VISITATION: The Fears Of The Wicked!






What A Wicked Person Fears The Most 
Shall Surely Visit Him!
 
Wicked People Fear Exposure Of Their Unholy Deeds
Ruin Of Their Carefully-Crafted "Reputation"
Loss Of Their Stolen Riches
Destruction Of Their Swanky House-Of-Cards Estate
Being Poor, Weak And Vulnerable
And 
The Great Equalizer ... Death! 

The Faithful Child And Servant Of God 
And
Diligent Student Of The School Of Christ 
Desires The Goodness, Gifts, Benefits 
And 
Blessings Abundant Spoken By The Mouth Of Almighty God 
And 
Memorialized In The Word Of God!

We, Christians Called And Committed
Being Faithful, Obedient And Enduringly Trusting 
And
Ever Truthful In Life 
And
Unto Death 
Shall, In The Great Day, Receive The Desire Of Our Hearts
Being Forever At Home With Our Lord And God! 

Beloved, 

Do Not Envy Or Follow The Wicked 
Who Ruin Themselves And Others: 
They Refuse To Know Jesus Christ 
And
Don't Choose Great Goodness And Available Grace! 

Please, I Beseech Us All
No Matter The Temptation
The Test
The Torment
The Bribe Or Supposed Benefit
Or The "We All In This Common Good!" Popular Notion
Choose To Stay On The Lord's Side 
Seeking The Good Portions 
And
Refusing To Be Pierced Through With The Many Sorrows 
Which Are The Self-Designed Lot Of Evil Men And Seducers 
Who Are On Satan The Damned's Putrid Payroll! 

Dare To Delight The Lord Of Love: 
Deal Fairly, Justly, Honestly And Rightly! 

Decide, By Grace ... For Love ... To Do Good 
And
Almighty God's Goodness Will Attend You Always 
And
In All Ways! 


Warring Against Sin
Is
Wisdom!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Are You Bearing Fruit!?!







Fig Trees Are Known To Bear Fruit Twice A Year
Offer Great Shade
And
Speak To Us Of Peace And Prosperity!

Be Not, I Pray Thee, A Leafy, Fruitless, Fig Tree 
For Such A One As This Did Jesus Christ Curse 
For Having No Fruit To Still His Hunger! 

To Have ... To Be ... A Fruitful Tree 
Is 
A Blessing Beyond Measure!
 
A Laden Fig Tree 
Aka A Working, Watching, Waiting Servant 
Aka Saint Of God And Christ 
Is 
A Treasure Sheltered, Protected, Blessed 
And
Honored By The Lord, Our Master
The Kind King
The Judge Of All Flesh! 

Are You At Your Post Of Duty Doing Willing Service 
Or Are You A Show-Pony Shaking Your Tail-Feathers
High-Stepping 
And 
Flinging Your Head Around To The Intoxicating Sounds Of 
The Bewitching Siren Of Sin 
Who Encourages The Careless
The Listless
The Loose And The Lawless
To Use Their Liberty As License To Disregard Duty!?! 

Beloved, 

We Have One Duty ... One Work ... To Perform: 
Serve The King 
And
Bear Fruit Unto Righteousness! 

Are You At Your Post!?! 
Will You Be Found Faithful!?! 

Our Master Is Coming 
And
He Is Hungry! 
He Sees Your Leafy Branches: 
Will He Find Fruit So That He Will Honor You 
And
Be Glad Of His Investment In Your Life!?! 

Please Pray About It! 


Don't Sell Out
The Savior For Silver! 
Don't Give Away
The God Of Grace For Gold! 
Don't Discard
What You Can't Buy Back
And
Don't Let Your Heart For Christ
Grow Cold!

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

Peace ... Not Pride ... Is Precious!

HAPPY SABBATH + Make Wrong Things Right!








We Are Children Twice: 
Children Of The Living God By Creation 
And 
Redemption 
And
Birthed Children Of Our Earthly Parents! 
Our Parents Lovingly Desire What Is Best For Us! 

The One Thing That Our Parents Teach Us 
And 
Truly Desire That We Display 
And
We Should Of Our Own Free Will 
And
By Choice Practice 
Is
A Grateful, Thankful, Heart! 

Beloved, 

Our Heavenly Father ... In His Eternal Wisdom
Has Asked Us To Give Thanks In Everything 
Aka For Everything 
Aka Through Everything 
Aka Despite Certain Things! 

Are You A Practicing Thankful Person!?! 

Are You Remembering Your Home Training 
Where You Were Taught To Say 
"Please!" 
"Thank You!" 
"May I ....!"
"How Are You!?!"

Or
 
Are You Departed From The Good Way 
And
Are Living With The Attitude Of 
"Gimme This!" 
"I Deserve That!" 
"Why Didn't I Get The Biggest 
Best Most Expensive 
Prettiest Thingie Out There!?!" 

The Training By Our Earthly Parents Was For A Short Season 
But
The Training Received Of Our Lord Christ 
- Through The Ministrations Of The Holy Spirit Of Truth - 
Lasts For Our Lifetime! 

Are You Present In Class!?! 
Are You Taking In The Training!?! 
Are You Cementing Your Learning By Doing As You Are Taught!?! 
Are You A Teacher's Pet 
Or 
Are You Indulging Self 
And 
Shaming Yourself ... And Your Parents!?!
Dare To Truthfully Answer! 

Living Life
Is
An Opportunity
To Make Wrong Things Right:
Cooperate With The Lord Jesus Christ!

Stop Re-Arranging The Facts!








Speech Belongs To Almighty God! 
Respect Is Due To A Dog! 
Rules Are Not Made To Be Broken 
And
Rearranging The Facts Of A Matter 
Does Not Turn A Bold, Base, Lie Into The Truth! 

Beloved, 

We May Do What We Want 
But
We May Not Do It To Whomever As Long As We Want 
Because 
The Judge Of All Flesh Reigns ... And Rules 
In The Living, Glorious, Kingdom! 

All Too Often 
In The Mistaken Belief That The Sun Rises 
And 
Sets At Our Personal Behest
We Do Unconscionable Things To Others 
In Order To Feel Good About Ourselves! 
Just Stop Already! 

External "Thrills" Will Never Satisfy A Spiritual Desire 
So Let's Take All Of Our Burdens To Our God In Prayer! 

Just In Case You Are Doubtful
Look At The Published Record Of All Those 
Whom Satan And His Lost Legion Have Goaded
Inspired
And 
Tempted To Indulge Gross Folly 
To The Point Of Hospital Bed
Wheel-Chair
Prison Cell
Or Death! 

Let's Not Be Lawless! 

Let's Remember That 
Our Lord Has Promised Never To Leave Us
Nor Forsake Us 
And
Let's Dare To Pray Without Ceasing 
Even When We Don't Feel Like It 
Or Just Don't Know What To Say! 


We Do Not Know How To Pray As We Ought!

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

The Holy Spirit Interprets Our Prayers!

Be Careful, Though! 

Praying Only Works For Those Who Believe That 
The Promises Of Almighty God 
- Through Jesus Christ The Lord - 
Are True 
And That 
He Is Real, Able And Available 
And
Willing And Ready To Deliver Us
And
Deliver For Us! 

Do Right ... And Prosper!

Love Others: Vanquish Evil!






We Cannot Touch Love 
But 
We Are Touched By Love! 

We Cannot Measure Love 
But 
We Are Measured By Our Love For One Another! 

We Cannot See Love 
But 
Love Can Be Seen Through Us! 

We Cannot Weigh Love 
But 
The Weight Of Love Can Be Felt By Us Enough 
To Make Even The Most Oppressive Existence 
Feel As Light As Air! 

Beloved, 

We Cannot Go To The Mall Or The Corner Store 
And 
Purchase A Pound, A Penny Or A Pinch Of Love 
But
We May Go To A Friend
A Family Member
A Stranger 
And
Even Our Favorite Enemy 
And
Minister To Their Need Compliments Of Love
The Everlasting Love Of The Eternal God 
And
Be Made More, Not Less, For The Experience! 

Expressing Love Is Not A Sign Of Weakness: 
It Is Strength! 

Expressing Love To The Unlovable Is Not Folly: 
It Is Faith! 

Loving Others 
Is 
A Part Of Our Work To Bless Others 
In Jesus Christ's Holy Name! 

Love Others: Vanquish Evil! 

Brethren, Beloved 

Never Forget That Almighty God Is Love 
And 
When We Love
We Are "Using" Almighty God 
As We Are Led By God The Holy Spirit! 

To Be Loving
Is 
To Have An Amazing Gift, Talent, Blessing, Privilege: 
Don't Squander It By Neglect, Misuse
Disbelief Or Doubt! 

Dare To Minister Grace
- The Living God's Everlasting Love -
To Some Dear Soul Today!

 
Find Your Peace In Love!

SEXUAL SIN: Superfluous Naughtiness!?!






There Is Nothing Cute About Naughtiness 
Since It Is Attached To Filthiness
Uncleanness
And 
Lewdness 
Which All Refer To Sexual Sin! 

Sexual Sin 
Is 
Always Against Your Self! 

Anything That Is Superfluous 
Is 
Unnecessary
Does Not Serve Any Good Purpose 
And
Should Be Avoided At All Costs! 

Sad To Say ...

In These Times In Which We Live
Naughty Is Nice
Superfluous Is A Necessity 
And
Filthiness Is De Rigueur Aka Fashionable! 

Beloved, 

We Have At Our Fingertips 
The Sure Word Of Almighty God Known Able To Save Us 
If And When
It Is Engrafted Aka Cut Into
- Made A Part Of Our Lives -
To Make Us Sweeter, Stronger
And
Act And Live Better
To Profit Us Eternally! 

You Are Not Alone ...

We Are Encouraged To Meekly Seek The Eternal God 
By Righteousness Aka Right-Doing
Inner Humility ... Not The Public Kind For Praise
And
Patience! 

What You Put In
Is
What You Get Out!

Let's Permit Patience To Do Her Perfect Work In Us 
To Thoroughly Prepare Us 
To Meet Our Lord, God And King
The Final Judge Of All Flesh! 

Be Wise ...

No One Can Force You To Be Naughty 
And
No One Can Force You To  Be Nice! 

We Are Free-Will Agents 
With Freedom To Choose To Do Right ... Or Not! 

We Who Choose To Be Free In Jesus Christ 
Will ... By Saving Grace
Separate Ourselves From Sexual Sin 
Even If We Are Called Prudes And Killjoys! 



Jesus Christ Paid For Our Peace:
Don't Squander It!

Double-Minded Christian!?!






Just In Case We Conveniently Forgot The Fact
Neither Love And Hate
Good And Evil
Truth And Error
Light And Darkness
Friend And Foe
Faith And Doubt
Cowardice And Courage
Nor Bitter And Sweet 
Can Exist In Or Proceed From 
The Same Source At The Same Time: 
These Things Cancel Out Each Other! 

We Cannot Bless And Honor 
And
Curse And Humiliate A Person In The Same Breath 
And
It Is Certain That We Cannot Praise God 
And
Pet Satan At One And The Same Time! 

Beloved, 

A Double-Minded Aka Two-Faced 
Aka Deceitful Christian 
Has To Be Most Miserable, Unhappy
Dangerous Traveler Under The Sun: 
We Cannot Live Like That And Rise Up To Glory! 

Wittingly Building Our Dream House On Sinking Sand 
Marks Us As Devoid Aka Empty Of Wisdom 
And 
Her Understanding 
And
Patently Shows Us To Be Incapable 
Aka Unable To Use Received Knowledge For Profit: 
This State Of Affairs Should Not Exist 
Because 
There Are No Fools In The Kingdom Of God! 

We Cannot Go Forward By Walking Backward 
And
We Cannot Show Love By Serving Hate! 

Jesus Christ The Lord ... The King ... The Judge
Is 
Truth, Love, Light, Life 
And
The Only Way Home To The Father's House!

Remember, Remember
Don't Ever Forget ...

We Are Jesus Christ's Followers
The Salt Of The Earth 
And 
Light Of The World 
And 
We Are Being Blessed To Become Like Him 
So Dare To Firmly Fix Your Focus On Your Father 
Who Is The Same Yesterday, Today And Forever!

Digging Down Is Death: 
Look Up
Build Up
And
Live To Rise Up To The Heavenly Glory Of Our Lord!


Christians Committed To Christ
Do Not Scatter What He Has Sown
But
Faithfully, Diligently
Sow Good Seeds With Him
With The Hope For An Abundant Harvest!

TEMPTATION: You Know The Devil's Devices!







There Is No Sin In Being Tempted
But
There Is A Problem With 
Being Regularly Tempted By The Same Sin!

Falling Into Divers Aka Different Temptations 
Suggests Onward, Upward, Mobility In Our Christian Growth! 
All Christians Must Grow Up In Grace!

Beloved, 

Nobody Plans To Fall! 
Falling Happens When One Is Unaware Of A Pitfall
Is Careless About One's Surroundings 
Or One Just Loses One's Balance! 

We Are Warned Of The Devil's Devices 
And
We Know 
And 
Should Be Within The Hedge Of Protection That 
The Lord Provides For His People! 

When We Find Ourselves Being Tempted By 
And
Giving Into The Same Temptation 
And
Committing The Same Sin Repeatedly
We Need To Take Stock Of Our Thoughts
Look At Those With Whom We Are Walking
And
Reevaluate Our Commitment To Christ 
And
Our Growth In His Grace! 

The Temptation
That Is Not
Forcefully Resisted
The First Time That It Appears
Comes Back Harder And Harder To Resist
Each Time That We Fail To Overcome It!

Think Carefully ...

A Healthy And Fit Person Crawling Like A Baby 
Has A Problem Which Must Be Patiently Corrected 
And
Likewise The Christian Who Is Not Forcefully
Patiently, Prayerfully
Daily Conquering The Minor Temptations 
To Grow Strong Spiritual Muscles 
To Deal With The Major Temptations Known Up Ahead! 

Be Wise ... 

Don't Play With Temptation! 
Chop Off Temptation's Head By The Word Of Truth
And
Stay Constantly In Prayer:
Take Your Burden To The Lord
Pray For The Outpouring Of The Holy Spirit
Take The Living God At His Holy Word
And
Dare To Walk ... Enduringly ... In Unfailing Faith!
Jesus Christ ... Alone ... Saves!


Your Temptation
Is
Dressed To Thrill You!
Have A "Thus Saith The Lord"
At The Ready To Decimate It!

If You Neglect One Doctor
He Will Not Complain 
But
You Will Feel The Lack And The Loss 
And

Don't Be Like The Prettified, Over-Stuffed, Three-Legged Chair! 

The Chair You Can't Sit Upon
And
The Tree That Will Not Fruit
Are Both Utterly Useless!

Let's Be Wise 
And 
Bless The Lord Who Blesses Us With Perfect Doctors 
Whose Services Are Free-Free 
To Me And Thee ... Today 
And 
Today! 
Tomorrow's Sun Will Never Rise!

HAPPY SABBATH + MERCY AND GRACE ARE KISSING: Wait On The Lord!









We Who Wait Upon The Lord 
Shall Renew Our Strength! 
We Who Diligently Seek After The Lord 
Shall Surely Find Him! 

Beloved, 

When You Choose To Wait Upon The Lord
It Is Because You Know, Believe, That 
You Will Receive Some Desired Blessing From His Holy Hand: 
You're Waiting Patiently 
On Him Who Is Faithful To His Word! 

When We Seek After The Lord 
It Is Because We Desire To Know 
And
To Be Known 
By Him Who Already Knows Everything About Us! 

The Difference There, Then
Is 
That There Is Give And Take
Hear And Listen
Rest And Refreshment
Direction And Correction
Provision And Protection 
And 
All Because We Choose To Have Communion
Communication
A Committed Relationship With Him Who Calls Us
Is 
Able To Help Us
Has Bought Aka Redeemed Us 
And
Is Waiting To Reform
Regenerate
Recreate Us In His Image
In His Likeness 
So That We May Dwell In Peace With Him Forever! 

Waiting On The Lord Christ 
Is 
Not Laziness 
But Is 
A Time Of Preparedness! 
Get Ready ... And Stay Ready
And
Don't Fall The 
"Nothing Has Changed Since The Fathers Died!"
Crock O' Snot That Willful Minds Employ
To Ignore Correcting Bad Habits
To Reject Pursuing Truth
And
To Dismiss Doing What's Right In The Living God's Holy Sight!

Be Ye Warned And Blessed ...

The Door Of Mercy 
Is 
Open For Business Now: 
Use The Door! 
Reach For And Touch The Hand Of Mercy 
Until The Connection Is Dynamic! 

The Day Is Coming When Mercy Will Demit 
Aka Get Up From The Throne Of God 
And 
Man Will Have No Intercessor:
It Isn't That No One Is Interceding!
It Is That There Is No One To Intercede
And
There Is No One To Intercede For
And
All That Is Left Is Dread Judgment!

Confess And Repent Of Known Sins Now!
Take Christ As Your Eternal Portion!
Be Humble
And
Hold To God's Unchanging Hand Of Grace
- The Bringer Of Mercy -
Which Has Hope, Help And Healing
Available For Whosoever Desires
To Believe The Word
And
Receive The Abundant And Infinite Blessings!


Brethren, Beloved

Dare To Seek For 
And 
Wait On The Savior  ... Now
While Grace And Mercy Are Kissing!

CHRISTIANS: Peculiar Privileged People






The Word On Everybody's Tongue Today 
Is 
Privilege! 

We Are Being Asked To Check, As In Arrest, Our Privilege 
As Though Privilege 
Is 
A Bad Thing!
All Privileges Are Not Created Equal!

Beloved, 

We Are Christians ... Christ's Followers
And
By Virtue Of Our Faithful Association
We Have Access, Reach, Grasp And Hold!
We Are Peculiarly Privileged
So I Encourage Us All To Embrace 
The High And Holy Privilege That 
We Each Have Been Accorded By The Lord Of Life
The Creator-God
The Joy Of Every Man! 

Consider That We Are The Apple Of The Eternal God's Eye 
Even As He Holds The World In His Hand 
And 
He ... Personally Invited
Lives In Each Of Our Hearts! 

Think On These Things ...

We Have The Free And Open Invitation 
To, At-Will, Boldly Approach The Throne Of Grace 
In The Heavenly Sanctuary! 

We Are Encouraged To Reason With Our Maker! 

We Are Asked To Let Our Requests 
Be Made Known Unto The Living God! 

We Are Given Freedom
Free Will 
And 
The Choice To Worship Him
- Or Not Worship Him - 
Who Could Easily Deprive Us Of Life: 
No Force Is Employed! 

If These Things Are Not Privileges
We Will Never Ever Know 
What Makes Something A Real Privilege! 

Our God Is Holy, Kind, Loving
Giving, Forgiving
The Mighty Healer
The Sealer Of Souls
The Revealer Of Truths That Never Die!

We Are Invited To Enter His Courts ... Without Fear
So Let's Dare ... Today
To Ignore The World 
And
Choose To Embrace The Privilege 
Personally Given To Each Of Us 
To Become A Son Or Daughter Of The God Of Love 
Who Inhabits Eternity 
And
Has A Personal Place Prepared For Each Of Us 
In His Heavenly House Of Peace And Joys Forevermore! 

Remember, Remember 
Don't Ever Forget ... 

Earthly Privileges Are Ours To Enjoy
If
We Please ... Or Are Of A Benefit To ... The Giver
But
Heavenly Privileges Are Ours 
To Accept Or RejectUse Or Ignore!
No One Can Force Us To Use Our God-Given Privileges
And
No One ... Human Or Spirit
Can Force Us Not To Use Our Privileges! 

The Lord God Almighty Calls Us To His Side
And
To Be Like Him
By Taking Hold And Fully Utilizing 
The Privileges He Lovingly Accords Us! 

We ... Taught Of God And Faithful ... Know Who He Is! 
We Know Who We Are Because Of Sin! 
We Know Who We Will Be By, In, And Through Him
Through His Free-To-All Salvation! 

The Final Outcome ... Our Final Outcome
Will Always Be According To Our Exercised Sovereign Will! 

Brethren, Beloved

Please Choose Your Final Port Of Call Wisely!
 
Having ... And Being In ... Perfect Peace With 
The Eternal God Of Grace And Glory
Is
The Blessed And Sacred Privilege Of
The Saints Of Almighty God And Jesus Christ The Lord!
