Stop Chasing Perfection Of The Man-Made Sort!

 

It Must Be Said: 

We Really Need To Stop Chasing Perfection Of The Man-Made Sort 

Pleasure Derived By Ungodly Means

And 

Prominence To Be Seen And Heard And Cooed Over

And 

Start Studiously Seeking The Savior 

Who Sanctifies Aka Sets Us Apart

And 

Seals And Secures Us To Be Able To Stand Before Him 

In The Heavenly Sanctuary! 

There Is No Profit In Pride! 

Man's Approval Isn't The Same As The Lord's 

And

Man's Arm Is A Poor Weapon In Battle! 

Beloved, 

Self-Serving Sinners May Become Working Saints 

And 

Be Saved 

But

Serving Saints Who Again Become Willing Sinners 

Seeking All-About-Me Success And Temporal Security 

Will Assuredly Be Damned! 

Dear Ones, 

Anyone May Make A Mistake 

But 

When A Mistake Becomes A Deliberate 

And 

Turns Into A Way Of Life

That Is When It Shall Be Said: 

"Christian, We Have A Problem!" 

Please, I Beseech Us All

Do Not Allow The Prideful Idea Of Self-Made 

To Become Your Ideal 

And 

Turn You Into A Cast-Off Cast-Away From The City Of God! 

Pretty Isn't Always Beautiful

Pleasure Isn't Always Sweet

And 

Prominence Isn't Ever Perfection!

Every Man After The Eternal God Should Avidly Seek! 

Our Perfection Comes From Jesus Christ The Lord, Our King! 

Peace!

Vessels Of Honor: Be Ye Clean!

A New And Clean Heart 

And 

A New And Right Spirit 

Are Present And Available Gifts To Us 

From The Eternal God! 

Beloved, 

Why Would You Ever Trust Someone 

Who Encourages You To Live A Life Of Stagnation

In Putrid Pride

Given To Constantly Reinventing Yourself 

To Remain Relevant 

To The Worldly-Wise 

Who Neither Know The Lord Nor Their Own Minds!?! 

Our Lord Christ Calls Us To His Side As We Are 

But

We Cannot Remain In Sin 

In The Holy Presence Of The Glorious Savior! 

We Must And Will Change In The Lord's Sight 

If 

We Are True-Hearted 

And 

Not As The Deceitful Bow 

Which Sends Its Arrows To Everywhere Else

Save Its Known Target! 

There's A Blessing For Us 

Who Choose Not To Walk In The Counsels Of The Ungodly! 

There Is New Life In Christ 

For All Who See Their Need 

And 

Trust Their Savior-Redeemer To Lead

Correct, Protect

And 

Provide For Them

And 

Not Pander To Their Weak Will 

As It Struggles Against Needed Change! 

We Are Called To Be Vessels Of Honor 

To Hold A Heart Like Christ's

And 

The Spirit That Loves Truth 

Which Comes From The Holy Spirit 

Who Leads Us Into All Truth! 

Be Ye Clean: 

Walk In The Newness Of Life!

Peace!

BE A FOR-REAL JESUS-CHRISTAN: Be The "Bible" That People Read With Pleasure!

A Sinner Turned Christian 

Starts With Head Knowledge Of The Lord Christ 

Which Then Becomes Heart Knowledge 

Through The Association That Comes From Obedience, Faith 

And 

Communion 

Aka Prayer And The Reading Of The Living Word 

Aka CommUnIcation! 

It's A Conversation Between You And The Great I AM

The God Of Grace And Glory! 

Beloved, 

Conformity With The Worldly Class 

Excludes Us From The Heavenly Upgrade 

Which Comes Of Us Having Our Minds Be Transformed 

By The Lord Of Love

Who Gives Life! 

Please, I Beseech Us All

Do Not Think That Calling Christ Your King

Singing The Songs Of Zion 

And ... To Be At Earthly Peace

Going Along With The Degenerate Ways Of Unbelievers

Scoffers At Truth

Scorners Of Faith And Belief

And 

Those Who Indulge Gross And Ungodly Practices 

For Temporal Gain

Is 

Going To Get You Through The Pearl Gate! 

If You Are A Jesus-Christian

Be An Earthly-Useful, Heavenly-Minded Christian 

All Day, Every Day ... In Every Way: Don't Play

And

For The Love Of God

Please Stop Going Into The World Acting All Worldly-Wise

To Try To Convert People To Be Christians: 

It Ain't Gonna Work! 

Let Your Lived Life Be The "Bible" That People Read With Pleasure! 

Let Your Words Edify! 

Be The Good Ambassador For Christ! 

Be A Jesus-Christian ... With Your Whole Heart! 

Pursue Peace! 

Stand Up For The Holy God

That You Say That You Believe In

And

State That You Belong To!

Stand Up For Jesus!

Behold Your God!

Behold Your God, Brethren!
He Is Gracious And Merciful!
His Coming To Earth Again!
He Is Bringing His Rewards With Him
And
Lest You Forget
His Work Is Before Him:
His Strange Work!

Exactly What Do You Mean By
"His Strange Work!?!"

Who Is Our God!?!

He Is The Life-Giver!

What Is Our God!?!

He's The Jealous God!

What's He Jealous For Or About!?!

He's Jealous For His Name
His Glory Aka His Character
His Worship
His Praise
And
He Will Not Share What Is His With Another!

I Don't See Anything Strange About That!
Where's The Strange Part!?!

He's Coming To Clean House!
He's Going To Fix 

- Glorify, Immortalize And Make Incorruptible -

And
Retrieve
The Wittingly, Willingly, Wisely
Fallen-On-The-Rock And Broken Faithful
And
He Is Going To Destroy
The Proud, Presumptuous
And
Willingly Sinful Ungodly!

He Is Life

And
It Is Not His Will That Anyone Should Be
To The Eternal Kingdom, Lost!

The Work Of Destruction
Is
The Strange Work!

Forget That!
Tell Me Why Would Anyone Choose To Be Lost!?!

Ah, My Young Friend!
You Have Glommed On 

To The Crux Of The Matter: CHOICE!

Everything That Pertains To Soul Salvation
Is

A Choice!
Everything That Pertains To Soul Damnation
Is 

A Choice!

So What About If I Don't Decide To Make A Choice!?!

That's Not Going To Work In Your Favor!

Huh!?! How So!?!

No Choice Is A Choice
Because
If You Do Not Choose Life
- Stating Clearly Your Position For Life -
You Have Made Your Position Clear That
You Do Not Value:

• The Life You Have
• The Life Promised To Believers
• The Life-Giver
• The Promise Purchased With Innocent Blood

What You're Actually Saying Is That
The Lover Of Your Soul
Your Creator, Savior
Your Redeemer, Friend
Does Not Have ... The Power
And
You're Going To "Trust" Your Future
To Whatever Is ... Out There!

Wait, Wait, Wait!
Let Me Correct Myself!
We Already Know What Is Out There:

• Eternal Life Or Eternal Death
• Jesus Christ Or Satan
• Blessing Or Cursing
• Truth Or Error
• Light Or Darkness
• Confess And Repent Or Hide And Presume
• The Narrow Way Or The Broad Way
• Trust And Obey Or Distrust And Disobey
• Believe And Live Or Disbelieve And Die
• Hope And Glory Or Doubt And Destruction

Those Are Some Serious Options!

As You Can Clearly See
Everything In This Life
Is
Either-Or!
It Is Never
- Nor Will It Ever Be -

Either, Or, Or Or! 

There Are Only Two Positions! 

You're Either With The Lord And Against Satan
Or
You're With Satan And Against God!

If You Don't Say You Position
You've Made Your Decision!

So That's Why The Bible Says That
We Must Confess That Christ Is Lord!

You Only Confess What You Believe To Be Truth Or True!

If You Can't Or Won't Say It
It's Because You Don't Believe It
And
The Lord Has Nothing For Doubters!

Wow!
There Is No Neutrality In The Kingdom Of God!

You've Got It In One!

You Know ... I Like That!
I Really Like That!
It Tells Me Plainly That
We Can Depend On Our Almighty God!

Indeed!

Strong Position, Unshakeable, Firm
Same Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow
He Is The Rock, Never A Worm!

So, Brethren,
How Will You Stand!?!
How Do You Stand!?! 

Will You Look Up To The Lord Christ And Live
Or
Will You Roll With The Changeable Tide
And
On The Broken Barge Delay And Decay
Take The Journey To Destruction
Because
For Your Own Soul's Salvation
You Did Not Care Enough To Choose
Christ's Glory To Share!?!

If You Believe The Word Of God Is True
Preserve Your Integrity
And
Send Your Word To Your God, Holy
As You Stand Up To Be Counted For Jesus Christ The Lord!

There Will Be Precious, Everlasting, Rewards

For The Faithful, Enduring-All Child Of 

The Holy God!

Rejoice In The Lord ... Always!

Almighty God Gives!
Almighty God Takes Away!
Blessed Is The Name Of The Lord!

Father,

We Beseech You

Please Let Your Holy Spirit

Our Crying Souls Fill

So That In Victory

- Over Sin Death And Hell -

In The Great Day Of Abundance

- Glorying In Your Majesty -

Our Then Immortal Spirits

Shall Forever Thrill!

AMEN.

Brethren,

Let's Talk About Joy And Rejoicing

AND

How To Rejoice 
AND
Be Joyful In The Lord Jesus!

First Step:

Be Dissatisfied Living In Sin

AND

Find Contentment In Christ!

Step Two:

Choose Jesus Christ For Joy!

Step Three:

Be Joyful In The Lord!

It Is A Commandment: Obey It!

But How Can I Possibly Rejoice

When I Don't Feel Happy?! 

What Is There To Rejoice Over?! 

Death, Destruction, Carnage 
And Chaos Are Everywhere!

Are You Christians?!

Sure Are, And Glad Of It! 

So What's With The Gloomy Gus Routine?!

How Can We Be Happy

When All The World Is Boldly Wicked Yet ... Sad?!

How Can We Be Joyful

When Satan For Sinners Is Gold

And The Living God Is As A Garment

Useless, Rejected And Old?!

Indulge Me For A Moment

As I Tell You A Truth!

Your "Feelings" About The Situation

Are Not Important!

Is Not Your Faith Anchored In The Holy God?!

We Love The Lord, But ...! 

Let Me Stop You Right There!

"We Love The Lord, But ..."

Is Goat Herd Talk!

How About Saying
With Conviction
"God Loves Us, And ...!?!"

Have You Forgotten:

Rejoice Evermore!

Heaven Is The Storehouse!

Heaven Is Real!

The Lord Will Rejoice Over Us With Singing!

The Lord Has A Thousand Ways To Save ...! 

... I Only Need One!

How Does One Rejoice

When One's Heart Is Breaking?!

How Does One Rejoice

When Peace Of Mind Has The Soul Forsaken?!

Do Christians Live On Fact Or Feeling?!

Is Jesus Christ Real?! 

Shouldn't His Word Supercede What Has You Feeling?!

Do You Trust Truth?!

Are You Living Lie

Or Will You Let The Lord Of Life

Be Your Anchor

AND

In His Eternal Love 
AND
Sure Provision

Be Ever Moored And Satisfied?! 

Let's Get Real Here, Brethren!
The Clock Is Ticking!
Satan Knows It Is Almost Time
For His Final Licking
So He Is Working Overtime
To Turn The Lord's People Into Chickens!

Is He Ever!

Come On, Brethren!
It Is Time To Stiffen Our Spines
In Faith
AND
For Faith 
- Our Living Faith -
In Christ Jesus
Let's Just Set Self Aside
AND

Put The Savior In Front 
Where He Belongs

AND

Look Up

AND

Choose 
- By Working Faith -
To Obey The Written Commands:

• Rejoice Evermore!
• Pray Without Ceasing!
• Bless The Lord! 
• Love One Another! 
• Be Joyful In The Lord!
• Cast Your Cares On The Lord! 
• Lean Not On Your Own Understanding!
• Walk Not In The Counsel Of The Ungodly!
• Deny Self!
• Resist The Devil!
• Trust In The Lord With All Your Strength!
• Wait On The Lord!
• Lean Not To Temptation!
• Rejoice With Those Who Rejoice

AND

While We're At It ...

... Sing A New Song?!

Yes!!
And Remember That
ThatThe Lord Of Creation
Is Our Shepherd
AND
He Saves ... To The Uttermost!

Praise God From Whom all Blessing Flow!

You Know
I Had Gotten Side-Tracked There For A Moment!

Me, Too!

We Must Keep Our Eyes On Our Jesus!

He's Able And Available!

AMEN!!!

G.R.B. & T: Health's Greatest Safeguards

Health's Greatest Safeguards
Are
G. R. B & T.
These Should Be
The Keynotes Of Life
Setting Us Up
Not For A Loss
In The Terminal Fight
BUT
For The Blessed Life
In God's Eternity
Where God 

AND

The Lamb

Are The Light!

Gratitude

To God

Is Paramount!

Rejoicing 

In God's Favor 

Should Hail The Day!

Benevolence 

To Brother-Man
Should Not Be Far Behind 

Nor Forgotten
AND
Trust 

In The Love
AND

Care Of The Great God
Should Open Up
AND
Close Out
Our Every Day

AND

Mark Our Way!

Let Our Hearts Be

In God

Ever Glad!!

There Is A Way
That Seemeth Right To A Man
BUT
Therein Is The Way To Destruction
AND
All Who Walk Right
In Their Own Eyesight
Shall Forever
Always
Be Involved In 

A Right-To-Life Fist-Fight!

Let No Man Kill Your Hope Tree
Nor Remove Pages
From Your Praising-God Journaling Book
Nor
Permit Anyone
To Steal Your Joy
Or

Cause You To Doubt
That Our God Is Trustworthy!
Give Doubt The Rout!

Our God
IS

Faithful
Good Honest Kind
Loving
AND
Forever True
Loving Also The Unloving
Rescuing The Calculating

AND

Providing Ever Even

For The Cruel

The Ungodly
AND
The Rabidly Untrue!

Let Us To Him Be Faithful!
Let Us For Our Brethren Care!
Let Us In The Name Of Jesus
Do Mighty Exploits
AND
Do Not Permit The Prince Of Darkness
To Consign Us To The Underfoot Staff
Because
We Choose Not Jesus Christ
BUT

Choose Instead
The Burnable
Breakable
Perishable
Thoroughly Useful-For-Nothing
Fallen-Man-Built Golden Calf!

Christ IS Coming For All Such With Wrath!

Love The Giving God

And

Give The Loving God

His Glory

For Therein Is 

The Reward

Of

Everlasting Gain!

Praying For H. L. S. & K. To Cement B. L. T. & O.

Every Breath

Should Be A Prayer

A Silent Petition Of The Soul

Calling Unto The Soul's Savior

For

H elp In Facing Daily Trials

L ight To Reveal The Right Pathway

S trength For The Journey Being Taken

AND

K nowledge Of The Holy

That Causes One To Walk In Godly Fear!

Oh, Lord,
Save Me, Lest I Perish!
Lord,
Heal Me, For My Body Is As All Living
Going Back To The Dust
From Whence It Came!
Lord,
Settle And Seal Me
In Your Blessed Truth
And
Carry Me Home To Spend Eternity With You
In Perpetual Youth!

Oh, How I Long To See Him

Who My Heart Knows!

Oh, How I Long To Touch Him

Through Whom My Prayers Go!

Oh, To Sing Praise To Him

Through Whom

My Faith Grows

AND

Oh, How Glorious

Will Be My Joy

When I Walk Through Heaven's Gate-Door!

He Cares!

I Pray!

I Love Him

BUT

He Loves Me Best

For

I Receive Blessings Each Day

For Which I Made No Request!

I Am Thankful, Lord
For Your Blessing On Me
Even During Those Times
When I Behave Most Ungodly!
Forgive Me My Trespasses
My Sins
My Deceits And My Conceits
And
Remake Me In The Holy Image
So That I Will
B elieve
L ove
T rust
AND
Practice
O bedience
To Only You
So That Satan
Cannot Glory
In His Planned For Me Defeat!

You Are My Lord!
You Are My God!
You Are My Bulwark
Against
The Chastening Rod!

I Give To You
My Worship!
I Offer Up To You My Praise!
Please Redeem Me
In That Day When He
Who Is Salvation
Shall Come
So That I May Ever Worship
In Full Sight Of The Son!
I Love You, Lord!
AMEN.
