The S.E.W. Club

It Was The Day Of The Grand Opening Of The S.E.W Club

And

All The Mekkers, Sewists, Seamstresses, Tailors

Botchers And Wannabe's
Pattern-Makers, Fashion Manipulators
The Curious 
And 
The Downright Creepy Who Attend Every Cat-Fight

Were Buzz, Buzz, Buzzing

And

Well Before The Scheduled Time
They Were All At The Entrance

Eagerly Awaiting The Red Door's Opening! 

Everybody Wanted To Be First Through That Door

Because

Based Upon The News From The Print
Social And Electronic Media

And

The Always Profitable 
Though Not Always Accurate  Word Of Mouth

About  The Popular Sewing Clubs In Other Places

A Free And Fancy Education

Plus A Big, Beautiful, Sewing Bible

A 24/7 On-Call Counsellor

Strong Influencers To Get You Where You Were Going

And

Personal, Private, Guaranteed Access 
To The Grand Designer, Himself

Were Perfect Perks Offered ... And Positively Available

To All Participants! 

Some Doubting Thomas In The Midst Of Those Gathered

Wanted To Know What Was The Catch!?! 

Why All The Freeness!?! 

And

What's In It For This So-Called Great Designer

That No One Has Ever Seen In Person

Nor For Whom Is There  A Memorialized Image 
On The Nosy Public Record!?! 

Well, Let Me Tell You Something! 

Marcelina Levi Jump In That 
Loose-Lipped Lackey's Skin Rough, Rough
- Her Words, Not Mine -

And

Called Him A Judas-Goat

And Other Things Unimaginable And Improbable

And Questioned His Origins 

And Told Him His Likely Destination

For Wanting To Deny Poor People

A Very Good And Costly 

Free And Freely Available Opportunity

To Better Themselves And Their Families

And 
Their Needy Communities! 

That Disabused Devil Soon Slunk Away

With His Non-Existent Tail Between His Legs! 

Anyway ...

While That Great Mass Of People Waited

You Could Hear Snippets Of The Various Conversations

One Of Which Was Repeated 
And 
Prominent For Its Call To Greed! 

Everybody Was Talking About All The Free Things 

Needles, Threads, Embellishments

Patterns, Expert Instruction

And

The Premium, Exclusive, One Of Its Kind
Private Label, Bespoke Garment 

That Is To Be Issued To Each Person ... Personally

Who Successfully Completed The Course! 

Well ... The Door Opened!

The People Rushed To Enter!

They Took Their Seats!

The Teacher Spoke
And

The Grabbits And The Gottits Got Up And Walked Out

When It Was Revealed That The S.E.W Club

Had Not One Single Solitary Thing To Do With Sewing

But

Was Everything To Do With

The Soul's Eternal Welfare! 

As Never-Idle Time Passed
The Rootless

The Groundless

The Easily Pricked

Fell Out Along The Way

And Soon

Only Those Expressing Genuine Need
Those Who Trusted The Teacher
Those Who Had Faith In The Process
Those Who Persevered Though Tired And Often Weak
Those Who Endured And Overcame All The Challenges
And
The Good Influencers Who Helped Them To Success
Remained At The End Of The Course! 

The Overcomers

Have An Engraved Pass

To Enter By Right

The Great Designers Glorious Home

When He Calls For Them

On The Day Of His Appointing! 

Food For Thought:

There Is No Other Name Among Men 
Whereby We May Be Saved 

Except For The Great And Wonderful Name Of Christ Jesus! 

We All ... Who Will To Be Truly Saved

Must Take The Plunge 

And 

Wash In The Blood Of Jesus 

If 

We Will Be Called Up To His Side In The Great Day 

And 

Ultimately Drink Of The Water Of The River Of Life 

And 

Eat From The Tree Of Life 

In The Presence Of Him 

Who Is The Lord 
And 
The Sure Light Of Life!

Only Jesus Christ Saves 

From Deadly Sin

From Deceitful Self

From Destructive Satan

And 

From Death And Damnation! 

The Hand Of Hope, Help And Healing 
Is 

Lovingly Extended To Us

The Offer Of Sure Salvation Is Available To Us

And 

The Still, Small, Voice Of The Sweet Spirit Of Truth 

Is 

Tenderly Calling Unto Us! 

Please Answer "Yes, Lord!" 

And 

Accept The Holy Hand! 

Peace In Paradise 
Is 
Guaranteed ... And Eternal!

Except We Are Connected To Christ Jesus 

We Are But Living Deads! 

Indeed ... And I Am Sure That You Know 
And 

Can See That Those Living Deads 

Are Aggressively Walking And Working Among Us

And 

Are Willfully, Maliciously
Leaving The Stench Of Their Vile Lives 

To Taint The Air 

And 

Poison The Minds Of People Everywhere!

They Are Even Willing To Kill
To Have Their Benighted Lusts Satisfied! 

Jesus Loves Us Unconditionally 

But 

He Will Never Accept Us Choosing Sin Over Salvation! 

We Who Are The True Believers
Have To Cut Up The Sin Charge Card 

And 

Close That Account Permanently

And 
Get ... As In Open ... The Master's Card Account 

Which Gives Us A Permanent Visa 

To The Eternal World Of Discovery! 

It's A Citizen's Express Card

And

No Past Sinner-Current Saint

Can Get Into The Eternal City Without It! 

Brethren, 

What's In Your Wallet Aka Your Heart!?! 

Will It Hold You Fast To Jesus Christ!?! 

Will It Help You To Stand Strong In The Holy Faith!?! 
Please Make Sure That You Know  ... For Sure
That Your's Is The Master's Card
Before You Bid This Dark World Good Night!

The Putrid Pot Of Peas!

Power

Pride

Presumption

Pleasure

Are Four Peas In A Putrid Pot

Because

They Make Otherwise Wise People Believe That 
The Prince Of Peace
The God Of Grace
The Lord Of Life 

Will Not Ever Call Them Out!

We Are Called Christian

Because

We Faithfully Follow The Lord Christ

Doing As He Did
And

Causing The Father To Behold Us In Delight

But

We Fall Short Of The Glory Of God

By Walking On The Wild Side

Doing As Did Lucifer ... Now Satan

The Adversary Of Souls

He Who Would Take The Worship That

Belongs To The True Living

Giving Blessing Kind Holy Eternal God!

Do Not Think For A Moment That

You Can Separate The Love Of Almighty God

From His Justice!

Do Not Think For A Moment That

Satan Is Punished

And

The Lord Will Let You Slide

Just Because You Name The Name

Say The Prayers

And Give Free-Will Offerings 
And Pay The Owed Tithes

Because 

You Will Be Sadly Mistaken

And

For Gross Folly
Satan Will Willingly, Excitedly ... Pleasurably
Carry You On A One-Way Trip

To Death And Damnation

Which Will Never See You Crossing

The Separation Line!

Jesus Christ Is Power

And Yet

He Was Humble!

Satan Indulged Pride

And

It Saw Him From Heaven Tumble!

Lady Eve, King Saul, King David, Judas Iscariot

All Indulged In The Sin Of Presumption

And

The End Result Involving All

- To A Measurable Degree -

Involved Death:

To King Saul And Judas Iscariot

It Plainly States

To Hill Zion

These Will Never Enter The Pearl Gate!

This Leaves Us With ... Brings Us To

Lady Eve ... The Mother Of All Living

And

King David ... Through Whose Line The Savior Of Man Came! 

Repentance Is Good

For The Human Soul!

Brethren, Beloved 

Confession Of Known Sin

And

Repentance Therefor 

Puts You Outside Of Satan's Damnable Circle

And

Into The Safe Fold Of The Good Shepherd

Jesus Christ Our Lord And God

Who Was Lowly, Gentle, Meek And Mild

Who Indulged Prayerful Communion With
And

Who Walked In The Will And The Ways Of
Our Great Father

The Ancient Of Days! 

If You Love The Lord

Keep His Commandments!

Get Over Your Self ...

Humility Is Not A Put-Down

And

Unchecked Pride Is Not A Lift Up! 

Presumption Is Not Profitable

Unchecked Power Is Not Valuable

And

The Unhinged Pursuit Of Pleasure

For Pleasure's Unholy Sake

Is

A Free-Ride, One-Way, Non-Negotiable

Premium Ticket

Through Hell's Always Smooth, Hot And Wide Entrance

To The Burning With Fire And Brimstone Lake! 

Turn Back, Beloved

Before It Is Too Late! 

Don't Be Like Satan

Who Has Sealed His Own Fate! 

Think About It ...

One Great Difference 
Between The Saint Bound For Glory 
And 
The Sinner Bound For Hell 

Is 
The Inordinate Love For Experiencing Pleasure 
Just For Experiencing Pleasure
That Bold Sinners Find Exceedingly Pleasurable 
To The Rabid Exclusion Of Common Sense
Temporal Safety 
And 
Freely Given And  Presently Available Soul Salvation! 

Our Creator God Plainly Told Us What Is Good 
But 
We Are Allowing A Deceitful, Treacherous
Condemned, Damned, Fallen Cherub 
To Tell Us What Pleasure Is
Because
He Has A Cultured Voice
And
Wonder-Working Powers Of Unholy Persuasion! 

Lady Eve Permitted Satan To Convince Her Of 
What Is Pleasant To The Taste
Beautiful To The Eye
And 
Good To Make One Wise 
And 
We Are Still Paying The Price For That Disobedience!

I Beseech Us All, Brethren
Please Don't Pay With Your Skin 
What Your Soul Can't Afford: 
Earthly Pleasures Fade Fast! 

Let's Be Truly Wise: Listen To The Lord

And 

Be Forever Blessed!

A Pig In Pearls Is Still A Pig

And

A "Christian"

Calling The Name Of Jesus Christ

And

Living The Life Of Riley

And

Playing Footsie With Satan

Is Not Ever

Going To Be A Translated Saint!

Learn The Difference

Between Sinner And Saint

And

Choose According To

Your Preferred Final Destination!

Your Choice Is Your Ticket!

Jesus Christ

The Holy God Glorious

The King Kind

The Judge Righteous

Will Direct You To Your Assigned Gate!

HUMBLE YOURSELF: Call ... And Confess ... And Repent!

Brethren,

Zacchaeus Desired Above All Things 
To See, To Know, Who Jesus Was! 
Forgetting His Lofty Public Stature

He Went Out Of The Way ... Up A Tree

To Look Down Upon Jesus 

And 

Jesus Looked Up 

And 

Called Him Down From His Dangerous, Unenviable, Position 

So That He Could Visit Him In His Home ... In His Condition

And 

Lead Him To Living Light! 

Just In Case You Have Doubts
We Are Not Above Jesus Christ! 

Jesus Came Down To Our Level To Raise Us Up To His

To Give Us His Light ... His Love

His Life

And 

A Personal Place In The Father's House! 

Jesus Christ Has Already Done Everything Possible 
To Get Our Attention 

To Save Us From Sin, Self, Satan

Death, The Grave 

And

Damnation ... Hell! 
He Is Calling Today!

Please Do Everything 
To Get To Know Jesus Christ: He Is Passing Your Way Today! 

Put Your Pride Under Your Feet 

And 

Make Yourself A Spectacle If Necessary! 

Do All To Make That Heavenly Hook-Up! 

Jesus Christ, Alone, Saves!

Everybody Ought To Know Who Jesus Is

And Should Open Up Their Hearts To Him! 

He Suffered So That We Wouldn't Have To

And I Have Asked Him Not To Pass Me By

While He Is Calling On Others This Day! 

This Is The Best Sermon EVER!! 

However ... 

The Problem, Beloved

Is 

That People Want To Tell Jesus Christ

Who The Real Jesus Christ Truly Is

Even As They Refuse To Accept 
The Plain Word From The Lord's Lips

As To His Holy, Unchangeable, Nature ... Character! 

Remaking Jesus Christ ... Almighty God

Is 

The Fool's Errand

And 

A Fraud Perpetrated Against Us 

By The Arch Deceiver, Himself
The Lost Cause, Himself
Satan ... The Lord Of The Dung Flies! 

We Must Pray For Spiritual Eyes And Ears

And 

A Heart Of Flesh For The Brethren! 

Very Soon Satan And All Of His Followers

Will Have To Bow And Confess That

Jesus Is The Christ ... The Anointed One

Immanuel ... Almighty God With Us! 

To This Joyful Occasion

I Say A Heart "AMEN!" 

Aka "So Let It Be!" 

Hallelujah! Save Me, Lord! 

He Can, And He Will! 

Humble Yourself Under The Mighty Hand Of The Eternal God 

And

He Will Lift You Up! 

CPA Versus CPR

Close Personal Association 

Faces Off Against

Close Personal Relationship

And

This Is No More Evident In The Bible Than

In The Outcomes Displayed Between 
Judas Iscariot And Jesus Christ

And

Jesus Christ And Simon Peter! 

In One Relationship ... The Servant Acts Like The Leader! 

In The Second Relationship ... The Savior Leads! 

In The Second Relationship

The Savior Does His Blessed Work
And

The Servant ... Given A New Name

Is 
Commissioned To Feed The Lord's Tender Lambs And Sturdy Sheep

And

This Faithful Servant

Enduringly Faithful To His Own Life's End

Has The Memorial Of His Faithfulness
Love And Worship Of His Blessed Lord

Displayed As A Foundation Of The Beautiful City ... Forever! 

The Other Is A Cautionary Tale

To All Who Are Tempted To Follow The Goat

The Devil

Satan

The Piercing Serpent

The Dragon

The Lord Of The Dung Flies! 

Remember, Brethren

CPAs Want Money

But

CPR Leads To Life ... With Our Lord Christ! 

Think About This: 

The Big Question We Have Before Is

How Is It Possible To Be In 

A Close, Intimate, Relationship With Jesus Christ

Holding A Position Of Trust 
Amongst His Trusted Disciples, Apostles

And Yet 
Have Satan Enter In Your Heart!?!

The Plain, Simple, Answer
Is
When We Allow Self To Be King

Greed To Be Master

Presumption To Be Our Motivator

And 

The Lust For Gain And Power To Be Our Propellant! 

You Can't See Your Self

And

Your Savior With Eyes On The Same Level

And

Expect Your Star To Rise! 

That's A Shooting Star! 

That's A Star Flaming ... Out! 

Beloved, 

Beware The Base Boaster

Who Blames Others For Self! 

Beware The Self-Serving Sinner

Who Encourages You To Put Your Saving Relationship

With Jesus Christ Our Lord And God

Upon The What-Not Aka Useless Things Shelf! 

We Cannot Serve Two Masters! 

We Must Love The Lord Christ... Exclusively 

Or We Shall End Up As Judas Did 
Betraying The Lord's Trust

Selling Out To The Call Of The World 
And 
Aligning With Satan
And 
Willingly Betraying The Lord Who, Alone, Saves Us! 

Judas Iscariot

Lost His Life ... His Chariot

Because

His Conveyance Moved On Lies! 

The End Of Judas Was That 

He Went From The Presence Of Jesus 
And

It Was Night ... Literally

And

Night Spiritually! 

There Was No More Light Of Life In His Soul

And 

He Went Out 
And 
Destroyed Himself ... Damned For Eternity

But

Not Before Feeling

And

Knowing

The Separation From Divinity
From The Lord Of Life!

He Knew The Blackness Of Darkness

The Breaking Of The Link ... With Heavenly Love! 

People, 

Presumption Is Knowing Right
And
Deliberately Doing Wrong
And Is
A Sin Like No Other
Because
We Mere Mortals Think We Can Tempt Almighty God!

See That You Don't Indulge In It

And

By The Grace Of Almighty God

Which Is Always Sufficient 

See To It That You Don't Sell Eternal Gold 
To Buy Perishable Silver! 

Faithfully Follow Jesus Christ And Live! 

May The Peace Of God Which Passes Human Understanding

Be Ever Yours!

Wisdom ... Temptation ... Praying

Just Because I'm Young

It Doesn't MEAN That I'm Foolish

And Just Because You All Are Old

It Doesn't That All Of You Are Wise!

WATCH your Mouth, Young Lady!

You Weren't Born In A Barn!

Remember, It Isn't What You Say Always

It Is How You Say It!

Brother Phussie

I'm Am Sick And Tired Of Always Being Told That 
I'll UNDERSTAND Things When I Get Older!

I'm Getting Older Every Day 

And I Can Tell You That 
I Understand A Lot More Than You Credit Us With!

Okay, Mecina!

Speak Your Piece!

Brethren, 

Please Listen To Her Attentively!

Brethren, 

I'm In A Quandary That Is Starting To Look Like A Quagmire 

And I Cannot For The Life Of Me Understand Why

If Sin Is Our Disease 

And Jesus Christ Is Our Cure

And 
If We Are Cursed

And The Earth Is Cursed For Our Sakes

And

Since Jesus Christ Came To This Earth

And Showed Us How To Live

And Died Our Death

And Got Up And Rose Up To Glory

And Thereby

Secured For Us New Bodies ... New Lives

And New Homes In Glory Land

And On An Earth Made New

Why Are Some Many Persons 
- Including Some Of Our Very Church Members -

Willing To Die To Get Earthly Mansions

And Are Pleased To Visit Plastic Surgeons 

So That They May Appear Ever-Young

When We Have Immortality, Incorruptibility

Eternal Youth

And An Everlasting Home Compliments Of

The Majesty Of Heaven!?!

Shouldn't We So-Called Christ Followers

Be Quick To Tell Unbelievers 

And Other Apparently Disinterested Parties

That Without Jesus Christ

Man Has Nothing Better

That Jesus Christ Saves

That He Loves Us ... Unconditionally 

Unreservedly

Unendingly!?!

Why Do So Many Want To Hold On To This Earth

Even Willing To Cannibalize Their Brethren

When The Lord Christ Himself

Is Going To Burn It Up!?!

Why Are We Refurbishing Bodies That Are Known Terminal

That Cannot Enter The Eternal City

That MUST Be Changed Into Christ's Glorious Body!?!

Why Don't We Believe The Word Of God Absolutely!?!

Why Are We Second-Guessing 
The Living Word Of The All-Knowing God

Who Is Ever-Present

And Whose Eyesight Extends To The Infinite!?!

Why Are We So Afraid To Believe!?!

To Trust

To Wait ... Patiently

Packed And Prepared For Travel!?!

Why Are We Afraid To Pray

Or More Specifically

Pray Big Prayers!?! 

Why Won't We Let Go Of Self

And Get A Strangle-Hold On Our Savior!?!

Why Don't We Sincerely Believe The Word Of God Enough

To Stop Picking It Apart

And Mansplaining What Almighty God Dictated To Us 

By The Sweet Holy Spirit Of Truth!?!

I Guess That My Real Question Is

When Are We Going To Start ... Believing 

Believing That Our Lord Jesus

Our Holy God Eternal

Cannot Fail!?!

Mecina, Dear Child

Belief Is A Heart Issue

A Personal Issue

Between Our Self And Our God

And 

That Is Why We Are Each, Personally, Called Upon

To Work Out Our Own Soul's Salvation

With Fear, Godly Fear, And Trembling!
Resisting The Devil Is Not A Futile Exercise!

On The Issue Of Prayer 
And A Sideways Touch Regarding Temptation
Because
We Are All Often Tempted Not To Indulge Praying

I Offer To You ... To Us All

This Thought ... Caution ... From Dr. Luke:

Christians Should Always Repair To Prayer! 
Praying Is Powerful!

Jesus Christ Often Had All-Night Prayer Meeting With His Father

And 

We Are Called To Pray Without Ceasing! 

We Are Always Going To Face Temptation 

And As I Said Before
Even Temptation To Not Pray

And 

We Are Going To Need Strength 
To Resist The Tempter ... By The Word! 

The Way To Receive Strength For The Battle 

Is 

Through Praying! 

However, Please Do Not Forget That Praying Without Faith 

Is 

Just Like Spitting Into The Air 

And 

Expecting A Shower Of Rain To Fall: It Isn't Going To Work! 

Beloved, 

I Encourage You

To Raise Up Your Prayers In Faith ... No Doubting

And 

He Who Is Ever Faithful Will Deliver For You 

According To His Will, His Way

And 

His Time! 

The Heartfelt, Humble, Prayers Of The Righteous

Avails, Accomplishes, Much! 
Keep Your Eyes On Christ Jesus!

And Furthermore

I Encourage You To Remember That

Our Lord Christ Has 1,000 Ways To Save Us

About Which We Know Nothing

So See To It That You Pray ... With Passion!

Dare To Light A Candle For The Devil To See That

You And Your Lord

Are In A Committed Relationship

And

Let Your Life Be An Epistle For All Who Observe You! 

I Commend You To The Lord:
Commit Your Way To His Leading!

Amen, And Thanks, Kindly!
I Appreciate You
And I Bless God For The Gift Of Faith!!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: DISADVANTAGE: Self

How Can You Call Your Self A Christian

While You Are Walking With King Fraud!?!

You Cannot Seek To Benefit Self

While Taking Advantage Of Others

And

Pridefully Say That You Are A Faithful Child Of

The True And Living Faithful Holy God!

A Christian
Is 
A Faithful Follower Of Jesus Christ The Lord

Looking Forward To The Consolation 

When We Shall Enter The Great Reward!

No Converted Christian

Purveys Self

Nor Relishes I, Me, My, Mine, And Myself, 

Because

He Follows The Ways Of The Master

And
Is Willing To Serve

Ready To Share

Able To Care For His Fellowman

Choosing From Ungodliness 

Decidedly To Forbear!

We Cannot Lift Up Self

By Maliciously Lowering Others

And

We Cannot Enrich Ourselves

By Wickedly Robbing Others!

We Must Not Covet Any Man's Silver Or Gold

Or His Raiment

No Matter For How Much At Retail It Is Sold

Because

Our God ... Just, Living, Kind, True

Has Promised In His Innocent Blood

To Take Care Of Both Me And You!

Give Until It Hurts!

Love Until You Die
And

Be Kind Even If It Makes You Cry

Because

Jesus Christ Has Made Royal Provision For Us

In Glory Land

In The Sweet By And By!

Believe ... And Be Blessed!

Live To Be A Spiritual Success!

Trust And Obey The "Thus Saith The Lord!"

Jesus Christ Is King!

Satan Is Damned
And
He Amounts To Nothing

So Depart From Doing Evil

And

With The People Of God Sing:

Heaven Is My Home!

My Redeemer Lives!

Truth Is My Shield!

In The Day Of God's Appointing

On Wings Of Eagles

To Highest Heaven

I Shall Surely Be Seen Mounting! 

Thought For The Week Ahead ...

We Cannot Desire To Receive ... To Enter 
The Father's Kingdom

The Kingdom Of The Forever-Blessed 
More Than Our Father Wishes 
To Give The Living Kingdom To Us! 

We Are Called, Clothed, Cared-For

Commissioned, Comforted, Cradled

And 

In The Day Appointed

We Shall Be Carried Home 

And 

Crowned With Life Everlasting 
For Our Enduring Faithfulness! 

Our Father Has Not Given Us The Spirit Of Ungodly Fear! 

We Have Received Of Him Power

A Sound Mind

And 

A Heart Of Love 
To Hold Him In Awe And Amazement 

For His Myriad, Moment By Moment, Blessings 

Upon Us Whom He Loves So Very Much! 

Beloved,

It Is Time Do The Good And The Right

So Stiffen Your Spine 
With The Words Of Almighty God's Promises To Us
And

Call Sin, Sin

Rebuke Satan With The Unfailing Word

Trust Jesus Christ, The Lord Our God

Obey His Will

And 

Pray And Walk ... Home! 

Surpassing Glory Awaits Us!
