EMERGENCY SIREN: Nobody Wakes Up Dead!

 

For Every Siren That We Hear

There Is A Living Soul In Mortal Distress: 

Neither The Coroner Nor The Mortuary Van

Has Need Of Urgent Progress! 

Beloved, 

None Of Us Knows The Day Or The Hour 

When We Shall Close Our Eyes For The Long Sleep 

From Which No Man's Fabricated Alarm May Awaken Us 

And

For This Reason 

I Bid Us All To Keep Current Accounts With Our Lord Jesus! 

At The Siren's Sound

Please Raise Up Your Heart To The Holy God 

And 

Pray For Our Brethren That 

Our Blessed Lord Will Have Mercy 

And 

Grant Them Strength, Courage, And The Opportunity 

To Confess And Repent Of Known Sin 

And Take Jesus Christ As Their Everlasting Portion 

So That They May Be Blessed 

And 

Saved Into The Living Kingdom

According To Their Will! 

Dear Ones, 

We Who Know And Love The Lord

Please Do Not Relax And Act Carelessly About Your Salvation! 

We Sin By Thought, Word And Deed ... Daily

So Let Us, As We Realize Our Errors

And 

As A Matter Of Habit

Confess And Repent Of All Known Sin ... Every Day! 

Nobody Wakes Up Dead 

But

Everybody Awakens To Face The King Of Glory

The Judge Of All Flesh Who Will Have His Rewards With Him! 

I Sincerely Pray For Us All That 

When The Time Comes

That We All Will Arise From Our Long Home 

To See Our Jesus In All His Glory

In Perfect Peace! 

Dear Lord Jesus, 

We Adore You! 

Please Bless Us

As We Confidently

Raise Our Hearts To You

In Heartfelt Prayer! 

AMEN!

Choose The Good Part: Peace ... Perfect Peace!

 

King David Uttered The Words 

"I Will Both Lay Me Down In Peace, And Sleep; 

For Thou, Lord, Only 

Makest Me To Dwell In Safety!" 

And

The Prophet Isaiah Followed Him 

By Saying What Kind Of Peace 

And

Why That Peace Was Assured ... Guaranteed! 

Beloved, 

If We Desire The Blessings Of The Eternal God

We Must Be Diligent 

To Sincerely Do Exactly What He Lovingly Asks Of Us! 

When Your Mind Is Stayed Upon Someone

It Is Because There Is Love

A Loving, Committed, Reciprocal Relationship 

Between Consenting Partners 

Who Care About Each Other

And 

Trust The Words "Until Death!" 

Even As They Walk The Lonesome Road Alone-Together! 

Dear Ones, 

Our Trust In The Lord Jesus Christ 

Causes Us To Become Rich ... Without Sorrow! 

The Eternal God's Love For Us 

Brings With It Neither Shame Nor Disappointment 

And

Because It Is A Love That Will Not Let Us Go

It Will ... Paradoxically 

Be A Love That Will Not Force Us To Stay Put! 

The Love Of God 

Is 

The Anchor For Our Souls 

And

Our Trust In God 

Gives Us The Wings And Eyesight Of The Eagle 

And

The Endurance Of The Ox Of The Protected Stall! 

Let Us This Day Think On Him Who Thinks On Us 

Who Are The Apple Of His All-Seeing, Unwearied, Eye! 

Jesus Christ Saves!

Please Trust And Obey 

And 

Be Forever Happy And Blessed! 

Stay Put 

Aka Stay Rooted And Grounded

Steadfast And Sure 

In The Love Of The Lord Christ: 

Rest Your Weary Soul In Him! 

Peace!

One Disorder, Three Lives, Three Outcomes!

If I Knock On Your Forehead

Will You Cheerfully Answer The Front Door!?! 

If The Answer Is Not An Emphatic "Yes!" 

What, May I Ask, Is Eating You!?! 

The Frontal Lobe Of The Brain Deals With 

Our Spirituality Aka Our Need To Worship

Our Morality Aka Our Chosen Behavior

And 

Our Will Aka To Do Or Not To Do Right, Wrong, Dicey Or Disgusting! 

The Holy Word Says That 

In The Presence Of Two Or Three Witnesses

A Matter Should Be Established: 

King Saul, King Solomon, And Prophet Elijah Were All Depressed

Suffering From Stinking Thinking! 

Instead Of Being Obedient And Walking With The Spirit Of Truth

King Saul Went Rogue 

And 

Ended Up Playing Footsie With That Lying Spirit, Satan

And 

Effectively, Efficiently, Offed Himself! 

King Solomon Disobediently Went After Many Pagan Wives And Concubines 

And 

Also Did What Many Of Us Are Doing Today 

Aka He Tried Every "Pleasure" Until Pleasure Was Pain! 

He Hated His Life 

And

Called Everything Vanity And Vexation Of Spirit! 

King Solomon Eventually Came To His Senses 

And 

Was Converted 

But 

Took The Scars With Him To His Grave! 

Elijah ... Almighty God's Faithful Prophet

Was Hunted Down Like A Wild Dog 

By The Blood-Thirsty Pagan Queen Jezebel: 

He Ran From Her 

And 

He Wanted To Die! 

The Lord Gave Prophet Elijah  A Work To Do 

And

At Its Completion 

He Was Picked Up In A Fiery Chariot 

And 

Carried To Heaven: 

He Never Tasted Death! 

One Disorder

         Three Lives

                Three Outcomes! 

Dear Ones,

Depressed Or Not

We Have Our Sacrosanct Will With Which To Bless God: 

Please Let Him Take Control Aka Have Master-Control

And 

You Shall Know, Enjoy, Experience His Perfect Peace! 

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: JOYS FOREVERMORE: All The Way With Christ Jesus!

We Must Come To Totally Trust Our Lord Christ! 

If ... When ... The Lord Jesus Sends You On One Of His Errands

He Will Provide The Means To Get It Done 

And

Will Show You The Method To Accomplish The Work! 

When The Lord Delivers Us From One Of Our Sorrows

He Delivers Us To Himself 

To Experience One Or Any Number Of His Determinate Joys! 

Beloved, 

Our Lord Does Not Say "Joy Comes In The Morning!" 

If He Cannot Cause Morning To Break! 

He Does Not Say That He Will Turn Our Mourning Into Dancing 

If He Is Not The Creator, Composer

And 

Conductor Of Music ... And Joyful Celebration! 

Our Jesus Says "Lean Not Unto Your Own Understanding!" 

Because 

He Provides You With His Wisdom! 

Jesus Christ Is Our Only Peace 

Because 

He Will End Our Every War! 

He Is The Light As He Extinguishes Darkness! 

He Is The Life Of Every Man 

Because 

He Is The Author Of Life 

And

Has Conquered Death! 

Jesus Christ Will Supply Joys Forevermore 

Because 

He Is The Joy Of Living 

And

Grants Eternal Life! 

Our Lord Christ Saves Us 

Because 

He Is The Savior

And 

He Will Redeem Us 

Because 

He Has Already Paid Our Purchase Price! 

Our Blessed And Beloved Jesus Will Come Back For Us 

Because 

He Promised To Return As He Was Leaving Us Behind 

To Go To Our Father! 

Our Lord And God Known Almighty Is Able 

And

Everything That He Has Said That He Will Do

He Is The Power To Accomplish It! 

Jesus Christ ... The King Of Glory

Asks Us To Trust Him 

And 

He Gives Us An Each-Day Gift Of 

A Measure Of His Faith 

To Use To Trust Him At His Word Aka The Truth! 

Remember, Remember

Don't Ever Forget ...

A New Day To Live

Brings A Fresh Supply Of Faith 

To Use To Honor The Lord! 

Choose To Be Blessed! 

Choose To Believe God: 

Please Use Your Gift Of Faith For Today!

 

Peace That Comes From The Prince Of Peace

Is

Perfect Peace:

Peace Be Upon You!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Sing Unto God! + PRAYER: Help Us, Lord, To Sing Unto You Like Whistling Kettles!

Give Almighty God Great Praise: 

Don't Be Stingy! 

Think Critically, Beloved

About The God ... The Lord Jesus Christ 

Whom We "Proudly" Say That We Are Serving 

And 

Dare To Recognize That We Are ... Liars!?! 

Yes! Liars! 

We Say We Serve The Holy God

Who Ever Strengthens Us 

And 

Even Shields Us From The Harm We Cannot See! 

We Say That We Totally Trust Him 

But 

What We Mean To Say Is That 

We Trust Him Sometimes 

And 

Usually When It Is Convenient 

Aka When He Helps Us According To Our Timing 

And 

We Have "The Reason" About Which To Rejoice 

And

Merciful Powers

That Is When We Haul Out Our Grandparents' Favorite Song 

And 

Attempt To Burst Somebody's Ear-Drums As We Sing: 

"I Am Delivered! 

Praise The Lord!" 

We Should Be Ashamed Of Ourselves 

And 

We Should Do A Haul 'n Pull 

Aka Haul Back The 

"Where Was God When ... !?!" 

And 

Dig Deep For A Big Dipper Full Of 

"Jehovah, Hallelujah! 

My God Always Provides!" 

Dear Ones, 

It Takes No Effort To Sing Unto God 

When You Have Cash To Burn

Food To Waste

Clothes Enough To Dry-Rot

Nice Children

The Adoring Spouse

And 

Pleasant Work! 

If, However

You Can Pray, Praise

And 

Lift Up The Lord In The Midst Of The Storms In Your Life

You Know For Sure That You Are Cooking With Gas! 

PRAYER:

Dear Lord, 

Oh, That We Who Call Ourselves

Committed Christians 

May Be As The Whistling Kettle That

Sings Its Best Music 

When The Non-Stop Heat Is Applied

 To Its Bare Bottom 

And

The Only Stress-Reliever

Is To Sing Unto God 

Until Relief

The Promise Of Very Present Help

Swiftly Arrives! 

Thank You, Lord Jesus

For Being The On-Time

In-Time

Never-Late

Promise-Keeping

Heart-Cleansing

Ever-Loving

Always-Giving God Of Grace 

Who Inhabits Glory! 

Please Help Us To Give You Real Praise 

Because

You Are Our Perfect Love

Blessed Hope

And

Sweet Peace! 

AMEN!!!

Hope Thou In God!

HOPE 

Having Occasions To Pray Everday! 

Are You ... Blessed Child Of The Eternal God

Living A Hope-Filled Life!?! 

What Does Hope Mean To You!?! 

Do You Know That 

Living A Life Where You Have No Hope

Where You Feel Helpless

Makes You As One Heedless, Indifferent, Careless

And 

Deadly Dangerous!?! 

Beloved, 

Placing Your Hope Upon A Fallible Person 

Makes You Prime Real Estate 

For Satan And His Kind To Set Up Shop 

And 

Do A Brisk Trade Of Destruction

At Your Personal Expense! 

Satan ... The Damned ... Has Hope! 

He Has Opportunity To Prey On Someone Every Day 

And

He Takes His Job Seriously! 

Answer The Question ...

Why Don't You Have Hope In Jesus Christ 

Who Calls Us To Have Hope

To Trust

To Rely On Him 

Who Always Saves!?! 

Satan Has But A Short Time 

And 

Being Vilely Opportunistic

He Is Working Hard To Make 

His Number Of Acquisitions Of Lost Souls Look Bountiful! 

Why Aren't You Leaning On The Lord

Trusting His Work

Trusting His Work

Walking By Faith

Enduring All That Comes Your Way 

Knowing That Your Hope In Jesus 

Exchanges Your Borne Cross 

For A Wearable Crown Of Life 

In The Beautiful City Of God 

Where Hope Hands Over Operations 

To Eternal Love, Joy

And 

Perfect Peace!?! 

If The Air Of Entitlement 

Is 

Robbing You Of Your Hope

Stop Instantly

Think Critically

And 

Boldly Drop The Attitude

And 

Humbly Consider That Your Creator ... Your Father 

Is 

In Heaven, High, And Lifted Up

Seated On His Great White Throne

And 

You Are On Earth ... His Footstool!

 Interpretation!?! 

The Lord Sees Everything

Knows Everything

Is Over Everything 

And

He Decides What Is Best For You

When, Where 

And 

How! 

Our Father Makes No Mistakes 

And

His Request For You To Have Hope In Him 

Is 

For Your Temporal Upliftment 

And 

Your Eternal Blessing! 

Please, I Beseech Us All

Lose The Attitude 

And 

Live Hopefully 

And 

With Gratitude

And

Your Altitude Will Be Blessed 

By Your Living In The Beatitudes!

Peace Be Upon You 

As You Have Faith ... As You Hope

In Jesus Christ Our Lord!

HAPPY SABBATH + C.L.O.E Christian

Are You A Sometime

A Part-Time 

Or A Committed Full-Time Christian!?! 

Are You A Full-Time Christian 

Who Does Full-Time Worship 

In The Presence Of Christians Called And Committed 

But

Behaves Contrary To The Call To Glory 

In The Presence Of Your Non-Christian Friends 

Because 

You "Want To Fit In And Not Make Waves 

Or Be A Square Peg In A Round Hole!?!" 

Is Your Walk With The Lord 

Built Upon The Holy Faith Which Is 

Confidence In Christ

 Love

Obedience 

   And 

Endurance!?! 

Beloved, 

Where Would You Be

What Would You Aka Could You Do

How Would You Feel, Survive

And 

Prosper 

If

Jesus Christ, Your Only Hope

Had Been The Part-Time Creator 

And 

Is Now Your Part-Time Savior

Redeemer

Great Physician

Friend

Provider, Sustainer,

Justifier, Sanctifier

Healer, Teacher

Shepherd, Defender

Lover Of Your Soul

And

Glorifier To Be!?! 

Stand Firm ...

Being An Uncomfortable-With-Sin Christian 

Is

Going To Light You Up 

And

Cut You Off From Friend And Family 

And

Make You A Target Of All The Foes Of Jesus Christ 

But

It Will Brand You As Favored

Blessed

And 

Protected By The Living, Holy

All-Knowing

Ever-Present

All-Seeing God Of Grace And Glory! 

Take Heed ... 

You Cannot Serve Two Masters: 

Part-Timers Don't Get Full Benefits! 

Please Commit To Humbly, Enduringly

Faithfully Carrying The Cross Of Shame 

So That You Will ... Immortalized

Incorruptibly Wear 

The Crown Of Life Aka Glory! 

Perfect Peace With Christ ... Is!

Happy, Helped And Hopeful!

Happy ... Helped ... Hopeful: 

This Is The Living Legacy Of 

Almighty God's Love Toward Us Collectively 

And 

Personally Individually! 

Beloved, 

We Who Love The Lord Christ 

And 

Choose To Truly Worship Him By Our Willing Obedience 

Are Blessed Over 

And 

Above Those Who Know Not The Lord! 

Our Happiness 

Is 

From The Lord Of Life! 

Our Help 

Is 

From Him Who Is Our Shepherd, Refuge And Strength

Our Very Present Help 

In Our Times Of Sure-To-Come Trouble! 

Our Hope 

Is 

In Our Savior, Redeemer, Forever Faithful Friend 

Who Knows Our Names, Present And Future

 And

Remembers Our Frame:

He Does Not Forget That We Are Dust! 

In Jesus Christ, We Live And Breathe: 

Without The Breath Of Life From Him

We Most Assuredly Die! 

He Is Real ...

Our Lord's Hands, Feet, Ears And Mouth 

Are Fully Functioning 

And 

I Beseech Us All To Remember That 

With His Hands, He Made Us! 

With His Mouth 

He Called All That We Behold Into Being! 

With His Ears 

He Hears Our Prayers

And 

On Determined Feet He Walked To Calvary 

To Restore Us Who Are Obedient Sheep! 

Trust The Living Word Of Truth ...

Be Happy In Jesus 

The Only One Whose Help Gives Us A Myriad Reasons 

To Have Abundant Hope In The God Who Gives And Forgives

Feeds And Frees

Succors And Sanctifies

And 

Breaks Bounds 

And

Bountifully Blesses The Brave Believer 

Bound For Beautiful Beulah Land! 

Be Joyful In Jesus Christ The King Of Love:

In Him Is Our Perfect Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: I-KNOW: Children Of The Light!

 

We Are Charged By The Lord Of Love 

To Live Good And Upright Lives 

Motivated By Justice, Mercy 

And 

Humility 

Because 

No One Can Escape The Consequence Of Sin 

Even If We Have Confessed 

And 

Repented Of That Sin! 

We Are Warned 

To Honestly Do To Others 

What We Personally ... Truthfully

Want Done Unto Us! 

Beloved, 

When The Lord Cautions Us 

For Or Against A Thing

It Will Do Us Well 

To Take Earnest Heed! 

We ... For Our Own Safety's Sake

Need To Practice Unrestrained Obedience

While Totally Disregarding Damnable Doubt

And

Deadly Defiance 

If 

It Is Our Whole Heart's Desire 

To See Our Savior In Perfect Peace! 

Let's Cease From The I-Feel 

And 

Hold To The I-Know 

Which Comes From The Sure And Secure 

"Thus Saith The Lord Of Life!" 

In Whom Is No Shadow Of Turning

Instability Or Deceit! 

Let Us Choose The Meek, Humble

Teachable

Enduringly-Faithful Spirit Of The Child Of God 

Truly Bound For Glory! 

By Almighty God's Great, Matchless, Grace

Let Us Allow The Holy Spirit To Do His Saving Work 

To Help Us Change Our Wayward Thoughts 

And By Extension

Our Untoward Actions 

So That Our Lord Will Find Good Pleasure 

In Us Who Are His Truly Blessed Children Of The Light! 

Peace Be Upon You! 

May The Bountiful Blessings Of The Lord Jesus Christ

Make You Rich Indeed!

PRAYER:: Help Us, Lord, To Love Others Even As We Love Ourselves!

 

Charity 

Is 

Love ... Pure And Simple

Undefiled 

By Me, Myself And I! 

PRAYER:

Heavenly Father, 

We Give You Heartfelt Thanks

And

Unfeigned Praise

For Your Love

Holy, Sacrificial, Kind

Faithful, Blessing

And

Ever True! 

We Thank You For Knowing Us 

While We Are Sinners 

In The Wilderness Of Sin 

And

Bless You In Jesus Christ's Holy Name 

For Calling Us To Your Side

And

To Reside In The House Of Love

The Home Of The Forever Blessed!

Forgive Us Our Sin

And

Cleanse Us From All Unrighteousness!

We Sincerely Repent! 

Please, Lord

We Beseech You

To Grant Us The Grace 

To Accept The Commission

To Love Others 

Even As We Love Ourselves 

And

To Do Unto Others

As We Desire Them

To Do To And For Us! 

Please Remember, Dear Lord

The Physically, Mentally, Emotionally

And

Spiritually Ill Amongst Us 

And

Help Them To Experience Your Peace

In All Its Fullness

According To Your Will

And

In Your Holy Way! 

Please Also Remember Those Amongst Us

Who Are In The House Of Mourning

And

Those Who Anticipate A Mourning To Come!

Please Comfort Them With Your Sweet Spirit! 

Father, 

On Our Own, We Are Weak

And

In Acknowledging Our Weakness

Our Need To Be Strengthened

We Approach Your Great Throne Of Grace 

With Holy Boldness 

And

Plead For The Blessings

That We So Desperately Need! 

Please Pity Us For We Will Not Survive 

Without Your Holy Hand

Of

Help And Healing

Provision And Protection

Sustenance And Salvation! 

Have Mercy And Lift Us Up 

So That We May Lift You Up! 

Be Gracious And Guide Us! 

Be Our Comfort And Carry Us! 

Bless Us And With Us Abide! 

In Your Eternal Wisdom

Please Turn Our Messes Into Messages 

Telling The Dying World

Of

Your Goodness, Grace 

And

Soon Return

For Your People Prepared To Meet You

In Perfect Peace

In Jesus Christ's Matchless Name We Pray 

And

Humbly Plead! 

Please Come For Us Soon!

AMEN! 

Only A Look ... At Christ Jesus!

To Live Is To See Change

And

Wherever There Is Change There Is Decay! 

Be Glad ...

We Were Not Created 

To Just Change From Day To Day To Year To Death 

Like Animals Without Hope 

So We Need To Repair To The Creator-God

Our Provider, Sustainer

Healer, Hope, Help 

And 

Salvation

The Decaying Of Our Bodies To Route Out! 

Jesus Christ The Righteous Cares ... For You And For Me

Individually ... Personally

So Dare To Dare And Love Him Back

And

Don't Just Do It Socially!

We Are Dearly Loved 

And 

We Need To Start Living To Live 

And 

Cease Living To Die! 

Don't You Know ... 

We Have The Friend Who Is Eternal

Who Gives The Best Gifts With Both Hands 

And 

Does Not Ever Take Them Back! 

He Is Constantly Inviting Us To Enter His Embrace 

And 

His Heart

And

He Is Inviting Us To Enter His House Of Peace, Love

Joy Forevermore

And 

Blessings

Now, Today ... This Very Moment 

By His Gift To Us Of Daily Faith

And Later

By His Gift Of Eternal Life

- Immortality And Incorruptibility - 

Physically

In Our Own Bodies

To See Him With Our Very Own Eyes!

Jesus Christ Is Not One To Lie! 

Any Friend Not Named

Jesus Christ The Lord

Is

A Fair- Weather Friend! 

Jesus Christ Our Lord

Is

The Only One 

Upon Whom We Can 

And

Should 

Ever, Always, In All Ways, Always Depend!

Beloved, 

Let's Pray Passionately ... Not Politically Correctly!

Let's Pray Faithfully ... Always Truthfully

And 

Really Talk To Our Father ... Our Jesus

- With The Help Of The Holy Spirit - 

As If Talking To Our Best Friend: He, Alone, Is! 

Only A Look ... 

Lovingly, Longingly, Look At Jesus Christ! 

Praise Him With Your Whole Heart! 

Touch Him! 

Embrace Him! 

Cry Out To Him! 

Laugh With Him ... Never About Him! 

Talk To Him About Everything ... He Knows Your Need! 

Get Angry At Him: He Can Handle It! 

Be Happy That He's There For You! 

Ask For A Gift: His Gifts Are Good And Perfect! 

Apologize For Sin And Selfishness! 

Rest In And On Him! 

Listen To His Words, His Heart! 

Praise Him Again: He Deserves It

And 

Repeat ... Ad Nauseum!

Praying Is Not A Corporate Symposium! 

Trust Ye In The Lord Jehovah!

Anything Less Than

Perfect Peace

Is

All-Out War!
