Your Honor,
After Having Lived A Debauched Life
Following Satan And His Lying Crew
I Realized At The Sun's Dawning
On A Great And Glorious Day
That A Life Of Sin
Was No Longer The Thing For Me!

I Realized That That Life Had Surely Proven
That Sin Does Not Pay
And After Listening
To That Still Voice Calling Me
I Dug Out My Old Bible
That My Dear Old Granny
Had Lovingly Given Me.

I Turned To The Blessed Book Of Matthew
And Started Reading Until I Found The Lord's Prayer!

I Turned To The Blessed Book Of John
And Read Until I Reached
Chapter 3 Verses 16 And 17
And There I Stopped
Trembling
Then, Hurt
BUT Driven!

I Remembered ... Saintly Old Job
Oh, The Memory Of The Living Faith I Had
Before I Misspent My Youth!

Job 19:25
Brought Tears To My Eyes!

Righteous Job
Tormented By That Fraud Satan
Accused Wrongfully By Friends
And Despised By The Community
Which He Had Fed And Clothed
And Then To Hear The Wife Of His Heart
His Heretofore Trustworthy Help-Meet
Telling Him To Curse The Living God And Die
And To Read Of Old Job
Maintaining His Integrity
Before His Beloved Holy God, Saying
In Truth And Beauty

I Know
That My Redeemer Liveth
And
That He Shall Stand
At
The Latter Day
Upon
The Earth.
What A Blessed Hope.
Job Continued, Saying
And Though Worms
After My Flesh
Destroy
This Body
Yet
In My Flesh
Shall I See God
With My Own Eyes
And Not Those Of Another.

What A Blessing That Was!

The God Of All Creation
Gave Me 
In That Very Day
A New Life
A New Hope
A New Mission
A Promise That He Shall Keep
When He Comes Again
And To Take His Faithful People Home.

In That Beautiful Beginning 

Of The New Day

I Answered The Call

Of The Living God's Holy Spirit

To Walk Faithfully

Truthfully

Honestly

Obediently

Obeying The True Word Of God

Before The Corrupt Word

Of Demon Inspired Men

Who Break God's Settled And Sealed Word!

I Broke No Law That Was In Keeping With The Law Of God!

I Chose The Blessing Of God

Eternal Life In Heaven With Jesus Christ!

No More Pain!

No More Sorrow!

No More Dying Body!

For Having Kept The Faith
Of The Lord Jesus Christ
At The Sound Of The Trumpet Of God

And The Hearing Of The Voice Of The Archangel

At The Breaking Of The Eastern Sky

Whether You Condemn Me To Die Now

Or I Am Alive At The Appearing

I Shall Be Glorified!

I Shall Receive A Forever Young Body!

I Shall Be Immortalized!

I Shall Attain
By My Living Faith
That Unreachable

Unattainable Goal

That Satan Himself

Promised To You All

But Can't Deliver.!

I Shall See

Face To Face

Your Euphemistic

But My Very Real

Holy Living 

All-seeing

All-knowing

Ever-present

Always Available To The Believer God

That Your Dying

Soon To Be Eternally Dead Wannabe God

Could Not Tempt To Sin

Could Not Destroy

Even Though

He Had Him Cruelly Abused

And Ultimately Killed.

You May Kill My Body

But

You Cannot Kill My Body And My Soul

Together

In Hell!

I Stand Before You Here

In This Life

Unclean And Guilty!

I Stand Before Almighty God

The Eternal God

My Lord And My God

My Savior

My Redeemer

My Friend Until My Mortal Life Ends

Clean And Innocent!

I Have Robbed No Man Of His Wages!

I Have Coveted No Man's Property
Nor His Husband Nor His Wife!
I Don't Bow Before Useless Idols!
I Don't Steal!
And I Don't Bear False Witness
Against Anyone
Not Even For Perishable Gold!

Yes! I Used To Be A Sinner
But I Confessed And Repented Of My Sins
And By The Blood Of Jesus Christ
I Was Able To Present Myself
Before The Throne Of Grace
To Receive God's Full And Free Forgiveness!

I Keep All The Commandments Of God!

I Have The Faith Of Jesus

And,  Yes

I Keep The Seventh Day Sabbath Holy Unto God!

Yes, I Keep All 10 Of God's Immutable Commandments

Because If I Break One

I Break Them All!

God Does Not Ask For Much From Me

When I Look At All His Beloved Son Paid

To Redeem Me

From Death And Hell

From The Clutches Of Satan

And His Abominable Crew

Who Did All

To Make Me My Jesus Eschew!

I Openly Willingly Chose

Eternal With My Jesus!

I Give Unto Him

Love Honor

Prayers And Praise

Obedience

Worship

My Will And My Way

And My Self In Every Way!

Heavenly Father,  Into Your Holy Hands

I Commend My Mortal Spirit

For Satan Has No Part In Me!

I Am Your Sheep

And I Am Glad Of It

And I Look To The Glorious Day

And My Eternal Life With You In It!

Father, You Have And I Know You Will
Continue To Supply All Of My Need
According To Your Blessed Eternal Riches In Glory!

I DO NOT Fear Man

For I Can Here Feel Your Hand!

I Know That The Angels Are Here Attending!

Glory Be To The Son

At Your Right Hand!
And Thank You, Father
For The Blessed Comfort Of Your Holy Spirit
And The Inspired Word Provided As You Promised!

Blessed Is The Name Of My God!

Thank You. 

JUDGE: You Are Hereby Sentenced To Death By Guillotine! The Sentence Will Be Executed Immediately!

Remove The Condemned From This Hallowed Place!

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

Later That Evening ...

Station LITE
END of Life News:

... The Final Words Heard Coming From The Mouth Of The Condemned Faithful Christian Were: 

"Victory In Jesus! 
And

The Lord Is My Shepherd!" 

BREAKING NEWS!!

This Just In ...

The Seas Are Now As Dead Men's Blood! 

The Stench Is Reportedly Unbelievable 

And The Mighty Ships In The Once Sea Water Are Effectively Dead! 

This Is Surely A Plague Of Truly Epic And Biblical Proportions! 

Do You Think What The Christians Have Been Saying Is Really True!?! <>

PERSONAL PUZZLER: Sustaining The Charge: "Christian!"

I am Intrigued by The Question:

"Is There Enough Evidence 

To Convict You Of The Charge Of 

Being A Christian?"

Whilst This May Presently be a Talking Point - A What If
Soon The Day Will Appear 
When This Question Will Assuredly Elicit 
The Response That Means Life or Death!

With This Burning Question Before Us, It Is Time For Some Serious Soul-Searching:

• Does The Word Of God Give You Pause When You Contemplate Doing Wrong?
• When You've Done Wrong,  How Does Your Heart Respond?
• Do You Prayer Over Meals At Home But Hide In Public?
• Does You Mien - Attitude, Look, Character - Towards People And Situations Say "Child Of God!?"
• Does Your Appearance Set You Apart From The Multitude?
• Does Your Speech Say Circumspection?
• What Is Your Response When Attacked For Being A Christian?
• Does The World See Jesus In You?
• Do You Share Your Faith?
• Do You Bless Others?
• Are You Kind And Thoughtful?
• Are You Known For Being A Praying Person?
• Would You Argue Against Jesus Christ To Save Your Mortal Life Even Though You Know That Eternal Life Awaits The Faithful?
• Would You Deny Jesus Christ To Be Able To Buy Bread Even Though Jesus Promised That Your Bread And Water Are Secure ... If You Are Faithful?
• Would You Deny Jesus Christ If It Would Keep You Employed?
• Would You Deny Jesus Christ To Have Peace In Your Home?
• Do You Believe In God Enough To Stand Firm Against Rabid Religious Opposition?
• Do You Believe God's Promises Enough To Stand Behind Them If Called To Stand In Front The Guillotine, The Firing Squad or The Crazed Mob?
• Were You Asked To Describe The God Of Your Heart,  What Would You Say?
• The "Thought Police" Are Checking For Contraband Bibles - Printed and Electronic - And Christian Books. They Are Knocking At Your Door.  Will You Hide Your Bible and Books To Avoid Detention -  No Trial?
• You Are Asked To Choose Between The Word Of The Living God and The Word Of The Government Knowing Full Well That If The Words Of The Government Are Not In Line With The Word Of God That The Word Of God Rules. The Words Of The Government Are Contrary To The Word Of God. What Would You Do If Your Life Depends On Your Answer?
• The Working Idol-God Is In Place.  All Kinds Of Music Is Being Played.  You Must Worship The Idol Or Be Killed. How Do You Stand?
• The Word Comes That Jesus Christ Is In The Desert Doing Miraculous Things. Will You Go To See Him Even Though Your Bible Says "That Jesus" IS Fake And Not To Run After Demons Performing Miracles?
• Your Highly Respected Church Leader and His Companion, The Government Leader, Says That Jesus Christ Told Them To Tell You That Worshiping At The Feet Of The Man Of Sin Is Not A Sin If It Means Saving Your Life. What Would You Do?
• Many Are The Reports From The Authorities That Say That Jesus Christ Said That It Is Okay To Do Whatever A Christian Must Do To Survive The Time Of Strife For He Knows That All Christians Really Love and Believe In Him, and That Self-Preservation Must Be Your Watch-word. What Would You Do?
• Is The Holy Word Presented In Your King James Bible Your Guide For Living A Blessed Life?
• A "Bible" Passage Is Presented To You Which Says That Jesus Christ Is God's Son But That He Is Not God; That Jesus Christ Never Came To Earth And Will Never Come To Earth; and That The Holy Spirit Is Not God But The Breath Of God Which Is Nothing And Cannot Do Anything For Men's Souls. If You Correct The Passage You Are Effectively A Dead Person. What Would You Do?
• Can You, Do You, Would You Really Trust God - The Unseen God Who Gave Mankind The Sure Word - For Your Salvation Over The God(s) Of The Earth With Their Ever-changing Ideas and Ideologies, Fads and Fashions, Promises and Pledges, Feigned Tempests and Foul Thunderings Who Cater To Your Carnal Desires?

To Be A True Christian

In The Time Of Strife

Is To Have Damocles' Sword

Swinging Over The Head

BUT

The Child Of God

Though In Peril Of Losing His Own Head

Faithfully Asserts:

"Jesus Christ Died

To Save Sinful Me

And

Nothing That This Body Suffers

Will Stop My Soul 

From Being In My God

Gloriously Safe and Eternally Free!

I Accepted God's Free Offer 

Of

Salvation

And

I Will Live Again

Because Of The Blood 

Of

The Living Lamb!"

Now Go ... To The Throne Of Grace!!
