Problems Abase Debase Abound: Only Jesus Christ Saves!





Problems Abase Debase Abound!
From Sin To Salvation
Man, Fallen, Must Bound!
Satan Is The Liar!
Publish The Glad Sound:
Jesus Christ Is Lord And God
And
All Who Diligently Seek Him
By Him Shall Surely Be Found!

Guns, Knives, Swords
Poison Pen, Poison Pill
Human Trafficking
And
Unholy Sex 
Gives The Perverted, Corrupted Mind Myriad Thrills
And
It All Points
To The Unregenerate Heart
Which ... From The Law Of Love
Light ... Life
Many, Longing ... Seeking Self
Did, Indeed, Depart!

No Holy God:
No Love ... No Light ... No Life!
No Holy God: Look Out!
Intense Becomes The Mortal Strife!
No Holy God
And
Desperate Becomes The Need
To Destroy Self And Others
And 
Upon This Dark, Dread, Damnable, Desire
Satan Does Enjoyably Feed!

Light In The Darkness Points The Straight Way!
Darkness Covering Light
And
Men Needing Christ The Lord
Become
Uncontrollable Strays
With Black Hearts
Dark Thoughts
Seeing No Possible Escape
And
Choosing To Go With The Flow
Their Heads With Consuming Evil They Drape
And
On Hate And Destruction

They Energetically Vape!

Measure The Man!
Map The Seeking-Truth Mind!
Mind The Kind Master
And
Holy Heaven, You Shall Surely Find!

Do Not With Known Sin Consort! 
Do Not Choose On The Low Road To Recline! 
The Lord Of Life Is Calling Man To Repent:
Choose To Live
To Love
And
Wittingly Decide Your Life In Light Is To Be Spent
Because
Jesus Christ Willingly Forgives Confessed 
And 
Repented-Of Sin
And
Know And Accept That 
His Love For Us Can Never Be Consumed
Never Over-Spent! 

Enduringly, Obediently, Trust The Lord Christ
Day In ... Day Out
And 
You Will Raise The Vault Of Heaven
When With The Redeemed Of All The Ages
At The Welcome Home Banquet
In Victory You Shall Shout! 

Pass Along The Sure Word ...

Jesus Christ Always, Always, Saves! 
Believe Him At His Blood-Penned Word
And 
You Shall Be Eternally Blessed
Because
On The Accursed Cross On Mount Calvary
He Gave His Eternal Word! 

I Beseech You, Brethren 
Please Do Not Join The Doubting, Gainsaying
Disbelieving, Disobedient, Faithless, Goat Herd!

Those Who Shall Live Forever
Belong ... Not To A Lost Herd
But To The Obedient Sheep Flock
Which Resides In The Only Safe Fold!


The Lord Christ 
Is
The Only Good Shepherd
The Shepherd Of Rest!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Faith Is For Fools!?!



Outward Dangers
And
Inward Fears
Often Conspire To Make This Life Seem Harsh
And
Even Bitter To The Taste
And
More Than The Obedient Christian
Can Possibly Bear!

Eyesight Is A Lie
AndOverwrought Feelings Are Among Satan's Best Tools
But
The Faith Of The Lord Jesus
Is
The Enduring Christian's Prized Jewel!

Faith Is For Fools!

I'd Rather Be  A Fool For My Jesus
Than An Abused Slave To Destructive Sin
And
I'd Rather Hold To That Certain Hope
Than To Believe That Life Owes Me Something
And
Have To Run To Mind-Altering Dope
With This Daunting Short Life To Cope!

Yes, This Life Is Short
And I Did Not Ask To Be Born
So This Life Therefore Owes Me Something
Before My Breath From Me, Unwillingly
Is Unceremoniously Torn!

Oh, My!
I Thought I Had A Problem
But
Your Problem Is Far Bigger Than Mine!

I, At Least Have A Forever Friend
My Savior
My Redeemer
The Shepherd Of Rest
The Loved And Loving Master
On Whom I Can ... And Do
Always, Always, Depend!

You Lie, You Liar!
Self Is Number One!
No One Can Be Trusted!
Take Care Of Self Always
And You'll Always Be The Number One!

What A Sad Life It Must Be
Always Looking In The Circus Mirror
That Elongates The Head
And
Stretches Long The Hands And Feet
And
Making One Appear As Something
Best Left In Nightmarish Sleep!

I Beg Your Pardon! 
My Life Is Not A Nightmare!

Dear Friend,
Nightmare It Must Be
When Uplifted Self Obscures The Son
The Son Of The Living Eternal Blessing God
The Always Available
Always Giving Son Of Those Called Man!

Outward Dangers Are Frightening
And
Inward Dangers Are The Worse
But
Thankfully I Have For My Saving Grace
The Great And Glorious King Of The Universe!

My Part In The Great Controversy
Is
To Be Obedient To The Law Of God
To Trust My Jesus In Whatever He Says
To Keep Hold Of The Faith That Daily He Gives
And
Do Not His Sacrifice For Me Betray!

I, Of My Own Will
Choose To Follow The Lord!
I Choose To Permit Him To Safely Lead Me ... Home
Because
I Choose To Believe His Blood-Bought Promise That
After Enduring All Things For His Love
I Shall Enter The Heavenly Paradise
A Rightful Recipient Of
The Gifts Of The Great Reward!


Outward Dangers Are Of The Devil!
Inward Fears Are Of The Doubting Self
But
As A Confessed Sin-Repentant Forgiven 

Redeemed Child Of The Household Of Faith
With Inflows Of Daily Grace
And
Daily Faith
And
The Living Eternal Word
The Good News
- The Gospel -
Daily Imbibed
And
Gratefully Utilizing The Prayer Of Faith For Help
For Provision
For Protection
For Direction
In Worship For Praise
I Am Jesus Christ's Responsibility
Because
I Have Given Unto Him, Me
My Sovereign Will
My Renounced Own-Way
And
I Know Of A Surety
Jesus Christ Will Guard
Guide Lead
Correct
And
Feed Me
And
Lead Me Safely To His Home
Cherished ... All The Way!


Friend,
No Matter What Befalls Me
No Created Being Shall Stall Me
Or
Prevent Me From Leaning On My Jesus
No Matter What The World Calls Me!


We
- You And I -
Have A Dear Friend Called Christ Jesus
And
Upon Request
The Comforter
- Almighty God The Holy Spirit Of Truth -
And
The Influencing Holy Angels
Who Encourage Us To Do The Good And The Right
And
I Tell You Truth
Against Benighting Sin
All Of These Heavenly Intelligences
- Concerned With Your Soul's Salvation -
Will, Indeed, Help Us To Win The Fight!


I Really Wish I Had A Personal Savior-Friend
To Bless And Keep Me
Someone On Whom I Can Wholeheartedly 

Constantly Unfailingly Depend!

You Do!

I Do!?!

You Do.
Just Open Your Heart's Door To The Holy One
Who Is Quietly Knocking
And
Diligently See To It 
That The Holy God You Stop Belligerently Mocking!


I Am Ashamed!

You Should Be Amazed That 
The Lord Of Life Personally Loves You!

I Am Now Officially Sad!

You Should Be Wholeheartedly Glad That 
Amazing Love Is Calling Unto You!

I Was ... Am ... Lost And Alone 
In The Midst Of The Illuminated Crowd!

You Are Found Of The Faithful God
And
The Voice Of Him Who Calls And Teaches You
Will Enlighten And Enliven
Without Ever Being Loud!


That's It!!
I Have Made My Decision!

I Desire The Love Of Your Jesus!
I Desire To Have Your Jesus As Mine!
I Here And Now Deny The Liar
Who Has Long Blighted My Life ...!


... Prayer Is A Sharp Knife!

I Shall Cut Him Out Now!

Remember, Beloved!
Remember ... No Need To Vow!
Remove Something Bad ... Install Something Good!


Salvation Is A Journey
And
Never, Ever, A Horse Race!


Cast All Your Cares On Christ Jesus
And
You Will Not Make Shipwreck Of Holy Faith!


Learn To Lean!
Lean And Learn!
Submit Yourself To The Lord!
Be Obedient!
Do The Will!
Walk Meekly Before The Lord
And
Trust Him
And
You Will Not Be Cast Into Outer Darkness
Like Those Refusing Free Grace
And
Available Mercy
Like Those Willful Disobedient Members Of
Satan's Lost-Goat Herd!


Do You Know What The Obedient Sheep Says
To A Disobedient Goat!?!


No! Can't Say That I Do!

Baaaaaad!!

I Like You!
You're Good!
