HAPPY SABBATH + Hope Brings Us Joy And Peace!

A Person Without Hope 

Is 

Like A Boat That Won't-Can't Float: 

Both Are Going Down! 

Beloved, 

Look At The Shooting Star! 

Where Is It Going!?! 

Is It Able To Go Back To The Once Appointed Place 

And 

Continue On Its Formerly Appointed Track!?! 

No! 

Can Water Hope To Fall ... Up!?! 

Uhhh, Nope! 

If We Choose To Take Up Our Appointment With The Lord Of Life

We Have Every Reason To Get Up And Git 

Aka Go About Our Master's Business Knowing That 

He Has Already Handled Ours! 

Dear Ones, 

When Our Lives Are In The Master's Hands

We Have ... We Know ... We Do ... We Are ... We Grow 

And

It Shows This Rude, Wild, And Wicked World 

What The Lord Jesus Christ ... The Author Of Hope

Does In The Life Of One Who Calls Him, Creator, Lord, God

King, Redeemer, Friend

Hope

Help 

And

Sure Salvation! 

Jesus Christ Cannot Save What Is Destroyed: 

What Is Destroyed Needs No Savior! 

Remember The Great Flood In Noah's Time!

Remember Sodom And Gomorrah!

Remember, Remember 

Don't Ever Forget ... 

People Will Be Destroyed For Lack Of Knowledge! 

We, As Faithful Christians, Know The Word 

So Let Us Live The Life Of The One Who Calls Us 

To Hope In Him! 

Never, Ever, Forget That 

Hope Brings Us Joy And Peace! 

Jesus Christ ... The Only One Righteous

Is 

Peace ... Our Perfect Peace!

Peace!

Hope In God And

     Obey The Word And

 Pray For Faith To

                    Endure The Testing Time! 

Faith Doesn't Depend On Feeling

Trials Come! 

Is Your Faith In Jesus Christ The Lord Fixed Or Fluid!?! 

Is Your Hope In The Lord Like Solid Rock Or Like Quick Sand!?! 

Is Your Love For The Lord Just For The Loaves And Fishes 

Aka The Gifts And Good Times 

Or Is It For The Saving Truth

The Love That Loved You First

The Love That Will Not Let You Go To Hell In A Hand-Basket 

Without First Giving You A Way To Escape Your Self

Your Sin

Your Shame

Your Sorrow 

And

The Satan Aka The Adversary Always On The Attack!?! 

Beloved, 

Are You Able To Say ... Like Job

"Though The Lord Slay Me, Yet Will I Trust Him!?!" 

And 

With Shadrach, Meshach And Abednego 

While Facing Death In Babylon's Fiery Furnace 

"Whether Our God Saves Us Or Not

We Will Trust Him And Not Worship Falsely!?!" 

Many Of Us Who Are Christians 

Erroneously Believe That Saying 

"Jesus, Jesus!" 

Is 

The Key To The Existence Called

"Fair To Fine No Showers Expected!"  

This Does Not Biblically Compute! 

A Comfortable Existence Never Equals Soul Salvation! 

Ask The Citizens Of Sodom And Gomorrah 

If You Can Find Them! 

Let Us Wise Up 

And

Get Up 

And 

Stand Firm In The Faith That Cannot Fail 

And

Confidently 

And 

Enduringly Say Boldly: 

"The Devil Is The Liar: 

By Almighty God's Great Grace

I Will Walk Faithfully With Jesus Christ My Lord!" 

Say It! 

Believe It! 

Live It! 

Your Eternal Peace Depends On It!

REVIVAL AND REFORMATION: There Are No Shortcuts To The Everlasting Kingdom!

Almighty God Is Love 

And 

He Is Also The God Of Justice:

Love And Justice Are Inextricably Linked! 

Almighty God Is Grace 

And 

He Is Also Mercy, And Truth, And Salvation: 

They Cannot Be Separated 

For, Together, They Make Up His Character! 

Why, Then, Are Preachers, Priests And Pastors 

Telling Hurting Souls To Come To Jesus

Live As You Like ... God Loves You As You Are

Ignore The Bible ... The Preserved, Known-Infallible Word

And 

The Lord Will Take You Home To Glory

No Questions Asked!?! 

Is The Living God A Liar!?! 

Can The Lord Separate Himself From Himself For Us Modernites 

And 

Not For The Pre-Flood Generation 

And 

Those From Sodom And Gomorrah!?! 

Is It Safe To Trust A God Who Is Changeable!?! 

Beloved, 

Think Hard! 

Satan Cannot Go Back To Glory! 

By Jesus Christ's Sacrifice 

And 

Our Father God's Grace 

- Combined With Our Faithful Obedience -

We Are Headed Home 

And 

Satan's Scorched-Earth, No-Survivors-Left Mission 

Is 

To Stop Us From Getting There! 

Dare To See ... And Acknowledge ... Your Peril

Know Your Savior 

And 

Aggressively Resist Your Enemy!

Remember, Remember

Don't Ever Forget ...

 

The Eternal God Glorious Doesn't Change 

But 

We Must 

Or 

We Shall Not See Him In Peace!  

Revival And Reformation 

Is 

The Lot Of The People Of God! 

Dare To And Live Like You Truly Love 

And 

Know That You Belong To Jesus Christ

The King Of Glory! 

There Are No Shortcuts

To The Everlasting Kingdom!

Live For The Lord! 

Be Like Jesus! 

To Live In Jesus' Peace

Is

To Know Joy Forever!

 

Pride! Inordinate Personal Pride!

 

If You Incubate The Sinful Pride Of Satan

You Cannot Have Pride In Christ Jesus

Abiding In Your Person!

Pride Is Pride!

Bite Your Tongue!

Stop Showing Us That You've Been Visiting

Heathens 'R Us

And That You've Picked Up

The Grand Special Of The Day!

Enough Already!

Pride Is Nothing To Joke About!

We're In This Mess 
Because 
A Certain Someone Thought Himself Big Stuff

Bigger Even Than His Maker

And 
He Is All Now Selling His Joy-In-Self Juice

To Men, Women And Children

Be They Rich Or Poor

Free Or Slave

On The Profound Benefits Of

"Promoting Rugged Individualism

And

Directing Personal Elevation!"

Just Like Sin ... Which Pride Is

There Is No Profit In Pride!

Pride Causes Lies!

Lies Cause Hatred!

Hatred Causes Murder!

Murder Leads To Condemnation 

And

Ultimately Eternal Destruction

To Which Pride's Known Instigator

Is 
Ultimately And Currently Headed!

If Pride Does All That

Why Should We Have Pride In Christ Jesus!?!

Note The Different, Brethren:

There Is The Wicked, Self-Serving
Idol-Worshipping, Pride Of Satan

And

Then There Is The Humble, Heartfelt, Worshipful Pride 

That Regenerated Christians
Have In Our Holy God 
And 
Blessed-Forever Creator Jesus Christ The King
Our Faithful, Giving, Forgiving, Blessing Savior And Lord!

Pride Is A Boast
And

We, Christians, Should Justifiably Boast Of Our Lord

Who Is Able To Heal, Seal And Save 

Every Single Human

Past, Present And Future 

Who Chose, Who Is Choosing

And

Who Will Choose The Lord Christ

For Their Eternal Portion!

We Boast Of The Holy One In Whom Is Our Profit!

We Are Creatures

And

We Are Of No Value Outside Of The Lord Christ

In Whom We Live, Breathe, And Have Our Being

Aka Existence!

As The Song-Writer Penned

"We Can't Even Walk Without Jesus Holding Our Hand!"

So, Since Satan Is A Created Being
Just Like Every One Of Us

What's With Him And The Pride Thing!?!

Beloved, That Is Simple:
He Looked At Himself Instead Of At His Creator-God

In Whose Personal Presence He Served

And

He Loved And Preferred What He Saw Of Himself
Instead Of Loving And Preferring Whom He Served

And

He Decided That He Should Be Where His Creator Is Stationed!

That's Stupid!

That's Reality!

Pride Places Its Adherents On The Universe's Throne

And

Prideful Self Arrogantly Refusing To Be Humbled

Demands To Be The Recipient Of The Adulation

Reserved

For ... I'm Repeating Myself

The Eternal, Holy, Loving, Blessing
Forgiving, Known-Almighty, God!

Satan Is A Fraud

- The God-Fraud -

And

As Prophesied 

He Shall Be Brought Down To Hell ...!

... He And All Who Act As He Did ... Does!

Brethren, 

We Need To Consider 
The Cities Of The Eden-Like 
Aka Garden Of God Plains! 

Oh, Dear! 

I Knew You Were Going To Say That! 

Did You Have To Say That!?! 

The Planned Sins Of Pride

Gluttony, Laziness
An Unfeeling Nature

And 

Abominable Sexual Practices 

Led To The Destruction Of Sodom And Gomorrah 
By Almighty God! 

These Same Sins Are Present Within Our Nations Today 

And 

They Must Be Despised 

And 

Condemned By All Those Who Love The Lord Jesus 

And 

Desire To See Our Homelands Prosper And Survive
And
To Receive The Lord In Peace When He Comes Again! 

Sadly, Inevitably
The Ordained Reckoning Is Coming
So Let's Humble Ourselves And Pray

And 

Confess And Turn Away From All Sin Within Ourselves

So That We May Be Blessed And Forever Saved! 

Almighty God Doesn't Play
And He Doesn't Stutter!
He Means Exactly What He Says! 

Almighty God 
Is 
Long-Suffering Toward Us

But

The Great Day Of Small Things

Is

Inexorably Marching Towards Us All! 

Beloved,

We Always Live In Today!
Today Is Dwelling In The Realm Of Time 

And 

Time Is Made For Change!

We Must Act Now 

If 
We Will Make 
And 
Know Peace With Our God! 

Remember,
Godless Pride And Fleeting Time Are Finite Structures
And
Satan-Actuated, Godless Pride Promises 
What Only Almighty God Can Deliver!

Tomorrow Is Promised To No Human!

Noe D. Rain and Lot A. Fire

Fire and Rain
Fire and Rain
Lord have Mercy
Oh, De Pain, and De Shame!

Noe had a "Grandchild"
His Name was Lot
Who lived in Sodom
Among a Disgraceful and Shameless Lot!

Young and Old in That Congregation
Behaved Like Alley Cats
Willing and
Able and
Ready to Break Back!

They Made a Mistake Terrible
On One Fateful Day!
Lot Had Blessed Guests that
He would not let His City Hosts
Violate and Share!

This Turn Of Events
Did Not Sit Well
With Those Licentious Folks
Who Evilly Promised Lot that
That he was going to get his
Back Broke!

Lot had a Gran'daddy
Whose Name was Old Noe
Who, by his Obedience
Condemned Man to no more Sin Sow!

Noe was a Preacher 
Whose one Sermon lasted 120 years
But, as Sin would have it
It fell on Willful Sinners' Deaf Ears!

Marrying The Women
Giving Themselves in Marriage
To Men Like Themselves
They took Repentance Off The Heavenly Table
By telling God what to do to Himself!

Yes, those Cretans did that
Those Made in The Image of God
Who Decided by their Own Actions
That Satan was their god!

They Defiled their Creator
By taking into Themselves
The Fruits of their Wayward Lusts
And Worshiping the god on The Shelf!

They Drank and Cavorted
They Murdered in Spades
They Cursed with Impunity
And Praised Satan in Unity!

If it Felt Good - it was Done
If it Defiled - it was the New Style
If it Dishonored - it was Lauded
The More Heinous The Practice
The More it was Applauded!

Well ...

Like Life
And All Good Stories
Actions Have Consequence
And Punishment
With Finality
Was The End Of Those Who Chose
A Willful Life Of Grossest Depravity!

The Compatriots Of Noe
Told Old Noe "No!"
They Laughed
They Cavorted
And At His Excessively Long Sermon
They Boisterously Snorted!

Noe Called And He Preached
He Finally Did The Ark Of Safety Complete
And Soon
Animals Started Appearing
And Ultimately
The Good God
Closed The Door - BANGGG SHUTTT!!

And Soon ...
Damnation Fell Down
Came Up
And Destroyed All Who Chose
Not To The God Of Heaven
Look Up!

Likewise ...

In Lot's Hometown
Reformation
Was Not Considered A Way
And With The Removal Of Lot's Presence
Flying Damnation Held
Total Sway!

So ...

Let This Be A Lesson
To All Who Would In The Living God Believe!
Almighty God Does Not Play Games
And He Has No Tricks Up 
His Non-existent Sleeve!

The Eternal God States The Case Clear:
Do Good - Have No Fear
Set Aside Idols - Walk In My Way
Come Unto Me - Of Sin Be Penitent
Accept My Salvation And Live Righteous
And Not As A Recalcitrant!

The God Of All Graces Gives Good Gifts!
The All-Knowing God Always Says The Truth
And He Offers Blessings And Cursings
But
Your End Is Up To You!

THE SOUL DOES LAMENT: My Heart Is Fixed!

Ooh, My Heart Is Torn!
My Heart Is Fixed!
My Heart Is Oh, So, Torn!
My Heart IS Fixed!
Ooh, My Heart, My Heart ...!

Okay! You Can Stop Now!

Please, Just Permit Me One More Cry!

Sigh ... Very Well.

Oh, Lord, My Heart, My Heart
Is Torn For My Brethren!
But, Lord,
My Heart, My Heart
Is Fixed On You!

I Have Chosen The Way Of Truth!

You Are The God Holy
My Savior Redeemer Friend
The God Eternal
Maker Of Heaven And Earth
And Us Creatures Called Men
In Our Puffed Up Arrogance
Are Not Satisfied 
With The Daily Dalliance With Disobedience
But Have Gone Over The Pale
And Have Placed You
- The One Living God -
In Equality
With The Useless Manufacturings
Of Devil-Inspired Demon-Possessed

Women And Men!

I Know By Faith That I Can Call Your Name!
You Hear Me!
You See Me!
You Smell Me!
You Feel For Me!
You Touch Me!
You Came Down To My Level
To Mark My Way Up
To Your Lofty Throne!
You Cried ... You Cry Over Me!
You Bled For Me!
You Died For Me!
You Arose From The Dead
So That I May Wear The Righteous Robe
You Are At The Right Hand Of The Father
Interceding For Me And My Kind
And
What Are We Doing
But Exposing The Nakedness Of Our Behinds
Saying We Are Rich
We Are Increased With Goods
We Have Need Of Nothing
Including Your Holy Love
When
We Are Poor, Wretched, Miserable, Blind
And, Indeed
Without Common Shame
- Naked -
Exposed To The World
In The Cross Hairs Of The Damned Devil
Ready To Permanently Bathe In

And Be Consumed By Hot Rocks
From Which There Is No Escaping!

Help Us To Remember
Sodom And Gomorrah
The Dwelling Place Of Righteous Lot
So That We, Too
Do Not Suffer The Eternal Blot!

Lord, Remove From Me 
The Way Of Lying 
And
Grant Unto Me The Gift Of
Love For Thy Law! 
Amen. 

Okay!
I'm Done Now!

Give Me A Hug! 

I Need To Feel God's Love! 

There, There! 

AVAILABLE : God's Free Mercy!

Almighty God's Mercy
Walks A Thorny Path
Slighted By Puffed-Up Men
Who Sniff 
AND
Spit
When She Does Pass!

Uncaring
They Dismiss Her!
Ignorant By Will
From Her They Look Away
Blissfully Unaware
Uncaring
That There Is The Day Coming
When For What Was Available Free 
They Would With Their Sordid Lives
Unfailingly Pay!

Problem Is
Mercy Cannot Be
Begged
Bought
Bartered
Nor Sold!

The Request To Accept God's Gifts
With Blessed Hope And Humility
AND
Not To Live A Life Of Gross Futility!

BUT ...

Sorrowful Is Her Walk Among Men
No Matter Their Ages
AND
Nor Matter Their Stages!

Bitter Is The Taste
Crude Men Leave In Her Mouth!
Burning Are Her Ears
From Crass Imprecation
AND
Blood-Red Her Eyes
From Innumerable Shed Tears!

Dear Ones,
Draw Near
AND
Hear
Her Gentle Voice Calling!
Draw Near - There Is No Need For Fear!
Draw Near
For He Who Sends Her
Is Waiting
To Accept Those Who Answer
Her Quiet Calls
Into His All-Encompassing Care!

Take Heed
AND
Take A Moment To Remember
The People Of Sodom And Gomorrah
Of Biblical Fame
And Note That
Idleness
Fulness Of Bread
Greed For Gain
In A Licentious Domain
Caused All To Perish
In Fiery Conflagration
Because Self
Refused Mercy 
AND
Her Loving Restraints!

God's Mercy
Once Accepted
Has Holds
On What Once Wilful Men
Called Goals!
Willing Acceptance Of
God's Mercy Makes Men
From Sinning Turn Away Cold!

Imbibing Mercy
Renders One Able
To Walk Upright
AND
Clean
Changing Hateful Dispositions
AND
Righting The One Once Vulgar And Obscene
AND
Before God
Rendering The Enemy
Into A Friend
In Whose Ways
God Is Well Pleased!

Mercy Is Our Friend!
Don't Despise Her, I Plead!
Take Hold Upon Mercy
AND
Look Forward To Growing A Bountiful Crop
From The Seed Of The Fruit Of The Holy Spirit
AND
Know
Of A Truth
That Satan And His Minions
Won't You From Getting To Heaven
Be Able To Stop!
