How Can You Be Sorry
For Doing Something That
You Have Not Yet Done!?!
And Pray Tell Why Were You Offering Repentance Before-Hand
And Then Committing Sin!?!
Did You Really Believe That The Living God Holy
Was, Is, Going To Accept Your Putrid Offering!?!
Look, Just In Case You Have Not Been Told
Nor Are You Aware
Your Pre-Performance Repentance For What Is Known Sin
Is The Sin Called Presumption
And
The God Of All Grace Will Not Accept
Your Not-A-Gift
And You Will Have An Unrepented Of Sin On Your Record
In Your Hands!
That Was Extraordinarily Foolish!
It Sounded Cute! I Thought It Was Cute!
I Wanted To Do My Own Thing But I Didn't Want To Offend The Lord Outright
So I Decided To Go For The Two-For-One
You Know, The BOGO
Buy One Get One Free Or At A Great Discount ...!
... You Simply Cannot Be For Real!
You Have Surely Lost Your Mind!
Do You Really Believe That
You And The Living God Are Street-Hustling Partners
So That You Can Dishonor Him
With Your Philosophical Garbage
And He'd Be Eternally Grateful
For Your Smelly Contribution!?!
What Were You Thinking!?!
I Wasn't!
Do You Realize That You Could Have Died Out There
And
In One Fell Swoop
You Would Have Been Lost
To The Kingdom Of Christ ... Forever!?!
I Wasn't Thinking ...!
... I Wanted To Be Just Like Everybody Else
One Last Time ...!
... You Were Almost A Corpse ... Like Nobody Else!
Please Don't Say That!
I Did, And It Stands!
Was Your Foray In Fun Really Worth This Outcome!?!
Look At Yourself!
Body Brace, Shoulder Brace
Elbow Braces, Wrist Braces
Knee Brace, Eye-Patch And
All Just For A Cheap Thrill!?!
I Did It!
It's Done!
You Could Have Been Done
But Almighty God Was Merciful To You!
Thank You, Father, For Saving Grace!
Thank You, Lord
He Still Has A Life In The To-Salvation Race!
Thank You, Lord
For Not Letting Him Be Destroyed
And Be Lost To The Glorious Kingdom
Because Of Gross Folly
And Thank You For Relieving Satan
Of The Opportunity
Against Jesus Christ
To Be Vindictively Joyful And Happy!
Please, Tan, I Beseech You
Do Not Tempt The Lord Again!
You Are A Mortal
And You Can Have Your Life Recalled! Don't Be Presumptuous! You Know That We're Trying To Get Out From Under The Effects Of The Fall So Don't Be Like The Very Foolish Strong-Man Samson And The Wittingly Presumptuous King Saul! Lord, Forbid! The Lord Knows That I Am Truly Sorry! I've Learned My Lesson And It's The Straight And Narrow Way For Me From Hereon! I Love You But The Lord Loves You The Best! Do Not Ever Again Put Him To The Test! I Sincerely Promise That I Won't Do That Again! Let's Praise Jesus And Glorify Almighty God! AMEN!!!
I Like Hearing You Say It But Why Did He Say It And What Does It Mean?!
Oh, Sorry! He Was Talking About Samson The Judge Being Led Astray By His Eyes His Appetite For Flesh And Courting Even Sleeping With The Enemies Of God And Ultimately Ending Up Dead!
It's Like This ...
Samson Was Dedicated To Almighty God A Nazarite By Birth But He Chose For His Tasty Morsels That Which Was Forbidden By His Lord The Eternal God!
Samson Abused His Gift Of The Holy Spirit And Grieved The Holy Spirit Away And He Didn't Even Know That The Spirit From His Person Was Missing For To The Depths Of Sin He Had Sunk Real Low!
He Betrayed His God! He Was Bound! He Lost His Hair! He Was Made Blind! He Was Made To Grind Wheat For The Enemy - The Enemies Of God - But He Came To Needed Repentance
And He .. On His Feet
Served The Philistines
A Magnificent Defeat
More Grand Than When He Ranged About The Land
Free
To Do As He Pleased!
Doing Sin Is A Conceit But
To Please The Living God
From Sin
Beat A Hasty Retreat
And Then
The Devil Cannot You Defeat!
That's Sweet! Better To Be A Coward And Depart From Sin Than To Be Bold And To The Lake Of Fire Burning With Brimstone Be Cast In! That Sounds Like A Worthy Goal And A Sure Way To Save One's Soul! Brother, The Half Has Not Been Told!
Yesterday, I Learned Men Can Really Behave As Fools AND Women Can Be Enormously Wicked!
AND
Women Talk Too Much
AND
Are Too Concerned With The Wrong Things
AND Men Need To Stand Up For The Right
AND
Say "NO!" To The Wrong
AND
Mean It!
The Adam And Eve Scenario Rides Again ... And Again!
The Truth Is ...
Having A Pocket Book Does Not Make A Woman A Bank! Having A Pen Does Not Make A Man A Scribe! Having A Heart Does Not Make A Woman A Home
AND Having A Heart Should Never Force A Man For A Woman's Maliciously Egregious Behavior
To Atone!
Men Need To Learn That If
Eating A Gourmet Catered Meal Will
Cost Your Life It Is Time
To Eat Dry Bread And Rancid Butter
AND
Live ... Free!
Women Need To Learn That Modern Adam - Just Like Adam Of Old Had - Has More Ribs To Spare AND The Creator God Still Has Creative Power AND Powerful Skills!
Almighty God Does Not Like Ugly Foolish Wicked Unkind Hateful Nor Evil Behavior!
AND
There Is Neither Fool Foolish Heart Nor Wicked Person Nor Wicked Hand Going Heaven So Man And Woman Wise Up!
An Ugly Mind In A Pretty Face Does Not Make One Beautiful!
AND A Foolish Heart In A Buff Body Does Not Make One Smart! Wise Up!
The Wisdom Of The Wise Does Not Folly Disguise AND
The Wiles Of The Wicked Do Not Lead Supposed Saints
To Gloriously Heaven!
Remember These Things ...
Adam Didn't Want To Lose Eve's Companionship So He Willfully Sinned To Keep It
Solomon Loved Many Idolatrous Women Who Caused Him Against The Living God To Knowingly Sin
Samson Knowingly Consorted With A Prostitute And Wittingly Gave Up His Blessing To Gain Supposed Peace From That Whining Idolatrous Woman
King Herod Foolishly Promised And By Weakness Executed And Salvered John The Baptist's Head Because His Unmentionable Portion Was, By The Gyrations Of A Nubile Dancer, Inordinately Pleased
AND
If These Things Do Not Teach Us Anything Satan Will Continue Damnation's Song - Enthusiastically -
To Sing Against Those Who Lust AND Indulge The Fleshy Fling!
We Should Be Aware By Now, That ... Misery Likes Company! Sin Hates Salvation! Truth Always Survives Darkness! Hate - Like Lies - Despises Light!
Men Need To Ever Speak AND Stand In The Truth
For They Are The Family Priests! Women Need To Constantly Spread Heavenly Light
For They Are Our Children's Teachers!
Man And Woman - In Salubrious Combination - Walking With The Lord AND Departing The Ways Of The Fraud Are A Blessing In The Society Of Man AND THEY Seeking Peace Through Faithfulness AND Doing Right Having Their Steps Ordered AND Living Orderly In Christ For Christ's Sake Shall At The Appointed Time Live With The Lord Christ In Eternal Peace In Paradise!
Brethren,
Let's Put Jesus First AND Take A Firm And Committed Step To The Christ AND Thereby
I Am Asking ... Dad, I Am Asking You, Well, Because The Guys Keep Talking About All The Athletes Sportsmen Entertainers And Actors And Money As Oh, So, Great But ... Something Is Nagging At The Edge Of My Consciousness!
It's As If There Is Something Really Important
That I Need To Understand So As Not To Accept What's On The Street As Fact!
Okay. Sit Down With Me And We Shall Seek To Get You Your Answer!
First Things First!
Father In Heaven,
We Come As Children
Willing To Learn
And Seeking Your Guidance!
Please Guide Into Your Truth
In Jesus' Name.
AMEN.
Son,
It Is Written That
By Wisdom You Build Your House By Understanding It Is Established ...
... And By Knowledge Its Chambers Are Filled With Pleasant And Precious Riches!
All Right! We're On The Same Page! Now Tell Me What You Understand To Be The Visible Character Of Many Of Those Lauded In The Public Domain As Great?!
Dad, I Can Count
- Without Even Thinking - The Many So-Called Greats Who Lack True Character!
Many Of Them Are Drug Abusers Womanizers Indulge In Abominable Lifestyles Lack Self-Control Rabble-Rousers, And More And I Don't Understand
Why They're Called Great!
Several Of The Old Greats
- Still Considered Great -
Even Committed Suicide
And Many Of The Young Crop
Are Following In Their Footsteps!
What's So Great About That?!
Son, Do You Remember The Story Of Samson
The Judge In Israel At The Time Of The Philistine Dominion!
Of Course!
He Was The Strongest Man Who Ever Lived!
He Was The Greatest!
And ... He Was The Weakest!
How Can You Say That?!
He Tore A Lion In Half ... With His Bare Hands
Killed 1,000 Men With The Jawbone Of An Ass Lifted The City Gates Off Its Hinges ... He Was Truly, Truly, Fantastic!
He Was Fantastically Foolish He Had No Self Control He Lived By His Emotions
AND Of Him His Libido Had Control!
He Who Is Mastered By Earthly Desire Is Weak! True Strength Comes From The Emotions You Control Not The Emotions That Control You Using Up Your Life Force With Vanity And Things That Do Not Elevate You!
Yes, Sir.
Let's Reason This Out Together ...
Samson Was A Nazarite From Birth He Was Dedicated To God
He Was To Avoid Wine And Alcohol He Should Not Have Been Fraternizing With The Idolatrous Philistine Women
He Should Not Have Married One! He Should Not Have Been Involved With Delilah, A Known Prostitute!
Yeah, Especially One Whose Name Means Consumer!
No, Son. He Should Not Have Allowed Himself To Participate In The Charms Of Any Prostitute - He Was Set Apart AND Designated As Holy Unto God!
Samson Utterly Betrayed His God By Foolishly Betraying His Secret For A Tawdry Exploration AND He Put Himself Outside The Ark Of Safety The Hedge Of Protection AND For His Weakness His Willfulness His Malicious Disobedience He Caused The Spirit Of The Living God To Finally Depart From Him!
I Guess He Was Not So Great After All!
Samson Would Have Been Truly Great IF He Had Been Faithful AND IF He'd Had Self-Control AND Firmness Of Resolve AND Practiced Self-Denial Not Giving In To The Lust Of His Eyes The Lust Of His Flesh AND The Pride Of Life Trusting In His Long Hair And His Muscles Neither Of Which Gave Him One Single Iota Of Power!
His Power Came From His Fidelity His Devotion To His Living And Holy God!
Neither Fame Nor Fortune Nor Associations Make One Great! They Can, However Make One Notorious Careless Indifferent Unfaithful Faithless Wicked Wasteful AND Turn One Into A Wastrel!
Son, Satan Uses
Our Cherished Character Defects AND Flaws To Undermine AND Ultimately Destroy Us!
I Guess Buying Into Your Own Press Is Not A Good Idea!
It Isn't!
Hmm ...
So, Dad Would You Say That Faithfulness Self ... Control Obedience To God Self ... Denial Integrity AND Firm Resolve Are Some Of The Attributes That Make A Man Great?!
Yes, I Do ... But
Think On This:
Samson Was Physically AND Spiritually Ruined BUT In The Midst Of His Misery He Truly Learned About Himself AND Because Of Complete Repentance AND Turning Away From Sin AND Turning Toward The Savior The Lord Heard Him In His Plea
AND Gave Him Forgiveness AND Restoration To Power To Complete His Mission Even Though It Cost Him His Earthly Life!
This Is Lesson For Us All:
Our Sin May Be Forgiven BUT There Are Always Consequences To Our Wrong-Way Walking!
Thanks, Dad! I Knew I Could Count On You! I Love You!
I Love You, Son! You May Count On Me BUT You Must Depend On AND Trust Completely In And On The Eternal God!
Sampson Betrayed His God AND Himself By Having No Self Control! His Integrity Was Betrayed By "She Pleaseth Me Well!" AND Thereby His Inability To Utter A Firm "No!" In The Face Of Strong Temptation AND The Urge Toward Raging Sin Was Undeniably Stripped Away! Where Was His SIF?! MIA! AWOL! Absconded! Done Run Away! Yup! What Is SIF?! S. I. F. Is Self-control Integrity AND Firmness! Sense Lacked Sensibility! His Secret To Strength Was Under Attack AND The Desire Of His Flesh Unchecked - A Stumbling Block - Ushered Samson Into The Hand Of Satan Who Didn't Fear His Clear Weakness To Hijack!
Master Your PASSIONS!
Master Your SELF!
And
Master Your MIND
By Being To Almighty God
Devotedly INCLINED!
God Gives Unto Us The Secret Of Our Success - Hold On To Your S. I. F - It's Your Master Control! Let The Lord Lead You AND Holy Angels Will Defend AND Don't Be Overcome By Taste Buds That Caused The Ultimate Destruction AND Death Of The Strongest Of Strong Men! God Bears With Men Long Issuing Calls To Repentance BUT Continuing Descents Into Known Corruptions Will Ultimately Lead Us To A Decimating Volcanic Eruption Which If We Are Not Completely Abandoned To Self And To Sin Will Lead Us To True Self Discovery AND Confession AND Repentance AND Asking The Living God For Mercy's Help AND Grace's Full Restitution!
