Only A Look ... At Christ Jesus!

To Live Is To See Change

And

Wherever There Is Change There Is Decay! 

Be Glad ...

We Were Not Created 

To Just Change From Day To Day To Year To Death 

Like Animals Without Hope 

So We Need To Repair To The Creator-God

Our Provider, Sustainer

Healer, Hope, Help 

And 

Salvation

The Decaying Of Our Bodies To Route Out! 

Jesus Christ The Righteous Cares ... For You And For Me

Individually ... Personally

So Dare To Dare And Love Him Back

And

Don't Just Do It Socially!

We Are Dearly Loved 

And 

We Need To Start Living To Live 

And 

Cease Living To Die! 

Don't You Know ... 

We Have The Friend Who Is Eternal

Who Gives The Best Gifts With Both Hands 

And 

Does Not Ever Take Them Back! 

He Is Constantly Inviting Us To Enter His Embrace 

And 

His Heart

And

He Is Inviting Us To Enter His House Of Peace, Love

Joy Forevermore

And 

Blessings

Now, Today ... This Very Moment 

By His Gift To Us Of Daily Faith

And Later

By His Gift Of Eternal Life

- Immortality And Incorruptibility - 

Physically

In Our Own Bodies

To See Him With Our Very Own Eyes!

Jesus Christ Is Not One To Lie! 

Any Friend Not Named

Jesus Christ The Lord

Is

A Fair- Weather Friend! 

Jesus Christ Our Lord

Is

The Only One 

Upon Whom We Can 

And

Should 

Ever, Always, In All Ways, Always Depend!

Beloved, 

Let's Pray Passionately ... Not Politically Correctly!

Let's Pray Faithfully ... Always Truthfully

And 

Really Talk To Our Father ... Our Jesus

- With The Help Of The Holy Spirit - 

As If Talking To Our Best Friend: He, Alone, Is! 

Only A Look ... 

Lovingly, Longingly, Look At Jesus Christ! 

Praise Him With Your Whole Heart! 

Touch Him! 

Embrace Him! 

Cry Out To Him! 

Laugh With Him ... Never About Him! 

Talk To Him About Everything ... He Knows Your Need! 

Get Angry At Him: He Can Handle It! 

Be Happy That He's There For You! 

Ask For A Gift: His Gifts Are Good And Perfect! 

Apologize For Sin And Selfishness! 

Rest In And On Him! 

Listen To His Words, His Heart! 

Praise Him Again: He Deserves It

And 

Repeat ... Ad Nauseum!

Praying Is Not A Corporate Symposium! 

Trust Ye In The Lord Jehovah!

Anything Less Than

Perfect Peace

Is

All-Out War!

 

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Lean ... On The Everlasting Arms!

 

Babylon 

Is 

Synonymous With Confusion, Sin, Idolatry 

And 

Satan

Those Things From Which We Truly Need Deliverance! 

The Lord God Almighty Has Plainly Said: 

"Come Let Us Reason Together!" 

... From Anxiety Unto Applause! 

Are You Leaning On The Everlasting Arms

Or

Are You ... From Ungodly Fear

Reasoning In Your Heart Contrary To The Evidence That 

Is 

Plain Truth!?! 

The Lord Has Said What He Will Do For Us 

And 

His Living Word Will Not Return To Him Empty-Handed! 

The Lord Cannot Lie: 

That Is Damned Satan's Damned Domain! 

Beloved, 

As Long As You Pray With Enduring Faith 

And

Walk In Willing 

And 

Trusting Obedience Before The Lord

Know Of A Surety That Whatever You Desire That 

Is Not 

Outside Of The Promises Of God 

Or 

Contrary To The "Thus Saith The Lord!" 

You Shall Receive

If

It Is For Your Good 

And

For Almighty God's Glory ... In His Time! 

Wait Patiently Upon The Lord! 

Black And White Is Evidence ...

Dare To Pray Back The Promises Of God "Against" Aka To Him! 

All Of God's Promises To Us 

Are Good In The Court Of Heaven 

And

In Heaven's Storehouses 

Aka The Heart's Desire Fulfillment Center Of Glory! 

Pray! 

Plead! 

Press On 

And 

Be At Peace! 

Don't Stutter! 

Don't Stumble! 

Don't Doubt: Don't Sin! 

Jesus Christ The King Will Deliver You 

And 

Deliver For You! 

You Are The Greatly-Beloved Child

Of

The Great I AM

The Creator God

The Lord

The King

The Savior Of Every Man

The Good Shepherd

The Shepherd Of Rest

The Prince Of Peace

The Forever-Friend

Your Redeemer

Your Blessed Hope!

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

Dare To Start

And

Continue Living

Like You Truly Believe

That

You Are Infinitely Blessed!

Dare To Pray And Receive Your Gift Today! 

Let The Peace Of Jesus

Wash Over You

Today!!

BE A FOR-REAL JESUS-CHRISTAN: Be The "Bible" That People Read With Pleasure!

A Sinner Turned Christian 

Starts With Head Knowledge Of The Lord Christ 

Which Then Becomes Heart Knowledge 

Through The Association That Comes From Obedience, Faith 

And 

Communion 

Aka Prayer And The Reading Of The Living Word 

Aka CommUnIcation! 

It's A Conversation Between You And The Great I AM

The God Of Grace And Glory! 

Beloved, 

Conformity With The Worldly Class 

Excludes Us From The Heavenly Upgrade 

Which Comes Of Us Having Our Minds Be Transformed 

By The Lord Of Love

Who Gives Life! 

Please, I Beseech Us All

Do Not Think That Calling Christ Your King

Singing The Songs Of Zion 

And ... To Be At Earthly Peace

Going Along With The Degenerate Ways Of Unbelievers

Scoffers At Truth

Scorners Of Faith And Belief

And 

Those Who Indulge Gross And Ungodly Practices 

For Temporal Gain

Is 

Going To Get You Through The Pearl Gate! 

If You Are A Jesus-Christian

Be An Earthly-Useful, Heavenly-Minded Christian 

All Day, Every Day ... In Every Way: Don't Play

And

For The Love Of God

Please Stop Going Into The World Acting All Worldly-Wise

To Try To Convert People To Be Christians: 

It Ain't Gonna Work! 

Let Your Lived Life Be The "Bible" That People Read With Pleasure! 

Let Your Words Edify! 

Be The Good Ambassador For Christ! 

Be A Jesus-Christian ... With Your Whole Heart! 

Pursue Peace! 

Stand Up For The Holy God

That You Say That You Believe In

And

State That You Belong To!

Stand Up For Jesus!

The I AM That Is ... For Us!

 

It Is The Latest Catch-Phrase: 

"It Is What It Is!" 

And 

Everybody Is Buying And Selling It! 

Whoo Hoo! 

There Is A Bounding, Binding, Truth That Was

That Now Is

And

That Shall Be Forevermore: 

"I AM That I AM!" 

And 

We Would All Do Well To Run To It

Stand By It 

And

Live For It 

For It Is The Dear Name Of 

The Great God Who Is Our Maker, Savior

Redeemer, Friend, God And King 

And

Judge

Protector, Provider, Hope And Help

The Lover Of Our Souls Who Loves Us With A Sacrificial 

And

Everlasting Love 

Who Hates Sin 

But 

Loves Us Sinners

Who Will Not Clear The Guilty 

But

Will Cleanse Us Of The Guilt Of Our Own Sin! 

This God ... Our God Almighty

Is 

Amazingly Awesome 

And

He Is Slow To Be Angry With Us Frail, Finite 

And 

Often Foolish Creatures

 ... And ... 

Glory Be To Jesus Christ Who Saves

Through The Holy Spirit Of Truth Who Abides

He Loves Us With The Everlasting Love That 

Will Chastise Sin

Correct Bad Habits

Comfort Sorrow And Pain

Carry The Helpless

And

Celebrate Our Victories Over Sin And Self! 

Beloved, 

Let's Embrace The Unchanging God ... The I AM

And 

Celebrate That ... In Him 

We Have Salvation From Sin Known Sordid! 

Be Free: 

Almighty God ... I AM That I AM ... Is For Us! 

Pursue Peace With Shiloh

The Prince Of Peace! 

The Promises Of God Are Not Comforts For Fools!

KJV Luke 15:10

10 Likewise, I say unto you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth.

 

Anyone Who Does Not Hold Our Almighty God In Godly Fear 

Is 

Fair Game To Satan And His Fallen Angels 

Who Will Work Diligently To Help Them Accumulate Enough Sin 

To Acquire The Fare For The One-Way Ticket 

To Hell 'N Damnation! 

All Of Us Already Have Enough Sin

But

The Committed-To-Christ Child Of God 

Being In Awe ... Godly Fear ... Of His Maker

And 

Believing The Word Of Promise

Will Choose To Daily Confess 

And 

Repent ... Turn Away From ... Known Sin! 

Time For A Think-Think ... 

Let Us Consider The Invitation To Confess ... And Repent

The Promise To Forgive ... And To Cleanse

The Decision To Follow Christ ... And Live By Faith That Cannot Fail Us

And 

The Blessed Hope Aka Christ In Us Our Hope For Glory! 

We Have Reason For Our Blessed Hope! 

Beloved, 

The Promises Of God Are Not Comforts For Fools! 

They Are "Yes, Lord!" And "Amen!" 

For All The Saints Of God And Christ 

Who Have Resolved To Live For The Lord Of Life

Who Exchanged His Life For Ours 

So That We Have The Opportunity 

To Transact A One-For-One Fair Exchange Of

Our Sinful Life For His Holy Life

Our Mortality For His Immortality

And 

Our Perishing Planet For His Perfect Paradise! 

Brethren, Beloved,

Please Let The Holy Spirit Guide You Into All Truth: 

Dare To Strive For The Crown That Doesn't Tarnish! 

Let Heaven Rejoice Over You Today! 

Truth And Peace

Are One!

Strong Enough To Be Weak!?!

 

Every Human Has "The Need" 

But 

Most Refuse To Acknowledge ... Or Accept It 

For Fear Of Seeming Weak ... Or Needy 

For Giving Control Over Themselves 

To The One Unseen! 

Every Christian, Called, Committed And Consecrated

Gladly Expresses That Need

Is Greedy For The Gain Of God's Glory

And 

Covets The Good And Perfect Gifts Of Mercy And Grace! 

Question Is. Though

Are You Hungry Enough

And

Thirsty Enough 

For Goodness And Truth

And 

Peace And Rest 

To Become Fed-Up Enough With Sin

Sorrow, Suffering, Sickness 

And 

Shame 

To Surrender Your Sovereign Will To The Lord 

And

Ignore The Taunts

The Black Balls

And

The Fiery Darts Of The Wicked

And

Surrender Your Self To Your Savior

No Matter The Earthly Outcome!?! 

Will You Trust The Lord Totally 

When Every Known Earthly Support 

Is 

Gone Bye Bye!?! 

Will You Be Strong Enough To Be Weak And

Choose To Enduringly Live

- Against Sense And Sight - 

By Faith And Prayer

Believing The Promises That 

You Are Not Alone

And That 

Almighty God, By The Holy Spirit

And 

The Ministration Of The Holy Angels

Will Take Care Of You!?! 

Beloved, 

Now Is The Time To Feed Your Soul On The Word! 

Feed Your Need For Jesus 

And 

Be Free! 

Dare To Be Humble Before The Lord! 

Remember, Remember

Don't Ever Forget ...

There Is Nothing That We Can Do

That We Can Do Without Jesus Christ The Lord!

Jesus' Peace

Passes

Human Understanding!

Who You Looking At!?! Who Looking At You!?!

 

We've All Met One Of Them! 

We've Heard The Aggressive: 

"Who You Looking At!?!" 

We've Heard The Calm Response: 

"I'm Looking At You!" 

We've Also Heard The Nasty Riposte: 

"Take A Picture! 

It'll Last Longer!" 

But ...

Has That Dear Soul Asked Themselves 

Why They Were Being Looked At

Or Wondered If The Look Was A Desire 

To Eat Them 

Or To Teach Them ... And Why ... 

Depending On The Desire That 

They Personally Know That 

They Are Causing In Their Watcher!?! 

How Are You Being Watched!?! 

How Are You Being Changed By What You Observe!?! 

How Are Others Being Changed By Looking At You!?! 

Is The Picture That People Are Taking Of You

Worthy Of Being Placed In The Victory Garden

The Hall Of Fame

Or The Dank, Dark, Cellar Of Shame!?! 

How Do You See Yourself!?! 

Is The Picture Clear Or Cloudy!?! 

Is It A Gold Apple In A Silver Frame 

Or A Bright Red, Juicy-Looking Apple That 

Has A Worm In It 

And 

Is Rotten At The Core!?!

 

Are You Fit Or Being Fitted For The Table Of The King 

Or Are You Hog Food!?! 

I'm Asking Myself That Question: 

Will You!?! 

Ask The Hard Question! 

Answer It Honestly! 

Fix The Bad Part! 

Increase The Good Part

And

Dare ... Really Dare

Learn From Our Great Exemplar Jesus Christ: 

The Devil Will Be Withstood! 

Peace With The Lord

Is

Profitable!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Do The Pleasure Of The Lord!

 

We Pay For Our Pleasure! 

What Brings You Pleasure!?! 

Is There Anything

Any Tree That You Are Manuring Right Now

The Fruit Of Which

- When In The Season Of Discovery 

Aka Publicly Disclosed, Exposed -

Is 

Going To Cost You Your Job

Your Family

Your Faith

Your Future!?! 

Is The Pursuit Of Your Pleasure 

Worth Your Giving Up Your Life To Enjoy It 

Even For One Measly Second!?! 

Would The Lord Jesus Christ Be Pleased 

Aka Have Pleasure 

From Seeing You Pursuing 

Your Dark Night Or Sun Light Pleasure!?! 

Beloved, 

Remember The Warnings:

"Out Of Darkness Into Light!" 

And

"Take What You Want And Pay For It!" 

And

Choose To Be Disciplined

To Accept Correction

To Find Pleasure In The Things Of Almighty God

To Bear The Fruit That 

Is 

Righteousness 

And 

Do Not Indulge In Those Ungodly Things 

For Which You May Pridefully ... Presently

Feel No Common Shame! 

Repentance To Almighty God

Is

Not Lame

And

Seeking For Forgiveness

Is

No Game! 

Don't Get It Twisted ... 

Uncorrected Wrong Actions

Unrepented Known Sin

And 

Forbidden "Pleasure" 

Carry No Eternal Profit

Because 

They Lead To The No-Pleasure Spa 

At Fire And Brimstone Lake

Where There Ain't No Complimentary Tray Of

Cookies And Canapés! 

Be Wise ... 

Choose Free Salvation

And

Choose Pleasures Forevermore 

And 

Receive Forever Access

To The River Of The Water Of Life

When Ends The Mortal Strife! 

Brethren,

Dare To Care

And

Boldly ... Willingly ... Do 

The Pleasure Of Jesus Christ The Righteous

The True And Living God! 

He Is Bringing With Him When He Comes

Our Earned And Sure Reward! 

Be Strong In The Lord

And

In The Power Of His Might! 

HAPPY SABBATH + WILLING OBEDIENCE: Stand Up To Go Up!

All Lawlessness Is Sin:

Willful Disobedience

Is

Sin!

Willful Disobedience Flows From A Heart 

Filled With Putrid Pride 

And 

Stinks Of Idolatry 

Because 

It Places Sinful Self 

On The Throne Which Belongs To The Lord Christ! 

Idolatry 

Is 

Willful 

And 

Bold Sin!

That's Behaving Like You Made Yourself! 

Willing Obedience Flows From A Heart 

Filled With Love For Its Maker 

And 

Shows To The Dying World 

What True, Godly, Worship Looks Like! 

Beloved, 

We Are Children Of The Great King

And 

We Must ... By Thought, Word And Deed 

Choose

Willingly Choose

Lovingly Choose

To Walk In Perfect Obedience To The Lord

Following The Law Of Love

No Matter What The Naysayers, Unbelievers And Doubters 

Sarcastically And Spitefully Say! 

Look Around You 

And 

See With Clear Eyes 

The Plain Evidence Of What Happens To Those 

Who Choose To Willfully Walk "Wise" In Their Own Eyes! 

Look Again 

And 

See The Lives Of Those Who Faithfully Choose To Love The Lord 

And 

Show That Love By Staying Within The Law Of Liberty

The Law Of God

The Hedge Of Protection That The Lord Has Provided For Us 

To Shield ... Guard ... Ourselves From Sin 

And 

From Our Accusing Adversary, Satan ... The Very Devil! 

Stand Up To Rise Up: 

Willing Obedience 

Is 

Your Only Propellant! 

Love The Lord Christ! 

Keep The Holy Faith

And 

With Endurance

Obey And Be Blessed! 

Obedience 

Is 

Its Own Reward! 

Jesus Christ's Peace

Is

Always Perfect

For You And Me!

JOURNEYING TO SALVATION: Make A Hard Right Off Sin And Self!

 

In Journeying To Salvation

Remember That The Distance To Arrive There 

Is 

Not Far! 

Make A Hard Right Off Sin And Self 

And

With Eyes Fixed

Walk Straight On Available Grace 

Which Seamlessly Flows Into Free Mercy Streaming! 

Beloved, 

Whatever You Do

See To It That You Do Not Have Converse 

With Decimating Doubt! 

He Is A Liar 

And 

He Will Tell You To Call Him Inky: 

He's Always Changing The Story

Because

His Story ... Even In His Own Mind

Is 

Never, Ever, Straight!

Heads-Up ...

With Great Care 

And 

Unending Gratitude 

And

The Loving Embrace

Enfold Simple Faith Into Your Living: 

She's A Gift That Is New Everyday! 

Do Not, Do Not, Don't Despise Simple Faith: 

You Will Need Her On And At Your Side! 

Look Out For Reason 

And 

Hold His Hand! 

Simple Faith Will Lead You To Truth 

And 

Truth Will Encourage Reason 

- Who You Will Need When You Talk With The Lord - 

To Be Birthed! 

Remember, Remember

Don't Ever Forget ...

The Lord Of Life 

Is 

Always Near: 

His Word To You 

Is 

Clear: 

You, Personally, Are In His Heart! 

Beloved,

Get The Lord Of Life In Your Heart 

And

The Holy Spirit Will Take Up Residence! 

Accept The Call To Pray 

And 

Open The Book That Truth Will Give You! 

The Book 

   Is
