Are You Proudly Serving Yourself Or Humbly Serving The Savior!?!

The Proud, Presumptuous, Heart 

Will Never Be Humble  ... Or Humble Enough 

To Give In To The Desire To Respect Others 

And 

Their Rights! 

How, Then, Could A Proud Known Self-Serving Person 

Be A True Christ Follower!?! 

The Lord Jesus ... Our Great And Glorious Example

Was Meek And Lowly Of Heart

And 

We Are Told ... Cautioned ... That 

Against A Meek And Gentle Spirit

There Is No Law! 

Beloved, 

Pride 

Is 

A Devilish Trait Of Character 

And 

Presumption

- Acting With Fore-Knowledge And Malicious Intent - 

Is 

Simply Bold, Heaven-Daring, Sinning 

With Mere Men, Women And Children 

Acting As Their Own God: 

The True And Eternal God 

Is 

Lowered To The Status Of A Despised Servant! 

The Proud Heart 

Is 

Its Own God

So, Therefore, A Proud Christian 

And 

A Presumptuous Saint Are Fallacies 

And 

All Of Us Who Are Students Of The School Of Jesus

And 

Of The Family Of God

Presently Striving For The Mastery Of Self 

To Gain The Victory Over Sin 

And 

Escape The Clutches Of Satan

Seriously Need To Return To The Basics: 

Jesus Christ First! 

Truth First! 

Light First! 

The Way First 

Aka Jesus Christ First, Last 

And

Always! 

Truth Frees ... 

Self Is A Sinner: 

The Savior Is Our Sure And Secure Salvation! 

Humility Elevates: 

Pride Decimates! 

Be Wise For Yourself ...

Check Your Attitude: 

Dare To Follow The Book

And

Clean Out To Climb Up! 

Dare To Live In Godly Fear! 

Serving Others Is Not A Bug-Bear! 

Self-Serving Doesn't Serve Self

Because

It Superbly Serves Satan! 

bath-ROBE Of Righteousness!?!

Never Ever Make Jokes Out Of The Eternal Word Of God 

Or Use It To Score Points Against Others 

To Satisfy Yourself Aka Your Vanity! 

What Do You Think You're Doing ... 

Imagine Putting On Your Fluffy, Colorful, Bathrobe

And 

Calling It Your "Robe Of Righteousness" 

And 

Having Your Big White Cup Of Tea 

And 

Calling It Your Cup Of "Goodness And Mercy" 

That Will 

"Follow You All The Days Of Your Life!" 

Have You Lost Your Mind!?! 

Plainly Stated

This Is Lawlessness Writ Large 

And 

Serves No Good Purpose 

Save To Mark You As A Ready Tool Of 

The Damned-For-All-Eternity Devil! 

It Is Also Contemptible

And

Is Truly Beneath Anyone Calling Themselves

A Bible-Believing Christian!

Beloved, 

The Word Of God Will Not Be Made A Common Thing 

When We Choose To Remember That 

Jesus Christ The Righteous King

Is 

The Word Of God

And

The Word Of God Who Became Flesh

And

For Our Salvation

Willingly Dwelt Among Us! 

The Robe Of Righteousness 

Is 

The Gift To Be Given To Each Overcomer Of Sin 

And, Obviously

Cannot Be Manufactured

Acquired

Worn 

Or Displayed 

At The Whim And Fancy Of A Deluded 

And 

Corrupt Carnal Mind! 

It's One Thing To Intimately Know The Lord! 

It's Quite Another To Indulge Contemptuous Familiarity!

Please Humbly Remember With Gratitude And Thankfulness

Who Holds Our Lives In His Holy, Healing, Helping Hands! 

Let's Remember That 

We Must Give A Full Accounting To Almighty God

In The Very Person Of The Lord Jesus Christ 

For Our Every Thought, Word And Action 

And

Wisely Choose Here And Now 

To Tread Softly In The Presence Of Almighty God

The Judge Of All Flesh

Holy Angels Who Minister To Us Recipients Of 

Jesus Christ's Free-To-All Salvation 

And 

Men Who Are Our Companions In The Struggle For Life! 

Cheap Shots At 

And 

Through Abuse Of The Word Of God 

Make For Expensive And Even Deadly Wounds 

For Both The Speaker 

And 

Their Hearers! 

Please Do Not Lead Others Astray!

Recalling Foolish Words Is Impossible

So Think Before You Talk ... Trash

And

Pray Before You Spray ... Nonsense! 

Only Jesus Christ Saves Sinners

From

Self, Sin And Satan

Death, The Grave And Hell!

What Kind Of Fruit Are You Serving!?!

Character Flaws ... Found In Every Last One Of Us

Must Be Overcome 

If We Will Enter The Heavenly Paradise Of Peace! 

Nobody Likes A Vengeful, Spiteful

Dishonest, Insincere, Entitled

Proud

And 

Uncontrollable Person! 

Sin 

Is 

Surely Knocking At That Heart's Door!

Our Flaws Aka Faults 

Are Undesirable Traits Of Character 

Which Must Be Gotten Rid Of 

And 

If We Don't We Will Be No More Than 

Nice And Nifty Bouncy Balls 

For Satan The Damned To Use, Abuse, Discard 

And 

Destroy! 

Our Cultivated Character 

Determines

Our Final Destination! 

Beloved, 

Please Be Aware That 

We Are To Confess Our Sins To Almighty God 

And 

Our Flaws To Each Other 

And 

Not The Other Way Around! 

Do Not Be Deceived!

Think Carefully 

About What Your Flaws Have Already Cost You 

And 

How Feeding Your Known Flaws 

Has Encouraged You To Commit Known Sin! 

The God Of Grace ... Known Holy

Loves Us Enough 

To Have Given Us Fruit Of The Holy Spirit 

To Counteract Our Flaws 

And 

It Is In Our Best Interests 

To Change Our Present Direction 

And Allow

Love, Joy, Peace

Gentleness, Goodness, Meekness

Patience, Faithfulness

And 

Self-Control 

To Have Their Wonderful Way In Our Lives 

So That We Do Not Lose The Gifted Home On High 

Which We Cannot Ever Buy! 

Getting Rid Of Habits That Cannot Profit 

Does Not Cost Us Anything Save Time 

Which Is Also A Gift From God!

 

Be Wise ...

Work Out 

Your Own Soul's Already Purchased-For-You Salvation

With Fear And Trembling! 

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: PRAYER: Looking Beyond My Brethren's Faults!

PRAYER:

Lord,

I Love You

And

I Come In Working Faith, Nothing Wavering

Knowing That You Will Never Turn Me Away Empty-Handed!

I Praise You And Worship And Adore You!

In Your Loving And Holy Presence

I Take Myself To Task Today

And

Humbly, Gratefully, Remind Myself That

You, By Grace And Mercy Free

Looked Beyond My Faults

And

Saw My Needs

And

Have Done All That Is Possible

To Make The Way Plain For Me To Escape Self

And

Depart From Sin

And

Walk Safely Into Salvation!

I Give Unto You Heartfelt Thanks And Praise

And

Ask You To Help Me, In Christian Charity

In Christ-Like Love

To Daily Deal Likewise With My Brethren

As I  ... By Right ... Desire To Enter That Special Gate

In The Glorious Kingdom Above

For The Character-Flaw Of Which

I Shall Be Known An Overcomer!

Please Help Me To Take To Heart

The Lesson You Taught Which States That

Peace-Makers Are Blessed

And

Are Called The Children Of God!

Please Help Me, Dear Father

To Remember Whose I Am

And

The Prize For Which I Am Striving

And

Bless Me To Keep Jesus Christ In My Heart

Zion In My Eyesight

And

A Civil Word On My Tongue

As The Holy Angels Influence Me

To Do What Is Good And Right

While The Holy Spirit Leads Me Into All Truth

And

Gently Corrects Me

When I Stray From The Straight And Narrow Way

To Everlasting Life!

Please Help Me To Bear Good Fruit Unto Righteousness

In Jesus Christ's Holy Name

I Humbly Pray And In Need Plead!

Please Come For Us Soon!

AMEN! 

HAPPY SABBATH + Love Loves Another!

 

No Matter What Is Happening In Our Lives

The Words "Nobody Loves Me!" 

Should Ever Escape Anybody's Mouth 

And 

Even Less The Mouth Of A Christian 

Committed To The Lord Jesus Christ! 

When Your Maker Is Your Savior 

And 

The Lover Of Your Soul 

And

Your Redeemer Is Your Rest 

And 

The Refuge Where You Are Made Heart-Whole

Dare To Believe The Words Of Life

And 

Choose To Walk Enduringly ... Faithfully

In The Ways Of The Wise That 

Lead To Everlasting Life! 

Get Close To Him Who 

Is 

A Nurturing Heat 

And 

A Well-Watered Garden Of Abundance 

To Those Desiring Peace With The Heavenly Father 

And

The Consuming Fire 

To Those Who Choose The Way Of 

The Proud And Presumptuous Rebel

Satan The Damned

The Wannabe God! 

Beloved, 

You Are Loved Beyond Measured! 

You Are Blessed Beyond Knowing! 

You Are Comforted Even When It Is Not Visibly Showing 

And

You Are Protected 

Because 

Almighty God's Free Grace To You 

Is 

Ever-Flowing! 

Please, I Beseech Us All

Remember That If You Were The Only Human On Earth

Jesus Christ The Righteous Would Still Have Died To Save You! 

He Died For You

And 

His Love For You 

Is 

For You Alone! 

Jesus Christ Wept Over His Beloved Dead: 

Let Him Rejoice Over Your Salvation With Singing! 

Remember, Remember 

Don't Ever Forget ... 

Love Doesn't Love Love: 

Love Loves Another! 

Love On Someone Today: 

Receive Love By Giving! 

Peace! 

Happy, Helped And Hopeful!

Happy ... Helped ... Hopeful: 

This Is The Living Legacy Of 

Almighty God's Love Toward Us Collectively 

And 

Personally Individually! 

Beloved, 

We Who Love The Lord Christ 

And 

Choose To Truly Worship Him By Our Willing Obedience 

Are Blessed Over 

And 

Above Those Who Know Not The Lord! 

Our Happiness 

Is 

From The Lord Of Life! 

Our Help 

Is 

From Him Who Is Our Shepherd, Refuge And Strength

Our Very Present Help 

In Our Times Of Sure-To-Come Trouble! 

Our Hope 

Is 

In Our Savior, Redeemer, Forever Faithful Friend 

Who Knows Our Names, Present And Future

 And

Remembers Our Frame:

He Does Not Forget That We Are Dust! 

In Jesus Christ, We Live And Breathe: 

Without The Breath Of Life From Him

We Most Assuredly Die! 

He Is Real ...

Our Lord's Hands, Feet, Ears And Mouth 

Are Fully Functioning 

And 

I Beseech Us All To Remember That 

With His Hands, He Made Us! 

With His Mouth 

He Called All That We Behold Into Being! 

With His Ears 

He Hears Our Prayers

And 

On Determined Feet He Walked To Calvary 

To Restore Us Who Are Obedient Sheep! 

Trust The Living Word Of Truth ...

Be Happy In Jesus 

The Only One Whose Help Gives Us A Myriad Reasons 

To Have Abundant Hope In The God Who Gives And Forgives

Feeds And Frees

Succors And Sanctifies

And 

Breaks Bounds 

And

Bountifully Blesses The Brave Believer 

Bound For Beautiful Beulah Land! 

Be Joyful In Jesus Christ The King Of Love:

In Him Is Our Perfect Peace!

Heap Those Coals Of Fire!

It Is Said That Revenge Upon One's Enemies 

Is 

Best Served Cold 

Aka Unexpectedly 

And 

With Vicious Stopping-Power! 

To Almighty God's Chosen People

The Answer To This 

Is 

"Nuh Uh!" 

"Nope!" 

As Blessed And Highly Favored Children Of 

The Eternal Who Grants Grace And Inhabits Glory

We Are Called To Be Mind-Bogglingly Kind 

To Those Who To Us Are Not Even Close To Being So! 

Oh, The Beauty Of The Unexpected Kindness 

When Your Enemy Needs Help 

And 

You're The Only One Available To Help 

And 

You Actually, Willingly, Graciously

- For The Love Of God - 

Provide That Help With A Tender Look 

And 

A Gentle Touch! 

What Bliss Is Yours To Have And To Hold! 

Remember, Beloved, 

This Is The Way Of The Savior 

And 

If We Desire To See Him In Peace

This Must Be Our Way! 

We Were Once Enemies Of The Almighty 

And 

He, By Jesus Christ The Righteous

Granted Us The Unimaginable Kindness 

... His Life For Yours ... And Mine! 

There's No Repayment Possible: 

Choose, Instead, To Obey His Blessed Call 

To Be Set Apart For Holy Use 

... To Sanctification ... To Perfection! 

Dare To Smile With The Lord 

In The Face Of The Scorn And Abuse Of Your Enemies: 

Chase Away Evil 

With Your Hand Dripping With Goodness That Shines

With The Light Of Love! 

Peace!

PROSTITUTION: The Loving Relationship!

The Lasting Relationship 

Is 

Built On Comfort

Companionship 

And 

Dependability! 

We Have A Relationship With Almighty God! 

He Provides Us With The Comfort Of The Holy Spirit! 

We Have The Company Of Holy Angels! 

And 

We Are Unerringly Able To Depend On Jesus Christ The Lord 

Whom The Father Has Given To Us For All Eternity! 

All Of The Heavenly Intelligences Are Committed To Our Salvation 

And 

Will Be Coming To Greet Us When ... In The Great Day

Our Redeemer Calls Us Up To Go Home To Glory! 

There Is, However, A Substantial Problem! 

We, Humans, Are Careless 

And 

Non-Committal 

And 

We Operate Under The Attitude That 

Almighty God Is Good 

As Long As He Is Giving To Us Whatever We Call For 

When We Call For It! 

Beloved, 

That ... For Want Of A Nicer Expression

Is 

Prostitution! 

We Can And Should Be Better Than This! 

Love

The Loving Relationship

The Committed, Loving, Lasting, Relationship 

Is 

Built On All Parties Being Present

Actively Involved

Faithfully Enduring

And 

Giving Selflessly! 

Our God Almighty Is Holy 

So He Is Ever-Forgiving

Granting Unto Us Unfailing Grace

Even Though We Are Often Ungrateful! 

We, Weak Wanderers

Need To Go All In 

And 

Trust The Lord's Everlasting Love! 

Please Don't Let Doubt Destroy What It Can't Build! 

Give Your All To Him Who Gave His All To Prosper You! 

Reach Up To Rise Up! 

Wholly Love The Eternal Holy Saving Blessing Giving God! 

Peace!

Relationships Are Not Vacations!

A Lasting Relationship

Is

An All-Day

Every Day

Labor Of Love!

DON'T BE ASHAMED: Open Your Heart To Almighty God!

Our Hope ... A Living And Lively Hope

Is 

In The Lord Of Life ... The King Of Glory

And

No Child Following After The Lord Jesus Christ 

Should Be Unwilling, Afraid, Or Ashamed 

To Go Before Our Heavenly Father 

And 

In Humility Say:

"I'm Sorry! 

I Need You!

Help Me!

Forgive Me!

Guide Me!

Lead Me!

Feed Me!

Correct Me!

Protect Me!

Draw Me Nearer!" 

Truly Loved And Divinely Blessed

We Should Be Pleased To Say:

"Father, I Trust You: 

Help Me To Trust You More!

 

I Need You: 

Help Me To Daily See My Need! 

I Love You: 

Help Me To Daily Love You More!

 

Thank You For Your Grace: 

Help Me To Daily Grow In Grace!

 

I Have Sinned: 

Please Help Me To Humbly Confess

And

Repent Of My Sin 

And

 By The Working Of The Sweet Holy Spirit That 

Leads Me Into All Truth

Help Me Not To Sin 

Against Your Holiness Again! 

I Am Weak: 

Help Me To Be Strong In You, My Lord And My God!

 

I Desire To Reach The Heavenly Home Safely: 

Please Lead Me Gently Home!

 

Help Me To Honor, Worship And Obey You Always!

 

Help Me To Walk In The Ways Of Righteousness 

And

Not Turn Again To Fables!

 

Help Me To Tell The Good News 

Until Jesus Christ Comes 

Or Until My Life On Earth Is Through!

 

My Life Is Yours: 

Keep Me Safe By Thy Dear Side 

As I In You Completely Confide!" 

Brethren, Beloved

Choose To Hold Nothing Back!

Dare To ... With The Confidence Of Unfailing Faith

Open Your Hungering Heart To Almighty God

To Jesus Christ The Lord

Our Soon-Returning Kind King! 

Peace Be Upon You!

Total Obedience Pays!

Obedience ... By Its Very Nature
Is 

An Absolute! 

There Is No Such Thing As Partial-Obedience 

Because

Like Partial-Truth Is A Whole Lie

Partial-Obedience 

Is 

Disobedience 

And

Comes With A Heavy Price Up To 

And 

Including The Loss Of One's Life! 

Adam Disobeyed! 

High Priest Aaron's Sons, Nadab And Abihu

Instantly Lost Their Lives For Drinking 

And 

Presenting Strange Aka Common Aka Unholy Fire 

On The Altar Of God! 

King Saul Went From Being A Humble Servant 

To Indulging In Partial Disobedience 

And 

Covering It Up By Lying! 

He Then Indulged High-Flying, Flagrant 

Aka Planned Disobedience 

By Visiting The Witch Of Endor: 

He Paid For It With His Life! 

Beloved, 

As Committed Christians

We Know What Our Sin Cost Our Lord Christ! 

We Know That We Are Not To Walk In The Ways Of 

Selfishness, Pride, Greed And Covetousness 

Which All Stand On The Back Of Flagrant Disobedience 

And 

Bold Lies! 

By Their Nature

These Traits Cause Us To Hurt Our Maker 

And

Crucify Our Lord Christ Afresh!

Be Warned ...

There Will Be No Liars 

And 

No Disobedient People In Heaven 

So Check Yourself Before You Wreck Yourself! 

Be Faithful ...

Obedience Pays In Eternity's Currency 

So Let's Go All In With Jesus Christ! 

Peace With Almighty God

Through Jesus Christ The Lord

Is

Promised

Precious

Provided

And

Perfect!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: What Are You Doing!?!

Consider That We Are Not Condemned For What We Have Done 

But For What ... Being Necessary

We Have Free-Will-Chosen Not To Do! 

Walking In Darkness

Is

A Choice! 

Consider That We Are Not Condemned For Loving Lies 

But For Willfully Choosing To Hate The Truth! 

Beloved, 

Would You Really Want To Be Known As Someone 

Who Tenderly Loves Satan 

And 

Truly Hates The Lord Christ 

Who Created, Maintains, Sustains, Saves 

And

Redeems You From Sin, Death, The Grave And Hell!?! 

Is Indulging Your Costly Pet Sin 

Worth More To You Than Your Own Soul's Free Salvation!?! 

Is Holding On To Your Dark, Bitter, Hurtful, Yesterdays 

Worth More To You 

Than Having Almighty God's Promised Sweet Eternity Of Peace!?! 

Are You Refusing To Hold Love 

Because 

You Are Embracing Hatred!?! 

Are You Feeling Sorry For Yourself 

Instead Of Being Happy That 

Jesus Christ The Kind King Knows Your Name 

And 

Fills Your Needs!?! 

Think! 

You Can't Change Yesterday By Hating Today 

But 

You Can Influence Your Hoped-For Tomorrow 

By What You Do Today! 

The Sacred Gift Of Present Time 

Is-

Made For Change 

So Please Let Jesus Christ 

- By The Holy Spirit Of Truth -

Make All Your Wrong Things Right

By Your Willingness To Be Fed

To Be Taught

To Be Corrected

And

To Be Protected From Self, Sin And Satan! 

Let Go Of Sinful Self

And

Self-Serving Self-Satisfaction

And 

Let Almighty God Good, Gracious, Giving 

And 

Forgiving

Rid You Of What Will Not ... What Cannot

Profit You On The Great Judgment Day! 

Where There Is Life, There Is Hope!

I Commend You To The Living Holy Faithful God Of Grace!

Walk In The Light

Which Leads To Eternal Life!

HAPPY SABBATH: INAPPROPRIATE WORDS CONDEMN: Silence Is Golden!

 

 

This World In Which We Live 

Is 

Notorious For Its Citizens' Love Of Being Loud And Proud

For Raucously Enjoying One-Upmanship

And 

Having The Last Word Spoken In Every And All Conversations 

Even If Their Position Is Erroneous 

And 

Their Behavior Patently Egregious Aka Shockingly Abusive! 

Beloved, 

As Children Of The Heavenly Father 

Bought Back From Death 

By The Uncomplaining, Quiet, Sacrifice Of Jesus Christ

No Committed Christian 

Should Ever Conduct Themselves In So Unseemly A Manner! 

Jesus Christ Was 

And Is 

Our Perfect Example 

And 

He Has Left Us With Ample Evidence Of 

How We Must Conduct Ourselves 

In The Presence Of Frenemies Aka Friendly-Enemies

Adversaries, Gainsayers, Doubters

Unbelievers And Disbelievers! 

A Common Adage 

Is 

"Let People Think That You're Stupid: 

Don't Open Your Mouth And Prove It!" 

As Travellers To Hill Zion

We Would All Do Well To Emulate Our Master 

And 

Dare To Keep Our Own Counsel: 

It Is Free! 

Think About It ...

Satan The Damned Ain't Almighty God

So He Can't Read Your Mind

And

People Like Yourself Can't Read Your Mind

Soooo ... Save The Eternal Holy God Of Grace In Glory 

Nobody Created Knows What Is In Your Heart 

Unless You Open Your Mouth! 

Brethren, Beloved 

Know Your Savior Who Calls You To His Side! 

Know His Saving Word That Blesses You In Truth To Abide! 

Know Yourself In Jesus Christ Who For You Willingly Died

And 

Choose To Let Your Appropriate, Golden, Silence 

Be Your Loud-Speaker:

Do Not Into Cheap, Nasty And Snide Remarks Dare To Slide! 

Inappropriate Words Condemn 

So Let Your Words Be Few! 

The Lord Christ Is Judge! 

Pray For Peace!
