Is Your Presence A Beautiful Present!?!

Is Your Presence A Beautiful Present 

Or Is It A Funeral Pyre!?! 

Is Your Presence A Gift Of God 

Or A Thorn Branch From King Fraud!?! 

Beloved, 

Have You Ever Heard These Expressions Spoken About Anyone 

Or, I Hope Not, Have Ever Heard Them Spoken About Yourself: 

He Could Make A Rock Cry! 

She Could Suck The Air Out Of A Room! 

She Always Looks Like She Bit Into A Lemon! 

Or, He Brings His Own Weather With Him!?! 

Dear Ones, 

There Is Also The Expression Which Says That 

When You Laugh, The World Laughs With You

But When You Cry, You Cry Alone! 

The Question Is: 

How Do We, Or How Are We To Stand In All Of This!?! 

Let's Go Back To The Point Of Beginning And Remember That 

We Are Called The Children Of God 

And, As Such

We Should Be Light And Salt 

Aka The Gift Of God To Mankind! 

We Are Not To Walk Around Grinning Inanely 

Like We've Lost Our Minds 

Nor Are We To Walk Around Like We Have No Hope 

And Are Trying To Make Others To Be As We Have Become! 

Beloved, 

Jesus Christ Has, In Mercy, Given Us Hope, Help, And Healing Now, 

And Then 

Heaven At The Last Trumpet To Look Forward To! 

Please Let Us Endeavor From This Day Forward 

To Remember Whose We Are

Why We Are Here

What We Are To Accomplish

And 

Where We Are Headed! 

Plan Your Work And Work Your Plan 

As, When, Where, And How The Lord Leads You! 

You Are Not Alone! 

Look Up To Jesus Now! 

Peace!

There Is No Wrong In Right Living!

 

Beloved, 

Rejoice! 

The Fact That The Creator, Our Savior And Redeemer

Is 

Willing To Try Us, To Test Us

To See If We Are Worthy To Be Forever Members Of 

The Family Of Almighty God 

Should Cause Our Joy In Jesus To Bubble Up And Over-Flow! 

Dear Ones, 

When You Think Of The Tests Of This Life 

As You Would A Car Being Test-Driven 

To See If It Checks All Of The Boxes On Your Deal-Breaker List

You Will Lovingly Understand 

Totally Appreciate

And 

Willingly Accept That The Way Of The Lord Is Perfect 

And

Is An Infinite Blessing Upon You! 

The Lord Knows That Righteousness ... Right Living

Exalts Aka Lifts Us Up ... To Him

And 

Only Those Who Humbly Accept The Call To Rise Up Higher 

To Meet His Known And Unchangeable Standard Of 

Holiness Unto God 

Shall Enter The Holy City Of God! 

Beloved, 

Let's Understand And Never Forget That 

Jesus Christ Died To Save Us From Our Sins 

And 

No One Choosing A Life Of Wickedness And Violence 

Will See Him In Peace! 

Almighty God's Law Is Immutable

His Love For Us Is Everlasting

His Hatred Of All Sin Is Inviolable

And 

His Desire To See Us, His Children, Enter His Haven Of Rest Is Infinite! 

By The Way, Our God, The Almighty God

Equips Us To Accomplish All That He Asks Of Us! 

We Are Not Alone! 

Keep Pressing On! 

Peace! 

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Don't Be Blind To The Light Or Deaf To The Message!

 

Since Light, Physical Or Spiritual, Is There ... Is Here

To Show Us The Safe Way To Walk

Why Would We Choose To Be Blind To The Light 

And 

Prefer To Walk In Darkness That Leads To Death!?! 

Since The Lord Jesus Has Given Us His Living, Holy Word 

As A Message Of Salvation With Its Attending Call To Repentance

Why Would We Choose To Ignore, Reject, Reinterpret

Or 

Refuse That Message Which Is Truth That Saves!?! 

Beloved, 

Our Blessed Jesus 

Is 

Our Only Savior And Our Only Healer

And 

The Onus, Duty, Responsibility ... Burden ... Is Upon Us 

To Choose To Accept The Unspeakable Gift That 

Is 

Laid Out Before Us From The Hand Of Him Who Is Our Provider! 

Dear Ones, 

When The Lord Of Life Says To Do "It" 

Do It! 

When The Lord Of Love Says "Go!" 

Get To Stepping! 

When The Lord Calls Your Name

He Is Personally Calling You So Answer! 

Our Salvation Is Free And Available 

And

Our Healing Is Free And Efficacious! 

The Lord Is Not Deceitful 

And 

Neither Should We Be 

When We Accept His Healing And His Salvation

Nor When We Offer Up Our Praises For His Bountiful Blessings! 

The Lord Jesus, The Truth

Is 

Our Light And Our Salvation

And 

Our Only Way Home To Our Father's Home On High! 

Please, Beloved, Accept And Act On The Message

And 

Walk In The Living Light That Leads To Everlasting Life

And

Joyfully Praise Almighty God 

From Whom All Of Our Blessings Continually Flow! 

Peace! 

HAPPY SABBATH + "That's My Story And I'm Sticking To It!?!"

 

Beloved, 

Are You Amongst Those Who Love To Use That Catch-Phrase 

"That's My Story And I'm Sticking To It!" 

Until 

You Are Caught Dead To Rights 

Aka Found To Be A Liar By Plain Proof!?! 

Shouldn't We As Committed To Christ Christians Know That 

Unrepentant Liars Are Denizens Of The Dominion Of The Damned 

Who Will Not Be Permitted To Enter The Haven Of Rest!?! 

Dear Ones, 

Let It Not Be Found Amongst Us That 

Our Default Position 

Is 

To Lie For Fun, Fame, Fortune, And Friends! 

Do Not Deceive Yourself Into Believing That 

Short-Term Advantage Is Best Acquired By The Lie 

Which Is The Language Of Satan! 

Also, Do Not Indulge That Devilish Preference 

To Be Comforted With A Lie 

Rather Than To Be Hurt By The Truth! 

Brethren Beloved, 

Think Long And Hard

And Long Again 

And 

Plead With The Lord For Help 

Before 

You Hot 'n Sweaty Lustfully Decide To Offend Almighty God 

By Telling The Euphemistic White Lie Of Convenience That 

Greases Satan's Putrid Palms! 

Please, I Beseech Us All

Dare To Speak The Hard Truth At All Costs 

Because 

Jesus Christ Is The Truth 

And 

What Is Of Him Lasts Forever! 

The Truth Saves! 

Live In And For The Truth 

So That At The Appointed Time 

You Will Rise Up To Forever Live 

With Jesus Christ Our God And King! 

Peace!

HOW DO YOU STAND: Standing On OR Standing Up On ... The Promises Of Almighty God!?!

What Is The Point Of Being Given A Promise 

And 

Not Being Bold Enough To Remind The Person Of Their Exact Words 

At The Time When The Receipt Of The Benefits Of Said Promise 

Will Immensely Profit You!?! 

Dear Ones, 

We Have Been Given An Open Invitation 

To Appear Boldly At The Throne Of Grace 

To Obtain Mercy 

And

Grace To Help Us In Our Time Of Need! 

Should We Not Appear Before The Lord's Magnificent Throne 

And 

Awe-Inspiring Glory 

With The Lord's "Yea!" And "Amen!" Promise For The Moment 

Securely Held And Ready To Be Offered Up To The Promise-Keeping God 

Whom We Say And Believe Is Our Everlasting Portion!?! 

Beloved, 

The Promises Of God Given To Us For Our Blessing 

Are Only Of Benefit To Us As We Believe That 

The Giver Is Faithful And True! 

The Promises Given Will Profit Us 

When We Present Them For Settlement 

Like A Check Or A Bearer Bond! 

Be Warned, Though

Don't Ask For A Promise To Be Kept By The Lord Jesus 

When You Are Deliberately Living Contrary To The Will Of Almighty God! 

The Lord Jesus Will Never Fatten You For Satan To Feast Upon Because 

Our God, Holy

Is 

Neither Deceitful ... Nor A Liar! 

Choose To Believe The Lord's Word 

And 

Dare To Present It To Him! 

Bring Your Dirt, Your Trouble

Your Trial

And 

Your Test Or Torment! 

Let Your Request Be Known ... By Faith! 

Believe You Will Receive Your Request 

According To The Father's Will And Way 

And

Pray Without Ceasing! 

The Character Of Christ Is Our Guarantee: 

"Cash In" Your Promise Today! 

Peace!

Jesus Christ's Costs Infinitely Profits Us!

Beloved, 

Pray Without Ceasing! 

The God Whom We Serve 

Is 

The Holy God Who Cannot Lie 

Or Stretch Truth 

Or Make Truth Turn Corners 

Because 

Such Dank Doings Are Not A Part Of His Character! 

He Is The God Of Grace! 

I Quite Like The Expression Which Accrues To Our Eternal Benefit: 

We Receive God's Riches At Christ's Expense! 

We Are Blessed! 

Christ's Costs Infinitely Profits Us! 

Dear Ones, 

The Fairy Tale Says: 

New Lamps For Old! 

Don't Believe The Hype: 

Stick With The Historical Faith Tried, True

Tested, Approved, And Proven! 

The Lamp That The Adversary Wants Us To Exchange 

Is 

The Lamp Of The Eternal Word Of Truth Of Almighty God 

Which Gives Us Living Light To Walk In The Ways Of Righteousness! 

The Way Of Right Living Requires Unceasing Prayer: 

It Is Armor! 

The Prayer Of Faith 

In The God Who Says To Pray With Trust, Faith

Is 

Comfort 

Because 

It Is To The Living God 

Who Cares For You, Personally ...  Intimately ... Sacrificially! 

We Are To Seek Almighty God To Find Him! 

We Are To Let Our Requests Be Made Known 

To Him Who Can Fulfill Them! 

We Are To Knock At The Throne Of Grace 

With Intention And Endurance! 

If Your Request Is For Your Good 

And 

For Almighty God's Glory: 

Palms Up! 

Beloved, 

Almighty God's Will Blesses! 

Almighty God's Grace Cures 

And

Our Enduring Faith In Our Dear Savior Jesus 

Opens Wide Heaven's Stores! 

Vigorously Use Your Invitation 

And 

Access Received Through Our Lord Jesus Christ! 

Peace!

Happy New Year 2023 ... In The Lord Jesus Christ's Holy Care!

Have You Ever Considered Why The Lord Stipulated 

The Body And The Body Parts  Mentioned In Deuteronomy 19:21 

And 

What It Means To Us Today!?! 

Life ... For Life! 

Eye ... For Eye! 

Tooth ... For Tooth! 

Hand... For Hand! 

Foot ... For Foot! 

Beloved, 

Let's See!

No Life ... You're Dead 

And 

Dead Men Have No Hope! 

If You Take Someone's Life

You Rob That Dear Someone Of Hope

Of A Future Better State! 

Let's Not Talk About Fate! 

That Person Was A Fatality! 

You Take One Eye And You Unbalance A Person: 

Two Eyes Make Your Circle Of Sight Complete! 

Having Only One Eye Gives A Person A Blind Spot 

And 

They Are Therefore Hindered In Their Walk! 

If You Take A Man's Front Tooth Without Permission ... By Force

You Put A Gap In His Smile

A Lisp In His Speech

And 

A Pain In His Mouth

And 

You Hinder Him In His Eats

And 

You Make Him Self-Conscious, A Spectacle

And 

In The Prize For Appearance

You've Got Him Well And Truly Beat! 

You Take A Man's Hand: 

How Much Work Can He Do!?! 

You Take A Man's Leg: 

In A Battle For Life, What Help Can He Give!?! 

Dear Ones, 

That Is The Minute! 

Now Let's See The Picture Grand!

A Man With These Physical Defects Would Not Be Able 

Before The Lord In Service In The Sanctuary To Stand! 

Remember!

Without Spot! 

Without Blemish! 

On The Other Side

It Is Better To Be Blind And Saved Into The Living Kingdom! 

Your Eye Guides You In Your Direction 

So If You Have A Wayward Eye

It Is Better To Do Away With It 

And 

Be Saved And Blessed

Than To Be Wayward 

And 

Be Eternally Lost! 

It Is Also Better To Lack A Hand Or Foot 

And 

Be Saved Into The Living Kingdom! 

Brethren Beloved,

Your Hand Touches The Thing That Tempts 

Or 

Throws Away All That Would The Body Temple Defile! 

Your Feet Take You ... Away To Sin And Away From Good 

Or

To The Kingdom Of The Blessed 

As You Choose To Do The Good And Right! 

We Each Have Eyes, Ears

A Nose, A Mouth, A Heart

Hands And Feet

And 

A Brain To Make It All Go

So Please Listen To Me I Beg, Plead, And Beseech

And 

Make Your Calling And Election Sure:

Unsanctified Bodies 

Shall Not To Holy Heaven Go! 

Walk Holy, Wise, And Undefiled! 

Peace! 

 

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: There Will Always Be Change!

Old Year, New Year, We Do It Time And Again! 

The One Thing That Is Constant Is That 

There Will Always Be Change! 

There Is No Recycle, Rinse, And Reuse 

Because 

The Changing Scenes Of Life In Time Are Inevitable

And That, Beloved

Is The Great Good News! 

Brethren Beloved, 

The Lord Of Life Is Soon Coming 

And 

Of This We Are Assured! 

We Don't Know The Day Or The Hour 

So Into A False Sense Of Security 

Please Do Not Be Foolishly Lured! 

We Have A Work To Do For Our Master

And 

A Work To Do On Our Selves

So Let Us Be About Our Business 

And 

Not Be Drooling About The Merchants' Store Shelves! 

Open The Good Book 

And 

Continue To Work On Character-Building 

And 

Give The Adversary No Chance Upon Our Names 

In Satanic Revelry To Go A-Prancing! 

The Savior Is Waiting For Us 

To Moment By Moment Answer His Salvation Call 

So That We May Wash Away Forever 

The Stench And Stain Of Adam's Fall! 

Dear Ones, 

We Are Loved With An Everlasting Love 

So Let Us Align Our Future With The Lord Of Love 

So That Our Living Estate Will Be 

Our Hand In The Hand Of Him Who Alone Can Take Us 

To The Glorious Courts In Heaven Above! 

Be Faithful! 

Be Obedient! 

Be Enduring! 

Be Blessed

And 

Be At Peace 

In, For, And With Almighty God's Unfailing Love! 

HAPPY SABBATH + Walk By Unfailing Faith In Our Lord Jesus!

Fear Of The Unknown On A Known-Dying Earth 

Will Cost The Fearful And Unbelieving Their Purchased Seat

At The Table Of The Everlasting Father 

In The Living Kingdom Of The Eternally Blessed! 

Beloved, 

We As Professedly Committed Christians 

In The Cause Of Our Savior-Redeemer, Jesus Christ The King

Must Continually Walk By Unfailing Faith In Our Lord Jesus! 

We Must Not, We Cannot, Live Fearfully And Fretfully 

By Lying Eyesight! 

Dear Ones, 

Our Lord Jesus 

Is 

Creator And King

Redeemer And Friend

And 

Where The Word Of The Holy King Is Given

Believed

And 

Acted Upon

There Is Liberty! 

We Who Believe

Trust And Obey

And 

Endure ... Working Our Daily Gift Of Unfailing Faith

May Live Peacefully In The Midst Of Turmoil, War, And Strife! 

We May Also Rest Easy In The Certain Knowledge That 

Our Lord Jesus Is Our Shepherd

Our Strength

And 

The Refuge Wherein We Find Safety 

As Long As We Choose To Abide

- To Stay Sheltered And Protected - 

Under His Wings

In His Arms

Within His Hedge Of Protection

In His Covert 

Where Nothing Dirty, Defiling, Nor Damnable May Reside! 

Beloved, 

Believe, Honor, Trust, Worship

Give Thanks

Offer Up Your Prayers

And 

Sing Praise In The Knowledge That 

Our King In Zion Reigns And Rules

And

We Wholly Belong To Him! 

Be Hopeful! 

Be Prayerful! 

Be Vigilant

And 

Be Blessed In Jesus' Name!

Fear The Holy God! 

Peace!

Don't Tempt The Living God!

Beloved, 

Be Very Careful About Who ... And What 

You Permit To Become The "Light" 

The Be All-End All Of Your Life And Living! 

Dear Ones, 

The Lord Has Made It Abundantly Clear That 

He Owns Everything! 

He Has Also Made It Clear That 

He Will Give Us Everything ... Everlasting! 

Did He Not Give Us His Only Begotten Son 

To Be Our Everlasting Portion!?! 

If We Look At The Lives Of 

Prophet Balaam, King Saul, And King Ahab

We Will See And Know 

Understand And Accept That 

Foolishness Isn't Sense

Being Self-Willed Is Silly

Disobedience Is Disastrous

And 

Playing Dead To Right Living Aka Righteousness

In The Presence Of The Life-Giver

To See What Kind Of Funeral You Are Going To Receive 

Is 

Seriously Asinine! 

Just As We Know That Holy Angels Minister 

To Us Who Are To Be Inheritors Of Jesus Christ's Free To All Salvation

There Are Fallen Angels, Evil Spirits, Demons

Who Take Malicious Pride In Encouraging The Disobedient 

To Buy Materials And "Aiding" Them In Constructing 

The Last Comfortable Couch They Will Ever Lie Upon 

Not That They Will Know It! 

Beloved, 

Be Wise For Your Own Self! 

Don't Tempt The Living God 

Who Can Destroy You Body And Soul In Hell! 

The Lord Has Promised Us Things That 

Man's Eyes Have Never Seen

Nor Man's Ears Have Ever Heard Spoken About 

So Let Us Not Seek Our Own Way

Walk In Our Own Will

Or Satisfy Ourselves Through Sin 

By Willful, Knowing, Disobedience! 

Please Give Your All To And For Christ Jesus: 

Obedience Truly Pays! 

Peace!

Where Is Our Confidence In Christ!?!

Brethren, 

Be Not Afraid To Use Your Words

- The Words Of Our Lord Jesus -

With Confidence, Caring, And Compassion! 

How Is It That Bold Sinners, Idolaters, Deceivers

Users, Abusers, Mockers, And The Scorners Of 

All Things Holy, Good, Clean

And 

Perfect To Save Our Souls From Sin, Self

Death, The Grave, And Certain Hell 

Use Their Unwise Words With Pointed, Practiced Precision!?! 

Christians, What Is Our Problem!?! 

Where Is Our Holy Boldness!?! 

Where Is Our Confidence In Christ 

Who Has Called Us To Service

Equipped Us For Our Various Assignment

And 

Is Accompanying Us Into The Lions' Dens

The Fiery Furnaces

And 

The Enemy Encampments!?! 

Is The Damned Destroyer Stronger Than Our Creator-Savior!?! 

Is The Lord's Peace Less Than The Liar's War!?! 

Dear Ones, 

We Are Travelling Citizens Of 

The Kingdom Of The Eternally Blessed 

And 

We Are Truly Nearing Our Forever Home! 

This, Therefore, Is Not The Time 

To Be Bar-Room, Kitchen-Counter

Politically-Correct, Kissing-Cousins Friends With The World 

To Offend And Be Enemies Of Our Blessed Jesus 

Who Alone Saves! 

Let's Get In ... And Do Our Work! 

Let's Tell The Gospel Story 

And 

Get Out Of Where We're Not Welcomed

And 

Let's Go Up To Glory As Obedient And Faithful Stewards! 

Let's Bless Others With The Lord's Wonderful Words Of Life! 

Peace! 

HAPPY SABBATH + Don't Let Satan Gaslight You!

 

Beloved, 

We Should Know That In The Household Of Faith 

There Is No Such Thing As Participation In "Borderline" Sin! 

We Know That This Is So 

Because 

We Are Commanded To Abstain, To Shun

To Stay Away From Anything That Has The Appearance

The Look, The Image

The Stamp Of Evil, Of Sin! 

Dear Ones, 

There Is An Old Saw Which Says: 

"Play With The Kitty

And

Know That You Will Get Scratched!" 

Kitty Or Catty, They Both Have Claws! 

By Now We Should Know That Satan, The Originator Of Sin

Is 

A Gaslighting Specialist 

Who Would Have Us Believe Other Than What We Know To Be 

The Saving Truth! 

Sin Destroys! 

Sin Is An Aphrodisiac 

Aka One Sin Is Never Enough! 

Borderline Sin Which Is Sin

Is Like

Knowing You Cannot Have Chocolate Cake 

And 

Choosing To Make And Bake One 

And 

Cutting It Up And Giving Away All The Slices 

And Then

Eating The Crumbs And Licking The Cake-Plate With Relish! 

Abstinence 

Is 

A Voluntary Act With Moral And Eternal Implications: 

It Pleases Our Lord Jesus Christ! 

We Are To Abstain From Sin 

And 

Everything That Even Remotely Looks Like Sin 

And Instead 

Joyfully Embrace Christ's Free-To-All Salvation! 

Let Us Not Fool Ourselves! 

Eating The Crumbs Of What Will Kill You 

Will Kill You Just As Dead! 

Be Warned ... 

Self-Satisfaction

Sacrifices

Salvation

On

The Altar Of Sin! 

Let Us Fervently Pray For The Holy Spirit's Help 

To Keep Ourselves Firm In Our Resolve 

To Abstain From Anything That Looks Like Evil, Like Sin, Today! 

Peace! 

HAPPY SABBATH + ASK!

As Christians

We Should Always Seek Knowledge! 

As Committed To Christ Christians

We Should Know To Ask - With Fervent Prayers - For Help 

To Diligently Seek After The Desires Of A Heart For Christ 

With Unwavering Faith

And 

To Knock - With Glorious Praise Known True - Upon 

The Throne Of Grace Of The Good And Kind King 

Who Invites His People, His Children

To Let Their Requests Be Made Known Unto Almighty God! 

Beloved, 

We Who Are The Apple Of His Eye 

Have The Open Ear

The Strong And Extended Everlasting Arm

And 

The Shelter That Is The Covert Of His Wings 

At Our Full Disposal! 

What A Mighty God We Serve 

Who Has The Unchallenged Power To Save 

And 

The Sovereign Will To Seal All Who Are His Very Own! 

Oh, That We Would Truly, Humbly, Use 

Our Open Access To Divinity 

To Close Ourselves Off From The Indignity That Is Sin 

Which Leads To The Calamity That Is Damnation! 

Dear Ones, 

ASK Aka Accept Sin's Killer 

In The Glorious Presence Of Jesus Christ Our Lord! 

ASK Aka Adore Salvation's King 

In The Divine Presence Of Our Beloved Shiloh

The Prince Of Peace! 

We Have Divine Access 

Which Allows Us To Have And To Hold 

That Which Is Holy And Undefiled! 

Ask, In Accord With The Will And Ways Of Our Heavenly Father

For Your Blessing Which Brings No Sorrow With It ... Right Now! 

Peace!
