BE A FOR-REAL JESUS-CHRISTAN: Be The "Bible" That People Read With Pleasure!






A Sinner Turned Christian 
Starts With Head Knowledge Of The Lord Christ 
Which Then Becomes Heart Knowledge 
Through The Association That Comes From Obedience, Faith 
And 
Communion 
Aka Prayer And The Reading Of The Living Word 
Aka CommUnIcation! 
It's A Conversation Between You And The Great I AM
The God Of Grace And Glory! 

Beloved, 

Conformity With The Worldly Class 
Excludes Us From The Heavenly Upgrade 
Which Comes Of Us Having Our Minds Be Transformed 
By The Lord Of Love
Who Gives Life! 

Please, I Beseech Us All
Do Not Think That Calling Christ Your King
Singing The Songs Of Zion 

And ... To Be At Earthly Peace

Going Along With The Degenerate Ways Of Unbelievers
Scoffers At Truth
Scorners Of Faith And Belief
And 
Those Who Indulge Gross And Ungodly Practices 
For Temporal Gain
Is 
Going To Get You Through The Pearl Gate! 

If You Are A Jesus-Christian
Be An Earthly-Useful, Heavenly-Minded Christian 
All Day, Every Day ... In Every Way: Don't Play
And
For The Love Of God
Please Stop Going Into The World Acting All Worldly-Wise
To Try To Convert People To Be Christians: 
It Ain't Gonna Work! 

Let Your Lived Life Be The "Bible" That People Read With Pleasure! 
Let Your Words Edify! 
Be The Good Ambassador For Christ! 
Be A Jesus-Christian ... With Your Whole Heart! 

Pursue Peace! 

Stand Up For The Holy God
That You Say That You Believe In
And
State That You Belong To!
Stand Up For Jesus!

The I AM That Is ... For Us!


 




It Is The Latest Catch-Phrase: 
"It Is What It Is!" 
And 
Everybody Is Buying And Selling It! 
Whoo Hoo! 

There Is A Bounding, Binding, Truth That Was
That Now Is
And
That Shall Be Forevermore: 
"I AM That I AM!" 
And 
We Would All Do Well To Run To It
Stand By It 
And
Live For It 
For It Is The Dear Name Of 
The Great God Who Is Our Maker, Savior
Redeemer, Friend, God And King 
And
Judge
Protector, Provider, Hope And Help
The Lover Of Our Souls Who Loves Us With A Sacrificial 
And
Everlasting Love 
Who Hates Sin 
But 
Loves Us Sinners
Who Will Not Clear The Guilty 
But
Will Cleanse Us Of The Guilt Of Our Own Sin! 

This God ... Our God Almighty
Is 
Amazingly Awesome 
And
He Is Slow To Be Angry With Us Frail, Finite 
And 
Often Foolish Creatures

 ... And ... 

Glory Be To Jesus Christ Who Saves
Through The Holy Spirit Of Truth Who Abides
He Loves Us With The Everlasting Love That 
Will Chastise Sin
Correct Bad Habits
Comfort Sorrow And Pain
Carry The Helpless
And
Celebrate Our Victories Over Sin And Self! 

Beloved, 

Let's Embrace The Unchanging God ... The I AM
And 
Celebrate That ... In Him 
We Have Salvation From Sin Known Sordid! 

Be Free: 
Almighty God ... I AM That I AM ... Is For Us! 


Pursue Peace With Shiloh
The Prince Of Peace!

The Promises Of God Are Not Comforts For Fools!

KJV Luke 15:10
10 Likewise, I say unto you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth.


 





Anyone Who Does Not Hold Our Almighty God In Godly Fear 
Is 
Fair Game To Satan And His Fallen Angels 
Who Will Work Diligently To Help Them Accumulate Enough Sin 
To Acquire The Fare For The One-Way Ticket 
To Hell 'N Damnation! 

All Of Us Already Have Enough Sin
But
The Committed-To-Christ Child Of God 
Being In Awe ... Godly Fear ... Of His Maker
And 
Believing The Word Of Promise
Will Choose To Daily Confess 
And 
Repent ... Turn Away From ... Known Sin! 

Time For A Think-Think ... 

Let Us Consider The Invitation To Confess ... And Repent
The Promise To Forgive ... And To Cleanse
The Decision To Follow Christ ... And Live By Faith That Cannot Fail Us
And 
The Blessed Hope Aka Christ In Us Our Hope For Glory! 
We Have Reason For Our Blessed Hope! 

Beloved, 

The Promises Of God Are Not Comforts For Fools! 
They Are "Yes, Lord!" And "Amen!" 
For All The Saints Of God And Christ 
Who Have Resolved To Live For The Lord Of Life
Who Exchanged His Life For Ours 
So That We Have The Opportunity 
To Transact A One-For-One Fair Exchange Of
Our Sinful Life For His Holy Life
Our Mortality For His Immortality
And 
Our Perishing Planet For His Perfect Paradise! 

Brethren, Beloved,

Please Let The Holy Spirit Guide You Into All Truth: 
Dare To Strive For The Crown That Doesn't Tarnish! 
Let Heaven Rejoice Over You Today! 


Truth And Peace
Are One!

Strong Enough To Be Weak!?!

 





Every Human Has "The Need" 
But 
Most Refuse To Acknowledge ... Or Accept It 
For Fear Of Seeming Weak ... Or Needy 
For Giving Control Over Themselves 
To The One Unseen! 

Every Christian, Called, Committed And Consecrated
Gladly Expresses That Need
Is Greedy For The Gain Of God's Glory
And 
Covets The Good And Perfect Gifts Of Mercy And Grace! 

Question Is. Though
Are You Hungry Enough
And
Thirsty Enough 
For Goodness And Truth
And 
Peace And Rest 
To Become Fed-Up Enough With Sin
Sorrow, Suffering, Sickness 
And 
Shame 
To Surrender Your Sovereign Will To The Lord 
And
Ignore The Taunts
The Black Balls
And
The Fiery Darts Of The Wicked
And
Surrender Your Self To Your Savior
No Matter The Earthly Outcome!?! 

Will You Trust The Lord Totally 
When Every Known Earthly Support 
Is 
Gone Bye Bye!?! 

Will You Be Strong Enough To Be Weak And
Choose To Enduringly Live
- Against Sense And Sight - 
By Faith And Prayer
Believing The Promises That 
You Are Not Alone
And That 
Almighty God, By The Holy Spirit
And 
The Ministration Of The Holy Angels
Will Take Care Of You!?! 

Beloved, 

Now Is The Time To Feed Your Soul On The Word! 
Feed Your Need For Jesus 
And 
Be Free! 
Dare To Be Humble Before The Lord! 

Remember, Remember
Don't Ever Forget ...

There Is Nothing That We Can Do
That We Can Do Without Jesus Christ The Lord!


Jesus' Peace
Passes
Human Understanding!

Who You Looking At!?! Who Looking At You!?!

 




We've All Met One Of Them! 

We've Heard The Aggressive: 
"Who You Looking At!?!" 

We've Heard The Calm Response: 
"I'm Looking At You!" 

We've Also Heard The Nasty Riposte: 
"Take A Picture! 
It'll Last Longer!" 

But ...

Has That Dear Soul Asked Themselves 
Why They Were Being Looked At
Or Wondered If The Look Was A Desire 
To Eat Them 
Or To Teach Them ... And Why ... 
Depending On The Desire That 
They Personally Know That 
They Are Causing In Their Watcher!?! 

How Are You Being Watched!?! 
How Are You Being Changed By What You Observe!?! 
How Are Others Being Changed By Looking At You!?! 
Is The Picture That People Are Taking Of You
Worthy Of Being Placed In The Victory Garden
The Hall Of Fame
Or The Dank, Dark, Cellar Of Shame!?! 

How Do You See Yourself!?! 

Is The Picture Clear Or Cloudy!?! 
Is It A Gold Apple In A Silver Frame 
Or A Bright Red, Juicy-Looking Apple That 
Has A Worm In It 
And 
Is Rotten At The Core!?!
 
Are You Fit Or Being Fitted For The Table Of The King 
Or Are You Hog Food!?! 

I'm Asking Myself That Question: 
Will You!?! 

Ask The Hard Question! 
Answer It Honestly! 
Fix The Bad Part! 
Increase The Good Part
And
Dare ... Really Dare
Learn From Our Great Exemplar Jesus Christ: 
The Devil Will Be Withstood! 



Peace With The Lord
Is
Profitable!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Do The Pleasure Of The Lord!

 


We Pay For Our Pleasure! 
What Brings You Pleasure!?! 

Is There Anything
Any Tree That You Are Manuring Right Now
The Fruit Of Which
- When In The Season Of Discovery 
Aka Publicly Disclosed, Exposed -
Is 
Going To Cost You Your Job
Your Family
Your Faith
Your Future!?! 

Is The Pursuit Of Your Pleasure 
Worth Your Giving Up Your Life To Enjoy It 
Even For One Measly Second!?! 

Would The Lord Jesus Christ Be Pleased 
Aka Have Pleasure 
From Seeing You Pursuing 
Your Dark Night Or Sun Light Pleasure!?! 

Beloved, 

Remember The Warnings:

"Out Of Darkness Into Light!" 
And
"Take What You Want And Pay For It!" 

And

Choose To Be Disciplined
To Accept Correction
To Find Pleasure In The Things Of Almighty God
To Bear The Fruit That 
Is 
Righteousness 
And 
Do Not Indulge In Those Ungodly Things 
For Which You May Pridefully ... Presently
Feel No Common Shame! 

Repentance To Almighty God
Is
Not Lame
And
Seeking For Forgiveness
Is
No Game! 

Don't Get It Twisted ... 

Uncorrected Wrong Actions
Unrepented Known Sin
And 
Forbidden "Pleasure" 
Carry No Eternal Profit
Because 
They Lead To The No-Pleasure Spa 
At Fire And Brimstone Lake
Where There Ain't No Complimentary Tray Of
Cookies And Canapés! 

Be Wise ... 

Choose Free Salvation
And
Choose Pleasures Forevermore 
And 
Receive Forever Access
To The River Of The Water Of Life
When Ends The Mortal Strife! 

Brethren,

Dare To Care
And
Boldly ... Willingly ... Do 
The Pleasure Of Jesus Christ The Righteous
The True And Living God! 
He Is Bringing With Him When He Comes
Our Earned And Sure Reward! 

Be Strong In The Lord
And
In The Power Of His Might!

HAPPY SABBATH + WILLING OBEDIENCE: Stand Up To Go Up!






All Lawlessness Is Sin:
Willful Disobedience
Is
Sin!

Willful Disobedience Flows From A Heart 
Filled With Putrid Pride 
And 
Stinks Of Idolatry 
Because 
It Places Sinful Self 
On The Throne Which Belongs To The Lord Christ! 

Idolatry 
Is 
Willful 
And 
Bold Sin!
That's Behaving Like You Made Yourself! 

Willing Obedience Flows From A Heart 
Filled With Love For Its Maker 
And 
Shows To The Dying World 
What True, Godly, Worship Looks Like! 

Beloved, 

We Are Children Of The Great King
And 
We Must ... By Thought, Word And Deed 
Choose
Willingly Choose
Lovingly Choose
To Walk In Perfect Obedience To The Lord
Following The Law Of Love
No Matter What The Naysayers, Unbelievers And Doubters 
Sarcastically And Spitefully Say! 

Look Around You 
And 
See With Clear Eyes 
The Plain Evidence Of What Happens To Those 
Who Choose To Willfully Walk "Wise" In Their Own Eyes! 

Look Again 
And 
See The Lives Of Those Who Faithfully Choose To Love The Lord 
And 
Show That Love By Staying Within The Law Of Liberty
The Law Of God
The Hedge Of Protection That The Lord Has Provided For Us 
To Shield ... Guard ... Ourselves From Sin 
And 
From Our Accusing Adversary, Satan ... The Very Devil! 

Stand Up To Rise Up: 
Willing Obedience 
Is 
Your Only Propellant! 

Love The Lord Christ! 
Keep The Holy Faith
And 
With Endurance
Obey And Be Blessed! 
Obedience 
Is 
Its Own Reward! 



Jesus Christ's Peace
Is
Always Perfect
For You And Me!

Whatever You Do

The Holy Spirit Will Take Up Residence! 

Accept The Call To Pray 
And 
Open The Book That Truth Will Give You!

Your Destination 
Is

THE EASIEST THING: Freely Drink The Water Of Life For Refreshing!

 



We Are Afflicted For Sin 
And
For Salvation: 
Please Let Salvation Win! 

The Easiest Thing Any Of Us Will Ever Do In This Life 
Is 
To Accept Jesus Christ 
... The Prince Of Peace ... 
As Personal Savior, Lord And God! 

The Hardest Thing Any Of Us Will Ever Do In This Life 
Is 
To Reject Jesus Christ 
... The King Of Glory ... 
As Personal Savior, Lord And God! 

Life 
Is 
A Duality 
And 
Our Choices To Be Faced Will Always Be Two: 

Jesus The Justifier Or Satan The Separator! 
Self Or Salvation! 
Sin Or Sanctification! 
Heaven Or Hell! 
Truth Or Error! 
Love Or Hate! 
Light Or Darkness! 
Greed Or Giving! 
Personal Prison Or Peace's Paradise! 
Faith Or Doubt! 
Love Or License! 
Correction Or Condemnation! 

Brethren,

Let Us Be Wise So That The Heavenly Rock Of Remonstrance 
Aka Circumstances And Situations 
Does Not Have To Shatter Our Pricey Picture Window 
Aka Our Putrid Pride To Humble Us 
Aka Force Us To Pray 
Aka Catch The Vision Of Heavenly Love 
Aka Christ's Personal Sacrifice For Us
For Us To Feel The Love 
And
Take The Gift Freely Given! 

Dare To Come To The Water Of Life
And 
Drink 
Because 
You ... For Love ... Want To! 
Don't Let Life Put Salt In Your Mash ... Your Food
To Force You To Drink For Relief! 

Beloved, 

Drink For Refreshing: 
The Water Of Life 
Is 
Free, Cheap, Accessible 
And 
Available To You! 

Peace
Is
As Still Water!!

WHAT A BLESSING: The Heavenly All-You-Can-Eat-And-Drink No Man Can Tell You "No!" Buffet






If You Don't Already Know It
Your Name Is Whosoever Will 
And
You May Freely Approach The Bread Of Life 
And 
Take Part In The All-You-Can-Eat Buffet 

And 

For Once In Your Life 
Dare To And Be A Glutton And A Gourmand 
And
With The Inordinate Liberality 
Now Often Foolishly Shown By The Drunkard Class 
Dare To Freely ... Wantonly
Drink Of The Water Of Life! 

The Table Is Spread ... 

Jesus Christ's Flesh Is Bread Indeed
And 
His Blood Is Drink Indeed! 
This Is A Spiritual Feast 
From Which No Created Being May Say To You: "Nay!" 

Beloved, 

Get Thee Hence To The Table Of The King 
And 
Eat And Drink 
And 
Eat And Drink Of The Word That 
Speaks Life From Jesus Christ ... The Word Who Is Life 
And
Relish It! 

Imagine It ...

No Stomach Burn
Stomach Ache
Aching Head Hangover
Falling Down Drunk Into Sin And Self-Loathing
Sleeping In The Gutter With The Enemy
And 
Stinking To High-Heaven 
Covered In The Detritus Of A Life-Long Bender 
Pointing You To Hell And Damnation! 
What A Blessing!

Jesus Christ The King Calls You: Answer! 
He Bids You Eat: Cut, Chew Well And Swallow! 
He Bids You Drink: Acquire A Hollow-Leg 
And 
Scarf Down The Water Of Life 
And 
Don't Stop Until He Appears In The Eastern Sky! 

Peace Be Upon You!
