HAPPY SABBATH + Come Ye That Love The Lord ...!




It Is Time For All Of Us
Who Are Called Christians
AND
Who Are Fundamental
In Our Beliefs
To Get Truly Serious About The Truths Written 
In The Preserved Word Of God
In The King James Bible
AND
Prepare
- By God's Great Grace -
To Do Battle With Satan
That Known Deceitful 
AND
Surely Damned Fraud!

We Need To Get Behind Our Belief
AND
Stand Firm In Jesus Christ's Faith
AND
Move With Alacrity
Powered By Firm Conviction
To Show This Dying World
That A Victory Has Been Purchased For Us
AND
That We Know
That We Are In A Victor's Race!

Think For A Moment ...

What It Is That It Truly Means
When The Eternal God
Maker Of Heaven And Earth
Asked 
The Known And Branded Dragon:

Hast Thou Considered
My Servant Job?


AND

Consider
That There Is No Way
On God's Green Earth
That Job
- Without The Living God Being For Him - 
Could Win
In Any Match Against Satan!

Almighty God
Takes Cares Of His Own!
Trust Him!


We Need To Accept 
The Truth Of The Word Which Says:



Almighty God Knows
The Beginning From The End
ANDObviously
All Points Imaginable
Unimaginable
Known To Him
Unknown To Us
In Front Of
Next To
On Top Of
Behind
Under
AND
On The Compass
AND
He Knows Who Are His Faithful Children
Whose Names Will Be In Book
When The Roll Is Called!

Brethren,
For A Lack Of Fit Superlatives
I Shall Say That
We Have The Amazing Eternal
All-Seeing All-Knowing
Ever-Present
On Time Never Late
Can't Be Surprised
Never Fooled
Can't Be Ignored
Never Thwarted
Glorious God
For Savior Redeemer
Friend
Sustainer Provider
Sanctifier Justifier
Foundation
AND
Transporter
To Everlasting Delights!

When The Living God 
Permits 
Satan
To Have A Go At You
Be Strong In The Lord
AND
In The Power Of His Might
AND
Don't Charge God Foolishly
BUT
Retain The Integrity Of Your Living Faith
AND
- Supremely Confident In The Lord Christ -
Walk In The Shadow Of The Eternal's Wing
Praise The Lord From Whom All Blessings Flow
Sing The Song Of The Redeemed
AND
Keep Marching To Zion
As You Sound The Battle Cry Of

Victory In Jesus!


As You Pray The Promises Of God
AND
Rest 

In The Peace That Defies Human Understanding!

This Battle Is Not Ours!
This Battle Is The Lord's
AND
All We That Will Not Cast Away Our Confidence
Which Has The Sure Recompense
- The Sure Payment -
Of Reward
Must Wait
Must Wait
Must Wait ... Patiently
For The Harvest Of The Earth
After Which
Is Our Day Of Celebration!

Please, Brethren  ...

Pray For Spiritual Eyes!
Pray For Spiritual Ears!
Pray For The Heart Of Flesh!
Pray For The Indwelling Of The Holy Spirit!
Pray For And Expect The Protection
Of The Holy Angels
AND
Be Not Careful How You Speak Of
AND
Stand For The Lord
When You Stand In God's Truth!

The Furnace Had The Son Of God!
The Lions' Den Had Angelic Lion-Controllers!
The Boiling Oil Ain't Had No Heat
AND
Even If You're Dying
Like Stephen
Your Comfort Is Jesus Christ Victorious
Next To The Father On That Glorious Throne
Wherefrom None Can Him Unseat!

A Strong Tower
In A Mighty Fortress
Is Our God!
He Made Us All!
He Calls The Shots
AND NOTLying Satan
That Unregenerate Fraud!

Oh, Child Of The King
Look Up
Believe And Live
For
The King Of Love
- Our Good Shepherd -
Paid With His Own Life
An Imperishable Aka Eternal Life For Us
To Win
By Acceptance And Obedience
Love And Trust
AND
Enduring Faith And Hope!

Lead, Kindly Light
Your Trembling Children In This Battle!
Lead, Shepherd Dear
Your Once Lost Sheep Safely Home!
Oh, King Of Love
Let Blessed Grace And Mercy
Be Our Forever Companions
As We Faithful
- Abiding In The Secret Place -
Use Fervent Instant Constant Prayer
As Our Royal Telephone!


Come Soon, Lord!
We Desire The Comfort Of
The Forever Home
For
We Want To Joyfully See
In Peace
The Marred Marked Face
Of
The Beloved Christ
Who
- As The Pascal Lamb -
For Our Sin
Did Willingly Atone!



Brethren,

Trust God For ...  All Things He Knows!
Trust God And ... Grow!
Trust God And In Faith
Obey
AND
All Things Endure
AND
To Heaven
- At The Last Trumpet -
We, Overcoming Believers
Shall Exulting
Go!

Almighty God
Already Knows
That In The Faith Of Jesus
You Shall Overcome
So ... Live Like The Winner
That The Almighty Knows
That In Him
You Will Be!
Trust The Word, Brethren!
Trust The Word!

Of Plausibility And Palatability! + PRAYER: ... In The Certain Hour!


Beware Of The Lofty Call
To Corporate Sin
- With Your Mouth -
That Comes
From
The Voice Of The One
The Blind World Trusts!

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

Almighty God Is Not Mocked!


I Had Received A Plate Of Falsehood!
It Had Been Vaguely Sprinkled With 
Truth
Which Had Given It ... Plausibility
AND
Rendered It ... Palatable
AND
Suitable For Dynamic Dissemination
To Questing Seniors And Teachable Youth!

I Sniffed It!
I Touched My Index Finger In It!
I Touched Said Finger To My 
Tempted-To-Taste Tongue
Which Immediately Had Me Spitting
As It Badly Burned My Vu
lnerable Palate!

'Tis Tainted!
'Tis Poisoned!
This Is Real
 Falsehood!
This Is Not
Can Not
Be Truth!

I Found Out
That Seasoning Falsehood With Truth
Does Not Change Falsehood's Character!
I Found Out
That I Had Something Very Precious To Lose!
I Found Out
That I Need The Very Real Truth
From The Real, True And Living Holy Eternal God Of Heaven
AND NOT
Spurious Truth Running Wild And Loose!

It Must Be Said ...

The Nature Of Deception
IS
Like Pouring Clear Poison
Into Clear Water!
On The Exposed Surface
You Cannot Tell Them Apart
BUT
You Quickly See The Effects
When Men Start Falling Down
This Life To Depart!

Please ...

Be Not Deceived By Pretty Packaging
Smooth Words
Nor
Polished Deceits
For
The End Result
Is A Lost Soul
Whom The Wicked And Damned Devil 
Did Wilfully Deceive!

Brethren Beloved,
However Unpalatable To Your Current Situation
Absolute, Fundamental, Truth May Be
Pray For God's Free-To-All Grace
AND
Confidently Swallow It!
Truth May Be Bitter In Your Mouth
BUT
It Sits Sweet In Your Belly
Like Good Honey
AND
You Won't Have On It To Bet 
Any Perishable Money!




PRAYER:

Lord Of Mercy!

God Of Grace!

Bless Your People
With Full Access To The Available Truth
And
To Continue Walking Wise With The Truth
So That We May In Peace
See Your Face!

Please Guard Us
Against The Wiles Of The Evil One
And
Protect Us From The Mixed Wine
That Is Being Liberally Poured Out
By The Modern Babylonians
Into The Consecrated Vessels
Of Your Holy Temple!



Help Us, Lord
Not To Indulge In Vain Repetitions
As Do The Heathen
For
According To Your Living Word
That Will Not Avail Us Anything
For Our Much Speaking!

Help Us, Lord
To Stand Up For The Right
Though The Heavens Fall
And
Please Keep Us In Your Care
For
We Trust You
And
Hope In Our Lord Christ
And
Stand On The Promises
And
Hold Close To Our Hearts
The Blessed Assurance Of Eternal Life!

Help Us, Lord
Not To Make Shipwreck Of Our Faith
So As To Eat Moldy Bread
And
Drink Mixed Wine Consecrated To Idols!

Pity Us, Lord
In Our Known Distress
And
Grant Unto Us
 - Who Will To Do Of Your Good Pleasure -
The Outpouring
Of
The Holy Spirit!

Let The Holy Angels Surround
Guard And Protect Us
And, Lord
Please Continue
- To Its Prophesied Conclusion -
The Good Work That Your Have Begun In Us
For
We Call You, Lord And God
In Love 
And 
For Righteousness!

Father,
Let Your Grace
Be Ever Sufficient For Us
In These Troubled Times
In Which We Live
For
Without You, Lord
We Are Well And Truly Doomed!

Help Us Not To Trust In
The Blind Guides
By Our Using Our Own
Blinded Mortal Eyes!
Help Us, Lord
To Live
In The Eternal Faith
Of
The Lord Jesus Christ!

Help Us, Lord
Not To Trust In gods
Made With Man's Hands
Out Of The Evil Imaginings
Of
Wicked Men's Hearts!


Oh, Lord
Pity The Wanderer!
Comfort The Weary!
Lift Up The Fallen!
Feed The Hungry!
Save The Repentant
And
In The Certain Hour
Redeem The Blessed!
In Jesus Christ's Holy Name
We Humbly - In Gratitude -
Pray And Earnestly Plead!
AMEN, AMEN, AMEN.

PRAYER: In This Quiet Hour ...!



Lord,
I Am Thankful For Your Grace
And
For The Fact 
That You Look Not On My Outward Appearance
And
I Ask You In This Quiet Hour 
To Look Upon My Heart
And
If There Be Any Wickedness
Or Willfulness Or Selfishness
Hiding Within Me
Please, I Beseech You
Cause It From Me To Depart!


Lord,
I Am A Child In Many Ways
And
Often Do Rightly Called Childish Things
But, Lord
I Believe You
And
I Am Willing To Listen 
And
To Be Brought Up
In Your Fear And Admonition
And
I Beseech You
Please Teach Me
Lead Me
Guide Me
So That I May Wise Up
And
From Childish Oft' Foolish Ways
Grow Apart!


Father, 
I Am A Servant Willing
Desiring To Become A Faithful Steward
For My Master And My God
And
I Beseech You
With All That Is Within Me
To Fit Me
And Equip Me
And Send Me Off
According To Your Will
And In Your Way
To Do Your Bidding
For The Eternal Kingdom
Always Faithful And Hopeful
And
Never From The Ways Of Righteousness
Ever To Depart!


Root Me, Lord
Ground Me
And
Raise Me Up
To Be A Polished And Beautiful Pillar
In The Temple Of My God
For
My Heart Trusts The Word
Of The Living God Of The Few Faithful
And
I Desire To See With My Own Eyes
- And In Peace -
The Eternal God
Whose Broken Heart
Gave New Life
To My Brethren And Me!


Father,
Please Help Me To Keep Hope Alive
No Matter What Evil
Against Which I Must Strive
So That In The Fullness Of Time
I May Ascend To Eternal Life!


Please Forgive Me My Trespasses
Against Your Holy Name
As I Confess And Repent 
For
I Love You, Lord
And
Desire In Your Sight To Be Obedient!
Let Your Mercy Continue Freely To Flow!
In The Name Of The Holy Jesus
I Humbly Pray, And Plead!
AMEN.

POWER, ADORATION & PRAISE: Serving The Eternal God!

Give Me Power!
Give Me Praise!
Give Me Adoration
Until My Eyes Glaze!

Brethren,

Let Us Serve God!
God Did Not Call Us To Be Served!
Power Belongs To The Almighty
AND
Prayers, Praise, Adoration And Worship
We Shall Offer Him
Until By Death
Our Eyes Glaze!

Two Different Schools!
Two Students In The Class!
One Longs For The Cloak Of Power!
One Longs For The Cloak Of Righteousness
From The Almighty Power!

Two Classes Of Men!
One Willing To Purchase Class!
One Trusting In The Merits Of Him Who
Died 
To Give Fallen Men Permanent Seats
In The Eternal Class!

Two Men!
Two Conclusions!
Only One Can Be The Right!
Will You
Brother Sister
Naysayer Friend
Choose The Conclusion
That Brings Eternal Peace
From The Forever Friend
Who Gives Life
And That
Without End?!

I Will Serve The God Of Heaven
AND
Honor The Christ Who Died For Me!
I Will Do Service
For The Salvation Of My Fellow Man
For
My Lord And My God
So Commissions Me!

Let Us Not Do An End-Run 
For The Corporeal Soon-To-Die  Power!
Let Us Do 
The Believing Man's Committed-To-Christ Walk-Of-Faith
On The Straight And Narrow Way!
Let Us Serve With Hope
Him Who Is Forever Faithful
AND
Get Out From Under The Thrall Of
The Glory-Hungry Goat!
Let The Lord Christ Cut The Choking Rope! 
Power Belongs To The Living God!
Praising God Is Faith's Reward!
Adoration Is The Gift
That Our Faith Willingly Gives To Our God
AND
Service Brings To Us
The Enduring Overcomer's Reward!

If Jesus Christ Does Not Give
IT
To You

IT
Is Not Worth Having!

BEARING A CROSS: Daily Following After Christ!

Lord, Have Mercy!

What's The Matter!

Matter?!
You Have The Nerve To Ask Me
What's The Matter?!

Shall I Repeat Myself?!

Not Necessary!
I'm Just Steamed At You ... Um, All ... Men!

Okay, Mavis.
What DID Seibert Do ... This Time?!

That Big Able Heathen
That Calls Himself A Cushion...!

Huh?!
Why Would He Call Himself A Cushion?!

Sorry!
That Chris... Ti... An
Just Told Our Son To Take Up His Cross
And Follow Him!!
What Kind Of Father Would Do That?!

Our Father
Which Art In Heaven ...!

... Why Are You Saying Your Prayer?!

I Didn't!

I Just Distinctly Heard You Say:
Our Father
Which Art In Heaven!

Yes, You Did!

So Why Were You Praying?!

I Wasn't!

Come, Now!

Seriously! I Was Responding To Your Question!

Really?

Really!

I Don't Get It!

When Last You Cracked Open The Old Bible?!

Just Last We ... Last Mon...!
What Year Is This, Again?!

2017 ... And All But Over!

I Know Now!
It Was ... The End Of Last Year!

I Shall Now Say
- In Your Behalf -
Lord, Have Mercy!

Whatever!

If You Opened Your Bible
You Would Know What God Said!

Jesus Himself Said That 
If Any Man Will Follow Him
He Must Take Up His Own Cross
Daily ...!

Who Wants To Carry A Cross Daily?!
That Don't Make No Kind Of Sense!
A Daily Cross Is A Daily Burden
And Carrying That Heavy-Tail Thing
Your Strength Is Soon Spent!

Did You Not Hear The Part
... And Follow Jesus?!

I, I, I Guess I Wasn't Really Listening!
I Could Hear The Words
But The Meaning Wasn't Coming Through!

Lord, Help Us!
We Listen But Don't Hear!
We Hear But We Aren't Listening!

I Shall Speak Slowly And Distinctly:

You Must Pick Up Your Cross
Today, And Every Day
And Daily Follow
Our Lord Jesus Christ!

There Is Strength For The Journey
AND
Courage For The Way
AND
Faithful Believers
Should Not On This Matter Delay!

If
- When - We Follow Jesus
We Shall See Persecution
AND
Bear A Cross
To Be "Nailed" To That Cross
BUT
Before That Dark Day
We Will Petition
Pray
Converse
Plead
Commune
With Our Holy God
AND
- In Perfect Obedience -
Do The Will Of The Father
AND
We Will Be Fed Of The Holy Spirit
AND
Strengthened By Holy Angels
AND
True To The Great Commission
We Will Have The Necessary Food Set Before Us
On Experience's Custom-Made Table!

There Is A Crucible For Every Christ-Following Christian
For
Perfection Is The Watchword!

Remaking Us In The Creator's Image
Is On The Trajectory
AND
For Heaven At The Last
The Conclusion Of The Days Of Faithful Endurance
Will See Us Gloriously Triumphant
On The Great Day Of Rejoicing!
That's The Blessing
For Me And Thee!

Cross-Bearers Do Not Walk Alone!

So Why Didn't He Just Say So?!

It's Hid Treasure, Baby Girl!
Hidden Treasure!
You've Got To Open The Book!

Oh.

Blood Sport?!



The Day Of Accounting Is Coming!



There Is A Blood Sport
In Christendom
That Is Decimating Church Congregations!
It Is The Sport
Bible Pick-Apart
With
God's Word Being Microscopically Analyzed
Even Though We Know
That Our Vision
Is Partial
Incomplete
- Finite -
AND
Our Action
Does Biblical Jurisprudence Defy!

The Word Of God
Is Its Own Interpreter
AND
Our Attempting To Wrestle Scripture
To Wrest It Away From The Living God
Does Not Mankind Edify
Yet
We Continue Against Conscience
AND
Common Sense
To Sell Drunk Scripture
As Though It Speaks Of
The Life Well Spent!

Changing A 1 To A 7 Is Easy!
Changing A 3 To An 8 Is A Score!
BUT
Changing A 5 To A 9
AND
A 6 To A 4
Tells All Who Are Honest
That Truth From Your Inward Parts
Has Done Given Up On You
AND
Is Escaped
Out Your Wide Open Front Door!

God's Word 
IS ... And Done!

We Are Mere Men
So
How Dare We Give The Living Word
Of The Beloved Son
A Spit-Shine Polish
AND
The Technicolor Antagonist's
Reduce-Refuse-Reconstitute Rerun?!

Are We Privy To God's Secret Counsels?! 

Are We By The Godhead Loftily Set Apart?!

Are We Higher That That Fallen Angel
Who From Heaven Was Made To Depart
OR
Are We Operating
Under The Seek And Self-Destroy Mission
Because We Do Not The Living Holy Eternal One
Hold
In Honestly Godly Fear?!

The Word Of God
Is The Transcript
Of The Living God's Character
AND
Almighty God Is Jealous For His Holy Name
AND
All Who Profane It
Will Face GodThe Eternal's Vengeful Wrath
AND
Die Forever 
Forever In Shame!

Brethren,
Let Us Not Be Presumptuous!
Presumption Is A Sin
So Let Us By Faith
Trust The Living Word
AND
Not Lean On The Devil's Fables Again!

What Is For Us To Know In Scripture
Is For Us Plainly Revealed
AND
What Is Not Revealed
For Our Eyes
Are By God's Almighty Hand Concealed!

The Redeemed Of The Eternal God
Will Be Learning Of
AND
From
The Eternal God For Eternity
AND
Of That, You Can Be Sure
BUT
Whatever The Holy God Has Kept To Himself 
- From Us Living Down Here -
As Not Needful For Us To Know
Will Still Be Branded Not Needful To Know
AND
God Won't Ever It To Us Show!

Let's Take What Is Ours
AND
Run Safely With It!

We Can Butter Our Bread With The Given Sure Word
AND
Safely Eat It!
We Can Drink The Water From The Wellspring Of Life
For
Contaminated It Is Not
AND
We Should Call Satan The Liar That He Is
AND
To His Entreaties
Give Not A Jot
For His Deceitful Word
Does Not At Becoming The Word Of God
Have Anything Close To A Remote Shot!
The Word Of God It Is Not!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Grace Has Been Given!



Grace And Glory
Love And Wrath
Speaks To The Coming Of King Jesus
At The Archangel's Trumpet's Last Blast!

Grace Is Given
To Those Who Have Chosen
God's Good Gift To Accept!
Glory Is Conferred Upon
All Those Who Have The Conditions
Of Sure Salvation Met!
Love Encloses All Who In Faith 
Believe 
In The Living Word
AND
The Wrath Of The Lamb Will Not Touch Any
BUT
Those Who To Self Lying
Do The Son Of God Deny
AND
To Truth Ever Object!

All Those Who Despised God's Grace
Will Be Destroyed By The Brightness Of His Glory!
All Those Who Dismissed God's Love
Will To Themselves Have His Fierce Wrath Applied!
The End Of The Day Of Grace
Is Almost Upon Us
When Mercy Will No Longer For Man Intercede
AND
The Day Of Wrath Is Almost Here
When
Boldly Willful Sinful Men ... Humbled
Will For God's Pitying Love
Plead!

Brethren,
God's Gifts Of Love
Cannot Be Purchased
BUT
God's Vengeance And Wrath
Surely Can
By Denial And Despising
By Doubt And Disbelief
By Faithlessness
Descents Into Foolishness
AND
Belief As The Fool
That There Is No God
AND
Gross Fraternizing
With Wily The Fraud!

There Was A Time
When Men Had Excuse
AND
In Those Times Of Ignorance
The God Of Glory Did Blink
BUT
There Is The Charge
That The Living Word
Into ALL The World Will Go
For A Witness
AND THEN 

The End Would Come
AND
This Is When The God Of Creation
Will Put On His Most Spectacular Show!

Please Do Not Permit
Willful Ignorance
Arrogancy
AND
Denial Of God's Grace
To Cause You To Lose
What Can Never Be Replaced
BUT
Do Become An Enquiring Student
AND
A Diligent Servant For Your Lord
For
Come The Day Of Vengeance
You Will Be With Those
Who Rise Up In The Air
To Meet Our King
Our Lord
Our God
Leaving Behind
The Detritus Of Sin
AND
The Eternally Damned Fraud!

Obedience Costs A Little
BUT
Pays An Awful Lot
So
Please Do Not Be Presumptuous
Disobedient
AND
Deceitful
Like Satan
Or
You Will Suffer 
Almighty God's Eternal Blot!

Think For Your Own Self!
Don't Follow The Ever-Wrong Multitude
Who Have The Truth Eschewed!
Lift Up The Lord Of Life!
Strive For The Mastery!
Endure - With Faith - Life's Strife
AND
In That Day Of Appointment
As One Victorious
You Shall Ascend Triumphantly
To Eternal Life!

Grace!
Glory! 
Love!
Wrath!
We Are Mere Men
And
Of These Things
We Don't Even Know Half
But
We Do Know The God
Who Knows All
And
Is Our All And All
And
That Should Be Sufficient
For
The Children Of The Fall!



SING ... This Song Of The Blessed Assurance!


Blessed Assurance
I'm Resting In My God!
I'm Thankful For Peace
Grace
Mercy Joy And Love!
I'm Blessed By God's Goodness
I'm Washed In Christ's Blood
I Am Of Sin Forgiven
And I'm Going To The Home Above!


Listen To My Story! 
Hear Me Sing A Good News Song! 
I'm Praising My Savior
For At Sin I Now Frown! 
I Was A Bold Sinner! 
Now Saved By Grace Am I
And I'm Walking To Zion
To Arrive There By And By!


The Call To Salvation Went Out
And I Heard The Word! 
I Saw My Need Of The Savior
And Left The Wild Goat Herd!
Of Sin I Repented
And Confession I Made
And By God's Great Goodness
In Forgiveness
I'm Bathed!


My Brother, My Sister
Please Heed The Holy Spirit's Call! 
The Angels Will Protect You
God Won't Let The Faithful Few Fall!
Satan Is The Liar! 
Sin Is A Life Thief! 
Lies Are The Lasso! 
Christ Is Relief 'n Release!


Tell Another The Story! 
Sing For The Doubting Brethren The Song! 
Let's Sing Of Our Savior
He's Coming E'er Long! 
Signs Are Fast Showing! 
Satan Knows He Has A Date
And Those Who Choose Jesus
Won't Share The Damned Fraud's 
Sure Fate!
