VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Building What!?!

I Didn't Believe You'd Do It, But You Really, Really, Did It! You've Built Yourself A Life Of Luxury On A Foundation Of Freedom To Choose With The Bricks Of Sin! 

And You've Got The Latest Windows Of Transgression! And I Can't Help But See That That Ornate Door You Purchased Is The Most Expensive One From Darke Lorde's Best-Selling Line! And That Roof Is Unmistakable For Being From His Gaudy Pride And Presumption Line! 

Now Tell Me, Uhgottit, What Could Possibly Go Wrong!?! 

Wrong, Schmong! This Is The Life For Me! 

Uhgottit, I Hope You Know That Sweet Life Don't-Can't Surely-Won't Last! 

Phliright, My Friend, This Life Doesn't Last So If Sweet Life Doesn't Last, It Ain't No Biggie! 

Wow, Uhgottit, Just Wow! Don't You Believe That There's A Judgment Coming ... And A Better Life!?! 

Look, Phliright, I Don't Have A Tomorrow Put Down! I Have A Today And A Now, Not A Someday Compliments Of A Judge! 

Man-Judges Are Corrupt, So Your Unseen Judge May Be, Could Be, Is Very Likely, Is Indeed Corrupt, Too! 

I Pity You, Uhgottit! Your Mum And Your Grand-'other Taught You The Way To Eternal Life Which Comes Through The Savior Who Is The Judge Of All Flesh, So Why Would You Choose Darke Lorde's Luscious Life Of Lawlessness As Your Hill To Die On!?! 

It's Simple, Phliright! It's Available, And It's Convenient, And I Like It! 

Ahhh, The ACL! You Do Know That In Full-Contact Sports That An Untreated Torn ACL Could End Your Days In The Game!?! 

Whatever! Live Fast, Play Hard, Take Your Lumps, Game Over: I'll Have Enjoyed The Ride While It Lasted So Who Cares!?! 

So Said The Man Who Watched The Death And Burial Of His Dreams While Singing "I Did It My Way!" While Crying And Asking "Why Me!?!" 

Phliright, You Tire Me! Please Go And Preach Your Bilge-Water To Someone Who Gives A ...!  

... Uh, Uh, Uhgottit! 

Okay, Someone Who Wants An Every Moment Of Life Traffic Director! 

Sounds Good To Me! 

Sounds Like Hell To Me, Phliright! That's Where You'll End Up If You Don't Get Rid Of This Glass House Abomination Resplendently Standing On Quick-Sand! 

Phliright, Please Make Your Presence Absent From My Domiciliary Edifice And Don't Ever Darken My Door Again! And If You See Me On The Street, Resist The Urge To Be A Samaritan! You Are Dead To Me! 

That's Alright, Uhgottit, But You Can't Stop Me From Praying For You! 

Don't Waste Your Time Praying For Me, Phliright! Pray For Yourself! 

I Will Use My Time Doing What The Lord Commands, Uhgottit! I Will Bombard Heaven For You Until The Lord Tells Me "Leave Uhgottit Alone With His Idols!" 

Suit Yourself! 

NARRATOR: 

Well, Brethren, Many People Prayed Unstintingly For Uhgottit! His Mum Passed On Pleading At The Throne Of Grace For Uhgottit To No Apparent Avail But There Was Good News For His Grand'other! 

One Day, Exactly Seven Years, Nine Months And Twenty-Six Days After Their Acrimonious Encounter, Phliright Was On High Street When He Heard A Familiar Voice Calling Him Bro. Phliright In An Unfamiliar Familiar Knowing Tone! 

And, Lo And Behold, There In The Flesh Was Uhgottit Looking ... Healthy, Humble And ... Held-Up! 

To Hear Phliright Tell It, Uhgottit Said He Had Real Fun Times Before He Went Through The Horn-Pipe Before A Miraculous Carve-Out Appeared And Ejected Him Just As He Was About To Make Hell-Self His Future House! 

He Said That He Had Been Tired Of The Life But Was Just Going Through The Motions Even As He Kept Hearing The Words: "Come Unto Me And Rest!" 

He Said That He Who Had Never Found A Feeling He Didn't Enjoy Suddenly Couldn't Shake The Feeling That He Was Between Times, Between Doors, At A Cross-Roads, At A Point Of No Return, And It Shook Him To His Core! 

He Remembered Phliright's Promise To Pray For Him No Matter What, And His Mum And His Grand'other Teaching Him The Good Way And Praying Over Him, And It Broke Him! 

He Remembered His Mum's Last Words To Him: "Uhgottit, My Favorite Only Child, You Ain't Got Nothing If You Ain't Got The Lord Jesus! Please Choose Jesus And Walk Right In The Light Of Life! Fun Fades But Jesus Lasts Forever! I'll See You In The Kingdom!" 

His Mum Plainly Told Him That She Would See Him In The Kingdom Without A Doubt! 

Uhgottit Said He Fought The Lord Like He Owed Him Money But The Lord Overcame Him And, In Humility, Accepting Truth, Glad For The Numerous Prayers For His Salvation Over The Years, He Surrendered To Our Savior With No Regrets! 

Is God Great!?! 

Yes, He Is! Hallelujah!!! 

Sin Didn't Win! Thank You, Jesus! 

Heaven's Gate Will Open And Uhgottit Will, By Right, Walk In! 

The Lord Be Ever Praised!!! 

AMEN!!! AMEN!!! AMEN!!! 

Peace! 

 

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: I Know What I Want, No, Uh, Need!?!

 

I Know What I Want, But I Need What The Lord Jesus Has For Me! Which Desire Shall Win The Lord Already Knows, But I Need To Find Out And Designate It! Lord, Help!

Come On, Saira, You Know Right From Wrong, Truth From Error, Need From Want, AND, Most Importantly, You Well Know That Any Gift Given To You From Our Lord Jesus Is Best And Blessed, No Sorrow To Follow!

That Is True, Gabby, But I ...!

... Stop Right There, Saira! There Is No "But" When It Comes To Our Trusting The Lord For And In All That Concerns Us And Our Well-Being!

I Know, Gabby, But ...! 

... There You Go Again Butting! Are You A Goat Of The Hard-Head Persuasion!?!

No, Gabby, It Is Just That ...! 

... Father, Preserve Us! 

Saira, Pick One: Apple, Orange, Or Banana!

Do You Have Granny Smith, MacIntosh, Or Red Delicious Apples!?!

They Are MacIntosh Apples!

Are The Oranges Blood, Juice, Bitter, Or Navel!?!

Are You For Real!?!

Yes, I Am! I Have Standards, You Know!

Okay, They Are Navel Oranges! 

Are The Bananas Lady Finger, Apple Banana, Or Big Mike Bananas!?!

They Are Apple Bananas!

I Do Not Like Any Of Those Choices So I Can't Make A Decision! 

Lord, Save Us! 

Brethren, This ... This Is A Classic Example Which Demonstrates Why Most Of Us Will Never Get To Enter The Land Where We Won't Cast Shadows! 

Would You Like To Explain That Remark, Gabby!

Gladly, Saira! 

The Lord Jesus, Our Very Creator, The Life Giver, Offers And Makes Available, And Easily Accessible, Free-To-All Salvation, And Most Of Us, Like Our Saira, For Example, Instead Of Accepting The Gift Without Price Or Equal From The Only Wise God, Proceed To Have "Standards" And Offer The Lord Their "Specifications" While Failing Or Neglecting To Realize ...! 

... You Mean Pridefully Fronting With Nothing, Gabby!

I Was Trying To Be Delicate, Delia! 

Well, You Failed! 

Okay, Moving On Smartly! 

We Fall Short Of The Lord's Glory, Have Nothing To Offer To Save Ourselves, And, Yet, We Have Demands, Non-Negotiables, And Red Lines For The Lord ... He Who Gives The Breath Of Life! Would Somebody Make This Make Sense!?!

You're Asking For The Impossible, Gabby! 

Do You Have Anything To Say Besides "Sorry, Lord!" Saira!?! 

Hearing How You've  Laid It Out, Gabby, Makes Me Sound And Feel Like A Real Ingrate!

We All Need To Accept That Charge, Saira, Because That Is Exactly How We All Behave, Or Have Behaved, Before We Acknowledged Our Bankrupt Behavior And Confessed Our Sin With A Heartfelt Repentance To Our Father In The Name Of His Son, Our Savior, Jesus! Scripture Speaks Truly About Us!

How So, Sue!?!

It Asks, "What Can A Man Pay To Redeem His Soul!?!" 

You Know That It Takes A Truly Weighty Pair Of Brasses To Tell The Lord, The Judge Of All Flesh, The Creator, That His Gift Has Gaps, And That His Glory Ain't All That! 

Lord, Forgive Our Foolishness Even As You, In Mercy, Remember Our Frame!

 AMEN!!!

Whatever The Lord Has For Us Is Perfectly Perfect! 

That's Not True, Trent! 

What Do You Mean, Manny!?! 

Perfectly Perfect Suggests The Possibility That lt Could Have Been Perfectly Imperfect: Both Are Made-Man Constructs! 

Let Us Use The Lord's Words To Us About His Gifts For Us! Almighty God's Gifts To Us Are Good And ... Perfect ... No Qualification! 

Gabby!?! 

Yes, Saira!?! 

I Will Take An Apple, A Banana, And An Orange! 

Greedy, Much!?! 

The Lord Giveth Grandly And I Accepteth Gladly! 

AMEN!!! 

Peace, People! 

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: The Eternal Attributes Are At Work To Bless Us!

Almighty God, In The Person Of Jesus Christ 

Our Loving Lord And Savior

Is

Omnipotent, Omniscient, Omnipresent

Infallible And Immutable

And

All Of These Eternal Attributes Are Available And In Play

Working For Our Salvation! 

Do You Believe It!?! 

Do You Trust The Word And The Works Of

Him Who Makes It So For You Personally ... Intimately!?! 

Do You Understand, Accept

As You With Godly Desire Permit The Holy Spirit

To Prepare You To Be A Sanctuary For Him

Who Is The Awesome God! 

By The Holy Spirit's Rule

Do Not Permit Presumptuous Sin

To Have Dominion Aka Rule Over You! 

Read Your Bible And Rout Out Bad Habits

And

Overcome Sin By Chapter Or By One Verse At A Time! 

Choose To Learn From The Mistakes Of Others

And

Do Not Say To Yourself That 

You Would Never Commit "That Sin" 

Because

Well ... You! 

Pride Goes Before The Fall 

And

Dare I Add ... A Broken Tail-Bone! 

Fellow Believer, 

Please Do Not Ever Think That

Your Dear Savior's Ability Is Like That Of The Little Engine

Who Thought He Could Do 'It!' 

Our Lord Jesus Is The Great I AM! 

He Told Moses To Say To His People: 

"I AM That I AM!" 

He Told His Adversaries In Jerusalem: 

"Before Abraham Was, I AM!" 

And

They Tried To Kill Him! 

It Didn't Change The Truth!

Let Us Hold Fast To The Extended Hand Of

Hope, Help, Healing, Salvation, Justification

Sanctification, Redemption ... Glorification!

Dare To Be A Peculiar Person

And

Walk As One Wise For Your Own Self

By Attaching Yourself, Your Hope For Your Future

To The Holy God Who, Alone, Is Wise:

It Is He Who Gives You True Wisdom ... And Understanding! 

Boldly Dismiss The Urge To Grasp At This Life's Straws

And

Go, Instead, For The Gold Tried In The Fire! 

Beloved,

Please Clothe Yourself In White Raiment That 

"He Who Turns The Tide" Sells ... For Free! 

Avail Yourself Of The Eye-Salve That 

He, The Great Physician, Your Creator

Provides For Healing Your Sight, Your Vision

Your Look-See

So That You Are Not Fooled By Fripperies

The Cheap Thingies Masquerading As Substance

When They Are Just Smoke And Mirrors

Fair-Ground Junk! 

And Lest We Overlook It  ... 

Plead With The Lord To Relieve You Of 

The Wiggling Worms Of Wasting Worldly Wonder That 

Cause You To Have Itching Ears For What Is Not Food

For The Soul Hungering For Christ's Righteousness! 

Dear Ones, 

Dare To Walk Firmly On The Strait Path 

On The Narrow Way 

Because 

The Waymaker Will Be With You

Be It On The Altar Of Sacrifice

Or Pushing The Plow Working Unweariedly 

For The Soul Salvation Of Others! 

Joy Comes In The Morning: 

Do Not Fear: 

The Lord Gave You A Spirit Of Power

Of Love And Of A Sound Mind! 

Believe, Beloved! 

Look Unto Our Lord Jesus Christ

And

Live Now To Live Eternally!

Peace Be Upon You! 

 

 

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Is The Person Speaking "Words To Live By!" To You Trustworthy!?!

 

 

Brethren, 

We Must Understand That The One Whose Word 

We Choose To Accept And Follow 

Is What Will Make The Difference In Our Lives 

For Good Or Ill! 

Look At It This Way: 

The Savior Says If You Love Him 

Keep His Commandments Which Are Life! 

The Adversary Says Keep His One Commandment

Which Is The Whole Of His Law

And Live Your Own Life! 

The Adversary Says You Have Nothing To Lose! 

The Savior Says You Have Everything To Gain! 

The Savior Says Living Life His Way 

Is To Be On The Strait And Narrow Way! 

The Adversary Says Life Done Right Is To Live On Broadway! 

The Savior Says He Is The Truth And We Should Walk In Him! 

The Adversary Says Truth Is Overrated Unless It Is Your Own Truth! 

The Savior Desires Us To Live To Live In 

Almighty God's Sweet Tomorrow! 

The Adversary Urges People To Live 

Like There Is No Tomorrow! 

The Savior Says There Is One God: Serve Him! 

The Adversary Says All Men Are Gods: Serve Yourself! 

The Savior Says Give To Others And It Will Come Back To You! 

The Adversary Says Take From Others And Give To Yourself: 

It's Your Due! 

The Savior Says That We Should Not Tell Lies! 

The Adversary Encourages People 

To Decide What Is A Lie For Themselves! 

The Savior Says That Our Body Is The Temple Of The Living God! 

The Adversary Tells People That They Are The Living Temple! 

The Savior Says That We Should Glory In The Cross Of Christ! 

The Adversary Encourages People To Cross Off Christ! 

The Savior Says That We Should Deny Ourselves Daily! 

The Adversary Says To Daily Defy Deny! 

The Savior Says Humble Yourself! 

The Adversary Says Humble Others! 

The Savior Says Be Not Proud! 

The Adversary Says Being Proud Is To Sit On A Cloud! 

BOTTOM LINE ... 

Satan, The Adversary, Always Seeks To Dominate By Deception: 

Resist Him! 

Jesus Christ, The Savior, Ever Elevates By The Truth: 

Let Him Speak To And For You! 

Peace! 

 

Vespers At The End Of The Sabbath: Who Guides Your -Ship!?!

KJV Ephesians 5:15-16

15 See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise,

16 Redeeming the time, because the days are evil.

-Ships Abound! 

What Kind Of -Ship Is Yours!?! 

We Can Be Like Jesus And To Accomplish This

We Are Each Offered A Lifetime Apprenticeship 

In The Righteousness School Of King Jesus Aka The King Of Love

Where The Teacher, Not Professor Nor Educator

Is 

The Holy Spirit Of God 

Who Leads The Diligent Apprentices Into All Truth! 

Beloved, 

Interestingly Enough And Sadly

There Is The Malevolent Spirit Running Amok 

Who Is Also Offering Free Apprenticeships 

To His About-Me School 

Where Advanced Placement GS&P Classes 

Are The Hot Ticket! 

Strangely Enough

There Is Not A Step Up To A Brighter Day Celebration 

For Any Of The Thousands Of Years That 

The Malevolent Spirit's About-Me School Has Been In Existence! 

On The Other Hand, Dear Ones

What Is Amazingly Beautiful About The King Of Love's School Of Righteousness 

Is 

That It Has A Parallel -Ship Class 

For All Of Those Students In Its Apprenticeship Program Of Education! 

It Is Called Friendship 

And 

It Gives All Apprentices Direct Anytime Access To 

The Creator-Owner

Founder-Operator

Sustainer-Maintainer Of The School 

Where Grace And Mercy 

And 

Justice And Peace Are Its Hallmarks! 

The Apprentices Remaining Therein To The Program's Completion 

Are Eternally Blessed! 

Brethren Beloved, 

In The Name Of Jesus Christ The Lord 

Understand That To Be Forewarned 

Is 

To Be Forearmed 

So Please Make A Note-Well Warning 

In Your Need To Know File! 

The King Of Love 

Is 

Your, My, Our Forever Friend! 

The Malevolent Spirit 

Is 

The Now-Present Fiend 

And 

His Advanced Placement GSP Classes 

Are For Intensive Tutoring In Greed, Selfishness And Pride 

Which Gives Its Apprentices A Hot Ticket To Hell 

On The Day That The Judge Of All Flesh Appoints! 

The Malevolent Spirit Has Already Been Found Wanting 

And 

Has Been Judged And Condemned! 

Please, I Beseech Us All

Be Purposeful And Intentional In Your Grace-Filled Walk And Work 

For The Judge, Prince Immanuel, The King Of Love: 

He Equips All Of His Apprentices With Faith For Today ... Every Day! 

Be Wise! 

Peace!

HAPPY SABBATH + Don't Flame Out Or Rust Out!

Look At Life! 

Flame Up Flamed Out 

And 

Then There Appeared Rust Out And Burn Out! 

There's A Thing! 

You See, Flame-Up Was A Blow-Hard 

And 

An Obnoxious Bottom-Feeder 

Who Knew Everything About Anything And Everybody

And 

He Kept Lists And Posited Himself To Be A God! 

Let's Call Him Gaudy! 

He Was Like That Big Fat Fluffy-Belly 

Supposedly All-Knowing Holiday-Season Elf 

With The Santa-Satan Appellation 

Who Can Hold No Candle For Nor To The Divine One

Jesus Christ The Lord Of Life

And

That Is Why He Spectacularly Did The Flame Out Thing! 

Now, As For Rust-Out

He Had Had A Good Thing Going With The Master-Maker 

Until He Began To Imbibe What He Should Have Anointed Himself With! 

Man-Word O' Praise Went Straight To His Head 

And 

He Began To Believe His Own Self-Paid Advertising Campaign 

Which Consisted Of Pure Hype From The Accuser Of The Brethren! 

Rust Out's Eyes Fixed

His Joints Seized

And 

His Heart Atrophied

And 

His Work For Christ Came To A Grinding

Rusty-Sounding

Ain't Good For Nothing Halt! 

Beloved, 

Know The Truth! 

Pride Is Poor For Patience 

And

Putrid To Peace With The Prince Of Peace

The King Of Love! 

There's A Better Way! 

Dear Ones, 

I Present To You Burn Out

That Stalwart Of The Holy Faith Who Loves His God 

And 

Does Everything By Grace Through Faith 

To Bless His Lord With His Ready And Willing, Able Service 

And 

Not Fuh Nuh Waterproof Sea-Meat 

Aka Fish Aka Feeling I Should Help ... For Personal Profit! 

Burn-Outs Hurt Like H E Two-Sticks 

But

Oh, The Joy Everlasting 

When The Day Of Regeneration Shall Finally Come! 

I Beseech Us All To Please Let The Lord Of Life Alone 

Love, Lift, And Laud You! 

The Lord Is Faithful: 

Humble Yourself! 

Peace!

Remember The Price Paid For Our Peace!

Brethren, 

Be Wise Enough To Care About Others

And 

Care Enough About Others To Care About Yourself 

And 

Your Relationship To And With The Holy God 

In The Person Of Jesus Christ The Lord Of Life! 

Dear Ones, 

We Are Reliably Informed By The Scripture Of Truth That 

After Jesus Christ Died To Save Us

And 

Ascended To The Father

He Took Captivity Captive

And 

Gave Gifts Unto Men! 

Jesus Took Away Sin's Power To Bind Us Up In Its Thrall 

And 

Gave Us The Power

The Strength

The Gift ... That Unmerited Favor

To Call Upon Saving Grace 

To Obtain Free Mercy And Grace To Help Us 

In Our Time Of Need 

Which Is Every Moment Of Every Day Of Our Lives! 

Dear Ones, 

Never Doubt Pride's Power To Cause Your Downfall 

And

Never Doubt Humility's Ability 

To Lift You Up To The King Of Glory! 

Humility Is A Gift Of God 

And So, Too

Is The Ability To Approach The Throne Of Grace 

To Pray In Faith For Help And Healing With Hope! 

Brethren, Beloved

Please Never Forget The Price Paid 

For Us To Receive The Promise Of Peace With Almighty God 

And

Everlasting Life In The Paradise Of God! 

Trust The Word! 

Pray, Care ... And Press On! 

Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Please Emulate The Master!

Glamorous Christian And Humble Christian 

Live In, Share, The Same House! 

When You See Glamorous Christian

Envy Rises In Your Poor Heart 

And 

You Say: 

"Wow! They Living Large!" 

When You See Humble Christian

You Say With Native Pride: 

"That Poor Soul! 

Thank You, God, For Your Blessing On Me! 

I Know How To Strive!" 

To You, I Say: 

Think Again! 

"You Talking Real Rubbish! 

The Lord Desires All Of His People 

To Be Prosperous-Looking, Rich

As Befitting Those Who Are The Recipients Of 

His Love And Grace!" 

To You, My Misguided Friend, I Say: 

Wheel ... And Come Again! 

The Lord, Himself, Said: 

"It Is Easier For A Camel To Get Through The Eye Of A Needle 

Than For A Rich Man To Enter The Kingdom Of Heaven!" 

"The Poor Will Be With You Always!" 

And 

"The Meek Shall Inherit The Earth!" 

Beloved, 

Self Is A Pride-Filled Sinner! 

Proud People Love Display 

And 

They Find It Hard To Give To Those 

Who Cannot The Debt Repay! 

Which Glamorous Christian Do You Personally Know That 

Has A Heart For God 

And

Is Willing To Dirty Clothing, Head, Hands, And Feet 

To Condescend ... As Our Lord Christ Did

To Wash Another's Stinky Feet!?! 

Service For The Lord Does Not Consist Of Pontificating

Sermonizing, Voguing, Closet Organizing

Philosophizing

Or Jewelry, Dress, Shoe, And Big Hat Sizing! 

By Contrast, I Present To You Humble Christian

A Sinner Known Confessing

Repentant

Seeing His Need For His Savior Dear

And 

Determinedly Striving For The Lord's Glory

And 

Petitioning His Maker To Help Him To Get There! 

He Prays! 

He Pleads! 

He Helps Others! 

He Plants Good Seed

He Walks And He Talks With All And Sundry

And 

He Has No Problem Doing Another Person's Foul Laundry! 

He Visits The Sick, The Good, The Bad, The Ugly

And 

He Has No Fear Of "What If!?!" 

Because 

He Serves His Dear Lord Willingly, Patiently, Gladly! 

Glad Rags Are One Thing 

But 

Glamorous And Glitzy Belong In The Trade Mags

And 

All Who Want To See The Lord ... In Peace

Must Their Hold On This Dying World Decidedly Release! 

Humility Is A Virtue: 

Pride Is Not! 

Look At Old Satan And See For Yourself That 

A Resident Of Holy Heaven He Most Assuredly Is Not! 

Please Do Not Get Me Wrong 

For There Are Those Who Carry Humility Too Far 

Which Then Becomes A Thing Of Pride: 

These Also Shall Not In Heaven Abide! 

Please Emulate The Master 

And

Be Grateful For What You've Got! 

Do Not Expend Your Blessings On Excess 

But 

On Being Faithful, Obedient, And Enduring 

So That You Shall Surely Become A Spiritual Success! 

Boast About Jesus  Christ The Lord! 

Peace! 

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: All The Way With Jesus!

Beloved, 

Please Tread Softly In The Presence Of The Lord! 

Disobedience Is Not Just About Our Disregarding Authority

Rules And Regulations

Or About Provoking Wrath! 

Disobedience Is Also About Our Attitude And Conduct

And 

Our Belief In Or Regard For The One Whose Rules 

We Are Choosing To Ignore, Breach, And Disrespect! 

Laws And Directions Are Not Put In Place 

To Make Us Miserable! 

They're There 

Because 

Someone Cares About Us And Our Well-Being

And 

Desires To See Us Safely Prosper! 

Let's Consider What We "Gain" When We Get Caught 

And 

Are Caused To Bear The Known Consequences 

For Our Willful Disobedience: 

Shame, Pain, Expense

Public Ridicule

Regret, Misery

And Then 

Punishment! 

Disobedience, Just Like Doubt

Is 

Generated In The Mind Propelled 

By The Unbelieving, Unfaithful Heart That 

Pleases The Likes Of Proud, Lying, Murdering Satan! 

Lying To Oneself 

Is 

The Mark Of Pride 

Which Is The Feather In The Cap Of Disobedience 

Which Dances With Death! 

Dear Ones, 

Death By Disobedience 

Is 

The Murdering Of Hope 

And

Denies The Purchase Of God A Future ... With The Expected End 

As Promised By The Law-Giver, Our Lord Jesus Christ! 

Our Published Future 

Is 

Heaven At The Last Trumpet

Plus A New Name, Immortality, Incorruptibility

The White Robe Of Christ's Righteousness

A Gold Harp

A Starry Crown

And 

A Personal Place In The Father's House! 

Our Expected End 

Is 

The Eternity Of Peace With Jesus! 

The Price For Disobedience 

Is 

A No-Return Place 

In The  Lake Burning With Fire And Brimstone 

As Prepared For Satan And His Angels! 

Do Not Your Own Soul Cheat! 

Disobedience Is Optional 

But 

Judgment Is A Given!

Peace! 

Stop Chasing Perfection Of The Man-Made Sort!

 

It Must Be Said: 

We Really Need To Stop Chasing Perfection Of The Man-Made Sort 

Pleasure Derived By Ungodly Means

And 

Prominence To Be Seen And Heard And Cooed Over

And 

Start Studiously Seeking The Savior 

Who Sanctifies Aka Sets Us Apart

And 

Seals And Secures Us To Be Able To Stand Before Him 

In The Heavenly Sanctuary! 

There Is No Profit In Pride! 

Man's Approval Isn't The Same As The Lord's 

And

Man's Arm Is A Poor Weapon In Battle! 

Beloved, 

Self-Serving Sinners May Become Working Saints 

And 

Be Saved 

But

Serving Saints Who Again Become Willing Sinners 

Seeking All-About-Me Success And Temporal Security 

Will Assuredly Be Damned! 

Dear Ones, 

Anyone May Make A Mistake 

But 

When A Mistake Becomes A Deliberate 

And 

Turns Into A Way Of Life

That Is When It Shall Be Said: 

"Christian, We Have A Problem!" 

Please, I Beseech Us All

Do Not Allow The Prideful Idea Of Self-Made 

To Become Your Ideal 

And 

Turn You Into A Cast-Off Cast-Away From The City Of God! 

Pretty Isn't Always Beautiful

Pleasure Isn't Always Sweet

And 

Prominence Isn't Ever Perfection!

Every Man After The Eternal God Should Avidly Seek! 

Our Perfection Comes From Jesus Christ The Lord, Our King! 

Peace!

HAPPY SABBATH + GRATITUDE: Let Your Tongue Be A Ready Writer!

 

How Often Have We ... In The Euphoria Of Blessings Received

Chosen To Do A Show And Tell Of The Things We Have Gotten 

And 

Have Totally Forgotten

Ignored, Disregarded, Or Dismissed 

The Grace, Mercy, Love

And 

Kindness Of The Giver Of All Our Good Gifts!?! 

Where Is Our Gratitude!?! 

Do We Not Realize That If Our God Took Offense 

At Our Graceless Oversights, And Downright Devilish 

"I Deserve This!" Attitude, That 

He Could Take Away Our Pride And Joy 

And 

Leave Us Useless, Homeless, Penniless

And 

Powerless For Our Boldly Base Behavior!?! 

One Leper Out Of Ten 

Knew And Truly Understood Where His Blessing Came From 

And 

Turned Back To The Master To Give Him

To Give Almighty God

Real Praise! 

Good King Hezekiah

After He Was Raised Up From His For-Sure Death-Bed

Instead Of Telling The Babylonian Strangers 

Inquiring About His Blessings That 

It Was The True And Living Holy God 

Who Blessed And Kept Him And His Nation

He Showed Them His Things! 

After They Left To Return To Their Nation

The Sentence Came From God

- Through The Prophet Isaiah - 

That All That The Babylonians Had Seen 

Would Follow Them To Their Homeland! 

Dear Ones, 

Be Wise! 

The Lord Of Life Giveth 

And 

The Lord Calling Us Home To Himself Taketh Away 

So Let A Thankful Heart Keep Your Bountiful Blessings On You 

And 

In Your Home! 

Give Almighty God His Owed ... And Deserved ...  Praise: 

Let Your Tongue Be A Ready Writer! 

Peace!
