Physician! Heal Thyself!

A Person Once Said To Me:

I Feel Insulted!
You Did Not Use Insulting Language
But I Know That You Insulted Me!

So ...

With That Lovely Skill In Hand
I Am Going To Valiantly Try
Not To Use Insulting Language
To Talk About That Preacher Man!

Okaaay!

I Am A Firm Believer
In Selling 
- Sharing -
Only What I Honestly Believe
AND
I Do Not Respect Anyone
- Farless A Bible Teacher -
Who Preaches "Truth"
BUT
Lives Acts Talks
Aka Personally 
Publicly
Fearlessly
Unashamedly Operates
Like A Jacked-Up Slithering Sleaze!

Drat!

Yup! 
There It Is!

You Failed Already!

Ah, Well ...!

I Want To Know ...

Why Are We Permitting
"Men Of God"
To Preach The Word Of God
AND
Also Proffer The Wood Of Man
When We Know
- Of Surety -
To What They Are Getting Up
When We See The Fruits Of Their Labor
AND
Do Not Labor To Get Them Out?!

Preachers Are Not Rain Makers
So The Church Of God
Should Not Be Depending On Them
To Use Their Personal Popularity
To Prop Up The Church's Coffers
When They Are Called
- Some Called Themselves -
To Work To Save The Souls Of
Mothers Fathers 
Sisters And Brothers!

The Preacher Is Man!
The Christian Is Man
AND
Is Purported To Be A True Believer In 
Christ The Lord!

The Christian Preacher
Should Under No Circumstances
Let The Man In Him
Lead The Christian In Him
To Stop Behaving 
As The True Believer In Christ The Lord
AND
Instead
Get Up To Playing With "The Demonic Device!"

If The Preacher Man Plays With Kitty
Kitty Will Eventually Scratch The Preacher Man
AND
The Preacher Man Should Not Cry Foul
When He Has Got Kitty Cat's Fur In His Hand!

I Hear You!

All I'm Saying To The Preacher Man Is ...

Please Do Not Utilize
The Word Of God
AND
The Known Character Of The True Christian
To Facilitate The Use Of The Wood Of Man
To Feather Your Nest With Spent Kitty Cat Pelts
AND
Then Cry:

"Foul!"

When With Bare Lashes
- Caught -
You By The Seeing Public Get Pelt!

The Preacher Man Who Cannot
Control His Own Spirit
Should Never Be Telling Another Soul
How To Control Their Own
AND
That Is Why
Only The Temperate Husband Of One Wife
Not A Striker
Not A Lover Of Filthy Lucre
Not A Lover Of Wine
Should Be The Leader
In The Church Of God!
Anybody Else
Is A Worker For The Fraud!

Truth! Truth!

"Do As I Say: Don't Do What I Do!"
Is Not Going To Pass Muster
With The Living God!

More Truth! More Truth!

We Need The Lord!
We - All Of Us -
Have Got To Do Better
If We Hope To See The Lord Christ In Peace!

Amen!

PRAYER: Lord Jesus, Plead For Me!

In The Hour Of My Trial

Lord Jesus

Plead For Me

For By My Confession And Repentance

You Have From Known Sin Set Me Free!

Keep Me From The Sin Of Presumption

From Daring God To Protect Me

When I Deliberately Walk

In Known Wrong Ways

And

Bless Me, Lord

With Clear Eyesight 

So That I May See Only You

And

Enduringly Continue In The Good Faith-Fight!

Help Me, Lord

To Walk Uprightly

Turning Neither To The Left Nor The Right

And

Keep Me In The Knowledge

That Walking In Your Wisdom

Brings Me Neither Sorrow Nor Blight!

Keep Me Thankful, Lord 

I Humbly Beseech You

For You Alone Do Bless

And

Please Bless Me To Bless You

By Telling Another The Good News

So That They 

Convinced

May Reach Out To Your Waiting 

Extended Hand

And

By So Doing

Be Also Wonderfully Gloriously Blessed!

I Ask You To Remember The Brethren

Who Call Upon Your Name

In Hopeful Loving Trust!

Grant Them Your Grace

And

Protect Them

As They The Adversary Face!

Please Keep Them From Making

Shipwreck Of Living Faith!

You Are The Living God Faithful! 

You Are The Holy God True! 

You Have No Need Of Man For Conveyance

For It Is You Who Carry All Men

Be They Faithful Grateful 

Or Faithless

And

Deceitfully Ask Boldly

Blindly:

Who Are ... Why Should I Know ... You?!

Pity Us In Our Folly!

Cleanse Us From Our Shame!

Please Continue To Teach Us

The Way Of And To Life

And

Bless Us

To Acknowledge Our Need Of Our Savior 

So That By Your Available Mercy

And

Great Grace

We Will Survive The Coming Strife!

Remember Your Promise

That All Things Will Work Together

For Our Good

Because We Do Lovingly Think On

And

Daily Hourly

Moment By Moment

With Thanksgiving

Remember Thee!

AMEN.

Telling Lies: Holding Truth

Truth Telling
Lying Lips
Uncertain Grasp
Loose Hand
AND
Firm Hold
Are As Points Of The Moral Compass!

Truth Telling Is True North
AND
With Him Known
We Always Find Our Way ... HOME!

Problem Is ...!

... Oh, For Heaven's Sake!
When Is There Ever Not A Problem?!

Point Taken!

Nevertheless
The Problem Is
That That Bottom-Feeder
Aka Lying Lips
Valiantly Tries ...!

Oh, How He Tries ...!

... And Too Many Times Succeeds!

... To Palm Himself Off As The Guiding Star
The Gospel Truth
The Heart Of The Home!

THAT Is Not A Problem!
That Is A Certified Disaster!

True! True!

Lying Lips Has Been Moving Around
Almost In A Frenzy
Trying HIS Best
- The Devil's Best -
To Insinuate Loose Hand
AND
Uncertain Grasp
Into The Marriage Of
Truth Telling
AND
Firm Hold!

You Ain't Lying!

There Was Quite A Dust Up
Between Them Yesterday!

Ohhhh?! 

Do Tell!

Wellll ...
You Know That I Don't Errr ... Refresh Myself
From That Beverage Called Gossip
BUT
Truth Must Be Told
AND
I Shall Not It Withhold
For
Lives Are At Stake
AND
Blessings Are Being Forfeited
Because
Even Though Heaven Awaits The Truth Tellers
The Truth Seekers
The Truthful
The Truthers That Speak Peace
That Speak Life
Lying Lips
- In Attempting A Palace Coup -
Was Caught
Wearing Truth Telling's
Robe Of White
AND
Attempting
- Seriously Attempting -
To Persuade Firm Hold
With Him To Spend The Night!

And He Didn't Stop There ...

In True Presumption
He Had Loose Hand
AND
Uncertain Grasp
PERFUME Themselves, If You Please
With Firm Hold's Custom Fragrance
AND
Try To Get Truth Telling To Commit
Fornication Adultery
Hari Kari!

Why Don't You Just Say That
He Was Playing Dead
To SEE What Kind Of Funeral
Justice N. Law
Was Going To Give Him?!

I Hear That!

So, WHAT Happened!

What Do You Think Happened?!

Oh.

Truth Telling Intimately Knows
Firm Hold's Touch
AND
Firm Hold Intimately Knows
The Timber Of Truth Telling's Voice
AND
Heaven Came Down
AND
Hell Rose Up
AND
Light In The Darkness Turned On
AND
Complete Exposure Was Made Known!

You Can't Hide The Light!

Lying Lips
ARE
On Mankind A Blight
AND
All Who Are
True Believers 

In The Living God
Must NOT Stay Their Hand
AND
Must
- For Righteousness AND Truth -
Daily Fight!

Oh, For The Great Day
When Lying Lips
And All His kind
Shall Say:

Uh Gone!

Good Bye Forever!

Out The Lights!

From Your Lips
To The Listening God's Ears!

Three Cheers!

Hip Hip Hooray!

PRAYER: Lord, I Trust You At Your Word!

Father,

I Come To You As A Child

Of

My Own Will

Willing

To Trust You At Your Word

To Lead Me

To Guide Me

To Bless Me

To Take Me With You

Safely

To The Heavenly Home!

In Humbleness Of Heart

I Worship You

And Will To Obey You

In Every Particular

Even Though Those Whom I Can See

Say:

It Is Folly!

Come Out With Us And Play!

Lord,

I Desire The Eternal Blessing

Not The Earth's Bright Things

That All Dim and Decay!

I Desire The Elevation To Your Glory

Not The Elevation To Things

That Surely Fail The Soul 

With Blessing To Pay!

Father,

I Give You, Me

Recognizing That Without You

That I Am Wretched

Miserable

Poor

Blind

Naked

And In Need Of Everything

That The Majesty Of Heaven Has

For A Dying Child Of The Dust

To Give Him Life!

Oh, Lord,

I Am Yours

And

In Anticipation Of Eternal Blessings

I Ask You To Help Me To Walk To

And With You

With Faithful Obedience

And

In Unfeigned Humility!

Help Me Not To Lean

On My Own Understanding!

Help Me Always To Acknowledge You

And

Your Will

As Sovereign!

Help Me To Look Confidently Unto My Jesus 

For My Own Soul's Salvation

And

Bless Me Ever Always

To Keep My Eyes Securely Fixed

On The Blessed Hope

And

Be Ever Constant

And

True!

I Love You, Lord!

I Despise That Other

And

Ask You To Help Me

To Speak Truth Unto My Sisters

My Brothers

At Home 

Abroad 

Near To Sight

Those In The Faith

Those Coming To Faith

Even The Faithless

And

To Walk As Jesus Walked

Assured Of

The Heaven Bound Flight!

Bless Me To Live Right

By Faith

And

Never Sight

And

Ever Trusting

In The Blood-Bought Promises

Aware

That The Dawn Of Glory Comes

Only

After Sin's Dark Night!

Please Pity The Praying

Believing

Working

Waiting

Watching People

Who Are The Called 

The Few

The Chosen

The Enduring Faithful!

In Jesus Christ's Holy Name

I Ask These Few Petitions

As With Faith, I Pray!

AMEN.

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: O. A. R. B ... For Your Self!

The Changeable Garb Of 

The Chameleon Church
Hides The Changeless Venom Of 

The Serpent
AND
All Who Choose To Eat Of Her Ecumenical Lunch
Are Either Knowingly Disobedient

Wilfully Blind
Or
So Deceived
That They Have No Clue
Or Hunch!

There Is An Old Saying:

Keep Your Friends Close
And Your Enemies Closer!

BUT

There Is Such a Thing
As Carrying A Joke Too Far
AND
Leaving The Door Of Common-Sense Ajar!

Runaway Sense Does Not Run Back!

In The Old Days ...

Children Throwing Stones At Crapauds
Used To Be A Thing Called Fun!
Problem Though
Craupaud Wasn't Having None
For
Said Many A Mr. Crapaud
As He Laid Catspraddled
AND
Drawing His Final Breaths:

Wha' Is Fun Fuh All Uh You
Is Bare Death Fuh Po' Me!

In The Current Stream Of Things ...

Anybody That Gets Away
With Kicking You In Your Backside

- With Future Presented Opportunity - 

Is Going To

• Kick You in Your Smalls Just Because
• Pluck Out Your Wisdom Teeth Without Anesthetic Because You Know Too Much
• Gouge Out Your Eyes Because They See Too Much
• Cut Out Your Tongue Because You Talk Too Much 
• Pour Sand Into Your Belly Because You Won't Be Needing Any Further Food Storage
• Use Your Skin To Bind Their Treasured Tomes 

AND

When They've Had Enough Of Your Lack Of Cooperation
They'll Issue You A One-Way
No Refund
No Exchange
Non-Transferable Ticket
To The Rest Home For Non-Reparable
Now Useless
Aka Dead Tools!

So ... What Do We Know?

When Your Spiritual Leader
Calls The Living God A Failure
Calls A Personal Relationship With Christ Dangerous
Calls Bible-Believing Fundamentalist Christians Terrorists
Wants To Change The Christ-Outlined Lord's Prayer
Adds A Beatitude To The Bible
Gives Priests Power To Forgive Sin
Are You Not Kissing A Devil
Liking It
AND

Not Knowing It?!

Would You Know It And Not Care?!

Sometimes, I Cry ...

Can A Surely Dying Man Bend
The Eternal
The Ever-Living God To His Personal Will?!

Don't You Know That ...

World Domination
Is A Known Delusive Dream!

Physically Eating The Ever-Present God
Is An As Yet-To-Be Accomplished
Amazing Feat!

A Can't-Save-Himself Man
Binding To His Will
The All-Knowing God
Is A Fallacy Too "Delicious" To Ignore

AND

Trusting Trusting
Trusting A Bathroom Visitant
With Your Soul's Salvation
Has Got To Be An Alcohol-Induced Snore!

We Are Charged
By The All-Seeing
All-Knowing
Ever-Present
You-Can't-Hide From Me Almighty God
To

Work Out YOUR OWN SOUL'S SALVATION
With Fear And Trembling!

We Are Not Go To A Pope
A Priest
A Preacher
A Pastor
And Hand Over
Two White Chickens
AND
A Black Duck
AND
The Deed To Your Family Home

AND KNOW

Thou Shalt Be Saved!

To Do Such Is To Be Walking 

Running
Playing Footsie
With The Devil
AND
Such A One Will Never Arrive
At The Saints Of God Rest Home!

Brethren,

Trust Your Soul To No Man
Even If He Applies The Thumb Screws!
Trust Your Soul To No Man
Even If He Checkmates Your Winning Move!
Trust Your Soul To No Man

For
Your Spirit Is The Candle Of God
AND
There Is No Created Being
That Can Make You Alive
When God Marks You As Dead!

Lift Up Your Head!

There Is No Life
Emanating From A Church!
Life Is In Christ The Lord
AND
That Cannot Be Reversed!

The Liar Will Rehearse In Your Ear
A Fiction!
He Will Promise Earthly Wealth

AND
Earthly Peace
BUT THIS, MY FRIENDIs A Grand Illusion
Guaranteed
To Mark You
On Biblical Authority
As One Among Those Cast Out!

You Are
By Wilful Sin
In The Hand Of Willing Sinners
Being Fleeced!

I Beseech You

In The Name Of Christ Jesus
O. A. R. B.
Open A Real Bible
AND
For Yourself 

The Truth Read!
Please?!

HAPPY SABBATH + Team Sin!

Yield Fully
Drink Deeply
AND
Unite Closely
Are Willing Members Of
Team Sin!
They Have Given Over Themselves
- Completely -
To The Ways Of The Fraud
AND
They Supremely Enjoy

Avoiding ... Light

Ignoring ... Truth
Going ... With The Flow
Dancing ... With Danger
Running ... With Scissors
Playing ... In Traffic
AND
Dodging ... The Ball!

If  

Yield Fully
Drink Deeply
AND

Unite Closely

Are Not Constantly In
Deep Shallow Breathing Mode
You Can Be Certain That 

Theirs Has Been A Bad Day!

They Are Adrenaline Junkies
Whose Favorite Ice-Cream Is Called Vice!
Their Favorite Shoes Are Roller Blades!
Their Favorite Coats Are Bomber Jackets!
The Favorite Mammal Is A Mountain Goat!
Their Favorite Reptile Is A Diamond-Back Snake!
Their Favorite Birds Are Vultures
AND
Their "Favoritest" Speech Is The Lie!

They Are As
The Sweet-Skin Bucky
Dr. Jekyll
Mr. Hyde
Typhoid Mary
AND
A Black Widow
All Rolled Into An Imprecise Tube
Filled With Undisclosed
BUT
Suspect
Contents!

Once 

Yield Fully
Drink Deeply
AND

Unite Closely

Are On Your Scent
They Will Not Relent!

They Are Bad News

AND
Another Elite Set Of Bre'k-Down Merchants
AND
Luvvin' It!

They Speak With Forked Tongues
Walk Like Side-Winders
Spit Out Epithets Like Camels Would Sputum
Ride Rough-Shod Over Those Non-believers In Their Ways
Over-Indulge Conceit
Express Of Truth An Awful Disdain
Believe That They Have To-Be-Coveted Fame
AND
Roll
Like They Really Got Game!

Problem Is ...

They Are Hacks
Coffee Boys
Pretenders To The Throne
Yipping Puppies
Convinced 

That They Are Running With The Big Dogs
When They - In Fact -
Are Going To Get Steam-Rolled Burned!

They Have
- On A Silver Salver -
Given To Satan
Their Precious-To-Jesus Souls!

AND ...

There Ain't A Fellow To Save Them
BECAUSE
They Have Wittingly Wilfully
Joyously Arrogantly
Self-Servingly Self-Righteously
Despised
With A Capital 

DESPISED
The Free Mercy
AND
Available Grace Of Almighty God
AND
The Purchased Salvation Of The Lord Christ
AND
The Comfort Of The Holy Spirit
AND
The Ready Protection Of The Holy Angels!

Longer Story Cut Short ...

Yield Fully
Drink Deeply
AND

Unite Closely

Are In Between A Rock And A Hard Place
AND
The Devil And The Deep Blue Sea
AND
You Have Got To Know That

The Adversary Of Souls Is Doing The Usual

Aka Winning!

This Trio Of Ready Willing And Able Sinners

Is So Deluded
That They Really Believe
That The World Is Their Oyster
That Their Present Position MAKES Them
Pearls Of Great Price
That They Have Got Life By The Short Hairs
AND
That They Have The Tiger By The Tail!

Wait A Minute, Bosie!

Maisie Ain't Got A Tabby Cat Called Tiger ... Malt?!

Yes, Indeed, She Does
AND

They Have A Grease-Up Boar Pig Named Devil
That They Believe That
They Can Run Into The Ground
AND
Wrestle ... Into Submission ... At Will!

Oh, Dear!
When Will Men Learn?!

You Know?!

I Know ...
When The Same Boar Pig Flies
AND
The Sinner Inside Them Dies!

S. M. H.!

SMH?!
What's That?!

I'm Shaking My Head!

Oh.
I Shall Join You
For
These Arrogantly Foolish Fellows
Who Rabidly Insist
That There Is No God
Have Been Consigned
To Their Own Prescribed Fate
AND
They Now Belong
To The Lost Soul Crew
Which Has Members Myriad
Not Just A Few!

I Never Want To Hear:

Let Them Alone With Their Idols!

From The Lord!

This Is So Sad
That I Want To Cry
To See How Wilful Disobedience
Has Left Them No Options
But To
- At the Appointed Time -
Eternally Die ...!

... Because They Love The Lie
AND
Have Let Go Of Real Substance
To Grab For The Shadow Of A Juicy
- Not Even Meaty -
Dog Bone!

I Don't Know About You
But I Am Going Home!

Me, Too
For
With The Lord Jesus Christ
- The LORD Of Life IN Their Lives -
Faithful Believers
- Lovers Of God's Truth -
Never, Ever, Walk Alone
For
They Know Of A Surely
That FOR Their Sins
He, Innocent
Did Atone!

Yield Fully
Drink Deeply
AND

Unite Closely

Chose To Leave
The SHELTERED Sheep Fold
The Safe Zone
AND
Now
They Are On Their Own!

Sad. So, So, Sad.

I Know!

We Can't Do Anything For Them
BUT
We Can Warn Others!

Yes, Let's!

No More Brands For The Fire!

Let's Go Tell The Good News
To Prepare Others
To Achieve With 

True Worship

Faithful Work

Willing Obedience

AND

Grace-Filled Endurance

The Free-To-All Heavenly Attire!

I'm With You!

Let's Go!

I Am A Child Of The Living God!

I See The Living God
Above
Around
Beneath
Before Me!

I Feel The Living God

When I Utter
A Believing Child's Prayer!

I Touch The Living God
When In Faith
I See To The Needs Of Another

AND

Daily Communicate With Him In Prayer!

I Walk With The Living God
Because
He Is To My Heart
My Soul
My Mind
My Being
Wonderfully Gloriously Dear!

I Live For The Living God

For He Is My All And All

My Creator

My Sustainer 

My Provider

My Salvation 

My Peace

My Rest

My Way

My Light

My Redemption

My Beginning

AND

My End!

I Taste Daily Of The Living God

In His Eternal Living Word

Which Is Food And Life

AND

A Delight To My Soul

AND

Not Empty Fillers As Sugared Candy

Necessary To The Sinful Bold!

I Bless The Living God

Because

I Am A Daily Recipient Of

His Matchless Grace 

AND

Free Mercy

AND ALSO BECAUSE

Without Him To Be My Guide

I Would Be Fit And Tied Prey

For The One Who Did To Eve Lie!

Bottom Line ...

I Am A Child Of The Living God

The King Eternal

AND

The Lord Of Glory

AND

I Believe

Trust 

Hope In

Worship

Honor

Wait For

AND 

Obey Him

Because I Love The Living God

AND

I Hold Him In Godly Fear!

What Say YOU?!

PRAYER: Father, Here's My Secret ...!

Heavenly Father,

I See And Acknowledge

My Need

And

As A Child And A Servant

I Yield To Thy Will!

Here Is My Secret! 

Please Take Away My Sin

For

In The Faith Of Christ Jesus

I Give It

For A Fat-Offering!

I Tried So Hard To Keep It Covered

But

Secret Sin Is Besetting Me

Taking Up Precious Room

In My Character

That Would Be For My Lord's Using!

Lord, 

I Am Broken! 

My Heart Is Contrite! 

Remove From Me

Desire

To Natural Sinning

And

Bless Me With The Will

To Chose

To Do Right!

This Child Is Reaching For You! 

This Servant Is Bowing Before You

And 

This Heart Is Longing For You

Because I Desire Life Everlasting

In Paradise Beside You!

Lord, 

Please Keep Me Humble

And

Increase My Faith

Sending Doubt Packing - 

I Accept Your Mercy And Your Grace!

Please Remember The Brethren

Those Near And Those Far

And

Protect Them From The Lying Wonder

Whose Deceptions Are Afoot

Leaving Minds And Bodies Scarred!

Lord,

Lift Us Up

So That We May Lift Up

The Holy And Worthy One

In Whose Matchless Name We Plead

Jesus Christ The Lord!

I Love You

And

Will

Your Blessed Word To Obey! 

AMEN.
