VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Banana: Slip The Split

Some Things In Life Are Easy!
Some Things In Life Are Hard
But
If You Stick To The Living Word
And
The Way Of Jesus Christ The Lord
You Will Never Accept Old Wicked Satan's 

Fancy Calling Card!

You ... Self-Willed

Indulging Waywardness

Wantonness
Loving Things Shiny And New

And
Making Life All About You
Is
The Way Of The Deceiver
The Father Of Lies
Who Has No Qualms About
Basting You In Honey
And
Dumping You In A Hornets' Nest
After Having Rolled You In Red Ants
And
Biting, Biting, Flies!

Satan Will Tempt You To Sin
And
Then To The Heavenly Father Turn You In!
Satan Will Feed You A Goodly Pinch Of Cheap Snuff
And
To Let Every Body Know What You're Doing
He'll Huff And He'll Puff
And
He'll Blow Your House Down
To The Ground
Where You're Rolling In Pain
In Shame
From Playing The Game Of Life
Lived For Self
Where He Held The Marked Deck
And
You ... Being Gullible
Didn't Realize 
Or Willfully Ignored The Fact That
You Were Going To Get Your Neck Bre'k
By A Boss Who Had Polished
The Bottom Of Your New And Costly
Walking The Wrong Way Shoes
And
Caused You To Walk 
On Slippery-Skinned Banana Peels
As He Watches You Do The Dance Of Death
On The Way To Hell And Damnation
The Unrepentant Sinner And Satan's Known Portion!

It Does Not Have To Be This Way!
Jesus Christ Already Paid For All Your Sins
And
He Has Given You Carte Blanche:

Accept My Sacrifice For You!

Take My Hand!

Believe Me!

Trust Me!

Worship Me, And Obey

And
At The Appointed Time

Live With Me Forever

Where There Is No End To Day!

Deny The Liar, Satan
Invite Into Your Life
The Abiding Holy Spirit

And

Willingly

Come Follow After Me!

There Is No Need For You

For Your Own Sin To Have To Pay!
Bless Me With Your Love
And
Willing Service
And
Live With Me
Where The Glory Cannot Fade!

Brethren, 

All Things May Be By Worldly Standards

Legal, Lawful, Acceptable, Profitable

But

That Does Not Mean

- In The Sight Of The Lord -

That They're Good Or Right 

So, Do Your Self a Favor

And

Do Not Under Worldly Wisdom Labor

But

Seek, Instead

To Make Yourself ... To The Living God, Eternal

Something Of A Sweet Savor!

If The Word Of The Living God Says: "No Go!"

With The Worldly Flow, Don't Go!

Don't Go With The Popular

The Convenient

Because

At The End Of The Day

At The End Of Your Life

When Your Probation Is Ended

And

You Then Have To ... At The Resurrection

Face The King Who Gave You Life

The World Will Not Be Present

To Share In Your Reward

Because

The World And Its Adherents

Will Be Facing The Same King

The Same Judge

The Almighty God!

Know The Right ...

You Are A Kingdom Of One

When It Comes To Your Living The Godly

Or The Ungodly Life!

What You Do Determines Where You Go

So, Again

Do Your Self A Favor

And

The Things ... The Shiny, Pretty

Burnable, Can't Carry Them With You, Things

Out Of Your Grabby Hands Let Go!

The Lord Has Promised Us A Forever Home!

He Has Promised Rest And Peace!

He Has Promised Grace And Mercy

And

From Living In Sin

Sweet, Sweet, Relief!

Trust The Lord Who Made You

And

Ignore That One, Satan, Who Shall Surely Betray You!

Jesus Christ

Saves The Willing

And

Truly Repentant Sinner

To The Uttermost!
