VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: PRIDE - D.O.A! + PRAYER: We Are Committed To Christ, Dear Father!





... The Eye Is The Window To The Soul
And
Your Tone Of Voice Speaks To Your Ultimate Goal!

A Soft Answer Turns Away Wrath
But
Unsurprisingly
Truth, Plainly, Compassionately, Spoken
-  Considered By Many To Be Egregious Words -
Often Leads To A Blood Bath!

So, Brethren, What Acronym Shall We Use
So That The Congregation Is Not Confused!?!

B. S. T. S.
Better Safe Than Sorry!

D. O. A...!

... Dead On Arrival!?!
Have A Heart, Man!

Oh, No!
You Misunderstand!
It Means Devils Offer Apples!
It Means: Don't Obfuscate - Ameliorate!

I'll Say That It Means
Delightful Opportunities Await
The Darlings Of The Lord
But Woe Betide The Deceived Followers Of
Satan, The Bold God-Fraud!

And I Say That Dead On Arrival Is Appropriate
To Describe Those Who Arrive At Judgment Day
With Their Known-Sin Unconfessed
Souls Unrepentant!

The Living-Sinner Shall Die!

The Prior-Dead Sinner
And
The Then-Dead Sinner
Shall 1,000 Years Hence Rise To Die Again ... 
Forever
Because
In And At The Love Of Almighty God
They Did Find Offence!

This Is Really Quite Amazing, Actually!
How Does A Created Being

Find Something ... Anything
In The Love Of The Living God 
To Ridicule
To Be Offended Thereby!?!

I Dare Say That In This We See The Hand Of Satan
- The Agent Of Shame -
That Fallen Angel Cruel
Who Thought To Denounce
Deny ... Defy
Dispute ... Denigrate
Bedevil
And
Destroy
His Own Creator
All The While Refusing To Recognize That
In That Stance Lay ... Abject Failure!

Brethren,

Let Nobody Fool You!
Pride Is Costly Array!
It Makes One Skin Cuffings
To Get The Cloth
The Sewing Of Which Requires One 
To Have Personal Currency
- No Discount -
With Which The Bill To Pay!

Let's Call Pride Exactly What It Is!
It's Bill Of Short Goods!

It Is A Sin Against Divinity!

Pride Is A Wide-Awake Delusion!
It's A Can't-Awake-From Illusion
Promoting Confusion
Adjuring Collusion
And

Leading Adherents To A Fiery Final Conclusion!


PRAYER:

Heavenly Father, 
Please Hear Our Prayer!
We Are Committed To Performing
All Your Commandments:
Please Help Us Not To Permit Pride
Over Us To Hold Sway!

Satan Is The Bold Liar
Selling Man Upon Things 
That Should Never Be Sought
And
Failing Abjectly
To Tell The Truth
By Which He, In His Sin, Was Caught!

Jesus Christ Is Righteous
Is Lord, God And King!
Jesus Christ Is Our Master
And
He Is Acknowledged Creator Of 
Man And Everything!

Please Help Us, Dear Father
To Do Exactly As Our Jesus Did:
Help Us To Pray Without Ceasing
To Commune Constantly With You
To Seek You Ever For The Infilling Of
The Sweet Holy Spirit Of Truth
And
For Strengthening By The Holy Angels
The Personal Guardians Of
The Children Of Faith
Who Also Influence Us
To Do The Good And The Right!

Father,
This Battle Is Yours
And
We Are Soldiers In Your Great Army!
Please Help Us To Remain Faithful
Enduringly Faithful
Having No Place In Our Surrendered Hearts
For The Sham
The Shame That Is Called Pride!
Please Help Us In Your Holy Love, Lord
Confidently To Confide And Abide!

The Signs Of The Times Are Everywhere!
Men's Hearts Are Failing Them From Fear
Of Those Things Which Shall Befall The Earth
And
Still More Men Have And Are Taking
The Path Of Least Resistance
Doing Anything And Everything
That Pleases Their Flesh
That Fills Their Eyes
That Speaks To Their Pride In Their Lives
And
The People Of The Living Word
The People Of The Book Of The Eternal God
Are Being Persecuted, Prosecuted
Condemned, Denied
Defiled, Displaced
And Dispatched ... No Grace!

Please, Father
Remember Your Promise To Abraham
Isaac And Jacob-Israel!
Remember Your Promises
As Spoken By Your Own Beloved Son
Our Savior, Jesus
That The Meek Shall Inherit The Earth
That No Child Of Faith Is Ever Alone
Forgotten
Nor Unforgiven For Repented-Of Sin
That All Things Work For Our Good
That There Is A Place Prepared For Us
In Your Many Mansions
That Jesus Is Coming Again, Soon
To Redeem Us Unto Himself!
We Believe You!
Please Bless And Keep Us
In Your Holy Care!

Remember Us, Lord!
Let Your Pitying Love Fall Upon Us, We Pray
For It Is By Holy Faith
That We Are Walking On The Strait Way
Headed To The Hill Zion!

Please, Father
Grant Us These Few Petitions
And
Hasten The Great And Glorious Day
For It Is In Jesus Christ's Holy Name
That We Humbly Pray
And
Importunately Plead!
We Love You, Lord!
Please Come Soon!
AMEN.

Of Black Bulls And Red Hats ...!




Black Bull
Saw Red Hat
AND
Started Behaving Like A Dry Sheet
Like A Pop Kite
Like A Flair Skirt
In A High Wind!

He Was All Over The Place!
He Was Running A Race!
He Was Behaving The Disgrace!
He Was All Up In Red Hat Face!
His Behavior Was Not Chaste!

Red Hat
Stood His Ground
AND
To Black Bull
He Did Not Cower!
He Did Not Bow Down!

Red Hat Arched His Spine
JUSTSO!
AND
Of Rights And Reasons
He Gave Black Bull What For
You Know?!

People! People!
Tell Me What You See!
Did I Call Black Bull A Name!
Did I Up In His Face
Get On Like Brer Nancy?!

I Mind My Own Business!
I Do Not Clown Around!
I Walk With My Spine Straight!
I Neither Give To Another
The Smile Nor The Frown!

It Appears
That I Am To Some A Trigger!
Some To Fear!
Some To Folly!
Some To Sarcasm!
Some To Be Rudely Jolly!

Either Which Way
You, Personally
Chose To Go
Please Be Made Aware
Free Or Paid
I Am Always On Show!

I Do Not Care For Your Theatrics!

I Do Not Care For Your Trite Displays!
I Am Not Amused By Histrionics!
I Am Red Hat
So ...
Deal. Darling. With. That!
I'm The Skinny!
You're The Fat!

Brethren,

The Red Hats Of The World
Are There For All To See!
The Red Hats Of The World
Are Obvious ... Obviously!

The Red Hats State Their Position
Without Every Saying A Word!
The Red Hats Posture
Prance
Position
AND
Preen
AND
You Either Abide In Christ
OR
Set Self In Stride And Join With Others Destruction To Connive
OR
Join Up And Jump With Them
AND
Be Conformed
Barely Alive!

Cussing Will Not Help!
Praying To The Living God Will!

Crying To The Neighbor Won't Help!
Pleading With The Living God Will!

Carrying On Like A Red Hat Won't Help
BUT
Carrying Your Burden
To The One
Who Shed Innocent Red Blood
To Make 
Your Scarlet Sin ... White ... As Snow
Your Red-Like-Crimson Sin ... As Wool
Your Black-With-Sin Dead Heart ... Alive ... In Christ
Your Wandering Feet Wayward Walking ... Shod To Spread The Gospel Of Peace
The Red Rag In Your Mouth Raging ... Speak Peace
Your Mind In Chaos ... Calm ... And At Peace
Your Wrecked And Wretched Present ... Enlivened ... And Joyful ... In Jesus
With And In Whom
Is Our Only
AND
Sweet
Relief And Release 
Will!

The Black Bulls Of This World
Stomp 
Strut
Are Bullish
Bullying
Brash
Never Benign!
They Offend
AND
Are Offended
By Everybody
Everything
Everywhere
Behind Closed Doors
In The Public Square
Behaving Like One With A Brass
Sometimes Glass
Pair
AND
All Who Choose
To Act As
To Be Impacted By
The Black Bulls
Will Never Sleep Peacefully
AND
As Is Oft The Situation
Will Share, Well
Their Share!
Have A Care!

Bottom Line ...

There Is Always A High Wind For A Red Hat
Aka
Exposure!
Banishment!
Obscurity!

There Is Always A Matador For A Black Bull
Aka
Dehorned
Steaked
Trophyized Pair!

For Life
Lived Triumphantly
Abundantly
Take Your Pick
BUT ...

You'd Better Recognize That

Character Is Color Is Character


So ... 

Have Faith In God
AND
Get Jesus Christ's Character
That Is
The  Meek And Gentle Spirit
Against Which There Is No Law
AND
In The Glorious Day
Soon Dawning
You Shall Wear White
- Christ's Righteousness -
AND
All The Universe Of God
Shall Your Accomplishment
Grandly
Gloriously
Gladly, Gladly
Applaud!

Pride
Posturing
Posing
And
Pretending
Offending
And
Taking Offense


Are
Attributes
Known Delights
Specialities
Of
Wicked Satan
The Known Wily Fraud! 

**--**--**--**

Just So You'd Know:


Some Black Bulls Are Red Hats
And
Some Red Hats Are Black Bulls!
