SUCCESS AT CALVARY: It Is Jesus Christ-Alive, Alone, Who Saves!







If Our Hope In The Living  God 
Is 
Built On Anything Other Than Jesus Christ
His Righteousness
His Successfully Completed Work On The Cross Of Calvary 
And
The Fact That His Was A Sinless Sacrifice 
Totally Accepted By His Father
Then 
I Totally Recommend That 
We All Be Prepared To Be Completely Disappointed 
By What It Is That We Believe Is Better 
Aka More Profitable Than The Lamb Of God 
Who Takes Away The Sin Of The World! 

For Every Gift Of Almighty God 
There Is A Counterfeit Freely Sold By Satan 
And
As A Result
There Are Some In "Religious Royalty" 
Who Are Confidently Broadcasting That 
Jesus Christ Was Himself A Sinner 
And 
An Abject Failure As Our Only Savior! 

Beloved, 

If These Claims Held Water
Our Hope For Heaven Is For Nothing 
Because
The Father Has Not Accepted His Son's Sacrifice For Sin
And
Christ Is Dead
And
Our Promised Salvation
With New Life In This Same Christ
Is 
As The Sand In A Desert Storm! 


Sinners Cannot Live
In
Almighty God's Presence! 

Brethren, Beloved

We Must Each Know The Word Of Our God 
For Our Own Selves! 

We Will Not Understand Everything Now 
But
We Will Surely Understand Hereafter!

"Pastor Preacher Priest Pope Said" 
Is Not 
Proof Of Bible Knowledge! 
Please Read And Study The LivingWord 
For Your Own Education 
And 
Your Own Soul's Salvation! 

Neither Satan Nor Lying Mortal Man Is Our Savior: 
Jesus Christ-Alive, Alone, Saves
And 
The Holy Spirit Teaches Those Who Are Willing 
To Humbly Learn The Truth From Him!
Come To Jesus Now! 

Peace!

Appearances Reveal A Lot!

 



If Your Bird, Your Cat, And Your Dog All Bark 
Which One Is The Real Guard Dog!?!

Nature Wins Out! 

Think About This ...

If Your Church Pastor Is A Noted Bass-Man 
Who Is Suddenly Singing Soprano
And Is A Man At The Church 
And The Lady Of The House Called Home
A Day Trader 
And A Night Walker 
And
Preaches The Most Riveting Sermons Of Truth 
About Another Jesus And Another Gospel
Is He Still The Anointed, Appointed
True, Faithful, Servant Of The Holy God!?! 

Dear Lord!
Even On Paper, This Looks Evil!

Who Is He!?! 
Who Are We!?!
 
What Are We All Saying And Doing!?! 

Are We All Alright With Our Lord!?! 

Beloved, 

Goods Come In Various Sizes, Colors, Packages
Prices
And 
For All Tastes! 
Some Are Good And Delicious! 
Some Smell Sweet But Are Deadly! 
Some Taste Horrid And Are Healthful! 

The Good And Healthful Come In Simple Colors 
And 
Plain Packaging
And 
The Sweet And Deadly Are Delightfully Packaged 
To Overload The Senses! 

How, Then, Does One Shun All Evil 
When Good For You Ain't Appealing To You!?! 

Work Your Gift Of Faith ...

Choose To Trust The Word Of The Lord
Follow The Great Example Aka Jesus Christ
And 
Don't Ever Forget That Good, Right, Truth, Light
Love, Joy, Hope, Peace
And 
Blessing Have No Need Of Added Color
A Run Through The Spin Cycle
The Tender Devotions Of The Polish Brush Or Cloth
Or A Whiff Of The Perfume Called Purity! 

All The Gifts Of God Are Good 
And
A Million Years From Their First Appearance 
They Will Still Look, Smell, Taste
Feel, Speak
And 
Definitely Do As Ordered By The Creator God! 

Inside And Outside
Are The Same Thing!

Goodness Doesn't Need To Glory
Change Its Nature
Speak Itself Into Relevance
Or Be Fashionable 
To Fit In To Execute Its Mission! 

Our Good Lord Jesus 
Is 
The Same Real Savior 
Yesterday, Today, And Forever! 

There Is No Evil In Our Blessed-Forever Jesus: 
Embrace Him
And
Trust His Heart! 

Peace!

If Something Has The Look Of Evil
Don't Make Jokes
And
Call It A Masquerade Costume!

**--**--**--**--** 

A Washed Sow Is Still A Pig
And
A Pig In Pearls
Can Still Tear You Apart!

The Evil That Men Do Lives After Them!







There Is The Famous Expression Which Says: 
"The Evil That Men Do Lives After Them!" 
But
Have You Personally Considered That The Reverse Is Also True: 
"The Good That Men Do Lives After Them!?!" 

Beloved, 

Being A Free-Will Agent
With Freedom To Choose To Do Either Right Or Wrong
Love Or Hate
Do Good Or Evil
And 
To Dwell In The Light Of Life 
Or
Abide In The Darkness Of Death
Which Would You Honestly And With Wisdom Choose!?! 

The Children Of The Light 
Aka The Children Of Day
The Children Of The Heavenly Father 
Should, Without Hesitation Or Reservation
Choose Love, Light, Day, Good, Right
And 
Eternal Life! 

Anything That Is Lawless Aka Sinful 
Has A Short Shelf Life When Compared To Eternity 
So Don't Waste Time 
Going After What Shall Not See The Light Of Life 
After The Lord's Appearing! 

Goodness Grows! 
Hope Heals! 
Happiness Elevates!

And 

Truth, Saving Truth, Radically Transforms! 

Sooo, How About Building 
A Sure House With Bricks Of Goodness 
And 
Plastering Them With The Cement Of Truth!?! 

How About Panelling Your Walls With Trust In God!?! 

How About Having Windows Made Of Faith 
And 
Your Stairways Constructed From Endurance!?! 

Brethren, Beloved

Please Make Your Doors Out Of Obedience 
And 
See That Every Nail And Screw Used 
Is 
Of The Living Word 
Which Unerringly Preserves The Inhabitants! 

Do You Know The Pedigree Of Your Legacy!?! 

It Is Not Too Late To Change Direction! 
Jesus Christ, Alone, Saves
And
Always To The Uttermost! 
Peace!

Be Grateful Aka Thankful!








Gratitude Aka Thankfulness 
Is 
A Grace ... A Gift Given! 

Are You Grateful For What You Have 
Or Are You Looking At The "Good Stuff" 
The Expensive Toys 
Which Are In The Possession Of Other People 
And
Are Making Yourself Miserable About Your Own Life 
Because 
You Refuse To See The Obvious!?!

You Are Greatly Beloved
And
Truly Blessed!

Beloved, 

The Blind One Envies The One Who Wears Glasses! 

The Man Who Wears Cheap Shoes 
Envies The Man Who Wears Expensive Shoes 
But 
Surprise, Surprise, No Shock
They Are Both Envied By The Man Who Has No Feet
The Man Who Has Legs But Can't Walk
And 
The Man Who Has No Legs At All! 

We Need To Be Truly Grateful 
For Almighty God's Many Gifts Of Unmerited Favor 
And
Stop Being Lip Servants
Saying That You're Blessed
While Envy Is Consuming Your Heart! 

We Have Food In Abundance 
Which Gives Us Choices As To What We May Eat 
When And Where! 

We Have Clothing In Abundance 
To The Point That We Can Say 
"I Am Not Wearing That Because It's So Last Year!" 
Or 
"I Wore That Twice!" 
In Base Pridefulness! 

Oh, That We Would Realize That 
The Things We Despise 
Are The Very Things Others Would 
Literally Kill To Possess! 

Food, Shelter, Clothing
Care, Comfort
Peace With God ... And Our Brethren
And 
Good Health 
Are Treasures Beyond Measure! 

Please Honestly Look At The Person In Smelly Rags
Barefooted And Dirt-Encased
Eating Out Of The Garbage
And 
Living On The Street 
And
In Heartfelt Gratitude Say: 

"There, But For The Grace Of God, Go I!" 

Our Gifts Are Many
Our Blessing Are Innumerable
So Please Do Not Consider Them
As Cheap Things Consumable! 

Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: THE BIRTH-RIGHT: Waiting For A Meal Isn't Deadly!









Red Bean Stew Is Delicious 
And
So Are A Multitude Of Other Dishes 
But
Based On Wisdom, Understanding, Knowledge
Blessed Promise 
And
Outright Warning
I Am Not Willing To Sell My God-Given Birth-Right Of 
Eternal Bliss, Peace, Joy And Rest
For The Happy-Belly Joy Of One Meal! 

Would You!?! 

Brethren, 

Almighty God's Sacrifice ... In The Person Of Jesus Christ 
Guarantees Us The Birth-Right Of Eternal Life With Christ 
Aka Immortality
Incorruptibility
A New Name
The Crown Of Life
And 
A Forever Place In The Father's House That 
No One Else May Claim 
Either By Coercion Or Deceit
Quit-Claim Deed Or Supposed Outright Purchase! 

In The Name Of Jesus
Don't Sell What You Can't By Back!

Thirsty Or Supposedly Dying Of Hunger
We Have The Promise That Our Bread And Water Are Sure 
So Don't Stop Short Of The Father's Tents Of Safety 
To Indulge Over-Indulged Self 
And 
To "Enjoy" The Temporary Convenience That 
Eternally Costs! 

Over-Indulgence Is Sin: 
Self-Denial Is Not! 

Waiting On Your Blessing Is No Weight! 

Weighing Convenient Fast-Food As More Valuable 
Aka More Beneficial Than Your Eternal Blessing 
Is 
Unadulterated Folly Aka Bold Sinning! 

Please Think On These Things Now 
While Abundance Is Available! 

Choosing To Miss A Meal Or Two
Just Because You Can
Will Surely Build Self-Control
Aka Staying Power
When Evil Starts Throwing About Its Ungodly Power!

Waiting For A Meal Isn't Deadly! 

Peace!


Don't Live For Your Belly!
Live By Faith!

HAPPY SABBATH: Get Home Safely!


 





I Read A Story About A Young Lady 
Who ... During Her Mid-Teens
Had Asked Her Parents To Place A Tracker On Her Phone 
So That She Could Feel Safe Away From Them
And 
They Would Be Comforted 
Knowing Where She Was At All Times! 

She Had Been Walking Fearful 
Because 
Of The Known Bad Company She Was Keeping! 

How Interesting! 

Beloved, 

We Have Motivated Enemies 
But
Our Father Has Plainly Told Us 
And
We Should Be Patently Aware That 
We Have Holy "Trackers" 
The Faithful Companion
A Guardian Angel
A Recording Angel
And 
The Comforter Who Corrects Us 
And 
Leads Us Into All Truth Being Ever Present! 

Our Trackers 
Are Not To Keep Our Father Informed And Comforted! 
Our Trackers Are There To Guard, Guide
Protect, Correct
Influence Us To Do The Good And The Right 
And
To Keep A Faithful Record Of Everything In Our Lives! 

Why!?! 

Don't You Recall That 
There Is The Lamb's Book Of Life
And 
The Book Of Remembrance
And 
Your Personal Life's Record!?! 

The Record Of Your Life 
Will Either Testify For You
Or Against You 
At The Judgment Bar Of Christ! 

We Have Friends In High Places 
Ministering To Us 
For Our Sure Salvation! 

Our Almighty God Provides For Us 
Before We Have A Need: 
Trust Him Always! 

Our Enemies Are Damned! 

Yes, Indeed
So Dare To Lean On Our Blessed Jesus 
And 
Get Home Safely! 

Peace!

Accepting And Acting On The Truth Sets The Liar Free!







Are You A Practicing Dissembler 
Aka A Deceitful Person 
Aka A Licensed Liar!?! 

Have You Recently Been Made Aware Of It!?! 
Think! 

In The Day Of Your Sure-To-Come Disaster
Is 
There Anyone Who Will Rush To Your Side
To Answer Your Cry For Comfort And Aid 
Or 
Will There Be ... Instead
Persons Showing Up To Make Sure That 
You Are Ingesting A Generous Mouthful Of 
Scalding Comeuppance Tea 
Aka Serve Yuh Right Flavored Water!?! 

Beloved, 

Our Dear Savior Speaks Urgently About Sowing And Reaping
And 
Casting Our Dry Bread Upon The Waters 
And Thereafter 
Eating Our Fill From The Horn Of Good And Plenty! 

He Speaks Of Those Who Have To Give 
And Lying On Their Pocket, Don't And Are Spiritually Poor
And 
Those Who Have Not To Give 
And Trusting Him, Do And Are Truly Rich
And
He Speaks About The Wages That One Earns For Sin! 

Satan 
Is 
The Father Of Lies! 

Liars Kill 
And 
Killers Lie 
But They ... Unrepentant
Will Never Receive Wings Like The Eagle 
With Which To Heaven To Fly! 

Be Ye Warned ... 

Please Don't Speak About Lies To Save Your Face
Lies To Get You Out Of Trouble
Lies As Jests To Amuse The Multitude
Or Lies Told In The Shoot-The-Breeze 
In The "I Have Nothing Better To Do!" Bubble! 

Truth 
Is 
Our Shield ... Our Comfort
All Night And All Day! 
It Is The Gift Of Our Dear Savior-God 
So Please Don't Cast Away Saving Truth
To Gain The Lost Man's N0-Salvation Reward! 

Jesus Christ The Righteous, The King
Is 
The Truth: 
Lovingly Embrace And Peacefully Rest In Him! 
He Knows Your Name And Your Nature
And
He Personally Calls To 
And 
Intimately, Sacrificially, Cares For You! 

Peace!

  
The Peaceful Sleep
Of
The Just
Is
The Gift Of God
To The Heart That Abides
With And In Saving Truth!

SOUL-STRENGTHENING ACTIONS: Kindness Cures Cruelty!








No One Owes You A Gift 
So No Matter Its Cost 
Or From Whom You Received It
It Is A Blessing: 
Give Heartfelt Thanks! 

Being Maliciously Rude 
And 
Unkind To Others To Feel Good About Yourself 
Is 
Cruel And Ungodly: 
Look To Jesus Christ ... The Only One Righteous
And 
Stop The Rubbish 
Since There Is No Blessing That 
Attends Such Reprehensible Behavior! 

No Human Being Is Your Servant 
Unless You Are Paying For The Privilege Of 
Utilizing Their Services: 
Lower Your Pompous Pride Flag 
And 
Do As The Savior Asks: 
Be Humble, Just, Righteous, And True! 

Shredding Someone's Confidence 
To Appear High And Mighty Before Your Friends 
And 
Other Like-Minded Associates 
Shows You To Be Mean-Spirited And Small-Minded: 
Take Your Mind And Your Manners Out  Of The Sewer 
Or That Is As High As You'll Rise: 
Stop Being Satan's Servant! 

Beloved, 

Too Many Of Us Utilizing The Name Christian 
Are Walking Tall As Tithe-Returning
Psalm-Singing
Bible-Thumping Cretins! 
Stop The Rot!

Let's Just Get Off The Slow-Boat To Hell And Damnation 
By The Available, Saving, Grace Of The Eternal God 
And 
Humbly Ask Our Savior For New Hearts
New Minds
New Thoughts 
And 
New Desires For Soul-Strengthening Actions! 

Remember, Remember 
Don't Ever Forget ... 

Christians Cannot Copy The Worldly-Wise 
And 
Still Win The Sin Over-Comer's Crown Of Life! 

Do Good And Right 
To Take Flight 
And 
Eternally Live In Living Light! 

Evil Eliminates Blessings! 

Kindness Cures Cruelty! 

Fervent Prayer Frees! 

Peace Be Unto You!



Peace With Almighty God
Is
Precious!

DOING AS YOU PLEASE: Don't Tempt The Lord!

 





Think About These Things ...

Water Over A Low Flame Simmers! 

And

You May Blissfully Play The Annoying Game 
"I'm Not Touching You!" 
Until The Offended Party Slaps The Snot Out Of You! 

Beloved, 

There Is An Old Saying About Poking A Dog With A Stick! 
Poke The Dog One Time Too Many 
And 
You Will Rue The Day You Walked Without Wisdom! 

You May Be Able To Destroy The Animal Afterward 
But
Surprise, Surprise, No Shock
No One Can Destroy The Creator God
Who Has The Final Say In Everything! 

Answer If You Dare ...

How Long Can We Offend The Lord 
Before He Rocks Our World!?! 

Do Not Tempt The Lord! 

Look Around And See! 
Turn Around And Hear! 
Look Out And Weep For The Multitudes Of People
Young, Old
Rich, Poor
Free And Imprisoned 
Who Believed That 
They Could Control Almighty God's Sweet Tomorrow! 

We Are Promised One Day Of Life 
And 
That Is Today:
Our Today Actions Decide Our Tomorrow Outcomes! 

The Fact Is ... 

If Tomorrow's Sun Rises For Us
The Day Will Be Called Today
So Please Let Us Use Today
This Moment
This Minute
This Hour
This Day
To Accept The Leading Of The Lord 
So That By His Slow Anger Aka His Saving Grace 
We May Rise Above The Morass Of Sin 
And
Walk Unto Sure Salvation! 

Wise Up ... 

Indulging In Folly 
Is Not 
Common-Sense! 

Do The Will Of The Eternal God! 
Walk In The Holy Way That Leads To Everlasting Life
And 
Choose To Accept Mercy ... Available And Free
Because
The Day Of Our Redemption 
Is 
Drawing Near
And
Only Those Of The Household Of Unfailing Faith
- Enduringly Faithful, Obedient, Loving, And Kind To End -
Will Be Redeemed! 

Please .. I Beseech Us All 
Willingly Obey The Lord While It Is Still Today
And 
Be Gloriously Blessed! 

Peace!


Doing As You Please
Does Not Stretch Far Enough
To Allow You To Do "It"
As Long As You Please!

Fearfully And Wonderfully Made!







Almighty God's Great Grace 
Is 
Utterly Amazing! 

The Lord Jesus ... Our Creator
With Amazing Love And Available Grace
With The Superbly Fine Touch Of The Master Hand
Caused Us To Be Fearfully Aka Awesomely
And 
Wonderfully Made! 

We All Know This To Be True 
And In Gratitude 
We Should Joyfully Give Our God 
Great And Glorious Praise
Morning, Evening, Noon And Night! 

Beloved, 

Choose To Think Of 
And 
Dare To Believe On The Lord Jesus Christ! 

We Don't Need To Change 
The Fluids In Our Circulatory System 
Every Three Months! 

We Don't Need To Change 
Our Kidneys After 10 Years! 

We Don't Need Our Legs Rotated 
Or 
Our Hearts Relined! 

We Don't Need Bi-Annual Brain Upgrades! 

We Don't Need Our Eye-Balls Fashionably Upgraded 
Just Because It's What's New On The Runway, Walkway
Or The Tongue Of Mr. Or Ms. It Or Popular Trans It! 

And

We Don't Need Our Mufflers Replaced!

Thank You, Jesus! 

Food Is Our Medicine 
And 
Our Medicine Is Our Food! 

As Long As We Live, We Live
And
When We Die
We Return In Component Parts To Origins: 
The Breath Of Life To Our Creator 
And 
Our Bodies To The Dust From Whence They Came! 

We Are Blessed! 

Don't You ... Even With Regular Aches
Pains, Problems, Pressures
And 
The Gift Of The Power Of Prayer
Think It Is Time To Lift Up Our Lord Jesus!?! 

I Don't Dare You
Because
A Reasoning, Honest, Heart
Should Cause You, Me, Us All
To See The Light Of Life
Get To It! 

Hallelujah, Jesus! 

Peace!

Heaven Will Be Worth It All!







Practice Make Practical 
Aka What You Practice 
You Become Efficient At Performing! 

If You Make A Habit Of Being Kind
You Act Kindly! 

If You Practice Cruelty
You Act Cruelly! 

Beloved, 

The Nature ... The Character Of Our Lord Christ
Which He Requires To Be Reproduced In His Children
- The Saints Of God And Christ - 
Demands That We Practice Gentleness, Goodness
Kindness, Temperance Aka Moderation
Love, Justice, Faithfulness, And Truthfulness
And 
Be Giving And Forgiving! 

Is It Going To Be Easy!?! 
No! 

Can It Be Accomplished!?! 
Yes! 

Is It Worth The Effort Required!?! 
Most Certainly! 

Should I Be Willing To Try!?! 
Only You Can Answer That! 
Remember, Though, No Risk ... No Reward!

No Cross ... No Crown!

Is There Help Available!?! 
It's Just A Prayer Away!?! 

But What If There Are Slip-Ups!?! 
He Who Says Do It Is There To Help You Up 
And
Get You Back On Track! 

Dear Ones, 

Acquiring Bad Habits Requires No Effort: 
That's As Water Down The Hill! 

Acquiring Good Habits Requires Time
         Blood
                  Sweat
                           Tears
                                     Prayers
Endurance
         Faith
                 Hope
                          Love
                                  Trust 
And
The Patience Of The Saints 
Who Are Standing Firmly 
On The "Yeah!" And "AMEN!!!" Promises Of 
Their Creator, Savior, Lord, God, Redeemer, King 
And 
Forever Faithful Friend! 

Pray ... Because He Cares! 
Do ... Because It's True! 
Testify ... Because It Edifies!
Praise ... And Be Raised! 

Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: YOUR CHOICE: Lip-Service Sorry Or True Repentance







Most People's Idea Of Being "Sorry!" 
Is 
With Regard To Being Caught Doing The Thing 
And
Getting Off Cheaply ... Or Without Cost 
And Not
About Actual Repentance Aka Turning Away From The Sin 
And
Not Doing It Again
By The Saving Grace Of The Living God! 

Beloved, 

Think About What You Thought Of Doing
Spoke About Doing
Have Done
Are Doing
Or Are Planning To Do: 
Where's Your Heart!?! 

If You Were Caught Doing The Dirty
Would You Be Truly Repentant Or Lip-Service Sorry!?! 

Which Would Hurt You More: 
Being Caught
Having To Apologize
Being Punished
Being Made Ashamed
Or Recognizing That 
Your Actions Crucify Our Dear Savior Again 
And
Bring His Name To Open Shame 
In The Presence Of Eager Evil-Doers!?! 

Being Repentant To Get Out Of Trouble 
Is 
Demeaning To The One Whom You've Hurt 
And
Insulting To The Lord Christ 
Who Has Gifted Us With Confession Of 
And 
Repentance For Sin 
As The Clear Path To Soul Salvation! 

All Sin 
Is 
Against Almighty God! 

False Repentance Diminishes All Who Consider 
Almighty God's Grace And Mercy 
As Cheap 
And 
Useless Trinkets! 

Please Walk Softly Before Our Lord Jesus 
And 
Choose To Treat Repentance 
As Though Your Life Depends On It: 
It Truly Does! 

Please Don't Sell Your Soul Short 
For A Sure Shot At Vain Glory! 

Offer To The Lord A Broken 
And 
Contrite Heart! 

Peace!
