COMPLETE THE TRANSACTION: Cooperate With The Lord Christ!



Even Though Jesus Christ Paid 
The Full And Final Price For Our Souls' Salvation
There Is Something That Each Of Us Must Do
To Complete The Transaction! 

Beloved, 

An Unopened Gift 
Is 
Just A Present Present! 

An Opened But Unutilized Gift 
Is 
A Dust-Catcher 
Because 
It Makes You Work But Pays No Salary! 

An Opened And Utilized Gift That 
Is 
Despised, Disparaged, And Discounted 
Will Ultimately Be Discarded 
And
That Person Who Acts So Disrespectfully 
Towards Almighty God's Good And Perfect Gifts 
Will, On The Day Appointed, Be Destroyed! 

Dear Ones, 

Let's Back-Up To Go Forward! 

The Lord Always Gives Us A Part To Play 
In The Receipt Of Our Own Blessing: 
Ask ... To Receive
Obey ... And Be Blessed
Be Perfect ... As Your Father In Heaven Is Perfect
Turn Ye ... At My Reproof! 

When We Ask The Lord To Lead Us
We Are Informing The Lord That 
We Are Willing To Follow Where He Leads! 

When The Lord Says 
"Come Unto Me All Ye That Labor ... And I Will Give You Rest ...!" 
It Is Because He Has What We Need 
And
Our Recognizing 
And
Accepting This 
Gives Us Wings, Energy, Desire To Reach Out 
And 
Touch The Living God 
Who Hears Our Cries
Heals Our Hurts 
And 
Blesses Us In And For Our Belief In Him! 

There Is No Profit In Useless Pride 
And 
No Benefit In Base Behavior! 

Please Wisely Accept The Gift Of Grace Gratefully:
Cooperate With Christ! 

Peace!

Don't Indulge The Mentality Of The "Heard!"



There Is A Road Called The Way Home 
Which Is Divided Into Three Parts! 

If The Blessed-Forever Children Of The True And Living God 
Stay In The Middle Of The Road
They Will Be Confidently Walking In The Truth Of Him Who 
Is 
The Word Of God
The Open Door! 

If We Stray To The Right Of Center
We Will Find And Will Be Following Contradiction 
And 
Be Tied Up In Satan's "Nots" 
Which Are Only Severable By The Sword Of The Savior 
Aka The Word Who Is The Truth! 

If We Stray To The Left Of Center
We Will Be Found To Be Following Error 
Aka "Truth" With Black Dots 
Which Says A Lot Of Nothing And Gives Most People The Hots! 

Beloved, 

Are You On The Road!?! 

Do You Know What You Are Following, And Why!?! 

Which Do You Love
Or Are In Love With
Or Are Excited By 
And
Are With Conviction Sharing: 
Truth, Error, Or Contradiction!?! 

Would It Even Bother You If You Found Out That 
You Are Not Now Following The Truth!?! 

Dear Ones, 

The Holy Spirit 
Is 
Available And Ever Ready To Lead Us
Lead You
Lead Me
Into All Truth ... No Gaps! 

Let Us This Day Choose To Be Wise For Our Selves
For Our Own Soul's Salvation
And 
Let The Holy Spirit Do His Saving Work In And On Us! 

Don't Indulge The Mentality Of The "Heard:"
Know The Truth 
And 
Do What Is Right! 
The Eternity Of Peace Is Up Ahead! 

Peace!

Humble Service And Sound Sleep Are Synonymous!




We Are Not Born For Worldly Greatness 
Nor Placed On This Earth To Be Served! 
Did Not Our Lord Jesus Say That 
He Did Not Come To Be Served But To Serve!?! 

Beloved, 

If The Creator God
The King Of Earth And Glory
Our Savior, Redeemer, And Forever Friend
He Who Causes Us To Be Because He Is
Humbly Served His Own  Creation During His Earthly Sojourn 
And
Is Even Now In The Most Holy Place Of The Heavenly Sanctuary 
Working
Making Intercession For Us 
So That We, Cleansed
May Return To The Father's House Of Amazing Love
Why, Why, Why Are We Becoming So Self-Centered 
And 
Self-Serving To Demand That 
Others Serve Us Like They Are Napkins 
Good Only For Using And Refusing!?! 

Dear Ones, 

Never, Ever, Mistake 
Willing Service In The King's Camp 
For Forced Servitude In The Devil's Dungeon! 

The Lord Of Life Asks:

"Whom Shall We Send And Who Will Go For Us!?!" 

Will You Answer The Call To Service 
Or Will You Insist On Being Served 
To The Detriment Of Your Own Soul!?! 

The Proud Are Never Satisfied With What They Are Served! 

Humble Service 
Is 
Ground For Sound Sleep! 
Let's Joyfully Serve Our King Jesus! 

Peace!

HAPPY SABBATH + The Exercise Of Wisdom Pays!





 






The Acquisition Of Knowledge Costs: 
The Exercise Of Wisdom Pays! 

Jesus Christ Saves:
We Know For Sure That He Saves! 

Of What Use Is Your Knowledge Of 
Jesus Christ's Free-To-You Salvation 
If 
You Don't, Can't, Won't Use It To Save Your Own Soul 
And 
Bless Others!?! 

With Knowledge Should Come Conviction! 
With Conviction Should Come Conversion! 
Conversion Leads To A Change Of Direction! 
The Changed Direction 
Should Lead To The Desired Destination Of 
The Forever-Blessed! 
The Forever-Blessed Shall Reside In Zion
The City Of The God Glorious! 

I Beseech Us All, Beloved, 
To Go For The Gold That 
Is 
Tried In The Fire Of Affliction 
Which Will Leave Us Pure, Undefiled, Blessed
And 
Sealed Against The Day Of Destruction
The Great Day Of Small Things
The Day Of Deliverance! 

Please Pray For Me As I Pray For You: 
The Effective Fervent Pray Of 
A Righteous Man, Woman And Child 
Availeth Aka Accomplishes Much! 

The Lord, Our God, Does Indeed See Us! 
May This Knowledge Help Us 
To See Him In The Beauty Of Holiness 
And 
Bless Us To Accept The Unspeakable Gift Of Life 
So Expensively Purchased For Each Of Us Individually!

Peace!

SELF: You Can't Fool Me Again!








Dear Me Looking Back At Me In The Mirror, 

I Am Ashamed Of You 
For Boldly Lying To Me 
By Telling Me That I Have No Sin 
And, Therefore
No Possible Reason To Make Daily Use Of 
The Confession And Repentance Requirement 
For Soul Salvation! 

How Could You!?! 

Your Rank Behavior Smells Decidedly Sulphurous 
And I Want No Part Of It! 

I Believe The Living Word Of The Eternal God 
As It Is Written 
And I Understand And Accept That 
I Sin Daily By Thought, Word, And Deed! 
You Are Not Fooling Me Again! 

By Almighty God's Word And My Personal Experience
I Know For Sure That He Is Not A Liar 
And That It Is In My Best Interests 
To Keep Short Accounts With The Court In Heaven! 
You Need To Die Daily! 

For This Reason
I Will Appreciate Your Keeping Your Mouth Closed 
And Permit The Word Of God To Speak Truth, Peace
Love, Joy, Life, Obedience
Wisdom And Patient Endurance
Through The Knowledge That 
The Dear Savior Has Made Available 
For My Education And Elevation! 

You Say That You Are "Me" 
But I Know That You Are Self-Serving Self: 
Do Me A Favor And Pass Me Like A Full Bus! 

Jesus Christ Is My Lord, My God And My King: 
You Work For Satan, King Fraud
And I Rebuke You In Jesus Christ's Holy Name! 

Please Take Pride Out Of Your Stony Heart
Bend Your Knee
Humbly Look Up To Jesus Christ 
Confess, Repent
And Pray To Live In The Light Of Life! 

Jesus Christ Saves Sinners: 
Make Peace With Almighty God! 

Raise Your Gaze:
I Choose To Bless My Own Soul 
And Trust In Jesus Christ My Lord!

Only A Look ... At Christ Jesus!






Only A Look, One Look
Is 
All It Took For Us To Know That 
The Elders Meant Business! 

One Look Toward Granny Before Attempting An Act
And 
Seeing Where Her Gaze Indicated
Gave Permission Or Promised Punishment! 

One Look From The Principal 
Caused Many A U-Turn To Be Executed 
By Those Bent Upon Mischief! 

Beloved, 

Shouldn't One Look At The Word Of God
One Indication From The Holy Spirit
Cause Us To Be Wise Unto Our Own Soul's Salvation!?! 

What The Lord Promises, The Lord Performs! 

Should Not We As Faithful Servants
Obedient Children
And 
Careful Students Of The School Of Jesus 
Boldly Trust The Given Word 
And
Look For The Look That Leads Us Safely 
No Matter How Much Traffic
How Many Voices
How Many Contrary Indicators There Are Around Us Saying
"Nay! Go Another Way!?!" 

Has Not Our Lord Jesus Already Proved That 
He Can And Does Save!?! 

Would You Reject The Proof In And Of Your Own Life 
So That You May Belong To The Herd That Loves Death 
Because 
They Reject Wisdom!?! 

Jesus Christ Cares For His Children As Individuals: 
Walk With Him As One Alone 
And 
By His Saving Grace
You Shall Surely Arrive At The Heavenly Home! 

Steadfastly Look At The Lord 
Who Is Lovingly Looking Out For 
And 
Leading You With His All-Seeing Eye!

 Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: YOUR CHOICE: Lip-Service Sorry Or True Repentance







Most People's Idea Of Being "Sorry!" 
Is 
With Regard To Being Caught Doing The Thing 
And
Getting Off Cheaply ... Or Without Cost 
And Not
About Actual Repentance Aka Turning Away From The Sin 
And
Not Doing It Again
By The Saving Grace Of The Living God! 

Beloved, 

Think About What You Thought Of Doing
Spoke About Doing
Have Done
Are Doing
Or Are Planning To Do: 
Where's Your Heart!?! 

If You Were Caught Doing The Dirty
Would You Be Truly Repentant Or Lip-Service Sorry!?! 

Which Would Hurt You More: 
Being Caught
Having To Apologize
Being Punished
Being Made Ashamed
Or Recognizing That 
Your Actions Crucify Our Dear Savior Again 
And
Bring His Name To Open Shame 
In The Presence Of Eager Evil-Doers!?! 

Being Repentant To Get Out Of Trouble 
Is 
Demeaning To The One Whom You've Hurt 
And
Insulting To The Lord Christ 
Who Has Gifted Us With Confession Of 
And 
Repentance For Sin 
As The Clear Path To Soul Salvation! 

All Sin 
Is 
Against Almighty God! 

False Repentance Diminishes All Who Consider 
Almighty God's Grace And Mercy 
As Cheap 
And 
Useless Trinkets! 

Please Walk Softly Before Our Lord Jesus 
And 
Choose To Treat Repentance 
As Though Your Life Depends On It: 
It Truly Does! 

Please Don't Sell Your Soul Short 
For A Sure Shot At Vain Glory! 

Offer To The Lord A Broken 
And 
Contrite Heart! 

Peace!

HAPPY SABBATH + NOTE TO SELF: Almighty God's Good Gifts Are Glorious!











Note To Self: 
Ask The Lord To Help Me To Raise Up My Standards 
And
Lift Up My Eyes From Seeing Dirt 
So That I Will Stop Asking Him, My King And My God
For Gifts That Are Not Good For Me
Nor For Privileges That, With The Passage Of Time
Will See Me Turning Away From The Land Of Love And Light 
To Head Toward Me, My, Mine, Myself, 
And 
Misery! 

Beloved, 

When The Lord Says "No!" 
It Is Because He Knows You 
And 
He Can See The End Aka Your End
From Your Beginning! 

When The Lord Say "Yes!" 
It Is Because That Blessed "Yes!" 
Will Bless You Bountifully! 

When The Lord Says "Wait!" 
It Means Not Now 
Because 
Later Aka That Profitable Wait
Will Be Much Better For You! 

When The Lord Of Love Says "Don't Ask Again!" 
It Means Walk With Him Humbly
Patiently, Enduringly 
Because 
His Grace ... His Favor Which You Can't Buy
Is 
Sufficient And Enough For You: 
Trust Him! 

Whether We Receive The Good Gift Today 
Or Ten Years Down The Road
The Good Gift Remains The Good Gift
Because
It Is The Gift Of The Living, Holy, Ever-Faithful
Almighty God Of Grace And Glory! 

Our Father Who Is In Highest Heaven
Is 
The Lord Most High
Giving And Forgiving
Who Personally Loves You Intimately! 

I Beseech Us All To Keep In Mind That 
Saying "Thank You!" For The Good Gift Received 
By The Lord Of Life's Schedule 
Is 
Always Preferable To Having To Ask For Forgiveness 
Because 
The Lord's Perfectly Timed Schedule 
And 
Our Haphazard All-About-Me Agenda
Violently Collided! 

To Willingly Obey 
Is 
Always Better Than Forced Sacrifice 
And
Sacrificing Sinful Self 
Is 
Most Assuredly Always Better Than 
Sacrificing Soul Salvation! 

Almighty God's Good Gifts Are Glorious! 

Peace!

Godly Understanding Is A Free Gift From Almighty God!







Are The Eyes Of Your Understanding Sighted Or Blinded!?! 

What Do You Want To Understand!?! 

What Do You Want To See!?! 

What Are You Choosing To Cast A Blind Eye Toward!?! 

Why Would Any Christian Choose Willful Ignorance 
Over Illuminated Understanding!?! 

Beloved, 

We Live In A World Where Having An Understanding Heart
And
Being Able To See Another's Point Of View 
Without Anger And Hatred 
And
Choosing To Stand Firm In The Faith Of Jesus Christ 
Makes One A Pariah ... An Outcast
And 
An Enemy To The Multitude 
But
It Is No Reason To Deny Your Faith ... The Most Holy Faith
Nor Ignore 
And 
Denigrate Your Father In Heaven! 

With The Wisdom Of The Living God 
Comes Understanding To Use The Knowledge That 
The Lord Has Generously Placed At Our Disposal 
To Bless Ourselves 
And 
Most Definitely Others! 

Think About It ... 

Understanding To Do Evil Is Useless
But
Understanding To Do Good And Right 
Aka The Things Of Jesus Christ The Lord 
Is 
Perfectly Priceless! 

Godly Understanding 
Is 
A Good And Perfect Free Gift From Our Almighty God 
So Don't Bastardize It By Shutting Out The Light Of Life 
To Willfully Do Evil! 

Please Understand That 
Once You Are Made Aware Of Truth 
And
You Choose To Ignore Truth 
In Order To Indulge Error
You Are Guilty Of Sin! 

Godly Understanding Is Infinitely Free 
But 
Willful Ignorance 
Is 
Grossly Expensive! 

I Encourage Us All
To Be Wise Unto Your Own Soul's Free Salvation! 

Peace!

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!

The Watchman: All In!



 
 





A Watch Is A Guard, A Restraint! 
If The Lord ... By The Holy Spirit 
Is 
Your Watchman ... Your Guard
It Means That He Is Keeping You Safe In His Care 
And 
Safe From All That Would Cause You Eternal Harm! 

If The Lord Is Guarding You ... At Your Request
By The Holy Angels Excelling In Strength 
Who Influence You To Do What Is Good And Right
It Means That You Must Cooperate With Your Guardians 
As They Guide You To Safety! 

Beloved, 

Even Though The Lord 
Is 
Our Guard, Guide And Stay Aka Keeper
We Are To Diligently Work Our Own Soul's Salvation 
By Constantly Praying 
And
Listening To Hear The Responses To Our Prayers
And
Doing What Is Required Of Us 
Even If The Response 
Is Not 
The One For Which We Had Hoped! 

We May Pray All We Want 
But 
If We Do Not Obey The Guard As We Ought
The Benefits That We Have So Pitifully Requested 
Will Not Be Ours To Harvest 
And
In Quietness Enjoy! 

It Is Time For Us To Get Our Spiritual Houses In Order: 
Pray In Faith! 
Listen With Hope! 
Accept Answers For Love! 
Act With Confidence! 
Rest In Peace! 

Remember, Remember 
Don't Ever Forget ... 

There Are Many Things That We Won't Receive 
Because 
We Don't Ask! 
There Are Things That We Receive That Don't Profit 
Because 
We Don't Have A Working Faith! 
Dare To Learn The Difference! 

Trust The Lord Jesus 
     All The Way 
                  As You Pray!

Smells Good Doesn't Mean Tastes Great!







The Longer We Spend Outside The Safe Fold
The Shorter Will Be Our Time To Knowingly Enjoy 
The Goodness And Grace Of The Lord Christ! 

Beloved, 

We Are Called To Soul Salvation 
And
We Need To Climb Up Higher On The Upward Way: 
Why Waste Time With Useless Things 
When We May Draw Closer To The Living God 
Each And Every Day!?! 

Know The Facts ...

All That Glitters Is Not Gold! 
Smell Good Doesn't Mean Taste Great! 
Beautiful Often Means Rotten 

And

Those Who Encourage You To Join Them In Bold Sin 
Cannot And Will Not Save You! 

Jesus Christ, The Forever Friend 
And 
Faithful Companion To Life's End
Calls, Cares, Keeps, Cleans, Comforts, Carries
And 
Consoles! 

He Asks, Answers
And
Accepts! 

He Loves, Leads
And 
Lifts! 

He Shepherds, Seeks, Saves, Sanctifies
And 
Seals! 

Be Comforted ...

Jesus Christ Died To Deliver Us From Death And Hell 
And
He Is Calling Us To Himself! 

Jesus Christ Is Everything We Need
All That We Desire 
And
More Than We Can Ever Think To Dream Of Or Acquire! 

Brethren, Beloved

Our Dear Savior Loves You Personally ... Intimately
With An Everlasting Love: 
Nothing ... Material Or Spirit 
Can Ever Separate You From His Everlasting Love! 

I Beseech Us All 
Please Do Not Permit What Presently Is 
To Deny You The Blessed Pleasure Of Certain Hope!
 
Let's Boldly Walk In 
And
Work Our Daily Gift Of Unfailing Faith 
And
Look Up To Rise Up 
To Meet Our Dear And Soon-Coming Lord In The Air!
The Trumpet Shall Sound!

YOUR CONSCIENCE: Who Is Your Guide!?!






It Is All Well And Good To Say That 
Our Conscience Is Our Guide! 

The Question Is: 
By Whom And Upon What Is Your Conscience Being Fed!?! 

Is Your Conscience Alive And Working 
Or Has It Been Seared By A Hot Iron 
And Is Officially Dead!?! 

Beloved, 

The All-Seeing, All-Knowing, Ever-Present
Creator Sustainer God Holy Has Lovingly Said To Us: 
"Come Let Us Reason Together!"

In This Request To Us Is The Offer: 
Come And Be Taught ...
Come And Learn From Me 
Who Is, Was And Ever Shall Be! 

If You Are Resting Your Conscience 
Upon The Living Truth Of The Eternal One
Then Your Conscience Will Walk You Along The Path That 
Is 
Truth And Beauty! 

If, However, Your Conscience 
Is 
Resting On Self
Feeding Off What Makes The Stomach Churn
Living By Do-It-Yourself Theology
And 
Being Guided By Entertainment 
While Forgetting That Time 
Is Not 
On Your Side
You May Want To Indulge In Some Good Housekeeping 
And
Get Yourself In Touch With Him Who Saves 
To Be Blessed By The Fortune That 
Comes From Actively Using 
Jesus Christ's Gift To Us Of Daily Faith! 

Brethren, Beloved 

Living In Willful Sin Is Not Okay 
So Let Us Be Wise Unto Our Own Soul's Salvation 

And

Being Taught And Corrected By The Holy Spirit Of Truth 
Allow Our Conscience To Be Our Perfected Guide To Safety 
Before The Inevitable
Must-Pass
Every-Man Tests Of Life Arrive! 

Please Do Not Offend The Living God
But, Instead
Bless Him Who, Alone, Can Utterly Save Us!

Trust The Sure Defence!






A Buckler 
Is 
A Shield ... A Personal Defence 
So Jesus Christ The Lord
Whom We Intimately Lean Upon And Trust
Is 
Our Personal Defence
Our Shield Against Our Foes 
Whether They Are Seen Or Unseen
Known Or Unknown
Near Or Far! 

Beloved, 

We Trust Aka Depend Upon The Lord Christ For Our Defence 
Becaus
We Have Proved Aka Tried Him 
And
Have Found Him 
And
Are Finding Him To Be Able And Capable 
And
Most Assuredly Available! 

Memories And Thoughts ...

Let Us Remember What Our Lord Christ Has Done For Us
And 
Think About What He Is Doing For Us 
And
Let Us Look Forward With A Lively Hope 
To What He Has Promised That He Will Do For Us! 

Please, I Beseech Us All 
Don't Trust Lying Eye-See
Deceitful Ear-Hear 
Or Treacherous I-Feel As You Make The Pilgrim Journey! 

Please Dare, By Faith, To Ever Trust 
The Unchanging, Unfailing
Unimpeachable, Uplifting 
"Thus Saith The Lord!" 
For Body And Soul Salvation! 

Beware
Be Prepared
And 
Don't Be Scared 
As You Hear The Harsh Words Of 
Those Who Seek To Take Away Your Free Will 
And 
Your Freedom To Choose! 

Dare To Hold To Almighty God's Unchanging Hand Of 
Hope, Help And Healing! 

Dare To Walk In The Living, Holy, Faith Of Jesus Christ 
Which Cannot, Will Not, Fail! 

Dare To Trust The Eternal Word Of 
The Lamb Who Is The Lion Of The Tribe Of Judah
And
The Rock Of Ages ... Our Sure Rock Of Refuge
Who Is A Rock Of Offence
And
A Stone Of Stumbling
To All Unbelievers And Evil-Doers! 

Brethren, Beloved

Dare To Please The True And Living God
And
Bless Your Own Soul:
Look Up To Jesus Christ
The Author And Finisher Of Our Faith
And 
Live Abundantly ... Now
And
Forevermore ... At The Appointed Time!
