VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: During The Between!?!

Yup, Yup! That's It! "During The Between!" I Like It!!! 

Perhaps, Maury, If You Told Us What "During The Between!" Means We Would Like It, Too! 

Oh, Sorry, Corrie, I Was Thinking Out Loud For A Moment But Since You Heard Me, Have You Considered The Events, Happenings, Occasions, The Goings-On That Occur In The Interval From One's Sunrise To One's Sunset To Give It A Suitable Appellation!?! 

Maury, Must You Always Be Such A High-Flyer!?! Couldn't You Just Have Asked Us To Give It A Name; And No, I Did Not! 

What About You, Dingus!?! 

Truth Be Told, I Saw Something That Is Going To Make Me Say Something That Will Challenge And Yet Align Perfectly With Your "During The Between!" ... If You Are Or Become A Christian!

 Father-Managed Natural Regeneration! 

Our Father In Heaven, Jesus Christ The Lord, Is To Manage Our Lives As We Follow Him Faithfully For Love During That Time Between Sunrise And Sunset! 

Hammie, I Like Where This Is Going! 

You Ain't Lying, Louie! 

Now, Brethren, Don't Miss This Point! 

Say On, Maury! 

Brethren, If We Are Faithful, Patient ... Enduring, The Obvious Outcome At The Appointed Hour That None But Our Father Knows, Is, Naturally, Regeneration ... By The Word Of His Mouth ... When He Calls His Saints To Rise Up To Meet Him In The Air On That Glad And Glorious Day That Is His Second Coming! 

Beloved, Doesn't That Dash Between Dates, That "During The Between!" Time Take On A Whole New Meaning Aka Acquire A Whole Different Gravitas!?! 

Couldn't Help Yourself, Could You, Maury!?! 

Nope, Norrie! 

Gravitas Somehow Seemed More Apropos, You Know, Fitting, Pertinent, For Such A Solemn Season! 

Maury, We Understand, And Yes, We Accept That It Is Fitting! 

You Know, We Should Be Thinking To Make Our Dash, Our "During The Between!" Our Moment By The Grace Of Our Heavenly Father, Truly Father-Managed So That, Naturally, We Will Experience The Regeneration, For We Will Have Been Sealed By The Holy Spirit Who Led Us Into All Truth For Our Faithfulness ... To The End! 

Live ... To Live Again! Let The Father Lead You Along! 

Dear Ones, It Is My Sincere Prayer For All Of Us That It Will Be Said Of All Of Us That "During The Between!" We Stood Up For Him Who Laid Down His Life For Us! 

AMEN!!! 

Peace! 

Gospel Goes Forth

He spoke The Word of The Gospel
They put him into Bonds
He Stood up for The Gospel
They, in Anger, Spilt his Blood!

Man May Kill Man
Man Cannot Kill God's Word
For, like Water
It Always Finds Its Level!

The Story Goes Like This:

Gospel Worker = Pitcher of Life-Giving Water:

Gospel Worker walks and waters Flowers in Far-flung Fields
Gospel Worker comes to The Town of Dry Gulch
Population: Parched
Sheriff: Dread
Policy: Maintain The Status Quo
Church: What For?!
Brothels: Busy
Truth: Absent
Needs: Many
Wants: Vomit Inducing
Goals: Glorious Gain
Mayor: Mumbles
Doctor: Dribbles
Desire: Growth
Hearts: Hungry
Eyes: Blind
Ears: Itching
Voice: Boisterous
Song: Sad
Sound: Uncertain
Peace: Poor
Hope: Imprisoned
Health: Hostage

Sheriff Dread is Dreadful!
Towns-persons are Terrorized!
Help is Sought!

Gospel-worker goes Door to Door
People are Interested
But Frightened for Sure!

On The Day Appointed
A Gathering was Held
On The Open Way of Assembly:

Come One! Come All!

Come and Be Fed!

Come To Jesus Christ!

Don't By Sin Be Misled!

All The Parched Gathered and
Gospel Worker Started to Speak!

AND ... 

Here and There
A Moist Dot Appeared!

Sheriff Dread, Always Vigilant
Noticed, and, and, well, Screeched!!

Always Able to Read The Weather, and
A Subscriber to Signs of These Times, and
Never one to Like Prayer
Nor that Corrupting Good Influence
Sheriff Dread Broke Through the Gathering
And on Gospel Worker Pounded Away!

When Dread's Work was Finished
Gospel-worker's Life was on The Ground!

Dread said: "Clean Cover up this Mess!
No need for Truth to get around!
We have rid you of a Sure Pest
Get with The Program
Dread knows Best!"

When The Day's Work was Finished
The Open Way was Nigh to Untouched!
Status Quo had been Maintained, but ...
Something IS Growing Underground!

Time Passed ...

Sirens!
Sirens!
Sirens are Screaming!

Sheriff Dread is 
Out Cold  ... Flat On The Ground
For, on The Open Way of Assembly stood
A Forest of Love Like Flowers, and Trees with True Fruit
Laden Down!

The Parched were Grabbing and Eating!
Fruit Juice was Running Down Hands and Cheeks
And Whoever Injested that True Fruit
Became Moist, Tender, Noble and Sweet!

Dry Gulch Is Now Known as Sheep May Safely Graze
Population: Watered
Intention: God's Word Speak
Sheriff: Truth Provided
Mayor: Saving Souls
Doctor: Helps 'n Heals
People: Happy
Needs: Few & Met
Hope: Secure
Health: Sure
Peace: Pure
Voice: Victorious
Song: Glorious
Sound: Certain
Eyes: Salved
Ears: Unstopped
Wants: Nothing to Bother Young Me nor Old You! 

MORAL OF THE STORY:

The Dreads of This World Seek to Limit The Spread of The Gospel by Death and Destruction!

The More they Kill and Destroy, The More The Gospel of The Love of Jesus Christ is Spread! 

Many will be Martyred for The Word of The Gospel - and those Deaths will Bear Much Fruit for The Kingdom of God - but only as long as Man's Probation is Open! 

If there is no one to be Saved, there will no longer be a Kingdom Benefit to be Derived from Christians dying so they won't be able to kill us any longer!

Death has no Power over a True Christ Believer! We Will Rise Again!

We have No Need to be Afraid of Those Who Will Kill The Body for they CANNOT Kill Our Souls in Hell!

Man Against Almighty God Is A "No Contest!" so

Fear God

and 

Give Glory to Him

for 

The Hour of His Judgment 

is 

At Hand! 

Rev. 14:7 (in part)
