Open Your Eyes!

There Is No Man So Blind As He That 

Chooses Out Of The Gross Pride In His Heart That 

He Will Not See! 

Question Is

What Is There So Frightening To Look Upon

To Observe Intently

To Learn From By Clear Sight That 

The Willfully Blind One Refuses To Look Upon It!?! 

Beloved, 

If We Are Honest About Our Own Selves

Our Own Experiences

We Must Answer, Truth! 

Truth 

Is 

So Plain, Complex, Soft, Hard, Light, Dark

Sweet, Sour, Beautiful

And 

So Ugly That Those Of Us Who Walk Self-Assured

Self-Centered

And 

Self-Justified In Our Own Self-Worship 

Cannot, Will Not, Accept That

It Is Only By Fully Trusting Jesus Christ Who Is The Truth

Who Takes All Of Our Complex, Dark

Hard, Sour, Ugly Bits Into Himself 

And

Gives Us His Plain, Soft, Light

Sweet, Beautiful Wholeness That 

We Will Walk Without Blinkers And Scales 

Obscuring Aka Blinding Our Vision! 

Self-Worship Is Idolatry! 

Idolatry Is Sin! 

Willful Blindness 

Is 

Presumptuous Sin Aka Planned Sin: 

Don't Do It! 

Let's Stop With The Can't-Profit Folly Of Willful Blindness! 

Open Your Eyes! 

Accept The Plain Truth

And 

See The Light! 

Jesus Christ The Righteous

The Word Of God 

The Light That Points The Way Home

Is

The Truth:

Hear Him! 

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: PLAIN TRUTH: Weaponized Ambiguity!?!

 

The Word Of The Lord Jesus Who Loves Us

And 

Whose Love We Gladly Return

Is 

Plain Truth ... Our Sure Defence! 

It Is Not Language Rife With Weaponized Ambiguity 

Aka Language Subject To Personal Interpretation

Leading One To Soul Damnation! 

Our God ... The Living Holy Eternal Faithful God Of Grace

Is 

The God Of Order ... Not Confusion 

And 

All Who Worship Him Through Obedience

Willing Service

Prayer And Praise 

Must Do So According To His Word! 

Our Lord Christ Does Not Mutter Nor Stutter! 

Beloved, 

We Are Living In Perilous Times 

And 

We, Each, Need To Know Personally ... For Our Own Selves

What The Lord Himself 

Is 

Saying To Us! 

This Is Not The Time To Be Lazy Christians 

Or Self-Deceived Readers

Or Drunken Gluttinous Feeders On Filth!

This Is Not The Time To Be Fence-Jockeys

Or Range-Riders! 

Now Is The Time To Be Rooted And Grounded

In Truth For The Age

So Let Us Do Our Due Diligence:

Read Your King James Bible!

Lovingly Turn To 

And 

Prayerfully Meditate On The Given Word

On The Chosen Page! 

Let Us Dare, By Grace, To Expose Our Pet Sins 

And 

Unholy Character Flaws 

To The Clear, Cutting, Living Word Of Almighty God 

And 

Cease Resting Your Soul's Salvation 

On The Corrupt "Free-Pass" Word That Traditionally Comes Of 

"Pastor ... Priest ... Pope ... Said!" 

Be Wary And Be Aware ... 

Beware Of False Shepherds

False Prophets 

And 

BrazenlyWicked Stewards 

Who Work For The Enemy Of Souls

And

Who Intentionally Preach, Teach 

And 

Promote 

And

Live Lives Which Are Contrary To Truth

Aka In Direct Opposition To The Preserved Word Of 

The Unchanging God Of Grace! 

Jesus Christ - The King - Alone

Is Judge Of All Flesh!

Brethren, Beloved 

Buy Aggressively

Love Lustily

Imbibe Greedily

And 

Widely Share The Plain Truth That Points Us To 

And 

Prepares Us To Meet Our Lord Jesus ... In Perfect Peace! 

Peace

With

The Living God 

Is

Precious Gold

Tried In The Fire Seven Times:

Don't Settle For Dirty Dirt!

 

Consistent Life, Waffler And Straddler ...!

Consistent Life Is Caring!
Consistent Life Is A Key!
Consistent Life Is Steady On The Foot
And
Does Not For Any Created Being
Shift Focus
To Get Off The Enemy's Cruel Hooks!

Good For Him! He Must Be Real Strong!

Consistent Life Is An Idiot
And The Only Key I Desire Or Need Is
The Key To My Creature Comforts!

What Did You Say Your Name Is?!

I'm Waffler, And This Is My Brother, Straddler!

Gracious!
I've Heard About You Guys!
You're Famously Infamous!

I Guess You've Seen Our Work!

Yes, I've Seen Your Work
And
You're Both Very Bad Examples!
You Should Be Ashamed Of Yourselves!

Ashamed!?!
Of What!?!

You Should Be Ashamed 
For Encouraging Gullible People
To Not Hold A Position
Because It Will Be Uncomfortable
Unpopular
Unappealing
Of No Personal Financial Benefit
And Things Of That Ilk!

Is There Anything At All
That You Will Stand Firmly For Or Upon!?!

Can't Say!
Give Me An Idea
And I'll Give An Answer!

Let's Try The Plain Truth!

How Much Are You Paying!?!

Who Stands To Gain?!
Will I Be Scoring Brownie Points?!
Will It Elevate My Name?!

Lord, Help Us!

You, Two, Are Incorrigible!

We Know!

Well, I Know That Consistent Life Is To Be Applauded!
Consistent Life Is A Steady Walker!
Consistent Life Lives For The Lord!
Consistent Life Will Gain The Heavenly Award
Because
Consistent Life Is At One With The Holy God!

Consistent Life Is Boring!
His Life Is Truly Bland!
He Does Not Know How To Have A Good Time
And We Can't Even Get Him To Hang Out With Us ...!

... Or Even With Us To Pick A Lime

Or, Just For A Day

To Do A Powder And Go On The Lam!

Obviously, That's Because Consistent Life Has Morals!
Consistent Life Lives By The Eternal Plan!
Consistent Life Does Not With The World Curry Favor
And
Best Of All

He Does Not Find The Will To Sin
To Be Of A Sweet Savor!

He Doesn't Know What He Is Missing!

A Lil' Sin Never Killed Anybody!

Is That Right?!

Sure Is!
It's Just Like A Lil' Piece Of Candy
Doesn't Give One A Rotten Tooth!

Wait A Minute, Though!
Who Are You?!
And Why Are You So Gung Ho Over Consistent Life?!
Are You His Press Agent?!

No!
I'm Holy Living, His Mother!

No Wonder He Acts So Uptight
Always Having To Do Right
Walk Right
Live Right
Speak Right
Walk In The Light
Staying Out Of The Dark Night!

Since He Is Doing All That Is Good And Right
What Do You Two Have To Say For Yourselves?!

Whatever Get's Us Gain And Gold!

So, You're Saying That You Have Your Souls Sold Out?!

Whaaat!?!
Who Said Anything About Selling Souls?!
Straddler, Did You Do That?!

Not Me!
Waffler?!

Me Neither!

This Is Mighty Interesting!
A Straddler And
The Waffler
Who Cannot For Anything Good Firmly Stand
And
Who Give Willing Allegiance To The Hand
That Is Not The Holy Son Of God
The Redeeming Son Of Man!

Not To Be Rude, But
Woman!
What Are You Talking About?!

A Double-Minded Man

Is Unstable In His Ways!

He Can't Be Trusted! 

He Is Like The Sea Tossed By The Storm Wind

And

He Will Receive Nothing From The Lord

So In His Condition

He Shouldn't Even Think To Ask! 

Lady, We Asked You A Question! 

What's With The Selling Souls Jibe!?!

It's No Jibe, Fellows!

It's A Statement Of Fact!

You Choose Not To Walk As Those Wise

And, Obviously

Are Creatures Called The Demonic Device!

You Lift Up The Liar! 

You Denigrate The Good Lord

And

Your Actions Say You Walk With Satan

And, That

In Lively Accord!

I Don't Know No Satan!

But You're On His Pay-Book!

I DON'T Know No Satan!

How Interesting, Since

You're Playing By His Play-Book!

What Foolishness You're Talking!

To Them That Perish

Truth Is Foolishness!

Ma'am!?!

Please Give Us A Straight Answer!

If You Are Not Walking And Working For The Lord

You're Walking 
And 
Working For The Devil!

But We Didn't Sign Up To Do 
No Low Mean Office For The Devil!

You May Not Have Said It

In Too Many Words

But You're Doing Vile And Gross Deeds

And

If You Do Not Change Your Sinful Ways

You Shall Damnation's Fire Feed!

But, But, We're Not That Bad!

We Just Have A Need For Speed! 

You Are Doing Bad Things

Leading People Astray

And

Yourselves 

Walk In The Wrong Way! 

Waffler!?! 

Yes, Straddler!?! 

I Think I'm Going To Be Sick!

You May Think

But I Know For Sure That

I'm Going To Be Sick!

Consistent Life's Mommy

Will You Help Us Get Clean!?!

You've Come To The Right Person

If You Really Want

A Holy Life!

It's Time To Stop Playing Charades

And

Belly Up To The Cross

Or Be Forever Lost!

We'll Do It!

What's Our First Task!?!

Confess Your Sin To God

In The Name Of Jesus Christ

And

Repent Of Your Wicked Ways And Evil Deeds

And

Take A Christ-Like Position 

And .... Hold It!

Deny That Base Liar Satan

Trust And Obey Jesus

And

Willingly, Faithfully, Go Where He Leads!

And ... 

In The Name That Is Holy

Take Name, Gain, Gold And Glory

Off The Throne Of Your Heart!

Jesus Christ Is Gain! 

Jesus Christ Is Glory! 

Jesus Christ Is Profit
And

Gives Heavenly Gold

And

No One Faithful Suffers Loss

If

Jesus Christ 
Is 
His All

And

The Things Of This World Are

Given The Toss!

Not To Be Nosy Or Anything
But, Consistent Life's Mommy 

If You Are Holy Living

What Is His Daddy's Name!

His Father Is Glory N. D. Cross

Son Of Walk N. Holy

Son Of D. Lords Our Rock

Son Of Look Up N. Live

Son Of Trust N. Obey

Son Of Faith First N. Last!

Wait A Minute! 

I'm Seeing Something Here! 

Give Me A Minute! 

I Think I've Got It! 

Straddler Watson!?! 

Yes, Sherlock Waffler!

Mummy Will Finally Be Proud Of Us Today! 

Listen To This ... 

With Faith First. Last

Fallen Man Can Trust N. Obey God! 

Take Time To Look Up N. Live!

D. Lord's Our Rock!

By Walk N. Holy

You Show That You Glory N. D. Cross!

Holy Living Is Modeled 

And Is Apparent To Onlookers

When You Live A Consistent Life!

Wow! I Believe You're Right!
Mummy Will Be Glad To Know That
We Have Finally Gained Insight!

Indeed!

Who Is Your Mummy, Boys!?!

Leaning On Jesus!

I Know Her! A Good Woman Indeed!
Please Do Your Best
And
Walk Right
And
Avoid Damnation's Dark Night!

Thanks, Kindly, Consistent Life's Mummy!

We Sincerely Appreciate You!

Blessings, Boys!
Blessings Be Upon You!

 

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Christian Frogge

There Was Nice Christian Named Frogge
Who Maintained Record Of His Church Life In A Log
He Considered Himself A Great Champion For God
Right There
In Belief Land Creeks And Bogs!

Life Was Good!
Health Was Good!
AND
Since He Had Very Few Chores
He Had Time To Visit The Neighbors 
All Around
AND
Up And Down
Along The Shore!

It Must Be Said
That It Was Because Of These Visits
Door To Door
That He Came To Suspect
That His Simple Church Life
Was Nothing But A Flaming Great Bore!

Christian Frogge 
During His Last Visit
Church Door To Church Door
Caught a Glimpse
A Chance To See
The New Worship
That Was Capturing Everybody!

The New Worship
Was Loud
Exciting
Filled With Broadway Lights
AND
Even Had Something Called
"Test!"
To Test Your Strength Of Will
AND
Your Belief
In The Power And Working Of Almighty God!

NOW ...

Christian Frogge Thought To Himself:

Why Not?!
I Trust In God
So Why Not Show
What I've Got?!
My God Is Real!
His Power Cannot Fail
So When The Church Hot 
Holds Their Next Convocation
I Am Going To Throw In My Lot!

NOW ...

It Must Be Said
That Talk Was Real Hot Around De Town
About The Peddler
The Piper
AND
The Restaurant Chef
Who Were The Powers Behind
The Experiencing God Church!

It Was Said ...

GOSSIP ALERT!!

That Wherever They Opened A Church
Ahem ... Restaurant ...
Cough!
Cough!
The Population In The Particular Bog
Took A Tumbling Fall!

Another NOW Coming Up!

NOW ...

Christian Frogge Had An Aunty Named Pammy
Who Had Been Known
Upon Occasion
To Get Somewhat Scrap Happy!
She Was Old
Because She Was Wise!
She Had Lived Long
Because She Checked The Old Record Book
Which Detailed D. Devil Ish's Deceptions
To Get Meat
For He 5-Star Fr. Ogge Leg Pies!

Aunty Pammy Didn't Hold She Mout'!
She Preach She Sermon
AND
She Let De Trut' Hang Out
AND
Christian Frogge's Long Tongue
Was Stuck Inside
After Hanging Outside
He Big Mout'!

To Ram Home The Truth
Of Her Not Tall Tale
Aunty Pammy Took Christian
To A Beautiful Lily Pad Glade
Owned And Operated
By Detective Angela aka "Angel" Slade
Who Was Tasked With The Task
Of Being The Bogs' Looking Glass
To Warn The Frogge's
When D. Devil Ish
Is On The War Path!

The Schtick That D. Devil Ish Used
Was As Old As Time!
It Held Not A Single Thing New!
He Knew The Frogge People's Greed
AND
He Was Au Fait With Their Cherished Creed!

D. Devil Ish 
Always Told
How He Could Fix Needs
AND
He Offered Something For Nothing
A Light Show
AND
An Experience Like No Other
IF
You Willingly Put Your Toes
In The Soothing Cold Water
In The Vat
Over The Hollow
Operated By Steam-Punk Catattack
A Well-Known Wicked And Shallow Fellow!

With Great Authority
Detective Angel Slade
Takes Up The Tale:

Pied Piper Peter Plays
A Soul-Mesmerizing Tune!

The Peddler
Preaches
About A Cure
For All That Assails
AND
He Offers Up A Solution
That He Says
Can In No Way
Ever Fail!

A Signal Is Transmitted
AND
On Cue
Pied Piper Peter Plays
An Even More Enthrallingly Mesmerizing Tune
AND
Locked Up In The Power
People Like
Ceedee Christian
Whatta Christian
Fansi Christian
Christian N. Deed
AND
Itsa Christian
The Old Stalwarts
Found Their Back Legs
Pushing Off!

Plop!
In The Pot Vat!
The Chef De Partie Donned His Hat!
AND
The Peddler Preacher Feign Kept Selling
Preaching:

This Way Be The Spice
That Ends Your Shallow Existence!

As That Pied Piper Peter
His Thrilling Music Played
Smoke Came Out!
Smoke From Under The Vat Rose Up!
Light Struck Previously Unseen Mirrors!
Anticipating Hearts Thumped
AND
The Party Chef
The Chef De Partie
Tossed Mixed Salts In The Cold Water
AND
A Handful Of Black Pepper 
Woosh!
Up In The Air!

Achoo! Achoo!
Achoo! Achoo Times Two!
Splash!
Bums Up!
Heads Down In Water
Clearing Noses
Washing Eyes
Up For A Breath
AND
Still
Peddlar Preacher Feign Sold His Wares
As Pied Piper Peter Posing Prettily Prettily Played:

Prove Your Faith!
Do Your Battle
Even If Fire Burns At Your Feet!
Win A Victory!
By God
If Your Legs Don't Work
Cut Them Off!
The New Ones To You
Will Be At No Cost!

Bring The Knives!
Play That Mellow Music, Piper!
Keep These Frogge's Looking Alive!

This Is Your Big Test Of Faith!
Remember The Good Book Says
If Your Legs Offend You
READYYYY FOR IT?!
Cut Them OFF!!

It Is Better To Enter The Kingdom 
Maimed
Than To Stand Before God
Whole And Ashamed!

... And That 
Christain Frogge
Is Why You See
These Exhibits Here Box-Framed
As A Cautionary Tale
Not To Follow The Multitude
Purportedly To Test God
AND
Yet And Still Ending Up
Dying In Shame
Robbed Of Your Legs
Your Transport Engine Of Escape!

Cold Water Soothes!

Warm Water Relaxes!

Hot Water Burns!

AND

Boiling Water Kills!

Everything That Glitters Is Not Gold
AND
Things That Seem Wonderfully Thrilling
Can Will Rob You Of Your Very Own Soul!

Trust God At His Word!
Don't Look To The Gospel For Cheap Thrills!
Learn Of 
AND
Know That Truth Completely Fills
AND
Stop Harkening To The Siren's Song
That Assuredly The Carnal Soul Fills!

The Devil
- That Murderer -
Is The Liar
Looking For A Choir Of Voices
To Sing His Rebellious i-Tune!
He Knows That Time Is Late
So Bate And Switch
Is How He Gets Choir Members
To Share His Known Fate!

Take The Time
To Personally Know The Lord
AND
Learn How The Devil 
- Through Deception -
Operates
So That When He Shows Up
He Can't Slow You Up
With Pied Piper Songs
Turning Your Head From God
So That Into Damnation
You'll Fall Headlong!
