VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Let No One Deceive You!

Beware Of The Cushy, Comfortable, Can't Be Refused Pleasure! 

Dear Ones, 

We All Know That 

No Human Being Wants To Live On An Ant's Nest 

Or Cuddle Up Next To A Snake Pit! 

We Also Know That Not One Of Us Would 

Wide-Eyed, Willingly, Wantonly Allow Ourselves 

To Fall Into An Obvious Trap! 

Isn't It Obvious, Then, That 

The Adversary Of Our Souls

The Arch-Deceiver, Satan The Forever Damned

Will Not Entice Us To Sin 

By Setting Up A Mall With Signage Which Says: 

"Good Sins Inside! 

75% Discount For Doubters! 

BOGO Free For Christ's Faithful!?!" 

Beloved, 

We Are Called To Live By The Faith Which Works By Love 

And 

Purifies The Soul! 

When We Live By Our Daily Gift Of Faith For The Day 

Which We Receive From Our Dear Savior

And 

By That Faith 

- Which Does Not Work By Lying Eyesight - 

Ask The Lord For Discernment

We Will Neither Fall For The Lies 

Nor The Sophistries Of The Devil! 

The Lord Jesus Has Not Left Us To Swing In The Wind 

But 

Has Provided Us With The Infallible Word Of Truth 

As Our Guide To Daily Living 

Which Makes Us Fully Aware Of The Devil's Devices! 

Jesus Christ Warned: 

"Let No One Deceive You!" 

That's A Command

The Word Of Our King, The Judge

So Let's Honor Him 

And 

Bless Ourselves! 

Open The Book! 

Believe The Word! 

Live By Faith! 

Trust The Lord! 

Resist The Devil Who Is Already Trapped! 

Endure All Things For Jesus Christ's Sake

And

Be Blessed And Forever Saved! 

Peace! 

HAPPY SABBATH + Understanding Is The Gift Of Almighty God!

 

Beloved, 

Do You Know That There Is No Man Happy 

Without The Gift Of Almighty God!?! 

Throughout The Scriptures Of Truth

The Refrain Rings 

"Find Wisdom, Get Understanding! 

"Get Wisdom, Get Understanding!" 

And

"Lean Not On Your Own Understanding!" 

Shouldn't We Buy The Free Clue 

And 

Do As Our Heavenly Father Asks!?! 

To Wax Ridiculous

This Is Not About Being Under A Stand 

Nor Standing Under Some Lying Tenet Of The Damned Devil! 

Dear Ones, 

In Our Text At Study

We Find The Request 

"Grant Me Understanding According To Thy Word!" 

Because 

Worldly Understanding 

Is 

A Corrupted, Corrupting, Force And Influence 

Which Is Only Ever Counteracted 

By The Living, Holy, Eternal Word Of 

The All-Seeing, All-Knowing, Ever-Present God Of Grace 

Who Inhabits Glory 

And

Is Inviting Us-Willing To Join Him There At The Time Appointed! 

Beloved, 

Let Us Remove Our Brains From Park 

By Allowing Wisdom

- The Gift Of God - 

To Engage Our Understanding 

So That We Are Not Deceived 

By Those Who Are The Adversaries Of Our Purchased Souls! 

Please, I Beseech Us All

Do Not Be Callous-Minded, Careless, Nor Conceited! 

Please Be A Humble Child Of The Father 

And 

Accept That His Word

His Will

His Ways

And 

His Wisdom 

Are Good And Perfect Gifts That 

Elevate Our Understanding 

Which Is A Cure That Strengthens Our Core For Christ! 

Peace!

Desire For The Delights Of The Divine!

 

The Mind Of Truth 

Is 

Jesus Christ The Lord Our God

Who Became Flesh 

And 

Dwelt Among Us! 

The Mine Of Truth 

Is 

The Living, Holy Word Of God 

Where No One Needs A Government License To Set Up Shop

Nor Expensive Equipment

Nor Human Capital Save The Willing Self 

To Extract Its Infinite Riches! 

Beloved, 

We Are The Called And Empowered Miners Of The Truth! 

We Are Made In The Image Of The Holy God 

And As Such 

We Are Each Endowed With A Mind That Is Useful 

And 

Is A Terrible Thing To Waste! 

Dear Ones, 

As Seekers After The Truth

We Are Instructed To Search The Word Of God 

As If We Are Seeking After Hidden Treasure: 

We Are! 

We Must Exercise Our Free-Will 

And 

Our Freedom To Choose

And

Our Desire For The Delights Of The Divine 

To Pray ... In Faith 

And

Ask Our God And Our King To Help Us 

- By His Very Own Sweet Spirit Of Truth 

Who Will Lead Us Into All Truth - 

To Guide Our Minds In The Way That Matters 

So That Our Treasure-Hunt Will Always Yield A Grain Or A Gram 

Because 

We Are In The Vein That Leads To The Mother-Lode 

Which Is The Father's House

The Holy City

The Store-House Of The Everlasting Goodness Of The Eternal God! 

The Word Of God 

Is 

Necessary Food 

So Get Out Your Fork And Your Spoon 

And 

Proceed To Be Fed And Filled 

Knowing That You Will Always Have Room For More! 

Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: If Not You, Who!?!

 

As Ambassadors For Christ

We Have A Message To Tell To The Nations! 

When Are We Going To Tell It!?! 

If Not Now, When!?! 

Who Is Going To Tell It!?! 

If Not You, Who

And

If Not Here, Where!?! 

Simple Questions! 

How Will You Answer!?! 

Think About It ...

Before You Can Deliver The Message

You Should Personally Know The Sender! 

Before You Can Be An Effective And Efficient Messenger

You Have To Grow In Grace And Faith! 

Before You Can Go On Your Journey

You Must Show And Be Sure That 

The Message That You Are Delivering 

Is 

Undiluted, Uncolored, And Unspun! 

Dear Ones, 

There Are Many Who Say That 

They Are Stewards, Servants, For The Sender

- Our Savior -

But 

In The Day Of Accounts 

Their Service Will Be Found To Have Been Corrupted 

And 

Their Reward Will Not Be The Choice One Desired! 

Please, I Beseech Us All

Don't Be A Deceitful Bow! 

Be True And Forth-Right! 

Be Good Stewards

Be Faithful Servants

And 

Be Honest Students Of The Good Book 

Giving The Straight Testimony 

So That Your Work Reaps A Harvest For Our Lord The King

And 

You Are Blessed And Eternally Saved! 

Let's Go Out

Lead Out

And 

Speak Out With Love For Our Lord And Our God! 

Peace! 

HAPPY SABBATH: Which God Is Your Benefactor!?!

No Matter What Satan Is   Promising You To Trust Him 

And 

Doubt Almighty God

Stop Working For That Devil For Feed, Free, Or Fee 

Because 

It Will Not Profit, Now Or Ever! 

At Any Given Moment

On Any Given Day

Each And Every One Of Us Supposedly ... Allegedly

Receives A Gift From God! 

The Problem 

Is 

To Know Which God Is Your Benefactor! 

Beloved, 

The Living Word Tells Us That 

Every Good And Perfect Gift 

Comes From The Father Of Lights 

Whose Gifts Lead  The Believing, Enduring, Saints 

To Everlasting Life! 

The False God, Satan

The Lord Of Dung

The Father Of Lies

Gives "Gifts"  Sure To Lead To Damnation

To Eternal Separation From The God Of Glory

The King Of Love

The Lord Of Life! 

Dear Ones, 

We Live In The Days Of Deceit, Deviltry, Delusion

And 

Deliberate Destruction

And 

Anyone Who Chooses To Accept The Liar's Time-Bound "Gifts" 

Which Cannot Cross The Separating Line To Enter Eternity 

Is 

Doing Fair-Promise Work For The  Damned Snake 

Who Is Our Adversary And Accuser

And 

Whose Crushed Head And Vile Presence 

Will Soon Be Eternally Obliterated! 

Let's Not Waste Our Time With What-Ifs And Maybes: 

They Won't Bear Peaceable Fruit! 

Let's Get On The Son's Side Of Life 

Where Faith, Endurance, And Obedience Repose

And

Wing Our Way Through Grace And Mercy To Glory 

To Enter The Holy City ... By Right ... At The Appointed Time!  

Desire The Deliverer, Jesus Christ The Lord

And 

The Delights Of Heavenly Love! 

Hold The Living God In Awe! 

Peace!

Jesus Christ's Costs Infinitely Profits Us!

Beloved, 

Pray Without Ceasing! 

The God Whom We Serve 

Is 

The Holy God Who Cannot Lie 

Or Stretch Truth 

Or Make Truth Turn Corners 

Because 

Such Dank Doings Are Not A Part Of His Character! 

He Is The God Of Grace! 

I Quite Like The Expression Which Accrues To Our Eternal Benefit: 

We Receive God's Riches At Christ's Expense! 

We Are Blessed! 

Christ's Costs Infinitely Profits Us! 

Dear Ones, 

The Fairy Tale Says: 

New Lamps For Old! 

Don't Believe The Hype: 

Stick With The Historical Faith Tried, True

Tested, Approved, And Proven! 

The Lamp That The Adversary Wants Us To Exchange 

Is 

The Lamp Of The Eternal Word Of Truth Of Almighty God 

Which Gives Us Living Light To Walk In The Ways Of Righteousness! 

The Way Of Right Living Requires Unceasing Prayer: 

It Is Armor! 

The Prayer Of Faith 

In The God Who Says To Pray With Trust, Faith

Is 

Comfort 

Because 

It Is To The Living God 

Who Cares For You, Personally ...  Intimately ... Sacrificially! 

We Are To Seek Almighty God To Find Him! 

We Are To Let Our Requests Be Made Known 

To Him Who Can Fulfill Them! 

We Are To Knock At The Throne Of Grace 

With Intention And Endurance! 

If Your Request Is For Your Good 

And 

For Almighty God's Glory: 

Palms Up! 

Beloved, 

Almighty God's Will Blesses! 

Almighty God's Grace Cures 

And

Our Enduring Faith In Our Dear Savior Jesus 

Opens Wide Heaven's Stores! 

Vigorously Use Your Invitation 

And 

Access Received Through Our Lord Jesus Christ! 

Peace!

Happy New Year 2023 ... In The Lord Jesus Christ's Holy Care!

Have You Ever Considered Why The Lord Stipulated 

The Body And The Body Parts  Mentioned In Deuteronomy 19:21 

And 

What It Means To Us Today!?! 

Life ... For Life! 

Eye ... For Eye! 

Tooth ... For Tooth! 

Hand... For Hand! 

Foot ... For Foot! 

Beloved, 

Let's See!

No Life ... You're Dead 

And 

Dead Men Have No Hope! 

If You Take Someone's Life

You Rob That Dear Someone Of Hope

Of A Future Better State! 

Let's Not Talk About Fate! 

That Person Was A Fatality! 

You Take One Eye And You Unbalance A Person: 

Two Eyes Make Your Circle Of Sight Complete! 

Having Only One Eye Gives A Person A Blind Spot 

And 

They Are Therefore Hindered In Their Walk! 

If You Take A Man's Front Tooth Without Permission ... By Force

You Put A Gap In His Smile

A Lisp In His Speech

And 

A Pain In His Mouth

And 

You Hinder Him In His Eats

And 

You Make Him Self-Conscious, A Spectacle

And 

In The Prize For Appearance

You've Got Him Well And Truly Beat! 

You Take A Man's Hand: 

How Much Work Can He Do!?! 

You Take A Man's Leg: 

In A Battle For Life, What Help Can He Give!?! 

Dear Ones, 

That Is The Minute! 

Now Let's See The Picture Grand!

A Man With These Physical Defects Would Not Be Able 

Before The Lord In Service In The Sanctuary To Stand! 

Remember!

Without Spot! 

Without Blemish! 

On The Other Side

It Is Better To Be Blind And Saved Into The Living Kingdom! 

Your Eye Guides You In Your Direction 

So If You Have A Wayward Eye

It Is Better To Do Away With It 

And 

Be Saved And Blessed

Than To Be Wayward 

And 

Be Eternally Lost! 

It Is Also Better To Lack A Hand Or Foot 

And 

Be Saved Into The Living Kingdom! 

Brethren Beloved,

Your Hand Touches The Thing That Tempts 

Or 

Throws Away All That Would The Body Temple Defile! 

Your Feet Take You ... Away To Sin And Away From Good 

Or

To The Kingdom Of The Blessed 

As You Choose To Do The Good And Right! 

We Each Have Eyes, Ears

A Nose, A Mouth, A Heart

Hands And Feet

And 

A Brain To Make It All Go

So Please Listen To Me I Beg, Plead, And Beseech

And 

Make Your Calling And Election Sure:

Unsanctified Bodies 

Shall Not To Holy Heaven Go! 

Walk Holy, Wise, And Undefiled! 

Peace! 

 

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: There Will Always Be Change!

Old Year, New Year, We Do It Time And Again! 

The One Thing That Is Constant Is That 

There Will Always Be Change! 

There Is No Recycle, Rinse, And Reuse 

Because 

The Changing Scenes Of Life In Time Are Inevitable

And That, Beloved

Is The Great Good News! 

Brethren Beloved, 

The Lord Of Life Is Soon Coming 

And 

Of This We Are Assured! 

We Don't Know The Day Or The Hour 

So Into A False Sense Of Security 

Please Do Not Be Foolishly Lured! 

We Have A Work To Do For Our Master

And 

A Work To Do On Our Selves

So Let Us Be About Our Business 

And 

Not Be Drooling About The Merchants' Store Shelves! 

Open The Good Book 

And 

Continue To Work On Character-Building 

And 

Give The Adversary No Chance Upon Our Names 

In Satanic Revelry To Go A-Prancing! 

The Savior Is Waiting For Us 

To Moment By Moment Answer His Salvation Call 

So That We May Wash Away Forever 

The Stench And Stain Of Adam's Fall! 

Dear Ones, 

We Are Loved With An Everlasting Love 

So Let Us Align Our Future With The Lord Of Love 

So That Our Living Estate Will Be 

Our Hand In The Hand Of Him Who Alone Can Take Us 

To The Glorious Courts In Heaven Above! 

Be Faithful! 

Be Obedient! 

Be Enduring! 

Be Blessed

And 

Be At Peace 

In, For, And With Almighty God's Unfailing Love! 

REJOICE: We Are Because Jesus Christ Is!

Beloved, 

We Are Free To Say Our Prayers To Our Father In Heaven

In The Name Of Jesus Christ Our Lord

Reminding Him Of What He Has Said That 

He Will Do For Us ... Individually! 

We Rejoice 

Because 

The Lord Is King! 

We Have Hope 

Because 

The Lord Is Our Savior! 

We Are Comforted 

Because 

The Lord By His Holy Spirit

Is 

Our Teacher And Comforter! 

We Believe The Word Of God To Us 

Because 

His Word Is The Truth Immovable! 

Dear Ones, 

The Word Of God To Us 

Is 

Love Which Gives Life

And 

Our Free-Will Word To The Lord

Using His Word Which Is Also A Lamp Unto Our Feet 

And 

A Light Unto Our Path Should Be 

"Yes, Lord!

So Let It Be!"

Dear Ones, 

Fables Abound 

But

The Stories Of Our Lord Jesus Christ 

Will Never, Should Never, Be Listed Among Them 

Because

Without Jesus Christ The Lord Of Life

There Is No Life Of Man! 

We Are Because He Is! 

Let Us Give Thanks And Praise Unto Our God 

For His Goodness Toward The Children Of Men! 

We Are Truly Blessed! 

Let Us Rejoice 

And 

Live Like We Really Believe The Word! 

Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Open Our Eyes, Lord!

Beauty Is Within The Eye Of The Beholder!

The Eye Is The Window Of The Soul

And 

The Window Opens And Closes! 

The Window Opens To Receive Messages

And 

Closes To Reject Messages! 

Beloved, 

It Stands To Clear Reason That 

The Messages Are Going Somewhere

And 

As A Result Of Known Storing

The Heart Of The Living Soul 

Sends Messages Around And About 

To The Father, The Son, And Holy Ghost

To Holy Angels, To Men

And 

To Fallen Angels Bold! 

We Send Messages For Good Or For Ill

Messages To Draw Near

Messages To Repel

Messages For The Soul To Keep

Messages From Friends To Retreat

Messages To Grate

Messages To Gratify

Messages Of Hate

Messages Suitable For A Child's Lullaby

Messages With Weight

Messages Of The Sweet By And By

Messages That Taint

Messages That Say Heaven Is Click-Bait

Messages Of Truth And Right

Messages That God-Defy

Messages That Make The Savior Cry

Messages That Render Hope A Lie

Messages That Exalt The Liar

And 

Messages That Tell The Sinner Beware: 

That Act Will Land You In Consuming Fire! 

Dear Ones, 

What Messages Are You Sending Through Your Diet Of Beholding!?! 

Will Your Eyes Behold Our Returning Savior In Peace

Or

Will Your Message Cause Another 

To Consider The Love Of Our Holy God The Least!?! 

Are You Changing For The Good!?! 

Are You Encouraging Another To The Right!?! 

Are You Blessing The Lamb Or The Liar!?! 

Are You, And By Your Living, Climbing

And 

Encouraging Others To Reach Heights Higher And Higher!?!

Are You Beholding The Precious Lamb Of God

The Prince Of Peace

The Good Shepherd Of Rest, Life, And Living 

Who Does The Body Good

And 

Keeps Us Body And Soul From Entering The Lake 

Burning With Brimstone And Fire!?! 

Whatcha Lookin' At!?! 

Who Is Watching You!?! 

Are You Watching And Working

Or Are You Twerking To The Burning!?! 

Beloved, 

Our Lord Jesus Christ Is Seeing You! 

Will You See Your Personal Record With Joy

Or Will That Record 

Cause What Should Be Your Day Of Joy And Gladness 

To Be Destroyed!?! 

Warning ...

Be Careful Little Eyes What You See 

So That The Signals That You Send 

Do Not Corrupt Your Soul

And 

Snowball In Your Heart

And 

Cause Your Eyes Wide

Heart Cold

Hope Lost

Faith Failed

To Staunchly, Deftly, Corrupt Others! 

Remember, Remember

Don't Ever Forget ... 

You May Look At Self And Sin

And 

Like Satan Become A Sinner

Or 

You May Look At The Savior Offering Salvation 

And 

Satisfy Your Hungering Soul

And 

Become A Saved Saint! 

Dear Ones, 

The Choice, As Always, Is Yours ... Alone! 

Choose Wisely! 

Peace!

Do Good!

Be Good!

Fear God!

Fare Well! 

HAPPY SABBATH + Be Transformed ... By Truth!

 

I Stand Before You A Sinner ... Reformed

A Liar ... Transformed

A Sinner Turned Saint Of God

A Child Reborn! 

Beloved, 

Please Do Not Allow Yourself To Be Fooled! 

All Men Are Liars ... There Is No Dispute

For That Is The Word Of Almighty God

Shiloh - Prince Of Peace

The Light Of Life

The Way To The Father's House

The Living, Holy, Unchanging, Unchangeable Truth! 

Dear Ones, 

We Are Man, Mortal, Malleable, Movable

Miserable, Misguided ... Sad Truth 

But

In The Hands Of The Great Physician

The God Of Grace

The King Of Glory

We Make Peace With Almighty God 

And Then Our Fellowman

And

Walk Wisely In, For, And With Saving Truth

To Enter The Holy Land! 

Beloved, 

Truth Is! 

Truth Is Transformative! 

We, You And I, Are Transformable

So Let Your Mind, By Holy, Saving, Truth

Be Daily Renewed! 

Let The  Holy Spirit Lead So That 

You May Enduringly Stand Up For Christ Jesus With Zeal

And Thereafter

In The Appointed Hour

By The Holy Spirit Of Truth

- Who Leads Us Into All Truth - 

Be Eternally Sealed! 

Moment By Moment Aggressively Use 

Your Daily Gift Of Faith In Almighty God! 

Peace!

Study The Truth ... To Know The Truth!

 

Should We Study Satan To Understand Our Savior's Love For Us 

Or

Do We Study Our Savior To Understand Why 

We Need To Avoid The Works Of The Devil!?! 

Shouldn't We Study The Savior Aka The Plain Truth 

To Know How To Recognize And Escape From Satan 

Aka The Liar And His Lies!?? 

Beloved, 

In The World Of Banking

You Would Never, Ever, Study A Counterfeit Bank Note 

To Be Able To Recognize A Real Bank Note! 

Even The Counterfeiters Know To Intimately Study 

The Real Bank Note 

To Be Able To Produce A "Real" Aka Realistic Fake! 

Dear Ones, 

The Question To Ask Is If Liars Learn Truth 

To Be Able To Tell "Believable" Lies That Still Fail

Why Would We ... As Practicing Christ-Followers

Not Choose To Study The Real Jesus, Our Only Savior

To Become Like The Real Jesus As He, Himself, Calls Us To Be 

- Which Cannot Fail -

If We Are Faithfully, Enduringly, Diligent!?! 

We Are Instructed To Study To Show Ourselves Approved

To Be Workmen That Do Not Need To Be Ashamed! 

Do You Know Of Any Working Watchmen In The Carnal World 

Who Got Promoted, Or Rewarded  

For Letting Competitors Or Detractors Into Their Corporation's 

Top Secret Research And Development Department

Storehouses, Manufacturing Facilities, Or Proving Grounds!?! 

The Answer Is A Hard "NO!" 

Likewise, In The Lord's Kingdom

No One Gets Inside The Gates Of Pearl 

Who Does Not Personally, Intimately, Know The Good Shepherd

The King Of Love ... Our Blessed Hope! 

Remember, Dear Ones, That 

We Live In The Last Days

- The Days Of Transformers -

And Must Know The Lord Jesus

The True, Real, Only, Light Of The World

Who Is The Same Yesterday, Today, And Forever! 

Be Wise For Your Own Self! 

Peace!
