False Gods Aren't True And Imitation Gods Aren't Real And Neither To The Life Adds Substance But Substance They Will Take Away! Truth Needs No Spin But Lie Is Always In Need Of Polish And Spinning A Polished Lie To Manufacture Truth Shows That We Are Of The Clan Called Foolish! A Fool And His Money Are Well Spent! A Wise Man Never Goes Where He Is Not Sent And He Is Never A Fool For To Him Money Is Solely To Be Used As A Tool! Common Sense Is Not A Common Thing And A Sad Bird Will Not A Happy Song Sing! Night Needs A Light And Faith Depends Not A Sight And To Gain Victory In Jesus Is The Christian's Willing Fight! Reward Is Not Given For Work Flawed And Cats Can't Scratch Without Claws! Beauty Does Not Say Brain And Missing Wind Can't Spin A Weather Vane And Painting A Leopard Won't Make Him A Tame House Pet On A Dog Chain! Jesus Christ Willingly Died To Save Men! Devouring Satan Walks About Like A Lion Roaring! Satan's Roar Rattles Man To The Core! Jesus Christ's Call Points Purchased Man To The Open Door But Neither One Can Force Man's Decision Of That You Can Be Sure! Peace Is Like A Calmly Flowing River! War Is Like The Hurricane-Buffeted Sea! Hope Is Like Oil On Water And Everlasting Help Comes From Him Who Created Humanity! Dishonoring God Brings Disaster And Ultimately - Unrepented - Eternal Death! Jesus Christ Is Not Our Foe! He Placed The Covenant - The Beautiful Rainbow And He Is Coming For His People This, Too, Is Sure AND There Will Be An Unimaginable Heavenly Pyrotechnic Show! Remember That Satan Is The Black Jaundiced Liar But That Jesus Christ Is Faithful And Just And Our Faith In Him Is A Critical Must! Soon Satan Will Be Under Our Feet Having By The Eternal God Been Consumed So Let's Not Over His Petty Annoyances In Our Lives Lived For Christ Fret And Fuss!
An Unbelieving Man Is Like A Car On Hub Caps Driven! AND A Believing Man Is As The Rain Upon The Earth By Our Heavenly Father Lovingly Given! The Unbelieving May Seemingly Be Temporally Blessed With Backpacks Of The Earth's Bounties By Carrying The Unwieldy Weight Of Sin Upon His Chest! His Few Troubles Seem Surmountable He Appears To Live The Life Of The Blessed AND He Intimates That He IS The Darling Of God AND Yet ... At Night He Get's Neither Peace Nor Sweet Rest! By Contrast The Faithful Believing Oft' Seem To The World To Be Cursed! There Is Evil Surmising Against Them AND Their Temporal Progress Seems To Always Be In Reverse! To Outsiders Their Prosperity Seems Blighted! They Don't Glory In Things As Others Do BUT They Always Seem To Be Satisfied AND (Shock) Happy To Boot! They Don't Walk Around Uttering Popular Mantras Boasting Of Living On Ascended Bright Plains AND They Don't Take Pleasure In Things Trivial Speaking Loftily Like Those By Their Own Hand Self-Made! The Believing Faithful Friends Of The Holy God Of Heaven Bow Humbly Before Jesus Christ Their Lord Who Paid For Their Redemption So That They Won't Perish In The Raging Sin Flood! They Recognize Their Dying Condition They Know That They Own Nothing By Which Of Themselves They May Be Saved AND They Believe The Words Of Their Master AND WILLINGLY CHOOSE By Perfect Love To Be Wholly Enslaved! They Recognize That Their Life Is As A Crucible! They Know That They Are Not Their Own! Their Trials Are For The Perfecting Of Their Character AND They Trust Their Maker Savior Redeemer To Get Them Safely To The Heavenly Home! They Know Not To Hold Tightly To Things Perishable! They Know That Prayer Is The Royal Telephone! They Know That Faith In Jesus Christ Brings Victory AND They Know That With Jesus Christ The Shepherd They Do Not Ever Walk This Earth Alone! They Confess AND Repent Of Known Sins To The Father! They Thrive In Their Faith In The Lord Jesus Christ! They Trust In Their Lord For Their Daily Provision AND Rest In Peace And Safety At Night! The Faithful Know That Those Who Will Reach Heaven That Celestial City Which Will Be Their Eternal Home That They Must Be Purged Of Self AND Of Love Of Corruptible Things AND Must Have No Truck With The Fraud! They Know That They Must Be Molded In Character Like Christ Jesus AND They Must Daily Resist Rebuke AND Reject Satan AND All Known Demonic Device! They Lean On The Lord! They Heed The Spirit's Call! They Permit Themselves To Be Influenced For Good By Holy Angels AND Humbly Reverently Bow Before The All-Seeing All-Knowing Ever Present Always Available Holy God! Faith Is Their Victory! Hope Is Their Holding Chain! Grace And Mercy Are Their Prized Shackles AND Love Of The Lord Christ Is Their Controlling Reign! Their Lives Are Not Measured By Bank Balance! Their Success Is Not Measured By Earthly Gain! Their High Elevation Is Not Determined By Proximity To Ungodly Men AND Their Peace Is Not Marred By Earthly Mayhem! Their Eyes Are Gazing Toward Heaven Even Though Their Feet Be Fixed Upon The Earth! Their Hands Are In The Hands Of Jesus Christ AND Earthly Failures Don't Put Their Faith Into Automatic Reverse! We - Faithful Followers - Trust Our Heavenly Father! We - Having Reasoned With Him - Believe AND Trust Him To Honor His Holy Word! We Hold To The Covenant That Says There Is A Prepared Home For Us In The Glorious Kingdom AND Summarily Reject The Machinations Of Wilful Fraud! We Know Our God Is The One Faithful! The Healer! The Sealer! The Helper! The Hope! The Only Friend True AND We Desire To Attain The Promise AND Receive The White Robe The Gold Crown The New Name The Victor's Palm AND The Incorruptible Immortality, Too! So ... Please Don't Pity Us For Lack Of Positions AND Possessions! We Do Not Envy You! We Desire Only What Jesus Christ Has For Us AND We Pray! How We Pray! That You Would Receive Jesus Christ Who Has A Personal Blessing Of Provision AND Heavenly Possessions Waiting Just For You!
Almighty God's Mercy Walks A Thorny Path Slighted By Puffed-Up Men Who Sniff AND Spit When She Does Pass! Uncaring They Dismiss Her! Ignorant By Will From Her They Look Away Blissfully Unaware Uncaring That There Is The Day Coming When For What Was Available Free They Would With Their Sordid Lives Unfailingly Pay! Problem Is Mercy Cannot Be Begged Bought Bartered Nor Sold! Mercy Is Non-Negotiable! Mercy Is Not A Hot Beverage Sold Cold! Mercy Has Grace Attached! Grace Has Abiding Love! The Abiding Love Of A Dear Savior In Whose Heart We Fit Like Customized Gloves! Mercy Wears A Simple Dress Known As Salvation From The Eternal God With Perfect Shoes Called Confession And Repentance Of Sin AND The Merits Of Jesus Christ Take Hold! In Mercy's Hands Are Forgiveness AND Blessing! The Entreaty In Her Loving Eyes Say: "Beloved Sinner Come Home!" AND In Her Voice Is The Call To Holy Communion AND The Request To Accept God's Gifts With Blessed Hope And Humility AND Not To Live A Life Of Gross Futility! BUT ... Sorrowful Is Her Walk Among Men No Matter Their Ages AND Nor Matter Their Stages! Bitter Is The Taste Crude Men Leave In Her Mouth! Burning Are Her Ears From Crass Imprecation AND Blood-Red Her Eyes From Innumerable Shed Tears! Dear Ones, Draw Near AND Hear Her Gentle Voice Calling! Draw Near - There Is No Need For Fear! Draw Near For He Who Sends Her Is Waiting To Accept Those Who Answer Her Quiet Calls Into His All-Encompassing Care! Take Heed AND Take A Moment To Remember The People Of Sodom And Gomorrah Of Biblical Fame And Note That Idleness Fulness Of Bread Greed For Gain In A Licentious Domain Caused All To Perish In Fiery Conflagration Because Self Refused Mercy AND Her Loving Restraints! God's Mercy Once Accepted Has Holds On What Once Wilful Men Called Goals! Willing Acceptance Of God's Mercy Makes Men From Sinning Turn Away Cold! Imbibing Mercy Renders One Able To Walk Upright AND Clean Changing Hateful Dispositions AND Righting The One Once Vulgar And Obscene AND Before God Rendering The Enemy Into A Friend In Whose Ways God Is Well Pleased! Mercy Is Our Friend! Don't Despise Her, I Plead! Take Hold Upon Mercy AND Look Forward To Growing A Bountiful Crop From The Seed Of The Fruit Of The Holy Spirit AND Know Of A Truth That Satan And His Minions Won't You From Getting To Heaven Be Able To Stop!
"There's No Victory Over Sin!" Is A Popular Saying AND A Thing That Is A Lie For It Defies The Living Word Of Almighty God Ergo It's Demon-Inspired AND - Ultimately - A Desperate Man'sCry! "There's Victory In Jesus!" Is Not A Thing! It Is The Gospel Truth AND All Who Call On The Master Will See AND Know That It Is Vital In Order To Gain Heaven AND Its Eternal Youth! Let Not Vain Words Polished Suits AND Notes Uncanny Push You Into Perdition With The One Who Got Kicked Out Of Heaven Upon His Rancid Fanny! Listen To AND Believe In The Living Word AND Jesus Christ The Righteous Quickly Obey For He Bought You By Paying Your Full Price So That You Can Tell The Devil That He Is A Filthy Liar AND That You Know God AND Will Never By God's Grace Taste Condemnation's Fire:
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!
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!
