So, if you are in need of a place to rest and be refreshed during your busy day, please come on in for a while. You will be blessed. 1 Corinthians 3:16 - Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you? ALL MATERIAL IS FREELY AVAILABLE FOR RE-USE!
After Much Ado about everything Wrong, Iffy, Annoying, Distracting, Disturbing, Sinful, and Oppressing and Depressing in My Life - and in The World - I have Decided I Cannot Really Live Without Waiting on The Lord! I Cannot Do Much to Help Myself! I Cannot Wake Me Up Without The Master Holding Me Up, so There's No Doubt That My Life without Him Would be a Major Muck!
My Eyes Serve ...
Meals My Stomach Can't Digest!
My Mouth Writes ...
Checks That My Person Can't Cash!
My Carnal Heart Yields ...
A god That My Now Saved Soul Can't Worship!
My Feet Have Walked ...
The Path that Can't Lead to Heaven!
My Faith-In-Jesus-Sense Tells Me ...
That What I Oft' Hear For Gospel Is Pharisee Leaven!
So, In Short ... Without The Master - I am Tempest Tossed! Without The Savior - There Is No Payment of My Costs! Without Belief - Faith is Milk Froth! Without Faith in Jesus Christ ... I Am Forever Lost!
Note to Soul:
Self Worship is Idolatry!
Self Praise is Vanity! and
Self Pleasure is Not Even A "Thing!" Go Against All Worldly Wisdom and
Get Right with Jesus Christ!
Know The Shepherd - Get in The Fold Otherwise The Hereafter Will Be Very Hot - Not Cold! TRUST GOD ... NO MATTER WHAT!
My Mouth Just Simply Dropped Open! My Heart did a Flip Flop! And I said to My Self: "Lord Almighty, I Sincerely Hope Not!" I had Always Believed that I went to Church to be Healed! I Obviously did not Understand that it was a place to have my Senses Tickled and Teased! They spoke of all The Feelings that would be Experienced on my Skin But I, what I really Need is to Feel Jesus Christ Within!
What's Wrong With Christianity Today?
Churchianity
and
Preachertainment!
The Church Building is a Production Facility! The Sanctuary is The Sound Stage! The Preacher - as Entertainer - is The Star of The Show! Opening Acts of "Worship" Dancers and "Anointed" Singers Set The Mood! The Congregants are The Paying Public! Tithes and Offering are Box Office Takings, and Almighty God, Jesus Christ, and The Holy Spirit are Popular Freaks in The Side Show! Jesus said: "I Am come to seek and to save that which was lost ...!" Preachertainer says: "Lost! You haven't got any reason be lost! You do love Jesus, don't you?! Then ... You Can't Be Lost!"
Jesus said: "Repent!" Preachertainer says: No need to "repent" like those Sinners in the World!" God made you that way! You are just being who God made you to be! You are not hurting anybody! Plant a Seed, and just move along - it will all work out at the end!"
Jesus said: "Confess your sin. I am Faithful and I will forgive you!" Preachertainer says: "Sin is just ... well ... subjectively objectively subjective! (You know he is a liar! ... And he is calling God a liar in double-speak!) To Sin is to be Human! God knows you love Him! God knows you, and He loves you no matter what you do! He sees you and He knows your weaknesses, so it's all good! Just keep praying and repenting, and paying your pledges, and it will all work out!" N.B.: If something is Objective it is Fact! - Almighty God calls Sin by its True Name! If something is Subjective is is Opinion! - Our Reclassifying Sin Doesn't Change God's Designation!
Based on the foregoing, can we say that The Popular Pastors, Priests, Teachers and Prophets of today, are au fait with The Oracles (Word) of God? Can we say that The Popular Pastors, Priests, Teachers and Prophets of today understand that The Oracles (Words) of God are alive and are not to be interpreted according to Man's own choosing? Can we say that these Men and Women of The Cloth are True Shepherds, sincerely seeking after the Salvation of Men's Souls, and that they are teaching and preaching the Undiluted, Unadulterated, Unvarnished, Unbiased Word of The True and Living God?
When Jesus Christ was upon Earth, never once was it told anyone to come and EXPERIENCE God! Never once in The Holy Scriptures are we told to come see The Gospel a/k/a The Good News EXPLODE! If this is all true, why is it that this Laodicean (Luke-warm) Church that Jesus Christ, Himself, PROMISES to spit out of His Mouth, deem it totally relevant, and a prescription, that this Church - totally offensive to God - make itself and it's works seem Rich, needing nothing from God, when it is abysmally poor in Spirit, with its shame nakedly exposed, and its nakedness shamefully laid bare, and is blinded by the accoutrements of corporeal complicity, and waxing fat, and gross on gain-saying gold!? If we are truthful, we will see that this Church Age is pontifically pitiful, and positively putrid in its preaching for profit and praise!

When did you acquire your God?
Where is your God's home?
Why do you prefer your God to Almighty God?
How well is your God serving you?
If your God and Almighty God had a creative contest, which God would be The Creator?
Can your God on its own merits, and under its own self-incarnation Stop Time, Start Life, Light Light, Halt Hell, Save Souls from Sin, Heal Hearts of Hurt, and Love Loose-mouth, Lazy, Licentious, Layabouts like us who add nothing to his bottom line?
If your God is God, can you ask him to show you your Life After Time, and in Panorama, and in True and Living Color, and making it of his Personal Eternal Design?

A place to live
Even clothes and shoes
If your God has Holy Angels, and fire chariots too
Their Father set The Example His Children Followed The Way They all Walked After The Devil Not One of Them Ever from him Strayed! The Mother Set The Example Her Children Followed The Way Boy and Girl Alike Worked in The Flesh Pots Money and Access to Things Held Sway! We Looked at Both of These Examples We Sought to Learn Another Way And That Is When We Learned of The Godhead And Sought to Let Them In Our Lives Have The Say! This Godhead Really Had It Going On Three Distinct Personalities Three Distinct Operations Father, Son and Spirit in Agreement Three! The Son Called His Father His God! The Father Called His Son God, Too And Father and Son Held High The Holy Spirit Saying:
"Blaspheme The Holy Spirit
and
There Is No Forgiveness for Any Of You!"
The Father, The Son and The Holy Spirit Agree in Everything in Heaven and In Earth And They All Had Agreed That The Son Would go to The Earth to Be Birthed! They Had Agreed Before The Earth's Creation That The Son was To Be The Willing Sacrifice And At The Start of The Son's Earthly Ministry These Three Were Individually - at One and The Same Time - Identified! Jesus Christ, The Son, Came Out of The Water of Baptism and As The Holy Spirit Descended on Him - The God Man His Father's Voice from Heaven Testified:
"This Is My Beloved Son, In Whom I Am Well Pleased!"
After Which He Went To The Desert To Be By Satan Cruelly Tried! The Son Said He Did What His Father Did - He Worked The Spirit Says What He Hears The Message is Marked The Meaning is Clear There is No Tangent - No Misinterpretation to Fear! These Three are Cooperation Epitomized These Three Cooperate for Mankind by Them To Be Justified, and In The Great Day Glorified These Three Do All To Help Man To Answer The Master's Call These Three By Jesus' Death Did All To Heal The Breach Created By Adam's Fall! The Example The Three Set is The Example Of What Right Through Light Can Achieve The Father Commanded and The Son did Obey And The Holy Spirit Comforted Him On The Way! The Son Was Sacrificed So That Man to His Father May Be Reconciled! At The Appointed Time That Son Did Arise and He Went Back To The Father But Sent Down The Holy Ghost To Guide His Believing Children Whom He'd Promised Never To Leave Standing Directionless and Alone, Bereft and Lost! The Son Before The Father Petitions For Our Peace Stating Quite Clearly:
"Father, I Paid Their Price!"
Let Them to Us Come Home!
Please Grant The Release!"
I Make These Points To Say This:
Any Example IS An Example
And It Will Be Followed - Even Slavishly - By Somebody!
Therefore, Since, As Christians
We Are The Head - Not The Tail
Let Us Not Set Any Old Kind of Example
Let Us Not Set A Bad Example
Let Us Not Set The Example Misconstrued
Let Us Not Set The Example Subject to Interpretation!
Let Us Set The Example of The Exemplar!
Let Us Set The Example of The Holy - Not The Profane!
Let Us Let Our Example Be Worthy of Our Christian Calling!
Let Us Shine An Exemplary Light In The Darkness, Again And Again!
1. Conversion or transfer of the Money/Soul from what it was to what is desirable i.e., Dirty Money to Clean, and Sinful Soul to Saint! 2. Conceal the Money/Soul's History Forever, i.e., through a Planned Process, "wash" the Money/Soul of its stench of Illegality/Sin and, by a process of Movement, Relocation, and Ownership Transfer, Render the Dirty/Sinful Clean/Saved! 3. Acquiring, Possessing and Using Money/Soul knowing full-well that its origin is Unclean!
We Are BORN With The Sinful Nature
and
We Sin
In Our Thinking
In Our Speaking
and
In Our Actions!
Jesus Calls Us!
We Wrestle With The Holy Spirit!
We Finally Yield The Battle and Answer The Call!
We Confess Our Sins!
He Forgives Us and Cleans Us!
He Remakes Us!
We WALK ... By Faith ... In Him
for
We Are New Creatures!
We WORK For The Kingdom ... By Faith In Him
Until We Die
Or
He Comes For Us!
NOW ... We are All Sinners having Sinned against God, and We All Fall Short of His Glory! In our Fallen State, we Cannot Hope to Approach God's Throne, and Live! BUT ... We have an "IN!" There is a Man a/k/a The Son of Man who has Direct Access to "The Big Man" a/k/a God Almighty, Himself, for He IS The High Priest of Our Profession, and He IS in Heaven ... INTERCEDING! Word on The Street is that The Son of Man IS The Prince of Peace who IS The Only Begotten Son of God Almighty! Word?? WORD!! Word also is that The Prince of Peace IS Creator God a/k/a Prince Immanuel, being interpreted IS "God With US!" It is also said that Prince Immanuel IS The Lamb of God and IS God Almighty a/k/a The Father's Pet, and it is a Well-known Secret that God Almighty gave Everything in Heaven, on Earth, under The Earth, The Sea and all that is in them into The Hands of The Pet a/k/a Jesus Christ a/k/a Big JC, even though He allowed Big JC to be sacrificed for, get this, "The Sins of The World!!" Anyway, it seems that to Access the "IN" that the Outliers a/k/a Sinners have to "The Throne of Grace" a/k/a The Heart of God, one has to use The Comforter a/k/a The Holy Spirit!
FYI - the Key Code to The Comforter is found in some ancient book often called a "Dead Letter" but popularly known as "The Holy Bible" by The Christian Crew whose leader, Faith, told Seeking-Soul The Code is actually !!PrAaAyER!!
!!PrAaAyER!! is Personal! Powerful! and The Petition of The Pleading Heart!
Spread The Word!
Now, in order not to "Get Burned" as a Member of The Goat Group, and to Get a Seat on "The Heaven-Bound Boat Full of Beautiful Believers Bought With Blood," we must follow these next steps Exactly! 1. Show Recognition of Our Lost State 2. Acknowledge That We are Dry-boned Sinners 3. Believe on The Lord a/k/a Big JC a/k/a Jesus Christ for The Saving Of Our Souls 4. Confess Our Sins a/k/a Tell the Truth of Our Sinfulness 5. This IS The Biggie: REPENT a/k/a Turn Away from Sin 6. Walk through The Watery Grave a/k/a Get Baptized 7. Put Our Shoulders to The Plow a/k/a Walk and Work by Faith in Jesus Christ a/k/a The Savior of Mankind a/k/a The Door a/k/a The Way To Life Everlasting! 8. Don't Trust Our Eyesight 9. Move out of The Shadows and Progress According to The Light of Life a/k/a Jesus Christ a/k/a The Word Made Flesh 10. Walk Holy for Jesus Christ IS Holy - Don't Look Behind, and 11. Fear God - With a Godly Fear (He has The Right To Kill Us But Doesn't For He Gives Us The Right To Call Him Lord and Friend When We Turn Away From Sinning)

I listened and I heard oft' repeated The Word ALMOST ... and My hair got curled! ALMOST ... in Christianity is What an "F-Bomb" is to Right-thinkers Of The World ... but I digress! This is how The Story goes: The Almost Rich Is Almost Happy! The Almost Married Was Almost Pregnant! The Almost Believing Was Almost Persuaded! The Almost Reconciled to Almighty God His Sin Almost Recognized! The Decidedly Human believes He is Almost God! He who Almost Heard The Word Thought God was Almost Great! He who was Almost Faithful was Almost Helped and Almost Healed but for the Fact In Jesus Christ he Almost Believed! The Almost Christian Whose Life was Almost Holy Cried because in God his Life was Almost Perfect! The Almost Famous thought He and God were Almost Friends! Almost Persuaded said he could Almost Say that there is God but Since he had not personally met God He will say that he could Almost Believe In a Real God! He who was Almost Ready to Change Almost Listened to The Gospel And said it is Almost Too Hard to understand! What is wrong with this "story?"
"... Almost thou persuadest me to be a Christian!"
Acts 26:28
What is The Expected End to such a position IF Our Very Real, and Almighty God should come right this very minute? What would your expression be if He God said to you right this very minute:
"I Almost Saved You
When You Almost Believed in Me!
But, since You only Almost Trusted Me
I will definitely tell You that You are Assuredly Lost?"
In the Realm of Heaven, there is not one thing that falls into the category of Almost:
We are Saved by Grace Through Faith.
We are Redeemed by The Blood of The Lamb.
We are Reconciled unto God by Jesus Christ's Merits.
We have Homes in Glory.
We will have Golden Crowns.
We will have Stars in our Crowns.
We will Freely Access The River of The Water of Life.
We will see Jesus Christ as He sees us.
We will have Eternal Life.
We will have Immortal Bodies.
We shall never Grow Old.
We shall Never Die for
We shall have been Changed.
ALMOST is just about The Most Egregious Word that a Christian can use EXCEPT right here, and right now, when he Cheers himself by saying:
"I am ALMOST HOME!"
as he Struggles under The Burden of a Living Faith while Appealing To, Working For, and Looking Toward, Heaven! Otherwise, ALMOST is a Self-Prescribed Death Sentence!
I spent the day laid up And all that I could hear Was siren after siren Screaming, screaming as they passed my way! The Noise - it was Incessant It got under your skin I almost wished it would stop But ... I started to look in: These sirens told The Story Of what Mankind had Lost It also told The Message of What Sin itself had us Cost! Had we Listened to Our Maker Had we not Failed The Test We would not now be Suffering the Results of Death By Sin's Request!
