Are Your Challenges Ham-Fistedly Handling You!?!

Are You Being Personally Challenged 

Emotionally

Financially

Physically

Or Spiritually!?! 

Are You Handling The Challenge 

Or Is The Challenge Ham-Fistedly Handling You!?! 

Are You Being The Victor By The Grace Of God 

Or Are You Being A Victim 

Because 

You Are Forgetting Whose Child You Are 

And

Who You Are To And In Your Father!?! 

Beloved, 

If You Are Desirous Of A Pain-Free

Care-Free Existence As A Committed Child Of God

No Offense

But 

You Are Reading The Good Book Upside Down 

And 

Backward! 

Don't Feel Too Bad, Though

We've All Been There 

And 

Have Most Assuredly Done That! 

Let Us All Get Up

Dust Ourselves Off

Turn The Good Book Right Side Up 

And 

Start Reading It, Left To Right

Through The Eyes Of Faith Which Work By 

And 

Through Our Love For Our Lord Christ! 

Consider This ...

We Are Striving For Perfection 

On The Way To The Pearly Gates 

On Mount Zion 

And

Since It Is Impossible To Climb A Smooth Mountain

Let Us Let The Lord Lead

The Holy Spirit Comfort ... And Correct Us

The Holy Angels Protect 

And 

Influence Us To The Good And The Right 

And Then

Confidently Choose To Ever Remember That 

Our Father Is In Heaven 

And

Our Dear Savior Feels What We Feel 

And

Is Well Able To Comfort Us And Help Us! 

Our Victory Is In Jesus Christ The Lord! 

Please Give Your Burden To The Lord:

 Pray! 

Be Strong In The Lord: 

Pray! 

Move By Faith: 

Pray! 

Trust Saving Truth: 

Pray

And

Unerringly Head For The Heavenly Home 

Praying ... Without Ceasing ... As You Go! 

Jesus Christ Overcame

So That We May Overcome:

He, Alone, Saves! 

Peace!

FAITH: You Have The Power!

Faith 

Is 

The Gift That Can Only Come From The Lord Of Life

Jesus Christ The King Of Glory 

But

The Power To Use The Gift Of Faith 

Is 

In Our Hands ... Alone! 

Beloved, 

Think About This Long And Hard! 

We, As Committed Christians, Desire To Overcome Sin: 

Faith 

Is 

The Victory That Overcomes The Sinful World! 

With This In View

There Is Only One Way Forward: 

Exercise

         Work

               Use Your Personal Gift Of Faith 

In Every And All Aspects Of Your Life! 

We Can't See Faith 

But

We See What Faith Can Accomplish! 

We Can See What Sin Does In The Life Of 

One Bereft Of Faith 

And

We Can See The Sinner Being Set Free By Faith! 

Our Master, Savior, Redeemer

Lord, God, And Forever Friend

Gives To Each Of Us A Measure Of His Faith Every Day 

To Be Used For That Day Alone: 

Use It Or Lose It! 

While We Cannot Carry Forward Or Borrow Faith

We Are Well Able To Build Upon Our Faith: 

Experience Builds Confidence 

Exercise Builds Muscle

And 

Muscles Speak Of Strength! 

Let Us, Therefore, Choose To Use Our Faith 

To Strengthen Our Confidence In Christ

To Strengthen Our Confidence In Christ! 

Be Strong In The Lord! 

Peace!

The Spirit Of Unforgiveness!?!

Forgiveness 

Is 

A Healing Balm 

Given To Us Through Jesus Christ Our Lord

The Holy Son Of God 

And 

The Blessed-Forever Son Of Man! 

Upon Our Personal Request

The Lord Of Life Personally Forgives Us Of Our Sin 

But

We Must Never Forget Aka Always Remember That 

The Lord God Almighty Forgives Us 

Only As We Forgive Others Who Have Wronged Us! 

Beloved, 

The Spirit Of Unforgiveness 

Is 

Demonic In Its Mendacity Aka Untruthfulness 

And 

Inevitably Leads To All Manner Of 

Unpleasant Health Outcomes! 

Forgiveness 

Is 

Help Which Heals 

And

Inner Peace 

Is 

A Balm Which Yields Rest! 

Rich Or Poor

Young Or Old

Hapless Or Helpless

An Unforgiving Spirit Yields For Its Bearer 

A Heart That Does Not Hold Hope 

And

If Left Unrepented

Renders That Person No Better Than The Animal 

For Whom Jesus Christ Did Not Suffer And Die! 

The Word Of The Lord

Does Not Lie! 

Our Father Is In Heaven Seeing All Things: 

He Knows The Thoughts 

And 

The Intents Of Our Hearts! 

Please, I Beseech Us All 

Let Us Look At The Lord's Prayer With New Eyes Today 

And 

Every Day 

And

Consider The Word Aka The Truth That Saves

To Be Good For All That Ails Us

Body, Mind, And Spirit! 

The Lord Is Our Shepherd 

And 

He Leads Us Beside Still Waters 

And

He Restores Our Souls! 

Let Us, Therefore, Totally Rest In Him 

And 

Be Completely Refreshed!

Peace!

YEAST AND SIN: Actions And Reactions Have Consequences!

 

A Lil' Bit O' Yeast Will Raise A Pound Of Flour 

But 

A Lil' Bit O' Sin Ain't No Biggie! 

Where Is The Logic In This Faulty Thinking!?! 

If Little Is Much When Almighty God Is In It

Does It Not Stand To Reason That 

A Little Sinning Is A Whole Lot Of Sinning 

Because 

Satan's Grubby Fingers Are All Up In It!?! 

Beloved, 

Strait And Narrow Way Walkers Are An Affront 

To Stray-Away And Keep Hope At Bay Talkers! 

Are You A Walker Or A Talker!?! 

Are You Good Yeast Pointing Others To The Fold Of Faith 

Or 

Are You Raising Cain 

And 

Encouraging Others To Do As They Please 

Because

Well, Why Not!?! 

Peace-Keepers Don't Make War 

And 

Those Who Make War Against Truth 

Can Never Be At Peace Without Truth! 

As Committed Christians

We Must Tidy Our Thinking With The Word Of God 

In Order To Keep Our Thoughts Pure! 

We Must Taste Our Words 

To Ensure That They Are Properly Seasoned With Salt 

Before We Spit Them Out! 

Our Thoughts Impact Our Words 

And

Influence All Of Our Actions 

And

The Lives And Well-Being Of Those Around Us 

So Please Do Not Think That 

You Can "Do You" And You're Done! 

Actions Cause Reactions 

And

Both Have Consequences! 

Think About It! 

Pray For Peace 

And 

Let The Holy Spirit Raise You 

And 

Raise You Up To Glory!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Free-Will And Freedom Of Choice Are Treasures!

Freedom To Exercise Faith By Free-Will 

Is 

To Be Treasured! 

We, All, Need To Realize That 

Our Creator Gave Us Total Control Of 

Our Own Free-Will That 

No One May Usurp, Hijack Or Take Away! 

Along With Our Free-Will 

Is 

Accountability For Our Choices! 

Along With Accountability 

Is 

The Certain Knowledge That 

There Is Only One Way 

To Have Someone Else Take Responsibility 

And

Accept Punishment For Our Personal Sin! 

We Must, By Free-Will, Freely Choose 

To Give Our Free-Will Back To The Lord 

Through Confession Of And Repentance For Sin 

And

Willingly Choosing Our Creator, Jesus Christ The Lord

As Our Everlasting Portion

And

We Must Daily Choose 

To Walk In Willing

          Faith-First

                    Enduring 

                              Obedience Before Him! 

Sinners Are Born! 

Repentance Comes From Confessing Sinners! 

Confessing 

And 

Repenting Sinners Are Free-Will-Exercising Saints 

Who, By Free Choice, Have And Are Tasting 

And 

Seeing That The Lord Is Good 

And

Are Deliberately Turned From Sin Unto Salvation! 

Brethren, Beloved

Jesus Christ Won't Ever Force You To Be A Saint 

And

Satan Can't Ever Force You To Be A Sinner! 

Remember, Remember

Don't Ever Forget ...

Working Faith

Free-Will

Freedom To Choose

And

Love For The Lord 

Lovingly Abide Together ... By Our Personal Choice! 

Free-Will Without Freedom To Choose 

Is 

A Lie: 

The Lord Of Life Can't Lie 

So Dare And Exercise Faith In His Living Word Today! 

Peace! 

HAPPY SABBATH + Don't Allow Satan To Lick Your Face!

 

When Someone Tells You That They Hate You

Believe Them! 

When Someone Tells You That 

They Hate Themselves And Their Life

Believe Them! 

When Someone Tells You That 

You Don't Know How Wicked They Can Be

Believe Them! 

When Someone Tells You That 

When You See Them Misbehaving It Is Who They Really Are 

And 

They Don't Intend To Change

Believe Them 

Because 

They Have Set Themselves Up In The Place Of 

The Infallible, Unchanging, God Of 

Present Grace And Glory To Come 

And As Such

They Are No Different From Satan, Himself 

But 

Infinitely Less Powerful! 

Beloved, 

There Are Many Walking Among Us Who Are Willing 

To Shred You Like A Piranha 

Or Crush The Life Out Of You 

And 

Swallow You Whole Just Like A Boa Constrictor 

If 

You Are Unwise! 

There Are Many Among Us 

Who Lovingly Let Satan Lick Their Faces

In The Foolish Belief That 

Unholy Power 

Is 

Glorious Power! 

Brethren, Beloved 

We Cannot Take Carnal Weapons

To Fight In A Spiritual Battle

So I Beseech Us All

To Be As Wise As The Serpent 

But

Dare To And Choose To Live 

Harmless As The Dove Of Peace 

In The Sight Of The Eternal God

Who Is The Prince Of Peace

And

Our Perfect Peace And Rest! 

There Will Be No Fools In Heaven 

And 

There Will Be No Saints In Hell

So Please Choose To Keep Your Hands Clean 

And 

Fight Satan's Agents By The 

"Thus Saith The Lord!" 

Which Ever Worked For Our Dear Savior 

And 

Will Surely Work For His Faithful, Obedient, People! 

Choose To Ever Trust In Jesus Christ The Lord: 

Fervently Pray 

And 

Enduringly Plod On!

The Lord Jesus Christ

Declares That He Loves You

And

Has Clearly Shown Personally

His Sacrificial Love For You:

Believe Him With All Your Heart!

COOPERATE WITH CHRIST: Exchange Ashes To Get BeautiFULL

The Lord Never, Ever, Asks Us 

To Do Anything That Cannot Be Done 

Or For Which He Has Not Equipped Us To Accomplish 

Via Our Belief, Faith, And Trust In The Living Word That 

Testifies Of Him 

And 

Speaks Life To Us! 

Beloved, 

Even Though Holy Writ Says That 

"I Can Do All Things Through Christ 

Who Strengthens Me!" 

It Means That We Can Do All That 

Is 

Good And True ... In The Way Of Righteousness! 

The Lord Is Holy 

So He Cannot Strengthen Us 

To Do Evil ... To Sin! 

We Are Called Out Of Sin 

And 

Unto Salvation 

And 

No One Who Free-Will Chooses 

To Do Evil For Self-Gratification 

And

Makes Themselves A Reprobate 

Aka Condemned, Unredeemable By Habit Aka Practice 

Aka By Their Way Of Life 

Is 

Going To Be Revived And Reformed 

Aka Renovated From The Inside Out 

And 

Restored, Elevated, To The Father's House 

With All Of Its Attendant Rights And Privileges! 

Is Your Heart Right With Almighty God!?! 

Are You Doing To Others What You Want Done To You!?! 

Are You Kind, Loving, Good

Faithful, Temperate, And True 

Or

Are You On Satan's Bungee Cord Of Dung Doings

Terrible Talk 

And 

Fraught Feelings 

Which Is Sure To Break While You Think That 

You Are Really Flying Wild And Free!?! 

Examine Yourself Today! 

It Will Not Be Pretty 

So Just Remember That 

Our Lord Jesus Gives Us Beauty

Makes Us Beautiful 

When We Give Him Our Ashes! 

Please Cooperate With Christ: 

Peace With Almighty God Is Precious!

 

No Stuff Can Enter The City Of Almighty God!

It is With A Sincere Heart That 

I Pray That Each One Of Us 

Comes To Truly Realize How Special

- How Unique - 

We Are To The Living God! 

There Is No One Else On This Earth

 Who Is As You Are! 

The Gifts That The Lord Has For You, Personally

He Will Not Give To Another Soul 

Even If You Were To Deny Him 

And 

Reject His Gifts Of Love! 

If You Choose To Refuse To Accept 

Jesus Christ's Gift To You Of His Free Salvation 

And 

By So Doing Never Reach The Eternal City

Your Absence Will Be Keenly Felt 

Because 

No One Else Can Take Your Place! 

Lot's Wife ... Against Warning ... And Common-Sense

Looked Back Both In Her Heart And Physically

And 

Lost The Things She Lusted For 

And 

Her Precious Life And Promised Future: 

Jesus Christ Will Be Her Judge

And Not 

Her Welcoming King

Because 

Her Stuff Was Worth More To Her Than Her Life! 

Beloved, 

Always Remember That

You Need A Life To Live To Be Able To Get Stuff 

But

Having A Boatload Of Stuff 

Will Never Get You Eternal Life! 

Jesus Christ Desires Your Personal Presence 

In His Holy House 

And 

He Sacrificed Himself To Make That Possible! 

Please Do Not Neglect So Great A Salvation: 

There Is No Escaping The Day Of Judgment! 

Please Choose Eternal Life 

And 

Live Now As One Greatly Loved 

And 

Abundantly Blessed By Our Almighty God! 

Choose To Remember That Your Father 

Is 

The King Of Love 

And 

Never, Ever, Forget That

You ... Individually ... Are In His Heart 

And 

Your Name Is Permanently

Perfectly Engraved 

In Our Dear Savior's Hand! 

Please Pursue Peace With The Lord Most High!

Witchcraft And Idolatry Is For Fools!

Never Confuse Witchcraft, Magic, Good Luck

And 

Idolatry 

With The Blessings Of The Eternal God 

Because 

All Of These Are Counterfeits Of The Lord's Goodness 

And

Are Perpetrated By Satan, King Fraud! 

Many Of Us Will Do Well To Remember That 

A Loving "No!" From The All-Knowing

All-Seeing, Ever-Present God 

Cannot Be Equal With A Poisonous 

And 

Known Hate-Filled "Yes!" 

From Our Adversary, Murdering Satan, The Damned! 

Beloved, 

What Your Lust Thinks That You Want 

Is 

A Far Cry From What Your Lord Knows That 

You Desperately Need 

So Please Choose To Let The Lord's Love 

Lead You To Eternal Life 

Instead Of Letting The Devil's Lying Lust 

Squeeze You And Send You To A Christless Grave! 

Satan Is The Damned Leader Of The Cursed Clan 

"Can't Have Eternal Blessings 

Because Of Willful Disobedience!" 

You, Me, We Committed Christians 

Are From The Blessed Clan 

"Will Receive Eternal Blessings 

Because Of Loving, Willing, Obedience!" 

These Two Clans Are Not Interchangeable 

So Dare To Learn And Acknowledge The Difference! 

Truth 

Is 

Both Sword And Shield! 

Obedience Aka The Purest Form Of Worship

Is 

An Exceedingly Comfortable Bed

And

Walking In The Light Of Life 

Leads To Heavenly Delights! 

Remember, Remember

Don't Ever Forget ...

Unwavering Trust In The Lord Christ 

Ensures That We Will Win In The Against-Sin Fight!

Please Don't Fool Yourself 

Or Deceive Others

And 

Dare To And Wisely Honor

Worship, Praise, Glorify

And

Willingly Trust And Obey The Living God! 

Peace!

Godly Understanding Is A Free Gift From Almighty God!

Are The Eyes Of Your Understanding Sighted Or Blinded!?! 

What Do You Want To Understand!?! 

What Do You Want To See!?! 

What Are You Choosing To Cast A Blind Eye Toward!?! 

Why Would Any Christian Choose Willful Ignorance 

Over Illuminated Understanding!?! 

Beloved, 

We Live In A World Where Having An Understanding Heart

And

Being Able To See Another's Point Of View 

Without Anger And Hatred 

And

Choosing To Stand Firm In The Faith Of Jesus Christ 

Makes One A Pariah ... An Outcast

And 

An Enemy To The Multitude 

But

It Is No Reason To Deny Your Faith ... The Most Holy Faith

Nor Ignore 

And 

Denigrate Your Father In Heaven! 

With The Wisdom Of The Living God 

Comes Understanding To Use The Knowledge That 

The Lord Has Generously Placed At Our Disposal 

To Bless Ourselves 

And 

Most Definitely Others! 

Think About It ... 

Understanding To Do Evil Is Useless

But

Understanding To Do Good And Right 

Aka The Things Of Jesus Christ The Lord 

Is 

Perfectly Priceless! 

Godly Understanding 

Is 

A Good And Perfect Free Gift From Our Almighty God 

So Don't Bastardize It By Shutting Out The Light Of Life 

To Willfully Do Evil! 

Please Understand That 

Once You Are Made Aware Of Truth 

And

You Choose To Ignore Truth 

In Order To Indulge Error

You Are Guilty Of Sin! 

Godly Understanding Is Infinitely Free 

But 

Willful Ignorance 

Is 

Grossly Expensive! 

I Encourage Us All

To Be Wise Unto Your Own Soul's Free Salvation! 

Peace!

Stop Eating Swine's Food!

Many Of Us Live With The Hope For Glory 

But Not 

The Blessed Hope That 

Leads To The Kind Of Glory That 

Transports Us To Everlasting Life! 

Where, Why

When Did We Go Astraying After The Scraps That 

Swine Gladly Eat Instead Of Eating From 

The Kind And Faithful King's Table Of Good And Plenty!?! 

Was It On The Day You Were Bypassed 

For What You Thought Was Your Just Due 

Or 

Perhaps It Was The Day That 

Your Pride Overcame Your Common-Sense 

And 

You Started Walking On Satan's Enchanted Ground Of 

Smoke And Mirrors!?! 

Beloved, 

Only Those Who Walk In The Will Of God 

Are The Children Of God

And

The Blessed And Beloved Brethren Of Our Lord Christ! 

We Will Not Be Bountifully Blessed 

And 

Eternally Saved

If

We Just Have And Use The Family's Name 

But

Do Not Possess Jesus Christ's Pure And Holy Character!

 

Brethren, Beloved

Since We Are Using The Name Above All Names

Let Us Diligently Seek 

To Assimilate The Character That Creates Us Anew! 

Let Us Not Be Among Those Accused Of False Pretenses 

And 

Charged With Using Bogus Identity Papers! 

Let Us Choose To Walk The Talk

Live The Life

Carry The Cross

And 

Do The Duty 

So As Not To Suffer Eternal Loss! 

Think About It ...

Carnal Things Are Temporal

But 

Christ's Free Salvation 

Is 

Eternal! 

Do Your Due Diligence 

And 

Let The Name Of Christ 

Become Your Nature In Christ! 

Peace With The Living God Is Free

So Dare To Diligently Pray Without Ceasing! 

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Time And Chance!

Time Is A Precious Commodity 

And

A Non-Renewable Resource! 

It Flows In One Direction 

And 

Is Like A Water Course! 

Time, Just Like Water, Finds Its Own Level: 

The Lay Of The Land Determines The Waters' Flow 

And

The Thoughts Of Our Minds Determine, Good Or Bad

How We Spend The Limited Funds 

On Our Debit Card Called Time! 

Chance Aka Opportunity

Is 

A Thing, Once Missed, Which Can Never Be Recaptured! 

Chance Is Like A Beautiful Sunset

Or A Snowflake

Neither Of Which Is Set To Be Repeated! 

Beautiful Sunsets Will Be Seen Again 

And 

Snow-Flakes Will Fall Again

But 

They Will Never Be Those Experienced 

On The Day Called Yesterday! 

Beloved, 

Our Lord Has Given To Each Of Us 

A Winding-Down Clock With Time Marked Off 

In Increments Called Chance ... Opportunity

To Become As He Is

By Doing Good

Living With Love

Serving Others With Caring

And 

Walking Wisely According To The Will Of God 

So That When The Clock Silently Alarms 

And

Forever Stops

That The Book Of The Deeds Of Your Lived Life 

Will Bear The Eternal Mark: 

"Sealed And Saved! 

Well Done!" 

Please Don't Waste Time 

And 

Lose Your Chances To Be Blessed 

By Blessing Someone 

In Jesus Christ's Dear Name Today 

And

Every Day! 

Peace! 

HAPPY SABBATH + CHOICE: Consent + Cooperation

Consent And Cooperation 

Are Words Both Decidedly Delicious 

And 

Damnably Distasteful 

At One And The Same Time! 

If You Are A Committed Christian

Jesus Christ Will Save, Use, And Seal You 

Because 

Of Your Willing, Informed

And 

Free-Will Consent 

And 

Faith-First Cooperation! 

If You Are A Nominal 

Aka NATO Aka No Action Talk Only

Bread 'N Fish Christian

Satan Aka The Accuser Of The Brethren 

And

The Adversary Of Your Soul

Will Gladly Use, Abuse, And Accuse You 

With Your Willing Consent 

And 

Full Cooperation

With The Sworn Intention Of Destroying Your Life! 

If You Follow Satan

You Will Be Condemned, Damned 

And 

Eternally Destroyed By The Judge Of All Flesh

The Lord Christ! 

When You Follow The Lord Christ

You Will Be Temporarily Targeted

Tested, Tried, Tempted

Terrorized And Tortured 

By The Already Condemned, Damned

And 

Waiting To Be Finally, Eternally, Destroyed, Satan 

Who Presently Thrives On Deception, Lies 

And 

Murder! 

Choice 

Is

Consent And Cooperation! 

In The Great Day Of Small Things

Will Your Present Choice See You Rising Up To Glory 

Or 

Ruined And Routed To Hell!?! 

Please Search Your Own Soul 

And 

Seek To Save Yourself: 

Choose The Love 

And 

The Life Of The Lord Jesus Christ 

Who Always Protects 

And 

Provides The Choicest Blessings 

For His Consenting, Cooperating 

And 

Enduringly Trusting And Faithful People! 

Peace!
