HAPPY SABBATH + Bold Affronts To Modernity!

As Committed Christians, Pilgrims

Strangers In A Strange Land

Peculiar People

Square Pegs In Round Holes

And 

Bold Affronts To Modernity

We Are Constantly Under Attack From 

The Enemy Of Souls! 

Are We Not Also Within The Safety Of The Safe Fold

Protected By The Strong Tower

And 

Under The Sheltering Wings Of The Holy God!?! 

Which Is Stronger: 

The Storms Of Satan 

Or

The Shelter Of The Savior!?! 

Which Is More Powerful: 

Satan's Curse 

Or

Our Savior's Blessing!?! 

The Sword Of Sin 

Or

The Shield Of Salvation!?! 

Beloved, 

In Life And At The Judgment 

There Will Only Be Two Types Of People: 

Those For Jesus Christ The King 

And 

Those For Satan The Damned! 

When All Of The Trials 

And 

Torments Of This Short Sojourn Are Over

On The Day Of The Eternal God's Appointing

There Will Be Two Types Of People: 

The Saints Of God And Christ 

Aka The Righteous And Holy Ones 

Who Leaned On The Everlasting Arms 

By Truly Trusting His Living Word Of Truth 

And

The Unrepentant Sinners 

Aka The Unholy And The Filthy Ones 

Who Leaned On Their Own Understanding 

Preferring The Lies Of Satan 

Because 

They Had No Love For The Truth Of Almighty God! 

Dear Ones, 

Let Us Not Be Rebellious! 

Let Us Pray Today To Remain Faithful

Having Endurance

And 

Exercising Wisdom 

To Ever Stand Up For And With Our Lord Jesus! 

We Are Nearing Home! 

Peace!

Tickets On The Old Ship Of Zion Are Free!

Heads Up! 

When We  Accept That 

There Is Security In Almighty God's Protection

We Will

- With The Confidence That Resides 

Within Our Daily Gift Of Faith Received From 

Our Savior, Lord, God, And King -

Ask Him 

- Who We Love Because He Loved Us First -

To Hear Our Heartfelt Prayers 

And

To Be Our Defence, Our Guardian, And Our Guide

And

To Deliver Us Not Just From The Devil, Evil Diseases, And Disasters

But From The Blackness And Darkness Of  The Second Death! 

Beloved, 

Our Relationship With Our Blessed Jesus 

Involves Relations And A Ship! 

If We Are Walking, Living, Being In Accord With King Jesus

Our Relations, Interactions, Involvement With Each Other 

Will Be Related To The Agreed-Upon Goal: 

Together Forever!

Heaven-Bound

At The Sound Of The Last Trumpet! 

This Is Where The Good Ship Of Zion Comes In! 

Dear Ones, 

To Get On Board The Ship

We Have To Know About The Ship 

And

Have A Desire To Get On Board! 

We Have To Know Where The Ship Is Going 

And 

Have A Desire To Go There! 

We Have To Know The Ship's Operator 

And 

Their Reputation For Service And Support

Their Performance Record

And

Whether They Stand Behind Their Product! 

Lastly, 

We Have To Decide By The Available Public Evidence

Whether We Are Willing, Ready, To Go All In 

And 

Accept That Tickets Are Free 

And That 

Our Desire Will Take Us Into The Presence Of 

The Only One Divine! 

Please Read Your Bible: 

Jesus Christ Delivers You! 

Are You Going!?! 

Peace!

CHOOSE TO BE MORE: The Change Must Come!

If You Really Believed That 

The All-Knowing God Was Ever-Present 

And 

Ever Seeing All That You Are Doing

Hearing All That You Are Saying

And 

Aware Of All That You Are Thinking

How Would You Actually Live Your Life From Day To Day

Moment By Moment!?! 

What Is Stopping You From Believing The Infallible Word 

Which Tells Us What The Lord Is Unerringly Doing 

At This Very Moment!?! 

Beloved, 

Are We ... Because Of Unbelief And Willful Blindness

Becoming Like The Fool Who Says In His Heart That 

There Is No God 

Because 

Acknowledging The Knowing, Seeing, Present God Means That 

Our Present Ungodly Thoughts, Words, Actions, And Activities 

Must Be Renounced, Repudiated

Changed To Reflect One's New Standing 

As Revealed Through The Word

Will

And 

Ways Of The Eternal And Only Wise God!?! 

There Are Many Men And Many Minds 

But

One Holy God

One Way To The Holy God

And 

One Narrow Road To His Glory 

And

That's The Reason Why We Are Told 

To Buy Eye-Salve From The Lord Jesus! 

Blinded Eyes 

Go Where Dull Sense Says! 

Re-Sighted Eyes 

Go Where The Healing, Sealing, Savior Sends! 

Dear Ones, 

We Are Called To Be Better 

And 

To Rise Higher Than Where We Are 

Through Almighty God's Grace 

Which Causes Us To Be, To Do, To Say, To See

And 

To Be Saved And Blessed! 

Let Us Choose To Be More 

By Him Who Is The Door! 

Let Us Live In And For Jesus Christ The Lord: 

He Is Right Here! 

Give Him Honor, Glory, And Praise! 

Peace!

REJOICING: Praying And Praising!

Let's Investigate Rejoicing 

Aka Praying And Praising! 

Praying Lifts Us Up To Our Eternal God 

And

Praise In Song 

Is 

A Defence Against Despair And Discouragement! 

Satan The Damned Poisonously Hates Praying And Praising

And

For This Reason

And

The Fact That Our Dear Savior Asks Us To Pray Without Ceasing

And

To Offer Unfeigned Praise Over His Glorious Works And Eternal Majesty 

Is 

Why We Should Hungrily, Thirstily, Unfailingly Indulge! 

Within Praying Is A Pry Bar 

To Get Us Away From Sin

And

To Walk Wisely In The Gifted Free-To-All Salvation! 

Within Praising Is Raising

A Pin

And

A Ping! 

When The Sharp Pin Of 

Despondency, Despair, And Discouragement Dig Into You

And 

You Feel That Ping Of Hurt On Your Nerves

You Know That It Is Time 

To Start Raising Your Head, Heart, And Voice 

As You Bless God 

While Praising Him For Another Reason To Believe His Word

Trust His Promises

And 

To Damn That Satan 

By Working Your Day's Faith To A Nubbin ... And To Death! 

Beloved, 

Let Us Choose This Day To Look For Blessings

And 

For Reasons For Praying And Praising

And 

Let Us Bless Almighty God For Our Privilege

Our Invitation

To Boldly Approach The Throne Of Grace! 

PRAYER:

Thank You, Jesus, For The Purchased Peace! 

I Give You Thanks And Praise

For My Blessings Already Experienced 

And

Those Even Now On The Way!

AMEN!!!

**--**--**--**--**

Life May Leave You With Nothing

But

With Jesus Christ

As Your Eternal Portion

You Will Have Everything!

Humble-Pride!?! Prideful-Humility!?!

There Can Be No Pride 

When We Are Praying To Or Praising The Lord God Almighty! 

Beloved, 

When We Approach The Throne Of Grace

It Is For A Purpose Which Should In All Aspects 

Please Our Creator 

And

Should Ever Be For His Glory And Our Good! 

Can You See Why The Lord Accepted The Prayer Of 

The Publican Who Recognized His Wretched Condition 

And 

Saw His Great Need For 

The Mercy, The Saving Grace, Of The Eternal God 

But

Summarily Rejected The Pompous, Privileged

Posturing Pronouncements Of The Prideful Pharisee 

Who Behaved As Though He Was Doing The Living God A Favor 

By Cataloging His "Virtues" 

In That Very Public Sphere For The World To Hear!?! 

Dear Ones, 

If There Is Even The Mildest Stench Of Pride In Our Prayers

We Have Got Ourselves A Problump 

Aka A Problem Which Will Cause Us To Be Lumped With The Proud

Disobedient, Unrepentant Workers Of Iniquity! 

Let's Make It A Point 

To Ever Remember To Humble Ourselves 

And

Pray 

And

Seek The Lord's Face ... His Presence! 

Pride Got Lucifer Evicted From Heaven: 

Pride Will Keep Us From Entering! 

Please Remember Also That 

There Is No Such Thing As Humble-Pride Or Prideful-Humility! 

There Are No Two-Color Saints' Robes: 

The Robe Of Righteousness 

Is

Clean And White Linen! 

Please Make A Note 

And 

Behave According To Your Preferred Eternal Destination's 

Code Of Conduct! 

Peace!

AVAILABLE: Free Enemies!

 

AVAILABLE

To Anyone 

Who Will Live Godly Lives

In Christ Jesus: 

FREE ENEMIES!

 

REQUIREMENTS

For Acquisition: 

Stand Up For Jesus Christ 

And

Stand Firmly Against All Things 

Which Would Crucify Our Dear Savior Afresh! 

Dear Ones, 

It Must Be Understood That 

As Long As We Do Not Fit In With That Worldly-Wise Lot 

Who Question The Word, Ways, And Works Of 

The Only Wise God 

And, Instead

Are Named Wise-Unto-Salvation

Detractors, Haters, Instigators, Tempters

Tormentors, And Spoilers 

Will Show Up Like Vultures 

And 

Wait For You To Drop In Your Tracks 

From Exhaustion 

To Await Death 

So That They May Pick Your Bones Clean! 

Beloved, 

By Almighty God's Grace

Disappoint The Evil-Doers! 

We Belong To The Most High God 

And 

We Are To Lose Ourselves In His Undying

Unchanging, Unfailing, Love 

Which Untiringly Works For Our Soul Salvation 

And 

Gives Sacrificially For Our Eternal Blessing! 

Let Us Be Glad That 

We Are Numbered Amongst Those 

Who Are Counted Worthy To Suffer For Our Lord! 

Please Take Note That 

We Will Be Suffering For The God Who Creates

The God Who Is Life

Whilst Those Who Work For The Enemy Of Souls 

Work For The Father Of Lies

Who Only Births Sin, Death, Shame, And Sorrow

And

Leaves His Adherents, His Followers, With No Hope 

For A New Life In The Eternal God's Sweet Tomorrow! 

Please Stand Up For Jesus Christ The King 

Knowing That You Do Not Stand Alone! 

Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Satanic Manipulation

 

For The Record, We Know Of A Surety That 

Anyone Who Seeks To Force Our Will 

By Manipulation, Intimidation, And Domination 

Is 

Working For No Less A Personage Than Satan The Damned! 

Also, By Curiosity

By Seeking New, Novel, And Mindblowing

Or For Fear Of Someone Powerful, Rich, Or Volatile

We Place Ourselves Or Are Placed Under The Control Of 

Fallen Angels, Wicked Spirits, Demons! 

The Early Church Was Not Exempt From This 

And 

Neither Are We! 

We Are Cautioned To Test The Spirits 

To See Whether They Are Of God! 

The Holy Spirit 

Will Never Contradict The Preserved Word Of God 

And

Will Never Manipulate, Intimidate, Or Dominate Us: 

That's The Devil's Domain 

And

Comes From A Place Of Hatred 

Because 

Love Doesn't Operate Like That! 

Dear Ones, 

Those Persons Seeking To Control Us 

Are Also Being Controlled

And 

Will Speak Of Love, Caring

And 

Our Profit As Their One Motivation: 

They Lie Like Cheap Rugs! 

Jesus Christ Our King Loves Us 

And

Humbly, Openly, Came Himself To Save Us: 

It Cost Him Not Us! 

Satan Always Uses A Middle Man 

Until He Doesn't! 

Directness By Truth

Reasoning By Grace

And

Persuasion By Mercy 

All Wrapped Up In Heavenly Love 

Are The Ways Of Almighty God! 

Know The Truth 

And 

Walk In The Light That Gives Life 

To Escape The Polished Deceits Of The Devil! 

Be Safe And Saved ... In The Arms Of Jesus! 

Peace! 

HAPPY SABBATH + On The Horns Of A Dilemma!

The Chant Is Often Heard: 

"No Justice: No Peace!" 

And 

People Are Suitably Impressed Or Terrified About What Is Next! 

There Is No Justice Without Truth! 

Jesus Christ Is The Truth 

And 

He Is Also The Prince Of Peace Who Is Our Peace! 

Without Jesus

We Will Never Know Almighty God's Grace 

Aka Favor Aka Power 

Or Experience His Mercy 

Because 

We Would Be Subject To God's Strict Justice 

Which Will Be Ministered Then 

Without His Now Presently Available Free-To-All Mercy! 

This, Dear Ones

Is 

What One Would Call Being On The Horns Of A Dilemma! 

Sin-Loving Man Wants 

What Only Almighty God Through Jesus Christ Our Lord Can Give 

Without Jesus Christ Being Involved! 

That's A Big-Able Problem! 

Not To Put Too Fine An Edge On The Razor

We Always Want People's Things Without Asking 

Or Paying For The Privilege Of Ownership! 

Man-Peace Is No Peace 

And 

Man's Idea Of Justice 

Is 

Most Often Perverted To Benefit The Highest Bidder! 

This Is Not So With The Eternal God

The Judge Of All Flesh! 

Beloved, 

Let Us This Day Walk Humbly Before Our God

Honoring And Pleasing Him In His Holiness

So That In Our Hour Of Trial 

It Is Jesus Christ, Himself

Who Will Plead His Shed Blood For Us

At His Judgment Bar! 

Perfect Peace Is Precious 

And 

Part Of The Salvation Plan! 

Peace Be Upon You! 

Wisdom And The Word From The Only Holy One!

When Desire And Contentment Are Not Aligned 

With The Will And Ways Of The Lord

The End Result Is The Game Of Footsy 

Played With And Against Us By The Known-Wily God-Fraud

Satan The Known-Damned! 

Beloved, 

Desire Works For And/Or Against Us! 

The Choice Is Our Own 

But

To Make Desire Work For Us

We Need To Make A Direct Call To The Holy One! 

Desire For Truth

To Know And Do Right

To Walk In The Life Of Light

And 

To Escape Sin's Blight

Comes From The Word Of The King Of Love

Our Shepherd Of Rest

Who, Alone, Can Help Us Known-Sin To Confess! 

Dear Ones, 

Contentment In Sin 

Is 

The Lie That Costs The Gullible

The Misinformed

The Rebels Without A Cause

To Throw Away Their Purchased Lives 

With Living Like A Lost Coin

A Lost Sheep

And 

Like A Prodigal Hell-Bent On Proudly Going 

Where He Was Neither Called To Nor Sent! 

A Lost Coin Can't Find Itself! 

A Lost Sheep Is Going Without Knowing

And 

The Proud Prodigal Goes Boldly Into 

The "Heard Of That Great Unknown" 

And

Will Not Come To His Senses 

Until Willingness To Eat A Pig-Swill Sandwich 

Sharply Calls Him To Reason

And 

Desire For Better Urges Him To Go Home! 

Walk In The Will Of God 

And 

Desire Will Always Be For Better

The Best That Comes From The Hand Of God 

Which Cuts From Us Sin's Fetters

Which Brings To Us Contentment-In-Christ

Which We Gain From Daily Reading His Love Letter! 

Did You Read Your Bible Today!?! 

Peace!

Lies Cannot Change The Truth!

Despite What The Professional Liars In Hollywood

And The World Around Would Have Us Believe

There Is No One Day On Repeat

One Person Is Not Always The Underdog

Not Everybody Gets Rich

The Elitist Families Of This World Can't Buy Everything

White Is Not Might

Brown Is Not Down

Black Is Not Slack

The Rainbow Isn't A Gay Flag

And 

Love Isn't Love Nor An All-Powerful Chemical! 

Beloved, 

The Point To Ascertain Is That 

Loud-Mout' Man 

Does Not Get To Change Almighty God's Words

Laws, Times, Nor Orders! 

Just The Facts ... 

Morning Will Always Follow Evening! 

The Poor Will Be With Us Always!

The Covenant Rainbow Will Always Be Insignia 

To "Remind" The Lord 

Never To Again Destroy The Earth By A Flood

And 

Praying Will Always Lift Us Up To God! 

Dear Ones, 

Pretending That We Mortals 

Can Make Almighty God Fit On Our Customized Chess-Board 

Won't Make It So 

And

Telling People That Victory Over Sin Is Impossible 

Does Not Change It From Being A Requirement 

For The Saints Of God And Christ 

Or Make It Impossible To Achieve! 

The Word Of God Shall Stand Forever 

And

Our Obligation To Honor Christ Will Never Be Obviated 

Aka Removed, Rendered Unnecessary

Or Made A Waste Of Time! 

The Holy Spirit 

Is 

Almighty God's Only Representative On Earth 

And

As The Great School-Master

He, A Person, Will Lead Us-Willing Into All Truth! 

Man Cannot Be Trusted As All Of His Thoughts Are 

Only Evil Continually 

So Dare To Trust Jesus Christ ... Alone 

In And For All That Concerns You

Your Life

And 

Your Living! 

Peace!

 

Happiness Is To Know King Jesus!

What "Makes" You Happy!?! 

Are You Happy!?! 

If Something Or Someone Could Make You Happy

What Or Who Would It Be!?! 

Beloved, 

Unhappy People Don't Like Happy People! 

Angry People Don't Like Calm People! 

Proud People Don't Like Humble People

And

Sinners Don't Like Practicing Christians 

And Yet

All Claim To Be Happy In Their Present Condition: 

Who Is Right!?! 

NEWS FLASH: --

Happiness Via Acquiring Things 

And Using Things To Draw People To Your Side 

Is Not Happiness! 

Just Doing Things To Be Happy

Mouthing Affirmations To Feel Happy

And 

Doing Service Projects To Show That We Are Happy 

Cannot And Will Not Make Us Happy 

When All Of Our Outward Acts To Fill An Inward Need 

Are Stripped Away! 

Think About It ...

Could You ... An Innocent Person

Be "Happy" Locked Away In A Dank, Dismal, Dirty Dungeon 

When All Of Your Sayings, Doables, 

And 

Feelings Of Happiness 

Are Stripped Away!?! 

Dear Ones, 

There Is No True And Lasting Happiness 

And

Contentment 

Outside Of Or Without Being Contented In Christ 

Or Happy In Jesus! 

When Your Roof Flies Off

The Engine Drops Out Of Your Conveyance

And 

Your Withdrawals Ain't Got No Deposits 

But

You're Standing On The Promises Knowing That 

Almighty God Will Provide 

Because

You Have Decided To Follow Jesus ... No Turning Back

You Can Sleep On Rocks 

And 

Eat Grass

And 

Smile Peacefully 

Because 

Jesus Christ The King Has You Sheltered Under His Wings! 

Lashes, Lies, And Loss Have No Leverage 

Against One Who Lovingly Trusts 

The Lord Of Life, Our Creator! 

Wisdom Helps Us To Decide To Be Happy ... In Jesus!  

Peace!

Wicked People Earn Two Pay-Checks!

We Are Finite Creatures With Delusions Of Grandeur 

When We Walk Around With Malice, Envy, And Greed In Our Hearts 

Making Plans For People And Their Property! 

Beloved, 

Meet King Ahab And His Queen Jezebel! 

Could You Imagine 

A Powerful King So Weak As To Take To His Bed

Sucking His Thumb 

And 

Refusing His Din-Din 

Because 

He Wanted Another Man's God-Given, Law-Sealed, Property!?! 

Imagine Also 

His Dead-Conscience, Wicked, Idolatrous, Power-Mad Queen 

Who Believed That Title And Power Equalled 

Fulfilled Desire: Satisfaction Achieved 

Aka I'll Have You Killed And My Hubby Will Own Your Farm 

To Get A Few Eggs From Your Prize-Winning Chickens 

Since He Desires A Fluffy Omelette To Satisfy His Current "Hangry" Itch! 

Dear Ones, 

We May Hide And Buy Ground 

But 

We Can't Hide And Reap It! 

Pay-Back Aka Retributive Justice

Maybe From Man

And 

Definitely From The Living God

Is 

Always On Tap! 

Satan Has Poisoned This Earth 

With The Same Vile Spirit 

Which Caused His Dismissal From His Position 

As Lucifer-Light-Bearer! 

When We Plot To Get What Is Not Ours To Own

We Get To Own What Was Not Part Of Our Plot! 

Official Job:

Official Pay! 

Remember, Remember

Don't Ever Forget ...

Self-Employed Wicked Workers Decide Their Own Pay 

When By Sin 

And 

For Satisfaction 

They Gleefully Do Their "Pleasant Work!" For Free! 

Wicked People Earn Two Pay-Checks: 

What They Demand 

And

What The Lord Commands! 

Our Savior States His Saints' Soul-Satisfying Salary! 

Be A Saint: 

There Is A Limit To Sin! 

The Day Of Visitation Is On The Wing! 

Peace!

Produce Fruit Fit For The Kind King!

Be Ye Warned ...

Everything Created On This Earth 

Was Created To Serve Another ... Never Itself! 

Beloved, 

If You Were Created To Bear Fruit In Due Season

Do Not Fluff Up Your Leaves Like A Show-Bird-Peacock's Tail 

Signifying Your Productivity 

When You Are Nothing But A Male Tree

Barren Land, A Broken Cistern

A Dry Well

Or A Spring With Bitter Water! 

Our Master, The Dear Savior

Has Made It Abundantly Clear That 

Trees Which Do His Will And Bear Fruit 

Will Be Pruned To Bear More Fruit 

And

Trees Which Do Not Serve Their Purpose 

Will Not Be Permitted To Take Up Prime Real Estate: 

They Will Be Cut Down And Burnt! 

Dear Ones, 

Know Your Mission 

And

Live-Out Your Purpose 

To Stave Off Ruinous Blight 

And 

Never Experience Eternal Destruction's Dark Night! 

Remember That 

A Wretched And Repentant Sinner 

May Become A Working Saint And Live 

But

A Working Saint 

Who Becomes A Wretchedly-Unrepentant Sinner 

Shall Surely Die! 

Sinner Or Saint

We All Need Food 

But

It Is In Our Best Interests Not To Take "Sustenance" 

From Him Who Would Have Us Become Fools 

And 

Be His Cheaply-Bought

Totally Replaceable

Marked For Destruction

Hated From The Start Tools! 

Don't Listen To The Liar!

Dare To Grow Where You Are Planted 

And

Choose To Produce The Blessed Crop That 

Pleases Your Creator! 

Please Honor Jesus Christ, The Kind King: 

Bow To His Will And Willingly Serve Him! 

Peace!
