VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Self-Denial Does Not Fork!







Self-Denial 
Is 
The Strait, Hard, Road Upon Which 
Every Christ-Follower Must Enduringly Walk! 
It Is The Pathway To Hill Zion 
And
It Does Not Fork! 

Self-Denial Has The Tarmac Called Truth 
And 
For Illumination
It Has The Light Of Life
And 
All Who Are Determined, By Heavenly Grace, To Stay Thereon
Have Holy Angels Excelling In Strength For Personal Protection 
And
Encouragement 
Until Life Shall End! 

Beloved, 

When We Walk With Jesus Christ The Lord
We Cannot Play Footsie With Satan, King Fraud 
Because 
Who Is Not Working With Jesus Christ 
Is 
Striving ... Working ... Against Him 
And
That State Of Affairs 
Shall Have No Blessed-Forever Beautiful Ending! 

Please Do Not Let Your Carnal Self Cause You To Sin 
By Doing What You Truthfully Know Is The Wrong Thing: 
Wrong Is Never Right 
And 
Right Is Never Wrong 
And
Re-Mixing Them To Suit Your Desire 
Is 
Going To Get You A Berth In The Lake Of Fire Pyre! 

There Is No Excuse For Sin
And 
The Devil Didn't Make You Do It! 

Check Your Words, Thoughts And Actions 
And
Cease Living By And For 
Chemical, Emotional, Reactions! 

Faithfully Walk In Accord 
With Jesus Christ The Lord Our King! 
 


Positively ... Passionately
Pursue Peace
With The Prince Of Peace

HAPPY SABBATH + HAVE FAITH IN GOD: "Pastor Said!" Ain't The Word Of God!









Have Faith In God
Father Son And Holy Spirit! 

Have Faith In God: 
The Race Is Not For The Swift 
But For Those Running To Win It! 

Have Faith In God: 
He Gives Unto You His Holy Faith
So Use It! 
Have Faith, Dear Ones, In God! 

Many Are The Urgent Calls To Idol-Worship
To Live By "Personal-Truth" 
And 
To Rise By Self-Elevation 
But
These All Lead To Disillusionment
Disappointment
Sorrow And Despair
And 
Cause The Straying One To Hesitate
And
Look Back 
When One Should Ever Look Unto Jesus Christ 
And 
Sue For Peace 
And 
To Receive His Gift Of New Life! 

Beloved, 

Peace Is Precious!
Faith Is Free!
Grace Is Available 
And 
Mercy Washes Over Me And Thee! 

Please Don't Be Complacent
Proud Or Don't Care-ish 
And
Don't Follow The Multitude 
Looking To Three-Step Plans 
To Get Miracles In Your Sleep 
Or Depend On What "Pastor Said" 
When It Is Jesus Christ, Alone
Who Causes Your Heart Constantly To Beat! 

Pride Goes Before The Fall! 
Hate Turns You Into A Murderer! 
Jesus Christ's Truth 
Sets Men Women And Children Free 
And
It Is Our Duty
For Love
Because 
Of Certain Hope That 
We Should Walk Before Him Softly ... Humbly! 

From Sin And Sinning
Beat A Hasty Retreat!

SATAN ASSAILS: Jesus Christ, Alone, Saves!

 




Jesus Christ 
Is 
Our Guardian And Defender
Provider, Protector
Creator, Savior
Forever Friend
Lord And Holy God

Satan 
Is 
Man's Deceiver And Accuser
The Murderer Most Foul Who Hates Jesus Christ 
The Righteous Judge And Everlasting King
The Good Book Of Blessings
And 
You, Personally
The Beneficiary Of The Eternal God's Love 
And 
Great Favor! 

You, Beloved, Are Between Them! 
You Must Make Known Your Choice! 
Neither One Will Force Your Hand
And
Your Free-Will Decision 
Determines Whether You Will Bitterly Cry 
Or  Forever Happily Rejoice! 

Jesus Saves! 
Satan Assails! 

Jesus Bathes Us! 
Satan Blames Us! 

Jesus Loves Us! 
Satan Lies To Us! 

Jesus Blesses Us! 
Satan Bewitches Us! 

Jesus Calls Us! 
Satan Claws Us! 

Jesus Carries Us! 
Satan Careens Us! 

Beloved, 

The Facts Are Unchanged: 
Choose Jesus Christ
And 
Be Eternally Blessed And Saved! 
Choose Satan 
And 
Be Gamed And Chained And Eternally Damned! 

Pay Attention ...

We Can Be Guarded About Accepting Jesus Christ
And 
Be Roundly Defeated By Satan!
 
We Can Be Loyal To Satan 
And 
Be The Enemy Of Our Lord 

Or

We May Choose To Take Jesus Christ At His Living, Holy, Word 
And 
Aggressively Deny The Liar, Satan
And 
Humbly Take Up Your Cross 
And 
Follow Our Dear Lord To The Great Reward! 

Please Don't Fall For The Sophistries 
The Lies
The Lures Of Satan, King Fraud
The Wannabe God! 

Please Stand Up For Jesus Christ,
The True And Living Holy God! 

Peace!

Jesus Christ
Could Make Us Serve Him
But
He Won't! 

Satan
Would Make Us Serve Him
But
He Can't! 
Stand Up For Christ Jesus!

Trusting Almighty God's Positioning System






Don't Let Anybody Make You Feel Small 
Becaus
You Accept The Holy Word
Know Your Own Wretched Condition
And 
Clearly Say To All Listeners That 
You Personally Need King Jesus! 

Beloved, 

Please Ever Remember That 
You Are A Product Of Man's Fall 
And 
Firmly Choose To Remain Humble Before Your Lord 
No Matter What The Naysayers Say 
Or What Game The Gainsayers Play! 

In The Presence Of That Unbelieving Lot
Diligently, Gracefully, Live By Saving Faith 
And 
Willingly Walk Wisely: 
Don't Run About Like A Chicken With Its Head Cut Off! 
Only Jesus Christ Saves!

Cling To The Truth ...

Striving For Heaven 
Is Not 
A Turkey Shoot 
Or A Ball-Game Lucky Shot: 
It's A Sure And Secure Promise! 

If You Can Trust A Fallible Human Like Yourself
You Should Decidedly, Ardently, Trust Your Creator 
Who Is Not A Fallible Creature
But Is
All-Seeing
All-Knowing
And
Ever-Present
 
And

Being Wise Unto Your Own Soul's Salvation
Dare To Live Like You Totally Trust 
Almighty God's Positioning System! 

Beloved, 

Please Don't Let Harsh Words Or Stony Faces 
Turn Your Stomach Sour
Poison Your Push For Purity 
Or Cause You To Defy 
And 
Deny Your Savior And Redeemer: 
The Good Book Doesn't Boast 
And 
The Great And Glorious God Of Glory Can't Lie! 

Please Dare To Face Your Fears Through 
Saving Grace And Enduring Faith 
And 
Therewith Press On 
Until You Reach The Sweet Bye And Bye! 

Choose ... By Available Grace ... To Stick To The Plan: 
We're Pilgrims And Strangers 
And
We're Just Passing Through The Earth! 
Longingly Think About Going Home To Heaven!

Remember, Remember 
Don't Ever Forget ... 

Peace With God 
Is 
Profitably Pleasurable!

The Heavenly Storehouse Elevator + PRAYER: Father, Please Help Us To Fix Our Eyes On King Jesus!







There Is No Created Being That

So Never Let The Harsh, Often Cruel, Voice Of Opposition 
Stop You From Boarding 
And 
Calmly Riding
The Heavenly Storehouse's Always-Available Elevator!

Prayer Brings Us Up To Almighty God
And
Is Like Our Communicating With Our Very Best Friend

Praising Your Holy Name! 

I Am Grateful, Lord

Christ In Me
My Hope To See My Jesus In Peace
And
To Get Home To My Place In Your House In Glory! 

Lord, 
You Have Plainly Told Us That In This World 
We Shall Have Tribulation 
And
You Have Asked Us To Be Of Good Cheer
- To Be Happy - 
Because You, In Your Flesh
For Our Salvation
Overcame The World! 

Thank You For The Knowledge
And
Thank You For The Grace 
Given To Help Us

We Daily Hear! 

Please Help Us, Dear Lord
To Faithfully Live On The "Thus Saith The Lord!" 
The Truth That Is Life
The Light That Is Our Prince Shiloh
Our Perfect Peace 
King Jesus
Upon Whom We Ask You
To Help Us Firmly Fix Our Eyes
And
In Whose Name We Humbly Pray! 
I Love You, Lord! 
Please Come For Us Soon! 
AMEN!

DISOBEDIENCE: Are You A Strange Child!?!










Are You A Strange Child Who Is A Traitor To The Lord Of Life
Your Creator, Savior, Redeemer, And Forever Friend!?! 

Have You Forgotten For A Moment Whose Child You Are!?! 

Are You Forgetting That Jesus Christ, The Lamb Of God
Justifies You ... Takes Away Your Guilt Before The Father 
And
Jesus Christ ... Our High Priest 
Sanctifies Us ...  Sets Us Apart For Holy Use  
- By The Holy Spirit Of Truth -
From The Day We Confess Our Sin 
And 
Repent Aka Turn Away From Our Sin
Until The Day That We Die!?! 

Are You Forgetting That You Are The Light Of The World
And 
The Salt Of The Earth!?! 

Is Your Light Shining Brightly!?! 

What Sermon Is Your Life Preaching 
To Those Who See You Daily!?! 

Are You A Tasty Salt-Lick ... A Blessing
Or Are You Totally Tasteless 
And 
Fit Only To Be Cast Before Swine 
And 
Trodden Under Men's Feet!?! 

Brethren, Beloved

Please Never Forget That The Eternal God Knows 
And
Faithfully Records 
All That We Say And Do! 
Please Never Forget That We Sin Daily
By Thought, Word And Deed! 

Beloved, 

If You're Falling Short
Please Humble Yourself
And
Pray To Stop The Rot: 
Plead For Grace To Get Back On Track! 

If You're Doing Well
Don't Get Complacent: 
Continue To Pray For Available Grace 
And
Press On! 

Working Faith Can't Fail! 


Peace With Almighty God
Is
Precious!

The Lord Is Strong ... For Obedient-You!





"Why Me!?" 
Is 
A Favored Expression Among Men When Life Goes South 
And 
It Seems That The Devil's Minions Are Chewing Our Liver! 

Beloved, 

Be Warned: 
Disobedience Costs! 

When We Dare To Walk In Our Own Counsels
According To Our Own Understanding
Doing What Pleases Our Selves 
Because Of 
Vanity, Arrogance 
And 
Pride
We Act Foolishly 
And
Receive The Fool's Portion! 

Did Not The Fool Say In His Heart That 
There Is No God!?! 

Both Cream 
And
Rotten Eggs 
Rise To The Top And Float 
And 
Receive Abundant Attention: 
The Rotten Eggs Get Destroyed! 

The Lord, Our Shepherd
The King, Our Judge
Is 
Watching
Is 
Seeing
And 
Working With Love! 

The Lord Chastises
The Ones That He Loves!

The Work That We Do Will Commend 
Or
Condemn Us 
So Think Twice ... Even Thrice
When You Put Stumbling Blocks In The Path Of Your Brethren
When You Stand Against Truth
When You Choose Feelings Over Faith
When You Choose To Do The Work Of The Adversary Of Souls, Satan
And 
Bring The Good Lord's Name Into Disgrace! 

Don't Dig Your Grave With Your Teeth 
Or 
Burn Down Your Own House With Your Tongue! 
Do Right!
Love With Your Head, Heart And Hands 
And 
Be At Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: ENCOUNTERING CHRIST: Be Salt!







The Old Saw Says: 

"Whatever Is In The Olde Goat
Is In The Kiddie!"
 
We Act According To Our Nature 
And 
We Live What We Learn

And Then 

As Consenting Adults 
- Wisely Or Unwisely -
We Eagerly Practice Patiently 
What We Willingly Choose To Pursue! 

Beloved, 

We May Have Been Born With Sinful
Variable, Changeable, Natures 
But
When We Encounter The Lord Christ 
And 
Place Our Hands In His Holy Hands
And
Choose To  Follow Him 
Through The Diligent Exercise Of 
Enduring, Working, Faith 
And 
Unceasing Prayer 
With The Holy Spirit Doing The Effectual Good Work In Us
We Get Rid Of The Old Sinner Man
And
Become A Blessed Saint Of God And Christ 
As, With Enduring Patience, We Await The Day 
When Our Change Comes 
And 
We Become Like Him Who Created Us! 

We Are What We Eat 
And 
We Get Fleas From Where We Sleep!

We Have Free Will And Free Choice
And
No Created Being Can Make You Serve God
And
No Created Being Can Make You Serve The Devil! 

The Lord Of Life Won't Make You Serve Him
And
The Damned Devil Can't Make You Serve Him! 

Let Us Choose Our Walking Path Wisely And Righteously! 
Let Us Endeavor From This Day Forward
To Make The Exercise Of Faith 
And
The Practice Of Constant Praying 
Our Steady, Unchangeable, Diet!
 
With The Great God's Grace Covering Us
Let Us Freely Choose To Pray More 
And
Let Us ... With Confidence
Dare To Request An Increase In Our Daily Gift Of Faith
Which Shall Surely Be Tried: 
What Jesus Gives That We Utilize Can Never Fail Or Fail Us! 

Beloved, 

Let The World Know Whose Child You Are
And
Show Them The Light That Is Guiding Us
To The Glorious City Of The Forever Blessed! 
Be Salt! 

Jesus Christ's Peace
Is
Pure!

HAPPY SABBATH + EXERT YOUR PRIVILEGE: Wrestle With Your Lord!








Strangely, We Can Always Find Time To Gossip
To Cuss-Out People
To Belittle People
And
Even Find Time To Tear-Down Our Own Selves! 

We Say That We Love The Lord Christ
And 
Most Assuredly Know That 
He Answers Humble, Heartfelt, Prayers Of Faith 
And Yet
With The Myriad Needs Known Abundant In This Mortal Life
We Dismally Fail To Make Good Use Of
Our Access To The God Of Grace
The King Of Glory 
And
Sunnily Neglect To Reach For 
The Extended Hand Of Help And Healing That
Is
Always Just A Prayer Away! 

We Rob Ourselves Of The Grand And Glorious Pleasure Of 
Grasping The Great Good Given To God's Faithful People
Because 
We Find Time To Talk Turkey And Baloney
Instead Of Truth And Blessing! 

Beloved, 

Our Priorities Are Skewed! 
Our Interests Are Pitiable 
And 
Even Downright Lawless 
Because
We Are Short-Changing Ourselves By Neglecting Our Prayers 
Aka Our Intimate Moments With Our Forever Friend
Our Father In Heaven! 

Remember, Remember
Don't Ever Forget ...

There Is Much That We May Receive From The Hand Of God 
But 
Will Not Receive 
Because 
We Do Not Ask For Our Godly Desires Through Prayer! 

Prayer 
Is As
Opening Your Heart As To Your Very Best Friend
So, Pray
  Ask In Faith
    Believe The Preserved Word
      Persist In Prayer
        Trust The Giver
          Align Your Desires With The Word Of God 
And
              Keep Your Hand Out ... And Your Heart Open! 

The Lord Our God Ain't A Lying, Dying, Man
And
He Doesn't Bad-Talk Us 
For Asking For His Good And Perfect Gifts
As He, Himself, Has Asked Us To Request: 
He Cherishes The Gift Of Our Trust! 

Let's Stop Starving Our Own Souls
And
Militantly ... But Humbly ... Get The Business Done!
Prayer Is An Oasis
So, Pray, Pray, Pray
And
Infinitely Enjoy 
The Fabulous Feast Of The Forever-Blessed!



Do A Jacob
And 
Wrestle With Your Lord
And
Get Yourself
Your Free Name-Change!

STRENGTHEN THE WEAK KNEES: No Need To Feel Depressed Or Hopeless!










It Is Very Easy To Become Depressed Or Hopeless 
Until We Remember That 
Whatever Is Done Unto Us By Our Adversary
Falls Squarely 
On The Holy Head Of Our Lord Jesus Christ! 

Beloved, 

Roses Have Thorns
Days Have Nights
Laughter Follows Sorrow
Salvation Kills Sin
Light Chases Darkness
And 
Jesus Christ 
Is 
Near And Coming Again! 

Strengthen The Weak Knees ...

Let Us Of The Household Of Faith 
Choose To Accept, Understand 
And 
Remember That The Holy Spirit
Is
Our Comforter, Teacher And Corrector
And That 
It Is By The Gift Of Daily Faith Daily Received That 
We Believe In Jesus ... In The Word Of Truth
And Thereby 
We Are Then Able To Experience Perfect Peace 
In The Midst Of The Constant Storms Of Life! 

By The Lord's Great Grace Shown Towards Us
We Are Able To Have Joy
For It Is Jesus Christ, Alone
Who Causes Us To Have Joy ... True Happiness
In And For Daily Living! 

Carnal Logic Says: 

"Take What You Want
And
Pay For It!" 

Jesus Christ, Our Savior And Redeemer, Says: 

"Take Me
For I Have Paid
For All That You Need!" 

I Beseech Us All, Brethren
Dare To Steadfastly Hold Unto 
Almighty God's Unchanging Hand! 

Dare To Take The One Needful Step Toward King Jesus: 
He Is Reaching Out To You 
Even As He Is Holding You Close To 
And 
In His Heart

And 

Please Let The Holy Spirit Start
Continue 
And 
Finish The Good Work In You! 

Enjoy Jesus ... Peace!

HUMBLE YOURSELF: Fix Your Face And Your Attitude!







Pride 
Is 
An Ugly Emotion To Display No Matter Who You Are 
Or 
What You Supposedly Have In Your Possession 
And
It Is An Even Uglier, Deadlier, Emotion 
To Display In The Presence Of The Holy God
To Whom We Are Indebted For The Very Air That 
We Breathe To Even Live One Single, Solitary Moment! 

Beloved, 

The Lord Of Life Says To Us: 

Come Boldly And Without Ceasing 
And
By Prayer And Supplication, Pleading
Make Your Requests For Care, Comfort
Food, Friendship And The Future Home
Hope, Help And Healing
Grace, Goodness And Relief From Grief

With Love
The Lord Chastises Those Who Are His Very Own
And 
Our Being Angry At Almighty God 
Does Not Negate His Love Nor His Provision 
So, Please, Do Permit Pride To Stop You 
From Letting Your Requests Be Made Known Unto God 
Who Provides For You According To His Riches In Glory 
And 
Not According To Your Need! 

Please Dare To Be Humble 
No Matter Who Calls You Stupid
And
Dare To Pray Passionately 
No Matter Who Calls Our Holy God A Fairy Tale! 

Our Enduring Faith Will Be Rewarded Above All Imagining: 
Humbly Pray, Willingly Obey
And 
Ardently Press On! 

Please Watch Your Mouth
Fix Your Face
And 
Correct Your Attitude
And 
Take Your Assigned Place! 

Jesus Christ 
Is 
Always The Answer: 
Humility Exalts!

Choose To Walk Through
This Vale Of Tears
In Perfect Peace
With
The Prince Of Peace
Lovingly Leading!
