HAPPY SABBATH + Live In Hope!










Our Today Behaviors Will Impact Our Tomorrow Outcomes 
But
There Is Nothing That Is Done Today 
Which Will Change What Transpired Yesterday! 

Beloved, 

As Says The Scripture
Where There Is Life, There Is Hope 
So, Obviously, We Who Are Alive 
Should Take Pleasure In Living Our Lives With Hope
The Blessed Hope
Our Can't-Fail Hope In The Lord Jesus Christ 
Who Shall Come The Second Time In Blazing Glory 
As King Of Kings And Lord Of Lords 
To Receive Unto Himself 
All Who By Sacrifice Have Made Him Their Everlasting Portion! 

Dear Ones, 

Every Now-Alive Person 
Is 
Given One Day Aka Today, To Live Today: 
Tomorrow Is Not Promised To Any Created Being! 

We Are Given Today To See For Ourselves What Sin Is 
And 
What Sin Does 
And
The Opportunity To Choose Salvation Aka Life In Christ 
Which Offers To Us The Better Way To Live Now 
And
Eternal Guarantees Of Everlasting Life 
And 
Unsurpassed Glory In The Land Of No Night 
Where All Is Peace, Love, And Joy! 

We Are Not To Live Like Heathens And Dumb Animals 
Who Have No Hope! 

Our Hope Is In Our Lord God Jesus Christ 
Who Gently Calls Us 
And 
Warmly Invites Us To Believe Him At His Word 
And
Choose To Enter The Haven Of Rest! 

Beloved, 

No One But You May Make Your Eternal Decision For You: 
Keep Hope Alive 
And 
Live For Jesus Who, Alone, Saves And Seals Us 
By His Holy Spirit 
Who Leads Us Into All Truth! 
Hope In God! 

Peace!

Instant Justice!?! + PRAYER: Thank You, Lord, For The Blessings That Give Forever!




Never Get Comfortable In Or With Sin! 

Beloved, 

Think For A Moment Of What Our Lives Would Be Like 
If 
Our Savior Dear Dispensed Instant Justice - No Mercy - 
For Every Unchristian, Unholy, Unauthorized Thing That We Did 
And
Consider Where You Would Be 
Given Your Checkered Personal History! 

Also, Think About What Your Life Would Be Like 
If 
"Do To Others What You Want Them To Do Unto You!" 
Was Instantly Activated In All Facets Of Your Life 
Given Your Present Attitude, Outlook
And 
Personal Practice! 

Dear Ones, 

Aren't You Glad That We Have The Savior
Our Blessed Jesus
Who Is Touched By The Feelings Of Our Infirmities 
Because 
He Knows The Weight We Carry 
Because Of 
Sin Inherited From Our Fore-Parents Adam And Eve!?! 


PRAYER:

Father, 
We Give You Thanks And Praise 
For The Privilege Of Praying To You
The Holy God Who Has Given Unto Us
The Blessed Gifts Of Confession And Repentance
And
The Hedge Of Protection That Is
The Ten Commandments
And
The Promises Of The Beatitudes
The Blessings That Give Forever! 

Please Help Us To Choose The Way Of The Cross 
And
To Choose To Cross The Road  To The Other Side
When We See Known-Sin Approaching! 

Please Help Us To Do Good Because It Is Right
And
To Love Others As We Love Ourselves
And
Willingly Do All For The Love Of Jesus Christ
Our Savior, Lord, God
And
Soon Returning King!
AMEN! 


Peace, Beloved!

What Comes Out Of Us Is What Is Already In Us!




How Stunning!
Being Polite 
And 
Treating People How You Desire To Be Treated 
Is 
Now Considered Unbelievable, Amazing
A Pleasure To Behold! 

How Can This Be Possible 
If We, As Committed Christians, Are Walking In The Light That 
Leads To Eternal Life!?! 

Beloved, 

Is It Possible To Discern From Your Words And Your Deeds That 
You Are A Member Of The Pilgrim Band 
On The Narrow Way On The King's Highway 
In This Vale Of Tears!?! 

Harsh Words
Faces Rendered Ugly By Internal Conflict
Rage, Envy, Hatred
Greed, Insincerity, Unkindness
And 
Other Ungodly Thoughts 
Are Causing Our Conversations And Actions 
To Be Harsh, Cruel, And Unprofitable! 

Dear Ones, 

Remember, Remember, Don't Ever Forget That 
What Comes Out Of Us 
Is 
What Is Already In Us 
And
It Is What Comes Out Of Us That Defiles Us! 

Again, There Is No Law That 
Is 
Able To Stand Against A Meek And Gentle Spirit! 

Please, I Beseech Us All
Choose To Be Soft-Spoken 
When Loud And Aggressive Persons Berate You! 

Choose To Be Soft-Spoken, Gentle, Kind
And
Loving To Whomever, Whenever, And Wherever 
Because 
You Do Not Know If Your Voice 
Is 
Going To Be The Last Kind And Tender Voice That 
Some Dear Soul May Hear Before They Depart This Life! 

Kindness Is Not Weakness! 
Kindness Always, Always, Pays Dividends! 

Set-Aside Self: 
Please Be Kind! 

Peace!

Servers Will Get Served: Sow And Show Mercy!




Life Is Amazing! 

Can You Imagine Being A Person 
Who Acts Like Judge, Jury
And 
Executioner Against Anyone That 
You Feel Has Not Given You The Requisite Hat Off
Ring Kiss
And 
Great-Toe Lick You Know That You Deserve 
Because 
You Are King This, Queen That
Doctor See Me, Or Lawyer Give Me!?! 

Beloved, 

Behold King Saul
King Ahab And His Wife, Wicked Queen Jezebel
And 
Jezebel's Apple Don't Fall Far From The Tree Daughter
Queen Athaliah 
And
Consider The Lives That They  Embittered 
And 
Ultimately Ruined By Deceit And Deviltry 
Because 
They Didn't Keep Mercy At Home In Their Hearts!  

When You Set Yourself Up To Be "God Of All" 
When You're Nothing But A Non-Paying Tenant 
On The Lord's Beautiful Though Despoiled Blue Ball Aka Earth
You Never Have Reason To Believe That 
You, Yourself, Will Be Eventually Judged 
And 
Will Undoubtedly Cry Out For ... Mercy! 

Dear Ones, 

We Will All Do Well To Remember The Adage: 

"Do What You Want Done To You!" 

The Only Being Having No Cause To Receive Mercy 
Is 
He Who Is The Merciful God 
And
The Judge Of All Flesh

And Therefore

We Should Stop Thinking That We Are The Cat's Meow 
And 
Realize That Givers Will Eventually Be Receivers 
Aka Servers Will Get Served! 

Please Be Very Careful 
About What You Dare To Do To Others! 

Our Lord Jesus Sees, Hears
And 
Knows All Things! 

Judgment Day Is Up Ahead: 
Sow And Show Mercy ... Now! 

Peace!

Contented With Or Contemptuous Of ... The Lord Of Life!?!



Have You Ever, By Will Or By Accident
"Mistaken" The Words Content And Contempt!?! 

Have You Ever Neglected To Be Contented 
With What The Good Lord In Mercy Has Provided For You
Even If It Is Biscuits Aka Crackers 
And Not Your Favored Raisin Bread With Pretend-Chicken Salad 
And By So Doing
Shown Contempt For Almighty God!?! 

Beloved, 

The Air Of Discontent Is Perfuming The Atmosphere 
And 
Infecting People 
With The Attitude Even Unto The Character Of Contempt 
Which Causes Many To "Show" Themselves As "God" 
And Thus 
Captain Of Their Own Ship 
And 
Master Of The Winds Of Strife 
And 
The Unstable Waves Of Life 
Driven And Tossed By Said Winds Which Have No Destination 
Predetermined By Finite, Frail, And Fragile Man! 

Dear Ones, 

Let Us This Day Disabuse Ourselves Of 
The Fallacious Aka False "Knowledge" That 
We May Hold The Eternal God In Contempt
As A Being Of No Value
And 
Despised
And 
Escape Unscathed! 

Jesus Christ Is Almighty God In Flesh 
And 
We Are Because He Is 
And
We Are Fed Because He, In Love, Provides! 

May We Consider 
And
Find Satisfaction, Rest, And Refreshing In Knowing That 
All That We Have ... And Are
Our Blessed Jesus Provides! 

Please Hold Sin ... And Self ... In Contempt 
And 
Not Our Dear Savior Jesus
By Whom We Live And Breathe And Prosper
And
For Whom We Should Live To Honor, Worship, And Serve! 

Peace!

Know The Way And Employ The Meek And Gentle Spirit!



Jesus Christ The Righteous
Our Only Savior, Redeemer, Friend
King, Lord, And Holy God
Told Us That Our Love For And Obedience To His Will 
To Walk In His Perfect Way 
Would Incur For Us The Malice, Hatred, And Wrath Of 
The Worldly-Wise Unmoved By The Holy Spirit's Call 
To Free-To-All Salvation! 

Our Lord Also Told Us Not To Be Dismayed 
Because 
He, Himself ... Divinity Clothed In Humanity 
And 
Walking In Humility
Had Overcome The World For Us! 

Beloved, 

We Will Be Called To Endure As Jesus Christ Endured
And 
We Will Be Equipped To Endure And Overcome 
As He Endured And Overcame The Malice, Cruelty
Unkindness, Torment, Torture
Deprivation, Denial, Dismissal, Disrespect
And 
Denigration Of The Masses 
By Employing The Meek And Gentle Spirit 
- Against Which There Is No Law -
Praying To The Father Without Ceasing
Working Whilst It Was Yet Day
Walking In The Will And Way Of The Father Of The Faithful
And 
Unwavering Obedience Unto Death! 

Dear Ones, 

Jesus Christ's Mission To Mankind For Mankind's Blessing 
Was Successful 
Because 
He Knew The Plan
Stuck To The Plan
And 
Worked The Steps Of The Plan 
Because 
The Foundation Upon Which He Walked 
Stood Sure And Secure On The Ancient Of Days! 

Do You Know Of
Remember Why
Recognize That
Walk Wisely In
Work Diligently On
And 
Watch Untiringly For The Plan's Unfolding 
While Being Readied For Your Part In Its Finishing!?! 

Let's Repair To Prayer 
And 
Let The Good Book Be Our Guide! 
Look Up! 

Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH : There Is An Elevator In Endurance!




There Is No Point To Pride
No Satisfaction In Sin
And 
Nothing Graceful About Greed! 

There Is A Mattress In Mercy
And 
A Pillow In Peace! 

There Is An Object In Obedience
And 
An Elevator in Endurance! 

There Is A Push In Perseverance
Amazing Love In Following The Lord
And 
Worth In Walking Wisely! 

There Is Power That Comes 
From Praising Him Who Calls Us To His Side
And 
We Are Blessed Beyond All Measuring 
When We Walk In The Way That 
Leads To His Eternal Life! 

There Is A Train In Truth 
So Get On Board To Avoid Damnation's Gloriless Horde! 

Dear Ones, 

The Lord Jesus Saves Us One By One 
So Do Not Follow The Loud-Mouthed 
So-Called Powerful 
Known Wayward, Winsome, Wicked, And Wild 
Just Because You Want Things! 

The Loud-Mouthed Will Have Nothing To Say
And 
The Powerful Will Be Powerless 
In The Wondrous Presence Of Our Glorious King
Jesus Christ The Lord! 

Choose Wisely: 
Early, And In Earnest, Seek The Savior! 

Peace!

HAPPY SABBATH + GRATITUDE: Let Your Tongue Be A Ready Writer!










 








How Often Have We ... In The Euphoria Of Blessings Received
Chosen To Do A Show And Tell Of The Things We Have Gotten 
And 
Have Totally Forgotten
Ignored, Disregarded, Or Dismissed 
The Grace, Mercy, Love
And 
Kindness Of The Giver Of All Our Good Gifts!?! 

Where Is Our Gratitude!?! 

Do We Not Realize That If Our God Took Offense 
At Our Graceless Oversights, And Downright Devilish 
"I Deserve This!" Attitude, That 
He Could Take Away Our Pride And Joy 
And 
Leave Us Useless, Homeless, Penniless
And 
Powerless For Our Boldly Base Behavior!?! 

One Leper Out Of Ten 
Knew And Truly Understood Where His Blessing Came From 
And 
Turned Back To The Master To Give Him
To Give Almighty God
Real Praise! 

Good King Hezekiah
After He Was Raised Up From His For-Sure Death-Bed
Instead Of Telling The Babylonian Strangers 
Inquiring About His Blessings That 
It Was The True And Living Holy God 
Who Blessed And Kept Him And His Nation
He Showed Them His Things! 

After They Left To Return To Their Nation
The Sentence Came From God
- Through The Prophet Isaiah - 
That All That The Babylonians Had Seen 
Would Follow Them To Their Homeland! 

Dear Ones, 

Be Wise! 

The Lord Of Life Giveth 
And 
The Lord Calling Us Home To Himself Taketh Away 
So Let A Thankful Heart Keep Your Bountiful Blessings On You 
And 
In Your Home! 

Give Almighty God His Owed ... And Deserved ...  Praise: 
Let Your Tongue Be A Ready Writer! 

Peace!

Sin ... The Gussied-Up Porker





Sin Is Criminal 
But It Is Not Justifiable ... In The Eyes Of Almighty God! 

Sin Can Be Accidental 
But It Is In Our Best Interests 
To Decidedly Consider Its Embrace To Be Suicidal! 

Beloved, 

No Christian Truly Trusting The Faithful Holy One
Will Ever Consider The Journey To Jesus And Joy 
To Be A Suicide Mission
A Mission Of No Return
And 
Deftly Decide To Have A Last Ditch Hurrah Blithely Sinning!

To Do Such Would Be To Give The Devil 
His Dastardly And Destructive Desire: 
We Can't Afford The Fall-Out 
For The Dues Are Usurious! 

Dear Ones, 

No Matter How Many Times You Wash A Porker
No Matter How Expensive The Pearls
Or How Rare The Perfume
A Gussied-Up Porker 
Will Always Be A Wallow In The Mud Besmirched Hog!

If We Do Not See Sin Through The Eyes Of Our Savior
Sin Will Always Be Enticing
Worth Following
Worth Excusing
And 
Worth Our Wholehearted Participation! 

Let Us, Instead, Look To Jesus Christ
The Author And Finisher Of Our Faith 
Who Died To Rid Us Of Sin
And Ever Lives To Have Us 
- Cleansed And Forgiven - 
Ride Home To Be With Him! 

Let's See Sin 
And
Walk On By On The Other Side Of The Road 
To Stand Where Salvation Is Stationed 
And 
Tenderly Calling To Us! 

Please Pray For Power ... And Press On To Glory! 

Jesus Saves Us From Sin: 
Walk In Accord With Him! 


Peace!

Walk, Work, And Watch In Obedience!



The To-Christ Order Of Operations: 
What To Do First! 
Do We Behave And Then Believe, Or Vice Versa!?! 

Our Holy Bible Tells Us That 
All Who Come To God Must Believe That 
He Is God And A Rewarder Of Those Who Diligently Seek Him! 

Simply Put:

"If We: Then He!" 


Put Another Way
If We Confess Our Sins
Then He Is Faithful And Just To Forgive Us Our Sins 
And
To Cleanse Us From All Unrighteousness! 

Dear Ones, 

On Your First Day At Your New Job That 
You Chose 
And
Was Accepted For
You Do Not Receive Your Future To-Be-Regular Paycheck 
Plus Overtime
And Bonus
And Travel And Entertainment Allowance! 

Only Performance Pays Off! 

Our Savior Dear Is Able To Say "If We" 
Because 
He Already Did The Necessary To Grant Us Free 
And 
Open Access To The Throne Of Grace
So We Must Know Who We Are Without Christ: Sinners Damned
Who We Are In Christ: Sinners Saved Aka Saints Of God And Christ
And 
The Requirements 
To Be Able To Wear The White Robe Of His Righteousness! 

In Order To Have ACR-A Clean Record Next To Our Name
We Must Accept The Offered Gift Of Salvation
Confess Our Known Sin
Repent Of The Evil
And 
Walk, Work, And Watch In Obedience! 

The Humility Of Worked Faith Keeps Us On The Way! 
Overcomers Are Faith-Working Believers! 
Never Forget It! 

Peace!

There Is No Oliver Twist Seated At The Table Of The Lord!




Nobody Seated At The Lord's Table 
Will Ever Have To Do An Oliver Twist 
And 
With Hunger Pangs
In The Shocked Hearing Of 
The Assembled Multitudes Of Likewise Famished, Ask: 


"Please, May I Have Some More!?!" 


Beloved, 

Our Blessed Benefactor With No Equal
Who Owns The Cattle On A Thousand Hills 
And 
Every Last Thing In All Creation
Has No Need To Issue Short Rations To Save Costs 
And
At The Same Time 
Line His Deep Pockets By Fraud! 

Dear Ones, 

Use Your Access 
And 
Your Humble Words Of Hope, Trust, And Faith! 

Boldly Ask "Bigly" For Your Blessings Known Bountiful! 

Just Remember, Though, That 
You Can't Ask The Lord For What Won't Bless You 
And
Glorify His Dear Name! 

Check The Living Word Which Is A Transcript Of 
The Holy God's Unchanging, Unchangeable, Character! 

The Word Works! 

Peace!

DOUBT DESTROYS: Look Up To Jesus Christ With Hope ... And Live!




We Love To Sing "All The Way My Savior Leads Me!" 
But
In The Midst Of Daily Trial And Constant Temptation
Necessary Test And Internal Torment 
We Suddenly Forget Who Is The One We Call Savior
And 
The Prophesied And Blood-Promised Destination 
To Which We Are Being Led! 

Beloved, 

Satan The Adversary Is The Liar: 
Jesus Christ Our Savior, Our Creator
The Holy God
The Only Wise God
Is 
The Truth! 

We, Even When We Have Been Unfaithful To The Faithful One
And 
Have Gone A-Whoring After 
The Truthless And Useless Things Of This Life
Have Abundantly Seen The Providences
The Wonderful Provision And Saving Graces Of 
Our Blessed Jesus! 

This Present Time, Dear Ones
Is 
Not The Time To Become Faint-Hearted
Denying
And 
Doubtful About The Goodness Of Our God! 

I Pray That We Will Stand With The Brave 
Knowing Jesus 
And 
Telling The World That It Is He, Alone
Who Always Saves! 

Doubt Destroys! 

Look Up To Jesus With Hope ... And Live!

What Looks Good On The Devil's Rack ...!

 

At The Blessed Storehouse Of The Ages 
Owned And Operated 
Maintained And Sustained By Jesus Cares
Cost-You-Less And More-For-Less 
Are Not Labels Accepted Or Displayed Among 
What Are Known As  Great Goods For One Solitary Reason: 
Satan Is The Manufacturer
His "Dummy" Corporation Is Called Sin
And 
Destruction Is His To-Die-For Brand! 

Dear Ones, 

Sin Does Not Give Second Chances: 
Salvation Does! 

The Way Out Of Sin 
Is
Through The Door Called Faith Works
And 
It Is Those Who Choose To Walk Simply
Kindly, Justly, Obediently, And Enduringly 
Who Will, By Free Grace, Turn The Handle Called 
Available Mercy
And 
Walk On Through The Door To Eternal Life! 

Please, I Beseech Us All
Let Us Remember Today That 
What Looks Good On The Devil's Rack 
Does Not Look Good ... Or Wear Well
On Your Christ-Died-For-You Back! 

Jesus Cares Is Good For You Now And For Always! 

Live For The Life-Giver: 
Know Your Value In Christ Jesus! 

Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Converging Or Diverging!?! + PRAYER: Please Help Us To Pray Always!

 








Are You A Diverging From 
Or A Converging With The World Christian 
Aka Are You Different From The Worldly-Wise 
Or Are You As The Worldly-Wise!?! 

Dear Ones, 

If You Were In "The Line-Up" 
Would Anybody Say In Your Regard, As A Swear-Word: 
"This Person Is Not Like The Others!" 

Are You Standing Apart, Walking, Talking, Dressing, Behaving
As One Belonging To The Master Of The Wind 
Or As One Who Is Being Mastered By The Changing Winds Of 
This God-Forsaking World!?! 

The Lord Jesus Knows! 
Do You!?! 
Do I!?! 

Let's Seriously Think About It 
Because 
Our Being Possessors Of The Eternity Of Peace 
Depends Upon Our Answer! 

Peace! 



Prayer:


Heavenly Father,
We Come As Children Of Faith
And
With Pitiful Cry Ask You To Help Us
To Obediently, Enduringingly, Follow
The Living, Holy, Word Of Saving Truth
So That We May Know Of A Surety
Our Eternal Standing 
In Jesus Christ Our Glorious Lord!

Please Help Us To Pray Always
And
Not Faint At The Barbs
And
Threatenings Of The Evil One
But To Standing As The Faithful
Rooted And Grounded
Sheltered And Protected
Unmoved And Unafraid
Because
We Know That Our God Is Real And Returning
And
His Promises To Us Ever Sure
And
Only Require Our "Yes, Lord!" And "AMEN!"
In Jesus Christ's Holy Name
We Humbly Pray And Plead!
AMEN.

HAPPY SABBATH + Let The Lord Lead You With His Love!












Beloved, 

How Well Are You Able To Handle Disappointment 
Or, More Particularly
Are You Able To Handle Disappointment!?! 

We Live In A Fast-Paced World 
Which Accepts Neither Denial, Disappointment
Disapproval, Nor Deprivation 
And Yet
As Committed To Christ Christians
We Must Be Able To Accept All These With Grace 
Because 
Our Heavenly Father Always Knows Best 
And
Ever Does Right For And By Us! 

Let's Let Him Lead Us Today 
Because 
It Is Done With Abiding Love Which Does Not Suffer Loss! 

Peace!
