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!

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! 

https://youtu.be/lKSVCudYFxA?si=ucIr-ZvCUrBG3Pvr

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!

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!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Life In Christ!

Psalm 38:12 KJV

They also that seek after my life lay snares for me: and they that seek my hurt speak mischievous things, and imagine deceits all the day long.

The Devil Is The Liar 

And 

Those In His Employ Will Do All To Trip Us, Trap Us, And Terrorize Us 

If We Forget That The Lord Is For His People! 

Somebody With Nothing To Lose And Nothing To Gain 

Is 

Going To Dare Us To Go Against The Plain 

"Thus Saith The Lord!" 

Another Wicked One Who Despises 

Our Steadfast Love Of And Faithfulness To The Lord Christ 

Will Set Traps For Our Feet! 

And Still Another Will Play On What Things Are Known 

To Cause Humans To Tremble In Fear! 

Beloved, 

Christians Committed To Christ Are Made Of Sterner Stuff 

Because 

They Love The Lord

Trust His Word

And 

Have The Holy Spirit As Their Teacher 

Who Leads Them Into All Truth! 

Dear Ones, 

We Have A Plain "I Will Be With You Always!" 

To Envelop Us! 

We Have A Clear "Come Boldly To The Throne Of Grace!" 

To Draw Us! 

We Have An Unambiguous "They That Wait Upon The Lord 

Shall Renew Their Strength!" 

We Don't Need Strength To Sleep! 

We Need Strength To Struggle, To Fight

To Battle

And 

To Wage War Against Doubt, Despair

Sin, Self, And Satan! 

We Have Our Savior Who Has Won Us The Victory! 

Let Us Not Be Lax! 

Let Us Choose To Win Our Personal Battle Against Sin 

By Taking Our Daily Step To Christ! 

The Devil Is Damned: 

Let Your Sin Be On Him ... In Jesus Christ's Holy Name! 

Jesus Christ Is Our Everlasting Portion! 

I Bid You Jesus! 

Beloved, I Bid You Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Bold And Daring Confidence!?!

KJV Psalms 19:7, 11

7 The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple.

11 Moreover by them is thy servant warned: and in keeping of them there is great reward.

Oh, How We As Faithful Christians Love To Talk About 

Encourage Yourself 

... But ... 

We Seem To Have A Great Reluctance To Do 

A Deep Dive Into Examine Yourself! 

Come On! 

'Fess Up! 

Guilty Or Not Guilty!?! 

Alright, Alright! 

I Am Guilty As Charged! 

Beloved, 

Think On This Thing: 

Do You Have A Bold And Daring Confidence 

In The Goodness And Grace Of Our Lord And God 

But 

Are Playing Fast And Real Loose With Your Required Obedience 

To His Immutable Aka Unchanging As In Fixed For All Eternity Laws!?! 

Been There, Done That! 

I've Got The Scars And The Tee-Shirtsss As Memorial Proof! 

Dear Ones, 

In This Light, Should We Not Think Of 

The Biblical Characters Who, Brazenly Contemptuous Of The Love Of God

Threw Away The Eternal Life Of Peace 

To Hold A Sensual Piece Of 

Fading, Dying, Temporal Aka Earthly Life!?! 

Remember Achan, Prophet Balaam

King Saul

Nabal

King Ahab And Queen Jezebel

King Herod

And

Ananias And Sapphira! 

And 

Lest We Forget To Remember

Even Those Whose Sin Was Covered Because Of Their Heartfelt Repentance

The Consequence Of Their Confessed Sin Remained In Place 

And

Was Executed 

And 

Had Far-Reaching Impacts On Themselves

Their Families 

And 

Their Nations! 

King David, King Solomon

And 

King Manasseh 

Readily Come To Mind! 

Please, I Beseech Us All

Do Not Live As A Wizard Of ID 

Aka Wizard Of Intentionality And Deliberation 

To Commit Known Sin Willfully 

In The Presence Of The Eternal God! 

The Promise To Pay 

Aka Check Cashing And Check Kiting 

Are In The Domain Of King Fraud 

And 

Are Not Part Of The Law Of The Lord! 

Trust Dead And Bad-Pay Killed Him 

So Be Prepared With Cash 

Aka Skin To Bray Aka To Pay 

When Indulging In Deliberate Sinning 

Because 

You Shall Surely Not Be Winning! 

Brethren, 

Please Slow Yuh Roll

Freely Choose By Faith To Ignore The Wicked Bold 

And

With Wise Ways

Enduringly Follow The Lord Jesus Obediently 

To Receive Your Inheritance 

In The Kingdom Where The Streets Are Pure Gold! 

The King's Law Is Love! 

Peace!

With The Topic Of Climbing The Ladder To Glory

Apostle Paul And Aiming For The Prize Of The Upward Call 

And Not Looking Back To What Was

But Focusing On What Will Be! 

Strangely, Though, You Have Not Seen Fit 

To Associate Your Christianity With The Meaning Of 

The Name Of Your Workplace! 

Tommy, Please Pardon Me For Asking

But How Do These Two Things Correlate!?! 

It's Simple My Young Friends: 

Apostle Paul Is Seeking The Prize Of The Upward Call 

And

Excelsior Means "Ever Upward!" 

Lord, Have Mercy! 

He Will! 

You All Refuse To Listen When I Tell You To Read A Book 

And To Understand That Nothing Is As It Appears! 

Tommy, You Are Right! 

I Feel Real Silly Right Now! 

No Need, Bandy! 

You Finally Got It Straight! 

Remember This Though:

Man Can Never Outrun The Lessons Of The Living Word! 

I Hear That! 

Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Child Of God!

Galatians 3:26 KJV

For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus.

Do You Act In All Things As Yourself 

Or As A Human Being!?! 

How About As A Child Of God!?! 

Dodo, I Am A Human Be-ING 

And I Can Only Act As Myself! 

Hmm ... I Notice, Sharpie, That You Did Not Grant Recognition 

To The Child Of God Designation! 

Are You Not A Professing, Practicing

Child Of The Eternal Holy God!?! 

Well, Yes, But ...! 

Interesting! 

Brethren, 

We All Have This Very Problem! 

Talk About Yourself, Dodo! 

That Sounds Like A "You" Problem To Me! 

Carden, You Just Spectacularly Proved My Point! 

Wait! What!?! 

Brethren, 

Let Me Break It Down For All Of Us! 

We Are Human Beings! 

We Can Only Be Ourselves! 

We Call Almighty God Our Father 

Because 

We Went Down Into The Watery Grave Of Baptism 

Because 

We Accepted The Word Of The Lamb 

And 

Took Him As Our Savior 

By Our Confession And Heartfelt Repentance For Our Sins 

And 

We Came Up Out Of The Water 

Having Put On The New Man! 

Now Think Very, Very Carefully! 

Living In Or Better Said

With Christ Living In You By His Holy Spirit 

Who Leads Us Into All Truth 

Would It Not Be True To Say That 

You Are A Child Of God

A Regenerated Human Whose Sinful Self Is Daily Purged

Being Sanctified Aka Set Apart For Holy Use 

So That You Daily Choose To Let Your Default Position 

In All Matters Be: 

"Father, Ever Lead Me And Guide Me! 

Please Teach Me To Be True To You 

And To Be Pure In My Thoughts, Words, And Deeds

And Also Ever Show Me What I Should Do 

As Your Child With Full Inheritance Rights 

So That I Do Not Crucify My Dear Savior Afresh 

Bringing Him To An Open Shame!?!" 

Beloved, 

Be Cautious! 

In This Age Of "Do You!" 

And 

"My Truth!" 

We Are Being Again Beguiled To Taste

And For That Matter

Substantially Eat Of The Forbidden Fruit! 

Please, I Beseech Us All

Let Us Boldly Interrogate Our Profession

Our Practice

And 

Our Utilization Of Our Gifted Faith

And 

Decide Once And For All Time 

Who We Are Going To Trust

Honor, Worship, Follow, And Obey: 

The Rock Of Salvation, Jesus Christ Our Loving Lord 

Or

The Malevolent Side-Winder, Satan The Damned

Who Desires Our Destruction 

But 

Shows Us New, Different, Pretty, Loud, And Exciting 

Which Activates Our Hedonistic Traits! 

We, Each, Have Freewill And Freedom To Choose! 

Let Us Brazenly, Yet Humbly, Choose To Use Them 

In Jesus Christ's Name 

And 

For His Sake! 

Thank You, Dodo! 

I'm Glad That You Are Not The Bird! 

AMEN!!! 

Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: I Love The Lord Jesus!?!

Ecclesiastes 10:8 KJV

... Whoso breaketh an hedge, a serpent shall bite him. 

I Love The Lord Jesus! 

Do You!?! 

We Do! 

We Say That We Love The Lord Jesus 

So I Am Going To Boldly Ask 

"Why!?! 

What For!?! 

To What End!?!" 

We Can Both Say It Is Because He First Loved Us 

And

Out Of Reciprocal Obligation

We Have To Love Him Back 

Because 

It Is The Only Way To Get Into Our Father's House 

Aka The Mansions Of The Forever Blessed! 

Brethren, 

Is That Enough, Sufficient, Or Good Enough!?! 

Beloved, 

Let Us Take Thought 

And 

Break This Love Business, Love Affair, Love Pact Down! 

Neither Of Us Could Or Would 

Truly Love Someone Who Acts Entitled 

Nor Would Or Could Anyone Love Us 

If We Wore Entitled Man's Attire And Attitude! 

Now, Beloved, 

Besides The Already Stated Obvious Reason 

For Loving The Lord

I Love The Lord Because His Word Is Bond 

Be They Blessings Or Cursings 

To Include Loving Warnings And Gentle Corrections: 

His Delivery Service Unremittingly Works! 

Brethren, 

To Make This Personal

When My Son Was Growing Up And Under My Control

I Had One Hard And Fast Rule: 

If I Promised Him A Gift Or A Treat

I Delivered The Gift Or Treat, No Excuses! 

Conversely, If I Promised A Previously Advertised Punishment 

For Known Unacceptable Behavior 

Which Had Previously Been Warned Against And Corrected

I Delivered That Punishment As Warranted, No Exceptions! 

My Son Understood The Brief 

Because 

I Did Not Send Mixed Aka Muddled Signals! 

My Follow-Up And My Follow-Through Were A Given! 

Brethren, 

Our Blessed Jesus Gave Us Rules To Live And Love By 

And

He Was, Is, Abundantly Clear 

About The Costs Incurred And Benefits Provided 

For Doing, Or Ignoring Aka Rejecting His Word

His Will For Our Lives! 

Dear Ones, 

The One Thing That 

We May All Rest Easy About Is This Fact: 

"The Lord, The Same Yesterday, Today And Forever!" 

The Lord Does Not Turn On 

And

Leave On 

An Emergency Light In Our Lives Where None Exists 

As This Would Give Us Carte Blanche 

To Ignore His Command 

Even When A Real Emergency Occurs 

Which Would Be, Which Is, To Our Eternal Detriment! 

Great Is Our Lord's Love And Faithfulness To Us! 

Let Us, From This Moment On

Love Him By Our Willing And Unwavering Obedience 

By Keeping His Commandments Which Are Not Burdensome! 

Beloved, 

The Way Of The Lord ... The Commandments Of The Lord

Is Not 

An Hedge Of Thorns 

So Do Not Fear To Obey Him! 

Be Not Slothful! 

Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Wait!?!

Psalm 25:15 KJV

Mine eyes are ever toward the LORD; for he shall pluck my feet out of the net.

Would You Wait On Somebody That You Do Not Trust!?! 

No! 

Would You Have Faith In Somebody 

Whose Words You Do Not Believe!?! 

No! 

Would You Follow Somebody Who Has Shown You That 

They Are Faithless!?! 

No! 

Would You Park Your Life 

In The Climate-Controlled Garage Of Somebody 

Whose Motto, Mantra, Reason For Living 

... And Teaches You The Same ... 

Is 

"Do Whatever You Desire

To Whomever You Desire

For Whatever Reason You Desire

For However Long You Desire

Wherever And Whenever You Desire It!?!" 

Please Say "NO!" 

Brethren, 

That "Do Whatever ... !" 

Is 

The Word Of The Father Of Lies

Your Adversary The Devil

The Piercing Serpent

Who Desires Aka Who Craves 

Aka Who Is Greedy To Gain ... Your Destruction! 

That Unremitting Liar 

Is 

Bound For Unquenchable Fire! 

Beloved, 

Breathe Deeply To Calm Yourself 

And 

Lovingly Look At The Ten Commandments Of 

The Lord Our God 

And 

Notice The Obvious For Even The Blind Man: 

Four-Fifths Aka Eight Out Of Ten Commandments 

Bluntly Say To Us 

"NO!" 

"DON'T!" 

As In "THOU SHALT NOT!" 

This Is The Word Of The Consistent

Faithful, Trustworthy, God Of All Grace 

Whose Word Is The Truth! 

Follow Him! 

Remember, Remember, Don't Ever Forget That 

Always "YES!" Is Never Best 

So Take The "NO!" 

And 

Live In Jesus Christ's Glow! 

Only Our Lord Christ Helps, Heals, Saves And Seals: 

Please Cling To Him! 

Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Big Box Christianity!?!

Psalm 18:35 KJV

Thou hast also given me the shield of thy salvation: and thy right hand hath holden me up, and thy gentleness hath made me great. 

Damnation Is In My I's! 

Salvation Is In His Eyes! 

Are You A Greedy Person!?! 

I Was And Still Am

But For A Different Reason 

And Toward The Real God 

So It's Not Greed But Godly Longing 

Which I Know Will See Its Truest Fulfillment 

In The Great And Glorious Day! 

Do You Remember Big, Bigger, Biggest

The Three Boxes, No Marks

Just Size Differential 

And 

You Were Asked To Pick A Box, Any Box

And 

What Did You Do!?! 

You Went For The Biggest Box 

And 

Got A Big Box Filled With Paper 

And 

A Small, Cheap, Not Beautiful Toy That 

Broke Almost Immediately! 

The Person Who Went For The Mid-Sized Box 

Got Something A Little Bit Better

Not Spectacular ... But Better 

But

The Person Who Was Left The Only Option Called Why Bother

Opened It Gratefully

Glad To Get Anything At All

And 

Found That They Had Gotten The Brass Ring That Was Pure Gold

The Dirty-Looking, Crumpled Piece Of Paper That 

Was A Real Honest To Goodness $5.0And 

A Tightly Folded Invitation To The Tea Party

Paid For In Full! 

Wow! 

So Much For Having Big, Greedy, Covetous Eyes 

Always Looking I-Full 

But 

Getting The Awfuls! 

Beloved, 

That's Just How It Is With Our Lives! 

Boxes! 

However, Since We Consider Ourselves To Be Bright Sparks

Brilliant Sophisticates

The Road To Damnation ... The Biggest Box

Is 

Gaudily Wrapped, Heavy With Moon-Shot Promises

But 

Found In Reality 

To Be Cheap, Broken

A Costly Embarrassment For Us To Experience 

And 

The Laughing World To See! 

But 

Don't Lose Hope! 

Seeing Someone With A Grateful Heart Accept 

The Little Box Of Salvation

- The Grand And Glorious Gift - 

With Love And Gratitude 

Should Cause You, Me, Us To Do A Rethink

A Re-Evaluation

And 

Change Our Stinking Thinking! 

Will You Do It!?! 

I-Full Ain't A Belly Full 

So Don't Fill Up On Fumes! 

Dear Ones, 

Forget The Shadows Of Satan 

And 

Go For The Substance That Is Our Savior

And

Free Yourself From The Scourge That 

Is 

The Big Box Of Sin! 

Beloved, 

Please Accept The Unspeakable Gift Of Almighty God 

In Christ Jesus Our Loving Lord! 

Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: What Is It!?!

KJV Luke 11:13

13 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him?

Beloved, 

Truth Is Like Water And Wind! 

You Can't Live Without It ... Them! 

Truth, Water, And Wind Are For Hydration, Cooling, And Cleansing! Water Finds Its Own Level

Wind Will Find A Pin-Hole

And 

Truth Frees! 

Dear Ones, 

Whatever The Reason We Find Truth

We Will Always Be Impacted By It

Be It For Good Or Ill! 

Bottom Line ... 

We Live And We Lie And We Die 

But

Truth Can Never Lie Or Die 

Because 

Truth Is! 

Sin Finds Its Own Level! 

We Can Live Without Sin 

But

We Cannot Live Without Truth! 

Without Truth, Everything Created Ceases To Be! 

Sin Has A Shelf Life Aka A Use By Date 

And Because Truth Is Self-Evident

Sin Only Exists Because Of Obfuscation Aka Lies! 

Lies Cannot Stand In The Face Of Truth 

So It Attempts To Run Rings Around It 

But

Every Right-Thinking Person Well Knows That 

When One Runs In Rings Aka Circles Long Enough

The Circles Start To Wobble

And Then Get Smaller And Smaller 

Until The Ring-Maker Circle-Runner Runs Smack-Dab 

Into ... Inescapable ... Truth! 

Looka Dem Apples! 

People, People, Jesus Christ Is The Truth! 

He Made Us And Not We Ourselves! We Are His Twice, By Creation And Redemption

So Let Us Be Wise Unto Soul Salvation 

And

Let Us Shuck Ourselves Of Old Satan's Lies 

And 

Immerse Ourselves In The Truth By The Water And The Wind 

Both Of Which Are Symbols For The Holy Spirit Who Leads Us Into Truth 

... Unto Jesus Christ The Lord, Our King

Our Hope, Our Help

And

Our Sure Salvation! 

Ever Remember This, Dear Ones: 

Water Fills The Available Space

And 

Wind Enters The Opening You Give Or Make 

Aka The Holy Spirit Will Meet You Where You Are 

And 

Fill You And Help You To Get Rid Of Your Trash Called Sin 

Because 

You Desire It! 

Dear Lord, 

Please Let Your Fire, Your Holy Spirit, Fall Upon Us 

As We Pray And Trust In You Today! 

Lead Us Into All Truth As Is Your Will For Us! 

AMEN. 

Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Transformed!?!

Looking Up! 

Listening! 

Looking Forward! 

How Are You Standing!?! 

Where Are You Going!?! 

Who Are You Leading ... Or Misleading!?! 

Who Is Leading ... Or Misleading You!?! 

Beloved, 

Are You Being Transformed ... By The Renewing Of Your Mind!?! 

Who Is The Transformer In Your Life!?!

Is It The Spirit Of The Holy God 

Or That Of The Malevolent Spirit, Satan!?! 

What Are You Receiving!?! 

What Are You Conceiving!?! 

Who Are You Deceiving!?! 

Brethren, 

The Olde Expression Says That Talk Is Cheap 

But That It Takes Money To Buy Whiskey! 

It Also Says That We Do Not Pay Taxes On Our Words: 

Perhaps We Should Start! 

Brethren Beloved, 

Committed Christians Do Not Drink Whiskey 

Or Any Other Alcoholic Beverages 

And 

We Are To Guard Our Hearts Because Of The Fact That 

The Issues Of Life Causes Things To Come Out Of Us 

Which Defile Us! 

For What Are You Looking Up!?! 

To What Are You Intentionally Listening!?! 

To What, For Whom, And Why Are You Looking Forward!?! 

Will You, Will I, Will Anyone, Be Blessed And Benefitted!?! 

Will Faith, Hope, And Truth Matter!?! 

Will We Be Saved When Jesus Christ Comes!?! 

I Am Asking For A Friend

And

Enquiring Minds Desire To Know! 

Let Us Dig Deep For Real Answers! 

Peace! 

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Love Is Not Idolatrous Sensationalistic Emotionalism!

KJV John 14:21

21 He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.

He Had His Foot On The Brake

And 

I Had My Foot On The Gas

And 

It Didn't Take Rocket Science For Me To Realize That 

I Was Going Nowhere Real Fast! 

Very Soon I Was Glad 

For It Became Evident That Without His Asked-For Intervention

I Would Have Been Wearing, At The Very Least

A Personalized Body-Cast! 

Thank You, Lord Jesus, For The Save, For The Love! 

Time Changed! 

I Had Had My Foot On The Brake 

But 

He Escorted My Foot To The Gas 

And 

I Soon Came To Realize That 

I Was The One Who Had Asked, Again

For His Intervention, Again

And 

Had Harkened Aka Listened To And Done What He Had Asked 

Which Was "Be Very Courageous: Press On To Victory!" 

Brethren, Beloved, 

How Often Have We Acted Craven Aka Cowardly 

When The Plain Voice Of The Eternal God Said: 

"Be Brave! I AM With You!?!" 

How Often Have We Lion-Heartedly Roared 

And 

Enthusiastically Run Into Inevitable Disaster 

When The Good Lord Had Said: "Stand Still!?!" 

Are You Seeing The Pattern!?! 

The Lord Said: "Stop!" AND We Went! 

The Lord Said: "Go!" AND We Planted Our Feet In Quikrete Mortar Mix 

And 

Became Statues Of Willful Disobedience! 

Dear Ones, 

Be Very, Very, Careful! 

The Lord Jesus Made It Plain When He Said That 

Our Obedience Is The Mark Of Our Love For Him! 

Plainly Put, 

Love Is Demonstrated! 

It Is Not Idolatrous Sensationalistic Emotionalism! 

Beloved, 

Look Around! 

We Don't Naturally STOP At GO Signs 

And 

We Don't Naturally GO At STOP Signs: 

Consequences Apply! 

Let's Think On These Things 

And 

Pray For The ... Our ... Good Lord To Help Us 

To Do As He Commands 

No Matter The Earthly Cost 

Because 

Heaven With Our Blessed Lord Jesus Awaits ... For Love Demonstrated! 

Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Which Words!?!

KJV Psalms 39:1

1 I said, I will take heed to my ways, that I sin not with my tongue: I will keep my mouth with a bridle, while the wicked is before me.

Words Have Consequences 

For The Rich And For The Poor

For The Knocker At The Front Gate 

And 

The Opener Of The Inside Door!

People, Don't Blink! 

Think! 

Brethren Beloved, 

Achan's Confession Of His Delight In The Babylonish Garment 

And 

For Silver And Gold 

Led To His Excommunication 

And 

Stoning To Death And Burning On The Desert Floor! 

General Moses' Misspoken Words By Anger

Asking The People If He And Aaron Were To Give Them Water 

Instead Of Glorifying The Faithful Holy God

Led To Them Being Excluded From Entering The Promised Land! 

Think Also Of Nabal 

Who Rejected David's Request For Sustenance By Asking 

Who Is David

The Very One Whose Guardianship Of His Flocks 

Guaranteed Nabal's Prosperity

Shows Us The Subsequent Deadly Cost Of 

Misplaced Aggression

Arrogance

And 

Knowing Base Ingratitude! 

Dear Ones, 

I Bid Us All To Speak Quietly 

And 

Tread Softly In The Presence Of The Lord! 

In Sewing, We Are Instructed To Measure Twice 

Before Cutting The Fabric Once! 

The Lord Tells Us That We Who Love The Tongue 

Shall Eat The Fruit Thereof 

So Be Very Careful What You Say 

Because 

Both Wise And Unwise Words Are A Heavy Weight! 

Judas Iscariot Asked Of The Jewish Leaders: 

"How Much Will You Give Me!?!" 

To Betray Our Lord Jesus! 

Jesus Christ Said To His Father: 

"Not My Will, But Thy Will Be Done!" 

Will Your Words To Our Blessed Jesus Be: 

"Lord, I Willingly Follow Thee No Matter The Cost!" 

Even Though You Understand That 

The World Will Savage You!?! 

Weigh What To Speak On The Way To Speak! 

Peace! 

https://youtu.be/JPz-6SfrIoU?si=FGxVuNnf6DLH5WXF

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: TRUTH Can Handle Questioning!

KJV Job 13:3

3 Surely I would speak to the Almighty, and I desire to reason with God.

The Truth Has Nothing To Fear From Being Questioned! 

True Or False!?! 

Jesus Christ, Our Only King, Said: 

"I Am The Truth!" 

He Also Said: 

"Come Let Us Reason Together!" 

And He Also Said: 

"Ask!" 

Ergo Aka Therefore

The Truth Aka Jesus Christ Our Lord 

Has Nothing To Fear 

From Being Questioned By Us Creatures Of Fallible Flesh

Of "Daintified" Dust! 

Beloved, 

Our Lord Jesus Is All-Knowing 

So It Is Impossible For Us To Stump Our Creator 

With One Of Our "Imponderables!" 

Think About It: 

Can You Come Up With Such An Off-The-Wall Question For Our Maker/Master

Who Is Also All-Seeing And Ever-Present

That He Will Have To Snap His Fingers And Say To You ... In Resignation: 

"Oh, My Stars! 

You Really Got Me With That Question!" 

Wouldn't That Scenario Cause You To Become God

And 

Able To Create Your Own Reality

Problems Absent

Answers Evident!?! 

Dear Ones, 

We Are So Full Of Stuff And Nonsense That 

We Are Behaving Like Rank Idolaters! 

We Make God 

And 

We MAKE God Go! 

I Cry: 

"Remanufactured Hay!" 

Brethren, 

Be Wise For Your Own Self! 

Our Lord Is Real! 

His Wisdom Is Everlasting 

And 

He, His Truth, Endureth To All Generations! 

Please Dare And Try Almighty God ... By Faith! 

Remember, He Knows Your Question 

And Your Need

And Your Desire

And Your Hope

And Your Hurt

And Your Health

And Your Sorrow

And Your Joy

And Whether You Truly Believe That He Is Real 

And That He Loves You Personally And Intimately

And Intentionally

And Eternally! 

Please Get A Grip On Saving Grace

Tighten Your Heretofore Loose Lip

And 

Let Your Question ... By Unfailing Faith ... For Our Sovereign Lord, Rip! 

Peace!
