Get On Board!

Two Hail Mary's
A Chicken And A Goose!
Men Worship God
AND
Still They Permit Satan In Their Lives
To Run 'Bout Hog Wild And Jack Rabbit Loose!

God's Has No Short Hands
AND 
He Doesn't Pad Heaven's Books
AND 
Everything That We Do And Say
Is Faithfully Written Down In The Record Books!

God's Calls To Repentance
AND 
His Offers Of Forgiveness
Are Noted Through And Through
AND 
If Constantly Slighted
AND  
Rejected, Sad To Say
One Day
Almighty God Will Reject Us
AND 
For Our Own Sins
We Will Have Dearly To Pay!

Please
Do Not Take God's Mercy And Grace For Granted!
Do Not Live As You Like!
Do Not Trust Your Salvation Until Tomorrow
For You May Die On Your Ride Tonight!

God Is Longsuffering
But Not Infinitely So
For
Man's Cup Of Blessing Runs Over
BUT
His Cup Of Iniquity
Uh! Uh!
Not So!

Blind Eyes May Hear!
Deaf Ears Can't See!
Willing Heart Is Humble
AND
Greedy Heart Lives Contentiously!

Earthly Peace Passes!
God's Peace Passes Understanding!
Satan Is A Facing Liar
AND
Retribution Has An Appointment Of Long Standing!

Greed For Gain
Makes Sin Stick 
AND
Permanently Stain
Unless
AND
Until
We Recognize Our Peril
AND
Invite Jesus Christ To Break The Chain!

Let Us Look Up To Jesus
Who Did Lycifer Lucifer Cast Down!
Let Us Let Jesus
Carry Us
To Heaven In The Glorying Throng!

There Is No Need To Worry!
There Is No Need To Fret!
Jesus  Will Receive All That The Father Gives Him
AND
He Will Never Cast One Out! 
- There Is No Need To Bet!

Believe In Jesus Christ
AND 
Your Blessing Receive
So That No Man 
Your Soul May Deceive
For
Jesus Is Surely Returning
AND
Soon
The Gospel Train
For Heaven Will Leave!

All Aboard!

All Aboard!

Cut The Cord To The World Of Sin

And

Catch The Gospel Train!

All Aboard!

All Aboard!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH : The Day Is Coming ...! + Prayer: Lord, I Am A Pilgrim

In The Journey
On The Doomed Ship
Bearing Jesus Christ's Apostle
Paul
Was A Roll Call
Of Mankind
That Speaks
To The Life Position
Of Humankind All!

In Life
There Be Sailors
Soldiers
AND
Passengers
AND
Prisoners, Too!
Tell Me, If You Can
Which One Are You?

Sailors - Just Like Ships
Ride The Waves Of Life's Sea
In High Crests
Through Deep Troughs
Tumbled And Tossed
Sometimes Becalmed
Sometimes Resident
For A Moment
Upon Some Foreign Shore
Where Strange Is Exciting
Where Fun times Are Fast
Where Wrong Move May Mean Incarceration
Until The Company Lawyer
Pays
For A Go Home Free Pass!

Some Men Are Soldiers
Battling Ever In Some War
Fighting The Elements
The Enemy Known Unknown
AND
The Enemy Comfortably Resident 
Inside Of All Men!
These Soldiers Are Committed
Trained
Loyal -  'Tis True
BUT
Lest You Forget
Even Among Loyal Soldiers
There Are Traitors Not A Few!

Then There Are Prisoners
Who May Have Been
Sailors
Or Soldiers
Soldiering Sailors
Or Sailoring Soldiers
Men And Women
Just Like Me And Like You
Who
True And Faithful To Their Calling
Suffer An Enemy Broadside!
Freedom Is Restricted!
Freedom Is Denied!
For Some
They Are Caught In Condemnation's 
Flowing Tide
Knowing
That E'er The Next Sunrise
The World Will Celebrate Their Demise!

And, Then ...

There Are The Passengers
On The Cruise Ship Of Life
Living In The Lap Of Luxury
Enjoying The Parties
Insulated
From Life's Strife!
They Eat Of The Earth's Bounty!
They Drink Of Sweet Nectars' Delights!
Their Burden Is Acquisition Of The Best
Entertainment
Apparel
Silver
AND
Gold
With No Thought Or Concern For
The Plight Of The Poor!

In This Broad Scenario
There Be No Absolutes
For
The Spirit Of God
Flows
Among Men
This Is The Truth!

All Start With Known Demerits
For All Have
The Sinner Mien
BUT
There Be Those
The Called
The Few
The Chosen
Who Have Answered The Call To Light
AND
Have Taken The Position
To Be To And Of
The Lord Christ
A Bright And Shining Light
Willing
Ready
Able For Truth To Valiantly Fight!

I Have Been
A Passenger
AND
A Sailor
AND
Now A Soldier
AND
A Prisoner Of God
BUT
I Know The Day Is Coming
If Life Be Spared
AND
Almighty God Allows
That I Shall Be Evil Man's Prisoner
Because Of
The Machinations Of The Furious Fiend
Satan
The Enemy Of The Living Eternal God!

I Seek To Be A Simple Soldier!
No Super Soldering For Me!
I Seek To Be Captive To Jesus
AND
To Walk Before Him
In All Purposeful Humility!

I Choose To Believe God Is Faithful
AND
That In The Fulness Of Time
I Will Rescued Be
AND
I Expect
Fully To Be Rewarded Of God
So
I Will Not Serve Him
With The Minimalist Mentality!

Jesus Christ Gave His All
AND
I Accept On My Life
His Call!
By God's Grace
I Am Off The Passenger Manifest
AND
See
In The Shortening Distance
Zion Hill's Beckoning Crest!

My Back
May Be Breaking
BUT
My Faith Is Not Shaking!
My Eyes May Be Blind
BUT
My Heart Is To Its Living God
Lovingly Inclined!

My Feet May Be Weary!
My Shoulders May Be Sore
BUT
My Head Is Safely Helmeted
And I Know ...

In Jesus' Name

God Will Receive Me

At The Pearl Gate Door!

PRAYER:

Father,

I Am Pilgrim In This World Of Sin

And I

- By The Holy Spirit -

Choose No Longer Its Evil Ways

To Partake In!

Have Mercy, I Beseech Thee

And

In Jesus Christ's Faith

Lock Me In

So That I Will Not

On Satan's Deceptions Trip

And

To Hell Headlong

Fall In!

Guide, Lord

The Faithful Home

Safely Along The Narrow Way!

Help Us To Listen

And

Faithfully Do All That You Say!

Take Us Under The Shelter Of Your Wings

And

Help Us Not To Give Countenance To

The Worship Of Golden Calves

And

Other Putrid Things!

Bless Us

And Keep Us

And

Protect Us, I Pray

And

In The Day Of Dawning

Take Us All To Dwell With You

Forevermore

As Sure Citizens

In The Realm Called Glorious

And

Heavenly

The Land Of Delight

Where Peace Is Eternal

And

There Is No Night!

We Love You, Lord

And

Bless You For Your Blessings Upon Us!

In Jesus Christ's Holy Name

We Pray And Stand!

AMEN.

HAPPY SABBATH: Liberty In Jesus Christ

People Of God
Look Around You!
Don't You See False Prophets Everywhere?
Don't You Know That They Are Here To Mislead You
AND
Of The Living God They Have No Fear?

Yon Minister Teaches
That Man's Soul Is Immortal!
Over There The Minister Teaches
God Must Your Willful Unrepented Of Sin
Forgive!
Over Yonder The Minister Preaches
That He Can Forgive Your Sin
AND
That Right Living Is An Impossibility
For Human Beings Like Him!

Two Streets Over
The Preacher Says
Sin Is Not Sin If You Love The Lord!
Next Door To Him
The Teacher Preaches That
We Can Sin But
We Must Pay God For A Forgiveness Award!
AND
The Big Man With The Mega Massive Church
Up On The Hill
Says That God Must Save You
Because A Sinner Is What He Created You To Be 
AND
He Can't Leave You In The Lurch!

And, Then ...

There Are Those Who Maliciously Choose To Teach
Another Christ
Another Gospel
Another Eternal Life
Another Hope
Another Way To Pray
AND
All Things To Which Prosperity Leads The Way!

BUT ...

Take Heed!
Let No Man Deceive You!
God Is Not Mocked!
Man Does Not Wind God's Not-A-Clock!
God Keeps His Own Records!
God's Word Is Sacrosanct
AND
Doing The Work Of The Devil Means
Those Who Walk Contrary 
Will By Fire And Brimstone
Be With Malice Severely Spanked!

God's Holy Spirit-Converted
Faithful
Obedient
Steadfast
Enduring People
Cannot Be Deceived
By Blighters On Satan's Dole!
They Cannot Be Wrecked Like Ships On
The Unexpected Shoal
Nor 
Can They Ever Be Diverted From Achieving
The Promised Heavenly Goal!

People Of God
I Beseech You To
Be Diligent
AND
Read Your King James Bible
AND
Constantly 
Fervently Pray!
Please Ask The Holy Spirit For Guidance
AND
Walk In Faith That Holds No Doubt
Along The Long 
Narrow 
AND
Tested
Holy Way!

Look Not Right
Nor Left!
Look Up
AND
Look Straight
At The Son
AND
From Licensed Evil Doers
Don't Just Walk 
BUT
Cut And Run!

Know Of A Surety That
Your Destruction
Is A Satanic Goal!
That Your Salvation
Has Been Bought
BUT
Can't Be Sold!
Your Will Given Over To God
Is Secure In Him
AND
There's Nothing That Satan
Can Wrest Away 
From Jesus Christ The King!

Don't Play Bingo
Nor Lotto
Nor Bet On A Horse!
Don't Consult Ouija Boards
Familiar Spirits
Nor Ghosts Made Of Colored Gas!
Trust In Him
Whose Heart Is Set On You
AND
Love Him Who Knows You Better
Than You Know You!

Liberty 
In Jesus Christ The Lord
Is Good For Eternity!
Liberty By Mammon 
Is A Thing That Will Always Pass!
Give To God His Glory!
He Is The First 
AND
He Is Last
The Alpha And Omega
On Whom
A Safe Lot For Eternal Life
Is Perfectly Cast!

Let Your Faith

Become Fire

To Consume You!

GIVING: Thanks!

I Could Live In The Elements!

I Could Live Out To Sea!

I Could Walk With That Damned Devil

AND

I Could Be Dead

Spiritually!

I Could Be Wise In My Own Eyes!

I Could Be Living Lavish By Lies!

I Could Be Working For Free For The Devil

AND

I Could Be Energetically

Denying Jesus Christ!

I Could Be Dancing With The Devil

I Could Have Shoes and No Legs

I Could Have Food But No Water

AND

I Could Be On The Street Corner Doing A Beg!

I Could Be On A Known Death Bed!

I Could Not Have Two Nickles To Rub Together

To Make A Thin Dime!

I Could Be Walking Forward Looking Backward

AND

Through Lack Of Faith

Be Ultimately Unable

To Cross The Separating Line!

I Could Be A Willing Sinner

I Could Be A Fake Saint

I Could Be Building Falling Bridges

AND

I Could Be A Self-Righteous Miscreant!

BUT ...

By God's Great Grace

AND

Jesus Christ's Sacrifice

AND

The Blessing

That Permitted Me

To Hear

AND

Heed

The Holy Spirit's Call

I Can

Give Heartfelt Thanks

Unto My Father In Heaven

By Whose Mercy

Today

I Have

Stomach-Filling Grub!

I Have Clean Water To Quench My Thirst!

I Have A Solid Roof Over My Head!

I Have Whole Shoes Upon My Two Able Feet

AND

A Clean Bed Upon Which I May Lie 

Without Fear Or Dread!

I Have Friends

AND

Family To Love Me!

I Have Faithful Friends

In The Body Of Jesus Christ!

I Have Work To Challenge My Mind

AND

I Have No Reason To Ever Behave

Like A Wild Horse's Behind!

I Am In Good Health

Which Is - Indeed - Great Wealth!

I Pray

AND

I Proselytize

AND

God Willing

No Matter How Much Christian-Killing

My Faith Will Never Be Placed

On An Old-Glory Shelf

AND

For This All

Almighty God Who Does

For Now

The Winds Of Strife Restrain

I Give You Thanks

With A Grateful Heart

Today

AND

I Beseech You

Please

Help Me To Never

Over Trivialities

Again

To Complain

AND

No Matter How Much I'm Goaded

Help Me To Never Jesus Christ's Holy Name

Profane!

Lord,

I Give You Praise

AND

I Give You Thanks

For

I Am Truly Blessed!

AMEN.

ROAD TO PERDITION : Pride + PRAYER: Lord, Teach Me To Be Humble

All False Gods
Are Brittle
AND
Of Time
A Total Waste!
Wood
Plaster
Stone
Paper
Silver
Or Gold
They Are All The Same
AND
Worshipping Them
Makes The Worshipper As One Insane
For An Inanimate Object
Cannot Help A Person
Nor Can It One's Origin
Nor Destination
Explain!

A Man Who Has A Man
As His God
Is Batting Zero
In The Eyes Of The Creator God!
Likewise The Person
Who Worships Self
Houses
Lands
Access And Prominence
Is A Fool
For It Is Readily Apparent
That Lying Satan
Over Such A One
Holds Total Dominance!

What Is Man Profited
If He Gains The Whole World
AND
Loses His Own Soul?
Where Is The Blessing
In The Blessing Gained
Outside Of Heaven's Fold?

Where Is The Soul's Salvation
Where The Soul Knows Not
The Living God
But Runs With The Big Dogs
AND
Plays Footsie With Satan
The Vividly Exposed Fraud?!

Rich In Goods!
Burdened With Trespasses!
Wasted By Iniquity
Living To Indulge In Abominable Practices
AND
Refusing
Through False Pride
To Ask The Living God
In Mercy
To Have Pity!
Such Is The Plight
Of Those Who Against
The Holy Spirit Fight
Preferring
To Sink Into
The Dank Darkness Of Gross Sin
- Unforgiven -
Rather Than To Bend
Bow
AND
Humble The Self
Before Its Savior
AND
Consciously Willing To Die
So As Not To Admit:

Oh, God In Heaven
I Know Not The Way
I Really Need You And That Is No Lie
So, Help Me, I Pray!

Lucifer Pretended To Be Good
Expressing Concern For The Residents Of Heaven!
Pride Made Lucifer Ugly
AND
Pride Cost Lucifer
An Eternal Home In Heaven
AND
Pride Will Cost Erring Man
A Home Prepared By Christ
- Especially For Him Whom He Loves -
In Highest Heaven!

Pride Makes Men 
Vicious And Mean
AND
Shows That Their  Hearts Are Unclean
AND
Their Willingness To Do Evil
Is By All Observers Plainly Seen!

Live, Oh, Man Foolish!
Why Would You Permit Searing Guilt
Bolstered By Unremitting Pride
To Cause You
Eternally To Die?
Submit Yourself To God!
Resist The Devil!
Acknowledge To Almighty God
That You Are A Mere Man
- Grossly Weak -
AND
Hold Nothing Back
From Him Who 
- Alone -
Your Dying Soul's Salvation Seeks!

Sink Your False Pride!
Speak To The Living God 
For In Him You May Freely Confide!
The Savior Is For You
AND
Waiting From You To Hear
So, Swallow The Fool's Pride
AND
Seek To Have Your Soul Saved
AND
Be No More Satan's Slave!

Residing Under The Agency Of The Holy Spirit
Supremely Satisfied
Should Be Your Soul's Sole Goal
So Choose, Therefore
In Jesus Christ To Live
For There's No Valid Reason Now
For You To Die With A Cold Heart 
AND
In The Great Day 
Forever Die
As One No Longer Presumptuous And Bold!

Jesus Saves From Sin
So Put The Idol Down!
Cast False Pride To The Ground
AND
An Authentic Victory Win!

PRAYER:

Heavenly Father,

I Come Before You As A Child

Often Prideful

And

Regularly Foolish

But, I Don't That Way Want To Die!

Have Mercy Upon Me!

Please Forgive Me, I Pray

And

Teach Me To Be Humble

And

Help Me To Ever Walk 

Before You That Way!

Hear My Cry

And Answer

According To Your Will

And In Your Way

In Jesus' Holy Name I Plead!

AMEN.

*********

The Real Difference

Between

Apparent Goodness

AND

Genuine Goodness

Is What Each Receives

In Their Ultimate

God-Given Reward!

WISDOM: Sinning Is No Delight!

He Who Made Us
Will Show Us No Mercy
AND
He Who Formed Us
Will Show Us No Favor
AND
All This Will Happen
In The Raining Down Of The Seven Last Plagues
If We Don't Choose In Advance
To Give Jesus Christ
In Our Hearts
Pride Of Place!

Mercy Is Currently Available
AND
Grace Is Still Available, Too
BUT
In The Day That Christ's Intercession
For Mankind Does Cease
All Self-Appointed
For Damnation
Will Not Be Singing Gleefully!

Now Is The Accepted Time!
Now Is The Day Of Grace!
Now Is The Time To Accept Salvation
AND
Now Is The Time To Tell Satan
Get Out Of Your Face!

Tomorrow Is Not To Man Promised!
Tomorrow's Sun May Never Rise!
Tomorrow's Grass Must Grow Today
AND
We Can't Go To Glory Tomorrow
If We Don't Do Today
The Will Of The Risen Reigning Christ!

By Wisdom
Build Your House On The Rock!
By Understanding Let Your Faith Be Established!
By Knowledge
Fill Your Heart With Prized And Precious Promises
AND
With Conviction
Hold To Him Who Your Condemnation
On That Vile Cross Took
As Does Says That Holy Good Book!

No Man
Can Serve God AND The Devil!
No Man
Can Be A Good Christian AND A Crook!
No Man
Can Take The Prerogatives
Of God Unto Himself
AND
Expect The Almighty God To Say:

Welcome, Friend!

Welcome, Good Servant Of Mine!

You For Me Did Your Very Best

So Enter My Joy

And Rest

With My Blessed!

We May Act AND Walk Holy
In Our Very Own Sight!
We May Walk Holy In The Day
AND
Play With Satan In Close Quarters
AND
In The Dark Of The Night!
We May Pretend To Ourselves
That Constant Sinning Is A Fine Delight
BUT
In God's Holy Sight
We Are Headed For Permanent Separation
From God
Into Eternal Night
Never To Enjoy 
The Glorious Son's Living Light!

That Is A Crying Shame!

God Is Good!
God Is Great!
Get Ready Now!
It Is Not Yet Too Late!
Please Commit Your Way
To Jesus Christ Our Savior
Before Offers Of Mercy Cease
AND
Heaven As A Scroll Rolls Back
AND
The Faithful Living
AND
The Risen Faithful Rise Up To Glory
In Peace And Joy
To With The Conquering King
Forever Be!

Clocks Run Forward!

Clocks Don't Turn Back!

Satan Is The Liar

AND

Will Any Human Attack

So

Protect Yourself

By Walking With The Living God!
