VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Do You Ever Wonder What You Are Being Saved From!?!

 

In All That Happens To You
No Matter What Happens To You On Your Travels 
Toward The Eternal City
Never, Ever, Despise The Blessings Of The Lord Christ! 

Beloved, 

When Things Happen To Us
We Are Apt To Cry, Cuss, And Carry On! 
We Never Seem To Wonder What It Is That 
We Are Being Saved From
What It Is That We Are Being Carried Through! 

When We Were Children
And 
We Would Cry About Some Minor Matter
The Elders Would Ask What We Were Crying For! 

Our Response Would Then Cause Them To Say: 

"Stop Crying Right Now 
Or I Will Give You Something To Really Cry About!" 

It Worked Like A Charm! 

Dear Ones, 

Things Can Always Get Worse Than They Are At Present: 
Be Thankful Now! 

Things Will Only Get Better With Christ In Control: 
Go For Grace Now! 

The World Of Sin Naturally Walks In Darkness: 
Head To The Light Of Life Now! 

The Light Of Life Is Jesus Christ The Lord: 
Come To Jesus Now And Be Blessed And Saved! 

Dear Ones, 

Share Your Bread Even If It Is Dry 
And 
Share The Bread Of Life! 

Dry Bread Cast Upon The Waters 
Will Never Come Back To You Dry! 

Bread On Water Multiplies 
And 
Becomes A Soup 
Which, Blessed By The Eternal God
Comes To Your Table 
Seasoned ... And With All The Inclusions
Don't Forget The Dumplings! 

A Thankful Heart 
And 
A Grateful Spirit Make For A Contented Life In Christ 
Who Blesses His Well-Beloved Aka You! 

Keep Walking, Working, Watching
Trusting, Praying, Hoping
Believing, Obeying
And 
Enduring All Things! 
Our King ... Your King ... Is Coming! 

Peace!

HAPPY SABBATH + He Is Faithful Who Promised Us The Heavenly Land!











What Is The Difference Between 
The Promised Land
The Land Of Promise
And 
Promised The Land!?! 

The Land Of Promise 
Is 
The Place Where Hopes Are Realized! 

The Promised Land 
Is 
The Place You Are Longing To Reach! 

Being Promised The Land By The Person Of Integrity 
Gives One A Future And A Hope! 

Dear Ones, 

He Who Has Promised Us The Land 
Has Also Promised Us A City 
Whose Maker And Builder 
Is 
God Almighty
The God Who Cannot Lie
The God Whose Character Is Changeless 
And 
Whose Promises To Us Require From Us: 


"Yes, Lord!
AMEN!" 


Beloved, 

When We Arrive At The Place Called 
Agreement With Almighty God
We Must Set Our Faces Like Flint Against This Dying World 
And 
Its Dubious Pleasures 
And 
Decidedly Choose To Head Towards Our Heavenly Home
In The Plain Footprints Of Our Blessed Savior And Kind King! 

Satan And The Dominion Of The Damned 
Will Unceasingly Try To Stop Us From Arriving There! 

Take Heart! 
All Heaven Will Help Us

Stand Up For Jesus Christ! 

Listen!
Hear The Voice Of Jesus Christ Calling! 
Feel The Impress Of The Holy Spirit's Working! 
Know That Holy Angels Are Protecting
And 
Let Their Holy Influence Encourage You 
To Do The Good, The Right, And The Correct! 

After All, You Are One Of Almighty God's Elect
So Let No Created Being
Be They Human Or Unclean Spirit
Stop You From Getting To Collect What Is Already Your Own! 

Let The Promise Keep Your Mind Fixed And Focused 
On The Promissor ... Who Is Ever-Faithful! 

Peace!

Don't Be A Praying, Bible-Reading, Psalm Saying And Singing Sinner!











 I Will Never Understand Why Most Of Us Believe That 
We Are Able To Bribe The Lord To Bless Sin 
By Our Much Praying And Pleading, Bible Reading
And 
Psalm Saying And Singing! 

Beloved, 

Let's Commit This To Memory: 

The Lord Cannot Lie! 
The Lord Does Not Change! 
The Lord Does Not Play Favorites 
And
The Lord Will Not Sin Against His Own Word
Or His Character, His Holiness
To Give You "Gain" 
To Make You Happy
And 
Cause You To Love Him 
When These Things Are Neither For Your Good Nor His Glory! 

Simply Said, Saints
The Lord Ain't Fattening Nuh Lamb For Nuh Ram To Run 'Pon! 
Aka The Lord Ain't Financing Satan's War Against The Living Kingdom! 

Dear Ones, 

We Dishonor The Good Lord When We Ask Him 
- Using His Sacred Word - 
To Condone, Bless
And 
Prosper Our Lustful, Hate-Driven, Wickedness! 

We Have No Right, Privilege, Or Favor 
Permitting Us To Speak To The Lord Asking For Blessings 
When We Know We Have No Intention Of 
Fulfilling The Lord's Requirements 
Aka Honesty, Truthfulness, Obedience, Faith, Belief 
And 
No Wicked Laziness! 

And

He Will Not Christen Aka Baptize Pork And Call It Beef 
To Satisfy Our Deceitful Lusts! 

Sin Yesterday 
Is 
Sin Today 
Will Be Sin Tomorrow: 
The Lord Jesus Christ 
The Only One Righteous 
Is Not 
Some Simpering, Limp-Wristed, Liar 
Who Has To Purchase Friends, Family, And Followers! 

Let's Dare And Change Our Thoughts 
And 
Our Ways Today
So That We May Truly Follow Our Leader
The King Of Love And Glory! 

Peace!

The Stink-Bag Of Garbage!



King David Prayed 
And 
Asked The Lord To Keep Him In The Word 
So That He Would Not Sin Against The Living God! 

The Living God Is Holy 
And 
Sin And Sinners Cannot Exist In His Presence! 

King David Desired To Be In The Lord's Consuming Presence 
And 
He Knew That Sinning Would Put Paid To His Heart's Desire! 

Beloved, 

Consider This ...

We Have A Nasty Little Habit Of 
Vainly Attempting To Fix The Results Of Our Sin 
Instead Of Seeking To Rout Out The Source Of Our Sinning 
By Attaching Ourselves To The One Thing 
Which Would See Us Turning Away From Sin! 

Think Of It Like This ...

You Have An Open Bag Of Rotting Garbage 
On Your Center Table In Your Well-Appointed Living Room! 

Flies, Roaches, And Mice Are Showing Up Non-Stop 
And 
The Smell Is Stomach-Churning, Eye-Watering, Stink! 

You Set Mouse-Traps
Set Up Fly-Paper
And 
Put Out Roach Motels! 

You Invest In Costly Fragrance Sprays 
And 
Aroma-Therapy Burners! 

You Are At Your Wit's End
Majorly Inconvenienced
And 
Are Seriously Thinking To Sell Your House! 

In Cataloging What To Take With You
Position Number One On Your Clip-Board 
Is 
The Stink-Bag! 

What Will You Achieve 
By Such An Upside-Down Back-In-Front Loss-Leader Move!?! 

So That You Know The Right
Your Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth 
Is 
Wrapped In Plastic So That It Doesn't Get Dirty! 

It Has Never Been Used Save But To Make Sure That 
It Has 66 Books
An Old And New Testament
Genesis In The Beginning And Revelation At The End
The Books Of The Psalms And The Song Of Solomon
And 
The Four Gospels! 

You Don't Care To Know About Samson, King Saul, Judas
Or Abel, Seth, Enoch, Noah
Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph
Moses, Job
John The Baptist
Jesus The Christ
Stephen Martyr 
Or  Revelator John! 

Remember, Remember 
Don't Ever Forget ... 

Short-Sighted Can't See Far 
And 
Far-Sighted Don't See Near! 

Why Sell A Good House 
When You Can Toss Out The Stink-Bag 
After Reading Your Bible!?! 

A Visit To The Great Physician
- Purveyor Of Wisdom, Knowledge, And Understanding - 
To Receive Efficacious Eye Salve 
Is 
Decidedly In Order! 

Peace!



Unconfessed, Unrepented, Sin
Kept In The Heart-House 
Is
As The Stink-Bag Of Rotting Garbage
Kept In Your Living-Room!

Oh, Jesus, I Have Promised ...!




A Favored Hymn From Childhood Days 
Is 
One Very Pertinent For Us Committed Christians 
During These Days Which Are Called Sin's Glory Days! 


"Oh, Jesus I Have Promised, To Serve Thee To The End!
Be Thou Forever Near Me, My Master And My Friend!
I Will Not Fear The Battle, If Thou Art By My Side
Nor Wander From The Pathway, If Thou Wilt Be My Guide!"


Beloved, 

The Wicked Will Rage
And 
The Ragers Will Fade 
Because 
Jesus Christ Is The King Eternal 
And 
His Kingdom Will Stand Forever 
In The Peaceful, Joy-Filled, Glade! 

Let Us Remind Ourselves Time And Again That 
Those Who Are For Us 
Are More Than Those Who Are Against Us 

And

Never, Ever, Ever Forget That 
The Pleasures Of Sin Are But For A Season! 

Dear Ones, 

With Our Hands In Our Father's Hands By Faith And With Prayer
With Our Diligently Following In The Master's Foot-Prints
With Our Following The Word Of The Great King 
Through Seeing, Understanding, Accepting
And 
Doing As He Gently Bids Us
Our Service To Our Lord Becomes A Way Of Life For Us 
And
Decidedly Keeps Us Out Of The Clutches Of Satan, King Fraud! 

Jesus Christ Is Above, Before, Behind, And Beside Us: 
Take The Word Of Jesus With You 
And 
Stand With The Brave!

 Peace!

It Is Better Not To Know The Truth!?!



What Has And Is-Been The Curse Upon Your Family That
By Your Acknowledgement As A Committed Christian
Will At One And The Same Time 
Mark You As One Of "Them" By Outsiders 
And 
As An Outsider By The Them With Whom You Are Known Family!?! 

Is It Envy, Greed, The Unforgiving Spirit
Being A Know-Nothing Know-It-All
Hatred Of Authority
Practiced Wickedness
Head's-Down Bum's-Up Aka Ostrich-Itis
Carnality
Five-Finger Discounting Aka Thievery
Bring-A-Bone Carry-A-Bone Specializing Aka Gossiping
Or Gluttony
Which All Will Keep You Out Of The Glorious Kingdom!?! 

Beloved Believer, 

For Us To Leave Here 
To Go Over There To Be With Our Dear Savior 
"Forever And Ever, Amen!" 
We Must Do Some Serious Internal Housekeeping 
By The Grace Of The The Eternal God 

And

We Will Not Be Permitted To Glom On To That 
Carry-All Bag Of Self-Deception 
"It Is Better Not To Know The Truth!" 
Which Is Mainly Used As The Excuse To "Done" All Excuses: 

If I Know I Will Have To Change My Ways 
Or Do Something That I Don't Want To Do 
Or See Something That I Don't Want To Face 
Or Apologize For Something That I Prefer To Ignore 
Or Care About Something That I Rabidly Choose To Despise! 

Dear Ones, 

Just As Babies Have Tummy-Time To Strengthen Their Core
We Christians Need To Use Mirror-Time 
For More Than Self-Adoration! 

Dare To Make Wrong Things Right!  

Peace!

With Confidence And In Humility, Depend On The Lord!









Beloved, 

Despite The Challenges We Daily Face
Let Us Approach Our Great God In Prayer 
With Humility, Confidence, And Dependence! 

In Humility 
Because 
You Are In The Holy Presence Of The Eternal And Sovereign God! 

In Confidence 
Because 
You Know That Your God Is Real 
And 
Is Well Able To Provide 
For He Is Our Creator And Our Re-Creator
And 
Our Redeemer-God
Our Deliverer
The Lord Of Life! 

In Dependence 
Because 
We Know That He Knows That We Need Him Who Made Us
And 
We Know That He Loves Us Personally, Sacrificially, Eternally
And 
Desires Our Salvation
Our Healing
Our Cleansing

And 

We Truly Believe That 
He Will Do All That He Has Promised To Do For Us 
By His Death, Burial, Resurrection
And 
Ascension To His Father's House As The Conquering King! 

Dear Ones, 

The Only Guarantees Of 
Goodness And Grace And Glory In This Life 
Are In The Word Of Christ The King Who Gives Us Liberty! 

Let Us This Day Bow Before The Lord With Love
In Humility
Expressing Need, Gratitude, Giving Thanks, And Praise
Believing And Trusting Almighty God 
In The Name Of Our Blessed Jesus
And 
Finish It All With A Glad 
"AMEN! - So Let It Be!" 

Our King Is Coming: 
Get Ready 
And
Stay Vigilant Against Deceitful Snakes
Roaring Lions
And 
Fearsome Dragons! 

Look To Jesus Christ 
The Living, Holy, Light Of Life That 
Leads To Eternal Life! 

Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: PRAYER: Father, We Take Our Humble Position In Your Holy Presence!










PRAYER:


Father, 
Sorrows Are Abounding
And
Our Hearts Are Seemingly Floundering
On The Temptuous Sea Of Circumstance 
Like A Leaking Vessel Overloaded And Tormented 
By The Angry And Cruel Waves Of Regret
If Only, Why Me, And Where Are You, Lord!?! 

We Take Our Humble Position In Your Holy Presence 
As Members Of The Household Of Faith
Faithful, Obedient, Enduring, Hoping
And
Ever Remembering What You Did For Us Yesterday
What You Are Doing Today
- Most Of Which We Will Never Know About In This Life -
And
We Lean, Strong In Your Word
On Your Blood-Bought Promises Of
A Grand And Glorious Tomorrow 
As We Choose By Saving Grace To Trust You
Our Creator, Savior, Sustainer, Maintainer, Redeemer
Lord, God, Kind King, And Forever Faithful Friend! 

Please Help Us To Remain Steadfast, Strong
And
Very Courageous
Knowing That Your Blessings Cannot Fail
That You Are The Good Shepherd Always On Duty And Vigilant
That Your Refuge For Us Is Guarded By Your Holy Angels Invincible
And
Knowing That We Are Safe In Your Secret Place Of Prayer 
Where All Is Well
And
Will Be Well With Our Purchased-From-Sin Souls! 

Please Help Us To Faithfully See To
The Care And Keeping Our Own Souls 
So That We Will Be Overcomers Of Self And Sin
And
Hear You Say In The Glad Day:
"Welcome Home, My Child
My Good And Faithful Servant!" 

Please Speak Peace Over Us, Lord
Because
We Love And Worship You!
AMEN!!!

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!
