How Far Will Our Love For The Lord Christ Reach!?!

How Does One Go 
From
Knowing And Doing Truth
To
Ignoring And Stifling Truth
For
The Comfort Of Convenience
Or
The Convenience Of Comfort!?!



I Am Asking My Self A Couple Of Questions:

Would You, Dear Self
For A Loaf Of Stale Bread
Deny The Blessed God Of Creation
Who Is Forever Living 
But
Because Of Your Personal Sin
Was Once Dead!?!

Would You, Dear Self
Doubt The Living Word Of Truth
To Punch A Time Card
And 
Enjoy A Sea-Of-Sin
- Paid For With My Christ-Purchased Soul -
Winter Or Summer Vacation!?!

And I Am Talking To My Self ...

Dear Self,
You Know Of Surety
The Word Of The Eternal God Is True!
You Have Been Forewarned That
Man's Conscience Will Be Forced If He Wants To Eat Bread!
You Have It On Everlasting Authority
That What Was Shall Be
And
What Is Has Been
So, Will You Be Afraid Of Lying, Dying, Man
And 
Of The Savior, The Redeemer, The Forever Friend
Indulge Sinful, Death-Dealing
Can't-Bless-A-Brother Doubt!?!

Need I Remind You, Dear Self, That ...

When You Were Lost
The Good Shepherd Found You! 

When You Knew Pain
The Great Physician Healed You!

When You Knew Sorrow
The Holy Spirit Comforted You! 

When You Were In Danger
The Holy Angels Protected You!

When You Had No Hope
The Lord Of Life Gave You Daily Faith!

When You Were Condemned
The Savior Gave You Of His Free Grace!

And, Now ...

Now That We Are Nearing Home, Dear Self
Will You Turn Aside To Fables
Trusting In Lying Eyesight
Believing The Corrupt Words Spoken 
Into Your Stopped-Up Ears
Speaking Truth In Unrighteousness
Walking Not To Speak Peace But To Start War
Wearing Your Own Idea Of Christ's Righteousness
And
Lifting Up Willful Self By The Hardness Of An Unregenerated Heart!?!

Is Heaven With Jesus Christ Really Your Home!?!

Do You Love Him Who Loves And Cares Sacrificially For You 
And 
Purchased Pardon For Your Soul
Or
Does Your Love Reach Only For  
Who May Provide Your Body With Cassava Pone!?!

Would You Really Choose The Convenience Of The Corporeal Doubt
Instead Of The Tested And Tried Eternal Faith Of Jesus!?!

Dear Self,
What Now, Says You!?!
Can The Lord Christ, Returning, Count On You!?!
