Be True To Truth!






Denying The Truth Of God 
Does Not Change The Character Of God 
Or Our Need To Totally Embrace It! 

Denying The Requirement That 
We Are To Be Sanctified Aka Set Apart 
Through Our Obedience To The Truth ... Christ Jesus 
Does Not Change The Fact That 
Disobedience Is Sin
Sin Means Death 
And 
Unrepented Sin Means Damnation! 

Beloved, 

Let Us Not Walk With Or Personally Participate In 
The Sin Of Those Who Openly Defy The Living God! 

When You Know The Truth That Saves 
And 
You Deliberately Choose To Indulge In Error
Lies, Deceit
And 
Compromising Behavior 
Just Because 
It Is Convenient 
And
Makes You "Feel" Good
Does Not Make It Profitable Or Beneficial 
In Either The Short Or Long Term
Far Less Eternally! 

We Are Headed Toward Hill Zion The Beautiful 
And 
Forever Blessed 
And
Only Those Who Choose To Fulfil The Requirements 
Aka Acquire The Holy And Undefiled Character Of Christ 
Shall, By Right, Enter Therein!
There Is No Short-Cut  Or Exemption From Righteousness
To Get To Share In The Glory Of The Lord Christ! 

Please, I Beseech Us All
Do Not Permit Presumptuous Sin 
To Hold Dominion Over You! 

Do What Is Right 
Because 
It Is Right! 
Our Dear Jesus Said That We Must Do Right 
If We Desire To See Him ... In Perfect Peace: 
Let Us Be True To Truth 
And
Live In Righteousness! 
Jesus Christ Alone Saves:
Be Humble And Be Blessed!

FORGIVENESS: To Err Is Human!







Held Hate
Holds
Human Health Hostage! 

It Should Not Surprise Us 
To Know That Holding Grudges 
And 
Malice Against Others In Our Hearts 
Grossly Affects Our Personal Health And Well-Being! 

Emotional Sickness Manifests Itself Physically 
And 
Jesus Christ Showed This Truth 
When He Healed The Man Sick With Palsy! 
The Man's Heart Was Sore! 
He Needed Forgiveness More Than Physical Healing! 

The Lord's Prayer Asks To Forgive Our Debts 
As We Forgive Our Debtors! 
When We Forgive ... Even Ourselves
We Are Forgiven! 

Are You Almighty God That 
You Refuse Forgiveness To Your Self And Another!?! 
If You Act As Though You Are Almighty God
Then You Are A False God 
And
In Direct Opposition To The Eternal God 
And
You Shall Perish In 
And
For Your Sin! 

We, Human ... Mortals ... Are Frail, Fragile, Creatures
And 
It Does Not Take A Lot To Turn Our Lives Upside Down 
So Think Carefully
And 
Act Wisely! 

A Peaceful Night's Sleep 
Is 
A Blessed Gift Of The Eternal God Not To Be Despised! 

Take TheAlmighty God's Forgiveness 
By Being Forgiving To Others
Because
We Ain't All That 
That We Should Puff Up With Pride 
And 
Pointedly Point At Others And Say: 

"Looka Dem!" 

To Err Is Human! 
Forgiveness Is Divine! 
Try It!

COMMTTED TO CHRIST: Exercised Faith Can't Fail!




 
Every Christian Completely Committed To Christ 
And 
His Eternal Cause 
Must Be Able Able To Say Like Job: 

"Though He Slay Me
Yet Will I Trust Him!" 

In Finite Understanding
The Skeptical Will, With The Worldly, Say: 

"Why Would You Trust Someone
Who Could Kill You!?!" 

To This, We Say: 

Jesus Christ
Is
The Author Of Life
Our Creator, Sustainer, Provider
Lord, God And Forever Friend
And
He Raises The Dead
To Everlasting Life 
And
He ... The Righteous One 
And
Forever Faithful Friend 
And
Kind King
And
Just Judge
Has Promised To All
Who Choose To Believe In Him 
And
Trust Him At His Living Word That 
We Who Live For Him
And
Die In Him Shall
- At The Time Appointed By Him -
Rise From Death To Life 
To Live With Him Forevermore 
On The Glorious Golden Shore!

Beloved, 

The Great God Who Bids You Trust Him
Gives You A Gift Of Faith Each Day 
With Which To Trust Our Jesus 
- The King Of Glory -
Who Calls Us To Partake Of
And
Does Give Grace ... Unmerited Favor
Blessings, Benefits
Gifts Of Holy Love To Us
Whether We Are Grateful, Faithful
Obedient, Enduring
Loving, Kind 
And 
Wholly True To Him! 

Please Dare To Love The Lord Christ 
Who Eternally, Personally, Loves You Intimately: 
Your Exercised Faith In Him Can't Fail!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Be Contented: Don't Self-Destruct!







Why Would You Choose To Destroy Another Person 
Knowing That Their Destruction Ensures Your Own!?! 

This Behavior 
Is 
Satanic 
And 
At Its Center Is Pride
Plus Hatred And Envy 
And 
Idolatrous Fatalism! 

Beloved, 

We Are Christians! 
Jesus Christ Says To Us: 


"Save Yourselves From This Untoward Generation! 
Look To Me, The Author And Finisher Of Your Faith! 
Resist The Devil! 
Bring Your Burden To Me And Leave It There! 
Lean Not On Your Own Understanding! 
Love Truth! 
Hate Lies!"
 

Too Often
Instead Of Looking To Our Jesus 
And
Embracing His Light
And
Assimilating His Holy Character
And
Fighting The Good Fight Of Faith
We Covet What Is Not Ours To Own
And
Greedily Long After That Which 
We Should Never Have In Our Body-Temple Home 
And
End Up Being Less Than What We Are Created To Be 
To Become What The Light Of Day Should Never, Ever, See! 

What The Lord Has Given To You, Enjoy! 
What The Lord Has Promised To You, Anticipate! 
What Is Not Yours To Have And To Hold
Let It Pass You Like A Levite 
And
For It See That You Do Not Cry! 

Almighty God
- Who Has A Thousand Ways To Save You,
Amply, Lovingly, Provides: 
Be Grateful! 

Choose Life: 
Live In, By, And For Love
For ... As Our Lord Has Said:
They Shall Know Us By Our Love One For Another! 


Jesus Christ's Peace
Is
Precious And Perfect!

HAPPY SABBATH + THE LIFE OF JOB: Something To Really Think About!








Job Had Seven Sons And Three Daughters:
Let's Call Them Seven Perfect Priests
And
Three Good Churches!

Job Had Substance!
By Today's ... Or Any Other Day's Standards
He Was Filthy, Stinking, Rich
With A Striking Difference:
Job Hates Evil!
Job
Is
Perfect In Almighty God's Sight!
Job Fears God After The Godly Sort!
And Is
An Intercessor ... A Man Of Faith And Prayer!

Job Had Seven Thousand Sheep And Three Thousand Camels!
Let's Call The Sheep Clean Sacrifice And Food!
Sheep Are Obedient!

Let's Call The Camels Burden-Bearers And Transportation!
Camels Are Unclean Animals!

Job Also Had Five Hundred Yoke Of Oxen
And
Five Hundred She-Asses!
Oxen Plow The Fertile Soil And Tread Out Grain!
They Are Also Clean Animals
Good For Sacrifice Unto The Holy God!

She-Asses Are Stubborn Burden-Bearers!
Nevertheless, One Will Some Day Carry
The Savior Of Us All!

For A Five And Five Split
Let's Call The Oxen Wise Virgins
And
The She-Asses Foolish Virgins!

Job Is The Great Householder!
Job Had One Adversary!
Job Lost All His Earthly Possessions
Through The Machinations
And
Malevolent Hatred Of The Adversary Of Souls
The Accuser Of The Brethren
Satan, The Damned!

Satan Thought ... Planned
Supposedly Foresaw That Decimating Job
- The Patriarch
The High Priest Of The Household -
Of Health, Wealth, And Progeny
That He, Forsaken, Broken, Rejected
And
Obviously Reviled By Heaven
Would Cast Away Faith
Deny Truth
Sell Eternity For Dust
And
Curse Almighty God
And
Die The Death
The Second Death
Through His Own Very Personal Sin!

Surprise, No Surprise ...

Job Kept His Integrity!
Job Prayed, Pleaded, Beseeched:


Though You Slay Me
Yet I Will Trust You!
I Know That My Redeemer Lives!
I Will Be Satisfied
When I Awake With Your Likeness!


Last Day Events ...

The Seventh Church
The Laodicean Church:
The Judging Of The People:

War Shall Be Over The Seventh-Day Sabbath 
Aka Worship!

Three Adversaries:
Three Unclean Spirits Like Frogs
Representing
The Dragon
The Beast
The False Prophet
Aka Satan
Roman Catholicism
And
Apostate Protestantism In America!

The Church Is Waiting!
All Are Asleep!
Some Went To Sleep Prepared!
Some Went To Sleep Unprepared!

The Loud Cry Sounds:

The Bridegroom Is Coming!!!

All The Church Of God Is Awakened!

Five Wise Virgins ... Having Kept The Faith That Cannot Fail
Have Extra Oil ... The Holy Spirit
To Refill, Replenish, Their Lamps 
Which Had Gone Out While They Slept! 

The Five Foolish Virgins
Having Not Fortified Their Souls
Their Stores Of Grace With The Oil Of Gladness
From The Spirit Of Truth
Have No Reserves With Which To Re-Light Their Lamps! 
They Are Left Bereft 
When The Wise Virgins Wisely Refused
 To Share Their Reserved Oil
Least There Not Be Enough For Any Of Them! 

The Unwise Virgins Must Depart The House Of Hope
And
Hope To Acquire Holy Oil From
The Sellers Who Make Oil, Light, Truth Their Trade! 

While The Five Are From Safety Absent
The Bridegroom Entered His Father's House
And
His Door Was Closed
Because
All Who Were Invited
All Who Had Accepted His Invitation
All Who Chose To Be In Attendance
All Who Were Attired To Fit The Occasion
All Who Were To Attend Him
And
Present There ... As Stipulated 
Were Within
And
Blessed ... Forever! 

Sad To Say ... 

The Five Unwise Virgins
Returned To The House Of Blessing
And
Found The Door Closed! 

These Five Knocked With Determination! 

Their Knock Was Answered With Dedication! 

The Bridegroom Answered Their Cry! 

The Answer Gutted Them:

Depart From Me! 
I Never Knew You! 

And

They Died The Death
In Outer Darkness:

Eternal Separation From The Eternal God
Whose Grace And Mercy They Misused 
By Their Own Personal 
And 
Base Neglect! 

Salvation
Comes
Before Sin
Before Self
Before Satan!

Jesus Has Seven Churches
Aka Church Ages!
Jesus Had Three Temptations!
Jesus Spent Three Days In The Tomb!

Like All Who Will Enter The Great Household On High
We Must ... Like Job
Lose All To Gain All!

The Grace Of God
Given Freely To Every Human
Was Not Cheap To Acquire!
Almighty God The Father
Gave His All ... His Perfect Treasure
To Take All Of Our Sin
So That We ... Believing
May Receive All That
Is 
Jesus Christ's In Glory!

Remember, Remember
Don't Ever Forget ...


Cheap Grace Is Not Grace!
Salvation Without A Changed Life
Is
Damnation!
Blessings Without Faith And Belief Are Base!

Beloved,

No Man Shall Enter Heaven By Default
Because Of A Name
Through An Affiliation
Or With An Offering Of Coins!

Heaven Or Hell
Is
Accessed By Choice
By Word, Deed ... Action:
Your Choice!
Your Decision!
Your Destination!

Jesus Christ The Righteous Judge
Won't Force You
And
Satan The Adversary Can't Force You
To Decide One Way Or Another!

Be An Informed Consumer
Because
A No-Decision Decision
Is
A Decision For Self, Sin, Satan
And
The Second Death!

Be Wise!
Be Well!
Be Blessed By The Light Of Truth That
Is
The Gospel Of Grace!
Jesus Christ, Alone, Saves!

Let The Holy Spirit
Teach You
Feed You
Correct You
And
Direct Your Life ... Today!

FAMILY: Jesus Called ... You Answered!






To This Day ... When A Child Is Born
The Question Is Still Asked: 
Who Does This Baby Resemble Aka Look Like!?! 

The Question Seeks To Place This Precious Little Soul 
Within The "Family!" 

Beloved, 
Are You A Christian ... And Still Wondering 
Whether You Belong To The Family Of The Eternal God!?! 

Are You Wondering
If 
The Family Belongs To You!?! 

Are You Being Asked By Others 
If 
You Truly Belong To The Family Of God!?! 

Are You Doubtful Of 
Your Blood-Ties To The Lord Christ!?! 

Are You Walking In Disbelief
Refusing To Believe That Repentant-Sinner-You 
Are Truly Accepted Into 
The Well-Beloved Forever-Family Of God!?! 

Just Stop Already! 

Jesus Christ The Righteous King Called: 
You Answered! 

Jesus Christ Saves: 
You Are Infinitely Blessed! 

You ... With Obedient Endurance 
Are Known, Justified, Accepted
Sanctified, Equipped
And 
Sent 

And

At The Appointed Time 
You Shall Be Raised Up To Eternity ... Glorified! 

Do Not Indulge In If, But, Then, Why Me! 

Wittingly Choose To Accept That Your Savior 
Is 
Your Creator 
And 
Your Redeemer 
Is 
Your Re-Creator Who Promises That We ... Family
Shall Be Like Our Maker, Lord And God
In All Particulars 
If
We Forswear Self, Sin, Sinning And Satan 
And 
Wisely Choose To Trust Our Lord 
And
Willingly Obey Him Always
And
In All Ways! 

Brethren, Beloved

You, Me, We Belong To The King: 
Dare To Live Like You Know It
And
Truly Believe It! 

Peace With Almighty God
Is
Necessary
And
Fabulously Free!

Confidence In Self Is A Desperate Lie!







Confidence In Christ
 Is Not 
A Convenience! 
Standing Firmly Upon The Ground Of 
The Heavenly Truth In Which You Truly Believe 
Is Not 
For Convenience Or Carnal Comfort! 

Walking With Christ 
Is Not 
For The Bread And Two Fishes! 

And

Loving The Lord 
Is Not 
About Receiving The Promised Reward! 

Beloved, 

Tomorrow 
Is Not 
Promised To Any One Of Us! 
Knowing Whom You Believe In ... Jesus
Why You Trust Him ... Proven Love And Faithfulness
Why You Walk According To His Word ... Truth Unchanging 
Why You Will Deny Self, Sin 
And 
Satan For Him ... Available Grace Always Sufficient
Is 
Paramount To Our Survival 
And
Prosperity On This Pilgrim Journey! 

Confidence In Known-Sinful Self 
Is 
A Desperate Lie! 
Confidence In Fallen Man
 Is 
A Capital Curse! 
Confidence In Christ 
Is 
Sure Salvation 

And

Confidence In His Unchanging Word
His Character
His Cause
Is 
The Balm Sure To Bring Perfect Peace
And 
Restorative Rest 
No Matter The Fiery Trials Of Life In Your Home
In Your Head
In Your Heart
And 
In Your Hand! 

Only Jesus Saves And Seals! 
Only Truth Heals And Reveals! 
Only Heaven Helps Us: 
Stand Firmly On 
And
Trust Dynamically Upon The Sure 
And
The Secure Promises Of Jesus Christ The Lord! 
Prince Shiloh
Is 
With You!

APPROACH THE THRONE OF GRACE + PRAYER: We Are Nearing Our Heavenly Home!


We Are Human ... Weak And Poor!
God Is Almighty ... Strong And Rich!
There Must Be A Meetings Of The Minds! 

Prayer Girds Us Weak Ones With Almighty God's Strength! 
Prayer Turns Our Folly Into Wisdom! 
Prayer Gives Our Troubled Spirits
The Sweet Peace Of Almighty God
Which Passes All Human Understanding
And
Urges Us Willing
To Enter The Eternal Promised Land! 

We Approach The Throne Of Grace
Without The Look Called Shame-Faced
Because
The Living God Holy Who Invited Us There To Appear, Says:

"Come Boldly! 
I Will Not Turn You Away!" 

We Are To Bring Our Wants ... Our Needs! 
We Are To Plead Our True Poverty
Not Because 
We Need Houses And Land
But Because 
We Need King Jesus
The Son Of God
The Soon-Returning Son Of Fallen Man! 


PRAYER:

Oh, Lord, Please Hear Our Prayer! 
You Have Called To Your Side
So Help Us, Please, There Ever To Abide! 
Forgive Our Sin
Our Trespasses
Our Transgressions
And
Purge Us, Please, Of The Known Pharisee Leaven! 

We Know Not How To Pray As We Ought
But
We Come Because Our Debt You Have Bought
To Free Us
To Cleanse Us
To Heal Us
To Forgive Us 
And
To Take Us Home To Glory
With You Forever To Live! 
Father, Please Forgive! 

Help Us To Be Humble, Obedient, Honest, True! 
Help Us To Lift Our Hearts With Our Hands
As Members Of That Holy Band Of 
Saints Of God And Jesus Christ
For You To Take Us Away From The Power Of Him
Who Is The Purveyor Of The Demonic Device! 
In Jesus, We Rejoice! 

Help Us To Hold To Truth, Light, Love
And
Righteousness! 
Help Us To Walk Holy Desiring The Blessed Rest! 
Help Us To Endure The Duration Of The Sin-Cure
So That We, By Holy Right
May Enter Through 
Our Overcome-Sin-Assigned Pearl Gate Door! 

Help Us To Sing The Songs Of Zion
Even In This Strange Land
To Cheer Us On The Way
For, By Faith, We Know That
We Are Nearing Our Heavenly Home! 
This Is Our Heartfelt Prayer!
In Jesus Christ's Holy Name
We Humbly Plead! 
AMEN!

I Recklessly Go After 
The Unholy And Profane Gods That 
Can't Even Carry Themselves! 
I Repent! 
Please Forgive Me! 

When I Think On You, Lord
Your Word, Your Character
I Am Amazed And Ashamed
To Have Exercised Love And License
Faith And Doubt
Unbelief And Disbelief 
In Our Relationship! 
Please Forgive Me ... I Repent!

You Provide Food And Shelter
Things For Beauty And For Glory
Fragrances To Tickle My Mind, My Senses
Things To Tantalize My Tastebuds
Things To Tingle My Ears
Things To Thrill This Soul With Peace 
Power
And
Pointing To Your Preserving Love And Care
And
That Sabbath Rest That Restores My Soul
For Having Spent Time
In Your Quickening Presence! 

Forgive Me For Being As That Fool
Who, Lying, Says
And
Behaves
As If There Is No God Almighty
No Judge Of Human Flesh
And
Fallen Angels Damned! 

I Hear Your Voice, Lord! 
Please Never Stop Talking To Me! 
I Need You
And
I Am Neither Afraid
Ashamed
Nor Sorrowful Over That Fact!
 
I Desire To Be Close To You:
Please Draw Close To Me!
 
I Am Willing To Your Faithful Servant:
Please Commission And Equip Me!
 
Please Hold My Hand
Correct, Direct, Protect 
Lead, Feed
And
Use Me According To Your Sovereign Will
And 
Ever In Your Holy Way! 
I Am Willing, Lord!

I Make Myself Available To You, Father
For You Are My God!
You Know My Name, My Nature
The Length Of My Days
And
By Your Grace Upon Me
Through Your Gift Of Faith To Me
I Choose To Strive To Be An Overcomer Of Sin
A Diligent Servant Of My King
A Child Who Humbly Walks Before You, My God
For Holy Love That Does
And
Not For The Promised Rewards! 

Thank You For Your Abiding Love That Eternally Lasts! 
I Am Grateful For The Knowledge That Proves That
Godly Obedience Delivers
And
Love To God Elevates! 
Thank You For Hearing And Answering Prayer
For It Is In Jesus Christ's Holy Name That
I Humbly Pray And Plead!
Please Come For Us Soon!
AMEN!!!
