JESUS CHRIST'S CHRISTIANITY: The Two-Fold ... Not Two-Faced ... Life!

Silent Prayer

And

Earnest Work

Live Wisely In The Two-Fold Life!

They Are Living What 
Is 
The Ideal Life Of The Committed Christian

Willingly Redeeming The Time

And

Eagerly Indulging Both Thought And Action!

They Are Living The Life Oft' Rejected 
By Such As Scoff At The Idea That

There Are Such Things As The Mortal Strife

Or The Sin Life

Or The Faith Life

Or The Life Of A Saint Of God And Christ

Or That A Sinner Born And Known

Has "Need" Of Repentance

Has A "Need' To Confess

Has A "Need' Of Forgiveness

And

Get Outta Here

Jesus Christ's Promised Sin-Cleansing!

To Those Unregenerate Minds

One Does Not Clean What One's Illuminated Mind
Does Not Call Dirty!

You Know, Educated, Learned, Man

Can Seriously Act Totally Asinine
With Little To No Provocation!

They Think 
So That Means That They Are Dot Dot Dot! 

I Agree!

I Was Once Of That Peculiar Breed

Who Deftly Chooses Not To Believe

In The Creator ... The Savior

The Redeemer ... The Friend

The Lord, The Eternal God

The Frowning Judge Of All Men!

I Be'n There!

I Done That!

I Walked Like A Fat Rat

Until A Sleek Cat With Sharp Claws

Had Me On My Back

At Which Time ...In Anguish Of Soul

I Cried Unto The Saving God

And

He Being Kind, Faithful And Able

And
Not Holding A Grudge For My Vociferous Neglect 

Sent An Angel Excelling In Strength 

To Free Me ... Really Free Me

From The Jaws ... The Claws Of Imminent Death

As Was The Object ... The Final Solution Of That One Unholy

Who Desires The Worship That Is Reserved For

That Is The Domain Of

The True And Living, Holy, Creator
Savior, Sustainer, Redeemer God!

It's Amazing What Happens 
When One Sees The LightThat Is Only Observable

When One Is In A For-Life Fight

When One Sees That There Is No Way Out

Save By Calling Upon The One Whom ... Prior

We Wittingly, Unwisely, Wayward-Thinking

Chose Boldly To Shamelessly Doubt!

Doubt 

Is 

Dastardly And Dangerous

And

Leads Us Into Temptation

That Sweet Treat ... Distributed By The Devil

Which Causes Us ... Against Christ's Righteousness

Foolishly To Cavil!

I Saw The Ship To Damnation's Sail!

I Saw Myself Looking At The Hangman's Veil!

I Had A Tiger By The Tail

And A Venomous Snake In A Short Pail

And I Was Lighting A Rocket

Even As I Sat Atop It!

Oh, Stop It!

I Kid You Not!

Fright Turns On Flood Lights

Putting Sin's Tattoo In Plain Sight

And

That Light Causes One To Think Fast

And Discern Quick

And

Call In The Now-Acknowledge Creator God 

Who Created Me
And
The Elephant

The Harpy Eagle

And
The Deer Tick!

That Surely Puts Paid To Evolution Right Quick!

I'm Telling You The Truth!
I Didn't Know How To Pray Until I Prayed Then!

I Didn't Recognize That I Was Thinking

Until I Saw What The Thought Produced!

I Didn't See The Need For Earnest Work

Until My Paycheck Was Presented

And

I Didn't Know I Needed The Savior

Until Satan Almost Had Me Completely Marked As 
Prime Meat For His Mortal-Death 
And
Eternal-Damnation Stew!

You, Too!?!

In Distress

I Finally Had Time To Think Of My Creator

His Creation

And

His Gifts To Me ...!

... You Had To Go There!

Did You Really Have To Go There!?!

A Man Can't Kick Against The Pricks

And Remain Comfortable!

Tell Me About It!

Remember The Parable Of Jesus

And That Phrase ...! 

... Occupy Till I Come! 
We Are Not Working For Our Selves!

Note That He Did Not Say

Do What Thrills Your Selfish Heart! 

But He Did Say That

He Is Coming Back! 

The Day Of Small Things! 

Yup!
The Settling Of Final Accounts! 

Brethren, 

Let's Take This To Heart! 

Jesus Christ 
Is 
The Master Who ... Before Going Away
Has Given To Us ...His Servants

Each One Of Us ... Individually

A Pound ... A Talent

To Be Used In His Service 
So That When He Shall Return

He Shall Receive His Investment ... With Usury
Interest
Aka Expected Profit! 

Every Human Being 
Has Received At Least One Talent From Almighty God 
And

We All Have Been Given Time! 

Let's Honestly Answer These Questions:

How Are You Using Your Time!?! 

For What And For Whom 
Are You Using Your God-Given Talents!?! 

I Believe The Answers Will Be Quite Surprising! 

We Are To Occupy ... Work 

Diligently And Conscientiously

Until Jesus Returns! 

Here's Another Set Of Questions 
To Ask Yourself And, Again, Honestly Answer: 

Will You Have A Good Report!?! 

Will The Lord Say To You 

"Well Done, Good And Faithful Servant!" 

Or

"Depart From Me!
I Never Knew You!?!" 

The Christian Life Is Made For Growing ... Gracefully

In The Favor Of The Eternal God

And

Time Is Made For Change

For Us ... Being Enduringly Willing
To Assimilate The Holy Character Of 
Jesus Christ The Lord!

I Sincerely Pray That We

- Made Wise By Bitter, Painful, Experience -

Will Permit The Holy Spirit Of Truth

To Be Our Guide Today ... And Always

As We Choose To Faithfully Bless The Lord 
With Our Time And Talents! 

Talents Used Are Multiplied! 

So, Then, We Are Back At The Point Of Beginning! 

Indeed! 

Silent Prayer ...!

... And Earnest Work! 

It's The Profitable Way To Live

And 
To Get To Eternal Living! 

AMEN!!! 

HIDDEN FROM MAN: Open To Almighty God!

Too Doubtful To Dare Have Faith!
Too Faithless To Will To Endure!
Too Worried To Have Trust In God
But
Oh, So Willing
To Embrace The Willful Ways Of
The Fraud Who Wants The Worship
Due To The Eternal God!

Too Proud To Be Humble!
Too Vain To Be Wise
And
Too Wayward And Willful To See 
How Wicked Are Satan's Base And Bold Lies!

Too Sharp-Tongued To Consider
That Man Must Account For His Words!
Too Angry To Consider That
Unchecked Emotions Sharpens Swords!

Too Wasteful To Even Wonder
What Want Is To Those Who Have None!
Too Callous-Minded To Wonder
If Contemplated Actions Are Whispers From
The Evil Mind Of That Devil, Satan!

Too Wild To Exercise Will-Power!
Too Weak-Willed To Deny Self!
Too Selfish To Think Of Others
But
Wantonly Demanding The Satisfaction Of Personal Desire
Even While Knowing That That Desire
Always Leads To Torment's Blazing Fire!

But ... 

There Is A But That Puts A Period To Known Sin
And
All Who Choose To Follow Self
And
Walk In The Shadows ... In The Darkness 
With Him Who Dishonored Almighty God
And
Denigrated And Demeaned
Tormented And Murdered
The Father's Only Begotten Son
And
Sowed The Seeds Of Discontent
Disobedience, Destruction And Death
Jealousy, Envy, Greed, Hate
Murden, Mendacity, Mediocrity
Hedonism, Idolatry
False Oaths, False Witness
Sorrow And Pain
Shall Never Know Jesus Christ's Salvation
Which, Always, Is Eternal Gain!

Rich ... In Trespasses ...

Think And Do ... Wrong!
Do Wrong And Be ... Damned
Damned To Eternal Separation
Permanent Darkness ... Nothingness
Never, Ever, Seeing The Eternal Goodness
The Eternal Light
The Light That Heals And Seals!

Rich ... In Jesus Christ The Lord ...

Think ... And Pray ... And Do ... Right!
Do Right And Be ... Blessed
Blessed To Live For Eternal Ages
Glorified, Immortalized
In Eternal Peace 
With The Holy One Who Is Our Peace
Who Gives Us His Peace
In This Present Evil Age
A Peace That Passes Human Understanding
So That We Do Not With Satan Rage
Disgracing The Holy Name
The Name Above All Names
That Does Not, Cannot, Will Not
Ever Cause The Believer ... The Faithful Saint
To Know Or Feel Ashamed!

Think About The Lord Christ ...

There's Sunlight, Daylight
Twilight, Moonlight 
And 
Electric Light And More
But 
There Is No Light More Necessary 
To The Life Of Man Than The Light Of Life
The Sun Of Righteousness
The Son Of The Living God
Jesus Christ The Lord
The Life Of Every Man! 

Jesus Christ The Righteous
- Into Whose Hands Is Given All Things -
Sees, Knows, And Feels All Things

And 

Is In Everything 

And 

There Is Nothing That We Hide From Man 
That Is Not Known To Him! 

You May Hide And Buy Land

But You Can't Hide And Reap It!

If What You're Doing Must Be Hidden From Man

Then It Is Time To Stop Doing It! 
Jesus Christ Is Our Judge 

And 

He Knows The Answers To All The Questions
That You Will Have To Answer
So You Can't Lie To Him! 

I Beseech You, Brethren,

Do The Good 
And The Right 
And Walk In The Son's Light 
To Be Saved And Blessed! 

Humble Yourself
And 
Live Abundantly ... Now
To Live Gloriously ... Later
And
Forever! 

If Someone Cannot Give You True Bread

Do Not Permit Them To Take

Your Known, Tried And Tested Biscuit

From Almighty God

Out Of Your Needy Mouth!

A Little Bit

Gratefully Received

 From The True And Living God

And

By Faith Eaten ... Utilized

In The True Light

*** With Contentment ***

Is

Pure Gold

When Compared To

The Mountains Of Pyrite

- Fool's Gold -

- The Dust Of Disobedience -

Used To Indulge Sin

Received From The Accursed Hand

Of

Satan The Damned

Who Cannot Create

And

Who Only Destroys!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Obey

All Who Will Submit Their Personal Will 

To The Will Of The Eternal God 
Walk Willingly In All His Ways 
For They Have The Obedient Heart
The Willing Spirit ... Just As The Lord Christ Had
 When He Walked Among Us! 

Obedience Is Better Than Sacrifice!
Faith Is Better Than Doubt!
Light Is Better Than Darkness!
Truth Is Better Than Error
And 
Salvation Is Better Than Sin! 

I Hear That!

I Know That For A Fact!

I Can Recall Those Times
When For This Necessary Knowledge
I Seriously Had A Lack!

Understand This ...

Wisdom Tells Us Plainly That
Jesus Christ Saves Only The Repentant 
So Let Not Be Prideful! 
Let Us Be Humble 
And 
Grateful ... For Grace
And 
Let Us Yield To The Holy Spirit's Loving Call!

With Enduring-All Faith
Let Us Lovingly And Humbly Bow Before The Holy One

The Lord Who Is Almighty God And 
Without Exception
Expect To Be Eternally Blessed!

Walking With Jesus Christ Leads To Rare Reward! 
His Glory Awaits! 

Since No One Knows Tomorrow
Or What Each New Day Will Bring
Think Deeply Upon This, Brethren
And
With Faith In Jesus Leading
Let Your Heart For Our Lord Christ Sing:

What A Blessing To The Heart 

To Directly, Positively, Know That Our God

The Creator Of All Things Seen And Unseen
Known And Unknown

Is 

Joyful

And 

Sings Over Us 

Even Though We Caused Him Sorrow And Pain ...!

... And Some Of Us Are Still Doing It!

Just Make Sure That You Are Not Amongst Them!

Indeed!

Imagine, If You Will
The Rejoicing That Takes Place In Heaven
When One Of Us Departs From Sinning 

And 

Walks In The Way Of Grace Unto Christ's Salvation! 

Imagine ... By Working Faith

The Lord's Face 

And 

His Voice Singing With Joy ... Just For You

His Well-Beloved Child

Who Has Chosen To Walk By His Side

And 

Let Yourself Be Guided And Comforted

By This Blessed Knowledge Today And Always! 
I Love You
But
The Lord Jesus Christ Loves You The Very Best!
May His Peace Be Your Rest!

HAPPY SABBATH + Sentimental Christian!?! + PRAYER: We Need You, Father!

Sentimental Christian

Gives Off A Certain Sulphurous Stench!

Sentimental Christian

Does Not Believe In Helping

The Known-Sinner To Get Out Of Sin's Trench!

Sentimental Christian

Is 
All About The Feels And The Pretty Words

And 
Having Chosen The Path Of Least Resistance
Blissfully Seems Not To Realize That His Actions ... Inactions

Make Him A Member Of The Disobedient Wild-Goat Herd!

In Keeping With His Tainted Idea Of
The Meek And Gentle Christ-Like Image
And
The Love-Alone, All-Accepting, Non-Judgmental God
And
Speaking With Trussed-Up Confidence
And
Feigned Humility

Sentimental Christian Maddeningly Mouths

 "What Must Must, Must Must!"
"Let's Mind Our Own Business!"

"Let's Go Along To Get Along!"

"We Must Not Make Waves!"

"It's Not Compassionate To Draw Attention To Known Sin!"

"Don't Make A Fuss!"

With Other Inanities Added As Filler ... Fodder
These Useless Utterances 
Make Up The Mantra
And
The Method 
And

Display The Treacherous Madness Of 
The Out ... And Proud

Spineless, Beloved-By-All, Ineffective

Sentimental Christian

Who Unswervingly Preaches And Teaches

"You Good!"

"You Great!"

"God Loves You Fuh Real!"

"Live Your Life!"
"Love Is Love!"

"We All Going Heaven!"
Intimating To The Disobedient
The Dishonest
The Degenerate
That There Ain't No Real Poison 
In Deadly Sin's Always-Stinging, Flailing, Tail! 

On The Holy Jesus, The Lord Christ
- With Practiced Cowardice -
Sentimental Christian Has Basely Bailed!

He Sounds Like One Of Them People
From The Mixed Multitudes That
Followed The Hebrews Out Of Egypt!

Man, Have A Heart!
Those People Were Own-Way And Hell-Bent!

You Mean They Ended Up Hell-Bound!

Hell-Bound, Hell-Bent: Same Difference!
Hell Is In Operation 
When You Want And Choose Your Own Way!
Hell Is Your Destination
When You Decide For Your Own Sin To Pay
By Telling The Lord Christ
What It Is That He Meant To Say
When He Clearly Said:

This Is The Way: Walk Ye In It!

All Of That Happened Almost Back At The Beginning
And Yet
At Almost The End Of The Living Word
Apostle Jude Spoke Of It In Warning:

The Lord Is The Same

Yesterday

Today

And Forever!

Be Ye Warned
And Not Self-Willed ...

Egypt 
Is 
Synonymous With Sin
Slavery, Idolatry, Unbelief
Destruction And Death! 

Jesus Christ Died To Bring Us Out Of Egypt 
And 
Into The Promised Land Of Freedom
True Worship, Peace, Abundance
And 
Abundant Living 
Under The Reign Of The Benevolent God 
Known To Be Kind, Loving, Caring 
And 
Faithful! 

For All Who Refuse To Remember

And 

For All Who Choose To Forget 
Multitudes Of Hebrews
- By Their Own Callous Behavior -
Were Destroyed For Rejecting 
The Great Salvation Provided! 

If Sentimental Christian
Does Not Want To Speak To Truth
I Will 
And 
I Say ... According To The Living Word That 
We Will, Likewise, Perish 
If We Reject The Matchless Gift
Purchased
And 
Given To Us By The Lord Christ 
By His Willing Sacrifice On Cruel Calvary! 

Brethren,

Be Wise!
Sin Sears The Soul Of Man
And 
Unconfessed And Unrepented
Shears Us Off From The Kingdom Of The Blessed!
You Will Never Enter Heaven
If You Are Involved With Sin!

Jesus Christ Saves!

When We Walk With The Lord
His Peace Will Be With Us Always
No Matter What Sentimental Christian
- Acting Like A Deceitful Bow -
Winsomely Says!

Look Up!

Redemption Is Drawing Near!

Confess And Repent Of All Known Sin!
Reach Out And Take The Holy Hand 
Offering Grace And Mercy!
Be Obedient Unto Death
And 
Most Assuredly
You, Me, We Will Be Gloriously Blessed! 
Jesus Christ Is Our Peace!

From The Vicinity Of That Modern-Day Korah
And
His Cohort 
And 
The Discontented Mixed Multitudes
See To It That You Urgently Get Away!

Brethren,

It Is The Living God That We Ought, Always, To Obey!

Willing

Enduring

Obedience Pays!

PRAYER:

Please Help Us, Dear Father

To Give You Honor, Worship

And

Heartfelt Praise

And

Following Your Holy Commands

According To Your Holy Word

No Matter What The Doubters

And

The Gainsayers Say

And

Propagate

As True, New, And Inspired Knowledge!

Help Us To Deny The Liar

And

Reject The Lie

No Matter From Where 

From Whom

And

How They Brightly Come!

Please Help Us To Be To You

As The Needle Is To The Pole

So That We May Withstand The Devil

Delay, Disappointment

Denial

And

Deprivation

And

Stand Firmly In The Faith Of Jesus

Our Savior, Lord And God

So That We May Be Saved

And

Forever Blessed!

Please Grant Unto Us The Few Petitions

For It Is In Jesus Christ's Holy Name

We Pray And Humbly Plead!

We Need You And We Love You, Lord!

Please Come For Us Soon!

AMEN!

ROBBING THE SOUL: Praying On OR Preyed Upon!?!

Brethren,

Whatever Is Happening In Your Life, Pray!
Pray First, Last And Always
And
See To It That 
You Do Not Covet Anything That Anybody Has!

Do Not Be Jealous Of What Others Have To Pridefully Display 
Or To Whom They Have Apparent Access! 
You Don't Know What Deal They Made With Satan! 

Please See That You ... In Faith
Make A Covenant With The Lord Christ 
So That You Will Be Blessed 
And 
Saved Into The Eternal Kingdom! 

Remember That Everything On Earth 
Will Be Destroyed By The Lord Christ 
So Choose Life In Him
And 
Walk On Streets Of Gold! 
Having A Surfeit Of Gold In Your Pocket 
Is 
Pedestrian And Pointless
And
It Will Testify Against You
In The Great Day Of Small Things! 

Get Your Gold From Almighty God 
Who Created Gold
And  
Not From Man Who Digs For Gold! 
Covet Life With Christ! 

To Prove The Point About Profit And Loss
And
The True Blessing Found In Praying
Let Us Consider The Following Case:

First, And Foremost
No Created Being Is To Be Prayed Unto!
Man Is Not God
And
He Is Not Worthy To Praised Or Worshipped!

Worship The Creator

Not His Creation!

Secondly,
No Human Can Survive 
And 
Spiritually Prosper 
- Not Even For One Day Far Less For Thirty Days -
Without Sending Up ... By Employed And Working Faith
Their Petitions ... Requests
Their Prayers To Almighty God
In The Matchless Name Of Jesus Christ
Because
The Roaring Lion, Satan 
And 
His Demons Will Eat Them Alive
No. Salt. Required! 

If Man Will Not Pray To The Living God

He Is Prey For Satan

And

Waits To Become His Provender!

Prophet Daniel Prayed Three Times A Day 
And 
Chose To Obey Almighty God Rather Than Man
And 
Almighty God Honored The Prophet
In His Time Of Desperate Need! 

We Need To Pray To The Living God 
Like Our Lives Depend On It
Because
They Do! 

The Outcome Of Praying

Locks Lions' Mouths

And

Unlocks Prison Doors

And

The Lives Of Faithful Saints

Most Assuredly Secure!

Believe And Be Blessed ...

Praying In Child-Like Faith 
Is 
Power 
And 
Powerful!
All Of Our Strength Comes From Jesus Christ The Lord 
Who Commands Us To Pray
So In The Moment Of Your Need
Be Instantly And Constantly In Prayer
And
Pray Without Ceasing! 

Jesus Christ Keenly Felt The Need

To Be In Constant Communion

With His Father In Heaven!

Shouldn't You!?!

A Praying Saint Of Almighty God And Christ
Is 
The One Thing On This Earth That Satan
The Accuser Of The Brethren
The Adversary Of Souls ... In Desperation
Strenuously Hates
Because
He Knows His Soon-Coming Fate!

Let's Weaken Satan Today: Pray, Pray, Pray! 

Our Holy And Eternal God Hears And Cares!

Exercise Your Daily Gift

Of

Daily Faith!!

CERTAIN HOPE: Risk!?! This Is Reward!

... The Best Lessons Learnt
Are The Ones Learnt By Bitter Experience

And

The Best Lessons Learnt
Are The Ones You Don't Have To Pay To Learn!

Come On, Man!
That Is Impossible!
Both Reasons Can't Be The Best!

If Something Is The Best
It Is The Only One!
Get Your Story Straight!

May I Say That
If You Had Chosen To Listen 
Until The Very End Of My Presentation
You Would Have Heard Me Say The Following:

One Lesson Is Learnt Best
Through The Payment For Disobedience

And

One Lesson Is Learnt By Choosing To Obey
Because
The One Who Made The Rule, Regulation
Law, Commandment
Is 
Appreciated ... Trusted
Believed ... Honored ... Worshipped!
He Is Your God Holy
And
In Your Eyes
His Word Is Sacrosanct ... Sufficient!

I Made My Binding Decision
First, Because Of Self-Induced, Bitter, Personal, Experience: 
I Found Out That His Way Was Better
And
Then, Finally
Because Of Love And Gratitude
And
Obvious, Identified, Present And Future Gain:
His Reasons Why I Should Follow Him Proved Better For Me
Than My Doing What Felt Good To Me!

I Attended Both "Public" Schools
And
By Exercising My Free Will
And
Utilizing My Free Choice
I, Being Wiser
Chose ... Choose ... To Believe The Eternal God

Who Wrote A Personal Letter To Me

On The Parchment Of His Perfect Life

Written With Ink Made Of His Innocent Blood

With The Pen Made Of His Redeeming Love

Carved By His Holy Light

To Give Me A Certain Hope Provided By 
His Personal Sacrifice 

To Give Me A Forever Home In His House

In The Living, Unshakeable, Kingdom Of Almighty God!

I Trust The Lord: He Is Faithful!

I Trusted The Lord: He Is Truthful!

I Am Trusting In The Lord: He Is Reliable!

The Lord Is My God: He Is Trust-Worthy

Dependable

Constant
And

Unchanging
And

He Is My Rock

My Defense

My Only Hope!
He Helps And He Heals!
He Seals And He Reveals
So, Because Of His Unfailing Grace To Me
Whereby I Obtain Mercy
And
Pardon And Cleansing
For Confessed And Repented Of Known Sin

I Completely Trust Jesus Christ The Lord ...!

... Our Soon-Returning King!

Serving The Lord Abundantly Pays
And 
Any "Risks" That I Take
By Faithfully, Enduringly, Following Him
Amounts To ... Results In ... Reward!
I Can't Say The Same About Following Satan
The Known God-Fraud!

Indeed!

Jesus Christ Is Creator
Savior And Redeemer
Provider And Sustainer
And Ever True And Faithful
Loving, Blessing, Giving And Forgiving!

He Is Not A Fraud!
He Is Almighty God!
