BUYING FORGIVENESS: The Living God Isn't Into Indulgences!

Almighty God's

Gift Of Forgiveness

Is

Free

(For The Asking)

To Me And To Thee!

There Was A Time 

When It Was Real Big Business In The Roman Church 

For People To Purchase An Indulgence Aka Leniency

- Forgiveness ... If You Will -

For Committing The Sin Of Their Choosing! 

Today We Have Those Among Us 

Who Offer Up Prayers Of Repentance 

To Their Idea Of The Living God 

Before

Going Out And Embracing Iniquity 

Aka Planned Sin! 

Neither Course Of Action Helps The Individual 

Nor Pleases Our King

The Judge Of All Flesh! 

Beloved, 

The Living God Is Not A Man Aka A Liar 

And

There Is No Darkness In Him At All That 

He Would Indulge Aka Overlook, Dismiss

And

Be Participant In Our Rank, Sinful, Disrespectful

Condescending, Devilish, Behavior 

As Conceived In Satan's Black Heart 

To Work Our Destruction! 

"Thou Shalt Not ...!" 

Is 

The Yellow Card Of Caution! 

"Thou Shalt Surely Die!" 

Is 

The Red Card Of Death! 

Get Real ...

Playing Truth Or Dare With The All-Seeing

All-Knowing

Ever-Present

Eternal, Holy, God 

Who Is The Truth 

Is 

A Game For Fools 

Who Are Brain-Washed ... By Personal Choice 

Into Believing That Finite Humans 

Can "Play" The Eternal Only Wise God! 

Let's Raise Our Standards ...

Please Commit To Praying 

And 

To Reading The Word Of Saving Truth 

And

To Daily Confessing 

And 

Repenting Of All Known Sin! 

Anything Else 

Is 

A Waste Of Time And Effort 

As It Only Raises One's Personal Stock Of Fuel 

For The Fires Of Hell:

Diligently Seek Almighty God's Goodness, Grace 

And 

Presently Available Mercy! 

Deny The Liar: 

Honor The Lord Jesus Christ! 

Peace!

Sin

Is

A Reproach

To Every People!

Consider Your Ways AND Your Days!

When We Were Children

The Elders Spoke Often About Malice Before Thought

About Being So Bent On Having One's Own Way That 

A Person Just Acted

Right Thinking Be Damned! 

Today

A Favored Expression 

Is 

Playing Dead 

To See What Kind Of Casket You're Going To Receive! 

Beloved, 

In The Old Testament Times

Swift Justice ... As A Sharp Curb On Lawlessness

Was Meted Out For Ought Aka Anything That 

Brought Almighty God's Name Into Disrepute! 

Today We See The Multitudes Using The Name Of The Lord 

Like It Is A Cheap Cloak Aka Cover For Bold Sin! 

Consider Your Ways ... 

Not One Of Us Has Control Over The Days Of 

Our Years As Allotted By God! 

Not One Of Us Is Guaranteed To Live Five Minutes From Now 

So The Question Must Be Asked: 

"Are You So Invested In Some Cherished Sin That 

You Are Willing To Have Your Probation Closed 

And Your Judgment Concluded 

And Your Record Marked 

UNHOLY: Still  And  FILTHY: Still 

Because In Satisfying The Raging Lust Of Your Flesh 

'You Have More Head Than Brain!?!'" 

Is Satisfying Your Flesh Worth More To You Than 

Having Your Soul Cleansed!?! 

Willful Sin 

Is 

Deadly 

So "Act In Haste And Repent At Leisure!" 

Should Daily Warn You To 

"Look Before You Leap!" 

And 

"Think Before You Sink And Stink!" 

We Need The Lord To Breathe And Belong 

But

He Does Not Need Us To Reign And Rule! 

Think!

Almighty God Winked ... When We Were Ignorant!

Is Your Christianity Just A Cloak 

Or Is It Functional ... Functioning

And

You Are A Functionary

A Doer Of The Will Of God

And

Not Just A Indifferent Hearer Of The Word!?! 

How Far Are You Willing To Go To Get Your Own Way!?! 

Are You Willing To Sin To Have That 

Self-Deceived Sense Of Personal Satisfaction 

No. Matter. What!?! 

Beloved, 

Be Very, Very, Careful! 

Tread Softly In The Presence Of Almighty God! 

As Jesus Christ's Followers 

And 

Personally Appointed 

And 

Commissioned And Equipped Ambassadors 

Who Are Required To Live To The Higher Standard 

And

Speak The Truth In Righteousness

And

Walk Blameless Before Our Lord And King

- The Judge Of All Flesh - 

We Cannot Speak Of Salvation From 

And 

Victory Over Sin 

And Then

Live Lavishly For Your Known Sinful Self

And

Willingly, Boldly, Brazenly Commit Known Sin! 

When We Knew Not The Lord Of Life

The King Of Glory

He Winked At Our Ignorance! 

We Were Given A Free Pass 

Because 

We Didn't Know Better! 

But ... 

Because We Have Been Made Aware Of The Truth

Aware Of What Is Good And Right 

Because

We Have Either Opened The Good Book For Ourselves 

And

Have Seen Or Been Shown The Truth 

Or Have Been Made Aware Through Our Ears 

By A Talk From Parent, Teacher, Pastor

Priest, Friend Or Well-Wisher

We Are Now Responsible For Our Behavior 

And

Guilty Before Almighty God 

When We Deliberately Sin 

By Walking Contrary To The Light Received

The Truth Obvious! 

Brethren, Beloved

Jesus Christ Personally Died 

For The Specific Sins That 

You Personally Committed 

In Your Very Own Flesh! 

Please, I Beseech Us All

Don't Scorn The Unspeakable Gift 

By Indulging In Planned Wickedness: 

You Will Personally Pay For Your Own Sins If You Do! 

Dare To And Do Good!

 

Do Not Harden Your Heart

And

Become A Reprobate! 

 

HAPPY SABBATH: Enemies, Endurance, And The Patience Process For Everlasting Peace

Sanctification

Is

A Patience Process 

The Work Done In One's Entire Life Time!

It Is Not A Giddy-Up Horsie!

It Is Day By Day

Moment By Moment

One Studied, Steady, Step At A Time!

Do Not Let Your Walk To Mount Zion Be Interrupted 

By All The Race Horses Giddily Zipping By!

You Are Walking In The Defined Steps Of Your Good Master

Whom You Intend To Meet ... Peacefully

In The Great And Glorious By And By!

The Battle
Is 
Not For The Swift Of Foot

Nor Is The Prize Given To Him Who Is Known Strong!

The Battle 
Is 
Won By The Faithful

The Good By God's Grace

The Enduring Servant Who
- As A Faithful Steward -

Is
Conscientiously, Confidently, Humbly, Obedient

Whether He Is Watched

Or Is Working To Give A Report

At The End Of His Day

The One Who Watches, Walks

And 
Works Wisely

The One Who Seeks Never

To His Master's Great Name

To Bring The Tarnish Of

Willful Sin's Besmirching Disgrace!

Watching ... Waiting

Working ... Walking

Willing Wise

No Lover Of Lies!

This Is The Servant Who Arrives Safely At The Gate

Because 

He Has Kept His Place

His Eye On The Prize

His Hand In The Hand

And

His Head Free From Lies

He Is The One Upon Whose Blessed Head

The Gold Crown Of Jesus Christ's Glory 

Shall
       Fitted To Perfection
                                     Eternally Lie!
He Did Not The Will Of His Father
Ever, Ever, Defy Or Deny! 

Brethren,

In This Age Where The "Illuminated" Response 
To Every Good Gift Of The Living, Holy, God 
Is 
Anti-God 
And 
Alternative To Known Goodness 
And 
The Promised Blessings
We Of The Household Of Faith Need To Stand Up 
And
Be Counted By Our Continuing Cooperation With Christ 
If 
It Is Our Heart's Desire 
To See Our Savior In Perfect Peace! 

Going Along With The Ways Of The World 
To Get-Along With The World 
For A Known-Temporary "Peaceful Existence" 
Makes One A Compromised Soul 
And
The Enemy Of Almighty God! 

Now, Just In Case You Don't Know 
How That Will End
Remember That Lucifer
The Most Glorious Of The Heavenly Angels
Became The Enemy Of God: 
His Choice Couldn't, And Didn't, Work Out 
And 
His New Name ... Satan
Marks Him As Adversary, Evil
Condemned 
And 
Damned ... For All Eternity! 

Please Choose Your Final Destination Wisely!
Please Choose Jesus Christ The Righteous One
And 
His Ever-Living, Always Loving, Goodness
And 
Eternal Life 
For The Truly Peaceful Existence! 
Please Trust The Living, Eternal, Holy God ... Of Grace
And 
With Deliberation
Pray ... And Obey ... Always!

In This World

We Shall Have Tribulation

But

Be Of Courage:

Jesus Christ Overcame The World

So That By His Example

We May Overcome The World, Too! 

Our Father Does, Indeed, Know Best!
Of All Known Sin ... Cultivated And Inherited
See To It That You Humbly Confess And Repent!

SINNER MAN: Standing In The Need Of Prayer + PRAYER: Father, I Have An Adversary ...!

One By One They Knocked At

And 
Gained Entrance To 
Sinner Man's Abode:

Faith For Today

     Humble Yourself

          Necessity Of Prayer

               Confession Of Sin

                    Repentance For Sin, And

Abandonment Of Sin

For Perfection
Sinner Man Made The Seventh Man!

Willing Sinning ... His Mercurial Common-Law Wife

Snarkily Commented:

How Nice And Cute!

The Gang's All Here

Probably Wanting To Have With You

A Comfort The Guilty-Soul Affair!

Let's Cheer: Yeaaaaaah!

Sinner Man Was Not Amus-Ed!

He Was Hungering After Christ's Righteousness

And

He Was Desirous Of Being Fed The Bread Of Heaven

And

Willing Sinning Was Doing Her Best Imitation Of A Pig-Head

And

Truth Be Told

He Is Starting To See That Willing Sinning's Heart

To Saving Truth Has Wantonly Grown Cold

And

He Is Finally Getting The Impression That

His Relationship With Her

Is Not 
Going To Be Permitted To Prosper

And

They, Together, To Grow Old!

Said Sinner Man ... Thoughtfully
To His Dying-To-The-World Self:

I Believe The Word!

I Trust The Source!

Willing Sinning Does Not My Life Profit

And I Am Not One Of A Twin

Soooo, I Guess

I Know That As Regards This Dead-End Relationship

It Is Time For Me To Put The Big Chop Upon It!

Said Sinner Man ... Confidently
To Willing Sinning:

I Dearly Loved You Once

But I Do Not Love You Now!

You Are A Lost Cause

So Do Yourself A Nice Favor

And Get To Stepping Out Of My House!

Right Now!

You Entered Empty-Handed

But With Lots Of Pretty Words

And Now I Sincerely Encourage You

To Fill Your Hands With All Your Stuff And Nonsense:

Go Back To Your Family

Those Members Of The Lost-Goat Herd!

Willing Sinning Promptly Went Ballistic!

She Got On Like A Popped Kite!
She Paraded Like A Light Skirt In A High Wind!

She Dug In Her Heels

And 
Sought To Give Sinner Man

A Really Special ... Soul-Rocking
Nose-For-Sin

Sense-Overloading Delight

When, Suddenly

She Turned White As A Sheet

As She Heard Sinner Man Aggressively Say:

Get Thee Behind Me, Satan!

You Have No More A Part In Me!

Jesus Christ The Righteous Is My Savior

And

By His Great Grace

I Am Following After Him Gladly!

To Willing Sinning's Consternation
Sinner Man Had Foolishly Done

What He Had Lovingly Promised Her That
He Would Never, Ever, Ever, Do:

He Had ... In An Instant

Changed His Name To 

Repentant Sinner Man

And

Even Now ... In Her Presence

Was Strapping On 
Blood-Covered Way-Of-The-Cross Shoes!

As Willing Sinning Proudly Strode To The Door

She Spared Him A Wickedly Vindictive Word

Proving That Their Past Relationship 

Was A Lie ... A Lying Convenience
And 
Not About Love:

I'd Have Preferred That 

You Had Experienced 

A Lethal Heart Attack And A Stroke!

We Shall Meet Again ... Yoke Or No Yoke!

You're Nothing But A Joke!

Faith For Today Enveloped Repentant Sinner Man

In His Comfortable Arms

Even As Instant Constant Prayer 
Entered The Room As Willing Sinning Stepped Away!

For Repentant Sinner Man

The Sun Somehow Shone Brighter That Day!

PRAYER:

Father,

You Chose Me And I Chose You!

I Desire Your Blessing

And Ever To Please You!

Blessing Me To Be Prayerful

Joyful, Hopeful

Ever Heeding

For I Have An Adversary

Against Whom I Sincerely Need Your Leading!

Pity Me, Dear Father

And Bless Me To Honor You

To Worship You As You Say

And Always Obey

And Help Me To Have Enduring Faith

Faith That Grows With Each Passing Day!

Thank You For Freedom!

Thank You For Hope!

Thank You For Victory Over Willing Sinning

And

Thank You, Dear Lord

For The Holy Spirit's Teaching

So That With The Vagaries Of This Life

I, By Grace, Will Cope!

I Love You, Lord

And

I Thank You For Hearing And Answering Prayer!

Please Help Me To Humble Myself Before You

For It Is In Jesus Christ's Holy Name

That I Pray And With Living Hope, Plead!

AMEN!

EVIL DISEASE: Self Is A Fool!

No Bad Habit Will Bless
And
No Good Habit Will Curse
So, Let Us About Our Own Soul's Salvation 
Be Aggressively Bold
And
Put Bad Habits In The Gear Called Reverse!

Willful Sin Led Man Into The Curse
And

Jesus Christ Died The Baleful Curse To Reverse

So, Let Us Give Him "Thanks!"

Accept His Free Gift

And

Utter Unfeigned Praise

And

Put Satan On Notice That

Damnation Is Not Ours But His Hearse!

Salvation Is Free To Those Who Choose To Believe!

Damnation Is For Those Who Permit Themselves

To Be Deceived!

The Christ-Follower Is Not Foolish

Will Not Practice Anything Ghoulish

Will Not Be Mulish

Nor Behave About Almighty God's Laws 

As One Who Is Clueless!

Don't Live Your Life For The Crowd

The Views, The Thumbs-Ups, The  Hearts!

Let Your Heart Rest In Peace

Upon Him Who Is Our Peace

And

Depart From Self

Which Is A Known Evil Disease!

The Fool Says In His Heart That 

There Is No God 

So, By Extension

No Sin, No Judgment, No Reward! 

The Righteous Believe God's Word

And 

Tremble

And

Work Out Their Own Soul's Salvation With Godly Fear

Knowing That The Gracious God Holy

For Them ... Personally

Does Sacrificially Care! 

There Will Be No Fools In Heaven

So, Be Watchful! 

Be Wise

And

Let The Living Word Of Truth
Cause You Of The Dominion Of Doom

To Beware! 

Blessing Await The Lord Christ's Faithful! 

Cursings Await Satan's Faithful:

Do Not Let That Be You! 

Lift Up The Holy God!

Live For Jesus Christ:

He Is The Blessing God

- Never A Fraud -

And

Remember

Heaven Awaits The Faithful

The Just

The Kind

The Enduring

The Obedient

The Ever-True! 

Benediction ...

May The Lord Grant Unto Us

A Clean Tongue And Eyes

Unstopped Ears

A Heart Of Flesh Filled With His Love

And 

A Willing, Wise, Obedient

Loving, Faithful, Cooperative Spirit 

Useful In His Service! 

Peace Be Unto You!

HAPPY SABBATH + Seek To Build! + PRAYER: Grant Me The Gift, Dear Father!

Blessed Assurance
Constant, Able, Help
Eternal Security

And
Perfect Peace
Are Gifts 

- Through The Grace Of Almighty God -

From Jesus Christ The Lord

The Hands Of Love
The Redeemer
And
The Restorer Of Each And Every Believing Human!

Satan 

Is 

The Liar

The Accuser Of The Brethren

The Enemy Of Souls
The Cause Of Every Human's Sin

And
He, It Is
Who Insinuates
Interposes Himself
Between Our Self And Our Savior, Jesus Christ
The Sun Of Righteousness
Our Soon Returning Greatly Desired King!

This Purveyor Of Sin

You Must Aggressively Resist!

We Must Not Turn Aside To Fables
And
Be As Those Who Sought To Build
That Sinful Tower Called Babel!

We Are To Seek To Build
The Character Of Christ In Our Own Lives
And
Step Away From The Broken Cisterns
That Cannot Satisfy A Need
No Matter How Much Of Our Heart's Desire
It Is Purported That They Shall Hold!
Do Not By Willful Sinning Be Sold!

Salt Of The Earth!
Light Among Men!
Let Not Satan Cause You To Doubt
To Tremble In Ungodly Fear
So That From Performing Your Holy Mission
He Will Secure A Rout!
Don't Buy That Which He Touts!

Walk In Love!
Live In Hope!
Help Is At Thy Right Hand:
Reach Out For The Son Of Man!

You Confessed Your Sin!
You Repented Sincerely!
Do Not Look Back At What Was!
Walk Ahead With Christ's Hand Of Help
And
You, Brethren Beloved
Shall Assuredly See Clearly!

The Lord Of Life Loves Personally Loves You Dearly!

Jesus Saves!
Jesus Redeems!
Jesus Restores!
Trust Jesus

And
Abide In Christ's Love
Enveloped In Peace
And
No Created Being

Fallen Angel ... Demon

Satan, Himself

Nor Demon-Inspired

Nor Demon-Possessed Man
Can Ever Stop You
From Enjoying The Welcome Home Banquet
For The Eternally Blessed!
The Lord Is Preparing A Wondrous Feast!

Stop Trading In Pharasaic Yeast!
It Is Manufactured By The Eternally Damned Beast!

Jesus Christ, Alone, Saves From Sin!

Trust Him

And

From Besetting, Pet, And Cultivated Sins

You Shall Surely Be Released!

PRAYER:

Father,

I Come Because I Trust You!

I Bless Your Holy Name

And

I Bow Before You

With A Grateful, Thankful, Heart!

I Love You, Lord

And

Into Your Holy Hands

I Commend My Spirit

For It Is By Your Love That

I Live And Breathe

And

Have Any Being!

Please Grant Unto Me

The Gift That Will Help Me

To Remain Faithful

Obedient

And Which

By Enduring Faith

Will See Me Standing On My Lot

In The Day Appointed!

Please Continue To Bless Me

To Do Your Will

To Do All Things According To Your Desire

To Bless The Brethren By My Living

And

To Praise My God

In All Ways For The Rest Of My Days

Or Until Jesus Christ Comes

To Take Me Home

To Be With Him Forevermore!

I Ask These Petitions In Working Faith

Nothing Wavering

And

In The Blessed Name Of The Holy Jesus

Our Soon Returning King, Lord, And God!

Thank You For Hearing And Answering Prayer!

AMEN!

DON'T BE A GOAT: Impossible Position

... So To Put It As Plainly As Imagination Will Permit

Willfully Choosing To Live In Sin
Is 

Like Sailing A Lead Balloon
Attached To A Merchant Ship's Tow Rope
Held In The Atrophied Hand Of 

A Strutting Proud Peacock Of A Man
Wearing Polished Cement Shoes
While Climbing The Himalayas
And
Picking His Teeth With A Broom-Stick!
Do You Think He Needs A Helping Hand!?!

He Needs A Hand
And A New Head
And I Need Understanding To Unpack
What You Just Said!

Don't Cut And Swallow, Friend!
Bite, And Do A 44-Chew!

Are You Ready To Feast!?!

I've Got My Plate!
I Got Sharp Teeth!
Do A Brother A Solid And Release The Feast!

A Willing Sinner Is A Lie!
He Lies On His Conscience
And
The Will Of God He Defies!

His Saying That He Is Authentically Living
Is 

A Luminous Lie
For He Is As Satan
And 

Will In The Lake Of Fire Forever Die!

The "Good Stuff" ...

A Lead Balloon ... An Unpleasant Medicine Ball
Can't Float, Can't Fly
Can't Roll

And
Impossible To Swallow
Hurts If Dropped On The Toe
So It's A Fool
Who Does Not These Fast Facts Know!

A Merchant Ship's Tow Rope
Is 

Bigger Than A Man's Arm
Impossible To Gain Lift
Without Mechanical Leverage
So Bearing It Aloft
Is 

The Lie Of A Man To Truth Aloof
So You Know Of A Surety That This
Is 

A Devilish Spoof!

As To That Hand

There Is No Atrophied Hand That
Can Do Anything But Hang
Or "Blow" In The Wind
So An Atrophied Hand Lifting Load
Is Like A Camel Wearing An Ox Goad!

Ahh, Peacock!
Strutting Peacock!
Good To Look At
Offers No Profit When It Comes To Laboring
So To See A Man As A Proud Peacock
Is 

To See Him As One Lame
A Shame
For His Labor Is Lacking
As He Rises To Visual Fame!

What About Those Shoes!?!

Wearing Polished Cement Shoes
Says Nothing Good About Willing Sinner's Intelligence!
To Get Cement Shoes
It Means You've Been Hog-Tied
Hobbled!
It Means You're A Participant In
What Will Take Your Life
And
The Fact That You Shine Your Cement Shoes
Says That You Believe That They Are Worth Your Time
Even Though You Only Wear
- Not Walk In Them -
And Are By Them
Marked As The Adversary's Fair, Attached
Soon To Be Consumed Prey!

Frankie,

The Doozy In This Debacle
Is 

Willing Sinner, Hobbled
Going On The Extreme Climb
To The Pinnacle Of The World
Thinking ... I'm Mighty! 

And Saying
It's Extreme Climb That I Climb!
While Dressed To Impress
- Not To Protect -
And
Picking His Teeth With A Broom-Stick
Even As He Flies The Unflyable
Walk In The Unwalkable
Wearing Feathers Unprofitable
Utilizing A Hand Unusable
Flexing Rope Untieable
To Attain A Summit By Him Known Unbreachable!

He Sounds Totally Unteachable ...!

... That Is Debatable!

Why!?! How!?!

Frankie, My Friend,
Any Sinner Can Be Saved
When He Sees The Error Of His Ways

Recognizes His Need

Accepts That There Is The Savior

Offering Grace And Mercy And Pardon

And
Chooses To Deny Self
And
Do A U-Turn
And
Away From The Sure Way To Damnation
Toward Sure Salvation Confidently Turn!!

But The Cement Shoes!?!

Jesus Christ Has Provided A Sharp Chisel
That Is The Word Of God
A Two-Edged Sword
That Cuts Going And Coming
And 

Severs Sin And Self From Yearning Soul
And
Makes The Way For The Savior
The Seeking Soul To Enter In!

Be Ye Warned And Fed ...

At The End Of The Willful Sinner's Walk Of Pleasure
- Not Achieved
Impossible To Receive
Destined To Be Unbelieved -
He Realizes That He Has Unmovingly Walked
Climbed Not A Foot
And
Has Been Profited By Not Even A Groat
And
It Is Only In The Judgment That
- Choice Having Been Removed -
He Will Say With All In The Condemned Throng:

Father, God

Spirit Of Truth

Lord Of Light, 

I Was Wrong! 

You Are Right! 

Sin! Sin! Sin Is Soul Blight!

I Was A Fool! 

Of Faith, I Did Not Fight The Good Fight!

Brethren,
By Willful Sinning Do Not Your Soul Blight!
Turn To Christ Jesus

Daily To Be Fed
And
To The Living Kingdom
Be A Regenerated Delight!
For Soul Salvation

The Sin-Cure Sure 

And 

Pure
Fight, Fight, Fight!!

Choose Life

With

The Lord Of Life!
