Being Ashamed Of Sin Is A Good Thing!

Shame 

Is 

The Teacher Not To Be Ignored

Because

The Ability To Feel Shame

Is

A Gift Of The Eternal God Our Lord

To Cause Us To Walk In Repentance

And

Help Us To Confess And Make Wrong Things Right

So That We May Be Cleansed And Forgiven

For Sinning Against The Holy God! 

Shame 

Is 

Synonymous With Sin And Guilt 

And 

If We Refuse To Express Shame 

For Our Having Committed Known Sin

For Which We Are Known Guilty

We Make Our Maker, God, King 

And 

Judge 

A White-Mouthed Liar! 

We Then Become God 

Because 

We Have Determined That 

We Know More Than He Who Made Us!

We Did Not Make Ourselves! 

Beloved, 

The Living God In Glory

Through The Innocent Blood Jesus Christ 

- Shed For Us At Calvary -

Willingly Offers 

And 

Graciously Gives Of His Free Grace 

To Us Who Choose

- By Faith In The Eternal Word 

And

The Finished Work Of Jesus - 

To Experience ... Express

The Necessary Shame For Our Trespasses 

Against His Holiness! 

Let Us, Therefore, 

Cease From Our Arrogance 

And 

Humble Ourselves Before The Great God 

And 

Display Real Shame

True Sorrow

Biting Regret

And 

Heart-Felt Repentance 

For Crucifying Our Lord Christ

Time And Again! 

Be Ye Warned ... 

Satan Refused 

To Feel Ashamed For His Known-Sinful Pride

Greed, Arrogance, Selfishness, Lies 

And

Treachery Against His Maker 

And

By So Doing

Sealed His Own Destruction 

And 

That Of The One-Third Of Heaven's Angels 

He Willfully, Maliciouslyly, Cruelly Deceived! 

Being Ashamed Of Sin 

Is 

A Very Good Thing: 

Let It Make You, Help You

And 

Guide You 

To Walk The Straight And Narrow Way To Heaven!

 

Sue For Peace

With

The Eternal God!

Choose The Good Part!

The Lord In Zion Does Not Sleep Nor Wear Dark Glasses: 

He Sees Us All Always! 

No Matter What Is Happening In Your Life

No Matter How Close To You Your Adversary Is

- Be It By Blood, Affection, Faith Or Affiliation -

Please Do Not Indulge In Their Tactics Aka Fighting Fire With Fire! 

Remember Always Whose Child You Are 

And 

Always Remember That The Weapons Of Our Warfare 

Against The Published And Private Agents Of Satan 

Are Spiritual ... Not Carnal

And

Choose To Fight Fire With The Faith Of Jesus Which Cannot Fail

 And

The Key In The Hand Of Faith ... Called Prayer

Which Unlocks Heaven's Storehouses 

Wherein Is The Abundance That Almighty God

- Through Jesus Christ Our Lord - 

Makes Available To His People 

By Request For Patience, Provision, Protection, Purity

And

Peace! 

Beloved, 

Satan Is The Condemned And Damned Liar

The Murderer Of Lives, Loves, Hopes And Dreams 

And 

All Who Walk In Charity With Him Doing His Dread Bidding

Shall Join Him 

In The One-Way, No-Escape Lake Burning With Fire And Brimstone! 

Remember, Remember 

Don't Ever Forget ... 

Evil Does Not Go Unpunished 

No Matter Who Is Doing It

And 

Good Does Not Go Unrewarded

No Matter Who Is Performing It! 

Use Your Free Will

And

Your Right To Choose

To Always Choose The Good Part Of This Life

So That The Lord's Best Blessings

Will Fall Abundantly Upon You! 

Look Up To 

And

Embrace The Lord Of Light, Love, Grace And Glory: 

Walk In Wise Ways ... Not Damnable Folly!

There Is No Heavenly Profit For Sinning!

Trust The Lord Always

Because

He Is Our Refuge

And

Our Strength!

 

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!

And 

Give Praise And Thanks 

For The Gifts Of Perfect Love That 

We Constantly Receive

Even Though We Often Live Lives 

Which Merit Us Being Among 

The Cast-Out Disgraced!

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

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

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!
