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!

Heaven Awaits Only The Faithful!

I. Watch
He Waits
They Long
And
We Pray
Are Believing Brethren!
They Are Brethren Greatly Beloved Of The Holy God!

These Brethren Are True Believers 

In The Given Promises Of Almighty God
The Holy God
Who Made Heaven And Earth
The Sea And All That In Them Is!

These Brethren Are True-Hearted
And
Faithful
And
They Have Set Aside Self
And
They Set No Evil Thing Before Their Faces

Because

Their Faces Look To Jesus Christ
The Author And Finisher Of Their Faith
Who Is Not Ashamed To Call Them Brethren!

These Brethren Have Come A Mighty Long Way!
They Have Walked Away From Self!
They Have Denied The Liar!
They Have Lifted Up Truth!
They Have Embraced Mercy!
They Thrive On Free Grace
And
They Have Chosen To Endure All Things
For The Lord Christ
By Exercising Faith
- Their Daily Receipt Of Faith -
So That They May Walk Holy
Even As Their Master Is Holy!

They Do Not Walk An Easy Road
Because
They Are Traveling To Heaven
And
The Arch Deceiver Is Ever Dogging Their Footsteps
Hoping
Ever Hoping
To Entice Them To Turn Aside To Fables
To Believe In Gross Lies
To Indulge Doubt
To Disbelieve Truth
To Spurn The Eternal God's Mercy

And
To Engage In Feelings
Based On The Sight Of Lying Eyes
The Lust Of Carnal Flesh
And
The Pride In The Unsatisfying Life!

As I Said
It Is Not 

And, For That Matter

Cannot Be An Easy Road!

Truth Be Told ...

Were It Not For Almighty God's Great Grace
- Available And Free To All Who Will Believe -
These Brethren Would Be Walking Wild
Eager
The Love Of God To Deny
Because
They Will Have Fallen For 

The Practised Lie Of The Devil That
There Is No Land Fairer Than Day
That There Is No Sweet Bye And Bye
That Heaven Is A Fairy Tale
That There Is No Answer In Jesus Christ
That The Holy Spirit Isn't
That There Are No Angels Watching Over Us
That This Present State
Is 

The Totality Of Man's Being
Because

You Live!
You Die!
End Of Story!
No Glory!

But, Thank God ...

For Present Grace
And
Surely Coming Glory
These True-Hearted Brethren Have
The Eyes Of Faith
The Love Of The Truth
And
The Hope Of Surpassing Glory!

They Can See The Kingdom Coming!
They Can Hear The Eternal Strains Of Sweet Music
Before The Majesty Of Heaven
And
In Glad Hope
They Sing The Refrain:

Jesus Loves Me!

I Believe It!

He Is Savior God To Me!

I Take Hold

By Faith

The Horns Of The Altar

And

By Living Faith

I Shall Stand Blessed

Before The White Throne

For

I Do Not Walk This Path Alone!

It Must Be Stated 

And We Who Believe

Need To Accept That ...

Many Are The Trials Of The Faithful
But
These Do Not Compare
To The Glory Of Christ To Be Shared

In The Coming Great Day! 

Perfection Of Character
Regeneration Of Spirit
And
Taking On Jesus
Is 

A Light Burden

And 

To Them And All Believers

A Very Light Price To Pay

To Reach Eternity!

Jesus Savior

Spirit Comfort

Father God

Angels Protect

I, Believer

Know Heaven Awaits Me

And

For This Reason

Sin Self And Satan

Are Things I Roundly Reject!
