VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Temptation And Self-Deception!






Being Tempted Is Not Sin! 
Yielding To Temptation 
Is 
Sin! 
Think Carefully About This Difference! 

How Hungry Are You For Fame And Fortune!?! 

Would You Stoop Down Low 
To Hurt Someone You Dearly Love 
To Acquire Money, Power, Privilege, And Prestige!?! 

Would You Go As Far As Judas Iscariot!?! 

Would You Be So Self-Deceived As To Believe That 
You Could Twist The All-Knowing, Eternal, God's Hands 
To "Make" Him Do What You Want 
So That You Would Have 
Your Deceitful Heart's Rotten Desires!?! 

Beloved, 

A Barking Bird Is Not A Dog 
And 
Raising Up Your Own God 
Bearing The Name Self Or Other
Does Not Make You The Creator God!

Power Trips Fail
For
Lack Of Power!

Be Warned ... 

Be Not As The Betrayer 
Who Sold Thick Gold To Buy Thin Silver!
 
Please Do Not ... Under Any Circumstance 
Become Filled With The Sense That 
Being Close To Your Creator Makes You His Surrogate
- His Stand-In -
To Do As You Please! 

Self-Deception
Is
An Aphrodisiac!


The Truth Is That 
Temptations Are Normal 
Aka Common To Man

And

We ... Mortal Beings 
Are Called To Walk The Lonesome Road 
By Grace, Through Faith! 
We Are Not Alone! 

We Are Not Called 
To Build Castles In The Sand! 

We Are Called 
To Get Ourselves To The Rock Of Our Salvation
To Him Who Is The Way Home
The Truth That Points, Guides And Delivers Us Home
The Light That Clearly Shows The Path Of Righteousness
Our Shelter In The Times Of Storm! 

Remember, Remember
Don't Ever Forget ...

Riches Rot! 
Power Poisons! 
Prestige Withers Away 
But
Jesus Christ Stands Eternal! 

Brethren, Beloved

Please Do Not Confuse Living In A Rich House 
With Being In The Heavenly Home: 
Earth Is Not Heaven! 
Aggressively Guard Your Heart! 
Pray Without Ceasing! 
Stay On The Upward Way!

Peace! 


Live
For
Jesus Christ
Alone!
