Fearfully And Wonderfully Made!







Almighty God's Great Grace 
Is 
Utterly Amazing! 

The Lord Jesus ... Our Creator
With Amazing Love And Available Grace
With The Superbly Fine Touch Of The Master Hand
Caused Us To Be Fearfully Aka Awesomely
And 
Wonderfully Made! 

We All Know This To Be True 
And In Gratitude 
We Should Joyfully Give Our God 
Great And Glorious Praise
Morning, Evening, Noon And Night! 

Beloved, 

Choose To Think Of 
And 
Dare To Believe On The Lord Jesus Christ! 

We Don't Need To Change 
The Fluids In Our Circulatory System 
Every Three Months! 

We Don't Need To Change 
Our Kidneys After 10 Years! 

We Don't Need Our Legs Rotated 
Or 
Our Hearts Relined! 

We Don't Need Bi-Annual Brain Upgrades! 

We Don't Need Our Eye-Balls Fashionably Upgraded 
Just Because It's What's New On The Runway, Walkway
Or The Tongue Of Mr. Or Ms. It Or Popular Trans It! 

And

We Don't Need Our Mufflers Replaced!

Thank You, Jesus! 

Food Is Our Medicine 
And 
Our Medicine Is Our Food! 

As Long As We Live, We Live
And
When We Die
We Return In Component Parts To Origins: 
The Breath Of Life To Our Creator 
And 
Our Bodies To The Dust From Whence They Came! 

We Are Blessed! 

Don't You ... Even With Regular Aches
Pains, Problems, Pressures
And 
The Gift Of The Power Of Prayer
Think It Is Time To Lift Up Our Lord Jesus!?! 

I Don't Dare You
Because
A Reasoning, Honest, Heart
Should Cause You, Me, Us All
To See The Light Of Life
Get To It! 

Hallelujah, Jesus! 

Peace!

Heaven Will Be Worth It All!







Practice Make Practical 
Aka What You Practice 
You Become Efficient At Performing! 

If You Make A Habit Of Being Kind
You Act Kindly! 

If You Practice Cruelty
You Act Cruelly! 

Beloved, 

The Nature ... The Character Of Our Lord Christ
Which He Requires To Be Reproduced In His Children
- The Saints Of God And Christ - 
Demands That We Practice Gentleness, Goodness
Kindness, Temperance Aka Moderation
Love, Justice, Faithfulness, And Truthfulness
And 
Be Giving And Forgiving! 

Is It Going To Be Easy!?! 
No! 

Can It Be Accomplished!?! 
Yes! 

Is It Worth The Effort Required!?! 
Most Certainly! 

Should I Be Willing To Try!?! 
Only You Can Answer That! 
Remember, Though, No Risk ... No Reward!

No Cross ... No Crown!

Is There Help Available!?! 
It's Just A Prayer Away!?! 

But What If There Are Slip-Ups!?! 
He Who Says Do It Is There To Help You Up 
And
Get You Back On Track! 

Dear Ones, 

Acquiring Bad Habits Requires No Effort: 
That's As Water Down The Hill! 

Acquiring Good Habits Requires Time
         Blood
                  Sweat
                           Tears
                                     Prayers
Endurance
         Faith
                 Hope
                          Love
                                  Trust 
And
The Patience Of The Saints 
Who Are Standing Firmly 
On The "Yeah!" And "AMEN!!!" Promises Of 
Their Creator, Savior, Lord, God, Redeemer, King 
And 
Forever Faithful Friend! 

Pray ... Because He Cares! 
Do ... Because It's True! 
Testify ... Because It Edifies!
Praise ... And Be Raised! 

Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: YOUR CHOICE: Lip-Service Sorry Or True Repentance







Most People's Idea Of Being "Sorry!" 
Is 
With Regard To Being Caught Doing The Thing 
And
Getting Off Cheaply ... Or Without Cost 
And Not
About Actual Repentance Aka Turning Away From The Sin 
And
Not Doing It Again
By The Saving Grace Of The Living God! 

Beloved, 

Think About What You Thought Of Doing
Spoke About Doing
Have Done
Are Doing
Or Are Planning To Do: 
Where's Your Heart!?! 

If You Were Caught Doing The Dirty
Would You Be Truly Repentant Or Lip-Service Sorry!?! 

Which Would Hurt You More: 
Being Caught
Having To Apologize
Being Punished
Being Made Ashamed
Or Recognizing That 
Your Actions Crucify Our Dear Savior Again 
And
Bring His Name To Open Shame 
In The Presence Of Eager Evil-Doers!?! 

Being Repentant To Get Out Of Trouble 
Is 
Demeaning To The One Whom You've Hurt 
And
Insulting To The Lord Christ 
Who Has Gifted Us With Confession Of 
And 
Repentance For Sin 
As The Clear Path To Soul Salvation! 

All Sin 
Is 
Against Almighty God! 

False Repentance Diminishes All Who Consider 
Almighty God's Grace And Mercy 
As Cheap 
And 
Useless Trinkets! 

Please Walk Softly Before Our Lord Jesus 
And 
Choose To Treat Repentance 
As Though Your Life Depends On It: 
It Truly Does! 

Please Don't Sell Your Soul Short 
For A Sure Shot At Vain Glory! 

Offer To The Lord A Broken 
And 
Contrite Heart! 

Peace!

HAPPY SABBATH + Follow-Pattern Killed Cadogan: Faith In The Lord Is Precious Seed!

 









FACT: 

Faith ... Not Feeling
Is 
Precious Seed 
Which Bears Good Fruit To Abundant Harvest! 

Are You Indulging 
Infidelity Toward The Faith Of Jesus Christ 
Which Cannot Fail!?! 

Are You Waxing Bold 
And 
Daringly Indulging In Questioning
Doubting
And 
Criticizing The Living Word Of The Eternal God!?! 

Aren't You Afraid!?! 

When We Were Young
There Were Those Amongst Us 
Who Often Heard The Condemning Words 

"You Would Criticize The Very Dead!"
 
"You Would Take The Lord God Off His Throne 
If You Could!" 

Beloved, 

This Is A Nasty State Of Affairs 
With Which To Become Participant! 

There Is One Living God
One Holy Faith
And 
One True Baptism 
Which Washes Us Willing-Ones Clean 
From Every Sin! 

Ponder This ...

How Is It Possible That 
Any Of Us Finite, Known-Dying, Creatures 
Could Raise Up Altars To The False Gods Of 
Higher Criticism
Scientific Advancement
Financial Acumen
Entertainment Wizardry
And 
Sensual Fulfillment

And 

Call Our Creator A Liar 
And 
The Absentee Landlord
When ... Without Him
There Is Not Anything That We Can Do
To Even Help Or Save Ourselves  ... Or Another!?! 

Presumption Is A Sin!

Don't Tempt The Lord!

Dear Ones, 

Anything Outside Of Faith 
Is 
Sin 
And 
If We Choose To Doubt The Lord In One Thing
We Will Choose To Lose Faith In Him In Everything! 

One Foot-Fall ... One Wheel-Turn ... Starts The Journey: 
Where To Are You Headed!?! 

Old Wisdom:

Follow-Pattern Killed Cadogan! 

Translation:

Please Think For Yourself
And 
Don't Follow The Multitude To Do Evil
Because
What Sweetened Their Mouth
Might Very Well Kill You! 

Remember, Remember
Don't Ever Forget ...

Satan The Damned 
The Originator Of Doubt
Is 
The Blasphemous Liar
Who From Glorious Heaven
Was Unceremoniously Kicked Out! 

Doubt Decimates! 
Truth Elevates! 
Don't Pontificate! 
Let The Living Word Of The Eternal God
Your Mind Educate! 

Exercise, Exercise, Exercise, Faith: 
Only Jesus Christ, The Living God, Saves! 
Exercise Faith
And
Don't Procrastinate! 

Peace!

The Truth Is
And
Faith Will!

FAIR IS FAIR: Is There Someone You Despise, Envy, Or Hate!?!





There's An Old Saw That Says: 

He Who Steals My Possessions, Makes Me Poor 
And 
Enriches Himself 
But
He Who Steals My Good Name 
Does Not Enrich Himself 
But 
Makes Me Poor Indeed! 

Beloved, 

He Who Steals Your Possessions
Steals What Can Be Replaced 
But
He Who Steals Your Good Name
Aka Your Character
Goes As Far As Being Willing To Take Your Very Life 
Which Neither He Nor She Can Replace 
Or Profit From Eternally! 

Sooo, The Question Is This: 

"Is There Someone ... Anyone
Who You Despise, Envy
Or Hate Enough That 
You Would Be Willing To Give Up Heaven 
To See Them, Or Help To Have Them, Destroyed!?!" 

Are You Sure!?! 

Jesus Christ, Our Great Example
Made Himself Of No Reputation 
So That We Will Have His Character 
His Good Name
And Thereby
Be Blessed And Saved! 

With This Said
Who Are We, You And I, That 
We Should Seek To Destroy Those 
Whom Jesus Christ Died To Save!?! 

Have You Considered 
That In Plotting And Working Someone's Destruction 
That Someone Else 
Is 
Plotting And Working Out Your Destruction!?! 

Remember, Remember
Don't Ever Forget ... 

Do Unto Others 
What You Desire To Have Done Unto You! 

Fair Is Fair: 
         Fear Is Fear: 
                 Fare Is Fare! 
                 What You Did:
         What You'll Feel:
What You'll Pay To Get Where You Are Going!

Heaven 
Is 
Our Own To Gain:  
Is Your Heart Right With The Good Lord!?! 

Peace!

Truth Has No Expiration Date!








Okay! 
Let's Recap! 

Truth Has No Expiration Date! 

Salvation ... Which Includes Grace And Mercy
Has A Guaranteed-By Date! 

And

Evil Has A Use-By Date!

Please Think Deeply On These Things! 

Fret Not Thyself Over Evil-Doers 
Is 
The Take-It-To-The-Bank Command! 

Cast Your Burden On The Lord 
Is 
The Make-Haste-And-Do-It Command! 

Trust Ye In The Lord Forever 
Is 
The Always-Use Command! 

Pray Without Ceasing 
Is 
The Rest-Easy-In-Jesus Command! 

Beloved, 

Every Do And Don't-Do Command Of The Lord Jesus Christ 
Has The Weight Of Eternity Firmly Fixed To It 
And 
We, As Christians Committed To The Cause Of Christ
Should Never, Ever, Join With The Doubters
The Unbelievers
And 
Those Who Are Antagonized By The Plain Truth Of 
The Eternal Word Of The Omnipotent God 
To Place Saving Truth On The Same Ground
The Same Level
As The So-Called Great Works Of Literature! 

The Great Writers Wrote Their Conception Of The Truth! 

The Holy Word
Is 
The Good-News Gospel Truth Which Saves 
Aka Points One To Jesus Christ 
And 
Everlasting Life! 

Let's Get Our Priorities In Order 
And 
Do As We Are Instructed 
So That We Will Have The Peace That 
Passes Human Understanding! 

Jesus Christ The Righteous Aka The Truth
Never Changes: 
Learn And Live: 
Walk Wisely!

Peace!

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!
