HAPPY SABBATH + Read The Word With Wisdom And Understanding!




















Beloved, 

We Have To Dare And Choose To Read The Living Word
With Wisdom And Understanding 
So That The Knowledge Which We Receive Will Bless Us
And 
By Our Desire To Serve Our Lord With Love And Faithfulness
Bless Others! 

How Often Have We Read The Words Of John 12:26
And 
Have Only Accepted Two Things: 
"If Any Man Serve Me
... He Will Be With Me 
... Him Will My Father Honor!?!" 

How Often Have We Ignored The Fact That 
We Are The Lord's Servants 
And
We Are To Follow Him Where He Leads
And 
As He Leads!?! 

The City Of God Whereto We Are Being Led
Is 
Also The City Of Life, Love, Gold, Beauty, Abundance
And 
The Craved Joy And Perpetual Peace! 

Why Then, Dear Ones
If We Have Jesus Who Is Our Everything
Who Will Give To Us All Things
Are We Choosing To Follow The Famous, Fabulous
And 
Known-Foolish Greedy Ministers Of 
The Other Gospel Of Another Jesus 
Who Preach Unrestricted Prosperity Now
Ungodly Power Here
And 
Unrestrained Passion Anyhow!?! 

Let's Choose To Learn From The Lesson Of 
The Rich Young Ruler 
Who Turned Away From The Eternity Of Bliss 
To, Instead, Love-Up His Money-Bags 
And
Despise His Brethren Of The Poor-Man Class 
Whose Care By Him, In Jesus Christ's Holy Name
Would Have Blessed Him For All Eternity! 

Let's Not Get Ahead Of Ourselves 
Or Be Beside Ourselves! 

We Need Our Lord Jesus 
To Get To The Father 
To Be Honored By The Father! 

Self-Serving Is Satanic! 

The Sure Pay-Day 
Comes After The Honest Work-Day! 

Let's Humbly Follow Our Jesus ... In Love! 

Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH + MAKING THE CHOICE: Heaps Of Cash OR Hope For Heaven!?!






Of What Are You Made!?! 
... And ... 
Is What You Are Made Of Causing You 
To Respond To The Call Of The Master For Good Or For Ill!?! 

Beloved, 

The Sun, The Son, Shines Upon The Good And The Evil 
And 
The Outcome For Both Is As Different As Night Is From Day! 

If You Place A Candle In The Sun
The Candle Melts! 
If You Place Soap In The Sun
The Soap Hardens! 

Why The Divergent Response!?! 
Is There Favoritism Involved!?! 
No! 

When We Are Seeking After Christ 
And 
His Righteousness 
With The Desire To Be Like Christ
Willing To Embrace Him And His Ways
We Willingly Give Up All That Defiles Us 
Or Weighs Us Down 
Or Stops Us From Being Free In Jesus! 

When We Want The Lord's  Blessings And Benefits 
Minus The Trials, Tests
And 
Overcoming Temptations 
Even Unto Getting Rid Of Inappropriate Associations
Bad Habits, Attitudes, And Ideas
And 
Unprofitable Ideals
We Become Inured, Hardened, To The Truth! 

Like The Rich Young Ruler
We Turn Away From The Master Who Loves Us 
And 
Return To Our Treasures
- Which Will Turn To Dust
And Testify Against Us In The Judgment - 
Because 
That Is What We Choose To See
Choose To Acknowledge
Choice To Desire! 

Short-Cuts Are Usually Long 
And 
The Quick Way To Riches 
Is 
Usually The Leisurely Path To Damnation!

Set Sights Secure Seats: 
Of What Material Are You Constructing Your Long Home!?! 

Jesus Christ, Alone
Can Change The Heart Of Stone Into The Heart Of Flesh 
So Let Us Dare To Let Him Make Us Anew This Very Day
The Day Of Salvation! 
Please Do Not Harden Your Heart!

Going To Almighty God's Heaven
The Long Home Of The Eternally Blessed
Is
A Personal Choice! 
Please Choose To Cooperate With Christ! 
Peace!
