There Are No Shortcuts To Glory!






Beloved, 

We Are Warned And We Are Encouraged: 

Godly Lives Lived In The Lord Christ 
Call Forth Persecution 
And
Staying The Course With The Lord Christ 
Leads To The Crown Given By The Lord Christ! 


There Are No Shortcuts To Glory! 


We Need To Know The Living God That We Believe In
What It Is That We Are Striving For
The Tricks Of The Trade Of Our Adversary, Satan
And 
The Ways And Methods Of Our Savior-King
Jesus Christ The Lord
Our Great Example! 

Let Us By Grace Through Faith 
Never ... Ever
Seek To Battle Our Known Enemies In Our Own Strength
Using Their Tactics 
And 
Following Their Rules! 


The Lord Jesus Christ
Is
Our Shepherd
Our Refuge
Our Strength!


We Are Christians
Servants Of The Eternal God
Children Blessed 
And 
Diligent Students Of The Living Word! 

Our Enemies Will Be Many 
And 
Their Tactics Truly Evil 
So Let Us ... As Missionaries For The Lord Christ 
Become Humbly Determined
Enduringly Committed
And 
Faithfully Striving For The Prize That 
Is 
The Upward Call 
While Maintaining A Light Hold 
On The Things Of This World! 

Covet No Man's Gold, Silver Or Raiment 
And
Choose ... At All Costs 
To Permit The Holy Spirit Of Truth 
To Teach, Guide 
And 
Chide Aka Correct You 
As You Walk Toward Our Forever Home! 

Truth Wins! 

Peace!
