Thinking Ahead For ... Excuses?!

I Was "Involved"
In A Bitter Altercation
Between
Always-Has-An-Excuse
AND
Searching-The-Mines-Of-Truth!

You Could Call It "Almost Comical"
The Way Ms. Excuse Was Carrying On
AND

Say

That Searching-The-Mines-Of-Truth
Indulged Itself
In Rabid Bad Pay!

You Will Be Forgiven
For Not Understanding

The Acrimony In The Exchange
If You Do Not Know That
Ms. Excuse Is First Cousin
Almost A Twin By Another Mother 

To That Wretch
I'm-A Lie!

Today ...

Ms. Excuse Crossed
Her Own Red Line
AND
Indulged Herself
In A Colorful White Lie!

Hold Up! Hold Up! Hold On!
You Just Lied Yourself!

How So?!

Think, My Brotha ... A Colorful White Lie?!

'Twas No Lie!

'Tis The Truth!

Ms. Excuse Did Not Incline Her Ear To Wisdom
Nor Her Heart To Understanding
But Resorted To Human Instinct
AND
Satan - Rejoicing -
Shouted Out:

"Goal!

I Got Me A New Soul!"

Man, You Need To Explain Yourself!

It Is Like This ...

Wait! What's Your Name?

You Know My Name!

Humor Me!

My Name Is Thinka Head!

I Don't Mean To Be Rude
BUT
Is Your Name Your Nature?

Do You Think Ahead?!

I Always Think Ahead
Because
n This Life

It Is Easy To Mislead
AND
Even Easier To Be Misled!

Okay.
How About You Try This On For Size ...

Search In The Mines Of Truth

And

Pick Up The Gems Of Wisdom

And

Pearls Of Truth Found There!

Stick To The Truth

And

You Will Never, Ever

Have To "Think Ahead"

To Avoid Misleading

Or

Being Misled

Because

By The Loving Master

The Word Of God

Truth Personified

You Are Daily Led

And

Daily Fed!

Sounds Reasonable
BUT
What Has This Got To Do
With The Argument And Ms. Excuse?!

Think, My Friend! THINK!!

Ms. Excuse Got That Name

Because

She Is Known For

Always Having An Excuse

AND

It Should Be Noted That

When You Look For Excuse
You Will Surely Find One
Which Becomes
Two Three And Four
AND
Before You Recognize It
You Have Become Apprenticed To
The Liar Hard Core!

If We Would Determine
To Walk Straight
No Bending
No Lifting
AND
No Contortions By Indulging In Truth-Test
We Will Have
No Excuse To Use Excuses
AND
Our Christ Jesus Will Have No Reason
Us To Rebuke
AND
We Will Have No Sin To Confess!

Making Excuses 

Places Us On The Slippery Slope Of
The Mountain Called Lies!
Which Is Tied To The Devil
The One Who Did God Defy
AND
Against Whom
To God
We Constantly
For Relief
Cry!

Excuses Are As Quicksand
Hidden Under Seemingly Solid Ground
Even Adorned With Growing Things
Even A Lily Or Two
AND THAT
Should
Should Not

Surprise You!

Plants
- Like People -
Grow Where They Are Nurtured
AND
Fed
AND
Quicksand
Is A Bed
For The Unweary
- Now Dead -
Who Stepped Out
- In Self-Confidence -
AND
Walked In Self-Will
Ignoring The Warnings
Cautions

AND
By-Passing Help

AND
Embracing That In Which
Man's Unregenerated Carnal Mind
Thrills!

The Mines Of Truth
Are
The Living Oracles Of God
Wherein Is Hid Treasure
To Be Found Of Those
Who CHOOSE
To Be Called
The Sons And Daughters Of
The Eternal God!

Please ...

Be Aware That All Mankind
Has Some Treasure To Find
The Difference Being
The Hidden Treasures Of Earth
Or
The Hid Treasures Of The Almighty God
Glorious
Eternal
Divine!

Earthen Treasures Called Temporal
Do Not
Cannot
Will Not Survive
The Close Of Time
So
I Put To You, Beloved

Brother
Sister

Friend
To Go
AND

Get
King Eternal's
Treasure-Eternal
Which Is The Only Treasure
That Can
That Will 

Survive
The Saved By Grace
Blessed With Mercy
Enduring Faith
Fashioned In God's Crucible
Man Down
Man Lifted Up
Man Glory Bound
This Ain't No Bedtime Story
Story!

God Gave!

Jesus Saves!

Satan Way-Lays!

Believing Man Prays!

Mind On Coming Glory Stays!

AND

In The Fulness Of Time

The Trumpet Of God Plays

AND

Justified

Sanctified Man

Glorified

Heads

Toward The Everlasting Days

In A Blaze!!

**--**--**--**--**

Forget The Tinged-In-Lie Excuse

AND

Stick To The Truth!

Blessings Await!!

Man Looks But ... God Sees!

Man Looks At The Outward Appearance!
God Looks Upon The Heart!
Man Looks For

Trendy Clothes

In-Tune-With-The-World Speech

AND

Bodacious Bodies Hot And Got

To Lay Out The Opposite Sex At Their Feet

BUT GOD 
Says:

Ignore The Naysayers

And

The Lies That You Have Been Told

For

The Blood Of Jesus

My Beloved Son

- Your Only Savior -

Bought Your Salvation

Which Cannot

For Man's Pittance

Be Bought

Bartered

Nor Sold!

Come In From The Cold

And

Be A Part Of My Fold!

Brethren ...

Man's Indictment 
Against Me
Against You
Via Their Blind-Eye Looking
Is Not Worth
Even A Single Dry Bean!
In Short
They May Have A Pot
But
There Is Nothing Cooking!

No One Can Stop The Telling Of
The Truth
The Old
Ever New 
Gospel - Good News -
Story!

Grace Is A Gift!
Faith Is A Gift!
Forgiveness!
Salvation!
Redemption!
Gift! Gift! Gift!
That All Come From
The Kingdom Of God
The Throne Of Present Grace
The Throne Of Coming Glory
That
No Outward Showing
Of Man
Can Efface!

Call Upon The Lord Christ
AND
The Holy Spirit Will Respond!

Repent Of Sin
In Jesus Name
AND
God The Father
Will Know Your Name!

Bow Your Heart!

Bow Your Head!
Bend Your Knee!
Putting Away Your Sin
- Man's Clothing -
Which Can Only Shame Thee
AND
Trust
Trust In The Promise
That Jesus Christ Alone
Is The One Who Can Truly Save
AND
For Eternity
New-Dress Thee!

Man Will Look
At My
At Your
Outward Appearance
BUT THANKFULLY
Thankfully
The Eternal God
- By Christ Jesus -
Sees
My Beating-For-Him Heart!
Devil, Depart!!

We Have An Anchor!

He Committed Murder Most Foul

And Then

He Committed Suicide

And

The Story Bore The Notation That

"He Was A Good Christian

That Just Snapped!"

When Unbelievers Commit Suicide

People Say That He She Had "A Problem!"

When A Christian-Called

Commits Suicide

We Know For Sure That

The Church Of The Living God

 Has A Really BIG PROBLEM!

In This Day
We Know Of A Surety
That The People Of God
Are Starved For Truth

AND

That Satan 

- Running Wild -
Using Unconverted Preachers
Priests Pastors And Teachers

Is Feeding Them

A Steady Diet Of What Pleases

A To-Self Inclined Sweet Tooth!

Self - Seeking Satisfaction - Looks In!

Saints Of Christ Look Up
AND
Unto Jesus! 

First, Let Us Understand That ...

Death Is Not An Option!
Death
To Mortal Man
Is
A God-Spoken Guarantee
So
I  - And You Should, Too -
Today
Take The Stand
The Position
That Satan's Whispering
Is Not
Out Of My Life
Going To Cheat Me!
Our Best Life Is On The Way
AND
It Is What Jesus Christ Said
That He Will With Us Joyfully Share!

I Shall Live
- In Jesus Christ's Faith -
Enduring All In The Certain Hope
Until My God
The Living Holy God
Calls Me To Rest
Or
He Comes!

By God's Unfailing Grace
AND
His Unfettered Mercy
I Will Not
Hasten My Life Away
Falling Into The Trap Of The Devil
Who Is Building An Army Against God
- By Man's Default To Ease -
By His Wily Fraud!

The King James Bible Says That ...

Murderers Do Not Inherit Heaven!

Self-Murderers Fall Into That Category, Too
For We
Regenerated, Reborn Christians
Having The Savior Of The World
For Our Master
AND
Our Father
Have For Self-harm
Not A Single Excuse!

The Lord Says Call
So
That Must Mean That He Is Indeed Going To Answer!
The Lord Says He Will Answer
So
That Must Mean That He Has
THE ANSWER
That We Need To Receive!

Jesus Christ Says That
He Has Not Given Us
A Spirit Of Fear
But A Strong Mind
AND
He Invites Us
To Come Boldly
To The Throne Of Grace
That We May Find Help
From Him
Who Is Almighty God
Holy Eternal
Prince Of Peace
Wonderful Counsellor
The God Who Knows All
King Glorious
Hallelujah Divine!

All Those Nations
States
Organizations
Associates
AND
Bed Fellows
Who Push Suicide
As The Presentable Option
Suitable
For The Without-Christ Soul
Are
Operating On The Brief Of That Damned Devil
Satan
AND
Are Supposedly
Enjoying The Rewards Of
His Putrifying Gold!

What Can A Man Give
To Redeem His Soul?

Nothing  ... That Is Acceptable To The Holy God
Who Gave The Only Gift Possible
To A Soul
Out Of The Grave To Lift
So  ... I Am Beseeching All
Come To Jesus
For
He Has Room In The Sheltered Fold
AND
Living Water
AND
The Bread Of Life
AND
The Light Of Life
So That All May Plainly See
The Right Way
- In This Life -
In Godly Fear
To Go!

Let No Man Or Spirit Deceive You:

The Option Of Suicide

As A Corrector Of All That Ails

Is A Trojan Horse

A "Gift" Horse

And

A Lie

That Awakens While You

-  Spiritually Bankrupt And Worn-Out -

Attempt To Find Rest

However Fitfully

And

Unleashes Death And Destruction Now

AND

Eternal Damnation Later!

Suicide Is NOT A Cure!

Suicide Is A Curse!

Please ...

Walk With Jesus Christ!
His Yoke Is Easy!
His Burden Light!
He Carries The Faithful
As They Take Up Their Cross Daily
AND
- Striving For The Mastery -
Walk ... From The Dark
Into ... God's Marvellous And Heavenly Light
AND
He Patiently Waits
Pleading
Knocking
Calling
Upon The Unbeliever
To Answer His Call
To Abundant Life!

Jesus Saves From Sin!
Jesus Saves The Soul From Self!
Dump The Cartoon Devil
AND
Get The Words Of Life
Into Your Heart
AND
Off
The Abandoned Book Shelf!

I Will Tell You Truth ...

I Am A Coward

So I Shall Stick With

The Eternal God
Praying Pleading Beseeching
Crying Begging For Help
As I Ought

For
I Have No Desire

To Partake The Lake Of Fire With Satan

That Wicked

AND

Damned
Benighting-The-Soul

Fraud!

Take Your Burden To The Lord!
Give All Your Cares To Jesus
For
He Willingly

Carries All Believers' Loads!

Jesus Christ

Has Got The Whole World In His Hands

So

That Means That He Is Carrying

Me

And

YOU!

Conscious Decisions!

Being Of A Sound Mind

I Have Taken The Conscious Position
To Make A Conscious Decision
To Honest-To-Goodness
Truly
- Without Reservation -
Believe In The Almighty God!

Since There Are So Many Other "Things"

Which Distract One

From What Is Truly Important

I Have Consciously
Made Up My Mind
To Trust
The Living Holy God
At His Own Word
Believing
That He IS Who He Says He Is
AND
Trusting His Word ... Again
That
He Will Do What He Says
He Will Do!

The Living God

By Jesus Christ

Said He Could Fix Me
AND
Make Me Fit
To Appear Face-To-Face

- Without Fear Of Instant Destruction -
Before The Consuming Fire
That Is The Eternal God
AND
I Have Consciously Decided
(That Phrase Again)To Take Him At His Unfailing Word
AND
Shall
- In All Things -
Act In My Received Portion Of Jesus Christ's Faith
So That I May Receive
All Of The Memorialized Blessings
Denoted In The Living Word!

Almighty God
In The Very Person
Of Jesus Christ
Who Ever Lives
To Make Intercession
For Me
(And You, Too)"Wrote" A Contract
In Man-Covered-Divinity
AND
Signed AND Sealed It
In Innocent Blood
AND
I
- By The Exercise Of My Faith -
Accede
To The Terms Therein Specified
AND
With Wilful Participation
Know That I Will Receive Power For Living Now
AND
- With Faithful Endurance -

Will Receive The Promised Heavenly Rewards!

I Have Been Burnt
By Contracts Made By Man
BUT
I Cannot
I Will Not
I Refuse To Say
That God - Through Jesus Christ -
Bit Me
By Indulging In
Pay For Play!

Saying Such Will Prove Me A Satan-Inspired Liar!

Up Front, The Living God Said:

Here Are Enunciated The Blessings!

There Is Enunciated The Curse!

You Are By Birth-Right

In Possession Of Free Will

So Choose

Today

How In Your Own Life

You Shall With Deliberation Move!

Today
I Look With Heart
AND
With Good Reason In Head
- Having Talked With My Jesus -
I Have Decided
Not To Live Like A Dead-Head!

I Have Decided
To Accept The Enunciated Blessings

And TherebyCast Behind Me
That Enunciated Curse
AND
Leave All My Tomorrows
In The Hands Of Him
- Who In Himself -
Took My Known Share Of Sin's Curse!

My Faith Is Not Blind
For He Who Bequeathed It
Is Light
AND
Life
AND
With Him As My Guardian
My Guide
AND
My Stay
I Will Have No More Truck With Satan
AND
Of A Surety
For Me
There Is Nothing Called:

"Hell To Pay!"

What Do YOU Say?!

Some God-Part Jesus?!

Some Men Serve The Baby Jesus!
Some Men Serve The Miracle-Working Teacher Of Galilee!
Some Men Serve The Christ Still On The Cross Of Calvary!

Some Men Serve The Dead-In-Joseph-Of-Arimathea's-Grave Jesus!
Some Men Serve The Jesus Who Got Up From Death's Tomb
AND
Some Men Serve The Jesus Who Rose Up
AND
Returned To His Father In Glory
AND
Forget
That Jesus Christ Returned
To His Father's House
For Us To Make Room!

Some Men Refuse To Accept
That There Is The High Priest Jesus
In Heaven's Tabernacle's
Most Holy Place
Pleading The Blood
Of The Lamb Slain
From The Foundation Of This World
Pleadings His Merits
To Take Away Believers' Sin-Shame

AND

Place As A Lost-To-Life Slave!

Jesus Christ IS One
God-Man
Fully God
Fully Man
From Glory To Glory The Same
Save For The Marks
Of The Ultimate Sacrifice
Which Will Be The Only Evidence
Of
Our Sin 

His Death
AND
Shame!

Man Cannot Choose
The Brand-Part Of Jesus Christ To Like
Love
AND
Worship!
Man Cannot Choose
Which Specialty Jesus
In His Heart To Hold!

The Complete Jesus May Dwell In Your Heart
BUT

You Can't Put Him
- Like Convenient Change -

In Your Pocket To Hold
For
In The Great Day
You Shall Surely Hear:

I Do Not Know You!
From Me Depart!

Jesus Christ
In The Life Of Man
IS
An All Or Nothing Proposition!
Jesus Christ To Man
Is Either
Savior Healer Sealer King
OR
Stumbling Block
AND
Condemning Judge
Who Will To Him
Condemnation's Damnation Bring!

IF
Your Idea Of Christ Jesus
Renders Him
The Missing Piece(s)
Jig-Saw-Puzzle-Jesus
Prepare Your Self
For A Rude Awakening
For
It Is The Whole Jesus
Pleading His Precious Blood's

Bought-For-Us-Salvation
Against
The Death Penalty Handed Down Against Man
By The Justice
Of God's Holy Law!
Jesus Christ IS Whole God
Not Partial-God Flawed!

Be Wholly Thankful

For

The Forgiving Redeeming God 

The Merciful Gracious Jesus 

The Teaching Comforting

Chiding Holy Spirit

The Almighty God Who Rewards

The Upholders Of The Faith

For Doing All
- For Love -

In God's Immutable Living Law!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: FALSE ACCUSATIONS : Overcoming

In The Face Of Accusation
It Is Normal
Even Expected
That The Human Heart Should Fear
BUT
A Christian
Accused Wrongly For Right-Doing
Should
- In Gladness -
Cheer!

Was Not Jesus The Christ
Falsely Accused?

Yes, He Was! So We Are In Good Company!

The Day Is Here
When Wrong Is Right
When Evil Is Good
When Darkness Is Light
When In The Streets
Truth
Is Cruelly Cast Down
AND
Evil Surmising's Patina
Is On Fleek!

Lord, Have Mercy On Your Children Meek!

Dear Child Of The Father
Listen Unto Me!
Be Not Dismayed
At What Your Blind Eyes Doth See!
Your Body May Feel Real Pain
Your Heart May Hurt
But, Be Assured
Because
In The Eyes Of The Heavenly Father
You Are Smelling Daisies
Not Covered
Buried
In Sin's Light-Quenching Dirt!

So ...

Let Us Trust In Our Father's Provision!
Let Us Bask Beautifully In The Father's Care!
Let Us Rest Assured Of The Great Rejoicing
When 
With New Name In Hand
We Shall Celebrate In The Father's House!
In Anticipation, Let's All Say:

Hip! Hip! Hooray!

The Devil Is The Liar!
Evil Men Do His Dirty Work
BUT
Believing Ones Who
In God's Grace - By Mercy -
Do Firm Stand
Shall
In The Glad Day
With The Eternal Jesus Present
Glorify God
AND
To Heights Unknown Rise
Passing Over What We Now Call Skies!

Earth's Treats Are Sin-Battered Bitter
BUT
The Eternal God's Heavenly Treats
Are
Truly Beautifully
Salvation Sweet!

With God's Grace
Shining On Your Face
There Is Nothing
That The Devil Can Do
From God's Love
You To Displace!

Child Of God
Take Your Torments
Accept Your Lumps
AND

Bear Your Cross

In The Name Of Jesus
AND
With His Faith
You -  As An Overcomer -
Shall Bow Your Head
To Accept
Salvation's Gold Crown!

Charity Suffereth Long
AND

Is Kind!

Be Calm And Considerate

For

Your God Is Divine!
Misrepresentations Of The Faithful
Are His To Unravel
AND

False Accusers

- Always Guilty -
Will Feel
The Reverberation Of His
"You Are Guilty!"
Banging Gavel!

Rabid Sinners Gain All Now

To Lose All Later!

Obedient Saints Lose All Now

To Gain All Later!

Jesus Christ Saves

Fed-Up-With-Sin Sinners

Not

Self-Satisfied

Pretending-To-Be-Saints Saints!
