Earnest Examination O. Self Was Expelled From Carnal Man's Class!
It Happened This Way ...
Carnal Man Is A Tenured Professor At
This IS The Way
College Of The Road
- Growing Up Campus -
On The First Full Day Of Classes By Way Of Challenge AND To Pay Off A Debt To No-Ah DeFlood Professor Man Had Given A Semester-Long Assignment
To Read King James' Psalms Take A Position AND Defend It ... To The Death!
Long Story Short ...
He Had Effectively AND With Seeming Efficiency Opened The Can Of Warfare!
This is A Lil' Background ...
Earnest Examination O. Self Had Previously Lovingly Enjoyed The Pleasures Of Sin BUT The Season Of Sinful Enjoyment Did Not Last OR At Least It Did UNTIL His Lot Upon The Deliverer He Had Cast!
Being A Willing And Disciplined Student
He Had Started At The Beginning Of The Psalms
AND
Had Quickly Found ... Wisdom:
BLESSED Is The Man That Delights
In The Law!
Whatsoever He Doeth Shall Prosper!
Thou Art My Son!
Be Wise Now!
Salvation Belongeth Unto The Lord!
Stand In Awe And Sin Not!
Transfixed By Truth He Said In His Heart:
Lead Me, Lord, In Thy Righteousness!
Have Mercy On Me For I Am Weak!
But, Then, He Considered The Statement ...
God Is Angry With The Wicked Every Day!
... And Thought It Reasonable
To Pose A Direct Question To Almighty God:
What Is Man That Thou Art Mindful Of Him?!
With His Soul Satisfied With Truth's Plain Response
He Shouted:
I Will Praise Thee, O Lord, With My Whole Heart!
When He Went To Bed That Night The Song In His Heart Was:
The Lord Is King For Ever And Ever!
In The Middle Of His First Class The Next Morning He Was Given No Other Choice But To Ask Carnal Man:
If The Foundations Be Destroyed
What Can The Righteous Do?!
Not Long Thereafter Things Got Acid Real Fast AND Carnal Man Roared At Him Saying:
Our Lips Are Our Own!
Who Is Lord Over Us?!
After Taking A Thorough Beating At School That Day AND
Becoming Very Discouraged He Went To Bed Praying That Night:
Consider And Hear Me, O LORD My God:
Lighten Mine Eyes
Lest I Sleep The Sleep Of Death!
Before He Closed His Eyes To Rest In Sleep He Wrote On His Notepad:
The Fool Hath Said In His Heart
There Is No God!!!!!
He Awakened The Next Morning Totally Refreshed AND Wrote A Whole Chapter About
He Wrote For Its Conclusion:
I Will Bless The Lord
Who Hath Given Me Counsel!
Hold Up My Goings In Thy Paths
That My Footsteps Slip Not!
Hide Me Under The Shadow Of Thy Wings!
The Semester Was All Of Three Weeks
Three Days
Three Hours And Fifty-Four Minutes Old
When Hellen Damnation Showed Up ... UNANNOUNCED!
Before Long It Became Very Apparent To All Persons Present That A Certain Somebody Was Going To Have Their Guts Turned To Garters All Because Of ...!
Well ...
Earnest Had Brought The Lord To Class - For Real - AND When He Was Forcefully Challenged - In His Newly Acquired Faith - He Had Boldly Stated:
I Will Call Upon The LORD
Who Is Worthy To Be Praised:
So Shall I Be Saved From Mine Enemies!
Just So You Know ...
In That Very Instant De Big Dog Up And Dead!
Hellen Damnation Totally Lost Her Tiny Mind AND Professor Carnal Man Got On Like A Pop Kite In A Fierce Easter-Holiday Wind AND Bedlam And Ruckus Elegantly Came Out Of Darkman Closet!
When The Commotion Was Finally
Administratively Concluded Earnest Examination O. Self Was Summarily Expelled From Carnal Man's Class For. Cause!
If You Had Seen His Departure You Would Have Been Mommy-Daddy-Proud ...
He Left With His Head Raised His Shoulders Squared His Back Ramrod Straight His Faith Strong His Hope For Heaven High His Comforter In His Heart His Very Best Friend Beside Him His Angel Watching Over Him AND Confident That His God His Personal Savior His King His Redeemer AND His Present Help The God Of Creation IS Esconced On Heaven's Glorious Throne!
These Were His Final Words Before The Witnesses:
The LORD Is My Rock
And My Fortress
And My Deliverer;
My God
My Strength
In Whom I Will Trust;
My Buckler
And The Horn Of My Salvation
And My High Tower!
I Shall Not Be Moved!
His Soon-To-Be-Former Classmates Stood Up AND Cheered BUT Carnal Man - Forgetting Where He Was - Vividly Swore!
From That Day Forward Earnest Examination O. Self Earnestly Chose To Unashamedly Trust God AND Went After Sin No More!
For The Record ...
The Master - Our Coming King - Is Well Pleased! His Soul Is Satisfied AND There Is Rejoicing Up In Heaven For The Lost One Returned To The Safe Fold!
As For Carnal Man AND Hellen Damnation It Was Revealed - Publicly Revealed - That They Were Involved In An Extracurricular Activity Or More Particularly Intimately Involved In An Affaire De Coeur!
When All The Dirty Linen Was Thoroughly Aired It Revealed Something Long Suspected BUT Never Vocally Identified:
Carnal Man Carnal Professor Man Is A Hit Man For The Goat Clan AND Specifically The Goat-Herder Himself God Wannabe!
When, Eventually Earnest Examination O. Self Received The Polo Declaring The News
He Replied:
Saved By Grace!
Saved By Grace!
Thank God Almighty
I Was
I Am
Saved By Grace!
Earnest Examination O. Self
To This Very Day
Glorifies Almighty God AND Gives Jesus Christ Total Praise!
