My God IS God The Creator of All! He Needs No Help From The Children Of The Fall Who Through Disbelief Disobedience and Sin's Decay Have Raised Up Themselves To Where God Must Do What They Say, and He Must Them Daily Pay! - Worship, that is! Creature is Creator Creator Par Excellence Who Makes Mechanically Marvellous Electronics And Says: "god, This ... We are Fantastic!" These Creatures of Clay Make Their Own gods with Eyes that Can't See Ears that Can't Hear Hands that Can't Work Feet that Can't Walk AND ... STILL They Deny Almighty God's Sovereignty With A Lot of High Fallutin' Long Talk Filled with Malignity! They are Trees without Fruit With Rotten Roots Clouds without Rain Heavy ... with no Gain Still Dying, Ever, Always Knowing Pain A Spot A Blot Having No Shame As he His Creator's Name He Profanes!
Because The Word Created Man - I Live! Because The Shepherd Died - I Won't Have To Stay Dead Because The Savior Arose - By His Promise I Shall Awake Because Jesus Christ Lives - I, Too, By His Faith, Shall Live Again ... for Eternity! Because The Redeemer IS Returning - I Shall Inherit A Home In His Father's House! Because of The Pet Pascal Lamb's Spilt Blood - I Can Approach Our Father! Jesus Christ's Innocence Paid For My Guilt! By His Cruel Death at Calvary The Balance of Power Did Tilt, and If I Would Accept That The Gift Is Not Gilt I Will Be Clean - Not Covered in Silt! I Can Trust The Living Word of The Glorified Master Whose Love for Me Is Eternity Wide I Will Lie On The Sacrifice-For-Sin Altar And By Jesus Christ's Everlasting Merits Cross To God Over The Great Divide! Let No Creature - Seen nor Secreted - Kill Your Hope-in-Jesus Tree Water The Roots And Lovingly Tend and Manure It - with The Living Word - Freely! If Our Seed-Faith Is Christ-Sound And The Glory-Light Resplendent Abounds With The Pruning of Repentance and Confession, and The Tillage of Humble Prayer Abundant Hope - in God Fulfilled - Will See Us In The Heaven-bound Holy Throng On The King's Golden One-Way Highway! Pass This Word Along!

Which is Great for Your Protection
If
You Pray Every Day!
Do You Have An Umbrella? Who OR What Is Your Umbrella? How Is Your Umbrella Working Out For You? Would You Share Your Umbrella?
Or, Maybe, Perhaps, Just Possibly ... Is Your Umbrella In Pristine Never-used Condition Operating As a Dust Catcher OR Prized Souvenir OR A Dead Talisman?
An Unused Umbrella Is A Waste
It Just Takes Up Valuable Real-estate Space
You Prop It Up - It Lays Right Down
You Lay It Down - You Fall Over It ... And You Frown
You are Important, Famous, Wealthy, Appealing, Knowledgeable, Knowing, and Mighty Enough To Save Me!
I have Money of my own - I can buy my own Food!
Yes, I have money all my own - I can Purchase my own Clothes!
All that I Desire of You, is Your Name! No more, no less. Just let me Bear Your Name so that The Goode People can't Call me The Whole Whore any more! Please Take The Shame Out of my Face!"
So said Sephorada to Shiloh.
What had brought on this Outrageously Emotional - and Publicly Demeaning - Display?
Why is Sephorada begging Shiloh to Marry her when Everybody Knows that they are in a Committed Relationship?
Hmmm ...
Previously ...
Sephorada and Shiloh were in Love with each other.
They were Made for each other, and Everybody spoke of how well The Relationship was going and how good they Looked together, and how sure they were that their future Marriage would be Prosperous, and Fruitful in the Multiplying!
Everybody Believed that in The Fullness of Time, Sephorada and Shiloh would Declare their intentions, and that The Decree of Commitment would go forth to all The People publicly declaring that they were Joined for Eternity.
Strange, how you think you know people and The Truth Is A Disappointment.
Shiloh is The Absolute Kindest, Friendliest, Most Honest, Nicest, Blessingest Person you will ever meet this side of Eternity. He Walks and Talks like he Knows The Living God ... up Close and Personally! Shiloh is Polite, soft-spoken, helpful, caring, motivated - The Perennial Provider, and He Loves Sephorada - as he, Himself, says - Eternally! Sephorada, on the other hand, is Everything you would expect from a Volatile, Wild Child, and Loving Lady with Champagne Tastes and Surviving - Allegedly - on a Mauby Budget, after having been Born and Raised, and is Living on The Other Side of the Goode Tract! If Truth is told, Everybody with a Working Conscience will Honestly tell you that Sephorada is a Light Skirt! At least she was until Shiloh picked her Literally off the Street and publicly Claimed her for His Very Own! He Placed His Love on Public Display! All he asked of Sephorada was Fidelity, and Life was Great ... for a while. Well, as Ladine Fate would tell it, Sephorada was Batting Left and Bowling Right! Sometimes, it is said that she is an All-rounder! And Shiloh - who seemed to be everywhere at given anytime - Knew about it, and did not seem to let her "Past" stop him from Loving her Endlessly! Shiloh kept on Showing Sephorada what True Love Looks Like! As He, himself, said: "True Love Is Not Blind!" Sephorada was also hanging out in Idol Groves, a place Noted for its Promulgation of Choice Gods, and Gay Abandon! Shiloh had asked Sephorada to put her Past in The Past, and to Turn Away from That Life, and to Commit To Him and His Ways for he could Make Her Whole - she had said "Yes!"
Shiloh has High Ideals and Maintains High Standards of Excellence, and I guess that you know that Shiloh is not going to Play Pretty Push-over just to have Sephorada! I also guess that you Know that There Is Trouble in The Land, and The Goode People were talking about Sephorada and calling her "That Harlot!" and "Ungodly," and saying that she really needed The Shepherd, and that if she did not Turn Away from her Love of The Mall at Fleeting Things she was going to get herself Officially Branded as one of The Apostate and Lost Souls!
For Your Information ... Sephorada was a Seriously Bad Influence for many of The Unmarrieds and, Suprisingly, quite a few of The Members of The Faithful Few were Dancing and Cavorting and Worshiping with their Supposed Opposites at Loose Lips and Heart Slips! It soon became Apparent that Sephorada was on The Payroll of That Notorious Break-Down Merchant, Natas Nam, himself! After that Episode of Begging, Pleading, and Beseeching, and Shiloh's Summary Rejection of her Insulting Offer to Bear His Name to Hide Her Shame, Sephorada's Life got Ugly, Really, Really Ugly, Really, Really Fast! Anyway, I will not Bore you with The Terrible Details of what Finally Caused Sephorada to "Come To!" I will ask you to Remember these Statements, though:
You Carry Your Own Pigs To Fine Market
Hide and Buy Land Can't Hide and Reap Land
What Goes Around Comes Around
Planters of Indian Corn Don't Reap Guinea Corn
Who Help You Buy a Big Belly Horse Won't Help You To Feed It
Today For Me - Tomorrow For You
Know What You Grow, and
Out of Darkness Into Light
What I will also Tell you is that Throughout Sephorada's Constant Backsliding and Re-connection and Re-commitment, Shiloh Stood Up and Pleaded ... and Pleaded ... and Pleaded ... His Eternal Love for His Beloved. He Watched Over her, all the while Permitting her Space to make her Own Decision to walk wholly with him, and in Faith! Shiloh never once Tried to Force Sephorada to Come Over to His Way of Thinking. Shiloh Never Gave Up on Sephorada, and he Remained Ever Faithful. As for Sephorada, until she Acknowledged that Life Without Shiloh was Life in The Pits, she Bought, and Paid For, and Ate The Very Bread That The Devil Kneaded, and she Wears those Scars to This Day! Nevertheless, when she Finally Confessed, and Truly Repented to Shiloh for her Profligate Lifestyle, and Turned Away from The Past, he Willingly Embraced her, and he Gave her an Eternal Supply of Beauty For Ashes Parfum. It was a Beautiful Reunion! However, those who Saw The Evidence of The Real Change in Sephorada, and Chose to Ignore it, and Continued Down The Broad Way, The Judgment Seat of The Ancient of Days Awaits.
I Grew Up Hearing: "Never Bite The Hands That Feed You!" "Never Burn Bridges You May Have To Re-Cross!" I Took Those Words to Heart And in Life made of them a Good Chart! Modern Man Obviously Did Not Get The Memo! "What God?" they question. And their New Age Knowledge says:
"God is Dead!"
"We are God!"
"Forget God!"
"You Don't Need God!
You've Got A Head!"
With this Reasoning In Place, there is:
Don't Follow God
He has no Learned Degree
And if He even had one
He didn't Pay The Graduation Fee!
God Has:
No Graduate Degree
No Post Grad Study
No Doctoral Degree
No Fellowship Work
No Peer Reviews has He
No Published Studies
No Grants
No Commissions
To give Him Pretty Pedigree!
With this State of Affairs No "In" with The Players God has No Proud Position And Many Naysayers! BIG PROBLEM!! God IS The Creator Of both Man and The Earth And With That Prominent Standing Man's Common Sense Shows Dearth And Faithful Christians Cannot Join Them In their Folly and their Mirth! The Living God IS The Ruler His Will IS The PROTECTED Way And no matter what Man Says or Does Almighty God Holds Wins The Great Day! Saying God Is Not Really God Doesn't Make It The Truth, and Denying God His Sovereignty Does Not Remove The Attachment nor The Creator's Glue! Educated Man May Lie All He Wants Denying All The Evidence True Twisting The Truth Making Truth Turn Corners Making Truth Skin Cuffins and Coloring The Truth But At The End At The Judgment His Previous Lack of Repentance Is Going to Eternally Destroy The Unrepentant Lie Is Truth Crew!
At the Religiosity Factory Knowledge of The Truth is Proscribed By Minds in The Hive Of Him Who Wears The Light as Disguise. In The Knowledge Vacuum No one Designated as Faithful Is Permitted to Know ... For Certain Sure That Jesus Christ - The Door Made Public - and Free - for Those Seeking The Peaceful Shore Sacrifice Standard, Paid-in-Full Lamb's Blood Level Salvation Vouchers! Salvation Is Free To Anyone Who Will Believe on The Glorious Name! The Masters of The Unique Verse Those Liars who After Sin Constantly Do Thirst Grabbing Hold of The Lie That Lucifer Satan and Jesus Christ are Power-Reversed Sell A Bill of False Goods to Those who would in Their Lives Let The Working of The True Holy Spirit Reverse The Death Curse! The Love of The Holy God is Denied The Efficacy of The Death of Christ is Belied The Need of Confession and Repentance is Circumscribed The Fact of The Need to Accept God's Free Grace is - like shrimp - Butterflied In order for Certain Damnation and Calculated Destruction At The Appointed Time May Collide! The Holy and The Profane The Rich and The Poor The Foolish and The Wise The Sinner and The Saint The Weak and The Strong All Need to Think Hard and Look Long for Jesus Christ - The Conquering King - is Coming Down! Trust God's Truth or Trust Satan's Lie Jesus Christ does not sell Pie in The Sky But Satan, Old Roaring Lion de Liar, Satan Is Desirous that You with him Should Eternally Die! So Get Out of The Religiosity Manufactured Bible Knowledge Factory Repair to Jesus Christ Who Died for Us on Mount Calvary! No Truth or Dare Picking of Game Categories! No Need to Use Amulet Phylacteries Disguise Nor Spies To Know that God Cannot Fail nor Tell Lies! Reach Out Call Out To Jesus Christ Otherwise You will Ball Out At Your Eternal Demise When The King from Zion Bursts The Skies As All Heaven Rides Victoriously To Claim Christ's Faithful Glorified Bride!
