DOUBT DESTROYS: Look Up To Jesus Christ With Hope ... And Live!

We Love To Sing "All The Way My Savior Leads Me!" 

But

In The Midst Of Daily Trial And Constant Temptation

Necessary Test And Internal Torment 

We Suddenly Forget Who Is The One We Call Savior

And 

The Prophesied And Blood-Promised Destination 

To Which We Are Being Led! 

Beloved, 

Satan The Adversary Is The Liar: 

Jesus Christ Our Savior, Our Creator

The Holy God

The Only Wise God

Is 

The Truth! 

We, Even When We Have Been Unfaithful To The Faithful One

And 

Have Gone A-Whoring After 

The Truthless And Useless Things Of This Life

Have Abundantly Seen The Providences

The Wonderful Provision And Saving Graces Of 

Our Blessed Jesus! 

This Present Time, Dear Ones

Is 

Not The Time To Become Faint-Hearted

Denying

And 

Doubtful About The Goodness Of Our God! 

I Pray That We Will Stand With The Brave 

Knowing Jesus 

And 

Telling The World That It Is He, Alone

Who Always Saves! 

Doubt Destroys! 

Look Up To Jesus With Hope ... And Live!

WALK IN WISE WAYS: Don't Be A Tormented Loser!

A True Christian Cannot Be A Christian In Name 

And

A Liar 

And 

A Thief By Nature: 

Our Walk Must Match Our Talk! 

The World Should Be Able To Set Its Clocks By Our Word 

And 

Know That It Is True 

Because 

They Know That We Are With Jesus Christ The Righteous

And 

Are Therefore Known Not To Be Dirty In The Dark 

And

Are Clocked As Uncompromising As Regards The Truth! 

Simply Put, Brethren Beloved

Our Morning Aka Daylight Words 

And 

Our Night-Time Aka Dark-Night Works 

Are Measurable On The Same Scale Of 

Honesty And Integrity! 

Beloved, 

No Matter What The World Is Offering To You 

Or 

Threatening Against You

Never Take The Low Road

The Path Of Least Resistance

Or 

The Way Of Comfort And Convenience! 

The Facts Stand ... 

Telling Lies For Pleasure And Profit 

And

Being A Thief Of Things, Property Or Reputation

Marks One As Being Unfaithful To Our Dear Savior

Unworthy To Bear The Family Name 

And

Unfit For Promotion To The Eternal Kingdom! 

Choice And Chance ... 

Let Us Choose To Be Contented In Christ Always! 

Let Us Choose To Use Our Opportunities Now

- While There Is Still Time -

To Get Rid Of All Cultivated And Known Bad Habits 

And 

Tendencies To Sin That Easily Beset Us

Which Will Cost Us Our Name 

And

Our Gifted Claim To The Living Kingdom! 

Remember, Remember

Don't Ever Forget ...

Liars Lose 

And 

Thieves Are Tormented: 

Don't Be A Tormented Loser! 

Live For Jesus Christ The King

And 

Walk In Wise Ways!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Profitable, Profitable, Unprofitable!

My Master was a harsh man
I know he did not like me at all - I was afraid of him
He was going on a long journey
And he called us managers together and
Gave out Investment Packages
As each had "ability" to "chew":

He gave his Favorite One 5
He multiplied 5 by 2

He gave his Stoolie One 2
He multiplied 2 by 2

He gave me One! ONE!
I steupse ... and
I buried it and stepped on the spot with my shoe!

But ... I Am Getting Ahead of The Tale!

Well, de Master dun gone 'long 'bout 'e business!

Party Tiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiime!

After All ...

What could I do with a useless portfolio
Everybody knew that in that environment you had to have assets to survive
And Bossman giving me nay-nay investment
Ensured to him I would not thrive!

... Sooo, I "Helped" It Along!

I did didley squat!

And Here's Why:

Bossman was one of those you hear talked of all the time!
The ones who get gain ... but not by putting anything in
And they does pick up all kinds of profits
From where they had not been even investing in!

Why should I waste my valuable time
My beautiful, bountiful, gray matter
Working on what I couldn't foresee profit from?

Why should I even go to the profiteer bankers
And just get back a penny on a big-able pound?!

A Loooooooong Time Passed ...

When I Tell You Long, I's Mean Real Long!

No one was watching me, so
I did what I felt like!
I ran with The Howlies
And I played well into The Night
And on my last night returning what I did behold
Told me a story
Of life in The Hot Coals!

Well, I am now quite ashamed to tell you
Them others did real good for themselves
But that I had seen no point to expending my best effort
On something I knew could would not pay!

I Was Wrong!
Dead Wrong!
ETERNALLY WRONG!!

Well, when His High and Mightiness 
The Master  a/k/a Bossman 
Returned from his Journey
He started settling accounts
From highest to lowest, and
He saw wonderful investment growth!
Amazing Investment Growth ... from He Favorites!

I call them his Favorites because he had given them multiples of the best investments possible!
They were sure to succeed!

Riiigghht?!?

But Me ... Well!!

Of all people, HE called Me, ME, Lazy!
I worked hard at all kinds of programs
And projects and initiatives for him
Not that they were productive ... but I worked!

How 'bout some kinda credit, huh?!

Really!??!

Well, it was like ...
Aaahhhmmm ...
Alright, I kinda, sorta, maybe, probably, thought of and almost tried, and pretended to work ...

Well ...

He called Me Lazy!
He called Me Unfaithful!
And, to top it all off
He called his guards - them big scary ones from WingCo Corps
Who picked ME Up
By the scruff of my neck
And threw me out of the house, and off the premises - it was dark out there!

And Now ...?

And now I have to spend Big Time with
Wicked McGruff
Who tell me in the first place that The Bossman
Ain't had no Snuff!!

AND NOW, I CAN NEVER GO BACK
To T'Absolute Best Master 
I ever hadddd!!

... I can never darken His Door ever, ever, ever again ...

All those years ...
Gone ...
For nuffin' ...
Forever ...
sni .. sni ... sssSnnniiifff ...
Boo hoo hoo!
If onlyyyyyy!
I should haaaave!
I could haaaave!
But, but, butIdidn't!!!
Lordhavemerrrrrrrrrrcyyyyy!
Gimmeachance, gimmeachance!
aaaaaiiiiii, aaaaaiiiiii, aaaaaiiiiiiiiii!!


Dear Ones,

We cannot fool God!

He is All-seeing!

He is All-knowing, and

He IS Ever Present!

He has no accountant, and He keeps perfect records!

What The Lord has given unto you is yours to do with as you see fit!

Your gifts are a Trust! 

Do what you will but, remember, there is a time of accounting!

Saying that God plays favorites and gives other people better gifts that what has been given unto you will not hold water, or carry weight!

Each of us has gifts, and if those gifts are exploited for the Glory and Elevation of The True and Living God, when He settles His Accounts with us, His Stewards, we will all be rewarded based upon what we have done to bless God and others!

Do not blame God for neither your mercenary nor impecunious use of His Blessings.

He gave you the best "deal," and He is fully expecting R.O.I!

Since we cannot not pay Caesar i.e., Death and The Tax Man, take time to pay God who gives to All liberally! 

We are not our own property, and God does not require usury from us!

Remember: 

Cheap Service 
Prejudiced Service
Pretentious Service

and

Service Lacking in Service 

all equal 

No Service!

Please Pray ... and Pass The Word Along!

MARANATHA!
