So, if you are in need of a place to rest and be refreshed during your busy day, please come on in for a while. You will be blessed. 1 Corinthians 3:16 - Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you? ALL MATERIAL IS FREELY AVAILABLE FOR RE-USE!
The Unbelieving, Wicked, Man's Talk About Power And Position Life And Death Control Prosperity And Penuary
Is
Cheap And Without The Backing Of Divinity!
They Don't Pay Taxes On Their Words
So They Speak As Though They Have The Final Say!
The Word Of God
Is
Powerful
And
Sharper Than Any Two-Edged Sword
And
It Does All That He, In His Infinite Wisdom Has Sent It Abroad To Accomplish! The Word Of The Lord Will Not Return To Him Void ... Empty ... Of Profit!
The Lord Backed Up His Word To His Children With His Own Blood
Making The Word Of God
In The Person Of Jesus Christ The Lord
The Savior Of Every Man, Woman And Child
The Most Expensive Gift Ever Given ... Ever Received!
That Gift Is Ours To Own And Hold And Utilize:
It Is The Most Precious
Because
It Is Heaven-Sent Gold!
Unbeliever, Believer, Wicked Or Good
We Are All Fragile, Hurting, Oft' Foolish, Needy People
And
We Who Choose To Believe That The Word Of The Lord
Is
True ... Sure
Worthy Of The "AMEN!" ... So Let It Be
Know ... In The Day Of Adversity
Not To Be Hesitant To Bare Our Souls Before Our Almighty God!
We Also Need To Remember To Pray ... Just Because
And
Always!
The Truth ...
Fancy And Politically Correct Speech Is For Politicians!
Lying And Corrupt Words Are For Those
Who Have Made A Covenant With Death And Hell!
Plain, Honest, Heartfelt Speech Is The Currency Used Between The Beneficiaries Of Grace
And
The Giver Of Grace
So Let's Choose Always To Believe The Word Of The Lord
No Matter The Matter Or The Provocation
And
Always Speak The Truth!
Dare To Be Humble!
Boldly Ask For Your Need!
Gratefully Give Thanks For The Blessing On The Way
And
Abundantly Live In Certain Hope ... Of An Expected End
Born Of Your Daily Gift Of Working Daily-Faith!
Jesus Christ Is King ... Our King!
He Makes Personal Deliveries To His Saints
And
He Will Deliver For You ... And Me, Too!
Trust Him Today And
Know That Glory Awaits!
In Him Is Our Peace!
The Unbelieving And The Wicked
Will Fall Under Their Own Weight!
Do Nothing To Help Them Accomplish Their Own Demise!
Who Refuse To Be As The Damned-For-Eternity Ingrate
Who Will Be Glad To See Our Repentance Come Too Late
And
Have Us Join Him And Others
Outside The Holy City's Closed-To-Unrepentant-Sinners
Beautiful Pearl Gates!
Repentance And Presumption
Cannot
Communicate!
Confession And Pride
Will Not
Cohabitate!
Wisdom And Folly
Will Not Fornicate
And
Christ And Satan Do Not Cooperate!
So, Therefore
To The Child Of God
The One Who Sincerely Desires The Promised Reward
The Only "Game" Worth Expending Effort Over Is:
Repentance
Confession
Wisdom
And
The Lord Christ
With Whom The Longing Heart Of Faith
Desires Ever To Abide!
Brethren,
Two Things To Consider:
The Proffered Lie Of Instant Answers To Our Prayers
And
The Necessity Of Praying About Our Wayward Thoughts
Which Are Easier To Get Rid Of Than Having To Do Recompense
With Skin
And In Prayer
For Performing Unconscionable, Ungodly, Deeds!
The Answers To Prayers Of Faith
Are "Yes!" "No!" "Wait!"
And
"My Grace Is Sufficient For Thee!"
Jesus Christ Prayed The Same Prayer Three Times!
And He Sweated Blood In The Endeavor!
The Lord God Almighty
Answers All His Faithful Children's Prayers
So Pray Until Something Happens!
In The Anguish Of Your Soul From The Trials Of Life And The Bitter Oppressions Of Your Human Enemies And Satan ... The Enemy Of Your Purchased Soul Cry Unto The Lord!
The Answer To Your Prayer That
The God Of Grace Gives Unto You
Is Always The One That Is
For Your Best Good
And For His Glory!
Never Doubt His Love For You!
Pray Like There Is No Tomorrow! Pray Like Yours Is The Only Voice That Our Lord Can Hear And Deliver Up Your Petitions With The Full Expectation Of A Ready Response From The Holy One Who Sacrificially Loves You, Hears You, And To You Draws Near!
Do Not Indulge Ungodly Fear!
There Is No Profit In Pretty Talk! As The Old Folk Used To Say:
Spill Your Guts To Get The Glory!
Give All That Is In Your Heart To Jesus Christ The King Because He Gave His All For You!
The Students Are Assembled For Prayers And To Give Praise
To Build Character
And
To Learn To Walk In Wise Ways!
The Great Teacher, Himself Has Set For Man The Example And Those Who Will To See Life Everlasting Do Not With Soul Salvation Ever Have To Gamble!
On Any Given Day ...
As With All Things Good For Man There Is A Naysayer! As With All Things Right That Bring Light To Man There Is A False-Oath Taker!
Brady Brix-Stone Was A Very Wicked Person And, That Dear Brethren Was Something Upon Which Everybody In The Know Could Agree But To The Uninitiated In The Classroom He Was High-Brow Elegant Fastidious Noble A Man Of The Book And With The Clothing To Match!
Brady Brix-Stone Considered Himself An Artist And He Liked To Sign His Name As B B S WithMany Flourishes!
On An Aside ...
The People Who Had Felt The Sting Of His Public Excesses
Have Saddled Him With
A B. B. S. Appellation
Which Is Not At All Polite!
Knowing Where You Are Going ...
It Should Be Noted Here That The Students In The School - The Committed-To-Christ Students In The School - Were Not There To Play Games! They Were On The Upward Way And Marching To Zion!
They Were Using One-Way Tickets To Glory!
By Contrast Brady Brix-Stone Had Taken To Making Friends And Influencing People To Improve His Bottom Line
And
To Expand His Waistline And No Surprise There
He Felt That This Was Compatible With His Mission Of
Being A Missionary On A Mission! He Could Not See That He Was The Whole Point Of Salvation Completely Missing!
Don't Get Me Wrong ...
There's Nothing Wrong With Money! It's The Love Of Money That Makes Men's Hearts Grow Cold! However
There's Much Wrong With Money If It Causes Your Love For The Lord Christ To Wax Cold And Causes You To Depart Truth And To That Serpent Satan ... Sell Your Already Bought And Redeemed Soul!
So That You'd Know ...
Brady Brix-Stone Was Normally Nasty On Monday And Tuesday Naturally Nice On Wednesday And Thursday And Downright Syrupy On Friday Saturday And Sunday As This Was When The People Had Lil' Change In Their Pockets That He Could Syphon Off!
There Was An Old Teacher - A True Man Of God - Who Had A Burden For Souls Who Was Willing Warrior For The Lord!
He Was Brady's Uncle On His Mother's Side Once Removed! Everybody Called Him Faithful Fred That Is ... Everybody Except Brady!
Heads Up, People ...
Our Greatest Adversaries At The Time Of The End Will Be Those Of Our Own Households Our Families!
Faithful Fred Taught Truth With Compassion In Love For The Love Of God In Christ In Season Out Of Season For Doctrine For Reproof Until That Wastrel, Brady, Succeeded ... Magnificently In Turning The People
- Who Should Have Treasured His Labors For The Eternal Kingdom - Well And Truly Against Him!
Things Got So Bad That
Faithful Fred Started To Doubt Never His Jesus Never The Word Of Truth Never His Salvation But He Started Doubting His Usefulness To The Cause Of Christ!
Brady Was In His Glee In His Cups ... He Was An Undercover Drunk And He Was Frenetically Caressing His Golden Brown Bank Book! His Future ... Now Assured Was Sound!
You Need To Know That ...
When We As Ingrates Despise The Blessings That Almighty God Gives Into Our Hands To Accrue To The Saving Of Our Own Souls He Removes Them! He Permits Them To Be Removed! They Are Taken Away!!
Case In Point : Enoch Of Bible Fame!
On A Quiet And Misty Day
Old And Faithful Fred Closed His Eyes For His Long Sleep: He Went To Sleep In The Faith Of His Lord Jesus Assured By His Maker That Those Who Die In The Lord Will Rise Up To The Lord To Live Forever With The Lord! He Went To Sleep At Peace!
Not Long Thereafter ...
Truth Was Cast Down Into The Street!
Brady Brix-Stone Came Down Like A Ton Of Bricks On The Side Of Sin And The Word Was Soon Heard:
If Only Faithful Fred Were Here!
If Only Truth For Today Was Heard!
If Complacency
And
Ingratitude
Were Not Found At Our Core
We Would Not Now Be Longing
For Things To Be As They Were Before!
Too Late Shall Be The Cry ...
Let Us Take Heed To Ourselves
And Not Our Lord God Defy!
When We Despise Truth We Will Suffer Under Lies!
Looking Good Doesn't Mean Doing Good! Speaking Truth Doesn't Mean Living Right Or Walking In The Light Of Life The Living God Eternal Ever To Delight!
Do You Appreciate What You Have!?!
With Jesus Christ The Lord We Always Know What It Is That We Have And What We Shall Get When Where And How!
We Already Know That Our Gifts Are From Christ Jesus!
I Beseech You, Brethren ...
Let Us No Err Like Judas And Sell Eternal Gold To Buy Destructible Silver!
To All Those Who Believe That They Have No Reason To ... Be:
Listen Unto Me AND
Hear Me Clearly When I Say:
The Lord Of Life
Cries Over Thee
And
Loves Thee Always!
There Is Rejoicing Up In Heaven When A Repentant Sinner Returns To The Safe Fold AND
That Should Indicate To You That
The Eternal God Cares For Your Soul!
Do You Realize That The Face Of A Man Is The Face Of One Of Those Creatures Ever Present Before The Almighty God AND If This Does Not Cause You Think Shake Your Head AND
Clear Your Mind! Blink!
Think, Brethren! Think!
The God Of All Graces
Consented To Become A Man A Human AND
Came Down To Earth To Walk The Land Teaching Healing Feeding Crying Dying Arising From The Dead AND
Rising Again To Glory So That Man - All Willing Mankind - In Purchased Victory Over Sin May To God's Eternal Kingdom Be Valiantly Rejoicingly Lead!
Our God Sings
AND Our God Loves Our Praise-Singing Desires Our Worship Hears Our Prayers Provides For Our Present Needs Is Preparing Our Future Home AND Stands In Glory As Our Open Door Waiting Calling Pleading Encouraging Directing Correcting Leading Guiding Healing Feeling, Feeling, Feeling Our Pain
AND Marked - For Eternity - As Brethren With Us Mere Men Who Do His Holy Name Profane Time And Again!
In All Scripture Given No Other People Is Named As The One About Which Almighty God Said:
Let Us Make Man
In Our Own Image
After Our Likeness!
So ...
Why Will You Say That You Are Not Important Again?!
Satan Is The Beguiler The Betrayer The Known Fiend AND
If You Are Listening To Him Know Of A Surety That His Words Are Unclean His Pottage Is Deceitful Meat His Gold Is Rusty And Cankered His Music Is Mesmerizing AND His Power Is Putrid
AND
Wicked
AND Covered In Sin Black As The Night Under Which He Does Unwary Men Attack!
Give That Damned Satan In Your Life No Slack!
Call Out To The Lord Christ Who Holds You In His Hand Who Protects Your Front
Your Back And Both Sides Who Covers You With His Feathers Who Provides For Your Need So That You Suffer No Lack!
Trust God - He Delivers! Trust God - He Saves! Trust God!
He Breaks Chains So That You Are Not Known The Slave!
KJV Isaiah 41 God Is With His People 10 Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness. 13 For I the LORD thy God will hold thy right hand, saying unto thee, Fear not; I will help thee.
Lord,
Have Mercy ... And Help Us!
Help Us To See That We Do Not
As True Believers
Walk Alone!
Help Us To Trust You
Where We Can't
With Our Mortal Eyes
Trace You!
Help Us To Unfailingly Love You In Faith
For
- To Be Saved Into Your Eternal Kingdom -
We Must!
I Have Been Painstakingly Reading The Facebook And Instagram Posts Of A Devout, Kind-Hearted, Christian ... Who Committed Suicide.
I Have Been Reading The Responses To, Tributes About, And Notes Of Regret From Ordinary Friends, School Mates, Co-Workers, Family, And Christian Friends Of A Committed, Active, Working For Christ, Praising, Believing, Trusting, Grateful For Salvation, Hopeful For Redemption Christian Who, Hours After Celebrating Faith In The Lord Christ, And Leading Out In Worship In The Sanctuary, Committed Suicide.
Not One Solitary Soul Saw It Coming.
All Hearts Are Torn And Are Sorrowing.
This Picture Makes My Blood Run Cold Because There Are Too Many Hard Questions That Need Answering ... And No Obvious ... And Soft ... Comfortable Answers Forthcoming.
This Is The Third Time, In The Last 20 Years That I Know Of A Christian Committing Suicide:
Demographics:
One Female, Two Males One Married, Two Singletons Two Teachers, One Casual Worker One Doctor, One Master, One Learner One Twenties, One Thirties, One Fifties One With Children, Two Without Two Professionally Known, One Virtual Unknown All Believers In The Lord Christ All Dearly Loved Not. One. Clue. Given. ... As To What Was To Come.
Legacy:
Doubt About What Love Can Do
Doubt In The Love Of God
Doubt In The Grace Of God
Doubt In The Salvation Of God
Doubt As To Whether, Indeed, JESUS PAID IT ALL.
Questions:
Why?
Where Was Faith?
What Is Our - Not God's - Definition Of Faith?
Why Were You Leaning On Your Own Understanding?
Why Was Suicide The Only Option?
Where Was Our Jesus?
Where Was The Holy Spirit?
Where Was The Guardian Angel?
How Did Satan Pull This Off?
Why Was Satan Able To Pull This Off?
Did You Forget To Believe?
Was Your Problem Bigger Than Your Faith In The Holy God?
Why Did You Choose To Give Up On Ever-Sufficient Grace?
Did You Forget, Or Momentarily Disremember, That Forgiveness For Known Sin Is Free By Confession And Repentance?
Did You Forget That There Is Mercy For Me (You)?
Did You Forget That Grace Is Bigger Than Sin?
Were Your Eyes So Clouded With Sorrow For And Over Self That You Willingly Chose To Close Them, And No Longer Be Able To See Christ And His Sacrifice ... Just For You?
Is There The Almighty God?
Is Almighty God Really Real To Every Man?
Is The Almighty God Able?
Is The Almighty God Capable?
What Is There That The Almighty God Can't Do?
What More Could The Almighty God Have Done?
Jesus Christ IS The Only Answer. What Was Your Question To Him?
How Do Christ's Sacrifice, Purchased Salvation, And The Very Public Actions Of An Assumed Born-Again, Regenerated Sinner Called Christian Turned Suicide, Intersect?
What About The 6th Commandment - Thou Shalt Not Kill? Exodus 20:13
Suicide Is Self-Murder!
What Of No Murderer Getting Into Heaven?
KJV Revelation 22 15 For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie.
What Of Murderers' Only Inheritance Being The Second Death?
KJV Revelation 21 8 But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.
Is There Extenuating Circumstance That Would Permit A Suicide Into Heaven?
Does The Almighty God Change His Word To Suit Our Circumstance, Our Situation, Or Our Sorrow?
KJV Malachi 3 6 For I am the LORD, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed.
KJV Hebrews 13 8 Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.
Why Do We Doubt When We As Christians Have That Certain Hope?!
Why Does The Bible, The Living Word, The Word Of God, The Transcript Of God's Character Say ... Do Not Doubt?
AND
Warns About The Result Of Doubt?
Do We Not Understand, Or Truly Believe, That Doubt Is A Gross Sin Against The Eternal God Who Gave His All, His Best, So That We May Have ALL - Absolutely Everything - That We Could Need To Survive, To Spiritually Prosper, In This Vale Of Tears?
When, When, When Will We Start To Believe - As Does A Child - That Our Father's Arms Are Ever Safe, Ever Comforting, Always Comfortable, Always Available, Always Here?
Brethren,
These Are Dread Times In Which We Live.
I Shall Here Utter My Usual Refrain:
Things Are Not What They Appear To Be!
I Shall Here Beseech You:
Do Not Trust Your Carnal Eyes! Do Not Trust Your Emotions! Do Not Build Your House On Feelings! Do Not Walk On The Road Called "What Will People Say!"
Do Not Buy Into The Social Media Garbage Of
Shaming! Being Shamed! Feeling Too Ashamed To Live!
AND Suicide Is A Cure For Life's Hurts!
Sin Is What Exposes Our Nakedness, And Causes Our Shame ... Before Almighty God!
The Living God Doesn't Shame People! He Calls Us To Salvation! He Shows Us The Way To Life! He Desires Us To Drop The Dirt AND Carry The Crosses Of Life To The Christ Of Calvary's Cross Where There Is Always Room For One More Sinner Who Wants To Safely Get Home Out Of Sin's Decimating Cold!
Please Look Up AND Know That ALL Of Our Help Comes From The Lord The God Of Our Salvation!
Let Us Build Our Hope On Nothing Less Than Jesus Christ's Blood AND His Righteousness! He Paid The Price All Our Sin To Cleanse AND The Prayer Of Faith Brings Us To His Home! He Will Us Defend!
On Christ The Solid Rock Please, Brethren ... STAND! Satan Is The Carnal Liar
The Father Of Lies AND His Actions Are All Grand Stand!
Satan Is A Toothless Lion! Christ Did Him Defang So Call Him By His Real Name! He Can't Take You Out Of Christ's Hand!
Let Us Believe The Living Word The Truth The Given Light The Way Of God AND Not The Lost Goat's Twisted Word!
Let Us Love Our Lord Jesus AND Trust AND WALK In Our Daily Apportioned Faith!
Satan Will Roar! BUT He Can't Touch You Unless You Doubt The Eternal And Almighty God AND With The Gross Liar Talk!
Don't Be An Eve!
Don't Wander Away
AND
Don't Casually Indulge In Useless Converse With The Wily Fraud!
Smoke And Mirrors Are His Camouflage
So Get Out Your Hammer Called Christ! Turn On The Water Of Life! Call Out The Holy Spirit! AND Do A Limpet AND Cling To Eternal Life!
Remember ...
The Crown Of Life Is For Those Who
Endure
- To The End -
Carnal Strife By Clinging In Faith To The Lord Christ!
There Is No Second Chance No Do-Over At Our One Human Life!
Live In Faith's Expectancy!
KJV Matthew 8 26 And he saith unto them, Why are ye fearful, O ye of little faith? Then he arose, and rebuked the winds and the sea; and there was a great calm.
Every Life Will Have Storms And Rough Seas!
TEARS ARE A LANGUAGE
THAT
GOD UNDERSTANDS!!
Finally ...
I Pray God That If I Ever Find Myself In A Situation So Dire That I Can't See The Way That I Will With My Cherished Mustard Seed Of Faith My Hope My Trust My Belief My Every Breath Call Out Cry Out Plead Beseech Curse The Devil Bless Christ Run To The Rock Shelter Under The Wings Hold The Fort Be Influenced By Good Angels Be Chided By The Holy Spirit Lean On Jesus AND Cast My Every Care On Him AND RESTIn The Peace Which He Gives - Which Passes Human Understanding - To Awaken Refreshed To See The Shining Sun
AND
Assuredly The Son Of Righteousness AND Carry On Walking In The Shadow Of The Cross Praying The Promises Looking Up To The Christ Of The Cross So That I May Live Life In Christ Abundantly AND Not In The Lying Gospel Of Carnal Prosperity!
There Is No Hope In Death!
Cliche Or Not Reach Out To Jesus In Faith By Faith For Faith AND Live!
He Who Fights Sin
AND
From The Devil Runs Away Will Live To Fight In Jesus Christ's Faith Another Day!
In The Old People's Vernacular I Awakened Said My Prayers And Brushed My Two Teeth! After Bathroom Detail I Had Me Some Dry Oats And A Warm To Hot Libation AND Looked To Start The Day Without Getting Into A Nasty Fight With. My. Self
The Old Peace-Thief!!
Too Late!
Here They Come Polished As Can Be Secular Self-Love AND Temptation ... To Sin - Wow! They Are Wearing The White Gloves!
Oh, Brother!
I Know What That Means - They're Going To Try To Finesse Me AND Try To Make Me Want To My Heavenly Father To ... Lie?!
