HAPPY SABBATH +CHARITY: Love And Truth Intertwined!

Talk Is Cheap When You Don't Have To Pay Taxes On Your Words

But

Cheap Talk Will Prove To Be Very Expensive

When ... Before The Judge Of All Flesh

We Must Give A Detailed Accounting For

All Our Useless Words! 

I May Say That I Love You! 

I May Give You A Charitable Donation

But

I Am Only Doing It To Get The Tax Deduction
The Press Coverage 
And
Man's Applause

Which ... Combined

Is

A Totally Wasted, Therefore Useless, Transaction

In The Holy God's All-Seeing 

All-Knowing, Ever-Present Holy Eyes! 

My "Love" Doesn't Bear Load 
And
It Doesn't Excrete Sweat:
It Doesn't Cost Me Anything!

Think On This Thing ... 

Charity Is Love
And
Love Speaks Truth! 

Love And Truth Are Intertwined

- Irretrievably Wrapped Up In Each Other - 

And 

Walk Amongst Men As One! 

Sadly, Many Of Us Act As Though 

Love And Truth Are To Be Prostituted For Pleasure

Sacrificed For Societal Elevation

And

Extended And Withdrawn 

As And How The Winds Of Change Do Blow!

Beloved, 

Love ... Heavenly, Abiding, Love

Is 

On The Job

Has One Job

And 

Performs That Job Always And Unfailingly!
Jesus Christ's Love For Us Produced Blood And Water:
He Gave His All For The Love Of Us All! 

The Word Works ... 

We Represent Heavenly Love
Salt
And 
Light On This Earth 
And 

We Are To Love Others Even As Jesus Loves Us:
Jesus Didn't ... Doesn't ... Give Us Any Short Rations! 

Let Us All In Christian Charity

- In Love And With Love For Our Lord Christ - 

Pray For The Holy Spirit's Outpouring 
And
Indwelling 

To Be On And In Us 

Empowering Us To Love All Our Brethren

Even The Unlovely

The Unlovable

The Unkind 

And 

The Ungrateful 

- As We Once Were - 

And 

Bless Us To Look Beyond Their Faults 

And 

Recognize Their Unvoiced Need 

And

Fill It ... As The Sweet Spirit Of Truth Impresses
Without The Theatrical Presentations
The Media Coverage
The Quid Pro Quo Aka Something For Something Show! 

We Are Christians

- Christ's Followers-  
With A Published Work To Do

So Let's Set Aside Self 

And 

Fervently Pray

And 

Do A Work Of Love ... Today! 

Let's Please The Lord Christ ... Today! 
Let's Love In Truth ... Today!
