Since What Who Where If Why Not?!





Since Jesus Christ Is Mankind's Savior
Then What Is He To You?
Is He A Friend?
A Savior?
A Mere Acquaintance?
A Talking Point
Among The Religious Men
OR
Someone By Whom All Living Take Offense?

Since Jesus Died
To Save Men
Then Who Is He To You?
Lord?
God?
King?
Real Fraud
OR
Him In Whom Reposes
Eternal Rewards?

Since Jesus Christ's Death
Bought For Man
Eternal Life
AND
His Resurrection
AND
Ascension
Places Him On Heaven's Throne
Where Does That Place You?
In The Realm Of
Doubt?
AND
Disbelief?
OR
Faith?
AND
Trust
Willing To Receive
OR
Languishing In The Land Of
I Don't Know!
AND
I Don't Care!
So, Please Shut Up
AND
Pass The Beer!?

Since Jesus Christ Is Alive
AND
Returning To Earth
To Pick Up His Faithful, Believing People
- Collectively Called His Bride -
Where Will That Place You?
Waiting With Hope For The Lord?
Running To And Fro With Sin
AND
The Fraud?
OR
Digging A Hiding Place
Scoping Out Rocks
OR
Saving Up For A Ticket To Mars
On A Deep SpaceX Saving Mankind Escape Plane
Which Is Bare Bullocks?

Jesus Christ IS The King
The Judge!
The Executioner!
Man's Paymaster!
He Is Redeemer!
Shepherd!
Savior!
Provider!
Sustainer!
Intercessor!
AND
Man's Only True Friend!

Jesus Christ 
Soothes Brows!
Holds Hands!
Heals Hearts!
Nurtures!
Calms!
AND
He Is The Son Of The Father!
AND
The Son Of Man
Having Couched His Divinity
With Humanity
To Execute Salvation's Plan
AND
Inflict The Death Blow
Upon Satan
The Originator Of Sin
The Constant Accuser Of All Humans!

If You Know Truth
Then Why Not Believe
Without Reservation
In The One
Who Caused You To Be Conceived?
Why Not Cast Out The Disbelieving Heart
AND
Take Up The New Heart God Offers To Impart
AND
Trust Him Who Is The Way
The Truth
AND
The Life
The Light
In Your Life
To Hold Sway?

Doubts Are By Him Dispelled!
Truth Is Upheld!
Believe!
Satan Is Already Felled!
Trust And Obey!
Have Faith And Pray!
Jesus Is Coming!
- Ignore The Naysayers -
It Can Happen Any Day
AND
When He Comes
It Will Be A Glorious Day!

Are You Walking
In A
Committed Love Relationship
With The Lord?

About What Do You Complain? + PRAYER : Thank You, Lord, For Your Peace!





Life Is Strange!
Wild Dogs Have Mange!
Sane People Act Insane
AND
The Devils Encourage Men
The Name Of Almighty God To Profane!

But, Then
There Is ...

The Man With No Sight In His Eyes
Who Would Wish He Could Complain
About Having To Wear Thick Glasses!

The Man With No Hands
Who Would Wish He Could Complain
About The Itch He Always Must Scratch!

The Man With No Feet
Who Would Wish He Could Complain
About Ill-fitting Shoes That Did His Feet Hurt!
AND
The Man Who Is Deaf
Who Would Wish He Could Complain
Of Loud Noises That Assault His Poor Ears!

And, Soon ...

There  Will Be The Unrepentant Man
From A Cold, Dark, Grave Risen
Who Will One Day Wish
In Hind Sight
That He Had Gone To Jesus Christ
His Sin To Confess
So That Joy
Over Conquering Death
He
In Triumph
Could Express!

Contentment
Is A Good Thing!
Living With Regret Is Not
For
Walking Wild
Ever The Disobedient Child
Is Sure To Destroy All
Who Have Not Jesus Christ
The Savior
In Whom They Can Surely Confide
AND
Luxuriantly
Everlastingly
Abide!

Trust God
AND
Obey!
Walk Straight
AND
Don't Suffer Satan's Fate!
Repent Now
Before It is Too Late
For
Jesus Is Coming
AND
Is Even Now
Approaching The Gate!


Let Us Be Glad
For Grace
As We Live In 
Christ's Love And Care
And
Thankful For Truth
As We Mindfully
Take Mercy For Our Mead
And
Salvation For Our Steady Steed!

*********

PRAYER:

Heavenly Father,
Bless Us
And
Help Us To Be Faithful
Willing In Your Ways
To Walk Each And Every Day
For
We Love
Bless
Honor
Worship
And
Gladly Obey Our Coming Savior
Who For Us
Conquered
Death, Hell And The Grave!

Help Us To Be Kind To The Cruel!
Help Us To Bring Cheer To The Sad!
Help To Sing Praise To Your Name
Even In Sorrow
And
In The Faith Of Jesus Christ
To Ever Be Glad!

Thank You, Lord
For The Comfort Of The Holy Spirit
And
The Protection Of The Holy Angels, Too!
Thank You For The Peace
That Passes Human Understanding
And
The Sheltering Wings
We Stand Beneath
Protected
Trusting In Your Words Of Truth!

Oh, Day Of Joy
Which Brings Eternal Gladness
How We Long To See The Sight!
Fit Us, Lord
For The Day Of Battle
And
Grant Us Victory
So That Our Longing Eyes
Shall
Triumphantly Behold
The Glory Of Our Coming King
And
Savior
With Our Very Own
Then Incorruptible
Eyesight!

Oh, The Glory!
Blissful Glory!
How Our Mortal Eyes Long To See Thee!
Lord,
In Mercy
- Grace O'er Spreading -
Help Us To Walk
Thankfully
Faithfully
Happily
Hopefully
- With Endurance -
Unto Thee!
AMEN.

PRAYER : Lord, Please Hold My Hand!





Father,
I Trust You! - Please Help Me To Hold As Sacred 
That Trust!
Father,
I Love You! - Please Help Me
 To Trust Your Love
That In All The Earth Does Show!
Please Help Me To Stand Up In
Stand Up On
And
Walk In Your Love
And
Walk In Jesus Christ's Faith
Because Of Your Love
Which Is The Only Thing Permanent 
In A Creature Of The Dust's Life!
Lord, Lift Me Up!

Father,
I Have All The Human Doubts
All The Ungodly Fears
But, Then
I Remember That You
The God Of All Graces
Has Plainly Stated
In Your Immutable
Your Never-changing Word
That You Have Not Given To Me
A Spirit Of Fear
But Of A Sound Mind!
Lord, I Believe That With My Whole Heart!
Help Me To Live As Though In You 
I Truly Do Believe!

Father,
My Jesus Said
That All That You Give To Him
Will Go To Him
And That He Will Not Cast Us Out!
Father,
You Gave Me To Jesus
And, Believing
I Am Walking - Though Weak -
I Am Walking
Loving
Trusting
Believing
Hoping
Obeying
Often Trembling
But Walking 
Toward My Shepherd
The King Of My Life!
Make Me Malleable
As You Remake This Once Lost Sheep!

Lift Me Up, Lord
And
Help Me To Stand
For I Desire To Sit At Your Glorious Table
In The Heavenly Land!

Help Me, Dear Lord
To Be Steadfast In Jesus' Faith!
Help Me To Hold On
To My Daily Share Of Grace And Faith!
Help My Faith To Increase
And
Earthly Doubts To Decrease!
Help Me, Lord
From My Wanderings
And
My Worryings
To Desist And Cease!

I Love You, Lord!
You Loved Me Before I Knew You
Despite My Foreparents'
Disobedience
That Brought Unto Us All The Fall!
That Curse!
The Sin Nature - That Willingness To Sin
The Devilish Character
Ready Always
In Dark Paths
To Go Walking
And
For This, I Give You My Worship And Praise!

Father,
Forgive My Sin Against You!
Pity Me In My Distress!
Lord,
I Am Calling On
Running To
Leaning Upon
And
Bowing My Heart Before You - Please Make It Anew!

I Need You, Lord! - Bless Me!
I Praise You,  Lord! - Help Me To Walk In Your Ways
So That At The Day Of Dawning
I Shall From Thence Forth
Abide With You
Forever And Always!
Please Let Your Love Grow
And
Forever Abide In Me!
Please Hold My Hand
My Head
And
My Heart
In Jesus Christ's Holy Name I Plead!
AMEN.

Wisdom Is Folly To The Fool!






Faith Believes!
Love Trusts!
Hope Waits!
Jesus Saves!
AND
Satan Hates!

God Blesses!
Satan Curses!
Help Heals!
AND
Greed A Grudge Nurses!

Head Holds A Hat!
Belly Is A Bowl
AND
Jesus Christ IS The Savior
Who Will Save
The Repentant Sinner's Soul!

The God Who Sells
Fire-Tried Gold
Is
The God Who Gives Man Power
To Wear The White Linen
Of Christ's Righteousness
That Proves
That The Blue In His Life
Was Because
He Kept God's Laws Ever Before Him
Which Permits Him
To Be Robed
In Purple
As A Priest And King
Because
Jesus Washed Away
The Scarlet Of His Sin
AND
Made Him An Overcomer
Clean ... To Stand 
Before
Almighty God!

Tomorrow Is Not Promised!
Now Is The Acceptable Time
To Acquire The Promised
Faith
Which Is A Flower That Grows
AND
Blooms
If It Stays Attached
To The True Vine!

Wisdom Is To The Wise
What Folly Is To The Fool
AND
A Choice Must Be Made
If We Shall Attend To Wisdom's Ways
Or
Die In Fool's School
Having Been Used
By Satan
As A Disposable Tool!

Life Is Long And ... Short!
Living Is Hard ... Because
AND
Life Is Easy ... If!

Truth Is Stable!
Lie Is Fable
AND
Come Judgment Day
The Unchangeable Facts
Of
Each Lived Life
Will
Indisputably
Be
In The Incorruptible Remembrance Book
On Almighty God's
Unshakable Table!

Why Worry When
On The Living God
You Can Depend?
Why Wonder When
The Fact Is Known
That
Jesus Christ
Is The Sinner's Only Friend?
Trust ... In The Lord!
Faith ... Is Its Own Reward!
Honor ... Is No Slave
AND
Death ... Ain't No Grave
For
It Was Conquered
By God's Eternal Love!

Stand Up For Jesus!
Walk By Faith With The Lord
AND
Arrive At The Holy City
AND
Live Forever
By Your Own Blessed Sight
In The Very Presence
Of
The Eternal God!

About What Do You Care?
To Whom Do You Pray?
Will You Accept Christ's Offer Of Salvation
Today
AND
Keep Satan
Forever
At Bay?!

*********

TODAY

IS

YOUR DAY

OF

DECISION!!

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2017: Christ In You + PRAYER : Lead On, Oh King Eternal!







2017 Is The Year New!
2016 Is The Year Old!
Yesteryear's Bad Habits Are 
Dross
AND
This Year's Good Habits Are 
Pure Gold!

The God Of Heaven 
Provides For His People!
The gods Of The Earth Cannot!
The Faith Of Jesus Christ 
Gives Us Victory Over Sin!
Faith In The Pope
Priests, Pastors
Politicians 
AND
Princes
Presidents 
AND 
Purveyors Of The Botch
Assuredly 
Will Not!
Cannot!

Trust In The Lord Is Not Dead
BUT
Neglecting To Pray
Is A Sure Way To Kill It!
Leaning On The Everlasting Arms
Is Key To Human Survival
AND
Christ In You
The Hope Of Glory
Should Be Paramount
Coloring Our World View
AND
Being
Our Most Prized Lot!

God Does Not Change
BUT
Man Must
To Gain Eternity
Is The Gospel Truth!
Jesus Saves!
He Purchased New Life Passports For Mankind
So
Trust The Word, I Beseech You
Be Ye Rich, Poor
Free, Slave
Youth Or Aged!
Proof Is On The Gospel Page!

We Sin
AND
Christ Cries
For
We Crucify Him Afresh!
So Let's Go To The Cross
Uttering Heartfelt Prayers Of Repentance
Filled With True Remorse
AND
Plead
With Our Heavenly Father
To Direct Our Footsteps
Helping Us To Chart
A "To Victory!" Course!

2017 Is The Year New!
2016 Is The Year Old!
AND
We Are One Year
One Month
One Week
One Day
One Hour
One Minute
One Second
One Moment
From
Old Things Forever Passing Away
AND
A New Heaven
AND
A New Earth
Holding Eternal Sway
AND
For This, Dear Ones
Let Us Pray ...



Lead On, Oh King, Eternal
You Who For Us
The Victory Won
You Who Shed Blood
Sin
Hell
Death And The Grave To Conquer
You Who Is God's Only Begotten Son!

You Gave Up Glory
For A Cold Dark Grave!
You Gave Up Glorious Robes
For Wretched Rags Of The Slave!
You Gave Up Songs Of Praise
For Sounds Of The Crazed
Just To Save All Who
Will Willingly Utter
Father,
Please Save Us!
Help Us To Walk In Your Blessed Ways!

Father, We Believe!
Please Cleanse Us Of Unbelief!
Father,
Your Great Gift We Gladly Receive!
Protect Us From The Salvation Thief!
Help Us To Live In Godly Fear
And
Turning To The  Man Of Sin
A Dutiful-To-Christ Stone-Deaf Ear!

Help Us To Walk In Your Light
So That At The Appointed Hour
Our Measure Of Faith
Shall Behold
The Most Glorious Sight!

Help Us To Live True
For, Father
We Dearly Desire
In Our Own Flesh
With Undimmed Eyesight
To Behold You!

Help Us, Lord
To Shed Our Self-Made
Self-righteous
Dirty Garments
So That We Will Gain
The White Linen Robes 
Of
Christ's Righteousness!

Please Provide To Use Eye-Salve
To Heal Our Blinded-By-Sin Eyes
And
By Your Grace, Lord
And
Never-Failing Mercy
Help Us To Purchase Of You
That Inestimable Treasure
Eternal Gold
Tried
In The Fire Of Affliction
Blessed To Us Of Jesus' Faith
Because, Lord
We Truly Love You!

Through Grace
Faith
Love
Hope
Trust
Obedience
And
Wisdom's Understanding
With Knowledge Of The Holy,  Lord
Your Children With This World May Cope!
Help Us To Lift Up The Fallen
Feed The Hungry
Provide Holy Insight Into Truth
For Those Who Are Not
The Willful Blind!
Help Us To Clothe The Naked Both Physically
And
In Sheets Made Of The Truth Of The Gospel
As We Ourselves Walk
With Feet Shod In The Gospel
That Speaks Everlasting Peace
And
Eternal Life!

Father,
Help Us To Guard Jealousy
Our Hold On Salvation!
Grant Us A Death-Grip
On Our Life In Jesus Christ
And
Let Our Eyes Blaze With Hope
With Faith's Sight
In Anticipation
Of
Christ's Soon Coming Glory!

Lord, Help To Stand
So That
Our Faith Today
Shall Glory In The Morrow
When We Shall See Jesus
In Whose Holy Matchless Name
We Make Our Petitions In This New Year
On This New Day!
Remember Us, Lord
Is Our Daily Prayer
And
We Love You True
Is What We In Faith Say!
Help To Do As You Say
And
Not What Eye Servants Do
For We Are You Servants
And
Desire Our Works To Bless You!
AMEN!
