ABLE AND FAITHFUL: Our Lives Are In Jesus Christ's Holy Hands!

 





Without The Lord Jesus Christ The Righteous
We Are Lost ... And Twice Dead! 

Sunlight, Water, Rest, And Shade:
Jesus Christ Is The Rock That Against Sin Prevails! 

Bury Your Self In Jesus! 
Be One With And In Him! 
Hold To The Unchanging Hand
Sing Praises
And 
To Him Forever Cling! 

When The Storms Of This Life Blow
When Black Balls Against You Are Thrown
When Food, Funds, And Family Are A No Show
Run, Hurry, Beloved
To Our Dear Savior Go! 

There Is No Shame In Praying! 
Show No Fear In Expressing Need! 
There Is Love For The Taking 
For It Is The Ready Response 
To Our Expressed And True Need! 

Pray Without Ceasing! 
See To It That It Is Upon Christ That You Are Feeding! 
Make Sure That It Is His Living Word That You Are Heeding
And 
It Is Certain That 
It Will Be To The Glorious Kingdom That 
You, Saved And Blessed, Shall Surely Be Speeding! 

Be Prayerful! 
Be Hope-Filled! 
Be Grateful And Be Thankful 
Because 
Our God Glorious 
Is 
Able And Faithful! 

Let Us Give Our King Jesus Great Praise 
For Our Lives 
Are Well And Truly In His Holy Hands! 

Peace!

LIVE WISELY: Get Your Desperate Need Fully Filled First!







Have You Ever Considered That 
Instead Of Us Doing Everything Within Our Power 
To Have Someone Lean On Aka Need Us That 
We Should Be Doing Everything Within Our Power 
To Lean Mightily Upon Our Lord Jesus 
Who We Truthfully Know That We Desperately Need!?!  

Beloved, 

Live Wisely! 

We Are Counselled That 
We Should First Seek The Kingdom Of God 
And
His Righteousness 
And
All That We Need Will Be Added Unto Us! 

Desperation 
Is 
A Terrible Way To Choose A Meal
A House
A Partner Or A Job 
Because 
We Will Ultimately Choose What Is Less Than The Best!

Jesus Christ, Our Creator-Sustainer God
Makes Us Aware Going In The Door
And
Before The Drama Starts That 
He Is Almighty God Aka The Best Being
Blessing, Benefit, Benefactor That 
Will Ever Happen To Us This Side Of Glory! 

He Gives To Us The Freedom 
And 
The Free-Will To Go Thrift Shopping
 At The Build Your Own God Outlet 
Where Paper-Bags Of Foolishness 
Are A Dime A Dozen Or BOGO! 

When We Have Exhausted Our Scarce Resources 
And 
Are At Our Wits' End Aka Desperate
Our Blessed Jesus Has ... In Advance
Given Us Leave ... Permission
To Approach His Throne Of Grace Unafraid
Needy
Knowing That He Will Never Turn Us Away Empty
Shamed Or Disappointed! 

Please, I Beseech Us All
Draw In Your Nets From The Cess-Pits Of Life 
And 
Let Us Throw Ourselves Into The Everlasting Arms 
Where Eternal Love Lives 
And
Bids Us Rest 
And 
Freely Drink From The Water Of Life! 

Please Reach Out To Jesus! 

Peace!

Only A Look ... At Christ Jesus!






Only A Look, One Look
Is 
All It Took For Us To Know That 
The Elders Meant Business! 

One Look Toward Granny Before Attempting An Act
And 
Seeing Where Her Gaze Indicated
Gave Permission Or Promised Punishment! 

One Look From The Principal 
Caused Many A U-Turn To Be Executed 
By Those Bent Upon Mischief! 

Beloved, 

Shouldn't One Look At The Word Of God
One Indication From The Holy Spirit
Cause Us To Be Wise Unto Our Own Soul's Salvation!?! 

What The Lord Promises, The Lord Performs! 

Should Not We As Faithful Servants
Obedient Children
And 
Careful Students Of The School Of Jesus 
Boldly Trust The Given Word 
And
Look For The Look That Leads Us Safely 
No Matter How Much Traffic
How Many Voices
How Many Contrary Indicators There Are Around Us Saying
"Nay! Go Another Way!?!" 

Has Not Our Lord Jesus Already Proved That 
He Can And Does Save!?! 

Would You Reject The Proof In And Of Your Own Life 
So That You May Belong To The Herd That Loves Death 
Because 
They Reject Wisdom!?! 

Jesus Christ Cares For His Children As Individuals: 
Walk With Him As One Alone 
And 
By His Saving Grace
You Shall Surely Arrive At The Heavenly Home! 

Steadfastly Look At The Lord 
Who Is Lovingly Looking Out For 
And 
Leading You With His All-Seeing Eye!

 Peace!

The Best Most Corrupting Musician-Musical Instrument On Earth!




 




The Best Most Corrupting 
Musician-Musical Instrument On Earth 
Is 
Satan, The Damned
The Father Of Lies
The Accuser Of The Brethren
The Murderer Most Foul
The Dragon
The Roaring Lion
The Piercing Serpent
The Lord Of The Dung
The Wannabe God
The Squatter, No Lease
Who Desires To Rob You Of 
Your Bought With Innocent-Blood Red Ticket
To The Lamb's Welcome Home To Zion 
Once-And-Done Feast!
 
What Kind Of Music Pleases You!?! 

How Is Music Affecting Your Mood
Your Speech
And
Your Behavior!?! 

Is Your Taste In Music Controlling You 
And 
Causing You To Set Aside 
Your Check Yourself Before You Wreck Yourself Inhibitions!?! 

Beloved, 

Music ... A Glorious Gift Of The Almighty God
Is 
A Language 
And 
There Is Intention Behind Its Use! 

Think Critically ...

Music Is A Great Part Of Worship In Heaven! 

Numerous Religions Make Vast Use Of 
Hypnotic Rhymes And Rhythms 
To Bypass The Will 
And 
Push One Into A Trance-Like State 
To Over-Rule Conscious Thought
And
To Make One Do As One Is Directed! 

The Hebrews ... Fresh From Egyptian Slavery
Sat Down To Eat 
And 
Rose Up To Play  ... Mas
And 
Defiled Themselves! 

King Saul Was Refreshed From Demonic Oppression 
By Shepherd-Sweet Psalmist David's 
Anointed Playing And Psalm-Singing! 

We Are Either Raised Up To Heaven By Beautiful Music 
Inspired By The Word Of God 
Or 
Cast Into The Fiery, Furious, Sexualized Ways Of The World 
By Ungodly Words And Baudy Beats! 

Are You Being Elevated To The Throne Of God 
Or 
Are You Being Thrown Into The Depths Of Despair 
With Unnatural Longings Undeniable!?! 

Are You Freeing Your Heart To Soar To The Savior 
Or 
Are You Freezing Yourself 
In That Place Which Encourages Bad Behavior!?! 

Think, Dear Ones
And 
Do Not Lie To Yourself 
By Allowing Tempting, Tasteless Music 
To Make Executive Decisions 
For Your Heart And Your Hand! 

Dare To Keep The Upward Look 
And 
The Holy Jesus With You! 

Peace!


Mindless Music
Makes Man Malleable!

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

Choose Your Music Carefully!
Don't Let Music So-Called
Choose You!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Sing Unto God! + PRAYER: Help Us, Lord, To Sing Unto You Like Whistling Kettles!




Give Almighty God Great Praise: 
Don't Be Stingy! 

Think Critically, Beloved
About The God ... The Lord Jesus Christ 
Whom We "Proudly" Say That We Are Serving 
And 
Dare To Recognize That We Are ... Liars!?! 
Yes! Liars! 

We Say We Serve The Holy God
Who Ever Strengthens Us 
And 
Even Shields Us From The Harm We Cannot See! 

We Say That We Totally Trust Him 
But 
What We Mean To Say Is That 
We Trust Him Sometimes 
And 
Usually When It Is Convenient 
Aka When He Helps Us According To Our Timing 
And 
We Have "The Reason" About Which To Rejoice 

And

Merciful Powers
That Is When We Haul Out Our Grandparents' Favorite Song 
And 
Attempt To Burst Somebody's Ear-Drums As We Sing: 

"I Am Delivered! 
Praise The Lord!" 

We Should Be Ashamed Of Ourselves 
And 
We Should Do A Haul 'n Pull 
Aka Haul Back The 
"Where Was God When ... !?!" 
And 
Dig Deep For A Big Dipper Full Of 
"Jehovah, Hallelujah! 
My God Always Provides!" 

Dear Ones, 

It Takes No Effort To Sing Unto God 
When You Have Cash To Burn
Food To Waste
Clothes Enough To Dry-Rot
Nice Children
The Adoring Spouse
And 
Pleasant Work! 

If, However
You Can Pray, Praise
And 
Lift Up The Lord In The Midst Of The Storms In Your Life
You Know For Sure That You Are Cooking With Gas! 


PRAYER:

Dear Lord, 
Oh, That We Who Call Ourselves
Committed Christians 
May Be As The Whistling Kettle That
Sings Its Best Music 
When The Non-Stop Heat Is Applied
 To Its Bare Bottom 
And
The Only Stress-Reliever
Is To Sing Unto God 
Until Relief
The Promise Of Very Present Help
Swiftly Arrives! 

Thank You, Lord Jesus
For Being The On-Time
In-Time
Never-Late
Promise-Keeping
Heart-Cleansing
Ever-Loving
Always-Giving God Of Grace 
Who Inhabits Glory! 

Please Help Us To Give You Real Praise 
Because
You Are Our Perfect Love
Blessed Hope
And
Sweet Peace! 
AMEN!!!

HAPPY SABBATH + Truth AND Faith ... Irretrievably Intertwined!









When You Hear The Truth
And 
Understand What The Truth Means To And For You
If 
There Is In Any Honesty Within Your Heart
You Have No Choice But To Act Judiciously 
Aka With Common-Sense! 

Truth Sets All Sinners Free 
But 
The Only Way To Prove The Truth 
Is 
To Step Out In The Daily-Received Gift Of 
Faith For The Day! 

Beloved, 

Faith And Truth ... Truth And Faith
Are Inextricably Intertwined 
And 
One Without The Other 
Will Not Lead To The Glorious Life Sublime! 

Please Repeat With Nauseating Frequency: 


"There Is No Self In Faith And Truth 
Because
Self Is A Liar 
And
Doubt Is Self's Wisdom Tooth!" 

True Wisdom 
Is 
A Gift From The Lord Of Life 
And
That Wisdom Requires Us 
To Separate Ourselves From Sin, Self
And 
Debilitating, Decimating, Strife! 

Let Us Endeavor Today 
To Give Our Lord Jesus All The Glory 
For His Saving Grace 
And 
Let Us Dare To Work Our Faith 
As We Embrace His Truth 
So That We Will Be Blessed And Saved 
As We Walk With Him 
On The Living, Holy, Strait, Straight Way! 

Truth Lives In Glory: 
Faith Gets You Safely There! 

Peace!

LOVE WITHOUT LIES: No Imagination Needed!






Let Us, Beloved, Imagine 
A Love Without Lies
A Life Without Loss
No Homes That Are Hell
No Cruel Boss At Work
No Sound Of Sorrow
No Bitterness
No Woe
No Trips To The Emergency Room
No Lawyers Who Cheat
No Crying From The Pain Of Hunger
No Watching One's Crops Shrivel To Dust
And 
No Watching Safe Houses Collapse 
And 
On The Raging Floods Sail On By! 

Oops! 
There Is No Need To Imagine That 
When We Have The Living Word Of The Eternal God 
Who Is Not Given To Deceitful Acts! 
Our God Is Not The Abominable Fraud! 

We Serve The Risen Savior 
And 
Not A Dead Jesus! 

We Are Called To The Side Of Our Redeemer 
And 
Not To A Sadist Who Desires To Hurt, Mutilate
And Then 
Annihilate Us! 

Dear Ones, 

Please Choose To Walk Wisely 
And 
Beware Of Purchasing Free Passes To Sure Short-Cuts 
Which "Permit" You To Get Home To Glory 
Without Sin Being Given Up! 

We Must Go Through Trials For The Perfecting Of Our Faith 
And 
We Are Not To Trust Those 
Who Encourage Us To Wear "Son-Block" 
And 
Play Pretty With Deadly Night-Shades! 

The Light Of Life Is Blinding 
But 
Salvation By Faith Allows Us Comfortably To See
So Take The Word Of Almighty God To Heart 
And 
Keep It Ever With You
And 
Choose To Live The Life Of Holy Faith
The Life Of The Enduringly Obedient
The Life Of The Living-For-Jesus Godly! 

Soon ... Very Soon
Our Faith Shall Become Sight! 
The Trip To Zion 
Is 
A One-Way Flight! 

Peace!

The Minor Prophet's Major Question!








The Book Of Minor Prophet Amos
Has Asked The Major Question That 
Every Committed-To-Christian Needs To Bluntly Ask 
And 
Truthfully Answer! 

With Whom Are You Walking!?! 
Where Are You Heading!?! 
Is There A Meeting Of The Minds 
And
Are You In Total Agreement 
With The Proposed Course Of Action!?! 

Beloved, 

Just As There Cannot Be Two Roosters In One Hen-House
There Cannot Be Two Number One Goals In Any Mission! 

On The Other Hand, The Question Becomes
"Are You Just Tagging Along For The Ride 
Because You Are A Lazy Thinker, Weak-Willed
Lonely, Looking To Belong
Or Just Plain Lost
A Problem Looking For A Bold Solution
A Heart Looking For The Perfect Home!?!" 

Please, I Beseech Us All
Do Not Take Up Other People's Causes 
Because 
They Have Big Mouths
Big Houses
Big Cars
Big Bank Balances
And 
Base Beliefs Masquerading As Truth For Today! 

Walking With The Lord Christ 
Is 
Walking With Wisdom, Understanding 
And 
Knowledge Which Leads To An Expected End! 

Your Travelling Companion 
Is 
The Author And Finisher Of Your Faith 
And
He Is Well Able 
To Protect And Provide For All 
Who Choose Him As Their Eternal Portion! 

Jesus Christ The Righteous King
Has All The Answers Before You Even Ask Your Questions: 
It Is Safe To Trust And Walk With Him! 

Peace!

All Expenses Paid, Attire Provided Trip!







Satan Is Not Your Friend! 
He Passionately Hates You
Because 
Jesus Christ Loves You 
And
Because You Have An All Expenses Paid Ticket
Attire-Provided Trip To The Realm Of 
The Forever-Blessed! 

Satan Poisonously Hates You 
Because 
He Knows That If You Remain True 
And 
Faithful To The Lord Christ
You Shall Surely Get To Enter 
Where He Can Never Trespass Again 
And
You Will Assuredly Experience Joys Forevermore 
Which He Cast Away As Cheap And Useless Things! 

Beloved, 

Our Enemy Cannot Hurt Us 
When We Choose To Be Humble And Faithful: 
He Can Hurt Us When We Are Proud And Doubtful! 

We Damage Satan 
When We Obediently Choose To Rest In The Lord Christ
And
When We Find Our Greatest Fulfillment In Serving Our Savior 
By Loving And Caring For Our Brethren!
 
Jesus Christ Is The Rock Of Our Salvation
Our Refuge And Strength
The Anchor For Our Souls 
And
The Only Way Satan Can Effectively Hurt Us 
Is 
If We Do As Satan Did When He Was Lucifer, The Light Bearer:
Satan Saw Himself Instead Of His Maker 
And
He Saw Himself In The Position Of The Almighty God! 

Mirrors Are Amazing 
For Disclosing How Good We Look In Glad Rags
And 
How Silly We Look With A Wardrobe Malfunction
Dirty Eyes, Snotty Nose, And Crusty Lips 
But
They Are Truly Lousy At Disclosing A Black Heart! 

If You Want To See The Condition Of Your Heart Today
Take A Look In The Good Book 
And 
Proceed To The Throne Of Grace In Humble Prayer! 

Remember, Remember 
Don't Ever Forget ... 

Jesus Christ ... Our Lord
Loves You More Than Satan ... Our Adversary
Can Ever Hate You! 

Please Avail Yourself Of Christ's Sacrificial Love That 
Eternally Lives 
And 
Infinitely Gives! 

Peace!

CONDITIONED: Breaking Bad!






Salvation 
Is 
About Breaking Bad ... Getting Sin Out
And 
Getting Jesus Christ ... Our Hope For Glory
Into Our Heart For Keeps! 

Have You Ever Found Yourself 
Doing The "Thing" You Hate Doing 
And 
Then Realizing That You're Doing It 
Because 
It Is Familiar Like A Broken-In Pair Of Shoes
An Old Broom That Knows All The Corners
The Pillow That Knows Your Head
That Rut In The Road That Your Tire Always Finds
Or That Itch That You Scratch 
Because 
Your Mind Says That It Will Itch!?! 

Are You Being ... Or Have You Been ... Conditioned 
To Default To "Sin Now!" Instead Of "Pray Now!" 
By Allowing Satan To Encourage You To Believe That 
Sin Is You And Sinning Is All That You Will Do!?! 

Satan Is The Liar! 

We Were Born In Sin 
And 
Shaped In Iniquity Aka Planned Sin 
But
We Do Not Have To Live That Way! 

We Will Be Tempted To Sin 
But
The Lord Will Provide For Us A Sure Way Of Escape! 

Jesus Is Near: 
Choose To Be Aware! 

Sin Cannot Satisfy: 
Don't Fall For Sophisticated Lies! 

Choose To Look Up High: 
See To It That You Do The Devil Defy, Deny 
And
Take Christ's Salvation Full And Free
And 
At The Day Appointed 
Sing With Saints And Angels Most Joyfully! 

Break Bad: 
Mix Unceasing Praying
Faithful Endurance
Willing Obedience
And 
Doing Right 
For The Godly Life! 

Peace!

QUIET TIME: Be Still!






Are You Afraid Of The Sound Of Silence!?!

Are You Loathe To Sit Quietly 
And
 Open The Doors In Your Mind 
And 
Just Hand To The Lord Christ 
All The Accumulated Rubbish Of 
A Misspent Youth
A Careless Young Adulthood
And 
The Cracked Plates Of 
A Life Filled With Regrets And Recriminations!?! 

Beloved, 

The Lord Who Calls Us To Be Still 
And 
Know Him ... Personally
Sends To Us The Still Small Voice Of God
The Holy Spirit Of Truth
To Teach Us And To Comfort Us
And 
To Correct Us 
But
That Sweet Voice 
Is 
Only Heard When 
All The Other Voices Clamoring For Our Attention 
Are ... Stilled! 

As Committed Christians
We Must Make 
And 
Take Time 
To Be Still In The Presence Of The Lord! 

When We Are Flustered, Anxious, Fearful
And 
Fuming At This, That, And The Other
We Cannot Experience The Peace Of God 
Which Passes Human Understanding! 

Please, I Beseech Us All
Take Out All The Rubbish Of Unconfessed Sin
The Load Of Care
The Lists Of Unfulfilled Dreams And Aspirations 
And 
Take Them To Our Savior Dear 
And
Leave Them With Him 
Who Paid With His Blood For Our Peace!

Take A Deep, Deep Breath
And 
Reach For The Extended Hand Of Help And Healing 
And
Permit The Lord To Lead You To Green Pastures 
Beside ... The Still Waters 
And 
Choosing To Sit At Jesus' Feet
Allow Him To Restore Your Soul! 

Being Still Is Not Being Lazy! 
Being Still With The Lord Of Life 
Is 
Refreshing! 

Actively Choose Spend Time ... Quiet Time
With The Lord Who Speaks Peace 
And Is
Our Peace! 

Be At Peace With And In Almighty God: 
Blessings Abundant Await You!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Marching Orders!







"Stand With The Brave!" 
"Be Very Courageous!" 
          "Be Strong In The Lord!" 
          "Hold The Fort!" 
                    "Choose Life And Blessing!" 
                    "Live Free In Jesus!" 
                              "Claim Your Victory Over Sin!" 
                              "Death Before Dishonor!" 

These Are Either The Dumbest Words Ever Uttered 
Or 
They Are The Marching Orders
The Rallying Call Of And For 
One Choosing To Walk Wise Under 
The Righteous-White Banner Of 
The Saints Of God And Christ! 

Beloved, 

There Will Be No Fools, Cowards, Weaklings, Or  Doubters
Nor Untested, Untried, Unprovened, Posers 
Entering The Holy City! 

If You Haven't Victoriously Borne Your Cross
You Shall Not Joyfully Wear The Over-Comer's Crown! 

Do You Faithfully Pray 
And 
Enduringly Plod On Though Weary And Oppressed!?! 

There's An Old Expression: 

"You Don't Get Anything 
Because
You Don't Ask For Anything!" 

Are You Forgetting 
To Raise Yourself Up Boldly To The Throne Of Grace 
To Make Your Petitions Known Unto Our Giving And Forgiving God 
Who Knows And Owns Everything 
And 
Is Desirous Of Blessing You Beyond All Imagining 
But Won't 
Until You Let Your Requests Be Made Known Unto Him!?! 

Open Your Eyes ...

Know Jesus Christ The Lord: 
He Is Protector, Provider
Savior, Sealer
Healer
And 
Helper Who Equips All Whom He Calls To Share His Glory! 

Strengthen Your Weak Knees In His Holy Word 
And 
Stand Strong Against The Dominion Of The Damned! 

Your Orders Are Not An Advertising Stunt: 
You Are Called To Life Eternal! 
Put On The Whole Armor Of God
And
Stand With The Brave
By Almighty God's Great Grace!

 Peace!

HAPPY SABBATH + THE LORD COMMANDS: Hearken And Do!










Do You Hear The Still Small Voice Of God
The Holy Spirit Of Truth!?! 
How Well Do You Listen!?! 

Do You Diligently Follow The Lord's Commands Obediently 
Or
Do You Take His Commands As Recommendations 
And
Then Use Your "Solutions" 
To Fix What Only The Living God May Cure!?! 
Remember Lot's Wife! 

The Lord Warns His People Before Disaster Strikes! 
With Compassion For Our Human Weaknesses
And 
Despite Our Tepid Obedience
The Lord Helps Us So That We Are Not Destroyed: 
We Are Usually Left With The Scars And The "Tee-Shirts" 
To Show The Results Of Our Lack Of Bold Faith 
As A Plain Warning To Others! 

Beloved, 

The Lord Asks Us To Be Still 
And 
Know That He Is God
And 
To Be Still And See Your Own Soul's Salvation! 

The Lord Warns Us To Go In One Direction 
And 
To Return Another Way! 
He Says Do Not Eat Or Drink 
In Known Sinful Places! 

The Lord Warns Us Not To Allow Others To Divert Us 
From The Path Of Righteousness 
And
He Makes It Clear That 
When He Commands You To Go For Him That 
He Will Never Send Another Being 
To Change His Direct Commands 
Personally Given To You! 

We Have Free-Will And Choice! 
Please, I Beseech Us All
Do Not Permit The Loud And Obnoxious Voices
The Busyness Of Life
And
The Race To Get Gain And Power 
To Cause You Not To Hear 
And 
Heed The Voice Of Almighty God 
By The Holy Spirit Of Truth 
Who Is Leading Us Safely Home 
Via Guidance, Warning ... And Correction!

Jesus, The Lamb Of God, Is The Truth:
Listen To 
And 
Obey The Lamb! 
Hearken And Do: 
Blessings Await! 

Peace!
