JESUS CHRIST'S CHRISTIANITY: The Two-Fold ... Not Two-Faced ... Life!

Silent Prayer

And

Earnest Work

Live Wisely In The Two-Fold Life!

They Are Living What 
Is 
The Ideal Life Of The Committed Christian

Willingly Redeeming The Time

And

Eagerly Indulging Both Thought And Action!

They Are Living The Life Oft' Rejected 
By Such As Scoff At The Idea That

There Are Such Things As The Mortal Strife

Or The Sin Life

Or The Faith Life

Or The Life Of A Saint Of God And Christ

Or That A Sinner Born And Known

Has "Need" Of Repentance

Has A "Need' To Confess

Has A "Need' Of Forgiveness

And

Get Outta Here

Jesus Christ's Promised Sin-Cleansing!

To Those Unregenerate Minds

One Does Not Clean What One's Illuminated Mind
Does Not Call Dirty!

You Know, Educated, Learned, Man

Can Seriously Act Totally Asinine
With Little To No Provocation!

They Think 
So That Means That They Are Dot Dot Dot! 

I Agree!

I Was Once Of That Peculiar Breed

Who Deftly Chooses Not To Believe

In The Creator ... The Savior

The Redeemer ... The Friend

The Lord, The Eternal God

The Frowning Judge Of All Men!

I Be'n There!

I Done That!

I Walked Like A Fat Rat

Until A Sleek Cat With Sharp Claws

Had Me On My Back

At Which Time ...In Anguish Of Soul

I Cried Unto The Saving God

And

He Being Kind, Faithful And Able

And
Not Holding A Grudge For My Vociferous Neglect 

Sent An Angel Excelling In Strength 

To Free Me ... Really Free Me

From The Jaws ... The Claws Of Imminent Death

As Was The Object ... The Final Solution Of That One Unholy

Who Desires The Worship That Is Reserved For

That Is The Domain Of

The True And Living, Holy, Creator
Savior, Sustainer, Redeemer God!

It's Amazing What Happens 
When One Sees The LightThat Is Only Observable

When One Is In A For-Life Fight

When One Sees That There Is No Way Out

Save By Calling Upon The One Whom ... Prior

We Wittingly, Unwisely, Wayward-Thinking

Chose Boldly To Shamelessly Doubt!

Doubt 

Is 

Dastardly And Dangerous

And

Leads Us Into Temptation

That Sweet Treat ... Distributed By The Devil

Which Causes Us ... Against Christ's Righteousness

Foolishly To Cavil!

I Saw The Ship To Damnation's Sail!

I Saw Myself Looking At The Hangman's Veil!

I Had A Tiger By The Tail

And A Venomous Snake In A Short Pail

And I Was Lighting A Rocket

Even As I Sat Atop It!

Oh, Stop It!

I Kid You Not!

Fright Turns On Flood Lights

Putting Sin's Tattoo In Plain Sight

And

That Light Causes One To Think Fast

And Discern Quick

And

Call In The Now-Acknowledge Creator God 

Who Created Me
And
The Elephant

The Harpy Eagle

And
The Deer Tick!

That Surely Puts Paid To Evolution Right Quick!

I'm Telling You The Truth!
I Didn't Know How To Pray Until I Prayed Then!

I Didn't Recognize That I Was Thinking

Until I Saw What The Thought Produced!

I Didn't See The Need For Earnest Work

Until My Paycheck Was Presented

And

I Didn't Know I Needed The Savior

Until Satan Almost Had Me Completely Marked As 
Prime Meat For His Mortal-Death 
And
Eternal-Damnation Stew!

You, Too!?!

In Distress

I Finally Had Time To Think Of My Creator

His Creation

And

His Gifts To Me ...!

... You Had To Go There!

Did You Really Have To Go There!?!

A Man Can't Kick Against The Pricks

And Remain Comfortable!

Tell Me About It!

Remember The Parable Of Jesus

And That Phrase ...! 

... Occupy Till I Come! 
We Are Not Working For Our Selves!

Note That He Did Not Say

Do What Thrills Your Selfish Heart! 

But He Did Say That

He Is Coming Back! 

The Day Of Small Things! 

Yup!
The Settling Of Final Accounts! 

Brethren, 

Let's Take This To Heart! 

Jesus Christ 
Is 
The Master Who ... Before Going Away
Has Given To Us ...His Servants

Each One Of Us ... Individually

A Pound ... A Talent

To Be Used In His Service 
So That When He Shall Return

He Shall Receive His Investment ... With Usury
Interest
Aka Expected Profit! 

Every Human Being 
Has Received At Least One Talent From Almighty God 
And

We All Have Been Given Time! 

Let's Honestly Answer These Questions:

How Are You Using Your Time!?! 

For What And For Whom 
Are You Using Your God-Given Talents!?! 

I Believe The Answers Will Be Quite Surprising! 

We Are To Occupy ... Work 

Diligently And Conscientiously

Until Jesus Returns! 

Here's Another Set Of Questions 
To Ask Yourself And, Again, Honestly Answer: 

Will You Have A Good Report!?! 

Will The Lord Say To You 

"Well Done, Good And Faithful Servant!" 

Or

"Depart From Me!
I Never Knew You!?!" 

The Christian Life Is Made For Growing ... Gracefully

In The Favor Of The Eternal God

And

Time Is Made For Change

For Us ... Being Enduringly Willing
To Assimilate The Holy Character Of 
Jesus Christ The Lord!

I Sincerely Pray That We

- Made Wise By Bitter, Painful, Experience -

Will Permit The Holy Spirit Of Truth

To Be Our Guide Today ... And Always

As We Choose To Faithfully Bless The Lord 
With Our Time And Talents! 

Talents Used Are Multiplied! 

So, Then, We Are Back At The Point Of Beginning! 

Indeed! 

Silent Prayer ...!

... And Earnest Work! 

It's The Profitable Way To Live

And 
To Get To Eternal Living! 

AMEN!!! 

The Scoffer: Prepare To Meet Jesus Christ The Lord!

Prepare To Meet Thy God!

Which One?!

The Day Of The Lord Comes
As The Thief In The Night
To The Householder Unprepared
Unexpectedly
But
All Who Will Meet Him
With Joy
And
In Peace
Will Have Their Homes
Their Hearts Ready
Fully Equipped
Him
To Meet And Joyously Greet!

To Greet Him In Peace
Is 
Everlasting Sin-Release!

What Release!?!
He's Been Coming Since Adam Was A Lad

And I Was Knee-high To A Grass-Hopper!
Anybody See The Lord Lately?!

The King Is Coming!
Are You Washed And Ready?!
The Judge Is Coming!
Did You Confess And Repent!?!
Is Jesus Christ Your Attorney Of Defense?!

I Don't Need No Attorney!
All Attorneys Are Crooks!

Jesus Christ
Is
Lord And God!
He Is Peace!
He Is Security!
He Is Creator
And
Sustainer-Redeemer Of Mankind
One And All!

I've Old Jimmy Bean For Peace ...!

... I've Got Monsieur LeGlock For Security
And Badboy Ruger Is His Assistant Able!

Men Don't Need Guns!
Men Need The Living God!
Men Need To Recognise Their Need For Christ
And
Leave Off Converse With Satan The Fraud!

There Ain't No Satan!
There Ain't No God!
Your Are Peddling Pixie Dust
With Your Be-All-Things-To-All-Men God!
Now, That Is Fraud!

I Used To Believe
I Used To Love And Trust
And I Asked Him For A Teeny Tiny Paltry Favor
But My Hope Was A Pimple Filled With Putrid Pus!

I Like Your Analogy
And I Ask You Quite Plain:

Did Not Your Bust Pimple
Not Bless You With Gain?!

Huh?! How ...?!

Happens Every Time!

We Don't Get What We Want
And 
We Curse God
When It Is That
He Gives Us What We Need!

You, Me, We
Are All Short-Sighted
And
We Need Need Need
To Trust The Living Eternal Omniscient God
Whose Sight Is Infinite!

You Mean To Tell Me That
All These Years
I've Been In The Wilderness
For Want Of So Simple An Explanation?!

Yes!

Sad And So True!

I Don't Believe
I Can't Believe
That I Actually Turned Against God
Because
I Lacked Wisdom
Was Short Of Understanding
And Couldn't Find True Knowledge!

Shouldn't Have Happened
But It Happens Every Day!

I'd Put That Squarely In The Realm Of
Leaning On Your Own Understanding!

What's The Word, Brethren?!

If Any Of Us Lack Wisdom
Let Us Ask Of God
Who Gives To All Men Liberally
And Upbraided Not!

The Fear Of The Lord Is The Beginning Of Wisdom!

God Shall Bring Every Work Into Judgment

And Every Secret Thing

Be It Good Or Evil!

Friend,
The Living God
Is
Our Refuge And Strength
And
A Very Present Help 
In Time Of Trouble
So, Please
Do Not Trust Your Eyes!
Your Feelings!
Your Lusts!

Man's Heart Is Deceitful!
Man's Way Is Willful!
Man's Thoughts Are Toward Wickedness
But
We Must Trust The Holy God
If
We Will To Walk To The Heavenly Home With The Lord Christ!

We Must Lay Down Self
And
Live Life By Faith And In Faithfulness
And
Never Ever On "Feelings"
If
We Will Be Blessed By The Lord's
Grace, Mercy, Truth, Salvation
And
Ever-Present Faithfulness!

Who Woulda Thunk It?!
A Faithful God!

Jesus Christ The Lord
Our God Almighty
Is
Faithful, Kind, Loving, Giving And True
And
He Is Ready, Willing And Able
To Largely Bless And Eternally Prosper You!

It Surely Seems That Way!
I Know That I'm Going To Be Walking Differently
From This Very Day!

Peace Be Upon You!
Have A Blessed And Grace-Filled Day!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Psalm 1 - KJV - REAL!

I Know From Where I Have Come!
(That's My Documented History) AND
I Have Been About The Living God Taught!
(That's True Doctrine)! I Make Unto Him Humble Supplication!
(That's My Fervent Praying) ANDI Laud His Holy Name
As, Indeed, I Ought!
(That's My Joyful Praise)!

By Way Of Heartfelt Confession
I Give The Gift Of My Sins
To The Eternal Holy God
Who Is My Savior

My Lord, Sovereign!

By Prayerful Petition
I Present My Cares, Sorrows, Griefs And Woes
To The Living God
Who Once Trod This Earth
AND

Who Has Left Us The Good Way
To - In Faith - Mightily Grow!

By Way Of Thanksgiving

For Answered Prayer

AND

Often Just To Share
I Sing In Praise

"The Joyful Hallelujah!"To Him Who Is God Of All
AND
My Beloved King!

AND

Because
In Him
I Know That I Am Saved
Safe
Hedged In
AND
Secure

I Know The Value Of Psalm 1 To My Heart
- My Christian Walk -
For
It Describes The Two Classes Of Humans
Who Will Be Here
At The Time Of The End Of The Earth!

It's Almost Time To Depart!

Juxtaposed ...

I Desire To Be The Man Blessed
That Is ... Happy
AND
Not That Other Who Is Cursed
Who Walks In The Way
- Who Lives The Life Of -
The Ungodly
Who Stands Companiably With Sinners
AND
Sits Comfortably With Scorners
Denying The Creator Of Us All
AND
The Universe!

Apostle Peter ... Wallowing
In The Ungodly Fear Of The Unconverted Heart
Did All This
Denying His Master And Lord
AND
At The Expected Cock's Crowing
- Convicted Of Known Sin -
Wept ... Bitterly!

What Of Me And Thee?!

I Desire To Be Planted In King Jesus
That Known Giver Of Life
Who Is The Free Flowing
River Of Water Of Life!

The Flowing River Of Water Of Life
Gives Life Unto Needy
Thirsting
Me!

The Lord 

Is 

My Known And Heard Shepherd
AND
For His Righteousness
I, Parched
- By Walking Through The Desert Of Sin -
Thirst!

I Desire The Leaves Of My Tree
To Be Ever-Green
Never Stunted
Never Burnt
AND
I Desire Ever Always
To Bear Fruit For My Savior
Readily To Be Seen When He Sees Me
Lush-Leaved
Growing
Planted In My Well-Watered Earth!

I Desire For My Lord

- From The Work Of My Hand -
To Have A Harvest For His Garner
Ready
Whether 30, 60, Or 100-Fold!
I Shall For My Master
Work ... Steady!

I Shall Cultivate My Plot Of Sod!
I Shall Manure It With The Living Word
The Law
The Prophets
Psalms Hymns Spiritual Songs
The Gospels
AND
I Shall Hold On To The Promise Of The Revelation

Though Others May Insult My Humble Faith
AND
Scoffing, Say:

"God" Is An Imaginary Friend

For Grown-Ups!"

BUT, IUnperturbed
Shall Say:

I Am A Child Of The Living God 

And

He Is Real

- Conquering King Real - 

And

I Know That He Is The God Able

And

To Bless Me Abundantly

He Shall Never, Ever, Fail!

Psalm 1 - KJV - 

Is 

Here For Me

AND
To Tell The Salvation Story
To Man Big Or Small

AND
For Believers One And All
Who Choose To Trust The Living Word
AND
Do The Will
AND
To Help Me Not To Known Popular Fables
Captivated ... Fall!

As For Those Who Choose
To Walk In OWN Way
To Do The Deceitful Will Of That Other
Who Chose Wilfully
To Walk In His Own Way
I Must Inform You
That Sin Cannot Profit
Because It Costs
BUT
Does Not Ever Pay
No Matter What Satan May Say
To Prettily Entice You

With His Dark Arts To Play!

From His Devilish Sophistries,
In The Name Of Christ The Righteous

I Beseech You ... Please

With Alacrity
Deliberately

Forcefully
Turn! Turn!
RUN AWAY!

DO YOU RECOGNIZE THAT:

Earth AND Heart

Are Made Of The Same Letters

And

Out Of Earth And Heart

Are Found

Tear, Tare, Hear, Hate, Heat!?!

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

Let's Take Heed To Ourselves:

Hear ... The Loving, Living, Word Of The Lord!

Shed A ... Tear ... Of Contrition

And

Refuse To Be A ... Tare!

Hate ... Sin

And

Depart Unrighteousness

And

We Will Never Feel

Damnation's ... Heat!

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

The Earth Is The Lord's!

Earth Is God's Footstool!

Jesus Christ

IS

Knocking At Our Carnal Heart:

Let's Let Him In!

Jesus Christ Will Give Willing Man

A New Heart!

Let's Ask For It!

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

My Heart

Your Heart

My Portion Of Earth

Your Portion Of Earth

BELONGS

To The Eternal God!

Think About It ... And Pray:

The Day Thou Gavest, Lord

Is Ending!

The Darkness Is Falling

And

Men's Hearts Are Grown Cold

But

You, Our Savior, Redeemer

Creator, Sustainer

Are Ever The Same

Loving, Giving, Blessing

Faithful, True, Holy

Eternal God!

May Your Grace, Lord

Be Ever Sufficient

For Us Believers

In Times Like These!

Keep Our Hearts

In Your Faith

Ever Whole!

In Jesus Christ's Name

We Humbly Pray

And

Willingly Plead!

AMEN.

What God?!

I cringed at The Venom!
My skin crawled at The Sarcasm!
I felt sad at The Fulfillment
Of The Prophecy
Of The Scoffers at The Time of The End.

This was a person so-called intelligent
Better he should be called Satan's tool
For to hear him speaking
Was to hear The Voice of the Bible Fool!

"What God?

There is no God!

My bad!

Soooo Sorry!

You really believe in that Sky God?!

You have got to be stupid

To believe in such a great Fraud!

Since I came along

I have been hearing

 'He is returning!'

'He's Coming!'

'He is on His Way!'

He hasn't come!!

Has he lost his compass?

Doesn't he know the "direction?"

How come he can't find his way here?!

When he comes I will believe in Him!

Until then ... Get out of my way!"

Lord, Jesus!

"He has nothing for us!

We don't want him!

Leave us alone!

Let us just live as we like, and have fun, and play!

There is nothing after this life!

Live!

Eat!

Work!

Play!

Die!

Get out of my face you ignoramus!

Got to play fast for soon we die!"

My heart felt like lead dropping into my stomach!
I felt the hair growing on top of my head!
The fear of Almighty God rose within me
For if I was God he would be lying down dead
For here he was - On God's planet
Drunk ... on the Oxygen The Creator God provides
Living ... off of God's Grace - He pays no compensation
Eating
Sleeping
Walking
Talking
Lying
Decrying
Body Daily Healing
Fate Daily Sealing
Denying
Denigrating
Destitute 
Loving the Sin Card
Living in Lard
Basting
Waiting for the Lake Frying Pan
And himself therein to bake!

He is Food for The Fraud!
I am Fool for God
Who, all through the changing scenes of my life
Has proved Himself germane
To me time, time, and again
And I will not Him now profane!

Oh, Lord, open their eyes

Wash away the dirt and the flies and

The lies that are obscuring their Sight

Give them Bright Light

Before the descent of Final Night

Have Mercy

Pity them

In their plight!

I walked away ... sad
A prayer was all That I had to offer
Lord, let it be enough!

I walked away ... Glad
For it showed
That we are getting
Closer
Closer to Home!

My Lord

I love You!

You truly make my heart glad!

One More Day ...
