Tolerating Sin Interferes With Soul Salvation







Old Wisdom:

If Someone Can't Give You A Biscuit
Don't Let Them
Take Bread Out Of Your Mouth! 


Question! 
How Is It That Known Evil-Doers
Be They Priestly, Political
Entertainers, Sportsmen
Financiers And The Like
Are Permitted To Maintain 
And 
Broadcast 
And
Promote Their "Deeply Held" Wicked
Blasphemous
Idolatrous Beliefs And Practices 
But
Devoted-To-Christ Christians 
Are Castigated, Excoriated, Pilloried
Punished And Canceled 
For Telling The World And His Brother That 
Jesus Christ The King Saves 
And
That He Loves Us All ... Sinner And Saint
To Death And Back 
And
On Up To Glory!?! 

If We Christians Are Being "Made" To Accept 
And 
Tolerate Willing Sinners' Embracing Their Pet Sins
Why Aren't The Wrong-Doers Satisfied To Leave Us Alone 
To Embrace Our Lord Christ 
And
Enjoy Our Personal Serving Of His Free-To-All Salvation 
And
Not Attempt To Force Us To Give Up Our Saving Faith 
And 
Sure Salvation!?! 

Is It Because Clean Living Accuses Them!?! 

Beloved, 

Good Accuses Evil 
Because 
Evil Knows It Is Not, Nor Can Ever Be, Good! 

When Good No Longer Offends Evil
The Day Of Goodness Ceases 
And
All Hope For Help And Healing Is Lost! 

Please Be True To The Lord Christ
And
Do Not Allow Anyone
Poor, Powerful
Fat, Foolish
Wise, Weak
Thin Or Trifling 
To Turn You Away From The Light That 
Leads To Life Everlasting! 

Dare To Stand Firm: 
Saving Faith Can't Fail! 

Only Jesus Christ ... The Creator ... Saves! 

Remember, Remember 
Don't Ever Forget ... 

Only Jesus Christ Can Give To Mankind
The Non-Perishable Bread ... Of Life! 

Peace!

GOOD OR BAD: Everybody Sets An Example!






Growing Up
We Were Always Instructed To Set A Good Example
To Follow Good Examples
And 
To Never Be The Bad Example
The Means By Which Someone 
Is 
Led Astray To Do Evil! 

Surprise ... No Surprise
Anybody May Set An Example 
But
The Real Question Is
Are You Setting The Good Example 
Worthy For Others To Accept 
And ... With Wisdom
Follow!?! 

Beloved, 

Jesus Christ The Righteous Judge
The Kind King
The Hope Of Every Man
Is
Our Exemplar 
Aka Ensample 
Aka Perfect Example
The One Whom We Could "Close Our Eyes" 
And
Without Reservation
Dare To Follow Faithfully! 

We, However
Don't Follow The Lord Christ Blindly! 

We Follow Our Dear Savior 
Through Good Evidence
Faith That Cannot Fail
Trust That Will Never Be Abused 
And
With Love For The Holy Love 
Which Will Never See Us Being Made Ashamed! 

True Believers Aka Committed-To-Christ Christians
Are Not Ashamed Of The Truth 
And 
We Should Never Be Afraid 
Or Ashamed To Permit Others To See Us 
Walking In Full Agreement With The Truth 
In The Living Light Of The Good News Gospel That 
Leads All Who Are Willing To Be Saved 
To Eternal Life! 

A Bad Example Costs The Wicked Instructor 
And 
His Careless And Willful Imitators! 

The Good Example Rewards Both The Wise Teacher 
And 
His Diligent Students! 

Please Let Us Dare To Direct Someone 
To The Good And Holy Way Today 
And
Without Hesitation, Fear, Or Shame: 
Jesus Christ Made The Way Plain 
And
He Always Saves!

INVESTMENTS HAVE COSTS: Our Lives Are What Our Thoughts Make It!






 
Wicked Thoughts Have Sturdy Wings 
And 
A Long Shelf-Life! 

Unless Forcibly Held On To
Good Thoughts Disappear In The Blink Of An Eye

Evil Thoughts Are Like Weeds 
Which Just Grow Naturally ... No Effort Required! 

Good Thoughts Are Like Wheat 
Which Must Be Cultivated, Tended
Harvested, Stored
And 
Kept For Future Beneficial Use! 

Which Kind Of Thoughts 
Are Constantly In Your Possession!?! 

Beloved, 

Have You Considered That Thoughts
Good Or Bad
Happy Or Sad
Tender Or Terrible
Are Like Exhibition Animals!?! 

The Favored Animal That 
You Constantly Feed, Groom, Cuddle 
And 
Exercise 
Is 
The One That Prospers, Grows
And 
Shows To Advantage 

And

Is The One That Wins 
Your Self-Financed Best-In-Show Award
Ribbon, Cup, And Cash! 

Problem Is
Every Investment Has Costs! 

Are Your Thoughts 
Raising You Up To Heaven 
Or Casting You Down To Hell!?! 

Are Your Thoughts Cherries Or Carrion
Fine China Or Garbage Cans
Blessings Or Curses
Truth Or Lies!?! 

Believe It ...

Just As A Man, Woman, Or Child Thinks
So Are They! 

What Are You Tenderly Thinking About 
And 
Savoring Right Now!?! 
Is The Lord Christ Pleased!?! 
Critically Think Carefully About It! 

Peace!


Guard Your Heart!

Never Help Your Enemy To Destroy You!








An Unoccupied Aka Unemployed-In-The-Work Christian 
Is 
A Lie! 

Calling Ourselves Christian 
And 
Only Looking The Part 
Is 
Cheap Talk! 

How About Some Worth-While Actions 
Displaying The Love We Have For The Eternal God 
Whom We Say We Are Serving!?! 

A Rule-Breaking, Disrespectful, Lazy
Antagonistic Christian 
Is 
A Disgrace 
And
Is A High-Quality Walking Bill-Board 
For The Purveyor Of Disobedience, Doubt, And Death! 

Such Behavior ... Left Unchecked
Unconfessed
And 
Unrepented
Will Lead To A Christless-Grave 
And 
Eternal Destruction 
On The Great Day Of Small Things! 

Beloved, 

Our Idea Of Christ-Like Behavior 
And
Hands Occupied 
Is 
Not Left To Our Personal Interpretation 
Or Our "Woke" Idea Of Truth Today! 

Idle Minds 
And 
Idle Hands 
Are Free Work-Shop Space For Satan 
And 
His Demonic Horde 
To Gleefully Occupy And Fully Utilize
To Their Black Hearts' Content!

Thankfully, Our Lord Jesus Gave To Us 
The Great Commission 
To Go And Preach, Teach, Feed, And Heal 
And
That Does Not Just Mean Ministers!

It Means All Of Us Doing Something For Jesus Christ 
Be It To Cook A Meal
Share A Kind Word
Bake A Cake Or Cookies
Give A Care Package
Do A Kindly Deed
Listening
Or 
Just Being Loving! 

Let's Choose This Day
To Gladly Give Of Our Very Best For Our Creator
Master, Savior, Redeemer
Forever-Friend
Lord, God
And 
Soon-Returning Kind King! 

Peace!

Never Help Your Enemy
To
Destroy You
By
Despising The Corrections
And
Directions
Of
The Only One
Who Loves You
To Death And Back
And
Through The Ceaseless Ages
Of
Eternity!

THE EVERLASTING PORTION: One Life To Live!

 






What Is The Point To Having Lived The Perfectly Good Life
Not Having Made The Mistakes Of Rebellious Youth
Having The Good Marriage
The Good Children
The Good Career
The Good Portfolio
Held The Good Position In Church 
Mentored Young Folks To Be Good 
Maintained A Good Conscience Toward Almighty God ... And Man
But
In The Day When Your Conscience 
Is 
Tested For Jesus Christ The Lord 
And
Your Freedom 
Is 
Threatened For Allegiance To The Lord Of Life
You Make Like A Water-Bird And Duck 
And
Act Like Leaves In The Autumn 
And 
Fall Under Pressure!?! 

Beloved, 

We Are Called To Die Daily To Self! 

We Are Required To Stand In The Faith That Cannot Fail: 
We Must Trust In The Lord Forever 
Because
In Him Alone
Is 
Everlasting Strength! 

Would You Give Up Walking On Streets Of Gold 
To Save A Brick House And A Cement Driveway
Or
Miss Out On Having The Wings Of An Eagle 
And 
Ranging Across The Universe 
To Instead Buy A Ticket 
And 
Have Someone Else Fly You To Nowheresville 
On A Metal Wing 
And 
The Unbeliever's Prayer!?! 

Are You Strong In The Lord Who 
Is 
Mighty To Save You!?! 

Is The All-Knowing God Your Everlasting Strength 
Or
Is Your Finite, Failing, Strength Your False God!?! 

Will Your Present Idea Of Safety And Security 
Secure 
And 
Save You ... Eternally!?!

Please Thoroughly Trust The Lord 
And 
Truly Think About Your Future Truthfully! 
You Only Get One Life To Live
To Accept Jesus Christ The King
As Your Everlasting Portion! 

Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: The Obedience In Godly Love Pays!







Every Parent Knows The Signs! 

"Mum, I Love You! 
Dad, What Can I Do To Help You Today!?! 
Mum And Dad, You Know That I Love You!" 

These Are All Coded Phrasing For 

"I Need ...!
May I Have ...!?!
Will You Buy ...!?!
And 
If I Don't Get This, That Or The Other
I'm Going To Just Die!" 

When In The Past I Heard
"Mummy, You Know That I Love You!" 
My Response Was
"What Do You Want Now!?!" 
Or 
"What's It Going To Cost Me!?!" 

It Was Par For The Course! 

Beloved, 

We Treat Our Dear Lord The Same Way 
But
There Is Wrinkle Releaser 
On The Creased Linen Of Our Lives! 

Jesus Christ Knows Our Every Need! 
Jesus Christ ... The Lamb Of God 
Already Paid The Bill For All Of Our Bad Behavior 
And 
Jesus Christ The Lord Of Life Has Already Told Us Plainly

"If You Love Me
Keep My Commandments!" 

Ancient Knowledge Clearly Advises: 

The Proof Of The Pudding Is In The Eating 
Aka Walk Yuh Talk: 
Cheap Talk Ain't Nuh Load! 

Telling The Lord You Love Him 
Is 
Cheap Talk 
Until 
The Burden Of The Load Of Obedience 
Is 
Radically Applied! 

We Sin By Thought, Word, And Deed! 

Dare To Drop The Sinning 
And 
Choose To Love The Lord Our God 
By Good Thoughts
Wise Words
And 
Godly Deeds! 

Love Is Not Politics, Theatre Or Sport: 
24/7 Love Works 7/24! 

Love, With Willingness, Serves
And
The Obedience In Godly Love, Saves!

Peace!

HAPPY SABBATH + "I AM SORRY!" WORKS: Get Rid Of The Blame Game!












There's A Major Difference Between 
Forgiving Someone Who Hurt You 
And
Taking Responsibility For Someone Hurting You 
Because
Well, You Were There In The Relationship 
And
Available To Be Hurt 
So, Tough Luck, You Were Hurt!

You Are In A Relationship With Christ Jesus:
Is He Responsible For Your Deliberately Defiant
"I Will Say He Was Present And 'Helped' Me To Sin!"
After He Already Paid For All Your Sin
On The Cross Of Calvary
And
Gave You The Daily Gift Of Faith For The Day
Free-Will and Freedom To Choose
The Will To Do His Good Pleasure
And
The Longing To Do The Good And The  Right!?! 


Isn't It Amazing How The Holy Word Of God Gets Twisted 
To Absolve Disobedient People From Taking Responsibility 
For Their Own Wicked Behavior!?! 

Beloved, 

Jesus Christ The Righteous 
Our Creator, Savior, Redeemer 
Took The Blame For Our Personal Sins
- Which He Did Not Commit - 
So That By His Innocence Taking Our Guilt 
We May Be Justified Aka Made Right
- With Confession And Repentance - 
When We Are Convicted Of Sin And Of Righteousness

And

Over A Lifetime Of Obedience, Trust
And 
Enduring Faithfulness
Be Sanctified Aka Set Apart 
For Holy Use By Our God! 

What Is Your Heartfelt Confession
And
Repentance For Known Sin Worth!?!
Did You Lie When You Took Jesus Christ
As Your Personal Savior, Lord, God, And King!?!

Lucifer Blamed Almighty God 
For Not Allowing Him Into The Counsels Of 
The Father, The Son, And The Holy Spirit 
And Thus 
Causing The War In Heaven 
And 
The Death Of His Son, Jesus! 

Satan Is Still Using This Nasty Trick Against Us Today 
And 
He Is More Often Than Not Winning This High Stakes Game! 
Please Don't Fall For Folly!


We Serve The God Who Sees Everything
The God Who Knows Everything
The God Who Feels Everything
The God Who Is Always Present
The God Who Is Eternal
The God Who Is Not Mocked
The God Who Is Not A Liar
The God Who Is Righteous
The God Who Pays
What
Each
Person
Is
Owed
For The Work He Diligently Performed!
 

We Are Each Responsible For Our Own Wickedness 
So Don't Even Blame Satan: 
He Can't Make You Do Anything! 

And

Don't Blame The Living God: 
Jesus Christ Already Paid Your Bill 
So Take The Gift! 
Do Right! 

If You Don't Confess
And
If You Don't Repent
You Are On Your Own
Before The Judge Of All Flesh!

Our Lying Lusting 
Is 
Like A Locked Vice-Grip: 
Lose The Lust 
And 
Get Rid Of The Blame Game! 

Peace!


Jesus Christ Saves: 
"I Am Sorry!"
Works 24/7!

Work-Horses Bear Their Cross While Show-Ponies Wear Their Cross









Users ... Loving Self And No Other 
Take From 
And
Abuse ... And Hate ... Willing Givers! 

Willing Givers Honor The Lord 
And
Humbly Serve Others 
And Yet
Are Savagely Abused By Users! 

Where Is The Love!?! 

Users Demand Sacrifice From Those They Joyfully Abuse:
Users, Abusers, And Haters Work For Satan
The Teacher Of The Master-Class 
On Misusing, Abusing And Hating Others ... Just Because! 

Willing Givers Emulate 
And
Serve The Great Example Who Modeled A Life Of Love
And 
Willing Giving
Humble Service 
And 
Heart-Felt Caring! 

Beloved, 

We Have A Choice To Make 
And
The Chance To Make It! 
Be Wise! 

On Good Evidence
Please Choose To Be An Humble Work-Horse 
For Jesus Christ The Lord: 
Don't Be A High-Stepping Show-Pony 
For Satan The Damned
The God-Fraud! 

High-Steppers Can Bear No Load 
Or Burden Of Care! 

Work-Horses Carry No More Than God-Appointed Weight 
And 
Relief From The Dear One's Burden 
Is 
By His Master's Design 
And Not
By Liar-Man Satan's Known-Idolatrous
Good-For-Nothing Fate! 

Please Serve Your Savior 
And 
Not Your Self-Serving, Self-Satisfying, Senses!

Peace With The Lord Is Precious: 
Purposefully Pursue Peace 
With The Prince Of Peace 
With Passionate Persistence 
Through Godly Power! 

Be Well, And Be Gloriously Blessed!

Raise Your Gaze!





The Lord Our God Will Never Force Us
To See The Light Of Life: 
He Gives Unto Each Of Us A Daily Gift Of Faith! 

The Lord Marks The Path To Life Everlasting
Paints The Sky
Sets The Orbs In The Firmament 
And 
Speaks The Truth! 

Our Lord Christ Lovingly Invites Us 
To Choose To Believe Him At His Living Word 
And 
He Gives Us The Will To Obey 
And
The Wisdom 
To Act Upon Sure And Secure Knowledge 
To Bless Ourselves And Others 
On The Path Pointing Us Toward Home
Aka The Heavenly Home! 

No Surprise ...

Disobedience 
Is 
All Our Own Choice! 

Hope, Help, And Healing
Obedience And Endurance
Trust, Grace, And Mercy
Protection, Provision
And 
Peace And Rest 
Are Bountiful Baskets Of Plenty 
Readily Available To The Willing To Be Wise 
Unto Their Own Soul's Purchased Precious Salvation! 

Just So You'll Know ...

Half Faith And Half Doubt 
Is 
Full Doubt! 

Half Truth And Half Error 
Is 
Total Error! 

This Is The Truth ... 

Believe ... And Be Blessed! 
Trust God ... And Obey! 
Do Right ... And Live In Light! 
Follow The Lord Christ 
And 
Live Free In The Land Of Purest Delight 
And 
No Night With Things That Scar And Scare! 

Please, I Beseech Us All
Do Not Allow Your Intellect
Your Pride
Or 
Man's Deceitfully Glorified Knowledge 
To Rob You Of Your God-Given Birth-Right! 

Please Don't Sell Heaven 
To Buy A Bowl Of Red-Bean Stew That 
Fattens The Waist Line 
And 
Exits The Waste Line! 
Raise Your Gaze! 

Peace!

Almighty God Doesn't Threaten You: Don't Compromise With Dressed-Up Evil!







The Lowly Jesus 
Is 
Our Beautiful Savior! 

The Good Shepherd 
Is 
Our Glorious King! 

The Itinerant Teacher From Nazareth
Is 
The Living God Most High! 

The Perfect Lamb Of God 
Is 
The Lord Of Life
Our Rock Of Refuge
Our Shelter In The Time Of Our Sure-To-Come Storms 
And
He Who Was Despised And Rejected By Men 
Is 
Immanuel ... Almighty God With Us! 

You, Beloved, Are Infinitely Blessed: 
Are You Living Like You Know It 
And 
Believe It With Every Fiber Of Your Being!?! 

We Serve The Holy God Who Never Threatens Us: 
He Invites Us To Appear Before Him 
And 
Reason With Him! 

Our Almighty God 
Is Not 
One Of The Manufactured Class Who By Unholy Rollers
- Who Have No Rule Over Their Own Spirits - 
Declare And Decree: 
"Let Me Rule Over You Or I Will Ruin You!" 

Our Eternal God 
Is 
Good, Gracious, Giving
And 
Forgiving 
And
Because He Is All-Seeing, All-Knowing 
And
Ever-Present 
And
Is Touched By All The Things That We Feel
He Has Given Us Full Disclosure 
And
The Free-Will 
And 
The Freedom To Freely Walk In Our Own Way 
Whether It Leads Us To Heaven 
Or Sends UsTo Hell! 

Oh, The Shame ...

Jesus Christ The Lord Created And Saves Us: 
We Disobey And Dishonor Him! 

Oh, The Horror ...

Evil Men Confuse And Seduce Us To Destroy Us: 
We, As The Fool, Obey And Honor Them! 

This Picture Is Ugly: 
Please Redraw, Repaint, And Reframe It!

Peace!

This Is The Gospel Truth:

You Are Precious In The Lord's Sight! 
You Were Bought Back From Death
By The Innocent Blood
Of
The Holy Lamb
The Only Begotten Son Of God: 
Don't Compromise With Dressed-Up Evil!

Stop Helping Satan The Damned Feel Good!








Many Of Us Are Not Wise! 

Have You Considered That 
Our Dear Lord Tells Us To Do Good 
And 
Good Will Attend Us 
And 
To Consider Our Ways ... And ... Be Wise
For A Reason!?! 

Beloved, 

If Doing Good Causes Good To Attend Us Aka Take Care Of Us
Then It Stands To Reason That 
When We Do Bad, Down-Right Corrupt Evil Things
Then Bad, Down-Right Corrupt Evil Things 
Will Assuredly Take Up Residence 
In Our Comfy Chair And Nice Bed 
To Make Sure That We Reap What We Sow 
And
With Bitterness And Sorrow
Eat What We Maliciously Caused To Abundantly Grow! 

Think ... 

Would You Enjoy Manufacturing A Weapon That You Know 
Is 
Definitely Going To Be Used To Execute You!?! 

Obviously, The Answer Is A Resounding "No!" 

Since This Is So
Then Why Are We Who Know Right From Wrong 
And
Good From Evil
Indulging In Idiocy To Help Satan The Damned 
Feel Good About His Day's Work 
Against Our Striving For The Lord Of Glory's 
"Well Done, Good And Faithful Servant!" 
Priceless Commendation!?! 

The Plain Truth ...

Satan Can't Go Back Home To Heaven! 
We, By Enduring Faith And Obedience, Can! 

Please, I Beseech Us All 
Let Us Examine Ourselves 
And 
Discover Aka Expose Our Rank Motives 
For Indulging In Lawlessness Aka Sin! 

Let Us Choose To Daily Die To Sin And Selfishness 
So That We Will Live For Salvation 
And
With Charity Aka Love For All Mankind!

Remember, Remember
Don't Ever Forget ...

Unimpeachable, Indestructible, Records Are Being Kept!

Be Wise For Your Own Self 
And 
Boldly Decide To Ever Do What Is Good And Right! 
Peace!


Committing Sin Is Natural:
No Effort Is Required! 

Doing What Is Good And Right
Requires
A Free-Will
Firm
Faithful To The Lord Christ
Bold 
Conscious Decision! 

There Are Consequences To Either Act:
Choose Wisely!

Sippy-Cup Christianity


 






Would You Squeeze Through A Wide-Open Door!?! 

Would You Only Eat One Grape A Day 
When You Have Unrestricted Access 
To A Flourishing, Abundantly Productive, Vineyard!?! 

Would You Drink From A Sippy-Cup 
When You Live Next To A Spring Of Sweet, Ice-Cold, Water!?! 

If You Answer 
"No, Not A Chance!" 
Then Why In The Name Of All That 
Is 
Holy, Just, And Good 
Are You, Me, We Visiting With The Lord Christ 
Only When We Are In Dire Straits 
And 
Not Doing So As A Habit, A Practice, A Way Of Life!?! 

Jesus Christ Spreads A Table Before Us!
 
Jesus Christ Is The Creator God
The King Of Love
The Good Shepherd
The King Of The Universe 
And
Any Table That He Spreads Before Us 
And
In The Presence Of Our Enemies 
Is 
Going To Be Beautifully Appointed
Infinitely Long
And 
Abundantly Laid 
So That We May Feast Now 
And
Eternally! 


PRAYER:

Dear Lord, 
We Have A Problem! 
We Are Looking Through Finite Eyes
With Fraught Feelings 
At The Table Spread By The Infinite God! 
Please Help Us To Look Up Higher
See Clearer
Smell Deeper
And 
Taste The Unimaginably Good, Good
Very Good Things That
Come From Your Giving Heart And Hands! 

Please Cleanse, Refine
And
Re-Educate Our Taste-Buds 
So That We Will Ever Choose
With Knowledge, Wisdom, And Understanding 
To Eat And Drink Deeply Of
Your Goodness Always! 
AMEN!!!
