Walk The Talk The Walk!

 

The Perfect Love That Our Dear Savior Has For Us 

Will Never Allow Him To Overlook Our Sin 

And 

Permit Us To Indulge In Selfishness And Unkindness! 

Our Growing Love For Our Dear Savior 

Will Never Permit Us To Willingly Practice Sin 

And 

Be Participants In Acts Which Are Decidedly Unholy 

And 

A Straight Departure From His Divine Character Of Grace

Mercy, Goodness, Truth, Gentleness, Kindness

And 

Righteousness! 

Beloved, 

"Christian" Talk Is Cheap! 

Wearing A Christian's Garb 

Is 

Cheap And Convenient! 

"Speaking" The Christian's Language 

By Repeating Buzz-Words 

Does Not Give One Agility 

Or Facility To Treat To The Unexpected 

Or The Unfamiliar 

Or The Curve-Ball Of Catastrophe! 

We Have To Walk The Talk The Walk!

The Lord's Commitment To Our Growth Through Grace 

And 

Our Commitment To Him Through Willing Obedience 

And

The Bold, Even Aggressive, Exercise Of 

Our Daily Gift Of His Faith 

Requires Us To Walk In Accord With His Will 

And 

His Ways 

And

Under His Billowing Banner Of 

Living, Unchanging, Truth! 

Self-Deception Leads To Self-Destruction 

But 

Loving The Living Truth Leads To The Light That 

Is 

The Life Of Every Man! 

We Can't Be Dirty In The Dark! 

Jesus Christ 

Is 

The Lover Of Your Soul 

And

It Is By Him, Alone, That You Are Remade 

To Stand Clean Before The Great White Throne! 

Hold On To Your Blessings: 

Live In ... Live For ... Live Through ... The Truth! 

Peace!

GRACE AND MERCY: Praying With Faith Is Power!

Grace And Mercy: Faith And Prayer! 

Truth Is Beauty

So Let God's People Declare That 

Walking With Wisdom Makes One Unique 

Because 

They Are Following The Master 

Who Is Found By Those 

Who Will To Have Sin From Their Souls Leached! 

The Fool Indulges Folly! 

The Lawless Acknowledges No Law! 

The Child Of God 

Walks With Humility Before The Kind King 

And

In The Day Of His Appointing

They Will In His Presence Sing

"Holy, Holy, Holy!" 

Beloved, Dear Believer

Child Of God Called Apart, 

Please Stay On The Side Of Right 

And 

You Will Never Have The Experience Of 

Going Out From The Lord's Presence 

And

Having Your Day Turn To Night-Time Dark! 

Remember That Being Almost Pregnant 

Is Not 

Ever Going To Be A Thing 

So Being Almost A Christian

Almost Persuaded To Do The Good And The Right

Almost Faithful

Almost Obedient

And 

Almost Enduring 

Speaks To One Who Does Not In The Light Of Life 

Seriously, Seriously, Delight!

Jesus Christ Went All In For Me And For You 

So Let Us Bask In His Love Always 

So That We Will Eternally Enjoy 

The Glorious Glory Days! 

To Gospel Truth Add Your Voice 

So That Jesus Christ Over You Will Ever Rejoice! 

Praying With Faith Is Power! 

Peace!

Mercy, Grace ... And Faith!

 

How Are You!?! 

If You ... A Blessed Child Of The Eternal God

Are Struggling Even As You Are Praying 

And 

Believing The Lord Jesus At His Holy Word

Can You Imagine The Tumble Of Emotions Being Experienced 

By Those Who Know Not The Lord!?! 

Beloved, 

The Children Of The Household Of Faith 

Have A Sure And Secure Anchor For Their Souls 

No Matter What They Are Feeling 

What They Are Going Through

And 

Where They Are Placed On The Plate Of Good-Eats 

For Unfeeling Predators! 

Faith In Jesus Christ

Unlocks Unseen, Unexpected, Doors! 

Faith Is The Unbreakable Rod In The Spine Of 

The Child Relying On Jesus Christ For Relief! 

Faith Is The Scissors That 

Helps The Believer Cut Ties 

With The Dominion Of Darkness! 

Faith ... Working Faith

Is 

The Pair Of Wings That Bears Us Believers Aloft 

When There Is Not A Smidgen Of Wind 

To Lift Up Even A Strand Of Hair! 

Faith ... The Gift Given Each Day For That Day's Use

Is 

The Partner With Prayer 

Which Makes All Of Our Impossibilities Possible 

Because 

We Have Received Them As Unfailing Blessings 

From Our Maker, God, And Kind King! 

Almighty God's Gifts 

Grow Grandly Because Of Grace Graciously Given To Us: 

Use 'em Or Lose 'em! 

Refuse Grace 

And 

Be Refused Mercy! 

Willingly Work Faith And Prayer 

And 

Be Wonderfully Wise And Wealthy! 

Peace!

Almighty God's Mercy

Towards

His Children

Is

Immensely Great

And

It Is Totally Free!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Wait On The Lord By His Word!

Neither Nobody 

Nor His Brother, Sister, Father, Friend

Want To Wait On Anybody For Anything 

Because 

Waiting Is For Saps, Stooges

The Unconnected

And 

The Financially Challenged! 

Okaaay! 

Beloved, 

Our Text Starts With A "But" 

Which Tells Us Clearly That 

Those Who Do Not Wait Upon The Lord

Shall Not Have Their Strength Renewed

Shall Not Acquire Eagle's Wings

Shall Not Be Able To Run 

Because 

They Will Be Weary

And 

Will Not Be Able To Walk 

Because 

They Are Fainting From Weakness! 

How Very Interesting! 

Dear Ones, 

Paying Someone To Do Your Waiting For You 

Does Not Hold Water 

In The Economy Of Almighty God! 

Waiting On The Lord Generates Patience

Enhances Endurance

And 

Solidifies Faith Which We, Each, Shall Surely Need 

If 

We Are To Enter ... By Right

The Eternal City Of The Great God 

Who Provides For His People 

Before 

The Need Is Expressed Or Experienced! 

Please, I Beseech Us All

Remember That Waiting On The Lord 

Is 

Preparation 

Which Is The Key To Every Victory 

Worth Claiming And Celebrating! 

Be Wise 

And 

Wait On The Lord Jesus Christ! 

Wait On The Lord Jesus Christ

And 

Watch For His Coming! 

Watch For The Lord's Coming

And 

Work With Him For The Salvation Of Others! 

And

Please Work With The Lord Now 

Because 

Night Is Coming When No Man

Be They Connected

Financially Stable

Or Cash-Poor 

Can Drive A Stroke To Save His Own Life

Or The Life Of Another! 

Dare, Beloved, To Wait On Your Sure Blessings: 

Wait On Jesus Christ The Lord ... Yourself! 

Peace!

Thought For The Week Ahead:

Jesus Christ

Is

Our Only Savior

And

His Gift To Us

Of

His Sure Salvation 

Is 

Free

But

Will Only Benefit Those

Who Desire To Gain

The Victory Over Sin

By Obediently Travelling

The Way Of The Cross

With

Faithful Endurance

Via

The Path Of Purity! 

Love For The Lord

Starts And Finishes With Obedience

To His Holy Word

And

Walking In Accord With His Sovereign Will!

 

HAPPY SABBATH + SHIP-WRECK OF FAITH: The Broken Moral Compass

At The Ship-Wreck Of Faith Store

One Is Able To Locate The Broken Moral Compass 

And 

The Husk Of The Unruly Human 

Who Bluntly Refused To Take Ahold Of 

The Master Of The Winds' Outstretched, Holy

And 

Strong Arm Of Unfailing Guidance! 

This State Of Affairs Should Never Be! 

Beloved, 

Don't You Dare Lie! 

You Have A Moral Compass

So Don't Think The Saving Truth To Deny! 

Is Your Moral Compass Working!?! 

Is Your Moral Compass Calibrated Correctly!?! 

Are You Using Your Own Moral Compass 

Or 

Are You Permitting Some Bre'k-Down Merchant 

To Cause You To Follow The Contrary Winds Of 

Doubt, Disbelief, Disobedience

And 

Dastardly Deeds 

Which Lead One To Destruction's Damned Doorway!?! 

Do You Think Before You Do 

Or 

Do You Feel And Fume 

And 

On Some Unfortunate Soul's Only Loaf Of Bread 

Rabidly Chew!?! 

Bread Is The Staff Of Life!

How Are You Benefitted!?! 

Who Are You Benefitting By Your Despicable Deeds 

Which The Lord Jesus Cannot Approve Or Bless!?! 

Think A Thought ...

A Good Moral Compass Guides One Safely 

To The Fore-Known Safe Harbor 

Where Eagerly Anticipated 

And 

Expected Blessings 

Await The Child Who Is Honest, Faithful, Truthful, Kind 

And

Enduringly Obedient To The Master's Ways 

And

Holy Will! 

Beware ... 

Our Greatest Enemy 

Is 

The Pampered Enemy Within

So Please Give All That Concerns You To Christ Jesus 

And

Live To Live With Him ... Forevermore! 

Self Is A Confident Sinner!

Remember, Remember

Don't Ever Forget ...

No Matter How The Gainsayers Sway

And

No Matter What The Naysayers Bray

Good Morals ... Almighty God's Gift To His People

Are Not A Burden! 

Peace!

BUYING FORGIVENESS: The Living God Isn't Into Indulgences!

Almighty God's

Gift Of Forgiveness

Is

Free

(For The Asking)

To Me And To Thee!

There Was A Time 

When It Was Real Big Business In The Roman Church 

For People To Purchase An Indulgence Aka Leniency

- Forgiveness ... If You Will -

For Committing The Sin Of Their Choosing! 

Today We Have Those Among Us 

Who Offer Up Prayers Of Repentance 

To Their Idea Of The Living God 

Before

Going Out And Embracing Iniquity 

Aka Planned Sin! 

Neither Course Of Action Helps The Individual 

Nor Pleases Our King

The Judge Of All Flesh! 

Beloved, 

The Living God Is Not A Man Aka A Liar 

And

There Is No Darkness In Him At All That 

He Would Indulge Aka Overlook, Dismiss

And

Be Participant In Our Rank, Sinful, Disrespectful

Condescending, Devilish, Behavior 

As Conceived In Satan's Black Heart 

To Work Our Destruction! 

"Thou Shalt Not ...!" 

Is 

The Yellow Card Of Caution! 

"Thou Shalt Surely Die!" 

Is 

The Red Card Of Death! 

Get Real ...

Playing Truth Or Dare With The All-Seeing

All-Knowing

Ever-Present

Eternal, Holy, God 

Who Is The Truth 

Is 

A Game For Fools 

Who Are Brain-Washed ... By Personal Choice 

Into Believing That Finite Humans 

Can "Play" The Eternal Only Wise God! 

Let's Raise Our Standards ...

Please Commit To Praying 

And 

To Reading The Word Of Saving Truth 

And

To Daily Confessing 

And 

Repenting Of All Known Sin! 

Anything Else 

Is 

A Waste Of Time And Effort 

As It Only Raises One's Personal Stock Of Fuel 

For The Fires Of Hell:

Diligently Seek Almighty God's Goodness, Grace 

And 

Presently Available Mercy! 

Deny The Liar: 

Honor The Lord Jesus Christ! 

Peace!

Sin

Is

A Reproach

To Every People!

DOWN-PAYMENT ON ETERNITY: There's Not Another Like Christ Jesus!

No Committed Christian Can Say

- With The Straight Face Of Truth - 

"I Am Living For The Here And The Now!" 

Beloved, 

If We Are Living 

With Our Every Hope Pinned On The Unending Acquisition Of 

And 

The Constant Anxiety Over Things Temporal Aka Earthly

Then We Might As Well Be Bold Enough 

To Eject Our Dear Savior From Our Lives 

And

Bluntly Invite Satan And His Demons To Set Up Shop 

And 

Take Up Residence In Our Comfy Chair

Our Warm Bed

And 

The Good Seat At The Head Of Our Dinner Table 

Because

Compromise, Rationalizing

Fault-Finding, Lying

Doubt, Treachery

Misery, Witchcraft, Mayhem

And 

Murder Most Foul

Will Become Our Constant Companions! 

Peace ... Expensively Purchased

Will Do A Powder And Blow Away! 

Rest Will Be Non-Existent! 

Beauty Will Be A Dinner-Box At A Horse Race! 

Truth Will Be A Desert ... No Oasis

And

Dear Faith

Provided For Our Daily, Personal, Use 

Will Be As A Still-Birth! 

Living For Jesus Christ 

Is 

Living By Faith In The Future Fulfillment Of 

Promises Made 

And

With The Gift Of Our Comforter

The Holy Spirit Of Truth

Given, Acknowledged, Appreciated 

And

Utilized As The Guaranteed 

And

Received 

And

Accepted Down-Payment! 

Faith Is Not Eye-Sight 

And

Living Now For Now 

Is 

Calling His Evilness, Good Brother! 

We Don't Want To Do That 

Because

There Is Not Another Savior, Brother

Father, Or Friend To The End 

Like Our Sweet Jesus! 

Peace!

Arm-Candy For Satan OR Heart-Home For Jesus Christ!?!

Why Would You Want A "Savior" 

Who "Loves" You Enough To Hurt You 

And 

Desperately Wants To See You Dead 

In Trespasses And Sins!?! 

You Know You Wouldn't! 

Beloved, 

We Should All Whole-Heartedly Desire The Savior

The Lord Jesus Christ

Who So Loves Us That He Went Ahead 

And 

Died The Accursed Death On The Cross Of Calvary

To Save Us From Sin's Damnation! 

Think About The Distinction! 

Who Else Is Saying That They Love You!?! 

To Whom Are You Committing To Eternally Love!?! 

Is This Being The Lover Of Your Soul 

Purchased From Sin, Death, The Grave, And Hell!?! 

Are You Permitting Yourself To Be Arm-Candy For The Fake

The Wannabe God

The God-Fraud

The Father Of Lies 

To Be Suckered, Sullied, Scrambled, And Scorched!?! 

Thieves Come Only To Steal

And

To Joyfully Destroy!

Are You ... Body, Mind, And Spirit

Loved, Sheltered, Protected 

And

Covered By The Innocent Blood

And

Blessedly Headed For The Happy Home 

In Highest Heaven Above!?! 

Home Is Where The Heart Is!

Do You Know How You Are Standing!?! 

Do You Even Care!?! 

Think, Think, Think ...  

Are You "Living" Life With A "Lover" 

Who Holds You Through Doubt And Disbelief

Guilt And Fear

And 

Lack Of Faith In The Holy One!?! 

Are You Loving 

The Lover With The Greatest Love Of All

Who Offers You The Righteous White Robe 

And

The Gold Over-Comer's Crown

The Gold Harp

The New Name

A Place In The Father's House

A Plot Of Land To Build Your Own Country Home

And 

Eagle's Wings ... As Lightning Transport

To Nimbly Get Around The Universe Of God!?! 

Please Choose 

To Take The Eternal God At His Living, Holy, Word 

And

Dare, Boldly Dare, To Test The Spirits 

The Suitors For Your Loving Devotion!

Hurtful Love 

Is 

Burning Hatred! 

Holy Love 

Is 

Perfect Peace! 

Jesus Christ ... The Shepherd Of Rest

Is 

Peace 

Is 

Love 

And

He Always Saves!

 

Jesus Christ ... The King Of Glory

Is 

The Captain Of Our Salvation

And

To Him ... Alone

We Should Our Hearts Release

So That From Sin, Death, The Grave

And

Burning Hell

We Shall Forever Be Relieved!

He Forgets Not His Own!

He Sits High On The Eternal Throne!

His People Do Not Walk Alone!

Soon He Will Take Us To The Heavenly Home! 

Peace! 

THE JUDGMENT SEAT OF CHRIST: No Immortal Sinners!

When The Almighty God Made The Judgment 

To Drive Man Out Of The Garden Of Eden

It Was Because Adam And Eve Had Gone Against Counsel 

And 

Common Sense 

And

Had Sinfully Eaten Of The Fruit Of The Tree Of 

The Knowledge Of Good And Evil 

Which Gave Them What They Should Never Have Known 

... And ... 

To Stop Them 

From Thereafter Eating From The Tree Of Life 

And

Becoming Immortal Sinners! 

The Lord Jesus ... By Whom We Live And Breathe

And 

Have Our Very Being

Made His Judicial Pronouncement 

And

The Father Of Lies ... Satan The Damned

Made His Deceptive Announcement That 

Man Has An Immortal Soul 

Aka The Flesh Dies 

But 

"The Soul" Lives Forever! 

Beloved, 

Beware Of The Great Deception! 

Our Creator God ... Jesus Christ The Lord

The King

Our Only Savior 

And 

Soon-Returning Redeemer

Breathed Into Adam And Eve's Nostrils

- Their Nose Holes - 

The Breath Of Life From The Living God 

And

They Each Became Living Souls! 

Remove The Breath Of Life From The Eternal God

And 

Man ... Sinner, And Saint ... Dies

      Dead

                Rotten And Forgotten! 

The Gospel Truth ... 

There Is No Little Being That 

Escapes Through Man's Nostrils 

And 

Instantly Heads To Either Heaven Or Hell 

And 

AvoidsJesus Christ's Future Judgment! 

Let No One Fool You ... 

The Lord Jesus Christ 

Is 

Bringing His Rewards With Him 

So Let's Do Ourselves A Solid 

And 

Let Hollywood's Professional Liars

And 

The Lying-For-Profit Churchmen 

Cook In Their Own Stew Of Damnable Deceit! 

Brethren, Beloved, 

According To Your Work Done In Your Flesh

So Shall Be Your Reward Aka Your Pay-Check! 

With That Made Plain Even For The Blind Man

Please Believe The Living Word Of The Holy God

The Giver And Sustainer Of Your Life!

 

Every Human Being Reaps Aka Collects 

The Valid Proof Of His Labor Aka His Efforts! 

The Living God Is Not Mocked

By Either The Rich Or The Poor

The Free Or The Slave

The Prime Minister, President

Prince, Pope, Pastor, Priest, Politician

Or

The Purveyor Of Flesh!

Peace!

Bow The Knee

 

When We Were Children 

And

For Whatever Reason 

We Had Been Caused To Suffer A Chastisement 

And

Showed Our Grand Displeasure At 

"The Injustice Of It All!" 

The Elders Had The Perfect Riposte For Us:

"Fix Your Face

Or I Will Fix It For You!"

Oh, The Horror! 

Now Can You Imagine That We ... Mere Mortals

Have The Temerity To Want To Tell Our Maker

Lord, God, King 

And

Judge 

To Fix His Face When He Has Just Cause 

To Chastise Us For Our Base Folly!?! 

Beloved, 

We Are A Hard-Headed People 

Who Dare To Tempt The Lord! 

Have You Considered What Would Happen To Us 

If 

The Lord Of Life Caused Us To Feel 

The Dread Effects Of His Hot Displeasure!?! 

There Is Nothing That Our Lord Christ Does That 

Is 

Done In Vain! 

The Lord Chastises His Children 

And

If For Some Strange Reason 

You Are Walking Wild And Unfettered

You May Want To Check Your Birth Certificate 

Because 

The Lord Chastises Those Whom He Loves

Aka His Children! 

No Chastisement 

Means You're A Bastard Child 

And

As Such That Means That 

You Have No Inheritance 

Or Right To An Inheritance 

With The Family Of God! 

Dear Ones, 

We Owe The Lord Everything 

So Let Us Be Wise 

And

Permit The Lord Christ To Direct Our Paths!

We Did Not Make Ourselves

And

We Cannot Save Ourselves! 

Humble Pie Tastes Better Than Dirty Pudding! 

Bow The Knee! 

Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: YOUR PICK: The Lamb's Scroll Or The Goat's Roll

The Great Lie Being Sold As The Great Truth 

In This Loosey-Goosey Liberal Age 

In Which We Are Walking 

Is 

That The Exceeding Broad Laws Of Almighty God 

Which Cover Every Aspect Of Our Lives 

Are Too Restrictive 

And 

Can Be Traded In At The Fast-Fashion Store Where 

I-Feel

My-Truth

I-Think

I-Need

I-Want

And 

Do-As-I-Please 

Are The "It" Brands! 

Brethren Beloved, 

Beware

Be Aware

Be Wary 

And 

Be Weary Of The Wisdom Of The Arch-Fiend 

Whose Chronic Case Of The I-Will's 

Led To The First Eviction Case In The Universe! 

The Eye-Full Willfulness Of Satan Deceived Eve 

And

Caused Disobedience In Adam 

And

Led To The First And Only Eviction From Eden

- The Garden Of God - 

Which Led To The Gully-Washer Of The Blowout-Eviction Of 

The Human Race During Noah's Flood 

Where Only The Eight True Believers' Souls Were Preserved 

In The Purpose-Built Ark Of Safety! 

We Are Now Heading Toward 

The Moving Event Of The Ages! 

Are You Getting Ready!?!

The Saints Of God And Christ 

Will Be Moving Up To Glory 

And

The Bold, Unrepentant, Sinners 

Will Be Burnt Out-Dispossessed From Existence! 

How Are You Presently Standing!?!

Will You Dare To Think For Yourself 

And 

Be On The Lamb's Book Of Life Scroll 

And

Wear The White Robe Of Righteousness 

Or

Be Group-Think Fashionable 

And

Be On The Goat's Roll Rolling To Eternal Damnation!?! 

You Are A Free-Will Agent By God-Given Right!

You Have Right To Make Your Own Decision

For Or Against Eternal Life

So Be Truly Wise For Your Own Self: 

The Lord's Truth Is Not Pie In The Sky By And By!

Salvation Is Available Free To Everyone In Every Town! 

Peace!
