VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Almighty God's Law ... IMMUTABLE!

I Don't Care!
I Live Under Grace!
I Can Do Whatever I Want
And I Shall Still Be Saved Into The Eternal City!

Get A Hold Of Yourself!
You Know That You Are Talking Rubbish
So Please Stop!

Why Should I!?!
Grace Is Unmerited Favor
So I'm Good To Gone Home!

Darcy, Let Me Ask You A Question!
Did Jesus Christ Die To Save You!?!

Of Course, He Did!

Why Did He Die To Save You!?!

He Died Because Me And My Kind
Broke The Law Of God!

Couldn't Someone Else Do That Job!?!

Of Course, Not!
Innocent Blood Was Needed
And Jesus Christ Was The One Truly Innocent!

So Does That Mean That 
You Can Continue To Break The Law Of God!?!

Sure Does!
No, Wait!

I'm Waiting!
Can You Break The Law Of God
- At-Will -
Since Jesus Christ Paid The Price
For Your Personal Sin!?!

I'm Not Under Law!
I'm Under Grace!

So ... My Unwise Friend
For What Did Jesus Christ Die
And
Did He Really Have To Die!?!

He Had To Die!
He Personally Had To Die To Save Me!

Really!?!
So Does That Not Then Make The Law Of God
Immutable!?!

Huh!?!

Tell Him In Little Words, Willard!

Be Nice, Ferdy!

Why Should I!?!
He's Been Tormenting Us Forever
Calling Us Fools For Following The Law Of God!

Ferdy, Please Set The Example
That Is, Light A Candle For The Devil
And 
Make It A Good One!
Never Follow Fashion
If You Hope To Live In Peace With The Lord!

I'm Sorry!
It's Just That ...!

... I Know!
Just Remember: 

Christ's Character

Comes Before

Redemption's Elevation!

I'm Sorry!

Back To The Topic At Hand ...

If Jesus Christ
Had To Die To Save Man
- To Return Man To The Bosom Of The Father -
For Breaking The Law Of The Eternal God
Then
The Law Of The Eternal God
Is
As Is The Eternal God
That Is, Immutable
Unchanging
Enduring
Everlasting
Aka Eternal
No Matter What To Fallen Man
Says The Wily Fraud!

Lest You Who Elevate Yourselves
Above The Law Of God
Think That The Law Of God
Is
Yeah Or Nay
As Becomes The Desire Of
The Satan-Inspired Demi-God
Please Recognize The Fact That 
Since The Plan Of Redemption
- Organized Before The Creation Of The World -
Had To Be Activated
It Should Tell All And Sundry That
In The Life Of Fallen Man
The Law Of God Should Always Ever Assuredly
Take Primacy
Take First Place!

Please, Tip Toe ...

Think Carefully  
You Who Decide Which Part Of The Law
"Works Best" For You
And
Know That The Transcript Of God's Character
Unequivocally Says:

Wait A Minute!
I've Never Heard That Scripture!

Well, My Brother
You Just Heard It
And, Now
You Are Without Excuse
- Before The Eternal God -
For The Contrary Path 
You've Heretofore Been Taking!

And ...

Just In Case You Decide 
In The Alexandrian Philosophers' Wisdom That
You Have Doubts
King Solomon, Himself, Said:

Jesus Christ, Himself, Asked His Father
In Behalf Of His Brethren, To:

I've Got A Question For You:

What Does Preserved Mean!?!

Anything That Is Preserved
Is Something Made To Last
Beyond What Is Considered A Normal Life Span!

In That Case
- And Based On Your Response -
You Should Know That
The Word Of God Is Preserved!
King David Said:

The Word Of God 
Is 
Truth
And 
Just In Case You're Still Doubting
Hear King David, Again:

Would You Be So Bold
As To Denigrate The Word Of The God
Who Says That His Word 
Is
Magnified Above His Name!?!

I Think I'm Going To Be Sick!

Just Try To Be Sick Of Sin!
You'd Get A Better Result!

Let's Just Cut To The Chaste!
Give Him Timothy!

Oh, Yeah!

Oh, Man!
There Goes My Old Neighborhood!

That's Good!
It Needed Razing To The Ground!

Brother,
Let Me Give You A Word Of Caution:

What You Feel
What You Think Is Personally Right
What You Want To Do For Personal Comfort
Is
Never Above The Word Of God!

God Said "It!"
Believe "It!"
Let "It" Be Settled In Your Heart
Because
To Obey 
Is 
Better Than To Sacrifice!

Your Present Walk 
Is 
Leading You Toward A Monumental Sacrifice!
Avoid It Because It Is Avoidable!

Do Not Indulge In Presumptuous Sin!
You Are Not Against The Holy God Winning!
You Are A Pawn Of The Devil!
A Chess Piece In The Great Controversy
So
Be Wise Unto Salvation
And
Over To The Living God
Give Your Heart's Lease!
For You
He Is Sure Sin Relief!

PRAYER: Lord, Feed Your Children ...!

Father,

You Are Love

And

You Have Promised

Never To Let Me Go

And, So

For Peace

And

Because Of Him Who Is My Peace

I Rest My Longing Soul In Thee!

Lord,

I Am Tired Of Sin

And

I Need Your Promised Rest

For, In You

My Soul Is Blessed!

I Am Hungry For You

For You Are Truth!

Please Feed Me

With Food Fit For Me!

I Have Been Walking As One Blind

And

I Need You, Lord

For You Are Light ... Guide Me!

As Goes All Mankind

And

By Your Appointing

- As The Curse For Sin -

I Am Slowly Dying

And

I Need You

For You Are Life!

Please Make Me Over

So That In The Fullness Of Time

Unto Everlasting Life

I May By Right In Christ Cross Over!

Lord, 

I Approach Unto You Boldly

- Nothing Wavering - 

Calling Upon The Merits Of The Holy Jesus

Who Took My Death

To Give Me His Life!

Please Accept The Innocent Blood

For

He Who Shed It

IS

The Beloved

The Only Begotten Son

Shiloh, Himself

The Prince Of Peace

The Shepherd Of Rest

In Whom This Believing Soul Is Blessed!

Father,

I Come For My Miracle!

I Am Expecting That Which Is Impossible

To Me And My Kind

And

I Expect It, Lord

Because You Are Almighty God

Faithful Forgiving

Blessing Correcting

Providing Guiding

Unchanging

And

Abiding!

You, Lord, Are My God

And

With A Humble Contrite

And

A Sorrowing-For-Sin Heart

I Seek To Touch The Divine

Who Has Everlasting Love

And

Great Compassion

For Wayward Wandering

Disobedient And Transgression Mankind!

Father,

Take Me By The Hand

And

Show Me Your Ways!

Take Me By My Heart

And

Teach Me The Truth!

Take Me By My Eyes

And

Pry Me Away From The Lusts

That Blind Me To Holy Light

And

Unstop My Itching Ears

And

Heal Them With The Balm Of Gilead!

Place My Feet, Lord

On Straight Paths, Narrow

And

Lead Me To The Green Pasture

Attended By Sweet Water

And

Anoint My Head With The Oil

That Is The Holy Spirit Of Truth

And

Fill My Cup Of Blessing

To Sure Overflowing!

My Mind, Lord 

Is Fixed

On That Place Called Glorious

Because

I Desire To Spend

The Never-Ending Day With You!

I Desire To See You As You Are

And

I Desire To Know You Just As You Know Me!

Until Then, Lord

Help Me To Keep The Song Of The Redeemed

In My Converted-To-Christ Heart! 

Help Me To Keep The Light Of The Glorious City

In My Healed Eyesight! 

Help Me To Hear

And

To Join In The Singing Of The Song Of Jubilee

Sung By The Hearts Of The Faithful

Those Blessed Of The Lord!

We Are The Children Believing!

Remember, Dear Father

The Other Children

In The Various Flocks 

Who Know The Voice Of Jesus Christ

And

Who Are Listening

For That Soft Voice

To Become The Loud Cry

Calling Them Out Of The Confusion

That Is Babylon!

Help Them To Deny The False Prophets

That Preach Lies!

Help Them The Evil One

To Forcefully Deny!

Please, Lord

Continue To Feed Your Children

With Food Suitable

For Their Ages And Stages

And

Ever For Their Spiritual Prosperity

And

Eternal Blessing

And

Let Not The Glitter And The Glamor Of

This Known Dying World

Ever To Us Be Anything But

Fleeting And Undesirable!

Please Let Hope

- Like Freedom In Christ - 

Be Our Song And Our Service

For

We Love You, Lord!

Lead Us Gently, Safely, Home

Even As I Ask These Few Blessings

In The Matchless Name Of

Jesus Christ The King!

Harken, Lord, And Do For Us

What Only The Holy God Can Do

For You Are The Living God

Eternal

Wise

True!

Come Soon!

AMEN.

HE SAID: I Did! - Trusting In The Lord Christ!

I Am In Love
With A Jealous God!

Aren't They All?!

I Don't Know
About A "They All!"
I Just Know About The Jealous God
Whose Name Is Jealous!

Really!?!

Yes!
He Does Not Share!
He Desires All Of My Love
For His Own
AND
As For His Glory
It Is All His!
His, Alone!

He Is So Giving!
He Told Me Up Front:

I Will Always Love You!
I Will Ever Provide For You!

He Told Me Straight
What's Good To Aspire
AND
Plainly Informed Me
What's Best To Retire!

Sounds Really Controlling!

Oh, No!
Not At All!

He Is Just Very Specific
About The Heart
He Holds In His Hand!

When We First Met
He Told Me Quite Plain:

This Is All Blessings!
He Showed Me The Right!

This Is All Cursings!
He Showed Me The Left!

AND
Told Me To Choose
Which One I Will Receive
AND
Never At Any Point
Did He Try To Me Deceive!

He Said I Have Choice!
He Says I Have Will!
I Can Choose To Give Him My Will
Which Will Permit Him
To Mark Out My Path
AND
At The End Of This Life
My Trove Of Blessings
He Will Continue
- For Eternity -
To Fill!

Sounds Like A Bill Of Goods To Me!

To You, Maybe!
But, To Me
My Beating Heart
At His Name
Completely And Totally
Thrills!

How Gullible!

Excuse Me?!
I Don't Understand!

My God Is Holy!
My God Is True!
My God Is Faithful!
AND
He Is Calling Out To You!

What God Ever Does Anything
Except Hold Out Their Frozen Hand?!

Ahhh! There's Your Problem!

Frozen-God Hand!
Frozen-Handed Gods
Are Not Gods!
They Are Idols!

My God Is Alive!
I Can Call Upon Him
At Any Time
AND
He Answers!
He Responds!
He Takes Care Of Me
AND
All That He Requires
Expects From Me
Is Faithfulness
No Doubt
Constancy
No Wavering
Trust
No Backsliding!
In Him
I Am Confiding!

One Is Born Every Day!

What Is That?!

A Sucker!

Oh, My!
I Don't Know Of Anyone Else!
I Speak For Myself!
I Know That I Was Lonely
Lost
Floundering
Wandering
Wayward
Alone
When I Met Jesus
And, Now
My Life Is Complete!

He Said:
Cast Your Cares On Me!
I Did!

He Said:
Trust And Obey!
I Am Trying
By His Grace
That Challenge
To Fullfil!

He Said:
Walk In Faith!
I'm Trying Not To Walk By Sight!

He Said:
I Will Never Leave You Nor Forsake You!
I Hold His Hand
Even When I Want To Relent!

Your Funeral!

He Told Me:

It Is Appointed Once

For Man To Die

And Then The Judgment!

Excuse Me?!

Judgment? What Judgment?!

Oh, Dear ...!

The Creator God

Becomes

The Judge Of His Creation

In The Day Of His Appointing

AND ALL MANKIND
Must Give An Accounting

Of His Life's Deeds!

To The Repentant
He Is The Welcoming King!

To The Unrepentant

He Is The Frowning

Aka Executing Judge!

Everybody Tells Me

Enjoy Life!

You Live!

You Die!

End Of Story!

But, YOU ...!!

You've Upset My Apple Cart!

You Just Burst My Bubble

And You've Done Put A Tremble
A Real Tremble

In My Heart!

What Do I Do?!

Where Do I Go?!

Who Can I Turn To -

I Really Don't Want

The Frowning Judge Score!

Jesus Christ

Is The Answer

First Question To Last!

In Him Is Life Eternal!

On Him Your Burdens

You May Cast!

Trust Him - He Is Faithful!

Lean On Him - He Is Strength!

Hold On To Him - He Is Life

AND

Follow Him

For
He Leads To Eternal Life!

Pray For Forgiveness
For The Rotten Deeds Of Your Past Life!

How On Earth Do I Do That?!

Tell The Truth!

Say What You Did!

Acknowledge That You Were Wrong!

Say You Are Sorry

AND

Ask Jesus To Lead You

The Rest Of Your Life

Be It Short Or Long!

Pray Is Personal Communication!

Tell The Truth Freely!

Forgiveness By Confession

And Repentance

Comes Your Way

BUT

Be Assured Of This One Thing

Going To Jesus

Means Satan Is Going To Be Dogging Your Way!

So, Please
Pray
AND

Keep Praying
AND

Keep Trusting!

Trust Gives Growth To Love

And Soon

Satan Will Have To Leave You Alone

At Least For Those Things

For Which

You Did Let Christ's Spill Blood Atone! 

But ... Know This

Give No Place To The Devil!

Not An Inch!

Not Even A Scratch!

When He Calls

Ask Jesus To Answer

AND 
He Will Run From You Far!

No One Has To Die Without Jesus!

No One Has To Face The Judgement Alone!

Jesus Pleads His Blood For The Faithful

AND

The Father Accepts

His Beloved Son's Spilt Blood - It truly Atones!

Will You Pray With Me?!

Our Father

Up In Heaven

We On The Earth

Accept The Promise

Offered To Us

In Jesus Christ's Spilt Blood!

Here Is A New Resident

For The Eternal Kingdom

Who Desires Forgiveness

From The God Who Is Love ...! 

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: JOURNEY: The B-TAB Tack

It Was A Wild West Locomotive!
The Whistle Said:

Brooo! Brooo!

As It Went!

I Had Spent All That I Had
AND
This Journey To The Unknown
Was For Me
No Fad
For I Was Trusting The Lord
For
By Jesus Christ's Faith
I Was For This Great Journey Clad!

The Sign Painted On The Engine Had Said:

Prayer And EFFORT!

The Insignia On The Conductor's Hat Said:

Effort And PRAYER!

I Thought To My Self ...
Strange ... Strange Indeed!
Until I Saw The Train's Engineer
Get Down On His Knees!

He Was Praying!

Okay! Okay!

I Took A Window Seat
AND
As Is My Custom
I Asked The Living God
For
Travelling Mercies, Please!

Suddenly ...

The Call Sallied Forth:

All Abooardd!

ALLLL ABOOARDD!

Soon ... 

We Were On Our Way!

Hmmm ...

I Don't Know What Caused It
BUT
Something ... 

Something ... Was Tickling My Consciousness!

I Looked Ahead!
I Looked Around!
In Front Was Just Backs Of Heads!
To The Side - Nothing Outstanding!
Outside
Pastures Green

AND

Even A Meandering Stream
BUT
As The Train Picked Up Momentum
What I Heard Said
You Will Not Believe!

The Train's Wheels
Were Talking With Speed!

I Tell You True
Those Wheels Spoke Plain!
I Heard It I Tell You!
It Was A Beautiful Refrain:

Believe God!

Trust His Word!

Act In Faith!

Blessings Will Come!

Soon The Train Was Going So Fast
That All I Could Hear Was:

Believe God!

Blessings Will Come!

Coming Into Some Stations
I Would Hear The Rhythm Change:

Believe God!

Trust His Word!

Leaving Some Stations
It Said:

Act In Faith!

Blessings Will Come!

But ...

I Loved It Best
When We Travelled Through The Country
AND
All The Contacts Were Made
AND
That Journeying Train Would Say ...

Believe God!

Trust His Word!

Act In Faith!

Blessings Will Come!

That Train

Seemed To Have A Message

To Fit

Every Destination

Every Departure Station!

I Had Been A Little Sad

To Leave The Known Behind
BUT
By The Time I Reached My Destination
I Had A Song In My Heart
Laughter In My Mind
AND
Hope In My Eye
For
I Had Been Reminded
That My God
Is Not Pie In The Sky
AND
I Knew
God's Heaven With My Jesus
Soon
Soon
Will Be In My Real View!

I Believe ... GOD!

I Trust God's ... WORD!
I Will ACT aka WALK ... In FAITH
For
I Truly Accept The Truth That
God's BLESSINGS WILL - Upon Me - COME!

What Is Your Conveyance Telling You?!

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

Trust In The Lord With Your All

Because

In That Way

 You Cannot Fall!

Satan Thinks He Controls The Ball

And

Its Residents All

But

Has No Choice But To Act

Inside

God's Omnipotent Call!
