HAPPY SABBATH + SIN: A Light Thing?! + PRAYER: Bless Us To Do Thy Will, Lord!

Treating Sin As A Light Thing
Is An Attitude Quite Foolish
For
Only Great Evil Comes Of It
As Things Thought Light
Will

- With Passage Of Time -
Become In The Soul
A Gross
A Damnable ... Habit
Leading One

Unto The Darkness Of The Blackest Night!

The Worst Thing A Parent
Can Do To A Child
Is To Treat Early Wrongdoing As Cute
As A Flower

That Will Soon Pass Away
For
What Was Considered Cute In The Precocious
The One Learning Wrong ... Young
Becomes A Thing To Be Despised
As That Soul Grows
AND
Egregiously
Gets Bold!

The Act Of Constant Sinning
Creates Muscle Memory In Man
AND
It Is Added To Man's Already Sinful
Natural Inclination
So, Please
I Beseech You
Teach The Young Ones To Do Right
So That Satan And His Minions
Cannot Deceive Them
Encouraging Them
To Be Creatures Of The Night!

There Is No Eternal Profit In Sinning
Though One May Seemingly Enjoy Temporal Gain! 

There Is No Harvest Celebration
When Damnation Is The Result Of Sin's Shame!
There Is But A Fearful Anticipation
Of The Fruits Of Wrongdoing
When The Judge Of All Men
- That Paymaster Supreme -
Issues Your Earned Paycheck
As Promised
For The Displeasing Work
That You, In Unrighteousness
Greatly Enjoyed Doing!

Little Sinners Unchallenged
Unchanged
Become
Iniquitous Reprobates
Left To Their Own Devices
Abandoned
To Their Own Self-Prescribed
- But Prophesied -
Fate
So, Please
Do A Body Good
AND
Teach The Children Right
AND
By Your Own Good Example
Lead Them On The Straight And Narrow Way
AND
In This Manner
There Won't Be Any
Own-Sin Self-Pay
For They Will Be Living In The Light
AND
Not Be Upon Mankind A Scourge

A Blight!

PRAYER:

Dear Father,

Help Us Not To Consider Sin

A Light Thing!

Help Us To Call Sin By Its Right Name!

Help Us To Do Right

And

Walk Right

In The Will Of The Lord

So That In The Dark Day

We Shall Not Be The Inheritors Of

Condemnation's Damnation

And

Face The Lake Of Fire

Cast Out

From Eternal Life With Jesus Christ

Our Only God And Master!

Bless Us To Do Thy Will

As We Fill Our Hearts And Minds

With Truth

From The Book Of The Good News

So That We May

Ever Always

Satan's Base Entreaties

Vigorously Refuse!

We Love You, Lord!

Have Mercy On Us

And Bless

For You Are The Holy God

And

Able!

In Jesus Christ's Name

We Humbly Pray And Plead!

AMEN.

 **--**--**--**--**

Every Human Being Knows

That Sin Is Wrong!

Every Willful Sinner

Believes

That He Can Truth

In The Street

Cast Down!

So ...

Be Not Presumptuous!

And

Be Not As The One Profane!

But

Accept The Truth Of The Gospel

And

Get Off Of Satan's

Way To Damnation

Fast Lane!

PRAYER: Father, Our Strength Is Little!

I Come To You, Father!

I Call You Lord And God!

I Bless You For The Blessings

And

I Am Grateful For The Grace

And

I Am So Thankful To Know

That To Me

You Will Never Act The Fraud!

I See You Now

Through A Glass

Dimly

But In Faith

I Look To The Great Day

When I Shall See My Jesus

In Peace

And

Face To Face!

Until That Day, Father

Be My Guardian And My Guide

And

Bless Me To Do Your Bidding

As I, In Your Love

In Hope And By Faith

- Striving For The Mastery

That Is Victory Over Sin -

Do Abide!

Help Me to Wait, Lord

Ever Always On You

For You Know All

See All

Are In All

And

You Are My All And All

And

By Your Grace-Filled Blessing

I Seek Ever To Answer:

"Yes, Lord! I Am Listening!"

When I Hear Your Soft And Sweet Voice

Call!

Remember My Brethren 

Near And Far

Known And Known

Those Already In The Ark Of Safety

And

Those Now Headed To The Door Still Ajar!

Bid The Children Draw Nigh

For

Night Is Falling Fast

And

Help Us Walk Straight

And

With Endurance

For

It Is The One God Eternal

Upon whom

Our Soul's Lot Is Cast!

Help Us To Pray Without Ceasing!!

Help Us To Not Love Sleep!

Help Us To Keep Oil In Our Trimmed Lamps

And, Please

Let Peace

The Carrying Of the Peace Of The Good News

The Gospel

Be The Never Worn-Out Shoes

On Our Feet!

Let The Angels Surround Us!

Let The Holy Spirit Indwell

For We Await Our Returning Christ Jesus

Upon Whom Our Thoughts Constant

Dwell!

Our Strength Is Little

But You

Lord God Almighty

Are Eternity-Wide Strong

And We

The Willing Faithful

With You

Will

In Truth

Walk Humbly Along!

Have Mercy, Lord

On Us

For We Hold You

In Godly Fear!

In The Name Of Jesus

We Pray And ... Humbled

Plead!

We Love You, Lord!

AMEN.

PRAYER: Dear Lord, Serve Me Salt!

Father Most Faithful,

I Come Unto Thee

Asking For Salt Unmeasured

Your Grace

That Is Ever Sufficient For Me!

By Your Grace

Help Me To Walk Wise!

By Your Wisdom

Grant Me Discernment

To Detect Satan's Lies

And

By The Blood Of The Innocent

Make Thou Me Clean

So That In The Day Soon Dawning

Fear Of Condemnation

Will Not Cause It To Be To Me

The Thing To Hide From

The Thing Best Not Seen!

Riches Bring Cares Insurmountable

That Poor Men

Ignorant

Wish That They Could Have

But, Lord

I Beseech You

Have Mercy On Me

And

Bless Me With

The Spirit Of Contentment

For What I Have

And

Spare Me The Curse

Of Lusting After Things

That In Your Wisdom

Are Not Things That Will Bless Me

And

Cause Me To Achieve

Your Personal Gift Of Immortality

And

Eternal Wings!

Father,

Your Word Says That

The Poor Is Better Than The Liar

So Keep Me From Lies! 

Your Word Says Get Wisdom

That Principal Thing

So, Please

Grant Me Wisdom

And Understanding

That Only Comes From You

So That The Knowledge

That I Daily Gain

Will Be A Blessing To Me

And

- In The Sharing Thereof - 

The Children Of The Kingdom True!

Father,

Please Let Patience In Me

Do A Perfect Work

So That I Am Complete

And

Perfect

Just As Is My God

And

Keep Me, Lord

Keep Me In Your Blessed Care

And

Away

Far Away

From The Shiny Beads And Baubles Of Unbelief

Distrust

Disobedience

Denial

And

Self

That Are Liberally Distributed By

The One Damned

Satan The Fraud

Who Is Vainly Trying To God!

I Love You, Lord

And

I Worship You Alone

And Not Giving Your Glory To The False Other! 

Please Accept These Few Petitions 

And

Make Me A Fit Vessel

For Your Heavenly Use! 

In Jesus Christ's Holy Name

I Fervently Pray And Humbly Plea!

AMEN.

SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT: SELF ... Daring Almighty God?!

... The Questions Are Simple:

Why Should Your Personal Choice Affect My Free Will?!
Why Should Your Freedom To Make Foolish
Even Egregiously Bad Decisions
Cost Me My Life?!
AND, FURTHERMORE Have You Even Considered
How Each Person's Free Will
Each Person's Free AND Personal Choice
AND
"No Man Knows The Day Nor The Hour 

WHEN The Son Of Man Cometh!"Intersect?!

I Once Heard A Pastor Say
That Because He Is So Certain
Of His Soul's Sure And Promised Salvation
That He Would Not Defend Himself
Against An Intruder
A Bandit
Even If It Cost Him His Life
Because
It Could Lead To
- AFTER 
His Demise -
That Bold And Ravening Sinner
Repenting Of Known Sin
AND
Coming To Jesus
AND
Being Saved For Eternity!

Maybe He Was Thinking Of What Jesus Said:

Greater Love Hath No Man

But He That A Man Lay Down His Life For His Friends!

And I Would Say
That He Is Wrong?!

I Agree!
Work Out Your Own Soul's Salvation!

Jesus Christ's Life
Is The Only Life
That Was 

That Is 

The Suitable Sacrifice For Sin!

Everybody Knows Right From Wrong!
God's Law Is Written On Every Man's Heart
So That They Are Without Excuse!

But What Of Innocent Blood As Seed?!

Indeed ...!

So We Come To The Crux Of The Matter ...

Tomorrow Is Not Promised!
Now Is The Acceptable Time!
Now ... Is The Day Of Salvation!

What Of The Martyrs?!

What About
If We Confess Our Sin
He Is Faithful And Just
To Forgive Us Our Sin
And Cleanse Us From ALL Unrighteousness?!

What About
If Any Man Hear My Voice
And Answer?!

What About Harden Not Your Heart?!

What Of 

Get Wisdom!

Get Understanding?!

What Of

Let Us Hear The Conclusion Of
THE WHOLE MATTERFear God
And Keep His Commandments
For The Living God IS Judge?!

What Of 

My Reward Is With Me
To Give Everyman According As
His Personal Work Shall Be?!

Harden Not Your Hearts!

Be Ye Holy As Your Father Is Holy!

Blood As Seed Works
While God's Mercy Is Still Working!
It Won't Work
When Man's Probation Is Finished!

This, Somehow 

- To Me -
Smacks Of A Certain Level Of Presumption ...!

... Just Like Death Bed Confessions
And
Death Bed Repentances!

Too, True!

Man Looks At The Outward Appearance!

Almighty God Looks At The Man's Heart!

Think About This:

You Stab A Man In His Heart ... Deliberately
AND THENPlead With Him Not To Die
... As You Try To Save Him From Dying!

That's Presumptuous!

We Need To Confess Our Known Sin
And Repent To God Every Day

In Jesus Christ's Name
For
No Man Knows The Day
Nor The Hour
WHEN
The Son Of Man Cometh

Is All That I'm Going To Say!

Be Careful
Ye That Think Ye Stand
Lest Ye Fall!

No Man Should Take A Stance Like That Pastor!

We Daily Sin

By Thought Word And Deed

AND

We Need To Remember The Word:

Every Man Has The Same Opportunity

AND

We Should Remember That

The Soul That Sins

It Shall Die

AND

Unconfessed Sin Is Sin ... Unforgiven!

Any Final Thoughts ...

By Thy Word, Thou Art Justified!
By Thy Word, Thou Art Condemned!

I Sincerely Believe That That Pastor's Idea
Is Heaven-Daring Arrogance!

Nowhere In Scripture
Will You Find A Saint Of God
Presuming Upon God's Mercy
In Such An Unseemly Manner!

We Are To Give Up Fleeting Things For Christ

And For The Sake Of The Gospel!

We Do Not ... In My Personal Opinion
Have The Right
Nor The Power
To Decide That Our Life Is God's Seed

And Be Hopeful Of Something
That In All Likelihood
May Never Happen!

No Criminal Ever Said
Or Will Ever Say: 

I Shall Go And Kill Me A Good Christian Man

A Man Sure Of His Soul's Salvation

A Heaven-Bound Saint

And God ... 

The Living Eternal God Of All Grace

Who Pays All

BUT

Is Paid By The Wilful Desire Of The Christian

To Be A Human Christ

AND

Who Knows The Thoughts

AND

Intents Of The Desperately Wicked Human Heart

Is Going To

- In Servile Cooperation 

For This "Once Saved Always Saved" Man's Willing Sacrifice - 

Convert Me

And Save My Soul

From The Second Death

Even Though I Am Wilfully Sinning

AND

Have Repeatedly, Flagrantly, Scorned His Free Grace

AND

Have Purposefully Chosen

The Way Wherein Lies

Death!

You Ain't Lie!

Wouldn't It Be Easier
For The Christian
In Faith
For Faith
To Pray:

God Have Mercy!

Save Me!

And Then Say
To That Wilful Sinner:

In The Name Of Jesus Christ The Righteous 

Stop!?

The Apostle Paul Consented To Murder
AND
By His Zealous Wrong-Headed Efforts
Caused Many Christians To Perish!

 
Jesus Christ, Himself
Met The Then-Called Saul
- On His Way To Harm More Christians -
AND
Asked Him Why He Was Persecuting
Not The Christians
But Christ, Indeed
AND
Blinded Him
AND
Cast Down His Vain Imaginings
AND
Caused Him To Walk In Physical Blindness
For Three Days
- The Same Time That Christ Had Lain In A Sinner's Grave -
To Ultimately Give Him Spiritual Eyesight!

He Repented

AND
Was Converted
AND

Physical Scales
- At The Appointed Time -
Fell From His Eyes

AND
He Became 

The Ultimate Warrior For Christ!

Paul Was Humbled
AND

He Humbled Himself!

Not Once Did He Say:

I Shall Let Them
- The Adversaries -
Kill Me
So That They
- By My Personal Sacrifice -
WILL
Be Saved!

Paul Did All To Preserve His Life! 

Paul Did Not Indulge
In Heaven-Daring Arrogance
Because He Had
"An In ... An Inside Track To God!"

That Faithful Apostle

At His Life's End

Said:

Paul Trusted The Lord
AND
The Word Of The Lord
AND
He Chose To LIVE
For His Jesus
AND ... WORK ARDENTLYFor The Salvation Of Dying-In-Sin
Dying-Through-Sin
Men's Souls!

The Point Here Is ...

As Jesus Christ Asked The Murmuring Pharisees:

Which Is Easier?

To Say

Son, Thy Sins Be Forgiven Thee! 

OR

Take Up Thy Bed And Walk!?!

Which In This Case, Is

Dare To Die For The Sinner 

Who Will Perhaps Not Be Saved
AND
You, Yourself, Are Probably Also Lost
Because We Sin Daily By Thought Word Deed
OR
Dial-Up Yourself Your Saving Jesus
By Fervent Prayer
AND
Request The Angel Guard
While Also Requesting
That The Holy Spirit
Meet The Evil-Doer
Face To Face!

Brethren,

If You Say
You Trust Believe Worship Praise
Obey Honor

AND
Glorify Almighty God
In Your Person
Do It All Day
Every Day
In Every Way
In Every Situation!

There Ain't No Back-Door To Heaven!
There Ain't No Special Pass-By-Here For Saints!

The Door To Heaven Is Jesus Christ The Lord!

AND
The Key To The Door Is Living Faith! 

The Way IS Straight And Narrow
For We Must Live By Christ
- The Way The Truth And The Life -
AND
We Are Not To Do Anything
That Will Cause Us To Lose Our Crown
AND
That Free ... To All REPENTANT SINNERS
Eternal Life!

Brethren,

I Caution You

AND
Myself
I Am Certainly Including:

Check Yourself
Before You Wreck Yourself!

Let Us Ever Seek Out The Will Of Almighty God
For Our Lives!! 

Be Faithful ... Unto Death!
Don't Call Death Unto You!

What Is Our Watch-Word?!

Jesus Saves ... To The Uttermost!

Please Do All

To Grow In Daily Grace

Through Your Working Faith
For, Soon

- Very Soon -
We Shall See Jesus Christ
Face To Face!

PRAYER : I Acknowledge My Need, Lord!

In Times Like These, Dear Father
I Desperately Need My Daily Share Of Faith
And
I Ask You, Lord

To Help Me
Not To Think Of You As A Gift Horse

To Be Inspected To Meet My Standard
And
End Up A Dying Disgrace!

Father,
Help Me To Repair Unto You
Moment By Moment
Day In And Day Out
- Not Given To Turnabout -
And
Thereby Building A Known
Grounded
Experienced
Relationship
Filled With Daily Spiritual Overcomings
That To The Brethren
For Their Edifying
I May Talk, Sing
And
Thankfully Prayer About!

Help Me, Lord
And My Brethren, Likewise
To Make The Sweet Psalmist's
Beautiful Words
The Comfort For Our Souls
By Believing

And Trusting

And Repeatedly Saying:

The Lord Is My Shepherd

My Refuge And Strength

And

I Will Not Fret Over Evil-Doers!

I Will Lift Up My Eyes Unto The Hills

And Sing Praise 

For I Know My Help Comes From The Lord

Whose Blood For Me Was Shed!

My Flesh And My Heart Are Failing

But God Is My Portion Forever!

I Put My Trust In You, Lord! 

I Will Stand On Thy Word 

For I Know I Will Behold Your Face 

In Righteousness 

In The Day That I Awake With Your Likeness!

Help Me, Lord 

For I Desire To Declare

With The Heavens 

Your Glorious Works!

Lord, 

I Am Waiting Patiently Upon You

For I Know You Hear My Cries

And

Are Calling Me!

Please Keep Me Humble

And

In The Secret Place

That Secret Place Of Prayer

Where Heavenly Love

Faith Grace Mercy

Confession Repentance Forgiveness

Blessing Peace Rest

Hope Help Healing

And

Salvation Justification And Sanctification 

Reside

For I Desire Glorification 

So That At The Day Of Appointing

I Will Forever

With You Abide!

Shelter Me Under Your Wings

And

Protect Me From The Snares Of The Fowler

Who Seeks My Life To Destroy!

Keep Me By Thy Great Power

For

I Accept That Your Blessings

Make Me Rich Indeed

For You Add No Sorrow To Them!

Though The Heavens Fall, Lord

Keep Me Faithful!

Though The Armies Of The Destroyer

Surround Me And Strong, Call

Hold Me

Help Me

Save Me

Seal Me

For I

Upon The Rock Of My Salvation

Fall!

Father, 

You Are My Lamp

My Light

My Way Home 

My Truth

My Life!

I Am Your Obedient Child

Your Humble Servant

And

Your Hands

Your Feet

Your Voice

In The World

So

Teach Me

Lead Me

Guide Me

Show Me Your Ways

And

Bless Me To Do Your Bidding

Is My Fervent Prayer!

I Have No Other Confidant!

I Own No Other God!

I Indulge No Other Worship! 

I Deny The Liar

And

Choose Not To Walk

In The Ways Of The Fraud!

Correct Me

And

Direct Me, 

Lord

Today

And

Bless Me

And

Bind Me To Thyself

For

I Have No Desire 

For My Own Sin To Pay!

Though Trials Come!

Though Comforts Cease!

Though Earthly Hopes Cease

Hope For Heaven

In My Heart

Is Surging

So, Please

Do Me The Great Favor

And Let Sin From My Life

Be Continually Purging!

I Give You Me, Lord! 

I Accept Your Gifts

The

Glorious

Impossible Moving Me 

From

The Gross Grasp Of Yielding

To 

Temptation 

To

Salvation From Sin!

I Need You, Lord

So 

Help Me With You To Walk

Ever In Accord! 

Let Your Holy Spirit Fall Upon Me! 

Let The Holy Angels Surround Me

And

Influence And Protect Me 

And

Let Your Name Be Glorified

And

Jesus Christ Praised

In Whose Matchless Name

I Pray And Plead!

I Love You, Lord! 

Have Mercy And Ever Always

According To Will

And

In Your Way

Bless! 

AMEN.

**==**==**==**

Earthly Success 

Without

Jesus Christ The Lord 

Measures

Marks

And

Makes One

An Eternal Mess

Is

A Clear Message!
