Permission To Be Loving ... And Honest!?!








One Of The Most Lawless Statements 
Ever Uttered By A Human 
Is 

"It Is Okay
To Be Loving And Honest
At The Same Time!" 

Lord Jesus, 
Please Save Us From Our Own Folly! 

Beloved,
 
Love And Honesty Are Irrevocably Bound Together! 
Love Without Honesty Is A Lie! 
Honesty Is Truth With Love! 
Love Is Always Honest: 
God Is Love! 
Love Is Always Truthful: 
Jesus Christ Is The Truth! 

Love Lights The Pathway Home! 
Home Is Where Jesus Christ Is: 
Jesus Christ Is Home! 
Home Is Filled With Light! 
The Light Of God Is Life! 

Jesus Christ Is The Way
The Truth
The Light
And 
The Life Of Every Man! 

The Love Of God 
Is 
The Light In Every Man! 

Almighty God Is Good! 
Good Never Changes! 
Love Never Changes! 

Love Is Honest! 
Love And Honesty Equal Life! 
Love Doesn't Lie: 
Love Your Neighbor As You Love Yourself! 

Please Remember This: 
The Dishonest Heart Will Never Enter The City 
Where Love Divine ... Love Eternal 
Dwells! 

Peace!

Man's Permission
To Be Loving And Honest
At The Same Time
Is
The Excuse
To Be Hateful And Dishonest
When "Necessary!!

From Head Knowledge To Living Wisdom!

Okay, Guys!
Let's Chew On This For A While:





What Are You Hearing, Seeing, Understanding?!

Well ...
The Text Speaks For Itself
And It Tells Its Own Story!

To My Mind
It Is A Stairway
To Surpassing Glory!

Go On!
Tell Us More!

Very Well!
It Is Like This:

If Something Is True
It Will Be Honest!
If Something Is Honest
It Should Also Be Just!

Just IS Justice IS Just!
It Must Contain Elemental Fairness!

When Something Is Just
It Will Also Be Pure!

Purity Contains No Taint!
It's Wholesome, Clean!

AND ...

Because Something Is Pure
It Is Ever Lovely!
Think Pure And Undefiled
As In ...




Something That Is God-Given Lovely
Is Worth My Speaking aka Reporting On It!

If Something Is Worth Speaking About
There Must Be Virtue ie., Strength And Power Behind It!
Think Of Jesus And The Woman With
The Issue Of Blood!

I Like That!

Very Good Point!

And, Finally ...

Because Praise
- Blessing -
Comes Of The Holy God
For Right Doing
Right Living
Right Thinking
Right Speaking
Righteousness
We Should Think Aka Dwell Upon
These Few Things
Which Will Hail Us Before The King
Who Is
Creator Sustainer
Savior Redeemer
Help Hope
Teacher Guide!

This Word Is Strong!
This Word Is True
AND
As Touching Christ Jesus
It Takes Virtue ie., Strength And Power
From Him
AND
Imparts Hoped-For-Healing
To Me And To You!

Well Done!
I Have Nothing To Add To That!
May Our Almighty God
Grant
That Knowledge Turns To Understanding
And Understanding To Wisdom
So That We
May Indeed Be Wise
Unto Sure Salvation!

AMEN!!

That Was Really Nice!

Indeed!

The Bible Explained
- Explains -
Itself!!

Honest Policy!?!





The Age-Old Adage
"Honesty Is The Best Policy!"
ISQuite Frankly
A Straight-up Lie!!

Man, From The Looks Of You
You Drank What You Should Have Anointed Yourself With
Because It Is Running Out Your Mouth
As Bare Ignorance!

Not So Fast, Slow-Poke!
He Is Right!

YOU Have Obviously Had Some Of HIS Libation!

Not At All!
Just Give Us A Hearing!

Simply Put
Honesty
ISYes!
ANDNo!

Policy
Simply Put
IS
Maybe Yes!
Maybe No!
AND
Maybe So!
Probably!
Likely!
Possibility!
To Our Understanding!
By Reason Of ...!
Our Interpretation Is ...!
As A Matter Of Convenience!
Etc. Etc. Etc.

Policy Statements Are Full Of Loop-Holes
Available Only To The Issuer
And Always Leave Room ...!
... For "Improvement!"
... For Escape!

Honesty Do Not Contain Wiggle Room!

Honesty As A Policy Has No Wings
Because
Policy Lacks Honesty
AND
Has Hidden Arrows That Sting!

If Your Honesty Needs A Policy
To Give Your Words Strength
THEN
You, My Brother
My Sister
Will See Almighty God As Your Judge
At Length!

Policy Is All About Craft
Expediency!
Convenience!

Honesty Is Not About Convenience!
Honesty Is Not A Convenience!
Honesty
- Truth -
IS!

So ...

What Do We Really Know?!

We Know That Any "Honest Policy" That Changes
According To Time
Circumstance
Personnel
Administration
Prevailing Conditions
Is A Shifting-Sand Lie!

Honesty Aka Truth
Needs No Color Nor Spin
AND
Policy Masquerading As Honesty
Will Never Get For One
The Everlasting Win!

Remember The Word Of God!
This Is An Honest - Truthful - Statement:


The Lord: The Same Yesterday
Today 
AND 
Forever!


You Should Check Out
The Ten Commandments ...!

... And The Beatitudes!
John 3:16
1 John 1:9
Psalm 23
Psalm 46
Isaiah 55:6-7

And, Then ...

For An "Honest" Comparison
Take A Look At, Oh
I Don't Know ... 

... A Policy Of Insurance!
A Credit Card Agreement
The Tax Code
Your Refrigerator Warranty
Or ...

... The Patient Information Pamphlet 
Distributed With Medicine 
When The Pharmacist "Forgets" To Remove It!

Oh, Dear ...!

When You Put It That Way ... I ... I!

Look At It Like This:

Honesty AND Policy
Can Never
- Will Never -
Cooperate
So 
By Careful Consideration
With Godly Fear
AND
With Jesus Christ As Your Example
Let Strict Honesty
Be The Guide Of Your Life!

Policy
Is
A Convenient Conveyance!

***

Honesty
Is
Precious
Soul-Saving Cargo!

A Few Things!








Some Thing
Any Thing
Nothing
Good Thing
Bad Thing 
Every Thing
Fling D. Thing
Sing D. Thing
Ring D. Thing
AND
Wing D. Thing
Make Up A Segment Of The Grand Things Family!
The List Of Things Is Endess
AND
Their Lust For Trivial Things Is
Mind-boggling!

We Should Note That
Just Like Every Other Family
There Is
A Doctor
Who Believes He Can Mend Every Thing!
A Dentist
Who Loves To Dig Drill And Fill In Some Things!
A Priest 
Who Is Always Available To Hear Confessed Things!
A Psychiatrist 
Who Can Analyze All Things!
A Mommy 
Who Is Ever Ready To Show That 
She Equally Cares For All Things!
A Daddy 
Who Is The Boss
And Who Fires Shots At Misbehaving Things!
An Uncle Wingnut Thing
AND
An Aunty Tender Thing 
Who Is The Favored Friend To All 
And Every Thing She Can In Her Eyes See!

Would You Get To Your Point, Pretty Please?!

Well ...

Rancid Thing
Butt Up On Praying Thing
AND
What Rancid Thought
He Could Notch Up To A Fling Thing
Turned
Into A Very Serious Thing!

You Don't Say!
How Serious Was This Thing?!

Well, Let Me Tell You
That That Serious Thing
Became A Vital Thing
Became A Gargantuan Thing
That Ended In A Marriage
BUT
They Don't Wear Rings!

Rancid Thing Got Converted
AND
He Became A Refined Thing
A Reformed Thing
AND
Between Reformed
AND
Praying
They Petitioned God
About
Eternal Things
Casting Aside
Useless Things
Forbidden Things
Carnal Things
Selfish Things
AND
Finite Things
Preferring To Walk Tall
Straight And True
Humble Before The Master
Sharing Spiritual Things
With Me And You!

Powerful Things Happened, I See!

Amazingly
All Their Ordinary Skills
Proved Extraordinarily Useful Things
Which Quickly Produced Exquisitely Simple Things
Elegant Things
Soft Things
AND
Gentle Things
Which Caused Even Grumpy Things To Sing!
It Was Amazing And Beautiful Time
For All Things!

Ahem!
What Is The Purpose Of This Thing, Ms. Thing!

Just Testing Out
A Thing Or Two
To See If It Will Become Something Useful
If Not To Me
Perhaps To You!

Oh ... 
You Wanted To Say Some Thing
To Some Body
To See If Any Body
Would Holler Back At You!

Who Knows!
Maybe!
Perhaps!
Possibly!
Some Thing Like That!

Don't You Dare Start Thinging Again!


A Necessary Thing To Me
Is Prayer!

A Vital Thing To Me
Is The Gospel Of Jesus Christ To Share!

A Compassionate Thing To Me
Is To - In Truth - Share The Salvation Story!

AND

The Best Thing Of All 
Is To Say
That Man Can Share God's Glory
Which Is An Unfathomably Glorious Thing!

HAPPY SABBATH + The Real Jesus!









Jesus Christ 
Was Accused by His Own People
Who Refused His Blessing
AND
Abused and Misused Him
For They were Confused
By The Purpose Of His Earthly Mission!

His Abusers Hit Him 
AND
Spat on Him!
They Stripped Him of His Clothing
AND
They Whipped Him Without Compassion or Mercy!

Jesus Christ 
Viewed Them 
In Sorrow and Compassion
Not Hate - Never Hate -
For He Knew - That Without Him -
Their Fate Would Be The Same as
The Ingrate
The Liar
The Thief
The Murderer
The Arch Offender
Who  - Neither Loving Nor Tender -
Was Provoking Fallen Man
To Stand Grandly
AND
Grand-Stand
Against Heaven
AND
The Son Of Man
Who - Little Did They Know -
Was There Amongst Them
To Teach Them 
AND
To Show Them 
How To Make Peace
AND
To Be Reconciled
To Almighty God!

They'd Read The Prophets!
They'd Listened To The Priests!
The'd Heard The Words
BUT
They Didn't Understand In The Least
For They Wanted A Warrior
To Get Them Earthly Power
AND
Earthly Peace
AND
Provide For Them
The Ultimate In Roman Relief!

That Real Jesus 
WAS
The Real King 
The Real Redeemer
AND
The Real Christ
Who Brought The Real Blessing
AND
The  Real Sword
The True Word Of The Lord
To Teach The People
The Undefiled Way
BUT
Those Unbelieving
Instead They Did Say:

"Possessed of A Demon!"
"NO LOVE!"                 "Liar!"
"BEELZEBUB!"
     "NO LOVE!"           "Liar!"
            "SON OF GOD?! Really?!?"
       "Liar!"                  "NO LOVE"
                "NO LOVE!"    
"SABBATH-BREAKER!"                                                     "NO LOVE!" 
          "Liar!"           "BLASPHEMER!" 
"KILL HIM!"                 "Liar!"
"NO LOVE!"    "Liar!"    "NO LOVE!"
            "Liar!"
      "CRUCIFY HIM!"       "NO LOVE!"
"Liar!"     "NO LOVE"    "NO LOVE"
      "NO LOVE!"      "KILL HIM!" 
"Liar!"           "Liar!"            "Liar!"           "Liar!"            "NO LOVE!"


They Took Off Their Kid Gloves
AND
Using Roman Hammer
Roman Might
AND
Roman Spikes
Ushered 
The King Of Creation
Into Darkest Night!

BUT ...

The True Vine Was Not Ex-planted
AND
The Dead King Lives!

The Lion of Judah Roars
AND
The Son of David Reigns!

The Judgment Is Set
AND
The Lamb's Books Are All Open!

AND

For Real Life!
OR
For Real Death!
IS
The Decision 
Only Man Himself Can Make
No Matter The Manner
Of The Words Of The Fake!



THE SAVIOR
   
IS

STILL CALLING!

Will YOU His Offer Of Mercy Take?!

*******


The Lord Of Light

Made The Way 

Through The Darkness

To GIVE 

The Holy People

Eternal Life!

*******



The King Eternal 

IS 

RETURNING 

One Day!

NO MORE A HELPLESS BABY!

NO MORE BROKEN ON A CROSS!

THE KING TRIUMPHANT

IS

COMING 

GLORIOUSLY

VICTORIOUSLY

WITH 

ALL THE HOSTS OF HEAVEN

ON 

A HEAVENLY WHITE HORSE!!

*******

Are YOU Washed 

and 

Ready

So That For 

YOUR OWN SIN

YOU Won't Have The Bill To Pay?
