Not To Commit The Sins Of Omission

Where We Neglect

To Do The Thing Just

Good And Right

Forgetting Our Fellowman

And

Ignoring The Fallen Brethren's Plight!

Help Us To Be Like Our Master Christ Jesus

Who Clearly Marked For Us A Way

And

Help Us To Walk Right In It

So That We Don't

For Our Sins

Have To Pay!

Teach Us Your Way, Lord

And

Help Us To Live Faithfully In It

Ignoring The Calls Of The Flesh

So That We Don't Give In To It!

Bless Us WIth Your Joy

Your Peace

Your Rest

And

Let Hope Spring Eternal In Our Hearts

Until The Great Day Of Rejoicing Comes

And

We For Highest Heaven

Joyfully Depart!

In Jesus Christ's Holy Name

We Pray And Humbly Plead!

We Love You, Lord!

Have Mercy And Bless!

AMEN.

Which IS ... Is The Real True Living Eternal Holy God Of Creation?!

God IS!
Satan IS!
The Great Question IS
Which IS Is Holy Faithful True
AND
Which IS Isn't!?!

One IS Gives And Takes And Gives, Again!
One IS Takes And Takes And Takes, Again!
The Great Question IS
Which IS Will You Trust!?!
Will You Trust The IS That Gives And Gives, Again
OR
The IS That Takes And Takes, Again!

One IS Is The Under-Taker!
One IS Is The Undertaker!
One IS Undertakes To Excavate A Sinner From Under Sin
While The Other IS Undertakes To Extricate
The Sinner From The Grace That He Is Under!
The Great Question Is
Which IS Will You Live Under!?!

If The Holy God Is The IS
That Is Your Master
Then
You Are His Slave! 

If Satan The Fraud Is The IS
That Is Your Master
Then
You Are His Slave!

Can Your IS Save You
From Death And The Grave
Hell And Damnation!?

Can Your IS Create For You A New Life
Where Your Soul Is Free
From Sorrow Pain And Strife
From Sickness Suffering Shame And Disgrace
While
Giving You Peace And Perpetual Rest
AND
A Permanent Place In The Paradise
Accessed Only By Faith
Trust Obedience Willing Worship
AND

Uncoerced Love?!

Does Your IS Live To Make Intercession
For The Personal You?!

Okay. Okay!

I'm Hearing You

But You Need To Back It Up A Bit!
Tell Me More About The Gives Takes Gives, IS!

The Eternal God
Gives ... Life ... For You To Start Living!
Takes ... Sin ... When Under His Banner You Start Living!
Gives ... Immortal Life ...  And Eternity 

To Those Working Waiting Watching Faithful
Who By Enduring All Things
In His Name
AND
For Love
Have Gotten Victory Over Sin!

So What Does The IS That Takes Takes Takes, Do?!

That Other IS Takes You

Your Faith Trust
AND

Your Life Into Willful Sin
Takes Your Very Life After He Encourages You To Willfully Sin
Takes Your Present Opportunity For Salvation
AND
Your Hope For Eternal Life

AND
Takes You On A One-Way Ride To Damnation
No Hope Of Recovery!

Impossible!

Not Only Possible But, Unfortunately, True!

He'll Give You A Few Shiny Things
A Few Big And Posh Things
A Solidly Hollow Bank Roll
And, Then
He'll Roll Up The Welcome Carpet
As He, Before The Living God
Claims The Right To Your Purchased By Christ
Rented By The Devil, Soul! 

That, My Friend, Is His Only Goal!

One IS Loves Man!
One IS Hates The IS That Loves Man!
One IS Hates The Man That The Other IS Loves!
One IS Sacrificially Protects Man!
One IS Sacrifices Man!

One IS Is The All Seeing
All Knowing
All Feeling
Ever Present
Creator Sustainer 

Redeeming Almighty God!

One IS 

IS

The Liar
The Murderer
The Serpent The Snake
The Deceiver
The Adversary Of Souls
The Fraud
Who Desires That Man Worship Him
As Man Worships The Living Holy God!

He Is The Snake!

A God-Fake!

I Don't Like That Second IS!

It Is Good That You Say That

For

That Second IS ... Satan

Is Always On The Attack!

He Lives To Destroy!

To Hurt

To Kill

AND

He Has No Qualms About Destroying Humans

For

With Hatred Of Mankind

His Stomach Is Substantially Filled!

Fair Warning ...

Satan Was Created

Perfect

Until Iniquity Via Self-Love Was Found In Him!

His Pride And Beauty

Caused Him Against The Holy God To Plot!

Even Christ The Lord

He Did Kill!

Man Is Made A Little Lower Than Angels

AND

Man Is Not Match For The Rogue

The Fallen Angel Bold

So

I Beseech You, Brethren

Do Not Choose To Converse

Commune

Conduct 

Negotiations With The Fraud

Because

You Are The Purchased Property Of

The Holy God

Who Blesses Us One And All!

So ... What's Left?!

Reach Out To Jesus Christ The Lord

Who Is Waiting ... Eagerly

To Answer Your By-Faith Call!

Do Not With Satan Play Dodge Ball!

Because, Because

You Will Inevitably Fall!

Heed The Salvation Call Of Christ

Who, For Love

Paid Your Bride Price!

The Shield Of Eternal Truth

It Is Written ...!
Is The Shield Of Eternal Truth
AND
All Who Will To Stand Firm
In The Faith Of Jesus Christ The Lord
Must Intimately Know
What Says The Word Of The Holy God!

Lucifer
The Choir Director In Heaven
The Light Bearer
N/k/a/ Satan Intimately Knows The Word Of Truth
Having Been Taught Same
In The Throne Room Of Almighty God
As A Covering Cherub
In Power
Under The Lord Christ!

He Was Expelled
From Beholding The Eternal God's Majesty
Because
He Wanted Things Added To His Soul
That Were Neither Possible
Nor Right!

He Wanted The Father's Son's Worship

His Own Soul To Delight!

You Must Know That ...

The Shield Of Eternal Truth
Is Impermeable 
Cannot Be Bent By Created Being
Nor Will It Be By Its Creator 
For He Is Not Fickle
Nor
Can It Be Rent From The Hand Of Faith 
For Faith Conquers The World
Nor
Can It Be Buried
For It Glows
With Heavenly Light
That Darkness Cannot Assuage
AND
All Those Bear It
Will Firm Stand
For The Lord Christ Is Maker
AND
They Will Be Victorious In Christ Jesus
Even If Carried By The Brethren Numbered Six
From The House Of The Undertaker!

Jesus Christ 

IS 

Lord And Eternal God!
Satan Is The Liar
AND
The Soon-To-Be Permanently Terminated Fraud
So
Let No Created Being Fool You!
There Is Not Going To Be An Immortal Sinner
So Lay Claim To Your By-Faith-Reserved Seat
At The Banquet Table Of The Lord
For
Soon Comes The Saints Welcome Home Dinner!
Don't Forget!
They Won't Be Any Sinners!

By The Eternal God's Great Grace
Challenge Yourself To ...

Stand In Jesus Christ's Faith!
Die In Truth

AND
Rise In The Risen Lamb's Eternal Glory
When You Stand In The Light Of
The Old Ever New Always Relevant
Good News
Gospel Story
That Shield Of Eternal Truth
Which Is The Best Food For All
All Who Are The Children
The Known Descendants Of Those Who
To Satan's Sophistries
In The Beginning
Did Fatally Fall!

Upon The Name

Of

The Lord Jesus Christ

Eternal God

Almighty

Faithful

Merciful

Gracious

Just And True

Wise And Loving

Giving And Forgiving

Blessing And Justifying

Sanctifying

AND

Very Soon ... Glorifying

Humbly, Fervently, Faithfully

Unweariedly

Call!!

He Welcomes One And All!

He Cures All Who Believing, Call!

JESUS CHRIST: Was Doing, Did, Is Doing And Will Do!

Jesus Christ Is The Word Of God
Incarnate In The Realm Of Man!
Jesus Christ Was The Innocent Lamb
Unblemished In The Sight of Father God
The Atonement For Fallen Man!

Jesus Christ Came To Earth
AND
The Perfect Example Was He! 
He Taught Men The Way! 
He Healed Them Everywhichway! 
He Fed Them! 
He Demonstrated Not With Sin To Play
AND
He Gave His Disciples
A Template Of How Men Should Pray!

Jesus Christ Showed
How With Persecution To Interact! 
Jesus Christ Showed How With Betrayal To Act! 
Jesus Christ Gave A Way
To Keep Him In Memory
AND
Jesus Christ Died
Uncomplaining
Unafraid
To Fulfill History In Advance
Aka
Bible Prophecy!

Jesus Christ Arose!
Yes!
He Got Up From The Dead
AND
He Returned To His Father In Heaven
No More To Take The Brunt Of The Pharisee Leaven
AND
He Is At The Right Hand Of
The Father
AND
Is Making Personal Intercession
For You And For Me
AND
Will Come To Earth Again
To Take Home With Him
All Who Trusted
Loved And Worshiped
Honored And Obeyed
Accepted The Forgiveness Offered
AND
Confessed And Repented Of Known Sin
AND
By Faith Walked And Worked
Enduring ALL Things
Telling
The Good News
The Gospel Story!

Nobody But Jesus
Can Plead His Blood
For The Life Of Sinful Man!
Nobody By Jesus
Is The Mediator For Fallen Man!
Nobody But Jesus
Is Preparing For Man
A Heavenly Place
AND
Nobody But Jesus
Is Now
In Heaven's Most Holy Place
Pleading With His Father
- Our Father -
Saying:

Father,

This Is My Blood!

I Took Their Place

And

I Want Them To Be With Me

To Share With Me

In Your Presence

This Heaven

This Holy And Undefiled

Glorious Place!

Let's Not Make His Sacrifice For Us
A Lost Cause Case!

Tell Satan To Take Himself
To His Known Known-Damned Place!
Don't Be Like Him
A Failure
A Known Disgrace!
For The Win ... Run
I Beseech You
The Salvation Race!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Look To Your Ways! + PRAYER: Lord, Nourish Our Parched Souls!

Almighty God Says ... Plainly
That He Cannot Forget Us
So, Obviously
He Can't
- He Won't -
Ignore Us!
Hence The Injunction:

Look To Your Ways!

It's Interesting That You Say That
Because
I Remember The Old Days
When Someone Did Something
Seriously Stupid Reckless Careless
Willful
You Would Hear Somebody Say
- And We Picked Up The Habit -

"I Would Really Beg The Lord For Five Minutes 

To Wash Out My Mouth On You

To Damage You

To Tell You Bad Things

To Rearrange Your Face And Your Insides

And
Then Wash My Hands ...!"

... I Remember Those Days Very Well!

It Was A Riot
Especially When Someone Was Considered A Big Christian
And Behaved In An Unseemly Manner
When They Thought They Had "The Five Minutes!"

We Were Really Foolish!!

The Pen Of Truth Shall Record
All That You Do
For The Lord
- For The Fraud -
So Do Not Be Foolish!
You Cannot Rewrite Almighty God's To Do
- Not To Do -
List!
At The End There Is 
- For All -
The Earned
- Sure To Be Paid -
Reward!

I Like It!
I Like It!

I Was Praying
And I Said To The Lord:

If You Ignore Us, We Die! 

If You Bless Us, We Live!

And Then I Stopped Praying
For I Noted What It Was
That I Was Actually Saying!

Indeed!
And Look At What You Were Juxtaposing!

Almighty God's Ignoring Us ... An Impossibility
- For He Will Never Permit Us
To Be Perpetually Willful And Disobedient -
AND
Almighty God's Blessing!

I Remember, Again
When I Was A Child
AND
Being Hard-Ears!
I Would Hear My Grand'other
Or Even My Mudda, Say:

With "That" Voice
Which Says That They Are Going 
To Murder Your Backside With Lashes
If You Do That Ignorance
One. More. Time.

AND
I Quote:

"I Gine Ignore You!"

Hahaha! Wha' Loss!

Girl, The Memories!

I Remember Those Day Very, Very, Well ...!

... I Well Remember The Many Warm Backsides 

I Got For Disobedience!

So Much For Being "Ignored!"

Yup! The Precursor To Punishment!

Makes You Think Of Ephraim!

Huh?!

Jacob-Israel's Son Out Of Joseph ... One Of The Half-Tribes Of Israel!

Oh! Ohhh ...

... Indeed.

Leave Him Alone!

I Never Want To Hear Those Words
From The Lord!

That Would Be Sealing Your Doom
Because ... Obviously
You Know More Than Your Maker
Jesus Christ The Lord
AND
That's Why You're Touching Hands
At Supper With Satan
AND
Not Partaking With A Long Spoon!

You Shouldn't Even Be In Close Proximity To Satan!

I Hear THAT!

Folly Is Not A Friend
AND
Friends Of Almighty God Are Not Foolish!
Sweet Peppers Are Not Hot
AND
Wise Men Don't Act Ghoulish!

Truth, My Brother! Truth!

As Long As Almighty God Chastises Us
We Are Children!
When The Chastisement Stops ...!

... You're Become A Bastard Child! 

You Can Do What You Like

But

Not As Long As You Like

For Time Is A Clock

With A 3,6,9

And

A 12 o'clock STOP!

You'll Never See The End Coming!

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

Lord,

Please Help Us

Before We Perish!

Our Parched Souls

By Your Free Mercy

Please, Please, Nourish!

Life Is Hard

When We From You Walk Alone

Depriving Ourselves

Of

The Full Salvation

That

Jesus Christ The Righteous

For Us

Completely Purchased!

Forgive Us Our Sin

For

We Repent!

Teach Us Your Ways!

Lift Us Up When We Fall!

Bless Us With Hearing Ears, Always

So That We May Heed All

In The Gospel Call!

In Jesus Christ's Holy Name

We Humbly Prayer

And

Believing, Plead!

We Love You, Lord!

AMEN.

HAPPY SABBATH: Sin Is ... As Satan Does ... Is Sin! + PRAYER: Lord, Please Draw Us Ever Near!

We Were To Complete The Statement
So I Wrote:

Living In Sin
Willfully Living In Sin
Is Like ...

Living In A House
Made Of Plastic
With No Operating Windows
No Outward Swinging Unbarred Doors
AND
Festooned With Billowy Rayon Drapes
Next To Your Constantly Burning
Raging
Wood Fire ... No Available Screen
That You Are Constantly Tending
Constantly Turning
Constantly Adding
Gasoline-Drenched Logs To
Even As You Vociferously Complain
About The Stench Of Burning Melting Plastic
AND
The Oppressive Heat
In An Unventilated Space
While Waxing Elegant About
How Pretty
How Commodious
How Cheap
Are The Accommodations
AND
How Amenably Accommodating
IS
The Onsite Property Manager

Cum Realtor-Landlord-Decorator-Builder-Architect-Designer-Banker

AND

Maintenance Man!

Maaaaan, That Setup Is Too Egregiously Stupid
To Be A Lie!

You Ain't Lying
'Cause To Be In That House Willingly
You've Got To Know
That You're A Walking Dead, Obviously!

Let's Get Real Here
With First Things First! 
Where's The Head!
What's In That Head ... Heart?!

Good Question!
Sin Is Unsavory
AND
Willful Sin Resides In The Heart
That Is Toward Christ Jesus
Dead!
Stone Cold Dead!

The Soul Is Not Being Fed
AND
The Flesh Is Being Led!

We Could Spend The Rest Of The Day
Picking Apart
All That Is Wrong With And In
And Around Those Lodgings
And We'd Never Reach The End
Because Of The Conflicts
AND
The Convolutions!

All I'm Going To Say
IS
Satan Is In The Middle!
Satan Wrote That Song!

I'm With You On That!

Plastic Doesn't Breathe
Barred Doors
Non-Working Windows ...!?!

... Forget That!
I Want To Know What Is The Air
That Is Keeping That Fire Burning?!

Who Says It Keeps Burning On Its Own?!

Didn't You Also Hear Told Of

Constantly Adding Gasolene Drenched Logs On It?!

Oxygen Is Coming From Some Place!

True! True!

AND

I Want To Know Why Anybody
In Their Right Mind
Would Trust
One Person
Who Will Never Be Faithful To Any Other ...!

... Save Himself?!

If We Follow The Money

You Know Who Is Calling The Shots!

If You Follow The Sinner

To His Sin

You'll Know Who Is In Control Of The Sinner

Who Is Causing Him To Go Wayward Walking!!

Let's Bottom Line It:

Willful Sin Is Selfishness!
Willful Waywardness Is Foolishness!
Daily Grace And Daily Faith
Are Gifts Of The Holy God
AND
Any Instigation To Sin
IS
From Satan, The Known Wily Fraud!

AMEN!!!

You Know
I Used To Be A Rabid Sinner
And If Sin Is As Described By Kerry
We Really Were Very, Very, Very, Foolish!

I Hear That!

I Concur!

Let's Thank God, Brethren
For Daily Grace And Faith!

Witness!!

I Need To Hear That Scenario ... Again!

PRAYER:

Heavenly Father,

Hear Our Prayer!

Protect Us, Lord!

We Love You!

Please Draw Us Ever Near!

Help Us, Lord

Not Be Immersed In Self

And

Bless Us To Ever Do Your Bidding

Even Though We Reside

In Sinful Flesh!

Help Us To Walk Aright

Be It Evening, Morning

Noon Or Night

And

Help Us For Our Brethren To Care

By Telling Them The Truth

That Sin

Has Not A Human Care

Nor Godly Fear!

Grant Grace

And Peace

And Rest

And

Bless Us To Make Our Pilgrimage

A Grace-Filled Success!

Order Our Steps

And

Please Mark Our Way

So That In The Great Day

We Shall Not From Your Glorious Coming

Try To Hide Away!

In Jesus Christ's Name

We Pray And Humbly Plead!

Lead Us, Lord!

Lead Us!

We Trust You In Need And Indeed!

AMEN.

PRAYER: I Will Follow You, My Savior!

Father,

I Desire To Know Your Power!

Please Help Me To Trust In All Ways!

Help Me To Believe Without Faith Wavering!

Help Me To Stand Up Against Those Who Say, "Nay!"

I See Your Hand Of Mercy!

I See Your Heart Of Love!

I Feel Your Living Presence

So, Please

Draw Me Nearer

So That I By Right

May Enter The Gates Of The Holy City Above!

I Trust You, Lord

Help Me To Follow You!

I Love You, Lord

Help Me To Obey You!

I Believe You, Lord

Help Me To Worship You

In Spirit And In Blessed Trust

Because

It Is My Heart's Desire

To Hold Constant Communion With You!

I Will Follow You, My Savior!

Though The Road Through Life Is Hard

Though The Journey Is Oft Treacherous

Though Present Rewards Are By Doubting Men

Called Veritable Playing Cards

I Choose You

My Lord, My Savior, My God

So

Please Bless Me

With The Grace Card!

In Jesus Christ's Holy Name

I Pray And Humbly PLead!

I Love You, Lord!

AMEN.
