What's The Big Deal!?!
I, Ah, Umm, ...!
What's The Problem!?!
You Were Very Chatty Before!
Cat Got Your Tongue!?!
Mum, It's Like, Well, This:
My Friends Say ...!
... Your "Friends" Say!?!
Are You Trying To Tell Me That
You Fear Your Friends' Word
Over The Living Word Of The Eternal God!?!
No, Ma'am!
That's Good
Because I'm Sure You Know The Proverb:
Yes, Ma'am!
Can Your Friends Keep You Alive!?!
Can Your Friends Feed You!?!
Can They Protect You From Satan And His Minions!?!
Can They Bless You With Everlasting Life!?!
Can They Give You Perfect Peace!?!
Can They Cause You To Rest Easy
In The Midst Of Daily Trials!?!
It Does Not Mean To Be Afraid
But
To Honor And Reverence Him
And
Give Him His Due
His Praise
His Worship
Our Obedience
And
Our Trust
With Awe
With Respect And Willingness!
He Is Worthy Of Our Praise!
I Remember Well
When You Were Younger
How Involved You Were In The Activities
And
How You Used To Behave In Church!
Worshipping The Lord Was Important To You!
I Pray That It Still Is!
Oh, Mum!
I Really Used To Enjoy Going To Service
And Worshiping, Exalting, The Lord!
Do You Know That
Obedience Is The Highest Form Of Worship!
Do You Remember At The Start Of Divine Service
How Every One Stood Up
And
With Real Joy In The Lord
Recited The Fourth Commandment!?!
Yes, Mam!
It Was Really, Truly, Lovely!
I Guess, I Just Forgot ...!
... Aren't You Supposed To Remember!?!
I Love You, Sweetheart
And I Sincerely Pray That
You Will Take This Burden You Are Carrying
To Our Lord In Prayer!
Remember, Sweetie!
I Love You
But
The Lord Loves You Best!
He Cares Sacrificially For You!
Thank You, Mum!
I Love You!
I Guess I Really Needed To Hear That ... Today!
It's Just Another Day!
Just Another Day!?!
The Sabbath Is Not
Neither Can It Ever Be
Just Another Day!
Whatever!
Just A Moment, Young Lady!
You And I Are Going To Have
A Coming-To-Jesus Meeting!
You Have A Very Rude Attitude
And
I Really Don't Care For
Your Sarcastic Tone Of Voice!
Sit Down!
Yes, Mam!
You Know Better!
You Know That The Seventh Day
Is
The Sabbath Of The Lord!
It's Neither My Day Nor Your Day!
You Well Know That
The Seventh-Day Sabbath
Aka Saturday
Is
The Day Of Rest
The Day Of Joy And Gladness
And
Not A Day For Going To The Mall
For Going Partying
For Cleaning Your Room
For Prepping And Cooking Large Meals
Nor For Doing Those Things That
Take Your Mind Away From
Communing With The Lord Christ!
You Know Very Well That
The Sabbath
Is
The Memorial Of Creation
A Time For Us To Think On
And
Worship
And
Bless
And
Praise The Lord God Almighty
For His Unspeakable Gifts!
When I Give You Something
What Do You Say!?!
I Say, "Thank You For Your Kindness!"
And "I Love You!"
So Do You Not Think That
The One Day The Lord Asks Us
To Remember Him
And
His Moment-By-Moment Blessings Upon Us
Should Be The Day We Look Forward To
And
Should Be The Easiest Thing For Us To Acknowledge
And
Accept
And
Do As He Asks
And
To Say To Our Maker
Our God
Our King
Our Hope
Our Help
Our Provider
Our Sustainer
Our Peace
Our Rest
Our Shepherd
Our Teacher
Our Salvation
Our Judge
Our Redeemer
Our One True Friend
"I Love You, Lord!"
I Dearly Remember And Think On You!
I Bless You For Your Blessings Showered Upon Me!
I Am Drawing Near To You Today With Pleasure!
I Offer You My Prayers And My Praise Willingly!
I Worship You Who Gives Unto Me
Unfeigned Love
Untold Blessing ... Seen And Unseen
Known And Unknown
And
Length Of Days ... Protected
In Your Safe And Sheltered Fold!?!"
I, Ah, Umm, ...!

Mum, Those People At Church
Are A Bunch Of Hypocrites!
There's Always Room For One More!
Listen To Me Young Lady:
The Church Is An Hospital!
It Is A Place For People
- Damaged People -
To Congregate
To Study
To Be Taught
To Praise And Worship
To Learn To Get Along With Those
We Hope To Spend Eternity With
And
Get To Know More About
Him Who Is Our Only Salvation!

Let Not Your Prayers
And
Your Worship
Become An Abomination
Before The Almighty God
Because
You Offered Them Begrudgingly
And
Selfishly!
