VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Some And Piece Cannot Make One Whole!

Some O'This
AND
Piece A'Dat
Are Patchwork Christians
AND
Proud To Be

"Willing Workers For Our Lord
Praise His Holy Name
Come For Your World, Jesus!"

Prob ... LEM!!!

These Two
Are Selfish
Self-Righteous
Self-Centered
AND
To Top It All Off
They Put Their Personal Interests

AND
Personal Prosperity
Up Front And Way Before
The Interests Of The Heavenly But Soon Coming King
AND
DEEEMAND
That All The Other Brethren
In All That They Do
Or Contemplate Doing
Must Put God
AND
Others
First!

Their Behavior Is Appalling!

Their Hubris Lacks Shame!
Their Consciences Were Prickless
AND
They Think Simple Christians
Are Vain!

They Are Completely Useless
To Be Honest
But
No One Will Tell Them That
Because
Telling Ain't Hearing
AND
Of Understanding 

They Show Lack!

Don't Get Me Wrong ...

They Are Useful ...
When They Are Sleeping!
They Are Useful ...
When You Can See Their Backs
For Then
The Business Of The Kingdom
Proceeds Apace
When Some O'This
AND
Piece A'Dat
Are Not Around
To Give Willing Workers Flack!

This State Of Affairs Is Dreadful
BUT

It Does Not Have To Be So!
Patchwork Christians Are An Abomination
Misrepresenting The Lord Christ
With Their Acts Wholly Ungodly

AND

To The World

Putting On The Fine Show!

Christ Is Not Selfish!
Christ Jesus
For The Welfare Of Others
Does Daily Work
BUT
Patchworkers
Are All Over The Place
Leaning Into
Whatever Wherever
Whoever
AND
Whenever
If It Will Cause Them

To The Public
To Show Their Face!

Christ In Us
The Hope Of Glory
Is
To Them
A Phrase
Not The Way To Life!
AND
New Wine In New Bottles
Seems To Be A Trigger
Not The Call To New Life!

Old Man - Sinful Self
Old Wine - Unrighteous Doctrines And Philosophies
Old Bottles - Old Ways Of Being Seeing Doing

In These
They See No Wrong
For

To Please Themselves
Creed Is Speed

AND

They Know Therewith

They Can Do No Wrong

For

The Money Keeps Rolling Along!

They See No Reason To Change!
They Love The Status Quo!
Up With Self

AND

Down With

Down Upon 

Others
Is The Only Way To Grow

ANDTo Show
You're In The Know!

Those Are The Seeds They Sow!

Disgraceful!

Don't They Know ...

Put Off Self!
Throw Away Old Habits!
Dismiss Old Thoughts!
Put On Christ!
Take In His Light!
Walk In His Way

AND
Then The Devil You Can Fight!?

If You Look At A Patchwork Quilt
You'll See Lots Of Disparate Pieces
Cobbled

Sewn

Stuck Together!
They Come From Different Garments
Have Different Histories Of Use
AND
Color Persuasions
AND
Many Of The Pieces
Have Fraught History

AND

Often Unbeknownst To The Cobbler

Have Suffered 

Dreadful 

Damaging

Abuse!

To Keep The Disparate Together
One Must Make Many Seams!
One Must Provide A Backing Plain

AND
Faces Together
Patch AND Back
Are Joined Together
BUT

One Must Leave A Hole
For
Once Joined On The Four Sides
Back And Patch
Must Be Turned Out
To Show
A Different Face To The World!

BUT, And Still ...

The Transformation Is Not Finished!

Patch Must Be Irrevocably Tied
To Whatever Is His Back
AND
A Cobweb Of A Million Stitches
Going Every Which Way But Loose
Draws
Paints
Ascribes A New Persona
That Only God
Through Christ Jesus
Can Make New

AND
Suitable
For Heaven's Use!

As In The World
So In The Church!

If You Follow Jesus

You Must Give Up Self
In All Its Iterations
For
You Cannot Save Your Self!

Self Is A Bold Sinner
AND
Will Never Be A Saint!

The Saint Has Given Self
To The Savior
AND
Has Been Purged Of
Sinful Self's Taint!

If You Desire Salvation
Give The Patch And Back The Boot!
Jesus Will Give You
The Treatment
- His Cleansing -
AND
You Will Be Made Brand New!

Don't Settle For
Some O'This

AND
Piece O'That
When In Christ Jesus
You Can Have All
Of What Heaven Provides
For Those Who Will
From Death Arise

Because

They Have Accepted

The Salvation Call!

Come To Jesus Now!

He Negates The Effects Of The Fall!

HAPPY SABBATH + Plain Sin Can Change To Proud Iniquity

God Loves The Sinner 

But 

Hates The Sinner's Sin!

Preaching And Teaching

The Preserved Word 

Is

Bearing

The Vessels Of The Lord!

One Invitation Said To Expect To See:

"Miracles Signs And Wonders!"

I Asked Myself:

Weren't We Warned Against Depending On Such Things To Prove God?

The Second Invitation Read:

"Come And Have An Experience!"
"We Are Bringing Heaven Down To Earth!"

And I Shouted Out:

Heaven Came Down To Earth Already!

And Then I Wondered To Myself:

"Is Jesus Christ Having A Rebirth?!"

The Pastor Issuing The Invitation
Is Ruggedly Flamboyant To Say The Least
AND
He Believed Every Word That He Was Saying
Even Though
In Reality
He Is Selling Fluffy Lies As Solid Truth
Compliments Of The Salvation Thief!

He Publicly Proclaims
AND
Unashamedly Displays Photographic Evidences
To The World That
He Has A Lover
AND
States That If Others Had The Love Like He Has
They Would His Love Understand!

He Has Grown Children!
He Has A Church Dedicated To Serving
The Forgotten
The Outcasts
AND
He Unashamedly Also Has Quite An Attitude
Regarding Who God Really Is
AND
How God Does Individual Sin Class!

He Is Aggressive In His Approval Of The Known Sin-Life!
He Is Presumptuous In His Stance Concerning What God Says
About Abominable Sins!
He Is Dismissive Of The Voices Raised In Bible Correction
AND
He Is Ecstatically Effusive
In Praise Of His Lover
Who Is Set To Become His Husband
AND
They Already Together In Sin Live!

Putting A Ring On It Will Not Sanctify Sin!

Let's Not Cover Tar With Gingham ...

Sin Is Sin
No Matter WHO Commits It!

• Sin Is The Transgression Of God's Law

And All Lawlessness Is Sin!

• Trespassing Against God 

Is Going Where One Ought Not To Go!

• Transgressing Against God

Is Being Malicious In The Working Of Your Sin!

AND

• Iniquity Is Willingly AND Knowingly

Committing Your Sin Against God
Without Fear Of God
With No Intention Of Repenting Of
Your Sin Against God
AND
Your Sin Escalates Until You Are Called
A Reprobate!

NOTE TO FILE:

Sincere Repentance Of Sin

BRINGS

Forgiveness Of Sin!

I Am No Man's Judge For
In The Judgment
It Is Every Man For Himself
Who Has Not Honored Jesus Christ
AND
My Bible Says
That We Must Work Out
OUR OWN SOUL'S SALVATION
With Fear
AND
Trembling!

I Hold God In Godly Fear
AND
Believe Me
I Am Trembling!

Nevertheless ...

We Are Called
To Render Righteous Judgments!

Almighty God By Christ Jesus
Is Not Coming To Save A Family
A Clique
A Bible Study Group
Nor A Church
AND
Just Because A Person May Be The Pastor
The Priest
The Pope
The Bishop
The Archbishop
The Cardinal
Leading The People Of God Astray
It Does Not Mean That That Person Is  Exempt From
God's Condemnation
In The Great Day!

Almighty God
According To His Holy Word
Is Going To Save Individuals!
Individuals Who Have Rejected Their Lusts
AND
Have Chosen A Converted-To-Christ Life
AND
He Is Going To Require Every Man Of Himself
To Give His Maker An Accounting Of His Life
AND
When Rewards Are Given Out
Let's Be Certain To Understand That
The Wolves-As-Shepherds
Are Going To Be Punished Ten-fold That
Of The Persons They Ushered Into The Cruel Night!

When Churchmen
(The Modern Day Scribes And Pharisees)
 Use Their Position
To Condone 
Justify
AND
Celebrate Their Own Bold Sin
Encouraging The People
Who Are Seeking For The Righteous God
To Willingly Follow Suit
Let's Be Sure To Also Understand
That They Are Responsible To Almighty God
For The Souls That Will Be Lost
AND
They Most Assuredly Will Not Be Receiving
The Commendation:

"Welcome To The Joy!"

Setting Up Your Own Church
AND
Calling Out Pastors And Others
Who Condemn A Wilfully Wicked Lifestyle
Is Not Going To Gain Anybody
Any Brownie Points With Almighty God
AND
Selling Personal Pet Sin As Authentic Living
AND
Asking People To Plant Seeds By Way Of Giving
Is Asking Those Wanting To Trust God
To Take A Walk With You
Into Your Dark Night!

God Offers Us
True Life In Christ
AND
Glorious Blessings
BUT
We Can't Maliciously Sin
AND
Call Our Earthly Prosperity
Blessed
By The Lord Of Light!

Sin Has A Name
AND
Our Pretending That It Does Not
 Is Living Under A Terrible Delusion
AND
Ultimately
It Will Cause Us To Be Cast Into
The Second Death
Which Is Eternal Separation From God
Where There Will Be:

No Redo!

No Second And Third Chance!

No Rubbish That All Men

Will Be Saved

Because God Is Good

And He Made All Men

To Be Sin Slaves

And For This

It Is His Duty

To Take Us To His Holy Realm

So That We May Forever

Raise Our Voices To Him

In Eternal Praise

Without 

Confession And Repentance 

Having Been Sincerely Uttered!

ALMIGHTY GOD IS A CONSUMING FIRE!

AND
Sin Cannot Live In The Presence Of A Holy God!
If We Love God
We Must Keep His Commandments!
AND

Bringing God Down To Our Level
Does Not Negate The Fact That 
Jesus Christ Died
To Bring Us Up To God's!

Self-Deception Is Self-Destruction!

And ... 

Carnal Prosperity 
Is Not A Guarantee Of 
Eternal Prosperity!

God IS Love!
Truth IS God!
AND
God Loves Us Too Much 
To Permit Us To Denigrate The Sacrificing Of His Son 
For Our Salvation!
So ...
Please Understand And Accept That
Satisfaction Of Self Has No Place In Our Salvation!

Jesus Said: Not My Will, Father, BUT Thy Will Be Done!

If Jesus Submitted His Will To His Father's
Why Are We So Unwilling To Do The Same?

Permitting Things South Of The Navel 
To Make Decisions 
That Will Impact Our Eternal Prosperity Is Not Wise!

We Are Called Virgins!
Let Us Be The Wise Virgins 
Having The Holy Spirit (Golden Oil) Ever At The Ready
For The Time When The Cry Shall Go Up: 

"The Bridegoom Cometh! Go Ye Out To Meet Him!"

Whatever Oil (Truth And Light) We Have In Our Spirt (Lamp) 
Will Ever Always Be Only Enough For Our Own Selves!


REMEMBER: 

A Strong Delusion Is Coming For Those Who Loveth And Maketh The Lie!

So, If God Says Don't Do It
Don't Do It!

Satan Is The Liar

And

Though He Does Not Like It

Man Can Indeed Gain The Victory Over Sin!

Jesus Christ, The Lord

Is Our Shepherd

If

We Will Open Our Carnal Minds

And 

Let The Light Of Life

Enter Therein

And

When We Satisfy The Lord Of Light

He Will Satisfy Us

With Eternal And Heavenly Delights!

TRUST YOUR SOUL TO GOD!!

TRUSTING IN SELF: Brewing Your Own Storm

Trusting In Your Own Self

Is Like Riding In A Clown Car

Packed With A Myriad Opinions

Driving

But Going Nowhere

Storm Blowing

Windows Ajar

People Speaking

Words Blown By The Wind

Soaked To The Bone

Heavenly Warmth Faking

Throat Parched

Dry Wind Thirst Slaking

Back Bent

Bulrush Walking-Stick Breaking

Walking Up A Hill

Feet In Quicksand

Bully Boys

One's Teeth Breaking

Paying For A Free Ticket

And

Buying Free Food

And Still Trusting In Self

Even As One's Soul Is

Crying

Dying!

Trusting In Self

Is The Act Of A Desperate Man

Drinking The Juice Of The Damned

Instead Of Trusting

In The Only One Who Can

Deliver 

Peace 

By The Eternal Hand!

If You Are Trusting To Self

STOP!

If You Have Not Yet Done It

DON'T START!

If You Are Contemplating Doing It

STEP AWAY

And

BE DONE WITH THAT!

**********

Self Is The Sin

That Caused Satan's Falling

Into The Belief

That He Was Entitled

To Be In The Know

Of What The Godhead Was Doing!

Self Stopped Satan

From Recognising

That He Could Have Been Forgiven

Before He Went Too Far

And Was From Heaven Driven!

Love Of Self Caused Satan

To Tempt His Own Creator

To Bow Down To His Self

And Thence

To Kill His Lord, Later!

Self Strips Sinners Of Sense

Self Styles Itself As Sane

Self Of Itself Is Known Vain

AND

Self Causes The Judge To Anoint One With Commonsense

Via A Rapidly Applied Cane!

*********

DROP Self

AND

Lift Up The Lord!

"Fraudian" Speak!

"Greed IS Good!"
"Greed IS God!"
Greed Gonna Getcha
Compliments The Friendly Lying Fraud!

Self-Preservation is
The Order Of The Day!
Self Before Other
Is What The Fraudster Says!

Me, Myself and I is
The Only Way to Fly!
Think Self - Forget Other!
Believe The Lie, and in Lovely Sin Die!

My Story - My Truth!
I'm Sticking To It - Standing Aloof!
Got A Problem With That?
Don't Matter To Me for
The Lord Of Lies Is My Ultimate Camp Buddy -
Not A Boring Old Christian Fuddy-Duddy!

BUT

There Is A Chink In The Armor ...

Ding Dong! - Something Wrong!
Look About - Big-Able Snake Slithering Along!
Wanted to Run - Feet Nailed To The Ground!

SUDDENLY ...

A Plaintive Cry Is Heard:

"Lord Jesus, Help Me

Before I'm Swallowed Headlong!"

As Always, Men Brag
Of Their Vaunted Prowess
Until All The Chips Are Laid Down
And 
They Are Facing
King Flawed, The False God!

Stop Acting Like a Chump!
You Can't Win That Game
Until The Lord Jesus Christ
Becomes Your Captain!

"Fraudian" Speak
Bolsters Only The Dishonest Weak!
No Matter How Strong They War
No Matter How Loud Their Clothing Speaks!
Do Not Be Intimidated - They Really Emit Squeaks!
Get Our Your Good Book!
Say Your Prayers to The Heavenly Father
And, Friend, Deny The Call and 
Dump That Crock From The Crook!

Jesus Is The Captain
The Master Of The Meek
The Humble
The Lowly
And, Yes, The Honest Weak!
Self-Sufficient Don't Need Him
For Self-Love Don't Care
For Self Is Its Own God, and
It Has Its Own Lively Cheer!

Self Sits On The Chair
Decorated and Carved
With Fine Writing
Meaning Loud
Best Rest For Its Own Eyes
Capturing Real Lies:

Seeing
Everything
Lovely and Vaingloriously
Fabulous


Soaking up
Every
Lusciously Sinful
Feeling


BUT ...

ULTIMATELY ...


Soberly
Experiencing the Burn of The
Lake of Brimstone and
Fire

Drop The Fake Love 

from 

The Real Fraud!

Call Out 

to 

Jesus Christ

and

Experience The True Love Of God!
