VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Contentment




Greed for Money Makes Men Mad
Madness for Money Makes Men Mean
Money Meanest Makes Men Murderous
Enough to Pick a Cold Corpse Clean!

The Bible States it Well that
Love for Money is The Root
Of All Evil that Can Be Seen!
So Use Money for Its Intended Purpose
And Men Will Not be Ravening Locusts!

Little With Contentment is Our Goal
Those of Us who Call Jesus Christ, Lord!
Our Little with God's Contentment 
Makes Bitter Herbs Preferable
To Great Strife with Much Meat!
Please Learn This and Daily Repeat!






TRUTH: Because Of His Blood ...

Because The Word Created Man - I Live!
Because The Shepherd Died - I Won't Have To Stay Dead
Because The Savior Arose - By His Promise I Shall Awake
Because Jesus Christ Lives - I, Too, By His Faith, Shall Live Again ... for Eternity!
Because The Redeemer IS Returning - I Shall Inherit A Home In His Father's House!
Because of The Pet Pascal Lamb's Spilt Blood - I Can Approach Our Father!

Jesus Christ's Innocence Paid For My Guilt!
By His Cruel Death at Calvary
The Balance of Power Did Tilt, and
If I Would Accept That The Gift Is Not Gilt
I Will Be Clean - Not Covered in Silt!

I Can Trust The Living Word of The Glorified Master
Whose Love for Me Is Eternity Wide
I Will Lie On The Sacrifice-For-Sin Altar
And By Jesus Christ's Everlasting Merits
Cross To God Over The Great Divide!

Let No Creature - Seen nor Secreted - Kill Your Hope-in-Jesus Tree
Water The Roots
And Lovingly Tend and
Manure It - with The Living Word - Freely!

If Our Seed-Faith Is Christ-Sound
And The Glory-Light Resplendent Abounds
With The Pruning of Repentance and Confession, and 
The Tillage of Humble Prayer
Abundant Hope - in God Fulfilled - Will See Us
In The Heaven-bound Holy Throng 
On The King's Golden One-Way Highway!
Pass This Word Along!

HAPPY SABBATH: The Gospel Stands Indestructible!











Let No One Feel that Spillage of a Believer's Life's Blood
Will Stop The Gospel from Going Forth to 
The Ends Of The Earth!

The Gospel of The Love of God has No Limits 
for
It Is The Truth-Provided Resource!


The Gospel Of The Love Of God Is:

Sanctioned by God
Spread by Faith
Covered in Blood
Revealed to All by God's Grace
Sealed by God's Mercy
Delivered by Love
Held by Hope
Carried by Trust in God
Used by Lovers of God
Preached by Believers in God
Protected by Angels of God
and
Accepted By Those Needful By God's Holy Spirit!

Spoken in Truth by The Truth
The True Word of God
Will Forever Stand ... By GOD!

PRAYER: Bless and Keep Us, Lord





Lord, I say this Honest Prayer
Because of Family and Friends
About Whom I Care
If Granting them Riches would make Them You Forget
I Sincerely Pray that Their Pockets be Always Out to Let!
If Fame and Power will Cause Them to be Lost
I Sincerely Pray for a Good Job for Them, and a Saintly Boss!

Father, I Do Not Myself Forget
Keep Me with Just Enough
So that I Always Know from Whose Hand I Get My Stuff!
Never, Ever Let Me Forget Who for Me Died on The Cruel Cross
For, Lord, I do not Desire that My Soul Should At The End Be Lost.

Have Mercy, Lord, and Bless Your People
Each According as The Need for Today May Be
Enough for Self and
Enough to Share with Another!
Bless and Keep us, Lord
Grant Sweet Peace in The Night
Carry Us Safe Through The Fight
For You ARE Our God, and
We Have No Need For Another.
AMEN

God Is As An Umbrella!





God Is As An Umbrella!
Tell Me If You Can See
Cloth - Spread Over
Spokes - Holding It Up and Out
Handle - To Hold!
Mechanism - To Activate Umbrella - To Cause It To Work!

The Closed Umbrella
A Support Walking-Stick Makes
An Accent On The Smooth Path
To Lean On As We Reach The Elevated Path!

In Rain and In Snow
The Umbrella Is A Covering For Sure
But Unopened - Not Useful
A Burden For Sure!

In Sunshine
The Umbrella Is A Welcome Sunshade
A Comfort - One Is Well Blessed - with
The Benefits of The Sun
Without The Burning Skin and Frown I Confidently Suggest!

But ...

A Broken Umbrella Is
An Embarrassment To Use
Ripped, Unanchored Covering
Bent Spokes
Mangled Mechanism
Broken Handle - "Please Cast That Junk Out The Door!"

Take  A Good Look At Your Umbrella
Look At What Usually Breaks First:

The Stitching - Daily Prayer
The Spokes Bend Break - The Holy Spirit Get  Disconnected By Winds of Strife Through       Unsound Sewing
Handle Breaks - No Support In The Word

Surprisingly,

The Mechanism - To Operate The Metaphorical God - Works!

Actual Prayer Still Works!

Problem Is ... We Don't Repair To Pray!


In The Time of Your Storm
Hold to Jesus' Hand
Under The Covering of The Father
Held Up By The Spirit Power
Activated By That Mechanism
Known To All Believers as
PRAYER
Which is Great for Your Protection
If 
You Pray Every Day!


Do You Have An Umbrella?
Who OR What Is Your Umbrella?
How Is Your Umbrella Working Out For You?
Would You Share Your Umbrella?

Or, Maybe, Perhaps, Just Possibly ...

Is Your Umbrella In Pristine Never-used Condition

Operating As a Dust Catcher 
OR
Prized Souvenir 
OR 
A Dead Talisman?

An Unused Umbrella Is A Waste
It Just Takes Up Valuable Real-estate Space
You Prop It Up - It Lays Right Down
You Lay It Down - You Fall Over It ... And You Frown
This Is The Fact! There Is No Getting Around!

A Working Umbrella Is A Grace
Providing Shelter 
Whatever The Season Or The Place
It May Be Worn But In Good Repair
And
You Never Have To Say:
"I Wish I Had My Umbrella Today!"
Because It Is Upon You
Ready To Work ... When You Say:
"Weather's About!"
 I'll Get The Old Umbrella Out!"

*******

If You Keep God With You
You Will Always Have Access To Him
If You Are In Constant Prayer
Your Muscle Of Request Is In Good Repair
You Never Have To Worry
You Never Have To Fear
Trust God - He Delivers
So, Please, Be Constant With Your Prayers!

WHOREDOM: Jesus Saves!





"Marry me!

Marry Me!
PLEASE MARRY ME!

You don't have to Give me anything!

I just want to Bear Your Name!

You are Important, Famous, Wealthy, Appealing, Knowledgeable, Knowing, and Mighty Enough To Save Me!

I have Money of my own - I can buy my own Food!

Yes, I have money all my own - I can Purchase my own Clothes!

All  that I Desire of You, is Your Name! No more, no less. Just let me Bear Your Name so that The Goode People can't Call me The Whole Whore any more! Please Take The Shame Out of my Face!"


So said Sephorada to Shiloh.

What had brought on this Outrageously Emotional - and Publicly Demeaning - Display?

Why is Sephorada begging Shiloh to Marry her when Everybody Knows that they are in a Committed Relationship?

Hmmm ...


Previously ...

Sephorada and Shiloh were in Love with each other.

They were Made for each other, and Everybody spoke of how well The Relationship was going and how good they Looked together, and how sure they were that their future Marriage would be Prosperous, and Fruitful in the Multiplying!

Everybody Believed that in The Fullness of Time, Sephorada and Shiloh would Declare their intentions, and that The Decree of Commitment would go forth to all The People publicly declaring that they were Joined for Eternity.

Strange, how you think you know people and The Truth Is A Disappointment.

Shiloh is The Absolute Kindest, Friendliest, Most Honest, Nicest, Blessingest Person you will ever meet this side of Eternity.

He Walks and Talks like he Knows The Living God ... up Close and Personally!

Shiloh is Polite, soft-spoken, helpful, caring, motivated - The Perennial Provider, and He Loves Sephorada - as he, Himself, says - Eternally!

Sephorada, on the other hand, is Everything you would expect from a Volatile, Wild Child, and Loving Lady with Champagne Tastes and Surviving - Allegedly - on a Mauby Budget, after having been Born and Raised, and is Living on The Other Side of the Goode Tract!

If Truth is told, Everybody with a Working Conscience will Honestly tell you that Sephorada is a Light Skirt! At least she was until Shiloh picked her Literally off the Street and publicly Claimed her for His Very Own!

He Placed His Love on Public Display! All he asked of Sephorada was Fidelity, and Life was Great ... for a while.

Well, as Ladine Fate would tell it, Sephorada was Batting Left and Bowling Right! Sometimes, it is said that she is an All-rounder! And Shiloh - who seemed to be everywhere at given anytime - Knew about it, and did not seem to let her "Past" stop him from Loving her Endlessly!

Shiloh kept on Showing Sephorada what True Love Looks Like!

As He, himself, said: "True Love Is Not Blind!"

Sephorada was also hanging out in Idol Groves, a place Noted for its Promulgation of Choice Gods, and Gay Abandon!

Shiloh had asked Sephorada to put her Past in The Past, and to Turn Away from That Life, and to Commit To Him and His Ways for he could Make Her Whole - she had said "Yes!"

Shiloh has High Ideals and Maintains High Standards of Excellence, and I guess that you know that Shiloh is not going to Play Pretty Push-over just to have Sephorada!

I also guess that you Know that There Is Trouble in The Land, and The Goode People were talking about Sephorada and calling her "That Harlot!" and "Ungodly," and saying that she really needed The Shepherd, and that if she did not Turn Away from her Love of The Mall at Fleeting Things she was going to get herself Officially Branded as one of The Apostate and Lost Souls!






For Your Information ...

Sephorada was a Seriously Bad Influence for many of The Unmarrieds and, Suprisingly, quite a few of The Members of The Faithful Few were Dancing and Cavorting and Worshiping with their Supposed Opposites at Loose Lips and Heart Slips! 

It soon became Apparent that Sephorada was on The Payroll of That Notorious Break-Down Merchant, Natas Nam, himself!

After that Episode of Begging, Pleading, and Beseeching, and Shiloh's Summary Rejection of her Insulting Offer to Bear His Name to Hide Her Shame, Sephorada's Life got Ugly, Really, Really Ugly, Really, Really Fast!

Anyway, I will not Bore you with The Terrible Details of what Finally Caused Sephorada to "Come To!"

I will ask you to Remember these Statements, though: 


  • You Carry Your Own Pigs To Fine Market
  • Hide and Buy Land Can't Hide and Reap Land
  • What Goes Around Comes Around
  • Planters of Indian Corn Don't Reap Guinea Corn
  • Who Help You Buy a Big Belly Horse Won't Help You To Feed It
  • Today For Me - Tomorrow For You
  • Know What You Grow, and
  • Out of Darkness Into Light


What I will also Tell you is that Throughout Sephorada's Constant Backsliding and Re-connection and Re-commitment, Shiloh Stood Up and Pleaded ... and Pleaded ... and Pleaded ... His Eternal Love for His Beloved. He Watched Over her, all the while Permitting her Space to make her Own Decision to walk wholly with him, and in Faith!


Shiloh never once Tried to Force Sephorada to Come Over to His Way of Thinking.

Shiloh Never Gave Up on Sephorada, and he Remained Ever Faithful.

As for Sephorada, until she Acknowledged that Life Without Shiloh was Life in The Pits, she Bought, and Paid For, and Ate The Very Bread That The Devil Kneaded, and she Wears those Scars to This Day!


Nevertheless, when she Finally Confessed, and Truly Repented to Shiloh for her Profligate Lifestyle, and Turned Away from The Past, he Willingly Embraced her, and he Gave her an Eternal Supply of Beauty For Ashes Parfum. 


It was a Beautiful Reunion!

However, those who Saw The Evidence of The Real Change in Sephorada, and Chose to Ignore it, and Continued Down The Broad Way, The Judgment Seat of The Ancient of Days Awaits.


Every Man Must Make His Own Decision
for
Eternal Life
or
Eternal Separation from God!

Please Take Heed Of The Gospel Warning
Accept The Truth and
Don't Swallow The Lie
Every Man For Himself
Makes His Own Decision 
Either 
To Live 
Or 
To Die!




GOD 
Saves
FROM 
SIN!

GOD 
Will Not 
Save YOU 
IN SIN!

Accept THE TRUTH 
and
Learn THE DIFFERENCE!





Jesus Christ
 - The Savior & Our Redeemer - 
Gets The Sin Out!

ATTENTION!! ATTENTION!! God Ain' Got No College Degree!!





I Grew Up Hearing:

"Never Bite The Hands That Feed You!"

"Never Burn Bridges You May Have To Re-Cross!"

I Took Those Words to Heart
And in Life made of them a Good Chart!

Modern Man Obviously Did Not Get The Memo!

"What God?" they question.

And their New Age Knowledge says:



"God is Dead!"

"We are God!" 

"Forget God!"

"You Don't Need God!
You've Got A Head!"





With this Reasoning In Place, there is:


Don't Follow God
He has no Learned Degree
And if He even had one
He didn't Pay The Graduation Fee!

God Has:

No Graduate Degree
No Post Grad Study
No Doctoral Degree
No Fellowship Work
No Peer Reviews has He
No Published Studies
No Grants 
No Commissions 
To give Him Pretty Pedigree!

With this State of Affairs
No "In" with The Players
God has No Proud Position
And Many Naysayers!

BIG PROBLEM!!

God IS The Creator
Of both Man and The Earth
And With That Prominent Standing
Man's Common Sense Shows Dearth
And
Faithful Christians Cannot Join Them
In their Folly and their Mirth!

The Living God IS The Ruler
His Will IS The PROTECTED Way
And no matter what Man Says or Does
Almighty God Holds Wins The Great Day!

Saying God Is Not Really God 
Doesn't Make It The Truth, and
Denying God His Sovereignty 
Does Not Remove The Attachment nor 
The Creator's Glue!

Educated Man May Lie All He Wants
Denying All The Evidence True
Twisting The Truth
Making Truth Turn Corners
Making Truth Skin Cuffins and
Coloring The Truth
But
At The End  
At The Judgment
His Previous Lack of Repentance
Is Going to Eternally Destroy
The Unrepentant Lie Is Truth Crew!

Fool and Die Religion!






Factory Faith Kills!
Faith Of and In King Jesus 
Stills The Storms 
and 
The Seeking Heart Fills!


At the Religiosity Factory
Knowledge of The Truth is Proscribed
By Minds in The Hive
Of Him Who Wears The Light as Disguise.

In The Knowledge Vacuum
No one Designated as Faithful
Is Permitted to Know ... For Certain Sure
That Jesus Christ - The Door
Made Public - and Free - for Those Seeking The Peaceful Shore
Sacrifice Standard, Paid-in-Full
Lamb's Blood Level
Salvation Vouchers!

Salvation Is Free To Anyone Who Will Believe on The Glorious Name!

The Masters of The Unique Verse
Those Liars who After Sin Constantly Do Thirst
Grabbing Hold of The Lie
That 
Lucifer Satan and Jesus Christ are Power-Reversed
Sell A Bill of False Goods to Those who would in Their Lives
Let The Working of The True Holy Spirit
 Reverse The Death Curse!

The Love of The Holy God is Denied
The Efficacy of The Death of Christ is Belied
The Need of Confession and Repentance is Circumscribed
The Fact of The Need to Accept God's Free Grace is - like shrimp - Butterflied
In order for Certain Damnation and Calculated Destruction
At The Appointed Time 
May Collide!

The Holy and
The Profane
The Rich and
The Poor
The Foolish and
The Wise
The Sinner and
The Saint
The Weak and
The Strong
All Need to Think Hard and Look Long for
Jesus Christ - The Conquering King - is Coming Down!

Trust God's Truth or
Trust Satan's Lie
Jesus Christ does not sell
Pie in The Sky
But Satan, Old Roaring Lion de Liar, Satan
Is Desirous that You with him Should Eternally Die!

So Get Out of The Religiosity Manufactured Bible Knowledge Factory
Repair to Jesus Christ
Who Died for Us on Mount Calvary!
No Truth or Dare Picking of Game Categories!
No Need to Use 
Amulet 
Phylacteries
Disguise
Nor Spies
To Know that God
Cannot Fail nor Tell Lies!

Reach Out
Call Out
To Jesus Christ
Otherwise
You will Ball Out
At Your Eternal Demise
When The King from Zion
Bursts The Skies
As All Heaven Rides
Victoriously
To Claim Christ's Faithful
Glorified Bride!


Don't be A Factory Faith Fool!

Get Out King James' Bible School Chapter Book
Map and Directory
and 
Prayerfully Read 
John 3:16 and, indeed Verse 17
Then 
1 John Chapter 5
(Again Read Verses 11-13... Slowly)
Then ... Bow your head in Prayer
And Give God All Glory, Honor and Praise!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Love Jesus Christ!




In The Realm of Darkness
The Son Light is Decidedly Lacking
The Night is Relentlessly Attacking
Fear is Oft' Hijacking 
and
Conscience is Always for Vacation Packing!

We MUST The Realm Of Darkness Hate
We MUST let Jesus Christ in at The Longing Heart's Gate
We MUST Resist Satan's Customized Bait 
or
We WILL Suffer his Written-In-Blood Fate!

Honor Almighty God!
Love Jesus Christ - He IS The Lord!
Give Assent to The Comforter's Peace Accord
and
At The Last
Avoid Eternal Death's Fjord!









SIN & DEATH CO$T$!

JESUS' FAITH & LOVE PAYS!

Nothing New + Prayer: I Give You Praise!



There is Nothing New under The Sun!
There is a Season for Everything - Even Fun!
God Cannot Change - He's The King of Love
Jesus Shed His Blood for Me - I am His Beloved!

Peace
Understanding
Mercy and Grace
Etched in Jesus' Heart
On His Skin
In His Face
Love for Those Fallen
His Creatures - The Disgraced
Beloved of The Master
To Save from That Eternal Death
He though Sinless 
Mortal Death - and Spiritual Separation from His Father - did Taste!

"What Wondrous Love!" declares My Soul
When on His Cross
In My Sin He Himself Enrobed
Going into The Dark Estate I should have Known
His Act of Compassion
Laid Me - CLEAN - before The Eternal Father's Throne!


** PRAYER **

My Father - God
My Savior - Friend
My Comfort - The Spirit
Until This Journey Ends
I Give You Praise 
for
My Blessings
My Help
My Healing
Today and Tomorrow
and
Whenever I Pray!
Until Your Eternity
 I Wondrously Survey 
Until Your Heavenly Home
I Blissfully Share
Prepare My Heart and Uplift
Bind Up My Spirit from Sin to Depart
Help Me Be Obedient
Help Me Be Faithful Always to Pray
Help Me Cling to Your Way-marks
So That I Can't Stumble In The Dark!
I Love You, Dear Lord!
AMEN
