HAPPY SABBATH + The Wedding

One Gloriously Bright And Beautiful Morning
In The Presence Of God
And
A Reasonably Large Company Of Witnesses
The. Beatitudes
Was Joined In Holy Matrimony To
Ten Commandments!

Nobody Saw It Coming!
Nobody Expected It!
People Were Flummoxed!

There Was Much Whizzy Whizzying!

And

The Host Of Men
Wanted To Know
Why
The. Beatitudes Aka The Blessings
Would Marry Of All People
Ten Commandments!?!

Ten Commandments
Is Considered
- Pointedly -

Two-Faced!

On One Unblemished Face
Ten Commandments Has His Personal Relationship
Aka His Vertical Relationship
With The True And Living
Holy Eternal
Blessing Giving
Saving Redeeming
Helping Healing
Guiding Leading
Faithful Merciful
Always Available
Trust-Worthy God!
It Is On Lock-Down!

Yeah! That's Just How He Says It!!

His Motto ... On That Score
That Face
Is
"Nothing Between My Soul And My Savior!"

On The Other Also Squeaky Clean Face
He Has His Up In Your Face Relationship
- Get This -
To. His. Fellow. Man!

The Motto He Ever Utters
In The Hearing Of All In The Sound Of His Great Voice
Is
"I Love My Neighbor As I Love Myself!

Positions Were Taken Up ...

The Star Gazers Saw Nothing Wrong With The Union
Because, To Them
Ten Commandments Was More Like
Ten Suggestions
Ten Recommendations
Ten Ideas!

They Didn't Believe He Could Be Serious
About
"Daily Walking Holy Just Honest And True!"

The Illuminated Ones
Saw Themselves As gods
And
Poo-Pooed Ten Commandments' "Play"
As Being Totally Unnecessary
For Their High And Lifted Up Minds
Which Stood Upon The Pedestal
"Do What Thou Wilt!"

The Free Spirits
Made A Bold Statement:

"A Good Live-With Beat Any Marriage!"

They Weren't Into Knots And Encumbrances!

But, The Christians ...

The Regenerated Christians
Were Joyfully Rejoicing
Because, Well
They Saw ... The Light!

It Was Sooo Simple That
It Is Mind-Boggling!

They Laughed!
They Cried!
They Hugged Each Other
And
They Pointed Up To Sky
And
Soon Was Heard A Clear Voice Among Them
Happily Saying:

"The Lord Jesus Christ, Himself 

Is In It!"

The Lord, Himself
Uttered
And
Wrote His Commandments
And
He, Also, Himself
Spoke The Blessing!

The Plain Truth ...

The Lord, Himself
Well
Commands ... Blessings!

When You Follow All God's Commandments
You Cannot Help
But
To Be Changed! 

You Will Look Up To God Almighty
And
Reach Out
To Your Fellow Man
And
The Order Of Priority
Is
Clean And Tidy

And

Rightly Organized!

You'd Better Recognize This, Though ...

The Blessing Is Reserved
For Those Who Believe
Those Who Honor
Trust
Love
Worship And Obey The Lord Christ

And

The Blessing Of Sonship
Is
Only For Those
Who Have Chosen
- By Working Faith -
For Own Sin
Not To Pay
By Accepting That Jesus Christ Paid The Bill
In Full
For All Mankind
On That One Great Day!

At The End Of The Celebration ...

The Faithful Few
Who Don't Bow The Knee

To Base Vanities

While Running After Lies
Were Heard Uttering These Few Choice Words:

Follow Ten Commandments

To Hold The. Beatitudes

And

Be Gloriously Blessed To Be Birthed

A Son Of God

And

A Joint-Heir To The Living Kingdom

With The Lord Jesus Christ!!

Embrace The Love

And

Faithfully Endure

All Things For The Lord Christ

To Be Blessed To Go And Live Forever

With Him

When He Breaches The Eastern Sky

At The Second Coming!

Redemption Is Not A Lie!

It Was Truly An Amazing Day!

On God's Truth

I Was Completely Sold!

Truth Be Told

It Is Gold Fit For The Seeking Soul!

 

Do You Know Who Your Jesus Christ Is!?! + PRAYER: Lord, Remember Me!

Brethren,
I Tell You Plainly That
Psalm 46
Will Distinctly Play Out

In The Prelude To
The Great Getting-Up Morning!

Is Jesus Christ The Lord
Your Refuge
And
Your Strength!?!

Do You Let Psalm 37
Be Your Guide
Or
Are You Fretting Yourself Over Evil Doers!?!

Is Psalm 23 Your Breakfast
Your Lunch
Your Dinner
Or
Are You So Caught Up 

In Catch Up To The World
That You Fail To Recognize That
The Lord Of Creation
The Savior Of Mankind
The Redeemer Of The Faith
Is
Your Shepherd!?!

Do You Stop And Think On
And
Remember That Psalm 91
Is 

Sufficient To Cover You

In The Day Of Small Things
When The Follies Of Rabid Sinners Are Fully Apparent
And
The Word Of God To The Faithful
Is
Made Wonderfully Real
When You Realize
- In Deed -
That No Evil Shall Come Nigh Your Dwelling Place!?!

Do Your Fully Trust The Lord
In Whom Is Everlasting Strength!?!

Do You Believe
With Every Fiber Of Your Being That
Almighty God

Is 

The Rewarder Of Them
That Diligently Seek Him!?

Do You Believe That You Are Wonderfully Blessed!?!

Are You Sheltered In The Arms Of God!?!

Are You Sending Ahead Treasures
Wrought Of Faith Hope
Love Trust 

Willing Obedience
Wonderful Worship

And
Thankful Prayers

And
Joyful Praise To The Great King!?!

Is The Blessed Assurance, Yours
By Faith!?!

Are You Telling The Story Of Jesus
Or
Are You Hiding Your Hope Because Of
Unholy Fear Of What Man Can Do To You!?!

Is Jesus Christ Enough

And

Sufficient

And 

All Thing To You!?!

Is Hope For Heaven The Breath That 

You Constantly Needfully Breathe!?! 

How Are You Saying:

"Thanks Be To Almighty God For

All The Joy That Now Is

And

That That Is To Be!?!"

Are You Happy

Truly Happy

 ... In Christ Jesus!?!

Have You Taken The Step To Give Up
Bearing Your Burdens ... Alone!?! 

If Not, Isn't It Time That You Do!?!

PRAYER:

Lord,

When You Shall In Your Kingdom Come

Please, I Beseech You

Remember Me!

I Am Available To You, Lord

But, Sometimes

I Do Not Feel Equipped Or Fit

To Do The Work Before The Family Of God!

Be Gracious, Father

And

Do For Me What None 

But 

The Holy God Can Do!

Make Me A Fit Vessel 

And

A Good Steward For And In Your Service!

Make Me A Ready Willing And Able Worker 

In The Lush Fields Of This Mortal Life!

I Am Eager To Learn Your Ways

And

Do Your Will

And

I Ask You Also

To Make Me A Conscientious Student 

In The School Of Jesus

And, Please

Make Me To Your Heart

A Blessing And A Delight!

I Love You, Lord!

I Worship You!

I Give You Praise!

May It Be Thus

Until The End Of My Days

Is My Heart's Constant Plea

In Jesus Christ's Holy Name!

You Promised Never To Forget Me!

AMEN.

I'm Thinking ...! + PRAYER: Lord, Please Keep Me Faithful ... Until Death!

Foolishness Ain't Sense
And
Scratch Grain Can't Pay House Rent!

An Insensitive Popsicle Is Still Cold
And
Stupidity Makes An Ignorant Man Bold!

Whether In Tangled Brush, Tall Bush Or Open Grass
The Church, The House Or The Work Place
A Fall From Grace
Makes Satan At Jesus Christ Rudely Laugh!

Think About This ...

What Is The Goal?!

Salt On Slug Back?
He Can Slime Out Of It!
Salt on Slug Path?
He Done Gone Belly Up!
The Intent Of Your Aim
Is 
What Truly Matters!

Is The Goal, Heaven?!
Is The Goal, Hell?!

Walking Right On The Wrong Side!?
What Is The Point Of That?
Get Out Of The Wrong
And 
Walk Right In The Right Light!
To Jesus Christ
Strive To Be A Delight!

Home Truths ...

Heed The Shepherd's Call!
Just Because The Building Has A Steeple
Does Not Make Its Congregants 
The Living God's Holy People!
Jesus Christ Leads Willingly Obedient Sheep
Who Know And Recognize Their Need!

Truth Cannot Turn Corners!
Truth Is A Straight Line!

A Lie Is A Lie Is A Lie!
A Lie Is A Side-Winder!
It Can Go Any-Which-Way!

Light Does Not Have A Shadow!
Out Of Darkness
Into Light
Is 
The Command Of The Good Lord
If We Will Sin Honestly Fight!

The End Always Comes ...

Live Each Day As Though It is Our Last
Because
Tomorrow Is Not Promised!
All We Have Is Today
So
Let Today Be The Totality Of Our Mission
For We Know Not If Tomorrow
The Benediction Will Be Said Over Our Head!
Brethren, We Could All Be Dead!

If We Are Honest
We Will Speak Truth In

PRAYER:

Father,

Forgive Me My Sin!

I Will Be Honest!

Yesterday, I Knew What I Was Doing!

I Did Not Seek To Know

What Followed Life's Equal Sign

I Just Thought ...

Life Is Just For Living!

But, Lord ... Today!

Thank You For Today!

Today

I See The Error Of My Old Ways!

I Know It Is You That I Have Offended!

I Take Full Responsibility For My Walk

And

I, Repentant

Fall On Your Mercy!

Lord, I Acted Really Stupid!

I Am Sorry!

Forgive Me!

Help Me To Walk Right!

Help Me Not To Look Around!

Help Me Not To Look Back

But

To Look Up To My Lord

The Author

The Finisher Of My Now Faith

And

Help Me To Reach For The Mark

Of The High Calling

To Soul Salvation

Leaving The Dross Of The World Behind

No Matter Who For More Fun

Is Loudly, Loudly, Bawling And Calling!

Jesus Christ Is My Shepherd

And

With Him Leading Me

I Know I Shall Never Want!

Thank You, Lord

For The Grace

And

I Bless You For The Faith!

Lord,

Keep Me Faithful Unto Death

Is

My Heart's Earnest Plea

And

I Ask Humbly

For

Unmerited Favor

In Jesus Christ's Holy Name!

Grant Me The Victory

Over Sin, Death, The Grave

And

Hell!

I Love You

And

I Sincerely Desire To Do As You Will!

AMEN.

SIN: Saintly Sinners!?!

Sin Was 
Sin Is
Standing
Arrogant
Proud
Aggressive
Bold
Apparently Needing No Cure
... Disguised ...
In A Robe Of Spirituality
Last Week
Yesterday
This Morning 
Right Now ... For Sure!

The Scripture That Lent Sin Its Standing
- Not In The Street
But Inside The Church Door -
Is 
Being Judiciously Suppressed
And
Human Laws And Traditions
Ideas Ideals
Speculations Suppositions
What If's 
We Need

And

I-Feel
Are Correspondingly Elevated
And
Aggrandized
And
Glorified
With The Sorry Outcome Being That
Man, Himself
Is Supreme
And
Almighty God Is Not The One
On Whom Fallen Man For Redemption
Should Lean!

And We See On The News Reel:

Fraud

Murder

Abounding Debasing Iniquity

Manifest Corruption

Necromancy

Necrophilia

Pedophilia

And

Peotr Is Cecilia!

SCORE:

Almighty God Given The Rout!

Satan In Triumph Giving The Shout!
A Win For Sin!
Hell In View!
Repentant Sinner: Look Out!

But ... 

The Truth Must Be Told! 

Lying Eyesight Is Bold!

Prophecy

- History In Advance - 

Must 

- On Schedule -

Plainly Unfold!

Truth Cannot Lie! 

Wisdom Cannot Die! 

Sorrow For Sin Must Cry! 

The Redeemed To Heaven Will Fly!

We Have Options ...

Jesus Christ Made A Way! 

Man Must Make A Choice:

Heaven For Free

Or

Hell To Pay!

Satan

Or

The Savior!

Only One Will Rejoice! 

The Good News ...

Sin Is Standing Tall

But

Not For Long!

Jesus Christ
Is 
Coming! 

There Will Be The Harvest Ball!

Judgment Is Coming! 

Please Don't Miss The-Way-To-Freedom Call! 

Note Well ...

No Matter For Whom You Stand

All Mankind
- Redeemed And Accursed -

Shall Before Jesus Christ The Righteous

- In Willing Worship -

Fall

Because

The Sin Problem 
Is 
Already Solved!

Sinners In Saintly Garb

Cannot The Creator Fool!

All That They Are Doing

Is

Presenting Themselves

As Satan's Tools!

Look To The Lord

All Ye Who Trust The Word

And

In Jesus Christ Believe

And

Walk In The Straight Way

And

Do Not Give Unto Satan

Any Free Play!

From Willful Sin

And

Proudly Bold Sinners

Please, Please, Please

Stay Far Away!

The Beauty Of The Lord ...!

He Had No Form Or Comeliness
That One Should Desire Him
But Within
Is 

The Beauty Of The Lord
And
We Are To Become Like Him!

Man Looks At The Outward Appearance
But, God
God Looks Ever At The Heart
And This Should Make Our Task Clear
And
From His Ways
We Should Never Depart!

Beautiful Skin ...

Outward Beauty Is Skin Deep!
Against A Quiet And Gentle Spirit
There Is No Law!
Outward Beauty
Having Flaws
Fades
But
Inner Beauty
Is 

The Perennial Joy To Behold
For
The Spirit Of The Lord Indwelling
Makes The Heart ... Gold!

The Beauty Of The Lord

Is

His Character:

His Love 

His Joy

His Peace

His Rest

His Grace

His Faith

His Mercy

His Giving 

His Forgiving 

His Blessing Spirit 

His Heart

His Holiness

Beautiful Savior ...

The Savior

Is

Not Beautiful 

To Those Who See No Profit
In The Gifts That He Bears! 

The Savior Is Not Seen As Beautiful

Because
Their Eyes Are Blinded
By Ephemera
And
Their Ears Blocked To Loving Entreaty
So That They Don't Believe
The Goodness That He Shares!

The Fact Of The Matter ...

Beauty Is In The Eye Of The Beholder!
Beauty Is By Utility!
If I Don't See A Purpose
That Adds To
Aka Blesses Me
Then Your Beauty
To Me
Is Sheer Futility!

You Serve No Purpose!

Such, Then

Is 

The Christ
To Those With The Spirit Of
The Scribes And The Pharisees
The Jewish Leaders
And

The Disciple Turned Traitor Judas
In The Time When Jesus Walked The Earth!

The Proud Were Looking For A Bright King
A Caped Conqueror!
A Loud Leader!
A Lavish Lord!

They Got, Instead
A Calm Commoner
A Helpful Healer
A Teaching Preacher
A Ready Feeder
A Spirit-Filled Crusader
A Change Agent
Who Did Their Hopes Dash
Because, Because, Because
He Wasn't Into Power
And
He Had No Bright Baubles
AndHe Wasn't Slinging The Ready

Aka The Cash!

They Were Spiritual Prostitutes!

Jesus Christ Rejected The Position Of Pimp!

Ergo ...

There Was No Meeting Of The Minds
And
There Was The Drawing Of The Battle Lines!

Swords Were Drawn!

Axes Were Ground!

And

Demons On A Mission
Amongst The Brethren
Were More Than A Few
And
The Lamb ... Silent
Was Slaughtered
In Time
And
On Cue!

However ...

Those Who Looked
Who Longed
For His Appearing
Saw His Sacrifice
And
Cried!

Those Who Looked Not For Him
But Another
Gnashed Their Teeth
And

Adroitly Lied!

Know This For Sure ...

At Time's Coming End 

There Will Be No Fence-Riders

No Hangers-Ons
No Drugged-Out Groupies
And
Only Those Who Love The Marred Face
Hands Feet
And
Spear-Imprinted Side
Will Be Rejoicing!

Everybody Else
Will Be Looking To Hide!

Jesus Christ

Loves His Little Children

And

He Perfumes

Every Heart-Felt Prayer

With

The Fragrance Of Innocent Blood

Spilt

And

Packaged

In

Redeeming Love!

Brethren ...

Almighty God
Looks Not At Our Outward Appearance
So
How About Our
Taking A Verse From The Good Book!
How About Our
Taking A Bold Look At His Heart
And
Then Bidding Sin
Self
And
Satan
From Our Hearts
To Depart!?!

Is Jesus Christ

The Righteous One

** Beautiful **

In. Your. Eyes!?!

*******

Dear Jesus,

Just A Short Note To Say:

You Fill My Eyes!

I Love You!

Your Child Well-Beloved
