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!  

HAPPY SABBATH + CONSEQUENCES: What Are You Crying About!?!

Tears Are A Language

That

The Living God Understands! 

Learn To Lean On Jesus: 

Over-Arching Fears Are What Rule In The Life Of 

The Unregenerated Heart Of Fallen Man! 

Peace Is So Precious 

Because 

We Get It Free At Jesus Christ's Cost 

And

That Is Why It Is A Crying Shame 

When, Through Arrogance And False Pride

Christ's Free-To-All Salvation 

Is 

Summarily Lost! 

Beloved, 

Are You Crying To The Lord

 Before 

You Indulge In Sin 

Or

Are You Crying In Self-Pity 

Because 

You Are Being Forced To  Face The Consequences Of 

Your Sinning!?! 

Are You Of The House 

"I Will Do As I Please!" 

While Forgetting That Pay-Day 

Is 

As When Raw Milk Turns Into Cheese! 

There Is A Start ...

 

Milk, Sterilize, Strain, Rest

Mix, Agonize-Antagonize, Rest

Shape, And Package 

And

Then The Big Finish ...

Ship, Display, Purchase

Open 

And 

Demolish! 

In Between Rest 

And

Rest

There Is Time To Think ... And Be Wise: 

Choose To Change Direction 

Because 

When You Are Between Packaging And Opening 

Your Commitment To The Outcome 

Is 

Already Finalized! 

Please, I Beseech Us All

Think Before You Tear Up 

Or Else You Shall Become A Tare 

Which The Reapers ... God's Holy Angels

Shall Surely Root Up 

To Bundle For The Lord's Wrath

To Thoroughly Burn Up! 

Thoughts Become Words Become Actions 

Which Cannot Be Undone 

So Cry Before You Sin 

So That You Don't Have To Cry To Die 

In The Day Of Chastising! 

Brazen Actions Have Harsh Consequences! 

Pray, Think ... And Pray Before You Play 

Or Else For Your Own Sin 

You, Personally, Shall Surely Pay!

Remember, Sinning Is Expensive: 

Praying In Faith Is Free! 

Cry Unto The Lord For Direction Now, Please! 

Peace!

Never Alone!?!

Selfishness

And

Self-Satisfaction

Are Prominent Members Sitting Proud 
In The Front Row In The Big Church!

They Are Known Churls!

Maledictions At Others They Love To Hurl

And

Their Favorite Expression

Often To Be Heard

Is

"Am I My Brother's Keeper!?!"

To The Flock Of The Living God's Sheep

That They Treat Like A Wandering Wild Goat Herd!

Were You To Hear Them

You Would Be Ashamed

For They Are Self-Serving

And

Do Not The Ways Of The Master Proclaim!

They Lie, Cheat, Steal

Short-Change And Gainsay

And

As For Caring For The Least Of These

The Good Lord's Dear Sheep

They Take The Greatest Pleasure

From Finding Ways

Those Things Designated For Others
Covetously For Themselves To Keep!

They Are Not Ashamed To Smooze

To Get What They Choose
And

They Are Not Ashamed To Beg

Even If What They Want Is Bootleg!

They Have Nothing In Their Character Called Shame
And

The Only Thing That Is Certain 

I Tell You Plain

Is

That Where They Are Going

Is Going To Be Hotta Flames!

Feed My Sheep!

     Feed My Lambs!

These Words Of The Master

To Their Souls Bring No Calm

For Service Requires Sweat

Blood, Love, Consideration

And

Real Tears

And

A Laying Of Burdens

At The Feet Of Him

Who For Our Purchased Souls

Does Sacrificially Care!

They Are All About Self!

Self Is A Known Sinner!
The Sinner Sins
And

Sin Is A Sore On The Soul
And

The Soul Bereft Of The Breath Of Life Is Dead!
These Two Are Playing Dead
To See What Kind Of Turn-Out They Shall Receive!
'Nuff Said!

Entreaties To Righteousness Falling On Their Ears

Leave Them "Feeling" Deaf:

They Chose Not To Hear The Nice Notes

On Either The Treble Or Bass Cleft!
Of Common Christian Decency
They Are Totally Bereft!

These Bold Sinners
Begrudge The Snails And The Slugs
A Walk On The Lord's Free Dirt!

They Forbid Mountain Springs

Free Droplets To Squirt!

They Forbid The Ants

A Fallen Rice Grain To Receive

And

They Cuss Out All Who Dare ... Their Words 

God's Great Goodness ... Free To All

Ever To Receive! 

They Are All About Me, Myself And I!
They Love Anything Call Mine!
They Consider Themselves Close To Divine
And
If They Are Not Being Talked About
Oh, Deary Me, How They Will Whine!

Brethren, Beloved,

I'll Tell You A Lil' Secret!
These Two Miscreants Fear Always To Be Alone!
They Feel Alone!
They Do Not Think To Trust In Him
Who For Their Personal Sins Did Atone
And So
They Walk In Uncertainty
Trusting Weak And Corruptible Self
And
Fearful Always Of Other Men's Malignity!
Methinks They Need New Hearts Not Made Of Stone!

Dish-Out Does Feel Real Good

But

Pay-Back Is A Female Dog!

So Much For Living

Like A Lic'rish

Never-Satisfied

Wide-Mout' Hog!

Here's A Well-Known Secret ...

Things Cannot Satisfy The Soul
Be Ye Coward, Timid Or Bold
So If You Are Feeling
Alone In The Crowd
You May Want To Take A Serious Look
At The Requirements Of Him
Who Shall Come To Earth Again
On The Angel-Cloud!

Look Within ...

We Say That We Follow Jesus 
But 
How Many Of Us Follow Jesus 
And
Always Do Those Things 
Which Always Please The Father 
So That We Are Not Left Alone!?!

Total Obedience To Almighty God 
Is 
A Necessity 
If
We Desire To Enjoy The Benefits 
And 
Reap The Rewards Of The Glorious Kingdom! 

Are You Feeling Alone!?! 
Then Take A Moment ... Or Two
And
Check Your Present Level Of Obedience
Take Corrective Measures
Seek To Please The Holy God In All That You Do 
And Then
You Will Know For Sure That 
You Are Not Alone
And
Do Walk Not Alone! 

The Blessings

Of

The Eternal, Holy, God

Await

The Obedient! 

Strange Work For God!

How Much Faith 

Is In Our Faithfulness?

How Much Faithfulness 

Is In Our Faith?

How Much Love 

Is In Our Happiness?

How Much Happiness 

Is In Our Love?

How Much Hope 

Is In Our Helplessness?

How Much Helplessness 

Is In Our Hope?

How Much Greed 

Is In Our Needfulness?

How Much Needfulness 

Is In Our Greed?

How Much Needfulness

Do We Feed Our Sinfulness

Before Faithlessness Leads To Christlessness

With Lying Satan

Riding Us Like Prize-winning Steeds?

************

"Come Unto Me
All Ye That Labor
AND
Are Heavy-Laden
AND
I Will Give You Rest!"
Is Not An Invitation Carelessly Tossed Out!
It Is An Invitation
To Live In AND For The Lord
AND
At His Returning
Shall He Find Faith
There Will Be The Heavenly Reward
Gloriously Given Out!

It Is Bandied About
By The Faithless Crew
That In Self Is Satisfaction
AND
A Bauble Or Two
BUT
In The Invitation To Rest
Is A Rejection Of The Fun Run
AND
A Willingness To Grinding Servitude
Where
Individuality Is Considered A Bad Attitude!

It Is Also Stated
By Those Who Are To Self
Slaves
That They Want No Part Of The God
Who Sodom And Gomorrah Did Raze
For
In Their Indictment
Of The Creator Of Us All
They Say
That God Made A Defective Creature
AND
As Such
He Is Responsible For Man's Fall!

These Also Rashly Point 
To The End Of All Things
AND
Accuse The Living God
Of Evil Speaking
Bullying
Grandstanding
AND
Threatening 
All Contrary-To-His-Will Men
With Annihilation In Eternal Hell Fire
If They Don't Bow To His Sovereign Will
AND
From Sinning Retire!

These Willful Wanderers
Call The Holy God Mean
AND
Take Pleasure In Unrighteousness
Just To See If
What God Says
Is What God Means!
The Attitude Is Such That Says
That If God Were Really Real
Destruction Would Be Instant
AND
Not To Be Meted Out 
Eternally
In Some Distant Day
AND
For This Very Reason
They Will Do What They Like
AND
Indulge In Abominable Displays
For
Life Is For Good Living
For We Are On The Earth For A Few Short Days
AND
In All This
We Can See Satan's Dirty Hands
AND
His Interpretation Of 
The Holy God's Attributes
AND
Ways!

Eternal Hell Fire Simply Means
No One Will Extinguish It!
It Doesn't Mean
Everlasting Burning
In Inextinguishable Flames!
That, Too
Is One Of Satan's Best Lying Efforts
To Show Man That
Almighty God
Is Like Him
A Sadistic Barbaric Yahoo!

Our Almighty God
Is Loving
Kind
Merciful
Even As He Is 
A God Of Justice, Too!
God Gives Each Man
Will
Way
AND
Opportunity
To Go To The Lord
AND
Say:

Father, I Am From This Day Willingly Following You!


When We Do What We Want
Against Law
Common Sense
Instruction
Direction
AND
Correction
We Pay The Price
BUT
When We Do What The Lord Desires
Letting The Holy Spirit
Be Our Guide
We To Heaven Aspire
AND
We Avoid God's Prepared-For-Unrepentant-Sinners
Hell Fire!

God Offers A Blessing!
God Offers A Curse!
Blessing Or Cursing
It Is Up To Man
To Choose A Verse
In The Hymn
That Is Sung
In The Life Of All Men
AND
It Is Up To Each One
Who Will
Over Him
Say The "Amen!"

God's Blessing ... Blesses!
God's Cursing ... Curses!
AND
None But The Living God
Can A Curse Reverse!

We Are Called To Faithfulness
Truthfulness
Honesty
Obedience
AND
Love
AND
We Are Called To Worship
Honor
AND
Praise
The God Of Heaven
Through Whom We Have Length Of Days
AND
Abiding Heavenly Love That Faith Pays!

We Were Made
For Jesus Christ's Pleasure
AND
In Him We Have Life
AND
We Are Not To Give Unto Satan
Our Blood-Bought Selves
To Be His Stolen Treasure
AND
It Is Time
That We Take His Measure
AND
Mark Him Off
Our Lives Accounted-For-Good
Accounting Ledger!

God Cannot
Will Not
Save Man
In His Known
Relished
Unconfessed
Unrepented Of Sin
AND
Those Who Refuse To Go Humbly To God
Will See God Himself
At The Second Resurrection
- That Of The Filthy
AND
The Unrighteous -
Do A Strange Work
To Clean The Earth
Even Though
It Is Not His Desire
That Anyone
Should Perish!

Think ... Before You Act!

Get The Facts

AND

Walk Right And Holy

AND

Do Not Like Lot's Wife

At Sinning Look Back!

FREEDOM: The Shopping Spree!

I Was Invited To Free-Shop
And Thought To Myself:

Why Not?!

So I Took The Gee Train
To Olde Broadway
AND
Got Off 
At The Last Stop!

I Proceeded To Goode Time's Squared
AND
Joyously Went Wild
AND
For Things Off De Chaine
Hungry
I Shopped Quite A Lot
For A Long While!

Things Were Free
At The Penny Store
AND
At Know Scents
For Two Pounds
Not Dollars And No Cents
I Purchase Three Thrills
AND
Got Four Unwitting Spills
AND
Two Skinned Knees
For Free!

I Got A Giant Bottle Of Own-Way
AND
I Scored A Decanter Of Pay-For-Play
AND
I Had An All-You-Can-Eat
Now And Later Lunch
At Cheap Cash Chews And Forays!

I Danced Up A Storm
At Pop Rocks
AND
Bust A Rhyme
At Speak As Your Heart Is Inclined
Where After
I Fell To The Floor
Bumping My Head
Good And Hard
For Sure At
Go Low Low
AND
Score!

By The End Of My Shopping Spree
I Could Hardly Breathe
For
The Booty I Carried
Had Me Burdened For Sure
BUT
I Had Enjoyed The Excursion
AND
On The Customer Experience Survey
I Ticked Off That I Would Highly Recommend It
AND
Do It Myself Again
At Least
A Couple Couple Times More!

Well ...

Let Me Tell You
On The Way 
To Go Back To My Home
First ... I Couldn't Find The Gee Train
AND
When I Did
It Was Running On The See Line
AND
My Entrance Led Me To The Exit
For All The Common Core
AND
It Butted
AND
Bounded
On Wide Streets Weirdly Called
Hamster Wheel
AND
Perpetual Revolving Door!

By Now ...

I Was Tired
AND
Worried To Boot
AND
When I Reached Rabbit Warren
I Cried Out:

Oh,  Shoot!

For
A Distant Memory
Was Coming To The Fore
AND
At Its Explosion
I Knew I Was In Trouble For Real
For There Was For Me
At This Trying Time
Not A Single Visible
Open Door
AND
I  Became Trembly
AND
Turned Deathly Deathly Pale!

Oh, How I Did Hurt!
My Feet Felt Fat In Thin Man Shoes!
My Sore Eyes Burned Like I Was Salt-Water Swimming!
My Head Was Fair Spinning!
My Back Felt Ready To Break!
AND
My Heart In Fear Was Tripping
AND
My Hands Heavy
Were Surely Scraping The Floor
AND
My Mind In Total Turmoil
Startled
At The Harsh Sound
Of The Quiet Voice
Which
Oh, So Gently Said:

Lose That Load
Or You Will Be Forever Lost!

Who Are You?
Can You Help Me?
I Boarded The Wrong Train, I Think
AND
This Journey Is Proving
In My Nostrils 
To Be A Rank Stench!

I Want To Go Back
To The Beginning!
My Train Was On The Wrong Track
And I Feel Like I Am
Under Attack!

Dear One,
Calm Your Self!
Say A Prayer!
And Hear
And Do
Everything That I Say:

Lose The Load!
It Is Useless
For With It
You Will Never Get To Go Where
There Is Peace At Home!

Tell The Savior You Are Sorry
And Give Unto Him This Worry
And In His Great Compassion
He Will You Safely Carry!

Believe
And In Faith
Walk To The
The-Free Shop
Wherein You Will Find
Blessed Merchandise
From Him Who Is Ever Kind!

There Is

• Quiet Gentle Spirit
• Wisdom
• Knowledge
• Understanding
• Truth
• Light And Life
• Hope
• Help And Healing
• Strength For The Strife!

There's Conviction

• Faith For The Day
• Grace For To Stand
• Strength For Life's Journeys
• Oh Taste And See The Son Of Man
• On The Promises Of God You Will Stand!

And There Are
Blessings 
And
Hid Treasure
When You Walk The Narrow Way
In Obedience
Unto Salvation
And
The Master Is
Just A Prayer Away!

Do You Understand What I Am Saying?

Yes! Yes,  I DO!

Then, Walk Straight Ahead!
Do Not Look Right!
Do Not Look Left!
And
No Matter What Happens Around You
Don't Look Back!
Look Assuredly Ahead!

The Way Is Not Easy
And 
To Arrive Safely
You Must Take The Yoke Easy 
And 
Carry The Burden Light!

You Must Trust The Master
Even When You Can't Trace Him!
You Must Believe And Walk
Knowing That He Will Finish What In You He Started
And
That He Will Carry You Safely
All The Way Home
For
With His Blood And Body
He Purchased 
Precious Redemption
For His Beloved
And
That Means You!

Walk Wise!
Do Good!
Trust!
Obey!
And 
Pray!

There Is No Self In Salvation
For
With It Embraced
You Will Never See
The Everlasting Day!

Thank You!
Bless You!

Was All I Could Say!
I Then Turned Away 
AND
Toward The Savior
Started Walking
AND
I Prayed! How I Prayed!

The Way Is Not Easy
For
Temptations Are Rife
BUT
God's Great Grace Is Every Ready
As I Walk Toward Eternal Life!

Soon The Day Will Be Ended!
Soon Life's Strife Will Be O'er!
Soon The Trumpet Will Be Sounded
AND
By God's Grace
With Endurance
Soon I Will
With All Right
Walk Through
Heaven's Gate Door
Having Overcome
Sin And Satan
In What Was A Blistering Fight!

If Christianity

Was A

Cake-Walk

Life

Would Be Filled 

With

Sweet Treats

And

Christians

Would Have Cavities

Not

Calluses

And

Would Hear Choruses

Not Curses!!

Praise HIM!!

Praise HIM!!

I feel Like calling Him, Jesus

I feel like calling Him, Lord

I trust my soul to His keeping, and

I dwell upon His word!

I feel like calling Him, Savior,

He's my Redeemer, too

He paid the price for my sinning,

I know He's Holy and true!

He keeps me in his tender care

His Holy Angels surround

His Holy Spirit comforts me

Dear Lord! I'm heavenward bound!!

I cannot keep from shouting

I can't help singing His praise

I'm gonna give Him all the glory

For all the rest of my days! **BJC**
