Incline Your Heart To Jesus Christ Our Lord!

Every True Believer In The Lord Jesus Christ As 

The Word Of God

The Truth That Saves

The Only Way To Get Home To Our Father In Heaven 

And

The Life Of Every Man

Completely Trusts Him 

To Light The Way To The Promised Land! 

Beloved, 

Trusting The Lord 

Is Not 

A Sometime

Maybe Here

Perhaps There Proposition! 

We Are Called To Walk By Unfailing, Unwearied

Unfaltering Faith 

And 

Not Lying Eyesight! 

We Are Not To Permit The Circumstances Of Life 

To Stop Us From Leaning Upon 

And

Solely, Wholly, Trusting Almighty God 

When We Just Want To Lash Out Or Give Up! 

Trials And Temptations Come And Go 

But

The  Word Of God

Jesus Christ The King

Stands Victorious Forever! 

Let Us, Therefore, Remember That 

Goodness, Light, And Truth 

Can Never Be Extinguished! 

Let Us Choose To Be Amongst Those 

Who Will Stand Up For Jesus Christ

Always Speak The Truth In Love

And

Unflinchingly Do Good! 

Truth Spreads Light 

And

Light Shines Out Of Goodness 

And 

Marks The Way Home! 

We Belong To The King Of Love

The Shepherd Of Rest

So Do Not Fear Your Lived Life 

Because 

Our Almighty God Known Faithful

Is 

He Who Has Promised Us His Eternal Life

The Life Which Mortal Life Cannot Touch Or Eclipse! 

Please Choose To Endure ... By Saving Grace

What You Cannot Cure! 

The Best Days Are Just Ahead! 

Brethren, Beloved

Believe, Trust, Honor

Worship, Praise

And 

Faithfully Obey The Lord Christ 

And 

Soon To Highest Heaven 

You Shall Surely Soar! 

No Matter The Matter

No Matter The Pain Or Shame

The Loss Or Supposed Gain

Incline Your Heart To Jesus Christ The Lord 

And 

Not To The Life Of Wickedness

Where The Name Of Almighty God Is Profaned! 

Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Who Is Really Controlling You!?!

Please Commit This Text To Memory! 

Whoever Controls Your Mind, Controls You ... Completely! 

Beloved, 

It Is Not For Nothing That 

We Are Often Told 

Not To Let "Them" Get Inside Our Heads! 

For Christians, The Them That 

You Don't Want Getting Inside Your Head 

Aka Influencing Your Thoughts, Words, And Actions 

Are Evil Angels Who Desire To Help You To Destroy Yourself 

By Influencing You To Willfully, Knowingly

Disobey Jesus Christ The Lord! 

There Are Many Of Us Who Blithely Say That 

"You Can't Tell Me What To Do!" 

While Casually Allowing The Adversary Of Souls

- Through His Wicked Workmen Aka His Fallen Angels - 

To Influence Their Thinking 

Which Authors Their Words 

Which Directs Their Actions! 

Just Watch A Person's Actions 

To Know Who Master-Minded Their Thoughts 

Which Caused Them To Speak To Themselves 

To Empower Themselves 

To Indulge In Gross Folly ... Evil! 

Those Who Listen To The Holy Spirit 

Strive To Do What Is Good And Right! 

Those Who Listen To The Lying Spirit 

Willingly Do Whatever, Because ... Why Not!?! 

Those Who Walk With Christ Have Brakes 

Aka A Lively Conscience! 

Those Who Are Being Driven By The Devil 

Ride With Blind Eyes 

In A Morris Minor 

With A Nuclear-Powered Engine 

On The Broad "Smooth" Road 

To Self-Manufactured 

And 

Sure Ruin! 

Is The Holy Spirit Of Truth

By The Holy Angels Excelling In Strength

Really Influencing You!?! 

Is The "Thus Saith The Lord!"

The Key To Your Life!?!

Are You Really Sure!?! 

Peace! 

Look Up To Jesus Christ

And

Being Ever Obedient

- By Saving Grace -

You Will Ever See

And

You Will Always Choose

To Do Good Always!

HAPPY SABBATH + This The Way: Walk Ye In It!

 

Why Do We Dare To Say To The Lord Of Life

The Judge Of All Flesh: 

"Teach Us Thy Way 

And We Will Walk Faithfully In It!" 

And Then 

Boldly Choose To Walk As Rebels Without A Cause 

Following A Dragon Who Has Never Won A Fight

Against Our Beloved Savior!?! 

We All Have The Right To Know The Will 

Aka The Requirements Of Almighty God

And 

To Go About Doing Them 

As Our Marching Orders Of The Day 

So That We ... In The Time Allotted

May Sow Good Seeds Which Will Surely Bear 

Good Fruit Unto Righteousness That 

The Lord Himself Shall Accept In The Glad Day! 

Beloved, 

You Have Said That 

You Will Faithfully Follow Jesus Christ

No Matter What Your Lot In Life!

 

Why, Then, Are You Playing Pat-A-Cake 

With A Homeless, Earth-Tied, Fire-Bound

Unregenerate, Irredeemable Lost Cause Like Satan 

Through Willful Disobedience!?! 

Satan Cannot Return To His Former Heavenly Home 

So His Task Is To Make You As He Is: 

Dispossessed, Disowned, Damned 

And 

Marked For Destruction!

Choose To Be Obedient 

And 

Stay On The Straight, Strait, Path 

By Habitually Practicing What The Lord Preached! 

With Patient Faith Working For Love 

And 

With Willing Obedience

Rest Assured That By God-Given Right 

You Shall Enter The Pearly Gates Of 

The Home That Is Called The Paradise Of God! 

On The Path To Eternal Life 

Is 

The Truth That Hurts, Helps 

And 

Heals The Hope-Filled Heart: 

Never Forget It! 

Peace!

Do You Love Your Gifts More Than You Love The Giver!?!

 

How Grateful Are You!?! 

How Thankful Are You!?! 

When You Are The Recipient Of A Gift

- Be It Expensive Or Economy Class - 

Do You Hold Tightly The Gift Or The Giver!?! 

Do You Consider The Price Of The Gift 

Or The Love That The Giver Has For You 

Because 

They Thought Of You And Your Need

Or 

That Because Of Their Love For You

They Gave You A Gift According To Their Love 

And

The Depth Of Their Pocket ... Just Because! 

Beloved, 

Jesus Christ Thinks Of Us ... His Lost Lambs And Sheep 

Who Have Strayed From The Fold Of Safety

And 

Because He Loves Us With An Everlasting Love

He Gives Us Gifts Seen And Unseen

Known And Unknown

Unexpected

And 

Unappreciated 

But 

Always Needed

Out Of His Amazing Love

To Bless

To Save

To Convince

To Convict

To Comfort

And 

To Convey His Love For Us 

And 

To Carry Us Willing

Back To The Heavenly Home!

 

All Of Jesus Christ's Gifts To Us 

Are Out Of His Riches In Glory! 

All Of Jesus' Gifts To You ... Personally

Are Out Of The Heart Of Love That 

Will Not Let You Go Poor, Wretched, Miserable

Blind, Hungry, Naked

And 

Ignorant 

To Eternal Ruin 

Without Having Made It Possible 

For You To Be Rich, Happy, Comforted

Healthy, Seeing, Clothed

And 

Blessed Forever! 

Brethren, Beloved

You Are Loved Without Measure!

You Are Loved Without Limit: 

Dare To Love The Gift-Giver 

Whose Gifts To You Are Always Good And Perfect! 

Peace

With Jesus Christ The Lord

Is

The Precious Panacea!

Salvation Is A Fruitful Tree!

Think About It ...

Unconfessed Sin Is Unrepented Sin! 

Unrepented Sin Is Unforgiven Sin! 

Unforgiven Sin Leaves Us Unsaved 

And

By Choice

Unacceptable To Enjoy Jesus Christ's Glory! 

The Unsaved By Jesus Christ

Are Those Who Are Not Sealed By The Holy Spirit! 

Those Who Are Not Sealed By The Holy Spirit 

Are Those Bearing The Mark Of Satan 

And 

They Will Be Lost From The Living Kingdom

And 

Eternally Damned Aka Separated From The Living God! 

Can You Bear In Your Person 

What Jesus Christ Bore For You On The Cross Of Calvary 

When, In Anguish Of Spirit, He Cried: 

"My God, My God

Why Have You Forsaken Me!?!" 

Beloved, 

Be Strong In The Lord 

And 

In The Power Of His Might! 

Be Strong In Him Who Has

- By Shedding His Innocent Blood -

Promised Never To Leave You Or Forsake You! 

Be Strong In Him Who 

Is 

Our Refuge And Strength! 

Be Strong In Our Jesus Who, Alone, Saves 

And 

Has Made The Way Home Plain

And Is Even Now At Your Right Hand

Pleading With You ... To Please Draw Near! 

By Creation And By Redemption

You Belong To Christ! 

By Will And Walk

Please Show The World That 

You Are Owned 

And 

That You Are ... By Faith

Headed To Your Forever Home! 

Salvation Is A Fruitful Tree: 

Greedily Eat And Abundantly Live! 

Pass The Word Along! 

Peace!

THUS SAITH THE LORD: Consider Your Ways!?!

Our Lord Is The God Of Order: 

There Is No Waste In Order! 

Now, Then, Let Us Ponder The Fact That 

When The Lord Repeats Himself

It Is Important For Us To Heed What He Saying

To Take Firm Note Of Where He Is Pointing 

And 

Seek To Ascertain What His Word Personally Means 

To Us Individually! 

Beloved, 

When The Lord Twice Says: 

"Consider Your Ways!" 

It Is Because There Is Something Within Our Character

- Our Projected Behavior -

That Is Off-Center 

And Thus 

Displeasing In The Sight Of Our Lord Jesus Christ 

Who Is The Judge Of The Living And The Dead! 

Take The Inward Look ...

How Are You Standing!?! 

What Are You Doing!?! 

What Is It That You Are Doing That You Should Not!?! 

What Is It That You Are Neglecting That You Should Not!?!

 

What Wayward Thought Is Motivating Your Actions!?! 

Are You Bearing A Heavy Load Of Sin 

Because 

You Believe Your Sin Is Unforgivable!?! 

Dare To Remember This: 

Almighty God ... By Name And By Nature 

Is 

Able! 

Almighty God's Grace 

Is 

Greater Than Our Sin! 

Whatever Almighty God Asks You To Do

Almighty God Equips You To Accomplish! 

Brethren, Beloved,

With Prayer To Almighty God

I Sincerely Beseech Us All

Don't Fight Jesus Christ The Lord Aka The Truth: 

Fight Satan, Self, And Sin! 

Please Obey The Eternal, Living, Holy, Word

Trust The Sovereign Will Of The All-Knowing God

And 

Enduringly Walk In The Wise Way That 

The Lord Jesus Has Shown 

And 

Is Lovingly Showing You! 

Bend To The Living God's Will: 

Don't Burn For Walking In Sinful Ways! 

Think About It

And

Dare To Be Saved:

Truth Is A Sword

An Impregnable Shield

An Always-Warm Blanket

A Very Comfortable Bed

A Sea-Worthy Ship

A Calm Sea

A Sure Anchor 

And 

A Safe Harbor! 

Truth Is Jesus Christ The Lord

Who Is Food Indeed 

And 

Drink Indeed! 

We Are Immeasurably Blessed 

So Let Us Be Enduringly Bold 

And 

Stand Up Fearlessly For Jesus Christ Our King

And 

Against That Liar, Satan Bold And Damned! 

Please Let Jesus Christ ... By The Holy Spirit Of Truth

Help You To Fix What Is Wrong In Your Life

Because

Nothing Is Impossible For Him!

Jesus Christ Saves The Willing-To-Be Saved! 

Consider Your Ways

And

Be Wise!

Consider Your Ways AND Your Days!

When We Were Children

The Elders Spoke Often About Malice Before Thought

About Being So Bent On Having One's Own Way That 

A Person Just Acted

Right Thinking Be Damned! 

Today

A Favored Expression 

Is 

Playing Dead 

To See What Kind Of Casket You're Going To Receive! 

Beloved, 

In The Old Testament Times

Swift Justice ... As A Sharp Curb On Lawlessness

Was Meted Out For Ought Aka Anything That 

Brought Almighty God's Name Into Disrepute! 

Today We See The Multitudes Using The Name Of The Lord 

Like It Is A Cheap Cloak Aka Cover For Bold Sin! 

Consider Your Ways ... 

Not One Of Us Has Control Over The Days Of 

Our Years As Allotted By God! 

Not One Of Us Is Guaranteed To Live Five Minutes From Now 

So The Question Must Be Asked: 

"Are You So Invested In Some Cherished Sin That 

You Are Willing To Have Your Probation Closed 

And Your Judgment Concluded 

And Your Record Marked 

UNHOLY: Still  And  FILTHY: Still 

Because In Satisfying The Raging Lust Of Your Flesh 

'You Have More Head Than Brain!?!'" 

Is Satisfying Your Flesh Worth More To You Than 

Having Your Soul Cleansed!?! 

Willful Sin 

Is 

Deadly 

So "Act In Haste And Repent At Leisure!" 

Should Daily Warn You To 

"Look Before You Leap!" 

And 

"Think Before You Sink And Stink!" 

We Need The Lord To Breathe And Belong 

But

He Does Not Need Us To Reign And Rule! 

Think!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Misalignment From The Majority!

Committed Christians Are Pilgrims In A Strange Land! 

We Attract Attention 

Because 

Our Walking, Talking, Eating

Our Doing And Being Habits

Are An Affront To The Natural Citizens Of 

The Land Through Which We Are Passing! 

Beloved,

This Is As It Should Be! 

We Should Be Sticking Out Like Sore Thumbs 

Because 

Our Characters Misalign From That Of The Majority! 

Let's Truly Consider For A Moment

How Different Our Lord Was From Those Around Him!

His Name Caused A Stir! 

His Very Presence Caused A Stir Wherever He Went! 

He Attracted Some 

And 

Repulsed Others Of Those Whom Met Him! 

Those Who Saw Their Need For What He Shared Were Drawn To Him! 

Those Who Saw Him As A Meddler In Other People's Matters 

And

A Muddier Of The Waters Of Tradition 

And

An Affront To The Status Quo 

Were Repulsed By Him! 

Those Who Saw Immanuel

"Almighty God With Us" 

Were Lovingly, Gratefully, Graciously, Attracted To Him! 

Those Self-Deceived Ones

Who Saw Themselves As Gods Among Men 

Were Repulsed By The Drawing Fragrance From 

The Heart Of God Wafting Off Him! 

Brethren, Beloved,

Do Not Fool Yourself

Or Permit Yourselves To Be Fooled By Others!

By Almighty God's Great Grace

You Are The Salt Of The Earth!

You Are The Light Of The Earth

And

Living, Holy, Light Shakes Foundations!

Are You Living For The Lord!?! 

Is The World Seeing Jesus Christ The Lord In You!?! 

Will The Lord Of Earth And Glory Call You His Own!?! 

Are You An Enduring, True 

And 

Faithful Witness Of God's Love Towards Man!?! 

Prayerfully Think About It Now

While It Is Still Day

While It Is Possible For Man 

To Work Out His Own Salvation

With Fervent Prayer And Trembling! 

Peace! 

HAPPY SABBATH + Obedience Is An Absolute!

Disobedience Always Equals Dishonor

Disaster

And 

Death 

So Don't Fool Yourself By Saying That "It" Was Only 

A Little Thing! 

Life Is An Absolute: 

You're Either Living Or You're Dead! 

Faith Is An Absolute: 

You Either Have Complete Faith ... Trust

Or You Are Indulging Total Doubt! 

Love Is An Absolute: 

You're Either Loving Or You're Hating! 

The Lights Are Either On Or Off: 

Light And Darkness Do Not Co-Exist

And

Lest We Forget To Remember

Obedience Is An Absolute: 

You, Me, We Cannot Do The Lord's Will 

And

Walk In Our Own Way 

And

That Is Why Our Lord Plainly Says: 

"If You Love Me

Keep My Commandments!" 

He Also Says To All The King Saul's Of This Earth: 

"To Obey Is Better Than To Sacrifice!" 

Because

DISobedience Always Results In A Debit

A Sacrifice

A Charge Against Us

Body, Mind, And Spirit! 

Worse Still, Disobedience 

Is 

An Aphrodisiac Which Sharpens The Taste Buds 

For Some "Tasty" Little Disobedience Treat

And 

A Little Bigger Plate Of Disobedience

And Then 

All-Day, Every Day, Bold Partaking Of

The All-You-Can-Eat Buffet Of Disobedience! 

Be Ye Warned ...

Repentance Brings Ready Forgiveness 

But

The Consequences For Disobedience Remain! 

Beloved, 

By Almighty God's Great And Glorious Grace

Please Choose To Nip

Neuter

Maroon

And 

Kill Disobedience With The Two-Edged Sword 

Aka "Thus Saith The Lord!" 

Aka "It Is Written!" 

It Worked For Our Lord Jesus Christ 

So Let It Work For You Now, Today! 

Peace! 

Faith Doesn't Depend On Feeling

Trials Come! 

Is Your Faith In Jesus Christ The Lord Fixed Or Fluid!?! 

Is Your Hope In The Lord Like Solid Rock Or Like Quick Sand!?! 

Is Your Love For The Lord Just For The Loaves And Fishes 

Aka The Gifts And Good Times 

Or Is It For The Saving Truth

The Love That Loved You First

The Love That Will Not Let You Go To Hell In A Hand-Basket 

Without First Giving You A Way To Escape Your Self

Your Sin

Your Shame

Your Sorrow 

And

The Satan Aka The Adversary Always On The Attack!?! 

Beloved, 

Are You Able To Say ... Like Job

"Though The Lord Slay Me, Yet Will I Trust Him!?!" 

And 

With Shadrach, Meshach And Abednego 

While Facing Death In Babylon's Fiery Furnace 

"Whether Our God Saves Us Or Not

We Will Trust Him And Not Worship Falsely!?!" 

Many Of Us Who Are Christians 

Erroneously Believe That Saying 

"Jesus, Jesus!" 

Is 

The Key To The Existence Called

"Fair To Fine No Showers Expected!"  

This Does Not Biblically Compute! 

A Comfortable Existence Never Equals Soul Salvation! 

Ask The Citizens Of Sodom And Gomorrah 

If You Can Find Them! 

Let Us Wise Up 

And

Get Up 

And 

Stand Firm In The Faith That Cannot Fail 

And

Confidently 

And 

Enduringly Say Boldly: 

"The Devil Is The Liar: 

By Almighty God's Great Grace

I Will Walk Faithfully With Jesus Christ My Lord!" 

Say It! 

Believe It! 

Live It! 

Your Eternal Peace Depends On It!

Almighty God Winked ... When We Were Ignorant!

Is Your Christianity Just A Cloak 

Or Is It Functional ... Functioning

And

You Are A Functionary

A Doer Of The Will Of God

And

Not Just A Indifferent Hearer Of The Word!?! 

How Far Are You Willing To Go To Get Your Own Way!?! 

Are You Willing To Sin To Have That 

Self-Deceived Sense Of Personal Satisfaction 

No. Matter. What!?! 

Beloved, 

Be Very, Very, Careful! 

Tread Softly In The Presence Of Almighty God! 

As Jesus Christ's Followers 

And 

Personally Appointed 

And 

Commissioned And Equipped Ambassadors 

Who Are Required To Live To The Higher Standard 

And

Speak The Truth In Righteousness

And

Walk Blameless Before Our Lord And King

- The Judge Of All Flesh - 

We Cannot Speak Of Salvation From 

And 

Victory Over Sin 

And Then

Live Lavishly For Your Known Sinful Self

And

Willingly, Boldly, Brazenly Commit Known Sin! 

When We Knew Not The Lord Of Life

The King Of Glory

He Winked At Our Ignorance! 

We Were Given A Free Pass 

Because 

We Didn't Know Better! 

But ... 

Because We Have Been Made Aware Of The Truth

Aware Of What Is Good And Right 

Because

We Have Either Opened The Good Book For Ourselves 

And

Have Seen Or Been Shown The Truth 

Or Have Been Made Aware Through Our Ears 

By A Talk From Parent, Teacher, Pastor

Priest, Friend Or Well-Wisher

We Are Now Responsible For Our Behavior 

And

Guilty Before Almighty God 

When We Deliberately Sin 

By Walking Contrary To The Light Received

The Truth Obvious! 

Brethren, Beloved

Jesus Christ Personally Died 

For The Specific Sins That 

You Personally Committed 

In Your Very Own Flesh! 

Please, I Beseech Us All

Don't Scorn The Unspeakable Gift 

By Indulging In Planned Wickedness: 

You Will Personally Pay For Your Own Sins If You Do! 

Dare To And Do Good!

 

Do Not Harden Your Heart

And

Become A Reprobate! 

 

FRIENDS: Every Skin Teet' Ain't A Laugh!

When We Fully And FinallyCome To The Realization That 

Our Creator, Savior, And High Priest 

Is Also

Our Forever Faithful Friend

We Should Then Look Seriously At What We Call 

Our Personal Friendships 

To See How They Match Up To The Exemplar Aka Example! 

Is Our Friendship A Circle!?! 

Is It Giving!?! 

Is It Taking!?! 

Is It Going Sideways!?! 

Or Has It Already Acquired The Wings Of The Wind 

And 

Is No Longer Mutually Beneficial!?! 

Beloved, 

To Have A Friend We Must Make Ourselves Friendly 

And

Available For Friendship! 

General Moses 

And 

Father Abraham 

Were The Friends Of Our Almighty God: 

God Himself Said So! 

Jesus Christ, Our King Blessed Forever

Called His Disciples His Friends! 

Soon-To-Be-King David 

And 

Prince Jonathan, King Saul's Son  ... And Heir

Were, By Covenant, Forever Friends! 

Friendship 

Is 

Built On Love, Trust, Mutual Consideration

The Desire To Bless

The Willingness To Care

And

To Complete ... Not Compete

And

The Desire To Know 

And 

To Be Known

And

To Give 

And 

Not Just Take, Use, Abuse, And Deliberately Confuse! 

Oooh, Light-Bulb Moment ... 

Jesus Christ Had Judas Iscariot  ... The Traitor

The "Friend" Who Only Wanted Benefits

Close At His Right Hand! 

If The Lord Of Life Was Betrayed 

By His Bosom Friend Who Ate His Food

So Will We

Because

WeAre Following In Our Lord's Footsteps! 

Think, Dear Ones

And 

Ever Remember That 

A Cold Heart Cannot Form A Warm Friendship 

And

Let Your Bible, The Preserved And EternalWord Of God

Be Your Pattern 

And 

Your Guide! 

Every Skin Teet' Ain't A Laugh 

Aka Not Everybody That Shows You Their Teeth 

Is 

Your Friend: 

Pet Dogs Show Their Teeth 

And 

Bite The Loving Hands That Feed Them! 

Choose To Be Wise! 

Peace!
