Dare To Be Limpets On Jesus!

 Stacey, What's Going On That This Business Meeting Is So Packed!?!

Cherish, My Dear, Newley Has Been Spreading "New Light" Amongst The Membership And The Church Board Has Ordered Him To Present His Position To The Whole Church ... Or Else! 

Lord, Help Him If He Does Not Have Bible For His Feet! 

Look, There, He's Going To The Lectern! 

|*|*|*|*|

Good Evening, Brethren! Thank You For This Invitation To Speak! I Was Praying For This Opportunity, And The Good Lord Heard My Earnest Prayer! 

Brethren, My So-Called New Light Proceeds From An Old Lamp Ever New Filled With Oil From The Source Eternal! 

Our Lord Jesus Called Himself The Vine, And He Called Us The Branches! He Made It Clear, No Ambiguous Language, That His Father Is The Husbandman! 

If You Have Ever Observed A Botanical Garden, Or Even A Home Garden Lovingly Tended By Your Local Green Thumb, You Know That That Gardener, That Husbandman, Does Not Wax Poetic Only! They Are Observant, Strategic, Prudent, And When Called For Executive, Judicial, And With The Passage Of Time, The Destroyer, With Prejudice Aka No Coming Back, Of Those Plantings That Don't, Can't, Won't Fulfill Their Purpose Of Record! 

Jesus Said That If We Abide In Him And He Abides In Us, We Will Bear Much Fruit, John Chapter 15 Verses 4 And 5! 

There Is No Us Outside Of Jesus! 

Preach, Bro. Newley!!! 

We Are The Apple Of His Eye! If We Remove That Apple, Us, It's Going To Hurt And Leave A Terrible Scar, Quite Disfiguring! 

Our Names Are Written On The Palms Of His Hands! 

You Do Remember Calvary, Don't You!?! 

AMEN!!! 

Well, To Write Names On Flesh Will Undoubtedly Leave Scars After The Inflicted, Excruciating, Unbelievably Mind-Numbing Pain ... Our Jesus Rejected The Intoxicant Which Would Have Made The Writing Bearable ...! 

... No Disrespect, Bro. Newley, But You Make The Lord Sound Like A Glutton For Punishment! 

No Offense Taken, Bonita! 

Our Lord Was, Is, The Savior Of Souls, Forever Claiming Us Who Are His Own! We Are His By Creation And Redemption, And As We Like To Say Of The Memorials Of Our Experiences In This Eventful Life Of Ours, He's Got His Scars And Our Robes And Crowns And Overcomers' Palms And Homes In The Father's House For Us To Prove It! 

Now, Let's Do A Pivot! 

Have You Ever Heard Of Or Seen A Limpet!?! 

Oh, Sure! 

They Cling To The Rocks At The Seaside! 

What If I Were To Tell You That Those Clinging Shells Exercise, I Didn't Say Have, More Sense, More Wisdom, More Understanding That We Verbosely Committed Christians Of The Spout Scripture Out Of Context Chapter And Verse Persuasion! 

And, We're Off And Running, Cherish! 

We Sure Are, Stacey! 

Brethren, Those Often Colorful, Sometimes Bland Looking, Always Wonderfully Made Limpets Know Their Mission, Got Their Methods, Follow The Rules Of Engagement, And Do Not Depart The Battlefield To Engage Folly! 

Brethren, Do Not Despise Small Things, But Instead, Choose To Ask Questions Before You Destroy What You Have Not Investigated Against The "Thus Saith The Lord Our God!" 

I Introduced To My Friends And Relations The Link Between The Lord's Story, His Lesson For Us Of The Vine, The Branches And The Husbandman AND The "Parable" Of Our Marine Limpet AND Calvary's Results, The Marks Of Which Will Only Be Found On The Person Of Our Conquering Hero, Our Redeemer, Our Savior And King! 

I Pray That He Will Not Be A Frowning Judge At Me! 

Our Little Limpet Has A Foot! He Walks And He Goes And Gathers Food, And Like Any Gastropod, He Leaves A Mucus Trail! 

When There Is Stormy Weather Or Turbulence Around Him, He Locks Himself Down On His Foundation! 

I Dare You All To Be Shocked At What I Will Next Say Because I Am Going To Insult Everyone Of Us Right Now: Our Little Limpet Does Not Sleep Away From Home! He Goes Out From Home All The While Leaving His Mucus Trail, And He Returns Home To His Same Place Of Rest ... And Abides! 

He Settles In That Space BECAUSE It Is A Scar Shaped Like Him That Fits No One Else Save Him! 

Can We, Are We Able To Say The Same Thing!?! 

I'll Leave You With This Little Nugget As An Ode To The Limpet Who Is Not A Christian: Only Those Who Follow The Lamb Wherever He Goes Will Enter The Kingdom! 

The Limpet's Home

Is

A Scar On The Rock Which Cannot Be Moved!

 

Jesus Christ Is The Rock Which Fills The Whole Earth: Are You Stuck On Him!?! 

Lord Jesus, I Sincerely Pray That When You Come To My Name For Judgment That You Will Trace The Scar That Marks My Forever Home, My Eternal Place On And In You! Lord, I Am For You! Let Some Good Be Done Today! AMEN! 

|*|*|*|*|

The Church Kept Silence! 

Peace! 

HAPPY SABBATH: An Anchorless Ship Is Loose!

Since The Holy God, The Truth, Has Already Told Us That 

The Heart Of Man Is Desperately Wicked

Then We Should Not Be Suprised That 

Practicing Wickedness Is A Thing! 

With This In View

What We, As Working, Committed, Christians Should Be Doing

Is 

Surprising The World By Not Being A Participant With It 

In Practicing Wickedness Which Is Lawlessness

Which Is Sin

Which Is The Transgressing Of The Laws Of 

The Eternal Holy God! 

Beloved, 

Understand This: 

Doing Wickedness Is No Load For Us 

Because 

It Is Part And Parcel Of Who We Are ... Because Of Sin! 

Choosing Not To Indulge In Sin, In Wickedness

Requires Real, Personal, Effort 

And

The Constant Help Of 

Our Blessed Savior, Redeemer, And Forever Friend 

Who Died The Most Cruel Death To Break Sin's Hold Upon Us! 

Dear Ones, 

An Anchorless Ship Goes With The Tide Every Which Way

And 

Is Loose 

And 

Is Lost! 

A Ship At Anchor Is In Port 

And

Is At Its Designated Berth! 

Jesus Christ The King

Is 

The Anchor For Our Souls! 

Are You With Him!?! 

Is He In You!?! 

Let's Do Our Homework 

So That We May Pass The Master's Class! 

Do Good 

And

Good Will Attend You! 

Peace!

Don't Be A Bully: Never, Ever, Give In To A Bully!

One Of The Most Amazing Creatures In This Life 

Is 

The Bully! 

You've Met One! 

Bullies Are Mean-Spirited, Vindictive, Cruel Cowards 

Who Extend No Kindness 

But 

Always Desire It! 

How Special! 

Beloved, 

We Should Appreciate Our Dear Savior More 

As The One Whole-Hearted 

When We See The Actions 

And 

Experience The Wrath Of 

One Of Satan's "Favorite" Children Aka Useful Idiots! 

No Apology Is Offered For The Harsh Words! 

Look Upon Jesus Christ

And 

Behold The Mild-Mannered Master

Teacher, Savior

Redeemer, Friend 

Who Gently Calls Us To His Side

No Enticement

No Inducement

No Force

No Fear! 

What Is Amazing About Satan's Bullies 

Is 

That They Strive To Do What Satan Can't! 

Satan Can't Force A Fella To Do Anything! 

Satan Is On A Short Leash 

And 

The Bully Is On A Long Rope! 

Like Any Decent Bully 

Who Will Heel With One Smart Wollop On His Snout 

Or In His Bread-Basket

One Sharp "Thus Saith The Lord!" 

Will Put Satan And His Hench-Persons In Their Place! 

Dear One, 

Never, Ever, Give In To A Bully 

To Get Peace Which He Doesn't Have 

And 

Can't Ever Give! 

Call 1-800-Save-Me-Jesus: 

Pray! 

Peace!

Unwavering Faith In He Who Ever Lives!

KJV Job 13:15-16

15 Though he slay me, yet will I trust in him: but I will maintain mine own ways before him.

16 He also shall be my salvation: for an hypocrite shall not come before him.

It Takes Unwavering Faith, Explicit Belief, To Be Able To Say That 

You Are Going To Maintain Your Ways Aka Your Integrity 

And 

Keep Your Trust Firmly Placed In Someone 

Who Has The Power To Kill You! 

It Takes That Same Unfailing Faith And  Unshakable Belief 

To Say That That Someone 

Is 

Your Salvation 

Because 

They Know That You Are Not A Deceitful Wretch Aka A Hypocrite! 

Beloved, 

Oh, That We All Would Be As That Righteous Job Was! 

To Go Through The Fire Of Affliction

Physically, Financially, Emotionally, And Spiritually 

And Still 

Trust Jesus Christ The Lord 

Because 

You Have Embraced The Promise:

 "I Know That My Redeemer Lives!" 

"These Dry Bones Shall Live Again!" 

"Where I Am There Shall Also My Servant Be!" 

"No Good Thing Will He Withhold From Them That Walk Uprightly!" 

Is 

To Know The Peace Which Passes Human Aka Finite Understanding! 

Dear Ones, 

Our Lord Is Not Slack Concerning His Promises

His Stated Blood-Bought Intentions, Towards Us! 

"Yes, Lord!" 

And 

"Thank You, Jesus!" 

"Amen!" 

Should Be On Rewind, Replay, Constant Rotation 

On Our Heart For Christ! 

Yes, The Lord Can Kill You! 

Think! 

The Lord Also Daily Keeps Us Alive 

And

He Also Also Raises The Dead! 

Our Redeemer Lives: 

Live For Jesus! 

Peace Be Upon You!

The Guardian ... Our Guide ... Is Our God Alive!

When Your Greatest Enemy 

Is 

Both Deceiver And Destroyer

You Have Real Problems! 

When Your God 

Is 

Real And Alive

And 

He Is Both Savior And Sanctifier

And 

Is Known To Be The Shepherd Of Rest 

And 

Shield Of Defence

And 

Is The Only And True Redeemer Of Fallen Man 

And 

Can't Lose A Faithful Servant

Your Greatest Enemy Has Effectively Lost His Prey

And 

Now Has Himself An Enemy He Can't Shift

And 

A War That He Can't Win

At A Time That He Can't Determine

At The Cost Which He Must Pay

For A Prize That He Doesn't Want 

And

Which He Cannot Refuse! 

Beloved, 

Remember Why You Are Whose You Are 

And 

Use Your Gift Of Faith

Your Willing Obedience

And 

Your Voice In Song 

To Cheer You On The Way To Hill Zion! 

Please Remind Yourself That Jesus Christ 

Is 

Your Guardian And Your Guide 

To And Through Life 

And

Unwaveringly Trust Him To Take You Safely Home!

Please Do Not Be A Candle Under A Basket 

Nor A Candle In The Wind:

Boldly, Faithfully, Patiently, And Enduringly

Abide In The Lord 

And 

Be Forever Blessed! 

Peace!

LOVE WITHOUT LIES: No Imagination Needed!

Let Us, Beloved, Imagine 

A Love Without Lies

A Life Without Loss

No Homes That Are Hell

No Cruel Boss At Work

No Sound Of Sorrow

No Bitterness

No Woe

No Trips To The Emergency Room

No Lawyers Who Cheat

No Crying From The Pain Of Hunger

No Watching One's Crops Shrivel To Dust

And 

No Watching Safe Houses Collapse 

And 

On The Raging Floods Sail On By! 

Oops! 

There Is No Need To Imagine That 

When We Have The Living Word Of The Eternal God 

Who Is Not Given To Deceitful Acts! 

Our God Is Not The Abominable Fraud! 

We Serve The Risen Savior 

And 

Not A Dead Jesus! 

We Are Called To The Side Of Our Redeemer 

And 

Not To A Sadist Who Desires To Hurt, Mutilate

And Then 

Annihilate Us! 

Dear Ones, 

Please Choose To Walk Wisely 

And 

Beware Of Purchasing Free Passes To Sure Short-Cuts 

Which "Permit" You To Get Home To Glory 

Without Sin Being Given Up! 

We Must Go Through Trials For The Perfecting Of Our Faith 

And 

We Are Not To Trust Those 

Who Encourage Us To Wear "Son-Block" 

And 

Play Pretty With Deadly Night-Shades! 

The Light Of Life Is Blinding 

But 

Salvation By Faith Allows Us Comfortably To See

So Take The Word Of Almighty God To Heart 

And 

Keep It Ever With You

And 

Choose To Live The Life Of Holy Faith

The Life Of The Enduringly Obedient

The Life Of The Living-For-Jesus Godly! 

Soon ... Very Soon

Our Faith Shall Become Sight! 

The Trip To Zion 

Is 

A One-Way Flight! 

Peace!

FAMILY: Jesus Called ... You Answered!

To This Day ... When A Child Is Born

The Question Is Still Asked: 

Who Does This Baby Resemble Aka Look Like!?! 

The Question Seeks To Place This Precious Little Soul 

Within The "Family!" 

Beloved, 

Are You A Christian ... And Still Wondering 

Whether You Belong To The Family Of The Eternal God!?! 

Are You Wondering

If 

The Family Belongs To You!?! 

Are You Being Asked By Others 

If 

You Truly Belong To The Family Of God!?! 

Are You Doubtful Of 

Your Blood-Ties To The Lord Christ!?! 

Are You Walking In Disbelief

Refusing To Believe That Repentant-Sinner-You 

Are Truly Accepted Into 

The Well-Beloved Forever-Family Of God!?! 

Just Stop Already! 

Jesus Christ The Righteous King Called: 

You Answered! 

Jesus Christ Saves: 

You Are Infinitely Blessed! 

You ... With Obedient Endurance 

Are Known, Justified, Accepted

Sanctified, Equipped

And 

Sent 

And

At The Appointed Time 

You Shall Be Raised Up To Eternity ... Glorified! 

Do Not Indulge In If, But, Then, Why Me! 

Wittingly Choose To Accept That Your Savior 

Is 

Your Creator 

And 

Your Redeemer 

Is 

Your Re-Creator Who Promises That We ... Family

Shall Be Like Our Maker, Lord And God

In All Particulars 

If

We Forswear Self, Sin, Sinning And Satan 

And 

Wisely Choose To Trust Our Lord 

And

Willingly Obey Him Always

And

In All Ways! 

Brethren, Beloved

You, Me, We Belong To The King: 

Dare To Live Like You Know It

And

Truly Believe It! 

Peace With Almighty God

Is

Necessary

And

Fabulously Free!

Give Almighty God HIS Praise!

Our Lord Christ 

Is 

The Great Physician! 

Jesus Christ The Righteous 

Is 

Our Only Savior

And

He Is The Holy God

Our Creator

Redeemer

And 

Forever Friend 

Who ... Alone ... Is Worthy Of Our Worship 

And

Constant, Superlative, Praise! 

Beloved, 

We Humans

And 

Even We Who Call Ourselves Committed Christians

Often Make The Real Mistake Of 
Heaping The Glorious Praise That 
Belongs Solely To The Eternal God

Upon Idols Aka Movie Stars

Musicians

Athletes

Politicians

The Giants Of Commerce And Industry,

And 

Even Priests And Pastors

Who All Obviously Have Feet Of Clay

And 

Stony Hearts 

And 

Ultimately Fall Short Of Our Expectations 

Because 

They Are Men, Fallible, Weak

And 

Desperately Need Jesus Christ 

Just As We Do! 

Wisdom Is A Gift Of Almighty God ...

Let's Ask Our God Faithful For His Wisdom
And
Let Us Be Wise 

And ... Going Forward

Heap All Our Heartfelt Praise Of Thankfulness

And

Gratitude

And 

Awe 
And
Worship

Upon Our All-Knowing God Eternal Who ... Alone

Saves, Seals, Heals 

And

Reveals That Which Blesses 

And 

Prospers Us 

As He Lovingly Leads Us Gently ... Safely 

To Our Eternal Home! 

Brethren,

We Have The Blessed Assurance

Daily Faith 

And 

Available Grace 

And

We Have Hope 

For We Have Seen Calvary! 

Take It To Heart ... 

Respect Is Due To A Common Dog 

But

Glorious Praise 

Solely Belongs To The True And Living Holy God

Jesus Christ Our Lord! 

Don't Cast Your Precious Pearls Before Swine

For They Will Turn Upon You

And

Work Your Soul's Destruction! 

Levy Your Praise Upon Him
Who Can Lead You Home To His Glory:

Praise God From Whom All Our Blessings 
Continually Flow Freely

Timely

And

Blessedly! 

Peace!

HAPPY SABBATH + Unrepentant Sinners!?!

Brethren,

Pay Very Close Attention!

A Sinner Is How You're Born!

A Disobedient Sinner Is Your Preferred 

Dare I Say Chosen, Lifestyle! 

Problem Is, Though

A Disobedient Sinner

Willful By Choice

Is

Nothing More Than A Traveller's Five-Pack Of 
Cheap, Easily Replaceable, Disposable Razor Blades!

You're Useful As Long As You're Usable!

Lose Your Edge

Your Willingness To Disrespect
Doubt, Disobey, Denigrate, Disbelieve 

Disparage, Deny, Defy, Dishonor Your Creator

Savior, Redeemer, Judge, King

Lord, God, Healer, Sealer, Teacher
Provider, Sustainer, Protector

And

You Lose Your Pick ... With Prejudice

And

Unfortunately For You

Your Christ-Bought And Paid For 
Very Expensive To The Father, Life

Becomes A Cherished Prize For The Devil

He Who Started The Carnal Strife! 

A Willful, Disobedient, Sinner Is A Fool! 

His Actions Say That He ... Indeed 
Believes That There Is No God

Or Better Put

No God Almighty Who Has Control Over His Life

Or His Ability To Remain Alive 
By His Own Power And Choosing! 

An Unrepentant Sinner Is An Even Bigger Fool

Because

He Believes The Lies Of The Devil! 

He Purchased The Bulk Pack At The Five And Dime

At The .99 $cents Store

And

He Is Doing His Utmost

To Open And Explore The Enveloped Door! 

To Him ... Sinning Is Not A Chore! 

To Him ... Every Hit Is A Major Score! 

We, Faithful, Obedient, Believers Have The Savior! 

His Name Is Christ Jesus! 

Those Ignoring Him Do Not Make His Less! 

We Have The Adversary! 

His Name Is The Devil, The Dragon, The Serpent, Satan! 

Those Acknowledging Him Do Not Make Him More! 

We Have The Certain Hope! 

It Is Called Free Salvation! 

It Is The Gift Of One Short Lifetime! 

Ignoring, Rejecting, And Refusing It Makes You Less

But

Acknowledging, Accepting, Appreciating ... Utilizing 

And 
Realizing Its Potential

Makes You More And Better Every Day:

Salvation Is The Work Of One's Short Lifetime! 

Humble Yourselves!

Pray Always!

Turn Away From Your Sin
And

The Lord Will Hear From Heaven

And

Being Faithful And Just

He Will Forgive You Of Your Known Sin

And

Will Heal The Land That Is Your Troubled Life! 

But How Can I Be Land When I'm A Human!?! 

Good Question! 

Please Refresh Our Memories While You Answer This Question:

What Did Jesus Christ Use 
To Create Adam On The Sixth Day Of Creation Week!?! 

Oh, That's Easy! 

Jesus Used The Dust Of The Earth! 

And What Do We Popularly Call The Dust Of The Earth!?! 

Dirt! 

And Where, Pray Tell, Is Dirt Found!?! 

On The Ground, On The Land ...! 

... Please Don't Stop Now! 

What, Then, Is Your Life!?! 

My Land! It's My Land

And I Have To Work It Properly

If I Desire To Have A Bountiful Harvest Of Good Fruit

If I Desire To Go To The Father's House With Jesus! 

So, Do You Desire To Go Home To Be With Our Jesus!?! 

You Know That I Want To! 

I'm Just Weak, Is All! 

That's Good! 

Whaaat?!?! 

If You're Weak 
And Humbly Acknowledge It Before The Lord

And Sincerely Ask For Help

Jesus Christ Will Give You Of His Strength

Because 

You Choose To Be One Of His

And

He Takes Good, Loving, Faithful Care

Of All Who Are His Own Children ... By Sacrifice!

What Do You Mean By Sacrifice!?! 

I Mean That You Give Up Your Willfulness! 

Give Up Your Waywardness! 

Give Up Lying, Cheating, Stealing
Fornicating, Adultery, Drugs, Alcohol

All Of Whatever Wrong Habit
Behaviors, Tendencies, Indulgences

That You Cultivate, Practice, Publish And Purvey 

And

Take On Christ's Life Of Obedience To The Will Of The Father! 
Give Up Walking As One Own-Way!

Jesus Christ Says:

If You Love Me, Keep My Commandments! 

He Also Says Do Good And Be Blessed! 

He Also Says Trust Him ... And Obey! 

You Must Walk In The Light That Is Life

And

To Do That

It Means You Must Come Out Of The Shadows

Out Of The Darkness! 

All Of The Lord's People Are Children Of The Light!

Indeed!
They Choose Not To Walk In The Darkness

And

All Of The Things They Do

Are Open And On Display 
Before Almighty God, His Holy Angels And Men! 

We Do Not Fear Reproof Because Our Deeds Are Not Evil! 

Beloved, 

Here's A Thought For Us, All, To Chew Upon:

There Is No Sin In Being Tempted: 
The Sin Comes From Yielding ... Giving In ... To Temptation! 

Our Own Jesus Christ Was Tempted With The Same Temptations 
That All Mankind Must Face And Overcome: 

The Lust Of The Flesh 

The Lust Of The Eye 

And 

Lord Help Us All
That Bug-Bear The Pride Of Life! 

Jesus Christ Overcame Them All With 
"It Is Written...!" 

Knowing And Obediently Using 
The Word Of God ... Our Sharp Sword

Will Lead To Our Acquiring The Crown Of Life 
Which Jesus Purchased For Us At Infinite Expense! 

The Lord Provides Our Way Of Escape
From Our Every Temptation So Remember Three Words:

• Jesus Christ Saves! 
• I'm Not Alone! 
• Resist The Devil! 
• Endure All Things! 
• Acquire The Crown! 

Jesus Christ
Is
The Word Of God: Learn Of And Trust The Word

And 

Thrust Your Sword Into Satan Joyfully! 

Untold Blessings Await Us!

Here's To Wonderful Peace!

 

Don't Tremble

There's No Reason To Tremble In Ungodly Fear 
When Those Who Know Not The Lord Of Life
 And
His Mighty, Saving, Power 
Lift Up Wicked Hands 
And 
The Thundering Voice Of Condemnation Against You 
Because 
You Choose To Honor The True And Living Holy God
By Willing Obedience
And
Faithful, Loving, Reasonable, Service! 

There's No Reason To Tremble 
When You Are Physically, Mentally
Spiritually And Emotionally Powerless 
And 
Weak 
Because 
You Are The Well-Beloved Child Of The Great King 
Living On Holy Love 
Exercised By Him
And 
Realized ... By You, Me, Us! 

Dear Child Of Holy Faith,

The Love Of Almighty God

Will Not Let You Go!

Choose To Boldly Exercise Holy Faith 
Gifted To You Daily For The Day
And 
In The Hope, The Assurance, Of Holy Help
Granted At The Throne Of Grace
By Your Bold Appearance And Petition
Decide Not To Wallow In Self-Pity! 

The Father

- Our Father -

Has Pitying Love For You!

Our God Is Real And Accessible
And
Kind And Faithful And True
And 
He Keeps His Promises! 
Look At Him And Not Your Need: Trust His Heart!
You Are Walking In The Light Of Life
And
He, It Is, Who Will See You Through The Carnal Strife! 

Our God ... The Creator God
The Sustainer God
The Provider God
The Redeemer God
The Blessing God ... Of Grace Sufficient
And
Mercy Free
Doesn't Sleep
Doesn't Own Pyjamas
Doesn't Have Step-Children
Grand-Children
God-Children
Or Bastard Children
Doesn't Go On Vacation
Doesn't Wear Ear-Plugs
And
Does Not Wear Dark-Glasses!
Call Him Today!
Your Faithfulness And Obedience
Bears Aloft To Him Your Humble Prayers!

The Eyes Of The Lord

Are Upon The Righteous!

The Ears Of The Lord

Are Open To Your Cry!

Remember,
It Is For You, Personally ... Sacrificially
That He Lovingly Cares!

Be Strong In The Lord!

Jesus Christ Saves!
