HAPPY SABBATH + Truth AND Faith ... Irretrievably Intertwined!

When You Hear The Truth

And 

Understand What The Truth Means To And For You

If 

There Is In Any Honesty Within Your Heart

You Have No Choice But To Act Judiciously 

Aka With Common-Sense! 

Truth Sets All Sinners Free 

But 

The Only Way To Prove The Truth 

Is 

To Step Out In The Daily-Received Gift Of 

Faith For The Day! 

Beloved, 

Faith And Truth ... Truth And Faith

Are Inextricably Intertwined 

And 

One Without The Other 

Will Not Lead To The Glorious Life Sublime! 

Please Repeat With Nauseating Frequency: 

"There Is No Self In Faith And Truth 

Because

Self Is A Liar 

And

Doubt Is Self's Wisdom Tooth!" 

True Wisdom 

Is 

A Gift From The Lord Of Life 

And

That Wisdom Requires Us 

To Separate Ourselves From Sin, Self

And 

Debilitating, Decimating, Strife! 

Let Us Endeavor Today 

To Give Our Lord Jesus All The Glory 

For His Saving Grace 

And 

Let Us Dare To Work Our Faith 

As We Embrace His Truth 

So That We Will Be Blessed And Saved 

As We Walk With Him 

On The Living, Holy, Strait, Straight Way! 

Truth Lives In Glory: 

Faith Gets You Safely There! 

Peace!

HAPPY SABBATH + UNTOWARD GENERATION: Walk With Wisdom!

At The School Of Jesus Christ

Wisdom Is The Teacher:

Full Ride Scholarships Are Available

To Whosoever Desires To Attend

To Be Taught

And

To Learn!

Almighty God 

Is 

The Only Wise God 

And 

All Who Raise Up Themselves 

As The Sages Of This Untoward Generation

Minus The Indwelling Power

Direction

Teaching 

And 

Correction Of The Holy Spirit 

- Who Leads Us Into All Truth -

Will Find Themselves Hoisted On 

The Very Instrument Of Destruction 

They Seek To Use On Those Of Us 

Who Fundamentally Follow The Holy Word

- The Very Voice Of The Lord Christ - 

With Humble Obedience! 

Beloved, 

Ask The Lord Jesus Christ For Wisdom:

He Will Neither Chastise You

Nor Reject Your Request

But

Will, With Liberality, Furnish Your Need!

Be Warned ...

There Is No Wisdom Without Jesus Christ 

And

There Is No Humility In Stock

Where Pride Scrubs Our Hearts Of Our Fear 

Aka Our Necessary Awe Of Our Lord The King! 

Please Humble Yourself In The Sight Of The Lord 

And

Do Not Let Yourself Be Wooed 

By Known-Satanic Pride And Arrogancy! 

Pride Refuses The Counsels Of Wisdom 

And ... As Such

Causes The Prideful Person 

To Be Unable To Accept Present Truth 

Which In Turn Deprives Them Of 

The Ability To Accept Wisdom's Gift Of Understanding 

To Use Available Knowledge For Present 

And 

Future Benefits! 

Simply Put, Drop Pride

       Bow Before Wisdom Aka Almighty God In Humility

             Accept Godly Knowledge

And 

       Gain Understanding That Eternally Blesses 

And

       Definitely Saves One From Sin 

             And Self 

                    And That Damned Satan! 

Please, I Beseech All

Permit The Lord Christ 

To Raise You Up To His Glory ... In His Time! 

I Encourage You To Choose To Be Taught Of Almighty God! 

Peace!

To Hate Wisdom

Is

To Love Death! 

Bitterness Of Heart!?!

Bitterness In Your Heart 

Is 

Like A Volcano ... Simmering ... Building Strength ...

Finding Stress Points ... Rumbling Warnings ... 

Dribbling Spittle ... Until The Unhinged, Gargantuan Explosion ... 

Which Leads To Self-Immolation 

Aka Self-Destruction 

Aka Death By Self! 

Beloved, 

Bitterness Of Heart 

Is 

One Of The Most Destructive Forces 

Known To Mankind! 

Interestingly Enough

That Bitterness Leads To Destruction 

In Two Disparate Ways! 

Bitterness In The Bold Sinner 

Encourages Them To Embrace Satan's Sophistries 

Aka Lies And Deceit! 

Bitterness In The Heart Longing For The Lord Christ 

Leads The Sinner-Saved To Humble Themselves

And 

Pray

And 

Seek The Lord

And 

Turn From Known Wicked Ways

And 

Choose ... To Cast Their Heavy Burden 

On Their Loving Lord Jesus ... And Leave It There

Because 

They Personally Know That Jesus Christ Loves 

And 

Cares For Them As His Very Own Peculiar Treasure! 

End Result!?! 

With Satan The Adversary: 

Self-Destruction!

Damnation! 

With Jesus Christ The Savior: 

Destruction Of Bitterness 

And

Construction Of The Sweet Spirit

The Gentle Spirit

Against Which There Is No Law 

Aka Heaven In The Heart! 

Think About It! 

Peace Is Precious: 

Peace Be Unto You! 

Sing Unto God!

TORN BETWEEN TWO LOVERS: SIN ... self ... SALVATION

If Your Heart 

Is 

Running On The Fuel Self-Willed

Please Rest Assured That 

You Have Already Surrendered Your Self-Control 

To That Fallen Angel, Lucifer Nka Satan

Who Built His Condemned And Damned Kingdom 

On Self-Righteousness! 

If All The Lights In The Room 

Are Spot-Lights Focused On You 

And

All The Words Spoken Are High-Notes For You 

And 

No Notes For The Surrounding Few

You May Want To Take A Good Look 

In The Only Disclosing Mirror Around 

Aka The Good Book Of Almighty God's Wisdom 

Where Saving Truth 

Is 

Readily Available To Be Found! 

Beloved, 

Be Careful When Your Actions 

Are Niceties And Goodies For You Alone 

And

What's Left Are Groans And Nasties 

For Everybody Else! 

Be Warned ...

Satan Built What Cannot Stand 

By "Destroying" What Cannot Fall 

And

By Way Of Necessary Warning

We Would All Do Well To Wisely Remember That 

Heel-Biters Get Crushed Heads! 

The Dead Can't Kill The Living 

And

The Living Can't Raise The Dead 

So Let's Draw Near To The Savior

- The Only One Who Is The Lord Of Life -

To Fix Us So That By Becoming Righteous As He Is

- By Faith -

We May Inherit His Eternal Life! 

Homework ...

Jesus Christ Saves Sinners From Sin! 

Self Is A Willing Sinner! 

Sin Cannot Cure Itself!

Do The Math: It's Easy! 

Peace!

HAPPY SABBATH + SHIP-WRECK OF FAITH: The Broken Moral Compass

At The Ship-Wreck Of Faith Store

One Is Able To Locate The Broken Moral Compass 

And 

The Husk Of The Unruly Human 

Who Bluntly Refused To Take Ahold Of 

The Master Of The Winds' Outstretched, Holy

And 

Strong Arm Of Unfailing Guidance! 

This State Of Affairs Should Never Be! 

Beloved, 

Don't You Dare Lie! 

You Have A Moral Compass

So Don't Think The Saving Truth To Deny! 

Is Your Moral Compass Working!?! 

Is Your Moral Compass Calibrated Correctly!?! 

Are You Using Your Own Moral Compass 

Or 

Are You Permitting Some Bre'k-Down Merchant 

To Cause You To Follow The Contrary Winds Of 

Doubt, Disbelief, Disobedience

And 

Dastardly Deeds 

Which Lead One To Destruction's Damned Doorway!?! 

Do You Think Before You Do 

Or 

Do You Feel And Fume 

And 

On Some Unfortunate Soul's Only Loaf Of Bread 

Rabidly Chew!?! 

Bread Is The Staff Of Life!

How Are You Benefitted!?! 

Who Are You Benefitting By Your Despicable Deeds 

Which The Lord Jesus Cannot Approve Or Bless!?! 

Think A Thought ...

A Good Moral Compass Guides One Safely 

To The Fore-Known Safe Harbor 

Where Eagerly Anticipated 

And 

Expected Blessings 

Await The Child Who Is Honest, Faithful, Truthful, Kind 

And

Enduringly Obedient To The Master's Ways 

And

Holy Will! 

Beware ... 

Our Greatest Enemy 

Is 

The Pampered Enemy Within

So Please Give All That Concerns You To Christ Jesus 

And

Live To Live With Him ... Forevermore! 

Self Is A Confident Sinner!

Remember, Remember

Don't Ever Forget ...

No Matter How The Gainsayers Sway

And

No Matter What The Naysayers Bray

Good Morals ... Almighty God's Gift To His People

Are Not A Burden! 

Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: CHARACTER: Night-Shade Or Morning Glory!??

Is The Fragrance That You Are Known To Wear 

Of The Night-Shade Variety 

Or Of The Morning Glory Variety!?! 

Is Your Favorite Song Of The Bacchanal Variety 

Or An Encouraging Song Of Zion!?! 

Are You Kind And Helpful To All 

Or Only To Those Who Can Benefit You!?! 

Do You Know That A Negligent Christian 

Is 

As Bad As A Careful Sinner!?! 

Do You Know That You're Responsible 

For The Truth That You Could Have Known 

When You Refuse To Know The Truth That 

Is 

Available To Be Known!?! 

Do You Know That 

You Will Have To Buy All That You Need 

When You Selfishly Choose To Sell All That You Have!?! 

Beloved, 

When You Look Down You See Dirt! 

When You Look Around You See People! 

When You Look Up You See The Lord In Glory! 

The Cross Of Christ Was Planted In Dirt! 

The Outstretched Hands Of Christ 

     On The Accursed Cross Of Calvary 

          Encircled All People! 

When We Look Up To Jesus We Are Healed! 

How Are You Thinking, Walking, Talking, Doing!?! 

Are Your Thoughts Of Self Only 

And 

Your Endeavors To Profit You Wholly And Solely!?! 

If You Desire Blessings Abundant

Please Cheerfully Extend Your Hand To Give! 

If You Prefer To Be Amongst The Cursed

Keep Your Purse Zipped

Your Cupboard Locked

And 

Your Hands Closed: 

Fists Cannot Receive Of The Goodness Of 

The Lord Of Love, Light, And Life! 

Life Is Made For Changing

And 

Living For Jesus Christ The Lord Requires Change! 

Will You Be Amongst The Brave!?! 

Peace Be Upon You!

 

Thought For The Week Ahead:

Never Give Up The Truth!

Never Tolerate Lies!

Never Embrace Wickedness

And 

Always Stand Up With Conviction 

For Our Lord Jesus Christ! 

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

Pray Without Ceasing! 

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

Jesus Christ The King

Is 

Personally Calling You 

So With Godly Fear 

And 

Needful Pleasure

Quickly Open Your Heart's Door!

 

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Choose Humility Over Self!

Self Is So Selfish That 

Self Begrudges Itself Life! 

Self Is So Deluded, Deceived, That 

It Prefers Death

The Grave 

And 

The Consuming Fires Of Hell 

Before It Will Choose To Bow Before

The Lord God Almighty For Worship 

And 

In Humility For Cleansing! 

Self Is As The Horse That Wears Blinders 

Which Permit It To Only See The Chosen Path 

And 

The Desired Prize Ahead! 

Beloved, 

Indulging In Willful Blindness 

Is 

Lawlessness Of The Highest Order! 

Choosing Not To See Truth 

Because 

It Is Not In Line With The "Sweet Sensations" 

Which Your Wicked, Lustful

Wandering Heart Desires To Experience 

Will Not Give You True Life 

And 

Eternal Peace And Prosperity! 

We Are All Selfish By Nature 

But 

We May All Be Saved 

By Energetically Seeking Our Savior 

Who Came To Seek And Save Us

His Lost Sheep And Lambs! 

The First Step To Salvation 

Is 

Acknowledging That Self Is A Sinner

And 

Confessing Sin And Repenting From That Sin! 

Repentance 

Is 

A Sincere Aka Heartfelt Sorry 

With A Determined Removal Of The Blinders To Truth 

To Be Able To See Sin In All Of Its Ugliness 

And

Pledging ... By Almighty God's Great Grace

To Never Commit That Sin Again! 

Help Is Available Here And Now: 

Confidently Reach For The Holy Hand That 

Is 

Lovingly Reaching Out To You! 

For The Love Of Jesus Christ The Lord

Humble Yourself Now! 

Peace! 

What Is The Name Of Your Conscience!?!

How Often Have You Heard The Warning: 

"Let Your Conscience Be Your Guide!?!" 

This Warning Can Be A Very Sniffy Proposition 

When There Are Eight Types Of Conscience Mentioned 

In The Scriptures Of Truth: 

Four Are Good 

And 

Four Are Not! 

Our Elders Regularly Spoke About Persons 

Who Had The Dead Conscience 

As Those Who Are Capable Of 

And

Willing To Do Anything! 

They Also Spoke About 

Having The Good Conscience 

Which Permits One To Rest Peacefully At Night! 

Beloved, 

There Are Many Amongst Us Who Have 

Weak

Evil

Defiled 

And 

Seared Aka Dead Consciences: 

May The Lord ... Through His Saving Grace

Have Mercy Upon Them 

Since There Is Nothing That 

Is 

Of Human Strength Or Devising That 

Can Fix What Is Ailing Them! 

Be Ye Warned ...

Beware Of The Counsels Of 

Those Who Count The Word Of The Living God 

A Cheap 

And 

Unclean Thing! 

In Faith, I Sincerely Pray For Us All That 

We Will Each Have The Conscience That 

Is 

Altogether Good

Pure

Purged 

And 

Void Aka Empty Of Offense! 

Let Us Choose This Day 

To Remember To Depend Upon The Word Of God 

For Guidance 

And 

For Correction 

So That We ... And Our Consciences 

Will Be Safe From Self And Sin: 

A Dead Aka Seared Conscience 

Is Not 

Participant In The Godly Life 

And

Is Given Over To Rampant Wickedness! 

Please Let The Voice Of Almighty God 

Be Your Companion And Guide Today! 

Peace!

HAPPY SABBATH + Put Your Hand In The Hand!

When One Is Accustomed To Living In Bold Sin

It Is Difficult Indeed To Change Direction 

And

Live Right 

Under The Light Of Life That Shines Brightly 

Exposing The Dark Rooms Which Are Within Our Hearts! 

It Is Even More Difficult To Stay In Sin 

When You Know The Living Truth That 

Saves Your Soul From The Prophesied 

And 

Certain Ruin Aka Damnation And Hell! 

Beloved, 

Dare To Fight Against Sin ... Not Salvation! 

Dare To Fight Against Self ... Not The Savior! 

Dare To Walk In The Light 

And 

Not Walk In The Shadows 

Where The Whispers Are Loud

The Scents Are Overwhelming

The Sensations Are Overpowering

And 

Resistance Is Non-Existent! 

Please Remember That You Are Not Alone 

When You Choose To Daily, Faithfully

Enduringly Walk Wisely Before The Lord Christ 

Who Is The God Who Performs ... The Impossible! 

When We Place Unyielding Faith 

And 

Trust In Our Lord

Looking To Him Alone To Bless

To Provide, Correct And Protect

To Teach And Uplift

To Lead And Feed

To Carry And Comfort

To Hold And Help

To Save And Seal

We Will ... At The Appointed Time 

After Test And Trial

Safely Arrive At The Heavenly Home! 

Please Keep Your Eyes Fixed And Focused 

On The Holy Jesus 

And

Your Hand In The Hand Whereon Your Name 

Is 

Inscribed! 

You Are Loved: 

Believe It 

And 

Be Blessed Today! 

Peace!

THUS SAITH THE LORD: Consider Your Ways!?!

Our Lord Is The God Of Order: 

There Is No Waste In Order! 

Now, Then, Let Us Ponder The Fact That 

When The Lord Repeats Himself

It Is Important For Us To Heed What He Saying

To Take Firm Note Of Where He Is Pointing 

And 

Seek To Ascertain What His Word Personally Means 

To Us Individually! 

Beloved, 

When The Lord Twice Says: 

"Consider Your Ways!" 

It Is Because There Is Something Within Our Character

- Our Projected Behavior -

That Is Off-Center 

And Thus 

Displeasing In The Sight Of Our Lord Jesus Christ 

Who Is The Judge Of The Living And The Dead! 

Take The Inward Look ...

How Are You Standing!?! 

What Are You Doing!?! 

What Is It That You Are Doing That You Should Not!?! 

What Is It That You Are Neglecting That You Should Not!?!

 

What Wayward Thought Is Motivating Your Actions!?! 

Are You Bearing A Heavy Load Of Sin 

Because 

You Believe Your Sin Is Unforgivable!?! 

Dare To Remember This: 

Almighty God ... By Name And By Nature 

Is 

Able! 

Almighty God's Grace 

Is 

Greater Than Our Sin! 

Whatever Almighty God Asks You To Do

Almighty God Equips You To Accomplish! 

Brethren, Beloved,

With Prayer To Almighty God

I Sincerely Beseech Us All

Don't Fight Jesus Christ The Lord Aka The Truth: 

Fight Satan, Self, And Sin! 

Please Obey The Eternal, Living, Holy, Word

Trust The Sovereign Will Of The All-Knowing God

And 

Enduringly Walk In The Wise Way That 

The Lord Jesus Has Shown 

And 

Is Lovingly Showing You! 

Bend To The Living God's Will: 

Don't Burn For Walking In Sinful Ways! 

Think About It

And

Dare To Be Saved:

Truth Is A Sword

An Impregnable Shield

An Always-Warm Blanket

A Very Comfortable Bed

A Sea-Worthy Ship

A Calm Sea

A Sure Anchor 

And 

A Safe Harbor! 

Truth Is Jesus Christ The Lord

Who Is Food Indeed 

And 

Drink Indeed! 

We Are Immeasurably Blessed 

So Let Us Be Enduringly Bold 

And 

Stand Up Fearlessly For Jesus Christ Our King

And 

Against That Liar, Satan Bold And Damned! 

Please Let Jesus Christ ... By The Holy Spirit Of Truth

Help You To Fix What Is Wrong In Your Life

Because

Nothing Is Impossible For Him!

Jesus Christ Saves The Willing-To-Be Saved! 

Consider Your Ways

And

Be Wise!

Get Rid Of Satan's Secret Sauce!

 

Babylon

Is

Synonymous

With

Sin

False Worship

And

Confusion!

Achan Wouldn't Take "Don't!" For The Warning! 

Beloved, 

No Matter Who We Say That We Are

No Matter How Much Money And Influence We Have

No Matter What We Believe That We Are Entitled To

We Cannot Have Anything And Everything That 

We Desire From Whomsoever 

And 

Wheresoever We Desire It 

When We Desire It! 

This Is Called Life 101: 

Get Accustomed To It! 

Wisely Choose To Pass This Necessary Life 101 Class 

And 

Make Life Easy For Yourself 

And 

For Everyone Else Who Has Already Grown Up!

The Lord, In His All-Knowing Mercy

Says "No! And "Don't!" 

To Our Selfish Desires And Requests 

And

Uses Them As Warnings 

Because 

He Knows That 

If We're Left To Our Own Destructive Tendencies

We Would Destroy Ourselves 

And 

Many Others ... As Did Achan! 

When Our Creator, Savior, And Redeemer Speaks 

And

We, Self-Deceived, Deliberately And Dynamically Disobey

Guaranteed Consequences We Will Not Like Will Follow! 

Precious Gifts From God ...

All Proper Parents Teach Our Children That 

That "I Deserve It!" Ugly Attitude Ain't Going To Fly 

And

Help Them To Understand That 

"No!" And "Don't!" Mean Exactly That! 

This Unacceptable Behavior In Children 

Is 

Seriously Despised In Adults 

Who Should Possess Wisdom, Understanding 

And

Self-Control! 

Please Consider The End Of Cain, Achan

Prophet Balaam

King Saul

Prince Adonijah And His Brother Prince Absalom

And 

Step Away From Satan's Secret Sauce Called Self! 

"Noah" To Sin Built The Ark Of Safety: 

Get Aboard 

And 

Live! 

Obey The Lord 

And 

Prosper! 

Peace!

Don't Be Covetous!

Reject

Babylon's Goodly Garments!

Contented ... in Christ Jesus!

Are You Contented Aka Pleased 

With What You Already Have!?! 

Are You Contented With 

And 

In The Lord Christ!?! 

It Is One Thing To Be Contented

And

Quite Another To Think That 

You Did "It" All By Yourself

And

Vainly Glory In Your Accomplishments!

Beloved, 

No Committed Christian 

Should So Depart From The Righteous Way 

And

Become So Proud Of Themselves 

To Dare Take The Glory Of The Lord Unto Themselves 

So That The Lord Must Humble Them 

And

Cause Them To Be Contented To Eat Grass For A Season 

In Order For Them To See The Light Of Saving Truth! 

Arrogant, Proud 

And

Pompously Foolish King Nebuchadnezzar Of Babylon 

Learned This Lesson The Hard Way! 

There Is Contentment 

And

There Is Contentment In Christ! 

There Is Having Satisfaction With Myself 

And

There Is Satisfaction In Ridding Me Of Self! 

Little With Contentment 

Is 

Of Great Gain When We Acknowledge That 

It Is The Living God Who Ever So Graciously Provides 

Every Last Thing That We Call Our Own! 

Like Everything Else In The Christian

We Have The Authority

The Freewill

The Freedom 

To Daily Decide ... By Almighty God's Great Grace

To Be Contented With What The Lord  ... In Love 

Has Graciously Provided

Be It Little Or Much! 

There Is No Profit In Baseless Pride!

Let Us From This Moment On Say 

"Thank You, Lord!" 

And

Glory In The Lord Of Life

Even As We Determine To Be Contented

With What The Lord Daily Provides For Us 

Since Our Provider 

Is 

Our Maker ... The Creator! 

Our Provider Is Also Our Hope, Help, And Salvation

Redeemer

Judge, Lord, God

And 

Forever Faithful Friend ... The Kind King: 

Rest Where The Lord Our Shepherd Gently Leads! 

To Be Contented In Christ

Is

To Have Perfect Peace!
