Careless Words Cost!

Careless Words Cost 

And 

Costly Words Cure Us Of Carelessness! 

We Used To Have An Old Expression 

About Paying For Your Mouth 

And If People Used To Have To Go Down To Coleridge Street

At The Court Building

To Pay For Their Often Useless Talk

They Wouldn't Talk Foolishness! 

Beloved, 

There Is Bible For Your Feet In This Matter! 

Our Words Justify Us! 

Our Words Condemn Us! 

The Old Folk 

And 

The School Master And Mistress 

Used To Tell Us Not To Talk Idle! 

Dear Ones, 

Many Of Us Believe That 

The Only Bad Words Are Swear Words 

But

We Should Sincerely Look At Unkind, Careless

Lawless, Crude, And Cruel 

Aka Candy-Coated Venomous Words! 

We May Spend Our Word-Money Carelessly 

And 

Start Using "Words On Credit" 

But 

The Debt-Collector That 

No One Can Turn Around Or Escape From 

Will One Day Be Right At Our Side! 

Have You Counted The Cost Of 

Self-Condemnation And Other-Denigration!?! 

Same Tongue Different Day Hell To Pay 

Stands Up Against 

Same Day Different Tongue Glory To Share! 

The Call Is Yours Alone To Make! 

I Sincerely Pray That 

We Will All Choose To Speak Peace

Share Love

And 

Give God Glory! 

Words Lift Or Lower! 

Choose The Good Portion! 

Peace!

DON'T PREY: Pray!

 

Being A Committed Christian Is Hard 

But 

Also Quite Satisfying

Because 

We Walk Under The Banner Of The Prince Of Peace 

Who Gives Us Oh His Peace That 

Passes Human Understanding! 

Our God Does Not Sleep 

For He Walks Too And Fro Among His People 

Over Whom Holy Angels Excelling In Strength Keep Watch 

As They Protect Them From The Schemes Of The Devil! 

Fret Not Thyself Because Of The Evil-Doers! 

Our God Keeps Detailed Records 

And 

No Wrong Done Against The Lord's Faithful 

Shall Go Unpunished! 

Beloved,

Please Keep Your Eye On The Heavenly Prize! 

Keep Your Hand On The Gospel Plow! 

Keep A Song Of Zion In Your Heart 

And 

On Your Tongue 

And 

Let Your Life Read Like 

The Living Truth That You Treasure! 

Let's Ever Remember That 

There Is No Law Against A Meek And Gentle Spirit

The Very Spirit That Our Lord Manifested 

On His Earthly Sojourn! 

Please Let The Holy Spirit Teach, Guide 

And 

Comfort You On This Pilgrim Journey! 

Judgment Day 

Is 

Coming For All Unrepentant Evil-Doers 

So By Grace ... Through Faith

Please Make Sure That You Are Not Among Them! 

Choose To Speak Peace 

And

Committed To The Cause Of Christ

Confidently ... Diligently

Go Faithfully On Our God's Errands! 

Truth Wins! 

Don't Prey: Pray! 

Dare To Hate ... Sin!

The Only Time That A Christian Should Be Called A Hater
Or Should Indulge In Hatred
Is 
When It Applies To Hating Sin! 

Any Other Usage For Hate
- Which Always Leads To The Desire To Hurt
To Physically Harm Others
Is 
Satanic
And 
Is Severely Condemned By The Lord! 

Hate Leads To Murder 
And 
No Unrepentant Murderer 
Shall Enter The City Of God!

Look Around And See The Lives Ruined 
By Misdirected, Misapplied, Misused Hatred 
And 
Tremble Knowing That But For The Grace Of God 
You Could Be Rotting In Prison 
Because 
You Hated Someone And Committed Murder
Or You Could Be Rotten And Forgotten In A Cold Grave 
Because 
Someone Hated And Killed You! 

Beloved, 

Please Don't Give Satan Power To Control You 
By Indulging In Hatred Misapplied!

Hate Sin!
Hate Satan!
Hate The Lusts That Would Cause You 
To Sin Against Jesus Christ 
And 
Your Own Soul 
But 
Do Not Play In Satan's Workshop 
By Hating Those For Whom The Lord Christ Died! 

Misused Hatred 
Is 
A Convenient "Devil-Delicious" 
Maliciously-Wrapped
And 
Malevolently-Distributed Candy-Bomb
And
If You Have Such "Candy" In Your Heart
Please Dial 1-800-Call-Jesus Aka Pray Without Ceasing
And 
Bare Your Soul To The King Who Is Always Available!

Remember ...

His Holy Spirit ... The Holy Spirit Of Truth
- By Whom We Are Sealed Against The Day Of Judgment -
Defuses And Destroys All Of Satan's Weapons!

In Jesus Christ's Holy Name
Dare To Speak Peace ... And Do Love!

Self, Sin And Satan

Are An Unholy Triumvirate:

Self Leads To Sin

And

Satan Encourages People

To Indulge Self

And

To Practice Sin!

**--**--**--**--**

Jesus Christ ... Our Savior

Died

To Save All Of Us

From Self, Sin And Satan:

Choose To Be Saved!

Speak Truth In Love To ... A Fallen Man!

I Saw Grace Walking
In Front Of Judgment!
I Witnessed Truth In Front Of Grace
AND
The Master's Call
Offering Mercy
AND
Pardon
Was In Front Of Them All!

They Were Purposefully Going After
A Fallen Man
Who Held Known Sin
By His Right Hand!

I Looked Closer
AND
There, Also
I Beheld Them:

Blessing
Peace
Rest
AND
Comfort For The Soul
AND
You Will Not Be Pleased To Know That
Usurper
Disdain
Disobedience
Selfishness
Waywardness
Greed
Lust
Envy
Gainsay
Vainglory
Wilfulness
False Oath
Lie
AND
Debase
Were Vigorously Giving Chase!

Those Proud Adherents Of
Damned Devil
Were Energetically Pushing Nature
Nurture
Pleasure Of Sense
Feelings
Fashion
AND
Living Disgrace

AND

They Have Been Known To Vigorously
Perniciously
Get Up In Truth's Dear Face!

What A Shame!

Oh, My!
Look!

Truth Just Fell Down In The Street!

We've Got To Help Him!
He Must Get Through To A Fallen Man!
He Must Not Suffer Defeat
Even Though The Destroyer
Is Calling Good, Evil
Light, Darkness
Sweet, Bitter
AND
Demanding That Truth From
The Battle For Eternal Life
Go Into A Retreat!

How Are You Standing?!

I've Got:
Thy Word Have I Hid In My Heart!

I've Got:
Trust Ye In The Lord For Ever!

I've Got:
I Delight To Do Thy Will!

Ready, Men?!

Readyyyyy!!

Send The Word To A Fallen Man!
Speak Peeeeace!!

We Give You, Lord

All Our Praise

And Our Prayers!

And

We Humbly Beseech You

Please Let It Be So

Until

The End Of Our Days!

Let The Holy Spirit Lead Us

Into All Truth

For We Ask All These Mercies 

In Jesus Christ's Holy Name!

We Do Love You, Lord!

AMEN.

Brethren!
Heaven Awaits The Faithful
So
Be Ye Faithful Unto Death!

Hallelujah! 

Amen!

God's Creation

Greetings, Dear Ones!

    This is the day that we who are Sabbath-keepers call Preparation Day, wherein we make sure that all our chores are done, meals prepared, clothing readied, and by sun-down we are ready to Sabbath or rest in the Lord from sundown on Friday to sundown on Saturday.

     It is a beautiful time where we spend it worshipping, studying, and fellowshipping (the food is always wonderful), as we remember that it is the memorial of God's Creation, and that He is our Creator and deserves our worship. It is the day that we keep holy unto the Lord.

     In its honor, our offering today is a poem entitled God's Creation that speaks to the fact that all He has recreated is for the refreshment and renewing of our minds.

     Enjoy!

God’s Creation

Creation came from God’s palette

Made up of things supreme

He who designed the creation

Designed it to keep me serene.

Nobody views God’s creation

The way that it speaks to me

So my view of God’s creation

Can only be got from me.

God put all the right colors

In the rainbow, the flowers, the seas

They all fit together in perfection

Because God caused it to be!

So when I’m sad and lonely

I look at God’s creation and see

The beautiful things He created

The things that speak “peace” to me! **BJC**
