HAPPY SABBATH + Professors Professing Profession Not In Their Possession!





I Professed Religion
AND
Religion Placed Me In A Church
BUT
- Truth Be Told -
My Character Shows
If 
I'm To Christ
Connected Or ... Not
AND
Determines Which Residence
- For Eternity -
I Deserve!

Church-Character
Or
Christ-Connected
Potato Tomato
Vegetable Fruit
I Say The Prayers!
I Give The Offerings!
I Pay The Tithes! - God Owes Me!
I Did Not Enter A Crap Shoot
So
When I Die - I Fly!

Hold Up, Big Man!
You Sound Like You And God Does Pitch Marbles!
You Must Be Drunk
For
You Are Beside Your Self!

The Only Thing God "Owes" You
FOR YOUR SINSIs A Six By Nine Grave
AND
At The End Of Time
A Permanent Bath
In The Fire And Brimstone Lake!
Are You Working For The Fake?!

But, Wait Though!
Why You Had To Go There?
You Can't Tek A Joke?
Your Sense Of Humor 'Pon A Lunch Break?!

I Have No Sense Of Humor
When It Comes To My Soul
AND
Neither Should You
IF
Highest Heaven 
- With The Lord Jesus Christ -
Is Your Goal!

I Used To Be Flippant
In Matters Of Faith!
Character Was An Alphabet Letter
AND
Lunch Was The Time For Grace!

Mercy Was An Old Slave
AND
Love Drove A Bank's Truck
AND
Jesus Was That Spanish Man
Who At The Store Sold Brooklax!

But ...

As Fate ...
Sorry ...
As The Lord Would Have It
I Met The Real Jesus
- Last Name Christ -
The Son Of The Father
Who Broke Satan's Trick Dice
AND
I Do Not Fear To Tell You
That I Have Been Changed
For
I Took Of Christ's Salvation
For A Repentance 
AND
Confession Exchange!

Sure You Did!

Brother, You Make Keep Your Skepticism
For
What I Say Is True!
Jesus Christ Set Me
On The Right Path Straight
AND
If You Let Him
He'll Give You A Fix-up, Too!

Jesus Took All The Garbage I Had!
He Forgave Me My Sin!
He Gave Me Free Grace
AND
True Mercy
AND
Set Aside For Me
In Heaven
- God's Home -
A Personally-Prepared Place!

I Have Invited The Holy Spirit
To Abide Within Me
AND
Though Facing Fierce Opposition
I Am Letting The Holy Spirit Have His Way
AND
Jesus Christ's Character
Is Being Revealed In Me!

I Now Have A Teachable Spirit!
I Approach The Living God As Would A Child
ANDI Am Determined
In The Tents Of Wickedness
Nevermore To Abide!

God Is Good All The Time!
All The Time
- Thank God -
God Is Good
Or I Would Not Be Here
To Tell You How I
In The Faith Of Jesus
With The Comfort Of The Holy Spirit
AND
Under The Protection Of The Holy Angels
The Devil Withstood!

There Have Been Good Days
Bad Days
AND 
Days Never Likely To Be Called Best
BUT
Thank God For Jesus
AND
His Saving Grace
I Will Never The Stench Of Hell Ingest!

Christ In Me
IS
My Hope For Glory
For
I, Humbled
Believe The Gospel Story!

I No Longer Play Church
Nor Practice Feel-Good Religion
For
The Oracles Of God
The Word Of Truth Does Proclaim
AND IHaving For Myself Read It
AND
Am Reading It
Will No Longer The Name Of God
Profane!

Please, I Beseech You
Make Christ Your True Portion
AND
Never Again
By Deliberation
Or Jest
His Holy Name Disdain!

I'm Sorry!
Dear Lord,
I Am Sorry!
Please Forgive Me My Sin
And Make Me Anew!

Please Remove My Stain
And Erase My Record
The Evidence Of My Shame
For
In The Name Of Jesus
I Humbly, Humbly, Plead!
AMEN.

DEVELOPING IN SIN: Arrested Development

I Met Salvation
On The Way
To Committing Sin
AND
I Met Comeuppance
On The Road To
That's Not The Way To Walk In!

I Had Walked Right
In My Own Sight
Leaning
Unto My Own Understanding
AND
I Paid Homage To
Do What Thou Wilt
AND
Soon Found Out That
My Soul Was Fair To Dying!

I Was Vain!
I Was Petty
AND
Pretty Arrogant 'Tis True
BUT
I Was No Different
From Harry Sally And Lou-Lou
Who
Talk Right
Live Wrong
Speak Lovingly Of The Lord
AND
Drink Of Life
With That Vile One
Gone Wrong
Who Works For The Very Devil
While Strenuously Conducting The Sanctuary Choir
At The Quarterly Service Of Song!

It's Amazing When You Don't Eat Pork
BUT
You Sell Your Pigs
To Fine Market
When You See Ada
Pushing Bread-Cart
AND
Fallen From Grace
Stepping High
Like Nothing Wrong
With Her Hand In
I Got This' Right Side Back Pocket
AND
Insult To Injury
You, Yourself, Realize
That Sam Couchie And The Duppy Doomed
Because
The Sermons Long Preached At Fancy Church
Was Lamb's Milk
Laced
With Magic Mushroom!

Well, Well, Well!
What A Fine Pass
We Have Arrived At
Going Real Fast
Forward
In A Vehicle
Apparently
With No Brakes
Or Reverse
BECAUSE
Brother Fuzzy
Sister Squeeze
AND
Hold Me Tight
Liked To Frequent Jezebel's Amply Stocked
To Overflowing
Spiritual Fornication Table
Which Always Sent Out Doggie Bags
To Regulars' Friends
Family
AND
Of Course
All The Members Of The Members' Churches
Whether In The Church Physical
On Video, Internet
Radio Or Cable!

Wait A Minute!
I Thought We Talking 'bout You?!

We Were
AND
We Are!
It Is All Pertinent!

Do You Know
How Far The Wind Can Reach?!

Huh?! No ...!

All You Know
Is It Passed By You
Sitting In A Motor Vehicle
42 Months Ago Last Spring
AND
"The Message" Still Getting Air-Play
For It Has Got Rhythm
AND
Nebuchadnezzar's Sound Of Music
Is Riotously
Thrillingly
Pulsating!

Wow! The Wind Does Indeed Talk!
Live And Learn!
Live And Learn!

I Don't Know About You
BUT
I Was Once A Fool
Who, In Essence, Said
Acted
Pretended
That There Is No God
But
In The Day With Comeuppance
First Words
Out Of My Mouth
Were:

God Help Me!
Please, God?! Help Me!
I'm Dying!
My Life Is Going South!

Isn't It Amazing
When Party Lights Are Illuminating
That Your Life Is On A Chill Pill
AND
On The Groove
Your Heart Is Pulsating
That When Apparent Death
Is Toward You Walking
You Automatically Know
That It Is
The Light Of Life
For Help
You Should Be Calling!

Been There!
Done That!
I Had A Season Ticket
To Death By Degrees
AND
Found Out
The Hard Way
That Sin ... The Disease
Does As It Darn Well Does Please
UNLESS
AND
UNTIL
Christ The Cure
Knocks At Your Heart
AND
You Willingly Open
AND
Invite Him
To Enter Through Your Unblocked Front Door!

I Know!
He Knocked!
I Answered!
We Sat Down To Eat!
It Was A Simple Supper
BUT
God Be Praised
It Was Sweet, Sweet!
There Were No Babylonian Wines!
No Pharisee Leaven!
No Look-Back Salt-Licks
AND
No Fig Trees Around Found Barren
BUT
There Was
Bread Of Heaven
AND
Water
Flowing Freely
From The River Of Life
AND
The Touch Of The Master's Hand
AND
The Comfort Of The Holy Spirit Thereafter
AND
The Protection Of The Holy Angels
Because
I Had Set The Table For Our Meal
With Choicest Confession
AND
Repentance!

I Suddenly Found That
I Had No Time For Hold Out
Hold Back
Nor Keep It In!

I Served Up Of-Sin: A Gully Washer
AND
Christ The Cure
Provided Full Cleansing
Made Up Of
Pardon For Sin
Peace That Endureth
Grace For The Day
Faith For The Way
Love Without Limit
Mercy For Me
AND
A Drop Of The Blood
Of The True Sacrifice
The Son Of The Father
Jesus The Christ
The Only One Holy!

And, Then ...

There Was Rejoicing In Heaven
The Strains Of Which
Man Has Never Heard
Over The Lost Sheep
Found
Repentant
Returned
To The Safe Fold Of God!

I Will Say This
Brother, Sister
It Was All Done
Not A Moment Too Soon
For
Liar The Lion Was Raging
Licking His Lips
For
Hell Had Mutton Stew
Fresh Killed
On Decimation Mankind's
Unchangeable Price Fixe Menu!
He Was Aiming For His Fill!

Too Bad For Him!
I Was Safe
In The Arms Of Jesus!

Sooooo ...

What's Happening Now, My Friend?!

I Read Old King James
For My Self -
A Thus Saith The Lord
Is My Guide!
God Said It!
I Believe It!
In Heavenly Love
I Sincerely Abide!

I Offer Up Myself
A Living Sacrifice ...!

... I Know! Right On!

... It Is My Reasonable Service!
I Worship The Lord Of Life
With Delight
AND
My House
- No Longer On Sand -
But On The Sure Foundation
Is Being Rebuilt
In A Peaceful Glade!
I No Longer Sing The World's Favorite Song!

Storms Of Life
Winds Of Strife
AND
Calls To Flesh
Come In Abundance
BUT
Truth Is Bought!
I Sell It Not
AND
Wisdom
Is My Shop Attendant!

The Grace Of God
Constrains Me
To Not Become Self-Willed!
I Stand Up For Jesus Christ
I Obey
I Trust My Life
To The One Who Gives
AND
IS
Life
AND
By Striving For The Mastery
Praying - Spirit Leading -
I Cannot
By Powers
Principalities
Wickedness In High Places
Nor Satan Himself
Be Overthrown!

In Jesus
I Shall Not Make Shipwreck Of Faith
For
There Is Waiting For Me
- In Heaven -
A Sure And Certain Place!

Thank God For Grace!

Thank GOD For Grace!

Of Chaos And Confusion + PRAYER: I'm Listening, Lord!

Constant Chaos
Total Chaos
Men Women Children
Living Their Lives In Fear
Fearful
Of Outcomes
Guaranteed To Distress
Not Knowing How
To Get Out Of The Mess!

Who Will Call The Master?
Who Will Petition The King?
Who Will Say A Prayer Of Faith
Guaranteed An Answer
From Heaven Where
The King Of Love Is Residing?

I Will Say A Prayer!
Will You?
I Will Make A Petition?
Don't You Have One Too?

He Does Not Hear Me!
My Life Is Too Vile!
I Have Ceased Praying -
My Stomach Is Filled With Bile
Because I Know That He
Will Not
Cannot 
Save A Wretch Like Me!

Not True, My Brother
My Sister!
Not Close To The Truth, My Friend!

We Have An Advocate
- Christ The Righteous By Name -
In Whose Hands
By Whose Blood
We May Approach The Father
Seeking Relief
From Lives
Lived Like Lice
Eating Anything Warm
Because It Appears Choice
BUT
Jesus - The Savior
The Creator
Man's Best Friend
Has Made A Way For Us
So That Our Prayers
Are Guaranteed
Through His Love
His Sacrifice
AND
The Holding Of His Faith
To Get An Answering!

Will You Believe That Jesus Saves?
Will You Believe That God Cares?
Will You Trust The Pardon Purchased?
Will You Cast On Christ Your Fears?
Your Cares?

Will He Really Hear Me?

Yes, He Will
IF
You Believe That He Is Who He Says He Is
AND
That He Will Do What He Says
That He Will Do!

But ...

You Must Do Your Part, Too
By Confessing Your Sin
Repenting Of Your Past
AND
By Faith
Asking The Master
To Take The Case Before The Father
On Your Behalf!

When You Confess Your Sin
He Is Faithful
AND
Just
To Forgive
AND
He Will Cleanse You
From All Unrighteousness -
Please Let Him Your Heart Enter In!

Chaos
Confusion
Pain
Sorrow
Woe
Care
Crisis
Confession
Repentance
Just Leave It All
Give It All To Jesus
AND
Of His Mercy And Grace
You Can Rest Assured
Knowing That For Your Own Soul's Salvation
The Holy Spirit
The Spirit Of Truth 
Will
- Of Necessity -
To Complete What Jesus Christ Has Started
Be Imparted!

And That Lost Soul 
In Prayer ... Cried:


Oh, Lord,
Please Hear Me!
I Am Calling Out To You!
I Want No Other God But You, Lord
This Is Now My Truth!

I Have Been Wayward
A Wanderer
Pig-Headed
Even Abstruse Wicked
Wild And Often Loose!

I Confess My Sin!
I Repent - Forgive Me!
I Desire The New Start
That The Old Word Ever New
Says
That You Can Give Me!

I Come As A Child - Teach Me!
Help Me To Walk In Right Ways
And, Lord
I Am Now Listening
I Will Walk With You
If You Will Attend Me
On This Life's Hard And Trying Pathways!
In Jesus' Name, I Humbly Plead
Make This Old Goat A Brand New Lamb
For I Now Know
That None Other But You
Can!
AMEN.

Welcome To The Family!

JESUS CHRIST: Author Support Source




Jesus Christ
IS
The Author
The Support
The Source
Of Our Lives!
Would That We Learn
This Necessary Lesson Now
For We Can't
After We Die!

Too Many Of Us
Are Caught Up
In Delving Into The Hidden Ways Of The Eternal God
AND
Because We Are So Devilishly Malicious
We Get Riotously Entangled
With The Wily Fraud!

It Is Always Amazing To Me
When Man
- A Suckling Baby -
Teaches Classes At University
Waxing Poetical
Even As He Speaks
The Language Nonsensical
When All Over His Face
Is What One Wise
Would Call Matter Fecal
Not Known To Be Edible!

That's A Low Blow!

Is It A Lie?!

No! No! You Speak Truth!
But Did You Have To Be So ... Plain
So Blunt About It?!
Theirs Is For Help A Cry!

If Man Is Honest
He Will Acknowledge Jesus Christ
AND
Give Satan
- That Dragon -
The Boot!

Truth
Is Uncomfortable To The Wicked
Is Despised By The Evil
AND
Is Discarded By The Fraud
AND
The Agents On His Tab
AND
That Is Why Truth
The God Of Truth
The Love For Truth
Are Sold As Things Expired
Needing Retooling
Needing Casting Away
Like A Dry Hanging Scab!

If Jesus Is ...
...Jesus Is
The Author Of Our Lives
The Support For Our Lives
The Source Of Our Lives
What For
Why Is It So All-Fired Important
For A Man
By A Man
With The Means Of Mere Man
To Get Life From A Man
AND
Be Recyclably
Immortalized?!

Error! Error! Error!

That Does Not Compute!
Recalibrating Current Position!
New Destination?
If Not, Refute!


I Am Going To Heaven With My Jesus!
Are You?
I Am Walking My Jesus
AND
This I Know Is True:

Man Did Not Make God!
God Is Not A Fool!
God Is No Liar
AND
His Word Is Holy
Sacrosanct
Wholly True!

The Devil Is The Liar!
His Words Are Truth Reversed
AND
All
Who Vaingloriously Follow His Lead
Will Keep
AND
Perish From
His Greed And Envy-Inspired
Trust Me Not Your Maker
You Shall Be As God
Curse!

What God Desires Us To Know
Is Made Plain Available
For Us To Find Out!

That's Bible 101!

What God Has Hidden From Our Sight
We Have No Torch
Big Enough
To Provide Revelation's Light
AND
It Is Time That Men Realize
That Rearranging Fact
Only Creates
A Bigger Fiction
AND
All That That Does
Is Finite Man's Brain Tax!

I Dare You To Prove That!

Have You Ever Encountered
The Law Of Unintended Consequences?

Can't Say That I Have!
Of That
I Am Sure That I'm Sure!

Okay.
What's Wrong With Eating
Let's Say
An English Apple?!

Nothing!
You Wash
You Bite
You Spit Out The Stray Seed
You Toss Away The Core
You Rub Your Belly In Satisfaction
You Burp
You Ask For More!
It's All Good!

But ... 

What If ...?!

What If You Were Told
Do Not Eat It
Because 
If You Do 
You Will Surely Die
BUT
Your Companion
Your Newly-Met Friend
With Hidden But Sweet Knowledge
Says:

You Shall Not Surely Die
You Shall Be
As It Were
"God!"
You Shall See
Know Things Wonderful!
I Know!
It Tastes Good - I Ate  It!
Look At Me!
Am I Not Here?!

Yeah! Sure!

Now Give Me My Praise By Applause!

Eat! Eat!

And ... 

You Eat It!
You Can Feel The Insight Infilling
AND
You Share It
With Your Husband
Wife, Dear!
You Don't Die ... Immediately
But 
You Instantly Lose Your Light Covering
AND
You Are Naked
In Your Own Eyes!
AND
On Top Of That
Your Maker
AND
Your Landlord
Come To Pick Up The
Prayer And Praise House Rent
AND
You Feel Shame And Fear
ANDYou Make A Garment Of Fruit Tree Leaves
Using Your New Insight Aka Your Own Wisdom
AND
Attempt To Hide Your Nakedness
AND
No Longer Being Able To Pay The Due Rent
You Get Cursed For Your Own Sake
AND
You Get Evicted!
Labor Pain And Sorrow Follow!

You Are Talking About Adam And Eve!

Yes! 
And What Is The Result
Of That Malicious Covetous Interest
In Having What Is God's Power?

Oh ...

Untold Billions Dead!
Untold Suffering!
Unmitigated Hate!
Inordinate Affections!
Satanic Influences
Causing Men Women
To Be Raped
Hacked To Death
Some To Be Bartered And Sold
AND
Unparalleled Lust
For Shiny Objects
Things Unattainable
In The Holy Spirit-Lead Realm!

Men 
Lost
Lying
Dying
Crying
Denying
Putrifying 
Drug Supplying
Spying ...
Cruelty ... Just Because ...
I Could Go On!

God Help Us!

He Did!
He Does!

Jesus Christ ... Again
Is
The Author Of
The Support For
The Source Of
Life!
Let Us Not Delve Into The Unknown!
Be It Made Known
That That Is A Satanic Device!

With Gratitude For Grace
We Should Be Pleased To Accept The Gifts
That God Gives To Men
AND
To Use Them
For Man's Good
AND
For God's Glory
AND
Do Right!
Live Right!
Bless God!
Honor 
AND
Obey The Lord
Confess And Repent Of Sin
Walk In Faith - That's Integral
AND
Not By The Lying Light
Of Lustful Eyesight
AND
At The Appointed Time
- For Enduring Overcoming Faith -
The Great God Will
- Himself -
Give Immortality
To Regenerated Man!

I Pray God To Receive It!
How About You?!

From Your Lips
To The Eternal God's Ears!

Amen, My Friend!
Amen!
