Burning Goats Don't Float!

Fret Not Thyself
Because Of Evil Doers
AND
Know
That Of A Surety
Obedience Unto God
Will Be Rewarded!

Your Reward Is Known!
Claim It!
Walk Unto God
Even If You Walk Alone
AND
Don't Permit Yourself
By Satan
To Be Wickedly Defrauded!

Choosing To Honor God
Means
That You Choose To Live
With Satan's Rabid Hate
AND
This, My Friends
Let All Christ-Believers Appreciate
That Sheep From Goats
Thereby
Are Completely Separated!

Faith Without Works
Is Dead!
Loving The Unseen God
AND
Hating Your Visible Brother
Marks You As
A To-Truth Nutter
So
Do The Right
Walk Upright
In All Truth And Light
AND
Through God's Grace
You Will Your Daily Battles 
Calmly 
Look Square In The Face!

God Is Not A Liar
Neither Can He
Through Lack Of Sleep
Tire
So
Lift Up Your Gaze
AND
Call Satan What He Is
- A Disgrace -
AND
Let Abiding Love Cause You
With Compassion
To Wash A Brother's
A Sister's
Dirty Face!

Truth Is Truth
AND
Lie Is Lie!
Jesus Is Returning
AND
With Him
Believers Will Soon Fly
BUT
Only If Through Faithful Endurance
The Machinations
Of The Devil
We Strenuously Deny!

There Will Be No Skaters In Heaven
No Eaters Of Pharisee Leaven
No Drinkers Of Babylonian Wine
Nor Mere Men Who Call Themselves
Gods On Earth
Forgivers Of Sin
Holy
AND
Divine!

Sisters Sometimes Have Brothers
AND
Brothers Sometimes Have Wives
AND
Satan Bedevils Men
By Selling Pretty Lies!
Be Not Deceived Thereby!
God Is Not Mocked!
Satan Is After You
Because He Wants To Keep
His Companions-For-Hell Basket
Well And Truly
Fully Stocked!

Some Men Live Like Lice
AND
Some Men Think Vice Is Nice
AND
Some Think That License
Is A Perfect Device
For Liberty
For Looseness
AND
For Goosing Old Goats
BUT
God Is The Judge Of All
Beholding
AND
Recording 
All That We Say
AND
All That We Do
AND
That Is No Joke!

KNOW THIS ...

Whatever Garden We Tend And Plant
Burning Goats
On Glorious Wings
Don't Float
BUT
Obedient Sheep
To Highest Heaven 
Will Surely Advance!

So ...

Don't Spend Your Few Groats

On Fake News

Selling

Disinformation!

Buy The Truth
AND
Sell It Not
AND
Sing Praises!
Sing Praises
To The Eternal God

AND

Let Your Heart
In Jesus Christ
Be Glad
AND
Thereby
Make The Adversary Of Souls
Really, Really, Sad!

Strange Work For God!

How Much Faith 

Is In Our Faithfulness?

How Much Faithfulness 

Is In Our Faith?

How Much Love 

Is In Our Happiness?

How Much Happiness 

Is In Our Love?

How Much Hope 

Is In Our Helplessness?

How Much Helplessness 

Is In Our Hope?

How Much Greed 

Is In Our Needfulness?

How Much Needfulness 

Is In Our Greed?

How Much Needfulness

Do We Feed Our Sinfulness

Before Faithlessness Leads To Christlessness

With Lying Satan

Riding Us Like Prize-winning Steeds?

************

"Come Unto Me
All Ye That Labor
AND
Are Heavy-Laden
AND
I Will Give You Rest!"
Is Not An Invitation Carelessly Tossed Out!
It Is An Invitation
To Live In AND For The Lord
AND
At His Returning
Shall He Find Faith
There Will Be The Heavenly Reward
Gloriously Given Out!

It Is Bandied About
By The Faithless Crew
That In Self Is Satisfaction
AND
A Bauble Or Two
BUT
In The Invitation To Rest
Is A Rejection Of The Fun Run
AND
A Willingness To Grinding Servitude
Where
Individuality Is Considered A Bad Attitude!

It Is Also Stated
By Those Who Are To Self
Slaves
That They Want No Part Of The God
Who Sodom And Gomorrah Did Raze
For
In Their Indictment
Of The Creator Of Us All
They Say
That God Made A Defective Creature
AND
As Such
He Is Responsible For Man's Fall!

These Also Rashly Point 
To The End Of All Things
AND
Accuse The Living God
Of Evil Speaking
Bullying
Grandstanding
AND
Threatening 
All Contrary-To-His-Will Men
With Annihilation In Eternal Hell Fire
If They Don't Bow To His Sovereign Will
AND
From Sinning Retire!

These Willful Wanderers
Call The Holy God Mean
AND
Take Pleasure In Unrighteousness
Just To See If
What God Says
Is What God Means!
The Attitude Is Such That Says
That If God Were Really Real
Destruction Would Be Instant
AND
Not To Be Meted Out 
Eternally
In Some Distant Day
AND
For This Very Reason
They Will Do What They Like
AND
Indulge In Abominable Displays
For
Life Is For Good Living
For We Are On The Earth For A Few Short Days
AND
In All This
We Can See Satan's Dirty Hands
AND
His Interpretation Of 
The Holy God's Attributes
AND
Ways!

Eternal Hell Fire Simply Means
No One Will Extinguish It!
It Doesn't Mean
Everlasting Burning
In Inextinguishable Flames!
That, Too
Is One Of Satan's Best Lying Efforts
To Show Man That
Almighty God
Is Like Him
A Sadistic Barbaric Yahoo!

Our Almighty God
Is Loving
Kind
Merciful
Even As He Is 
A God Of Justice, Too!
God Gives Each Man
Will
Way
AND
Opportunity
To Go To The Lord
AND
Say:

Father, I Am From This Day Willingly Following You!


When We Do What We Want
Against Law
Common Sense
Instruction
Direction
AND
Correction
We Pay The Price
BUT
When We Do What The Lord Desires
Letting The Holy Spirit
Be Our Guide
We To Heaven Aspire
AND
We Avoid God's Prepared-For-Unrepentant-Sinners
Hell Fire!

God Offers A Blessing!
God Offers A Curse!
Blessing Or Cursing
It Is Up To Man
To Choose A Verse
In The Hymn
That Is Sung
In The Life Of All Men
AND
It Is Up To Each One
Who Will
Over Him
Say The "Amen!"

God's Blessing ... Blesses!
God's Cursing ... Curses!
AND
None But The Living God
Can A Curse Reverse!

We Are Called To Faithfulness
Truthfulness
Honesty
Obedience
AND
Love
AND
We Are Called To Worship
Honor
AND
Praise
The God Of Heaven
Through Whom We Have Length Of Days
AND
Abiding Heavenly Love That Faith Pays!

We Were Made
For Jesus Christ's Pleasure
AND
In Him We Have Life
AND
We Are Not To Give Unto Satan
Our Blood-Bought Selves
To Be His Stolen Treasure
AND
It Is Time
That We Take His Measure
AND
Mark Him Off
Our Lives Accounted-For-Good
Accounting Ledger!

God Cannot
Will Not
Save Man
In His Known
Relished
Unconfessed
Unrepented Of Sin
AND
Those Who Refuse To Go Humbly To God
Will See God Himself
At The Second Resurrection
- That Of The Filthy
AND
The Unrighteous -
Do A Strange Work
To Clean The Earth
Even Though
It Is Not His Desire
That Anyone
Should Perish!

Think ... Before You Act!

Get The Facts

AND

Walk Right And Holy

AND

Do Not Like Lot's Wife

At Sinning Look Back!

FREEDOM: The Shopping Spree!

I Was Invited To Free-Shop
And Thought To Myself:

Why Not?!

So I Took The Gee Train
To Olde Broadway
AND
Got Off 
At The Last Stop!

I Proceeded To Goode Time's Squared
AND
Joyously Went Wild
AND
For Things Off De Chaine
Hungry
I Shopped Quite A Lot
For A Long While!

Things Were Free
At The Penny Store
AND
At Know Scents
For Two Pounds
Not Dollars And No Cents
I Purchase Three Thrills
AND
Got Four Unwitting Spills
AND
Two Skinned Knees
For Free!

I Got A Giant Bottle Of Own-Way
AND
I Scored A Decanter Of Pay-For-Play
AND
I Had An All-You-Can-Eat
Now And Later Lunch
At Cheap Cash Chews And Forays!

I Danced Up A Storm
At Pop Rocks
AND
Bust A Rhyme
At Speak As Your Heart Is Inclined
Where After
I Fell To The Floor
Bumping My Head
Good And Hard
For Sure At
Go Low Low
AND
Score!

By The End Of My Shopping Spree
I Could Hardly Breathe
For
The Booty I Carried
Had Me Burdened For Sure
BUT
I Had Enjoyed The Excursion
AND
On The Customer Experience Survey
I Ticked Off That I Would Highly Recommend It
AND
Do It Myself Again
At Least
A Couple Couple Times More!

Well ...

Let Me Tell You
On The Way 
To Go Back To My Home
First ... I Couldn't Find The Gee Train
AND
When I Did
It Was Running On The See Line
AND
My Entrance Led Me To The Exit
For All The Common Core
AND
It Butted
AND
Bounded
On Wide Streets Weirdly Called
Hamster Wheel
AND
Perpetual Revolving Door!

By Now ...

I Was Tired
AND
Worried To Boot
AND
When I Reached Rabbit Warren
I Cried Out:

Oh,  Shoot!

For
A Distant Memory
Was Coming To The Fore
AND
At Its Explosion
I Knew I Was In Trouble For Real
For There Was For Me
At This Trying Time
Not A Single Visible
Open Door
AND
I  Became Trembly
AND
Turned Deathly Deathly Pale!

Oh, How I Did Hurt!
My Feet Felt Fat In Thin Man Shoes!
My Sore Eyes Burned Like I Was Salt-Water Swimming!
My Head Was Fair Spinning!
My Back Felt Ready To Break!
AND
My Heart In Fear Was Tripping
AND
My Hands Heavy
Were Surely Scraping The Floor
AND
My Mind In Total Turmoil
Startled
At The Harsh Sound
Of The Quiet Voice
Which
Oh, So Gently Said:

Lose That Load
Or You Will Be Forever Lost!

Who Are You?
Can You Help Me?
I Boarded The Wrong Train, I Think
AND
This Journey Is Proving
In My Nostrils 
To Be A Rank Stench!

I Want To Go Back
To The Beginning!
My Train Was On The Wrong Track
And I Feel Like I Am
Under Attack!

Dear One,
Calm Your Self!
Say A Prayer!
And Hear
And Do
Everything That I Say:

Lose The Load!
It Is Useless
For With It
You Will Never Get To Go Where
There Is Peace At Home!

Tell The Savior You Are Sorry
And Give Unto Him This Worry
And In His Great Compassion
He Will You Safely Carry!

Believe
And In Faith
Walk To The
The-Free Shop
Wherein You Will Find
Blessed Merchandise
From Him Who Is Ever Kind!

There Is

• Quiet Gentle Spirit
• Wisdom
• Knowledge
• Understanding
• Truth
• Light And Life
• Hope
• Help And Healing
• Strength For The Strife!

There's Conviction

• Faith For The Day
• Grace For To Stand
• Strength For Life's Journeys
• Oh Taste And See The Son Of Man
• On The Promises Of God You Will Stand!

And There Are
Blessings 
And
Hid Treasure
When You Walk The Narrow Way
In Obedience
Unto Salvation
And
The Master Is
Just A Prayer Away!

Do You Understand What I Am Saying?

Yes! Yes,  I DO!

Then, Walk Straight Ahead!
Do Not Look Right!
Do Not Look Left!
And
No Matter What Happens Around You
Don't Look Back!
Look Assuredly Ahead!

The Way Is Not Easy
And 
To Arrive Safely
You Must Take The Yoke Easy 
And 
Carry The Burden Light!

You Must Trust The Master
Even When You Can't Trace Him!
You Must Believe And Walk
Knowing That He Will Finish What In You He Started
And
That He Will Carry You Safely
All The Way Home
For
With His Blood And Body
He Purchased 
Precious Redemption
For His Beloved
And
That Means You!

Walk Wise!
Do Good!
Trust!
Obey!
And 
Pray!

There Is No Self In Salvation
For
With It Embraced
You Will Never See
The Everlasting Day!

Thank You!
Bless You!

Was All I Could Say!
I Then Turned Away 
AND
Toward The Savior
Started Walking
AND
I Prayed! How I Prayed!

The Way Is Not Easy
For
Temptations Are Rife
BUT
God's Great Grace Is Every Ready
As I Walk Toward Eternal Life!

Soon The Day Will Be Ended!
Soon Life's Strife Will Be O'er!
Soon The Trumpet Will Be Sounded
AND
By God's Grace
With Endurance
Soon I Will
With All Right
Walk Through
Heaven's Gate Door
Having Overcome
Sin And Satan
In What Was A Blistering Fight!

If Christianity

Was A

Cake-Walk

Life

Would Be Filled 

With

Sweet Treats

And

Christians

Would Have Cavities

Not

Calluses

And

Would Hear Choruses

Not Curses!!

PERSONAL PUZZLER : A Fractionated God!? + PRAYER: Lord, Please Bless My Walk

I Dressed And Left
For Work Today
BUT
Only Went Halfway!
I Clocked In
AND
I Earned My Pay
AND
At The End Said:

Lord, What A Blessed Day!

I Kept This Up
For Many A Day
Glorying
In Anticipation
Of A Shopping Spree
AND
Rested Each Night
Full Of Hope
Of My Earned Rewards
Oh, Soooo Pleasantly!

In The Fullness Of Time
I Drew The Check That Is Mine
AND
Hurriedly Went Off
To Cash It
BUT
There Was Waiting For Me A Shock
For There Had Been
No Beneficial Time On The Clock
AND
My Un-Earnings Showed
Upon Me A Blot
AND
What I Deserved
Is Exactly What I Got!

NOTHING!

Nothing
IS Exactly What
Each Faithless Man Will Receive
Of The Glories
That God
For His Faithful Children Has Prepared
For There Will Be No Glory-Payments Made
For Non-Work Done While Vacationing
Comfortably
On The Clock
In The Cool And In The Shade!

But ... WHY?!

YOU Actually Dare
To Ask Why?!?!

Yes, I DO!

I Sing The Songs!
I Read The Word!
I Teach The Bible Class!
I Walk Among The Herd!
I Pray!
I Sometimes Stray
But I Am Human
Without A Doubt
And I Never Forget
That Jesus Christ IS Real
And I Never Fear His Name To Talk About!

Sounds Good!

BUT ...

You Fornicate!
You Adulterate!
You Steal!
You Lie!
You Lift Up Your Self!
You Don't Put God Into Your Heart
But Place Him On The What-Not's Bottom Shelf!

You Turn Up For Work
But You Know Not The Product Line
AND
You Sell Others A Bill Of Goods!
You Don't Show Them That Almighty God
Can The Human Heart Refashion
AND
To Himself Have It Ever Incline!
You Serve Yourself
AND
For The World You Repine
AND
Running After Fool's Gold
You Act Quite Asinine!

Your Talking Has No Walking
AND
Even If You Walked Straight
In Front Of Men
In The Face Of God
Your Walk Has A Clear And Damning Fault!
You Are A Faithless Steward!
You Work Without Faith And Belief
AND
You Live By Outward Appearance
Which Only Mere Men
- To Truth Blinded -
Will Believe!

In Man's Workplace
You May Have Someone
Clock In Your Time Card
Or You May Show Up For Work
And Sweat
By Looking In The Face Mirror Hard!
You May Deceive The Earthly Pay Master
BUT
Not The Eternal God
AND
All Such Attempts Will
- Unrepented -
Receive The Salary Of The Fraud!

If God Is The Lord
Serve Him!
If The Fraud Is Your Lord
Serve Him!
BUT ...
Please Do Not Believe
It Is Possible
To Straddle
Heaven And Hell
For That, Beloved
Is The Mark
Of How Old Satan Fell!

Self Service
In
God's Service
Is
An Impossibility
AND
All
Who Attempt It
Will Drink Of 
The Fire And Brimstone Shandy!

You Sinned
So Repent
AND
Ask To Be Converted
AND
Ask For The Indwelling Of The Holy Spirit
AND
Walk Faithful
- Not As One Unstable -
For God IS The Rock Of Our Salvation
AND
In Him
We Can From Sin
Walk Away Able And Stable!

Body Conversion

Without Soul Conversion

Avails A Man Nothing

Save Condemnation

In The Day

Of Christ's Glorious Appearing!

*********

A Man 

Attempting To Fool God 

Shows A Fool 

Fooling Himself!

*********

With God

It Is All In 

Or

Everything Out!

For

Some Of This

And

Some Of That

Results

In A Lucifer-like Rout!

*********

God Does Not Do Fractions!

*********

PRAYER:

Oh, God Divine

Repentance Is Mine

Accept It

For In Jesus' Name

I Give It!

Help Me

By Faith

To Walk Straight

With Assurance

Towards Heaven's Pearly Gates

And Bless Me

So That I Will Have The Right

To Walk Through It!

Have Mercy, Lord, On Me

For In Jesus Christ's Holy Name

I Plead!

I Love You, Lord!

AMEN.
