VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Moving Train Wreck!

Psalm 51:10 KJV

Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me. 

Colly!?! 

Yes, Binky! 

Colly, Have You Ever Seen A Moving Train-Wreck!?! 

Who Hasn't!?! 

We See Those Ever So Often On The Idiot Box! 

No, Colly! Not That Kind! 

I Didn't Know That There Was Any Other Kind, Binky! 

Well, Colly, My Friend, I Am Presently Watching A Moving Train-Wreck 

And When It Finally Hits The Restraining Wall

Somebody's Gizzard Goin' Splash Out 

And Their Guts Is Goin' Be Garters! 

Gracious, Binky, What Channel Is That On!?! 

Colly, You Ain't Listening Real Well! 

Pay Attention! 

If You Have Ever Had The Great Misfortune Of 

Having To Interact With Someone 

Who Takes Perverse Pleasure In Doing Evil

And You Have Been On The Receiving End Of 

Their Practiced Wickedness

And They Don't Seem To Care That 

There Are Witnesses To Their Machinations

And You Can Safely Project How Their "Adventure" 

Is Surely Going To End

Believe Me, It Will Cure You Of 

Ever Wanting To Be A Co-Laborer With Satan 

And Will Send You Running To The Safety That Is 

The Arms Of Our King Jesus! 

Merciful Powers! 

That Doesn't Sound Very Pleasant, Binky! 

It Wasn't And It Isn't! 

I Have Seen Some Things That Have Had Me Questioning 

If I Have Ever Had An Attitude, A Persona, Like That 

At Any Point In My Life For Even A Single Moment

And I Asked The Lord To Forgive Me 

If I Have Ever Been Like That! 

I Can Imagine, Binky! 

No, You Can't, Colly! 

Seeing Someone Behave Like That 

Is Like Watching A Snake Uncoil

Like Having A Bird's Eye View, A Drone View

And Watching A Car, A Truck, A Train 

About To Be Wrecked Big-Time 

And Knowing That There Is Absolutely Nothing That 

Anyone Can Do Avert It! 

It Makes You Sick To Your Stomach 

Unless You Are That Side-Winder, Satan

Who Encourages People To Sin Against Their Own Souls! 

Binky, You're Making My Skin Crawl 

Just Painting That Word-Picture For My Mind's Eye To Behold! 

What Are Doing About It!?! 

I Am Praying For That Person, For Myself

And For The Brethren

And For All Who Will Be The Ultimate Inheritors Of 

Almighty God's Free To All Salvation! 

Lord Jesus, 

Please Keep Us Near Your Cross 

Else We Will Never Escape The Disaster Up Ahead! 

Help Us To Pray Without Ceasing

And To Choose To Suffer Hurt Before We Will Ever Sin! 

Please Protect Us From The Evil One 

And Bless Us To Keep Our Savior First, Last, And Always 

In Our Thoughts, Words, And Deeds! 

AMEN!!! 

Help Us, Lord! Help Us! 

Grant Us Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Our Free-Will Can't Be Breached!

 

We Should Know By Now That 

We Sin By Thought, Word, And Deed! 

Hear The Excuses! 

We Sin Because The Devil Made Us Do It: 

He Didn't! 

We Sin Because The Lord Didn't Stop Us: 

He Does Not Breach Our Free-Will! 

We Sin Because We Felt Like It

Or We Really, Really Wanted Our Fleshly Desire Made Whole 

Or We Couldn't Find A Good Reason Not To Sin: 

We Didn't Look In The Right Place! 

Beloved, 

Have You For One Itty-Bitty Moment Considered That 

Our God, The Eternal, Sees And Records Everything That 

We Think, Say, And Do

And That It Is In Our Best Interests 

To Recognize, Accept, And Honorably

Wisely, Righteously, Act Upon The Knowledge That 

We May Escape Detection By The Earthly Judge But That 

We Will Not Under Any Circumstance 

Escape The All-Knowing, Ever-Present, All-Seeing, Eternal God

He From Whom No One Can Hide!?! 

Dear One, 

I-Feel, I-Must, I-Can, And I-Will Are Interesting Characters 

Who Can Be Used For Good Or Ill In Our Lives! 

When We Choose To Feed Them On The Good News

I-Feel Will Be Saying 

"I Feel The Presence Of The Lord!" 

I-Must Will Be Saying 

"I Must Tell Jesus All Of My Troubles!" 

I-Can Will Not Act Like Achan 

But, Instead, Will Be Saying 

"I Can Do All Right Things 

Through Christ Who Strengthens Me!" 

And

I-Will Will Be Praying Without Ceasing 

And 

Giving Thanks To The Lord For All Things ... Even The Fiery Trials ... 

Because 

We Know That We Are Not Alone! 

Let Jesus Christ Be Praised! 

Brethren Beloved, 

Your Adversary, The Devil, Satan The Damned

Wants You Dead And Damned: 

Roundly, Firmly, Aggressively Reject His Overtures 

By The Word That Works 

Aka "Thus Saith The Lord!" 

Our Advocate The Creator

Our Savior The Redeemer

Our Lord Blessed Forever

Wants Us To Live Forever 

So Please Dare And Choose Life In Christ 

And 

You Will Never, Ever, Have The Opportunity 

To Visit The Land Called Regret! 

Peace! 

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Open Our Eyes, Lord!

 

The Lord Jesus Christ Is Trying To Help Us 

To Abundantly Live In Him Now

And 

Then Eternally With Him! 

We Must Choose To Cooperate With Him 

Through The Holy Spirit 

Who Leads Us Into All Truth! 

Brethren, 

All That He Is Asking Of Us 

Is 

That We Accept The Draught From Heaven's Bottle Of 

Easily Digestible Loving Kindness, Blessing, And Grace! 

Truth Being Always Told

We Are Choosing, Instead, To Self-Cure

Self-Comfort And Self-Control 

By Ill-Advisedly Imbibing From The Rancid Cask Of 

Do-Me Willful Human Blindness 

Which Carries No Spiritual Nourishment 

But 

Is Filled To Overflowing With The Empty Calories Of Lawlessness ... Of Sin

Which Makes Us Fat And Easy To Overcome 

By Our Adversary, The Devil, Satan The Damned! 

Beloved, 

There Will Be No Fools

Aka No One Who Says That There Is No God

In The Lord's Living Kingdom Of Light! 

Since We Actively Say To All That We Believe That 

The Lord Can Do A Great Thing For Us Here And Now

Should We Not, Here And Now, Show Our Faith And Trust 

By Willingly Doing What The Lord Is Asking Us To Do 

To Truly Help Ourselves!?! 

Dear Ones, 

The One-Mile Walk To Surpassing Glory 

Starts With Our First Step Toward Jesus Christ, Our Only Savior! 

Salvation Is Free 

But

All Potential Recipients 

Must Willingly Accept The Package 

And

Eagerly Open It 

And

Wisely Use The Gift: 

This Is Self-Service Only! 

Brethren Beloved, 

Please Remember 

And

Never Forget That Man-Wrought Salvation 

Is 

The Devil's Only Delight 

Because 

It Leads To Man's Sure Damnation! 

Please Let Jesus Christ Aka The Great Physician

The Prince Of Peace

Fix And Heal You By His Saving Grace! 

Pray Fervently ... And Touch Your King 

Who Was Touched To Save You! 

Peace! 

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Our Position In The Race For Life!

 

I Need To Utter A Deep, Deep, Sigh! 

Siiiighhhh ...

Brethren, Beloved, 

Listen Unto Me! 

We Have A Choice To Make: 

To Be Free To Sin 

Or To Be Free From Sin! 

We Have To Choose Between Friends, Family, Foes And The Fiend 

And 

The Father, The Maker Of Us All! 

Brethren, 

We Need To Get Back To That Time Which Was Before 

Our Inglorious Fall

Before The Silken Ties Of Affection

The Lust Of The Flesh

The Lust Of The Eye

And 

The Pride Of Life 

Dictated Our Walking

Our Speaking

And 

Our Position In The Race For Life! 

Dear Ones, 

Consider And Know This Thing: 

If You Know That Someone Is Digging A Grave For You

Don't, Don't, Do Not Give Them A Shovel Or An Excavator! 

If They Are Seeking To Bury You

Do Not Give Them The Dirt! 

Beloved, 

We Must Stand Up And Be Counted 

As Faithful To The Father 

Against Friends, Family, Foes, And 

The Damned-Forever Fiend 

And

We Should Hold To The Adage Which Says:

 

"Do Not Light Yourself On Fire

To Keep Somebody Else Warm!" 

The Way Of The Cross

The Strait And Narrow Way

The Way To Glory

Is Not 

Perfect Peaches

Perpetual Puppies And Kittens

And 

Unarmed Roses! 

Peaches Have Hidden Rot

Puppies And Kittens Become Elderly Dogs And Cats

And 

Roses Have Thorns And Attract Bees! 

The Point Is That 

Earthly, Earthy, Supposed Comfort Of Your Mind And For Your Body 

Costs You Something Now ... And Then Forever 

But

Heavenly Comfort Costs You The Earth Now 

But Gives You, Pays You, Forever Forever! 

The Choice, Our Choice, Is Clear: 

Jesus For Joy! 

Peace! 

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: There's A Thing ...!

KJV Proverbs 14:34

34 Righteousness exalteth a nation: but sin is a reproach to any people.

When You Were A Silly Child

Do You Remember You Or Your Mates Pelting 

Aka Throwing "Rock-Stones" On The Ground, At Walls

At Anything Convenient

And, Perhaps

Having That Rock-Stone Fly Back At You, Or One Of Your Mates Real Hard 

And 

Smack The Snot Out Of Them!?! 

It Was Shocking And It Hurt So, So, Soo, Badly! 

Sin Does That! 

Dear Ones, 

Just Like A Tongue

No One Can Control Sin To Decide What It Does Or Who It Affects

Be It A Little Or A Whole Lot! 

Consider The Sewer Line! 

Everybody Takes It For Granted

Walking Around On Top Of It Unconcernedly

Uncaring, Unaware, Unimpressed, Unbothered 

Until That Sewer Line Backs Up And Belches 

Then Everybody An' 'e Bruddah Done Know What And Where It Is 

And 

What It Does

And 

Who It Affects 

And

Demands Release And Relief 

From Its Cruel Control By Stench! 

Beloved, 

Don't, Don't, Please Do Not Fool Yourself Into Believing That 

Sin Can't Do You Anything 

Because 

You Have It On A Short Leash! 

Old Cossie Had De Mule On A Short Leash 

And

It Still Kicked The Black Off Him! 

You've Been Warned! 

Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Indulgence And Expectation Are Strange Bedfellows!

KJV Romans 11:33

33 O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past finding out!

It's Amazing! 

We Indulge In Our Putrid Pleasures And 

Then Have The Expectation That 

The Prince Of Peace Will Quickly, Instantly

Relieve Us Of The Predicted Pain Of Prophesied Punishment! 

How!?! 

Why!?! 

Indulgence And Expectation Are Very Strange Bedfellows! 

We Unleash Indulgence With The Expectation Of Joy, Pleasure

But 

If You Noticed

We Have Not Appended The Necessary Adjective

The Vital Descriptive Of Warning 

Which Should Be Screaming At Us Free-Will, Free-Choice, Big Spenders! 

Dear Ones, 

Remember This! 

Just Because You Are Free To Do Anything

It Does Not Mean That You Should Choose To Unleash Indulgence! 

Have You No Knowledge Of "Act In Haste ... Of Wanton Desire

And 

Repent At Leisure ... With Sorrowing, Painful Regret!?! 

Beloved, 

Be Warned! 

Doing What You Want Means 

Paying What You Can't Afford ... After A Little While! 

The Length, The Duration, Of The Little While 

Is

Ever In The Lord's Hands

His Timing

His Will

His Way 

And

There Is No Created Being That Can Tell Him "No!" 

Brethren, 

One Thing Is Certain! 

If What We Choose To Indulge Is Under The Lord's Prohibition

His "Thou Shalt Not!" 

We Can All Rest Assured That 

We Will Undoubtedly Suffer The Prophesied Curse Of 

Guaranteed Punishment! 

Conversely, The Lord's "Do As I Have Commanded You!" 

Results In His Prophesied Blessings At Home And Abroad

Of Peace In Him 

And 

Rest With Him! 

I Encourage Us All To Rabidly Reject 

Damned Satan's "Do What Thou Wilt 

Aka Do What Pleases You!" 

And

Joyfully Accept The Lord's Easy Yolk And Light Burden 

Which Lead To Heavenly Joys ... Forevermore! 

We Can't Beat God's Giving 

So Choose To Enjoy The Lord 

And 

His Ways Always And In All Ways! 

Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Fair Exchange!?!

KJV Zechariah 3:4

4 And he answered and spake unto those that stood before him, saying, Take away the filthy garments from him. And unto him he said, Behold, I have caused thine iniquity to pass from thee, and I will clothe thee with change of raiment.

Fair Exchange Is Not Robbery! How, In The Name Of Him Who Is Holy, Can There Be A Fair Exchange When I Gave You Rocks That Are Diamonds And You Gave Me Rocks That Are, Errrm, Rocks!?! Don't Talk To Me About That! That Is A You-Problem! Ohhh, I See! My Bad! I Forgot, Just For A Moment, That We Were Demonstrating The Jesus And Sinner, Salvation And Sin, Savior And Saint Thing! Oh, Goodie! We Are All Caught Up! Beloved, Have You Ever Considered What It Is That Jesus Christ Has Done And Is Doing For Us When He Says "Come Unto Me All Ye That Labor And Are Heavy Laden And I Will Give You Rest!?!" Aren't You Heavy Laden With Sin!?! Isn't Jesus Christ Swapping Out Your Sin And Replacing It With His Rest As In His Perfect Peace!?! Didn't Your Sin Kill Jesus!?! Doesn't His Rest Give You Everlasting Life!?! With That Said, Dear One, Why Would You Not Give All Of Your Sin To Jesus Instead Of Crucifying Him Afresh When You Turn Back To The Flesh-Pots Sitting Down To Eat And Getting Up To Play!?! Do You Not Understand That When Jesus Christ As Savior, Surety, Redeemer, Lord, God, King, And Friend Takes Your Rocks - Which Are Of Life-Extinguishing Weight - And Gives You His Diamonds Of The First Water Aka The Fruit Of His Holy Spirit, That You Are Acquiring All Gain And Thus, Suffering No Loss!?! Beloved, Every Thing That You Give Up For And To Our Lord Jesus Is Replaced By An Imperishable Good And Perfect Gift For Which There Is No Comparison! Come Now! Since Jesus Considers Your Temporal Give-Ups As Fair Exchange For His Eternal Give-To's, Does It Not Become You To Be Wise Unto Salvation For Your Own Self, And Go All In For The Eternal Win!?! Please Don't Be Faithless But Be Faithful, Trusting Him Who Cannot Lie To Give You The New Life Which Cannot Die! Believe The Promise Of The Living Word And Accept What You Cannot Lose But Can Be Thrown Away Through Doubt And Disobedience! Please, In The Name Of The Holy Jesus, Give Up Your Fig Leaves! Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Secure Attachment!

KJV Ephesians 5:31

31 For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh.

Safe, Seen, Soothed, And Secure! 

These Four S's Of Marriage Aka Secure Attachment 

Are Or Should Be Of Intense Interest And Careful Study 

To All Committed Christians! 

Beloved, 

Did Not Jesus Call The Church His Bride 

And

Are We Not Espoused To Him As Our One Husband!?! 

We Are Safe In The Arms Of Jesus! 

We Are The Apple Of His Eye

And 

He Is The All-Seeing God! 

We Have As Our Comforter 

The Holy Spirit As A Gift From Our Savior 

Who Promises Never To Leave Us Or Forsake Us 

And

We Are Ever Welcome To Approach The Throne Of Grace Boldly 

To Obtain Mercy 

And

Grace To Help In Our Time Of Need! 

We Are Secure In The Care Of The King Who Died To Save Us 

And 

Lives To Make Intercession For Us 

And 

Is Returning To Take Us Home To His Father And Our Father's House 

Where We, Immortalized And Incorruptible, Will Live Eternally

Free From Self And Sin! 

Dear Ones, 

Dare And Choose To Display Your Marriage Certificate: 

Open Your King James Bible ... And Pray And Read ... And Enjoy To The Max! 

Peace! 

HAPPY SABBATH BLESSINGS AND BOUNTIES!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: The Recyclers!

KJV Jeremiah 2:19

19 Thine own wickedness shall correct thee, and thy backslidings shall reprove thee: know therefore and see that it is an evil thing and bitter, that thou hast forsaken the LORD thy God, and that my fear is not in thee, saith the Lord GOD of hosts.

Sighhh .... 

It Never Seems To End! 

We Backslide From Following The Saving Truth 

And 

Soon We Find Ourselves To Be The Official Recipients Of Chastisement! 

Oh, The Pain! 

With Truly Sorrowing Hearts

We Willingly Confess Our Folly

Our Sins

Our Transgressions

Our Iniquities

And 

Our God, The True And Living Holy God

With The Heart Of Love

Having Compassion

Hears Our Heartfelt Prayers And Plaintive Cries

And 

Works For Us Our Only Means Of Deliverance! 

But ... Do We Learn Anything From Our Recent 

Known Unpleasant Experience!?! 

Oh, No! 

That Would Be Too, Too, Tooooo Easy! 

So What Do We Do Instead!?! 

We Rinse ... And Repeat! 

We Act Like Like Those Who

- By Their Own Wisdom, In Their Own Strength - 

Would Save Themselves, Would Save The Earth: 

We Recycle! 

Oh, Lord, Have Mercy On Us Your Wayward Children! 

Brethren Beloved, 

If We Keep Doing The Same Things 

Whilst Expecting A Different Response

It Is Called Madness: 

There Will Not Be Any Mad 

Aka Boiled-Brain Persons 

In The Living Kingdom Of God! 

Dear Ones, 

Let Us Be Wise For Our Own Selves 

- Having Asked The Lord To Give Us Of His Wisdom - 

So That We Do Not Walk As The Worldly-Wise 

Whose Wisdom Is Foolishness To The God Of Glory! 

In The Land Of The Godly 

The Only Wise God Is King! 

In The Land Of The Ungodly

Satan, The Forever Damned, Is The Accursed King! 

Beloved, 

Rinsed And Recycled Sin Is Still Sin

Backsliding And Chastisement Still Cause Pain

Confession Still Places Us In The Land Of Regret

And 

Restoration Of Deliverance Will Still And Forever 

Come From The Hand Of The All-Knowing

Ever-Present, Forgiving God! 

Please, I Beseech Us All

Let Us Choose To Walk In The Light Of Life 

For The Love Of Jesus Christ The Lord! 

Let Us By Grace Through Faith 

Live And Love To Do Right! 

Peace!

The Law Of The Lord Is Our Hedge!

KJV Psalms 119

1 Blessed are the undefiled in the way, who walk in the law of the LORD.

2 Blessed are they that keep his testimonies, and that seek him with the whole heart.

The Law Of The LORD

The Hedge Of Protection For His People

Is 

Perfect 

And 

Converts The Soul To The Ways Of Righteousness! 

We Must Do Right! 

The Testimonies Of The Lord

A Sure, Can't-Fail, Word

Makes Us Wise Unto Our Own Soul's Salvation! 

There Is No One Who Confidently Takes Jesus Christ At His Word

His Testimony

The Truth That Cannot Fail

Who Will Remain In The Darkness Of Sin

Choosing The Foolish Man's Way That Leads To Destruction! 

Beloved, 

To Know Jesus Is To Have Peace! 

To Follow In His Way Is To Find Rest! To Believe Aka Hear The Word 

And

Do The Will In Faith And With Endurance Until Life Shall End 

Is

To See Jesus In Peace

And 

Enjoy Life On The Golden Shore! 

Dear Ones, 

The Word, The Testimony Of The Lord Is Our Strong Tower: 

Run Into It

Walk Back And Forth Through Its Pages

Take Heed

And 

Be Eternally Blessed! 

Jesus Christ, Alone, Is Our Peace! 

HAPPY SABBATH BLESSINGS AND BOUNTIES!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Rally Around The Lord Christ's Cross!

Brethren, 

I Don't Know About You

But 

I Have Noticed That Active, Willing, Sinning 

Is 

Now "The Thing!" 

There Is The Apparent And Obvious Trend 

Toward Letting Your Flag Of Personal Desire Aka Choice Sin 

Be Joyfully Waved And Flown High! 

Dear Ones, 

This Thing Should Alarm Us All 

And 

Should Also Cause All Of Us 

- Who Have Chosen Jesus Christ As Our Everlasting Portion -

To Be Humble And Hopeful Outliers 

- Not Out And Proud Liars - 

Who Distinctively Sound The Battle Cry Of Salvation 

And

The Invitation To The Welcome Home Feast For Christ's Faithful! 

Let Us Sow Seeds For Salvation With Our Lord And Savior 

Instead Of Scattering Seeds Of Self And Sin 

With And For That Serpent, Satan! 

Please Remember, Dear Ones, That 

Jesus Christ Creates 

But 

Satan The Damned Destroys 

And

Dare To Help Our Listing Brethren 

To See What Accepting The Gospel Of Grace 

Gains For Them In Almighty God's Glory! 

We May Cry Now In This Dark Night Of Sin 

But

All Of Christ's Faithful Will Eternally Enjoy Joy In His Presence 

In The Everlasting Morning In His Kingdom Of Light 

Because 

There Is No Night There! 

Be Wise For Yourself: 

Do Not Make Peace With Sin! 

Let Us Valiantly Choose To Make Peace With Peace! 

Peace Be Upon You Aka Jesus Christ Be With You! 

 

  

Vespers At The End Of The Sabbath: Give "It" A Name!

 

Mark The Word: 

Without The Law

There Can Be No Sin!

 

Beloved, 

Think On This Thing:

In Order For A Problem To Be Fixed

It Must Have A Name! 

In The Normal Run Of Things

Someone Must Bear Responsibility For Having The Problem

Causing The Problem

Or Fixing The Problem! 

And

Problems Only Get Fixed 

When Blame And Shame Fall Upon Someone's Shoulders! 

Dear Ones, 

In The Realm Of Unnamed Problems

Nameless Is Blameless And, Therefore, Shameless 

As In Having No Need To Bow The Head Or The Knee! 

Brethren Beloved, 

We Who Diligently And Lovingly

Faithfully And Enduringly Serve The Lord Jesus Christ

Please Let Us Not Walk In The Vaunted Wisdom Of The Worldly-Wise 

Which Is As Foolishness In The Eyes Of The Only Wise God 

Who Reigns And Rules In The Orderly And Eternal Glorious Kingdom! 

Let Us Choose

- By Grace Through Faith That Works By Love 

And 

Purifies The Soul - 

To Identify The Problem Areas In Our Lives 

By The Infallible Word

And 

With Shame-Facedness 

Boldly Carry Them To The Throne Of Grace 

To Him, Innocent, Who Took The Blame For Us 

So That We, In Brokenness And Contrition, Could Walk Free! 

Let Us Let Our Jesus Place Our Problems Aka Our Sins 

Upon That Scape-Goat Satan 

Which Is Where They Belong 

Because Of 

Our Humble Confession, For Love Of Jesus

And 

Heart-Felt Repentance, For Life With Christ! 

Names Have Meaning! 

Remember That Anything That Does Not Bless Curses 

And

Anything That Does Not Save Destroys! 

Please Let Your Strong Desire Be For The Lord! 

Jesus Christ Saves! 

Peace! 

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Nobody Has To Sin!

 

Jesus Saves Us From The Penalty Of Sin Aka Justification 

And

He Saves Us From The Power Of Sin Aka Sanctification! 

Our Greatest Enemy 

Is 

The One From Within! 

Think About It! 

We Love To Say That Somebody Is Pushing Our Buttons 

So We Are Free To Respond However We Personally Choose! 

If That's Your Story, Stick To It 

Or

Follow The Savior And Choose To Overcome Evil With Good! 

Beloved, 

Textbook Abusers ... Like Satan Their Master

Love To Lash Out And Say That You Made Them Do Whatever! 

Hold Up! 

Consider That We Who Are On The Receiving End Of Their Vitriol 

Will Respond And Say That They Made Us Respond 

However, Whenever, Wherever, Because! 

Consider This! 

When People Know What Triggers Your Behavior

They Will Load Your Weapon For You 

And 

Entice, "Force," Or Bedevil You To Pull The Trigger! 

Dear Ones, 

We Who Chose - And Every Day Choose - Jesus Christ 

As Our Everlasting Portion

Think Salvation 

And

Choose Life! 

Let Us Choose To Disappoint The Evil-Doers 

And 

Deliberately Walk On The Rocky Road 

Aka The Strait And Always Narrow Way! 

Life Is Tough ... When We Follow Our Jesus By Faith

But

We Are Not Alone! 

We Overcome By The Blood Of The Lamb 

And

The Unfailing "It Is Written!" 

The Word Of The Lord 

Is 

A Sharp Sword And A Comfortable Bed 

And

It Is Either Or Or Both 

At One And The Same Time! 

We Have Choice: 

Look In Or Look Up! 

What Is Your Decision!?! 

Sin For Short-Term Satisfaction 

Or Salvation By Grace Through Faith For Everlasting Life!?! 

Our Lord And Savior Jesus Unfailingly Saves The Willing! 

Save Yourself By Letting The Savior Save You! 

Peace! 

HAPPY SABBATH + Generally Recognized As Safe!?!

 

Here A GRAS, There A GRAS! 

Everywhere A GRAS, GRAS! 

Old Mcdonald Lost His Shirt And His Farm

And 

It's Time That Everybody Knows Why! 

Dearly Beloved, 

We Are Gathered Here Today 

To Consign GRAS To The Underground Staff! 

GRAS Ain't Your Brother Nor Your Sister! 

He Ain't Your Friend Nor Your Family

And 

It's For Certain Sure That He Does Not Have 

Your Best Interests Coddled In The Cockles Of His "Heart!" 

GRAS Has Long Fooled Us All That 

He Is A Blessing 

When In Truth And In Fact 

He Ain't Nothing But A Blight On The Butt Of All Mankind 

From The Cradle To The Grave 

And 

We Are Putting Him In His Grave Today! 

GRAS Aka Generally Recognized As Safe

Makes Things Stronger

Look Whiter, Brighter

Taste Better

And 

Last Longer! 

Think, People

And 

Look At The Detritus Of Your Life 

And 

Recognize How GRAS Wrapped Himself Around 

And 

Jumped Into All That Was Biblically And Historically Known As 

Sin And Darkness And Death 

And 

Made Them Salvation And Light And Life 

And 

We, All, Trusting Man-Science And Guru-Gospel

Because

We Despised Our Peculiarities 

As People Of The Living Book Of Truth Of Jesus Christ

Tried 

To Reinvent Ourselves 

To Be Relevant To The Worldly-Wise 

Who, Unrepentant, Shall Never Reach To Heights Unknown! 

Lord Jesus,

We Repent! 

GRAS, Generally Recognized As Safe You Are Not! 

Dear Lord, 

Please Grant Us Your Grace

To Walk Aright On The Path Of Light 

That Is The Word Of Truth 

Neither Adding Nor Subtracting

To Be Attractive To Those 

Whom You Cannot Approve! 

GRAS, Hell Is Not Too Good For You: 

Burn Well! 

Brethren, 

Be At Peace With Our God, Jesus Christ The Lord, The Almighty: 

He, Alone, Saves! 

Peace! 

HAPPY SABBATH

BLESSINGS AND BOUNTIES!

Folly Ain't Fun: Think On Jesus Christ Who Ever Thinks Of You!

Dead In Sin And Trespasses! 

Too Proud To Change!?! 

What A State Of Affairs! 

You Can't Help Yourself 

But 

You Are Making Sure To Keep The One Who Can Out Of Fix-Me Range! 

Did You Know That A Dove Is Called Silly 

Because 

It Sometimes Flies Without A Cause!?! 

Did You Know That Sinners Don't Know Where They Are Going 

But 

Proudly State That They Are Going There In Style!?! 

Consider That You, And Me Too, Were Once In Hard Bondage In Egypt 

Where Denying Knowledge Of The Holy God 

And 

The Practice Of Idol-Worship Were Considered Big Doings 

And 

The Lord God Almighty Brought You Out By The Power Of His Might 

And 

Called You His People 

And

When You Were Established, Strong And Fat And Happy

You Adopted The Vile Habits Of Your Neighbors 

Which Habits The Lord Condemned! 

When Certain Of Your Wicked And Idolatrous Neighbors 

Sought To Make War With You

Would You Ignore Your Own Known-Holy Loving Faithful God 

And 

Seek "Help" From Your Former Slave-Master, Egypt

Instead Of Swallowing Your Pride

Admitting Your Error

And 

Acknowledging Your Shame

Stop Your Useless Silly-Dove Flights Of Fancy Or Fantasy Flights 

And

With A Broken, Contrite Heart

Humble Yourself And Pray

Confessing And Repenting Of Your Known And Bold Sin!?! 

Beloved, 

Folly Ain't Fun! 

What Tastes Good In The Mouth 

And 

Pleasurably Slides Down The Throat 

Can Be Silk In And Brambles Out

Oil In And Jagged Rocks Out! 

How About Choosing To Give Your Sin And Your Satan To The Savior 

So That Your Only Savior, Jesus Christ The Lord 

May Secure You With His Salvation!?! 

Let Us Choose To Lose Our Useless Pride 

And 

In The Lord Of Life Confide And Abide! 

Peace!

HAPPY SABBATH + Refuse To Be Refuse!

 

Jesus Christ, The One Holy And Therefore Righteous

The God Wise And Therefore Just

The Forever Friend Who Is Therefore Faithful

Our Only Savior And Thus The Truth

Our Creator-God And Only Redeemer

Calls Us To His Side Via Confession And Repentance Of Sin! 

The Call Of Jesus Christ Gives Us Hope

And 

Our Walk With Jesus To The Father's House Of Joy And Peace 

In The Glorious Kingdom 

Is 

A Transformative One 

Because 

It Is Sanctifying ... Setting Us Apart

Changing Us Throughout Our Lives

For His Holy Use! 

Beloved, 

Since We Are Warned To Test The Spirits

And 

Also Cautioned About The Other Jesus 

And 

That Other Gospel

The Question Must Be Boldly Asked And Honestly Answered: 

"Is The Life That You Are Leading 

With The One You Call Savior, Lord, And God

Transforming You From A Sinner Bound For Hell 

Into A Saint Bound For Almighty God's Glory 

... Or ... 

Are You Being Affirmed

- Made Comfortable - 

In Your Cherished And Very Satisfying-To-The-Sense Sin

And 

Are Being Bamboozled Into Being A Self-Satisfied Fat Frog In Cold Water 

Scented With All Your Chosen Aromatics Of Forbidden Pleasure

In An Always Deep Pasta Pot Over A Gentle Flame!?!" 

Dear Ones, 

Never Follow The Prevailing Winds Of Change 

Nor The Always-Wrong Multitude! 

Do Not Move The Old Landmarks 

To Make Your Desired Building Fit Your Coveted Landscape! 

Stand In And For 

The Uncomfortable But Needful, Necessary Transformative Grace Of God 

And 

Refuse To Be Made Refuse 

By The Trendy Affirmative Action Of The Accuser Of The Brethren

The Adversary Of Souls 

Who Has No Good Place To Call Home 

And

Has Your Eternal Destruction 

As His Soon-To-Be-Obliterated-Life Goal! 

Remember, Remember

Don't Ever Forget ... 

Low Riders Don't Like High Roads! 

Affirming Sin Aids In Self-Destruction! 

Be Transformed By The Renewing Of Your Mind! 

Walk With The Lord Jesus In The Light Of Life ... In Truth! 

Peace! 

HAPPY SABBATH + GOBs ... From Almighty God!

I Don't Know About You

But I Have Come To Realize That Every Day That I Live And Breathe 

Is 

A Day From The Eternal God 

Which Is Filled With GOBs Aka Gifts, Opportunities, And Blessings! 

Why Do I Say This!?! 

Because It Is A Fact Out Of The Preserved Holy Writ 

And

A Real Matter Of Honest Christian Perspective! 

Dear Ones, 

This Is The Day That The Lord Has Made 

So Let Us Rejoice 

And

Be Glad In It 

No Matter What Comes Your Way: 

We Are Not Alone! 

I'm Certain That We All Constantly Hear Our Brethren

- In And Outside Of The Holy Faith - 

Boldly Say: 

"My Alarm Clock Woke Me! 

The Children Woke Me Up!" 

I Invite You To Carry A Screaming Alarm-Clock 

And

A Rambunctious Gaggle Of Sugared-Up Children 

Into That Quiet Place 

And 

Let Them Do The Dog 

And 

See If Anybody Gets Up! 

Beloved, 

Secular And Specious Speech 

In The Mouth Of A Saint Of God And Christ 

Must Surely Be A Sin Against Sense And Sanity! 

Please Be Wise For Your Own Self! 

Isn't Our High Priest Jesus Christ The Lord

The King

The Creator-God

And 

Isn't it By His Name 

And 

Through His Power That 

We Make Our Profession!?! 

Aren't All Good And Perfect Gifts, Opportunities, And Blessings 

From Our Lord ... The King Of Glory!?! 

Isn't Our Gift Of Life From The Creator-God!?! 

Shouldn't We Be Glad For Our Opportunity To Be Saved

To Live A Sinless Life Through Christ

And 

To Be Redeemed When The Trumpet Of The Lord Shall Sound!?! 

Gratitude Is A Grace

So Let Us Give Thanks And Praise To Our God Most High! 

Life In And With The Lord Of Life 

Is 

Ever Always Infinitely Blessed And Gloriously Beautiful! 

Peace!
