Are You Proudly Serving Yourself Or Humbly Serving The Savior!?!







The Proud, Presumptuous, Heart 
Will Never Be Humble  ... Or Humble Enough 
To Give In To The Desire To Respect Others 
And 
Their Rights! 

How, Then, Could A Proud Known Self-Serving Person 
Be A True Christ Follower!?! 

The Lord Jesus ... Our Great And Glorious Example
Was Meek And Lowly Of Heart
And 
We Are Told ... Cautioned ... That 
Against A Meek And Gentle Spirit
There Is No Law! 

Beloved, 

Pride 
Is 
A Devilish Trait Of Character 
And 
Presumption
- Acting With Fore-Knowledge And Malicious Intent - 
Is 
Simply Bold, Heaven-Daring, Sinning 
With Mere Men, Women And Children 
Acting As Their Own God: 
The True And Eternal God 
Is 
Lowered To The Status Of A Despised Servant! 

The Proud Heart 
Is 
Its Own God
So, Therefore, A Proud Christian 
And 
A Presumptuous Saint Are Fallacies 
And 
All Of Us Who Are Students Of The School Of Jesus
And 
Of The Family Of God
Presently Striving For The Mastery Of Self 
To Gain The Victory Over Sin 
And 
Escape The Clutches Of Satan
Seriously Need To Return To The Basics: 
Jesus Christ First! 
Truth First! 
Light First! 
The Way First 
Aka Jesus Christ First, Last 
And
Always! 

Truth Frees ... 

Self Is A Sinner: 
The Savior Is Our Sure And Secure Salvation! 

Humility Elevates: 
Pride Decimates! 

Be Wise For Yourself ...

Check Your Attitude: 
Dare To Follow The Book
And
Clean Out To Climb Up! 

Dare To Live In Godly Fear! 
Serving Others Is Not A Bug-Bear! 



Self-Serving Doesn't Serve Self
Because
It Superbly Serves Satan!

bath-ROBE Of Righteousness!?!






Never Ever Make Jokes Out Of The Eternal Word Of God 
Or Use It To Score Points Against Others 
To Satisfy Yourself Aka Your Vanity! 

What Do You Think You're Doing ... 

Imagine Putting On Your Fluffy, Colorful, Bathrobe
And 
Calling It Your "Robe Of Righteousness" 
And 
Having Your Big White Cup Of Tea 
And 
Calling It Your Cup Of "Goodness And Mercy" 
That Will 
"Follow You All The Days Of Your Life!" 

Have You Lost Your Mind!?! 

Plainly Stated
This Is Lawlessness Writ Large 
And 
Serves No Good Purpose 
Save To Mark You As A Ready Tool Of 
The Damned-For-All-Eternity Devil! 
It Is Also Contemptible
And
Is Truly Beneath Anyone Calling Themselves
A Bible-Believing Christian!

Beloved, 

The Word Of God Will Not Be Made A Common Thing 
When We Choose To Remember That 
Jesus Christ The Righteous King
Is 
The Word Of God
And
The Word Of God Who Became Flesh
And
For Our Salvation
Willingly Dwelt Among Us! 

The Robe Of Righteousness 
Is 
The Gift To Be Given To Each Overcomer Of Sin 
And, Obviously
Cannot Be Manufactured
Acquired
Worn 
Or Displayed 
At The Whim And Fancy Of A Deluded 
And 
Corrupt Carnal Mind! 

It's One Thing To Intimately Know The Lord! 
It's Quite Another To Indulge Contemptuous Familiarity!
Please Humbly Remember With Gratitude And Thankfulness
Who Holds Our Lives In His Holy, Healing, Helping Hands! 

Let's Remember That 
We Must Give A Full Accounting To Almighty God
In The Very Person Of The Lord Jesus Christ 
For Our Every Thought, Word And Action 
And
Wisely Choose Here And Now 
To Tread Softly In The Presence Of Almighty God
The Judge Of All Flesh
Holy Angels Who Minister To Us Recipients Of 
Jesus Christ's Free-To-All Salvation 
And 
Men Who Are Our Companions In The Struggle For Life! 

Cheap Shots At 
And 
Through Abuse Of The Word Of God 
Make For Expensive And Even Deadly Wounds 
For Both The Speaker 
And 
Their Hearers! 
Please Do Not Lead Others Astray!

Recalling Foolish Words Is Impossible
So Think Before You Talk ... Trash
And
Pray Before You Spray ... Nonsense! 


Only Jesus Christ Saves Sinners
From
Self, Sin And Satan
Death, The Grave And Hell!

What Kind Of Fruit Are You Serving!?!







Character Flaws ... Found In Every Last One Of Us
Must Be Overcome 
If We Will Enter The Heavenly Paradise Of Peace! 

Nobody Likes A Vengeful, Spiteful
Dishonest, Insincere, Entitled
Proud
And 
Uncontrollable Person! 
Sin 
Is 
Surely Knocking At That Heart's Door!

Our Flaws Aka Faults 
Are Undesirable Traits Of Character 
Which Must Be Gotten Rid Of 
And 
If We Don't We Will Be No More Than 
Nice And Nifty Bouncy Balls 
For Satan The Damned To Use, Abuse, Discard 
And 
Destroy! 

Our Cultivated Character 
Determines
Our Final Destination! 


Beloved, 

Please Be Aware That 
We Are To Confess Our Sins To Almighty God 
And 
Our Flaws To Each Other 
And 
Not The Other Way Around! 
Do Not Be Deceived!

Think Carefully 
About What Your Flaws Have Already Cost You 
And 
How Feeding Your Known Flaws 
Has Encouraged You To Commit Known Sin! 

The God Of Grace ... Known Holy
Loves Us Enough 
To Have Given Us Fruit Of The Holy Spirit 
To Counteract Our Flaws 
And 
It Is In Our Best Interests 
To Change Our Present Direction 
And Allow
Love, Joy, Peace
Gentleness, Goodness, Meekness
Patience, Faithfulness
And 
Self-Control 
To Have Their Wonderful Way In Our Lives 
So That We Do Not Lose The Gifted Home On High 
Which We Cannot Ever Buy! 

Getting Rid Of Habits That Cannot Profit 
Does Not Cost Us Anything Save Time 
Which Is Also A Gift From God!
 
Be Wise ...

Work Out 
Your Own Soul's Already Purchased-For-You Salvation
With Fear And Trembling!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: PRAYER: Looking Beyond My Brethren's Faults!







PRAYER:

Lord,
I Love You
And
I Come In Working Faith, Nothing Wavering
Knowing That You Will Never Turn Me Away Empty-Handed!
I Praise You And Worship And Adore You!

In Your Loving And Holy Presence
I Take Myself To Task Today
And
Humbly, Gratefully, Remind Myself That
You, By Grace And Mercy Free
Looked Beyond My Faults
And
Saw My Needs
And
Have Done All That Is Possible
To Make The Way Plain For Me To Escape Self
And
Depart From Sin
And
Walk Safely Into Salvation!

I Give Unto You Heartfelt Thanks And Praise
And
Ask You To Help Me, In Christian Charity
In Christ-Like Love
To Daily Deal Likewise With My Brethren
As I  ... By Right ... Desire To Enter That Special Gate
In The Glorious Kingdom Above
For The Character-Flaw Of Which
I Shall Be Known An Overcomer!

Please Help Me To Take To Heart
The Lesson You Taught Which States That
Peace-Makers Are Blessed
And
Are Called The Children Of God!

Please Help Me, Dear Father
To Remember Whose I Am
And
The Prize For Which I Am Striving
And
Bless Me To Keep Jesus Christ In My Heart
Zion In My Eyesight
And
A Civil Word On My Tongue
As The Holy Angels Influence Me
To Do What Is Good And Right
While The Holy Spirit Leads Me Into All Truth
And
Gently Corrects Me
When I Stray From The Straight And Narrow Way
To Everlasting Life!

Please Help Me To Bear Good Fruit Unto Righteousness
In Jesus Christ's Holy Name
I Humbly Pray And In Need Plead!
Please Come For Us Soon!
AMEN!

HAPPY SABBATH + Love Loves Another!



 










No Matter What Is Happening In Our Lives
The Words "Nobody Loves Me!" 
Should Ever Escape Anybody's Mouth 
And 
Even Less The Mouth Of A Christian 
Committed To The Lord Jesus Christ! 

When Your Maker Is Your Savior 
And 
The Lover Of Your Soul 
And
Your Redeemer Is Your Rest 
And 
The Refuge Where You Are Made Heart-Whole
Dare To Believe The Words Of Life
And 
Choose To Walk Enduringly ... Faithfully
In The Ways Of The Wise That 
Lead To Everlasting Life! 

Get Close To Him Who 
Is 
A Nurturing Heat 
And 
A Well-Watered Garden Of Abundance 
To Those Desiring Peace With The Heavenly Father 
And
The Consuming Fire 
To Those Who Choose The Way Of 
The Proud And Presumptuous Rebel
Satan The Damned
The Wannabe God! 

Beloved, 

You Are Loved Beyond Measured! 
You Are Blessed Beyond Knowing! 
You Are Comforted Even When It Is Not Visibly Showing 
And
You Are Protected 
Because 
Almighty God's Free Grace To You 
Is 
Ever-Flowing! 

Please, I Beseech Us All
Remember That If You Were The Only Human On Earth
Jesus Christ The Righteous Would Still Have Died To Save You! 
He Died For You
And 
His Love For You 
Is 
For You Alone! 

Jesus Christ Wept Over His Beloved Dead: 
Let Him Rejoice Over Your Salvation With Singing! 

Remember, Remember 
Don't Ever Forget ... 

Love Doesn't Love Love: 
Love Loves Another! 

Love On Someone Today: 
Receive Love By Giving! 

Peace!

Happy, Helped And Hopeful!







Happy ... Helped ... Hopeful: 
This Is The Living Legacy Of 
Almighty God's Love Toward Us Collectively 
And 
Personally Individually! 

Beloved, 

We Who Love The Lord Christ 
And 
Choose To Truly Worship Him By Our Willing Obedience 
Are Blessed Over 
And 
Above Those Who Know Not The Lord! 

Our Happiness 
Is 
From The Lord Of Life! 

Our Help 
Is 
From Him Who Is Our Shepherd, Refuge And Strength
Our Very Present Help 
In Our Times Of Sure-To-Come Trouble! 

Our Hope 
Is 
In Our Savior, Redeemer, Forever Faithful Friend 
Who Knows Our Names, Present And Future
 And
Remembers Our Frame:
He Does Not Forget That We Are Dust! 

In Jesus Christ, We Live And Breathe: 
Without The Breath Of Life From Him
We Most Assuredly Die! 

He Is Real ...

Our Lord's Hands, Feet, Ears And Mouth 
Are Fully Functioning 
And 
I Beseech Us All To Remember That 
With His Hands, He Made Us! 

With His Mouth 
He Called All That We Behold Into Being! 

With His Ears 
He Hears Our Prayers
And 
On Determined Feet He Walked To Calvary 
To Restore Us Who Are Obedient Sheep! 

Trust The Living Word Of Truth ...

Be Happy In Jesus 
The Only One Whose Help Gives Us A Myriad Reasons 
To Have Abundant Hope In The God Who Gives And Forgives
Feeds And Frees
Succors And Sanctifies
And 
Breaks Bounds 
And
Bountifully Blesses The Brave Believer 
Bound For Beautiful Beulah Land! 

Be Joyful In Jesus Christ The King Of Love:
In Him Is Our Perfect Peace!

Heap Those Coals Of Fire!








It Is Said That Revenge Upon One's Enemies 
Is 
Best Served Cold 
Aka Unexpectedly 
And 
With Vicious Stopping-Power! 

To Almighty God's Chosen People
The Answer To This 
Is 
"Nuh Uh!" 
"Nope!" 

As Blessed And Highly Favored Children Of 
The Eternal Who Grants Grace And Inhabits Glory
We Are Called To Be Mind-Bogglingly Kind 
To Those Who To Us Are Not Even Close To Being So! 

Oh, The Beauty Of The Unexpected Kindness 
When Your Enemy Needs Help 
And 
You're The Only One Available To Help 
And 
You Actually, Willingly, Graciously
- For The Love Of God - 
Provide That Help With A Tender Look 
And 
A Gentle Touch! 

What Bliss Is Yours To Have And To Hold! 

Remember, Beloved, 

This Is The Way Of The Savior 
And 
If We Desire To See Him In Peace
This Must Be Our Way! 

We Were Once Enemies Of The Almighty 
And 
He, By Jesus Christ The Righteous
Granted Us The Unimaginable Kindness 
... His Life For Yours ... And Mine! 

There's No Repayment Possible: 
Choose, Instead, To Obey His Blessed Call 
To Be Set Apart For Holy Use 
... To Sanctification ... To Perfection! 

Dare To Smile With The Lord 
In The Face Of The Scorn And Abuse Of Your Enemies: 
Chase Away Evil 
With Your Hand Dripping With Goodness That Shines
With The Light Of Love! 

Peace!

PROSTITUTION: The Loving Relationship!






The Lasting Relationship 
Is 
Built On Comfort
Companionship 
And 
Dependability! 

We Have A Relationship With Almighty God! 
He Provides Us With The Comfort Of The Holy Spirit! 
We Have The Company Of Holy Angels! 

And 

We Are Unerringly Able To Depend On Jesus Christ The Lord 
Whom The Father Has Given To Us For All Eternity! 

All Of The Heavenly Intelligences Are Committed To Our Salvation 
And 
Will Be Coming To Greet Us When ... In The Great Day
Our Redeemer Calls Us Up To Go Home To Glory! 

There Is, However, A Substantial Problem! 

We, Humans, Are Careless 
And 
Non-Committal 
And 
We Operate Under The Attitude That 
Almighty God Is Good 
As Long As He Is Giving To Us Whatever We Call For 
When We Call For It! 

Beloved, 

That ... For Want Of A Nicer Expression
Is 
Prostitution! 
We Can And Should Be Better Than This! 

Love
The Loving Relationship
The Committed, Loving, Lasting, Relationship 
Is 
Built On All Parties Being Present
Actively Involved
Faithfully Enduring
And 
Giving Selflessly! 

Our God Almighty Is Holy 
So He Is Ever-Forgiving
Granting Unto Us Unfailing Grace
Even Though We Are Often Ungrateful! 

We, Weak Wanderers
Need To Go All In 
And 
Trust The Lord's Everlasting Love! 
Please Don't Let Doubt Destroy What It Can't Build! 

Give Your All To Him Who Gave His All To Prosper You! 
Reach Up To Rise Up! 
Wholly Love The Eternal Holy Saving Blessing Giving God! 
Peace!


Relationships Are Not Vacations!
A Lasting Relationship
Is
An All-Day
Every Day
Labor Of Love!

DON'T BE ASHAMED: Open Your Heart To Almighty God!







Our Hope ... A Living And Lively Hope
Is 
In The Lord Of Life ... The King Of Glory
And
No Child Following After The Lord Jesus Christ 
Should Be Unwilling, Afraid, Or Ashamed 
To Go Before Our Heavenly Father 
And 
In Humility Say:

"I'm Sorry! 
I Need You!
Help Me!
Forgive Me!
Guide Me!
Lead Me!
Feed Me!
Correct Me!
Protect Me!
Draw Me Nearer!" 

Truly Loved And Divinely Blessed
We Should Be Pleased To Say:

"Father, I Trust You: 
Help Me To Trust You More!
 
I Need You: 
Help Me To Daily See My Need! 

I Love You: 
Help Me To Daily Love You More!
 
Thank You For Your Grace: 
Help Me To Daily Grow In Grace!
 
I Have Sinned: 
Please Help Me To Humbly Confess
And
Repent Of My Sin 
And
 By The Working Of The Sweet Holy Spirit That 
Leads Me Into All Truth
Help Me Not To Sin 
Against Your Holiness Again! 

I Am Weak: 
Help Me To Be Strong In You, My Lord And My God!
 
I Desire To Reach The Heavenly Home Safely: 
Please Lead Me Gently Home!
 
Help Me To Honor, Worship And Obey You Always!
 
Help Me To Walk In The Ways Of Righteousness 
And
Not Turn Again To Fables!
 
Help Me To Tell The Good News 
Until Jesus Christ Comes 
Or Until My Life On Earth Is Through!
 
My Life Is Yours: 
Keep Me Safe By Thy Dear Side 
As I In You Completely Confide!" 

Brethren, Beloved

Choose To Hold Nothing Back!
Dare To ... With The Confidence Of Unfailing Faith
Open Your Hungering Heart To Almighty God
To Jesus Christ The Lord
Our Soon-Returning Kind King! 

Peace Be Upon You!

Total Obedience Pays!







Obedience ... By Its Very Nature
Is 
An Absolute! 

There Is No Such Thing As Partial-Obedience 
Because
Like Partial-Truth Is A Whole Lie
Partial-Obedience 
Is 
Disobedience 
And
Comes With A Heavy Price Up To 
And 
Including The Loss Of One's Life! 

Adam Disobeyed! 

High Priest Aaron's Sons, Nadab And Abihu
Instantly Lost Their Lives For Drinking 
And 
Presenting Strange Aka Common Aka Unholy Fire 
On The Altar Of God! 

King Saul Went From Being A Humble Servant 
To Indulging In Partial Disobedience 
And 
Covering It Up By Lying! 

He Then Indulged High-Flying, Flagrant 
Aka Planned Disobedience 
By Visiting The Witch Of Endor: 
He Paid For It With His Life! 

Beloved, 

As Committed Christians
We Know What Our Sin Cost Our Lord Christ! 
We Know That We Are Not To Walk In The Ways Of 
Selfishness, Pride, Greed And Covetousness 
Which All Stand On The Back Of Flagrant Disobedience 
And 
Bold Lies! 

By Their Nature
These Traits Cause Us To Hurt Our Maker 
And
Crucify Our Lord Christ Afresh!

Be Warned ...

There Will Be No Liars 
And 
No Disobedient People In Heaven 
So Check Yourself Before You Wreck Yourself! 

Be Faithful ...

Obedience Pays In Eternity's Currency 
So Let's Go All In With Jesus Christ! 


Peace With Almighty God
Through Jesus Christ The Lord
Is
Promised
Precious
Provided
And
Perfect!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: What Are You Doing!?!






Consider That We Are Not Condemned For What We Have Done 
But For What ... Being Necessary
We Have Free-Will-Chosen Not To Do! 

Walking In Darkness
Is
A Choice! 

Consider That We Are Not Condemned For Loving Lies 
But For Willfully Choosing To Hate The Truth! 

Beloved, 

Would You Really Want To Be Known As Someone 
Who Tenderly Loves Satan 
And 
Truly Hates The Lord Christ 
Who Created, Maintains, Sustains, Saves 
And
Redeems You From Sin, Death, The Grave And Hell!?! 

Is Indulging Your Costly Pet Sin 
Worth More To You Than Your Own Soul's Free Salvation!?! 

Is Holding On To Your Dark, Bitter, Hurtful, Yesterdays 
Worth More To You 
Than Having Almighty God's Promised Sweet Eternity Of Peace!?! 

Are You Refusing To Hold Love 
Because 
You Are Embracing Hatred!?! 

Are You Feeling Sorry For Yourself 
Instead Of Being Happy That 
Jesus Christ The Kind King Knows Your Name 
And 
Fills Your Needs!?! 

Think! 

You Can't Change Yesterday By Hating Today 
But 
You Can Influence Your Hoped-For Tomorrow 
By What You Do Today! 

The Sacred Gift Of Present Time 
Is-
Made For Change 
So Please Let Jesus Christ 
- By The Holy Spirit Of Truth -
Make All Your Wrong Things Right
By Your Willingness To Be Fed
To Be Taught
To Be Corrected
And
To Be Protected From Self, Sin And Satan! 

Let Go Of Sinful Self
And
Self-Serving Self-Satisfaction
And 
Let Almighty God Good, Gracious, Giving 
And 
Forgiving
Rid You Of What Will Not ... What Cannot
Profit You On The Great Judgment Day! 

Where There Is Life, There Is Hope!
I Commend You To The Living Holy Faithful God Of Grace!

Walk In The Light
Which Leads To Eternal Life!

HAPPY SABBATH: INAPPROPRIATE WORDS CONDEMN: Silence Is Golden!


 
 






This World In Which We Live 
Is 
Notorious For Its Citizens' Love Of Being Loud And Proud
For Raucously Enjoying One-Upmanship
And 
Having The Last Word Spoken In Every And All Conversations 
Even If Their Position Is Erroneous 
And 
Their Behavior Patently Egregious Aka Shockingly Abusive! 

Beloved, 

As Children Of The Heavenly Father 
Bought Back From Death 
By The Uncomplaining, Quiet, Sacrifice Of Jesus Christ
No Committed Christian 
Should Ever Conduct Themselves In So Unseemly A Manner! 

Jesus Christ Was 
And Is 
Our Perfect Example 
And 
He Has Left Us With Ample Evidence Of 
How We Must Conduct Ourselves 
In The Presence Of Frenemies Aka Friendly-Enemies
Adversaries, Gainsayers, Doubters
Unbelievers And Disbelievers! 

A Common Adage 
Is 
"Let People Think That You're Stupid: 
Don't Open Your Mouth And Prove It!" 

As Travellers To Hill Zion
We Would All Do Well To Emulate Our Master 
And 
Dare To Keep Our Own Counsel: 
It Is Free! 

Think About It ...

Satan The Damned Ain't Almighty God
So He Can't Read Your Mind
And
People Like Yourself Can't Read Your Mind
Soooo ... Save The Eternal Holy God Of Grace In Glory 
Nobody Created Knows What Is In Your Heart 
Unless You Open Your Mouth! 

Brethren, Beloved 

Know Your Savior Who Calls You To His Side! 
Know His Saving Word That Blesses You In Truth To Abide! 
Know Yourself In Jesus Christ Who For You Willingly Died
And 
Choose To Let Your Appropriate, Golden, Silence 
Be Your Loud-Speaker:
Do Not Into Cheap, Nasty And Snide Remarks Dare To Slide! 

Inappropriate Words Condemn 
So Let Your Words Be Few! 
The Lord Christ Is Judge! 

Pray For Peace!
