Bound For Glory: In Rebellion!?!

Rebellion Against Almighty God

Is

A Razor-Blade

A Deceitful Bow

A Loose Stopper In A Drain

An Unproductive Birth

A Cloud Without Rain

Skunk-Works

The Perfume ... PROFANE!!

Thank You, Lord
For The Blessing
Living
Giving Word
That Even Though It Has Taken
And Is Taking A Fair Beating
From The Illuminated
And Worldly-Wise Minds Among Us
It Is Still Giving True Light
And
Continually Amiably Gloriously Blesses
All Who Choose To Believe The Truth So Generously
Mercifully
Lovingly Provided
And
All Who Will
The Name Of The Holy Jesus
Humbly Confess
And
On The Promises Of Almighty God
Grounded
Firmly Stand!
AMEN!!!

Brethren,
In The Economy Of God
Rebellion Is The Forbidden Fruit
And
Anyone Who Has "Enjoyed" The Fruit
Of The Forbidden Fruit
Is Not
From That Rebellion
Just Going To Walk Away!!
Exhibit Zero ... Satan!

Rebellion Is A Fruit
That Lays Gilded Eggs
Which
When Cracked
Hatch
Lice, Ticks, Flies And Fleas
Which Carry
Air-Borne
Blood-Borne
Water-Borne
Ear-And-Eye-Filtered
Deadly Disease!
Exhibit 1 ... Eve!

Rebellion Is Sin!
Lucifer's Sin Had No Cause!

The Cause Of Sin In Man, Today
Is
Self
With All Of Its Attendant Flaws!

Lucifer Had No Flaws!
But, But And BUT
Unto HIMSELF
... Because Of His Beauty ...
He CHOSE
- Willfully Chose -
To Be The Law
AND
In His Determined Fit Of Willfulness
He Decided To Make Better
Aka Nullify
The Eternal God's Laws!

The Law Of Almighty God
IS
As Almighty God, Himself
Immutable
Settled In Heaven
AND
In The Throne Of God
Sealed
AND
All Who
Like Satan F/K/A Lucifer
Choose
Independent Self
Over Loving Service
Will Experience The Holy God's Wrath
For
In The Kingdom Renewed
There Will Be None Of Their Ilk
For, There, Such
Will Never Reside
For
For Such
The Kingdom Will Never Have A Purpose!

Listen To Me ...

Truth And Error Don't Collude!
They Collide!

Almighty God Does Not Share His Glory

AND

For Certain Sure

He Does Not In A Cast-Out

Damned For Eternity

Fallen Angel

Confide!

The Cure For Rebellion ...

Beloved,

I Beseech You!

Please Keep Your Eye On The Prize:

Christ Jesus For Joy!

Please See To It That

You Serve The Holy God With Love
For Love
With Complete Devotion
AND
Please, Forswear Self! 

Please, Please, Please Don't Butter Self
With Own-Way Lotion!
That Boat Is In On A Sea
That Has No Forward
No Upward
Locomotion!

Truth ...

Brethren,

Be Ye Wise Unto Salvation!

AND CONSIDER THAT

If The Living God IS A Liar

Then Self-Service Is The Truth

BUT

If The Destroyer Satan Is The Liar
Please See That
You Practice Obedience To The Eternal God
AND
Start Your Career Of Obedience
Now
Even If You Are Just A Stripling Youth!

Remember ...

Don't Forget That

Those Who Practice Rebellion
Never Practice Alone!
They Promise What They Can't Deliver!
Please Know That For Self
Self-Love Is The Lode Stone!

Understand That ...

To A Rebel
All Who Join Him
Are Disposable
Dispensable
Fodder
For Death's Gun
AND
All Who Follow The Arch-Rebel

Will
Of Almighty God's Perfect Peace
Know None!

Pride And Covetousness
Led To Lucifer's Sin!

Rebellion
Refusal To Accept
The Light Of Truth
Turned Lucifer
The Light-Bearer
Into Satan
The Adversary
The Accuser Of The Brethren
Man's Worst Nightmare
The Cause Of Calamity
Grief Sorrow Shame Death
AND
Every Known-To-Man Woe!

I Plead With You, Brethren!
Please Do Not Follow Satan Into Rebellion
For
To The Lake Of Fire

Prepared For The Damned One
- No Question -
You Shall Surely Go!

What God Gives Into Our Hands
IS
Ours To Know! 

What God Has Kept To Himself
No Created Being
Shall Ever Know
AND
Any
Who Like Lucifer
Think
That God Should Accept Them
Into His Counsels
Should Know
Recognize
Understand
Accept
That
You Are A Creature
A Servant
A Child
AND
"Take Your Place!"
Else
Your Fit Of Pique
Shall See ... Out Of Your Hot Hand
All Your Purchased-By-Blood, Blessings
Quickly, Quickly, Leak!

Let's All Put Rebellion On Blast
AND
Self
In A Jesus' Spilt Blood Cast!

It's Time For Us
From Sin
To Go On A Permanent Fast!

Indeed, We Must
IF
In Jesus Christ
AND
The Father
AND
The Holy Angels' Glory
It Is Our Renewed Heart's Desire
To Joyfully Bask!

Brethren, 

Are YOU Up To The Task!?!

Are You Ready

By The Holy Spirit's Blessed Leading

Self

To Unmask!?!

LOVE: Provided!

I Wonder How Many Of Us Realize
That With Almighty God
Love Is ... Provided!?!

That's A Strange Bit Of Wonderment
AND
A Very Strange Turn Of Phrase!

Not To Me!

Picture It ...

Man! 

Lost!
Lonely!
Never Alone!
Looking For Love ...!

... In All The Wrong Places!

What's Wrong With That!?!
That's A Right Of Passage
And One Of The Choicest Parts Of
The Game Of Life!

Error! Error! Folly!
Life Is Not A Game!
Life Does Not Have PARTS!
Life Is Not A Club Clique Nor Association!

Come On, Guys!
Don't You Realize That This Is 

Just Another Feint Of The Devil!

The Only Right
Which Is Actually A Privilege
A Gift Of Love ... Provided
That Man Has Received
IS THAT
Instead Of Paying For Your Own Sin
AND
Dying Dead Dead
ISTo Accept The Love ... Provided
AND
Pass From Sinner To Saved ... Saint!

Here's A Left-Field Lob ... 

Every Single Ceremony On Earth
Is 
A Corruption Of Some Ceremony In Heaven!

Hold Up, Bub!
Don't You Think That's Kinda ... Strong?!

No, I Don't!

The Satanist's Creed Is
As Above, So Below!

In Heaven
You Wear A Gold Crown!
Since That Is Not, Well, Practical
Permissible
Or Likely To Be Tolerated On Earth
By Those Who Are The Celebrated

Idolized 

Worshipped 

"Kings And Queens"
ENTER
The Wedding Ring
The Bracelet
The Belt!

That's Deep!

It Goes DeepER!

Truth ... Provided
IS
Followed By Lies!

Love ... Provided
IS
Followed By Lust!

Grace ... Provided
IS
Followed By Favoritism!

Pray Tell Me

If You Please

How Does One Go From Grace To Favoritism?!

Easy!
What IS Grace?!

The Gift Of God

Aka Almighty God's Unmerited Faaa...VOR!!

Lord, Help Us!
From Favor ...!

... To Favoritism!!

Wow!
One Of The Deadlies!

Huh?!

Materialism Capitalism
Ecumenism Egoism
Mesmerism Fanaticism
Sadism!

Okay! Truism.

Indeed!

Here's One More For The Road ... 

Look At Life!

I'm Looking But I Don't Know What I'm Gleaning!

Look At Jesus Christ

In Whom IS Life

AND

You Will Clearly See That

LOVE

IS

FREE

ETERNALLY! 

Drop De Mike, Archie!!

Drop De Miiike!!! 

I Wish I Could, Sailor!

I Wish I Could! 

LIFE: The Savor Of Grace!

Arthur Itis
Tin Itis
Tendon Itis
I. Ritis
And Another Few Own-Way Members Of 

The Inflammation Clan
Were Visiting Chris Tian!

They Are A Hard-Ears
Pain-Inducing
Blind-Siding
Know-It-All Bunch
Who Know ... Really Know
How To Put The Screws To A Fellow
AND
In The Case Of Chris Tian
They Seemed To Have Loooong Screws
With Wiiiide Threads!

They Arrived At His Domiciliary Edifice
ARMEDWith Blunt Screw-Drivers
AND
Bare Bear Attitude!

Against Them
Chris Tian Didn't Stand A Snowball's Chance
In Ayche Two-Sticks!

... Or So Thought They!!

Chris Tian Is A God-Fearing
Praying
Loving
Psalm And Hymn-Singing
Bible-Reading
Walking-With-Jesus
I'm-Going-To-Heaven
Don't-Detain-Me Christian

AND

Against His Willing Working
Believing Trusting
Obeying The Holy Spirit
Spirit
THEY 

Didn't Have A Chance!

It Was a Battle Royale!
It Is Likened Unto
A Speeding Train
Against An Immovable Object!

It Is A Blow-Out!

They Poked Him Here!
They Pricked Him There!
They Punched Prodded Pushed
AND
Pranced Over Him
EveryWhichWay
AND YETHe Faithfully Sings Songs And Hymns Of 

Overcoming Faith

AND
Perpetually
Persistently
In Peace
With Love For God
Prays!

He Is Still Praying!

The Worse They Do
The More He Wraps Himself
In The Living Word
AND
The Quieter His Spirit Becomes!

His Spirit 

IS 

Quiet In The Lord!

They Never Stop Harassing

AND

Vexing Him
BUT
They Are Never Able To
Steal. His. Peace!

Brethren,In Jesus Christ's Faith
There Is Relief And Release!

No Matter The Provocation
Your Pain
Your Sorrow
Your Guilt
Your Sin
Let Neither Your Treaty With
Nor Your Entreaty To
The Almighty God
In The Name Of Jesus Christ
Cease!

Knowing Jesus Christ 

IS 

Our Known
AND
Only
Peace
Even If Among Sinners
We Are Considered Chief!

I Beseech You ...

Please Do Not Give In To Satan
That Known Wily Salvation Thief!

Jesus Christ Paid Our Price!
Be Ye The Earthly Most
Or
Amongst Men The Least
Of Jesus Christ's Salvation
There Is For You
A Complete Piece!

Accept With Alacrity

Jesus Christ's Free-To-All

Peace!!

There Is No Begging!

No Bartering!

No Lease!

And, Praise God Almighty

You Don't Have To Act The Thief!

Father, I Come!

Will See It To You

Released!

Thank God For Free Grace To Savor!

The Gift Of God!

Simply Put

My God!
Your Need!
His Riches!

MY God!
YOUR Need!
HIS Riches!

My God ... Will Supply
Your Need ... According To
HIS RICHES!

So, What IS YOUR Point!?!

Simple!
Since MY GOD
Gracious
Full Of Compassion
Slow To Anger
AND
Plenteous In Mercy
IS
Supplying YOUR NEEDS
AND
YOU Are Enjoying
Having Your Needs Supplied ...!

... I AM Enjoying The Supply Immensely!

... Don't YOU Think It Is Time
That MY GOD
Become
YOUR GOD!?!

Wellll ... Ahhhh ... Ummm ...!

All Righty, Then!
Struck Dumb!

Obviously Blind!

I Know He Ain't Stupid, So ...!?!

Who Cures What Ails Us?!

The Great Physician!
The Loving Shepherd Of The Sheep!
The Lord Who Made Heaven And Earth! 
God ... Who Is Our Refuge And Strength!

Who Died To Save Us!

Jesus Christ The Righteous!
The Lord Most High!
The Man Of Sorrow Acquainted With Grief!
The Lamb Of God Who Takes Away The Sin Of The World!

Who Is Jesus!

Even I Know That!

Textbook Jesus Is

My Beginning
My Lord
My Light
My Salvation
My Rock
My Reward
My Hope
My Help
My Way
My Truth
My Life
My End

But, Uhhh ... Do I Have To ... You Know ...
Do The Big "C"!?!

If By Do The Big "C"
You Mean
Call On Jesus
Confess Your Sinsss
Commit To His Way
Cast Away Sinning, Self And Satan
Cast Your Every Care On Christ
Cast Out All Your Idols
Convert To The Way To Eternal Life
Call For The Holy Spirit
Climb The Mountain To God
Carry Jesus With You Everywhere ...!

... That's A Tall, Tall, Order!

We've Got For Ourselves
The Omnipotent
Omniscient
Omnipresent
Omnipathic
Eternal God!

Omnipathic?!

Yup!
Our God, Living

Feels Everything!

Our God, Holy

Is Touched By The Feelings Of Our Infirmities
Our Joys
Sorrows Woes
Wants Hurts
Hopes
Losses Gains
Our Sins
Our Salvation
Our Separation From Him
Our Unity With Him!

We Are Nothing Without Jesus Christ The Lord!

We Need To Wait On The Lord
And He Will Renew Our Strength!

Why?!

We Love The Lord
AND
We Keep His Law
His Commandments
Not To Be Saved
But Because We Are Saved ...!

... Through Faith! 

The Gift Of Faith!

He Has Also Us Another Wonderful Gift!
The Eternal Word Says:

... I Could Really Do With Some Peace Right About Now!

I Haven't A Peaceful Night's Rest
In The Last Two Weeks!

Jesus Christ 

IS 

Our Peace
AND
With It 

We Rest In Him!

I Thought That Was Just A Cliche!

Nah, Man!

It Says In The Living Word :

Come
All Ye That Labor
AND
Are Heavy Laden
AND
I, Jesus
Will Give You, Eliashib
Rest
Unto Your Soul!

It's Guaranteed!

You're Sure About That?!

Dead Sure!

Huh?!

Jesus Shed His Innocent Blood
So That You ... Me, Too
Guilty As Sin
Can Find Peace And Rest
Forgiveness And Restoration
Hope And Help
Faith And Grace
Mercy And Love
Healing And Salvation
AND
Blessing
When You Trust And Obey
His Word!

I Have Always Had A Problem
With This Trust And Obey Thing!
And This Love Thing ... Huh!

Brother,
There Is No Disappointment In Jesus!
His Love Is Way Beyond Compare!
He Speaks Truth Unvarnished
And All May Trust Him At His Word
Be Ye Man Woman
Elder Or Youth!

Jesus Christ Even Offers The Invitation
For Us To
Reason With Him!

But, But, If He's Willing To Reason With Me
That Must Mean He Is Actually Willing To Hear My Side!!

There's No Need To Sound So Shocked! 

Great Is His Faithfulness!
The Holy God Is Not Variable In His Word
AND
Best Of All
His Mercies Upon Us
Are New Every Day!

Thank You!
You Guys Really Make Almighty God

Jesus Christ 

Sound 

Even Seeem

Like A Real Person
Approachable
And Not Some Unreachable
Unconcerned
Unapproachable Colossus
Who Is Always Angry And Easily Offended!

All I'm Going To Say To You, Is

Call On Him
AND
He Will Show You Great And Mighty Things
That You Know Absolutely Nothing About!

I Totally Believe That I Will!

I Truly Feel Blessed!

Thank You For Sharing!

Thank YOU For Listening!

Thank God For Grace! ...

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Saving Grace!

I Don't Want To Be A Man Smart ... And Abused!
I Desire To Be A Man By Almighty God Blessed
AND
In His Service
Used!
Can't You SEE the Difference!

Sure, I Can!
I SEE That You're An Idiot!
Who Cares About Being "Abused"
When One Is Getting Rich, Rich, Rich!?!

Fellows, I Get The Impression That
You Two Are Speaking About Different Things!

Indeed, We Are!

I, Samuel Petty Cash Steele, Want To Be Rich ... Now!
I Work Hard ... Now!
I Live ... Now!
AND, FURTHERMORE
I Ain't Got No Tomorrow Put Down
Like Certain Unnamed People!

Hear, Hear!
I'm With You!

Well ... Since You're So Emphatic
I, Garrulous Field Saint Saved
Desire With My Whole Heart
To Be Rich IN Christ Jesus!

Momentary Temporal Riches
Will Be Lost, Stolen
AND
Will Eventually Burn!

I Can Totally Do Without That Heat
AND
I Will
Because Jesus Christ Is My Shield!

Preach, Brother! Preach!

Yada, Yada! Garrie Got An Upstairs Father!

You May Scoff All You Want!
The Truth Is The Truth!
I Learned It At My Mother's Knee
AND
It Has Stayed Me!

I Choose
I Chose
To Experience Jesus Christ For Myself
AND
I Know Of A Surety
That He Is No Xmas Elf!

Anyone Feel A Sermon Coming On?!

Yes, I Do And I'm Glad For It!

Say On, Saint!

My Mum Taught Me About Jesus
But, Then
I Ran Around With The Hip Crowd
AND, SOONI Was In Soul Trouble
For
Of My Press I Was Very Proud
Until ...!

... One Day!

Yup!
One Fateful Day!

We Know!
The Date With Destiny!
Your Mortality Showed That
Your Lived Life Was A Bold Lie!

You Telling Me!!

Been There! Done That!
Got The Experience
The Scars
The Tee Shirt
AND
The Story To Tell To The Nation!

Heyyyy!
What's With You Christians?!
Do You All Always Have A Story To Tell
About Your Jesus
About Your Life
Your Salvation
Your Hope
The Truth For The Ages
Your Blessings
Your Peace
Your "Glorious" Heavenly Home
Your Joy In Jesus!?!

All Together Now ...

YESSS!!!

Wow!!

How Do You People Survive
Swimming Against The Prevailing Tide?!
Don't You Want To Be Rich Now!

We Are Rich Now!
We Have An Inheritance ... To Look Forward To
A Mission To Accomplish
A Crucible To Get Through
A Hope
A Help
Mercy
Grace
Faith
AND
Salvation In The Beloved Son!

We Are Never Alone
AND
For The Record
This Earth Is Not Our Home!
It Is Our School!

Now, That's Rich!!

We Know!!!

No, You Don't!
I Was Being Sarcastic!!

We Know!!!

Lord, I Give Up On These People!

I Didn't Realize You Knew The Lord!?!

I Don't!

So Why Did You Call His Name?!

I Didn't! It's Just A Word!

No, It Isn't!

Jesus Christ, The Lord
IS
Our Maker
Our Savior
Our Redeemer
Our Friend! 

He Is The Almighty God
AND
It Is He Who Knows All Hearts
Be Ye Humble Saint Or Proud Sinner!

You Just Said All Hearts!

All Hearts!
Jesus Christ Knows
All The Thoughts
AND
All The Intents Of Man's Heart!

All?!

All!!!

I Think I'm Going To Be Sick?!

Why?!
What Did You?!
What Are You Doing?!
What Were You Planning To Do?!

You DON'T Want To Know!

You Can Tell Jesus!
He Sacrificially Cares You!

I Know THAT!!

So, What IS The Problem!?!

I Planned And Plotted
Schemed And Connived
Swindled And Back-Raised
AND
I Have A Boat-Load Of Money
AND
Toys And Pleasures Beyond All Reason
AND
I Am Miserable And Miserly
AND
My Soul Is About To Be Char-Baked
AND YET
Everything Truly Worth Buying
Even Begging For ...!

... IS FREE!!!

... And Free Just By Praying And Believing!

... And Loving And Trusting!

Let's Not Forget Faith And Obedience ...!

... The Deal-Breaker!

The Deal-Breaker That Always Plagued Me!

Steele, Without Faith
It Is Impossible To Obey
AND
Please The Living God!

I Know That, Too!
Full Circle I Have Come!

Jesus Christ Cares
And He Also Truly Saves, 'Tis True ..!

So
Isn't It About Time
That You Depart Rebellion
And To His Desires
With Finality
Now Cave?!

I Know That!
Problem Is
I Am Ashamed
For
To Sin
I Have Been The Willing, Perfect, Slave!

Shall We Tell Him?!

Yes, Let's!

All That The Lord Does
For Us And In Us
IS
Well Done!

OUR RESPONSE 
Should Be:

Yes, Lord! 

Thank You, Lord!

Amen!

I'm Telling The World!

Just So!?!

Just So!!!

You Know What?!

What?!

I Want In On That Deal!!

Thank You, Jesus!!!

Yes!
I Believe A Spot Just Opened
On My Formerly Busy Schedule
AND
I Have Time To Have A Lil' Talk With Jesus!

He Makes Wrong Things Right!

PRAYER:

Jesus, Savior

Pilot Me!

From Sin To Salvation

Please Direct Me!

I Have Been A Wastrel

Vile And Lost!

Please Forgive Me For Forgetting

The Great Price To You

That My Sin Cost!

....

I Believe He's Going To Make It!

Indeed, Brother!

Indeed!

HAPPY SABBATH + Going With The Flow?!

The Truth Of Almighty God

That Differs From

AND
Is At Variance
With That Of A Fun-loving World
ISAbhorred
By Many So-Called Followers Of
Jesus Christ The Lord!

Having To Believing Almighty God's Truth
Puts Them In A Spot Of Bother
BECAUSE
They Know That They Will Suffer Just Reproach
AND
Inconvenience
About Those Personal Things

Which They Choose Not To Consider
Or Thereby
To Ever Be Bothered!

That Is Ram-George Foolishness!

Why Do You Say That?!

You Ever See Ram-George In Action?!

Can't Say That I Have!

This IS A Hot Place!
Every Day ... Like Clockwork
Promptly At 11:00 a.m.
Aunt Bee, Big Bertha
Brings Out Her Box-Cart
With Buckets Of Water For The Black-Belly Sheep!

Every Day ... Like Clockwork
Ram-George Takes A Lil' Swig Of His Water
AND
Then Frames Up Like A True Backside
AND
Promptly ... Kicks Over His Water-Bucket!

Sounds Like A Bit Of An Idiot Child!

Do You Know What Happens Thereafter?!

Can't Rightly Say That I Do!

By The Time That The Two O'clock Sun
Starts Beating Down In 'e Hard Head
He Proceeds To Bass-Man Baa Bloody Murder
As If Someone Is Trying To Kill 'e Dead!

But, Rancid?!
I Don't Get Your Point!

Look At It This Way ...

You Are Sinner
Living In The Desert Of Sin!
Jesus Christ IS Your Savior! 

He Brings The Water Of Truth
Daily
To Effect Your Soul's Saving
BUT
Just Like Old Ram-George
You Take Just A Sip Of Salvation
AND
Kick The Rest Aside
BECAUSE
What You See Others Doing
Looks To Be Sooo Much More Interesting
AND

You Want To Swim With The Prevailing Tide!

You Know That To Accept All Truth
The Total Package Called Salvation
Will Mean Living A New Life
One Not Currently In Vogue
In Fashion!

You Know ...

Imprinting Is A Terrible Thing!

Huh?!

Sorry!
I Was Remembering When Ram-George
Was A Lil' Fellow!

Ma Pilgrim ... Next Door
Had Some Real Hard-Mout' Goats!
Just Like Big Bertha
She Brought Out Water Every Day
For Her Stock!

The Goats Would Drink The Water
AND THEN
Those Same Goats
Would Take Great Pleasure In
Butting The Buckets Like Bare Bosses!
They Seemed To Enjoy The Sound!

So, Obviously ...

Baby Ram-George Saw
What A Drunken Mind Revealed
That A Sober Mind Concealed!

He Thought He Saw What He Saw
When
In Truth And In Fact
He Did Not See What He Saw!

The Goats Drank Their Fill
BEFORE
The Water Bucket They Tried To Kill!

Ohhhh!
I Get You!

The World Drinks Its Own Brew
AND
You
A Neophyte
Think That You Can, Too
Even Though He, Alone
Who Is Our Savior
Provides What, Alone

Can Save Me And You!

Following The Wayward Multitude
IS

Ever Always Wrong
AND
Singing Their Rallying Song
Will Never Make The Wrong Thing Right
AND
Blindly
Walking In Their Way
Will Kill You E'er Long!

See With Your Eyes
BUT
Don't Touch!

Jesus Christ Hears Our Every Cry
AND
He Does Not Ever ... In Answering
Lie!

Believe
Half Of What You Hear
AND
None Of What You See! 

The Unclean Thing
Do Not Touch
Do Not Taste
BUT
Trust In The Lord Jesus
AND
In Eternity
You Shall Have A Personal Place!

Truth Is
Truth ISAND
Man Is Always A Liar

AND

Temporal Things Lie!

Man Is Not To Have
Everything His Foolish Carnal Heart
Avidly
Anxiously
Desires!

No Man

No Created Being

Can Refute The Eternal God's Truth

So

Do Not From Engaging With Truth

Dare

To Willfully Stand Aloof!

If You Do

You Will Never Get To Enjoy

Almighty God's Gift To Man Of

Eternal Youth!

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

No Created Being

Can Deny Almighty God's

Sovereign Will!
