FALSE WORSHIP: Planned Sinning!?!

Iniquity 

Is 

Planned Sin 

And 

Indulging In Planned Sin 

Is 

Presumption! 

Be Sure Your Sin Will Find You Out!

We Can't Defy The Lord By Our Willful Disobedience 

And 

Expect The Lord To Save Us

While We Are Participant In Malicious Sin! 
It Is Not Going To Happen!

False Worship ...

Placing Your Self In The Position Of Almighty God

By Indulging In Presumptuous Behavior

Is 
Idolatry! 

Stop It! 

Moving On ... 

Let's Understand This Also:

Whether You Wipe The Nose Of A Queen 

Or Wipe The Butt Of A Horse

As A Christian Your Work Is Always Important 
And 

Your Faithful Service To The People Of God 

In The Name Of Jesus Christ The Lord 
Is 

Important 

And

Blessed! 

Brethren, 

We Must Endeavor ... By The Grace Of The Eternal God 

To Grow Where We Are Planted

And 

To Do What We Can 

For Whom We Can 

Where We Can
While We Can 

Without Murmur Or Complaint 

And

Choose To Be Glad 
And 
Grateful For The Lil' Pick

- The Little Work - 

That The Lord Has Assigned For Each Of Us To Do 

With Love And Endurance

And

Care And Consideration! 

Truth Will Set Us Free ... 

Gold, Silver, Wood, Stone, Dirt

King, Commoner

Doctor, Drudge

Lawyer And Laborer:

The Lord God Made Them All 
To Serve His Always-Holy Purposes! 

Beloved, 

Please Pray For Strength

Willingness 
And 
Faithful Endurance 

To Do Your Pleasant Work ... For Jesus! 

Remember ...

Adam And Eve 

Were Gardeners in Eden 

And 

Jesus Christ The King ... The Creator

Visited Them Every Day:
He Will Do No Less For Us! 

Pray Without Ceasing: 

Draw Near To The Lord Of Life! 

Jesus Christ 
Is 
Our Only Source For Lasting Peace!

HABITS: What Crop Are You Raising!?!

Everything That We Do Serves A Purpose

Even If It Is The Purpose That

We Are Sure That We Didn't Intend It To Be!

It's A Fact ...

Mind: Muscle: Product 
Aka What Is In Your Mind 
And 
That Upon Which You Expend Energy To Master 
Will Give You The Product Expected! 

A Liar Is Never Known Truthful!

A Cheater Is Never Known The Winner!

A Complainer Is Never Known Contented!

A Murderer Is Not Known The Life-Giver

And

A Faithless Person Will Never Be Known Faithful

Aka

Habits Make The Man, Woman And Child!

Whatever You Practice Diligently
Conscientiously 
And 
Carefully
Is 
The Skill That You Will Acquire 
Even If It Is A Bad Really Terrible Habit! 

Beloved, 

We Are Thinking Beings
And 
We Have Free Will 
And 
Free Choice 
And
The Freedom To Learn What We Desire
Practice What We Want To Perfect
And
Introduce The World To Our Personally Branded 
And 
Personally Produced Products! 

What Are You Thinking About!?! 
What Are You Consistently Practicing!?! 
What Have You Perfected!?!

And The Big Question

With What Are You Blessing 
Or
Blasting The World Around You!?! 

Study The Life Of The Lord

And

Live According To The Example

To Show Yourself Approved! 

Will Our Lord Christ Be Pleased With Our Personal Products!?! 
Will He Smile Affectionately Upon Us In The Day Of Reckoning 
Or
Will He Frown Severely Upon Us 
And 
Say With Terminal Tone: 

Depart From Me

Ye Who Work Iniquity!?! 

Please Study The Eternal Word ... As Given 
And
Don't Try To Make It Say What Your Sinful Self Wants! 

The Lord Doesn't Change 
And 
Neither Will His Word! 


Remember, Remember
Don't Ever Forget ...

The Word Of Truth Will Never Conform To Our Desires:
We Must ... By The Working Of The Spirit Of Truth
Allow Our Selves To Be Conformed To The Word That Is Life!
Cultivate Good, Known-Profitable, Habits
Because
Like It Or Not
We Will Eventually "Eat" What We Grow! 

Nothing Can Separate Us From The Love Of The Eternal God!

Beloved, 

Since The Totality Of The Things Possible To Embitter Our Lives 
Cannot Separate Us From The Love Of God
From Jesus Christ Our Creator ... Our King
Why In The Name Of This Same Jesus 
Are We Permitting The Trivialities
The Pettiness
The Mosquito Annoyances
The Plague Rats
The Rabid Dogs 
And 
The Thieving Cats That Visit Us In Our Daily Lives 
To Cause Us To Doubt That Our God Holy, Giving, Forgiving
Blessing, Leading, Guiding
And
Teaching
Is 
Preparing 
And
Positioning Us For Our Journey Home
To Our Heavenly Father's House Of Love, Joy 
And
Eternal Peace!?! 

Let's Get Real ...

There Is Nothing That Happens To The Obedient Child Of God 
That Is Accidental For Us 
Or
A Shock To Our God Almighty
Mighty To Save Each And Every One Of Us
Who Is Willing To Be Saved! 

We Are Being Regenerated 
And 
The Rust ... The Sin
The Bad Habits
The Noxious Attitudes
And 
The Unhealthy Desires 
Are Being Purged From Our Lives! 

Please Let Us Allow The Circumstances In Our Lives 
To Be Only What They Truly Are: Teachers! 

Be Bright Sparks ...

Let's Learn The Lesson Taught 
The First Time It Appears 
So That We Won't Have To Repeat It Time And Again!

Just So You Know ...

Every Lesson That We Must Relearn
Is
Presented Differently
And
The Exam Is Infinitely Harder!

School Is In Session: 
Choose To Be Alert 
And 
Freely Dare To Learn! 

Pardon Me
But Are You Saying That Nothing
Or No One Can Separate The Born-Again Believer
From The Love Of God!?!
Seriously!?!

You Are Pardoned
And
I Did Not Stutter: 
No Thing 
And 
No One 
Can Separate The Obedient Child Of God 
From His Maker, God And King! 

If You Are Aware Of Someone ... Or Something 
That Shall Be Able To Accomplish The Impossible
Please Feel Free To Document Same For My Study: 
I Am Willing To Be Taught 
And 
Ever Willing To Learn!

What About The Disobedient Child!?!

For Example, Me!?!

Disobey ... And Repent! 
The Lord Remembers That We Are Dust 
And
Weak
And
Need Him! 

The Price That Was Paid For Your Salvation 
Is 
Infinite Love! 
Live Up To The Price Paid ... You Can't 
And 
Believe 
And 
Trust 
And
Enduringly Obey! 

You Appear Before Him A Sinner 
But
A Presumptuous Sinner You Cannot Remain!
Believe The Living Word!
Live By The "Thus Saith The Lord ...!" 
And 
Walk In Holy Light ... Giving Up Self 
And 
Choosing The Savior ... No Matter What 
Even If You Don't Fully Understand! 

Beloved,

The God Of Grace ... For Me, For You
Is 
Not A Liar
So Stop Striving Against The Holy God Who Loves You Best
And

Rest Easy ... In Jesus Christ's Holy Name!

Since You Put That Way
I Willingly Yield!

Peace Be Upon You!

AMEN!!!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Make Peace, Sue For For Peace: Live In Peace!

The Truth Sets Mankind Free!

Beloved, 

We Have The Choice To Make: 

Yield To The Prompting Of The Holy Spirit Of Truth 

And 

Let Our Our Path ... Our Steps Through Life

Be Designed, Ordered 

And 

Directed By The Lord Of Life Who Loves Us 

So That We Can Make Peace With The Past

Be At Peace In The Present

And 

Live Eternally At Peace With That Faithful Lord Of Life 

In The Certain Future 

OR 

We Can Continue To Be Willfully Unwise 

And 

Bungle Our Way Through Life 

And

Be Perpetually Miserable ... Having No Hope! 

With Our Future Estate Determined By Our Present Actions

Let's Realize That We Are Weak 

And 

Need Help From The Only One 

Who Sacrificially, Infinitely
Unswervingly Loves Us Personally 

And 

Intimately! 

Denounce Pride ...

Let's Humble Ourselves 

And 

Call On The Maker

Our Master, Lord, God And King 

Who Hears Our Pitiful Cries

Cares For Us

And 

Always Answers Our Prayers! 

"No!" Is An Answer:
If We Received Every Last Thing We Asked For
We Would Be Miserable Indeed!

Subjugate Arrogancy ...

Our Days ... Our Years

Are In Almighty God's Holy, Blessed
Preserving, Providing
Ever-Faithful Hands
So Let Us Never Forget
- Let Us Ever Remember -
That We Have The Blessed Hope!

You Need Help: Ask For It!

Pray A Prayer ...

Jesus Christ Saves! 
Let's Run To Him!
Let's Walk With Him
And 
Let's Work Diligently 
And 
Faithfully For Him

And
Rest Assured That

We Will Be Blessed Today And Forever! 

Peace Be Upon You! 

HAPPY SABBATH + Do Fuh Do Ain't Obeah!

... Let's Heed The Master's Call
And
Choose To Walk In The Holy Way!

Put Another Way
This Living Word Says 
What You Desire To Do Unto Others 
Should Be Done Unto You: 
Let That Really Sink In! 

How Many Of Us Are Truly Willing 
Or Eager To Follow This Sage Advice!?! 

How Many Of Us Would Actually Enjoy ... Or Embrace 
The Results Which Come From Following This Advice 
Without Crying 

"Oh, Woe Is Me! 

What Did I Do To Deserve This! 

Why Me, Lord!?!" 

Beloved, 

Life Is Already Hard 
So Why Make It Harder By Being Uncharitable!?! 

We Sin Daily By Thought, Word And Deed! 
We Indulge In Presumptuous Sin ... Daily 
By The Deliberate, Well-Thought Out 
Acts Of Unkindness That We Commit Against Others! 
Enough Already!
Just Stop It! 

We Are Climbing Jacob's Ladder To Glory! 
We Are Soldiers Of The Cross! 
We Are Children Of The King! 
We Are Acquiring The Character Of Christ 
And 
We Will Do Well To Recognize 
And 
Understand 
And 
Appreciate That
Our Lord Was Never
And
Is Never Malicious In His Actions! 

Malice Is Satan's Domain!

Our God Is Love!
Love Sent Him To The Cross Of Calvary!
Love Laid Him Out In The Grave!
Love Got Him Out Of The Grave!
Love Saw Him Rising Up To Glory!
Love Has Him In The Most Holy Place Of
The Heavenly Sanctuary
Interceding For You And For Me!
Love Will See Him Come To Earth Again
To Receive Unto Himself His Very Own Children
Regenerated In His Very Own Holy Image ... Undefiled!
Think ... Meditate ... Chew On This Truth!

Those Of Us Desiring To Enter The Eternal City
Can No Longer Conduct The Business Of Daily Living
As Is Usual ... Customary ... Blighted ... Benighted
That That Is Truly Unacceptable For A Child Of The Great King!

Pull Yourself Together ...

Changes ... Great Changes ... Must Be Made
Or Else Instead Of Seeing Our Loving King
We Shall Be Confronted By The Frowning Judge!
Please Do Not Permit False Pride To Rob You Of
The Robe Of Christ's Righteousness
Your New Name
Your Gold Crown
Your Future
Your Hope
Your Home
Your Help
Your Only Means Of Salvation!

Brethren,

I Challenge Us All Now ... Today
To Think Of The Worst Thing We've Ever Done To Another
And 
Remember Their First Response To Our Cruelty 
And Then
Imagine ... In 3-D
How Well We Would Enjoy Being On 
The Receiving End Of Such Not-Tender Mercies! 

Remember ... 

Dish-Out Feels Really Good 
But 
Pay-Back Is A Female Dog! 
It's Time, Dear Ones, To Class-Up Our Acts! 
Heaven Awaits Almighty God's Loving Saints!

Do Right

And

May The Perfect Peace Of Prince Immanuel

The Shepherd Of Rest

The Rock Of Ages

Our Hope, Help And Sure Salvation

Rest Mightily Upon You!

The Bald Question!

The Banner Of The Lord Over His People 
Is 
Love ... The Holy Love Of The Eternal God: 
Love Prospers In Truth! 

The Question That Needs To Be Baldly Asked 
And 
Honestly Answered Is: 

Are We ... As Committed Christians

Living In Perfect Love 

And

Absolute Truth

As They Proceed

From The Heart Of Our God 

Who, Himself, Is Love And Truth!?! 

Will You Take Your Personal Stand For Living Truth 
And Live By, Stand On, And Die For Perfect Love!?! 

Is Your Love Situational ... Conditional!?! 

Is Truth, For You, Transactional ... Negotiable!?!

Will Your Life Stand "The Sniff Test" Before The Judge Of All Flesh!?! 

Beloved, 

Let's Think Long And Hard 
Not About What We Must Give Up 
But 
About What We Need To Hold Near And Dear 
If 
Our Heart's Desire 
Is 
Heaven At The Last Trumpet! 

There Is No Love Without Truth 
So Let Us Know It
Tell It
Live It
Share It
Walk In It 
And, Yes
If Needs Be
Die For The Truth! 

Jesus Christ 
Is
The Truth 
And
The Love Of Almighty God Exemplified 
Aka Personified ... Made Real 
And 
No One Gets Into The Father's House Without Jesus 
... The Character Of Jesus ... 
Without The Love Of God
Without The Truth! 

Heaven! 
Hell! 
Where Are You Headed!?! 

How Much Preferred Stock

Do You Have In Saving Truth 

And 

Heavenly Love!?! 

Create In Me ...!

As The Songwriter Says

"Creation Shows The Power Of God: 
There's Glory All Around: 

Miracles Abound!" 

Beloved, 

We Who Believe In 

And 

Trust The Lord Of Life

The Creator God

Jesus Christ The Lord

Know That The Godhead Three 
Were All Present At Creation 

And That The Holy Spirit Moved

And 

Brought Forth Light To Illuminate The Darkness

Added Substance To Nothingness

Gave Form To Formlessness 

And 

Made The Emptiness To Teem With Abundance 
And 
Lush Life

And 

The Eternal God Made Man The Crowning Glory Of
Almighty God's Creation! 

With A Clean Heart ... For God

And 

A Right Spirit ... To Embrace 

And Love And Live 
The Saving Truth Of God Who Loves Us 

And 

Died 

And 

Yet Lives To Save Us To Enter The Heavenly Home

We Are Blessed ... Infinitely Blessed
Prepared, Willing, Ready

And

Able To Enjoy Our Assigned 

And 

Pleasant Work From 

And 

For The Lord Christ! 

Brethren, 

Every One Of Us Headed To The Heavenly Land 

Promised, Purchased 

And 

Provided By Our Prince Immanuel

- Our God Who Lives With Us - 

Should Make "Create In Me ...!" 

A Matter Of Daily Prayer 

And 

See It As A Constant Call To Cooperation With Our King

Our High Priest

Our Perfect Peace

Our Holy Power

The Object Of Our Worship

The Beneficiary Of Our Constant Praise! 

I Humbly Beseech Us All

To Please Faithfully, Enduringly 

Obediently Work At It: 

Wearing The Crown Of Life Depends On It! 

Peace!

The Savior Is Knocking

And

Waiting On Your Answer:

Open The Door

And

Enthusiastically Invite Him In! 

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

We Are Hungry

And

The Good Lord Has Blessed Food:

Request The Promised Share

And

Enjoy The Feast!

THE HEART OF MAN: Wickedness!

The Heart Of Man
- Unchanged By The Holy Spirit Of The Eternal God
Is 
In All Aspects Amazingly Vile 
Never Desiring To Do What Is Good And Right! 

Beloved, 

We Are Wicked 
And 
Marked For Death, Twice
When We Don't Have The Love Of God In Our Hearts! 

Wickedness Is Of The Genus "I Plan This!" 
It Is Out Of The Pot "Devilish Doings!" 
And 
It Destroys All Who Are The Bold, Unrepentant, Sinners 
Asking "What God!?!" 

Consider This ...

Wickedness 
Is 
Like Avidly Licking An Uncut Ghost Pepper 
And Saying 
"Wow! This Is Nothing!
I Could Eat This All Day Every Day! 
I Love It!" 

And Then

You Nonchalantly Start Biting It
And Chewing It 
And Can't Swallow It 
And Can't Spit It Out
And You Want Your Mommy 
And Your Daddy
Your Doctor
Your Lawyer
And
The Hated Undertaker ... When All Hope Is Known Lost

And Then ... Remembering

You Call On The Name Of The Lord Who Saves Sinners
Who Then ... On Your Earned Paycheck 
For The Wages Of Sin, Says: 

"Depart From Me! 

I Never Knew You!" 

Brethren,

Burning Mout'
Burning Belly 
And 
Burning Body In The Burning Lake Of Fire 
Ain't Worth It
Ain't Worth Being Wicked
Ain't Worth Being A Willing Sinner
Ain't Worth Being An Unrepentant Sinner
Ain't Worth Paying For A Crime That's Already Paid For! 

In All Humility
I Beseech Us All To Stick With Jesus Christ 
Our Lord The King
And 
Choose To Live Right! 
Innumerable Blessings Await The Righteous! 

Find Your Peace

In The Lord Of Life

Who Is Coming To Take Us To

Our Forever Home!

Mercy ... For Me And Thee!

The First Facet Of Almighty God's Character 
As Revealed To Moses
As He Abode Safely In The Cleft Of The Rock 
Secured By God's Own Hand
Was Mercy! 

Just So You Know
Mercy Includes Loving-Kindness
Grace, Compassion
And 
Forgiveness
And 
No Human Born Of A Woman Has Any Right 
To The Great And Known-Immense
Known-Infinite Mercy Of The Eternal God! 

Mercy 
Is 
A Gift Freely Given To Us Bold, Brash Sinners 
Who Deserve God's Justice! 

Beloved, 

Think On This: 
We Cry Out To The Lord To Hear Our Prayers 
And 
We Ask Him To Also Have Mercy On Us! 

Also Is Interesting In That It Means That 
We Have Hope ... Expectation ... That 
This Great God Will Add The Blessing Sought 
Because 
He Is Well Able! 

Be Wise ...

There Is The Day Coming 
When All Who Refuse The Free Gift Of Mercy-Now 
Will Plead For Mercy-Then 
But
Almighty God's Justice
Unmixed With Almighty God's Mercy
Will Be Thoroughly Poured Out! 

Soooo ...

Let's Not Be Amongst Those 
Who Know Not The Lord Christ ... The Truth,
Who Made Peace With The Father For Us 
So That We May Enter His Gates With Thanksgiving 
And 
His Courts With Joy-Filled Praise! 

Mercy 
Is 
A Rare Quality Which 
Is 
Found Only In Our God Almighty
Mighty To Save Us! 

Be Ye Armed And Thrilled ...

Humble Yourself And Pray
And 
Also Plead For The Forgiving God's Free Mercy 
To Bountifully Rest Upon You Today!  
Peace With Almighty God Is Free!

The Green Olive Tree

 

To Be A Green Olive Tree 

Is 

To Be Something Precious ... Beautiful

Bearing Good Fruit

Abundantly Fruitful

And 

Immensely Useful! 

Such Is The Lot

The Call

The Mission

The Duty Of All Who Will To Be Evergreen Christians 

In The House Of The Lord Of Life! 

The Lord Prunes Those Whom He Uses! 

Those Whom He Uses 
Are Equipped By The Lord ... Himself

To Do The Work That 
He Has Ordained To Be Accomplished! 

Those Whom The Lord Uses 
Unfailingly Put Their Trust In Him 

And 

Rest Under The Shadow Of His Wings 
Until The Terrors Of Life Are Passed 
And We

In The Fullness Of God's Timing

Stand In The Open

In The Glorious Kingdom

In His Glorious Presence ... Forevermore! 

Beloved, 

We Have A Work To Do For Our Lord Christ 

And 

Faith, Trust

And 

Enduring Obedience Are Required! 

Let's Take As The Lord Feeds Us By His Holy Spirit 

And 

Let Us Feed The World 
Known Hungry For Saving Truth! 

Let's Feed Others 
From Our Plate Of Good Food From God 

So That We May Receive 
More Good Food From God! 

The Lord Feeds The Green Olive Tree 
And 

The Green Olive Tree Feeds The World With The Golden Olive Oil

The Holy Spirit, Within! 

Talk Is Cheap: 

Get Up And Do A Good Work For Almighty God! 

Heaven At Any Personal Cost 
Is 
Cheap! 

Peace!
