VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Present Pleasurable Participation ... In Sin!?!

 Actually, It Is Quite Simple! 

Jesus Christ Died To Save His People From Their Sins! 

Come On Now, Letsi! 

There Has To Be More To It Than That! 

Who Are His People!?!

Mankind! 

All Of Mankind Is His People Because He Made Man! 

He Did Not Make Christians! 

He Calls Mankind To Be Christ's Followers! 

We Were First Called Christians At Antioch! 

Don't Change The Subject, Jarvis! 

Very Well, Morley! 

Jesus Christ Died To Save His People From The Penalty

The Power, And Thank You, Jesus, The Presence Of Sin! 

What Did You Say Was The Penalty For Sin, Letsi!?! 

The Scriptures Say That The Penalty Aka The Paycheck 

Aka The Wages Of Sin Is Death! 

But Don't Lose Hope, Though! 

Almighty God Added On Some Really Good News! 

By The Apostle Paul In His Letter To The Church At Rome

He Said In Chapter 6 Verse 23: 

"...  But The Gift Of God Is Eternal Life

Through Jesus Christ Our Lord!" 

You Got Anything Else To Sweeten The Pot!?!

After All, If I'm To Give Up The Pleasures Of Sin That

I Have Enjoyed For Such A Long Season

Something Much Better Has Truly Got To Replace It! 

Hear, Hear, Grabby! 

We Can't Forget Having Heard That Seldom Comes A Better 

So Give Us Something Solid, Something That

Can't Be Beaten For Its Astronomical Benefits! 

Very Well, Lindry! 

Would Being Free From The Power Of Sin Be To Your Liking 

For Your Surely Eternal Benefit!?! 

Candy, If Tomorrow Ain't Promised

How Come You Promising Me An Eternal Benefit!?! 

I'm Not Promising You Anything, Lindry! 

The Lord Jesus, He Who Inhabits Eternity

Is The One Promising You The Eternal Benefit Because Of 

The Spilling Of His Blood Known Innocent! 

For This We Harken Back To The Lord Jesus Christ 

Dying On The Cross So That We Might Live! 

Wouldn't It Be Lovely To Know, Blessed To Embrace 

The Fact That Sin, With A Known Expiration Date 

Which Is Beyond Our Lifespan Should Time Tarry

Can No Longer Put Its Defiling Hooks Into Your Nostrils 

And Drag You Behind It To Do Everything That 

The Lord Says "Don't!?!" 

Yes, It Would, Kandy Kannit, But ... Taking A Command From 

The Book You Are Always So Efficiently Quoting: 

"In The Presence

Of

Two Or Three Witnesses

Let A Matter Be Established!" 

Well, Lindry, We Have Established The Matter! 

You Have Received Two Witnesses! 

Well, Ms. Kannit, I Am Pulling Rank On You! 

I'm The Buyer And You Want Me To Buy What You Are Selling 

So I Am Demanding, Yes, Demanding

A Third Witness As Complete Proof Of The Concept! 

What Else You Got!?! 

Very Well, Lindry, We Will Give You A Third Witness!?! 

You Want To Take This One, Massey!?! 

I Don't Mind If I Do, Kandy! 

Mr. Lindry, Outside Of Your Present Pleasant Participation In Sin

How Do You Feel About People Boldly Participating In Sin 

Around You And Your Loved Ones!?! 

Mr. Massey, I Will Honestly Tell You That 

Having People Engaging In And With Sin

And With Patently Obvious Enjoyment ... If You Can Call It That 

Given The Husks That They Become

And The Blood-Curdling Sounds Of Grief

And The Ungodly Screams Of Pain

And The Reports Of What Can Only Be Termed 

As Demonic Acts And Activities

I Would With All Sincerity Love To Be Removed 

From The Presence Of Sin And Sinfulness! 

It Is Interesting That You Say That, Mr. Lindry! 

Would You Care To Extend That Equation 

And Seek To Have Your Sin-Enjoying Presence 

Removed From The Vicinity Of Other Clean-Living People As Well!?! 

Wait, Wait, Wait! 

I'm Waiting, Mr. Lindry! 

Wait ... Hmmm ... But ... Ahhh ... Uh, Huh ... 

Wow ... I Don't Believe It, Mr. Massey! 

What Is It That You Don't Believe, Mr. Lindry! 

Massey, Call Me Lindry! 

Mr. Lindry Is My Gramps! 

Massey, I Am A Hypocrite, Plain As Day, Simple As Syrup! 

I Am Getting A Glimmer Of Light 

So I Invite You To Pull Back The Heavy Curtains Of Ignorance 

And Cast Illumination Into The Dark Room In The House Of My Mind! 

Lindry, I Gladly Take Up Your Offer! 

Your Third Witness Is Our Lord Jesus Dying At Calvary

Being Made A Curse For Us 

To Remove Us From The Very Presence Of Sin! 

No More Satan And His Horde Whispering To Our Sin-Loving Self 

Encouraging Us To Sin Against Almighty God

Against Our Fellow Man And Against Our Own Souls

Against Who We Were Created To Be ... Pure

In The Sight Of God And In The Presence Of 

The Witnesses Who Are Our Brethren! 

Massey!?! 

Yes, Lindry!?! 

I'm Done Running! 

Hallelujah, Jesus! 

AMEN!! 

Peace Be Upon You! 

Oh, Jesus, I Have Promised ...!

A Favored Hymn From Childhood Days 

Is 

One Very Pertinent For Us Committed Christians 

During These Days Which Are Called Sin's Glory Days! 

"Oh, Jesus I Have Promised, To Serve Thee To The End!

Be Thou Forever Near Me, My Master And My Friend!

I Will Not Fear The Battle, If Thou Art By My Side

Nor Wander From The Pathway, If Thou Wilt Be My Guide!"

Beloved, 

The Wicked Will Rage

And 

The Ragers Will Fade 

Because 

Jesus Christ Is The King Eternal 

And 

His Kingdom Will Stand Forever 

In The Peaceful, Joy-Filled, Glade! 

Let Us Remind Ourselves Time And Again That 

Those Who Are For Us 

Are More Than Those Who Are Against Us 

And

Never, Ever, Ever Forget That 

The Pleasures Of Sin Are But For A Season! 

Dear Ones, 

With Our Hands In Our Father's Hands By Faith And With Prayer

With Our Diligently Following In The Master's Foot-Prints

With Our Following The Word Of The Great King 

Through Seeing, Understanding, Accepting

And 

Doing As He Gently Bids Us

Our Service To Our Lord Becomes A Way Of Life For Us 

And

Decidedly Keeps Us Out Of The Clutches Of Satan, King Fraud! 

Jesus Christ Is Above, Before, Behind, And Beside Us: 

Take The Word Of Jesus With You 

And 

Stand With The Brave!

 Peace! 

Hell's Kitchen

On The Dark Side Of Life

There Is A Master-Servant Relationship! 

The Sadist Aka The Master 

Loves To Cause Humiliation 

And

Inflict Pain On The Masochist Aka The Servant 

And Thereby 

Finds Pleasure! 

We'll Call This Sadist 

Satan ... The Seller Of Sin And Its "Pleasures!" 

The Servant Aka The Sinner

Having Been Conditioned To Find Pleasure In Degradation

Seeks Out The Master To Get A Fix To Feel Alive

And 

To Hear That They're Loved

Even Though They Know That It's A Lie! 

Beloved, 

Living For Self 

Allows Satan To Turn Us Into Masochists 

Whom He Controls With Things Known Hurtful 

To Get Thrills Known Painful 

Which Lead To Destinations Known Deadly! 

We Can Do Better Than This 

And So 

I Present To You Jesus Christ The King

The True Master

Who Is The Real Lover Of Your Soul 

Who Took Into Himself The Humiliation

Degradation

And 

Death That Is Really Your Own 

So That You Don't Have To Eat At Hell's Kitchen 

Where The Chef De Cuisine 

Is 

That Same Satan

The Father Of Lies

The Murderer

And 

The Dealer Of Damnation To All Who Refuse 

Daily Faith

Sure Salvation

Free Mercy

And 

Sufficient Grace 

Which Are Gifted To All Who Sacrifice Self 

On The Altar Of Life In Christ 

Where Pardon For Sin 

And 

Peace That Endureth 

Are Guaranteed By The Holy God! 

Cleansing Is In The Blood Of The True Master 

Who Is Also Master Of The Winds Of Strife 

And 

The Waves Of Despair: 

He Knows Your Name And Nature 

And

Desires To Bless You 

No Matter How Low You've Fallen! 

Dare To Trust Him!

Change Sides: 

Choose Salvation! 

Salvation Satisfies The Sin-Sick Soul!

Desire Deliverance 

And 

Ditch Death! 

Jesus Christ, The Life Of Every Man, Saves! 

Peace! 

Prospering By Iniquity!?!

Unfair "Gains" Don't Prosper!
In The Past ... They Didn't
In The Present ... They Don't
In The Future ... They Won't
And
All Those "Prospering" By Iniquity
May Want To Step Into The Pages Of
Almighty God's Living Word Present-Truth Book!

The "Pleasures" Of Sin
Only Ever Last For The Merest Season!
They Embolden The Profligate!
They Please The Insensate
And
They Cause Satan ... Triumphant
- In Creating Another Recalcitrant -
To Pen In His Personal Calendar

"Another Fool

... For The Damnation Date!"

The Abominable Life "Style"
Is 
Like One Sitting In Wet Clothes
On The Electric Chair
Where The Only Options Are To Repent
And 
Get A Reprieve From The One On High
Or
Be Condemned By The Preponderance Of The Evidence
In The  Perfect Law Of Liberty
And
With The Flick Of The Controlling Switch
You Are Left To Fry To Die!

A Human Indulging In Idolatry
Is
Like A Lawyer Having Himself For A Client!
With The Pure Evidence Of Plain Knowledge
The Thrill Doesn't Last
And
The "Profit"  Doesn't Profit
And
Into The Toilet ... In The Despair Of Disgust
Self-Serving Is Quickly Cast! 

Know Your Role
Take Your Place ...

Brethren,

Please Do Not Be Like Satan 
Who Chose Not To Keep His Place 
And 
Instead Of Being Preserved
He Is Reserved For Final Judgment! 

We Keep Our Place 
When We Choose To Be Like The Lord Christ 
In What We Think, Say 
And 
Being Heavenly Minded
Willing, Wisely, Do! 

Remember, Remember
Don't Ever Forget ...

The Only Thing That A Man Takes From This World 
Is 
His Character
And 
In The Great Day Of Small Things
Only The Person With The Fire-Proof Character 
Aka The Character Of Jesus Christ 
Shall Be Able To Stand Before The Lord 
In Perfect Peace And Joy:
There Is No Blessing For Users Of
The Demonic Device!

Deny Self 
And 
Reject Sin And Satan
And 
Accept The Savior 
And 
His Free Gift Of Salvation 
And 
Eternal Blessings Are Yours To Enjoy!
This Is Not A Truth Enjoying A Stretching!

Walk Wisely

And

Live A Holy Life! 

Jesus Christ Is Our Peace
And
He Gives That Without Alloy!
Live For Him
And
Run A Victorious Race Against Sin
And
In The Fullness Of Time
You Shall Hear The Commendation:

"Well Done, Good And Faithful Servant!

Enter Into The Joy Of Thy Lord!" 

The Scripture-Reading Satan

When God Gave To Man
The Written Scriptures
Satan
The Deceitful One
Had Himself A Good Read
AND
Always Being Alert
To Knowing How
When Where
Who To Hurt
Thought
That Against The God Of Creation
He Had The Winning
Can't Lose
Impossible To Fail
Head Start!

Satan Took And Takes Particular Pleasure
In The Misrepresentation
Of The Character
Of The God 
Who Saves All!

Satan Took And Takes Malicious Pride
In MisInterpreting
What The Prophecies Should Mean!
Oh, How He Does Lie!

Today ...

Satan Takes Great Pride
In Selling Mankind
On How To Feel About His Maker
AND
Rejoices
In Performing Evil Acts
Egregious
Against The People Faithful
Which
- To Their Persons -
Are Often Sure To Be Fatal!
He Pours Out Bile With A Big Ladle!

Satan Tried
To Kill God
In The Person Of Christ Jesus

AND
He Thought He'd Finally Succeded
When Christ Was Sealed
In The Stony
The Cold
The End-To-Man Grave
Obviously Forgetting
Ignoring
Incapable Of Believing
The Words Of Christ Himself
Which Said:

I Lay My Life Down!

No One Takes It From Me!

I Shall Take It Back Up!

I Will Rise Again!

The Stone Sealing The Grave ... Rolled Away!

The Father Had Called To His Son:

Son! It Is Time To Get Up!

AND
God's Son
Being Eternally Obedient
Said To His Father:

Here I Am, Father!
I Am Arisen!
I Am Standing Up!

Brethren ...

Never Believe A Licensed Liar
Aka Satan
The Devil
The Dragon
The Accuser Of The Brethren
The Enemy Of All Men
For
He Is A Raging Lion
Who Knows
He Cannot Go Back Home
AND
In The Scorched Earth Strategy
Takes Pleasure
In Destroying The Souls Of Men
To Get Himself An Army
Of Hating-God
Despising-Truth
Presumptuous Sinners
Many Enormously Numbered
As Misfits
Wayward
Aimless
Poisoned-Tongued
Blackhearted
Friendless
Fatal-Minded
Death-Oriented
Suicidally-Murderous
Directionless
Youth!
Read The Newspapers!
That Is God's Truth!

Satan Practices
Performs Well
The Kill-Society Ploy:

Kill The Spirit!
Inflame The Will!
Cutoff The Way Of Escape!
Feed Them The Death Pill
As The-Cure-For-All
AND
Yell 
"Fire!"
In The Crowded Concert Hall
AND THEN
He Steps Back
AND
Watches
How The Saps
AND
The Suckers
Triggered And Trapped
Energetically
Fall!

But, What Of ...?!

... His Response?!

Hail The Collapse!

And Then 
He Balls Out A Roaring Guffaw!

What Unmitigated Gall!

When One Has
No Thing To Lose
One Is Well Prepared
Others Truly To Abuse
ANDUncaring Of Consequences
Takes Pleasure In The Demise Of
Friend
Foe
Family
AND
Yes
The Lord Christ!

But, Christ Did Arise!

Yes, Indeed! He Did!
AND
That
My Dear Brethren
Is The Key!
This Is How
We Will Satan
- In Our Lives -
Kill!

Stand Firm Behind Jesus!
Put Jesus Christ In Front!
Utter The Thus It Is Written...!

... Give Satan The Business!

... Give Him God's Straight Word!

Send Satan Back To The Condemned Herd

By Speaking The Only Living Word

For

There Is Power In The Word's Words!

Brethren, 
I Beseech You, Please!
Let Your Faith In The Word
Be Lived!
Let Your Love For The Lord Christ
Be Well And Truly Heard!
Live The Word, Brethren!
Live The Word!

Our God Is Indeed In Control!
Let His Living Word Be Heard!
