TWILIGHT ZONE: Christian Complacency!?!







How Are You Standing, Walking, Talking
And 
Behaving As A Christian!?! 

Have You Forsaken The Committing Of Sin 
And
Are Feeling Quite Self-Satisfied 

Or

Are You In That Twilight Zone 
Where You Are Guilty Of Not Doing 
What Is Good And Right!?! 

Beloved, 

Every One Of Us Who Names The Name Of Jesus Christ 
Must Guard Against Complacency
And 
Feeling All Proud Of Ourselves 
Because 
We Are Not Active Participants Being Lawless 
And 
Transgressing The Laws Of The Holy God! 
Wake Up! 

We Are In More Danger From Committing The Sins Of Omission
- Of Not Doing Right - 
And 
That Is Exactly Where The Adversary Of God
The Adversary Of Our Own Souls 
Wants Us To Get Comfortable 
Both Day And Night! 

Doing Wrong ... And Not Doing Right 
Makes Us All Ready For The Burn-Barrel 
Which Makes Satan Very Happy 
And 
Christ Jesus Very Sad! 

Knowing Right 
And 
Deliberately Doing Wrong 
Is 
The Sin Of Presumption! 

Doing Neither Right Nor Wrong 
Is 
The Sin Of Neglecting The Great Salvation 
For Which There Is No Possible Excuse! 

What Must Be Done Should Be Done! 
Doing Otherwise 
Marks Us As Being Among Those Fools Who Say That 
There Is No Living, Holy, God! 

Be Wise ... Unto Your Own Soul's Sure And Secure Salvation
And
Choose To Be
And
Be Gloriously Blessed!

Satan Does Not Feed: He Steals!
Do Not Permit Him
- Or His Wage Slaves -
To Rob You Of The Good And Heavenly Food 
Provided Free And Abundantly
To Whosoever Will
And
The Blessings Personally Purchased For You
At Infinite Cost
By Our Own Creator, Savior, Lord, God 
And
Soon Returning King! 
Don't Run With The Lost Cause Brigade!

ALMIGHTY GOD SEES AND KNOWS: Curative Therapy




Job 42:1-2 - Daily Bible Inspirations


We Are Wise Who, By Beholding Jesus Christ, See
Our Wretched Condition
Our Wayward Gainsaying Selves
And
Choose To Submit Our Wills To The Way-Maker! 

Remind Yourself:
"Thou, God, Seest Me!"

No One Who Is Ill 
Can Be Helped And Cured From What Ails Him 
Unless 
And 
Until He Acknowledges His Illness
Seeks Out A Physician Known Able To Help
And 
Upon Information And Belief 
Takes The Curative Therapy Prescribed! 

Beloved, 

Jesus Christ Is The Great Physician!
Sin Is Our Known Disease
And 
Christ's Purchased Salvation 
Is 
Our Only Cure! 

Being Sure Of Our Need Of Our Savior-Physician
Being Firm In Our Desire For The Healing That 
Cleanses Us From Every Sin
Let Us In The Faith That Cannot Fail
Deny The Lost Liar
And 
Sinful Self
And 
Reject Presumptuous Posturing
And
Humbly Submit Our Selves To Jesus Christ
Who Has Never Lost A Patient Who 
- In Total Obedience To The Prescription For Healing -
Leans On
Trusts In 
And 
Holds Firmly The Holy Hand Of Help! 

Be Realistic ...

The Medicine May Not Be Too Tasty 
But 
The Cure Rate Is 100% 
For All Who Lean Not On Their Own Understanding 
But Instead 
Choose To Lean On The Great Physician
- The Lord Of Life -
And 
His Word As Found On His Prescription For Life-Giving Medicine
Aka The Living Word Of God! 

Look Up ...

Dare To Be Different! 
Dare To Walk Alone! 
Dare To Eat Of The Living Word
- Working Out Your Own Salvation -
And 
By Right
By The Signing Off On Your Case 
As Your Being Healed By The Great Physician
Enter Into The Glorious King's Living Kingdom 
To Enjoy His Gift Of Everlasting Life! 

P.S.: 

Your Doctor Bill 
Is 
Paid In Advance!

Confess ... And Repent!?!

Confession Is Good For The Sin-Sick Soul!
Repentance Is Good If You Desire
In Sin
Not To Become Hardened, Hard-Hearted, Cold!

But

Confession Cannot Be Coerced ...!

... Why Not!?! Isn't It The Way To Get A Guilty Plea!?!

You May Get A Guilty Plea
But
The Person Confessing Does Not Acknowledge
Believe Or Accept That He Is Guilty!
He Just Wants To Be Left Alone
And
He Does Not Acknowledge That
He Knows That He Is A Sinner 
Or That Jesus Christ Paid ... Unfairly
With His Innocent Blood
To Purchase A Pardon For All Mankind
And More Particularly ... Get This
All Those Individuals
Who Know That They Are Sinners
That They Are Guilty Of Sin
That They Are Sorry For Their Sin
That They Need Forgiveness
That They Need Cleansing
That They Need The Savior
That They Believe The Savior Saves
That They Believe The Savior Can Personally Save Them
That They Believe The Purchased Salvation Is Real
That They Believe The Salvation Is Fixed
And
That It Fixes Them In Their Need
And
Helps Them To Freely Walk Away From Sin ... Forever

And

It Gets Them Homed And Housed!

Vandee!?!

Yes, Ollie!?!

Would You Please, I Beseech You
Explain What You Mean By Homed And Housed 
Because You Are Making It Seem Like That Sinner Is 
Holding A Piece A Prison!?!

Far From It!
By That Stellar Move
He Is Adopted Into The Family Of The True, Living, Holy
Eternal, Giving, Forgiving, Blessing, Just, Jealous, God
And 
Welcomed Into The Home Circle
And
Assigned A Personal Place
In One Of The Many Mansions
In The Father's House!

If What You Say Is Bible Truth ...!

... It Is ... !

... Then We Have A Serious Problem!

I Really Don't See How We Have A Problem:

We Sin!
We Pick Our Pay Check: Death
But
If We Acknowledge That We Are Sinners
We Have A Savior! 

When We Confess Our Known Sins
We Take The Hand Of The Savior
We Repent ... Turn Away From That Sin
The Savior Gives Us The Personal Pardon
The Savior Cleanses Us Of Our Own Sin
We Walk In The Newness Of His Holy Life
We ... Former Strangers ... Are Adopted
We Receive The Deed To The New Residence
And
Nobody In Our Father's House
Creeps Around Us Watching, Waiting
Because 
They Are Expecting Us To Go And Sin Again! 

The Problem Still Remains! 
The Current Voicings In The Public Square, Say That
Telling People, Calling People Sinners
Is Not Kind Nor Gentle! 
It Hurts People's Feelings
And It Makes Them Very Sad! 

I Know! 
A Priest Was Given A Backseat For 
Offending A Family By Calling Their Son
- Who Committed Suicide - 
A Sinner At The Funeral! 

Time's Getting Short! 

Sin's Getting Long In The Tooth! 
Ignoring Sin
Reframing Sin
Repackaging Sin
Relegating
Is Not Going To Change Sin
Is Not Going To Make Sin Good
Is Not Going To Make Sin Cheap
Is Not Going To Make The Consequence Palatable ... Soft
Is Not Going To Reverse The Cost Of Sin To Almighty God
Is Not Going To Put Jesus Christ's Innocent Blood Back In His Veins
Is Not Going To Turn Satan Into A Saint
Is Not Going To Cause Sin The Human Soul Not To Taint
Is Not Going To Make The Lake Of Fire 
A Poster With Red Paint
So Be Bold ... And Be Humble
Confess Your Sin
Admit That You Tumbled
Repent And By God's Grace
Turn Your Life Around
And
In The Day Of Accounts
Paid In Full
Against Your Cleansed Name
Shall Surely Be Surely Found! 

I Believe We Should Tell This Story Around The Town! 

Indeed! 
Jesus Christ Is Coming 
And 
He Will Be Here Before Very Long! 

Think About It:



Image result for 1 peter 4:14 kjv



The Servant Is Not Above His Master! 
Jesus Christ Was Evilly Spoken Of 
And 
We Who Bear The Name
Practice The Ways 
And 
Live The Blessed Christian Life 
Shall Certainly Hear Many Bad Words Uttered Against Us! 

The Christian Life Is Not A Style: 
Styles Change As Man's Tastes 
And 
Temperaments Change! 

The Christian Life 
Is 
A Reason For Living ... For Being
A Cause For Celebration
The Path To Glory
The Way Home To Our Father
Who Lovingly Calls Us To His Bosom ... To His Heart 
Which Will Not Leave Us Alone 
To Suffer For His Name's Sake! 

Be Glad
And 
Lift High The Cross Of Jesus 
Who Is Coming To Take His Faithful Ones 
To The Glorious, Forever, Home! 

Gladly Live For Jesus
And 
Be Forever Blessed!

The Sign Post

At The Crossroads Of Hope And Glory
AND
Independence And Pride
AND
Doubt And Defiance
AND
Not Yet And Maybe Later
IS
The Sign Post
Plain To The Seeing Eye:


What Is The Point?

Is It Worth It?
Can You Pay The Price?
Was It Worth The Cost?



How Strange!

Very True!

Very True, It's Strange
Or
It's Strangely Very True!?!

Pick Your Own Poison!

Poison Kills!

So Does Ignorance
Recklessness
Willfulness
Waywardness
Wantonness
Idleness
Fullness Of Bread
Pride
Life Without The Peace Guide
AND
Letting Satan Take You For A Ride!

Whatever Must One Do?!

In Heavenly Love Abide!

Let The Spirit Of God In Your Heart Reside! 

Let The Holy Angels Influence You
So That Vain Self 
AND
Purchased Salvation
Do Not Collide
AND
Get Out Of The Dying World
So That Known Sin
Cannot Take You For The Condemned Man's Last Ride!

Bottom Line ...

In Jesus Christ
Our Savior
Lord, God
Forever Friend

Emphatically
Unreservedly

Unrepentantly
Faithfully
Contentedly
Confide!

HAPPY SABBATH + The Light Of Life Delights!






The Omniscient God Of Love 
Is
My Hope
My Help!

The Innocent  Lamb Of God 
Is
My Savior
My Beginning
My End!

The Holy Spirit Of God 
Is
My Teacher
My Comforter
My Guide!

The Holy Angels Are My Companions
My Good Influencers
My Protection! 

The Conquering King
Is
My Redeemer
My Friend
My Lord
AND
My God!

The Word Of God 
Is
My Clean Lamp 
Giving Off Bright And WHite Light
Showing Me Where To Plant My Feet
On The Straight And Narrow Way 
To Eternal Life! 

I Have No Need To Fear Circumstance
For The Eternal God
The Lord Of My Life Is In Control
AND
He Not A Liar
Nor A Purveyor 
Of Chance Or Happenstance
BUT
The Lord Of Life
The God Of Order
The God Who Made All
Whose Wisdom Is Holy
Not Flawed!

My Shepherd
Is
The Lord Most High
The Shepherd Of Rest In Whom Is No Lie
The Master Of The Winds
The Waves 
The Sea
The God Of My Salvation
The God-Man Who Left Heaven
AND
Lived In Time
To Save A Wretch
A Sinner
Like Me
Like Thee!

I Am A Child Of The Eternal God
Because I Have 
Chosen 
To Forsake The Ways Of The Fraud
Because 
My Teacher, My Guide
The Spirit Of God
Who In Me Now Does Abide
Called Me Out Of Darkness
AND
Into Holy God's Marvelous Light
Having Convicted Me Of My Sin
Having Convinced Me  
Known Sin 
To Confess
AND
To Repent Of The Pass
AND
To Forsake The Unholy Way
Having Converted Me To Truth
AND
Unto Walking On The Straight And Narrow Way!

He Is The Same Spirit Of God
Who Shows Me The Lord Of Love
Who Loves Me Sacrificially
AND
Encourages Me Daily
Moment By Moment
To Love The Lord Knowledgeably
Knowingly
Self-Sacrificially
Completely
Faith Working Actively
Never Complacently
Ever Truthfully
Never Conveniently
AND
To Live In The Light Of Life
AND
Never To Find Life In Gross Darkness A Delight!

The Holy Angels
Excelling In Strength
Are My Influencers For Good
My Protection
As I Walk Towards
The City Of God
Staying
On The Straight And Narrow Way!

They Can't Force Me To Do Good!
They Can't Stop Me From Doing Wrong
BUT
They Will 
Influence Me Towards
The Good
The Blessed
The Best
BECAUSE
I Have Given To Jesus Christ The Lord
- My Lord -
My Will And My Way
AND THEY- The Workers With A Blessed
Vested
Interested In My Salvation -
Labor Faithfully
To Help Me To Stay Shielded
Hedged In By Truth
Protected From Error
On The King's Highway!

The Glorious Lord
Is
My Light
My Salvation
My Joy
My Song
My Day
My Delight
My Bread
My Water
My Blessing
My Cure
My Hope
My Help
My Way To Heaven
The Door Secure!

The Lord Is My Portion!

The Blessing of The Lord Makes Me Rich
Adds No Sorrow
Makes Me Free
Gives Me Sight
Takes Away Sin's Blight
AND IS
To My Soul
A Constant Delight!

In Jesus Christ
I Am Safe!
I Live Though I Die!
I Sing Though I Cry!
I Rest Even If I Can't Sleep!
I Am Blessed Though I'm By Man Cursed!
I Run The Race For Life Even If I Can't Walk Through Life
I Stand In Truth Even If I Were Bed-Bound
I Live In Light Though Darkness Surrounds!
I Am Safe
In Christ Jesus!

In Jesus Christ
I Am As A Tree
Planted
By The Water!
My Leaves
Shall Not Wither
AND
I Shall Bear Good Fruit
In Season
AND
All That I Do
According To The Will Of The Great I AM
Shall Prosper
Because
He Is Not A Man
AND
He Cannot Lie!
I Have The Spilled Blood Of
The Innocent Guaranteeing It!
My Portion In Eternal Life
Rests ... Rests
Firmly Upon It
AND
I Am Now Loving And Living For Jesus
Because
He Loves Me First
AND
I Desire To Receive And Share
His Eternal Joy
AND
With Him Enjoy It!

Lord,
Keep Me Faithful!
You, Alone, Are Able!
Bless Me To Do Thy Will
And
Not To Fall Away
To Lying Satan's Fables!
In Jesus Christ's Name
Grant Me The Purchased
Over-Sin Victory!
AMEN!

Deep Shallow Breathing Mode
You Can Be Certain That 
Theirs Has Been A Bad Day!

Whose Favorite Ice-Cream Is Called Vice!
Their Favorite Shoes Are Roller Blades!
Their Favorite Coats Are Bomber Jackets!
The Favorite Mammal Is A Mountain Goat!
Their Favorite Reptile Is A Diamond-Back Snake!

They Are As
The Sweet-Skin Bucky
Dr. Jekyll
Mr. Hyde
Typhoid Mary
AND
A Black Widow
All Rolled Into An Imprecise Tube
Filled With Undisclosed
BUT
Suspect

Yield Fully
Drink Deeply
AND

Unite Closely
Are On Your Scent
They Will Not Relent!

They Are Bad News
AND
Another Elite Set Of Bre'k-Down Merchants
AND
Luvvin' It!

They Speak With Forked Tongues
Walk Like Side-Winders
Spit Out Epithets Like Camels Would Sputum
Ride Rough-Shod Over Those Non-believers In Their Ways
Over-Indulge Conceit
Express Of Truth An Awful Disdain
Believe That They Have To-Be-Coveted Fame
AND
Roll
Like They Really Got Game!

Problem Is ...

They Are Hacks
Coffee Boys
Pretenders To The Throne
Yipping Puppies
Convinced 
That They Are Running With The Big Dogs
When They - In Fact -
Are Going To Get Steam-Rolled Burned!

They Have
- On A Silver Salver -
Given To Satan
Their Precious-To-Jesus 
Souls!

Is So Deluded
That They Really Believe
That The World Is Their Oyster
That Their Present Position MAKES Them
Pearls Of Great Price
That They Have Got Life By The Short Hairs
AND
That They Have The Tiger By The Tail!

Wait A Minute, Bosie!
Maisie Ain't Got A Tabby Cat Called Tiger ... Malt?!

Yes, Indeed, She Does
AND
They Have A Grease-Up Boar Pig Named Devil
That They Believe That
They Can Run Into The Ground
AND
Wrestle ... Into Submission ... At Will!

Oh, Dear!
When Will Men Learn?!

You Know?!

I Know ...
When The Same Boar Pig Flies
AND
The Sinner Inside Them Dies!

S. M. H.!

SMH?!
What's That?!

I'm Shaking My Head!

Oh.
I Shall Join You
For
These Arrogantly Foolish Fellows
Who Rabidly Insist
That There Is No God
Have Been Consigned
To Their Own Prescribed Fate
AND
They Now Belong
To The Lost Soul Crew
Which Has Members Myriad
Not Just A Few!

I Never Want To Hear:

Let Them Alone With Their Idols!

From The Lord!

This Is So Sad
That I Want To Cry
To See How Wilful Disobedience
Has Left Them No Options
But To
- At the Appointed Time -
Eternally Die ...!

... Because They Love The Lie
AND
Have Let Go Of Real Substance
To Grab For The Shadow Of A Juicy
- Not Even Meaty -
Dog Bone!

I Don't Know About You
But I Am Going Home!

Me, Too
For
With The Lord Jesus Christ
- The LORD Of Life IN Their Lives -
Faithful Believers
- Lovers Of God's Truth -
Never, Ever, Walk Alone
For

That FOR Their Sins
He, Innocent
Did Atone!

Yield Fully
Drink Deeply
AND

Unite Closely
Chose To Leave
The SHELTERED Sheep Fold
The Safe Zone
AND
Now
They Are On Their Own!

Sad. So, So, Sad.

I Know!

We Can't Do Anything For Them
BUT
We Can Warn Others!

Yes, Let's!

No More Brands For The Fire!

Let's Go Tell The Good News
To Prepare Others
To Achieve With 
True Worship
Faithful Work
Willing Obedience
AND
Grace-Filled Endurance
The Free-To-All Heavenly Attire!

I'm With You!

Let's Go!

My Cup Is Full ... And Running Over!

Two Cups Were On The Table
Choice Was Mine To Make
Life-Lived Would Fill The Chosen Cup
One Would Fill Up To The Brim
Only One  Would Overflow And Lavishly Spill!

The Cup Of Salvation
Includes One's Personal Input Of 
Cast Bread On Water
Living By Faith
Calling On Grace
Falling On The Rock Of Ages
AND
Guidance By Cooperation With Christ
In Obedience To The Living Word!

This Cup
Is The Cup Of Blessing
Is Plain And Clear
Is Often Hard To Bear
BUT
Is To The Faithful Ones
Held Most Dear!

The Cup Of Damnation
Is As Pretty As A Peach
Is Light As A Feather
AND
The One For Which 
Spiritual Prostitutes Reach!

This Cup
Is Blinged Out
It Sings Outs
It Contains All The Self
AND
Sacrilege
AND
Gross Sin
AND
In Cooperation With The Devil
AND
Against Jesus Christ The Lord
It Is With Iniquity
Energetically Filled!

This Cup Of Damnation
Filled With Iniquity
Cannot Overflow!
It Can Only Be Filled Up
AND
None Of Its Possessors
To Highest Heaven
Will Go!

This Cup Is Also The Cup Of Curses
Which Can Only Be Reversed
IF
It Has Not Reached Its Limit
AND
IF
In Recognition Of His Known Need
The Owner Asks The Lord Christ
From The Damned Devil
To Be Forever Freed!

Cup! Cup!
Which Cup Will You Fill?
Damnation?! 
Salvation?!
Will Your Cup Be The Only That Fills
AND
Gushingly Spills?!

Choose Wisely Your Cup, Friend
Remembering
That The Cups "Live" In Your Record
Even If You Die
AND
In The Day Of Vengeance
Cup Don't 
Can't
Won't 
Lie!

All Cup-Bearers Get The Right Reward
Because
Life And Life Record 
Are 
In Perfect Accord!

Just So You Know
The Record-Keeper Is The Rewarder Himself
Jesus Christ The Lord
The One Who Purchased Our Sure Salvation
AND
Giveth Life Everlasting
As The Best Reward!
