HAPPY SABBATH + PRIDE: Humble Yourself!

There Is Nothing More Silly To Behold Than 
Seeing A Person Who Obviously Needs Help From Almighty God

- Via The Hand Of Man - 

Pontificating That 
They Don't Need Help From Anybody ... At All

While Telling Others That 
They Are The Ones In Need Of Heavenly Help!

There Is None So Blind

As He Who Willfully Refuses

The Plain Truth To See! 

There Is The Savior 
The Redeemer
The Provider
The Forever-Friend ...

The Lord God Almighty Has Asked Us To Humbly Approach Him 

And 

Reason With Him

And 

Also Ask For What We Need! 

There's Always Something ...

The Problem Is That

Many Of Us Are Too Arrogant 

And 

Filled With Satanic Pride 

To Bow Before The Lord

To Ask For What We Need

To Hear What He Has To Say

And 

To Permit Him To Feed Us With Food That 

Is 

Good For Us 

According To Where We Are In Our Journey To Zion! 

Heads Up ... 

We Can't Learn When We Don't Listen

And

We Won't Learn When We Already Know Everything! 

Everybody Ought To Know ... 

Pride

- The Cause Of Lucifer's Fall - 

Is Now His ... As Satan ...

Most Used Weapon Of Mass Destruction 

For Picking Many Of Us Off The Path Of Purity

Productiveness

True Profit 

And 

Perfect Peace! 

Vrooom, Vroom ... 

Hearing 
Is 
An Automatic Car! 

Listening 
Is 
A Manual Car! 

Listen To The Lamb ... 

Walking In Disobedience 
Is 
Natural

But

Living In Obedience 
Is 
A Personal Choice! 

Beloved, 

To Hear The Lord Speak

We Need To Kill Pride

Humbly Acknowledge Our Need

Ask For Help

Close Our Mouths

And Then

Patiently Listen To Hear What The Lord Shall Say! 

When A Person Is Hungry

And

Food Is Made Available

They Eagerly Eat Until They Are Well Satisfied

So, Please, I Beseech Us All

Don't Let Pride Cause You To Starve 
While You Are In Front Of A Plate Of Good Food 
From The Hand Of The Great God!

Remember, Remember
Don't Ever Forget ...

Peace With The Father Is Free! 

Naked And Ashamed

And

Cast Out Into Outer Darkness

Is

The Final Stop

For The Proud

And

The Unrepentant:

Don't Be Among Them!

THE TIME-BOUND INVITATION: Walk Uprightly ... Walk Holy!

The Sun 

Is 

Warmth, Light 
And 
Life! 

A Shield Provides Protection From The Cruel Elements 

And 

From The Killing Darts Of The Enemy! 

Almighty God's Grace Falling Upon Us

Is 

Unmerited Favor ... A Blessing 
A Blessed-Forever Gift! 

Glory ... Surpassing Glory

Is 

Almighty God's 

And 

We Have A Time-Bound Invitation From Him 

To Share In His Glory! 

All Good 

And 

Perfect Gifts 
Come From The Loving And Faithful Holy God 

Who Sacrificially Loves Us, Each, Personally 

And Then

We Have The Plain, Visible To The Eye, Problem
- Which Must Be Overcome -
If
We Are To Embrace
And
Enjoy The Gifts Given By Our Great God! 

We Must Walk Uprightly

Righteously

Faithfully ... Obediently

In The Sight Of The Almighty God

According To The Pattern Given That 
Is 
Christ Jesus! 

Beloved, 

Talk Is Cheap 

But 

It Takes Skin In The Game 

If You Hope To Win The Personal Game! 

Every Game Has Rules! 

Mortal Life 

Is 

The Not-A-Game Game 
With Rules Aka Commandments Like No Other! 

Life Cannot Be Played Aka Done Over! 
Life Cannot Be Halted For Weather! 
Life Cannot Be Timed-Out For A Huddle Or A Cuddle 

And 

We Cannot Tell The Life-Giver 

"Not Today! I Ain't Home!" 

When Our Short Mortal Life Is Over! 

Know The Right ...

We Need To Be Wise! 

Choose To Be Wise 

And
Almighty God Being Willing
Let Us Be Wise ... Unto Our Own Soul's Salvation! 

The Eternal God Loves You!

The Eternal God Loves Me

And

This Same God

Known To Be Compassionate And Caring

Loving, Giving And Forgiving

Just, Faithful And True

Has A Myriad Good Gifts 

To Give To Us Who Enduringly Follow His Rules!

The Lord God Almighty's Rules Are Not Suggestions

So Let's Not Follow The Always-Wrong Multitude

To Treat Them As No Big Deal! 

Remember, Remember

Don't Ever Forget ... 

Almighty God ... Jesus Christ The Lord Of Life

Our Savior-Friend 

Our Redeemer

Is 

Great Gain For Us 

So Get Almighty God ... Who Is For You

And 

Get Your Great Gain! 

Walk Uprightly! 
Walk Holy! 

Jesus Christ

Is

The Prince Of Peace

Who Gives Unto Us

His Perfect Peace!

Lean On Jesus Christ ... For A Happy Life!

Never Let Anything Or Anyone 
"Make" You Feel So Badly About Yourself That 
You Are Willing To Destroy Your Relationship 
With Jesus Christ The Lord
True And Faithful
The Lover Of Your Purchased Soul! 

Beloved, 

There Is Only One Thing In This Life 
... One Love, One Hope, One Help, One Peace ... 
Impossible To Be Taken Away From Us 
And 
That Is Our Relationship With Jesus! 

There Is No Saving Grace For Us 
Without Jesus In Control Of Our Lives! 

When We Are Resting, Abiding, Sheltered In Jesus
Nothing
No One
No Circumstance
No Disappointment
No Physical, Emotional Or Financial Setback 
Can Rock Our World 
Or Shake Our Foundation! 

The Lord Has Promised To Never Leave Or Forsake Us! 
He Has Promised Joy ... In The Morning
Rest For The Weary
Help For Hopeless
Bounty For The Barren 
And 
Comfort
And
Joy For The Believing! 

Please Let Us Use Our Daily Gift Of Daily Faith Today 
To Make All Wrong Things Right 
Where It Is Possible To Do So! 

Think On This Thing ...

We Cannot Love The Lord Whom We Can't Now See 
When We Are Hating People Whom We Can Obviously See! 

Reach Out As You Reach Up 
And
Let Go And Let Our God Do What He Does Best: 
Make All Wrong Things Right! 

Remember, Remember
Don't Ever Forget ...

Jesus Christ The King ... Our High Priest
The Shepherd Of Rest
Does All Things Well! 

Love

And

Lean On The Lord

Like A Leech! 

Moths And Cockroaches

Look In The Mirror!
    Look At Your Self!
        Look At Your Life!
Now I Ask You Quite Plain: 

Who Are You!?!

Who Are You Planning To Be!?!

Is Your Practice

Following The Master's Plan!?!

Are You A Child Of The Day!?!

Who Will You Be

On The Day That Has No Night!?!

When The Lord Christ Shall Come
There Will Only Be Two Types Of Persons On This Planet: 
Condemned Unbelieving Cockroaches 
And
Commended Believing Moths! 

Jesus Christ Is The Light Of Life
The Light Of The World 
And
The Enduring Faithful
The Saints Of God And Christ 
- The Moths Who Love And Gravitate Towards Light -
Will Ascend To His Glorious Side! 

By Contrast
Those Willing Sinners Who, Like Cockroaches, Despise Light
And 
Especially Adore The Darkness 
Because 
The Darkness Covers Up Their Nefarious Deeds
Will Run Away From The Lord To The Rocks And Hills 
Pleading For Shelter 
To Hide Them From His Disclosing-Deeds Light: 
It Ain't Gonna Work! 

Beloved, 

We Must Be Born Again! 
We Must Put Away  All 
Habits
Inclination
Deeds
Desires
Entanglements
And 
Nocturnal Practices 
That Shall Surely Cause The Great King To Say To Us:

"Depart From Me! 

I Never Knew You!" 

Beloved, 

Be Sure Of This One Thing: 
What Is Done In The Darkness Will Come To Light! 

All Hidden Sins Will Be Found Out
So, Please, I Beseech Us All
Stop Rubbing Cockroach Legs In The Darkness 
And
Choose To Flutter A Moth's Wings In The Light Of Jesus Christ 
Who Is Soon Coming For His Faithful Children! 

No Jesus: No Peace!

Know Jesus: Know Peace!

Oh, How He Loves You And Me!

Beloved, 

It Is Amazingly Easy To Get Careless

And 

Complacent About The Truth 

To The Point Where It Becomes Practically Meaningless! 

We Cannot Afford This With John 3:16 
Because 

It Means The Difference Between 
Getting Inside The Heavenly Father's Safe House 

And 

Being Not Only Left Outside The Happy Home 

But 

Being Cast Into Outer Darkness! 

There Is No Light

No Life

No Light Of Life In Outer Darkness: 
There Is The Second Death
Aka Eternal Separation From Our Father

From Almighty God
From The Lord Of Life! 

Remember, Remember
Don't Ever Forget ... 

Almighty God Is Love! 

Love Gave All He Had To Give Us

- Whom He So Loves - 

All That He Has 

And

All It Takes For Us To Receive All That God Has 

Is 

Our Gift To Him Of Our Belief In His Son, Jesus Christ
- The Righteous Judge ... The King Of Love
The Shepherd Of Rest
Our Hope For Surpassing Glory -

Who Believed His Father's Promise That 

If He Freely Laid Down His Life 
To Save Us From The Wages Of Sin

He Would Take It Up Again! 

Promise Made: Promise Kept! 

Jesus Christ 
Is 
Alive ... And Interceding For Us
In The Most Holy Place Of The Heavenly Sanctuary

And 

We Who Choose To Accept The Promise 
- By The Faith Of Belief -

And 

Stay The Course Of Reciprocated Love 
- By Faithful, Enduring Obedience -

Shall Surely Be Physically Welcomed Into The Family 

With The Purchased Gift Of Everlasting Life! 

Immortality On Tap: 
Corruption Impossible! 

There Is No Greater Gift
Sooo ... Gratefully Get Greedy For God's Greatest Gift! 

Perfect Peace For Us

Is

The Gift Given

By

The Prince Of Peace!!

Choices, Chances, Changes!

Teach The Living Word To Others 

And 

Better Learning Of The Word For Yourself 
Is 

The Result! 

Those Who Live By The Faith Of Jesus 
Cause Their Gift Of Faith To Be Seated Deeper 

And 

Take Up More Space In Their Lives: 
What We Use Grows
And 

What We Refuse We Lose! 

We Can't Have Faith Unless We Believe That He Is Real
And
We Can't Please The Lord Without Working Our Faith!

Beloved, 

Life With The Lord Christ 
Is Not 
Complicated! 

He Has Made It Plain: 

We Will Be Hated By Evil People For His Sake: 

We Will Be Rewarded By Almighty God ... By Christ Himself

Who Is Bringing His Rewards With Him 
For Our Total Faithfulness To Him! 

Question Is ...

Will We Be Traitors ... To Our Creator And Savior 

To Achieve Temporary Peace With His Enemies 

Or 

Will We Be Loyal To Him For Life

Live In His Perfect Love

Endure The Temporary Hate

And 

Live With Him In Eternal Peace 
At The Time Of His Appointing!?! 

Choices, Chances, Changes ...

Loving God 

Is 

A Personal, Private, Heart-Engaged Decision! 

If We Desire To Live With The Lord Christ

We Must Live Like Jesus Christ Did 
When He Walked Amongst Us! 

Perfection Is Our Goal

So Remember That 

We Come To The Lord Dirty 

But

We Cannot Remain That Way! 

Our Lives, Loves, Attitudes, Desires 
And 
Decision-Making  

Must Change! 

Faith In Jesus Christ The King

Is 

Our Firm Foundation 

And 

Love For Him 

And 

Obedience To Him 

Is 

The Cement That Keeps It All Together! 

Jesus Always Saves: 

Trust Him And Be Truly Blessed! 

Let's Make Peace With Our Father Who Is In Heaven! 

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Dare To Wear Your Sin Screen!

S:P:-F Aka Sinner: Purchased:- Free! 

Oh, That We Will Remember That 
By The Blessed Jesus Our Sin-Bill Is Paid! 

Oh, That We Will Never Forget That 
There Are Free Men Living In The Self-Made Cage! 

Beloved, 

Take Notice That 
Jesus Calls Us To His Side 
To Be Made Free Indeed 
But
If We Do Not Take The Gift 
Or We Do Not Open The Book
We Will Never Know What Blessing Is Inside
What Great Benefit He Provides
And 
We Will  By The Accuser Outfoxed! 

Inquiring Minds Should Know ...

When Is A Blessing Not A Blessing!?! 

A Blessing From Our Almighty God 
Is 
Always A Blessing 
But
It Cannot Bless You ... The Receiver
If
You Disbelieve Aka Doubt The Giver's Love 
And
Call The Priceless Gift Bogus! 

The Blessings Of The Lord Do Not Add Sorrows: 
We Get Opportunities For Growth In Grace
So Ignore The Naysays And The Gainsayers
And
Embrace All Of Your Gifts
And 
Be Infinitely Blessed! 

Think On This ...

We Are Encouraged ... By The Medical Establishment
To Wear Sun Screen To Protect Our Skins 
From Its Known-Harmful Radiation! 

We Are Encouraged By Almighty God To Put On God's Beloved Son

- Our Only Savior - 

To Protect Us From The Siren Song Of Sin
The Ravages Of Sin
And

The Penalty For Sin! 

The Son Of God Worked 

And 

Is Working To Get Us Into The Family Home Safely 

And

He Will Work On The Appointed Day 

To Forever Rid The Universe Of Sin! 

Brethren, Beloved,

I Beseech Us All ... Please
Wear Your Sin Screen! 

Please Wear The Son, The Life Giver! 
May The Peace Of God Which Flows Like The River Glorious
Endlessly Wash Over You
This Day And Forever!

Unsurprised
Unoffended
Unashamed

And 

Proceed To Either Talk About

Work For

Adore 

And 

Can't Live Without! 

Beloved,

- Just As King David Did - 

On The Lord Jesus 

So That We May Be Rooted 

And 

Grounded In Him Who Is

The Rock Of Refuge

The Shepherd Of Rest

The Joy Of Every Man 

And

Joyfully Tell It Lovingly To A Brother, A Sister

Who Needs To Personally Know Him Now! 

Oh, How He Loves You And Me ... 

Our Love For Our Jesus Christ

Should Be Bubbling Over

And

Into Every Facet Of Lives

Because

We Should Be Actively In The Process Of

Being Consumed By The Heavenly Love Of

The Lover Of Our Purchased Souls
Our Creator
The God Who Makes Dead Men Live
To Live Again ... And Forever! 

Perfect Peace For Us Is In Him!
