VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: You've Heard It Before!

KJV John 14:15
15 If ye love me, keep my commandments.

There Was A Time When A Lil'  Person Could Go To A Big Shot 
And Say To That Person That 
Trust-Worthy Mr. So And So Sent Me To You For XYZ Job 
And Just Like That
Lil' Person Done Got Him Or Herself Hired! 

All Of This Was In The Day When A Verbal Recommendation 
Aka Authorized Name-Drop 
Meant That You Fulfilled The Requirements 
And 
Could Do The Designated Job! 

That Trust-Worthy One Was Putting Their Name On The Line 
Vouching For Your Character And Ability 
Whilst Telling The Big Shot That 
Their Word Was Bond 
And That 
Lil' Man Would Not Make Any Of Their Faces Ashamed! 

Beloved, 

Let's Take This Analogy To The Very Courts Of Heaven 
And 
See If We ... Committed Christians 
Do Not Need To Wheel And Come Again 
Because 
We Are A Bunch Of Bogus Believers! 

Hear Me Out! 

Think Cause And Effect! 

Do You Believe It Is Right And Fitting That 
We Should Eagerly Go To The Father 
In The Name Of The Son 
Letting Our Earnest Requests Be Made Known 
When We Are Nothing But Limping Liars 
When We Tell The Father That 
Jesus, His Only Begotten Son, Sent Us To Him 
Because 
We Fulfilled All Of The Requirements Aka Conditions 
When We Know For Certain Sure That 
John Chapter 14 Verse 15 Accuses Us!?! 

The Lord Jesus Said That If We Love Him
We Will Keep His Commandments! 

If We Are Honestly Keeping Christ's Commandments
Then Fittingly
We Will Not Be Insulting The Father
Calling Christ A Liar
And 
Denigrating Our Own Selves 
With Our Calculated And 
Stretched-Out Truth 
Known To Turn Corners! 

People, 

Unskilled Labor Can't Do Skilled-Man Work 
Or Get His Pay! 

Dear Ones, 

If We Expect To Reap All The Sweets 
Which Come Of Our Faithfulness 
And 
Cooperation With Christ 
By The Holy Spirit Of Truth Who Fits Us For Glory
We Must Class Up Our Act 
And
Refine Our Actions 
As We Free-Will Choose To Be 
Who We Say That We Are In Christ 
In The Presence Of Our Father In Heaven! 

Please Understand That 
Only So Many Insults Will Be Tolerated 
Before Hostilities Break Out! 

Act Froward Aka Non-Compliant, Unyielding, To Almighty God 
And 
He Will Act Froward Toward You And Me, Too! 

The Father Can Refuse To Accept Our Prayers! 

Heaven Turning To Brass Against Us Is A Thing In This Circumstance 
So Let Us With Contrite Hearts ... Prayerfully ... Take Heed! 

Peace!

HAPPY SABBATH + Good Is Good As Long As It Stays Good!
















It's Absolutely Mind-Bogglingly Amazing! 

You, Me, We Have A Reputation For Let's Say
Being Punctual To Work
On Time To Complete Assignments
And 
Ever On Task Aka No Tomfoolery Indulged! 

With This Solidly Intact Reputation
You, Me, We Decide That We Are Going To Do Some "Things" 
And 
Get Away With Them 
Because
Well, The Reputation Speaks For Itself 
And 
Wrong-Doing Ain't Your Way
Until You Get Caught And Fuzzed Out Like A Cheap Carpet! 

Now Picture, If You Will
The Committed To Christ, Psalm-Singing, Tithe-Returning
Righteous Person 
Whose Once Stellar Reputation Gives Way To A Stink-Ball Of 
Almighty God Knows Me 
Because 
I'm His Person No Matter What I Do Self-Righteousness 
Which, Most Definitely, Is Not The Righteousness Of Our Lord Christ! 

Beloved, 

The Lord Does Not Stutter
Does Not Take Bribes
And 
Does Not Play Favorites! 

Good Is Good As Long As It Stays Good! 

Good Turned Bad 
And 
Relying On Yesterday's Good To Earn Tomorrow's Paycheck 
Is Not Going To Fly You To Glory! 

Remember The Old Adage ...



"Good, Better, Best
Never Let It Rest
Till The Good Is Better
And The Better Best!" 


Please Stay On The Path That Is Lit By The Living, Holy, Word Of Truth 
And 
Do Not Permit The Adversary Of Souls To Convince You That 
Receiving His Fool's Gold "Participation Trophy" 
Is 
As Good As Receiving The Crown Of Life From The Lord Of Life
The King Of Earth And Glory! 

Stay On The Son's Side Of Life 
And 
Be Enduringly Good To The End ... By Grace Through Unfailing Faith! 

Peace!

DARKNESS BEFORE DAWN: The Strait Way Struggle!

 

Onward And Upward 
Is 
On The Strait And Narrow Way 
And
We Will Never Reach The Heavenly Home Safely 
If 
We Allow Our Attention From This Path To Stray! 

Beloved, 

There Will Always Be The Way Faster
The Way More Fun
The Way Less Strenuous
And
The Way Where Doing Without Is Just A Song! 

Think! 

If Anyone "Helps" A Butterfly Out Of His Cocoon
He Will Never Fly 
And
He Will Soon Die! 

If A Humming Bird Forgets Who He Is 
And 
Why He Does What He Does
He Will Become The Feast On The Table Of 
The One Who Will Handle Him 
According To What He Shows Himself To Be 
And 
Not By The Reputation For Which He Is Known! 

Dear Ones, 

A Ground-Dove Will Never Rise 
To The Heights Achieved By An Eagle! 

Please Choose To Live In Your Place 
Near To The Heart Of God 
Through The Lord Christ Jesus 

And 

Though Belittled
Denied, Disregarded
And 
Disrespected
Dare To Firmly Hold The Line That 
Leads To Surpassing Glory! 

There Is Always Darkness Before Dawn! 

Jesus Christ Saves: 
Be Strong In The Lord
And
In The Power Of His Might! 

Peace!
