SALT!! + PRAYER: Father, Please Raise Us Up!





S.A.L.T.
Used To Be
The Strategic Arms Limitation Talks
BUT
S.A.L.T. ... To A Christ-Following Christian
Means
Seeking After Light And Truth
That Stops Satan
AND
The Machinations Of The Minions
AND
Benefits And Blesses
Both Me And You!

Salvation Awaits!
The Lord's Truth I Speak!
Let No Man Or Devil Shortchange You!
Head For Glory
AND
Gain Immortality
AND
Eternal Youth!

*********

Heyyy! How Are You?
Stomach Empty!
Bed Warm!
Eyes Cloudy!
Trusting God!
What About You?

Eating ... But Thirsty!
Walking And Waiting!
Looking For Light!
Suffered A Fright!

Wow! Do Tell!
You Sound Serious!

I Am Very Serious!
I Sat In The Congregation
Hoping ...

Do You Think That God
Would Encourage A Professed Christian
To Do Evil To Gain A Good?!

No! That Is Sinful!
God Cannot Sin
And By His Own Word
Be Still God!
God Does Not Operate That Way!
God Does Not Tempt Man!
It Is Man's Lusts
Which When Conceived
That Bring Sin!
...  And We Know Where THAT Leads!

You Ever Ate A Meal That Left You Really Thirsty?
Sure! If Too Much Salt Was In The Food!

The Last Sermon At Church Was Like That!

The Food Supposedly Coming From The Lord
Had Too Much Salt Of The Earth!
Only Problem Was
The Salt Had No Savor
And All It Was Good For
Was To Be Thrown To The Ground
And As A Result
Everybody Washing Out Their Mouths On God
On All The Christians
Willfully Sinning Or Not!

And, Now, I Am Thirsty
Really Thirsty ... For God!

I Won't Go Into The Nitty Gritty
But I Will Give You A Hint:

Inside The Head Of Man
Is A Brain Not Made Of Lead!
Below The Navel Of Man
Is A Little Brain
By Which Lust Is Fed
AND
I Will Broadly Ask You This:

How IS It
That We Know When Others Commit Sexual Sin
But When The Pastor Has Got
A Girlfriend
A Boyfriend
Children And A Wife
Everybody Important Says
He's Misunderstood
And That Those Not Illuminated
Need To Get A Life!?

You're Kidding, Right?!
Wrong! So Very Wrong!

Don't They Know
That Judgment Begins
In The House Of God?
Don't They Understand
That Leading People Astray Is A Tenet Of The Fraud?!
Don't They Believe That What God Says He Will Do
He Will Do?!
Don't They Know That They Will Be Held Responsible
For Another's Soul
When They Know Of Sin
And Don't Warn A Brother Sister
Who Is Not Walking True?!

Ezekiel 14:21
Says God Has Four Big Sticks:
Famine
Sword
Noisome Beasts
AND
Pestilence!

Famine 
Is Not Just For Food 
But Also For The Word
That Is Roundly Despised!
A Sword 
Can Cut You Down To Size
Or Take Your Life!
And There Are Noisome Beasts
Things That Are
Annoying, Unpleasant, Offensive, Harmful 
To Expose Your Life
Or To Take You And Your Life Apart!
AND
Pestilence aka Dread Disease
To Menace
AND
If Unstayed
To Even Destroy Your Life!

Those Big Sticks Are Progressive
AND
They Do Worse And Worse
To Gain Our Attention
If We Do Not Humble
Or Refuse To Humble
Ourselves!

We Should Know 
Not To Play With God!
We Can't Surprise Him!

We Should Know 
Not To Try To Tempt God!
We Can't Outwit Him!

We Need To Know 
That We Can't Deny God
For Our Defiance
Won't Deny Him His Authority Over Us!

AND ...

We Really Need To Accept That
We Can Really And Truly Walk Away From God
For The Final End Of A Man's Life's Journeys
Is In The Presence Of Almighty God!
Judgment Day Is There For Us All Waiting!

We Need To Recognize Our Need
For Jesus Christ The Lord
AND
Repent!

Amen! Amen! AMEN!





PRAYER:

Lord, Pity Us
And Forgive Us
For Our Acts Of Folly
And
Have Mercy On Us
When We Are Then Caused To Walk
In Disgrace
And
When We Bow Our Heads In Supplication
As We Avidly Seek After You
To Take Shame From Our Face!

Father,
Please Raise Us Up 
So That We May Lift You Up!
Please Hold Our Hand
So That We May Firm On The Word Stand!
Please Take Us Under Your Sheltering Wings
When Satan Does
Hell's Flames Fan
And
Help Us To Honor
Worship
And
Faithfully Praise
Our Redeemer
The Living One Holy
The Risen Son Of Man!

Lord, Help Us
To Walk The Straight And Narrow Way
So That For Our Own Sins
We Don't Have To Eternally Pay!
In The Name Of Jesus Christ
The Only One Who Saves
We Humbly Plead 
And Also Say
We Love You, Lord!
AMEN.

PRAYER: Father, Help Me To Pray With Diligence ...!




Father,
I Come As A Child!
Please Hear My Prayer
For
By And In Jesus Christ's Faith
I Choose To Follow After Thee
Because
I Do Not Desire To Face
A Rolling Stone's Destiny!

I Desire, Lord
A Place Of Rest
An Anchor
A Shelter
In That Place Of Honor
Where Believing Souls
Are Truly Blessed!

Father,
Help Me This Day
To Live In Your Light
Finding Heavenly Love
Joy's Laughter
And
Grace's Delight!

Let Knowledge Of Your Word
Bring True Wisdom
And
Understanding
And
Help Me Not To See Myself
As One Flying High
For, Lord
I Fear Folly's Crash Landing!

Father,
Help Me To Pray With Diligence
For Your People
That You Promised Are In Other Flocks
To Pray For The Advancement
Of The Words Of Life
That They, Too
May Find The Love Of The Lord Christ
A Fulfilling And Heavenly Delight!

Lord,
Help Me To Speak Kind Words
To Bridle My Tongue
To Extend A Helping Hand
To Give A Genuine Smile
And
Not To Ever Display
An Off-putting Selfish Man's Frown!

Oh, Lord
I Pray For The Former Rain
That Causes Seeds To Bud!
I Pray For The Latter Rain
So That There Is A Great Harvest
For Our Holy God
The King Of Love!
I Pray For The Loud Cry
To Go Forth
Calling The Sheep
Who Know My Lord Christ's Voice
And
I Pray For The Outpouring Of The Holy Spirit
So That There Will Indeed Be
A Joyous Celebration
In Glory Land
Where The Holy People
Will
Immortalized
Praise God
And
Rejoice Unendingly!

Lord,
When You Shall
In Your Eternal Kingdom Come
Remember Me
And
All Who Call Upon That Name
In Faith
With Hope And Love
Trusting
That The Oracles Of God
Are Sacrosanct
Truth
Walking In Obedience
Moment By Moment
Believing In The Promise 
Of The Newness Of Life
And
Living By Christ's Faith
Not Trusting In Man's Sight!

Almighty God,
You Who Is The Only One Faithful
Please Increase Our Faith!
You Who Is The Only One Just
Please Lead Us Home
By Your Promise To The Just!
Help To Live Right
Not Spoiling For A Fight
So That We
As Children Of The Peace-Giver
Will Live Godly
By Doing Right
And
Not Grandly
By Abusing Might!
Please Forgive Us
Who To You
For Forgiveness Do Pray
For We Love You, Lord
And
In Jesus Christ's Holy Name
We Humbly Plead!
AMEN.

Unforgiven! + PRAYER: Lord, Please Heal Our Backslidings!




I Have Not Met Him
AND
I Do Not Want To
For I Fear
If I Do
That He Will Look Like Me!
That He Will Look Like You!

Huh?!
Who Are You Talking About?

Fuamwils!

What!?
Who Is ...What Is ...?!
Explain Yourself!?!

It Is Like This ...

God Has A Sea Of Forgetfulness!
God Hates Sin!
God Sent His Son To Die For Our Sins ...!

... Everybody Knows That!
What's Your Point?

People Gotta Confess Their Sins ...!

... Yadda! Yadda! Yadda!

Fuamwils!

Isn't This Where We Started?!

Yup!

Ooookay!

If You Would Stop Interrupting
Maybe
Just Maybe
I Will Finish My Point!

Okay!
Mouth Zipped!
Ears Pricked!
Brain In Gear!
Let 'er Rip!

Unconfessed Sin Is Unforgiven!
Jesus Christ Died - His Heart Was Riven!
We Can Go Home
BUT
We MUST Accept The Gift
Or
There Will Be No
Eternal Living!

God Cannot Forget!
God Cannot Remember!

Brudda Man?!
Wha' You Sippin'!?!

... As I Was About To Say!!

God Cannot Forget
Unrepented Sin
AND
God Cannot Remember
Confessed Sin!
Problem Is
There Are Folk
Who Will Go For Broke
Blurring
Even Obliterating
Clearly Marked Lines
As If That Is Their Right
BUT
God Has Clearly Identified Who They Are
AND
That Ain't No Joke!

Those Who Go To Jesus
Will Never Be Hungry!
Those Who Believe In Jesus
Will Never Thirst!
They Will Have The Right
To Enter The Gate
AND
To Live In The City
BUT
All The Fuamwils
Get Left Outside
Condemned
AND
In The Lurch!

WHAT ... WHO IS FUAMWILS!

Oh! That's How I Remember That The:


  • Fearful
  • Unbelieving
  • Abominable
  • Murderers
  • Whoremongers
  • Idolatrous
  • Liars, and
  • Sorcerers


Will Not
Cannot
Enter
God's Glorious Kingdom!




Gobsmacked
Is What I Am!
Sam, You Are The Man!

Alright, Then!



PRAYER:

Lord,
I Beseech You, Please
In The Name Of Jesus Christ
The Righteous
Increase Our Faith
And
Help Us To Accept The Blessing
That Bought Us
And
Brought Us
Out Of What Is
To The Unbelieving
The Eternal Disgrace!

Heal Our Eyes!
Heal Our Ears!
Lord, Heal Our Hearts, Too!
Please Heal Our Hurts
And
Our Backslidings
And
Help Us Not To Sinning To Revert
So That In The Fullness Of Time
After Our Acceptance Of Your Best Blessing
We May Reach Our Heavenly Home
And
Live Eternally
In Prosperous Peace
With And In You!
Lord, Save Our Souls!
AMEN.

How Curious?!



It All Started
In
Eden's Garden
With
A Question?
And
A Lie!
The Satan-Indwelt Serpent
Issued Forth
The First Lie:
Hath God Said ...?
Thou Shalt Not Surely Die!
AND ...
From Thence Until Now
Man Listens To Lies!
Man Loves Lies!
Man Tells Lies!
AND
Man Kills!
AND
Man Dies!






Almighty God Said:
Be Fruitful and Multiply!
Man Says:
Mother Earth Is Too Small!
Kill The Babies! - Let Them Die!
Don't You Dare Overburden Mother Earth
By Becoming A Fruit Fly!

Almighty God Said:
Thou Shalt Not Kill!
Man Says:
Euthanasia And Suicide
Are Not Problems!
Red Alert! Red Alert!
Pain In Neither Mind Nor Body Should Hurt!

We Are Commissioned To:
Worship And Bow Down
Before The Lord Our Maker!
Man Says:
I Am God!
AND
Satan Laughs Loud And Long
For
He's Got Himself Another Taker!

It Is Required That:
All Hail The Power Of Jesus' Name!
BUT
Hail Satan Is The Rebellious Ones' Choicest Refrain!

Almighty God Says:
Train Up A Child
In The Way He Should Go!
Man Says:
That Is A Gross No! No!
Discipline Is Abuse 
Of The Darling Child's Delicate Ego!

Almighty God Says:
To Obey Is Better Than To Sacrifice!
Man Says:
Obedience Is For Fools!
Do What Thou Wilt
Is A Strategic Tool!

Almighty God Says:
Be Not Wise In Thine Own Eyes!
Man Says:
Chart Your Own Course!
Be Wise! Devise!

The Holy Word Says:
Unjust Weights And Balances
Are An Abomination Before God!
Don't Move The Old Land Marks!
Theft And Robbery Are Bad Business!
Man Responds:
Says Who?!
We're Just Adding More
To The Money Tally List!

The Living Word Says:
Dig A Hole For Your Brother
Dig One For Yourself!
Man Says:
If His Feet Don't Have Eyes
He's A Fool!
I Know The Terrain!
Life's Cool!

The Living Word Says:
Wine Is A Mocker!
Strong Drink Is Raging!
He That Is Deceived Thereby Is Not Wise!
Man Says:
I Only Drink The Good Stuff!
Can't Get Enough!
Good Stuff!
Good Stuff!

Almighty God Says:
I Am The Lord!
I Change Not!
Man Says:
Times Change And People Change!
Relevance Is Elegance!

Almighty God Said:
Man Leave Your Father And Mother
And Cleave To Your Wife!
Man Says:
Pick Any Partner!
Make A Way! Any Way!
Sex Is Sex!
Don't Get Me Vexed Today!

The Living Word Says Of God:
Man And Woman
Created He Them!
Man Says:
Poor Old God Didn't Understand
The Prime Mistake He Was Making!

The Living Word Says:
In The Beginning God ...!
Man Says:
What God?!
Aliens Made Us To Evolve
In The Primordial Soup!
Stupse! Stupse!

The Living Word Says:
Repent And Be Baptised
For The Remission Of Your Sins!
Man Says:
What, Really, Is Sin?!
Your Sin Is My Salmon!
Sin's In The Eye Of The Beholder!
I Want What I Want!
I
S how
I nitiative When I Have A
N eed!

God Said ...!
Man Says ... Otherwise!

AND ...

By Our Folly
We Deny Truth
AND
Him Who Is The Truth
AND
Whole-Sale Swallow Satan's Lies!
We Refuse Right-Living Easy
To Live Devilish Hard
AND
For This Reason
Many Will Receive
The Outcast's Red Card!

Yes ... The Lies 
Continue 
In This Modern Day!
Truth Is Relative
AND
Self-Aggrandizement
Is Said To Be
The Only Way To Play
BUT
Almighty God Is Alive And Almighty
AND
All Men Are Liars
AND
Almighty God's Word Eternally Saves!



Wha' Sweet'n Goat Mout'
Does Bu'n 'e 'n 'e Bam-bam!

*********

Presumptuously
Living In Sin Is Like
Maliciously
Calling The Emergency Service
For An Ambulance
To Go Shopping
And
Getting Hauled Before The Judge
For Fakery And Law Breaking -
You WILL Pay!

*********

Even In The Face
Of Rank Opposition
When You Know Right Do Right!

Trust God ... And Walk! + PRAYER: Father, We Want To Go Home!


Acquisition Of The Bounties Of Life
Did Not Make Me Happy
BUT
Having A Derth Of Life's Bounties
Did Not Make Me Sad
For
I Recognized
It Is A Matter Of Priorities
AND
I Am Thankful
That I Am With The Faith Of Jesus Christ Clad!

I Enjoy A Good Book!
Needles, Hooks And Thread I Will Not Overlook
AND
Making A Meal For Another Brings Joy!
I Have Reached The Stage In My Life
Where It Is Not Things I Want
BUT
Jesus Christ
AND
I Am Striving Through His Faith
For Eternal Life!

Money Rusts 
Rots
Gets Eatern
AND
Loses Value!
Clothing Decays
AND
Fast Friends Walk Away
AND
Love ... Even Love
Dear Love
Can Disappear
BUT
I Am Determined
At My Holy God
To Ever Look
AND
I Pray For Mercy
That I Do Not Fall For The Scams
Of The Eternal Life-Crook
AND
So I Seek For Christ's Righteousness
AND
The Comfort Of The Comforter 
Spoken Of
In Almighty God's Own Holy Book!

I Pray
AND
I Walk
AND
With God's Holy Spirit
I Talk (Commune)
Willing To Led
Taught
Corrected
AND
Comforted
Along The Lonely Narrow Way!

I Indulge In No Ritualized Pray
AND
I Do Not Care What Others Say
When Even Over My Lunch
I Say My Prayers
For
I Am Into Pleasing None Other Than
Jesus Christ My Lord
In Whose Name
I Approach The Father
When E'er Prayers I Committedly Say!

Every Man Has His Own Soul
- Not A Soul Is Second Hand -
AND
He Has For Himself
To Determine
Future Life Goals
AND
Not Be Concerned About Fleeting
Fluttery Things!
I Am Determined 
To Trust The Word Of The Holy God
AND
Not The Machinated Words Of The Willy Fraud
AND
By God's Grace
"I SHALL OVERCOME!"
AND
I Shall Win
In Jesus' Name
The Way To Eternal Life Walking Race!

So, Brethren ...

Think For Yourself
AND
Do
All That The Lord Places Before You
For
There Is No Place That He Sends
That He Will Not Provide The Means
To Achieve The Goal!
Remember!
He Promised In Blood
To Take Care Of You!
... And Me, Too!

Look Not At The Challenge Ahead!
Look At The Lord
Who For Your Victory Over Sin
Rose From The Dead
AND
Take The Brakes Off Your Feet
AND
With The Faith That Works
Because Of Love For Our Lord
Hit The Accelerator Of Your Heart
With Convincing Lead
AND
Strive For The Prize Given
By Our Lord Christ
Who Is Alive!
Alive!

Trust
 AND
Walk!
Trust! - Don't Balk!
There Is Work To Be Done
So Get At It
So That The End Of Time
May Quickly Come
AND
Eternal Life In Peace May Start
With Our Knowing That From It 
We Shall Never Depart!


Even So, Lord Jesus, Come!

*********

PRAYER:

Father,
We Want To Go Home!
We Want To Live
In Peace
With Your Beloved Son
Who Is Interceding For Us
In Heaven's Most Holy Place!
Haste The Day, Dear Father!
We Desire To Depart 
This Cruel, Wicked, Place
And
Dwell In The Light 
Of
Our God's Holy Face!
May Your Grace
Be Always Sufficient
In Jesus' Name!
AMEN.

GOD IS NOT DEAD: The World Laughs!





Our Lives Are Often Beset By Dangers
 AND
Duty Seems Hard To Perform!
Our Imagination Paints Pictures
Of Impending Gloom And Ruin
AND
Our Faith
Born Of Belief And Obedience
Hears The Voice Of God Clearly Saying:
Child Of Love, Move Briskly!
Move Along In Faith! Move On!

The World Laughs!
Friends Snicker!
Beloved Family Turn Away
AND
All That Is Left
Is The Love Of Jesus
AND SO
Walk Is What We Do
For
In Holy Him
We Wholly Trust
For His Living Word Is Eternally True!

Mortals Working For Salvation
Is A No No!
BUT 
Working Because Of Faith
Is A Christian Must - Faith Works! -
For If Satan Can Cause Us
To Doubt The Word Of God
Christ Jesus
Our Eternal Hopes
Will Be Rendered
As Choking, Killing, Dust!

Wherever We Go
Let's Take With Us
Our Own Lamps
Lights
From The Living God
Let Us Not Let Ourselves Be Dazzled
By The Brilliant Light-Show Work
Of The Fraud
In Whom Is No Viable Reward!

Let Us Work
In Faith
While It Is Yet Day
For The Night Cometh - Pray!
Pray!
Ever Pray!
Trust The LordHe Will Deliver!
Trust Him
Who Created Me And You
For
He Is Faithful
AND
He Has Prepared Places For Us
In His Father's House Of Many Mansions!
I Desire One To Call My Home!
What About You?

********

I Desire To Go To Heaven
Even If I Go Alone!
It Would Be Nice To Have Company
BUT
The Choice Is Yours To Make!
Yours Alone!
Come ... If You Will!
Stay ... If You Must!
BUT
I Desire To Possess 
That Promised Home In Heaven
Even If I Go Alone!

God Is Not Dead!
