Buying Peace!?! + PRAYER ... For Guidance!

... And I Went To The Village Shop
To Buy A Little Peace!

A Piece Of What!?!

A Piece Of Peace!

Mercy, Lord! Mercy!

You Can't Buy A Little
Far Less A Lot Of Peace
AND

Definitely Not
In The Village Shop!
What's Wrong With You?!

I NEED Peace!

Okay, Then!
You NEED Jesus!

I Already Got Jesus!
I Need PEACE!

Alright, Then!
You Need JESUS!

I Said I Have ...!

...If You Really HAD Jesus
You Would Really HAVE Peace!

Huh?!
I Go To Church Regularly!
I Pay Tithes And Offerings!
I Do Work On Four Committees!
I Run The Dorcas League!
I Teach Bible School!
I Sing In The Church Choir!
I'm In The Singing Band!
I Sponsor Three Orphans!
I Work Hard For Jesus!
I've GOT Me Some Jesus!

What You've Got
Is A Heart For Church Work
BUT
Have You Given Your Heart To Jesus?!

Have You Confessed Your Sin
AND
Repented 
AND
Turned Away From Sinning?!

Do You Say Your Prayers
Really Communing With The Lord?!
Do You Read And Study The Living Word
AND
Are You Walking In Faith With The Lord?

Ahhh... Uh mmm!

Thought So!

Jesus Said:

My Peace I Give Unto You!

You Can't Get It For Yourself!

Money Can't Buy It!
Intellect Can't Assume It!
AND
Man's Vaunted Wisdom Can't Avail Itself Of It!

Peace Is A Gift!

And, Furthermore

Within Peace
Is Forgiveness Of Sin
AND

Joy In Jesus
AND

Rest ... For The Soul!

There Is No Peace For The Wicked
AND

No Matter How Much You Go To Church

And Say
Lord! Lord!
There Is No Peace
No Joy In This Life
Without Forgiveness For Sin!

Peace Comes Of The Love Relationship
With Our Lord!

So, Pray Tell

How Come I'm Now Hearing This
... And From A Pedestrian ... Like You!?!

Nobody Ever Told Me
That Forgiveness Of Sin
Is Tied Up In Peace!
All I Ever Heard ... Hear 
Is Do Good Works!
Be Kind!
Be Helpful!
Share With The Poor ...!

Sweetie, All That Is Going To Get You
Is A Free Berth In The Lake Of Fire!

Are You Mad?!
I've Devoted My Life To The Church ...!

... But You Have Not Given Over

Committed 

Devoted

- Surrendered -

Your Life To The Lord Christ!

Just Doing Church Work

AND

Not Surrendering To God

- In Christ Jesus -

Is Like Going To Work For A Corporation

AND

Faithfully Working

Without Them Knowing That They Hired You!

There Ain't No Paycheck With Your Name On It!

How Straaange ... I Thought God Knew Everything!

Almighty God Does, Indeed

Know Everything

BUT ...

You Still Have To Finalize The Transaction

By Sending Him The Word Of Your Agreement!

You Have To Make The Verbal Commitment!

Word Is Bond!

If What You Are Saying Is True

- And I Don't Doubt You -

Then ... I Guess Not!

I Was Told 
AND
I Sincerely Believed
That Working For The Lord 

IS
Devotion To God
And That If I Work Faithfully For God
I Will Be Saved By Christ The Lord!

I Am Pleased To Work!

Sorry, My Dear!

Pleasure Ain't Peace!

Peace Is A Gift!
Salvation Is A Gift!
Forgiveness Is A Gift!
The Love Of God Is A Gift!
AND

All Are Compliments Of Jesus Christ
AND
Without These

No Matter How Sincerely You Believed

That Work Is Commitment To God

Without Change
You Will Be Sincerely Lost!

You Cannot Work For God

AND

Live And Play With The Devil!

Read Isaiah 26:3!
The Lord Will Keep You In Perfect Peace
If Your Mind Is Stayed
-Anchored -
On Him
AND
You Trust In Him!

And ...

Without Forgiveness Of Sin

You Are At War With God!
Sooo ... No Peace!

That Is So Unfair!
I Didn't Know That I Had To Confess Sin
AND
Repent Of Sin
To Get Forgiveness

AND
Salvation

AND
To Gain ... Peace!

You Know Now, Love!

Yes!

Now I Know!

I've Been So Very, Very, Miserable!

I Was Getting Desperate!

You Would Have To Have Been Desperate
To Go To The Village Shop
To Buy
"A Piece Of Peace!"

Yuh Think!!

PRAYER:

Grant Us Your Grace, Lord!

Give Unto Us

The Treasured Gift Of Your Peace!

Bless Us To Do Your Will

And

From Sin

Grant Us Needed Relief!

We Are Willing Workers, Father!

Please Guide Us Along The Way

And

Help Us To Speak Peace

Whatever It Is

- In Your Name -

That We Do And Say!

Remember The Brethren

Those Near And Those Far

And

Bless Them

According To Your Will

So That They Will Trust
The Word
Of

Our Savior's Interceding

As We Against

The Devil And Sin

Spar!

Forgive Us Our Trespasses

Against The Holy God

And

Bless Us

Lord, Bless

To Have Faith

For
Our Trusty Conveyance

Our Always-Fueled

And

Ever-Operational

Can't-Break-Down

Motor Car!

We Love You, Lord
And
In Jesus' Name, We Humbly Plead!

AMEN.
