The Truth Raises The Dead!

If Jesus Christ Is Our Known Forever-Friend 

And

Satan Is Our Unrelenting Enemy With An Expiration Date

Why, Then, Are We, Through Ungodly Practices

Treating Satan The Adversary As A Bosom Friend 

And 

Jesus Christ The Lord As Our Bitterest Enemy!?! 

If The Truth Of The Lord Jesus Christ 

Is 

Our Hope, Help, And Salvation

And 

The Lies Of  Satan Are For Our Destruction And Damnation

Why, Then, Are We Treating Known-Truth Like Lies 

And 

Known-Lies As The Truth!?! 

Beloved, 

Beware, Be Aware, Be Wary When Those 

Who Are Called To Be Under-Shepherds Of 

The Heritage Of The Living, Holy, God 

Are Asking You To Accept Their Ruminations

Speculations, Suppositions, And Heresies 

As Fact Upon Which To Build 

"A Future Of Bliss" 

On The Earth Which Is Scheduled By The Lord Of Life

The Creator God ... The Judge Of All Flesh 

For An Everlasting Burning 

Aka A Burning Which Will Not Be Put Out By Any Hand

A Burning Which Must Extinguish Itself 

Because 

There Is Nothing Left Within It 

Upon Which The Fire Of God May Feed!?! 

Dear Ones, 

The Truth Is Not Always Palatable, Tolerable

Easily Swallowed, Willingly Accepted

Or Gratefully Embraced 

But

It Will Always Be True, Right, Worthy ... Saving! 

Please Let Us Not Worry About Who Calls Us Straight-Laced 

Via Technicolor Words Oft Used By Sailors And The Like-Minded! 

The Truth Raises The Dead 

And

Lies Bury The Living! 

Think About It! 

Peace!

Bluntly Shame The Devil!

The Devil Is The Liar 

And

The Father Of Lies 

And

All Who Operate As He Does 

Will Suffer The Same Way That He Will 

Unless They Confess And Repent 

Aka Turn Away From Sin And Sinning! 

Beloved, 

Sinners Are What We Are By Nature 

But

Choosing To Be Nurtured In The Fear And Admonition 

Aka Caring Counsels Of The Holy God 

In The Person Of Jesus Christ The Lord, The King

- The Judge Of All Flesh -

Will See Us Safe, Sheltered, And Protected

Inside The Beloved City 

When ... Effectively And Efficiently

All Hell Literally Breaks Loose On This Planet 

And 

Sin, Sinners, Satan, And All His Cohort Are Forever Destroyed! 

Dear Ones, 

In The Name Of Jesus

Do Not, DO NOT, Don't Rationalize Sin 

To Make Yourself "Feel Better" About 

What Should Make You Seriously Feel Like Death Warmed Over 

And

For The Lord's Sake

Please Do Not Make Inane Excuses For The Wicked, Sinful

Downright Evil Actions Of Others 

By Saying That Their Mum Didn't Nurse Them

Their Dad Didn't Buy Them A Lolly

Society Failed Them

And 

The World Owes Them A Living! 

There Is No Human 

Who Does Not Know Right From Wrong: 

Just Watch A Young Child Lying 

And 

Trying To Blame Their Sibling

Or "Invisible Friend" For Wrong-Doing! 

Let's Valiantly Class Up Our Operating Manual 

Via Input From The Living Word Of The Holy God 

And

Bluntly Shame The Devil Today! 

Do Right! 

The King Is Coming! 

Peace!  

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Whatever You Want, Satan Will Promise!

Satan And Sin Are One! 

Faith And Trust Are One

And

Obedience And Endurance Are One! 

Sin Leads To Sorrow Aka Grief Which 

Is 

The Strong Arm Of Discipline! 

With This In Mind, Beloved

Let Us Respond To The Statement: 

"Whatever You Want

Satan Will Promise!" 

First, Satan Can't Promise You Anything 

If 

You're Not Playing Pat-A-Cake Or Footsy With Him! 

Secondly, By God's Grace

Christians Should Be Too Wise To Be Foolish 

Where Satan Is Concerned 

When The Lord, In Mercy

Taught Us About The Wiles Of That Devil! 

Thirdly, Growing In Grace 

Has Its Own Sorrow, Its Own Griefs

So Why Would Committed Christians Seek Out 

What Can't Raise Us Up To Glory!?! 

Dear Ones, 

The Elders Used To Tell Us:

"See With Your Eyes But Don't Touch!" 

Regarding What Could Cause Us Harm! 

The Good Book Tells Us That 

Only With Our Eyes Shall We Behold 

The Destruction Of The Wicked, Sinful, Unrepentant Ones! 

Why, Then, Would You Want Something From Someone 

Who Is Going Somewhere Decidedly Unpleasant!?! 

Let Us Stay On The Path Of Purity 

Where The Refiner's Fire 

Is 

Getting Rid Of The Rust Of Ruin 

And 

The Dust Of Desolation! 

Satan Can't Give You What He Doesn't Have 

So Don't Cast Your Pearls Before Swine! 

The Promises Of The Living God Are Sure 

Aka "Yea!" And "Amen!" 

Count The Costs 

And 

Let Godly Sorrow Be Your Grace Today! 

Peace! 

HAPPY SABBATH + Trust In The Lord Christ And Not Satan The Thimble-Rigger!

The Devil Is The Liar 

Who Offers Putrid Power And Graveyard Glory 

To The Gullible And All Who Knowingly Choose To Follow Him! 

Beloved, 

Why Would You Ever Want Or Accept A "Gift" 

From A Conniving Spirit Whose Dominion 

Is 

Basically A Bait And Switch Operation 

For The Supposedly Needy

The Known Greedy

And 

The Obviously Seedy!?! 

Since Jesus Christ Is Our Jehovah Nissi

Our BannerUnder Which We Walk 

Fully Knowing His Will 

And 

His Ways For The Way

There Is No Reason For Us To Fall For A Fraud 

From The Fraud, The Fiend

Who Fell From The Faithful Father's Favor! 

Life Is Neither A Beach

Nor A 24/7 Party

Nor An All-You-Can-Eat Back-End Blow-Out Buffet! 

The Truth ... The Living Holy Word

Declares Ebb And Flow

Valley And Mountain-Top Experiences! 

When We Choose To Walk 

Under The Banner That Is Love Divine

Satan And His Cohort Cannot Gull Aka Fool Us 

With Sand Castles, Paper Roses, And Candles In The Wind! 

Our God The Lord ... The King

Is 

Real And Returning To Embrace A People 

Prepared To Meet Him! 

Satan The Condemned And Damned

Is 

Nothing But A Thimble-Rigger

A Confidence Trickster

Who Cannot Deliver What He Winsomely Promises! 

Please Don't Buy Flood Insurance 

As Protection Against The Lake Of Fire! 

Only Jesus Christ Gives Good Gifts By Grace 

To Get Us Home To Glory! 

Be Wise! 

Our Lord Jesus Is With Us! 

Peace!

Law-Abiding, Immoral, Or Amoral!?!

Would You Ask For And Accept Help From 

Someone That You Knew Hated You!?! 

Are You A Commandment Keeper!?! 

Are You Immoral Knowing Right From Wrong 

But 

Maliciously Doing It Anyhow!?! 

Or 

Are You Perhaps Fashionably Amoral

Neither Recognizing Nor Accepting That 

There Should Be Any Law Governing Your Behavior!?! 

Are You Living Out The Word That 

You Are The Light Of The World 

And 

Being That Beam That 

Encourages Others To Walk Safely To Safety!?! 

Are You Living As The Tasty Salt Of The Earth 

Which Generates A Deep Thirst In Others 

Who Are Desiring To Know The Mine Aka The Mind 

From Whence Your Flavor

Your Joy, Peace, Goodness, Sweet Temper

Temperance And Gentleness Comes!?! 

Beloved, 

Satan Hates Our Lord Jesus And, So, He Hates Us: 

Do Not Desire His Dainties Which Are Laced With Death! 

An Amoral And An Immoral Christian Isn't! 

Love For Our Lord Christ 

Commands And Displays Our Obedience! 

Our Lights Brilliantly Shine 

And 

Our Salt-Selves Season! 

Please Let No Created Being 

Encourage You To Long For What Can't Pay 

And 

To Walk On The Path Own-Way! 

Commandment-Keepers Don't Die 

To Then Nash Their Teeth And Wail In Outer Darkness! 

Commandment-Keepers Sleep 

To Rise Up And Reap The Sweets 

Aka Enjoy The Myriad Blessings Of The Living Kingdom! 

Be Wise! 

Peace!

Trust The Living Word: Put Satan On Trial!

Whether We Choose To Believe It Or Not

We Have An Unreliable Narrator In The Person Of Satan

The Devil

The Dragon

The Piercing Serpent Aka The God-Fraud! 

Beloved, 

Be Wise ... For Your Own Self! 

Satan Tells All Willing To Hear Him 

That The Living God Is Unfair

That There Is No Victory Over Sin

That The Lord Will Save All Human Beings

That Dead People Watch Over And Talk To The Living

That Sunday Is Sacred

That Man Is ImmortalThat There Is No Devil And No Hell

And 

That There Is No Need To Grow In Grace 

Because 

We Will Be Sinners Until The Day We Physically Die

And 

That A "Little Creature" Called A Soul 

Jumps Out Of The Then-Dead Body 

And 

Floats Up To Heaven 

To Direct Almighty God's Traffic Up There 

For The Benefit Of The Gullible Down Here! 

Let's Get Real! 

Lucifer Nka Satan Got Thrown Out Of Heaven, For Cause

So He Has A Hidden Agenda! 

The Lord Christ 

Is 

In Heaven 

In The Most Holy Place Of The Heavenly Sanctuary

Interceding For His People

And 

His Plan Of Salvation For Us 

Is 

Open And On Public Display

And 

Is Actively Working! 

Who Are You Going To Believe!?! 

Dear Ones, 

Discovery 

Is 

Always Big Doings In Every Court Case! 

Dare To Put Satan On Trial 

Via The Living Word Of God Your Creator 

And 

See Whose Words And Works Are Reliable Aka Trustworthy! 

The Truth ... Jesus Christ The Lord ... Was Executed 

And 

Still Lives! 

Do The Math! 

Peace!

HAPPY SABBATH + Eternal Implications!

There Are Only Two Concepts That 

Have Eternal Implications For All Mankind! 

These Are Good And Evil 

Aka Salvation And Sin! 

There Are Only Two Leaders: 

The Savior

Aka Our Creator, Redeemer, And Forever Friend

And

Satan The Damned

Aka Our Adversary ... The Destroyer! 

Beloved, 

Sin Comes From Satan 

And

Is Against Us 

And

Will Negatively Impact And Destroy Us 

If

We Do Not Diligently Seek Our Savior Who Is For Us 

And 

Will Cleanse And Purify Us Of Every Sin Aka Defilement! 

Satan Rabidly Encourages People 

To Build Their Own Cities Which Cannot Flourish 

Since They Lack A Food Supply

A Water Supply

A System Of Defence

And 

A No-Toll Road! 

Sin Always Costs!

Jesus Christ Invites Us To Himself As 

He Is 

The Bread Of Life

The Water Of Life

The Rock Of Refuge

Our Strong Tower Aka Our Defence

And 

The Sure Road 

Aka The Only Way To The Eternal City Of The Living, Holy, God! 

Let's Learn The Lesson Taught By Nimrod, The Mighty Hunter

And 

That Abomination Built On 

The Foundation Of Disobedience And Putrid Pride

The Tower Of Babel Aka Confusion!

Going Against The King Of Glory

The Lord Of Life

Is 

Making Yourself A Tasty Treat For King Fraud! 

Be Wise: 

Do Not Let Ungodly Desire 

Become Your Ultimate Destruction! 

Peace!

Recall To Mind!

Remember, Remember, Don't Ever Your Faith Regret

The Lord  Christ Will Never A Faithful Child Forget! 

He Doesn't Forget The Good! 

He Doesn't Forget The Bad! 

Do Good And Good Will Attend You

And 

Over Your Trials Be Glad!

All Things Work For Our Good! 

Jesus Christ Shed Innocent Blood

When On Calvary's Cross He Unwaveringly Stood

So That Satan By Your Worked Faith

Could Be Valiantly Withstood! 

Okay, Class! 

Let's Recap: 

Jesus Saves! 

Mercy Is Free! 

Grace Is Sufficient! 

Don't Fret About Evil-Doers! 

Faith Cannot Fail! 

Hallelujah Is The Highest Praise! 

Obedience Is The Highest Form Of Worship! 

Blessings Await The Faithful! 

Prayer Raises Us Up To God! 

Salvation Came Down! 

Justification Is Instantaneous! 

Sanctification Lasts A Lifetime! 

Sin Is A Reproach To All People! 

Blessed Are The Pure In Heart!

From The Workers Of Iniquity Choose To Depart! 

Wait, Work, Watch: 

Don't Wonder After The Beast!

We Have An Invitation

To Enjoy Jesus Christ's Welcome Home Feast! 

Perfect Peace Is The Gift Of God! 

God Is Our Refuge And Strength! 

The Heavens Declare God's Glory! 

The Good Book Tells The Good News Gospel Story!

Doubters Deny!

Evil Men And Seducers  Will Not To Glory Fly! 

Don't Tempt God! 

There Is No License For Sin! 

Guard Your Heart! 

No Man Can Tame The Tongue! 

There Is No Reason For, Nor Profit In, Pride! 

Grave-Diggers Serve  Grave-Diggers! 

Satan Can't Force You To Sin! 

The Lord Won't Force You To Not Sin! 

Lust Is A Lie Wrapped In A Sinful Desire That Deals Death! 

Beloved, 

The Word Of God Aka The Love Of God 

Works Wonders For The Wise! 

Be Wise! 

Be Humble! 

Be Bold! 

Be Blessed And Be A Blessing! 

Believe The Truth And Love In Deed And In Truth! 

And

Be Confident In Christ! 

In This Is Peace!

Don't Let Satan Piss In Your Pot!

Anger!

Is Anger Eating You 

And 

Is It Causing You To Want To Eat Somebody 

Raw ... Without Salt!?! 

Our Lord Commands Us To Be Angry 

And Not Sin 

Because 

We Are Quite Capable Of Getting Angry 

And

Boldly Sinning 

Without Regard For Either The Cause Of Our Anger

Our Heart's Condition

Or The Real Consequences Of 

Unrestrained, Runaway, Anger! 

Beloved, 

The Statement Has Been Uttered 

When People Have Become Angered That 

"The Blood Rushed Into My Head And I Saw Red!

Others Have Said, After The Fact, That 

"I Lost My Head!" 

Heads Up, People! 

Satan Found It! 

Some People Have Spoken Of Raging Anger As 

"The Devil Pissing In Their Pot And Them Wanting Blood!" 

Still Others Speak About Not Getting Mad 

But 

Getting Even! 

Dear Ones, 

Satan Loves, Loves, Loves This Kind Of Language: 

The Lord Of Life Does Not! 

Let Us Remember That 

Misunderstandings Over Mistakes 

Make Minor Matters Major

And

Man Miserable! 

Think Before You Talk! 

Use Wisdom Before You Walk! 

Apologize Before You Antagonize! 

And 

Pray Before You Prey On Someone 

Or Become Someone's Prey! 

A Moment With Jesus Christ 

Always Saves Your Sanity 

And 

Your Day! 

Peace!

  

Humility Is A Sword And A Shield!

Humility ... Like Faith

Is 

A Shield Of Protection 

And

A Sword Of Defence For The People Of God! 

Beloved, 

If  The Lord Jesus Christ

The Only Begotten Son Of The True And Living God

Humbled Himself Before The Very Ones That He Created 

So That By His Actions 

We All Could Be Blessed And Saved

What In The Name Of All That Is  Holy 

Is Wrong With Us Mere Mortals That 

We Cannot Humble Ourselves And Pray

And Turn From Our Wicked Ways 

So That The Lord Will Hear Our Prayers 

And Forgive Our Sin And Heal Us!?! 

When We Seek The Lord

It Is Guaranteed That We Will Find Him 

If 

We Seek Him With Whole And Humble Hearts! 

What Will We Gain If We Go Before The Lord Of Life 

With A Chip On Our Shoulder 

Or With The Attitude Like High Priest Eli 

Saying, In Essence, That 

The Lord Will Do What He Will Do!?! 

Humble-Pride Is Not A Thing! 

When You Know That You Are In Error

Choose To Bow Your Head  In Humility

Admit Your Guilt

Repent

And

 With Contrite Heart

Make Your Request For Forgiveness 

And 

Receive The Attendant Cleansing! 

Learn From Others  ...

Satan Wouldn't Bow In Humility: 

He Is Guaranteed To Burn With His Foolish Pride Intact! 

With Wisdom 

And 

In True Humility

Let Us Renounce Sin! 

Do Not Be Lifted Up In Pride:

Lift Up The Lord Jesus Christ! 

Peace!  

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Oh, The Pain!

Sin Is A Sexy Siren

Singing A Scintillating Song

Sure To Send The Sinful Skyward

Satisfied With Skirting Around Salvation

Sure To Have Scheming Satan

Salivating That 

Another Soul Would Be His Before Long! 

Desire Is Deceiving

Drawing One Into The Dragon's Dark Domain

Where Deceit, Discord, And Destruction

Are The Deceived One's Reward

His Long-Desired Gain! 

Greed Is A Grip Guaranteed 

To Grind The Glutton

Into Gruel

So That The Gainsayer Satan

Can Joyfully Flush Him Away! 

Beware! Beware! 

Regret Is That Vision Most Cruel! 

"I Feel Your Pain!" 

"No, You Don't! 

"I've Been There!"

"Oh, Please! Get Real! 

Unless We Share The Same Body

You Have No Idea What I've Been Going Through 

So Don't You Dare Tell Me That My Pain Is Nothing

To Deal With It

And With It Get Through!" 

Beloved,

Could You Imagine Telling The Lord That 

His Pain For You Was Nothing 

Compared To What You're Feeling For Yourself!?! 

Can You Imagine Taking Morphine For Your Personally-Felt Pain 

While Minimizing What Our Savior Felt Cold Turkey 

When For Each One Of Us Personally

He Died The First 

And

The Second Death 

To Give Each One Of Us Personally And Individually

The Blessed Gift Of His Everlasting Life!?! 

Pain ... Like Life And Death

Has A Subject And An Object! 

Pain Points To A Problem In You

Which Is A Problem For You

Which Must Be Fixed For You 

Or

In Your Behalf! 

Pain Is A Symptom Of Sin 

Which Corrupted, Corrupts, Mortal Life! 

A Life Of And In Sin Results In Death! 

Jesus Christ Conquered Death To Give Us Life! 

A Life Lived In And For Jesus Christ

Shall See Everlasting Life 

Without Pain, Sin, And Death

So Please Take Our Blessed Jesus All Day, Every Day

And 

Sin Will Not Have Power Over You 

And

Neither Will The Second Death!

Physical Pain Is A Part Of Life! 

How Are You Feeling Today!?! 

Have You Been To Jesus!?! 

Peace! 

Sin Is Fire!

De Fire Burning! 

To Extinguish An Uncontrollable Desire 

Aka Fire

Someone With Control, Ability, Knowledge, And Experience 

Aka CAKE

Ignites A Strategic Fire With The Expectation That 

It Will Extinguish The Old Fire 

And

Itself! 

If Someone Lacking The Knowledge Of 

And 

Experience With Fire 

Lights Fire To Extinguish A Fire

We End Up With Unintended Consequences 

Aka More Destruction 

And

Death! 

Of Course, There Are Pyromaniacs 

Aka Malicious Fire-Setters Amongst Us 

Who Just Love To Kill And Destroy! 

Beloved, 

Sin Is Fire! 

Willing Sinning Is Raging Fire! 

The Supreme Pyromaniac Of This Life 

Is 

Satan: 

His Minions, Those Who Will Encourage Us To Sin

To Set Ablaze Fire In Our Lives

Are The Little Fire-Setters Aka Instigators To Sin! 

Jesus Christ The Righteous

Is 

The Excellent Fire Chief 

Who Gave Of Himself To Save Us All Willing To Be Saved 

By His Holy Hand ... His Life

Through The Cross Upon Which He Was Raised Up 

As The Sinless One Accursed For Us 

Aka Our Only Savior! 

Save Yourself! 

Separate From Sinful-Self

Known Sin

Other Known And Bold Sinners

And 

Satan 

And

Seek The Solution Aka The Savior! 

Out De Fire: 

Kneel At The Cross! 

Peace!

Using The L.O.D.E: Changing Hurry Into Hurray!

When Man-Generated Hope Is Gone

Christ-Gifted Holy Faith Working 

And

Enduring 

Allows Us To Change 

"Please Hurry, Lord!" 

To "Thank You, Lord! Hurray!" 

Beloved, 

Our Depending Upon Self In Matters Of Faith 

Is 

Akin To Running Behind A Fuel-Less, Driver-Less

Engine-Less, Moth-Balled Vehicle! 

It Ain't Going Nowhere And Neither Are We! 

Our God Alive, The Lord Jesus Christ

Is 

The True Strong-Hold

Our Impenetrable Shelter

Our Perfect Refuge 

And

He Gives To Each Of Us 

A Measure Of His Faith Each And Every Day 

To Use To Trust Him At His Eternal Aka Can't-Fail Word! 

Dear Ones, 

The Day That We Truly Understand That Self 

Is 

A Willing Sinner 

And

Accept With Unadulterated Joy That 

Jesus Christ The King 

Is 

Our Only Savior 

Is

The Day That There Shall Be Our Joyful Celebration 

In Recognition Of The Fact That 

It Is Indeed The Mighty God That We Serve! 

All Of Us Who Choose To Trust The Lord 

And

Wait Upon Him 

Shall Surely Renew Our Strength! 

We Will Be Like Those Who

- With Prayer And Supplication With Thanksgiving - 

Will Light The Fire

And 

Place A Pot Of Water On To Simmer 

With The Full Expectation That 

Soon The Ingredients Necessary To Cook A Substantial Meal 

Which Will Do A Body Good 

Shall Surely Appear! 

Remember, Remember

Don't Ever Forget ...

Sinful-Self Is Destructively Used By Satan

But

The Faith-Fuelled Saint Aka Sinner-Saved 

Willingly, Wisely, Serves The Eternal God 

Lovingly, Obediently, Devotedly, And  Enduringly! 

Let Us Daringly Endeavor Today 

To Fully Let Jesus Christ's Gift Of Unfailing Faith 

Lubricate Our Lives! 

Peace!

Need Is Like A Mosquito!

The Day That We Realize That Jesus Christ 

Is 

The Only One Who Can Or Will Have Mercy On Us 

Is 

The Day That We Truly See Our Need Of Our Savior! 

Think Of It As The Difference Between Knowing About Jesus 

And 

Personally Knowing Jesus

And 

The Difference Between A Passing Acquaintance 

And 

Having An Intimate Relationship With The Forever Friend 

Who Is The Creator-God Who Knows Everything About You 

Physically, Emotionally, Mentally, Spiritually

Down To The Atomic Level! 

Beloved, 

We May Pretend That We Do Not Need Anyone 

And That

We Are Able To Do And Be Everything To Our Own Self 

Until Reality ... Bites! 

Reality Doesn't Care If You Are Rich, Poor, Young, Old

Educated, Illiterate, Free, Enslaved, Sick, Well

Prince, Politician, Or Preacher! 

Reality's Weight, Teeth, Talons, Tentacles, And Heels 

Are Always Set To "Hurt!"

But 

The Head, Heart, Hands, And Heels Of Jesus Christ 

Are Always Set To Help And Heal Humans! 

Satan Uses Reality To Harass Us 

And 

Wreak Havok In Our Lives

But 

Our Savior Uses Reality To Bring Us Home To Eternal Life 

And

He Does It With Love, Compassion, Mercy, And Grace 

Which Include Helping Us To Recognize Our Great Need Of 

His Direction, Protection, Correction

Provision, Peace, And Power! 

Remember This ... 

Need Is Like A Mosquito:

You Never Know What It Can Do Until It Hits You! 

Dear Ones, 

We Will Never Know 

What Jesus Christ Can And Will Do For Us Personally 

Until We Recognize, Accept

And 

Act Upon Our Desperate Need Of Him! 

Please Pray About Your Need Now! 

Peace!
