VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Present Pleasurable Participation ... In Sin!?!

 Actually, It Is Quite Simple! 

Jesus Christ Died To Save His People From Their Sins! 

Come On Now, Letsi! 

There Has To Be More To It Than That! 

Who Are His People!?!

Mankind! 

All Of Mankind Is His People Because He Made Man! 

He Did Not Make Christians! 

He Calls Mankind To Be Christ's Followers! 

We Were First Called Christians At Antioch! 

Don't Change The Subject, Jarvis! 

Very Well, Morley! 

Jesus Christ Died To Save His People From The Penalty

The Power, And Thank You, Jesus, The Presence Of Sin! 

What Did You Say Was The Penalty For Sin, Letsi!?! 

The Scriptures Say That The Penalty Aka The Paycheck 

Aka The Wages Of Sin Is Death! 

But Don't Lose Hope, Though! 

Almighty God Added On Some Really Good News! 

By The Apostle Paul In His Letter To The Church At Rome

He Said In Chapter 6 Verse 23: 

"...  But The Gift Of God Is Eternal Life

Through Jesus Christ Our Lord!" 

You Got Anything Else To Sweeten The Pot!?!

After All, If I'm To Give Up The Pleasures Of Sin That

I Have Enjoyed For Such A Long Season

Something Much Better Has Truly Got To Replace It! 

Hear, Hear, Grabby! 

We Can't Forget Having Heard That Seldom Comes A Better 

So Give Us Something Solid, Something That

Can't Be Beaten For Its Astronomical Benefits! 

Very Well, Lindry! 

Would Being Free From The Power Of Sin Be To Your Liking 

For Your Surely Eternal Benefit!?! 

Candy, If Tomorrow Ain't Promised

How Come You Promising Me An Eternal Benefit!?! 

I'm Not Promising You Anything, Lindry! 

The Lord Jesus, He Who Inhabits Eternity

Is The One Promising You The Eternal Benefit Because Of 

The Spilling Of His Blood Known Innocent! 

For This We Harken Back To The Lord Jesus Christ 

Dying On The Cross So That We Might Live! 

Wouldn't It Be Lovely To Know, Blessed To Embrace 

The Fact That Sin, With A Known Expiration Date 

Which Is Beyond Our Lifespan Should Time Tarry

Can No Longer Put Its Defiling Hooks Into Your Nostrils 

And Drag You Behind It To Do Everything That 

The Lord Says "Don't!?!" 

Yes, It Would, Kandy Kannit, But ... Taking A Command From 

The Book You Are Always So Efficiently Quoting: 

"In The Presence

Of

Two Or Three Witnesses

Let A Matter Be Established!" 

Well, Lindry, We Have Established The Matter! 

You Have Received Two Witnesses! 

Well, Ms. Kannit, I Am Pulling Rank On You! 

I'm The Buyer And You Want Me To Buy What You Are Selling 

So I Am Demanding, Yes, Demanding

A Third Witness As Complete Proof Of The Concept! 

What Else You Got!?! 

Very Well, Lindry, We Will Give You A Third Witness!?! 

You Want To Take This One, Massey!?! 

I Don't Mind If I Do, Kandy! 

Mr. Lindry, Outside Of Your Present Pleasant Participation In Sin

How Do You Feel About People Boldly Participating In Sin 

Around You And Your Loved Ones!?! 

Mr. Massey, I Will Honestly Tell You That 

Having People Engaging In And With Sin

And With Patently Obvious Enjoyment ... If You Can Call It That 

Given The Husks That They Become

And The Blood-Curdling Sounds Of Grief

And The Ungodly Screams Of Pain

And The Reports Of What Can Only Be Termed 

As Demonic Acts And Activities

I Would With All Sincerity Love To Be Removed 

From The Presence Of Sin And Sinfulness! 

It Is Interesting That You Say That, Mr. Lindry! 

Would You Care To Extend That Equation 

And Seek To Have Your Sin-Enjoying Presence 

Removed From The Vicinity Of Other Clean-Living People As Well!?! 

Wait, Wait, Wait! 

I'm Waiting, Mr. Lindry! 

Wait ... Hmmm ... But ... Ahhh ... Uh, Huh ... 

Wow ... I Don't Believe It, Mr. Massey! 

What Is It That You Don't Believe, Mr. Lindry! 

Massey, Call Me Lindry! 

Mr. Lindry Is My Gramps! 

Massey, I Am A Hypocrite, Plain As Day, Simple As Syrup! 

I Am Getting A Glimmer Of Light 

So I Invite You To Pull Back The Heavy Curtains Of Ignorance 

And Cast Illumination Into The Dark Room In The House Of My Mind! 

Lindry, I Gladly Take Up Your Offer! 

Your Third Witness Is Our Lord Jesus Dying At Calvary

Being Made A Curse For Us 

To Remove Us From The Very Presence Of Sin! 

No More Satan And His Horde Whispering To Our Sin-Loving Self 

Encouraging Us To Sin Against Almighty God

Against Our Fellow Man And Against Our Own Souls

Against Who We Were Created To Be ... Pure

In The Sight Of God And In The Presence Of 

The Witnesses Who Are Our Brethren! 

Massey!?! 

Yes, Lindry!?! 

I'm Done Running! 

Hallelujah, Jesus! 

AMEN!! 

Peace Be Upon You! 

ADAPTED MINDS BECOME ADEPT: Jaw And Chew This Nugget For A Spell!

For All Amongst Us 

Who Dare And Say That 

They Can Think And Do Whatever They Want 

And

Be Left Unscathed By Sin

Please Jaw And Chew On This Nugget For A Spell: 

Your Mind Adapts To Whatever It Dwells Upon 

And

You Become An Adept At Performing It! 

Sin A Little A Lot

And 

You Shall Sin A Lot A Lot! 

Bottom Line ... 

You Are What You Eat

And

You Get Fleas From Where You Sleep! 

A Repentant Sinner 

Obedient And Enduringly Faithful

Is

A Saint Of God And Christ!

An Unrepentant Sinner

Is

A Sinner Bold ... Heart For Christ Cold

And

Ready Fodder For The Fire That

Shall Satan's Carcass Hold!

Beloved, 

Men, Women And Children Always Follow "Food!" 

The Food They Regularly Ingest 

Is 

The Food They Readily Crave

And 

We Who Call Ourselves Christians 

And 

Boldly Say And Declare 

With The Arrogance Of Self-Confidence Declare That 

We Love The Lord Christ 

And 

Lovingly Read And Swallow The Truth That 

Is 

The Holy Word 

And 

Avidly Live According To Its Precepts And Its Promises 

Should Be Moment-By-Moment Classing Up Our Operations 

As We Travel Undeterred To Hill Zion 

And 

Beautiful Beulah Land! 

Let The Lord Christ Hold Your Hand

And

Perfectly Direct Your Life!

Confidence In Christ

Is 

The Reality

Of

The Forever-Blessed! 

Brethren, Beloved, 

When We Eat Junk As Regular Food

We Get Fat! 

Remember, Remember 

Don't Ever Forget ... 

Fat Is Synonymous With Sin

And 

All Fat ... All Sin

Is 

To Be Willingly Surrendered To Christ Jesus! 

We Must Be Transformed By The Renewing Of Our Minds 

Which Reforms The Thoughts We Have

Which Removes Our Desires For The Unholy And Profane 

So That We No Longer Desire 

To Touch The Unclean Things! 

By Almighty God's Great Grace

With Faith For The Victory

Choose To Remove 

And 

Drop As Dung

Satan's Nasty Nose Rings!

Be Ye Clean Ye Which Bear 

And 

Are The Vessels Of The Lord! 

Peace With Jesus Christ

Is

Paradise!

HAPPY SABBATH + WILLING OBEDIENCE: Stand Up To Go Up!

All Lawlessness Is Sin:

Willful Disobedience

Is

Sin!

Willful Disobedience Flows From A Heart 

Filled With Putrid Pride 

And 

Stinks Of Idolatry 

Because 

It Places Sinful Self 

On The Throne Which Belongs To The Lord Christ! 

Idolatry 

Is 

Willful 

And 

Bold Sin!

That's Behaving Like You Made Yourself! 

Willing Obedience Flows From A Heart 

Filled With Love For Its Maker 

And 

Shows To The Dying World 

What True, Godly, Worship Looks Like! 

Beloved, 

We Are Children Of The Great King

And 

We Must ... By Thought, Word And Deed 

Choose

Willingly Choose

Lovingly Choose

To Walk In Perfect Obedience To The Lord

Following The Law Of Love

No Matter What The Naysayers, Unbelievers And Doubters 

Sarcastically And Spitefully Say! 

Look Around You 

And 

See With Clear Eyes 

The Plain Evidence Of What Happens To Those 

Who Choose To Willfully Walk "Wise" In Their Own Eyes! 

Look Again 

And 

See The Lives Of Those Who Faithfully Choose To Love The Lord 

And 

Show That Love By Staying Within The Law Of Liberty

The Law Of God

The Hedge Of Protection That The Lord Has Provided For Us 

To Shield ... Guard ... Ourselves From Sin 

And 

From Our Accusing Adversary, Satan ... The Very Devil! 

Stand Up To Rise Up: 

Willing Obedience 

Is 

Your Only Propellant! 

Love The Lord Christ! 

Keep The Holy Faith

And 

With Endurance

Obey And Be Blessed! 

Obedience 

Is 

Its Own Reward! 

Jesus Christ's Peace

Is

Always Perfect

For You And Me!

The Sign Post

At The Crossroads Of Hope And Glory
AND
Independence And Pride
AND
Doubt And Defiance
AND
Not Yet And Maybe Later
IS
The Sign Post
Plain To The Seeing Eye:

What Is The Point?

Is It Worth It?

Can You Pay The Price?

Was It Worth The Cost?

How Strange!

Very True!

Very True, It's Strange
Or
It's Strangely Very True!?!

Pick Your Own Poison!

Poison Kills!

So Does Ignorance
Recklessness
Willfulness
Waywardness
Wantonness
Idleness
Fullness Of Bread
Pride
Life Without The Peace Guide

AND
Letting Satan Take You For A Ride!

Whatever Must One Do?!

In Heavenly Love Abide!

Let The Spirit Of God In Your Heart Reside! 

Let The Holy Angels Influence You
So That Vain Self 

AND

Purchased Salvation
Do Not Collide

AND
Get Out Of The Dying World
So That Known Sin
Cannot Take You For The Condemned Man's Last Ride!

Bottom Line ...

In Jesus Christ

Our Savior

Lord, God

Forever Friend

Emphatically

Unreservedly

Unrepentantly

Faithfully

Contentedly

Confide!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Get And Give ... Forgive And Forget?!

Get And Give Are Known Brethren
BUT
At The Time Called Present 
They Do Not In The Same House Live
For
Malicious Sin Had Brought About An Estrangement
The Outcome Of Which
Caused The One To Die!

But, He's Alive Forevermore!

Get Is A Child Beloved
Blessed Of The Lord
Living First
In The Pristine Garden
Visited In The Cool Of The Day
By The Holy Creator God!

Enter The Dragon ...

There Is No Dragon That Is Good!
There Is No Dragon That Loves
AND
This Dragon Was Is No Different
For
He Has Been Cast Out Of The House Of The Lord!

Long Story Short ...

Hateful Dragon Malicious
Tempted The Daughter Get
The Mother-To-Be Of All Living
AND
Like A Loose Flying Object
Into Great Sin Did Her Project!

Lady Get Like All Broken Merchants
Was Not Satisfied To Be Broken ... Alone
AND
She Lured 
Enticed 
Him Out Of Whose Rib
She Had Been Made

AND

He
In Love For Her And Out Defiance Of
The Holy Dictate
Chose To Sin By ... Willful Disobedience
AND
Swallowed
The Fruit
The Dragon's Fib!

Long Story Cut Even Shorter ...

Disparate Progeny Was Begotten
AND 
Righteous Obedient Progeny
Was
By Unrighteous Disobedient Progeny Killed!

The First Brother Killed
The Second Brother
AND
From Then Onward 
In Adherence To The Prescribed Curse
The Get Brethren Were 

Are Dying 
To The Fill!

The Day Came ...

The Great Day Came
When Give
- The Giver Of All -
Gave His All
The Gets From Sin To Recall
BUT
Like All Ingrates Known On History's Page
The One Called Get Got The Name
That Name That Marked Him
To Sin
A Known Slave!

Give
The Giver Of Good Gifts All
Is
Give N. Forgive
To All Who Choose
From The Way Of The Dragon
To Be Recalled
BUT
There
In The Midst
Ever Always
Ingrate Unashamed
IS
New-Named
Get N. Forget
Doubter Unfaithful
Profaner Of The Giver Of Good's Name!

Brethren,

We Are The Ingrates
Get N. Forget
Living Off
Give N. Forgive's Bounty
Accepting The Gifts
Taking Them As Rights
Living With Ingratitude
Unrepentant
Unsaved
BUT
This Is Coming To An End
For
The Signs Of The Times Say So
AND
I Adjure You
Please ...

Deny The Liar
That Dragon Profane

AND 
Give The Giver Of Good Gifts
The One God
Give N. Forgive

Your Personal Gift Of Remembrance 
AND
Get Rid Of Your Forgetfulness
So That You ... Me, Too
Will Have Nothing To Regret
When Comes The Judgment Of
The Get N. Forget Crew!

Seek The Name Change ...

Become
Get N. Give-Praise
AND
In The Day Of Appointment
You Shall
To Highest Heaven Be Raised!

Give ... And It Will Come Back To You! 

The Praise You Give Unto Our Holy God
Will Fall Back On You
When You Have Been Adjudged ... FAITHFUL
On The Great Day!

I Am Striving To Be There!
I Pray God That You Will Strive, Too!

Apeirophobia:- Fear Of Everlasting Life!?!

STOP The Presses!
I've Just Heard It All!
Because You Have Never Experienced Eternal Life
You're Afraid
To Think About It At All!

One Man Decided To Stop Napping
Because His Naps
Induced His Anxiety!
One Person Dreaded The Thought So Much
That The Only Cure Was
Psychiatry!

Satan
At His Magnificent Best
Has Pulled Some Doozies
In His Time
BUT
This Has To Be A Stroke Of Sheer Genius
For
If Can Man Can Be Induced
To Discount The Value Of Everlasting Life
The Lord Jesus Christ
Satan, Evilness Itself
Will Seemingly
Have A Leg Up Against King Jesus!

BUT ...

Let Not Satan 
And His Kind Yet Celebrate!
Almighty God
Is The One
Who Did Man Create!
God
In His Mercy
Has Made Provision
Against Demonic Ingenuity
By Having The Holy Spirit
Reach Out To All Humanity!

Every Man
Has An Opportunity To Know
That God's Everlasting Life
Is For Those
Who Desire There To Go
BUT
It Will Not Be For Lack Of Information
Or
Descents Into Fright
Nor
Misinformation
Nor
Demons Selling Rotten Tripe!

All Men
Will Make Their Decision
On
Full Disclosure Of The Facts
AND
No Fear Of The Unknown
Is Going To Change That!

Satan Is A Liar!
The Father Of Lies!
AND
His Yen To Subversiveness
Does Not Lend To Man
The Lack Of Knowledge Excuse!

Men Say They Fear Death!
Have You Died AND Returned
To Tell Others
The Story
That Dying Burns?

God Says ...

The Dead Know Nothing!
So
Anybody Who "Comes Back"
And Tells Of The Grand Voyage
Of
Meeting Mammy And Pappi
And Dead Movie Stars
And Genghis Khan
And Hitler And His Like
Are Just Like Endor's Witch
With King Saul
Thinking
That They Had Awakened The Prophet Samuel
AND
Heard Him Talking To All!

It Ain't Never No Way Happened
And
It Ain't Going To Happen Today
And
Any Other Stories Being Told
That The Afterlife Is Cobwebs
Perpetual Virgins
Strumming Harps Ad Naseum
Bouncing On Clouds Without Purpose
AND
Eating Ambrosia
AND
Lounging Loafing About
Is Working Working
Working
For That Lied King Unclean
Old Satan Himself
Who Is Suffering From
Envy Quite Green!

No One Known As Living
No One Marked As Dying
Has Any Reason
To Fear Everlasting Life
For
The Preserved Word Of Almighty God Says:

Do Not Despise

Your Birthright!

Do Not Despise

Your Gift!

Do Not Sell Out

God's Good Gold

To Buy

Satan's

Rotting Red Bean Pottage!

**--**--**--**

Do A Jacob

And

Wrestle With God

And

Get That Fiend's Fallacies

Out Of Your Craw!

**--**--**--**

Shuck The Liar's Lies

And

Live

OR

Swallow The Liar's Lies

And

Die!

The Choice

Is

Only Ours To Make!

PLEASURES: "Secret" Sin?!?

Humans Love A Good Open Sin

To Do

To Brag Of

To Drag Someone The Coals Over

BUT

When It Comes To Secret Sin

Hey! Hey!

When Caught Out

They Would A Duppy Roll Over!

Secret Sin

Is

Man's Favorite Kind!

"You Ain't See Me

So I Didn't It Do!"

BUT

Catch A Person

With His Hands In The Stew

AND

His Sinning Is Your Fault

That Bold Sinner Will Argue!

Just As For Open Sin

Confessing Secret Sin

Is Good For The Soul

AND

Making Repentance

Before The Lord

Gets One Out Of The Hands Of The Fraud

BUT

We All Need To Remember

Sin Can't-Never A Secret Be

Because

He Who Sees All

AND

Knows All

Done Mek A Record Of It

AND NOW

You've Got A Black Mark Against You!

I Know

'Cause I Had Me A Few, Too!

"Out Of Darkness 

Into Light!"

Is A Good Word To Remember 

AND

To Hold Onto

If We Will Win

This Life's Dread Against-Sin Fight!

God Is Watching!

Angels Are Watching

AND

Recording 

Good

AND

Bad Works, Too

So Think Twice

AND

Don't Permit Lying Satan

To Mamaguy You!

The Same One Who

Encourages You To Sin

Is

The Same One Who

About Your Sin

Will Be Rabidly Talking!

Trust Your Soul

To None But

Jesus Christ The Lord

Doing All That He Has Commanded Us

AND, THEREBY

We

Will Escape

The Strangulation Cord

Of

The Already-Damned Fraud!

*********

PRAYER:

Father,

I Am Sorry

Forgive Me, I Pray!

I Was Oft' Malicious

And

I Walked Right

In My Own Way!

I Repent Of My Sin!

I Am Sorry

That I Walked

However I Chose

Even Though The Walking

Was Nothing But A Pose!

So, Help Me, 

I Beseech You

To Set Aside Self

And

In Your Heavenly Love

From This Day On

To Abide!

Help Me, My Father

 Ever

In Your Love

To Confide!

I Love You, Lord

And

In The Name

Of

The Beloved Jesus

I Stand, And I Plead!

AMEN.
