Is Your Presence A Beautiful Present!?!













Is Your Presence A Beautiful Present 
Or Is It A Funeral Pyre!?! 

Is Your Presence A Gift Of God 
Or A Thorn Branch From King Fraud!?! 

Beloved, 

Have You Ever Heard These Expressions Spoken About Anyone 
Or, I Hope Not, Have Ever Heard Them Spoken About Yourself: 

He Could Make A Rock Cry! 
She Could Suck The Air Out Of A Room! 
She Always Looks Like She Bit Into A Lemon! 
Or, He Brings His Own Weather With Him!?! 

Dear Ones, 

There Is Also The Expression Which Says That 
When You Laugh, The World Laughs With You
But When You Cry, You Cry Alone! 

The Question Is: 

How Do We, Or How Are We To Stand In All Of This!?! 

Let's Go Back To The Point Of Beginning And Remember That 
We Are Called The Children Of God 
And, As Such
We Should Be Light And Salt 
Aka The Gift Of God To Mankind! 

We Are Not To Walk Around Grinning Inanely 
Like We've Lost Our Minds 
Nor Are We To Walk Around Like We Have No Hope 
And Are Trying To Make Others To Be As We Have Become! 

Beloved, 

Jesus Christ Has, In Mercy, Given Us Hope, Help, And Healing Now, 
And Then 
Heaven At The Last Trumpet To Look Forward To! 

Please Let Us Endeavor From This Day Forward 
To Remember Whose We Are
Why We Are Here
What We Are To Accomplish
And 
Where We Are Headed! 

Plan Your Work And Work Your Plan 
As, When, Where, And How The Lord Leads You! 

You Are Not Alone! 
Look Up To Jesus Now! 

Peace!

YEAST AND SIN: Actions And Reactions Have Consequences!

 





A Lil' Bit O' Yeast Will Raise A Pound Of Flour 
But 
A Lil' Bit O' Sin Ain't No Biggie! 
Where Is The Logic In This Faulty Thinking!?! 

If Little Is Much When Almighty God Is In It
Does It Not Stand To Reason That 
A Little Sinning Is A Whole Lot Of Sinning 
Because 
Satan's Grubby Fingers Are All Up In It!?! 

Beloved, 

Strait And Narrow Way Walkers Are An Affront 
To Stray-Away And Keep Hope At Bay Talkers! 
Are You A Walker Or A Talker!?! 

Are You Good Yeast Pointing Others To The Fold Of Faith 
Or 
Are You Raising Cain 
And 
Encouraging Others To Do As They Please 
Because
Well, Why Not!?! 

Peace-Keepers Don't Make War 
An
Those Who Make War Against Truth 
Can Never Be At Peace Without Truth! 

As Committed Christians
We Must Tidy Our Thinking With The Word Of God 
In Order To Keep Our Thoughts Pure! 

We Must Taste Our Words 
To Ensure That They Are Properly Seasoned With Salt 
Before We Spit Them Out! 

Our Thoughts Impact Our Words 
And
Influence All Of Our Actions 
And
The Lives And Well-Being Of Those Around Us 
So Please Do Not Think That 
You Can "Do You" And You're Done! 

Actions Cause Reactions 
And
Both Have Consequences! 
Think About It! 

Pray For Peace 
And 
Let The Holy Spirit Raise You 
And 
Raise You Up To Glory!

Taste Like Light And Shine Like Salt!

As I Was Saying
Tame Supplication ... Truth Be Told
Is
Dogging ...!

... You Mean Stalking ...!

... Alright, Already!

Tame Supplication Has Been Stalking Full Expectation
To Try To Find Out Why 

Said Stalker's Prayers Are Ineffectual!

$25.00 Word!
Got Any Cheaper Versions!?!

Would "Unanswered" Better Suit You!?!

Assuredly!
His Problem Straight Up, Though
Is That He Is Acting Foolish!

You Must Not Call A Brother A Fool
Or Foolish!

Why Not!?! That's How He Behaves!

Aren't You Behaving "Foolishly" As Well!?!

No! I Gave That Up A While Ago!

Brothers, I'm Lost!
Please Explain What's Going On Here!

Very Well!
The Fool Says In His Heart
"There Is No God!"
And 
Said Fool Repeatedly Refuses To Listen To Wisdom
And
Repeatedly Chooses To Perform Contrary 
To The Commandments Of God
And
Contrary To His Divinely Assured Prospects 

For Eternal Happiness!

Lord, Preserve Us!
Repeatedly Doing The Same Thing
And Expecting A Different Result
Is Called Madness!

And Coming To The Stark Realization That There Is No Profit
In Either Foolishness Or Madness
Is 
When One Starts Looking At And Into
The Lives Of Those Who Are Shining Lights And Tasty Salt!

Lights Taste Salty
And
Salt Shines Brightly!



The Name Of Jesus
And
Christian Character
Is Not A Uniform To Be Put On And Taken Off
According To Our Desires, Audience, And Venue!


When The Lord Is Within Us
It Shows In All That We Say And Do ...!


... And Let's Not Forget That 
Our Thoughts Are Often Displayed Upon Our Faces 
For All The World To See! 

Indeed!

At All Costs ... Guard Your Heart
Because
A Consistent Life Lived With, In, And For Christ Jesus
Blesses You, Your Observers And Associates
And
Our Holy Lord!

Think About This:




Think Brethren
About Why It Would Be
Horrendously, Soul-Searingly, Sad
To Gallantly Performs The Works Of The Living God 
And Yet 
Never Do His Will! 

That Way Of Life Is Not Praise-Worthy! 

Total Obedience Is Better Than Bitter Sacrifice! 

It Will Be Terrible To Lose Christ's Glory Because 
We Are Too Proud To Be Obedient
And Too Faithless To Endure 
And Do All That The Lord Requires! 

We Must Submit Our Will To Our Jesus
And 
We Must Walk Faithfully In His Holy Ways! 

We've Got To Be True To Our Calling
And
Faithful Until Death
For It Is Only At His Coming

That We Will Most Assuredly Be Eternally Blessed! 

Indeed! 
Eternal Glory Awaits Only The Enduring, Obedient, Faithful! 

May The God Of Glory
In The Name Of The Holy Jesus
By The Working Of The Holy Spirit Of Truth
And
With The Protection 
And
Good Influence Of The Holy Angels
Ever Excelling In Strength
Keep Us Faithful!

AMEN!!!

SALT!! + PRAYER: Father, Please Raise Us Up!





S.A.L.T.
Used To Be
The Strategic Arms Limitation Talks
BUT
S.A.L.T. ... To A Christ-Following Christian
Means
Seeking After Light And Truth
That Stops Satan
AND
The Machinations Of The Minions
AND
Benefits And Blesses
Both Me And You!

Salvation Awaits!
The Lord's Truth I Speak!
Let No Man Or Devil Shortchange You!
Head For Glory
AND
Gain Immortality
AND
Eternal Youth!

*********

Heyyy! How Are You?
Stomach Empty!
Bed Warm!
Eyes Cloudy!
Trusting God!
What About You?

Eating ... But Thirsty!
Walking And Waiting!
Looking For Light!
Suffered A Fright!

Wow! Do Tell!
You Sound Serious!

I Am Very Serious!
I Sat In The Congregation
Hoping ...

Do You Think That God
Would Encourage A Professed Christian
To Do Evil To Gain A Good?!

No! That Is Sinful!
God Cannot Sin
And By His Own Word
Be Still God!
God Does Not Operate That Way!
God Does Not Tempt Man!
It Is Man's Lusts
Which When Conceived
That Bring Sin!
...  And We Know Where THAT Leads!

You Ever Ate A Meal That Left You Really Thirsty?
Sure! If Too Much Salt Was In The Food!

The Last Sermon At Church Was Like That!

The Food Supposedly Coming From The Lord
Had Too Much Salt Of The Earth!
Only Problem Was
The Salt Had No Savor
And All It Was Good For
Was To Be Thrown To The Ground
And As A Result
Everybody Washing Out Their Mouths On God
On All The Christians
Willfully Sinning Or Not!

And, Now, I Am Thirsty
Really Thirsty ... For God!

I Won't Go Into The Nitty Gritty
But I Will Give You A Hint:

Inside The Head Of Man
Is A Brain Not Made Of Lead!
Below The Navel Of Man
Is A Little Brain
By Which Lust Is Fed
AND
I Will Broadly Ask You This:

How IS It
That We Know When Others Commit Sexual Sin
But When The Pastor Has Got
A Girlfriend
A Boyfriend
Children And A Wife
Everybody Important Says
He's Misunderstood
And That Those Not Illuminated
Need To Get A Life!?

You're Kidding, Right?!
Wrong! So Very Wrong!

Don't They Know
That Judgment Begins
In The House Of God?
Don't They Understand
That Leading People Astray Is A Tenet Of The Fraud?!
Don't They Believe That What God Says He Will Do
He Will Do?!
Don't They Know That They Will Be Held Responsible
For Another's Soul
When They Know Of Sin
And Don't Warn A Brother Sister
Who Is Not Walking True?!

Ezekiel 14:21
Says God Has Four Big Sticks:
Famine
Sword
Noisome Beasts
AND
Pestilence!

Famine 
Is Not Just For Food 
But Also For The Word
That Is Roundly Despised!
A Sword 
Can Cut You Down To Size
Or Take Your Life!
And There Are Noisome Beasts
Things That Are
Annoying, Unpleasant, Offensive, Harmful 
To Expose Your Life
Or To Take You And Your Life Apart!
AND
Pestilence aka Dread Disease
To Menace
AND
If Unstayed
To Even Destroy Your Life!

Those Big Sticks Are Progressive
AND
They Do Worse And Worse
To Gain Our Attention
If We Do Not Humble
Or Refuse To Humble
Ourselves!

We Should Know 
Not To Play With God!
We Can't Surprise Him!

We Should Know 
Not To Try To Tempt God!
We Can't Outwit Him!

We Need To Know 
That We Can't Deny God
For Our Defiance
Won't Deny Him His Authority Over Us!

AND ...

We Really Need To Accept That
We Can Really And Truly Walk Away From God
For The Final End Of A Man's Life's Journeys
Is In The Presence Of Almighty God!
Judgment Day Is There For Us All Waiting!

We Need To Recognize Our Need
For Jesus Christ The Lord
AND
Repent!

Amen! Amen! AMEN!





PRAYER:

Lord, Pity Us
And Forgive Us
For Our Acts Of Folly
And
Have Mercy On Us
When We Are Then Caused To Walk
In Disgrace
And
When We Bow Our Heads In Supplication
As We Avidly Seek After You
To Take Shame From Our Face!

Father,
Please Raise Us Up 
So That We May Lift You Up!
Please Hold Our Hand
So That We May Firm On The Word Stand!
Please Take Us Under Your Sheltering Wings
When Satan Does
Hell's Flames Fan
And
Help Us To Honor
Worship
And
Faithfully Praise
Our Redeemer
The Living One Holy
The Risen Son Of Man!

Lord, Help Us
To Walk The Straight And Narrow Way
So That For Our Own Sins
We Don't Have To Eternally Pay!
In The Name Of Jesus Christ
The Only One Who Saves
We Humbly Plead 
And Also Say
We Love You, Lord!
AMEN.
