Walk The Talk The Walk!

 

The Perfect Love That Our Dear Savior Has For Us 

Will Never Allow Him To Overlook Our Sin 

And 

Permit Us To Indulge In Selfishness And Unkindness! 

Our Growing Love For Our Dear Savior 

Will Never Permit Us To Willingly Practice Sin 

And 

Be Participants In Acts Which Are Decidedly Unholy 

And 

A Straight Departure From His Divine Character Of Grace

Mercy, Goodness, Truth, Gentleness, Kindness

And 

Righteousness! 

Beloved, 

"Christian" Talk Is Cheap! 

Wearing A Christian's Garb 

Is 

Cheap And Convenient! 

"Speaking" The Christian's Language 

By Repeating Buzz-Words 

Does Not Give One Agility 

Or Facility To Treat To The Unexpected 

Or The Unfamiliar 

Or The Curve-Ball Of Catastrophe! 

We Have To Walk The Talk The Walk!

The Lord's Commitment To Our Growth Through Grace 

And 

Our Commitment To Him Through Willing Obedience 

And

The Bold, Even Aggressive, Exercise Of 

Our Daily Gift Of His Faith 

Requires Us To Walk In Accord With His Will 

And 

His Ways 

And

Under His Billowing Banner Of 

Living, Unchanging, Truth! 

Self-Deception Leads To Self-Destruction 

But 

Loving The Living Truth Leads To The Light That 

Is 

The Life Of Every Man! 

We Can't Be Dirty In The Dark! 

Jesus Christ 

Is 

The Lover Of Your Soul 

And

It Is By Him, Alone, That You Are Remade 

To Stand Clean Before The Great White Throne! 

Hold On To Your Blessings: 

Live In ... Live For ... Live Through ... The Truth! 

Peace!

LET YOUR SLEEP BE SWEET: Ears Are Not Cosmetic!

All Who Are Not Deaf Can Hear! 

All Who Are Attentive Will Listen To Understand! 

All Who Are Obedient 

Because 

Of Faith 

And 

Trust In Jesus Christ The Lord 

Will Regard Aka Give Heed To The Instructions Given 

And 

Walk Wisely In The Sight Of The Lord! 

Beloved, 

Liars Have To Play Hide And Seek With Memory 

To Always Remember Their Latest Fiction! 

Thieves Always Invest In Metal Bars, Locks And Bolts 

But

The Righteous, The Honest

The True To Almighty God

Speak Truth

Do Right

Are Loving, Kind, Giving

Given To Hospitality

And 

Have That Meek And Gentle Spirit 

Against Which There Is No Law! 

Along With That

Because 

The Lord Of Life

The King Of Glory

The Good Shepherd

Is 

Their Guardian, Guide And Protection

Their Sleep Is Sweet

Their Heart Is At Rest

Their Thoughts Are In And Of Heaven 

And

All Is Well In Their World 

Even Though The Earth Is Heaving

And 

The Sky Is Falling! 

We Are Blessed, Sheltered, Provided For 

And 

Protected 

When We Trust In Our Lord With All Our Strength 

And 

Walk Enduringly ... Faithfully

In The Will Of Our Father 

Who Is On His Great White Throne In Heaven! 

Let Us Be Truly Wise

Even Unto The Saving Of Our Soul

And

Let Us Entrust The Care 

And 

Keeping Of Our Hearts To God 

So That All Is Well With Our Souls! 

Perfect Love Casts Out Fear: 

Love The Lord Wholly!

STOP SHOWING YOUR GOAT-PARTS: Don't Compromise Truth!

Why Settle For Cheap, Temporary Infatuation 

When You Can Bask, Bathe, In Everlasting Love

Blessed, Proved, Sure, Secure!?!

Why Accept A Pound Of Gold 

When You Can Have Streets Of Gold

A Home Built On Twelve Foundations Of Stones Most Precious 

And 

The Love Of The Pure And Holy Heart Of Him Who Died 

To Give Us His Everlasting Life!?! 

Beloved, 

Be Honest And Believe That You Are Personally Blessed! 

Be Faithful 

And 

Remember All The Times When Hope Was Gone

Despair Was Raging 

And 

All That Was Left In Your Head Was The Word Of Love:

"The Lord Is My Shepherd

A Stronghold In Time Of Trouble

My Hope, Help And Salvation 

My Refuge And My Strength!"

 

You Heard The Voice Of Jesus Saying:

"Come Unto Me And Rest!" 

And 

You Did! 

You Rested 

And 

You Were Refreshed! 

You Touched Love

Felt Love 

And

Returned Love

And

Embraced Perfect Peace! 

Jesus Christ, Alone, Saves: 

Don't Cheat! 

Jesus Christ Loves You

Individually, Personally ... Passionately: 

Don't Compromise Truth

And

Stop Showing Your Goat Parts! 

Stop Butting! 

Stop Bleating About 

But, Can't

If, Why

When, Where And How 

And

Start Enjoying ... Really Enjoying

The Perfect Love That Won't Let You Go 

And 

The Loving-Kindness That Won't Fail You ... Ever!

 

There Is No Peace

Without

Christ Jesus!

HAPPY SABBATH + Scrubbing Brushes, Chisels, Hammers, Cross-Cut And Rip-Cut Saws And Sand-Paper!

The Lord Our God 

Does Not Make Idle Promises About 

Neither Sin Nor Salvation

Blessing Nor Rebuke

Heaven Nor Hell

And 

We Of The Household Of Faith 

Must Not Minimize Or Place A Gloss Over 

The Plain Word That 

Proceeds From The Mouth Of The Almighty God 

By Indulging Doubt, Disbelief 

And 

Disobedience! 

Let's Consider A Baby! 

A Baby Knows The Voice

The Taste

The Touch

The Smell 

And 

The Rhythm Of The Heart Of Its Mother

And 

In The Chaos Of The Noisy World 

Or Its Own Household

Baby Will Seek For 

And 

Find Care, Comfort, Rest

Refreshing 

And 

Peace 

In Its Mother's Arms! 

So, With That Said

What's Our Problem!?! 

The Lord Our God 

Is 

Our Creator 

Aka Father And Mother 

Who Cannot Forget Us 

Because 

Of The Richness Of His Infinite Grace

And 

Eternal Love! 

Jesus Christ's Innocent, Precious, Blood 

Purchased Our Redemption 

And 

We Are Called To Saving Faith 

- By His Daily Gift To Each Of Us Of 

A Measure Of His Faith -

By The Plain Truth 

To Willingly, Eagerly, Wholly,  Trust 

The Holy God Of Grace 

To Get Us Safely Home To Unending Glory! 

This World 

Is Not 

Our Forever Home

And

Our Problems Are But Scrubbing Brushes

Chisels, Hammers

Cross-Cut And Rip-Cut Saws And Sand-Paper:

We Must Be Clean And Righteous Before Our Lord ... The Judge!

Beloved, 

We Have Free Will And Free Choice

So Let Us ... As Children Of The Great King

Choose To Walk In Enduring Faith 

And 

By Almighty God's Great Grace

Do Not Deny His Personally-Shown

Perfect Love For You!

The Lord Cannot Forget

His Very Own

Greatly-Beloved Children!

Book-It ...

 

Walking In The Truth Brings Peace: 

Be Comforted In Christ Jesus

Shiloh

The Prince Of Peace

Who Is Our Haven Of Rest!

Rejoice In The Lord ... Of Life!

Choices, Chances, Changes!

Teach The Living Word To Others 

And 

Better Learning Of The Word For Yourself 
Is 

The Result! 

Those Who Live By The Faith Of Jesus 
Cause Their Gift Of Faith To Be Seated Deeper 

And 

Take Up More Space In Their Lives: 
What We Use Grows
And 

What We Refuse We Lose! 

We Can't Have Faith Unless We Believe That He Is Real
And
We Can't Please The Lord Without Working Our Faith!

Beloved, 

Life With The Lord Christ 
Is Not 
Complicated! 

He Has Made It Plain: 

We Will Be Hated By Evil People For His Sake: 

We Will Be Rewarded By Almighty God ... By Christ Himself

Who Is Bringing His Rewards With Him 
For Our Total Faithfulness To Him! 

Question Is ...

Will We Be Traitors ... To Our Creator And Savior 

To Achieve Temporary Peace With His Enemies 

Or 

Will We Be Loyal To Him For Life

Live In His Perfect Love

Endure The Temporary Hate

And 

Live With Him In Eternal Peace 
At The Time Of His Appointing!?! 

Choices, Chances, Changes ...

Loving God 

Is 

A Personal, Private, Heart-Engaged Decision! 

If We Desire To Live With The Lord Christ

We Must Live Like Jesus Christ Did 
When He Walked Amongst Us! 

Perfection Is Our Goal

So Remember That 

We Come To The Lord Dirty 

But

We Cannot Remain That Way! 

Our Lives, Loves, Attitudes, Desires 
And 
Decision-Making  

Must Change! 

Faith In Jesus Christ The King

Is 

Our Firm Foundation 

And 

Love For Him 

And 

Obedience To Him 

Is 

The Cement That Keeps It All Together! 

Jesus Always Saves: 

Trust Him And Be Truly Blessed! 

Let's Make Peace With Our Father Who Is In Heaven! 

The Bald Question!

The Banner Of The Lord Over His People 
Is 
Love ... The Holy Love Of The Eternal God: 
Love Prospers In Truth! 

The Question That Needs To Be Baldly Asked 
And 
Honestly Answered Is: 

Are We ... As Committed Christians

Living In Perfect Love 

And

Absolute Truth

As They Proceed

From The Heart Of Our God 

Who, Himself, Is Love And Truth!?! 

Will You Take Your Personal Stand For Living Truth 
And Live By, Stand On, And Die For Perfect Love!?! 

Is Your Love Situational ... Conditional!?! 

Is Truth, For You, Transactional ... Negotiable!?!

Will Your Life Stand "The Sniff Test" Before The Judge Of All Flesh!?! 

Beloved, 

Let's Think Long And Hard 
Not About What We Must Give Up 
But 
About What We Need To Hold Near And Dear 
If 
Our Heart's Desire 
Is 
Heaven At The Last Trumpet! 

There Is No Love Without Truth 
So Let Us Know It
Tell It
Live It
Share It
Walk In It 
And, Yes
If Needs Be
Die For The Truth! 

Jesus Christ 
Is
The Truth 
And
The Love Of Almighty God Exemplified 
Aka Personified ... Made Real 
And 
No One Gets Into The Father's House Without Jesus 
... The Character Of Jesus ... 
Without The Love Of God
Without The Truth! 

Heaven! 
Hell! 
Where Are You Headed!?! 

How Much Preferred Stock

Do You Have In Saving Truth 

And 

Heavenly Love!?! 

PRESENT TRUTH: The Commandments Of Almighty God

The Commandments ... The Word Of God
The Always Present Present-Truth 
For This Age In Which We Live
Are A Firm Foundation For Our Feet
An Unbreachable Roof Over Our Heads
And 
A Hedge Of Protection Around Us 
From Our Known-Rabid Enemy! 

Our Jesus Christ ... The Living Of God
Is 
Not A Mercenary For Hire In A Foreign Legion
- Off To Make His Fortune 
Off The Blood And Guts Of Our Enemies - 
Who Tried And Failed To Overcome! 

Our Jesus ... Our Champion
Is 
God Almighty, King Forever
Conqueror ... Battle-Scarred: Victorious! 
He Has Given To Us His Unfailing Word To Read 
And 
Believe
To Trust ... And Daily Use As Our Defence! 

"Thus Saith The Lord...!" 
Is 
The Word For Our Own Blessing 
And
The Curse 
To Heap Upon The Damned-For-Eternity Head Of Satan
Our Published Enemy! 

Beloved, 

Cheer Your Heart With A Song Of Zion
And 
Bless Your Life By Knowing 
The Eternal Word Of Truth That Always Saves! 

Hide The Word ... Hide Jesus, In Your Heart 
And 
Live Safely As A Saint Of God 
In His Perfect Love Which Casts Out Fear! 
Be Faithful ... And Be At Peace!

Satan Is The Liar

The Father Of Truth-Reversed!

His Words Are Filled

With The Poison Called Known-Sin

And

All Who Follow Him

End Up Being Blighted And Cursed!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: The Great Motivators!

The Conference Is In Session

And

The Great Motivators Themselves Are There:

 Fear Is There For The Clan Of Live Evil

And

Perfect Love Is There For The Clan Of The Good Shepherd

He To Whom His People Are Dear!

You Should Know That That Conference

Is 
Attended For Two Reasons:

One To Rescue
And

One To Destroy 

And

All The Attendees Employ 
The Methods Of Their Respective Leaders

And

Do It For Love And With Joy!

The Clan Of Live Evil

Live To Do Evil

To Be Vile

And

To Cause Unimaginable Pain!

To Instill Fear In Others

Is 
Their Reason For Being

And

Every Day They Swear That

No One That They Put Their Claws Into

Will Be Getting Away!

Vain Words Is What I Call Them

Because

Perfect Love Always Casts Out Fear

Who Dares To Try To Steal Man's Hope

Leaving Him Naked

And

Without Any Way In His Life

With Things To Cope!

Perfect Love

Is
Born Of The Shepherd Of Rest

The Savior Of Man

The Son Of Almighty God Begotten

The Redeemer

Who From Satan's Temptations 

Gave No Quarter

And

In Fear

From Him Did Not Run!

The Good Shepherd

The Savior

The Redeemer 

The Forever Friend

Loves Sacrificially

And

Leaves No Loose Ends

For One To Trip Over

Or To Become Entangled

Or To Become Frayed

Causing One To Be A Castaway!

He, Being Ever Obedient 

Doing What Does His Father Please

Engenders In His People's Heart

The Comfort That Brings To The Human Spirit 

- From The Sweet Spirit Of Truth -

What Gives Ease And Relief, And Release!

By Contrast
Fear Brings Up The Past

Denies The Present
And

Rejects The Future!

Fear Undermines

Redefines
And

Maliciously Crosses Solid Yellow Lines! 

Fear Contradicts

Castigates
And

Thoroughly Humiliates!

Fear Wonders

Worries

Wanders
And

Vindictively Wastes!

Fear Does Not Know How Perfect Loves Tastes

Until The Soul ... Thoroughly Oppressed
And
Expressing Need Of Salvation
Opens Up Their Heart
And

Perfect Love ... Naked

Unashamed

Unafraid

Unerringly Extends That Gentle Hand
Providing Sure Healing

Compliments Of The Son Of God

Compliments The Soon-Returning To Earth

Son Of Man!

Perfect Love Heals Hurts!

He Soothes Sorrows!
He Makes Human Hearts Glad!

He Gives Help For Today 

And

Graciously Provides Hope For Tomorrow!

Perfect Love Gives Energy Like The Shining Sun!

He Gives Calm Like The Glow Of A Harvest Moon!

He Gives Continual Sparks Of Joy Like The Twinkling Star

And

From His Hand Of Help

One Is Never, Ever, Far!

You Hurt!?! 

He Hurts!

You Cry!?!

He Cries!

You Lie!?!

He Doesn't 

Because

His Heart Is Pure

And

Against Every Known, Practiced
Promulgated, Putrid, Sin 
He Is The Cure

And

That Is Why The Clan Of Evil Hates Him!

To Escape Them

He Is The Only Door!

Every Day Is A Conference!

Every Day Provides Another Opportunity Of Escape!

The Clan Of Evil Cares Not For Those Whom They Overcome:

They're More Interested That Prince Shiloh
The Good Shepherd

Should Not Have A Victory!

No! Not One! 
His Presence Relieves Them Of Their Fun!

Brethren,

The Good Shepherd Gives Good Gifts To Men!
The Gifts Are Free
And
On His Strong Arm
We May All With Assurance Depend
So Do Not Be A Merchandising Snob
And
Deny That Anything Gotten For Free Is A Waste
Because
This Is One Freeness That
All Mankind Should Seek To Apprehend
To Take
To Taste!
It Cost Jesus Christ His Blood!

We All Have Personal Choices To Make
And
The Choice Between Perfect Love
And
Fear
Must Be By Self Made!

Fear Will Tie You Up In Gordian Knots
But
The Sword Of Perfect Love
Will Free You
With One Clean And Clear Chop!

Be Wise

Unto Your Own Soul's Salvation

And

Give Satan

And

His Decimating Fear

The Grace Of Almighty God Blot!

HAPPY SABBATH + So, What: Lover Of Sin!?!

Don't Understand
Don't See
Don't Care
And
So What
Are Discussing The Issue Of Sin
And
They Were Each Taking The Popular Positions
Beloved Of The Sin-Loving
Discipline-Despising
Christian Character-Minimizing
Self-Aggrandizing Populace
Who Are All Professionally Diagnosed With "I" Problems!

They Had Just Told Off It's A Lost Cause
Who Had Adamantly Declared That
Being A Lover Of Sin Was A Lost Cause
Because
The Lover Of Sin Would Be Lost To The Lord Christ 

Because 
His Cherished Cause Will Never Be Found
Ever. Again.
In The Heavenly Realm!

For The Record ...

These Are The Positions Held 

And

Boisterously Stated:

Don't Understand Doesn't Understand Why Sin Is A Problem!

Don't See Doesn't See Sin As A Problem!

Don't Care Doesn't Care Who Has A Sin Problem!

And

So What, Unphased By The Displays Of Emotion, Said:

So, What!?! We're All Gonna Die Anyway!

The Bases Are LOAAAADED!!

Converted Christian Is Pitching: 

• Sin Is The Transgression Of God's Law
• Sinners Need Salvation
• Jesus Christ Saves
• Almighty God's Mercy Is Free
• Confession Of Sin Relieves The Heavy Load
• Repentance Is Good For The Riven Soul

So What Is Royally Ticked Off

By The "Sermonette"
And
Tries To Dig Out Converted Christian's Cleansed Eyes!

Converted Christian
Shielded By Grace
Enclosed By Faith

And
Made Prosperous By Mercy, Responded:

True Prosperity Depends On Piety!

Suddenly,
Marvellous Grace Entered The Fray
And
Like A Thunder-Bolt, Proclaimed:

Our God Is A Consuming Fire

And No Sinner Unrepentant

Can Survive In His Holy Presence!

Repent Of Your Sin

And You Shall Be Bountifully Blessed!

Don't Understand, Trembling In Fear
At The Can't-Be-Ignored Statement, Squeaked:

I Don't Understand!
Is My Mind Weak!?!

Faith For Today Chimed In:

Those Who Cast Off The Government Of God
- That Is The Laws And Precepts Of God -
Are Those Who First Cast Aside Man's Gift Of Understanding!

Pretended Ignorance Is An Insult To Our Creator
Who Gave Every Man Certain Gifts
Amongst Them
The Ability To Understand Right From Wrong!

Being Self-Willed And Own-Way Are Not Spiritual Blessings!
They Are Pillars
- Even Foundation Stones -
Whereon The Sin Life Is Built!

Don't Understand Replied: 

Dear Lord, Have Mercy On Me!

I See My Need

And I Here And Now Acknowledge That

I Am Carnal-Minded And Sold Out To Sin!

To Which Truth, Holding Mercy's Extended Hand, Replied:

Behold The Lamb Of God

Who Takes Away The Sin Of The World!

Following This Declaration
And
For The Record
This Is The Charge That Don't Understand Then Received:

Be Instant

Be Constant In Prayer!

Do Not Let The World Bend You To Its Will!

Do Not Live In Fear!

The Lord Says:

Come Boldly To The Throne Of Grace!

For You, I Have Made The Way!

Stand Up And Be Counted For The Kingdom!

I Shall Not Turn You Away!

Ask ... When You Believe!

Seek ... Do Not Steal!

Knock: Heaven's Storehouses Are Open

And

You Will Your Request By Faith Receive!

The Devil

Old Satan Is The Liar!

His Soon Rest Is In The Lake Of Fire!

Do Not Follow Him Like A Tame Dog

He Cannot Save You Nor Himself

So

Go Straight To The Lord Of Life

And

The Lord Always Willing

You Will Survive The Mortal Strife

And

From The Hand Of The Lord Christ

You Will Receive Eternal Life!

Remember! Remember!

Don't Ever Forget:

Perfect Love Casts Out Fear!

This Is The Sure Word!

It Is Not A Whim Nor A Dare!

Trust The Word Of The Promise Giver

Who Is Also The Promise Keeper

Whether You Live Long

Or Become A Long-Home Sleeper!

Trust The Creator!

Trust The Lord Kind!

Trust The Shepherd Of Your Rest

Because

He Won't Cast You Aside

Or

Leave His Faithful Child Behind!

Don't Doubt The Lord: It Is A Sin

A Known Crime!
