Sowers Always Reap What They Sowed!

Despite What Is Widely Published
In The Galleria Of The Mall Of Sin
What A Person Sows
Is
Exactly What The Person Will Reap!
We've Got Bible For That
And
Bible Don't  ... Can't ... Lie!


Isaiah 3:10-11 King James KJV... -


Brethren,

There Are Only Two Paths In This Life:
The Way Of The Ungodly
And
The Way Of The Righteous
And
We Who Call Ourselves Christians
Should Be On The Only Path That
Leads To Eternal Life!

Preach It, Brother!

Bitter Water And Sweet Water
Can't Come From The Same Spring
And
There Ain't No Sinner Unrepentant That
Shall Ever, Ever
Immortality And Eternal Life Be Reaping!

AMEN!!!

You Tell Them, Brother Berry!

Hold Up, Master Cuddy!
You Might Be ... Nay ... You Are Laboring
Under A Clear Misapprehension!

How So, Brother B.!?!

Simple!
The Message Is Not For "Them!"
The Message Is For You, Me ... For Us All!

But ...!?!

... Halt Your Butting Right There!
If You Will Permit Me To Be Tad Childish:
When You Are Pointing At Another Person
With Your Pointed-Accusing Index Finger
How Many Of Your Own Fingers
Are Pointing Back At You!?!

Oh, Dear!

Uh, huh!

Beloved, 

We Have Been Warned: 
Just As A Man Thinks, So Is He! 

We Have Been Cautioned: Guard Your Heart 
Because 
You Go Where It Sends You! 

We Are Encouraged: 
Do Good And Good Will Attend You! 

We Have The Sure Promise: 
The Blessings Of The Lord Make Us Rich 
And 
He Adds No Sorrow To Them! 

We Are Called To Build A House ... A Sure House
Where Righteousness Dwells 
Because 
To Be Righteous
To Have The Hand Of The Lord Upon Your Life
Moving You
Motivating You By The Holy Spirit Of Truth 
To Speak 
And 
To Do According To His Holy Will 
And 
In His Blessed Way
Is 
To Bless Your Own Soul 
Out Of The Bounty In The Storehouses Of Heaven! 

Remember ...

You Can't Input Garbage Into Your Heart 
And 
Produce Gold: 
GIGO ... Garbage In/Garbage Out! 
Our Computers "Know" This: Shouldn't We!?! 

Let Us Endeavor ... Today
To Live The Righteous Life So That 
We May, Indeed, Enjoy The Fruit
The Blessed Outcome Of Our Doings 
Aka A Home In Glory With Almighty God
With Jesus Christ Our Blessed Lord! 

Please Let The Desire 
To Hear The "Well Done!" From Our Jesus 
Motivate Our Thoughts And Deeds Today! 
If We Don't We Will Never See Him In Peace!

Sowers Reap A Harvest!

Everybody Has Unrealistic Expectations
For Marriage
Family, Work And Friends
But I Can Safely Say
- Without Fear Of Contradiction -
That My Expectations Concerning Christ Jesus
Will Never Comport 
With His Myriad Blessings Vouchsafe To Me
And Neither Will His Blessings
- Ever -
My Hopeful Soul Offend!

Wha' Loss!
Hear De Big Christ'an Talk!
Their Ain't Nobody Like She And She Jesus!

You Know
Every Since She Got Into That "Relationship"
You Would Think She Is Going To Get A Gold Crown!

Of THAT You Can Be Sure
Because
MY Relationship With MY Jesus
Is Personal
And He Promised Me A New Name
A Personal Mansion In Glory
A Gold Harp
A Victor's Palm
And, Yes
A Real-Real Gold Crown!

How Special ...!

... And She Believes Him!

Hold It, Sarah!
You And Cora Had Better Stop Teasing Maylene!
She Is Very Serious About Her Lord
AND
You Two Had Better Wake Up!

There's A Time And Place For Jesting
And This Is Not It!

Awww, Auntie Jen!
We Didn't Mean Anything By It! 

We Were Just Funning
Cause She's Such An Easy Target!

Now, Really!
That Is Just Being Unkind!

Children!
Gather Around!

Yes, Ma'am!

See What You Did?!
You're Always Getting Us In Trouble!

Settle Down!
Nobody Is In Trouble ... Yet
BUT
I Want To Tell You A Story
AND
Then You Will Tell Me The Moral:

There Was Once A Boy Named Samuel
Who Loved The Lord!
He Was Young But Genuine In His Love
And He Walked With God In Accord!

Samuel Lived At God's Sanctuary
In A Town Called Shiloh
With The High Priest Called Eli
And His Two Very Wicked
Worthless Sons
Aka Sons Of Belial
Sons Of The Devil
Who Had Absolutely No Respect
For The Ways Of Truth And Goodness
Nor The Holy Things Of The Eternal God!

Almighty God Was Not Pleased
AND
One Night
- This Was At a Time When A Word From God
To The Nation Was A Thing Rare - 
The Lord Did Something Wonderful
AND
Spoke To Samuel
In His Very Ear!

The Voice Was So Near
That Samuel Thought It Was Old Eli Calling Him!

I Wish Almighty God Would Talk To Me Like That!

He Can
AND
He Does
BUT
You Must Have A Heart
For The Things Of God
And Be Kind
And Obedient
And Truthful
And Faithful
AND
Of A Willing Spirit!

Do You Remember When We Talked About
Being
AND
Becoming
Like The Lord Jesus?!

Yes, Ma'am!

Was Jesus Ever Unkind
Or Malicious
Speaking Spiteful Words
To The People
Even Those Who Were Not Kind To Him
Or Who Were Not Even His Friends?!

Oh, No!
Never!

Jesus Had A Meek ...!

... Kind ...!

... Gentle And Loving Spirit!

Well, Samuel Was Just Like That
BUT
High Priest Eli's Sons
- Hophni And Phineas -
Treated The Things Of God
The People Of God
The Gifts Designated For God
As Unholy Things
As Things Common
As Things To Be Abused
As Things Dirty!

Oh, Dear!
But We Were Just Playing!

We Weren't Even Serious!

Children,
Those Very Words May Be Applied
To How Eli Raised Up His Sons!

Eli, The High Priest Of God
Wasn't Serious About His Leadership!
Eli Wasn't Firm In Disciplining His Sons
AND
His Children
To The Things Of The Earth
AND
From Him
From The Holy God
Ran Away!

They Wanted That Thing Called Fun!

Understand This:

People Don't Become Mean-Spirited
And Unkind
And Profligate
And Wicked
Overnight!

People Learn What They Live
AND
Practicing A Bad Habit
AND
It Not Being Corrected
Chastised
Or Set Aside
Permits It To Become
A Practical Way To Live Life!

It Is Then That What You Should Rule, Rules You!

What You Plant

Is
What You Harvest! 
What You Harvest
You
Shall Eat
And
May Almighty God Help You
If Your Eating
Is Not Sweet
Or
Something That You Consider
Fit
For You To Eat
T
What You Call A Treat!



Ma'am?
What Happened To Hophni And Phineas?!

I Want To Know What Happened To Samuel!

What Happened To Hophni And Phineas
Was Sad
BUT
Just
AND
It Was A Hard Lesson Learned For Their Father
Who Died The Very Same Day
That They Did!
They Died In Battle!

Hophni And Phineas's Untoward Behavior
Prevented
Many A Faithful Soul From Worshipping
Before The Living God
In The Place Appointed!

As For Samuel
The Ever-Present
All-Knowing
All-Seeing God 
Revealed To Him That He Was Bringing
An End To Eli And His Family
Because Eli Had Elevated His Sons Above
The Holy God!

As For Samuel 
He Became A Prophet Called Of God!
He Was Also A Priest!
AND
He Was Also A Judge!

Samuel Was Faithful
Honest
AND
Upright In The Holy God's Sight
AND
He Was That Way Until He Died At A Ripe Old Age!

Eli's Family Indeed Ended!
His Daughter-In-Law Died 
Just After She Gave Birth To A Son!
Before She Died
She Called Him Ichabod
Because
The Glory Had Departed!

Hophni And Phinea's Behavior
Had Resulted In The Ark Of God Being Stolen
By The Philistines!

Okay, Children!
What Can We Learn From This Story:

Evil Habits Grow!
Good Habits Grow!
All Habits Are Present Before The Lord
Just As Before Mortal Men They Show!

God Does Not Like Ugly!

Being Unrepentant Of Evil
Always Gets One Punished!

Doing Good Always Gets Rewarded!

The Living God Does Not Play Favorites!

The Things Of God Are Sacred!

Faith Matters!

Okay. Very Good!
Now ... Is There SOMETHING You Two NEED To Say
To A Certain Somebody?!

Yes, Ma'am!
Maylene, We're Sorry! 
What We Said And Did Was Neither Nice Nor Kind! 
Please Forgive Us!

We Promise That We Won't Treat You Like That Again ...!

... Tell Us Again About Your Relationship With Jesus!

I Want A Personal Mansion!

Heyyyy!
Do You Think Jesus Will Put Your Mansion Next To Mine?!

This IS So Cool!

Come On!
Tell Us More Stories Of Your ...!

... You Mean Our ...!

... Jesus!

Just Remember, Children ...


A Ship Without Moorings

Without An Anchor
In The Sea Of Change
In The Depths Of Decay
Will Assuredly
Be Lost!
