VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Sorry-Not Sorry Ain't Christian!

We Ask The Lord For Pardon 

By Saying That We Are Sorry 

But

There Will Be No Pardon For Us 

If 

Our Sorry ... Our Penitence

Contains No Corresponding Humility! 

Beloved, 

Why Would You Say: 

"I Am Sorry!" 

When In Truth And Fact You Are Not!?! 

You Insult The One To Whom You Apologize 

And

Show That Your Credibility 

Is 

Definitely Not In Stock! 

Why Dimish Yourself In This Way Vulgar 

By Using Your Voice In The Manner Crude 

Including Going So Far As To Repent To Almighty God

Using The Faith And Name Of Christ Jesus

When You Know That You're Nothing But A Snot-Nose Fraud!?! 

I Am Genuinely Sorry To Use Such Strong Language 

But

This Behavior Cannot Go Unremarked 

Because

You Place Yourself In The Unenviable Position Of 

Having The Lord Cause You To Be Thrown Into The Outer Darkness! 

Jesus Christ Was Always Humble

Not Given To The Airs And Graces Of Putrid Pride

And

There Is No Way I Tell You Plain And Straight That 

Within The Pearly Gates You Will Abide 

With That Unregenerate Attitude Cozied Up On Your Insides! 

If You're Sorry, Be Sorry

But 

If You're Not, You're Not

So Don't Add Insult To Injury By Adding Perjury 

Because

In So Doing

By The Lord God Almighty

You Shall Surely Be Denied! 

Be Wise! 

Sorry-Not Sorry 

Is Not 

A Part Of The Christian's Bonafides! 

Let An Actively Working Conscience 

Be Your Choice Constant Companion 

And 

On-Board, On-Duty, Faithfully-Enduring Guide! 

Against Satan

And 

In Jesus' Christ Holy Name

Turn Deceit And Destruction's Rip Tide! 

Peace! 

HAPPY SABBATH + STOP LOOKING FOR LOVE IN UNPROFITABLE PLACES: Keep Your Eyes!

There Is No Opportunity To Love Unwisely 

When We Love The Lord Jesus Christ In Whom Is No Variableness 

And 

No Specter Of The Demonic Device! 

Beloved, 

If We Are Truthful As All Christians Should Ever Be

We Will Admit To Having Loved And Lost

And

Have Felt Like The Recipient Of An Angry Horse's Brutal Kick! 

It Is Time That We Learn Once And For All Time That 

Love Is Not A Chemical Given To Reaction 

To Be Turned Up, Down And Off 

Depending On When And How The Recipient Of Our Affection 

Cooperates With Our Then-Current Emotion! 

Love 

Is 

A Decision That Does Not Depend On Atmosphere

Entertainment, Cash, Credit

Grief

Presence, Presents, Or Loss! 

Let's Stop Looking For Love In Unprofitable Places 

And 

Choose To Take The Lord At His Word: 

Put The Lord, First, Last, And Always

Depend Upon His Word

Follow After His Will

Walk In His Way

And

Wait Upon The Lord 

After You Have Asked Him To Provide Your Blessed Companion! 

Samson Loved The Pagan Delilah 

That Lying Money-Grubber Who Took His Eyes! 

King Solomon Loved Many Pagan Women 

Who Turned His Heart Away From The Lord! 

King Herod Loved The Vile, Blood-Thirsty Herodias 

Who Took Fore-Runner John's Head! 

Brethren, Beloved

Character Counts When Companions Call! 

Remember, Remember

Don't Ever Forget ... 

Your Life's Companion 

Will Either Help You To Get Home To Glory 

Or Book You A Free Ticket To Hell!

Samson And King Solomon Came To Their Senses: 

King Herod Did Not! 

Learn From The Errors Of Others 

And

Be Wise! 

Love Sees: 

Keep Your Eyes! 

Peace! 

THE BAD MARRIAGE: Self In Sin With Satan

KJV Job 34

21 For his eyes are upon the ways of man, and he seeth all his goings.

22 There is no darkness, nor shadow of death, where the workers of iniquity may hide themselves.

Uplifting Self

Being Entangled In Sin

And 

Being Enmeshed With Satan The Damned 

Is 

Like Being Anchored In A Bad Marriage To The Unth Degree 

With An Exceedingly Abusive, Jealous, Vindictive

Manipulative, Emotionally-Bankrupt, Idol-Worshipping Spouse 

Who Deprives You Of Physical And Spiritual Food 

Even As They Regularly Attempt To Cut Off Your Air Supply 

As They Venomously Ask: 

"Why Are You Staying Alive!?!" 

Beloved, 

Before The Darkness Descends

And 

While There Is Still Some Life Left In Us

Where There Is Still Hope

Should Not We Permit The Spirit Of Truth 

To Bring To Our Remembrance That 

We May Trust The Lord Christ For Sure Salvation 

And

Unceasingly Plead With Our God 

To Deliver Us From The Destruction Of Disobedience

And 

The Darkness Of Death And Damnation!?! 

Those, Like Lucifer Nka Satan, Who Willfully

Wittingly, Recklessly, Reject 

The Love Of The Kind King And Righteous Judge 

Have No Love For The Living God

For Themselves

Nor For Another Living Soul 

And, Thus

Have Nothing To Lose 

When They Embark On Their Reigns Of Terror! 

Sin Has No Feelings! 

Self Is A Bold Sinner 

And

Satan Is Condemned And Damned With Nothing To Lose 

So Causing You To Lose What He Can Never Reclaim 

Makes His Short Time Left To Exist Worth Living! 

Get Out Of The Soul-Destroying Marriage Of 

Self In Sin With Satan 

And

Rush To Salvation In The Savior Jesus! 

Everything To Gain

Is 

With The King Of Love

Who Calls You To Live And Not Die! 

Answer That Emergency Call Today! 

Peace! 

Choose Life ... And Blessings!

Provocations And Enticements Aside

We Always Have A Free-Will Choice! 

By The Word Of Man You Would Be Dead! 

By The Will Of Almighty God You Are Alive! 

The Word Of God Creates! 

The Will Of Man Decimates! 

The Word Of God Illuminates! 

The Word Of Man Enervates! 

The Word Of God Satiates! 

The Word Of Man Obfuscates! 

The Will And Way Of God Elevates! 

The Will And Ways Of Man Tittilate! 

With Whom, And For What, Will You Stand!?! 

Beloved, 

We Have This Choice: 

Exercise Faith In The Living Word Of The Eternal God 

Or Indulge Doubt Concerning 

The Eternal God's Ability To "Back-Up His Mouth!" 

Aka Do Exactly As He Has Promised! 

With Regard To Ourselves

Are We Being Faithful To Our Promises To Our Dear Savior!?! 

Do You Understand And Accept That 

Giving Your Word To The Lord 

And

Standing Upon This Word 

Through The Gift Of Faith Daily Given To You To Help You 

Is

Your Only Safeguard Against Descending Into Doubt And Despair 

Which Are Lively Tools Of Satan!?! 

We Will Make Mistakes 

But

We Have An High Priest Who Feels 

And 

Understands What We Go Through 

And

Provides Help To Us In The Person Of The Holy Spirit 

Who Comforts, Guides, And Corrects Us 

And

Sets Us On Straight Paths! 

You Need Help!?! 

Ask For Help 

And

Reach For The Hand That Brings Hope, Help 

And 

Healing! 

You Need Rest!?! 

Reach For Shiloh

The Prince Of Peace

Jesus Christ The King

In Whom Is Rest And Refreshing! 

Choose Love! 

Choose Life! 

Choose The Lord! 

Peace! 

GET THE MONKEY OFF YOUR BACK: Forgive To Be Forgiven!

If You Want A Monkey Off Your Back

Let Him Go! 

It Is Sad To See So Many Of Us Who Call The Name Of Jesus

And 

Claim The Power Of His Resurrection

Walking Around Consumed With Bitterness 

Over The Things Of Yesterday Which Cannot Be Undone 

And

Laboring Under The Yoke Of The Spirit Of Unforgiveness 

Because 

We Are Fooling Ourselves That 

Not Forgiving Someone Who Hurt Us 

Is 

Making Us Powerful-Strong! 

Beloved, 

If You Have Been Carrying This Monkey On Your Back

It Is Time To Get Out Your Nuts! 

Unforgiveness Hurts One Person 

And 

This Is Us 

If

We Refuse To Forgive! 

Forgiving Someone Frees Us To Walk Upright

Unburdened

And 

Unconcerned About Who Thinks That We Are Weak 

And

Cuts Off Their Supposed Control Of Our Momentary Feelings! 

It Is Time To Stop Being A "Bumble" Bee Or A "Killer" Bee 

And

Start Being A Real "Honey" Bee! 

Dare To Take Pollen From The Flowers In The Garden Of God 

And

In The Hive Of Your Mind 

Make The Sweet Nectar Of A Peaceful, Hopeful

Blessed-To-Be-A-Blessing Heart 

And

Do Honor To The King Of Your Life 

Who Asks You To Forgive Just As You Desire To Be Forgiven! 

The Lord Jesus 

Is 

Never Going To Forgive You Your Trespasses Against Him 

If 

You Refuse To Forgive Those 

Who Have Trespassed Against Aka Hurt You! 

Imagine Being Rejected At The Border Of The Promised Land 

Because 

Your Hardness Of Heart Made You Smell Like Self, Sin, And Satan! 

Count The Cost 

And

Choose Profit Over Loss! 

Be Ye Healed: 

Obey The Lord! 

Boldly Forgive Someone Today! 

Peace!

 

PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY: The Buck Stops Here!?!

Many Of Us Are In For A Rude Awakening 

When We Appear Before The Judgment Seat Of Jesus Christ 

Because 

Our Usual Pass The Buck, Blame Someone Else

Will Have Exhausted Its Usefulness 

And 

We Will Be On The Hook For The Unpaid, Long-Overdue Bill Of 

Take Personal Responsibility! 

It Is Safe To Say That 

Lucifer Blamed The Father For His Cockups 

Because 

The Father Refused To Let Him Have 

What The Father Gave To His Son! 

End Result: 

Condemnation And Damnation! 

Adam Blamed Almighty God For Giving Him A Defective Wife 

And 

For His Own Willful Disobedience! 

Eve Blamed The Serpent For Deceiving Her Into Wanting More 

When She Already Had Everything That She Needed! 

End Result: 

Cursed, Cast Out

Pain, Hard Labor

Suffering

And 

Death 

Plus

Jesus Christ Having To Die To Save The Race! 

Beloved, 

We Are No Longer Children! 

We Have Knowledge Of The Experiences Of Others 

Which Should Counsel Us To Be Wise: 

Satan Can't Make Us Do Anything! 

As Humans, We All Do What Our Flesh Desires! 

As Committed Christians

We Should All Be Doing What The Lord Wills! 

Mistakes Happen

So Please Choose To Recognize The Error

Repent Of The Sin

Accept Loving Correction

And 

Align Your Desires With The Father's Will! 

Taking Responsibility For Your Own Actions

Minus The Arrogant Attitude

Plus The Humble Spirit 

Equals A Definite Growth In Grace On The Road To Glory! 

"I Was Wrong, And I Beg Your Pardon!" 

Yields Fruit Most Pleasant To Enjoy! 

Dare And Choose To Do Right 

And 

To Glory Rise To Live With Eternal Light 

In The Land Of No Night! 

Peace!

Enmity And Adultery!

For Us To Be Accused Of Committing Adultery Means That 

We Are In A Binding, Legally-Ordained, Marriage 

And

We Have Been Caught Walking Wild! 

To Be Told That The Worldly "Friendship" That 

We Are Indulging In 

Outside Of Our Marriage To The Lord 

Turns Us Into His Enemies Through Enmity 

Should Shock Us Into Wakefulness 

From Our Napping In Enemy Territory! 

When The Lord Pronounced The Curse On The Serpent, A Name For Satan

He Said That He Was Putting Enemity Aka Bitter Hatred 

Between The Seed Of The Woman 

And 

The Seed Of The Serpent! 

The Serpent's Offspring Are Rabid, Unrepentant, Sinners 

Who Are Heel-Biters Aka Snakes In The Grass 

Who Were Going To Get Their Heads Whacked! 

Jesus, The Seed Of The Woman, Would Be Injured In The Heel 

But 

Would Emerge Victorious From Death, The Grave, And Hell! 

Beloved, 

Be Wise Before Bending To, And Canoodling With, Beelzebub 

Aka Satan Aka The Serpent! 

The Lord Can Save Us When We Become Satan's Enemies! 

Problem: 

We Can't Survive Being The Enemy Of The Eternal God! 

Sugar And Sin Taste Good 

But

Will Put You In The Burying Ground! 

Vegetable Soup And Salvation Taste Good 

And

Will Make You Healthy And Strong

And 

Get You ... Redeemed

Into The Living Kingdom Before Long! 

Some Friendships In This Life Are Not Worth Cultivating 

Or Keeping! 

Please Don't Let Divorce Be The Option! 

Keep Your Marriage Vows: 

Remain Faithful And Loyal To Your Lord! 

Peace! 

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Discontentment Is Satanic!

Stop Letting The Eyes Of Others Spend Your Money 

Aka Stop Allowing The Envy Of People's Stuff And Nonsense 

To Debit Your Bank Account, Literal And Spiritual! 

Someone's Eyes Saw "It" First! 

Someone's Hands Acquired "It" First

And 

Now Your Heart Is Viewing "It" 

Through Someone Else's Vision 

And

Your Once-Contented Heart Has Become That Of 

A Discontented Brown Cow 

Who Kicks Over The Pail Of White Milk That 

She Ate Much Green Grass To Produce 

To Bless Many Others! 

Beloved, 

Discontentment Is Satanic 

And 

This Is Why We Are Instructed To Be Contented 

With Such Things As We Already Have! 

No Christian Should Ever Want To Have 

Their Last Stand Be, Nor Die, On The Hill Called Envy! 

Do You Know How Who Got What!?! 

Are You Able To Do What Was Done 

To Have What That Person Holds!?! 

Will Your Maker, Savior, Healer, Helper, Sealer 

Be Satisfied With Your Vain Choice!?! 

Please Do Not Allow Someone's Mouthful To Block Your Airway 

Aka Don't Let Look-At 

Cause You To Buy Can't-Afford 

At Even-If-Kills-Me Mercantile Exchange! 

Satan The Damned Tried That For The Win: 

He Failed At Winning

Had A Partial Win At Lying

And 

Is Waiting For The Grand Finale: 

Eternally Dying! 

This One Time, Dear Ones 

Learn Something Profitable From King Fraud: 

Envy Kills The Future

By Blighting The Present!! 

Listen Carefully

Obey Unwaveringly

And 

Live Enduringly By Every Blessed Word That 

Comes From The Mouth Of The Lord! 

Peace! 

HAPPY SABBATH + At The Border Of Change!

Walking To The Border Of Change In The Valley Of Decision 

Is Not 

A Journey For The Self-Sufficient 

Or For Those Who Know Not How To Be Humble, Meek! 

Living Wisdom Says: 

He Who Knows Not

And

Knows Not He Knows Not

He Is Fool: 

Shun Him!

He Who Knows Not

And

Knows He Knows Not

He Is A Child: 

Teach Him!

 

He Who Knows

And

Knows He Knows

He Is A Wise Man: 

Follow Him! 

Our God Eternal Is All-Knowing

So Let Us, As Believers, Adopt The Persona Of A Child 

And

Permit Our Father To Teach Us All That We Need To Know 

So That We Will Have The Sense 

To Follow His Leading At The Border Of Change 

So That We Will Cross The Valley Of Decision Safely 

And 

Reach The Promised Land Unscathed! 

Beloved, 

A Self-Sufficient Person 

Will Never Court Humility Or Meekness 

In Order To Ask For Much Needed Help! 

Since We Are Warned Against 

Leaning On Our Own Understanding

And 

Doubting That The Lord Himself Is Able To Help Us

It Stands To Reason That Anyone Smelling Of Self 

Will Have No Need Of The Savior! 

Please Don't Fall Into Satan's Well-Set Trap Of Pride! 

We Need The Lord Jesus Christ

And

We Need To Be Rid Of 

The Deadly Influence Of Satan, King Fraud! 

Meekness And Gentleness

- The Opposite Of Pride -

Were Good Enough For Our Dear Jesus 

In His Earthy Sojourn

So They Must Be Good Enough For Us! 

Please Exercise Your Daily Gift Of Faith For The Day

Or You Will Not The Great Gates Of Pearl Enter In! 

Change Must Come: 

Dump Self 

And 

Dump Sin For The Eternal Win! 

Be Your Heavenly Father's Well-Beloved

Obedient, Trusting, Child! 

Peace!

TRANSFORMED: Unmasking The Masked!

Is Your Mask On!?! 

Is Your Facial Expression Shellacked In Place!?! 

Does Anyone Know The Real You 

Or Are They Just Looking At The Someone That 

Time And Circumstance Grew!?! 

Beloved, 

We Have All Worn Masks Of One Kind Or Another 

At One Time Or Another 

But

As Children Of The Father

As The-Bought With The Blood Of The Son

As Those Comforted By The Holy Spirit

We, By Faith, May Set Aside The False Image 

And 

By The Love Of Jesus Christ ... The Great Physician

Display The True Me ... The True You! 

Our Savior Could Not Lie 

And 

Let Us Die Lost! 

He Had To Live The Truth 

And 

Die The Death 

So That We, Convicted Of Sin And Of Righteousness

May Ultimately In The Father's House Of Joy And Peace 

Eternally Live! 

Masks Cast Shadows Which Hide The True 

And 

Highlight The False: 

This Behavior Practiced By Satan 

Placed Our Lord Upon Calvary's Cruel, Accursed, Cross! 

Today Is The Day Of Salvation 

When We Must Throw Off The Mask Of Sin 

And 

Let The Light That Is The Life Of Our King Jesus 

Shine In Our Eyes 

Revealing Our New Lives! 

Nothing That Defiles May Enter The Glorious City 

And So 

I Beseech Us All To Get Rid Of Anything And Everything 

Which Will Stop Grace And Mercy 

From Transforming Our Lives! 

The Death-Mask Of Sin Is For A Time: 

Nothing That Bears The Stench Of Finite-Time 

Will Enter Eternity! 

Be Transformed: 

Renew Your Mind! 

Let The World See Jesus Christ In You! 

Smile: 

Drop Sin And Self 

And 

Keep Salvation 

And

Recognize That We Are At The Last Mile Marker 

On The Road To Home! 

Be Real! 

Get Ready! 

Be Redeemed! 

Peace!

SECOND-GUESSING ALMIGHTY GOD: "No!" Is A Complete Sentence!

To See Our Lord Jesus Christ In Perfect Peace

We Must Understand, Accept

And 

Operate Under The Knowledge That "No!" 

Is 

A Complete Sentence 

Bearing Full Instructions Incapable Of 

Being Misconstrued, Misapplied

Mistaken, Mismanaged

Or Misinterpreted! 

Beloved, 

I Don't Know About You

But 

It Always Cracks Me Up To Hear One Person Say To Another: 

"Which Part Of "No!" Didn't You Understand: 

The N Or The O!?!" 

"No!" Stands For No Options! 

The Idea Of A One-Word Sentence 

Should Not Be Strange To Christians! 

We Have Jesus, Mercy, Grace

Help, Love, Heaven, Peace

Believe, Repent

Liar, Babylon, Hell, Satan! 

Each Of These One-Word Sentences 

Should Instantly Write A Story 

And 

Paint An Unmistakeable Picture In Our Minds! 

Dear One, 

How Do You Feel About Being Told "No!?!" 

Does Your Internal Translator 

Automatically Substitute "Yes!" In Its Place!?! 

Are You One Given To The Idea That 

"No!" Means Let The Negotiations Begin!?! 

Do You Believe That 

Second-Guessing The Lord For Denying You Your Heart's Desire 

Is 

Going To Make Like A Bird And Fly!?! 

We Are Growing In Grace 

          Through Faith 

                     Which Works By Love! 

Refusing The Direct Command Of 

The Lord Will Not Get You The New Life

The New Name

The White Robe

The Gold Harp

Or The Gold Crown! 

What We Practice We Perfect! 

Let's Set About Perfecting Our Praise 

And 

Accepting The Good Lord's "No!" Of Love By Faith 

So That By Patient Endurance We Will Hear 

"Welcome!" 

                      "Enter!" 

                                    "Home!" 

                                                     "Peace!" 

Medicine After Death!?!

 

It Is Normal To Receive Medicine When One Is Ill 

But 

Who Has Ever Heard Of Taking Medicine After Death!? 

When You Know Right

Do Right!

Beloved, 

We Have A Very Nasty Habit Of 

Afterward 

Wanting To Meticulously Do The Thing 

Which We Should Have Done 

Before 

We Were Punished For Negligence, Disobedience

And 

Presumption! 

When Will We Learn!?! 

Negligence Contains Malice! 

Disobedience Contains Willfulness 

And

Presumption Contains Pride! 

So Much For Being Innocent! 

The Lord Our God Plainly Says: 

"To Obey

Is

Better Than Sacrifice!" 

Isn't It Better To Lay Out Our Pride At The Feet Of Jesus 

In A Bold Act Of Humility 

Than To Have It Knocked Out Of Us 

As Punishment For Gross Vanity!?! 

There's The Old Expression About Taking The Horse To Water 

But 

Being Unable To Make Him Take A Drink! 

The Remainder Of That Expression States: 

But You Can Put Salt In His Mash

Aka His Food! 

Salt Makes One Thirsty 

And 

That Horse Will Run To The Water To Quench His Thirst 

Without Asking Himself WHY He Is Now Soooo Thirsty! 

We Are Not Horses! 

Think! 

Acting In Haste Results In Repentance At Leisure 

So Stop Wasting Resources On What You Can't Afford! 

Disobedience Costs

Obedience Pays

And 

Repentance Is The Longest Day Of Our Lives! 

Let Us Do All That The Lord Asks As 

And

When Required 

And 

We Will Not Be Put On The Prepared-For-Satan Funeral Pyre! 

Choose To Be Satan's F.O.E: 

Utilize Faith

                       Obedience, And 

                                   Endurance In Your Warfare! 

Use 

Faith In Almighty God

Obedience To His Will, And 

Endurance On The Walk To The Father's House Of Love! 

You Will Arrive Home Safely! 

Peace!

One Disorder, Three Lives, Three Outcomes!

If I Knock On Your Forehead

Will You Cheerfully Answer The Front Door!?! 

If The Answer Is Not An Emphatic "Yes!" 

What, May I Ask, Is Eating You!?! 

The Frontal Lobe Of The Brain Deals With 

Our Spirituality Aka Our Need To Worship

Our Morality Aka Our Chosen Behavior

And 

Our Will Aka To Do Or Not To Do Right, Wrong, Dicey Or Disgusting! 

The Holy Word Says That 

In The Presence Of Two Or Three Witnesses

A Matter Should Be Established: 

King Saul, King Solomon, And Prophet Elijah Were All Depressed

Suffering From Stinking Thinking! 

Instead Of Being Obedient And Walking With The Spirit Of Truth

King Saul Went Rogue 

And 

Ended Up Playing Footsie With That Lying Spirit, Satan

And 

Effectively, Efficiently, Offed Himself! 

King Solomon Disobediently Went After Many Pagan Wives And Concubines 

And 

Also Did What Many Of Us Are Doing Today 

Aka He Tried Every "Pleasure" Until Pleasure Was Pain! 

He Hated His Life 

And

Called Everything Vanity And Vexation Of Spirit! 

King Solomon Eventually Came To His Senses 

And 

Was Converted 

But 

Took The Scars With Him To His Grave! 

Elijah ... Almighty God's Faithful Prophet

Was Hunted Down Like A Wild Dog 

By The Blood-Thirsty Pagan Queen Jezebel: 

He Ran From Her 

And 

He Wanted To Die! 

The Lord Gave Prophet Elijah  A Work To Do 

And

At Its Completion 

He Was Picked Up In A Fiery Chariot 

And 

Carried To Heaven: 

He Never Tasted Death! 

One Disorder

         Three Lives

                Three Outcomes! 

Dear Ones,

Depressed Or Not

We Have Our Sacrosanct Will With Which To Bless God: 

Please Let Him Take Control Aka Have Master-Control

And 

You Shall Know, Enjoy, Experience His Perfect Peace!
