Faithful To Christ's Cause!

Delivered From Temptation
And
Reserved For Judgment
Are Children Of The Family Of Man!
Delivered From Temptation
And
Reserved For Judgment
Are Residents Of The Village Catch As Catch Can!
Delivered From Temptation
And
Reserved For Judgment
Are As Different As Different Can Be
Because
Delivered From Temptation Is A Faithful Christian
But
Reserved For Judgment Is A Miscreant
Aka His Ways Were Decidedly Ungodly!

Let Us Be Straight Here Because
Being Bent Just Will Not Sell:

Faithful Christianity Is No Magic Bullet!

Faithful Christianity Is No Easy Sell!

Faithful Christianity Requires Christ-Led Effort
Decision-Making 
And
Enduring And Surrendered Will
Whereas Ungodly Behavior Is Inherent
In The Fallen Man
Who Is Assuredly Bound For Hell!

Let Me Share ...

Reserved For Judgment
Had All The Opportunities That
Delivered From Temptation Had!
Reserved For Judgment Thought That

• Getting Up From Sitting Down Was Too Hard
• Standing Up From Lying Down Was Like Walking On Glass Shards
• Turning Away From Tradition Was Like Forgetting To Eat A Meal

And

• Refusing To Take What Was Available For The Taking Was Like Using Bamboo To Cut Steel

It Wasn't Going To Happen!

In Short
Reserved For Judgment Preferred
The Path Of Least Resistance
And
He Could Not, Would Not Abide
That, That ... Whatever He Was
Delivered From Temptation
Who Was A Real, Real, Idiot
Under A Spell
Because
He Preferred The High Road
The Narrow Path
The Strait Way
The Blessings Of Heartfelt Prayer
The Truth For Today
Doing Good
Being Helpful
Trusting The Unseen God
Believing That Jesus Christ Saves
Trusting The Guidance Of The Holy Spirit
And
Accepting The Protection Of The Holy Angels
As Opposed To Loving The Bright Lights
And
The Thrills And Heady Spills Of
Life On The Broadway
With All The Charms Of Self-Aggrandizement
Felt Feelings Explored ... Never Ignored
Self-Service
Baubles And Beads Of Strange Worship
And
Foreign Creeds
Strange Fire
Dances With The Bold Liar
Hearing What You Want To Hear
Doing Whatever You Want To Do
And
Believing Without A Single Doubt That
The Impersonal God Who Made You
Had No Choice But To Save You
No Matter What You Thought, Said, Did
Lived, Practiced, Explored ... Or Ignored!

Delivered From Temptation
Believed In And Wore
The Whole Armor Of God
Which Reserved For Judgment Thought Was
Seriously Unfashionable
And
Clunky ... A Total Waste Of Time
Which Was His Touted Reason
For Not Wearing His
And
For Taking The Position To Leave It Off
To Leave It Behind
When He Was Playing Kittie
To Satan, The Big Dog!

 Scoffers, Scoff ...

Delivered From Temptation
Had A Conversation One Day
Where Reserved For Temptation
Was Being Exceedingly Rude
And
Was Laughing At Him For Wearing
The Helmet Of Salvation!

Whilst Walking Away From The Desire
To Utter A Scathingly Cutting Remark
He Heard Lil' Searching For Truth's Voice:

Delivered From Temptation
Would You Please Answer Me!?!
Why, Indeed, Do You Wear That Helmet
When It Makes Things Uncomfortable For Thee!?!

Searching For Truth, I Will Answer You Plain!
The Helmet Is Uncomfortable
But 
It Is Saving Me And My Brain!

The Helmet Is, Indeed, The Helmet Of Salvation
Because 
It Protects My Mind So That I May Decide
What To Hear
What To See
What To Smell
What To Eat
What To Speak

What To Feel

What To Do

Where To Go

What And Who To Ignore

When To Share

How Not To Be Ensnared

To Hold The Lord In Godly Fear
And

To Habitually Repair To Prayer!

If I Do Not Wear The Helmet
A Satanic Blow To The Head
Renders Me Dead
Out Of The Running For Salvation
And Henceforth 

Lands Me Amongst The Forever Damned!

I Have Two Eyes, Two Ears, Two Nostrils
And
Only One Mouth!
I Have Two Hands, Two Knees, Two Feet
And
Only One Heart!

I Have One Brain ... To Make Decisions!
I Have One Heart ... With Which To Love!
I Have One Mouth ... With Which To Speak The Truth
To My Brethren
About The Holy God's Faithful Love!

Personal Comfort Should Not Be About Appearance!
Personal Comfort Should Be About The Repose Of The Soul!
Personal Comfort Should Be About Living For Christ Jesus
And
Getting Home To Mount Zion
To Be With Him And With Those
Who Shall Never, Ever, Ever Grow Old!

Vanity Is The Vexation Of The Spirit!
Vanity Excludes One From Association With
The Holy Spirit Of Truth
Who Leads One Into Eternal Light
And
Removes One From The Clutches Of The Prince Of Darkness
Who Takes Satanic Pleasure
The Soul Of Fallen Man To Forever Blight!

I Have Chosen Jesus Christ The Righteous
For My Personal Portion!
I Have Chosen Eternal Life: This Is No Feel-good Notion!

I Have Chosen To Be A Child Of The Father
And
I Shall Escape The Lost Soul's Final Grave!

I Choose Not To Be Sin, Self And Satan's Personal Body Slave! 

I Do Not Speak With Pride Or Presumption!
I Choose, Instead, To Humble Myself 
Before The Lord Of Life!
I, With Deliberation, Am Walking Home To Hill Zion
And
I, Being Faithful
Shall Escape The Final Strife!

Searching For Truth, I Beseech You
Get Yourself Garbed In The Armor Of God!
It Is Guaranteed To Get One Safely Through
The Battle For Life
And
Will Protect One Even If One Dies The Death Of
This Mortal Life!

Those Who Live And Die In The Lord Christ
Shall Rise Up To Live Eternally With Jesus Christ
The Lord Of Life!

Thank You, Delivered From Temptation!
Thank You For Sharing The Truth!
Life, Indeed, Is Not About Looks
Possessions, Passions Or Bodily Comfort!
It Is About Soul Perfection
And I Am Asking For Your Help!
In Jesus Christ's Holy Name
Please, Won't You Lead Me To Calvary!?!

Indeed, Dear One!
The Way Is Hard!
The Battle Raging!
The Lord Is Strong!
The Promise Sure!
The Devil Is Lost
And
We, Faithful To Christ's Cause
Shall Receive The Promised, Sure

And

Glorious
Great Reward!

Come On, Searching For Truth!
Let Us Proceed!

Satan Is in Life The Named And Notable FraudSo Let Us Walk Enduringly With The Savior
Our Dear Lord
Faithfully, Enduringly, And In One Accord!

IMAGINE THAT: Facts, Faith, Doubt And Decisions!

Faith Does Not Utilize Imagination!

Imagination Is In The Realm Of Doubt!

Faith Gives One Hope To Trust

And

Doubt Instructs One Not To Hope!!!

Jesus Christ

Is 

The Way
The Truth
The Light
The Life Of Every Man!

Jesus Christ Calls Us ... His Believing Children
Salt Of The Earth
Light Of The World!

We Are What We Are
Because

Of Who He Is

What He Has Done

And

What He Is Doing

And

We Are Called To Tell The World The Truth
The Good News Gospel Story
In Season

And
Out Of Season

Aka Whether It Pleases Or Annoys!

Did You Know ...

Man ... Fallen Man
Has No Power To Resist The Word Of God!

The Word Of God, Brethren
Again, Is Truth, Light And Life
But
Alas And Alack
Man ... Being A Free Moral Agent
With Free Will
With Free Choice
Has The Power To Reject The Blessing That Is
The Living, Eternal, Word Of 

The Holy, Eternal, Faithful

Blessing, Just, Almighty God!

Let's Go Deep
And 

See What We Shall Reap:

Light Illuminates
Light Blinds

Salt Preserves
Salt Destroys

The Way Blesses
The Way Curses

Life Prospers
Life Bankrupts

Truth Uplifts
Truth Casts Down

If We Look Closely

Carefully

Thoughtfully

We Shall Observe Perspective

And

We Shall Know That Decisions

- Personal Decision -

Determines Outcomes!

I Look ... You Can't See!

You Look ... I Can't See!

Look, Again

And

See That

I See For Me

And

You See For You

And

There Is No Created Being That Can

Make A Fatal Decision For Anybody

Be It Me Or You!

In All This, Brethren
How Do You Stand!?!
Where Do You Belong!?!
To Whom Do You Belong!?!
For Whom Do You Sing Your Life's Song!?!

Are You Amongst The Naysayers

Or

Are You Amongst The Called

The Few

The Chosen

The Brave

The Enduring Faithful

Who Will Not To The Ways Of The Fallen World

Cave!?!

Do You Love The Unvarnished Truth Of The Living Word!!

Is The Word Colored By Your Feelings And Desires!!

Do You In The Lord Christ Have Working Faith!?!

Will You Be Amongst The Finally Saved!?!

LIVING SELFISH: Selfless Living

... And In The Trade News Today:

Wanted: God-Given Manhood 

Wanted: God-Given Womanhood

Reward Offered: Self-Gratification

Anybody Want In On That Deal!?!
It Sounds Like A Good One!

Whatever You're Smoking, Barry
You Seriously Need To Stop!

Why!?! Gratification Sounds Good To Me!

Yes! To You 

And All The Other Shallow Dippers On The Planet!

What Do You Mean By That Boldly Blunt Remark!?!
I'm Feeling Kinda Insulted!

You Should!

Okay! Guide Me, Lead Me
Teach Me, Feed Me!

Very Well!
What Do You Know About Self!?!

Let's See:
I, Me, My, Mine, Myself
I Want
I Need
I Desire
Gimme
Gotta Get It
All For Me
None For You!

Well Done!
You Know Your Self, Alright!

What Does Self Share!

Nothing, Nada, Zilch, Bupkis!

How Does Self Move!

In!

How Does Self Rise Up!

Alone!

Who Does Self Look At!?!

Self!

Who Does Self Care For!?!

Self!

Who Does Self Live For!?!

Self!

Who Is Self Willing To Die For!?!

Self!

If It Were Possible, Who Would Self Marry!?!

Self!

How Does Self Meet Its Declared End!?!

Self, Self- ... Destructs!

So, What Picture Do You See Being Painted Here!?!

Self Is Being Painted As Being Truly Selfish!

Unwise!

A Waste Of Time And Energy!

Okay.
So Do You Still Think That
Self-Aggrandizement Is A Suitable Reward
For Surrendering One's God-Given Manhood
One's God-Given Womanhood!?!

Let Me Think For A Moment!

Really!?!

Work With Me!
Please Walk With Me, Patiently:

Self Is Known Selfish!
Self Is A Known Sinner!
Selfishness Is Known Sin!
Sin Transgresses The Law Of Almighty God! 

The Law Of Almighty God IS Immutable!
Self Cannot Change The Law Of Almighty God!
Almighty God Punishes Unrepentant Sinners!
Self Will Never Permit A Known Sinner To Repent!

Without Repentance

There Is No Forgiveness Of, Nor For, Sin! 

Unrepentant Sinners Are Lost! 

Lost Sinners Take A One-way Bath
In The Lake Of Fire! 

The Lake Of Fire Consumes
And That That Is Consumed Cannot Live Again
So, On Careful Examination
And Based Upon The Preponderance Of 

The Evidence Provided And Known True
I, Now, Categorically Declare ... Without Fear
And Without Fear Of Contradiction That
To Surrender One's God-Given Manhood Or Womanhood
- For Self-Gratification -
Is The Height Of Folly Aka Gross Stupidly
Aka Sinful!

Barry!?!

Yes, Brainerd!?!

Couldn't You Have Simply Answered "Yes!" Or "No!?!"

Sure!

So, Why Didn't You!?!

Lasting Effect!

Meaning!?!

Just Telling You Self Is Sinful Is Okay!
Showing You That I Truly Understand

The Sinfulness Of Self
And The Selfishness Of Sin
And Itemizing That I Know And Accept 

Self's Sure Place And Reward
Is Unforgettable Aka Priceless!

Okay! I Get You!

Brethren,

Self Is A False God

And
Truth-Filled Awareness Dulls Self
The Known-Sharp Knife Of Satan 

The Wicked, Wasting, Wily, Fraud!

Self-Aggrandizement Cannot
Will Not
Be Blessed By The Holy God!
Self-Aggrandizement Reaps For Its Proponents
The Known And Published Reward Of
Satan, The Want To Be Worshipped
As The Holy God Fraud!
Do Not His Unwise Ways Laud!

Flip The Script

And

By Your Selfless Living

Bless Jesus Christ The Lord! 

Great, Brethren, Shall Be Your Reward!

SAINTS OF ALMIGHTY GOD AND JESUS CHRIST: One-Weapon Warriors!

Satan Has A Massive Arsenal To Use
Against The Professing Child Of The Holy God
But
Those Who War On The Side Of The Savior
Are One-Weapon Warriors
Against The Known And Raging Enemy Of Souls
The Accuser Of The Brethren
The Sworn And Venomous Enemy Of Jesus Christ Our Savior
 And
Soon Returning King And Lord!

What Is Most Exciting Is That 

The One-Weapon Warrior's Weapon
Can
Shall
Will ... When Properly Utilized
Put The Fear Of Almighty God
In The Black Heart Of Jesus Christ's Known Rabid Enemy!

You See
What Our Adversary Fails To Acknowledge
Accept And Appreciate
Is That Our Weapon Comes Of Love
Includes Love
Prayer
Faith
Blessing
Peace Rest Hope
Help Healing
Direction
Correction
Forgiveness
Salvation
The Opportunity To Confess And Repent Of Known Sin
The Comfort And Correction Of The Holy Spirit
The Protection And Always Good Influence Of The Holy Angels
And
The Imperishable Blessing That Is
Our Lord, God, King
Savior, Redeemer, Friend
Jesus Christ The Righteous
Who For Us His Children Faithful
Eternal Homes Is Preparing!

Put Simply ...

Satan 

Is

Functioning Under Unrelieved
Unrelievable Stress
Whilst The Lord Christ

Is 

Operating Always Eternally To Bless!

The One Offensive Weapon
In The Hand Of The Faithful Saint
Is 

The Two-Edged Sword Of Truth
That Is The Same Whether The Wielder
Is Man, Woman, Child
Elderly Or Raw-Boned Youth!

The Two-Edged Sword Of Truth

Will Withstand Any Adversary
Uphold Every Act Of Righteousness
Shelter Every Saint Of Almighty God And Christ

And
Everyone To Whom Jesus Is Friend!

The Two-Edged Sword Of Truth

Does Not Have Spots!The Two-Edged Sword Of TruthDoes Not Hold Stripes!The Two-Edged Sword Of TruthIs 

As The Solid Rock Of Ages
Which No Charlatan Can Ever Put To Flight!

Truth Be Told ...

Truth May Be Cast Down In The Street
But
Truth Can Never Be Destroyed
And
This Attribute Is What The Devil Despises
And
Is Why Satan Hates So Rabidly
Our Savior, Creator
Jesus Christ The Lord
The True And Ever-Living Holy God!

Heads-Up, Saints ...

See To It That You Wield Your Sword Deliberately!
Satan Cannot Make You
That Cutting Sword Sheath!
Make All Your Cuts With Force 

And
Working Faith
And
You Shall Never Be Called A Living Disgrace!

Let No One Steal Your Joy!
Love Truth!

It's Pure!
It Contains No Alloy! 

And 

Remember That
All Satan's Devices Employed Against

Enduringly-Faithful-To-Christ You 

Are Completely Useless Ploys!

Raise Up Your Banner:

Truth Is A Shield!

Choose Jesus Christ The King

For

 Eternal Joy!!!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Music, Man!

Ah, Music!
Lovely Music!
You Were Designed To Give Praise To The Holy God
But
The Arch-Deceiver Of The Ages
Has Caused Your Form To Be As He Is
An Unmitigated Fraud!

An Angry Man Writes Music!
The Murdering Fiend Likewise!
The Licentious
The Lewd
The Crude
The Ingenue
All Make Music
Compliments Him
That Music Master Fallen
Who Instigated The Great Controversy
The "I Desire To Be Worshipped As God!" Feud!

Some Music Makes Some People Happy!
Some Music Makes Some People Sad!
Some Music Makes Some People Forget To Remember Truth
And
Some Music Makes Some People Behave 

Like Total Creeps And Cads!

Heavenly Music Frees The Soul From Sorrow!
Devilish Music Urges The Soul To Sin!
Heavenly Music Purges The Soul Of The Devil
And
Devilish Music Will Urge Devils 
The Soul To Reside Within!

Music Can Cast A Sinner Down!
Music Can Lift The Saint Of God And Christ Up!
Music Will Tie A Confused Soul In Knots
And
Music Can Cause The Crazed Soul To Erupt!

Let Us Who Love And Worship
And
Sing Praise To The Holy God
Remember That Music
Proper Music
Gives No Nod To Satan, The Wannabe God

Does Not Encourage The Sensual Display
And
Most Assuredly Does Not Encourage Us
To Sit Down And Eat
And, Then 
Intoxicated
Rise Up To Indulge The Ungodly
Idolatrous
Known Satanic Display!

We Are What We Eat!
We Speak What We Hear

And
We Follow The One Who Is Leading Us
By What We Let Enter Into Our Ears!

Truth ...

Faith Comes By Hearing
Hearing The Word Of God
So, Tell Me, Please Tell Me, True
Is Your Taste In Music Leading You To King Jesus
To Hill Zion
Or
Is It Encouraging You To Fraternize
To Cohabitate 

With The Damned-For-All-Eternity Fraud

Who Poisonously Hates Me And You!?!

The Angels Of God Sing Glorious Praise

Unto The Holy God

And

All Who Believe The Living Word 

That We Shall Receive The Golden Crown

Should Cast Away All Music That 

Causes Us In Worship

Below Our Waists To Whip About

To Cast Around!

Sensual Music In The Church 

Is 

Not Godly

Neither Is Music That Causes One To Cavort

So Let Us Stand Up For The God Of Light, Truth And Order

And

Cast Away From Us

All Things That Cause Us To Descend 

Into Idolatrous, Hedonistic, Disorder!

Let Us Refuse, Brethren

To Become Satan's Choice Fodder!

Let Us Stop Taking The World's Music Score

And

Baptizing It With Good And Godly Words!

The Music Has A History!

The Music Tells A Story

And

No Matter How Much Holy Water You Wash It In

It Will Always Tell The Devil's Story!

Satan Will Never Speak To Give Almighty God Glory!

What Is Your Musical Taste

Really Doing To You!?! 

How Are You Performing

When You Hear Your Musical Cue!?!

HAPPY SABBATH + REALITY BITES: Check Yourself Before You Wreck Yourself!

... And She Says That She Sees Nothing Wrong With 
Sin!

Okay, Okay!
Now Pull The Other Leg!

I'm Serious, And So Was She!

Please Explain What You Mean
Because I'm Out To Sea
In A Leaky Boat Without A Paddle!

Very Well!
Just Remember That I'm Only The Messenger, Alright!?!

Messengers Sometimes Get Hurt But
We'll Make An Exception Just For You, Okay!?!

Yeahhh, Me!!

Seriously, Though
Chimera Said:

Sin 

Is So Straight-Forward!
Look At Its Symmetry!
You Start At The Bottom Of That "S"
And You Take The Path Snaking
Winding Round

And You're At The Top Of 

Self!
You Take The Slalom
And Fall Into "i"
And You Play Ignorant
And Pretend To Be Dead
To See What Kind Of Funeral
You're Going To Get
And, Suddenly, You Get Up

When Life Kicks You In The Nuts ...!

.. Cough! Cough!

... Guts
And, Then
Having Be Made Wise
By Sacrifice, Pain, Re-Education And Time
You Start Climbing The "n"
Negotiating The U-Turn
That Leads To The Nazarene
The Savior
The Lord
The King Of Love
Who Defeated
Who Defeats Satan, The Serpent
The Dragon, The Devil
The God-Fraud
The Liar Supreme
The Murderer ... No Conscience
And You See ... For Real
That Actual 

Sin 

In The Flesh
Can Never Pay
Profit
Put One Ahead Of The Curve
Because
All Sin Is Lawlessness

And
All Lawlessness Is Sin
And The Wages Of Sin Is Death
And All Unrepentant Sinners

Get What Unrepentant Sinners Deserve:

• Death
• Damnation
• Destruction 
• A Dreadful Deep Dip In The Lake Burning With Brimstone And Fire

 Which No Hand Can
Or Will Extinguish
And Where They Will Burn Until Consumed
Until All That's Left Is Ashes
Under The Feet Of The Saints Of God And Christ
Who Have Chosen Jesus Christ
And His Sure Salvation
For Their Portion
The Eternal Reward!

Good Gracious Me!

In Her Usual Warped Sense Of Humor
She Actually Said Something That Makes Sense!

But ...

The Thing Is

Wouldn't It Be Better
To Avoid Sin Altogether!?!

Great Minds Think Alike!
I Asked Her The Same Question!

And, Pray Tell, What Did She Answer To That!?!

She Simply And Plainly And Unemotionally Said That
Some Of Us Are Hard-Headed
Hard-Hearted
Presumptuous
Own-Way, Wayward 

Rude And Crude

And Would Do Well
To Investigate The Book Of Jude
And Take To Heart The Message
While Eating It As Necessary Food!

She Also Said To Follow It Up With
The Book Of James
Taking Special Note Of Chapter One!

For Hope, We Should Read Psalm 23

Psalm 46 And Psalm 91!

And For A Good Measure
We Are To Read King David's Psalm 51
Which Lays Us Bare Before The Lord Of Life!

She Also Pointed To The Conclusion Of The Whole Matter
As Pointed Out By The Wisest Fool Who Ever Lived!
She Is Inviting All To Enjoy Ecclesiastes 12:13-14
For It Is Life's Reality-Check!
It's The Cure-For-All-Sin-Things Pill!

I'm Shaking My Head!

You've Gotta Love Her!

Wow! Negative Reinforcement!

I'm Sure That That's Not What The Lord Desires For Us

But

The Reality Is

Attendance At The School Of Hard Knocks

Does Teach Unforgettable Lessons!

Nevertheless, It Is Better To Learn From Our Forefathers

And Not Walk In The Way Of Sin Because ...!

... Tomorrow Is Not Promised To Anyone!

Indeed!

The Sin That Is Left Unconfessed

Is 

The Sin That Is Unforgiven

And

No Man, Woman Or Child

Will Enter The Great Reward

With Black Marks Aka Unforgiven Sin

On Their Final Judgment Card!

The Bottom Line ...

Leave Sin Where It Is

And

Cling To Christ Jesus

Who Paid The Ultimate Price

So That We ... Repentant

May ... By Right

Through The Assigned Pearl Gates Of Heaven

Boldly Walk In!
