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!

HAPPY SABBATH + Life Ain't Fair!?!

 











We Like To Say That Life Is Unfair! We Also Like To Say That 
Life Is What You Make It! 
We Also Seem To Forget That Jesus Christ The Creator-God 
Is 
The Way, The Truth, And The Life! 
No Jesus, No Life! 

Should Not We Therefore Realize That 
It Is The Life Lived Without Jesus Christ, The Life-Giver 
And
The Light Of The World
That Causes People To Behave Inappropriately 
And 
Thereby Cause Still Other People To Accuse Life Aka The Lord Jesus!?! 

Dear Ones, 

We, As Committed To Christ Christians
Are Asked To Live In Peace With All People ... Where Possible! 

We May Choose To Let People Embitter Our Lives 
Or
We May Choose To Live For And In Jesus Christ ... Our Peac
Who Freely Gives Unto Us His Peace 
Which Passes Human Understanding! 

Beloved, 

Have You Not Realized That 
It Is Man's Unregenerate Heart 
Aka Man's Heart Unimproved By Grace That 
Causes Us The Problems Which We Say Cause Life To Be Unfair!?! 

Dear Ones, 

Let Us From This Day Forward 
Choose To Be Part Of The Solution 
And 
Not The Cause Of The Problems In Other People's Lives 
And 
Our Own! 

When We Let The Light Of Almighty God's Truth 
Be The Center Of Our Lives
It Is Guaranteed That The Devil Aka Our Adversary 
And 
His Minions 
Will Have No Part In Us! 

Be Encouraged ...

Our Relief Is Jesus! 
Our Release Is From Jesus! 
Our Refuge Is Jesus! 

Dare To Rest In Christ Jesus 
And
Be Relieved: 
Eternal Life Is Peaceful! 

Jesus Christ Saves! 

Peace!

Build A Beautiful Brain






Your Brain Isn't Actually A Muscle 
But 
It's Always Getting A Workout! 
We Train Our Brains!

Muscles Must Be Exercised 
If 
They Are To Strengthen And Grow 
And 
Remember What They Have Been Or Are Being Taught! 

Muscles Have Memory 
And
This Is Why We Are Able To Do Things 
Without Having To Forcefully "Think" About 
What We Are Going To Do! 
Trained Muscles Know! 

Beloved, 

With What Are You Exercising Your Mind!?! 
With What Bad Habit Are You Bulking Up Your Brain That 
Is Now Taking Over 
And
Disrupting Your Life!?! 
Is Your Brain-Training Showing!?!

The Apostle Paul Instructed Young Timothy 
To Study To Show Himself Approved By God
A Workman That Wouldn't Need To Be Ashamed! 

Is There A "Muscle" In Your Mind Juiced-Up On Steroids 
Aka Bad Medicine That 
Is 
Causing You To Think, Say, And Do Things 
Which Our Lord Christ Can Never Approve!?! 

We Have In The Lord Christ An High Priest Who 
Is 
Touched By The Feelings Of Our Infirmities
Short-Comings And Sicknesses Which Drop Us To Our Knees
And 
He Says To Us All: 

Come Boldly ... As You Are
To The Throne Of Grace 
To Obtain Mercy
And
Grace ... Favor ... Power 
To Help You
In Your Time Of Need! 

Please, I Beseech Us All
Be Not Proud, Arrogant, Lawless
Or A Man-Pleaser ... Self-Deluded! 

Please Acknowledge That There Is A Problem
Call It By Its Given Name 
And
Get Thee Hence To Jesus Christ The King
And 
Humbly Give It To Him! 
Do Not Be Ashamed:
Jesus Christ Saves! 

Brethren, Beloved

Dare To Build A Beautiful Brain
A Marvellous Mind
With The Blessed Exercise Plan 
Easily Found In The True Words Of Almighty God 
Which Speak Love, Life, And Liberty! 

Peace!

The Minor Prophet's Major Question!








The Book Of Minor Prophet Amos
Has Asked The Major Question That 
Every Committed-To-Christian Needs To Bluntly Ask 
And 
Truthfully Answer! 

With Whom Are You Walking!?! 
Where Are You Heading!?! 
Is There A Meeting Of The Minds 
And
Are You In Total Agreement 
With The Proposed Course Of Action!?! 

Beloved, 

Just As There Cannot Be Two Roosters In One Hen-House
There Cannot Be Two Number One Goals In Any Mission! 

On The Other Hand, The Question Becomes
"Are You Just Tagging Along For The Ride 
Because You Are A Lazy Thinker, Weak-Willed
Lonely, Looking To Belong
Or Just Plain Lost
A Problem Looking For A Bold Solution
A Heart Looking For The Perfect Home!?!" 

Please, I Beseech Us All
Do Not Take Up Other People's Causes 
Because 
They Have Big Mouths
Big Houses
Big Cars
Big Bank Balances
And 
Base Beliefs Masquerading As Truth For Today! 

Walking With The Lord Christ 
Is 
Walking With Wisdom, Understanding 
And 
Knowledge Which Leads To An Expected End! 

Your Travelling Companion 
Is 
The Author And Finisher Of Your Faith 
And
He Is Well Able 
To Protect And Provide For All 
Who Choose Him As Their Eternal Portion! 

Jesus Christ The Righteous King
Has All The Answers Before You Even Ask Your Questions: 
It Is Safe To Trust And Walk With Him! 

Peace!

Praying Lifts You Up To Almighty God!








We Are Lovingly Invited By The King Of Love
The King Of Earth And Glory
To Pray Without Ceasing! 

We Are Encouraged 
To Keep Our Thoughts Stayed Upon Jehovah! 

We Are To Draw Near To The Lord 
And
He Will Draw Near To Us! 

Beloved, 

Have You Ever Considered, Just For A Moment, That 
Instead Of Wasting Precious Time Worrying And Crying 
When You Are Physically Heading North 
And 
Your Life Is Literally Going South 
Without Your Consent Or Input, That
You Should Make It A Practice ... A Habit
Your Way Of Living
To Repair To Praying As Your First Stop 
No Matter The Matter!?! 

Shouldn't We ... As Committed Christians
Have A Default Position That 
Forms An Always-Heard Triangle Music Instrument 
With Individual-You As The Beater!?! 

Problem Presented: 
          Prayer And Praise Performed: 
                    Peace Possessed! 

Problems Are The Open-End Downside Of Life 
Which Make You Vibrate!
 
Prayer And Praise 
Is 
The Foundation Of Life Which Holds You Up!
 
Peace 
Is 
The Perfumed Upside Of Life That 
Keeps You Sweet-Tempered! 

Problems Hit You 
You Hit Prayer And Praise 
And
Peace Lifts You Up! 

The Living Word Says It
And
The Historical Record Proves It
So Let's Keep The Holy Faith
And
Lovingly Remember Those Saints Of God And Christ 
Who Were Praying To And Praising The Lord As They Died
Despite Having Their Feet In Literal Flames:
Their Example Is Our Encouragement!
 
May The Words
"Jesus, Thou Son Of David
Have Mercy On Me!" 
Take On New Meaning In Your Life Today! 

Peace Be Upon You ... As You Pray!

HAPPY SABBATH + Scrubbing Brushes, Chisels, Hammers, Cross-Cut And Rip-Cut Saws And Sand-Paper!





The Lord Our God 
Does Not Make Idle Promises About 
Neither Sin Nor Salvation
Blessing Nor Rebuke
Heaven Nor Hell
And 
We Of The Household Of Faith 
Must Not Minimize Or Place A Gloss Over 
The Plain Word That 
Proceeds From The Mouth Of The Almighty God 
By Indulging Doubt, Disbelief 
And 
Disobedience! 

Let's Consider A Baby! 

A Baby Knows The Voice
The Taste
The Touch
The Smell 
And 
The Rhythm Of The Heart Of Its Mother
And 
In The Chaos Of The Noisy World 
Or Its Own Household
Baby Will Seek For 
And 
Find Care, Comfort, Rest
Refreshing 
And 
Peace 
In Its Mother's Arms! 

So, With That Said
What's Our Problem!?! 

The Lord Our God 
Is 
Our Creator 
Aka Father And Mother 
Who Cannot Forget Us 
Because 
Of The Richness Of His Infinite Grace
And 
Eternal Love! 

Jesus Christ's Innocent, Precious, Blood 
Purchased Our Redemption 
And 
We Are Called To Saving Faith 
- By His Daily Gift To Each Of Us Of 
A Measure Of His Faith -
By The Plain Truth 
To Willingly, Eagerly, Wholly,  Trust 
The Holy God Of Grace 
To Get Us Safely Home To Unending Glory! 

This World 
Is Not 
Our Forever Home
And
Our Problems Are But Scrubbing Brushes
Chisels, Hammers
Cross-Cut And Rip-Cut Saws And Sand-Paper:
We Must Be Clean And Righteous Before Our Lord ... The Judge!

Beloved, 

We Have Free Will And Free Choice
So Let Us ... As Children Of The Great King
Choose To Walk In Enduring Faith 
And 
By Almighty God's Great Grace
Do Not Deny His Personally-Shown
Perfect Love For You!

The Lord Cannot Forget
His Very Own
Greatly-Beloved Children!

Book-It ...
 
Walking In The Truth Brings Peace: 
Be Comforted In Christ Jesus
Shiloh
The Prince Of Peace
Who Is Our Haven Of Rest!


Rejoice In The Lord ... Of Life!

Drink Your Lemonade!

 




Let's Praise Almighty God 
Despite Our Problems 
And 
Truly Trust Him For His Saving, Protecting 
Providential Care!
 
Let's Also Say
- When Life Gives You A Good Harvest Of Fat Lemons -
Beg For Sugar
And 
Make Lemonade! 

Beloved, 

While You May Say That That's Cheap And Easy Talk
And 
Nobody Knows How Sour Your Lemon Harvest Was, Is 
And 
Is Projected To Be
Let's All Remember That
- As Members Of The Household Of Faith -
We Are Called To Boldly Taste ... And See ... That 
The Lord, Our God
 Is 
Good
And
Faithful, Loving, Just, Kind
Blessing, Giving, Forgiving
And
Ever Righteous And True! 

Brethren,

We Have A Sure Word In The Volume That 
Is 
The Good Book 
And 
All Who Read It Diligently
Searching For Its Hidden Treasure Sure To Be Found
Know How Our Story Ends! 

We Have The Promise Of New Life
New Name
New Home
Blessed Peace
And 
Pure Love In Our Forever Home! 

I Urge Us All 
To Enjoy Your Life ... In Christ ... Lemons And All
Because
It Is In Him That We Have A Sweet Future 
And 
An Expected End! 

Beloved,

Dare To Live With Your Eye
Your Head
Your Heart
Your Hand 
And 
Your Hope 
Touching
Tasting
Hearing
Feeling
And 
Following Jesus Christ ... Our TrueAnd Only King: 
He Is Your Water And Sugar!
Drink Your Lemonade!


Be At Peace With Your Lord 
Who Is Sweet
And
Perfect Peace!

Look At Jesus Christ The Lord!


John 1:28-44 KJV - These things were done in Bethabara beyond Jordan, where  John was baptizing.



In Order For Our Lord To Show Us Great And Mighty Things
We Must Be With Him
Looking At His Dear And Lovely Face
Walking With Him
Listening To Him
Understanding What He Says
And 
Looking At What He Is Willingly Showing ... Revealing ... To Us! 

The Problem Is That We Indulge Inattention
Lack Of Focus
And 
Resistance To Knowing 
Because 
Receipt Of Divine Knowledge Brings With It 
The Burden Of Required Action
To Change Our Thoughts, Our Words
And 
Our Deeds! 

Knowing Demands Corrective Action 
But 
The Heart Finely Tuned To Self-Will
Self-Service
Self-Aggrandizement 
And 
That Bad 'Un Self-Pitying Selfishness 
- With A Double-Order Of Deadly Pride -
Refuses To Take Even A Single Look At Jesus! 

Jesus Christ
Is
The Way To Glory
The Truth That Is Our Ticket To Walk On The Way
The Light That Guides Our Footsteps 
And
The Life That We Must Live 
If 
We Will Secure Our Hold On Eternal Life! 

Beloved, 

By Beholding, We Become Changed! 

Behold The Man
The Son Of Man
The Son Of God
God In The Flesh
Jesus Christ The Only One Righteous
The Lord
The King ... All-Seeing, All-Knowing, Ever-Present
The God Of Grace Who Is Touched 
With The Feeling Of All That Touches Our Short But Eventful Lives! 

Please Lovingly Look Longingly Upon The Lord 
And 
Live Loyally! 


Peace
Has Been Purchased
For You
Personally!

But, God! + The Truth!



 Psalm 75:7 But God is the judge: he puts down one, and sets up ...



Beloved, 

We Who Choose To Accept Jesus Christ 
At His Living Word 
Always Have An "Ace In The Hole" 
When Dealing With The Changing Scenes Of Life 
And 
Its Attending Difficulties! 

We Are People ... Humans
And 
We Daily Deal With People ... Humans
Who ... Like Us ... Have Problems 
But 
We Believing The Word
Ever Have The Ready Solution 
If
We Are Willing To ... Or Remember To ... Use It! 

"But, God ...!" 

But, God Will Supply Our Need 
Not 
According To Our Need 
But
According To His Riches ... In Glory! 
Never, Ever, Forget This Truth! 

We Are Given Daily Faith! 
We Have Direct Access
By Humble, Heartfelt Prayer
To The Throne Of Grace! 
We Have Trust To Spend On Jesus! 
We Have Obedience To Deliver To Jesus! 
We Have Free Will And Free Choice
And 
We Have Love
The Holy Love Of The Living God 
Which Can Never Fail! 

Soooo ...

With All That's Been Said
Let Us Remember That 
Our Problems Are Finite And Temporal
Our God Is Infinite And Eternal
The Sun Is Always Shining Somewhere
And 
Our Faith Reposed In Jesus Christ 
Will Always Bless Our Lives With Sun ... Sonshine! 

When Life Butts You, Remember 
"But, God ...!" 
And 
Acting According To The Gift Of Faith
And
The Strength Of The Living Word Of Truth
In Jesus Christ's Matchless Name
Give Your Back To That Liar, Satan 
And 
His Minions Aka The Agents Of King Fraud! 

Be Encouraged!
Always Honor 
And 
Praise The Living God 
Who Has The Final Say! 
Peace!

The Truth:

The Devil Is The Liar!
His Words Will Always Curse!
See That You Take Nothing
From His Blighted Hand
Or The Lord's Sacrifice For Sin
To Reverse The Curse On All Mankind
And
Personally In Your Life
Will Never, Ever, Be Reversed! 

Any Lift Given By Satan Is In A Hearse! 
Any Gift Received From Satan Is A Curse! 
Any Drift Occasioned By Satan
Will Entangle You In The Mortal Strife
And
 Any Sift Used By Satan To Help You
Is
To Sever You From Christ's Eternal Life!

HAPPY SABBATH + People With Problems!?!


Image result for happy sabbath blessing


Man 
Is 
Choosing ... By His Own Fallible Wisdom
To Tell The World
And
To Tell The Almighty God 
Who The Almighty God Is
Instead Of Choosing To Accept The Word Of 
The Holy One Who Is Wisdom
Who Shows To All That He Is Good And Faithful
And
Does Not Indulge In God-Fraud!

If We Don't Already Know It
Then Let Me Tell Us All Plainly:
We Are People With Problems!

First Off The Bat
Let's Just Admit The Truth
About Our Seeking After Man's Approval
And
Earthly Rewards
Instead Of Seeking The Approval Of The True And Living God
And 
Staking Our Purchased Lives 
On Receiving The Heavenly Reward!
Earthly Rewards Perish!

Brass Rings
Silver Cups
And Gold Coins
Cannot Enter Heaven!
Admission Is By Reproducing
In Your Own Life
The Righteous Character Of Jesus Christ!

When We Refuse The Truth Of The Eternal God
And
Choose To Follow Another Jesus Christ
And
Learn From Another Gospel
We Are Raising Rabid Attack Dogs In Our Beds
Who Viciously Bite At Our Edible And Exposed Throats!

And

Because We Are Choosing The Liar Instead Of The Lord
We Are Harboring Known-Poisonous Snakes In Our Warm Bosoms
Who Wittingly ... And By Their Nature
Manufacture Our Brutal, Stinging, Uncomfortable Deaths!

Those Who Die In The Faith Of Jesus Christ
Die With The Certain Hope Of 
The Sure Resurrection Of The Just
Who Live By The Faith Of Jesus Christ!

Brethren,

We Are Called Believers 
Because
We Have Faith After Having Heard 
Not Just Any Old Word
But
The Word ... The Living Word Of Almighty God
So, Please, I Beseech Us
Let's Stop Giving Dread Doubt A Foothold
And Instead
Let's Start Giving Over Our Hearts To The Faith
The Living Faith Of The Holy Jesus
Which Cannot Fail Us!

The Name ... The Character Of 
The Lord Jesus Christ
Is A Strong Tower!
Those Who Are Righteous Run Into It
And Are Safe!

We Need To Stop ... Right Now ... This Very Minute
Indulging In Willful Blindness
And
Permitting Itching Ears
To Lead Us Into Sure Disgrace
Because
We Lack Working Faith!

Faith Without Works Is Dead!

We Know That The Word Of Almighty God Is True!
We Know That Jesus Christ Saves!
We Know That Satan Is The Liar And Murderer Supreme!
We Know That Satan's House Is Built On Sinking Sand
And
We Know That The Lord's House Is A Sure House
Built On The Rock Of Ages
That Shall Stand Forever!
Why, Then
Are We Indulging Creeping Compromise
Permitting The Unsavory Desires Of
Those Who Would Be God And King
Those Who Would Force Conscience
Those Who Would Compel Free Will
Those Who Would Choose Your God For You
To Cause Us To Doubt The Love Which Will Not Let Us Go
The Love Which Cannot Fail!?!

Our Sin Is Not Stronger Than Our Savior!
Our Hope In Jesus Christ Will Not Fail
Nor Will It Lead Us To Hell Which Is Prepared For Satan
So Why, In The Name Of All That Is Holy
Are We Permitting Others To Cause Us To Doubt
To Disbelieve
To Dishonor
To Disobey Our Creator And Sustainer God Almighty
Who Paid The Price 
- With Jesus Christ's Innocent Blood -
For Our Own Personal, Egregious, Sin!?!

Isn't It About Time That We Choose To Stand Up
And
To Speak Out 
For The Truth Of The God Of Heaven
Though The Heavens Fall Upon Our Heads!?! 

Do We Not Have The Promise That
Those Who Die In The Lord
Shall Rise Up To Live Forever With The Lord Of Life!?!

Jesus Christ Said
He Would Lay Down His Life
And He Did!
Jesus Christ Also Said That
He Would Take Up His Life Again
And He Did!
Jesus Christ Says What He Will Do
And
He Does What He Promises To Do!

Jesus Christ Saves!
Almighty God's Promises Are "Yeah!" And "Amen!"
And
We Have The Sure Word:


Image result for KJV Ecclesiastes 3:14
 

Listen To Me Carefully, Brethren!
Those Who Presumptuously Take The Word Of Almighty God 
And
Turn It Into A Lie 
By Rewriting, Reinterpreting, Reframing
Reimagining It
And 
Teaching It To Others To Cover Known Sin 
Are In For A Rude Awakening! 

Finite Man Can't Unseat 
The Infinite God
From His Glorious Throne 
So Almighty God's Word Stands! 

Take Heed, Beloved!
Lawless Men Recasting Almighty God 
Into Their Carnal, Lustful, Greed-Propelled, Sinful Image 
Will Fail And Fall As Satan Did
And 
Will Receive Satan's Ordained Reward! 

Jesus Christ, Almighty God
Is 
Holy, Just, Loving, Kind
And 
Unfailingly True! 
Let's Give Unto Him ... I Beseech Us All
Willing Worship, Glory, Honor And Heartfelt Praise! 

Let's Fear Our Holy God
Not With Ungodly Fear
But
With Holy Awe
And
Let Us, By His Grace, Obey His Every Word!
When We Do This, Brethren,
We Will Be Blessed To Live Forever 
With Jesus Christ Who Infinitely Loves Us! 
May The Lord Of All Keep Us Faithful!

Obedience Pays!
Jesus Christ Obeyed His Father
And His Obedience Paid For Man's Sin
And Purchased For All Mankind
The Gift Of Free Grace
Which Is Always Sufficient!
In Faith, Please Call Upon Jesus Christ
Who Knows, And Can Fill, All Your Needs!
