LIFE IN TIME: From Time ... To Eternity

My time
Tea Time

On your time
By this time

In Time
High Time
Time to go
Time to say
Goodbye

High time
Low life

God's time
New life

Holy time
Quitting time

Me time
To live
time to die
to plant
to pluck up what was planted
Time to kill
Time to help
Time to heal
Time on target

Life Time
Crying Time

Time flies ... when you are having fun
Time slows ... when you're having none

What do you know?
All in all
You need to know
In the Beginning - Alpha knows
At the End - Omega shows
No mystery
God is The Lord
End of The Story
Home to His Glory!

Life is a clock you cannot stop

Your clock will stop - how when you don't know

Appointed Time - your shop doth close

Then you will wear open-backed travel clothes

But

Having died with Love For Jesus because of Grace

Mercy

Faith

You will Wake Up on The Great Day

Glorified

To Rise Up ... Immortalized

To Meet Him In The Air

Along with The Saints of All Times

To Take Up For Eternity

In His Presence

Your Reserved Place!

Alone Time

Spent

With The Lord Jesus

Will Never End In Disgrace!

JESUS CHRIST: Do You Know What You Have!?!

Justice

Humility

Purity

Patience

Love

The Standard Of Righteousness

The Traits Of Character ... Necessary

IF

We Will Stride ... Blessed Forever

In The Courts Of Glorious Heaven Above!

*--*--*--*--*

The School Of Jesus Is In Session! 

The Students Are Assembled For Prayers
And
To Give Praise

To Build Character

And

To Learn To Walk In Wise Ways!

The Great Teacher, Himself
Has Set For Man The Example
And
Those Who Will To See Life Everlasting
Do Not With Soul Salvation
Ever Have To Gamble!

On Any Given Day ...

As With All Things Good For Man
There Is A Naysayer!
As With All Things Right That
Bring Light To Man
There Is A False-Oath Taker!

Brady Brix-Stone Was A Very Wicked Person
And, That Dear Brethren
Was Something Upon Which
Everybody In The Know Could Agree
But
To The Uninitiated In The Classroom
He Was High-Brow Elegant
Fastidious Noble
A Man Of The Book
And
With The Clothing To Match!

Brady Brix-Stone Considered Himself An Artist
And
He Liked To Sign His Name As
B B S
With Many Flourishes!

On An Aside ...

The People Who Had Felt The Sting Of His Public Excesses

Have Saddled Him With 

A B. B. S. Appellation 

Which Is Not At All Polite!

Knowing Where You Are Going ...

It Should Be Noted Here That
The Students In The School
- The Committed-To-Christ Students In The School -
Were Not There To Play Games!
They Were On The Upward Way
And
Marching To Zion!

They Were Using One-Way Tickets To Glory!

By Contrast
Brady Brix-Stone Had Taken To Making Friends
And
Influencing People
To Improve His Bottom Line

And 

To Expand His Waistline
And
No Surprise There

He Felt That This Was Compatible With His Mission Of 

Being A Missionary On A Mission!
He Could Not See That He Was The Whole Point Of Salvation
Completely Missing!

Don't Get Me Wrong ...

There's Nothing Wrong With Money!
It's The Love Of Money That Makes Men's Hearts Grow Cold!
However

There's Much Wrong With Money
If
It Causes Your Love For The Lord Christ To Wax Cold
And
Causes You To Depart Truth
And
To That Serpent Satan ... Sell
Your Already Bought And Redeemed Soul!

So That You'd Know ...

Brady Brix-Stone Was Normally Nasty On Monday And Tuesday
Naturally Nice On Wednesday And Thursday
And
Downright Syrupy
On Friday Saturday And Sunday
As This Was When The People Had Lil' Change In Their Pockets That
He Could Syphon Off!

There Was An Old Teacher
- A True Man Of God -
Who Had A Burden For Souls
Who Was Willing Warrior For The Lord!

He Was Brady's Uncle On His Mother's Side
Once Removed!
Everybody Called Him Faithful Fred
That Is ... Everybody Except Brady!

Heads Up, People ...

Our Greatest Adversaries
At The Time Of The End
Will Be Those Of Our Own Households
Our Families!

Faithful Fred Taught Truth
With Compassion
In Love
For The Love Of God In Christ
In Season
Out Of Season
For Doctrine
For Reproof
Until That Wastrel, Brady, Succeeded ... Magnificently
In Turning The People 

- Who Should Have Treasured His Labors For
The Eternal Kingdom -
Well And Truly Against Him!

Things Got So Bad That

Faithful Fred Started To Doubt
Never His Jesus
Never The Word Of Truth
Never His Salvation
But
He Started Doubting His Usefulness
To The Cause Of Christ!

Brady Was In His Glee
In His Cups ... He Was An Undercover Drunk
And
He Was Frenetically Caressing His Golden Brown Bank Book!
His Future ... Now Assured
Was Sound!

You Need To Know That ...

When We As Ingrates
Despise
The Blessings That Almighty God
Gives Into Our Hands
To Accrue To The Saving Of Our Own Souls
He Removes Them!
He Permits Them To Be Removed!
They Are Taken Away!!

Case In Point : Enoch Of Bible Fame!

On A Quiet And Misty Day

Old And Faithful Fred Closed His Eyes
For His Long Sleep:
He Went To Sleep In The Faith Of His Lord Jesus
Assured By His Maker That
Those Who Die In The Lord
Will Rise Up To The Lord
To Live Forever With The Lord!
He Went To Sleep At Peace!

Not Long Thereafter ...

Truth Was Cast Down Into The Street!

Brady Brix-Stone Came Down Like A Ton Of Bricks
On The Side Of Sin
And
The Word Was Soon Heard:

If Only Faithful Fred Were Here! 

If Only Truth For Today Was Heard! 

If Complacency

And 

Ingratitude

Were Not Found At Our Core 

We Would Not Now Be Longing

For Things To Be As They Were Before!

Too Late Shall Be The Cry ...

Let Us Take Heed To Ourselves

And Not Our Lord God Defy!

When We Despise Truth
We Will Suffer Under Lies!

Looking Good Doesn't Mean Doing Good!
Speaking Truth Doesn't Mean Living Right
Or Walking In The Light Of Life
The Living God Eternal Ever To Delight!

Do You Appreciate What You Have!?!

With Jesus Christ The Lord
We Always Know What It Is That We Have
And
What We Shall Get
When Where And How! 

We Already Know That Our Gifts Are From Christ Jesus!

I Beseech You, Brethren ...

Let Us No Err Like Judas
And
Sell Eternal Gold
To Buy Destructible Silver!

SIGNS OF THE TIMES: The Confab ...!

World History
Current Events
And
KJV Bible Prophecy
Were Indulging In A Big Ole Confab!

Revisionist History Had Been Asked To Vamoose
Because
He Wanted To Eat Fabulously
Whilst The Others Would Have To Pay 

The Unwise Man's Tab!

To Set The Table Fresh
And
Bring You Up To Scratch
I Must Tell You Plain That
Revisionist History Is A Bold-Faced

Long-Winded Liar
And
One Who Has Absolutely No Shame!

World History Is Often Written
From The Perspective Of The Conqueror
And
I Should Make You Very Aware That
Satan Is The Master With Real-Real Ink 

Writing His Version Of Truth In There!

But ...

That Is Not Our Story Today!

No Matter What Happens In This World
The Living Word Prophesied It
And
No Matter What The Devil Does
He Cannot By Angry Strength Or Cutting Wit 

Hide It!

Prophecy ... Simply Put
Is
World History Written In Advance
Because
The Lord God Holy
Leaves Nothing To Chance!

It's Written For Our Warning And Education
Upon Whom The End Of The World Is Come!

Only God Can Tell You
When This Dying Earth
Waxing Old Like A Garment
Is Dead, Dead

And 

Done!

The Lord God Eternal Does Nothing
Without First Telling His Servants The Prophets
And
We All Would Do Well
If We Will Give Heed To Read
The Preserved Writing Of It!

There Is Nothing New Under The Sun!

What Is ... Was
And
What Was ... Shall Be!

Signs Of The Times Are Everywhere
And
If We ... Being Wise
Will Consult The Word Of Truth
And
Trust In
And
Lean On The Lord Of Life
We Shall Know That
We Have Nothing To Fear!
Almighty God Is In Control!

The Prince Of The Power Of The Air
Isn't Going To Be For Much Longer
Taking Up Space
Using Up Good Time
And
Whispering Evil In Unwary Men's Ears!

The Fact Of The Matter ...

Rewriting The Bible
Will Not Render Prophecy Untrue!

Adding And Or Subtracting From The Word
Will Only Cause A Curse From Almighty God
To Land Upon Those Who Did Not
Their Due Diligence Do!

Burning Books Will Not Change History
And
Burning Or Beheading Innocent People 

Will Not Make A Lie True!

Let Your Steps Be Ordered ...

Going To The Savior Redeemer

- The Lord Christ -
Is 

The Only True And Safe Way To Live
Because
He Is The Author Of Life
And
He, It Is
That Will Cause The Martyrs
And
The Faithful Dead Again To Live!

That Is The Sure Word Of Prophecy

The Secure Promise Given!

It Is Often Necessary And Good
To Do A Confab
To See How Time Is Tending
And
In Wisdom
- Freely Given To All So Desiring -
Accept That Jesus Christ The Righteous
Is
The Sacrificed One
Who For Our Soul's Salvation
Already Paid The Living-Dying Man's Tab!

What Are You Eating!?!

Is It The Gospel Truth!?!

What's Eating You!?!

Do You Really Know

That

It's Not A Devilish Lie!?!

**--**--**--**--**

The Living Word Of Almighty God

Stands Sure ... Forever!!

The Living God Is Not Into Fashion Nor Trends + PRAYER: Father, I See My Need!

The Word Of The Lord
Is
Sealed And Settled In Heaven
So I See No Good Reason Why I Shouldn't
Take The Word Of The Living God Literally!

You Must Be Mad!

Times Change!
People Change ...!

... But The Living God Is The Same
Yesterday
Today And Forever!

The Eternal God 
Is Not 
A Man That He Should Lie
Or Be Fickle
Or Be Driven And Tossed 
According To The Winds Of Change
On A Stormy Sea!

Whatever!
You Need To Wise Up
And Get With The Program! 

Physician!

Heal Thyself! 

The Eternal Word Says In Luke 4:4

And

In Luke 8:11, It Says 

Seeds Can't Change!
An Apple Is An Apple
A Pear Is A Pear
An Ackee Is An Ackee
A Hog Plum Is a Hog Plum! 

Yada, Yada! 

You're Obviously Not Keeping Up With The Times!
I Have A Code Word For You: Genetic Engineering!
Everything ... Including Seeds
Can Be "Fixed"
To Do More
Change Self
Improve Others! 

I'm Very Sorry For You!
Who Needs A Chameleon For A God!?!
Who Needs Fruit Punch For The Gospel!?!

You're Worshipping At The Altar Of Change And Decay

But
We Of The Household Of Faith

Know And Accept That

Change And Decay

Sin And Sinners

And

The Master Chameleon Himself

Are Headed For The Lake Of Fire! 

Simply Put

You Have An Unsettled Mind

And

An Unsettled Mind Is Dangerous To Self And Others
And
The Need For Constant Change
Instant Gratification
Thrills
And
Never Ending Feels
Places You Squarely In Satan's Domain
Primed And Packaged
And
Tied Up In Shiny Chains!

You Say That You Believe
But, Then 

You Model The Fact That
You Have Not Come To
The Conclusion Of The Whole Matter!

If You Truly Believed Almighty God's Living Word
You Would Know Not To Mess With It
Adding And Subtracting From It
To Appease Your Carnal Monster!

You'd Know That There Is A Curse Attached 

To Adding And Subtracting From The Word!

Look, Bayley!

I'm Not Here To Give You A Hard Time!

I Just Wish That You'd Recognize

What A Friend We Have In Jesus

Who Does Our Griefs And Burdens Bear!

I Sincerely Wish That You Will Come To Know

What A Privilege We Have

Because

We Can Take Our Burdens

Our Sins

Our Sorrows

Our Hurts

Our Shame

With Just A Humble Offering

To The Living Lord ... In Prayer!

How Dare You Say That I'm Proud!?!

What!?! 

Excuse Me!?!

All I Said To You Was

Take A Humble Offering Of Prayer To God!

Oh, Never Mind!

Bayley, Pride Got Satan Cast Out Of Heaven! 

Please Don't Let Pride Keep You Out Of Heaven! 

I'm Not Proud! 

I'm Not ... PROUD! 

I Don't Have To Tell You That You're Proud! 

You Know Of A Surety That You're Proud

But

I Am Beseeching You

To Humble Yourself Under The Mighty Hand Of God

So That He Will Lift You Up

In His Time

In His Way

According To His Sovereign Will For You!

There Is No Blessing

- Just A Hard Fall -

For Those With A Proud And Haughty Spirit!

You Know That Our Creator Humbled Himself

Giving Up His Glory

His Honor

His Praise

To Come Down To Our Level

- Your Level - 

To Raise Us Up To His Level
And

We Should Be Able To Humble Ourselves Before Him

Because Of His Sacrifice

And 
Reach Out And Take The Extended Hand

Which Did All The Work

So That We May Reap The Rapturous Sweets!

I Like Sweet Things!

Jesus Christ Is Offering Us 
The Best Kind That We're Told Off

And

Greatest Of All

He Has A Myriad Precious And Sweet Blessings 
Prepared For Us That

Man's Eyes Have Not Yet Seen

Nor Has Man's Ears Ever Heard The Story!

I Like New Things And Different Experiences!

Girl, Let Me Tell You Something! 

If You Truly Want New ... And Exclusive Things

And

Different ... Extraordinary

Life-Changing

Mind-Expanding

Spirit-Ennobling Experiences

Which Lead To That Place Where The Eternal God Resides

- Who Created Us And Painted The Rainbow

Which Stands Above His Throne

In The Land Where Glory Rolls

And

The Streets Are Paved With Purest Gold

And

Gold Crowns Are Every-Day Wear

Where Care Cannot Live There

And

Mansions Are In The Father's House

Where, For Us Who Will Jesus' Joy Share

Are Being Prepared - 

I Implore You To Try Jesus Christ

The Joy Of Living

The Richest And Most Loving Caring

Giving Blessing Friend

You Can Ever Know!

It Will Cost You
But
The Return On The Investment Is Immeasurable!

He Sees Everything! 

He Feels Everything! 

He Knows Everything

And

He's Always Available

Always Present!

I Need A Friend Like That!

So Did I

And

I Found Him

And

So Can You!

Give Him A Call! 

Utter A ... 

... Humble Prayer ...! 

PRAYER:

Father,

I Now Truly See My Need!

I Need You! 

Please Help Me To Humble Myself

So That I May Arrive At That Place

Where I Am Never Alone

Where I Am Blessed And Loved

Where I Am Daily Face To Face

With Christ ... My Savior

In Whose Name

Because Of Present And Available Grace

And

Always Free Mercy

I ... Now Humble ... Do Gladly Plead! 

AMEN. 

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: If Sinners Only Knew What Saints Of God Know

When He Was Born
He Was Seen To Be A Beautiful Child
And
When He Was Dedicated To The Lord
He Was Given A Beautifully Simple Name
Easy To Remember
A Breeze To Spell
Replete With Meaning:

Reach After God By Faith

As He Went Through The Early Life Stages
And
Grew Into His Majority
That Is ... Reached The Age Of Consent
The One Thing He Had Daily Heard From His Loving Parents

Marvellous Grace

And

Merciful Powers 

Was

Expect Great Things From God!

Reach After God By Faith
Having Always Lived To Expect Great Things From God
Became A Man Of Faith
And
Set Up His Own Household With The Very Homely Looking
But
Oh, So Kind Lady

Grace Is Free

Odd Arrangements Call Forth Comment ...

The Proud And Pretty Girls
And
The Available Painted Ladies
Were Not Well Pleased
And
The Whole Village Knew It!

Faith And Grace, For Short

Were Contented In The Lord
Because
Jesus Christ Was In The Family
And
They Had A Happy, Happy, Home!

I Should Tell You Here That
The Adversary Of Souls
Hated Everything And Everybody
Associated With
Called By
Attached To
Or
Smelling Of Jesus Christ's Faith And Grace
And
With An Unmitigated Hatred
He Hated, Hated, Hated
Reach After God By Faith
And
His Wife, Grace Is Free!

Lil' Things Started Happening!

At First
The Occurrences Were Considered Happenstance!

This Is Life: Things Happen!
No Biggie!

But ...

As We All Know
- Having Previously Recognized The Hand Of Satan
As He Tormented The Lord Christ
From The Cradle To The Grave -
Evil-Doing ... Just Like Hatred ... Escalates
Because, Well
More Is More
And
More Is Always Better!

Soon ...

What Had Been Petty Annoyances
Started Shaping Up To Be Real Problems
At Least In The Eyes Of The Unbelieving Onlookers!

When You Know Truth

You Can Always Recognize Lie!

When You Live Love

You Can Always Recognize Hate!

When You Don't Have A Savior

Satan Satisfies!

When You Don't Have Salvation

You Just Live Like One Living Just To Die!

Fancy Ladies ... Dishabille

- Those Felonious Minions Of The Fraud -

Took To Following Faith Around His Property
At His Work
At Church
When He Was With Grace

And
When He Walked Alone
And

A Proud And Pretty Girl Got Him Fired From His Job!

A Tree Fell On The Roof Of Their Bedroom!
Three Mortgage Payments ... Already Paid
Were Suddenly Missing!
The Sewer Line Burst!
A Truck Ran Into The Corner Of The House!

Grace Is Free Then Lost Her Job 
- For Cause -
For Absenteeism And Bad Attitude
The Day After Winning
The Employee Of The Year Award For
Perfect Attendance
Product Knowledge
Customer Service
Willingness To Serve
Best Attitude
And
On-Time Performance!

A Painted Lady Got Faith Arrested For Doing A Thing
Something
Anything
Nothing!

You See
Their Problems Came About 

Because

They Were Not Into The Secular And The Worldly

But

Into The Sacred And The Heavenly!

Faith And Grace
Were In Thought, Word, And Deed

Friends Of The True, Holy, Living, Eternal, Faithful God!

They Were Friends Of Satan's Enemy

And

In The Warped Mind Of The Arch-Fiend

This Betrayal Could Not Be Allowed To Go Unchallenged!

This Betrayal Must On All Counts Be Answered

And

The Destroyer Was Well On His Way

To Accomplishing His Nefarious Goals

Or

So. He. Thought!

Servants Of The Lord ...

When You Live A Life Of Love

Trusting In The Faithful God Of Love Above

Enduring All Things Against You As Badges Of Honor

You Do Not Before The Damned One

Bow Down 
And 
In Fright ... Cower!

You Stand Up For Jesus!

You Live For The King!

You Follow The Shepherd

And

Trust In Him Moment By Moment

Day By Day

Hour By Hour!

The World
- That Is The Neighbors -

Was Watching ... Wondering

Amazed At The Strength

The Character

The Faithfulness

The Endurance

The Joy

The Peace

Exhibited By These Two Pillars Of 
The Great And Coming King!

The Proper Use Of Knowledge Is Power ...

If Only They Knew That

Great Expectation Is Not Just A Book Or A Song!

If Only They Knew That

Grace Is Free Is A Promise Of Almighty God

And

Not An Access To A Free-Sinning Bong!

Truth Be Told ...

Reach After God By Faith
Lived Out His Name
And
Inculcated Into His Life The Anthem 
- Expect Great Things From God -
Daily Sung To Him By Both His Parents
From His Birth Even Until Now!

Faith Leaned On Available Grace
Which Is Always Free
And
Available Grace Held Unto Free Mercy!

The Lesson Taught
The Lesson Learnt ...

Reach After God By Faith
And
Grace Is Free
Knew Truth And Understood That
As Faithful Followers Of The Lord Christ That
Followers Follow ... AFTER ... The Shepherd Faithfully!
Sheep Who Are Known Followers
Do Not Lead The Shepherd Who Is The Leader!

Reach After God By Faith
And
Grace Is Free
Showed To All Observing Them That
Grace Is Indeed Free When By Faith
Believers
Reach After God To Accept The Hand Of Hope
The Hand Of Help
To Accept The Gift Of Love
The Gift Of Life
From The Lord Of Life
The Giver Of Salvation!

Brethren,

Satan Only Goes After Those Who Are Not His
Or More Properly Stated
Those Who 
- By Word And Deed -
Belong To The Lord Christ!

When We Accept That Jesus Christ The Righteous
Is
Our Only Answer
Our Only Hope
Our Only Help
Our God
Our Lord
Our King
Our Savior
Our Redeemer
Our Shepherd
Our Peace
Our Rest
The Only One By Whom The Believer 
Is 
Truly Blessed
Satan Cannot
- Will Not - 
Win In The War That He, Roaring
Is 
Angrily, Aggressively, Waging
Against The One That The Lord Christ
By Innocent Spilt Blood 
Is 
Saving!

Trust Jesus Christ To Deliver
Because
He Has By His Death, Burial, Resurrection
Ascension
And
Intercession For You
Has Already Delivered You!
All You Need To Do Is Open Your Eyes
And
Your Heart
To Recognize That Fact!

Jesus Christ Saves!
