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!
