We Should Never Let It Depart!

Those Who Will To Follow Christ

Will Seek Avidly
- Under The Direction Of The Holy Spirit -
To Make The Necessary Corrections!

No Man Woman Child
Who Truly Walks With The Lord
Can Stay Unchanged In His Presence
And
For This Very Reason

We Seriously Need To Look 

To Correct Those Things That Are Not Right 

In Ourselves

We Have No Desire For The Lord
In The Judgment Hour
To Look Upon Us In Rejection
In Abhorrence!

If You Love Me

Keep My Commandments!

A True Spiritual Success!

Christians Coldly Calculating Consequences!?!

Working For The Master
Should Be A Straight Up:

Yes, Lord!

I Obey!

There Should Never Be An Instance Where
Christians Coldly Calculating Consequences
Should Ever Come Into Play

In The Contemplation Of

Our Service For The Master!

That's Real Easy For You To Say!

It Should Be Easy For You, Too!
You're A Christ Follower, Aren't You?!

I'm A Christ Follower But I'm Not Foolish!
I Need My Life If I Want To Live!
If I Have No Life
What Is The Service That I Can To The Lord Give?!

Do You Believe The Word Of God?!

Of Course, I Do!

Is It Suitable For You In Everything You Do!

Of Course, It Is!

In That Case
How Does:

Not My Will But Thy Will Be Done!

Come Into Play For You?!

How About:

Take Up Thy Cross And Follow Me?!

And, Lest We Forget

When, For You, Does

Yeah, Though I Walk

Through The Valley Of Death

I Will Fear No Evil!

Start Working?!

Ahhhm, Uh ...!

As The Son Of Man
Jesus Christ Gave Unto Us 

The Perfect Example Of Obedience!

As The Son Of God
Jesus Christ 

Gives

Unto Us The Power To Obey ...!

... You Should Add For Parker's Benefit
If We Believe He Is Able To Deliver
On The Promises Of God!!

So, I Guess, Parker

We Meaning ... You
Are At A Crossroad!

A Very Important Dangerous
Destiny-Altering Crossroad!

So, Mr. Parker

Who Are You Going To Call Up
In The Hour Of Your Trial
If 

You Don't 

Can't

Won't

Trust Jesus Christ In The Field?!

Jesus Christ 

Is

God Almighty
All The Time Or None Of The Time!

He Cannot Be Almighty In The Calm
And
Then Trembling 

When His Believing Children
Face The Fire!

You Either Trust Jesus Christ All The Way
Or Doubt Him All The Way!

I Know!

I Know That You're Right!

Well, Then

Just Understand That There Is No Middle Ground!
No Halfway!
No Grey!
It Is Black Or White!
Green Or Red!
Believe Or Doubt!

There Is To Be No Waffling

And

Decidedly
No Turning About!

I, I, I Am Scared ...!

So Were We
But 

We Still Went Out!

Remember Moses
And
Don't Ever Forget Elijah!

They Believed And They Trusted

And They Walked 

And, Lord Almighty, How They Worked!

Moses Died And Was By Jesus Christ, Himself

Resurrected
And
In Holy Heaven Does Live!

Elijah Lived
And
Was Translated Never Having Tasted Death
And
In Holy Heaven Does Live!

Hold On To This Truth ...

All Of Jesus Christ's Redeemed Ones
Will Be Reclaimed As Either A Moses
Or
An Elijah!

But What About The Cost!?!

What Cost!?!

Jesus Already Paid All Our Costs

So The Price To You Is Cheap!

Not Thaaat!

I Mean To Moses And Elijah!

The Cost Was Still Cheap
Since Neither One Was 

- To The Glorious Kingdom -
Lost!

Man, I Really Need To Grow A Spine!

Brother,
Trust God And Learn To Lean On Jesus!

Wise Up And Be A Fool For Christ

And

Do A Paul!

Huh!?!

Yeah! Yeah!

My Strength Is My Leaning On The Lord

Because I Know I'm Weak Without Him!

Don't Ever Forget This ...

The Lord Can't Use Personally Strong
Arrogantly Self-Sufficient
Prideful Persons
To Preach Peace And Salvation
To His Seeking People!

You Know What!?!

What!?!

I Can Do This!

I Can Do All Things Through Christ ...!

... Who Moment By Moment ...!

... Strengthens Us!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Dollar Bill Owned Man And Land!?!

Dollar Bill Owned People
And
Dollar Bill Owned All The Land
And
Often You'd See Him
With A Man Or Two In Either Hand
And
If He Was Feeling Truly Irate
Or 
Had Had A Successful Late-Night Date
You Might Find A Man Or Two
On His Always Too-Full Breakfast Plate!

Dollar Bill
- For A Dollar Bill Or Two -
Will Cheerfully Sell A Mother
A Grandmother
A Sister Or Brother
And
A Homeless Father
Got No Discount In His Moment Of Disaster
For Dollar Loves His Bills
And
If A Lil' Fish Stole One
Dollar Wouldn't Hesitate
To Cut Out His Gills
For
In His Eyesight Wrong Is Ever Right
And
That Is How That Dollar Bill
Gets His Jollies And Cheap Thrills!

For Them
His Belly Is Never Filled!

Can You Feel The "But" Coming On?! 

But ... 

Dollar Bill Has An Adversary

- A Man He Cannot Stand -

Whose Name Is Entire Dependence

Who Leans Wholly

On The High And Holy Hand! 

Entire Dependence

Is

Completely Consecrated

To The Cause Of The Lord Jesus Christ

And

He Does Not

- Even For A Single Minute -

Contemplate Using The Demonic Device 
Be It

Greed And Gain

One-Upmanship

Rob A Brother

Or

Throwing Around The Word Profane!

Entire Dependence
Believes The Holy Word In Its Entirety

And

He Has Jesus Christ The Righteous

As His Surety

And

His Security

And 

He Does Not Practice Lies!

The Heat Was On ... 

Dollar Bill Tried Everything

To Get Entire Dependence 

To His Warped Way Of Thinking

To Come Around! 

He Offered Him Silver And Gold
And

Even A One-Off Minted Gold Crown

But

Entire Dependence

Had Taken For His Example

The Life That Jesus Christ Had Led

And

For Victory Over Sin

In Every Battle For The Mind

Through Heartfelt Prayer

He Was ... By The Holy Spirit Of Truth

Good Food Fed!

He Walked With God ...

Entire Dependence Would Not

Could Not
And
Refused To

Walk By Himself!

Entire Dependence Leaned
Leans On

And

Walks With ... King Jesus
The Joy Of Every Soul! 

Turning The Screws ...

Dollar Bill Set Traps! 

Trips! 

Tests!

Dollar Bill Told Bold Lies!

Dollar Bill Designed Gross Cheats
And
For A Dose Of Overkill
Dollar Bill Ordered Up Sensory Overloading 
Aka Brain-Busting 
Mind-Blowing
Tempting-To-Touch Treats!

Almighty God Is Strength ...

All The Evils Things 
Were Thrown At Entire Dependence

But

By Kneeling 
Bowing 
Bending 
And
Prostrating Himself Before Almighty God
And
Clinging To The Words Of Truth And Life

In The War Against Dollar Bill And Sin

Entire Dependence Kept Walking 

On Sure And Steady Feet!

Listen To Him
Before The Lord Of Life, Weep ... 

Bless The Lord, Oh, My Soul! 

Trust The Lord And You Will Live! 

Almighty God Is Gracious

Blessing Giving

And

His Faithful Children Who Depend On Him

Shall With Him In Peace

Enjoy Eternal Living!

Lord,

To You, Alone

My Soul, I Am Giving! 

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

I Am Thine, Oh, Lord! 

Draw Me Nearer! 

Lead Me Gently, Safely, Home! 

Suffer Me Never

To Walk Through This Life Alone!

Jesus Christ

For My Sin

Did Atone!

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

I Need You, Lord! 

I Need You Now! 

Remove From My Presence, Lord

Rutting Sin

Behaving Like A Wild Range Sow!

I Know No Other Master!

I Sing A Glad Refrain!

I Trust You, Lord!

You Are My God!

Take From My Soul

Sin's Stain And Shame!

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

Have Thine Own Way, Lord!

Bless Me

To Walk The Straight And Narrow Way! 

I Desire To Enter Into Thy Holy Presence

So

Cleanse Me Of The Vile Urge To Sin

So That In The Glad Day

- By Right -

I Shall Through The Gates Of The Eternal City

With Gladness

Walk In!

Lord, I Desire The Purchased Win!

It Is In Christ Jesus

That

Daily I Am Trusting And Believing!

Never Give Up On Jesus ...

Dollar Valiantly Tried And Failed

And

Bill, Cursing, Died

And

Was Fabulously Displayed
- Nobody Cried -

But

Ever And Always To His God
- The Living Holy Redeeming Faithful True Eternal God -

Entire Dependence

- To This Day - 

Continually Faithfully
Hope-Filled
Enduringly Relies!

Is There A Moral To All This?!

There Is A Moral ... 

Dollar Bills Come!
And 

Dollar Bills Go

And

Property Passes On To Another 

But

Entire Dependence ... On The Living God 

Causes A Regenerated Christian

With The Lord Christ

To Live Happily ... And Forever!

Living In Sin

And

Causing Others To Sin

Does Not Make

Either

A Rich Man

A Poor Man

A Beggar Man

Nor

A Wily Thief

Wise Or Clever!

Trust In Christ Jesus

And

Do All Things

According To His Will

And

Live Righteously Now

And

In The Fullness Of Time

Triumphantly

And

Forever! 

HAPPY SABBATH + The Wedding

One Gloriously Bright And Beautiful Morning
In The Presence Of God
And
A Reasonably Large Company Of Witnesses
The. Beatitudes
Was Joined In Holy Matrimony To
Ten Commandments!

Nobody Saw It Coming!
Nobody Expected It!
People Were Flummoxed!

There Was Much Whizzy Whizzying!

And

The Host Of Men
Wanted To Know
Why
The. Beatitudes Aka The Blessings
Would Marry Of All People
Ten Commandments!?!

Ten Commandments
Is Considered
- Pointedly -

Two-Faced!

His Motto ... On That Score
That Face
Is
"Nothing Between My Soul And My Savior!"

On The Other Also Squeaky Clean Face
He Has His Up In Your Face Relationship
- Get This -
To. His. Fellow. Man!

The Motto He Ever Utters
In The Hearing Of All In The Sound Of His Great Voice
Is
"I Love My Neighbor As I Love Myself!

Positions Were Taken Up ...

The Star Gazers Saw Nothing Wrong With The Union
Because, To Them
Ten Commandments Was More Like
Ten Suggestions
Ten Recommendations
Ten Ideas!

They Didn't Believe He Could Be Serious
About
"Daily Walking Holy Just Honest And True!"

The Illuminated Ones
Saw Themselves As gods
And
Poo-Pooed Ten Commandments' "Play"
As Being Totally Unnecessary
For Their High And Lifted Up Minds
Which Stood Upon The Pedestal
"Do What Thou Wilt!"

The Free Spirits
Made A Bold Statement:

"A Good Live-With Beat Any Marriage!"

They Weren't Into Knots And Encumbrances!

But, The Christians ...

The Regenerated Christians
Were Joyfully Rejoicing
Because, Well
They Saw ... The Light!

It Was Sooo Simple That
It Is Mind-Boggling!

They Laughed!
They Cried!
They Hugged Each Other
And
They Pointed Up To Sky
And
Soon Was Heard A Clear Voice Among Them
Happily Saying:

"The Lord Jesus Christ, Himself 

Is In It!"

The Lord, Himself
Uttered
And
Wrote His Commandments
And
He, Also, Himself
Spoke The Blessing!

The Plain Truth ...

The Lord, Himself
Well
Commands ... Blessings!

When You Follow All God's Commandments
You Cannot Help
But
To Be Changed! 

You Will Look Up To God Almighty
And
Reach Out
To Your Fellow Man
And
The Order Of Priority
Is
Clean And Tidy

And

Rightly Organized!

You'd Better Recognize This, Though ...

The Blessing Is Reserved
For Those Who Believe
Those Who Honor
Trust
Love
Worship And Obey The Lord Christ

And

The Blessing Of Sonship
Is
Only For Those
Who Have Chosen
- By Working Faith -
For Own Sin
Not To Pay
By Accepting That Jesus Christ Paid The Bill
In Full
For All Mankind
On That One Great Day!

At The End Of The Celebration ...

The Faithful Few
Who Don't Bow The Knee

To Base Vanities

While Running After Lies
Were Heard Uttering These Few Choice Words:

Follow Ten Commandments

To Hold The. Beatitudes

And

Be Gloriously Blessed To Be Birthed

A Son Of God

And

A Joint-Heir To The Living Kingdom

With The Lord Jesus Christ!!

Embrace The Love

And

Faithfully Endure

All Things For The Lord Christ

To Be Blessed To Go And Live Forever

With Him

When He Breaches The Eastern Sky

At The Second Coming!

Redemption Is Not A Lie!

It Was Truly An Amazing Day!

On God's Truth

I Was Completely Sold!

Truth Be Told

It Is Gold Fit For The Seeking Soul!

 

Do You Know Who Your Jesus Christ Is!?! + PRAYER: Lord, Remember Me!

Brethren,
I Tell You Plainly That
Psalm 46
Will Distinctly Play Out

In The Prelude To
The Great Getting-Up Morning!

Is Jesus Christ The Lord
Your Refuge
And
Your Strength!?!

Do You Let Psalm 37
Be Your Guide
Or
Are You Fretting Yourself Over Evil Doers!?!

Is Psalm 23 Your Breakfast
Your Lunch
Your Dinner
Or
Are You So Caught Up 

In Catch Up To The World
That You Fail To Recognize That
The Lord Of Creation
The Savior Of Mankind
The Redeemer Of The Faith
Is
Your Shepherd!?!

Do You Stop And Think On
And
Remember That Psalm 91
Is 

Sufficient To Cover You

In The Day Of Small Things
When The Follies Of Rabid Sinners Are Fully Apparent
And
The Word Of God To The Faithful
Is
Made Wonderfully Real
When You Realize
- In Deed -
That No Evil Shall Come Nigh Your Dwelling Place!?!

Do Your Fully Trust The Lord
In Whom Is Everlasting Strength!?!

Do You Believe
With Every Fiber Of Your Being That
Almighty God

Is 

The Rewarder Of Them
That Diligently Seek Him!?

Do You Believe That You Are Wonderfully Blessed!?!

Are You Sheltered In The Arms Of God!?!

Are You Sending Ahead Treasures
Wrought Of Faith Hope
Love Trust 

Willing Obedience
Wonderful Worship

And
Thankful Prayers

And
Joyful Praise To The Great King!?!

Is The Blessed Assurance, Yours
By Faith!?!

Are You Telling The Story Of Jesus
Or
Are You Hiding Your Hope Because Of
Unholy Fear Of What Man Can Do To You!?!

Is Jesus Christ Enough

And

Sufficient

And 

All Thing To You!?!

Is Hope For Heaven The Breath That 

You Constantly Needfully Breathe!?! 

How Are You Saying:

"Thanks Be To Almighty God For

All The Joy That Now Is

And

That That Is To Be!?!"

Are You Happy

Truly Happy

 ... In Christ Jesus!?!

Have You Taken The Step To Give Up
Bearing Your Burdens ... Alone!?! 

If Not, Isn't It Time That You Do!?!

PRAYER:

Lord,

When You Shall In Your Kingdom Come

Please, I Beseech You

Remember Me!

I Am Available To You, Lord

But, Sometimes

I Do Not Feel Equipped Or Fit

To Do The Work Before The Family Of God!

Be Gracious, Father

And

Do For Me What None 

But 

The Holy God Can Do!

Make Me A Fit Vessel 

And

A Good Steward For And In Your Service!

Make Me A Ready Willing And Able Worker 

In The Lush Fields Of This Mortal Life!

I Am Eager To Learn Your Ways

And

Do Your Will

And

I Ask You Also

To Make Me A Conscientious Student 

In The School Of Jesus

And, Please

Make Me To Your Heart

A Blessing And A Delight!

I Love You, Lord!

I Worship You!

I Give You Praise!

May It Be Thus

Until The End Of My Days

Is My Heart's Constant Plea

In Jesus Christ's Holy Name!

You Promised Never To Forget Me!

AMEN.
