VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Cossie



 







You Real Up And Down, Cossie! 

I Know, Mavis! 
Isn't It Wonderful!?! 

Are You Mad, Cossie!?! 
Mavis Is Insulting You! 

Mavis Would Like To Believe That She Is Insulting Me 
But, Truth Be Told
She Just Paid Me A Wonderful Compliment, Cuddy! 

Oh, Brother! 
I Have Got To Hear This! 

It Is Like This, Cuddy! 
I Am A Christian And I Have Committed Myself 
To Walk Consistently In The Light That Leads To Life! 
To Do This, I Must Grow 
And To Grow, To Show Growth
To Show That I Am Growing Up 
Into The Stature That Is Jesus Christ The King
I Must Put Down Roots As In 
I Must Be Rooted And Grounded In The Word! 

I Must Know And Live, Practice, Preach, And Purvey That 
Which I Know, Understand, And Accept 
Is The Saving Truth
The Truth For Today Always Current! 

Wait A Minute, Cossie! 
Where You Get That Line From!?! 

Wait, Mastic! 
Don't You Read Your Bible At All!?! 

I Read My Bible And I Ain't Never Seen That Sentiment! 

Wow! 
Another Surface Reader! 

Another One Who Is Reading Without Understanding! 

I Know, Reggie! 
Do You Want To Tell Them Or Should I!?! 

I'll Take A Piece Of That Action! 

Brethren, 
Have You Not Read The Parable That Jesus Told 
About The Sower And The Seed!?! 

Of Course We Have! 
Nice Story! 

I Like The Part About The Harvest That Was 
30, 60, And 100-Fold Return! 

Cossie, It's The Usual, Isn't It!?! 

Yup! Look Only At The Reward And Not At The Regrets! 

Sigh ...! 
Okay, People! 
Listen To Me Carefully! 
Jesus Firmly Spoke About The Seed That 
Fell On Rocky Ground! 
There Was Little Soil 
And Even Though The Seed Sprouted
It Had No Depth Of Earth 
To Send Down Roots To Hold Nourishment 
And So It Could Not Grow Up 
To Bear Fruit To Be Harvested 
And So It Died! 
So, You See, Up And Down Christianity 
Is Good Theology! 
Dig Deep Into The Word 
And Grow Up In Sanctification 
Which Is The Work Of Lifetime 
As The Holy Spirit Leads Us Into All Truth! 

Brethren, Think Carefully! 

A Tree Without Roots ... Deep Roots
Cannot, Will Not, Endure A Storm In Its Life! 

Troubles Toss Rootless Trees! 

Christians Unschooled In The Word Of God 
Do Not Know How To Live 
Or Why A Christian Lives In The Manner That 
The Lord Specified! 

Oh, My, Reggie! 
I Feel Really Ashamed Of Myself 
Now That You've Explained The Story! 

Cossie, I Am Sorry For Attempting To Insult You! 

It's Okay, Mavis! 
Some Good Came Of It! 

Yes, Cossie! 
I'm Going To Read That Parable Again 
And I Am Going To Start My Journey Again 
And Be An Up And Down Christian ... The Good Way: 
Down In The Word 
And Up Toward Sanctification 
Which Leads To Glorification! 

Hear, Hear! 
Lord, Lead Me, Lead Us Gently Along! 

AMEN!!! 

Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Learning The Language Of The Saved!








Chubbles, You Won't Believe The Language That I Have Been Learning Lately! 

Do Tell ...! 

Girl, It Has Been Exciting And I Am Learning A Lot! 

But What Is ...!?! 

Chubbs, You Have Got To Learn This Language! 
It Sweet Fuh Days! 

But, Mavis, You Are ...! 

Will You Stop Interrupting My Flow!?! 
I Am Trying Real Hard To Tell You About This Need To Know Language 
In Which All Committed Christians Must Have Proficiency! 

I Would Love To Hear About It, Mavis! 
Say On! 

Well, Chubbs, I Was Talking To Carson 
And He Said That He Heard About It From His Cousin Aunt Husband 
Who Heard About It From The Pastor's Sister-Friend! 

Anyway, It Seems As Though All The Church Members 
Have Here Of Late Been Moaning, Groaning, And Complaining That 
If They Are So Blessed, How Come That Their Blessings Are So Few! 

Uh, Oh ...! 

You Said It Right! 
Anywho, Pastor Hisone Got Good And Tired Of 
The Members Behaving Like Agony-Aunts 
And He Read Them The Riot Act! 

Sufficed To Say, What The Pastor Said 
Lit A Fire Under Those People And It Is Spreading! 

What Is The Language, Mavis, The Language!?! 

Oh, Sorry! Pastor Hisone Told Those People That 
If They Learned To Speak Grateful And Stop Speaking Gimme
Maybe The Lord In Mercy Would Permit Them To Physically See 
More Of HIS BOUNTIES! 

Why Are You Shouting, Mavis!?! 

I'm Shouting Because I Was Blind! 
We Have Bibles, Don't We!?! 
Should A Pastor Have To Tell Us To Be Grateful!?! 
Doesn't The Word Say "Give Thanks!?!" 
You Can't Give Thanks With An Ungrateful Heart You Know! 

You Ain't Lie At All, Mavis
And I'm Guilty Of The Same Crime ... Ingratitude! 

Well, Let's Get Over Ourselves
And Be Grateful And Thankful Always
And Our Lord Jesus Will Bless Us 
And Give Us His Peace And Rest! 
AMEN!!! 

Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Touch-Starved!?!







 

Platonic Physical Contact!?! 

Yeah! It's A Thing! 

But Why!?! Isn't That What We All Do 
With Friends, Acquaintances And The Like, Chari!?! 

What I Want To Know Is 
Why There Is That Particular Modifier '"Platonic" Appended! 

Well, Let Me Tell You About It, Brown Girl! 

As I Understand It, This Desire For Platonic Physical Contact
Comes About A Result Of One Being Rendered "Touch Starved" 
After The Breakup Of An Intimate Relationship! 

Really, Colly!?! 

I Kid You Not, Bramble! 

So Whose Fault Is That!?! 

That's A Very Good Question, Youme! 

So Who Has The Answer!?! 

I'll Take A Stab At It 
But You May Not Like The Answer! 

Alright, Bamsee! 
Let's Hear What You've Got! 

We Are Christians, Right!?! 

Of Course We Are! 

And We Are, Or Should Be
In A Committed, Intimate, Relationship With Our Lord Jesus!?! 

Of Course We Are! 
That's The Foundation And The Backbone
The Head And Belly If You Will, Of Being A Christian! 

Nice Point, Phensic! 

Sooo, When You Are In This Committed And Intimate Relationship With The Lord
How Do You Have Or Preserve And Grow Your Relationship!?! 

Come On, Bamsee! That's An Easy Question! 

So What's The Easy Answer, Bramble!?! 

As If You Don't Know
We Reverently Say Our Prayers
Enthusiastically Sing Praises To His Holy Name
And Deliberately Read Or Listen To His Word
And Lovingly Think On And Speak About Him 
As We Remember His Goodness To Us 
And His Sacrifice For Us! 
That's A No-Brainer! 

So What Would Happen If, No, When We Neglect 
To Do All Of Those Things 
Noted In Your "No-Brainer" Answer, BRAMBLE! 

Bamsee, Like In Any Intimate Relationship
The Gentle, Gradual, Erosion Of The Intimate Points Of Contact 
Turns That Relationship Into Something Platonic 
But With A Nasty Twist Called "Friends With Benefits" 
That Is Decidedly One-Sided  ... 
Until  ... The Relationship  ...Ship Sails  
... To Parts Unknown!  
And  ...!?!  

In Hindsight, And With Regret, And Sorrow
Recognizing Our Sin Against Our Soul, Our Self
And The Savior Of Us All
We, Touch-Starved  ...!  

... Did You Have To Use That Horrible Phrase, Chari!?! 

Yes, Brown Girl! 
And, As I Started To Say
Instead Of Going Back To Jesus
We, Stubborn, And Resistant To Truth - Just Like King Saul - 
And The Calling Of The Holy Spirit
We Turn To Yearning For What Cannot Satisfy! 

We Turn To Seeking Out Platonic Physical Contact 
Aka Contact Without Commitment 
Aka A Berth, A Work-Station In The Devil's, The Deceiver's Workshop! 

Dear God, Help Us All! 

You've Turned This Whole Platonic Physical Contact Touch-Starved Thing 
Into An Indictment Against Us! 

Yes, Youme! 
I Told You That You Wouldn't Like The Answer! 

You Did And I Don't BUT Facts Are Facts 
And Reality Bites
The Pain Of Separation Hurts
And Truth Elevates! 

So, Are We Going To Do Right And Get Your Wrong Things Righted 
So That We May Live In The Light Of Him Who Is Our Peace!?! 

Do You Remember That Song, "Jesus, Lover Of My Soul, Let Me To Your Bosom Fly!?! 

Yes, Brown Girl! 
Let's Sing It! 
AMEN!!! 

Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Just Stop Already!

Proverbs 19:6 KJV
Many will intreat the favour of the prince: and every man is a friend to him that giveth gifts.

Who 'Fend You, Saulty!?! 

Nobody And Everybody, Ren! 

Do Spill The Cocoa Tea: I Got Wibix Biscuits! 

Well, It Is Like This: 
I Have  Watched And Listened To Various People 
As They Waxed Poetic About Gifts That 
They Had To Purchase 
And, Given The Manner In Which They Spoke
It Really Started To Offend My Spirit 
To The Point Where A Particular Thought Started Circling Around In My Mind! 

Oh!?! What Would That Particular Thought Be ... If I May Ask!?! 

Yes, You May Ask And I Am Telling You! 

Quote Me: 
"People Need To Stop Buying Gifts For People That 
They Don't Like 
And Who Don't Even Like Or Care About Them!" 

Wow! 
That's A Loaded Statement 
And I Am Sure That There Is More Behind That 
Than What You Are Saying! 

You Are Right, Ren! 
People Can Give Gifts To Whomever They Want 
For Whatever Occasion Or Reason 
But What Was And Is Bothering Me Is 
... No ... Well
Let Me Ask You A Question: 
Do You Believe That Satan Likes Or Cares About You!?! 

Ren, That Has To Be And Is A Hard "No!" 

So, Answer This One: 
Do You Like Satan!?! 

Have You Been Hugging A Cell Tower, Saulty!?! 

No, Ren, I Have Not! 

So Please Tell Me, SAULTY
Why You Would Ask Me Such An Ig'rant Question!?! 

Pipe Down, Ren, And Just Walk With Me In This
And Answer My Question! 

Do You Like Satan!?! 

No, Saulty, I Do Not Like Satan! 
Far From That, I Hate, I Loathe
I Despise And In Jesus Christ's Holy Name I Denounce Him 
For What He Did And Does! 

Okay, Ren, I'm With You On That Score! 
Now Respond To This Fast Ball: 
Since You Have All Of These Negative Superlatives Regarding Satan
Who Are YOU And Why Are WE Giving Him Expensive Gifts!?! 

Whaaat!?! 
Bite Your Tongue, Saulty! 
Who For A Christian Would Give Satan A Gift!?! 

My Dear Ren, I Can Give You A Long List Of People 
And The First Name On The List Will Be Mine 
... And You May Add Yours To The Bottom! 

Oh, Dear! 

Yes, Ren, Oh, Dear, Sounds About Right! 
The Scriptures Tell Us That We Sin By Thought, Word, And Deed 
AND That Satan Comes To Kill And Destroy! 
With These Two Thoughts Being True
And We Are Sinners
And Jesus Christ Saves Sinners
Why Are We Gifting Satan Expensive Presents That 
Can't Profit Him 
But Will Undoubtedly Cost Us Everything 
Aka The Unspeakable Gift Which Almighty God Gives!?! 

The Bible Text Speaks About The Favor Of The Prince 
And Being A Friend To Those Who Give Gifts: 

There Is The Prince Of The Power Of The Air 
Aka Satan Aka Our Adversary Who Should Be Persona Non Grata 
As In Not Welcome In Our Lives 

AND 

There Is The Prince Of Peace 
Aka Our Savior And Forever Friend 
Who Gave His All 
To Give Us His All 
By Taking All Of Our Sin Into Himself 
Who Is The Only One To Whom We Should Be Giving A Heartfelt Gift 
Without Reservation! 

I Hear That, Saulty! 

Don't Just Hear It, Ren! 
Act Upon It! 
Daily Gift Yourself To The Lord 
So That You Won't Have Any Time 
Nor Any Thing Anymore 
To Gift To The Damned Devil! 

In Jesus' Name, Saulty, In Jesus' Name! 

AMEN!!! 

Lord, Grant Us Discernment! 

Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Do You Know The Distance Between Heaven And Hell!?!

Psalm 4:1 KJV
Hear me when I call, O God of my righteousness: thou hast enlarged me when I was in distress; have mercy upon me, and hear my prayer.

Do You Know The Distance Between Heaven And Hell!?! 

Come On, Saury! 
No Created Being Can Know That Figure! 

Are You A Committed To Christ Christian, Baulher!?! 

Of Course, I Am! 

Well, I Am, Too, And I Can Definitively Tell You 
Without Fear Of Contradiction 
What is The Distance Between Heaven And Hell! 

Cheupse! 
You Always Coming With Some Nonsense To Fret People Spirit! 

I Am Serious, Celeyse! 

Oh, Really!?! 
How Could You, A Dust Bunny, Pardon My Harsh Language 
Know Something That Is Not Written Down In The Bible
And Thus Not Available For Our Education!?! 

Well, Sweet Girl, That Shows Your Lack
Your Saaad Lack, Of Bible Knowledge! 

Them's Fighting Words So You'd Better Take That Back! 

I Will Not Because I Am Right 
And You, Poor Dear, Are Wrong! 

Okay, Then, Know-It-All! 
Prove That You Are Right! 

With Pleasure! 
Philippians 4:6 ... Pray Without Ceasing! 
If, Let's Say, You Found Yourself Heading Toward Hell 
And You Don't Want To Go There
What Would You Do!?! 

That's Easy! 
I Would Be Praying And Pleading With Almighty God 
In The Name Of Jesus Christ The Righteous 
To Help Me To Not Go There! 

Celeyse, Did I Hear You Correctly When You Said
And I Quote: "I Would Be Praying ... !?!" 

Well, Yes, You Did, Saury! 
So What!?! 

You Still Don't Get It, Do You!?! 

Get What!?! 
What Am I Supposed To Get!?! 

Celeyse, Celeyse, Celeyse ... Tsk, Tsk, Tsk! 
The Distance Between Heaven And Hell ...! 

... I Know, I Know! 

Yes, Baulher! 

It's A Prayer! It's A Prayer!?! 

But, But, How!?! 

Celeyse, My Dear, Prayer Will Keep You Out Of Hell 
And Lack Of Prayer Will Keep You Out Of Heaven
Therefore, The Distance Between Heaven And Hell Is A Prayer! 

I Just Don't Know How He Does It! 
First He Frets My Spirit 
And Then Turns Around And Blesses My Soul! 

I Wish That I Could Hate Him But ...! 

... Yeah, I Know, But We All Love Him At The Same Time! 

Uh Huh! 
He Did It Again! 

Yup! 

Lesson Learned! 

Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Moving Train Wreck!

Psalm 51:10 KJV
Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me. 

Colly!?! 

Yes, Binky! 

Colly, Have You Ever Seen A Moving Train-Wreck!?! 

Who Hasn't!?! 
We See Those Ever So Often On The Idiot Box! 

No, Colly! Not That Kind! 

I Didn't Know That There Was Any Other Kind, Binky! 

Well, Colly, My Friend, I Am Presently Watching A Moving Train-Wreck 
And When It Finally Hits The Restraining Wall
Somebody's Gizzard Goin' Splash Out 
And Their Guts Is Goin' Be Garters! 

Gracious, Binky, What Channel Is That On!?! 

Colly, You Ain't Listening Real Well! 
Pay Attention! 
If You Have Ever Had The Great Misfortune Of 
Having To Interact With Someone 
Who Takes Perverse Pleasure In Doing Evil
And You Have Been On The Receiving End Of 
Their Practiced Wickedness
And They Don't Seem To Care That 
There Are Witnesses To Their Machinations
And You Can Safely Project How Their "Adventure" 
Is Surely Going To End
Believe Me, It Will Cure You Of 
Ever Wanting To Be A Co-Laborer With Satan 
And Will Send You Running To The Safety That Is 
The Arms Of Our King Jesus! 

Merciful Powers! 
That Doesn't Sound Very Pleasant, Binky! 

It Wasn't And It Isn't! 
I Have Seen Some Things That Have Had Me Questioning 
If I Have Ever Had An Attitude, A Persona, Like That 
At Any Point In My Life For Even A Single Moment
And I Asked The Lord To Forgive Me 
If I Have Ever Been Like That! 

I Can Imagine, Binky! 

No, You Can't, Colly! 
Seeing Someone Behave Like That 
Is Like Watching A Snake Uncoil
Like Having A Bird's Eye View, A Drone View
And Watching A Car, A Truck, A Train 
About To Be Wrecked Big-Time 
And Knowing That There Is Absolutely Nothing That 
Anyone Can Do Avert It! 

It Makes You Sick To Your Stomach 
Unless You Are That Side-Winder, Satan
Who Encourages People To Sin Against Their Own Souls! 

Binky, You're Making My Skin Crawl 
Just Painting That Word-Picture For My Mind's Eye To Behold! 
What Are Doing About It!?! 

I Am Praying For That Person, For Myself
And For The Brethren
And For All Who Will Be The Ultimate Inheritors Of 
Almighty God's Free To All Salvation! 

Lord Jesus, 
Please Keep Us Near Your Cross 
Else We Will Never Escape The Disaster Up Ahead! 
Help Us To Pray Without Ceasing
And To Choose To Suffer Hurt Before We Will Ever Sin! 
Please Protect Us From The Evil One 
And Bless Us To Keep Our Savior First, Last, And Always 
In Our Thoughts, Words, And Deeds! 
AMEN!!! 

Help Us, Lord! Help Us! 
Grant Us Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: What Say You!?!

Psalm 18:6 KJV
In my distress I called upon the LORD, and cried unto my God: he heard my voice out of his temple, and my cry came before him, even into his ears.

Pay Attention, People! 
I Called! 
He Heard! 
He Answered! 

I Know, I Know! 

Yes, Ophenni!?! 

Jesus Christ: He Answered, Answers, My Prayers! 

Very Good! 
How About This One: 
He Called! 
I Heard! 
I Answered! 

Yes, Bohrhaugh!?! 

Just Like Isaiah, I Answered The Call Of Christ ... Not Only To Salvation
But To His Service Field
To Tell Others The Good News That 
He Saves Us Because He Truly Loves Us! 

Well Said! 

Brethren, 

Have You Ever Truly Considered 
What Your Real Feelings Should Be 
As Regards Our Lord Jesus!?! 

Yes, Fraemup!?! 

I've Been Seriously Thinking On This Very Issue 
And I Have Concluded That 
Our Real Feelings For The Lord Should Be Like That Of A Small Child 
Wailing, Waiting, Inconsolable For Its Cherished, Beloved, Parent
Calling Their Name
Saying It With The Passion Born Of Deep Desire
Telling All Around Who Valiantly Have Tried
With Yoeman Service
To Distract That Lil' Boo-Boo From His Soul's Desire That 
It's All For Nought! 

Then, Suddenly, That Baby's Body Stiffens Differently
And The Wailing Stops
And Its Attention Orients Toward That Entryway
And It Becomes Excited, Euphoric
And Those Around Recognize, After The Fact, That 
Mummy, Daddy, Has Come Back! 

Baby Knows That In Those Arms, Is Home! 

AMEN!!! 

So, With That Being Said
What Are The Best Words You've Ever Heard!?! 

Come Home! 
Let's Go Home! 
We're Home! 
Jesus Died For What I Did! 

Come Now, Dinkus! It's Your Turn! 
What Do You Say!?! 

I Say That Jesus Did Not Die For What I Did! 

Blasphemy!!! 

No, khansi! 
Let Him Speak! 

Thank You! 
Jesus Christ Died For What I Am Doing! 

Please Explain That For Us, Dinkus! 

Okay! I Will! 

When We Look At Our Medical Record
It Says What Our Diagnosis, Diagnoses, Are, Were
And If Something Has Not Been Resolved
It Flags That Condition With A Green Highlight: ACTIVE! 

If We Are Still Alive
Our Propensity To Sin Is Still Active 
And In That Eventuality
Jesus Christ Died For What We Are Doing! 

Wow! I Like How You Are Thinking, Dinkus! 

Apostle Paul Said That He, Himself, Dies Daily! 
He Daily Dies 
So That He Would Not Sin Against His Lord And Savior 
And, With That Saying, He Proves Dinkus' Point! 

Nevertheless, Never Forget That 
We Can And Must Get Victory Over Sin 
I We Are To Hear Christ's Immortal Words To Us, His Saints: 
"Welcome Home, Children!" 

Good Session, Everybody! 
Let's Go To Our Earthly Homes Tonight With This Thought: 
"Be Ye Perfect Even As Your Father In Heaven Is Perfect!" 
... One Step At A Time
One Day At A Time! 

AMEN!!! 

Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Jesus Christ Our Savior Cares!

Luke 24:17 KJV
And he said unto them, What manner of communications are these that ye have one to another, as ye walk, and are sad? 

You Are Sitting On A Train Heading For Home! 
You Have Some Papers On You Lap 
And Are Trying To Learn Something Important That 
Will Not Only Bless You 
But Will Most Assuredly Bless Another Person! 

The Learning Is Tough Going! 

Suddenly, Someone Sits Next To You 
And, Noticing Your Demeanor, Says: 
"I Notice That You Appear Confused! 
Are You Studying For An Exam!?! 
May I Help You!?!" 

You Say "Yes!" 
And The Stranger Looks At Your Textbook And Accumulated Papers 
And Then Confidently Asks You Pertinent Questions
Corrects Faulty Applications
And Then Tests Your Retention! 

At Your Station Stop, You Express Heartfelt Thanks 
For You Are Grateful And Feel Blessed! 

You Part Ways With The Stranger 
And Continue Your Journey With That Much Needed 
Confidence And Skill Boost! 

You Joyously Praise The Good Lord In Heaven! 

Beloved, 

This Is How It Is With Us As We Are On The Gospel Train 
While Heading To Catch The Only "To Glory" Train Home! 

Dear Ones, 

We Are Studying For The Greatest 
And Most Consequential Examination Of 
Our Short Event-Filled Lives! 

Most Aspects Of Our Test Prep Are Confusing 
Because 
Our Use Of Man-Made Applications 
To Answer Spiritual Problems 
Is 
Off-Base Until The Stranger From Galilee 
Sits Down Next To Us! 

Obviously Noticing Our Anxiety And Perplexity
He Politely And Oh, So Gently Asks: 

"May I Help You!?!" 

Our Lord Jesus Is Ever "The Gentleman" 
And 
Will Never Force His Attentions Upon Us! 

Brethren Greatly Beloved, 

We Need His Help, He Asks To Assist
We Say "Yes!", He Ably Assists Us In Every Domain
He Tests Our Acumen, We Pass The Trial
We Say "Thanks!"
We "Separate" 
And 
The Journey Continues
And 
We Do It Time And Again While Life Lasts
Or Until He Comes For Us In The Flesh 
And 
We Then See Him From Faith To Face To Face! 

We May Not Physically See The Lord Jesus Right Now 
But 
He Is Always There, Here, To Ably Assist Us! 

He May Not Obviously Sit Down Next To Us 
But 
We May Always, Always, In All Ways 
Call Upon Him And He Will Answer Us 
Because 
He Loves Us
And Died To Save Us
And 
Is Now In Heaven Interceding For Us 
Before Our Father 
In The Most Holy Place Of The Heavenly Sanctuary! 

Please, I Beseech Us All, Be Not Dismayed 
No Matter What The Adversary Of Souls
His Fallen Angels
Or His Deluded Human Agents 
Do To Cause Us Upset, Sorrow, Grief, Or Shame! 

None Of It Surprises Our Savior Dear 
Who Has One Thousand Ways 
As In An Infinite Number Of Ways To Save Us! 

We, At Any Given Moment, Only Need One! 

Beloved, 

Call On The Lord
Trust In The Lord
Walk With The Lord
And 
Live For The Lord
And 
At The Appointed Hour
Having Endured All For His Sake
You Will Live With The Lord In Beulah Land! 

For Your Love Of The Blessed Lord
Turn Away From Known Sin
And 
By Grace Through Faith 
Choose To Alienate Transgressions
And 
For Truth's Sake
Refuse To Permit Iniquity Aka Planned Sin To Know Life
And 
Keep To The Lord Who, Alone, Always Saves ... You! 

Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: What Were You Thinking When ...!?!

Psalm 139:17 KJV 
How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God! how great is the sum of them! 

Brethren, 

I Don't Know What We Are Thinking 
When We Allegedly "Slip Up" Up 
And 
Start Drifting Toward The Wild Side And On Into Backsliding 
With The Ill-Informed Belief That 
We Are Doing It Behind The All-Knowing God's Back! 

Are We Foolish Or Fools!?! 
Take Your Pick! 

Brother Bam, I Not Picking Either One 
Because Neither Of Those Personalities 
Will Darken A Gate To The Glorious City! 

Hear, Hear! 
                      AMEN!!! 
                                       Okay, Then! 

Beloved, 

I Desire That We All Think On This Thing: 
In This Vale Of Tears That We Call Earth
If The Authorities Had Your Brainwave Pattern
Your Iris Scan
Your Palm-Prints And Your Foot-Prints
Would You Be Able To Elude Detection 
In The Event You Committed A Crime!?! 

That's A Hard "N" To The "O!" 

You Telling Me! 

So, With That Said 
Why Would Any Of Us Who Are Obviously Drunk With Our Own Self-Importance
Which Is Not Worth A Piffle
Think That We Can Fool The All-Seeing God Who Is Ever Present!?! 

Beats Me! 

As You Said, Brother Bam
We Would Obviously Be Drunk 
And In A Disorderly State Of Mind! 

Okay, Then, Nomi! 
Let's Remember That Our Lord Is Not Mocked! 

What Are We Supposed To Do 
When We Have A Problem, A Situation, A Need
Or A Wayward Thought That Will Lead Us To An Inappropriate Action!?! 

We Should ... We Must ... Go Boldly To The Throne Of Grace To Obtain Mercy And Grace To Help In Our Time Of Need! 

Very Good, Paulie! 
We Are Now Getting Somewhere! 
You Make An Impressive Point! 

On Earth, Would You Get Into A Palace
Far Less The Throne Room Of A King 
Without Someone Apprehending You Or Shooting You Down 
Where They Sighted On You!?! 

Not A Chance! 

But, Yet, The Creator Of This Very Earth And The Whole Universe
The Almighty God Who Does Not Need Sentries Or Personal Body-Guards
And Who Is Himself A Consuming Fire
Invites You, Me, All Of Us Individually, To Come ... Boldly
To Just Walk Past His Ministering Spirits
His Angels Excelling In Strength
Like A Boss
And Stand, Knee, Bow, Lie Prostrate Before Him 
And
Let Your Request Be Made Known! 

True, Brother Bam
But You Left Out The Good Part! 

Nice Catch, Howlette! 
Would You Enlighten Our Darkness!?! 

I Don't Mind If I Do! 
Clean Or Dirty, Rabid Sinner Or Being-Sanctified Saint
We Are, By Special And Ever Open Invitation
Called To Get Into The Heavenly King's Throne Room 
By Our Heartfelt Prayers And Pleadings! 

AMEN!!! 

One More Thing, Everybody! 
Don't Forget To Go Back By The Same Prayerful Spirit 
And Give Him Thanks And Praise With A Grateful Heart! 

Preach It, Howlette! 
On That Note, Class Dismissed! 

Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: God's Provision!

Psalm 23:5 KJV
Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. 
The Lord God Almighty Does Not Know How 
Or What To Provide For Us 
To Sustain Or Maintain Our Lives! 

Blasphemy, Harcourt, Rank Blasphemy! 

Oh, Be Quiet, Minky! 
You Have Been Around Harcourt Long Enough In These Sessions 
To Know Better! 
You Should Know By Now That 
He's Going Somewhere With This! 

I'm Sorry, Harcourt! 

Apology Accepted, Minky! 

As I Was Saying
The Lord God Almighty Does Not Know How To Set A Table 
Or What To Place On That Table For Us, To Bless Us! 

We Read In The Scripture Of Truth That 
He Simply Set A Table And Provided The Meal, The Feast
For The Hebrews In The Desert Of All Places 
Without Bre'king Up Fractions! 

So What Does That Have To Do With Us!?! 

Well, Actually, Everything, Mingus! 

What Do You Mean, Harcourt!?! 

Aren't We In A Desert!?! 

What Desert!?! 
We Are In An Air-Conditioned Room! 

Don't Be Obtuse, Carly! 

We Are In The Desert Of Sin Aka Lawlessness 
Where Iniquity Aka Planned Sin Abounds! 

Where Sin Abounded Aka Was Rampant
Grace Does Even More Abound Aka Is More Abundant! 

Great Point, Gully Boar! 

The Hebrews Wanted To Know If The Lord 
Could Set A Table In The Desert! 
The Lord Set The Table In The Desert For Them! 

How Could ... Why Would They Think To Dare Ask Such A Question!?! 

I'm Sorry To Have To Say It
But 
That's What Happens When You Choose To Live Through Your Feelings 
And Not Through The Evidences Of Plain Truth 
As Found In Jesus Christ Aka The Word Of God, Patrice! 

Brethren, 

We Have The Sovereign Lord As Our Savior
The Savior As Our Provider,
And 
This Same  Provider As Our Sustainer! 

Brethren, 

Please Let Us Not Besmirch His Holy Name
His Character
By Diminishing His Ability, His Love For Us
By Looking At Our Desert 
And 
Ignoring His Presence With Us And 
The Provision Already Demonstrably Delivered By Our Deliverer! 

Our Lord Jesus Christ Is Able
Like Abel Who Did What Was Right! 

Jesus Christ Our Loving Lord Does Right By Us ... His Beloved 
... His Called ... 
His Chosen From Among! 
Never Forget It! 

AMEN!!! 

His Peace Is Upon Us!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Hide And Buy!?!

1 Corinthians 16:13 KJV
Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, quit you like men, be strong.

The Old Saw Says That You Can Hide And Buy Ground 
But 
You Cannot Hide And Reap It! 

Let's Ask Ourselves This Question: 
Since The Lord Jesus Did Not Hide 
To Buy Us Back From Death, The Grave
And 
Damnation And Hell
Why Would We Believe It Is Okay To "Serve" The Lord On The Down-Low 
And 
Live With The Great Expectation Of Receiving A Key To The Eternal Kingdom 
With The Public Acknowledgement!?! 

Beloved, 

The Lord Neither Had Nor Has Secret Prophets
Teachers, Healers, Preachers, Nor Servers! 

There Has Never Been Nor Will Ever Be 
Secret Saints Or Undercover Overcomers! 

Question Again: 

Why Would The Lord Ask His People To Be Very Courageous 
And 
To Be Strong In Him And In The Power Of His Might!?! 

Beloved, 

Nobody Needs Courage To Hide 
But 
Any And Everbody Needs Courage And Strength To Endure
To Stand Alone ... Exposed
In The Gleam Of Bright Light 
And 
Under The Venomous Stench Of The Hostile Glare
The Precursor Of Iniquitous Intent! 

Dear Ones, 

Our Lord Is The Great I AM! 
With Him Ever With Us And Always For Us
There Is No Need To Fear What Man Can Physically Do To Us! 

Let Us Bow Before Our Lord Jesus ... In Godly Fear 
In Awe Of Him Who Can And Will Give Us 
... Who Obediently Choose To Endure The Walk Through The Dark Valley ... 
The Blessing Of Entry Into His Marvelous Light 
With Bodies Like His Own! 

Brethren, 

We Shall See Him As He Is For We Will Be Like Him 
And 
Be A Part Of The Clan Called The Family Of God! 

So, Then, Dear Ones, Strengthen The Weak Knees 
And 
Lift Up Your Heads 
And 
Live Victorious Lives ... In Him And
For Him
For He Was And Is For You, For Me, For Us! 

Jesus Christ Saves! 

Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Excelsior! Really!?!

Philippians 3:14 KJV
I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.

Bandy, You Should Be Feeling Quite Silly Right About Now! 

Why!?! 
What Did I Do!?! 

Exactly! 

Huh!?! 

You Didn't Do A Thing And That Is Your Problem! 

Oh, Brother! 

Tommy, If You Could See Your Way To Tell Him What You're Talking About 
And Stop Having It Be So Obscure
Perhaps He Could Defend Himself! 

Okay, Rudy! 

Alright, Bandy! 
Where Do You Work!?! 

I Work Right Here At Excelsior! 

And What Are You Always Talking About!?! 

I Talk About Excelsior! 

Yes, Bandy! 
Excelsior This, Excelsior That, Excelsior Will! 
Do You Know What Excelsior Means!?! 

Why Would I! 
It's Just A Name! 

Bandy, You Real Pitiful, You Know! 

Why!?! 
Because I Ain't Swallow A Dictionary Like You!?! 

Nope, Bandy! 
I Say That You Are Pitiful Because You Profess That 
You Are A Committed Christian
And 
You Are Always Belaboring Our Ears 
With The Topic Of Climbing The Ladder To Glory
Apostle Paul And Aiming For The Prize Of The Upward Call 
And Not Looking Back To What Was
But Focusing On What Will Be! 

Strangely, Though, You Have Not Seen Fit 
To Associate Your Christianity With The Meaning Of 
The Name Of Your Workplace! 

Tommy, Please Pardon Me For Asking
But How Do These Two Things Correlate!?! 

It's Simple My Young Friends: 
Apostle Paul Is Seeking The Prize Of The Upward Call 
And
Excelsior Means "Ever Upward!" 

Lord, Have Mercy! 

He Will! 
You All Refuse To Listen When I Tell You To Read A Book 
And To Understand That Nothing Is As It Appears! 

Tommy, You Are Right! 
I Feel Real Silly Right Now! 

No Need, Bandy! 
You Finally Got It Straight! 

Remember This Though:
Man Can Never Outrun The Lessons Of The Living Word! 

I Hear That! 

Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Child Of God!

Galatians 3:26 KJV
For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus.

Do You Act In All Things As Yourself 
Or As A Human Being!?! 

How About As A Child Of God!?! 

Dodo, I Am A Human Be-ING 
And I Can Only Act As Myself! 

Hmm ... I Notice, Sharpie, That You Did Not Grant Recognition 
To The Child Of God Designation! 

Are You Not A Professing, Practicing
Child Of The Eternal Holy God!?! 

Well, Yes, But ...! 

Interesting! 

Brethren, 

We All Have This Very Problem! 

Talk About Yourself, Dodo! 
That Sounds Like A "You" Problem To Me! 

Carden, You Just Spectacularly Proved My Point! 

Wait! What!?! 

Brethren, 

Let Me Break It Down For All Of Us! 

We Are Human Beings! 
We Can Only Be Ourselves! 

We Call Almighty God Our Father 
Because 
We Went Down Into The Watery Grave Of Baptism 
Because 
We Accepted The Word Of The Lamb 
And 
Took Him As Our Savior 
By Our Confession And Heartfelt Repentance For Our Sins 
And 
We Came Up Out Of The Water 
Having Put On The New Man! 

Now Think Very, Very Carefully! 

Living In Or Better Said
With Christ Living In You By His Holy Spirit 
Who Leads Us Into All Truth 
Would It Not Be True To Say That 
You Are A Child Of God
A Regenerated Human Whose Sinful Self Is Daily Purged
Being Sanctified Aka Set Apart For Holy Use 
So That You Daily Choose To Let Your Default Position 
In All Matters Be: 
"Father, Ever Lead Me And Guide Me! 
Please Teach Me To Be True To You 
And To Be Pure In My Thoughts, Words, And Deeds
And Also Ever Show Me What I Should Do 
As Your Child With Full Inheritance Rights 
So That I Do Not Crucify My Dear Savior Afresh 
Bringing Him To An Open Shame!?!" 

Beloved, 

Be Cautious! 
In This Age Of "Do You!" 
And 
"My Truth!" 
We Are Being Again Beguiled To Taste
And For That Matter
Substantially Eat Of The Forbidden Fruit! 

Please, I Beseech Us All
Let Us Boldly Interrogate Our Profession
Our Practice
And 
Our Utilization Of Our Gifted Faith
And 
Decide Once And For All Time 
Who We Are Going To Trust
Honor, Worship, Follow, And Obey: 
The Rock Of Salvation, Jesus Christ Our Loving Lord 
Or
The Malevolent Side-Winder, Satan The Damned
Who Desires Our Destruction 
But 
Shows Us New, Different, Pretty, Loud, And Exciting 
Which Activates Our Hedonistic Traits! 

We, Each, Have Freewill And Freedom To Choose! 
Let Us Brazenly, Yet Humbly, Choose To Use Them 
In Jesus Christ's Name 
And 
For His Sake! 

Thank You, Dodo! 
I'm Glad That You Are Not The Bird! 

AMEN!!! 

Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: The Thief Of Joy!

Isaiah 46:5 KJV
To whom will ye liken me, and make me equal, and compare me, that we may be like?

We Were Warned In The Living Word 
Through The Posing Of A Question 
By The Very Lord Of Life Whose Name Is All-Knowing 
Which Means He Has The Unimpeachable Answer! 

The Lord God Almighty Asked: 
"To Whom Will You Compare Me!?!" 

Come On, Brother Man! 
That Was A Trick Question! 

Was It, Uncle Look-Up!?! 

Are You Calling Our Lord Deceitful!?! 

No, Mo! 
I Might Be A Lot Of Things 
But Stupid I Am Not! 
All I Want To Know Is Why 
An Unanswerable Question Was Posed!?! 

Lil' Bit, Have You Ever Heard This Expression: 
"Comparison Is The Thief Of Joy!?!" 

No, I Can't Say That I Have! 

Okay! 
Let's Say, For Instance, That You Worshipped The Living God 
In The Unvarying Beauty Of Holiness 
And 
You Were Truly Happy And Undeniably Blessed To Do So! 

You Knew That You Were Loved And Cherished 
For You Knew That You Were Not Alone 
Because 
Your God Was Your Shepherd, Your Refuge, And Your Strength! 

You Couldn't See Him 
Because 
If You Did In Your Current Sinful State
You Would Be Immediately Consumed: 
He Protected You By Covering Himself! 

You Were Happy, Happy, Happy 
Until You Happened Upon 
"This Is It!" Means And Methods Ministries Incorporated! 

They Had Crashing Cymbals, Booming Bass Drums
Tenor Pans, Electric Guitars 
Praise Singers In Bikinis
Praise Dancers In Short Shorts 
With Lil' Frilly Aprons Over Them
And 
Theatrical Lights, Smoke Machines
And 
A Glib-Tongued Speaker With Expensive Tastes, Treats And Toys
And 
All Manner Of Pricey Statuary 
Which They Carried And Venerated In Their Worship! 

You Were Mesmerized Even More 
When It Was Told You That The Statues Were Gods 
Who Gave Them Their Every Desire 
When The Worshippers  Gave Said Gods 
Gifts Of Money, Produce, Pledge, Or Person! 

You Noted That Those Worshippers Were Excited, Even Euphoric! 

Lord Jesus, Save Us! 

Why Do You Say That, Mala Prop!?! 

I Say That Because That Is
Exactly What Happened To The Israelites 
At The Time Of Balaam 
And Then 
At The Time Of Prophet Samuel 
When They Asked For A King That They Could See ...! 

... And That Is What Repeatedly Led To Them 
Being Constantly Overcome And Enslaved 
To Their Idolatrous Adversaries! 

So, Brethren, 
What Do You Say, Now, About Comparison!?! 

"Comparison Is Truly The Thief Of Joy!"  

Beloved, 

Every Good And Perfect Gift Comes From Almighty God
Who Will Not Share His Glory With Another 
For No Other Can Be Compared To Him 
Because 
He Is Life, Love, Light 
And 
Everything To All People! 

Please, I Beseech Us All
Do Not Allow Anything Or Anybody 
To Steal Your Joy In Our Lord Jesus
The God Almighty
Mighty To Save And Seal Us Against The Great Day Of Small Things
The Day Of Judgment! 

AMEN!!! 

Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: I Love The Lord Jesus!?!

Ecclesiastes 10:8 KJV
... Whoso breaketh an hedge, a serpent shall bite him. 

I Love The Lord Jesus! 
Do You!?! 

We Do! 

We Say That We Love The Lord Jesus 
So I Am Going To Boldly Ask 
"Why!?! 
What For!?! 
To What End!?!" 

We Can Both Say It Is Because He First Loved Us 
And
Out Of Reciprocal Obligation
We Have To Love Him Back 
Because 
It Is The Only Way To Get Into Our Father's House 
Aka The Mansions Of The Forever Blessed! 

Brethren, 

Is That Enough, Sufficient, Or Good Enough!?! 

Beloved, 

Let Us Take Thought 
And 
Break This Love Business, Love Affair, Love Pact Down! 

Neither Of Us Could Or Would 
Truly Love Someone Who Acts Entitled 
Nor Would Or Could Anyone Love Us 
If We Wore Entitled Man's Attire And Attitude! 

Now, Beloved, 

Besides The Already Stated Obvious Reason 
For Loving The Lord
I Love The Lord Because His Word Is Bond 
Be They Blessings Or Cursings 
To Include Loving Warnings And Gentle Corrections: 
His Delivery Service Unremittingly Works! 

Brethren, 

To Make This Personal
When My Son Was Growing Up And Under My Control
I Had One Hard And Fast Rule: 
If I Promised Him A Gift Or A Treat
I Delivered The Gift Or Treat, No Excuses! 

Conversely, If I Promised A Previously Advertised Punishment 
For Known Unacceptable Behavior 
Which Had Previously Been Warned Against And Corrected
I Delivered That Punishment As Warranted, No Exceptions! 

My Son Understood The Brief 
Because 
I Did Not Send Mixed Aka Muddled Signals! 

My Follow-Up And My Follow-Through Were A Given! 

Brethren, 

Our Blessed Jesus Gave Us Rules To Live And Love By 
And
He Was, Is, Abundantly Clear 
About The Costs Incurred And Benefits Provided 
For Doing, Or Ignoring Aka Rejecting His Word
His Will For Our Lives! 

Dear Ones, 

The One Thing That 
We May All Rest Easy About Is This Fact: 

"The Lord, The Same Yesterday, Today And Forever!" 

The Lord Does Not Turn On 
And
Leave On 
An Emergency Light In Our Lives Where None Exists 
As This Would Give Us Carte Blanche 
To Ignore His Command 
Even When A Real Emergency Occurs 
Which Would Be, Which Is, To Our Eternal Detriment! 

Great Is Our Lord's Love And Faithfulness To Us! 

Let Us, From This Moment On
Love Him By Our Willing And Unwavering Obedience 
By Keeping His Commandments Which Are Not Burdensome! 

Beloved, 

The Way Of The Lord ... The Commandments Of The Lord
Is Not 
An Hedge Of Thorns 
So Do Not Fear To Obey Him! 
Be Not Slothful! 

Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Wait!?!

Psalm 25:15 KJV
Mine eyes are ever toward the LORD; for he shall pluck my feet out of the net.

Would You Wait On Somebody That You Do Not Trust!?! 

No! 

Would You Have Faith In Somebody 
Whose Words You Do Not Believe!?! 

No! 

Would You Follow Somebody Who Has Shown You That 
They Are Faithless!?! 

No! 

Would You Park Your Life 
In The Climate-Controlled Garage Of Somebody 
Whose Motto, Mantra, Reason For Living 
... And Teaches You The Same ... 
Is 
"Do Whatever You Desire
To Whomever You Desire
For Whatever Reason You Desire
For However Long You Desire
Wherever And Whenever You Desire It!?!" 

Please Say "NO!" 

Brethren, 

That "Do Whatever ... !" 
Is 
The Word Of The Father Of Lies
Your Adversary The Devil
The Piercing Serpent
Who Desires Aka Who Craves 
Aka Who Is Greedy To Gain ... Your Destruction! 

That Unremitting Liar 
Is 
Bound For Unquenchable Fire! 

Beloved, 

Breathe Deeply To Calm Yourself 
And 
Lovingly Look At The Ten Commandments Of 
The Lord Our God 
And 
Notice The Obvious For Even The Blind Man: 
Four-Fifths Aka Eight Out Of Ten Commandments 
Bluntly Say To Us 
"NO!" 
"DON'T!" 
As In "THOU SHALT NOT!" 

This Is The Word Of The Consistent
Faithful, Trustworthy, God Of All Grace 
Whose Word Is The Truth! 
Follow Him! 

Remember, Remember, Don't Ever Forget That 
Always "YES!" Is Never Best 
So Take The "NO!" 
And 
Live In Jesus Christ's Glow! 

Only Our Lord Christ Helps, Heals, Saves And Seals: 
Please Cling To Him! 

Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Big Box Christianity!?!

Psalm 18:35 KJV
Thou hast also given me the shield of thy salvation: and thy right hand hath holden me up, and thy gentleness hath made me great. 

Damnation Is In My I's! 
Salvation Is In His Eyes! 

Are You A Greedy Person!?! 

I Was And Still Am
But For A Different Reason 
And Toward The Real God 
So It's Not Greed But Godly Longing 
Which I Know Will See Its Truest Fulfillment 
In The Great And Glorious Day! 

Do You Remember Big, Bigger, Biggest
The Three Boxes, No Marks
Just Size Differential 
And 
You Were Asked To Pick A Box, Any Box
And 
What Did You Do!?! 

You Went For The Biggest Box 
And 
Got A Big Box Filled With Paper 
And 
A Small, Cheap, Not Beautiful Toy That 
Broke Almost Immediately! 

The Person Who Went For The Mid-Sized Box 
Got Something A Little Bit Better
Not Spectacular ... But Better 

But

The Person Who Was Left The Only Option Called Why Bother
Opened It Gratefully
Glad To Get Anything At All
And 
Found That They Had Gotten The Brass Ring That Was Pure Gold
The Dirty-Looking, Crumpled Piece Of Paper That 
Was A Real Honest To Goodness $5.0And 
A Tightly Folded Invitation To The Tea Party
Paid For In Full! 

Wow! 

So Much For Having Big, Greedy, Covetous Eyes 
Always Looking I-Full 
But 
Getting The Awfuls! 

Beloved, 

That's Just How It Is With Our Lives! 
Boxes! 

However, Since We Consider Ourselves To Be Bright Sparks
Brilliant Sophisticates
The Road To Damnation ... The Biggest Box
Is 
Gaudily Wrapped, Heavy With Moon-Shot Promises
But 
Found In Reality 
To Be Cheap, Broken
A Costly Embarrassment For Us To Experience 
And 
The Laughing World To See! 

But 

Don't Lose Hope! 

Seeing Someone With A Grateful Heart Accept 
The Little Box Of Salvation
- The Grand And Glorious Gift - 
With Love And Gratitude 
Should Cause You, Me, Us To Do A Rethink
A Re-Evaluation
And 
Change Our Stinking Thinking! 

Will You Do It!?! 

I-Full Ain't A Belly Full 
So Don't Fill Up On Fumes! 

Dear Ones, 

Forget The Shadows Of Satan 
And 
Go For The Substance That Is Our Savior
And
Free Yourself From The Scourge That 
Is 
The Big Box Of Sin! 

Beloved, 

Please Accept The Unspeakable Gift Of Almighty God 
In Christ Jesus Our Loving Lord! 

Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: What Is It!?!

KJV Luke 11:13
13 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him?

Beloved, 

Truth Is Like Water And Wind! 
You Can't Live Without It ... Them! 

Truth, Water, And Wind Are For Hydration, Cooling, And Cleansing! Water Finds Its Own Level
Wind Will Find A Pin-Hole
And 
Truth Frees! 

Dear Ones, 

Whatever The Reason We Find Truth
We Will Always Be Impacted By It
Be It For Good Or Ill! 

Bottom Line ... 

We Live And We Lie And We Die 
But
Truth Can Never Lie Or Die 
Because 
Truth Is! 

Sin Finds Its Own Level! 

We Can Live Without Sin 
But
We Cannot Live Without Truth! 

Without Truth, Everything Created Ceases To Be! 

Sin Has A Shelf Life Aka A Use By Date 
And Because Truth Is Self-Evident
Sin Only Exists Because Of Obfuscation Aka Lies! 

Lies Cannot Stand In The Face Of Truth 
So It Attempts To Run Rings Around It 
But
Every Right-Thinking Person Well Knows That 
When One Runs In Rings Aka Circles Long Enough
The Circles Start To Wobble
And Then Get Smaller And Smaller 
Until The Ring-Maker Circle-Runner Runs Smack-Dab 
Into ... Inescapable ... Truth! 

Looka Dem Apples! 

People, People, Jesus Christ Is The Truth! 
He Made Us And Not We Ourselves! We Are His Twice, By Creation And Redemption
So Let Us Be Wise Unto Soul Salvation 
And
Let Us Shuck Ourselves Of Old Satan's Lies 
And 
Immerse Ourselves In The Truth By The Water And The Wind 
Both Of Which Are Symbols For The Holy Spirit Who Leads Us Into Truth 
... Unto Jesus Christ The Lord, Our King
Our Hope, Our Help
And
Our Sure Salvation! 

Ever Remember This, Dear Ones: 

Water Fills The Available Space
And 
Wind Enters The Opening You Give Or Make 
Aka The Holy Spirit Will Meet You Where You Are 
And 
Fill You And Help You To Get Rid Of Your Trash Called Sin 
Because 
You Desire It! 

Dear Lord, 

Please Let Your Fire, Your Holy Spirit, Fall Upon Us 
As We Pray And Trust In You Today! 
Lead Us Into All Truth As Is Your Will For Us! 
AMEN. 

Peace!

Looking Up!

How Are You Standing!?! 

Where Are You Going!?! 
Who Are You Leading ... Or Misleading!?! 
Who Is Leading ... Or Misleading You!?! 

Beloved, 

Are You Being Transformed ... By The Renewing Of Your Mind!?! 

Who Is The Transformer In Your Life!?!
Is It The Spirit Of The Holy God 
Or That Of The Malevolent Spirit, Satan!?! 

What Are You Receiving!?! 
What Are You Conceiving!?! 
Who Are You Deceiving!?! 

Brethren, 

The Olde Expression Says That Talk Is Cheap 
But That It Takes Money To Buy Whiskey! 

It Also Says That We Do Not Pay Taxes On Our Words: 
Perhaps We Should Start! 

Brethren Beloved, 

Committed Christians Do Not Drink Whiskey 
Or Any Other Alcoholic Beverages 
And 
We Are To Guard Our Hearts Because Of The Fact That 
The Issues Of Life Causes Things To Come Out Of Us 
Which Defile Us! 

For What Are You Looking Up!?! 
To What Are You Intentionally Listening!?! 
To What, For Whom, And Why Are You Looking Forward!?! 

Will You, Will I, Will Anyone, Be Blessed And Benefitted!?! 
Will Faith, Hope, And Truth Matter!?! 
Will We Be Saved When Jesus Christ Comes!?! 
I Am Asking For A Friend
And
Enquiring Minds Desire To Know! 

Let Us Dig Deep For Real Answers! 

Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Love Is Not Idolatrous Sensationalistic Emotionalism!

KJV John 14:21
21 He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.

He Had His Foot On The Brake
And 
I Had My Foot On The Gas
And 
It Didn't Take Rocket Science For Me To Realize That 
I Was Going Nowhere Real Fast! 

Very Soon I Was Glad 
For It Became Evident That Without His Asked-For Intervention
I Would Have Been Wearing, At The Very Least
A Personalized Body-Cast! 

Thank You, Lord Jesus, For The Save, For The Love! 

Time Changed! 
I Had Had My Foot On The Brake 
But 
He Escorted My Foot To The Gas 
And 
I Soon Came To Realize That 
I Was The One Who Had Asked, Again
For His Intervention, Again
And 
Had Harkened Aka Listened To And Done What He Had Asked 
Which Was "Be Very Courageous: Press On To Victory!" 

Brethren, Beloved, 

How Often Have We Acted Craven Aka Cowardly 
When The Plain Voice Of The Eternal God Said: 
"Be Brave! I AM With You!?!" 

How Often Have We Lion-Heartedly Roared 
And 
Enthusiastically Run Into Inevitable Disaster 
When The Good Lord Had Said: "Stand Still!?!" 

Are You Seeing The Pattern!?! 

The Lord Said: "Stop!" AND We Went! 

The Lord Said: "Go!" AND We Planted Our Feet In Quikrete Mortar Mix 
And 
Became Statues Of Willful Disobedience! 

Dear Ones, 

Be Very, Very, Careful! 

The Lord Jesus Made It Plain When He Said That 
Our Obedience Is The Mark Of Our Love For Him! 

Plainly Put, 
Love Is Demonstrated! 
It Is Not Idolatrous Sensationalistic Emotionalism! 

Beloved, 

Look Around! 

We Don't Naturally STOP At GO Signs 
And 
We Don't Naturally GO At STOP Signs: 
Consequences Apply! 

Let's Think On These Things 
And 
Pray For The ... Our ... Good Lord To Help Us 
To Do As He Commands 
No Matter The Earthly Cost 
Because 
Heaven With Our Blessed Lord Jesus Awaits ... For Love Demonstrated! 

Peace!
