HAPPY SABBATH + GRACE: Please Take It!

Almighty God's Grace
Day By Day
Moment By Moment
Does Not Cease To Amaze Me!

The Gift ...

Love ... Personified!
     Love ... Exemplified!
          Love ... Not Denied
But
Plainly Demonstrated
Is
Most, Most, Most Assuredly ... Mine!

Amazing Grace

Places Me

On

The "To Heaven!" Incline!

I Trust The Giver Of All Precious And Pleasant Gifts
And
I Will Not Be Left Behind
Because
Toward Doubting Truth
I Was Recognizably Swift!

I Choose To Walk With Wisdom
To Be A Willing, Ready, Doer
And 
Not Just a Hearer Of The Word
Because
I Desire To Eternally Inhabit
The Lot Which The Lord Says 
- As An Overcomer -
Is 
Irrevocably Mine!

Almighty God's Grace Gives Me Power
By Prior Proof
     With Current Action
          For Present Blessing
And
Future, Eternal, Gain!

Almighty God's Grace 
Sows Seeds For Salvation
And
I Wittingly, Willingly, Eat Its Sweet Fruit!
It's All Gain ... No Shame!

Grace Let's Me Rest
     Gives Me Hope
          Shores Up My Faith
And
Assures Me Of My Own Soul's Free Gift Of
Eternal Salvation!
I Must Tell The Nation!

Almighty God's Grace

Is

Guiding Light!

Almighty God's Grace Is Food:

Salt ... Tenderizes, Seasons And Sanitizers, Preserves
Wheat ... Makes Good Bread For Leisurely Eating, Says That I Am His, Saved
Oil ... Anoints Me For His Glory And Makes Palatable The Bread Of The Word
Water ... Washes Away Sin, Slakes My Thirst For Truth
Wine ... Good Doctrine In And Out Of Season

Almighty God's Grace 
Is 
Sufficient For Me!
Almighty God's Grace Fills And Satisfies Me!

Believe And Live ...

No One Falling On The Good Lord's Grace 
Will Ever Be Denied
Be Sent Away Empty-Handed
Cast Aside
Cast Out!

All Willing Are Welcome!
For Mercy, By Grace
In Truth For Love
Unto Our Glorious God Importunately Cry!

Grace Is Not A Lie ...

Take Grace Because You Believe It Blesses!
Share The Good News Because You Received Grace 
And 
Are Blessed!
Give Thanks For Your Precious Gift Of Grace
Because
With It, By It, Through It 
Old Satan Cannot Your Oft' Hurting Heart Deceive!

Grace
     Mercy
          Blessing
                Salvation:
                        Justification
                        Ongoing Sanctification
                         Future Glorification!

Almighty God's Grace Is Free
To Me ... To Thee
To Every Single Living Body!
There Is No Storage Fee

And
It Is Available All Day
Daily!

Take Almighty God's Grace
His Undying Love
His Perfect Peace
And
Dare To Live As One Set Apart ... Holy!

Jesus Christ Came Down

And

Lived As One Lowly

So That By Our Acceptance

Of

His Purchased-For-Us Grace

- That Unmerited Favor -

We May Be Raised Up, Regenerated

To The Station Glorious

Zion Beautiful

Graceful

Lofty!

HAPPY SABBATH + Jesus Christ Fights Our Battles!

We Are Blessed With The Creator Who Is Our Savior

The Redeemer
Who Is Our Forever Friend
The Holy God
Who Is Our King
The Shepherd
Who Is Our Captain
Our Commander
He Who Goes Before Us
Stands Behind Us
He Who Is Our Exceeding Great Reward
Our Champion
Who Has Already Won For Us
The Victory Against Sin, Self
And
Satan, Our Base Adversary
The Murdering God-Fraud! 

Let's Praise Jesus Christ The Lord!

Soooo, You Said All That To Say What!?!

I Am Saying, Charlie Haus
That We Have A God
- The God -
Who Fights Our Battles
When We Permit Him So To Do!

He Will Fight My Battles
And
He Will Fight Your Battles, Too!

I Ain't Got No Battles!

Wow!
And You Actually Said That With A Straight Face!

If He Doesn't Have Any Battles, Sanita
You May Want To Step Away From Him
From His Vicinity
Just A Teensy Bit!

What Are You Talking About!?!

Oblivious Olivia,
This Man Self-Identifies As A Bible-Bearing
Scripture-Sharing
Holy God-Fearing
For His Brother Caring
Committed To Christ Christian
And
He Says And I Quote:

"I Ain't Got No Battles!"

Oh, My!

Oh, Yeah!

Our Brother, Here

A Confessed And Christian Called
Is
Headed For A Fall
Into Fire
Where Will Rest Such As Cain
Satan And King Saul
And
All Who Choose Self Over Salvation
Self-Help Over Sanctification
Diminished Glory Over Available Grace
Pride Over Penitence
Money Over Mercy
Gossip Over Good News
Feelings Over Faith
Doubt Over Deliverance
Putrid Praise Over Praise-Worthy Piety
Worldliness Over Wisdom
And
Jacked Juice Over Just Jesus ...!

... Hell Over Heaven!?!

Sure! 

If You Want To Expose The Dying Father-Liar's Face!

Let Me Blunt!
Any Christian Thought True
Who Is Not Going From One Trouble To Another

Facing The Necessary Tests For Purification From Sin

And, Instead

Is Comfortably, Famously,

Fabulously Getting Along With The Sin-Loving World
Is 

Living A Stone-Cold, Bold, Lie!

Hear, Hear!

Lord, Lord!

Martha, Martha!

Simon, Simon!

Uh, Oh!

Uh, Huh!

I Don't Understand!
Let Me In!

The Lord Jesus Said That
Not Everyone Who Says, Lord, Lord
Shall Enter The Kingdom Of Heaven!

To Mary And Lazarus' Sister
The Lord Said:

Martha, Martha 

Thou Art Careful And Troubled

About Many Things

... Mary Has Chosen That Good Part

And It Shall Not Take It From Her!

To Disciple Peter
The Follower Impetuous
Jesus Christ Said:

Simon, Simon

Satan Desired To Have You

To Sift You As Wheat

But I Have Prayed For You

That Your Faith Fail Not:

And When Thou Art Converted

Strengthen The Brethren!

So, Wait!
Are You Trying To Tell Me That
I Am Not Truly, Fully, Walking With The Lord Christ
That I'm Playing Passive With The Promise
That I'm Proud Not Praying
That I'm Not Free In The Faithful
That I'm Playing Footsie With King Fraud!?!

You Said It, Bub ...!

... And You Said It Bluntly! 

I Applaud You!

What Do You Intend To Do About It!?! 

You Know Full Well That You Can't Have Worldly "Peace"
And
Jesus Christ's Eternal Peace
At One And The Same Time!

But I Didn't Do Anything!

Exactly!

But, But ...!

... From Jesus Christ
You Get The Gift Of Daily Faith
And
Daily Faith Has A Paying Job!
Faith Works!

Truth Be Told ...

There Is Nothing Passive About Christ's Pure Christianity!
Christ Worked ... He's Still Working!
His Father Worked ... He's Still Working

And
We Must Work!

Anyone Who Is Not Working With Jesus
Is 

Working Against Him And Scattering Abroad!

If You're Not Helping Jesus
You're Helping Satan!

If You're Not Hampering, Hindering, Satan
You're Hampering, Hindering, Jesus!

Just Remember That
Every Position Occupied
Has Its Prescribed Reward!

Satan Doesn't Bother The One Who Is His!
He Bothers Those That Are Christ's
And
A Reformed Christian Will Have
- Not May Have -
Certain Strife Aka Battles
In His Life
In This Life
In His Walk To Christ's Eternal Life!

But I Like My Life!

That's Good!

Now You're Confusing Me!

Not At All!
If You Had Said You "Loved" Your Life

I'd Be Concerned That

You Would Be Hard-Pressed To Give It Up
But
Since You Just Like It
With The Lord's Help
You Can Aspire To The Life That Is Love
The Love That Gives Life
The Life That Is Eternal
The Life In Heaven Above!

Lord, I Need Help, And Hurry!

AMEN!

HAPPY SABBATH: Deal!?! No Deal!

Future Good
And
Momentary Indulgence
Were Squaring Off!

At Stake ...

A Mess Of Red Bean Stew
Against The First Born's Birth-Right!

The Struggle Was Real ...

Physical Hunger ... Against Spiritual Longing! 
Love Of Almighty God ... Against Self-Love! 
Rush To Idolatry ... Against Walk To Salvation!

The Result Of The Tussle
Will ... Forever
Change The Earth!
The Struggle Is Still Going On!

The King Of Love
The Good Shepherd
- The Lord Of Life - 

The Angel Of The Covenant

The High Priest Of Our Profession

The Creator

The Redeemer 

Our True Friend  Was Watching!
He Is Still Watching ... Today!

Imagine ... If You Will

Twins!

One, Smooth Studious
Careful Caring Devoted
- A Homebody Farmer Shepherd - 
Longing For The Priesthood!

The Other, Irreligious
Hairy Wild
Reckless Indisciplined
Interested Only In Wealth 

Power
And
Unrestrained Freedom!
There Is Nothing New Under The Sun!

Theirs Is A Collison Of ... Ideals
With
Eternal Implications!

Somebody Is Going To Cry Crocodile Tears
And
Somebody Is Going To Have To Run

Far, Far, Away!

Sin Does Not Pay! 

Jacob Was Righteous: He Loved The Son Of Man! 

Esau Was Wicked: He Loved Mammon!

Jacob Wanted To Serve The Lord For Heavenly Reward! 

Esau Wanted To Be The Lord Who Rewards! 

Jacob

- By Deceit -

Tried To Help The Lord

And

Ended Up Running Away

His Life To Keep!

For 20 Years

He Looked After Greedy Uncle Laban's Goats And Sheep! 

Esau Tried To Help Himself

By Trivializing His Birth-Right

And

In So Doing

He Brought Forth The Idea Of Planned Fratricide

To Regain What He Had Held 
With A Careless Hand Light!

Be Ye Warned ... 

We Do Not Help God

By Doing Wrong To Gain The Right! 

All We Get For Our Base Endeavors

Is 
Upon Our Prosperity A Blight

And

All Who Will To Serve The Almighty

Should Take This Revelation To Heart

And

Trust The Eternal God  ... In His Providence

His Timely Blessing To Impart!

Believe It ...

The Lord's Ways Are Right! 

His Timing Is Never Late! 

Carnality Can Never Bless Divinity

So Do Not In That Diabolical Play 

Choose To Participate! 

Heads Up ...

Those Who Are The Blessed Of God

The Heirs Of His Sure Salvation

Will

Must

Wrestle With The Lord

In The Dark Night Of Despair

If

It Is Their Soul's Desire

To Meet The King Of Love In The Air!

Repentance Is A Blessing ... 

We Must Confess All Our Known Sin! 

We Must Repent Of The Sordid Past! 

We Must Accept And Stand On The Promises Given 

And

Declare Our Allegiance To The Promise-Keeper

And

Being Humble

- Of A Contrite Spirit -

Deliver Up A Broken Heart

And

Command The Blessing

From The Now Christ-Regenerated Heart!

Brethren, 

We Must Not From Right Paths Ever Depart! 

Be Ye Warned ...

Please Don't Be An Esau

Living Like A Louse

Doing What You Will

Of Earthly Power Being Carnally Jealous! 

Seek After The Things Of God

Trusting Him For You To Do

And

Don't Be Licorish For

The Readily Available For The Asking

But Oh, So, Pricey

Delicious-Smelling

Sure-To-Be-Tasty

Red-Bean Stew

That Will Your Birth-Right Cost You! 

What A Savior ... 

Let The Lord Lead! 

Carnal Lust 
Is 
Satan's Prized Steed! 

Please Do Not This Race Horse Feed

And

You Shall Not The Prayer Of Remorse Need! 

Let The Lord Of Glory Lead!
His Back Is Broad!
His Shoulders Strong!
His Blood Efficacious!
His Wisdom Eternity Long!
His Promise Is Certain!
His Faithfulness Sure!
Victory Over Sin Is The Promise
And
His Way Is Certain
Because
He Has The Cure!
He Is The Door!
