HAPPY SABBATH: INAPPROPRIATE WORDS CONDEMN: Silence Is Golden!

 

 

This World In Which We Live 

Is 

Notorious For Its Citizens' Love Of Being Loud And Proud

For Raucously Enjoying One-Upmanship

And 

Having The Last Word Spoken In Every And All Conversations 

Even If Their Position Is Erroneous 

And 

Their Behavior Patently Egregious Aka Shockingly Abusive! 

Beloved, 

As Children Of The Heavenly Father 

Bought Back From Death 

By The Uncomplaining, Quiet, Sacrifice Of Jesus Christ

No Committed Christian 

Should Ever Conduct Themselves In So Unseemly A Manner! 

Jesus Christ Was 

And Is 

Our Perfect Example 

And 

He Has Left Us With Ample Evidence Of 

How We Must Conduct Ourselves 

In The Presence Of Frenemies Aka Friendly-Enemies

Adversaries, Gainsayers, Doubters

Unbelievers And Disbelievers! 

A Common Adage 

Is 

"Let People Think That You're Stupid: 

Don't Open Your Mouth And Prove It!" 

As Travellers To Hill Zion

We Would All Do Well To Emulate Our Master 

And 

Dare To Keep Our Own Counsel: 

It Is Free! 

Think About It ...

Satan The Damned Ain't Almighty God

So He Can't Read Your Mind

And

People Like Yourself Can't Read Your Mind

Soooo ... Save The Eternal Holy God Of Grace In Glory 

Nobody Created Knows What Is In Your Heart 

Unless You Open Your Mouth! 

Brethren, Beloved 

Know Your Savior Who Calls You To His Side! 

Know His Saving Word That Blesses You In Truth To Abide! 

Know Yourself In Jesus Christ Who For You Willingly Died

And 

Choose To Let Your Appropriate, Golden, Silence 

Be Your Loud-Speaker:

Do Not Into Cheap, Nasty And Snide Remarks Dare To Slide! 

Inappropriate Words Condemn 

So Let Your Words Be Few! 

The Lord Christ Is Judge! 

Pray For Peace!

RESPECT IS DUE TO A DOG: Speech Belongs To God!

Whose Spirit Is Moving Your Tongue!?!
Is It The Holy Spirit Of Truth
Or
Is It The Adversarial Spirit Of The Accuser Of The Brethren!?! 

Are Your Words Kind, Soft, And Uplifting 
Or Are They Harsh, Sure To Offend
Hurtful ... Demeaning!?! 

The Soul Bound For Glory

Should Know These Things!

Apostle James Called The Tongue A Fire
A World Of Iniquity Aka Planned Sin
Lit By The Fires Of Hell
Full Of Deadly Poison 
And Obviously
Doing The Devil's Dirty Work! 

Beloved, 

We Are Called Christians For A Reason: 
We Are To Light The World 
To Make It Wise Unto Salvation 
And 
We Are To Salt The World 
To Make It Suitable For The Storehouse Of God
Fit To Appear At The Welcome Home Table Of 
The Great King, The Eternal, Holy God 
Who, Himself, Was Of A Meek And Gentle Spirit 
Whose Passing Wouldn't Even Bruise A Reed! 

We Are To Be Like Jesus
Gently Drawing People To Almighty God 
And 
Not Repelling Them By Being Loud, Obnoxious And Unkind! 

Let's Dare To Ask Ourselves The Hard Questions: 

Am I A Good Representative For Christ And His Kingdom!?! 
Am I Edible Wheat Or Am I Burnable Tares? 
Am I Setting A Good Example By Being Honest Honey And Valuable Velvet 
Or
Am I Dishonoring The Father's Name 
By Spitting Nails
Brandishing Swords 
And 
Lighting Fires!?!

Believers Have Hope And Help ...

Let's Ask The Holy Spirit Of Truth 
To Guide Our Thoughts
Feed Us Good Words 
And 
Correct Us When We Go Sideways To Do Wrong! 

Everybody Ought To Know ...

It Pays To Serve Jesus Christ The Lord ... Faithfully
And
It Behooves Us Well To Understand And Accept That
Only Good, Kind, Obedient
Meek, Gentle People ... Peacemakers 
Shall Enter The Kingdom Of God
Shall Inherit The Earth Made New
Shall Bear The Image Of Jesus Christ! 
We Shall See Him As He Is!

Brethren,

Pray
And
Look At 
And 
Clean Out The Garbage Of 
An Unfeeling, Unkind Tongue 
If
You Desire To Go Home To The Glorious Kingdom! 

Through Almighty God's Love For Us
We Have Free Will 
And 
Freedom To Choose Our Own Way In Life
So Let's Choose To Be Pure In Heart
And
Let's Choose To Be True Children Of God: 
Let's Control Our Tongues 
And
Our Actions Today! 

Remember ...

Speech Belongs To Almighty God
And
Respect Is Due To A Dog:
Say And Do What Is Good And Right!

HAPPY SABBATH + Soul Food!?! + PRAYER: Help Me, Lord, To Do Better!

Thoughtless Words
Harsh Words
Foolish Words
Careless Utterance

And
Bitter Remonstrance
All Speak To What You Are Your Soul Feeding
Be It By Reading
Seeing
Hearing
Thinking Or Cherishing!

Words Spoken
Tell The Hearers
What It Is That You Are Really Eating!

I Know What You Mean
Because Recently
I Butt Up On Myself
And It Was Gravel In My Mouth!
There Had Not Been Any Good Eating!

Wow!
Tasting Your Own Words!
How Did You Like Them Apples!?!

I Didn't 

And Neither Did The One On The Receiving End!

Did You Forget?!

Forget!?!
Man, I Didn't Take Time To Remember!

I Said: ABC!
Carly Said: 123
And, I
- In High Dungeon -
Handed Her The Rest Of The Alphabet
In Color
In Stereo
In Rage
In Disrespect
In Folly
And, Now
I Stand Before You Chastened
Having Walked Around In ... Shame!

That Must Have Been
One Seriously Negative Feeding Frenzy
You Must Have Been On
To Unload On Her Like That!

It Sure Was!

It Was A Dark Lord Special Delight ...

I Had Feasted On:

Bran Bread Of Bitterness
Butter From The Bilge Water Of Bile
Pickles Of Pettiness
Putrid Patty Of Imagined Penury
Tomatoes Of Toasted-Temperance
Lawless Lettuce
Pity-Me Potatoes
Apple Pie Of Avarice

And Ice Cream Of Indignation

So What Was Your Chaser?!

I Had Me A Long Glass Of Mauby Of Malice And Malignity

Over Cracked Ice

And A Liberal Spash Of Icy Disdain!

Lord A'mighty!

You Must Have Been Born In A Barn!

If You'd Been Born In A Stable
You Would've Known Better
And Done Better ...!

... And She Would Have Remembered That

A Soft Answer Turns Away Wrath
And Recognized That Silence Is Golden!

By Their Fruit ...

Lacy, This Is Serious!
How Could You
A Practicing Christian
Fall Into That Cess Pit!?!

I Didn't Fall In!
I Boldly Walked In!

You'd Better Explain That Statement!

All I'm Saying Is
You Speak What You Eat!

So You're Saying That You Really Did That Deed
With Unadulterated Malice!?!

Of Course!
I Was Just Waiting For An Excuse!

Any Excuse!

Let Me Get This Straight:

You Fed You Soul Crap
So That You Could Deliver Incredible Excrement!?!

Since You Put It Like That, Yes!
And I Feel So Dirty!

You Should!
What You Did Was Deliberately Sinful!

Don't Forget Presumptuous!

Please Add On Cruel And Unkind!

Hateful Is My Description, Oh, Friend Of Mine!

Exceedingly Foolish Is My Take!
You've Been Unwisely Encouraging The Known Fake!
Don't You Know That Much Is At Stake!
Don't Your Realize That

With Your Cherishing That Foul Attitude
You Will Not Your Residence
In New Jerusalem Make!?!

I Know! I Know!

Big Question ...

Where Is The Repentance For That Debacle!?!

Believe Me! It's Here!

I've Been Tasting It!
Hence The Gravel In My Mouth!

I Had To Repent Twice!
Once To My Heavenly Father
And Once To My Dear Friend!

Was It Worth The Cost!?!

That's An Emphatic "No!"

I Sincerely Pray That You Change Your Diet!

Changed And Changing
But

I Am Now Seriously Concerned
About My ...!

... Unfavorable Influence ...!

... Upon Others!

Let This Be A Lesson
To All Of Us Who Here Hear
That Words Have Life
And
When They Are Weaponized
They Inveigle Us In The Great Controversy's Strife!

We Can Worship The Devil!
We Can Worship The Lord!
But
There Is The Difference Which Comes
From The Utterance Of The Singularly False Word!

People See!
People Hear!

And
People Understand Your Intent
And
Your Unwise Words
Can Send Them To The Wrong Camp
The Camp Of The Enemy
The Enemy Of Souls
Who Has For His Life's Work
The Damnation Of Your Already Bought

And

Purchased-From-Death Soul!

What A Hellish Goal!

Keep Away From His Fold!

If We Live And Work And Love
As The Good Master Told
We ... None Of Us
Won't Work For That Gross Nave

Beelzebub The Bold!

Indeed!

On This Truth, I'm Sold!

PRAYER :

Heavenly Father,

God Of Mercy

Grace And Love

Forgive Me My Trespass

For Not Speaking

From A Heart Operating Under The Influence

Of

Jesus Christ's Pure And Holy Love!

I Spoke A Harsh Word

A Word Not Kind

A Word Not Fit 

For The Faithful

And

In So Doing

I Misrepresented You

The God Almighty

Holy, Wise, Divine!

Help Me, Lord

To Do Better

To Live As One Wise And True

And

Please Help Me

To Live For And As My Jesus Did

For

It Is My Heart's Desire

With You

In New Jerusalem To Live!

Hear My Prayer, Lord 

And

Bless Me To Do Your Will

And

Blessing Me So That I May Be A Blessing

To The Family Of The Living God!

I Ask These Mercies

In Jesus Christ's Holy Name! 

I Love You, Lord!

Please Come Soon!

AMEN.

Are You A Word Watcher?!

Please, Ma'am
What Do You Mean
When You Say
"Watch Your Words!?"
Words Don't Have A Body!

Ah, But They Do!
Some Are Heavy Weight Champions
Some Are Butterflies
Some Are Nasty Nellie's
AND
Some Are Annoying Flies!

Some Words Push You
Some Words Pull
Some Words Run You Down
AND
Some Words Make You Feel Like A Gull!

I Like Gulls!

Oh, No! Not Gull As In Bird!
Gull As In To Make One Feel Like An Idiot!

That's Not Very Nice!

Do You Still Think
Words Have No Body
Aka No Weight?!

Well  ... I Am Not Too Sure. ...Yet.

Come, Let's Walk For A Moment!

Ryan, You Are A Kindhearted Soul!
Why Is That?!

Well, It's Nice To Be Kind
And Mom And Dad Both Teach
That What You Give You Get Back
And That Soft Answers Turn Away Wrath
And
Do Unto Others What You Want To Be Done Unto You!

Wouldn't You Call That
Ingesting Good Food?

Sure, I Would!

And When You Say Something Nice
Wouldn't You Agree That You Are Displaying
The Fruit
The Benefits
From The Good Food
That You Ingested ... Ate
AND
Digested  ...  Learned Grew From
AND
Expressed ... Practiced?!

Yes, I Would!
I Think I Understand!

If You Understand, Prove It!

I Heard Coach Keene Call Mason
A Rather Nasty Name
AND
I Actually Saw Mason Recoil
As Though He Had Suffered A Physical Blow
AND
Afterward He Looked Physically Ill!

There You Go!
So What Do You Now Say?!

Sticks And Stones May Break My Bones
BUT
Unkind Words Are Sure To Harm Me!

Well Said!

Now I Desire That You Remember This:

People Watch Our Words!
Our Expressed Words Come From Within Us
Showing Others What Is Inside Of Us
AND
Very Often
A Lifetime's Worth Of Living
Can Never Erase
The Looped Unkind-Word Recording
That In Another Person's Head Plays
AND
There Is No Pencil
Well-Enough Equipped
To Erase The Lasting 
UGLY
AND
WEIGHTY
Bad Impression
That We May Have Unwittingly Made!

Watch YOUR Words!

Yes, Ma'am!
I Surely Will!
Thanks For For Taking The Time
To Explain Things To Me!
I Appreciate You!

Thank You, Kindly!
I, Also, Appreciate You!

Even At Your Worse

Jesus Christ

Gently Calls Out To You

So Please Emulate Him

AND

Do Likewise

In Interacting

With The Brethren!

WORDS: Weight

Words Have Weight!

Careless Words Weigh Heavy

AND

They Can Send A Person

Into A Troubled State!

How Much Weight Do Your Words Carry?

To Hear The Back-And-Forth
You Would Not Believe
That They Were Friends:

You Are Nothing But
An If But And An And!

You're Nothing More Than
A Therefore What For And A Question Mark!

You Are Unkind!
You Are Hateful!

You Make Me See Red!
You're A Technicolor Excuse Masquerading As White!

That Was Not Very Nice!
Neither Are You!

Excuse Me!
Don't You Know
That Unkind Words
Hidden Behind Your Shirt 
Hurt
When In Anger
You Open Your Mouth
AND
Do Them Blurt!

Be Angry
AND
Sin Not!
Let Not The Sun Go Down On Your Wrath!
Stop!
Think!
Turn Away!
Isn't There Something Better
That
In Kindness
You Can To Your Adversary Say?

Today!?
Today!

Let's Start Over!

God Loves You
And So Do I!
Let Us Be Friends!

I Am Willing To Try!
I Am Going The Extra Mile!

I'll Always Speak The Truth!
I'll Always Speak The Truth In Love!

I'll Extend A Helping Hand!
My Hand Offers The Touch Of The Household Of Faith!

I Walked A Mile!
I'll Walk A Mile In Your Shoes!

I Shall Pray!
I Shall Pray For Rain!

Hold Up!
Why Are You Praying For Rain?!
There Is No Drought!

I Am Praying For Showers Of Blessing
From The God Of Heaven Above!
I Am Praying That The Lord Will Bless Us
To Speak To Each Other With Love!
Words Have No Scale-Weight
BUT
Ugly Unkind Words Kill!
I Am Praying 
For Words Edifying
That Will A Yearning Soul
Fill!

Words Cause Wars 
AND
Much Strife!
AND
The Little Red Rag
That Forms Them
Gets Lit From The Devil In Hell
AND
Is The Match-Light
That Starts The Conflagration
That Will
Friends
Family
Nations
AND
Congregations
Benight!

Word!

Wordssss!
Remember The Snake!

I Love You!
I Love You More!

But ...

He Who Made Us
Loves Us Best!
So
Let Us Strive To Be
To Do Better
So That In Him
We Shall All Be Gloriously Blessed!

Yes! Yes, Indeed!

We Should Bless God
With The Fruit Of Our Mouths
AND
Curse The Devil
By Being Kind One To Another!

Let Your Words Go North

And

Not South!

Let Your Words Lift Up

And

Not Cast Down!

Let Your Words Speak Peace

And

Not Propagate Hate

For

Your Own Words 

Will Be Your Judge

When The King Comes

Through The Gate!

The Next Day ...

Hey, Child Of God!
Hello, Beloved Of The Father!
