THE EVERLASTING PORTION: One Life To Live!

 






What Is The Point To Having Lived The Perfectly Good Life
Not Having Made The Mistakes Of Rebellious Youth
Having The Good Marriage
The Good Children
The Good Career
The Good Portfolio
Held The Good Position In Church 
Mentored Young Folks To Be Good 
Maintained A Good Conscience Toward Almighty God ... And Man
But
In The Day When Your Conscience 
Is 
Tested For Jesus Christ The Lord 
And
Your Freedom 
Is 
Threatened For Allegiance To The Lord Of Life
You Make Like A Water-Bird And Duck 
And
Act Like Leaves In The Autumn 
And 
Fall Under Pressure!?! 

Beloved, 

We Are Called To Die Daily To Self! 

We Are Required To Stand In The Faith That Cannot Fail: 
We Must Trust In The Lord Forever 
Because
In Him Alone
Is 
Everlasting Strength! 

Would You Give Up Walking On Streets Of Gold 
To Save A Brick House And A Cement Driveway
Or
Miss Out On Having The Wings Of An Eagle 
And 
Ranging Across The Universe 
To Instead Buy A Ticket 
And 
Have Someone Else Fly You To Nowheresville 
On A Metal Wing 
And 
The Unbeliever's Prayer!?! 

Are You Strong In The Lord Who 
Is 
Mighty To Save You!?! 

Is The All-Knowing God Your Everlasting Strength 
Or
Is Your Finite, Failing, Strength Your False God!?! 

Will Your Present Idea Of Safety And Security 
Secure 
And 
Save You ... Eternally!?!

Please Thoroughly Trust The Lord 
And 
Truly Think About Your Future Truthfully! 
You Only Get One Life To Live
To Accept Jesus Christ The King
As Your Everlasting Portion! 

Peace!

FAITH: You Have The Power!







Faith 
Is 
The Gift That Can Only Come From The Lord Of Life
Jesus Christ The King Of Glory 
But
The Power To Use The Gift Of Faith 
Is 
In Our Hands ... Alone! 

Beloved, 

Think About This Long And Hard! 

We, As Committed Christians, Desire To Overcome Sin: 
Faith 
Is 
The Victory That Overcomes The Sinful World! 

With This In View
There Is Only One Way Forward: 
Exercise
         Work
               Use Your Personal Gift Of Faith 
In Every And All Aspects Of Your Life! 

We Can't See Faith 
But
We See What Faith Can Accomplish! 

We Can See What Sin Does In The Life Of 
One Bereft Of Faith 
And
We Can See The Sinner Being Set Free By Faith! 

Our Master, Savior, Redeemer
Lord, God, And Forever Friend
Gives To Each Of Us A Measure Of His Faith Every Day 
To Be Used For That Day Alone: 
Use It Or Lose It! 

While We Cannot Carry Forward Or Borrow Faith
We Are Well Able To Build Upon Our Faith: 
Experience Builds Confidence 
Exercise Builds Muscle
And 
Muscles Speak Of Strength! 

Let Us, Therefore, Choose To Use Our Faith 
To Strengthen Our Confidence In Christ
To Strengthen Our Confidence In Christ! 
Be Strong In The Lord! 

Peace!
