VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: The PEG!

 

Anybody Got A PEG!?! 

Gracy, What Can You Do With A Peg!?! 

Yes, Gracy, What Will You Do With A Single Peg!?! 

Mindy, Pandy, You Misunderstand!

I Am Not Asking About A Peg As In A Clothes Peg!

I Am Talking About The Capital PEG! 

Okaaay! 

So, Gracy Sweet Girl, What Exactly Is A Capital PEG!?! 

Glad You Asked, Jen-Jen! 

You Know When You Have "The Problem" 

And You Need Help Real Bad 

And You're At Your Wits' End 

And You Don't Know Whether You're Coming Or Going 

And You Can't Figure Out If You Should Stand Up Or Sit Down 

Like If Standing Isn't An Upper And Sitting Isn't A Downer!?! 

You Know, Right!?! 

Well, You've Been Praying But ...! 

... I Know That Feeling Very Well! 

Well, My Dear Ones, The Praying Is The Letter "P" 

But There Is No "E" and "G!" 

So, What's The "E" And "G!?!" 

Have You Ever Heard About That Lil' Thing That 

Everybody Needs To Succeed But Hates To Expend!?! 

Come On, Gracy! 

We All Know That One 

And I Had One Of Those Moments Today! 

I Had Laundry To Do, And I Was Hoping That It Would Do Itself 

Because "I Didn't Feel Like Expending The Effort!" 

People, We Have Got Ourselves A Strong "E!" 

Does Anybody Have Any Thoughts About What That 

Good Old "G" Could Be!?! 

Not A Clue! 

What About You, Mindy!?! 

Goose Eggs, Gracy! 

Here's A Free Clue: 

King James: Come Boldly! 

I Know, I Know! 

Yes, Jen-Jen! 

Come Boldly To The Throne Of Capital "G" For Grace! 

Very Good! 

So Our Capital PEG Starts Out With 

Our Faith First Calling Us To PRAY Without Ceasing 

While EXPENDING EFFORT To Do Those Things 

Which Almighty God Will Not Do For Us 

Because We Can Do Them For Ourselves

While Availing Ourselves Of The Invitation 

To Solicit The Throne Of Grace To Obtain Mercy 

AND GRACE To Help Us In Our Time Of Need! 

That Is Boss, Gracy! 

Can A Sister Borrow A PEG!?! 

That's A Hard "NO!" Mindy! 

Go Make Your Own! 

AMEN!!! 

Peace! 

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Just Stop It!?!

...  So He Told Her That

Whenever He Lifted His Arm Over His Head

It Hurt Really Badly

And Asked Her What To Do About It! 

He Went On To Say That She Told Him: 

"Stop Lifting Your Arm Over Your Head!" 

He Was Not Amused 

And Now He Refuses To Speak To Her Ever Again! 

What Do You Think, Abutte!?! 

My Dear Defray, I Don't Think

I Know That That Is The Typical Response

We All Give To The Good Lord 

When He Tells Us To Stop Doing What We Are Doing

Because It Is Hurting Us Really Badly! 

Excuse My Please!?! 

I Didn't Stutter, Defray! 

The Lord Told Us Not To Sin! 

He Told Us The Penalty For Sin! 

He Told Us What Happens To Us When We Sin

And

He Gives Us Faith, Strength, Grace, Mercy 

And

Hope For Help And Healing! 

You Know What Our Problem Is!?!

We Want The Lord To Do Our Heavy Lifting For Us

While Forgetting That We Must Expend Effort

Before We Can Expect Divine Help! 

Hold Up, Abutte!

What Effort Could We Possibly Expend First

Before We Receive Heaven's Help!?! 

Defray, How Could You, A Committed Christian

Have The Unmitigated Gall To Ask Me Such A Question!?! 

I Have The Unmitigated Gall, Abutte

Because I Don't Understand What You Are Asking Me!

Have You Ever Heard About That Blessing Called

Pray Without Ceasing!?! 

Of Course!

Who Hasn't!?!

You Would Be Surprised!

You Have A Sin, You Want To Get Rid Of It

And You, In Your Own Strength

Do The Thing In The Belief That

If You Do The Sin Enough

You Will Make Yourself Sick Aka Sick Of It

And You Wouldn't Want To Do It Again! 

Bad, Bad, Bad Really Bad Idea!

So What Should I Do For Myself, Abutte!?!

Stop Doing It By Going To The Lord In Prayer

Believing That The Lord Will Help You

By Asking Him To Help You

And Pray And Resist The Devil

And Pray Some More

And Sing A Song Praising The Lord For Answered Prayer

And Resist And Pray And Praise

And

Don't Forget To Give Thanks For Your Victory

As If You Are Already Victorious!

You Make It Sound Sooo Easy, Abutte!

It Is Hard Because It Is That Easy, Defray!

But You Just Turned It Around!?! 

So!?!

Do You Gain Muscle By Picking Up A Sheet Of Paper!?!

Of Course Not!

You Need Something A Smidge Beyond No Effort Required!

Okay!

When You Are Doing Heavy Lifting In The Gym

Don't You Have A Spotter

And Are Advised

And Encouraged

To Wear A Back-Brace!?! 

Of Course!

Everybody Knows That! 

So, Please Tell Me, Defray

In The Name Of Him Who Is Holy, Just, True, And Wise

Why You Would Face Sin

Without Your Back-Brace Aka The Lord Jesus

And Your Spotter Aka The Holy Spirit

And Your Moment By Moment Vitamins

Faith And Prayer, And Praise

And

The Fortifying Bread That 

Is 

The Infallible, Immutable Word Of The Living God!?! 

I Can't Answer That 

Because

I've Never Heard It Explained Like This Before, Debutte!

So What Are You Going To Do From Here On Out!?!

1800-Call-God Aka Pray ... And Without Ceasing!?!

You've Got It! 

And ...!?! 

Take My Vitamins And Eat My Bread

And ... Let Jesus Closely Embrace Me

Holding Me Straight Protecting Me 

And

Cooperate With The Holy Spirit

Who Will Lead Me Into All Truth

Who Sees My Drift, My Growth

My Stagnation And My Slippage

And 

Will Call Me Back Into Alignment With The Lord Of Life

Who Is Love And Light! 

Nicely Done, Defray!

Let's Do Business Again!?!

For Sure! 

Peace Be Upon You! 

 

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: PRAYER: Dear Lord, No Disrespect Intended ...!

PRAYER:

Dear Lord, 

Have Mercy And, As You Promised, Remember Me! 

Lord, No Disrespect Intended 

But All I Can Offer You Today Is 

Thank You For My Life

Bless Yo

 For My Hope

Praise You For My Peace 

And Say I Love You

I Trust You

I Believe You

And Ask You To Help Me To Not Be An Ingrate

For All Your Blessings Showered Upon Me

The Majority Of Which I Will Never Know This Side Of Eternity! 

Lord, I Need To See You

Just As The Human Heart Longs To See

The Form Of Its Beloved

And To Feel Their Presence

To Hug Them Close

Hold Their Hand

Touch Their Face

And To Gently Rest The Beloved's Head Against Their Chest

And Hear Their Heart Beating

And Know That The Object Of Their Love Is Home

Is With Them

And They, Themselves, Feel At Home!

With You, Lord, I Long To See And Be With You

Who Loves Me Best

Who Has Never Failed Me

Or Done Anything To Hurt Or Harm Me!

I Long To Be With You

The One Who Has Raised And Is Raising Me Up

From The Morass That Is The Sin Life With Its Myriad Sorrows

And Elevating Me To The Perfection Of Sanctification!

I Desire To See You As You See Me

And To Know You As You Know Me

Face To Face

And In All Your Glory

And Thence To Touch The Thorn-Inflicted Scars

On Your Forehead

To Caress The Mark Of The Gash

From The Evilly Efficient Spear-Thrust

Compliments Of The Roman Soldier Just Doing His Job

To Hear The Heart Of Him Whose Love To And For Me 

Permitted Him To Defy Death And Rob It Of Its Trophy

Which Made It Possible For Me To Love Him

To Die In And For Him

And Live To Say To Death, Our Last Enemy

"Where Is Your Sting, Where Is Your Victory!?!"

And To Know That My Victory Is The Overcomers' Crown

And To Live, Love, And Be With You

For The Ceaseless Ages Of Eternity:

Lord, Hold Me Fast!

I Long To Kiss Your Feet With Thanksgiving

And To Lay Your Nail-Scared Hands Against My Face

And Kiss Each Palm!

What A Wonderful Day It Will Be!

Lord, I Didn't Feel That I Had It In Me To Pray Today

But In Talking With You And Cooperating With Your Sweet Spirit

I Realize That I Have Poured Out My Heart:

It Feels ... It Is ... Liberating!

Thank You For Hearing And Answering My Prayer Of Faith!

I Love You With My Whole Heart!

I Will Speak With You Again A Little Later!

Be Pleased With Me!

Have Another Beautiful Day Blessing The Brethren

With Your Gift Of A Portion Of Your Faith And Unfailing Favor!

AMEN!!!

Brethren,

Let Us Please Seek To Remember That 

Prayer Is The Strength Of The Soul: 

Commune With The Lord Today ... Right Now! 

Peace! 

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Do You Know The Distance Between Heaven And Hell!?!

Psalm 4:1 KJV

Hear me when I call, O God of my righteousness: thou hast enlarged me when I was in distress; have mercy upon me, and hear my prayer.

Do You Know The Distance Between Heaven And Hell!?! 

Come On, Saury! 

No Created Being Can Know That Figure! 

Are You A Committed To Christ Christian, Baulher!?! 

Of Course, I Am! 

Well, I Am, Too, And I Can Definitively Tell You 

Without Fear Of Contradiction 

What is The Distance Between Heaven And Hell! 

Cheupse! 

You Always Coming With Some Nonsense To Fret People Spirit! 

I Am Serious, Celeyse! 

Oh, Really!?! 

How Could You, A Dust Bunny, Pardon My Harsh Language 

Know Something That Is Not Written Down In The Bible

And Thus Not Available For Our Education!?! 

Well, Sweet Girl, That Shows Your Lack

Your Saaad Lack, Of Bible Knowledge! 

Them's Fighting Words So You'd Better Take That Back! 

I Will Not Because I Am Right 

And You, Poor Dear, Are Wrong! 

Okay, Then, Know-It-All! 

Prove That You Are Right! 

With Pleasure! 

Philippians 4:6 ... Pray Without Ceasing! 

If, Let's Say, You Found Yourself Heading Toward Hell 

And You Don't Want To Go There

What Would You Do!?! 

That's Easy! 

I Would Be Praying And Pleading With Almighty God 

In The Name Of Jesus Christ The Righteous 

To Help Me To Not Go There! 

Celeyse, Did I Hear You Correctly When You Said

And I Quote: "I Would Be Praying ... !?!" 

Well, Yes, You Did, Saury! 

So What!?! 

You Still Don't Get It, Do You!?! 

Get What!?! 

What Am I Supposed To Get!?! 

Celeyse, Celeyse, Celeyse ... Tsk, Tsk, Tsk! 

The Distance Between Heaven And Hell ...! 

... I Know, I Know! 

Yes, Baulher! 

It's A Prayer! It's A Prayer!?! 

But, But, How!?! 

Celeyse, My Dear, Prayer Will Keep You Out Of Hell 

And Lack Of Prayer Will Keep You Out Of Heaven

Therefore, The Distance Between Heaven And Hell Is A Prayer! 

I Just Don't Know How He Does It! 

First He Frets My Spirit 

And Then Turns Around And Blesses My Soul! 

I Wish That I Could Hate Him But ...! 

... Yeah, I Know, But We All Love Him At The Same Time! 

Uh Huh! 

He Did It Again! 

Yup! 

Lesson Learned! 

Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: PRAYER: One Thing I Ask, Lord!

1 John 5:14 KJV

And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us:

PRAYER:

Dear Father, 

In The Name Of The Lord Jesus, I Ask A Boon! Please Help Me In All Things To Make You My Default Position! Help Me To Ever Seek And Hold You In My Heart As My Back-To-Base, Ignoring The Taunts Of Those Who Call Me And My Brethren "Christians!" As A Pejorative, An Insult! You've Told Us That The Day Will Come When We, Your People, Will Be Without Earthly Support And I Beseech You To Keep Your Promise, Not That You Need To Be Asked Since You Are The Promise-Keeping God, But Because I Need To Touch Your Hand, Your Heart, By My Word Of Faith In You And Your Almighty Power! Lord, We Need You, I Need You, And I Am Not Ashamed To Say It Or For Others To Know It! Father, Others Have Stood Up And Have Counted Themselves Resolute, Committed, Faithful To False Gods Which Neither See, Hear, Speak, Walk, Hold, Help, Or Heal And So, Today, Right Now, As In The Wedding Ceremony, In The Covenant Vows Before The Company Of Witnesses, I Pledge You My Troth And With Your Assistance, I Choose To Keep Myself Unto You Alone, Without Reservation While This Life Shall Last By Your Holy Spirit, The Comforter Of Us All, Who Leads Us Into All Truth! Father, I Have No Other God Save You, The True And Living God! I Have No Help But You, My Refuge And My Strength! I Have No Home Save Yours, Beulah Land, The Beautiful City, The Home Of The Faithful, Where Peace Dwells! I Am So Glad That My Lord Jesus Loves Me And I Am Glad That He Called Me From The Darkness Of Death Through Sin And Into His Marvelous Light Where Life Everlasting Is The Home Of The Soul! Lord, Lift Me Up! Help Me To Be Like Jeremiah To Say That Your Call, Your Will For My Life, Is Like A Fire Shut Up In My Bones! Be It The Altar Of Sacrifice Or Drawing The Plow To Break Up The Fallow Ground By Telling The Good News To Those For Whom The Lord Christ Died, Help Me To Serve Faithfully And With Patient Endurance No Matter The Cost! Help Me To Live My Life Uttering The Call And Basking In The Lover Of My Soul With The Immortal Words "Jesus Saves!" Please Grant Me My Request For I Ask It In My Gift Of A Portion Of Jesus Christ's Faith Which Cannot Fail! I Love You With My Whole Heart And, With Thankfulness And Gratitude, I Bless Your Holy Name For All Your Blessings On Me And The Brethren, And All Who Shall Be The Ultimate Inheritors Of Christ's Free To All Salvation! AMEN!!!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Moving Train Wreck!

Psalm 51:10 KJV

Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me. 

Colly!?! 

Yes, Binky! 

Colly, Have You Ever Seen A Moving Train-Wreck!?! 

Who Hasn't!?! 

We See Those Ever So Often On The Idiot Box! 

No, Colly! Not That Kind! 

I Didn't Know That There Was Any Other Kind, Binky! 

Well, Colly, My Friend, I Am Presently Watching A Moving Train-Wreck 

And When It Finally Hits The Restraining Wall

Somebody's Gizzard Goin' Splash Out 

And Their Guts Is Goin' Be Garters! 

Gracious, Binky, What Channel Is That On!?! 

Colly, You Ain't Listening Real Well! 

Pay Attention! 

If You Have Ever Had The Great Misfortune Of 

Having To Interact With Someone 

Who Takes Perverse Pleasure In Doing Evil

And You Have Been On The Receiving End Of 

Their Practiced Wickedness

And They Don't Seem To Care That 

There Are Witnesses To Their Machinations

And You Can Safely Project How Their "Adventure" 

Is Surely Going To End

Believe Me, It Will Cure You Of 

Ever Wanting To Be A Co-Laborer With Satan 

And Will Send You Running To The Safety That Is 

The Arms Of Our King Jesus! 

Merciful Powers! 

That Doesn't Sound Very Pleasant, Binky! 

It Wasn't And It Isn't! 

I Have Seen Some Things That Have Had Me Questioning 

If I Have Ever Had An Attitude, A Persona, Like That 

At Any Point In My Life For Even A Single Moment

And I Asked The Lord To Forgive Me 

If I Have Ever Been Like That! 

I Can Imagine, Binky! 

No, You Can't, Colly! 

Seeing Someone Behave Like That 

Is Like Watching A Snake Uncoil

Like Having A Bird's Eye View, A Drone View

And Watching A Car, A Truck, A Train 

About To Be Wrecked Big-Time 

And Knowing That There Is Absolutely Nothing That 

Anyone Can Do Avert It! 

It Makes You Sick To Your Stomach 

Unless You Are That Side-Winder, Satan

Who Encourages People To Sin Against Their Own Souls! 

Binky, You're Making My Skin Crawl 

Just Painting That Word-Picture For My Mind's Eye To Behold! 

What Are Doing About It!?! 

I Am Praying For That Person, For Myself

And For The Brethren

And For All Who Will Be The Ultimate Inheritors Of 

Almighty God's Free To All Salvation! 

Lord Jesus, 

Please Keep Us Near Your Cross 

Else We Will Never Escape The Disaster Up Ahead! 

Help Us To Pray Without Ceasing

And To Choose To Suffer Hurt Before We Will Ever Sin! 

Please Protect Us From The Evil One 

And Bless Us To Keep Our Savior First, Last, And Always 

In Our Thoughts, Words, And Deeds! 

AMEN!!! 

Help Us, Lord! Help Us! 

Grant Us Peace! 

https://youtu.be/qOFc5Ny8ohM?si=gVCyuH95urdIDoxa

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: What Were You Thinking When ...!?!

Psalm 139:17 KJV 

How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God! how great is the sum of them! 

Brethren, 

I Don't Know What We Are Thinking 

When We Allegedly "Slip Up" Up 

And 

Start Drifting Toward The Wild Side And On Into Backsliding 

With The Ill-Informed Belief That 

We Are Doing It Behind The All-Knowing God's Back! 

Are We Foolish Or Fools!?! 

Take Your Pick! 

Brother Bam, I Not Picking Either One 

Because Neither Of Those Personalities 

Will Darken A Gate To The Glorious City! 

Hear, Hear! 

                      AMEN!!! 

                                       Okay, Then! 

Beloved, 

I Desire That We All Think On This Thing: 

In This Vale Of Tears That We Call Earth

If The Authorities Had Your Brainwave Pattern

Your Iris Scan

Your Palm-Prints And Your Foot-Prints

Would You Be Able To Elude Detection 

In The Event You Committed A Crime!?! 

That's A Hard "N" To The "O!" 

You Telling Me! 

So, With That Said 

Why Would Any Of Us Who Are Obviously Drunk With Our Own Self-Importance

Which Is Not Worth A Piffle

Think That We Can Fool The All-Seeing God Who Is Ever Present!?! 

Beats Me! 

As You Said, Brother Bam

We Would Obviously Be Drunk 

And In A Disorderly State Of Mind! 

Okay, Then, Nomi! 

Let's Remember That Our Lord Is Not Mocked! 

What Are We Supposed To Do 

When We Have A Problem, A Situation, A Need

Or A Wayward Thought That Will Lead Us To An Inappropriate Action!?! 

We Should ... We Must ... Go Boldly To The Throne Of Grace To Obtain Mercy And Grace To Help In Our Time Of Need! 

Very Good, Paulie! 

We Are Now Getting Somewhere! 

You Make An Impressive Point! 

On Earth, Would You Get Into A Palace

Far Less The Throne Room Of A King 

Without Someone Apprehending You Or Shooting You Down 

Where They Sighted On You!?! 

Not A Chance! 

But, Yet, The Creator Of This Very Earth And The Whole Universe

The Almighty God Who Does Not Need Sentries Or Personal Body-Guards

And Who Is Himself A Consuming Fire

Invites You, Me, All Of Us Individually, To Come ... Boldly

To Just Walk Past His Ministering Spirits

His Angels Excelling In Strength

Like A Boss

And Stand, Knee, Bow, Lie Prostrate Before Him 

And

Let Your Request Be Made Known! 

True, Brother Bam

But You Left Out The Good Part! 

Nice Catch, Howlette! 

Would You Enlighten Our Darkness!?! 

I Don't Mind If I Do! 

Clean Or Dirty, Rabid Sinner Or Being-Sanctified Saint

We Are, By Special And Ever Open Invitation

Called To Get Into The Heavenly King's Throne Room 

By Our Heartfelt Prayers And Pleadings! 

AMEN!!! 

One More Thing, Everybody! 

Don't Forget To Go Back By The Same Prayerful Spirit 

And Give Him Thanks And Praise With A Grateful Heart! 

Preach It, Howlette! 

On That Note, Class Dismissed! 

Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: What Is It!?!

KJV Luke 11:13

13 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him?

Beloved, 

Truth Is Like Water And Wind! 

You Can't Live Without It ... Them! 

Truth, Water, And Wind Are For Hydration, Cooling, And Cleansing! Water Finds Its Own Level

Wind Will Find A Pin-Hole

And 

Truth Frees! 

Dear Ones, 

Whatever The Reason We Find Truth

We Will Always Be Impacted By It

Be It For Good Or Ill! 

Bottom Line ... 

We Live And We Lie And We Die 

But

Truth Can Never Lie Or Die 

Because 

Truth Is! 

Sin Finds Its Own Level! 

We Can Live Without Sin 

But

We Cannot Live Without Truth! 

Without Truth, Everything Created Ceases To Be! 

Sin Has A Shelf Life Aka A Use By Date 

And Because Truth Is Self-Evident

Sin Only Exists Because Of Obfuscation Aka Lies! 

Lies Cannot Stand In The Face Of Truth 

So It Attempts To Run Rings Around It 

But

Every Right-Thinking Person Well Knows That 

When One Runs In Rings Aka Circles Long Enough

The Circles Start To Wobble

And Then Get Smaller And Smaller 

Until The Ring-Maker Circle-Runner Runs Smack-Dab 

Into ... Inescapable ... Truth! 

Looka Dem Apples! 

People, People, Jesus Christ Is The Truth! 

He Made Us And Not We Ourselves! We Are His Twice, By Creation And Redemption

So Let Us Be Wise Unto Soul Salvation 

And

Let Us Shuck Ourselves Of Old Satan's Lies 

And 

Immerse Ourselves In The Truth By The Water And The Wind 

Both Of Which Are Symbols For The Holy Spirit Who Leads Us Into Truth 

... Unto Jesus Christ The Lord, Our King

Our Hope, Our Help

And

Our Sure Salvation! 

Ever Remember This, Dear Ones: 

Water Fills The Available Space

And 

Wind Enters The Opening You Give Or Make 

Aka The Holy Spirit Will Meet You Where You Are 

And 

Fill You And Help You To Get Rid Of Your Trash Called Sin 

Because 

You Desire It! 

Dear Lord, 

Please Let Your Fire, Your Holy Spirit, Fall Upon Us 

As We Pray And Trust In You Today! 

Lead Us Into All Truth As Is Your Will For Us! 

AMEN. 

Peace! 

https://youtu.be/1h2TRFEiZoQ?si=PJTlOCGIsNuGsUgw

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: PRAYER For Help!

PRAYER:

Oh, Heavenly Father, 

Please Have Mercy On Us Who Are Distressed

Walking In Darkness, Deceived

Doubting The Deliverance Paid For And Promised 

And Provided To Whosoever Sees Their Need

And Is Willing To Reach For The Extended Hand Of Him

Who Is Our Hope, Bringing Help And Healing

And Is The One Door To The Heavenly Home! 

Please Help Us To Not Yield To The Taunts And Temptations Of 

The Naysayers, The Scorners, The Liars

The Licentious, The Proud, The Perverse

And The Affluent And Boldly Willing Sinners 

Who Are Unafraid And Unashamed

And Are Vociferously Calling Others 

To Follow Them To Satan's Planned And Man-Purveyed Ruin! 

Please Unstop Our Ears So That We May Truly Hear Your Truth! 

Please Apply The Heavenly Eye-Salve

So That Our Eyes May Be Healed 

And We Will Truly See The Light Which Leads To Everlasting Life! 

Oh, That A Coal From The Altar In Heaven May Be Applied To Our Lips 

So That We May Be Cleansed Of Our Iniquities

And Purged Of Our Sin! 

Oh, Father, 

Let It Be That We, Willing To Be Saved, Will Say: 

"Without Our Lord Jesus, We Cannot Do Anything!" 

And, In Faith, Nothing Wavering

Commit To Our Lord

And To Taking The Way Of The Cross Which Leads Home! 

Hear Our Earnest Prayer 

And Answer Us According To Your Will 

And In Your Way 

For We Ask These Blessings In Jesus Christ's Holy Name! 

AMEN! 

HAPPY SABBATH + Generally Recognized As Safe!?!

 

Here A GRAS, There A GRAS! 

Everywhere A GRAS, GRAS! 

Old Mcdonald Lost His Shirt And His Farm

And 

It's Time That Everybody Knows Why! 

Dearly Beloved, 

We Are Gathered Here Today 

To Consign GRAS To The Underground Staff! 

GRAS Ain't Your Brother Nor Your Sister! 

He Ain't Your Friend Nor Your Family

And 

It's For Certain Sure That He Does Not Have 

Your Best Interests Coddled In The Cockles Of His "Heart!" 

GRAS Has Long Fooled Us All That 

He Is A Blessing 

When In Truth And In Fact 

He Ain't Nothing But A Blight On The Butt Of All Mankind 

From The Cradle To The Grave 

And 

We Are Putting Him In His Grave Today! 

GRAS Aka Generally Recognized As Safe

Makes Things Stronger

Look Whiter, Brighter

Taste Better

And 

Last Longer! 

Think, People

And 

Look At The Detritus Of Your Life 

And 

Recognize How GRAS Wrapped Himself Around 

And 

Jumped Into All That Was Biblically And Historically Known As 

Sin And Darkness And Death 

And 

Made Them Salvation And Light And Life 

And 

We, All, Trusting Man-Science And Guru-Gospel

Because

We Despised Our Peculiarities 

As People Of The Living Book Of Truth Of Jesus Christ

Tried 

To Reinvent Ourselves 

To Be Relevant To The Worldly-Wise 

Who, Unrepentant, Shall Never Reach To Heights Unknown! 

Lord Jesus,

We Repent! 

GRAS, Generally Recognized As Safe You Are Not! 

Dear Lord, 

Please Grant Us Your Grace

To Walk Aright On The Path Of Light 

That Is The Word Of Truth 

Neither Adding Nor Subtracting

To Be Attractive To Those 

Whom You Cannot Approve! 

GRAS, Hell Is Not Too Good For You: 

Burn Well! 

Brethren, 

Be At Peace With Our God, Jesus Christ The Lord, The Almighty: 

He, Alone, Saves! 

Peace! 

HAPPY SABBATH

BLESSINGS AND BOUNTIES!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Lift Up To Push Out!?! + Prayer

 

Nothing Has Changed For The Better! 

Wicked Men Wax Worse And Worse 

So  Stop With The Self-Promotion 

And 

Wait For Someone To Promote You! 

And

Just Because Someone Is Promoting You

It Does Not Mean That They Love You, Or Your Work Ethic

Or Your Devotion To The Lord

Or Are Desirous Of Your Righteous Upliftment! 

Beloved, 

Never, Ever, Forget That Corporate Boondoggle Called 

Lift Up To Push Out 

Or Elevate To Dessicate 

Which Does Yoeman Service In The World 

And

Sadly, In The Church! 

Dear Ones, 

Satan Is The World's Biggest, Most Adept Promoter! 

He Does Not Have Any Affection For Anyone Born Of A Woman

Beloved Of The Lord Jesus Christ

And 

Bound For Glory! 

Why, Then, Are The Young And The Old

Men And Women 

Boys And Girls

And

Preachers And Parishioners 

Accepting Poison-Apple "Gifts" From The Enemy Of Souls

The Arch-Deceiver, The Wannabe God 

As Though It Is From The Holy God!?! 

Not Everyone Who Wears White And Displays Light 

Are Holy And Clean, Good And True

And 

Not Everyone Who Is Covered In Dirt Is Dirty And Destructive! 

Let Us Conscientiously ... Diligently

Pray For The Spiritual Gift Of Discernment 

And

For The Blessed Lord's Pure Wisdom 

- Which We Are Commanded To Ask For 

When We See Our lack Thereof - 

To Be Our Companion Until Christ Comes Or Death Parts Us! 

Look Up To The King Of Love Right Now!

Peace!

 

PRAYER:

Lord, 

Please Take The Starry Wonder Of And For The World

Out Of Our Heads, Hearts, And Eyes

And

Help Us To Hunger After You

And

The Things Of Almighty God

Now, Today, And Always! 

AMEN! 

 

The Second Most Important Commandment! + PRAYER: Father, Please Help Me To Love Myself ...!

By

George McD. Greenidge

Guest Writer

The Second Most Important Commandment Says: 

"Thou Shalt Love Thy Neighbor

As Thyself!"

Mark 12:31.

As Strange As It May Sound

The Most Important Relationship You Have 

Is The One That You Have With Yourself! 

Hear Me Out! 

Too Many People Don't Like Who They Are

And They Focus On Their Faults, Weaknesses, And Failures! 

They Wish They Were Taller

Had A Better Personality ... And Looked Like Someone Else 

Instead Of Accepting Themselves 

As The Workmanship Of Almighty God ... A Masterpiece

Made In The Image Of The Eternal Holy God!

As If That Isn't Bad Enough

They Then Wonder Why They Are Not Happy 

And Don't Have Good Relationships 

With Our Heavenly Father, Their Family And Friends

Food, Their Feelings, And Their Finances! 

If You Don't Get Along With You, Then It Stands To Reason That

You Are Not Going To Get Along With Other People 

And Most Certainly Not With The Holy God!

Brethren, You Can't Love Others 

If You Don't First Love Yourself  ... In A Goodly, Godly, Way! 

Please Note That The Word Is Not To Be "In Love With Yourself!" 

With This In Mind, The Best Thing You Can Do

- I Include Myself - 

Is To Be Good To Yourself

Be Kind To Yourself

Be Merciful To Yourself

And Bless God For His Faithfulness To His Word To Us!

PRAYER: 

Father God, 

Thank You For Making Me In Your Image 

With Gifts, Talents, And Abilities To Enjoy Life

While Accomplishing Your Will

And

Also Blessing Others! 

Please Help Me To Love Myself

Despite All Of My Weaknesses And Shortcomings

Which I know I May Give Wholly To You

For You To Change Me

To Be Who You Created Me To Be

In Your Loving Hands!

I Love You! 

Father,

In The Humility Of Faith

I Know And Can Say That

I Am Happy To Be Who You Made Me To Be!

Thank You For Hearing And Answering Prayers

For I Pray In Jesus Christ's Holy Name! 

Amen! 

 

HAPPY SABBATH + B.Y.O.G Aka Build Your Own God!?! + PRAYER: Dear Lord, Please Disappoint The Evil-Doers!

The Sign On The Glass Door Just Barely Caught My Eye 

But 

It Was Enough To Stop Me Dead In My Tracks As I Said Aloud: 

"What The Hell!?!" 

This Was Too Big For The Euphemistic 

"What The Heck!?!" 

I Turned Back And Whipped Out My Phone And Took Two Photos! 

I Was Stunned! 

Not Even 100 Yards From A Very Large Church, And On The Diagonal

A Local Art Space Was Having An Exhibition! 

The Sign Said: 

"B.Y.O.G. Build Your Own God

And

Other Ideas For A Kinder World!" 

The Picture On It Had The Face Of 

One Of Those Egyptian-Type Animal Gods With The Wolf Face! 

Talk About Bold-Face Daring! 

The Artist's Bio States That 

She Will Be Making More And New Gods And Goddesses! 

Excuse Me!?! 

Where, I Ask, Is The Fear Of The Living God!?! 

Do Not These People Crack Open The Holy Bible!?! 

Do They Not Know The First Commandment!?! 

Have They No Shame Concerning Encouraging People 

To Sin Against Their Own Creator 

By Encouraging Them To Worship 

Lifeless Objects Out Of Their Imaginations 

Which Are Totally Useless 

Because 

They Have Eyes But Can't See

Have Ears But Can't Hear

Have Feet But Must Be Carried

And 

Hands But Can't Comfort! 

Where Is This Artist's Love For Saving Truth!?! 

Why Would This Artist Want To Maliciously Send 

Patrons Of Her Poison-Plate To Christless Graves!?! 

I Wondered How Much She Was Being Paid 

To Get Followers For Satan's Camp For The Damned!?! 

Does She Even Care That She's Doing Satan's Dirty Work!?! 

Does She Not Know That There Is Nothing Kind About Idolatry!?!

PRAYER:

Dear Lord, 

In Mercy, Please Disappoint The Evil-Doers

And

May Their Diabolical Plans Come To Naught 

And

Fall Back On Their Own Heads! 

Oh, How I Pray That It Is Not Too Late

For Their Darkened Eyes To Be Enlightened

And

Their Stone-Cold Hearts To Be Enlivened 

So That They Will Have Opportunity, Strength, And Courage 

To Confess And Repent Of Their Known Sin

So That They, Being Willing, May Take Jesus Christ

As Their Everlasting Portion! 

I Also Pray For Their Beguiled Patrons

And

Petition You, Father, For Help For Them

So That They May Be Turned

Toward The Path Of Righteousness! 

May Your Holy Spirit Abide With Your Faithful People

And

The Holy Angels Excelling In Strength Protect Us

And

Also Influence Us To Do What Is Good And Right

And, Therefore

Pleasing In Your Holy Sight! 

Oh, Lord, Let Your Name Be Ever Glorified

And

Jesus Christ Be Continually Lovingly Praised

In Whose Precious And Holy Name

I Humbly And Sorrowingly Plead!

AMEN!!!
