VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Pssst!?! You Are Being Tested!

 

 




There Is No Cheap, Sentimental
Frou-Frou Salvation For Christ's Followers 
In The Eternal Economy Of Almighty God 
So Anyone Who Believes That 
Trial, Test, And Tribulation Are For "Other People" 
Wheel And Come Again! 

Jesus Christ Was Severely Tested, Tried
And 
Tormented 
And 
All Who Call Him Lord 
Shall Be Tried Just As He Was! 

For Carnal Gold To Be Refined
The Dross, The Waste ... The Useless Stuff 
Is 
Purged Away 
And 
If We Are To Emerge As Gold
Fit For The Palace Of The King
We Must Be Tried! 

Beloved, 

What We Eat, We Speak 
And
What We Live, We Give 
And 
If We Desire To Meet Jesus Christ In Perfect Peace 
And 
Arrive Safely At The Heavenly Land 
To Enjoy Blessings That Never Cease
We Must Eat And Speak Truth 
And 
Live In And Give Love Of The Godly Sort To All People
Even The Unlovely In Spirit
The Unkind Actors
And 
Even Those Sorry Souls 
Who Test Our Resolve To Walk In The Truth Of God That 
Saves Our Souls! 

Please Remember That What The Lord Brings  Us To
He Will Carry Us Through 
If
We Remain Faithful ... And Endure! 

Be A "Fool" For Christ! 

Cry Out! 
Pray On 
And 
Walk Onward In Jesus Christ
- The Truth That Is God - 
Who Will Never Leave You Nor Forsake You! 
Choose Life: 
All Tests Come To An End! 


Innocent Blood
Purchased
Your Perfect Peace:
Let No Created Being
Steal Your Joy In Christ Jesus!

HAPPY SABBATH + Scrubbing Brushes, Chisels, Hammers, Cross-Cut And Rip-Cut Saws And Sand-Paper!





The Lord Our God 
Does Not Make Idle Promises About 
Neither Sin Nor Salvation
Blessing Nor Rebuke
Heaven Nor Hell
And 
We Of The Household Of Faith 
Must Not Minimize Or Place A Gloss Over 
The Plain Word That 
Proceeds From The Mouth Of The Almighty God 
By Indulging Doubt, Disbelief 
And 
Disobedience! 

Let's Consider A Baby! 

A Baby Knows The Voice
The Taste
The Touch
The Smell 
And 
The Rhythm Of The Heart Of Its Mother
And 
In The Chaos Of The Noisy World 
Or Its Own Household
Baby Will Seek For 
And 
Find Care, Comfort, Rest
Refreshing 
And 
Peace 
In Its Mother's Arms! 

So, With That Said
What's Our Problem!?! 

The Lord Our God 
Is 
Our Creator 
Aka Father And Mother 
Who Cannot Forget Us 
Because 
Of The Richness Of His Infinite Grace
And 
Eternal Love! 

Jesus Christ's Innocent, Precious, Blood 
Purchased Our Redemption 
And 
We Are Called To Saving Faith 
- By His Daily Gift To Each Of Us Of 
A Measure Of His Faith -
By The Plain Truth 
To Willingly, Eagerly, Wholly,  Trust 
The Holy God Of Grace 
To Get Us Safely Home To Unending Glory! 

This World 
Is Not 
Our Forever Home
And
Our Problems Are But Scrubbing Brushes
Chisels, Hammers
Cross-Cut And Rip-Cut Saws And Sand-Paper:
We Must Be Clean And Righteous Before Our Lord ... The Judge!

Beloved, 

We Have Free Will And Free Choice
So Let Us ... As Children Of The Great King
Choose To Walk In Enduring Faith 
And 
By Almighty God's Great Grace
Do Not Deny His Personally-Shown
Perfect Love For You!

The Lord Cannot Forget
His Very Own
Greatly-Beloved Children!

Book-It ...
 
Walking In The Truth Brings Peace: 
Be Comforted In Christ Jesus
Shiloh
The Prince Of Peace
Who Is Our Haven Of Rest!


Rejoice In The Lord ... Of Life!

Every Day 
Is 
Thanksgiving Day! 

Every Day Is The Day To Pray 
And 
Give Praise And Thanks 
For The Gifts Of Perfect Love That 
We Constantly Receive
And 
To Be Grateful For Heavenly Grace 
From The God Who Sacrificially Loves Us 
Even Though We Often Live Lives 
Which Merit Us Being Among 
The Cast-Out Disgraced! 

Beloved, 

No Matter How Perceived-Small The Gift
No Matter How Allegedly-Late Its Receipt
No Matter That The Gift Received 
Is Not 
The Gift That Your Carnal Heart Desired
Let Us Ever Remember That 
All Good And Perfect Gifts Are From The Holy Hand Of 
Jesus Christ The Righteous
Our Maker And Savior
Redeemer And Forever Friend
The King Of Glory! 

Let Us Cultivate The Habit Of Saying 
"Thank You, Dear Lord!" 
And 
Even More So Now In This Time Where Disease 
Is 
Deftly Trying To Take Our Loved Ones Away! 

Brethren, Beloved

Let Us Use This Day Of Giving Thanks 
To Draw Closer To Our Creator
Our Friends And Family
And 
Let Our Foes Help Us To Lean Thankfully 
On The Love That Will Never Let Us Go! 

Give Thanks With A Grateful Heart 
And 
Decide This Day That From Righteous Living 
Never, Ever, To Depart! 


PRAYER:

Thank You, Father
For Your Myriad Blessings
On Us Children!
Thank You For Giving Unto Us
Our Beloved Savior
Your Only Begotten Son
Jesus Christ The Lord!

Father,
Please Forgive Us
For The Many Times That
We Act As Those Ungrateful
And
Use Language That Is
Utterly Thankless
And
Truly Tasteless!

We Thank You, Dear Father
For The Fellowship Of The Holy Spirit
The Protection Of The Holy Angels
Our Spared Lives
The Roofs Still Over Our Heads
And
The Sumptuous And Daily Food
Liberally Provided For Our Tables!

Though We Do Not Desire
To Feel Pressured
Or Experience Problems
Or To Be Ill
Or Financially Embarrassed
Lord,
Even For These Few Trials
We Give You Grateful Thanks
And
Heartfelt, Unfeigned, Praise
Because
These Workmen Cause Us To Hasten
To Your Throne Of Grace
Where We Will Find
Unmerited Favor
From Your Holy Hand
To Help Us In Our Time Of Need!

Oh, Love, That Will Not Let Us Go
We Are Grateful And Thankful That
You Are The Holy God Known Faithful
And
We Ask You, Please
To Help Us To Rest Our Weary Souls
Our Daily Dying Bodies
Our Unbearable Burdens
Our Terrible Tests And Trial
Upon Your Strong, Loving, Unfailing, Arms!

Please Help Us
Even As We Pray
To Not Just Share Burdens And Trials
But
To Share Our Joys
And
To Rest And Abide In Your Love
To Be Refreshed
For The Sure Battles Ahead!

Thank You, Lord
For The Unspeakable Gifts
Most Of Which
We Don't Even Know That 
We Have Received:
We Bow In Worshipful Adoration!

Please, Dear Lord
Help Us To Draw Closer To You
To Live For You
And
If We Are So Called
To Die For You:
You Have Promised
To Raise Up Your Faithful Children
In The Glad Day Of Reunion!
We Trust You At Your Holy Word!

Please Take Our Hands
Please Hold Our Hearts
Please Bless Our Lives
And
Please Give Unto Us
Time And Time Again
More Reasons
To Give You Our Willing Praise
And
Grateful Thanks
In Jesus Christ's Holy Name
We Humbly Pray And Plead! 
We Love You!
AMEN.

Drink Your Lemonade!

 




Let's Praise Almighty God 
Despite Our Problems 
And 
Truly Trust Him For His Saving, Protecting 
Providential Care!
 
Let's Also Say
- When Life Gives You A Good Harvest Of Fat Lemons -
Beg For Sugar
And 
Make Lemonade! 

Beloved, 

While You May Say That That's Cheap And Easy Talk
And 
Nobody Knows How Sour Your Lemon Harvest Was, Is 
And 
Is Projected To Be
Let's All Remember That
- As Members Of The Household Of Faith -
We Are Called To Boldly Taste ... And See ... That 
The Lord, Our God
 Is 
Good
And
Faithful, Loving, Just, Kind
Blessing, Giving, Forgiving
And
Ever Righteous And True! 

Brethren,

We Have A Sure Word In The Volume That 
Is 
The Good Book 
And 
All Who Read It Diligently
Searching For Its Hidden Treasure Sure To Be Found
Know How Our Story Ends! 

We Have The Promise Of New Life
New Name
New Home
Blessed Peace
And 
Pure Love In Our Forever Home! 

I Urge Us All 
To Enjoy Your Life ... In Christ ... Lemons And All
Because
It Is In Him That We Have A Sweet Future 
And 
An Expected End! 

Beloved,

Dare To Live With Your Eye
Your Head
Your Heart
Your Hand 
And 
Your Hope 
Touching
Tasting
Hearing
Feeling
And 
Following Jesus Christ ... Our TrueAnd Only King: 
He Is Your Water And Sugar!
Drink Your Lemonade!

FAITH: Trust ... Beyond Human Understanding

CELEBRATING
200,000 Views!!!
Praise The Lord!





The House That Our God
- Jesus Christ The Lord -
Has Built For His People 
Has Faith For Its Lock 
And 
Trust As Its Key! 

Think About It ... 

Faith Says That 
We Believe That Our God
Is 
Who He Says That He Is! 

Trust Says That 
We Are Going To Let Him Do For Us 
What He Says That He Can 
And 
Is Ready, Willing And Able To Perform! 

He Has Published The Good News Abroad! 

Beloved, 

That Leaves Us With A Thought: 

Are We Going To Trust God All The Way 
Or Are We Going To Turn The Key, Our Trust, Halfway 
And 
Find Ourselves Locked Out
Excluded From Our Own Home!?! 

We Have Choices And Chances 
And 
We Have Faith And Feelings: 
How Are You, As A Christian, Making Your Pairings!?! 

Beware ... 

Chances And Feelings 
Are Not For Those Who Have Taken The Lord Of Life
- The King Of Love - 
For Our Eternal Portion! 

Tickets Of Chance Are For Gamblers 
Who Operate On The Feels! 

Firm Choice 
And 
Exercised Faith Are For Those 
Who Willingly Trust Almighty God 
- Known Good And Faithful -
To Bathe Them In His Love, Grace 
And 
Mercy! 

Remember, Remember 
Don't Ever Forget ... 

You Can't Trust The Eternal God Our Savior 
And Also 
Trust Finite Self The Sinner! 
Let Jesus Christ Draw And Color Your Life: 
You'll Beam Forever In His Light Of Love! 

Peace!

Jesus Christ Is The Truth: Truth Is Transcendent!

 



A Doubting Christian 
Is
A Danger To Himself 
And 
To The People Of The Great And Glorious God 
Because 
He Is Trespassing On The Enchanted Ground Of Satan
- The Wily God-Fraud -
Who Will Use The Doubting One 
To Sow Doubt In The Hearts Of Others! 

A Bre'k-Down Merchant Don't Care Who 'e Bre'k Down 
Aka Misery Likes Company! 

We Who Choose To Trust The Word Of Our God
- The Living Word That 
Is 
Absolute Truth -
Must Stand On The Holy Word Stated 
Believing Truly That By Its Own Self It Is Interpreted 
And
Will Point Us To
And
Prepare Us For
Our Elevation To The Beautiful Beulah Land! 

Beloved, 

Be Wise 
And 
Beware, Beware
Of All Who Declare That 
Your Truth Will Get You Into Heaven 
And 
My Truth Will Keep Me Out Of Hell! 

Reject It, Forget It
And
Get Thee Unto The Lord Christ Who, Alone
Is 
The Truth ... The Gospel Truth
Who Alone Will Get Us Safely Home To Our Abba, Our Father
And 
The Heavenly Reward! 

Please Don't Permit Your Ears To Itch 
And
Please Do Not Indulge Humanism
The Idea That Almighty God 
Is 
Unnecessary 
Because 
This Is Idolatry ... A Known Sin! 

Doubt 
Is
Devilish!
Truth
Is 
Transcendent! 
Delight Thyself With The Truth! 



Walk In The Truth Ever Present 
And 
Soon Live The Life Eternal!

THE COMFORTER HAS COME: Humble Yourself In The Sight Of The Lord!







Without The Abiding Presence Of 
The Holy Spirit Of Truth Attending Us
Comforting Us
Teaching Us
And 
Feeding Us The Truth That Saves
Not One Of Us Will Know Aka Experience 
A Peaceful Existence! 

The Lord Jesus Said At His Departure
- After His First Advent -
That He Would Send Us Another Comforter! 

We Would Only Need Another Comforter 
If 
The First One Departed From Being With Us! 

We Would Only Need A Comforter 
If 
We Have Sorrow, Hurt, Shame
A Need That The Comforter ... Alone
Can And Does Heal! 

Beloved, 

Whatever Is Your Need
We Have The Power 
The Leave 
The Permission Of Our Maker
To Ask The Lord 
To Pour Out Of His Sweet Spirit ... By Measure ... Upon Us 
And 
Indwell Us Individually, Personally ... Intimately! 

Please, I Beseech Us All
Do Not Permit Tiny Terrors
Big Bills
Lost Loves
Failing Finances
Acute Anger
Lurching Loneliness
Worrying Weariness
Or Creeping Compromise 
And 
Gross Greed 
To Stay Your Heart From Humbling Yourself 
Before The Lord Of Love And Life 
To Ask Forgiveness
To Receive Cleansing 
And 
Experience Needed Comfort 
Without Which We Are Just Like Animals 
Awaiting Approaching Death! 

Dare To Choose Peace! 
Call Out And Pray For The Holy Spirit 
And 
Be Comforted
Be At Rest
Because
The Living God Glorious 
Is 
Waiting ... Willing ... Able ... Ready ...  To Help Thee! 


Peace With Almighty God
Is
To This Very Day
Still Free!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: DESPISE THE PIERCING SERPENT: Give Almighty God Your Gift Of Praise!






Loving And Knowing 
The Lord And The Living Word Of The Lord 
Is Not 
A Maybe Or A Perhaps! 
It Is An Imperative ... A Must
If We Are Not To Fall Prey To The Adversary
That Roaring Lion
That Piercing Serpent
Who Is Roaming About 
And 
Seeking For Those Whom He May Devour! 

In A World Full Of Busy Work
Cookie-Cutter Seeing, Doing, And Being
We Each Need To Know 
And
Love Truth For Our Own Selves 
So That We Do Not Make Shipwreck Of 
The Holy Faith Given To The Brethren
The Saints Of God And Christ!

Beloved, 

Dare To Walk In The Light Of Life! 

Stand Up For Truth
Speak Peace 
And 
Endure All That The Adversary Throws In Your Berry Patch! 

Remember Whose Child You Are 
And 
Never Forget That 
You Don't Walk In The Vale Of Tears Alone 
To Be Molested By Whosoever Wills! 

You Are Blessed: 
Remain Faithful! 

You Are Loved: 
Love The Lord, Love The Word, Above All Else! 

The Gift Of Salvation Is Free! 

Let Your Light Shine In The World For A Witness That 
You Know The Word 
And 
Are Personally Known By The Word Of God Who Is God 
And Is 
Life ... Life Everlasting! 
Choose To 
And 
Gratefully Give Almighty God Your Gift Of Praise! 
Peace!

HAPPY SABBATH + Let Your Faith In The Holy God Testify!










The Evil That Men Do Lives After Them! 
The Lies That Men Tell Shall Surely Scald Them! 

The Good That Men Do 
Testifies Of Their Faith In That Holy God That 
Blesses And Keeps Them 
And 
The Truth That They Tell 
Serves To Clean Them
Protect Them 
And
Set Them Apart For Heaven! 

Who Is Good And Faithful
Up To Heaven Shall Surely Rise! 

Who Is Evil And Deceitful
Practicing Lies For Pleasure And Profit
Shall ... With Satan And The Fallen Angels
In The Lake Of Fire Most Assuredly Die! 

Beloved, 

There Is Always Profit 
In Always Doing The Good And The Right 
So Please Do Not Join With Liars And Evil-Doers 
For Supposed Temporal, Earthly, Delight! 

Evil 
Is 
A Ravenous Parasite Within The Heart
A Pus-Filled Stye In The Eye
And 
An Uncontrolled Blight On The Skin Of The Evil-Doer 
Who Carries The Stench Of Death Upon His Person! 

Jesus Christ Calls Us To Life Everlasting
To Good Works
To Walk In Truth And Righteousness
To Live Lives Pleasing In His Holy Sight 
So That In Us He Will Delight! 

Evil-Doers Serve Satan! 

Let Us By Faith
For Grace
With Mercy
Serve The Living God Known Good! 
Walk In The Light ... The Truth!

Living In Truth Is Peace!






How Can Almighty God Forgive Our Sin 
When We Do Not Confess Our Sin!?! 

How Can We Confess Sin 
Which We Refuse To Believe Is Our Very Own!?! 

Surprise, Surprise ... 

Denial Can't Change Truth! 

All Mankind Is Born In Sin 
And 
All Living Are Liars 
So All Of Us Are Sinners! 
That's Bible 101: Book It! 

Beloved, 

It Is Not A Robed, Crowned, Man 
Nor Mankind 
Nor That Damned Satan 
Who Determines What Is Sin 
And 
Designates Who Is A Sinner 
Or What Is Or Is Not The Required Punishment! 

The Lord Jesus 
Is 
The Judge Of All Flesh! 
It Is He Who Wrote The Law 
On The Tables Of Stone For General Moses
And 
It Is He Who Laid Down His Life For Our Lives 
So That We All Have The Opportunity 
To Get Our Hearts Right With Almighty God
Father, Son And Holy Spirit! 

Please, I Beseech Us All
Do Not Indulge In The Prideful Presumption 
Exercised By Then-Lucifer Now-Satan 
By Exalting Your Status In Your Own Mind 
And 
Challenging Your Creator For His Own Throne! 
The Earth Belongs To God Just As We Belong To God! 

Remember, Remember 
Don't Ever Forget ... 
 
The Proud And Presumptuous Will Perish
And
The Humble And The Heeding Are Headed To Heaven! 

The Difference Between The Two 
Is 
That The Humble Heart Hears And Obeys The Truth
And 
Prays For Power To Be Penitent Aka Sorry!
Don't Let Pride Pry Paradise Out Of Your Palm! 


There Is No Condemnation
For Those Who Love
The Lord Jesus Christ
And
Live By The Faith That Saves!


Living In Truth Is Peace! 
Truth Is Peace!

OXYMORON: A Lazy Christian And A Good Devil ...!?!

 

 




Our Shepherd Known Good
Is 
The Lord Most High! 

Our Adversaries Are Self, Sin And Satan: 
We Must Vigorously Deny Them! 

Our Mission 
Is 
To Acquire The Character Of Christ 
And 
Preach And Teach The Truth ... The Gospel
- The Good News -
To All The World 
And
Be Ready To Meet The Lord ... Our Beautiful Savior
In Peace! 

We Have Heaven To Gain! 
We Have The Holy Spirit For Our Comfort ... For Our "Use" 
The Holy Angels To Influence Us And Protect Us
And 
The Good Book For Our Compass
School Book
Pillow
Road Map
And 
Blanket, Sword And Shield

And

We Are To Occupy Ourselves Aka Work 
Until Jesus Christ Comes! 

For Your Information ... 

A Lazy Christian ... Just Like A Good Devil
Is 
An Oxymoron 
So Let Us Be Wise Unto Salvation 
And 
Live In The Light Of Life 
And 
Be Light-Bearers 
And 
Salt-Shakers In This Dark And Tasteless World 
Where Neutrality 
And 
Conformity To Abnormality 
Is 
Prized By The Vocal Majority 
And 
The Monied Minority! 

Beloved, 

You Are The Child Of The Glorious King! 
Dare To Live 
And 
Lovingly Labor 
Like You Know And Believe It!
 
Don't Compromise With Sin 
For Neither Rest Nor Riches: 
Jesus Christ Is Our Perfect Peace 
And 
Our Eternal Rest! 
Heaven ... Our Eternal Home
Has Streets That Are Paved With Gold!

Peace!
