What Does A Faithful Christian Do When A Beloved Pastor Has Lost His Way Through Apparent Indifference To The Truth? When Visible Indifference To The Truth Is Besmirching What Was Once A Committed-To-Christ Life? When Getting On With The Business Of Life Is Seemingly Preferable To Engaging In What Can Only Be Considered Standing Up For Christ's Life? Are We As Saints Of The Lord Permitted To Say Which Part Of Christ's Words - Christ's Character - Should - For Worldlings' Peace - Be Set Aside? Are We As Striving Christians Equipped To Tell The Living Eternal God That His Commandments Statutes Laws And Covenants Are To Be Set Aside IF In The Present State Of Things They Will Roil The Prevailing Tide? Are We Men? Or Are We God? Are We Seeking Favor Or Are We The Ones Rewarding The Lord? Can We Tell God Where He Hid The Foundations Of The Earth? Can We Go To God's Storehouses AND Send Snow To The Deserts Of The Earth? Can We Heal Our Own Backslidings? Can We In Our Own Grace Abide? Can We Duel With The Devil AND Can We Raise Up A Soul Who Has Died? Are We God? Are We Men? Do We Need The Savior? Do We Need Angels Our Person's To Defend? Who Are You? I Am A Mere Mortal! I Am A Child Of The Great King! I Know My Need My Limitations I Know That I Cannot As A Known-Natured Sinner Stop My Self The Eternal God Not To Offer Offence BUT I Have Taken The Lord As My Shepherd AND I Have Chosen In The Presence Of God To Abide! I Have Decided To Follow Christ Jesus AND I From His Face Have Chosen Not To "Hide!" I Can Say That I Cannot Save Myself AND I Am Not Going To Try For I Know That I Need The Redeemer AND It Is He Alone Who To Heaven Can Get Me Inside! So ...? The Bible Says That In The Last Days Men Will Not Abide Sound Doctrine AND Will - From The Truth - Fall Away So It Is Imperative That As True Believers We Harden Our Resolve To Stay Upon The Glorious King's To Eternal Life Highway If We Desire To Fly Through The Skies! Let Us Pray For Our Straying Brethren! Let Us Lift Them Up To The Throne Of Grace! Let Us Petition For Them To Humble Themselves Before God Almighty AND That They Permit Him To Change Them To Walk Faithfully Upon The Straight And Narrow Way Before They - Without Hope - Die! As For Ourselves Let Us Not Get Complacent Lest We Think We Stand AND Instead We Spectacularly Fall! Lest We Guide Others Into The Kingdom AND We Do Not Make It There At All! Look To Your Selves, My Brethren! Let No "Good Man" Be Your Strong Arm! Let The God Of The New Jerusalem Temple The God Of The City Of Zion Grand Be To You Your All And All! Men Are Weak! Men Are Liars! Men Are Notable For Lighting Old Satan's Fires! Do Not Be Deceived! God Is Not Mocked AND If Once Faithful Men Against God Commit Iniquity Their Past Good Works Won't Get Them Into The Golden City! They'll Be Outside With The Whoremongers The Dogs Sorcerers And Those Who Hate Christ The Lord! Just Remember My Brother, My Sister It Is The Eternal God Who "Wrote" Down The Words: "Work Out Your OWN SOUL'S Salvation!" Fear And Tremble! That Is God's To You Emphatic Word!
The Eternal Blessing God Made Man In His Own Image! Man Was To Walk Alone All One (At One) With His Creator-God BUT Sin Intervened Compliments Of The One Who Hates AND Who On Greed AND Lust Feeds AND That Is Why All Mankind A Loving, Redeeming, Savior Desperately Needs! From The Hand Of The Maker Man Had The P.M.S. Nature That Is The Physical The Mental The Spiritual Nature Of The Maker Which Would Have Permitted Him To Continually Grow AND To Advance AND To Become Like Unto His Maker The Longer That He Should Live! Man Was Not Made To Die! Enter ... THE DRAGON!!
Satan - By Sin - - With Sin - Is Recreating Man Is His Very Own Image!
God Forbid! Perish The Thought!
Sadly, Brethren This Sad Story Is Tryingly True AND It Is To Our Benefit To - In And Of Christ - Learn The Facts True Through And Through! If You Trust Jesus Christ True You Can Disappoint The Adversary By Giving Him The Get-Thee-Behind-Me-Satan Thus-Saith-The-Lord Shoe! Think Of The Time When Peter Confessed Christ's Divinity AND THEN In The Next Breath Wanted To Protect His Lord From Engaging His Mission's Strife!
Jesus Spoke Not To Peter But To The Adversary In Between Them: Get Out Of My Way Satan So That I May Speak To Mine Own Face To Face No Blockers In Between Willing Them To Walk Their Own Way To Walk Alone!
Almighty God - In Christ - Was Self-Denying! Satan Is Not - Cannot! All God's Children Must - Like As Did Christ - Practice Self-Abnegation If From Sin And Satan They Will To The Day Of Redemption - Saved - Arrive! We Must Depend Upon The Lord Jesus Christ! Lord, Haste The Day!
Christ IS Our Anchor! If We Lift Our Cross As He Asks Us We Will His Crown Of Life Wear! When We Follow The Master's Living Example AND Ever To The Great Father Repair We Can Rely Upon His Input Of Strength So That We May Reject The Devil AND Avoid His Delicately Placed Snares!
Jesus Christ Gave Us An Example Of Perfect Obedience AND He Gives Unto Us The Power That We May The Holy God Obey! Friends, Brethren,
There's No Need For Circus Acrobatics Nor Devilish Contortions If We Will - By And In Jesus Christ's Faith - Just Humbly Say ...
Yes, Lord!
I Believe!
I Will Follow Thee!
Lord, Your Blessings I Gladly Receive!
Lead Me, Lord - I Will Follow!
Teach Me, Lord - I Will Pray!
Bless Me, Lord - You Are My Answer!
Take Me, Lord - I Am Yours To Command Today!
Preach It, Brother! Preach It!
If You Are A Wanderer Looking For A Safe A Secure Home Remember I Beseech You, Remember That "Jesus Christ Is The Answer!" He Is The Corner Stone!
Don't Be A Foolish Builder AND Reject Jesus The Christ Because Without Him There Is No Foundation Laid That Is Not Laid Upon Him That Will - In The Day Of Discovery - Survive! A Man Saves Construction Costs When He Committedly Builds On The Lord Christ! A Sure Foundation Withstands Any And All Upheavals! Indeed! Brethren, I Beseech You To Trust God For Your Building Construction Materials AND I Guarantee You - On The Strength Of The Eternal Word - - On The Character Of The Everlasting Father - - On The Word Of The Living God Which Cannot Lie - That No Bad Bricks In Your Life Can Ever Be Laid! Only Needful And Necessary Bills Will Be Supplied! All Things Work For Good ...! Indeed! Indeed! Let Us Recite Our Memory Verse:
Satan Exerts Influence Over People He Darkens The Mind AND Incites Men Women And Children To Do Violence
AND To Commit Base Crimes!
Jesus Christ Exerts Influence Over The People! He Enlightens ANDEnlivens The Mind! He Impresses All Who Will To Do Good Works AND
To Brethren To Be A Blessing
AND
To Be Ever Kind!
Here, Brethren Are Two Princes First, The Prince Of Darkness The Destroyer Of Body And Soul! Second, The Prince Of Peace Who Gives Life AND Keeps Mankind Alive AND Now I Sincerely Ask You Which Prince Would You Do You Should You Want Even Need To Be By Your Side?!
The Prince Of Darkness Has A Need To Build An Army Of Opposition Against The Holy God AND
His Method Of Recruitment Is To Offer Paid Access To Excitment Influence Finance Recognition Associative Emotional Dangerous Destructive Selfish Self-Satisfying Mind-Bending Cross-Contaminating Infectious AND Ever Only Temporal So-Called Enormous Yet Trifling Pretty And False Shining AND Dying - Like Himself - Awards And Rewards!
The Prince Of Peace - By Great Contrast - Offers Unto Mankind Life In Christ Now AND Eternal Life With Christ Later For Being Of Service To Humanity In The Service Of The Living Holy Ever-Present He Knows It All Can Do It All Provides It All God!
In Their Service To Their King
AND
Master Self-Denial Is In Part How They Live AND
Look Not Given To Displays Of Gratuitous Acquisition AND
For Them Denying Self Is In Answer To The Lusts Of Manly Living - They Don't Live In The Land Of I Want What My Eyes Continually See!
Kindness Helpfulness Caring Sharing Are Motivations For Each And Every Day AND Lest We Forget That Darkness Hates Peace They Engender The Acrimony Of Darkman's Soldiers Elite
Who
Of The Living God
Apparently ... Have No Fear!!
Hatred From The World! Peace In The Lord! Comfort Of The Holy Spirit! Protection From The Fraud! Mercy! Salvation! Forgiveness Of Sin! Hope For Surpassing Glory! Redemption At The Prince Of Peace's Earthly Returning!
Are Gifts To The Saints Of The Holy God!
Gifts From The Prince Of Peace!
So, What ...!?
The Service
For The Prince Of Peace Requires Personal Sacrifice A Thing Foreign To The Prince Of Darkness Who Demands Sacrifice From Others Often Even Sacrifice Of Life!
Those In The Service Of The Prince Of Peace Know That He Is The Great Exemplar For He Gave His Own Life For All Mankind On The Cross After Suffering The Prince Of Darkness' Most Dreadful Temptations! I Can Almost Hear The Wicker One's Laughter!
Between Temptation AND Crucifixion Was Where The Prince Of Peace Healed Taught AND Fed The Multitudes Oppressed Tormented Possessed
Oppressed By The Miasma Of The Prince Of Darkness!
He Raised The Dead! He Restored Sight To The Blind! He Took The People Out Of The Darkness AND Stood Them Up In The Light Of Life AND For Good Measure Gave Them Of Eternity A Real View AND Encouraged Them To Reach For The Extended Sheltering Comforting Healing Hand To Hold It To Hold On To It - That Offer Is Extended To Me And To You!
But ...
There Is A Small Price To Be Paid By One By All Who Will To The Prince Of Peace Cling:
Forsake Sin! Forsake The Devil! Forsake The World! Confess Sin! Repent Of The Past AND Reach Out To Jesus AND For Dear Life To His Outstretched Hand Unabashedly Cling!
By His Great Grace ... You Can!
One Cannot Be Double-Minded Holding Darkness And Light For Therein Is Confusion AND Assuredly Soul Blight!
So ...
It Comes Down To The Decision! Upon Which Side Will You Call
Fall?
Truth
Error
Darkness
Light
Temporal Prosperity
Eternal Prosperity
Goodness With Denial
Fleeting Things And A Damnation Trial
Everlasting Life
Eternal Separation From God
Feelings Over Facts
Destructible Things Now
Indestructible Things Later?
You Make The Order! Sacrifice Now? Or Sacrifice Later? Decisions Must Be Made! No Dice Rolling! No Heads! No Tails! Conscious Decision-Making Makes Really High The Stakes!
I Chose!
I Choose ...
Jesus For Joy - The Prince Who Is Peace!
I Emphatically Deny The Liar The Prince Of Darkness The Salvation Thief!
Pick N. Choose Was A Seeing Blind Man Who Published Abroad That He Knew The Oracles Of God - Back To Front!
He Knew How The Scriptures Were Tied!
His Adversary - For Obvious Reasons
AND Considered By Him To Be Treasonous - Was
Is Accept D. Word Who Trusts In The Holy Spirit To Teach Him When He In His Finite Understanding Shows Lack!
Their Relationship Is Not Acrimonious! They Just See Truth In Mightily Different Ways AND Those Ways Are The Bone Of Contention Throughout The Passage Of Their Interactive Days!
Pick N. Choose Is A Man Of The Cloth Educated And Lettered Who Was Trained To Read Between Lines AND To Pick AND To Choose Which Words Of God Are To Be Considered True Relevant Timely Factual Impossible To Believe Anecdotal Fairy Tales And On, And On!
He Is Flamboyantly Very Passionate About The Work That He Does Even Though His Conscience Mightily Pricks Him! He Ignores The Pricks Of Good Conscience Because He Wants To Be The Head Of The Critiquing God Club!
There's Money To Be Made In Them Thar Hills!
ANDAt This
His Fat Heart Thrills!
Isn't Fat A Bible Metaphor For Sin?!
It Is Indeed!
Aren't We Called To Give The Fat The Sin Unto God On The Altar Of Sacrifice?!
Indeed, We Are!
There's Trouble Up Ahead ...
Things Were Going Well
Very Well For Pastor Pick Until
THAT DAY
When He
- Waxing Bold - Accidentally On Purpose Called Jesus Christ Unnecessary Irrelevant A Failure Dangerous!
There Was A Gasp!
Then ... A Very Loud Silence! Then ... There Was An Uproar!!
Then ... One Man Valiantly Stood Up
Stood Out AND In A Firm And Steady Thread Walked To The Altar AND In A Firm Tone - Causing Dread - Said:
It Is Considered
Treason Against The Living God
When In A Time Of Spiritual Crisis
Believing Men Hold Their Peace
Whilst A World Dying
Amidst Abundant Good Food
Is Left Starved
Unsuccored
Unfed!
He Continued ...
I Will Not Bring A Railing Accusation Against You
Pastor Pick N. Choose
BUT
The Lord Rebuke You!
I Speak The Truth Out Of Love
AND
I Sincerely Pray For You
As This I Say:
You Speak Evil Of The Dignified God And Thereby You Foam Out Your Own Shame!
You Work Is Not A Blessing! Your Tree Has Root Rot And Your Fruit Is Both Wind Blown
And Rotten
And Truth To You Seems To Be Forgotten!
You Despise
The Dominion Of The Glorious God Over You AND Withhold That Blessed Knowledge From The Beloved AND In So Doing You Encourage Others To Live Lives Ungodly
ANDIn Essence Subscribe Their Names To Unquenchable Flames! You Will For Lost Souls Hold Much Blame!
You Act Unafraid
AND Unashamed In The Blighted Way Of The Accuser Of The Brethren AND You Do Unto The Kingdom Of God A Terrible Despite!
Why Did You Give Up God's Fight!
You Apparently Care Not For Your Own Soul AND You Wilfully Deny Others Their Own Opportunity For Their Own Soul's Salvation To Fight!
I Pray The Lord God For The Salvation Of Your Soul That You Will Come To Know The Almighty God AND The Lord Jesus Christ Whom He To Us Sent So That You Will Turn From Gross Darkness Unto The True Light That The Lord, Then By Your Renewed Life's Living May Find Someone In Whom To Delight!
Brothers And Sisters, I Appeal You Today As A Sinner Saved As One In Christ No Longer Living As A Sin-Slave Please
For The Love Of God
Count The Cost! Count The Cost And, Then If Jesus Christ Paid - In Full - Your Bill Accept His Word His Character His Provision Right Here
Right Now
So That You Won't For Your Own Sin Have To Eternally Pay!
God Is The Lord!!
'Tis A Shame When Men Who Can't Won't Eat Withhold God's Good Grass
From Hungering Sheep!
It Is A Terrible Crime
Against God's Glorious Kingdom When Men
Spiritually Dried Out Block Abundantly Available
Living Water From The Lord's Thirsty, Thirsty, Sheep!
It Is A Bitter Shame When The Ungodly Man
- Afraid To Sleep - Stops Weary Men From Resting In The Lord In Peace And So - With Trembling Heart Sad - I Say Unto One AND
Unto All Look To Your Own Soul's Salvation! Follow Not Wicked Men
And More Particularly This Bold Man And His Type Who Work For The Fraud With Delight Having Left Off Of Faith The Good Fight!
The Living Word Of The Glorious Lord Is A Strong Tower - The Righteous Man - Obviously Living Right - Runneth Into It AND Is Safe!
The Word Of God Is A Sword AND A Shield A Path A Blanket A Ground Upon Which To Kneel!
The Word Of God Is A Cup A Plate A Map But Never A Slate For The Word Is Sealed AND In Heaven Settled So That Man By His Own Actions For Or Against It Will His Own Fate Settle!
Do Not Watch Man! Do Not Follow This Wicked Man! The Way Of Man Is Ever A Lie! Do Not Live To Man For In That Way You Will Surely Die!
Do Not Trust Your Way To Your Eyes! You Should Know By Now That Man's Eyes Tell The Comfortable Lie!
Do Not Listen To Truth With Carnal Ears! Carnal Ear Are Receptacles That Hear What The Carnal Ear Wants To Hear! They Itch And They Tickle To Enjoy What The Carnal Heart Wants To Swear AND Ungodly Men Unrepentant Unregenerate Unashamed Unafraid Take Pride In Performance The Name The Word Of The Holy God To Defame Enjoying Remaking God In The Image Of Their Own Desperate Dying Selves Proffering That They Can The Seeking Sinner Save!
Brethren,
Put That Book On The Condemned Things Shelf!
Brethren,
Beloved Of The Eternal God I Beseech You Look Not To Man For Help! Go To Your Creator And There Your Heart Vent!
The Living Word Cannot Change For The Living God Of And In The Word Cannot Change So Stop! Think!
AND Look To Yourselves AND From This Gross Folly Turn About!
Do Not Elevate A Creature Above The Height Of The Creator God For The Creature Can Never Be His Own Creator - He Is Working For His Paymaster Satan - That Wily Fraud - Who Has Given Him A Brief To Cause Men To Sell Their Unbuyable Souls Throwing Away Their Confidence To Receive A Few Wood Coals Masquerading As Diamonds Purchased With Fool's Gold!
In The Beginning Was The Word! The Word Is God! The Word Dwells Among Us - It Is Time To Really Know Him!

Refusal To Reform Your Ways
