HAPPY SABBATH + Popular ... Convenient + PRAYER: Fix Our Faith!

It Is Gloriously Popular To Be Unkind!
It Is Enormously Convenient To Be Cruel!
It Is Sincerely Expedient To Sacrifice Another
BUT
It Is Not Considered Practical To Believe That
Jesus Christ Saves
Nor That Loving Trusting
Worshiping And Obeying
The Living Holy God
Will Cause A Brother Sister
To Be In The Eternal Kingdom
A Precious, Precious, Jewel!

It Is Considered Hopelessness
To Find Faith In The Creator God Helpful!
It Is Considered Foolishness
To Believe In The Invisible God

Who Is Higher Than Oneself And Any Earthy Other!
It Is Considered Weakness
To Acknowledge Need Of A Forgiving Savior
BUT
Indulging
Free-Basting
In Rampant Wickedness
Marks One An Emulatable Success!?!

The Exchanges ...

Laud Ashes And Call Them Beautiful!
Indulge Ungodly Fears But Don't Shed Repentant Tears!
Wallow In Base Lies And Hurriedly Bury Truth!

AND

Walk Pleasurably In Darkness 

AND

Hide Living Light

From Our Struggling Youth!

Robbery Is Fair Exchange!
Murder Is A Saving Grace For The Earth!
Idolatry Is The Vehicle For Financial Blessing
AND
True Truth Is An Inconvenience
To Be Fixed
As One Would A Root Canal
For An Exposed Nerve In A Troublesome Tooth!

Will You Answer ...

How Did We Get Here?!
Why Are We So Proud?!
Will We Ever Learn Our Lessons?!
Or
Will Edification Only ... Finally ... Come
When Christ The King
Suddenly
- As The Thief -
Appears In The Eastern Sky
Riding Upon The Cloud?!

Now Raise Your Voice In ...

PRAYER:

Father,

Eternal God In Heaven

Blessings Come Only From You

Pity This People

Made By Your Hand Of Creation

And

Help Us

For We Really Truly

Urgently

Need You!

Up Is Down!

The Priests Call Black, White!

The Curse Is Considered Causeless

And

The Known, Bold, Sinner

Is Believed Faultless

So, Please

Help Us, Dear Father

By Lifting The Occluding Cloud

And

Shining The Light Of Truth

In The Felt Darkness!

Help Us Our Known Sin To Confess!

Renew Our Minds!

Grant Unto Us The Promised New Hearts!

Unstop Our Dull-Of-Hearing Ears!

Place A Cleansing Coal

From Heaven's Altar

On Our Glibly Lying Tongues

And

Wash Our Obviously Blind Eyes

With Your Healing Tears!

Help Us, Lord

To Run To

And

With Alacrity Enter

The Safe

The Sheltered

The Protected

Sheep Fold!

Let Not Fear Of Unmighty Man

Who Cannot Destroy Our Souls In Hell

Cause Our Trembling Hearts To Grow Cold

And

Help Us Not To Sell Eternal Gold

To Get A Few Coins Of Burnable Silver

And

Questionable Earthy Power!

Help Us To Deny The Gross Liar Bold!

Father, 

We See Our Need

And

We Have The Need To Know You Intimately

And

We Acknowledge

That You Are The One Alone 

Who Feeds Heals

And

Mankind Seals!

Give Us This Day Our Necessary Food

For

We Consent To Be By Still Wates Lead!

We Know With Assurance

That You Alone Save

And

We Bow, Now

In Contrition

Before Time Is Over

Or

We, Uncooperative

Visit The Long-Home Grave!

Help Us

For We Have No Desire

Ever Again To Be Sin's Slaves!

Lord,

We, Few

Do Not Use Our Liberty For License! 

We, Few

Choose To Walk The Path Of Righteousness! 

We, Few

Know That You Alone Are The God Able

And

Choose

To Honor And Glorify You!

In This Make Us Valiantly Bold!

Please, Lord

In Your Mercy

With Your Grace

Because Of Your Known Sacrificial Love

Fix Our Faith

Anchor Our Souls

And

Ready Our Mansions

For, We Few 

Choose The Unpopular Path

And

Have Heaven For Our Soul's Only Goal!

Hear Our Prayer, Oh, Lord

For We Pray All

In The Worthy Name Of 

Jesus Christ The Righteous!

AMEN.

My God!

My God is The One Not Popular
By The Majority He is not even liked
For it is said that He has too many "Dost saith's!"
And Fun is not on His Breath!

My God is The One Not One Popular
By The Learned He is to be considered as The One Who Is Dead
For it is said that He desires way Too Much Control over
What goes on inside an Individual's head!

My God is The One Not One Popular
By The Pretty People He is considered de trop
For it is said that He sucks the Play out of The Party
And His Way comes over like weight dead!

But ...?

To Me ...?!

My God has no need to be Popular
For, to Me, He is The Lord of My Life
I believe that His Word is Sufficient
And that He will calm, help and claim Me
And take Me Home when He comes to Finish
This Life of Constant Strife!

You do not have to "like" My God
He IS Almighty God whether You like Him or not!
He holds The Reigns of Creation
And The Short Days of Your Life!

My God IS Sufficient and
Enough
More than Enough and
Light of The World
He IS The King!
Hallelujah! Praise Him!
Like Him or Not!?!
He IS Coming for HIS World!

 Not Liking Loving Almighty God 

Is

The Difference Between

Glory Now

and

Gory Later!
