rooted And Grounded In The Word! 

I Must Know And Live, Practice, Preach, And Purvey That 

Which I Know, Understand, And Accept 

Is The Saving Truth

The Truth For Today Always Current! 

Wait A Minute, Cossie! 

Where You Get That Line From!?! 

Wait, Mastic! 

Don't You Read Your Bible At All!?! 

I Read My Bible And I Ain't Never Seen That Sentiment! 

Wow! 

Another Surface Reader! 

Another One Who Is Reading Without Understanding! 

I Know, Reggie! 

Do You Want To Tell Them Or Should I!?! 

I'll Take A Piece Of That Action! 

Brethren, 

Have You Not Read The Parable That Jesus Told 

About The Sower And The Seed!?! 

Of Course We Have! 

Nice Story! 

I Like The Part About The Harvest That Was 

30, 60, And 100-Fold Return! 

Cossie, It's The Usual, Isn't It!?! 

Yup! Look Only At The Reward And Not At The Regrets! 

Sigh ...! 

Okay, People! 

Listen To Me Carefully! 

Jesus Firmly Spoke About The Seed That 

Fell On Rocky Ground! 

There Was Little Soil 

And Even Though The Seed Sprouted

It Had No Depth Of Earth 

To Send Down Roots To Hold Nourishment 

And So It Could Not Grow Up 

To Bear Fruit To Be Harvested 

And So It Died! 

So, You See, Up And Down Christianity 

Is Good Theology! 

Dig Deep Into The Word 

And Grow Up In Sanctification 

Which Is The Work Of Lifetime 

As The Holy Spirit Leads Us Into All Truth! 

Brethren, Think Carefully! 

A Tree Without Roots ... Deep Roots

Cannot, Will Not, Endure A Storm In Its Life! 

Troubles Toss Rootless Trees! 

Christians Unschooled In The Word Of God 

Do Not Know How To Live 

Or Why A Christian Lives In The Manner That 

The Lord Specified! 

Oh, My, Reggie! 

I Feel Really Ashamed Of Myself 

Now That You've Explained The Story! 

Cossie, I Am Sorry For Attempting To Insult You! 

It's Okay, Mavis! 

Some Good Came Of It! 

Yes, Cossie! 

I'm Going To Read That Parable Again 

And I Am Going To Start My Journey Again 

And Be An Up And Down Christian ... The Good Way: 

Down In The Word 

And Up Toward Sanctification 

Which Leads To Glorification! 

Hear, Hear! 

Lord, Lead Me, Lead Us Gently Along! 

AMEN!!! 

Peace! 

 

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Learning The Language Of The Saved!

Chubbles, You Won't Believe The Language That I Have Been Learning Lately! 

Do Tell ...! 

Girl, It Has Been Exciting And I Am Learning A Lot! 

But What Is ...!?! 

Chubbs, You Have Got To Learn This Language! 

It Sweet Fuh Days! 

But, Mavis, You Are ...! 

Will You Stop Interrupting My Flow!?! 

I Am Trying Real Hard To Tell You About This Need To Know Language 

In Which All Committed Christians Must Have Proficiency! 

I Would Love To Hear About It, Mavis! 

Say On! 

Well, Chubbs, I Was Talking To Carson 

And He Said That He Heard About It From His Cousin Aunt Husband 

Who Heard About It From The Pastor's Sister-Friend! 

Anyway, It Seems As Though All The Church Members 

Have Here Of Late Been Moaning, Groaning, And Complaining That 

If They Are So Blessed, How Come That Their Blessings Are So Few! 

Uh, Oh ...! 

You Said It Right! 

Anywho, Pastor Hisone Got Good And Tired Of 

The Members Behaving Like Agony-Aunts 

And He Read Them The Riot Act! 

Sufficed To Say, What The Pastor Said 

Lit A Fire Under Those People And It Is Spreading! 

What Is The Language, Mavis, The Language!?! 

Oh, Sorry! Pastor Hisone Told Those People That 

If They Learned To Speak Grateful And Stop Speaking Gimme

Maybe The Lord In Mercy Would Permit Them To Physically See 

More Of HIS BOUNTIES! 

Why Are You Shouting, Mavis!?! 

I'm Shouting Because I Was Blind! 

We Have Bibles, Don't We!?! 

Should A Pastor Have To Tell Us To Be Grateful!?! 

Doesn't The Word Say "Give Thanks!?!" 

You Can't Give Thanks With An Ungrateful Heart You Know! 

You Ain't Lie At All, Mavis

And I'm Guilty Of The Same Crime ... Ingratitude! 

Well, Let's Get Over Ourselves

And Be Grateful And Thankful Always

And Our Lord Jesus Will Bless Us 

And Give Us His Peace And Rest! 

AMEN!!! 

Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Touch-Starved!?!

 

Platonic Physical Contact!?! 

Yeah! It's A Thing! 

But Why!?! Isn't That What We All Do 

With Friends, Acquaintances And The Like, Chari!?! 

What I Want To Know Is 

Why There Is That Particular Modifier '"Platonic" Appended! 

Well, Let Me Tell You About It, Brown Girl! 

As I Understand It, This Desire For Platonic Physical Contact

Comes About A Result Of One Being Rendered "Touch Starved" 

After The Breakup Of An Intimate Relationship! 

Really, Colly!?! 

I Kid You Not, Bramble! 

So Whose Fault Is That!?! 

That's A Very Good Question, Youme! 

So Who Has The Answer!?! 

I'll Take A Stab At It 

But You May Not Like The Answer! 

Alright, Bamsee! 

Let's Hear What You've Got! 

We Are Christians, Right!?! 

Of Course We Are! 

And We Are, Or Should Be

In A Committed, Intimate, Relationship With Our Lord Jesus!?! 

Of Course We Are! 

That's The Foundation And The Backbone

The Head And Belly If You Will, Of Being A Christian! 

Nice Point, Phensic! 

Sooo, When You Are In This Committed And Intimate Relationship With The Lord

How Do You Have Or Preserve And Grow Your Relationship!?! 

Come On, Bamsee! That's An Easy Question! 

So What's The Easy Answer, Bramble!?! 

As If You Don't Know

We Reverently Say Our Prayers

Enthusiastically Sing Praises To His Holy Name

And Deliberately Read Or Listen To His Word

And Lovingly Think On And Speak About Him 

As We Remember His Goodness To Us 

And His Sacrifice For Us! 

That's A No-Brainer! 

So What Would Happen If, No, When We Neglect 

To Do All Of Those Things 

Noted In Your "No-Brainer" Answer, BRAMBLE! 

Bamsee, Like In Any Intimate Relationship

The Gentle, Gradual, Erosion Of The Intimate Points Of Contact 

Turns That Relationship Into Something Platonic 

But With A Nasty Twist Called "Friends With Benefits" 

That Is Decidedly One-Sided  ... 

Until  ... The Relationship  ...Ship Sails  

... To Parts Unknown!  

And  ...!?!  

In Hindsight, And With Regret, And Sorrow

Recognizing Our Sin Against Our Soul, Our Self

And The Savior Of Us All

We, Touch-Starved  ...!  

... Did You Have To Use That Horrible Phrase, Chari!?! 

Yes, Brown Girl! 

And, As I Started To Say

Instead Of Going Back To Jesus

We, Stubborn, And Resistant To Truth - Just Like King Saul - 

And The Calling Of The Holy Spirit

We Turn To Yearning For What Cannot Satisfy! 

We Turn To Seeking Out Platonic Physical Contact 

Aka Contact Without Commitment 

Aka A Berth, A Work-Station In The Devil's, The Deceiver's Workshop! 

Dear God, Help Us All! 

You've Turned This Whole Platonic Physical Contact Touch-Starved Thing 

Into An Indictment Against Us! 

Yes, Youme! 

I Told You That You Wouldn't Like The Answer! 

You Did And I Don't BUT Facts Are Facts 

And Reality Bites

The Pain Of Separation Hurts

And Truth Elevates! 

So, Are We Going To Do Right And Get Your Wrong Things Righted 

So That We May Live In The Light Of Him Who Is Our Peace!?! 

Do You Remember That Song, "Jesus, Lover Of My Soul, Let Me To Your Bosom Fly!?! 

Yes, Brown Girl! 

Let's Sing It! 

AMEN!!! 

Peace! 

 

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Do You Know The Distance Between Heaven And Hell!?!

Psalm 4:1 KJV

Hear me when I call, O God of my righteousness: thou hast enlarged me when I was in distress; have mercy upon me, and hear my prayer.

Do You Know The Distance Between Heaven And Hell!?! 

Come On, Saury! 

No Created Being Can Know That Figure! 

Are You A Committed To Christ Christian, Baulher!?! 

Of Course, I Am! 

Well, I Am, Too, And I Can Definitively Tell You 

Without Fear Of Contradiction 

What is The Distance Between Heaven And Hell! 

Cheupse! 

You Always Coming With Some Nonsense To Fret People Spirit! 

I Am Serious, Celeyse! 

Oh, Really!?! 

How Could You, A Dust Bunny, Pardon My Harsh Language 

Know Something That Is Not Written Down In The Bible

And Thus Not Available For Our Education!?! 

Well, Sweet Girl, That Shows Your Lack

Your Saaad Lack, Of Bible Knowledge! 

Them's Fighting Words So You'd Better Take That Back! 

I Will Not Because I Am Right 

And You, Poor Dear, Are Wrong! 

Okay, Then, Know-It-All! 

Prove That You Are Right! 

With Pleasure! 

Philippians 4:6 ... Pray Without Ceasing! 

If, Let's Say, You Found Yourself Heading Toward Hell 

And You Don't Want To Go There

What Would You Do!?! 

That's Easy! 

I Would Be Praying And Pleading With Almighty God 

In The Name Of Jesus Christ The Righteous 

To Help Me To Not Go There! 

Celeyse, Did I Hear You Correctly When You Said

And I Quote: "I Would Be Praying ... !?!" 

Well, Yes, You Did, Saury! 

So What!?! 

You Still Don't Get It, Do You!?! 

Get What!?! 

What Am I Supposed To Get!?! 

Celeyse, Celeyse, Celeyse ... Tsk, Tsk, Tsk! 

The Distance Between Heaven And Hell ...! 

... I Know, I Know! 

Yes, Baulher! 

It's A Prayer! It's A Prayer!?! 

But, But, How!?! 

Celeyse, My Dear, Prayer Will Keep You Out Of Hell 

And Lack Of Prayer Will Keep You Out Of Heaven

Therefore, The Distance Between Heaven And Hell Is A Prayer! 

I Just Don't Know How He Does It! 

First He Frets My Spirit 

And Then Turns Around And Blesses My Soul! 

I Wish That I Could Hate Him But ...! 

... Yeah, I Know, But We All Love Him At The Same Time! 

Uh Huh! 

He Did It Again! 

Yup! 

Lesson Learned! 

Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: PRAYER: One Thing I Ask, Lord!

1 John 5:14 KJV

And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us:

PRAYER:

Dear Father, 

In The Name Of The Lord Jesus, I Ask A Boon! Please Help Me In All Things To Make You My Default Position! Help Me To Ever Seek And Hold You In My Heart As My Back-To-Base, Ignoring The Taunts Of Those Who Call Me And My Brethren "Christians!" As A Pejorative, An Insult! You've Told Us That The Day Will Come When We, Your People, Will Be Without Earthly Support And I Beseech You To Keep Your Promise, Not That You Need To Be Asked Since You Are The Promise-Keeping God, But Because I Need To Touch Your Hand, Your Heart, By My Word Of Faith In You And Your Almighty Power! Lord, We Need You, I Need You, And I Am Not Ashamed To Say It Or For Others To Know It! Father, Others Have Stood Up And Have Counted Themselves Resolute, Committed, Faithful To False Gods Which Neither See, Hear, Speak, Walk, Hold, Help, Or Heal And So, Today, Right Now, As In The Wedding Ceremony, In The Covenant Vows Before The Company Of Witnesses, I Pledge You My Troth And With Your Assistance, I Choose To Keep Myself Unto You Alone, Without Reservation While This Life Shall Last By Your Holy Spirit, The Comforter Of Us All, Who Leads Us Into All Truth! Father, I Have No Other God Save You, The True And Living God! I Have No Help But You, My Refuge And My Strength! I Have No Home Save Yours, Beulah Land, The Beautiful City, The Home Of The Faithful, Where Peace Dwells! I Am So Glad That My Lord Jesus Loves Me And I Am Glad That He Called Me From The Darkness Of Death Through Sin And Into His Marvelous Light Where Life Everlasting Is The Home Of The Soul! Lord, Lift Me Up! Help Me To Be Like Jeremiah To Say That Your Call, Your Will For My Life, Is Like A Fire Shut Up In My Bones! Be It The Altar Of Sacrifice Or Drawing The Plow To Break Up The Fallow Ground By Telling The Good News To Those For Whom The Lord Christ Died, Help Me To Serve Faithfully And With Patient Endurance No Matter The Cost! Help Me To Live My Life Uttering The Call And Basking In The Lover Of My Soul With The Immortal Words "Jesus Saves!" Please Grant Me My Request For I Ask It In My Gift Of A Portion Of Jesus Christ's Faith Which Cannot Fail! I Love You With My Whole Heart And, With Thankfulness And Gratitude, I Bless Your Holy Name For All Your Blessings On Me And The Brethren, And All Who Shall Be The Ultimate Inheritors Of Christ's Free To All Salvation! AMEN!!!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Moving Train Wreck!

Psalm 51:10 KJV

Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me. 

Colly!?! 

Yes, Binky! 

Colly, Have You Ever Seen A Moving Train-Wreck!?! 

Who Hasn't!?! 

We See Those Ever So Often On The Idiot Box! 

No, Colly! Not That Kind! 

I Didn't Know That There Was Any Other Kind, Binky! 

Well, Colly, My Friend, I Am Presently Watching A Moving Train-Wreck 

And When It Finally Hits The Restraining Wall

Somebody's Gizzard Goin' Splash Out 

And Their Guts Is Goin' Be Garters! 

Gracious, Binky, What Channel Is That On!?! 

Colly, You Ain't Listening Real Well! 

Pay Attention! 

If You Have Ever Had The Great Misfortune Of 

Having To Interact With Someone 

Who Takes Perverse Pleasure In Doing Evil

And You Have Been On The Receiving End Of 

Their Practiced Wickedness

And They Don't Seem To Care That 

There Are Witnesses To Their Machinations

And You Can Safely Project How Their "Adventure" 

Is Surely Going To End

Believe Me, It Will Cure You Of 

Ever Wanting To Be A Co-Laborer With Satan 

And Will Send You Running To The Safety That Is 

The Arms Of Our King Jesus! 

Merciful Powers! 

That Doesn't Sound Very Pleasant, Binky! 

It Wasn't And It Isn't! 

I Have Seen Some Things That Have Had Me Questioning 

If I Have Ever Had An Attitude, A Persona, Like That 

At Any Point In My Life For Even A Single Moment

And I Asked The Lord To Forgive Me 

If I Have Ever Been Like That! 

I Can Imagine, Binky! 

No, You Can't, Colly! 

Seeing Someone Behave Like That 

Is Like Watching A Snake Uncoil

Like Having A Bird's Eye View, A Drone View

And Watching A Car, A Truck, A Train 

About To Be Wrecked Big-Time 

And Knowing That There Is Absolutely Nothing That 

Anyone Can Do Avert It! 

It Makes You Sick To Your Stomach 

Unless You Are That Side-Winder, Satan

Who Encourages People To Sin Against Their Own Souls! 

Binky, You're Making My Skin Crawl 

Just Painting That Word-Picture For My Mind's Eye To Behold! 

What Are Doing About It!?! 

I Am Praying For That Person, For Myself

And For The Brethren

And For All Who Will Be The Ultimate Inheritors Of 

Almighty God's Free To All Salvation! 

Lord Jesus, 

Please Keep Us Near Your Cross 

Else We Will Never Escape The Disaster Up Ahead! 

Help Us To Pray Without Ceasing

And To Choose To Suffer Hurt Before We Will Ever Sin! 

Please Protect Us From The Evil One 

And Bless Us To Keep Our Savior First, Last, And Always 

In Our Thoughts, Words, And Deeds! 

AMEN!!! 

Help Us, Lord! Help Us! 

Grant Us Peace! 

https://youtu.be/qOFc5Ny8ohM?si=gVCyuH95urdIDoxa

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: What Say You!?!

Psalm 18:6 KJV

In my distress I called upon the LORD, and cried unto my God: he heard my voice out of his temple, and my cry came before him, even into his ears.

Pay Attention, People! 

I Called! 

He Heard! 

He Answered! 

I Know, I Know! 

Yes, Ophenni!?! 

Jesus Christ: He Answered, Answers, My Prayers! 

Very Good! 

How About This One: 

He Called! 

I Heard! 

I Answered! 

Yes, Bohrhaugh!?! 

Just Like Isaiah, I Answered The Call Of Christ ... Not Only To Salvation

But To His Service Field

To Tell Others The Good News That 

He Saves Us Because He Truly Loves Us! 

Well Said! 

Brethren, 

Have You Ever Truly Considered 

What Your Real Feelings Should Be 

As Regards Our Lord Jesus!?! 

Yes, Fraemup!?! 

I've Been Seriously Thinking On This Very Issue 

And I Have Concluded That 

Our Real Feelings For The Lord Should Be Like That Of A Small Child 

Wailing, Waiting, Inconsolable For Its Cherished, Beloved, Parent

Calling Their Name

Saying It With The Passion Born Of Deep Desire

Telling All Around Who Valiantly Have Tried

With Yoeman Service

To Distract That Lil' Boo-Boo From His Soul's Desire That 

It's All For Nought! 

Then, Suddenly, That Baby's Body Stiffens Differently

And The Wailing Stops

And Its Attention Orients Toward That Entryway

And It Becomes Excited, Euphoric

And Those Around Recognize, After The Fact, That 

Mummy, Daddy, Has Come Back! 

Baby Knows That In Those Arms, Is Home! 

AMEN!!! 

So, With That Being Said

What Are The Best Words You've Ever Heard!?! 

Come Home! 

Let's Go Home! 

We're Home! 

Jesus Died For What I Did! 

Come Now, Dinkus! It's Your Turn! 

What Do You Say!?! 

I Say That Jesus Did Not Die For What I Did! 

Blasphemy!!! 

No, khansi! 

Let Him Speak! 

Thank You! 

Jesus Christ Died For What I Am Doing! 

Please Explain That For Us, Dinkus! 

Okay! I Will! 

When We Look At Our Medical Record

It Says What Our Diagnosis, Diagnoses, Are, Were

And If Something Has Not Been Resolved

It Flags That Condition With A Green Highlight: ACTIVE! 

If We Are Still Alive

Our Propensity To Sin Is Still Active 

And In That Eventuality

Jesus Christ Died For What We Are Doing! 

Wow! I Like How You Are Thinking, Dinkus! 

Apostle Paul Said That He, Himself, Dies Daily! 

He Daily Dies 

So That He Would Not Sin Against His Lord And Savior 

And, With That Saying, He Proves Dinkus' Point! 

Nevertheless, Never Forget That 

We Can And Must Get Victory Over Sin 

I We Are To Hear Christ's Immortal Words To Us, His Saints: 

"Welcome Home, Children!" 

Good Session, Everybody! 

Let's Go To Our Earthly Homes Tonight With This Thought: 

"Be Ye Perfect Even As Your Father In Heaven Is Perfect!" 

... One Step At A Time

One Day At A Time! 

AMEN!!! 

Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: That Name!?!

Proverbs 27:15 KJV

A continual dropping in a very rainy day and a contentious woman are alike. 

Choni, Your Name Should Be Changed

No, Shall Be Changed From Henceforth To Shrew, Virago, Yenta

Or Better Yet, Termagent! 

If Our Lord Jesus, Our Savior, Our Forever Friend

The King Of Love, The Prince Of Peace, Were Here

You, In Ever High-Handed Fashion

Would Rail At Him And Criticize Him 

For Allowing You To Have A Clippable Hang-Nail 

Instead Of Praising Him For Saving You 

From Losing Your Right Leg To Gangrene! 

Have You No Shame!?! 

What Is It Going To Take For You To See 

With Those Eyes That The Lord Blessed You With!?! 

When Are You Going To Cease From Calling Out 

The Smallest Thing About Even The Dead 

And Acknowledge That You Are The Problem 

Always Behaving Like Rain That Is Neither A Soaking Shower 

Nor An Energizing Mist!?! 

You Are An Annoyance, Like Fingernails On Chalk-Board

And We Are Tired Of Your Bile Being Spewed Upon Us! 

Bottom Line, Choni, Either Come-To 

Or Make Your Presence Absent! 

Okay, Badgi! 

Excuse Me!?! 

I Said "Okay!" 

I Will Come To ... The Cross ...! 

... Just Like That!?! 

Yup, Just Like That! 

I Was Waiting To See ... Hear ... When One Of You Good Christians 

Was Going To Grow A Spine And Stand Up 

For The Clean Character Of Your Blessed Benefactor

Your Peace, Your King, Your Jesus! 

You All Talk Big About Holiness 

And 

The Meek And Gentle Spirit 

But 

You Tolerate A Whole Lot Ungodly Behavior 

Because 

You Don't Want To "Offend" Or "Alienate" Others! 

Shouldn't You Be More Concerned With Offending 

And 

Alienating The Eternal God!?! 

You Claim To Know The Truth That Sets All People Free 

But 

You Don't Draw Others Into The Fold Of Safety 

By Casting Your Light Upon Them 

Or Seasoning Their Bad-Tasting Behavior 

With The Salt Of The Earth 

Which You Are Called To Liberally Share! 

Now, My "Friends," 

Which Of Us Has More To Repent Of!?! 

Oh, Let Me Correct Myself: 

Shouldn't All Of Us Come To The Cross Of Christ 

Confessing Our Sin 

And 

With A Heartfelt Repentance 

Stop Acting Like Christians 

And 

Be Christ-Like Christians 

To This Dying-To-Be-Saved World!?! 

Good Gracious, Choni

I Can Feel My Face Burning With Shame! 

I Don't Know About Bruggadung, Wilma, And Pamela

But 

I Know That I Have Been Rebuked 

And 

In The Name Of Jesus

I Am Humbling Myself Under This Rod Of Correction! 

Hear, Hear! 

I Am Sorry, Choni! 

Thanks, Wilma! 

I Am Sorry, Choni! 

Me, Too! 

Thanks, Pamela And Bruggadung! 

In The Time Of Our Ignorance

The Lord Of Glory Winks

But 

With Knowledge Must Come The Change Of Behavior! 

Friends, Let Us Commit 

To Walking In The Truth Of Jesus Christ 

Which Has Been Given For Our Sanctification

Our Perfection Of Character

From This Day Forward! 

AMEN!!!! 

Thank You, Jesus! 

Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Jesus Christ Our Savior Cares!

Luke 24:17 KJV

And he said unto them, What manner of communications are these that ye have one to another, as ye walk, and are sad? 

You Are Sitting On A Train Heading For Home! 

You Have Some Papers On You Lap 

And Are Trying To Learn Something Important That 

Will Not Only Bless You 

But Will Most Assuredly Bless Another Person! 

The Learning Is Tough Going! 

Suddenly, Someone Sits Next To You 

And, Noticing Your Demeanor, Says: 

"I Notice That You Appear Confused! 

Are You Studying For An Exam!?! 

May I Help You!?!" 

You Say "Yes!" 

And The Stranger Looks At Your Textbook And Accumulated Papers 

And Then Confidently Asks You Pertinent Questions

Corrects Faulty Applications

And Then Tests Your Retention! 

At Your Station Stop, You Express Heartfelt Thanks 

For You Are Grateful And Feel Blessed! 

You Part Ways With The Stranger 

And Continue Your Journey With That Much Needed 

Confidence And Skill Boost! 

You Joyously Praise The Good Lord In Heaven! 

Beloved, 

This Is How It Is With Us As We Are On The Gospel Train 

While Heading To Catch The Only "To Glory" Train Home! 

Dear Ones, 

We Are Studying For The Greatest 

And Most Consequential Examination Of 

Our Short Event-Filled Lives! 

Most Aspects Of Our Test Prep Are Confusing 

Because 

Our Use Of Man-Made Applications 

To Answer Spiritual Problems 

Is 

Off-Base Until The Stranger From Galilee 

Sits Down Next To Us! 

Obviously Noticing Our Anxiety And Perplexity

He Politely And Oh, So Gently Asks: 

"May I Help You!?!" 

Our Lord Jesus Is Ever "The Gentleman" 

And 

Will Never Force His Attentions Upon Us! 

Brethren Greatly Beloved, 

We Need His Help, He Asks To Assist

We Say "Yes!", He Ably Assists Us In Every Domain

He Tests Our Acumen, We Pass The Trial

We Say "Thanks!"

We "Separate" 

And 

The Journey Continues

And 

We Do It Time And Again While Life Lasts

Or Until He Comes For Us In The Flesh 

And 

We Then See Him From Faith To Face To Face! 

We May Not Physically See The Lord Jesus Right Now 

But 

He Is Always There, Here, To Ably Assist Us! 

He May Not Obviously Sit Down Next To Us 

But 

We May Always, Always, In All Ways 

Call Upon Him And He Will Answer Us 

Because 

He Loves Us

And Died To Save Us

And 

Is Now In Heaven Interceding For Us 

Before Our Father 

In The Most Holy Place Of The Heavenly Sanctuary! 

Please, I Beseech Us All, Be Not Dismayed 

No Matter What The Adversary Of Souls

His Fallen Angels

Or His Deluded Human Agents 

Do To Cause Us Upset, Sorrow, Grief, Or Shame! 

None Of It Surprises Our Savior Dear 

Who Has One Thousand Ways 

As In An Infinite Number Of Ways To Save Us! 

We, At Any Given Moment, Only Need One! 

Beloved, 

Call On The Lord

Trust In The Lord

Walk With The Lord

And 

Live For The Lord

And 

At The Appointed Hour

Having Endured All For His Sake

You Will Live With The Lord In Beulah Land! 

For Your Love Of The Blessed Lord

Turn Away From Known Sin

And 

By Grace Through Faith 

Choose To Alienate Transgressions

And 

For Truth's Sake

Refuse To Permit Iniquity Aka Planned Sin To Know Life

And 

Keep To The Lord Who, Alone, Always Saves ... You! 

Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: What Were You Thinking When ...!?!

Psalm 139:17 KJV 

How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God! how great is the sum of them! 

Brethren, 

I Don't Know What We Are Thinking 

When We Allegedly "Slip Up" Up 

And 

Start Drifting Toward The Wild Side And On Into Backsliding 

With The Ill-Informed Belief That 

We Are Doing It Behind The All-Knowing God's Back! 

Are We Foolish Or Fools!?! 

Take Your Pick! 

Brother Bam, I Not Picking Either One 

Because Neither Of Those Personalities 

Will Darken A Gate To The Glorious City! 

Hear, Hear! 

                      AMEN!!! 

                                       Okay, Then! 

Beloved, 

I Desire That We All Think On This Thing: 

In This Vale Of Tears That We Call Earth

If The Authorities Had Your Brainwave Pattern

Your Iris Scan

Your Palm-Prints And Your Foot-Prints

Would You Be Able To Elude Detection 

In The Event You Committed A Crime!?! 

That's A Hard "N" To The "O!" 

You Telling Me! 

So, With That Said 

Why Would Any Of Us Who Are Obviously Drunk With Our Own Self-Importance

Which Is Not Worth A Piffle

Think That We Can Fool The All-Seeing God Who Is Ever Present!?! 

Beats Me! 

As You Said, Brother Bam

We Would Obviously Be Drunk 

And In A Disorderly State Of Mind! 

Okay, Then, Nomi! 

Let's Remember That Our Lord Is Not Mocked! 

What Are We Supposed To Do 

When We Have A Problem, A Situation, A Need

Or A Wayward Thought That Will Lead Us To An Inappropriate Action!?! 

We Should ... We Must ... Go Boldly To The Throne Of Grace To Obtain Mercy And Grace To Help In Our Time Of Need! 

Very Good, Paulie! 

We Are Now Getting Somewhere! 

You Make An Impressive Point! 

On Earth, Would You Get Into A Palace

Far Less The Throne Room Of A King 

Without Someone Apprehending You Or Shooting You Down 

Where They Sighted On You!?! 

Not A Chance! 

But, Yet, The Creator Of This Very Earth And The Whole Universe

The Almighty God Who Does Not Need Sentries Or Personal Body-Guards

And Who Is Himself A Consuming Fire

Invites You, Me, All Of Us Individually, To Come ... Boldly

To Just Walk Past His Ministering Spirits

His Angels Excelling In Strength

Like A Boss

And Stand, Knee, Bow, Lie Prostrate Before Him 

And

Let Your Request Be Made Known! 

True, Brother Bam

But You Left Out The Good Part! 

Nice Catch, Howlette! 

Would You Enlighten Our Darkness!?! 

I Don't Mind If I Do! 

Clean Or Dirty, Rabid Sinner Or Being-Sanctified Saint

We Are, By Special And Ever Open Invitation

Called To Get Into The Heavenly King's Throne Room 

By Our Heartfelt Prayers And Pleadings! 

AMEN!!! 

One More Thing, Everybody! 

Don't Forget To Go Back By The Same Prayerful Spirit 

And Give Him Thanks And Praise With A Grateful Heart! 

Preach It, Howlette! 

On That Note, Class Dismissed! 

Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: God's Provision!

Psalm 23:5 KJV

Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. 

The Lord God Almighty Does Not Know How 

Or What To Provide For Us 

To Sustain Or Maintain Our Lives! 

Blasphemy, Harcourt, Rank Blasphemy! 

Oh, Be Quiet, Minky! 

You Have Been Around Harcourt Long Enough In These Sessions 

To Know Better! 

You Should Know By Now That 

He's Going Somewhere With This! 

I'm Sorry, Harcourt! 

Apology Accepted, Minky! 

As I Was Saying

The Lord God Almighty Does Not Know How To Set A Table 

Or What To Place On That Table For Us, To Bless Us! 

We Read In The Scripture Of Truth That 

He Simply Set A Table And Provided The Meal, The Feast

For The Hebrews In The Desert Of All Places 

Without Bre'king Up Fractions! 

So What Does That Have To Do With Us!?! 

Well, Actually, Everything, Mingus! 

What Do You Mean, Harcourt!?! 

Aren't We In A Desert!?! 

What Desert!?! 

We Are In An Air-Conditioned Room! 

Don't Be Obtuse, Carly! 

We Are In The Desert Of Sin Aka Lawlessness 

Where Iniquity Aka Planned Sin Abounds! 

Where Sin Abounded Aka Was Rampant

Grace Does Even More Abound Aka Is More Abundant! 

Great Point, Gully Boar! 

The Hebrews Wanted To Know If The Lord 

Could Set A Table In The Desert! 

The Lord Set The Table In The Desert For Them! 

How Could ... Why Would They Think To Dare Ask Such A Question!?! 

I'm Sorry To Have To Say It

But 

That's What Happens When You Choose To Live Through Your Feelings 

And Not Through The Evidences Of Plain Truth 

As Found In Jesus Christ Aka The Word Of God, Patrice! 

Brethren, 

We Have The Sovereign Lord As Our Savior

The Savior As Our Provider,

And 

This Same  Provider As Our Sustainer! 

Brethren, 

Please Let Us Not Besmirch His Holy Name

His Character

By Diminishing His Ability, His Love For Us

By Looking At Our Desert 

And 

Ignoring His Presence With Us And 

The Provision Already Demonstrably Delivered By Our Deliverer! 

Our Lord Jesus Christ Is Able

Like Abel Who Did What Was Right! 

Jesus Christ Our Loving Lord Does Right By Us ... His Beloved 

... His Called ... 

His Chosen From Among! 

Never Forget It! 

AMEN!!! 

His Peace Is Upon Us!

 

https://youtu.be/ISO18SCs-80?si=ETGfWRBLgBserPV6

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Hide And Buy!?!

1 Corinthians 16:13 KJV

Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, quit you like men, be strong.

The Old Saw Says That You Can Hide And Buy Ground 

But 

You Cannot Hide And Reap It! 

Let's Ask Ourselves This Question: 

Since The Lord Jesus Did Not Hide 

To Buy Us Back From Death, The Grave

And 

Damnation And Hell

Why Would We Believe It Is Okay To "Serve" The Lord On The Down-Low 

And 

Live With The Great Expectation Of Receiving A Key To The Eternal Kingdom 

With The Public Acknowledgement!?! 

Beloved, 

The Lord Neither Had Nor Has Secret Prophets

Teachers, Healers, Preachers, Nor Servers! 

There Has Never Been Nor Will Ever Be 

Secret Saints Or Undercover Overcomers! 

Question Again: 

Why Would The Lord Ask His People To Be Very Courageous 

And 

To Be Strong In Him And In The Power Of His Might!?! 

Beloved, 

Nobody Needs Courage To Hide 

But 

Any And Everbody Needs Courage And Strength To Endure

To Stand Alone ... Exposed

In The Gleam Of Bright Light 

And 

Under The Venomous Stench Of The Hostile Glare

The Precursor Of Iniquitous Intent! 

Dear Ones, 

Our Lord Is The Great I AM! 

With Him Ever With Us And Always For Us

There Is No Need To Fear What Man Can Physically Do To Us! 

Let Us Bow Before Our Lord Jesus ... In Godly Fear 

In Awe Of Him Who Can And Will Give Us 

... Who Obediently Choose To Endure The Walk Through The Dark Valley ... 

The Blessing Of Entry Into His Marvelous Light 

With Bodies Like His Own! 

Brethren, 

We Shall See Him As He Is For We Will Be Like Him 

And 

Be A Part Of The Clan Called The Family Of God! 

So, Then, Dear Ones, Strengthen The Weak Knees 

And 

Lift Up Your Heads 

And 

Live Victorious Lives ... In Him And

For Him

For He Was And Is For You, For Me, For Us! 

Jesus Christ Saves! 

Peace!
