BYPASSING WISDOM: The Stench Of Own-Way!

Defy Logic
AND
Bypass Wisdom
Are Brethren
And Not Cousins
Once Removed!

Defy Logic
AND
Bypass Wisdom
Love! Love! Love!
In Club Wrongdoing
To Groove
AND
Bust A Move!

They Have A Dastardly Mandate:

Flex Your Muscles
Initiate A Date
AND
Make A Neophyte
To The Things Of Darkness
- New Found -
Relate!

They Know All The Good Rocks
They Know All The Penny Holes
They Know How To Adroitly Vascillate
AND
They Know The Great Liar
Who Does The World's Greatest Hit Reel 

Narrate!
They Have Goals!

I Must Here Tell You That ...

Defy Logic
AND
Bypass Wisdom
Are Not One-Hit Wonders! 

Defy Logic
AND
Bypass Wisdom
Are
Out And Out
Take-No-Prisoners

For
You'll-Have-To-Feed-Them
Bounders!

These Broke Merchants
Don't Care
Whom They Break Down!
They Are Bre'k-Down
Tek-Down Merchants
With Their Bulbous Hound-Dog Noses
Practically Stitched To The Damp Ground
Seeking
Sensing
Scenting
The Sweat Of The One
Stinking Of The Essence Of Own-Way
The Stench Of The One
Who Acts As Though
The Living God Cares Not
When Where How
Finite Man
Lives Loves
Works Rests And Plays!

Do Not Be Deceived
When A Wink Sails At You! 

Don't Be Deceived
When A Crooked Smile
Deftly Tries To Tickle You! 

Don't Be Deceived
When Dancing Words
Wind Around Your Ears
AND
Don't! Don't!
Don't Be Deceived
When Known Illogic 

Becomes Apparently Logical
AND
Wisdom Outside The Realm Of Man
Is Presented To You
As Corned Beef In A Sardine Can!
It's All Flim-Flam!
Understand?!

Dogs Bark!
Ducks Quack!
Turkeys Gobble
AND
Whirly Gigs Wobble
AND
When You See Chickens
In Wedding Attire
Walking Down The Church Aisle
- Wing In Wing -
Know Of A Surety
Satan Is Doing What He Does Best
AND
That Is
To Men, Fallen
Lie
Seeking To Make Them Hurt
AND
In Time ... Cry!
In This
He Is Not Shy!

Bypass Defy
AND
Find Wisdom Has Logic!

Defy Wisdom
AND
Find
Your Logic Is A Cream Puff Pie ... Lie!

The Spirit Of Almighty God Is Wisdom
AND
Almighty God Is The God Order
So
Step By Step
With God Walk On
AND
You Will Not Be Fallen Upon
When The Rock
That Fills The Whole Earth
Into The Picture
Comes Rolling Along!

Satan Is The Liar
So
Look To Jesus!

Look Up ... Higher
AND
From Sin And Sinning
With Alacrity
Retire! Retire!

Didn't I Just Tell You
RETIRE!?!

On The Road To Life: The Race

On The Road To Life
In The Way Of Man
Is The Race For Life

Each Person On The Road
Has A License For Living Life
That Can't Be Sold

Each License Has A Liberty Band
To Be Used Or Not To Be Used
It Must Stay On The Man

Each Liberty Band
Has Two Strands
That Show The Growth Of The Man

One Strand On The Liberty Band
Is Standard To All Men
The Other Is ... Well ...

Let's Hear From A Man:

I Started Life Like All Men
With Free Will And Choice
When I Reached The Age
To Decide For Myself
I Activated My License
AND
I Took Off Like A Pop Kite
On The Road Of Life

WARNING:

Know The Differences Between

To Life

For Life

AND

Of Life

I Reached The Cross Road
Where The Race For Life Begins
Fully Cognizant
- Aware -
That The Race For Life
Has Two Clear Endings
AND
I Set Off At A Furious Pace
Willing To Take Off After
To Chase Down
Who Ever Had The Hot Rod
Who Ever Looked Like
They Were Going To Make Goal
Gold

I Was Flying High
AND
On Fuel

I Was Running Low
BUT

I Was Catching ALL That Catch Can
That Is Until The Day
I Made It To King Of The Hill
AND THENOops! A Daisy!
I Took A Spill

A Word Of Caution ...

Sweet Life Is The Life
When You Have All The Answers
When You're Dishing Out The Sweets
BUT
Sweet Life Ain't No Life
When Payback Is A Female Dog
With Swollen And Sore Teats

When I'd Started The Race For Life
My Liberty Band Was Green
I Was Free To Do What I Wanted
BUT
Not As Long As I Wanted

Now That I Am Low On Fuel

In The Valley Of Life Or Death Decision
I Have Time To Think
AND
To Notice What I Had Filled My Liberty Band With

Insight Can Be Sickening ...

I Became Green Around The Gills
AND
Suddenly
I Wanted To Phone ... Home

BUT

Home Is Where The Heart Is
AND
I Was Calling My Self!?!

I Had Neglected The Real
The Truly Rewarding
The Blessed Things Of Life
AND
I Had Filled Up
On Things ...
Fleeting ... Things
Useless ... Things
Earthly ... Things

Unwanted Understanding

Can Be A Bastard ...

I Had Light ... Darkening
I Had Hope ... Disappearing
I Had Truth ... Cast Down
I Had Faith ... Doubting
I Had Love ... Spurned

At Life
I. Was. Losing.

In Shock
I Yelled Out:

How Did I Get Here?!

The Answer Was Instantaneous:

You Do Not Hold The Lord Of Life

In Godly Fear.

I Started To Cry :

Lord, Help Me!
I Don't Want To Die!
I've Been Living A Lie!

I Had Been Warned About
To For And Of ... Life
BUT
I Had Not Taken Heed
AND
Now, Now
Now I Was In A Bind
In A Pickle
AND
The Only God Who Could Help Me
Is The Only God
Who Is Living
Real
Not Fickle

Living Wisdom Did Unfold ...

• GUARD Your Heart
• COVER Your Head
• CLEAN Your Eyes
• UNSTOP Your Ears
• REMOVE The Skates From Your Feet
• DROP The Filthy Lucre From Your Hand
• PURCHASE The Righteous Character From The Son Of Man
• INVITE The Holy Spirit To Take Up Residence Within
• ALLOW The Holy Angels To Protect You By Accepting Their Good Influencing
• WALK In The Light Of Life To Eternal Life
• FOLLOW The Good Shepherd
• HEED The Wondrous Story
• SUBMIT Your Self Under The Mighty Hand Of The God Of Grace
• LEAN On The Everlasting Arm
• Be OBEDIENT Unto ... Death

Accepting The Truth ...

Be Obedient Unto ... Death
Was Ringing In My Ears

For

I Was Close To Dying

I Gave The Lord Of Life 

My Fears
My Sorrows
My Regrets
My Sin

My Repentance
My Life
AND
The Lord Of Life Gave Unto Me
New LIFE For Old

He Took My Copper
AND
He Gave Me Tried Gold

He Took My Scarlet Garment
Liberally Stained With My Wilful Sin
AND
He Gave Me A Linen Garment
White
With A Heaven-Clean Sheen

He Was Not To Me Mean

A Coal
From The Altar Of Sacrifice
Cleansed My Tongue
AND
The Song Of Praise Poured Forth
AND
I Was In The Son

I Was No More Worshiping In The Groves
Sitting Down To Eat
AND
Rising Up To Play ... With The Devil
Known
Working
To Destroy Me

Time Changed
AND
I Am Now Walking
In Measured Pace
Prayerful
Hopeful
Helpful
Heeding
Waiting
Watching
Working
Wiser
Knowing Where My Help Comes From
Knowing That My Life Is In Almighty God's Hands
Knowing That My Heart Is Safe At Home
With Jesus Christ The Lord
My Maker
AND
My King
My New Beginning
AND
Of A Surety
My Blessed End
The One
The Only One
On Whom I Now Depend

PS:
With My Free Will
I Made The Choice
AND
I Gave My Liberty Band
My License For Living Life
My Life
To The Lord Of Life

In His Love
I Rejoice!

PPS:

Scales And Beams

In Sensitive Eyes

Do Not Make For Clear 

- Nor Comforting - 

Vision

Self-Denial And Self-Satisfaction Are Roads!

As A Child
Under The Age Of Consent
I Was Taught
Corrected
Encouraged
Directed
AND
Led
To Cheerful Obedience!
I Was With God's Truth Fed!

As IS to Be Expected
With The Coming Of Age
I Strove For Autonomy!
For Independence, I Sped!

With Independence
Comes Decision-Making
Walk Right!
Look Left!
Turn About!
Go All Around!
See What Fits!
AND
Indulge!
Stand Your Ground!
AND
That Was When I Reached
The Start
The Gate
Where Men Have Dates
With ... Fate!?!

Independence Road
Is For Traffic ... One Lane

Until
- With Wild Oats For Sowing -
You Arrive At The Junction
Where All Men
- For a Period Of Reflection -
Must Abide:

Walk With Jesus!

OR

Walk With Pride

Walk With Jesus:
Straight Gate
Narrow Way
Self-Denial

DESTINATION: Eternal Life

Walk With Pride:
Wide Gate
Broad Way
Self-Satisfaction

DESTINATION: Destruction

Note That ...

Innumerable People
Choose
Walk With Pride
Without Ever Knowing
Their Ultimate Destination
BECAUSE
They Stop At Reading
Self-Satisfaction
AND
Let Out THE Roar:

"Freedom To Do Me!"

They Walk Through The Wide Gate
AND
Immediately Head To The Toy Store

AND
Thence To The Restaurants
Tawdry Tastes
AND
Perverted Appetite

AND
Thence To The Theater Of Living The Life
Where The Looped Film Is
"Sensations Galore!" 
You Never Hear A Patron Snore!

There Is Vomit All Over The Floor
AND
The Patrons Are Crying
Give Me More!
Give Me More!
Give Me More!
AND
Cut Off From The Son
- The Light Of Life
The True Source For Abundant Living -
Ultimately Dying!

Those Who Choose
Walk With Jesus
Know The Whole Score
Before Walking In The Gate!

They Know Sorrow
Disappointment

AND
Hardships
AND
Ardent Service
Is Their Allotment
But, Unphased
They Hold The Extended Marred Hand
AND
With Unshaded Eyes
Walk The Narrow Gate!

Their First Companion Is 

Truth In the Inward Parts
Followed By Obedience At All Costs
Grace For The Day
Mercy For Thee Is Free
AND
Redeeming Love!

There Is Jesus' Peace That Passes Understanding
AND
Rest For The Weary Soul
AND
The Song That Cheers Along The Way!

And  ...

Who Could Forget
The Weightier Companions
There To Bless God's Friends?!

There Is The Blood
Confessing Sin
Repenting Of Known Sin
Forgiveness Of Sin
Heart Right With God
AND
Set Apart For God's Service!

And, Of Course ...

There Are The Beloved Champions
Faith For Today
Jesus Is The Way
Spirit Of The Living God
Yes, Lord!
Hope For Heaven
Angels Excelling In Strength
Good News
Blessed Assurance
Wrestling With The Lord
Victory In Jesus
Thanks Be To God
AND
JESUS SAVES

AND

That Ever Cheerful Voice

Jesus Is Coming Soon!

Walk With Jesus 
Is No Easy Road!
No Cake Walk!

ANDNo Jazz Jump Up!

It Is Hard Work
Thankless Work
BUTRefining Work
Thoroughly Necessary!

All Who Go There
Willing To Endure All
Know Of A Surety That 

Strong Is Their Lord!

They Start The Walk
Burdened
BUTThey Give All To Jesus Christ Their Lord!

They Pray Without Ceasing!
They Humble Themselves!
They Eat The Bread Of Affliction!
AND
Their Heads Don't In Pride Swell!

Their Journey Is To Salvation!
They Will To Drink Of The River Of Water Of Life!
They Study To Show That They Are Of God Approved
AND
With The Grace Of God Ever Present
They Are By The Wiles Of The Devil
Unmoved!

LIFE ... Everlasting
In The Kingdom Of God
Is Their Motivator
To Stand Against The Wily Fraud!
They Love Not Their Lives
AND

Are Willing
In Christ
To Die
AND
They Cast Not Down Truth
Into The Street
AND
They Will Not Love
Use
Nor Accept
The Ever Convenient Lie!

Their Home Is Heaven!
Their Lord Is The Holy God!
Their Comfort Is The Holy Spirit!
Their Good Influencers
Are

The Holy Angels
Not

The Fallen Angels Of Satan The Liar
The Murderer
The Fraud!

There Is An Anticipated Celebration!
A Banquet!
A Coronation!
A Feast!

They Will Sit Down At The Welcome Table
AND
Jesus Christ
Their King
The Redeemer
Their Savior
Will Serve Them
Before Their Bright Mansion
Become Their Forever Homes!

BRETHREN ...

Please Read The Entire Sign Post
Before You Make Your Decision For 

Your Future Life!

There Is No Do-Over

Once One Ceases From Corporeal Life!

Do Not Become Blinded
By Convenience And Ease
For
Come THE Day Of Vengeance
Jesus Christ
- The Judge Of All Men -
Will Give Garments Of Righteousness
Immortality
Incorruption
Only To Those
Who Chose To Walk With Jesus
Holding Him In Their Hearts Close!

When You Love The Lord Christ

And

His Truth

And

Are Obedient

And

Take Correction

And

Direction 

You Will Never Face Destruction!

Love, Like, And Appreciate!

We Love Because
The Living God Is Love
AND

We Are Called To That Purpose!

We Are Instructed
To Love Our Neighbor
As We Love Ourselves
AND
Brethren
This Is Quite Instructive!

They Are People That We Love
BUT
Do Not Necessarily Like
Even Though In Our Hearts We Hold Them, Dear
For Their Conversation
Their Behaviors
Their Interests Are Not Ours
AND
Constant Lounging In Their Presence
- Physically Or Orally -
Is Not Something For Which We Do Care!

Remember ...

Only Those Who Agree
Walk Together!

Pleases Me!
Brings Me Pleasure ...

There Are Those Persons Whom We Love
AND

Whom We Like
AND
Whom We Sincerely Appreciate
Those For Whom Gratitude Is A Banner We Bear
AND

It Only Takes
A Simple Action On Their Part
For Recognition In Us To Dawn
AND
For Us To Know
That They Are Keepers
AND

We Desire That From Us
They Never Depart!

This Is The Person
That Is Friend!

We Previously Called Them Friend 

Unconsciously
BUT
Something Happens
AND
We
- By An Act Of Will -
Recognize
That Friend Is What They Really Are
AND
Then We
- With Finite Understanding -
Understand
The Words Of Our Lord:

... There Is A Friend

That Sticketh

Closer Than A Brother!

What A Friend We Have
In Jesus
A Friend With Whom We
Our Burdens Share
- Joys, Hopes, And Pleasures Too -
A Friend To Comfort
Guide Feed And Lead Us
The Friend
That From Us
Will Never Turn Away!

He Is The Friend
The Soul's Life-Giver
The Friend
In Whose Blood
Our Sins Are Washed Away
The Friend
From Whom Grace Comes
AND

Mercy
AND
Sure Salvation
The Friend
Whose Love For Us
Knows No Bounds
The Friend On Whom
We Can Ever Depend! 

Jesus Christ 

The One Righteous

IS

The Friend
Who Gives Unto His Faithful Friends
Abundant Life
AND
Immortality
That Is
Life Everlasting
Life  ... Without End!

Jesus Christ Is My Friend!

Will You Make Him Yours?!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH : I Deny Satan + PRAYER : Lord, Help Me To Be Like Christ

Why Would I
Why Should I
Sell Gold
To Buy Silver?!

Why Would I Sell Gain
To Get Loss?!

Why Would I Forego
The Water Of The River Of Life
To Get Brimstone From The Lake Of Fire
That Not Even The Hand Of Mercy
From It
Will Me Take?!

Am I To Be So Consumed
With Buying And Selling
To Get Unprofitable Gain
That I Would Keep Sin's Stain
AND
Ignore Christ's Pain
So That I May Live
A Life Profane
Dancing With The Devil
Completely Wrapped Up In HIS Chains?!

No! No!
A Thousand Times: "NO!"

I Believe The Words Of The Master!
I Am Bathed In The Innocent One's Blood
AND
I Choose To Accept The Gift Promised Before
AND
Unveiled
Realized
On This Side of The Flood!

I Deny Satan
The Liar Supreme!
I Accept Soul Salvation
For On Faith
Jesus Christ's Blood
Washes Me Clean!

By God's Great Grace
I Accept The Conditions:

Faith
Belief
Love
Trust
Obedience
Confession
Repentance
Baptism
Hope
Endurance
No Doubt
Never To Fables Turning Aside
Walking
Watching
Working
In The Secret Place Of Prayer Do I Abide
As I Wait ... Patiently
For My Faith To Become Sight
For My Test To Be My Testimony
For My Heart Of Flesh
For The Good Work In Me To Be Completed
For My Soul To Be Anchored In The Lord
For My Change To Come
For My Crown Made Of Heaven's Pure Gold!

PRAYER:

Most Gracious Lord, 

Thou Knowest All Things!

Thou Knowest I Love Thee

Bless Me With The Blessing

That Binds Me Ever

For Eternity

Unto Only Thee

For 

In Thee

I Am ... Free!

Free Indeed!

Help Me To Not Turn Aside To Fables! 

Help Me To Daily Come To The Decision

That Thine IS The Only Word!

Help To Not Lean To Temptation

AND

In Truth

To Share The Blessed Word!

Help Me To Be Like Christ

In Thought Word And Deed

And

Clean Me And Heal Me

And

Bless Me, Lord

With Spiritual Eyes And Ears

A Clean Tongue

And

A Pure Heart 

And

To Ever Know And Accept Truth

So That I Will Not Fall

For The Beautiful Babylonian Garments

That Are Nothing More Than

Demonic Device!

You Are The Almighty God

Faithful

Eternal Holy Just

Forgiving Welcoming

Blessing Providing Sustaining

And

Ever True

And

With Humility

I Longingly

Hopefully 

Bow Before You!

May Your Grace

Be Ever Sufficient For Me

For I Desire To Reside In

My Own By-Love-Prepared Place! 

I Love You, Lord
And
I Desire

- In Peace -

To See My Jesus' Face

The Very Jesus

In Whose Matchless Name

I Humbly Plead

The Very Jesus

Who Took To Himself

My Shame And Disgrace!

AMEN.

HAPPY SABBATH + SIN: A Light Thing?! + PRAYER: Bless Us To Do Thy Will, Lord!

Treating Sin As A Light Thing
Is An Attitude Quite Foolish
For
Only Great Evil Comes Of It
As Things Thought Light
Will

- With Passage Of Time -
Become In The Soul
A Gross
A Damnable ... Habit
Leading One

Unto The Darkness Of The Blackest Night!

The Worst Thing A Parent
Can Do To A Child
Is To Treat Early Wrongdoing As Cute
As A Flower

That Will Soon Pass Away
For
What Was Considered Cute In The Precocious
The One Learning Wrong ... Young
Becomes A Thing To Be Despised
As That Soul Grows
AND
Egregiously
Gets Bold!

The Act Of Constant Sinning
Creates Muscle Memory In Man
AND
It Is Added To Man's Already Sinful
Natural Inclination
So, Please
I Beseech You
Teach The Young Ones To Do Right
So That Satan And His Minions
Cannot Deceive Them
Encouraging Them
To Be Creatures Of The Night!

There Is No Eternal Profit In Sinning
Though One May Seemingly Enjoy Temporal Gain! 

There Is No Harvest Celebration
When Damnation Is The Result Of Sin's Shame!
There Is But A Fearful Anticipation
Of The Fruits Of Wrongdoing
When The Judge Of All Men
- That Paymaster Supreme -
Issues Your Earned Paycheck
As Promised
For The Displeasing Work
That You, In Unrighteousness
Greatly Enjoyed Doing!

Little Sinners Unchallenged
Unchanged
Become
Iniquitous Reprobates
Left To Their Own Devices
Abandoned
To Their Own Self-Prescribed
- But Prophesied -
Fate
So, Please
Do A Body Good
AND
Teach The Children Right
AND
By Your Own Good Example
Lead Them On The Straight And Narrow Way
AND
In This Manner
There Won't Be Any
Own-Sin Self-Pay
For They Will Be Living In The Light
AND
Not Be Upon Mankind A Scourge

A Blight!

PRAYER:

Dear Father,

Help Us Not To Consider Sin

A Light Thing!

Help Us To Call Sin By Its Right Name!

Help Us To Do Right

And

Walk Right

In The Will Of The Lord

So That In The Dark Day

We Shall Not Be The Inheritors Of

Condemnation's Damnation

And

Face The Lake Of Fire

Cast Out

From Eternal Life With Jesus Christ

Our Only God And Master!

Bless Us To Do Thy Will

As We Fill Our Hearts And Minds

With Truth

From The Book Of The Good News

So That We May

Ever Always

Satan's Base Entreaties

Vigorously Refuse!

We Love You, Lord!

Have Mercy On Us

And Bless

For You Are The Holy God

And

Able!

In Jesus Christ's Name

We Humbly Pray And Plead!

AMEN.

 **--**--**--**--**

Every Human Being Knows

That Sin Is Wrong!

Every Willful Sinner

Believes

That He Can Truth

In The Street

Cast Down!

So ...

Be Not Presumptuous!

And

Be Not As The One Profane!

But

Accept The Truth Of The Gospel

And

Get Off Of Satan's

Way To Damnation

Fast Lane!

PRAYER: Father, Our Strength Is Little!

I Come To You, Father!

I Call You Lord And God!

I Bless You For The Blessings

And

I Am Grateful For The Grace

And

I Am So Thankful To Know

That To Me

You Will Never Act The Fraud!

I See You Now

Through A Glass

Dimly

But In Faith

I Look To The Great Day

When I Shall See My Jesus

In Peace

And

Face To Face!

Until That Day, Father

Be My Guardian And My Guide

And

Bless Me To Do Your Bidding

As I, In Your Love

In Hope And By Faith

- Striving For The Mastery

That Is Victory Over Sin -

Do Abide!

Help Me to Wait, Lord

Ever Always On You

For You Know All

See All

Are In All

And

You Are My All And All

And

By Your Grace-Filled Blessing

I Seek Ever To Answer:

"Yes, Lord! I Am Listening!"

When I Hear Your Soft And Sweet Voice

Call!

Remember My Brethren 

Near And Far

Known And Known

Those Already In The Ark Of Safety

And

Those Now Headed To The Door Still Ajar!

Bid The Children Draw Nigh

For

Night Is Falling Fast

And

Help Us Walk Straight

And

With Endurance

For

It Is The One God Eternal

Upon whom

Our Soul's Lot Is Cast!

Help Us To Pray Without Ceasing!!

Help Us To Not Love Sleep!

Help Us To Keep Oil In Our Trimmed Lamps

And, Please

Let Peace

The Carrying Of the Peace Of The Good News

The Gospel

Be The Never Worn-Out Shoes

On Our Feet!

Let The Angels Surround Us!

Let The Holy Spirit Indwell

For We Await Our Returning Christ Jesus

Upon Whom Our Thoughts Constant

Dwell!

Our Strength Is Little

But You

Lord God Almighty

Are Eternity-Wide Strong

And We

The Willing Faithful

With You

Will

In Truth

Walk Humbly Along!

Have Mercy, Lord

On Us

For We Hold You

In Godly Fear!

In The Name Of Jesus

We Pray And ... Humbled

Plead!

We Love You, Lord!

AMEN.
