TREASURES: Human Magpies?!

We Humans Talk About Magpies
Who Like Things Shiny And Bright
BUT
We Are No Different
AND
We Also Like Tingling
AND
Jingling Twinkling
Even Though The Inordinate Love Of These Things
Brings With Them
None Other Than Soul Blight!
We Happily Call Them A Delight!

We Also Like Things
Blaring And Glaring
AND
We Detest The God-Fearing
The Mindful And The Careful
AND
Coddle The Damnable
AND
The Distasteful
AND
Call The Faithful Good
Disgraceful!

We Sing Songs Of Praise
To The Knowingly Sinful!
We Make Light Of Ways
Knowingly Shameful!
We Take Walks In Glades
To Do Things Abominable
AND
We Deliberately Call The Lord Christ
A Verifiable Fable!

We Doubt The Word Of
The Giver Of Life
AND
Laud The Lies Of The Blight Of Life!

Some Of Us Talk To The "Dead"
Calling Them Angels From On High
AND
Forget God
Who Is Able
To Shine Light On Devilishly Nimble Lies!

Time To Break That Cable!

We Trust In Wrong
AND
Doubt The Right!
We Kiss The Frog
AND
Let Down Our Hair!
We Drink-In The Lukewarm
AND
Bite The Poisoned Apple

AND

In The Glass Coffin Lie Down
After "Honestly" Believing
That Blighted Man Will Raise The Dead
After Satan Aka Lucifer The Light-Bearer
"Comes Down "

In His Shining White And Bright Nightgown!

The Fool Says
In His Deceived Heart
That There Is No God!
The Fool Is The One
Who Will Not Take Of God's Correction!
The Fool Is The One
Who Chooses Not To By God Be Made Wise
AND
Is The Fool Is The Ardent One
Who Treasures Known Lies!

Be Not Deceived!
Almighty God Is Not A Man-Made Clock
To Be Set According To The Fashion!
Almighty God Is Neither A Gyroscope
Working At Our Direction
Nor A Metronome
To Go At Speed
Ordered By Us To Perfection!

The Living God
Is The God Of Order!
He Provides Time For Man
To Be Led Out Of Ways Disordered
AND

By His Direction
Correction
AND
In His Protection
To Live Life Orderly
IF
We Will Give To Him
Our Will
So That He Will Make For Us The Way!

It Behooves Us Well
To Trust The Lord
To Think Aright
To Ignore The Temptations Of The Fraud
Who Cannot Make Us Bow To His Will
No Matter How Many Blandishments
He Will Our Minds
Try
Avidly To Fill!

Let Your Eye Be Bright
With Shining Truth!
Feel Your Feet Tingle
As You Move To Share The Good News!
Let Your Nerves Jingle
In Aversion
To Reinterpreted Gospel
AND
See The Twinkle
In The Eye Of The One
Who At Last Knows
That God
- Through Jesus Christ -
Will Never Reject
A Repentant Sinner's
Trusting-God Call!

Take Time To Know Jesus
Who Knows Everything
About  Everything
Concerning
You!

Be To Him True
For
He Loves
AND
Cares 

Mercifully

Forgivingly

Redeemingly

Gracefully
For You!

I Trust Him! - Will You?!

The Price ... of Sin!

The Realization Was Long In Coming
AND
The Truth Is
The Price Of Sin Is Too High
For
With Broken Heart
Broken Dreams
AND
Broken Body
The Stolen Pleasure Was Is Ever A Devilish Lie!

I Learned Of A Surety
That Doing Right Comes At A Cost
AND
I Also Learned That Sinning
Comes
With The Indelible Promise
Of Eternal Loss!

I Must Tell You, Also
That
Despite What That "Good" Preacher Did Say
Jesus Christ Can't
Won't Save Me Whilst I'm Sinning
For
I Must From Sin Studiously Walk Away!

On My Journey
To Repentance
From Wrong-doing
I Came Across Confession
That Is Ever Good For The Soul!
I Learned That Repentance
Is A U-Turn
AND
That Satan Will Try To Make The Turn
Burn
Your Very Changing Changed Soul!

I Learned That I Have A Friend
That Sticks Closer Than A Brother
A Friend Who Has My Sides
My Front
AND
Back
A Friend Who Died
To Protect
To Perfect Me
A Friend Who Died So That The Great God
Into His Holy Kingdom
Would Take Me Back!

I Learned That My Black Sin
Requires Red Blood
To Make My Foul Darkness Turn White!
I Learned That My Friend Is The Son Of The Father
AND
That It Is He
Who Shields
Guards Guides
AND
Ever Feeds Me
When Satan Tries To Extract My Tonsils
Through A Pin-Hole In My Back!

The Price Of Sin
The Price Of My Sin
Is Way Too Heavy
AND
I Am  Determined
By God's Grace
Not  Ever To Walk That Way Again
For
The Price Of My Salvation
Cost The Father An Eternal Bill
Man Me Can Never Pay Back!

The Price Of Sin

Is

The Cost Of Christ's Perfect Life!

God's Creation

Greetings, Dear Ones!

    This is the day that we who are Sabbath-keepers call Preparation Day, wherein we make sure that all our chores are done, meals prepared, clothing readied, and by sun-down we are ready to Sabbath or rest in the Lord from sundown on Friday to sundown on Saturday.

     It is a beautiful time where we spend it worshipping, studying, and fellowshipping (the food is always wonderful), as we remember that it is the memorial of God's Creation, and that He is our Creator and deserves our worship. It is the day that we keep holy unto the Lord.

     In its honor, our offering today is a poem entitled God's Creation that speaks to the fact that all He has recreated is for the refreshment and renewing of our minds.

     Enjoy!

God’s Creation

Creation came from God’s palette

Made up of things supreme

He who designed the creation

Designed it to keep me serene.

Nobody views God’s creation

The way that it speaks to me

So my view of God’s creation

Can only be got from me.

God put all the right colors

In the rainbow, the flowers, the seas

They all fit together in perfection

Because God caused it to be!

So when I’m sad and lonely

I look at God’s creation and see

The beautiful things He created

The things that speak “peace” to me! **BJC**
