When Self Matters!

 


Here Are Three Times That 
The Word "Self" Should Freely Utter From Our Mouths: 
Selfless
Self-Surrendered
And 
Self-Controlled! 

Beloved, 

If You Have Surrendered Your Self To Your Savior
Then There Is Less Self 
And 
Definitely More Of The Savior
And 
Self-Control Becomes The "Savings-Card" 
Notably In Constant Use! 

Self-Consumed Dies
Self-Sufficiency Atrophies
Self-Serving Skips Town
And 
Self-Aggrandizement Runs Away From Home 
Because 
Nobody Loves It! 

As Committed-To-Christ Christians
We Must Live With That Hope Which Says: 
"My Change Is Going To Come!" 

This Is Possible 
Because 
The Lord Christ Has Purchased Us 
New Character And New Clothing 
Aka Internal Character And External Clothing 
Aka Christ-Like Character 
And 
The Robe Of Christ's Righteousness! 

This Is Big Doings 
And 
It Can Only Be Accomplished By 
Our Cooperating With Christ 
Through The Working Of The Holy Spirit 
Who Assuredly Leads Us Into All Truth! 

Dear Ones, 

This Is Not A Work For The Faint-Hearted
The Fickle
Or The Fool Who Says In His Heart That 
There Is No God! 

Let Us Not Settle For "Easy Living" 
And 
Leave The Family Of God! 

Anything Worth Having
Is Worth Laboring For!


Know This ...

The Stench Of Self 
Will Never Waft Through The Portals Of Glory 
But
The Heart For Christ Will Find Eternal Rest There! 

Understand This ...

It's Time To Turn Brown Things White Through Christ 
Since There's No Self-Cleaning For Christians! 

Get At It ...

Indulge In Self-Examination Through The Holy Word 
Aka The Lens Of The Lord! 

Peace!

Wearing The King's Supplied-For-Us Garments!









No Love, No Faith, No Works, No Robe!

What Are We Rejoicing Over 
And
Being Joyful About 
If
We Are Not Attired In The Garments 
Which The Lord Christ Has Supplied For Us To Wear 
And
As A Mark Of Our Cooperation With
And 
Obedience And Belonging To Him!?! 

Beloved, 

In These Last Days
There Will Be Those Among Us Who Will Bear The Lord's Name 
But
Will Provide Their Own Food Aka Truth 
And 
Their Own Clothing Aka Doctrines, Behaviors, Beliefs! 

They Desire To Bear That Holy Name 
To Hide Their Obvious Shame! 

Let Us Not Join With The Proud Evil-Doers Because 
It Will Not End Well With Them 
Or Any Who Join With Them In Their Rebellion! 

Pride, Rebellion, And Disobedience 
Are All Character Traits Of 
Satan And All Who Now Walk As He Did! 

The First Garment Of Salvation, Justification
Is 
Ours When We Accept Jesus! 

To Achieve The Second, Sanctification
Is 
The Work Of A Lifetime! 

Glorification Aka Immortality, Incorruptibility
The Clean, White, Linen Robe Of Christ's Righteousness 
Is 
The Reward Of Those Who Pass The Test Aka Overcome Sin! 

They Are Found Faithful ...  Redeemable
Prior To The Glad Day When The Lord Comes 
Bringing His Rewards With Him 
To Claim His People, His Saints! 

What Are You Saying, Doing, Wearing, Baring!?! 

Are You True To The Committed Class 
In The School Of Christ!?! 

Are You A Skin-Out Name-Only Christian 
Or
A Spirit-Filled, Obedient
Working, Watching, Waiting, Christian!?! 

The Lord Knows! 
Do You!?! 
Do I!?! 

Let's Seriously Think About It 
And 
Choose To Live In Righteousness ... Now! 

Peace!

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2017: Christ In You + PRAYER : Lead On, Oh King Eternal!







2017 Is The Year New!
2016 Is The Year Old!
Yesteryear's Bad Habits Are 
Dross
AND
This Year's Good Habits Are 
Pure Gold!

The God Of Heaven 
Provides For His People!
The gods Of The Earth Cannot!
The Faith Of Jesus Christ 
Gives Us Victory Over Sin!
Faith In The Pope
Priests, Pastors
Politicians 
AND
Princes
Presidents 
AND 
Purveyors Of The Botch
Assuredly 
Will Not!
Cannot!

Trust In The Lord Is Not Dead
BUT
Neglecting To Pray
Is A Sure Way To Kill It!
Leaning On The Everlasting Arms
Is Key To Human Survival
AND
Christ In You
The Hope Of Glory
Should Be Paramount
Coloring Our World View
AND
Being
Our Most Prized Lot!

God Does Not Change
BUT
Man Must
To Gain Eternity
Is The Gospel Truth!
Jesus Saves!
He Purchased New Life Passports For Mankind
So
Trust The Word, I Beseech You
Be Ye Rich, Poor
Free, Slave
Youth Or Aged!
Proof Is On The Gospel Page!

We Sin
AND
Christ Cries
For
We Crucify Him Afresh!
So Let's Go To The Cross
Uttering Heartfelt Prayers Of Repentance
Filled With True Remorse
AND
Plead
With Our Heavenly Father
To Direct Our Footsteps
Helping Us To Chart
A "To Victory!" Course!

2017 Is The Year New!
2016 Is The Year Old!
AND
We Are One Year
One Month
One Week
One Day
One Hour
One Minute
One Second
One Moment
From
Old Things Forever Passing Away
AND
A New Heaven
AND
A New Earth
Holding Eternal Sway
AND
For This, Dear Ones
Let Us Pray ...



Lead On, Oh King, Eternal
You Who For Us
The Victory Won
You Who Shed Blood
Sin
Hell
Death And The Grave To Conquer
You Who Is God's Only Begotten Son!

You Gave Up Glory
For A Cold Dark Grave!
You Gave Up Glorious Robes
For Wretched Rags Of The Slave!
You Gave Up Songs Of Praise
For Sounds Of The Crazed
Just To Save All Who
Will Willingly Utter
Father,
Please Save Us!
Help Us To Walk In Your Blessed Ways!

Father, We Believe!
Please Cleanse Us Of Unbelief!
Father,
Your Great Gift We Gladly Receive!
Protect Us From The Salvation Thief!
Help Us To Live In Godly Fear
And
Turning To The  Man Of Sin
A Dutiful-To-Christ Stone-Deaf Ear!

Help Us To Walk In Your Light
So That At The Appointed Hour
Our Measure Of Faith
Shall Behold
The Most Glorious Sight!

Help Us To Live True
For, Father
We Dearly Desire
In Our Own Flesh
With Undimmed Eyesight
To Behold You!

Help Us, Lord
To Shed Our Self-Made
Self-righteous
Dirty Garments
So That We Will Gain
The White Linen Robes 
Of
Christ's Righteousness!

Please Provide To Use Eye-Salve
To Heal Our Blinded-By-Sin Eyes
And
By Your Grace, Lord
And
Never-Failing Mercy
Help Us To Purchase Of You
That Inestimable Treasure
Eternal Gold
Tried
In The Fire Of Affliction
Blessed To Us Of Jesus' Faith
Because, Lord
We Truly Love You!

Through Grace
Faith
Love
Hope
Trust
Obedience
And
Wisdom's Understanding
With Knowledge Of The Holy,  Lord
Your Children With This World May Cope!
Help Us To Lift Up The Fallen
Feed The Hungry
Provide Holy Insight Into Truth
For Those Who Are Not
The Willful Blind!
Help Us To Clothe The Naked Both Physically
And
In Sheets Made Of The Truth Of The Gospel
As We Ourselves Walk
With Feet Shod In The Gospel
That Speaks Everlasting Peace
And
Eternal Life!

Father,
Help Us To Guard Jealousy
Our Hold On Salvation!
Grant Us A Death-Grip
On Our Life In Jesus Christ
And
Let Our Eyes Blaze With Hope
With Faith's Sight
In Anticipation
Of
Christ's Soon Coming Glory!

Lord, Help To Stand
So That
Our Faith Today
Shall Glory In The Morrow
When We Shall See Jesus
In Whose Holy Matchless Name
We Make Our Petitions In This New Year
On This New Day!
Remember Us, Lord
Is Our Daily Prayer
And
We Love You True
Is What We In Faith Say!
Help To Do As You Say
And
Not What Eye Servants Do
For We Are You Servants
And
Desire Our Works To Bless You!
AMEN!
