Walk The Talk The Walk!

 

The Perfect Love That Our Dear Savior Has For Us 

Will Never Allow Him To Overlook Our Sin 

And 

Permit Us To Indulge In Selfishness And Unkindness! 

Our Growing Love For Our Dear Savior 

Will Never Permit Us To Willingly Practice Sin 

And 

Be Participants In Acts Which Are Decidedly Unholy 

And 

A Straight Departure From His Divine Character Of Grace

Mercy, Goodness, Truth, Gentleness, Kindness

And 

Righteousness! 

Beloved, 

"Christian" Talk Is Cheap! 

Wearing A Christian's Garb 

Is 

Cheap And Convenient! 

"Speaking" The Christian's Language 

By Repeating Buzz-Words 

Does Not Give One Agility 

Or Facility To Treat To The Unexpected 

Or The Unfamiliar 

Or The Curve-Ball Of Catastrophe! 

We Have To Walk The Talk The Walk!

The Lord's Commitment To Our Growth Through Grace 

And 

Our Commitment To Him Through Willing Obedience 

And

The Bold, Even Aggressive, Exercise Of 

Our Daily Gift Of His Faith 

Requires Us To Walk In Accord With His Will 

And 

His Ways 

And

Under His Billowing Banner Of 

Living, Unchanging, Truth! 

Self-Deception Leads To Self-Destruction 

But 

Loving The Living Truth Leads To The Light That 

Is 

The Life Of Every Man! 

We Can't Be Dirty In The Dark! 

Jesus Christ 

Is 

The Lover Of Your Soul 

And

It Is By Him, Alone, That You Are Remade 

To Stand Clean Before The Great White Throne! 

Hold On To Your Blessings: 

Live In ... Live For ... Live Through ... The Truth! 

Peace!

HAPPY SABBATH + CHOICE: Consent + Cooperation

Consent And Cooperation 

Are Words Both Decidedly Delicious 

And 

Damnably Distasteful 

At One And The Same Time! 

If You Are A Committed Christian

Jesus Christ Will Save, Use, And Seal You 

Because 

Of Your Willing, Informed

And 

Free-Will Consent 

And 

Faith-First Cooperation! 

If You Are A Nominal 

Aka NATO Aka No Action Talk Only

Bread 'N Fish Christian

Satan Aka The Accuser Of The Brethren 

And

The Adversary Of Your Soul

Will Gladly Use, Abuse, And Accuse You 

With Your Willing Consent 

And 

Full Cooperation

With The Sworn Intention Of Destroying Your Life! 

If You Follow Satan

You Will Be Condemned, Damned 

And 

Eternally Destroyed By The Judge Of All Flesh

The Lord Christ! 

When You Follow The Lord Christ

You Will Be Temporarily Targeted

Tested, Tried, Tempted

Terrorized And Tortured 

By The Already Condemned, Damned

And 

Waiting To Be Finally, Eternally, Destroyed, Satan 

Who Presently Thrives On Deception, Lies 

And 

Murder! 

Choice 

Is

Consent And Cooperation! 

In The Great Day Of Small Things

Will Your Present Choice See You Rising Up To Glory 

Or 

Ruined And Routed To Hell!?! 

Please Search Your Own Soul 

And 

Seek To Save Yourself: 

Choose The Love 

And 

The Life Of The Lord Jesus Christ 

Who Always Protects 

And 

Provides The Choicest Blessings 

For His Consenting, Cooperating 

And 

Enduringly Trusting And Faithful People! 

Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Be Contented: Don't Self-Destruct!

Why Would You Choose To Destroy Another Person 

Knowing That Their Destruction Ensures Your Own!?! 

This Behavior 

Is 

Satanic 

And 

At Its Center Is Pride

Plus Hatred And Envy 

And 

Idolatrous Fatalism! 

Beloved, 

We Are Christians! 

Jesus Christ Says To Us: 

"Save Yourselves From This Untoward Generation! 

Look To Me, The Author And Finisher Of Your Faith! 

Resist The Devil! 

Bring Your Burden To Me And Leave It There! 

Lean Not On Your Own Understanding! 

Love Truth! 

Hate Lies!"

 

Too Often

Instead Of Looking To Our Jesus 

And

Embracing His Light

And

Assimilating His Holy Character

And

Fighting The Good Fight Of Faith

We Covet What Is Not Ours To Own

And

Greedily Long After That Which 

We Should Never Have In Our Body-Temple Home 

And

End Up Being Less Than What We Are Created To Be 

To Become What The Light Of Day Should Never, Ever, See! 

What The Lord Has Given To You, Enjoy! 

What The Lord Has Promised To You, Anticipate! 

What Is Not Yours To Have And To Hold

Let It Pass You Like A Levite 

And

For It See That You Do Not Cry! 

Almighty God

- Who Has A Thousand Ways To Save You,

Amply, Lovingly, Provides: 

Be Grateful! 

Choose Life: 

Live In, By, And For Love

For ... As Our Lord Has Said:

They Shall Know Us By Our Love One For Another! 

Jesus Christ's Peace

Is

Precious And Perfect! 

HAPPY SABBATH: BUTTONS : Self! ... Self-Destruct! + PRAYER: Father, Grant Us Your Grace!

Self
Selfish
Self-Willed
Self-Serving
Self-Satisfied
AND
Self-Deceived
Are One!
One Family!
One Mistake!
One Matter!
One Mission
Pointing
That One Someone
To Mate
With The Master Of Disaster
To End Up Either
Dead Now
AND
Permanently Dead Later
Eternally Separated From The Holy God
OR
Now
In Traction
Humiliated
Jailed
Disgraced
Shamefaced
Despairing
OR
Legs Or Arms Broken
Encased In Plaster
Spirit Broken
Love Lost
Hope Lost
A Token Of What Is A Lost Life!
It's A Crap Shoot!

All This
Is Caused
Because
Satan Is The Liar
AND
He Loves To Expose Man's Flaws
By Having Them Denigrate God's Laws
AND
He Knows That There Is No Better Way To Do It
Than To Cause Man
To Lift Up Self 
With Satan's Own Original Song:

I Will Be Like ...!

I Will Elevate My ...!

I Will Sit Upon ...!

I Will Ascend ...!

I Will Ascend Also ...!

You Will Note ...

That Nowhere
In This Putrid Soliloquy
Is Ever Uttered Words Like:

"If God Allows ...!"

For The Simple Reason That

Self
Is Its Own God
AND
To That Known
AND
Exposed Fraud Satan
- The Self-Serving One -
Jesus Christ
- The ONLY Begotten Son Of Almighty God -
Was The Usurper!
The Fraud!
This Is Self-Deception At Its Known Best!

I Charge You Today
To Know And Understand That
Self 
Writes Post-Dated Checks
AND
Also Indulges In
Check Kiting!

Self Also Always Borrows
AND
Always Expects
The Human To Pay
Saying Unconcernedly:

"Man's Gotta Pay For His Play!"

Self's Selfish Desires
AND
Self-Centeredness
Lack Self-Control
AND
Lavishly Indulge In
Self-Righteousness
While
Feigning Self-Respect
AND
Ignoring Self-Reflect
All The While Well Knowing
That It Is Best
For Self 
To Destroy
The Self-Made-Man Mirror
AND
Look Toward Man's Maker
While Determinedly Dismissing
Satan
The Benighting Faker!
Don't Deal With Bad Fruit!
Cut Down The Tree!
Destroy The Root!

But ...

Vanity Of Vanities
Self
- Utilizing Lies As Self-Confidence's Working Device
While Its Self-Assurance Is Lacking True Self-Assessment -
Sells
Self
Self-Service On
Choice Bread
Cut Up Like Sliced!
Life May Just Happen!
Choice Does Not!

To Live For Self
By Self
Through Self
In Self
With Self
Because Of Self
Is Silly Unto Sordid
AND
Leads To
Leaving One In
Satanic Captivity!

So ...

STOP
Looking In!
STOP
Looking At!
STOP
Looking Around!
AND
Look Up!
Unto Jesus
Our Author
Our Finisher
The Lord Of All Creation
The Holder Of Man's Shaking Hand
The Sacrificed Lamb
Of
The Save-Man Salvation Plan!

I Beseech You, Dear Ones
Please
Drop Your Plans
AND
Follow God's Plan
AND
Know
Trust 
AND
BELIEVE
That At The Day Appointed
You Will Be
- By Almighty God -
Eternally Elevated
Eternally Saved
Eternally Safe In Heaven
Nevermore To Self A Slave!
Will You Stand Up For Jesus?

If We Are In

God's Service

We Cannot Use The Words

"I Always Put Myself First!"

AND

"God Must Save Me!"

To Make A Good Sentence!

*********

Self-Service

And

Self-Destruct

Always Start

With Self!

*********

Self-Denial Is Elevating!

*********
