VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: We Are Not Alone! Thank You, Lord Jesus!

Why Would We, As Committed To Christ Christians, Go To Our God

The Living Holy God

The Creator-God

And 

Ask Him To Chase Down, Arrest, And Destroy The Storms In Our Lives 

When They Are Permanent Subjects Of 

And 

Entirely Answerable To Him Always!?! 

Aren't They  Always In His Sight And Ever In His Presence!?! 

Beloved, 

Do You Believe, Honor, Trust, Worship, And Obey The Lord 

Or

Do You Disparage, Doubt, Disbelieve, And Disclaim The Lord!?! 

Hint, Hint ... 

We Cannot Straddle The Fence 

And 

Believe  ... And Doubt

And 

Honor  ... And Disparage The Lord! 

Remember, Remember

Don't Ever Forget ...

We Cannot Get Sweet Water ... And Bitter Water 

From The Same Source! 

Dear Ones, 

Being A Christian Is Both Simple And Profound: 

Accept The Gift

Take Your Position

And 

Hold The Line 

Because

The Life Lived For And In And With The Lord Christ 

Cannot Fail! 

The Storm That The Lord Brings You To 

Is

The Storm That By Your Exercised Faith In Him

In His Word

And 

Through His Love For You

He Will Successfully Carry You Through! 

Beloved, 

The Lord Is Not A Loser 

And 

His Love Can't Lie: 

Abide In The Lord Of Life 

And

Live Your Life For The Lord 

So That You Will Enjoy Eternal Life With The Lord! 

Take This To Heart ...

Storms Always Die 

And

Our Savior Ever Lives! 

Peace! 

Tending To Life: Bearing Good Fruit!

There's A Celebrated Expression That Says That 

When Someone Shows You Who They Are

You Should Believe Them! 

The Living Word Of The Eternal God Said It First 

And

Better ... With Fewer Words: 

"You Shall Know Them

By Their Fruits!" 

The Living Word Also Says Plainly That 

You Can't Get Sweet Water 

And 

Bitter Water From The Same Source 

And

You Can't Gather Grapes From Thorn-Bushes! 

If We Still Don't Want To Buy The Free Clue

The Living And Good Unchanging Faithful 

Infallible Word Of Truth Everlasting 

Makes It Perfectly Clear That

"Good Trees Bring Forth Good Fruit!" 

Or Put Another Way

A Corrupt Tree Cannot Bring Forth Good Fruit! 

Beloved, 

Wearing A White Gown To Cover A Black Heart

Singing Sweetly In The Church Choir 

And 

Slithering And Hissing 

Like An Ever Ready To Strike Poisonous Snake 

At All Other Times 

And

Getting "Patients" For Your "Therapy" Business 

By Making People Ill 

Makes You A Servant Of Satan

An Enemy Of Almighty God

And 

The Adversary Of All 

Who Choose Daily To Do What Is Good, Right 

And 

Blessed Forever 

In The Eternal God's Holy Sight! 

A Pig In Pearls Is Still A Pig 

And

An Unrepentant Sinner Singing Psalms 

And 

Preaching Peace 

Is 

Still Lost! 

Dare To Walk In The Ways Of The Lord Jesus Christ

Who Speaks Peace 

And Is

Loving And Kind!

Let Righteousness Be The Hill That 

You Choose, By Faith, To Climb! 

HOPE-LESS: Hope-Field, Hope-Well

Life Being Happy And Beautiful 
Or
Sad And Ugly 
Mightily Depends On Accepting 
And 
Liberally Using That 
Free-To-All Gift From Our Almighty God Called 
Hope! 

Are You Living With Hope!?!

People Are Quick To Talk About Hope-Field
Hope-Well
Hope-Less 
And 
What-Hope
And
Completely Miss The Certain Hope That 
Is 
In Jesus Christ! 

Hope 
Is 
A Field Of Ever-Blooming Flowers 
Near The Hope Well Of Sweet Water Of Truth That 
Instructs Us 
To Hope Less In The Weak Arm That Is Man 
And 
Hope More In The Strong 
And 
Unfailing Arm Of Our Great And Eternal 
Helpful God Of Hope 
Who Sacrificially Loves Each Of Us
Personally And Intimately! 

A Life Lived Without Hope ... Without Christ
Is 
A Personally-Engineered Train-Wreck 
On A Self-Sabotaged Train-Track 
With Satan As The Repair Line-Man! 
Hopeless ... Is Such A Life! 

All Good Gifts 
Are Given By Our Savior Who Says To All: 
Ask ... And Receive! 

Remember, Remember
Don't Ever Forget ...

An Unopened Gift
Is 
Useless! 
An Improperly-Used Gift 
Is 
An Accident Waiting To Happen 
And
The Gift Not Picked Up 
Is 
Not Yours 
And Is 
Forfeited! 

Beloved,

A True Christian Of The Book 
Lives A Hope-Filled Life 
Because 
We Know How The Story 
And
This Life Ends! 

Hope 
Is 
A Living Tree: 

Hope In God 
And 
Live With Joy Everlasting! 

Jesus Christ's Peace

Is 

Perfect And Precious!!!

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!

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!

Unto Everlasting Life

I May By Right In Christ Cross Over!

Lord, 

I Approach Unto You Boldly

Calling Upon The Merits Of The Holy Jesus

Who Took My Death

To Give Me His Life!

Please Accept The Innocent Blood

For

He Who Shed It

IS

The Beloved

The Only Begotten Son

Shiloh, Himself

The Prince Of Peace

The Shepherd Of Rest

In Whom This Believing Soul Is Blessed!

Father,

I Come For My Miracle!

I Am Expecting That Which Is Impossible

To Me And My Kind

And

I Expect It, Lord

Because You Are Almighty God

Faithful Forgiving

Blessing Correcting

Providing Guiding

Unchanging

And

Abiding!

You, Lord, Are My God

And

With A Humble Contrite

And

A Sorrowing-For-Sin Heart

I Seek To Touch The Divine

Who Has Everlasting Love

And

Great Compassion

For Wayward Wandering

Disobedient And Transgression Mankind!

Father,

Take Me By The Hand

And

Show Me Your Ways!

Take Me By My Heart

And

Teach Me The Truth!

Take Me By My Eyes

And

Pry Me Away From The Lusts

That Blind Me To Holy Light

And

Unstop My Itching Ears

And

Heal Them With The Balm Of Gilead!

Place My Feet, Lord

On Straight Paths, Narrow

And

Lead Me To The Green Pasture

Attended By Sweet Water

And

Anoint My Head With The Oil

That Is The Holy Spirit Of Truth

And

Fill My Cup Of Blessing

To Sure Overflowing!

My Mind, Lord 

Is Fixed

On That Place Called Glorious

Because

I Desire To Spend

The Never-Ending Day With You!

I Desire To See You As You Are

And

I Desire To Know You Just As You Know Me!

Until Then, Lord

Help Me To Keep The Song Of The Redeemed

In My Converted-To-Christ Heart! 

Help Me To Keep The Light Of The Glorious City

In My Healed Eyesight! 

Help Me To Hear

And

To Join In The Singing Of The Song Of Jubilee

Sung By The Hearts Of The Faithful

Those Blessed Of The Lord!

We Are The Children Believing!

Remember, Dear Father

The Other Children

In The Various Flocks 

Who Know The Voice Of Jesus Christ

And

Who Are Listening

For That Soft Voice

To Become The Loud Cry

Calling Them Out Of The Confusion

That Is Babylon!

Help Them To Deny The False Prophets

That Preach Lies!

Help Them The Evil One

To Forcefully Deny!

Please, Lord

Continue To Feed Your Children

With Food Suitable

For Their Ages And Stages

And

Ever For Their Spiritual Prosperity

And

Eternal Blessing

And

Let Not The Glitter And The Glamor Of

This Known Dying World

Ever To Us Be Anything But

Fleeting And Undesirable!

Please Let Hope

- Like Freedom In Christ - 

Be Our Song And Our Service

For

We Love You, Lord!

Lead Us Gently, Safely, Home

Even As I Ask These Few Blessings

In The Matchless Name Of

Jesus Christ The King!

Harken, Lord, And Do For Us

What Only The Holy God Can Do

For You Are The Living God

Eternal

Wise

True!

Come Soon!

AMEN.
