HAPPY SABBATH + The Virgin And The Party Animal!









Truth And Error 
Are Like A Virgin Serene
And 
A Party Animal Mean! 

The Truth ... That Virgin
Speaks Softly, Firmly And Pointedly 
Staying In Time And On Target
Walks The Strait Line On The Narrow Path 
And
Is Not Afraid Of The Frigid, Furious
Challenges Of The Naysayers And Soothsayers: 
Truth Is Love, Loving, And Lovely! 

By Contrast, Error ... That Party Animal 
Daringly Bedecked
Proud, Loud
A Night Walker On A Mission To Impress By Expression
Has No Brakes, No Limits Nor Leashes
And
Favors Neither Facts Nor Tender Feelings! 

Error ... A Terror
Is
A Thief And A Goad
Fearless, Lawless
A Painted Person Often Caught Wearing Light
And Is
A Gross And Poisonous Toad:
It's An Impressive Sight! 

Beloved, 

Be Warned! 

Error Survives And Prospers By Gently Expressing 
A Kernel Of Truth 
Which Gains For It A Sympathetic And Empathizing Ear! 

To Send Man Astray 
Is 
Error's Only Care! 

Behold Grace ... 

Sweet, Blessed, Truth
Kind, Benign
Has Borders And Known Ties
And
Will Not Waffle, Wander, Nor Wobble 
Because 
Truth Is Straight ... And Plain 
No Matter If You Strip Her
And
Hit Her 
Or Try To Rip Her Apart! 
Truth Is Wholly Holy
And
Serves The Great King Only! 

Truth ... Saving Truth 
Is 
Of The Living Holy God
And Therefore
Is Not ... Cannot 
Ever Be A Fraud! 

Truth Reigns In Beautiful Beulah
The Land Of The Forever Blessed! 

Brethren, Beloved 

Stick To Truth 
And 
Be A Spiritual Success 
Blessed Of Jesus Christ The King 
Our God 
And 
Soon-Returning Lord
Who Brings With Him
Every Person's Due And Earned Reward! 


Truth Was Truth Yesterday!
Truth Is Truth Today!
Truth Shall Always Be Truth
Where The Sun Of Righteousness
Reigns And Rules!!

Familiarity With Sin Breeds Contempt For Sin!







It Is A Fact That 
Those Persons Who Live Close To Airports 
Are Not Bothered By The Roar Of Jet Engines 
Once They Have Become Accustomed To The Noise: 
Familiarity Breeds Contempt! 

Being Close To Sin 
Getting Personally Involved With Sin
Causes Us To Consider Sin As No Big Deal
And
We Soon Refuse To See Sin As Being Exceedingly Sinful
And
A Great Snare To Our Purchased Souls! 

Beloved, 

Are You Becoming Comfortable With Sin!?! 

Are You No Longer Bothered By Lil' White Lies
Five-Finger Discounts
Robbery, Murder, Adultery
Covetousness
Dishonoring Your Parents
Being A False-Oath Taker
Indulging Idolatry ... And The Like!?!

Are You So Into "Doing You" 
And 
Living "Your Truth" That You Have Forgotten That 
Every Committed Sin Crucifies Our Lord Christ Afresh!?! 

Wise Up ... 

The Doings Of Bold Sinners May Seem Exciting 
And
Be Looked Upon Favorably By The "In" Crowd 
And
Viewed Jealously By The Wannabe-Cool Crowd: 
Do Not Be Deceived! 

Almighty God 
Is 
Neither Sleeping, Fooled ... Nor Mocked! 

Heads Up ... 

The Great Day Of Small Things
The Day Of Accounts
The Day Of Reckoning 
Is 
Fast Approaching 
And
There Will Be No Discounts For 
"I Didn't Know!" 
"I Didn't Understand!"
Or
"I Thought I Was Exempt!" 

Stop And Think! 
Be Still! 
Look Around You! 
Look Up 
And
Turn Away From The Dead-End Path Of Daring Disobedience
And
Remember That Who Encourages You To Sin
Aka Who Helps You To Buy A Big-Belly Horse 
Will Not Help You Feed It! 

Your Encourager Will Also Be Your Exposer
But
Never, Ever, Your Healer! 

There Is No Profit In Sin! 

Believe It ... 

Jesus Christ Saves: 
Soul Salvation Pays!

Whose Voice Is That!?!






Do You Know The True Sound Of The Voice Of Jesus Christ 
Or 
Are You Amongst Those Who Boldly Declare That 
Because We Are Beings Created By The Lord
Our Voices
And 
The Voice Of Almighty God 
Are Indistinguishable From Each Other!?! 

This Idea Leaves Us Ripe For 
And 
Open To Satan's Deceptions!

Lord, Please Preserve Your Children! 

Jesus Christ Said That 
His Sheep Hear His Voice 
So It Is Impossible For A Christ-Follower 
- Personally Known By The LordJesus -
To Respond To Any Other Voice Save That Of Their Lord! 

Whose Voice Are You Hearing!?! 

Whose Teachings Are You Following!?! 

Are You Following The Fashion That 
Is 
Imbuing Carnal Creatures With The Voice 
And
Power Of The Eternal Creator-God!?! 

Beloved, 

When We Humbly Pray 
And
Ask For The Holy Spirit To Guide Our Minds 
As We Diligently Search And Read The Living Word Of God
We Will Hear 
And
Intimately Know The Voice Of Our Dear Lord! 

The Holy Spirit Of God Guides Us Into All Truth 
And
He Will Never Contradict The Preserved 
"Thus Saith The Lord!" 

Be Vigilant! 

Just As All Around Us 
Is 
Counterfeit Food, Shoes And Clothing
About Which We Are Regularly Warned
Beware False Prophets, Priests, Miracles 
And
The Lying And Corrupt Words From False Christs 
Who Promote Self Aka Flesh 
And
Self-Exaltation! 

BeWise Unto Your Own Soul's Salvation
And
Do Not Seek That Which 
Is Not 
Yours To Claim, Own Or Use!

Jesus Christ's Voice 
The Voice Of The Creator, Savior
Redeemer, Lord, God, Shepherd
And
Forever Faithful Friend
And
Judge Of All Flesh
Calls Us To Reconciliation
And
Speaks Peace: 
Our Voices ... Issuing From Thankful Hearts
Grateful For Grace
Are For Prayer And Praise! 

Keep Your Place:
Follow Christ!

Pride Is A Holey Roof-Top!







The Stories Of 
Lucifer Being Cast Out Of Heaven 
And
Adam And Eve Being Cast Out Of Eden 
Are Cautionary Tales: Take Heed! 

Never Blame Others 
For The Messes That You Heaven-Daringly Create 
And
Never Be Too Proud To Humbly Say That You're Sorry! 

Surprise: No Surprise ...

Almighty God 
Is Not 
Responsible For Our Tawdry Thoughts And Wayward Ways!
 
Lucifer Had Power, Position, And Prestige 
But
He Desired Worship 
And
Sowed Discord By Innuendo, Deceit And Outright Lies! 

Lucifer Would Have Been Forgiven 
If
He Had Chosen Humility And Apology:
He Boldly Chose War And ... Homelessness! 

Adam And Eve Were Warned Of The Adversary! 

Eve Was Beguiled 
But
Adam Indulged Willful Disobedience! 

Adam Blamed God And Eve 
And
Eve Blamed The Serpent For Their Misfortunes! 
They Never Acknowledged Their Failures 
And
Never Said "Sorry!"
And
They Were Cast Out Of Paradise! 

Beloved, 

Willfulness, Disobedience, Pride And Arrogance 
Is 
A Box Made Of Two Knife-Edged Triangles 
Because
Self Is The Trap In The Middle! 

The Triangles Poke Hard 
And 
Cut Clean
And
The Box Is Self-Sealing!

Brethren, Beloved, 

Be Wise: 
Don't Dig Your Own Grave!
 
Be Humble: 
Pride Is A Holey Roof-Top!
 
Humbly Approach The Throne Of Grace: 
Better Is A Rough Rag With The Lord Christ 
Than A Rich Robe With Satan! 

Get Your Heart Right With God! 


Peace
With Almighty God
Gracefully Grows!

Walking Wobbly Around Jesus Christ For The Present!?!

 

 




We, Each, Need To Ask Ourselves A Very Bold Question 
And
Answer It Baldly: 

"If I Am Trusting Jesus Christ The Lord For My Soul's Salvation 
Which I Believe In For An Eternity Which I Cannot Comprehend
Why Am I Not Totally Trusting This Same Jesus 
To Take Care Of Me And My Concerns In This Life 
With Which I Am Intimately Familiar And Presently At Home!?!" 

Beloved, 

We Need To Do Better 
And
Be Better In Our Walk With The Lord! 

Jesus Christ Says:

 "Trust Me And Obey!
Lean On And Learn From Me!
Take Your Daily Gift Of Daily Faith 
And
Use It To Take Me At My Living Word!
Believe Me For Your Present 
And
Walk With Me Toward Your Future!" 

But

We Are Believing Him For Our Future 
And 
Walking Wobbly Around Him For The Present 
And 
The Presents Which We Should Be Eagerly Waiting To Open! 

Take Heed ... 

If We Don't Trust Jesus Christ With Our Present-Day Needs
It Is Sure That We Will Have 
No Future Pursuits With Him In Eternity 
Because 
Doubters Cannot Receive 
The Promised Gifts Of The Faithful Saints! 

We Must Do Better! 

Let's Walk In Faith 
And
Stop Running Around With Blind-Man Sight! 
Jesus Christ Is Faithful: 
Wholly Trust Him!

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!
