PRESUMPTUOUS SIN: Humble Yourself!

Classic Showdown Between
Burn Baby Burn
And
Worship N. Bow-Down:

One Was Into Self
And
The Other Was Under The Living  God!

One Was Presumptuous And Iniquitous
And
The Other Was Humble And Holy!

One Partied With The Unbelieving
And
The Other Prayed Without Ceasing!

They Are Opposites
And
Each Does Not The Other Attract!

Both Thought:

So Much To Do
And
Sooo Little Time!

Both Prayed For Strength
But
Only One On His Soul's Savior Did Lovingly Recline!

One Knows Himself To Be A Born Sinner
But
The Other Considers Himself To Be Practically Divine:
Both Are On An Incline!

Both Can't Be Right
Because
Only One Is Walking In The Light That Gives Life!
Both Are In The Mortal Strife!

No Surprise! No Shock ...

They Are Both Dying
Because
It Is Appointed Once For Man To Die
Then Comes ... The Judgment!

The Face-Off Between These Two
Is
The Standard Stand-Off Between Good And Evil
Truth And Error
Right And Wrong
Light And Darkness
The Holy And The Profane! 
The Only Difference Is The Venue!

The Personalities Are Saint And Sinner!
The Activating Forces Are
The Known-Deceitful And Destructive Satan
And
The Known-Loving Savior And Creator Lord Jesus!

The Blow Out Is In Progress
And
Burn Baby Burn ... Ever The Loud-Mouth
Is 
Pontificating Like A Practicing Pharisee!
He Had Just Stated For The Eternal Record That:

My Life Is My Own

To Do What I Will Until I Am Filled! 

I Walk In Self-Will! 

I Live At Own-Way! 

I Will Not Have It Any Other Way!

Worship N. Bow-Down
Responded The Only Way He Knew How:

The Eye Is The Window To The Soul 

And Your Tone Of Voice

Speaks To Your Ultimate Goal!

A Soft Answer Turns Away Wrath

And Egregious Words Often Lead To A Blood Bath!

There Is No Greater Transgression
Than Daring To Ask: 

"Hath God Said!?!" 

And Thereby Calling Into Question 
The Truth That Is Almighty God! 

Did You Make Yourself!?!
Can You Feed Yourself!?!
Can You Keep Yourself Alive!?! 

Do You Have The Power 

To Awaken Yourself Every Day Knowing In Advance 

What Each Holds For Every Living Soul!?! 

If You Can Answer "Yes!" To All These Questions
You Are Free To Question The Will
The Ways
The Sovereignty Of The Omnipotent God!

Humble Yourself And Trust The Omniscient God Wholly
And Know Of A Surety That
You Shall Be Eternally Blessed!

Humble Yourself Under The Mighty Hand Of Omnipresent God
And He Shall Lift You Up ... According To His Will
And In His Way
And In His Time! 

I Live Fast!

I Shall Have Fun!

I Shall Die Young!

I Shall Make A Pretty Corpse!

When I Die, Brother-Man, I Am Done!

Getting Ahead Of The Plan Of God
Makes You Your Own God!
Wise Choice Or Foolish
Your Use Of Your Free Will To Indulge Your Sinful Self
Determines What Your End Shall Be!
You, By Your Own Actions
Make You The Sole Determinant Of Your Eternal Destination!

You Are Being Willfully Blind
So I Cannot Bid You "Peace!"
Because You Are Indulging The Gross Sin Of Presumption
Believing That You And The Eternal God
Are On The Same Level
And Daring The God Of All Grace
To Bow Down And Worship At Your Paper Throne!

I Warn You:

The Eternal God And His Holy Word Are Forever

But A Fool And His Money Are Soon Spent! 

There Is No Do-Over After Death! 

We Have One Life To Live To Live 
So Make It Count While You Are Alive

For The Dead Know Nothing:

In The Moment A Man Dies

His Thoughts Perish ...! 

... You Are A Mealy-Mouth Liar! 

The Priests Say That The Lord Has To Save Everyone
That There Is Purgatory So I Can Get My Act Together

And That My Family Can Pay 
And Pray Me Out Of Torment ...! 

... Lord Jesus,

Please Open The Eyes

The Ears, The Hearts

Of

Your Presently Beguiled

Besotted-With-Sin, People! 

Brother, That Is The Lie Of The Devil

Designed By Him ... Through Hatred

For The Expressed Purpose Of

Getting An Army To Stand Against Our Maker
Lord, God, King, Savior And Redeemer! 

You Are Operating Under A Serious Delusion!

Man Does Not Have An Immortal Soul! 

The Breath Of Life From God 

Through Jesus Christ At Creation

Caused Man To Be A Living Soul:

No Breath, No Life! 

When You Die ... You Are Dead, Dead ... Insensate!
You Will Not Be An Immortal Sinner: 

You Die! 

You Rest Peacefully, Undisturbed, In Your Dusty Grave
And When The Lord Calls You Up From Your Dusty Bed

And You Get Up With The Marks Of Sin On Your Person ...! 

... Marks Of Sin!?! 

Yes! Marks Of Sin!
If You Get Up From Your Long Home
Missing Limbs
And Having A Sick Body

Vile And Nasty Thoughts

Hatred, Envy, Greed, Lust

Murderous Intent

And The Same Putrid Mindset You Died With Still Intact

You Are In For A World Of Hurt ...! 

... Aaiieee, But I Don't Like Pain! 

So Get Thee Hence To The Great Physician: He Always Saves! 

Dear God, Save Me! 

AMEN!!!
Hallelujah!
Thank You, Jesus! 

Satan Done Lost Another Victim Today! 

PRAYER: Thank You, Father, For Your Faithfulness To Me!

I See My Need
And I Come Before You, Father
At The Throne Of Grace
Where All Human Needs Are Well Satisfied!
Thank You For The Loving Invitation!

I Am Blessed, Dear Father
And I Know From Experience That This Is True!
Thank You For Your Faithfulness To Me!
Please Help Me To Be Faithful To You!

In The Living Word 
It Says Plainly That Those Who Will Live Godly Lives
Shall Suffer Persecution
And All Around Your People, Lord
Your Word Is Daily Proved, No Contradiction!

Father,
I Have Chosen To Accept Your Offer
Of Christ's Salvation Full And Free
And I Know That The Walk To Glory
Will Involve The Receipt Of Pain By Me!

I Do Not Dread The Way Ahead
Because I Know That The Holy Spirit In Me Abides
For I Have Invited The Lord Christ
Of My Life To Be In Charge
And He Has Promised In The Word
That If I Walk Faithfully, Obediently, With Him
And I Should Die The Death 
Appointed Once To All Mankind
That He Shall Call Me Forth From The Prison-House
Of Death
To Rise Up To Meet Him In The Air
And Thence On To Glory
To Live On The Peaceful Shore!
Let This For Me Be Daily Made Sure!

Father,
I Believe The Promises Given
And I Am Blessed Daily By The Promises Already Kept!
I Am Walking By Faith
And Not By Carnal Eyesight
And I Am Living With Hope
Knowing That With The Vagaries Of The Mortal Life
You Will Help Me With Such To Cope!

I Accept That Trials In My Life
Valiantly Overcome Through Dependence On The Lord
Means, Most Assuredly, Gain, Heavenly Gain:
Please Help Me And The Brethren Faithful
Those In The Family
Those Coming Into The Family
And Those Seeking To Find The Lord Of The Family
To Trust And Obey, Work, Watch, And Patiently Wait
Pray And Praise, Worship And Adore
Share The Good News And For Others Care
And Against The Wiles Of The Cruel Enemy Dare To Stand
And That Without Ungodly Fear!

Oh, Father
With Hope, For Love, By Faith
Because Of Truth
I Reach For The Hand That 
Has My Name Engraved In The Palm!
Help Me, Lord, To Live Up To The Value
That You Have Placed On My Soul:
Help Me, Please Help Me
To Make Home With Jesus My Soul's Sole Goal!

Thank You For The Grace!
Thank You For The Mercy!
Thank You For The Spirit Of Truth!
Thank You For The Guardian Angels
And Best Of All
Thank You For The Life Of  
Your Only Begotten Son, The Lord Jesus
Who Is Ours For Eternity!
We Are Lost And Twice Dead Men Without Him!

Thank You For Hearing My Humble Prayer
And For Always Answering The Prayer Of Faith
Which Is Offered Up In The Name Holy Name Of
Jesus, Blessed Ever!
I Love You, Lord!
We Need You!
Please Come Soon!
AMEN!

CHRISTIAN PERSECUTION: Dear Jesus, Please Draw Me Nearer!?!

Wealth
Genius
And
Education
Formed An Umbrella ... Called Vile Contempt

Over Christian
And
With Genius Being Inspired Evil
Sought To Have Christian
- True Christian -
From Living Life Made Exempt!

Many Were The Attempts Made
To End True Christian's Life
And
As Many As Were Successful
Just As Many Failed
And
Something Unexpected Happened
When A True Christian Died!

His Blood Became Seed
And
Even More Christians Sprung Up
Even Amongst Those Who, Previously
Had Sought Upon Christian Flesh And Blood To Feed!

True Christian Was Not Afraid To Die
Neither Was He Afraid For Living!
He Held His Maker In Godly Fear
And
Sought Valiantly In All Things
Ever To Please Him!

True Christian Was Hated For One Little Bitty Thing :
His Refusal To Bend To Tradition
To World Custom
And
His Rock Solid Stance Not To Turn The Holy God
Into A Fallen Man
Or ... Better Put
Raise To The Status Of The Living God
A Fallen Man
And
A Known-Fallen Angel
Now A Damned Demon!

He Walked Straight On The Path Narrow!
He Looked Up To The Hills!
He Knew From Whence His Help Came
And
He Wanted Nothing To Do With
Or Accepted Anything From
Any Who Did Not Accept Jesus Christ As Redeeming Savior
Reigning Lord
And
Almighty God
And
Lived By The Holy Faith
Not Known To Be Practiced
By The Agents Of Satan, King Fraud!

True Christian Knew That If It Was His Master's Will
He Could Escape Injury
Or Suffer A World Of Hurt
But
He Was Not Perturbed By What He Could Nor Foresee
Because
He Was Living By Daily-Delivered Holy Faith
Compliments Of The God Of All Grace
His Father
His Comforter
And
His Elder Brother

Savior

Redeemer

Best Friend!

True Christian Was Holding Close The Promise
The Promise Of Eternal Life
And
A Prepared Home With His Lord Jesus Christ
And
It Was Driving The Adversaries Batty
Those Who Lived For
And
Loved Using, Utilizing
The Known-Demonic Device!

They Indulged Pride!
True Christian Indulged Prayer!

They Lifted Up Self!
He Lifted Up The Savior!

They Walked Wise In Their Own Eyes!

He Walked Wise In The Sight Of 

The One Who Created His Eyes!

They Lived To Hurt The Helpless!
He Lived To Help The Hurting

And
There Was No Way That They Could Walk Together
Because
There Was Nothing Between Them
About Which They Could Walk In Accord
Or In Substance Agree!

There Was Not Going To Be A Peaceful End
And
Upon That You Can Surely Depend!

True Christian Knew
Knew Without A Doubt That
He Was Not Better Than His Lord
And
He Was Not Foolish Enough To Doubt
The Living Holy Word Of Truth!

Said He, Boldly And Cheerfully, Calmly:

Nothing Can Separate Me

From The Love Of Jesus:

Not Height, Not Depth

Not Principalities 

Not Powers

Not Angels Nor Demons

Not Life, Nor Death! 

Jesus Christ Is My Savior 

And
I Shall Not Be Moved!

And He Cried Out Fiercely:

I Am Thine, Oh, Lord! 

Draw Me Nearer!

Look Within ...

Can The Same Thing Be Said For Me, For You!?!

Are We Walking Wise

Or Are We Wearing The World's Fancy Shoes!?!

Do We Love The Lord

To The Exclusion Of Everything Else

Or Are We Going To Be As The Chaff Of

The Summer Threshing Floor

When The Lord Of Earth And Glory

Comes Through The Way To Eternity's Door!?!

Are You Getting Yourself Ready

- Truly Ready -

For What, For True Christians

Is Surely In Store!?!
