Really Living Dead!






I Stand Before You 
As
A Dead Person!
Not Any Old Pedestrian Dead
BUT 
A Person - According To The Bible
Who Is 
By Choice
Dead 
To The Call Of This World
Where All Sinful Lusts Are 
With Pious Devotion
Fed!

I've Tasted Of 
The World's Sweet Meats
Which Gregariously Pulled Me
Away From God 
AND WHICH
Without Fail
Left In My Mouth
A Bitter After-Taste
AND
A Sour Stomach 
On Riotous Repeat!

From The Reading Of The Holy Scriptures
I Know That
- If Left Unrepented
AND
Unconfessed -
All Known Sin
Is Going To Rear Up
In Accusation
Against Me When 
The Great Judge Of The Earth 
We Meet!

Only Problem, Though
When We Finally Face 
The Judgement Bar 
Of 
Jesus Christ The Righteous
It Will Be Too Late
To Confess Our Sins
OR 
"Try" To Make A Passing Excuse
AND
For This Very Reason
I Choose NOW
To Be Dead To The World
NOW
AND
To Be Alive In Jesus Christ
So That In That Great Day
I Will Not Be Among The Rejected
Who
- In Fact -
Are Accounted To The Kingdom
As Total Cast Outs!
The Ejected!

I Implore You, Therefore, Brethren ...

Let Us Live 
In The World
BUT
Not Be 
A Part Of It!

Let Us Be The Salt That Flavors
That Points The Taste-buds Of Others
 To Jesus Christ!

Let Us, Therefore
Lift Up The Savior
So That His Mercy And Grace
Will Enlarge Us
As We - By Right Living -
Set Stones In The Path Called 
The Holy Way
AND
Then Lift Us Up To Glory On
That Great And Glorious Day!


Are YOU 
Really 
Truly 
As A Born-Again 
United-With-Christ Christian
Living ... DEAD
To This World?!

HAPPY SABBATH + The Nature Of Evil







The Nature Of Evil
Gratifies Ego
AND
Glorifies Self
For The Sole Purpose Of Getting 
The Evil One's Name
Into
The Glaringly Glorious Spotlight
AND
Off Of 
The Insignificant Ones' Shelf!

Satan's Overmastering Self-Love
In Its Full And Final Bloom
Ripped Heaven Apart
Because Of Satan's Willingness To Prove
That He
- After Acting The Part
Of Agent Provocateur
Union Representative
Free-Range Parent -
Could Be A Better Self-Appointed God 
Than The Self-Incarnate Almighty Holy God!

Do We Need To Ask
How That Power-Play Worked Out For
The Wanna-be God?!

Evil Holds No Outward Love
For Its Love
Is 
To Self
Totally Unabashedly Inclined
AND
If Telling The Outliers
That Within Its Gross Actions Is 
Brotherly Even Unto Godly Love
It Will Do It For The Purpose Of Gaining Cooperation
Without The Use Of
The Iron Fist In Kid Gloves!


Forked Tongue Does Bitter-Speech Sweet!

What Love Is To The Human Heart
Hate Is To The Satanically-Inspired Heart!
Where Peace Will Calm
The Raging Storm
Satan And His Henchmen
Will Stir The Wind
To Cause A Storm
That Will Intentionally Inflict Harm
AND
Thereafter
Blame The Holy God!

It Ever Works Like The Proverbial Charm!

Evil Is Always Activated By Envy
Greed
Lust
AND
Hate
Even Though The Beholder
Has More Than Plenty
On Its Plate!

Look At The Heart
In The Body Specially Prepared
By The Creator God
Who
Discontented
With All It Had Blessedly Received
Wanted For Itself
All That The Creator Kept To Himself
Inside His "Sleeve!"

The 10th Commandment
Speaks Of Covetousness For A Reason
For
Lust Of The Flesh
Birthed Within The Lustful Eye
Is Always Going To Cause
"The Fur To Fly!"
AND
The Accursed Pride
That Bane Of The Human Soul
Is Always Ever Ready
To Make
The Pride Of Life
The Unregenerate Heart's
Life Guide
AND
Sole Goal!

The Covetous Heart Will Kill!

Evil Is Guided By
Me
For Me
To Me
In Me
By Me
See Me
How Do You Like Me ... NOW?!
You Should Have Loved Me ... THEN!
I AM The Cause Of Your Felt Mayhem!
Life Is A Bastard Now!
Ahem! AHEM!

Evil Is Full
Of Bloatware
AND
Gloat-ware
AND
Every Any Thing
Which Will Of Said Evil
Inspire
Dread Fear
Compliments Of The Big Goat Fair!

Evil Is A Cancer
For Which There Is Only One Known Cure:

The Acceptance
Of The Love By Holy Sacrifice
Of The Living
Once Dead
AND
Alive For Evermore
Jesus The Christ
The Way To Eternal Life!
AND
Those Who Believe
That Economic
AND
Political
AND
Ecumenical Religious Means
Will Eradicate Evil's Deep-seated Curse
May As Well Pick A Polished Brass Number
AND
Wait ... For The Inevitable Luxury Automobile Called Hearse!


Say It With Me:

Jesus Christ In
Evil Out!
Holy Spirit Moves In
And
Satan Suffers A Terminal Rout!

Prayer Is Power!
Constant Praying Is Powerful!
Denying Self And Lifting Up Christ
Arms Us With Spiritual Weapons
With Which We Can Satanic Agencies Fight!






Immerse Your Mind In Jesus Christ
Who Is Himself Truth
And Valiantly Carry
The Word Of God
And
Shield Your Soul
With Your Measure Of Jesus' Faith
To Repel The Fiery Darts
With WhichThe Wicked Do You Shell
Hoping To Make You Fall
And 
At The Fullness Of Time
Join Them
In The Appointed Hell!

Live Right By Doing Righteous Deeds
And 
Decidedly Protect Your Head
So That Fired Rocks
Won't You Kill Dead (Like Goliath)!
Don't Set Aside Your Helmet!
It Is Your Soul's Salvation!
Let Your Well-shod Feet
Carry You Around 
To Teach The Gospel Of Jesus' Peace
Letting The World Know
What God
- Through Jesus Christ -
Has Done For You
And Will ... For Them, Too!

*********

Never Give In To Evil!
Never Give Up Your Faith In God!
Death In Christ 
Before
Dishonor By Disbelief
And
Trumpet 
God's Eternal Damnation
Upon
The Vile Corrupter-In-Chief!






In The Name Of The Holy Jesus ...

HAPPY SABBATH: The Lived In Face








In The Old Days
Before It Was The Thing
To Spackle And Fill
Dermabrade
And Do Botox
It Used To Be Said Of A Person
With A Weathered Face
That
His Her Life Is Written In Their Face!

I Was Always Enthralled With This Idea 
And Really Loved The Road Maps Produced!

I Was Am Enamored With The Lived-In Face!

The Face Marked
Marred
With The Evidence Of A Life Lived
With Its Trials
Tribulations
Hopes Achieved
Hell Endured
Victories Won
Failures Overcome
Pleasures Enjoyed
Pains That Annoyed
Satisfaction In Arriving At Salvation
Sorrow For Sin That From Jesus Drew You Away
Pride When Children Excelled And Kept Shame At Bay
Love In The Home
Joy In The Lord
Worry That Made One Humble Self Before God In Prayer
Triumph That Made One Sing Praises To God
Confidence In The Living Word Spoken From The Sacred Desk
Knowledge That Peace And Rest Are Found In Him Who Loves Us Well And Best
Assurance That He Who Paid Our Price Will Carry Us Home Across The Divide
Peace In Knowing That Our Holy God Is Real And Alive
AND
That We Can Ever Always
What's In Our Hearts
To Him Confide!

There Is Faith In Him
For
The Living And The Loving
The Crying And The Dying
AND
There Is The Assurance Of The Knowledge
That The Record Of Life
Shows That We Have Confidence 
In The Finished Work Of Christ On The Cross!

There Is No Fearing
That Hope For Heaven Is Loss
For The Living Lord
Is
The First
The Final Boss
AND
We Are Satisfied
With How God Made Us
Knowing That If We Sow To Eternity
Our Promised
Purchased
New Life Will Be
Youthful
IMMORTAL
ETERNAL
Unmarred
Unmarked
PERFECTION!

Alas ...

The Face Of Today
Without Rhyme Or Reason
Is Plain
Plastic
Ever New
Always Tight
Severely Unmarred
BUT
Still Marked:


  • Knows Not The Living God!
  • Never Lived In For Real!
  • Never Had A Root Crop Just Shale!
  • Never Been Tilled Nor Irrigated!
  • Never Been Manured!
  • Never Had A Waiting For Any Reason!
  • Never Known A True Growing Season!


How Sad
That To Show
You Have Lived Honestly In Your Body
Is To Show
To The Wicked World
That You Are
A Penniless Nobody!


God Bless The Child
Reared
To Invite
The Spirit Of The Holy God
In His Inside
To Abide!


*********

Better A Warm Face
Of
Life-Carved Flesh
Than A Factory Face
Of
Brittle Cold Porcelain Perfection!

PRAYER: Lord, Send The True Relief!


Rich Man!
Poor Man!
Beggar Man!
Thief!
Been There!
Done That!
Lord, Send Me Your True Relief!

You Are The Captain!
The Captain Of My Ship!
I Am Your Disciple, Lord!
Please Don't Let My Anchor Slip!

I Am Your Child,  Lord!
Lord, Mark My Way!
Give Me Light For The Pathway!
Lord, Help Me Not To Stray!

I Make Petition, Lord!
I Make My Final Stand
On The Rock Of My Salvation
Take Me, Lord
To Heaven's Table Land!
AMEN!

*********

Rich Man - Born Into Money
Poor Man - Born Without Access To Money
Beggar Man - Hoping Someone Will Give Him Money
Thief - Hoping To Relieve Someone Of Their Money

Rich Man - Thief By Trade
Poor Man - Begging Rich Man For His Wage

All Men - Rich And Poor
Can Become Thief Or Beggar Of Lore
Upon The Swinging Of A Simple Door!

All Men 
Are Subject 
To 
The Vagaries Of Life!

All Men Need God's Grace!



Proverbs 30:7-9 KJV

God Is On HIS Throne!






Sense is Not Sensible!
Health is Not Healthy!
Faith is No Faithful!
Loving is Not Loving
AND
Sin is Not Sinful!

Hate is Not Hateful!
Friends are Not Friendly!
Play is Not Playful
AND
Sin is Not Unsightly!

The Seer Is Blind!
The Sower is Lame!
The Hearer Is Deaf
AND
Truth is in Chains!

Light is now Darkness!
Hope is now Hell!
Good seems to be Defeated
AND
Wisdom is Dead!

God is on HIS THRONE!
There is no ET on my Telephone!
AND
Good Luck is where Poor People 
Get Pay-day Bank Loans!

BUT ...

Believe It or Not
Read your King James or Not
Rested or Not
Polygamist or Polyglot
Dark Horse or Not
Jesus Christ Is Coming Again
AND
Is Fair On The Way
AND
Soon The Sky will Shear Away
AND
The Eastern Sky will be Bright Clear
AND
The Time of Truth - No Time for Dare
Will Finally, Finally Be Right Here!

Until Then ...

The Lord Is My Shepherd!
I Shall Never Know Want
AND
I Will Not Envy The Evil-doers
No Matter What Wild Riches 
They Flagrantly
Constantly 
Flaunt!







As For Me ...

I Am Satisfied By My God

Chasing Rainbows?!?



Chasing Rainbows?!?
By Bus?
By Car?
Are They Near Here Or 
Very Far?

Chasing Rainbows!
How Peculiar
For The Child Who Believes
In Heaven
That's Very Near 
BUT 
Physically Far!

The Child Who Believes
In The God of Heaven
AND 
Prays and Pleads
Has No Need to Chase Rainbows
Ever Seeking for Worldly Gold's 
Deceitful Glow
FOR
That Believing Child Knows
The Rainbow is Representative of
The Holy Covenant
Which Holds Nothing
For Those Who Are
*Revenant!
*Returned as a Spirit from The Dead; Ghost!

The Believer Has His Rest
For His Living God Does Best
For His Child
Relieving His Stress
Removing his Hates
AND
Overwhelming Worldly Distress
So that His Child May Stand On Zion's Hill Crest
With All The Redeemed
AND
The Faithful
Blessed
To Receive The Reward
Of A Mansion Of Bright Gold
Gold Crown
White Robe and
New Song
Peace and
Rest
From Jesus Christ
The Lord God Victorious!


So ....?

Rainbow Chaser?

No!

That's for Those
Who Believe
The Living God
Is
An Elegantly Robed Inebriated Clown!


Don't Chase The Rainbow!

Chase After The Living Holy God 
Who Painted
and
Places 
The Rainbow!

HAPPY SABBATH! + HEAR YE! HEAR YE: Another Gospel?!?







The Hottest Group In Gospel Town
IS
Prosperity Sin and Security
AND
Their Raps Are Truly Worldly 
Dynamic
Profound!

Their Rhythms Are Rocking!
Their Dance Moves Are Sweet!
Their Manager Narcissus
Is A Gamester Super Geek!

Their Resource Book is A Hodge Podge
Of Popular Theories and Random Thoughts
Spurious
Not Encumbered by
Soul Searching 
AND
Given Over To 
Publicly Acting As You Will Want!

Prosperity And In Sin
Were in The Group First!
Prosperity Bought Security
AND
Security Kissed Sin 
AND 
Prosperity Sin and Security Became The Gospel's Hot Throuple
That Everybody Is Following 
Wanting to be their Follow-Fashion Double!

Sadly ...

Unbeknownst to Blinkered All
Prosperity Sin and Security
Are A Plant Raised Up By That Fraud
Who Has Not A Single Problem
Selling His Bill Of False Goods
That Doing Sin Is Expected From Man
That Prosperity Is Heavenly Approval, and
That Security Is The Meal of
Young Lamb
With Fresh Herbs
Basmati Rice
Avocado and Cucumber
Peas Carrots and Beans
Ice Cream and Apple Pie and 
Sparkling Cider on Cracked Ice!

"It's Too Yummy!! Nice! Nice!"

To All Who Love Jesus
The Christ Crucified
Get A Grip
AND
Please Remember
Sin Carries Around A Vice
That Immobilizes and Locks
AND
Sets One Apart
As Part of The Rabble
Outside The Safe Ark
Where Those Who Love Trust and 
Follow The Lord and His Word
Are Safe From Condemnation
When They Shall Stand Before 
The Lord of All Creation!

Please Do Not Let Fleeting Pleasures
Lock You Up and
Then Block
You Off From Your Blessings 
As A Member of God's Flock!

Sin IS A Fire Sale!
Prosperity Has Rubber Legs, and
Security IS An Illusion That Makes You Pay As You Beg
For Comfort and Affection
Colored Real Pretty and Neat Neat
BUT
Leaves You All Blackened
Crawling On The Floor As You Weep:

"Please,  Someone!
Please Save Me!
I'm Down On The Hard Floor!
I'm Weak!
I'm Tired!
I Can't Take Any More!"

Don't Be Fooled By Emotions
Thrills and Loud Noise
That Cover Up Nothing but 
Emptiness and Lies!

"Doth Says The Lord!"
Is The Modus Operandi
Anything Else
Is Hear and Live Lie, and Then
Eternally Die!


Another Gospel 
IS 
For Those 
Who CHOOSE To Believe 
In
 That "OTHER JESUS!"

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Good Evil Good






One day I met Mr. Evil
His last name was So-Good
He was a stunning bold sinner
And before Me he proudly stood!

Then I came across the Saintly Good Evil
Loving, Faithful, and Kind
He was bruised and battered
But he did not repine!

Some people see these men as interchangeable
Some people thought them twins
But those who listened to The Master
Knew them to be stone cold enemies
Never, Ever friends!

They both had similar missions:

"Go ye into The World!
Take up a Position!
Let Your Voice be Heard!
Create Division! Division!"

Problems very soon surfaced -
Someone had flipped The Script
These gentlemen's Birth Certificates were altered
Information checked out Absurdly Sick!
Messages didn't fit the lip!

Good Good had become Good Evil!
Evil Evil had become Evil Good!
The Masterful Deception was Total
And The People faced The Flood 
Of Right Wrongs
Wrong Rights
Light Darks
Dark Lights
Bitterly Sweet
Sweetly Bitter
Sinful Saints and
Saintly Sins
Both Day and Night
With Glitter Glitter!

Life became Dire
Dire unto The Fire
Which could would turn This Old World
Into a veritable Funeral Pyre!

But ... despite The Deception
In a small glade
Lived Gaude S. Good
Whose son was Savior who
By The Crosswise Way
He always stood
Preaching and teaching
Giving of himself
Warning, ever warning to
Don't trust The Elf
Whose tongue was lizard
Whose words were forked
Who thrived on Deception
Desire and Things Dark!

Gaude S. Good, Jr. - Savior baptized
Outed The Devil
Exposing The Lies
And giving His People
Hope Bona Fides
To hold
To help
To heed
To heal
To feed and to succor
To Salvation Lead
Despite Deadly Deeds
Starving Souls He Feeds!

He Feels for His Fellows
He Prays for their Souls
His Inward Light Burning
His Eyes as Flame Glows
His Passion over-flowing
His Heart is on Show
He will not a Soul surrender!
No! No! No!

All that His Father gave Him
All unto Him go
Full of contrition
Of Sin do repent
He draws and he Shepherds them
Into The Safe Fold
None will be cast out
Into The Night Cold!

Blessed are The Sheep
Savior holds Dear
For Now and Forever
They Abide in His Care
Until The Finale
When All will be Revealed
When The Saints of The Ages
Will before God The Father 
In Holy Worship kneel!

Put a Pin in a Ball Balloon
and
All The Air Flows Out!


Put a Jesus Pin in Your Sin
and
The Devil Flees as He Cries Out!
