HAPPY SABBATH + From Imputed To Imparted Righteousness!

The Blessing Of The Lord
It MAKES Man Rich
And
He Adds No Sorrow To It!

Impute Is To HAVING A Credit Card
What Impart Is To OWNING The Bank!

Keep Going!!

If I SAY That You Are A Christian
Does That Make You One?!

No! Of Course Not!

When Jesus Calls You A Christ-Follower
Does That Make You A Christ-Follower?!

Yes, Indeed It Does!

Why?!

Jesus Christ Cannot Lie!
You, A Man, Do!

Okay!
Let's Look At It From Another Direction:

Jesus Christ 

Is 

The Central Bank!
You, A Believing Christian, Are A Neighborhood Bank!
Jesus Issues A Deposit Of Daily Faith To You

The Believing Christian Aka Neighborhood Bank!
You Have A Corporate Charge Card Marked 

Faith!

To Make Purchases IRL Aka In Real Life!

You Have/Experience A Need!
You Believe Your Deposit Is Available!
You, In Faith, Make A Purchase By Faith!
Life Goes On!
You Are/Have Been Blessed!

You, In Gratitude, Seek To Be A Blessing
Because
You Know ... Of A Surety

That Jesus Christ's Faith
Moves. Your. Mountains!

But ...

There Is A Problem For The Doubter:

Jesus Christ Says That He Is Giving Faith
That Is, Imputing
Letting You Have Access To His Righteousness!
Jesus Christ Then Invites You
To Invite The Holy Spirit Of Truth
- Who Will Work In You -
To Help You TAKE Of The Available Faith
Which Is Imparted
- Made Personally Available To You -
Which You May Freely
Constantly
Willfully
Wantonly Access
Confidently!

Moving From Faith To Righteousness
Is 

A Journey
Performed By A One-Step-At-A-Time Walk

But

Never, Not Ever, A Race!

Whoa!
I Believe That I've Gotten It!

Simply Put, Brethren
Faith Is The Coin
In The Purse Of Belief
Which Is Opened In Obedience
By The Willing Hand Of Trust

Aka

Jesus Christ Says He Is The Purse
Containing Our Wealth
Which
- Though Openly Available -
Is Only Accessible
To The One Who Chooses
To Believe
To Trust
To Obey
To Act
To Receive
To Live

And
To Grow
To Gain
Abundant Living ... Now

And 

Eternal Life ... Later!

We Must See That ...

The Very Real Difference Between
Imputed Righteousness 

And 

Imparted Righteousness
Is
Our Hope!
Our Faith!
Our Belief!
Our Love!
Our Obedience!
Our Trust!

If We Have The First Four
We'll Always Exercise The Last Two!

Let's Recap ...

Imputed Righteousness 

Is 

Jesus Christ Saying That 

He Is Giving Us His Righteousness
And
Our Having Faith To Trust Him At His Word!

Imparted Righteousness 

Is 

Our Believing That
Jesus Christ Delivers On His Word
And
Our Willingness To Give Over Self
And
Permitting Him To Have His Way In Our Lives
- Via The Agency Of The Holy Spirit -
To Make Us Righteous!

The Comforter Is Coming ...!

... The Comforter Is Coming Here ... To Me ...!

... The Comforter Is In Me!

I Am Comforted And Comfortable In Christ!

Exactly!

The Walk From Present Faith To ... Future Sight!

The Journey Is From Desiring 

To Acting
To Living ... On The Fact!

The Bottom Line ...

The Consequences Of The Lack Of Action
For The Unbelieving Distrustful Disobedient
Unfaithful Soul
Are Fatally And Eternally Grave

And

Just So That You'll Never Forget ...

Imputed Righteousness 

Is 

Our Title To Heaven!
Imparted Righteousness 

Is 

Our Fitness For Heaven
Aka 

Our Certificate Of Occupancy!

May The God Of All Grace

Help Us To Make Our Calling

And Election To Heaven ... Sure!

... Following The Kind Master!

In The School Of Trial
Which We Often Call The School Of Hard Knocks
The Lord Jesus Christ Teaches
You, Me, Us!

We Learn Life Through Self-Denial 

And 

Disappointment

And ...

Through Bitter Personal Experience
We Learn The Evil Of Sin
The Power Of Sin
The Guilt Inflicted By Sin
And
The Great Woes Perpetrated Because Of Sin

And ...

We Learn To Love 
And 
Obediently Follow
The Leading Of The Kind Master!

Obedience Doesn't Come Naturally!

We Learn To Hate Sin
And
We Long For Jesus Christ's Free Salvation!

Self Occasionally Rears Up Its Ugly Head
But
Through The Patient Discipline Of Undying Love
And
The Real Desire Our Dear And Blessed Lord To Please
We Come Around To The Way Of The Cross
And
We Learn To Walk As Those Wise
Those Who Will Not To Sin Be Lost!

And For Our Faithfulness ...

Bitter Opposition
Hatred Most Vile
And
Character Assassination
Doggedly Follow 
And
Fall Upon Us
When We Will Not Against The Lord's Truth Lie!

Lest We Forget ...

The Way Of The Cross Leads Us  To The Eternal Home
But
The Journey Is Marked With Tears
The Setting Aside Of SelfCast Off Doubts
Disbeliefs
Terrors
Troubles
Songs Of Gladness For Battles Won
Pleadings For Revelation
Songs Setting Forth Trials Overcome
And
Songs Of Victory Over Besetting Sin!

Make Up Your Mind ...

Jesus Christ The Righteous
Is 
Our Savior
And
We Will Not Be Moved!

Faith And Grace

Are

Our Only-For-The-Present-Day "Vitamins"

And

The Holy Spirit Of Living Truth

Is

Our Constant Companion

Guiding Chiding Directing Teaching Us

So That The Accuser Of The Brethren

Cannot Cause Us

Our Love For Our Lord

To Cut Loose!

Doubt! Pedestrian Doubt!?!

Whatever You Do
Do Not Open The Door!
Do Not Let Him Her Whatever It Is
Into The House Of Your Heart!

Don't Let Who Or Whatever In ...!?!

... I Didn't Know My Heart Had A House!?!

Do Not Let In The Evil Guest!

The Evil Guest!?!
You Don't Mean Who I Think You Mean!?!

Who Do You Mean!?!

I Mean The Big Cheese!
Old Satan Himself!
Everybody Knows To Keep Him Outside!

That's Not The One!

Then, Who!?!
Who Is, Who Else Could Be, The Evil Guest!?!

You'll Never Believe Who It Is!

Come On! Out With It!

Doubt! Pedestrian Doubt!

You Mean That Two-Faced
Double-Minded Everything Wavering
Driven By The Sea
Tossed About By Circumstances ... Doubt!?!

Yup! That Would Be The Farcical One!

If Only You Knew How Much I Hate That Villain
Always Sucking Up To You
Stoking Your Fears
Stroking Your  Vanity
Lifting Up Self
Putting Down Faith
And The Horror Of It All
Calling The Word Of Truth
The Word Of The Eternal God Into ... Doubt!

Come Closer, Guys!
I Used To Have A Serious Problem 

With That Wretch Pedestrian Doubt
Who Was Always Under Foot ...!

... You Mean Always Under Skin ...!

... You Mean Always On The Mind!

We Are All Right!
It's In Your Face
In Your Bed
At Your Job
In The Church

AndIn Your Relationships Vertical And Horizontal!

Bottom Line Is That Pedestrian Doubt Was
Is Everywhere

But

I'll Tell You This Much:

I Found The Secret

And
It Is ... Choice!

Choose Hope Over "I" and Change Everything!

Choose To Believe The Word Of God
Because
It Is The Word Of God!
Trust Almighty God When You Can't Trace Almighty God!
Look Up ... Not In!
Remember The Shepherd!
Remember The Rock!
Remember The Sheltering Wings!
Remember The Savior Whom The Father To Us Gave!
Remember The Holy Spirit Who Came In The Savior's Name!
Remember The Holy Angels Who Protect And Influence Us To Do Good

And
Remember The Light That Shines
Because
Salvation In Our Hearts Did Flood!

Remember This Truth ...

Doubt Cannot Reign

Where The Holy Spirit Rests

And

The Holy Spirit Cannot Rule

Where 

Doubt Makes Its Nest!

Brethren,

We Are Christ-Believers
And
Infinitely Blessed By The Gifts Of The Eternal Holy God!

If We Are Honest

It Is Plain To All Who Will The Truth See That 

Doubt, Pedestrian Doubt
Is 

A Vile Present
Offered By The Gross Enemy!

Any Present From Satan And His Sort
Is Sure To Be A Curse! 

Jesus Christ Died To Reverse The Eden Curse
So Stay Away From Him Who Curses
Him Who Exists To Destroy
And 

Lean Avidly On The Lord Of Life
Who Gives Us Life Everlasting
And
Joy ... Unalloyed!

Preach, Preacher!!

Doubt Thrives

On That Which Fills

The Carnal Eye!

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

Faith Thrives

On The Hope That

The Grace Of The Lord Jesus Christ Supplies!

WILL YOU STAND: The Faithful Few!

I'm Satisfied With Jesus
Who Bore A Cross To Save Me!
I'm Satisfied With Jesus
Whose Death On Calvary
Purchased Freedom-From-Sin
Just For Me!

Christ Jesus Died My Champion
And Rose Up As My Savior King
And One Day

Face To Face I Shall See Him
When He Comes To Earth Again!

The Time On The Clock Of Prophecy
Is 

In The Count Down Phase!
Daily One Can Point To An Event And Say
That Couldn't Have Happened
Except In These Days!

Many Are Unbelieving
Alluding To Happenstance
Denying The God Of The Ages
But Praising
Man's Medical And Technological Advance!

My King James Bible Makes It
- Emphatically Clear -
That There Is Nothing New Under The Sun
That What Is, Has Been
And What Has Been, Shall Assuredly Be Done
Assuring Us That Man's Off-The-Chain Wickedness
Shall Certainly Be Practiced Again
And Also Stating Emphatically That
The Lord Christ Shall Once And For All
And For The Elect's Sake Put Down Evil
And At The Appointed Time
Burn Up This Earth, Sin, Satan, And All Wickedness!

This Present Working Is Evil's 

Belly Up To The Bar Last Call!

Evil Shall Not Rise Up Again
And Heaven And Earth Shall Pass Away!
Satan And His Kind
Rebels Of The Clan Lost Cause
Will Have Done Their Worse
But It Will Have Been In Vain!

For Their Last Portion Is The Final Curse!

The Prince Of Peace
Our Redeemer Savior Friend
Is Coming Again
And To Sin And Sinners
He Will Put The Period
And His Name Will Be Shouted
By The Redeemed, Gleefully
Amen! Amen! AMEN!

Praise God From Whom All Blessings Flow!
Praise God, You Believers
Who Said "Yes!" To The Christ And Not "No!"
Praise God, Ye Saints On The Glory Road!
The King Is Coming!
Let This Dying World Know!

Wash Your Garments!
Christ's Red Blood Makes Them Christ's-Righteousness White!
Keep Your Selves Unspotted By The World!
Deny Flesh And Eye Lust!
Deny Pride In This Life!
Tell The Despairing People 

The Living Truth For This Age That 

The Soul's Of Men Are Considered The Great Commodity
And
The Grand Delusion Is Preparing Her Grand Stage!

Jesus Christ Is Captain Commander
Of The Faithful Few Force!
Jesus Christ Is The Author
Of The Win By Sacrifice Discourse!
Jesus Christ Is The Glorious King
Conducting The Saints' Rescue
And
Jesus Christ 

Is 

The Only King That Is Alpha Omega
Beginning End
The Mighty God
Who Commands Life Eternal
For Those Who Are His Friends!
I Am One!
Are You!?!

Jesus Christ Is Still Calling!
Please Accept His Offer: It Is Real!
It Is Righteous
And It Is Available
To All Who Will To Him
Be Faithful And True!
Come On Board!
There's Always Room For One More!
Come And Join Us!
There Will Be A Glorious Celebration
When Heaven's Pearly Gates Are Open
On Almighty God's Eternal Kingdom's
No More Night Shore!

Jesus Christ The Righteous

Is

The Open Door!

Indulging The Luciferian Spirit!?!

Don't Grieve!
Don't Despise
And
Don't Resist
The Holy Spirit Of God The Father
The Holy Spirit Of God The Son
By Whom We Are Sealed Against The Day
The Great Day Of Almighty God's Wrath!

The Holy Spirit Is Real
And
Blasphemy Against The Holy Spirit Is Sin
Which
All Who Call Jesus Christ
Lord God
Savior Master
Redeemer
King And Friend To Life's End
Should Seek To Avoid At All Costs
No Matter What In Life's Living
At Your Being Is Tossed!

"Take Not Your Holy Spirit From Me!"
Is What King David Cried!

Create In Me A Clean Heart, Oh, God
So That Your Direction
Your Law
Your Will
I Will Not ... By The Sin Of Presumption
Defy!

The Only Sin That Cannot Be Forgiven
Is
The Sin Which Man Does Not Seek To Repent
And
That Sin
- Grieving ... Despising ... Resisting
The Holy Spirit Of Almighty God
The Comforter Who Is Here
He Who Guides And Chides
He Who Leads Into All Truth -
Is
The Sin
Which Man Consciously
Willfully
Defiantly Commits
Deeming His Purchased-From-Damnation Life
His Will
His Way
As His, Alone
And
Choosing ... Finally
To Boldly Reject The One
Whose Working In His Life
Would See Him ... Safely
- Blessed -
Arriving At The Heavenly Home!

This Is No Cinematic Borg Collective
Where Resistance Is Futile!
All Who Choose To Resist The Holy Spirit
Will Never Trek The Stars
Along The Eternal Mile
Where The Redeemed Of Almighty God And Christ The Lord
Have Their Abode
Because
They Have Raised Up Their Sinful Selves
To Great And Lofty Heights
And
Will Never Lower Themselves Enough
Upon Their Only Savior To Rely!

Despising The Holy Spirit!?!
Who Would Be So Foolish!?!
The Man, Woman, Child
Who "Made" Him Or Her Self
And
Will Not Bend Before The Lord Of Life
And
With The Aid Of The Holy Spirit Of Truth
For Soul Salvation Importunately Cry!

Who Will Grieve Away The Holy Spirit!?!
The Very One Who Despises The Holy Spirit!
The Very One Who Consciously Resists The Holy Spirit
By Wittingly Pulling Away The Shoulder
By The Hardening Of The Heart
By Lifting The Hand Against The Truth
By Walking The Foot Away From Correction
Away From Direction
And
Refusing Protection
Because
Sinful Self Is Seen As Safe Saint
And
Self Is Postured As King And god
Acknowledging Of Nothing Of 
Known Sins' Damning Taint!

He Who Rebuffs The Holy Spirit
Is
The One Who Indulges In
Own-Sin Self-Pay
And
Such An One
Has The Luciferian Spirit
Which
- For Love Of Self -
Refuses To Acknowledge That
Sin Has Almighty God-Delineated
Almighty God-Delimited Limits
And
Chooses Deceitful Heart's Raging Desire
Even While Knowing That
That Wasteful Desire Leads To Unquenchable Fire!

Bold Sinners ...

King Saul
Balaam
Korah And His Cohorts
The Ten Spies
King Ahab
Achan
Abihu And Nadab
Hophni And Phineas
Everyone Of Them Died In Their Known Sin
Lost ... Forever!

Brethren, Beloved 

Please Never Let Us Follow The Multitude
- Nor The Lone Ravening Wolf -
To Do This Evil In The Sight Of The Holy God!

Without The Ministrations Of The Holy Spirit
We Will Never Be Saved
To Live For Eternity
With Jesus Christ Our Lord
Who Sent Him To Aid Us!

I'm Sure That You Know That
This Is The Desire Of Satan
Aka King Fraud
The Wannabe God!

Be Bold!
Serve Up Your Trust In The Living God Cold
And
Rebuke The Devourer!
Put Him In His Place!
He. Must. Be. Told!

Trust And Trust In The Lord Jesus Christ!
Believe The Gift Of The Holy Spirit Is Yours, For Real
And
With His Help
Walk Righteously Before The World And Satan
And
Inherit By Right
- In The Fullness Of Time -
The Great And Glorious Reward!

Pearl Gates And Personality Traits!?!

Did You See That Personality Test!?!

I Did ... And I Ignored It!

But, Why!?!

It Pegged My Personally In A Hurry!

It's Wrong!

What Do You Means It's Wrong!?!

Everybody Is A Part Of The Four Personality Traits!

It's Wrong!

Why Do You Keep Saying That It's Wrong!?!

Because It Is!

Come On!?!

You've Gotta Have A Better Answer Than That!

I Do!

Dear Beloved Friend Of Mine,
May I Please Encourage You
Out Of The Goodness Of Your Heart
To Spill Your Guts And Share The Beans!?!

Well, Since You Were So Polite, I Shall:

They Are Actually 12 Personality Traits In The King James!

You're Such A Liar!
I Thought You Had Something Good To Share!

I Do! I Do!
You're A Christian, Aren't You!?!

Well, Yes!
But Why Do You Ask The Question Like That!?!

Never Mind That!
Jacob-Israel Had 13, 14 Sons!

Wrong! He Only Had 12 Sons, And One Daughter, Dinah!

Wrong!
He Adopted Joseph's Two Sons As His Own Sons!

They Made Up The Two Half-Tribes Of
Ephraim And Manasseh!

Oops, I Forgot That!

When Jacob-Israel Was About To Die
He Gathered His Sons About Him
All 13, 14 Of Them
To Deliver The Blessing! 

Each Blessing Included A Personality Trait!

Oh, My!
I Forgot About That!

Please Try To Keep Up, Okay!?!

Ma'am, Yes, Ma'am!

After Christ Died
Denied And Violently Rejected By His Own People
And 

With The Formation Of The Church
And 

The Opening Of The Blessing To All Peoples Of The World
There Was No More Jew And Other!
No More Covenant-Only-Israel!
There Is Just The Israel Of God!

Apostle Paul Talks About That!

In The Book Of Revelation, Chapter 7
Is 

What Appears To Be A Very Strange Tribe Listing

And

Just So You Know
The Names Of The Tribes Are On The Pearl Gates Of Heaven!

What's So Exciting About That!?!
Gates Have Names! No Biggie!

Tsk! Tsk! Tsk!

What Did I Do!?!
Why Are You Clicking At Me!?!

The God Of Heaven
Is
The God Of Order!

There Are 12 Gates!
12 Gates Equal 12 Entrances

And
There Is An Angel-Guard At Each Gate!
You Don't Just Pick A Gate That You Think You Will Like
Because
The Iridescence Of The Particular Pearl
Appeals To The Former Starving Artist In You
And
Just Jauntily Walk Through It!

The Name Of Gate
Represents A Son
Represents A Personality
Represents The Entrance That
The Over-Comer Of That Trait
Will Enter Into Heaven Through!

But, Wait!
I Just Remembered Something!

There Was A Pronouncement 

By Almighty God 

Against Ephraim, Wasn't There!?!

There Was And His Name Is Not Immortalized Or Memorialized
On Any Of The Entrance Gates Of Heaven!

Ephraim Chose Rank Idolatry 

Over Obedience To The Will Of God
So God Said:

Let Him Alone With His Idols!

No Idolater Will Enter Heaven!

Indeed!
Lucifer Got Kicked Out Of Heaven!

Wasn't There A Problem With Dan As Well!?!

Sure Enough Was!

He Was As A Snake In The Grass!

He Was A Back-Biter!

He Was Like The Heel-Biter ...!

... Satan Bit Jesus Christ's Heel!

Almighty God Doesn't Tolerate That Behavior
And
No One With That Personality Trait Shall Enter Heaven!

Wasn't King Saul A Danite!?!

He Was And He Saw Nothing Good In Any One!
Jealousy Motivated His Actions!

So I Can Take It That Dan's Name Is Also Excluded From
The Gates Of The City!

Right In One!

Something Is Not Adding Up Here:

12 Tribes
Two Half-Tribes Make One Whole Tribe
Two Sons Are Excluded
Joseph's Two Sons Got His Whole Portion

But One Half Is Now Excluded
So Where Or How Is The Short-Fall Corrected!?!

List The Names Of All The Sons:

Reuben
Simeon
Judah
Dan (Excluded)
Asher
Naphtali
Benjamin
Issachar
Ephraim (Half Tribe)(Excluded)
Manasseh (Half Tribe)
Zebulon
Levi
Gad
Joseph

Look At Who Originally Got Land Grants!
Look At Who Did Not Get A Land Grant!
Look At Who Gets A Named-Gate!
Remember Whose Inheritance Was Not Land
But 

The Priesthood!
Remember Who Was Snatched Away From His Father's Love!

I Got It! I Got It!
Levi And Joseph Make Up The Short-Fall!

I've Gotta Run

But 

When You Get A Chance

Take A Good Look At What Each Name

Is Interpreted To Mean!

You'll Be Amazed When The Meanings Are Read Together

In The Light Of The Revelation!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Willful Blindness!?!

Personal Character
And
Living Conduct
- With Nothing Wavering -
Called Profession Of Religion
A. Bold-Faced. Liar.
Politely, Of Course!

He Has Not Kept The Fear Of The Lord Before Him!

Every Body That Was Any Body
That Possessed A Modicum Of Decency
And
Held Aloft Plain Truth
Knew
That The Only Thing That Profession Of Religion Could Prove Was That
He Knew The Inside Of The Church Building
And
Not Very Much Else!

Profession Of Religion Is All Into Forms
Into Fashion
Into Trending Beliefs
Into Profit-Making And Percentages
Into Prestige
And
Into The Cults Of Personality!

Profession Of Religion's High Priest
Is ... Most Assuredly NotJesus Christ The Lord
And
He Has No Use For The Vine
Roots
Branches
The Vine Dressers
NorHush Yuh Mout'
The Husbandman!

For All Practical Aka Profitable Purposes
The Love Of Jesus Christ Does Not Sustain Him!

Profession Of Religion
Is
A SPRP Aka A Spiritual Public Relations Professional ...! 

... And He Real Good 'Bout Spiritedly 
Letting The Publics Know Who Ha'ing Relations!

That That Person's Conduct Is Specious
Is About The Best Only Tribute I Can Pay!

He Has No Back Bone
No Intestinal Fortitude
And
No Gumption
But Always Has A Whole Lotta Gas!

That, That, That .. Person Is All Fronts And Nuh Backs!
Nuff Pretty Talk And Bare Projections.... !

... Salt With No Savor!

Anticipation With No Results!

A Pharisee Who Loves To Decry The Publican
Who Acknowledges His Personal Need Of 
Almighty God's Free-To-All Salvation!

In Short ... 

Profession Of Religion Is Properly Identified As
A Professional Movie-Prop Christian!
He Looks Good In The Scene
But
He Has No Words In The Script
And, YetHe Is Most Often The Spokesperson
The Brand Ambassador
The Point Person
The Rain Maker
And
The Person In The Know Of The Faith Of Jesus Christ!

Sooo, Ask Him What Is His Favorite Bible Text!

Ask Him What The Lord Has Done In His Life!

Ask Him How He Is Blessing The Kingdom Of God!

There No Need To Ask Him Anything!
If You Kick His Paling It Is Going To Fall
And
His Wide-Spreading Breadfruit Tree Has Got Blight
And
The Base Has In A Host Of Those Not Contented With A Lil' Bit
Gi'e We De Whole Enchilada Termites!

Waaaaait!
You Smell Smoke!?!

I Sure Enough Do!

The August Personage Of The Hour Just Came Into View!

Quick! Before He Gets Here!

Doer Of The Word!?!

Yes, Hearer Of The Will!?!

Please Help Me To Be All In Jesus Christ! Marry Me
And Let Us Become One In The Lord!

What Joy That Will Be!

A Thousand Times "YES!"

In The Next Minute ... 

Hello, Profession Of Religion!

Grunt! Grunt!

How Are You Doing This Blessed Day!?!

Grunt! Miserable! Grunt! Hot! Groan! Grunt!

Does He Ever Speak A Whole Answer!?!

He Sure Does ... When He Has Important People To Impress!

Translation: You Don't Measure Up!

Why, Thank You!

Suddenly ... 

The King Is Coming!

Are You Washed And Ready!?!

Coming!?! Coming!?!

Coming Where!?!

He's Coming Here!

Here!?! Here!?! 

Why Was I Not Notified!?!

Everybody Was Notified

Including Straker Who Up And Dead

Sunday-Gone Week!

Something Is Very Wrong Here! 

I'm In Charge Of Church Publicity

So, How Come I Don't Know That About Which You Speak ...! 

... Maybe If Through The Good Book

You Would Let Your Fingers Be As Feet

And

Instead Of Indulging Slander

You Would At Jesus Christ

Have Had A Gander! 

You Would Not Now Be Wondering Why

But, Instead

Would Be Looking Toward The Eastern Sky! 

I Don't Have Time To Indulge Book-Look!

I Don't Have Time The Sky To Look Up!

I'm Busy! Real Busy!

I've Got Great Places To See

And People Very Important To Go To And Know

So Indulging In Things Insignificant

Unimportant

Unedifying

Bank Book Balance Not Multiplying

Is Not How I Choose To Spend My Time Spying! 

You Hear! You Hear! 

It's Just As We Feared! 

The King Is Coming Even As We Speak

And

Only Those Who Are Attired With The Garments 
He Has Generously Provided

Will Enter The Banqueting Arena

His Face To See 
And 
At His Feet In Heartfelt Worship To Fall!

Profession Of Religion, I Beseech You!

Please Heed The True Gospel Call!

I Cannot Now Indulge You! 

In A Rush! 

I Must From You Urgently Depart! 

I Don't Understand This Mindset At All!

How Is It Possible To Be A Believer

But Not A Receiver Of The Good Gifts Given 

By The Eternal Faithful God Of All Grace!?!

Brethren, Beware! 

This Mindset Is Only Possible

When Belief In The Lord Christ

Is

An Expedient!

A "Useful Idiot" If You Will

That Serves The Selfish Purpose Of The One

Who Desires The Cure

But

Won't Take The Pill! 

Wow! 

I Like That Analogy!

Blessings Without Confession And Repentance! 

Health And Cure Without Forsaking Sin! 

Treasure In Heaven Without Denying Self, Sin And Satan! 

A Seat At The Banqueting Table

Without A Personal Knowledge

And

The Intimate Walk With Our Only Savior, Lord And Holy God! 

Brethren,

Please Listen To Me!

Profession Of Faith Is Not Possession Of Faith!

Being Religious Does Not Make You A Christian Saved! 

All Light Is Not Illuminating!

All Help Does Not Provide Hope!

And

Not All Who Cry Out "Lord! Lord!" 

Shall Enter The Kingdom Of God!

In Short ... 

Work Out Your Own Soul's Salvation 
With Holy Fear And Trembling

And

Leave Willful Sin Alone: It Has Its Own Reward!
