Sweet Life Don't, Can't, Won't Last!?!

Between Psalm 73 And Psalm 92
Something Most Profound Is Exposed
And
All We Who Believe, Trust
Honor, Worship, Praise
And
Obey The True And Living Holy God
Should, To It, Pay Attention Most Close!

The Life Of Riley ...

Fat, Flush, And Flourishing
Impervious To Penury
Having No Desire The Creator To Please
The Wicked Man "Prayers" Are For A Continual Round Of Pleasure
And
Gratitude Is Lavished ... On 

The Weight Of Their Vast Treasure!

Choices, Chances: Sin Or Salvation ...

There Is A Limit To Mercy!
There Is A Limit To Grace!
There Is A Limit To The Arrogance
The Disobedience Of Man
And
To How Long You May Shake Your Fist In His Face
And Tell The Almighty
To Talk To Your Hand!

Chin Up ...

Often We As Christians Wonder How!?!
Why!?!
How Long!?!
As We Do All We Can To Please The Master
And
We Are By Life Severely Molested
And
Rabid Sinners, Wicked, Most Proud
Do All To Incur The Eternal's Judgment Frown
And, Yet They Sail Through Life
Unmolested, Unscathed
Free ... For A Bawdy House Song!

Can't You Feel The "But" Coming ...

In All The Changing Scenes Of Time
Of Life
Man Arrogant, Wicked
May Act All Sublime
But
Time Is Terminal
And
Real Life Is Real Short
And
It Is Sure That
The Living God Will Vindicate His Name
His Character
Himself
And
All Who Doubt His Deliverance
Should Ask Moses, Job, Jacob-Israel

Joseph, David, Elijah
All Types Of Christ
And
Jesus Christ The Lord, Himself!

The "Sweet Life" Of Sin Don't, Can't, Won't, Last! 

Only Those Survive Who Upon The Rock Of Ages
Their Lot Is Cast
And
If You See The Wicked

Relishing The Unfairly Gained Prosperity

Look, Brethren
At Psalm 92 And Psalm 73!

Your Heart Will Beat Free!

Think About It ...

The End Had A Beginning!
The Beginning Has An End
And
Man With Impunity
Cannot
The Lord Of Life
- Unchallenged -
Continue To Offend
So Rest Assured You Who Tremble
You Who Wonder, Wail, And Cry
God Almighty Glorious
Shall See To It That No Created Being
Shall Ultimately Prosper By Flagrant Disobedience
As They, His Will And Ways Deny, Defy!

Comeuppance Is Coming!
The Day Of Rewards 

Is 

On The Wing
So Dwell Not On The Prosperity Of The Wicked
For Their Day Of Damnation Is Coming
As Will Your Day Of Rejoicing!

The Presently Puffed Up, Bold Wicked

Will Be Utterly Cast Down

And
Into Outer Darkness Cast Out
And
The True And Faithful

Presently Cast Off, Cast Down 

Will Be Utterly Lifted Up, Raised Up
To The Land Of Light And Beauty
Where Righteousness Dwells
Where Peace Is Perfect
Whereon Shall Stand By Right
The Elect Of The Almighty God!

So, Turn Ye, Turn Ye
Turn Ye Away From Self Unto Salvation!
Look Up Not In!
Look Out Not Down!
Look Unto Jesus Christ The King
And
You ... Enduring All For Love Of Him
Shall Walk On Streets Of Gold
And
Wear A Presented By His Holy Hand
A Custom-Made Imperishable Gold Crown!

Let The Bold Wicked Enjoy Their Time-Bound Parties 

And 

Sure To Rust Trophies!
Sweet Life
- The Godless Life -
In The Stream Of Things And Time
Does Not Last Very Long!

Listen To A Life And Times Story ...

Once Upon A Time
- Every Good Story Starts There -
There Was On The Olde Farm
A Producer And A Consumer!

To The Uninitiated
There Was A Grey Donkey And A Pink Pig!

The Donkey Used To Labor Under Load
Collecting Copious Amounts Of Food
To Feed The Fat And Flourishing Pig!
The Hog! 

That Hog Used To Laugh
Calling Donkey By His Real Name, Ass
Whenever With A Load Of Food
He Would By His Sty, Straining, Pass!

This Continued Unremittingly For Months!

Well, Well, Well!
What Do You Know!?!

One Sabbath-Breaker's Market Day
Ass Rolled Up ... Real Early!
He Had No Food That Day
And
It Was A Shock To Hog That
Instead Of Food Being Loaded Off
He, His Sousy Self

Was Being Loaded Up
And
He Nearly Had A Heart-Attack
And
A Bi-Hemispheric Stroke
When Ass Began To Laugh And Said, Ironically:

Sunday To Friday Was Back-Breaking Work For Me

But A Feeding-Frenzy For You! 

Well, My Well-Fed, Flush And Flourishing

Unkind And Arrogant Not-Friend

This Saturday Is For You

And At The Butcher

You Fat, Overfed, Gluttonous Fool

This Very Hour

You Shall Meet Your End!

Sweet Life Don' Last!

At Your Sorry Plight, I Can't Even Sincerely Laugh!

So Much For Me Living Life On The Side Distaff!

You're Not Going To Enjoy Your Last Bath!

Brethren,

Work For Truth!

Don't Wonder At The Wicked!

Night Is Coming!
The Lord Christ Is Coming!

And
Pay Day Is Coming!
What's On You Time-Card!?!
What Will Be Your Sure Reward!?!

Be Encouraged ...

Live By The Living Word!
There Is Sanctuary In The Living Word Of God
So Do Not Be By Sight, By Feelings, Dismayed
Because
For A Man's Works
- Man's Performed Work -
He Shall Surely Be Paid!

Do Not Permit Yourself

- Like A Cheap Flute - 

By Satan 

To Be Played!

Do Not Permit Yourself

By Sin To Be Slayed!

THE PLAN: Truth Stands!

Heyyyy, Bonitz!
Long Time No See!
How Are You Doing!?!

I'm Good, Carey!?!
What About You!?!

I'm Doing Well

And I'm Praising God, And Grateful!

I Haven't Seen You At Church Lately!
Are Things Okay!?!

Things Are Going Well!
I Have A New Church Family
And I'm Having Loads Of Fun!

New Church Family!?!
What Do You Mean!?!

You Haven't Heard!?!

Heard!?!

Heard What!?!

We All Go Down To CCM!

CCM!?!
Never Heard Of It!

You Must Be Kidding!?!
Girl, It's The Fastest Growing Ministry
In These Parts
With Standing Room Only For All The Services!

Really!?!
Please Tell Me More
And Start With That Name!
CCM Sounds Kinda Catchy!

CCM Stands For Cafeteria Church Ministries And ...!

... That Pastor Must Have Been Seriously Ragged
Growing Up With A Name Like That!

Oh, No!
You're Mistaken!
The Pastor's Name Is Idetentee Jusso!
Cafeteria Is Cafeteria As In Food Service
Make Your Selections
Pay Your Bill
Take A Seat!
Enjoy Your Meal!

Huh!?!

Seriously!
We Decide What We Want To Hear
When We Want To Hear It
How We Want To Hear It
And
To Our Individual Tastes And Temperaments
We're Suitably Edified:

No Hurt Feelings!
No Guilt Trips!
No Fear Of Flames!
Total Inclusivity!
Rainbow Warriors!
Personal Truth!
Authentic Living!
No Sinners!
All Saints!
No Sin!
All Salvation!
Common Good!
It's Amazing, And I Love It!

You Would!

Pardon Me!?!

Oh, My! That Doesn't Sound Good!
Uh, Which Bible Are You Using!?!

We Don't Use A Bible Bible!
We Have A Good Book Of Great Truths
With Daily Affirmations
And Selected Messages From
All The World's Great Religions!
After All, All God's Are Equal!

Wow!
That Sounds Like ...!
I Wonder What The Spirit Is Like In Your Service!

Girl, It's Off The Chain!
Everybody Is Happy, Excited, Laughing
Rocking, Running
And So, So, Very Loving!
Miracles Abound!

Signs And Wonders!

You Hit The Nail On The Head!
Signs And Wonders Always Appear
And Pastor 'Tee Always Gets A Word 
And A Wonder From On High
Whenever He Sits
In The Great White Throne Chair!

Achooo! ACHOOO!

Bless You!

I Feel A Cold Coming On!

Are You Still Praying!?!

Oh, No!
We Are One With Our Lord
So There Is No Need To State The Obvious!

So Oblivious!

You Mean Obvious!

No, I Said What I Meant!
You Are So Very Oblivious To The Truth!
You've Broken The Trust
And
Your Carnal Lust Is Propelling You!

You Once Claimed Christ As Savior
Lord And Master
And, Now
Instead Of Progressing
You're Making Retrograde Steps!

You're Letting A Charlatan
Tickle Your Fancy
Tickle Your Ears
And
You're Indulging Raging Lusts
Instead Of For Heaven
Getting Yourself Prepared!

Did Not The Lord Christ Warn Us
To Not Let Anyone Deceive Our Souls!?!
Did Not The Savior Warn Us
That Satan Does Appear
As An Angel Of Light
Wearing Bright And White Clothes!?!

Don't You Know That We Are Not To Be Comfortable
Living In Sin And Loving Self And Sin!?!

Don't You Remember That
In Order To Withstand A Spiritual Attack
That To The Savior
We Must Stay Attached!?!

Answer A Question For Me:

What Is Your Pastor Ideetentee's Definition Of Sin!?!

What, Exactly, Do You Mean By Sin!?!

Lord, Preserve Me!
Okay, Okay!
What Is YOUR Definition Of Sin!?!

My Idea Of Sin Is Unique To Me!
What Is Sin To You Is Not Sin To Me!
My Experience In My Personal Life
Determines How My Traumatized Child
Manifests Now In My Adult Life
And Is, Therefore, Subjective
Hence, For Me
There Is Nothing Called Sin To Infect
To Restrict 
The Actions Of My Life!
Only Self Can Define What Is Sin!

Ahhhm, Where Is Jesus Christ In All Of This!?!

What About HIS Definition Of Sin!?!

Oh, That Definition Was Fine Back Then
But We Are Evolved
And Knowledge Has Increased!
We Do Whatever Makes Us Happy!
No Harm: No Foul!

We Have Run To And Fro Around The World
And A Consensus By The Great Minds Has Been Reached:

• Take Care Of Mother Earth
• Have Respect To Father Time
• Be Kind To Our Animal Brothers And Sisters
• Do Lots Of Good Works, And
•  Laud Self Above Everything

We Are No More Slaves!
We Are Sure To Do What Makes Us Happy!

Jesus, Savior, Pilot Me!!
Lord, Please Give Me Strength!

You Are Being Deceived And You Know It!

There Is No Man Comfortable In Sin
That Is At Peace With The Holy God!
You Are Playing With Fire
For You Are Shacking Up With King Fraud!

I Know That You Are A Parent!
Would You Give Your Child Whatever It Wants
Encouraging It To Do Whatever It Pleases
Including Living Wild
Ignoring The Obvious Rules Of The Road
Oblivious To Certain Peril
Just Because Desire Is Always To Be Satisfied!?!

Of Course Not!
That Would Be Very Foolish Indeed!

Dear God And Father Of Mankind,
Forgive Our Foolish Ways!

Please Tell Me, Then
In The Name Of All That's Holy
How You Can Think To Do An End-Run
Around The Living God
Your Father Which Is In Heaven
And
Get Away With It!?!

The Lord Has Given Us Rules For The Road
The Right Way To Live
How To Be
What We Can And Can't Do
How To Come
How To Go
What To See
What To Know
Because
We Will Be Reaping That Which We Sow!

Remember The Word:

No Man Can Stay The Hand Of God 

Who Is The Righteous Judge 

And 

Faithful Paymaster Of Us All! 

Has The Good Life

In This Happy Place That You Are Inhabiting

Caused You To Forget That

There Is No Changing Of Status

No Second Probation

And 

No Do-Overs After Death

Nor After Christ Comes!?! 

Uh, Ah, Umm ...! 

What's Wrong!?!
Have You Lost Your Mind And Your Tongue Also!?! 

I, Uh, Ahmmm ...! 

What's The Matter With You!?!

Come On! Speak Up!

I, I, Can't! 

I'm Soooo Unhappy! 

Please Help Me! 

But You Just Said How Happy You

And You Were Gushing About

All The Fun You're Having

With Your New Church Family!?! 

I Know ... I Lied ...! 

Come And Let's Sit On The Veranda

And You Can Tell Me The Truth! 

Oh, Dear! 

You're Not Going To Like It! 

If You Say So

But Tell Me Anyhow! 

45 Minutes Hours Later ... 

Bonitz, Please Listen To Me Carefully:

A Fire Too-Hot
Too Fast
Too Furious
Always Has An Accelerant!

A Christian Too Righteous
Too Religious
Knowing It All In One Day
And
Being Too Blessed To Be Stressed
Always Having The Sure

And 

Perfect Words For Self And Other's Answered Prayer
Also Has An Accelerant
And
Is Not Guaranteed To Go The Distance
Because Of A Thing Called Emotionalism!

Since Salvation Is A Process
- The Work Of A Lifetime - 
Emotionalism Is Not Going To Survive
The Upward Climb
Where Slow And Steady
Grace And Mercy
Faith And Work
Obedience
Defiance Of The Devil
And
His Pretty Works
And
The Slow And Steady Day By Day Plodding
Is 
An Endurance Walk 

And
Not A Buggy Race
For The Exertion Averse
Is 
The Only Thing That Works!

There Is Only One God Holy! 

The Other "Gods" Of The Earth Are False

And 
Can Never - Will Never -
Be Equal To The Eternal God! 

What Is Ours To Know Us
Is
Plainly Revealed In The Living Word ... Preserved

By The High And Holy Hand Of The Eternal God

And

Anyone Who Adds To The Word

Or Takes Away From The Word Of Almighty God

Is

By Almighty God Cursed! 

Revelation 22 Makes That Clear

And

The Wisest Man In Proverbs 30:6 Makes That Abundantly Plain! 

Miracles And Signs And Wonders

Are Not To Be Taken As Proof Of

Almighty God's Favor Or Approval! 

Satan Has The Power To Work Miracles

To Agitate Nature 

The Weather
- The Book Of Job Proves That -

And

Within The Boundaries Decided By The Living God

He Can Destroy A Person's Health

Wellbeing

And

Prosperity! 

Understand And Accept This ...

The Lord God Cannot

Will Not 

Stretch The Truth Or Tell A Lie

To Get You To Believe In Him

Or To Trust Him! 

In The Economy Of God

It Is All About Faith! 

You've Been ... Unwisely

Trusting In Your Lying Eyesight

And

Overwrought Emotions

And

You Have Permitted A Real Charlatan

A Wise-Acre Hustler

A True Con-Artist

To Relieve You Of A Goodly Portion Of 
Your Parents' Hard-Earned Money!

The Lord Had No Mansion

No Big Ride

No Servants

No Bank Account

And

He Did Not Speak With A Forked Tongue

Or Encourage His Followers

To Finance His Speculative Interests

Since He Had None! 

The People Of God

Need To Be Wise As Serpents

And

Harmless As Doves! 

There Are No Fools In The Kingdom Of God! 

Do You Realize
Do You Know That There Is
Joy And Peace In Believing The Living Word
The Choice Promises Of God!?!

Do You Recognize
Do You Accept That
When You Stand Aka Believe
And
Live In The Security
The Protection Of The Word Of God
That There Is No Created Being That
Can Cause You To Fret
To Be Anxious
To Be Afraid
To Doubt
To Disbelieve
That All Things
- Good, Bad, Ugly, Painful, Hurtful, Wicked -
Work Together For The Good Of
Those Of Us Who Are The Called
According To His Purpose!?!

The Lord Is Calling You!
Are You Answering!?!

I Am Trying ...!

When We Recognize That
This Life Isn't About Our Selfish Desires
That We Are Here In Boot Camp
Preparing For A Can't-Fail Mission
Under The Leadership Of A Can't-Lose Commander
Against A Can't-Win Adversary
For The Assured Glorious Prize
Aka The Purchased Redemption
We Walk Like Winners
We Talk Like Winner
We Live Like Winners
We Live Like Overcomers
We Live Like Saints ... Blessed
Bold
Bought
Believing
Bound ... For The Promised Land!

Jesus Christ Promised
Jesus Christ Bled And Died
Jesus Christ Got Up And Rose Up
Jesus Christ Is Preparing A Place
Jesus Christ Is Interceding
And
Jesus Christ Is Coming Back ... For Us
Who Believe His Word
Trust His Character
Live In His Light
Keep All His Commandments
Bless Him By Blessing Others
Telling The Good News
And
Are Washing Our Clothing
- Our Character -
In His Blood
Shed For Every Man!

Almighty God Is Ever Good ...

It Took A Miracle
And
It Requires Our Faith ... Believe Him 

... And Live!

Trust Him At His Word ... And Obey
Because
He Helps ... And Heals!
He Saves ... And Seals!
He Leads ... And Reveals!
He Opens ... And Closes!
He Knocks
And
He Ably Protects All His Flocks
In All The Various Congregations
And
He Is Assembling Them ... Us
His Children
His Brethren
Into The One ... The Only
Safe And Secure Fold!

Hurray For Woolly Sheep ...

A Lil' Faith Goes A Long Way
And
That Lil' Faith ... Exercised
Grows Into The Unwavering Faith
That Shall See Us Safely Esconced
In The Eternal Home!

There's Always A Hairy Goat ...

A Lil' Doubt 

Is 

Like Active Yeast:

It Changes The Structure Of Faith
And
Belief!
It Erodes Confidence In The Glorious King
And
Robs One Of The Peace Of God
The Likes Of Which
There Is No Counterfeiting
No Faking!

Sweet Girl, You've Got Some Hard Questions To Honestly Answer! 

Where Do You Stand!?!
Upon Whom Will You Henceforth Rely!?!
Are You Among The Kingdom Bound
Or
Are You Among The Wafflers
The Fence-Jockeys
The Doubters Damned
Those Flattered, Filled, And Fatted
On The Lust Of The Flesh
The Lust Of The Eye
The Pride Of Life
Those Who ... In The Day Of Vengeance
To The Rocks And Hills Shall
Uselessly Cry!?!

Truth Stands ...

Blessedly ... For Us All

U-Turns Are Permitted

Encouraged

In The Lives Of Those Who Finally See The Light!

Confession And Repentance Are Blessed Gifts
In The Lives Of Those Who Desire Spiritual Success! 

Don't Be Among The Helpless

The Hopeless,  The Hapless!
Jesus Christ Is Righteous
Reigning, Ruling, Returning
And
Only Those Standing 

Living And Abiding In His Love
Shall On The Wings Of The Wind
To Zion Be Riding!

It's Time With The Lord Christ To Be Siding!

I Can Now Honestly Say That I Agree!

AMEN!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: A VERY GOOD DAY: Truth!

Next On Trial Is Truth!

Yeahhhhh! I Can't Stand Him!

Hang Him High!

Bury Him Deep!
He Needs To Be Put Down More Than Six Feet!

Truth, A Solemn Character

Stood Firm ... Dignified
Unwavering
Unruffled

Unconcerned

Unimpeachable!

He Needed No Lawyer
No high Price Legal Team
Had No Hangers On

And
No Entourage About His Presence To Fawn!

Lemme Holler At You ...

If You Give Yourself The Chance
Truth Will Grow On You
And
If You're Not Prejudiced Against Principles Deeply Held
You Will See That Truth Is Amazingly Beautiful

And

His Words Are Deeep!

If I Do Say So Myself
If You Will Listen And Really Hear
You Will Recognize That
Truth's Voice Soothes!
Truth Sincerely Edifies!

His Words Are Not Pie In The Sky!

Truth Is So Uplifting
So Ennobling
So En Pointe
That When You Truly Get Into Truth
You, Yourself, Get Into Truth!
No Lie!

He Doesn't Ever Raise His Voice!
He Is Never Ever Cross!
No One Attached To Truth Has Ever A Battle Lost
And
All Who Dare To Stand With Him
Shall ... By Appointment
Inherit And Enjoy
That That Is Eternal Youth

Purchased For Us

By Christ Jesus On Calvary's Cruel Cross!

I Don't Like Truth!
He Doesn't Do Half-Measures!

He's By The Book
And For The Son Who Is Pertinent 

To The Life Of Every One
And He Desires, Demands, Full Capitulation!
Anything Less
And From His Side You Must Run!

He Doesn't Seem To Understand The Concept Of
Tek A Lil' Bit And Praise God!

Pardon Me For Listening To Your Convo
But
That "Tek Lil' Bit And Praise God!" Remark
Isn't Going To Work For Truth
Because
Truth Is In The Eternal Employ Of
The Father And The Son!

He Is A Foundation Stone
And
He Does Not With Imposters, Poseurs
Liars, Cheats
Back-Door Creeps, Side-Winders
Back-Stabbers, Nor Loss-Leaders
Indulge In The Much-Vaunted Meet And Greet!

Who Asked Your Opinion!?!

Not A Soul!
This Is Your Lucky Day!
My Advice Is Free!
It Is As Gold!

Who Are You!?!

Glad You Asked!
My Name Is Faith!
Some People Call Me Hope!
I Wish You'd Just Call Me!
I Give People A Way With Life To Cope!

I've Heard About You!
You're Just As Bad As Truth ...!

... You Always Want All-In Cooperation!

What's With You People
And This Want It All Mentality!?!

Life Is Shaded
Black To White
Grey In Twilight
Orange, Blue, Green, Purple, Yellow!
Can't You Spot Some Slack
To A Weary, Wondering, Wandering, Fellow!?!

Can't Do It!
Won't Work! Can't Work!
That Thinking Is Flawed!

You Need To Grab Faith ... That's Me
And

Wisely Approach Truth ... Over There
And
Your Weary, Wondering, Wandering

- Destination Indeterminate -
Shall Immediately Cease!

Truth Frees!
Faith Heals!
Truth Combined With Faith
On The Path To The Good Life
Unerringly Reveals
The One Who Seals
Man 

Against The Madness Of Sin
And
Guides One To The Beautiful City
Where Only Those With The Perfect Right
May Really Boldly Walk On In!

Not Long Thereafter ...

Pervy!?!

Yes, Crystal Myth!?!

You Wanna Help Me Extricate Truth
From That Swing-Top Trash Bin!?!

You Know I Don't Want To
But ... I Must! 

I Will!
I Suddenly Have An Opening In My Calendar!
Truth Has Unexpectedly Become Relevant
So I, Instead, Have Time To Kill!

I Hope You Know That When You Kill Time
It Is Dead Time
Not Replaceable
Not Retrievable!

If You Mash It Up
There Is No Buy-Back
So You May Want To Take Back
Your Kill-Order Thrill!

Tatsy!?!

Yeah, Patsy!?!

It Must Be Terrible To Not Know An Irony
A Turn Of Phrase
A Play On Words!

Your Mumsy Must Have Dropped You On Your Head, Patsy!

Well, Yes, She Accidentally Did
But I Don't Get Your Drift!

Well, Let Me Spell It Out For You:

Truth And Faith Don't Play
And For Certain Sure
They Don't Play Games! 

Their Mission Isn't About Fun
Games, Fancy, Fantasy
Folly Nor Frolics!

They Deal In Eternal Pursuits!
Your Tiny Mind Deals In Time!

Okay, Okay!
No Need To Shout!
I Believe I Shall Have A Parlay
And Pick Them To Hear What Their
Book Of Doctrines Say!

Thank The Lord That For Words Of Wisdom
You Shall Surely Not Pay!

I Didn't Expect It
But Against All Odds
Today Has, Indeed, Been A Very Good Day!

Live With Truth

And

Practice Faith

And

Every Day With Jesus Christ

Will Be A Blessed, Blessed, Good Day!!

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

Trust Truth ... And Pray In Faith!!

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

Thought For The Week Ahead:

Only One With A Surrendered Will, Will Virtuously Wait On The All-Wise, All-Seeing, All-Knowing, Ever-Present, Feeling All Things, Holy God Who Blesses Abundantly! Will Your Will, Consumedly, Lovingly, Embracing Truth, And Death-Grippingly Clutching Faith, Enduringly Wait, Watch, And Work While Walking On The Strait And Narrow Way To Glory Unimagineable!?!
