HAPPY SABBATH + Good Is Good As Long As It Stays Good!

It's Absolutely Mind-Bogglingly Amazing! 

You, Me, We Have A Reputation For Let's Say

Being Punctual To Work

On Time To Complete Assignments

And 

Ever On Task Aka No Tomfoolery Indulged! 

With This Solidly Intact Reputation

You, Me, We Decide That We Are Going To Do Some "Things" 

And 

Get Away With Them 

Because

Well, The Reputation Speaks For Itself 

And 

Wrong-Doing Ain't Your Way

Until You Get Caught And Fuzzed Out Like A Cheap Carpet! 

Now Picture, If You Will

The Committed To Christ, Psalm-Singing, Tithe-Returning

Righteous Person 

Whose Once Stellar Reputation Gives Way To A Stink-Ball Of 

Almighty God Knows Me 

Because 

I'm His Person No Matter What I Do Self-Righteousness 

Which, Most Definitely, Is Not The Righteousness Of Our Lord Christ! 

Beloved, 

The Lord Does Not Stutter

Does Not Take Bribes

And 

Does Not Play Favorites! 

Good Is Good As Long As It Stays Good! 

Good Turned Bad 

And 

Relying On Yesterday's Good To Earn Tomorrow's Paycheck 

Is Not Going To Fly You To Glory! 

Remember The Old Adage ...

"Good, Better, Best

Never Let It Rest

Till The Good Is Better

And The Better Best!" 

Please Stay On The Path That Is Lit By The Living, Holy, Word Of Truth 

And 

Do Not Permit The Adversary Of Souls To Convince You That 

Receiving His Fool's Gold "Participation Trophy" 

Is 

As Good As Receiving The Crown Of Life From The Lord Of Life

The King Of Earth And Glory! 

Stay On The Son's Side Of Life 

And 

Be Enduringly Good To The End ... By Grace Through Unfailing Faith! 

Peace! 

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: There Is Infinite Wisdom In Salvation!

There Is No Wisdom Outside Of The Savior 

And 

There Is No Salvation In Sin! 

There Is No Hope Outside Of The Helper 

And 

There Is No Blessing Falling Upon Team Goat! 

How Often Are Tears Falling When We Decide That 

We Know More Than The Lord Our God

When We Decide That Worldly Wisdom Is Heavenly 

And 

Heavenly Wisdom Is Not Worthy Of Assent's Nod!?! 

Beloved, 

It Is Time To Awaken From Sleep! 

It Is Time To Strengthen The Weak Knees! 

It Is Time To Hold High The "Thus Saith The Lord!" 

And 

All Things Despoiling To Boldly Deny! 

Our Blessed Jesus Saves 

Even As Accursed Satan Does Rage 

So Step Away From Sin And Sinning 

And 

Do Not With The Eternally-Damned One Engage! 

Remember Lot's Wife: 

Don't Despise Your Blessing! 

Remember Eve, The Mother Of All Living! 

Talking Serpents Are A Lie 

And 

They Can't But Lie! 

Remember Achan! 

There Is Never A Goodly Babylonish Garment

And 

Stolen Riches, Though Hidden, No Man Will Keep! 

Jesus Christ Saves! 

Please Have This Wisdom Running In Your Heart 

And 

On Permanent Repeat! 

Peace! 

HAPPY SABBATH + Gain The Whole World!?!

If You Knew Without A Doubt That Pursuing And Achieving Worldly Success 

Would Cause You To Forget Almighty God And Goodness

Would You Go After Worldly Success!?! 

If You Knew That Depending On The Lord Christ For Every Need Of 

This Short And Eventful Life 

Would Surely See You Saved At The Last Trumpet's Call

Would You Choose To Live On The Love Of The Glorious God 

Or Would You Opt For The Liberty Of License 

And 

Do Whatever You Want To 

Because 

You Have Free-Will  ... And Freedom To Choose!?! 

Choices And Chances

Graces And Paces!

Beloved, 

How Will You Stand In The Presence Of The Judge Of All Flesh

- The King Of Every Human -

In The Appointed Hour!?! 

Dear Ones, 

Look To Jesus Christ And Live 

Is 

The Command Of Almighty God To Fallen, Finite Man!

Despising Everlasting Gifts To Enjoy Pea-Soup That 

Disappears At The Potty Bar 

Is 

Not A Decision To Be Taken Lightly ... Or At All! 

The Question Needs To Be Honestly Answered: 

"What Does It Profit A Man

To Gain The Whole World

And

Lose His Own Soul!?!" 

Have You Got The Answer!?! 

Please, Right Now, Today, Talk To The Lord Jesus

The Word Who Gives The Words Of Life: 

You Have Eternal Life To Gain! 

Peace!

Know Your Value ... in Jesus Christ!

Our Value To The Eternal God 

Is Not Set On The Double-Booked Balance Sheet 

Or The Lying Scales Of Fallen, Finite Man 

Who, Himself, Is Weighed On The Balances Of Almighty God 

And 

Is Found Wanting! 

Beloved, 

Believe The Scriptures Of Truth! 

He Who Made You In His Own Image 

Knows How Much You Are Truly Worth! 

He Who Allowed His Own Innocent Blood To Be Spilt To Save You

And 

Redeem You From Sin, Self, Death, The Grave, And Hell

Knows What Your Life Cost Him 

And

He Expects Us All To See Our Value 

Through His Holy, Eternal, And Undefiled Eyes! 

Dear Ones, 

The Adversary Of Our Souls

Aka The Adversary Of The Holy One

Would Have Us To Doubt Our God And Our King 

And 

Believe The Word Of Himself Aka The Damned One

- The Father Of Lies - 

That We Are But Disposable Units 

Easy To Use Up And To Be Turned Into Refuse

And

Ultimately To Be Placed on The Garbage Dump

The Burn Pile Of The Universe

To Be Lit Afire On The Day That 

Not Even He, Himself, Has Prior Knowledge! 

Know It All

Knows Nothing At All ... 

So Much For Knowing What One Is Worth 

When One Didn't Keep Their Personal Place In The Living Kingdom 

Because 

They Thought Too Highly Of Themselves 

And 

Not Of The Value That Their Creator Had Placed Upon Them! 

You Are Redeemed ... 

Please Look To The Everlasting King Whose Scars 

- Head, Side, Hands, And Feet - 

Will Forever Publish Your Price

His Cost

Your Value! 

Please Turn Away From Team Goat: 

Today's Money Is No Longer Called Groat

And

Salvation Is Not A Float! 

Jesus Christ Elevates! 

Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Lift Up To Push Out!?! + Prayer

 

Nothing Has Changed For The Better! 

Wicked Men Wax Worse And Worse 

So  Stop With The Self-Promotion 

And 

Wait For Someone To Promote You! 

And

Just Because Someone Is Promoting You

It Does Not Mean That They Love You, Or Your Work Ethic

Or Your Devotion To The Lord

Or Are Desirous Of Your Righteous Upliftment! 

Beloved, 

Never, Ever, Forget That Corporate Boondoggle Called 

Lift Up To Push Out 

Or Elevate To Dessicate 

Which Does Yoeman Service In The World 

And

Sadly, In The Church! 

Dear Ones, 

Satan Is The World's Biggest, Most Adept Promoter! 

He Does Not Have Any Affection For Anyone Born Of A Woman

Beloved Of The Lord Jesus Christ

And 

Bound For Glory! 

Why, Then, Are The Young And The Old

Men And Women 

Boys And Girls

And

Preachers And Parishioners 

Accepting Poison-Apple "Gifts" From The Enemy Of Souls

The Arch-Deceiver, The Wannabe God 

As Though It Is From The Holy God!?! 

Not Everyone Who Wears White And Displays Light 

Are Holy And Clean, Good And True

And 

Not Everyone Who Is Covered In Dirt Is Dirty And Destructive! 

Let Us Conscientiously ... Diligently

Pray For The Spiritual Gift Of Discernment 

And

For The Blessed Lord's Pure Wisdom 

- Which We Are Commanded To Ask For 

When We See Our lack Thereof - 

To Be Our Companion Until Christ Comes Or Death Parts Us! 

Look Up To The King Of Love Right Now!

Peace!

 

PRAYER:

Lord, 

Please Take The Starry Wonder Of And For The World

Out Of Our Heads, Hearts, And Eyes

And

Help Us To Hunger After You

And

The Things Of Almighty God

Now, Today, And Always! 

AMEN! 

 

HAPPY SABBATH + Almighty God's Gifts: "Yes, Lord, I Will Taste And See!"

Beloved, 

We Seriously Need To Wake Up And Smell The Fragrance Du Jour 

Which Causes Our Eyes To Open Wide! 

What Is A Gift!?! 

When A Gift Is Given To You By Your Grand-Parent The Queen 

And 

She Subsequently Dies

Does Her Successor As Family Head Known King 

Have The Right, The Authority

To Evict From Your Personal Property 

And 

"Give" It To Their Own Sibling 

Known Despised With Just Cause!?! 

Brethren, 

Love The Lord Jesus

The True And Faithful King! 

We Serve The Creator-God

The Redeemer-Friend

The Savior-King

The Judge Of All Flesh

Our Only Hope For Glory

And 

He Is Not An Indian-Giver! 

All Of Our Gifts Received From Our God And King Known Holy 

Are Our Own 

To Use Or Misuse, Neglect, Or Reject! 

The Lord Jesus Has Given Unto Us The Gifts Of 

Faith, Truth, Love, Speech

Wisdom, Understanding

Music, Salvation, Justification, And Sanctification

To Name A Few! 

Does The Loving Lord Take These Gifts Away From Us 

When We Offend Him 

By The Exercise Of Our Also Gifted Free Will 

And 

Our Freedom To Choose

And 

Give Them Away To Others 

Who Have More Grossly Offended His Holiness 

Just To Throw His Weight Around 

And 

To Prove Who Is Boss!?! 

Dear Ones, 

Thank Almighty God For His Being Faithful 

And 

For His Invariable Nature

His Steadfast Love

And 

His Constancy And Consistency! 

Remember This ... 

Every Good And Perfect Gift That 

The True And Living Holy God Freely Gives To Us

Satan The Damned Aka The Wannable God

Has A Notable Counterfeit! 

Nothing In This World Happens Because Of Coincidence! 

Read The Signs Of The Times 

Through The Clear And Perfect Lens Of The Holy Scriptures 

And 

Learn Humble Lessons 

Which Testify Of Our Lord's Goodness Which Profits Us Eternally! 

Rejoice And Be Glad That The Lord Jesus Christ 

Is 

The One True King, Faithful, Gracious, Merciful, And Kind 

Whose Word, Character, And Works Are One! 

Let The Things Of This World Stay With The Worldly-Wise! 

Seek After The Things Of Almighty God Who Promises Us

In The Shed Innocent Blood

The Sure And Secure Expected End! 

Trust In The Lord Always! 

Peace!

Walk Worthy Of Your High Calling To The Glorious Kingdom!

 

Dare To Be Kind! 

Valiantly Choose To Be Loving! 

You Are Freely Given Everything From The Lord 

So Gratefully Give A Lil' Something To Somebody 

Just Because You Want To And Can! 

You Have Been Forgiven Much By The Lord 

So Generously Be Forgiving! 

Be Faithful Until Death: 

The Life-Giver Will Awaken You! 

Be Hopeful All Day Every Day! 

Bless The Holy God Who Infinitely Blesses You! 

Humbly, Gladly, Give Praise To The Lord 

Because 

He Deserves It! 

Praise Is What We Do!

Bless Yourself By Praying To The Almighty God 

Who Desires Communion And Communication With You 

Because 

Of Heavenly Love! 

Walk Worthy Of Your High Calling To The Glorious Kingdom! 

Endure All Things For The Lord Jesus 

Who Endured All Things To Gain For You 

The Right To Become A Son, A Daughter, Of Our Father God, The Almighty

And 

To Sit At The Table At The Feast For The Forever Blessed ... By Right! 

Beloved, 

Almighty God's Love ... Jesus Christ The Lord

Is 

Our Own For The Taking! 

Open Your Arms And Freely Enjoy The One Gift That 

All The Wealth Of The World 

Is 

Not Enough To Initiate The Sale 

Or Finalize The Purchase! 

Sing "Hallelujah!" 

Our God Is Good And Faithful! 

Amen! 

Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: We Are Not Alone! Thank You, Lord Jesus!

Why Would We, As Committed To Christ Christians, Go To Our God

The Living Holy God

The Creator-God

And 

Ask Him To Chase Down, Arrest, And Destroy The Storms In Our Lives 

When They Are Permanent Subjects Of 

And 

Entirely Answerable To Him Always!?! 

Aren't They  Always In His Sight And Ever In His Presence!?! 

Beloved, 

Do You Believe, Honor, Trust, Worship, And Obey The Lord 

Or

Do You Disparage, Doubt, Disbelieve, And Disclaim The Lord!?! 

Hint, Hint ... 

We Cannot Straddle The Fence 

And 

Believe  ... And Doubt

And 

Honor  ... And Disparage The Lord! 

Remember, Remember

Don't Ever Forget ...

We Cannot Get Sweet Water ... And Bitter Water 

From The Same Source! 

Dear Ones, 

Being A Christian Is Both Simple And Profound: 

Accept The Gift

Take Your Position

And 

Hold The Line 

Because

The Life Lived For And In And With The Lord Christ 

Cannot Fail! 

The Storm That The Lord Brings You To 

Is

The Storm That By Your Exercised Faith In Him

In His Word

And 

Through His Love For You

He Will Successfully Carry You Through! 

Beloved, 

The Lord Is Not A Loser 

And 

His Love Can't Lie: 

Abide In The Lord Of Life 

And

Live Your Life For The Lord 

So That You Will Enjoy Eternal Life With The Lord! 

Take This To Heart ...

Storms Always Die 

And

Our Savior Ever Lives! 

Peace! 

HAPPY SABBATH + The Position Of Strength!

Iffy, Sniffy, And Since Belonged To The Same Family! 

Even Though They Had Been Brought Up 

With The Same Rights And Privileges, Opportunities, And Access

Their Chosen Paths To Glory Were Divergent! 

Iffy Had Aligned Himself With Heel-Biter

That Snake In The Grass Who Unapologetically, Unashamedly

And 

Unafraid To Break Voice 

Silkily Demanded That Savior Dear Prove That 

He Was His Father's Child! 

Sniffy, Now, With The Parfumer's Nose 

And 

The Delicate Skin Of Princess And Pea Fame

Put Doubting Thomas To Rout 

By Baselessly Elevating Her Level Of Doubt Over Divine Dignities 

Even Though The Truth Bit Her On Her Perky Perfectly Positioned 

Current-Direction Indicator Smell-All Pointer: 

Hail The Nose! 

Since Since Is A Saint Of God And Christ 

- Forgiven And Cleansed -

Who Stands Sincerely, Safely, And Securely On The Word That Works 

And 

Tells Of The Faith In Christ That Cannot Fail

You Should Know That 

He Is Treated Like A Plague Rat By His Brethren 

But 

Is Blessed And Beloved By His God: 

Jesus Reigns And Rules In His Life! 

Dear Ones, 

Understand This: 

The Lord

Doesn't Save Families

Groups

Cliques

Nor Societies!

 

The Lord Saves Individuals As A Result Of 

Their Desire For Him

Their Journey To Him

And 

Their Walk With Him! 

Exercised Faith

Willing Obedience

And 

Patient Endurance 

Will See Individuals Wearing The Crown Of Life 

From Jesus Christ ... The Lord Of Life! 

Who Are You!?! 

Trust In God! 

How Are You!?! 

Guard Your Heart! 

Keep The Holy Faith! 

Jesus Christ The King Of Earth And Glory 

Is 

Soon Coming Again! 

Peace!

AMAZING WORDS: Who Can You Turn On!?!

Words Are Amazing! 

Look At This ...

Who Can You Turn On!?! 

This Sentence Has Multiple Meanings 

And

Depending On Context, Occasion, Or Association

We Will Know How To Behave! 

Let's Set Aside The Sensual 

And 

Look At The Anger Caused By Betrayal! 

What Is Your Response When You Feel Betrayed!?! 

Is Your Response Christian Or Criminal!?! 

Moving Along Briskly, Please Consider 

Who Can You Turn On ... To The Lord Jesus, Our Savior And King!?! 

Dear Ones, 

Have You Considered That The Lord God Almighty

In The Person Of Our Blessed Jesus Christ 

Is 

Worthy Of Our Excited Proclamation Of His Goodness And Grace 

Because 

He ... Being Love And Light

Only Ever Commands Us To Do What Is Right 

And

Always Ever Makes Promises To Us Of What Is True!?! 

Do You Know That Doubting And Distrusting The Lord 

Is 

Unbelief And Disobedience!?! 

Since The Lord Is True ... And The Truth

And 

His Word Is The Truth

Our Having The Double-Mindedness Of The Doubter 

Who Is Unstable In All His Ways 

Is 

Causing Us To Tread On Dangerous Ground 

And

We Are Become As Satan

As Adversaries Of The Living Holy God

As Betrayers Of Truth And Righteousness! 

In This View, We Are As Deceitful Bows

Which Look Right And Pull Left! 

Words Are Amazingly Powerful! 

How Are You Using Your Words!?! 

Who Benefits When Your Mouth Opens And A Story Jumps Out!?! 

Words Work And Words War! 

Please War Against Sin 

And 

Work As An Ambassador For Christ Today! 

Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: The Sharp Turn Around!

One-Eighty And Three-Sixty Were Running Through The Town! 

Repentance Took One-Eighty And

Three-Sixty Valiantly Tried To Get Repentance 

To Do A Hard Rebound!

Three-Sixty Loved Anything Circular!

He Loved Anything Fat And Round

But 

He Sincerely Hated That One-Eighty 

Who Had A Knack For Making All Sinners With Repentance

Do A Sharp Turn-Around! 

Three-Sixty Loved The Status Quo! 

He Loved No Need To Change! 

He Worked For Beelzebub, That Dragon

Who Loved To Keep Born Sinners In Locked And Heavy Chains! 

You May Well Ask Yourself The Question:

One-Eighty Or Three-Sixty, Who Cares!?! 

So Let Me Tell Me You What Love-Dove Peace Told Me 

And 

You May Decide If It Does Anything Explain! 

Sinners Are By Nature Born

But When They Seek And Find The Lord Christ 

They Cannot Willing-Sinners Remain! 

Encountering Christ Convicts Of Sin 

And Causes The Desire To Change! 

That Change Is Called Repentance, My Friend, 

Which Means That One Must Wheel And Come Again! 

Repentance Is A You-Turn Even On The Crooked Road Straight! 

A You-Turn Is A One-Eighty, You See

But 

Beelzebub Has People Convinced That 

Repentance Is A Full Three-Sixty! 

Lord, Have 'is Mercy! 

I U-sed To Think That The Three-Sixty Was The Deal 

But I Is Now Understand That 

That Three-Sixty Does Lef' Me In The Round-About Land 

Without The Off-Ramp! 

Bingo, Beloved! 

You Done Got De Thing! 

Doing That Three-Sixty 

Does Left We With De Bull-Cow Brass Nose Ring 

With Beelzebub, That Satan, That Deceiver, Bearing The Hook 

And Dragging We Helter Skelter 

As He Waiting Fuh We Goose To Get Cooked! 

You Speak Truth, My Friend! 

I Know The Real Friend 

Who Encourages Us To Embrace Real Repentance 

So That We May Rightfully Enter The House Of 

The Dear One Who Was Born To Be The Everlasting King! 

His Name Is Truth! 

His Way Is Peace! 

He Gives Wisdom And Understanding

And 

As Regards Our Shackles

It Is He Who Does Our Chains And Locks Release! 

I Like That One-Eighty Repentance! 

Three-Sixty Is Free To Go To Hell! 

I Will Trust The Truth That Matters 

And Depart From The Lies That Splatter! 

The Final Word ... Perfect Love Gives Free Grace 

But 

Strict Justice Terminates Available Mercy! 

Please Think Of These In Real-World Terms

And 

You Will Not Your Pick For Heaven 

Carelessly, Callously, Spurn! 

Peace! 

HAPPY SABBATH + EVERLASTING LOVE: What A Friend ... And Lover!

Think About The Fact, Beloved, That 

Someone Loves You With A Sacrifice-Of-Themselves Love 

Which Will Not Let You Go 

But

Leaves You Free 

To Walk Away And Associate With Another So Unworthy 

Who Is Basely Encouraging You 

Into Damnation, Into Oblivion, To Go! 

The Someone Who Loves You 

Is 

Your Forever Friend

The Kind Of Friend Who Sees You Clearly 

And 

Lovingly Corrects You When You Are Being Self-Destructive 

And 

Acting To Others Rudely, Crudely

Unfairly, Unkindly, And Even Inhumanely! 

This Someone Who Loves You Without Hope Of Return

Walks With You,  And Talks With You 

Even Though His Overtures Of Love You Treat As Trivialities ... And Spurn! 

I Cannot Condemn You 

Because 

To Him I Did The Same Thing 

Until The Day I Heard Him Cry 

As He Beseeched Me Sin And Self To Deny! 

What Really Caused My Cold Heart To Break 

Was When I Heard Him Call My Name In Prayer! 

He Pleaded With The Father To Let Him Try Another Year! 

He Said That He Would Water Me With His Tears

Feed Me With The Truth 

And 

Cause The Sunlight Of His Righteousness 

To Fall Upon Me In Radiant Array! 

He Pledged To Dig Around My Roots 

To Extract The Stones

To Remove Weeds, The Accumulated Rubbish Of Daily Life

And 

Get Rid Of The Trash Of The Past That 

Over Me A Long Shadow Had Cast! 

I Looked, Really Looked At Him

And 

Was Repulsed When I, In Turn, Really Looked At Me! 

I, Then, In Shame, In Self-Hatred

And 

In That Raging Desire For True Relationship

Reached For His Gentle Hand That 

Had Long Been Extended To Me In Heavenly Love! 

I Now Wear My Love For Him Boldly 

Even Though It Causes Me To Be Coldly Received By Others 

Who Cruelly Say That I'm In Love With And Loving An Illusion 

Which, On My Rush To "Entertainment" Is An Unwanted Intrusion! 

I May Not Physically See The One Whom I Love

The One Who I Know Loves Me First

But 

I Know That He Is Ever-Present

Hears My Call

And 

Answers My Prayers! 

Sometimes He Says "No!" 

And 

Sometimes He Says "Wait!" 

Sometimes He Says "Endure!"

So That I Above This Life May Elevate! 

He Says That In This Way I Exercise

Aka Work His Daily Gift To Me Of Faith 

By Which I Learn Patience 

Which Is Doing A Perfect Work! 

I Tell You The Truth: I Now Love Him As My Forever Friend 

And 

More Importantly

As The Lover Of My Soul ... Who I Am 

And 

I Finally See, Understand

And 

Accept His Word ... It's Alive ... That 

By Constant Communion, Communication

I Will Become Like Him! 

His Spirit Known Holy Comforts, Corrects, Teaches 

And 

Guides Me In The Way That I Should Go 

And 

I Am Glad 

Because 

His Father Has Consented That He Is To Bring Me Into His Home

The Gloriously Lit House In The Eternal City 

Where He, His Name Is Love And Peace, Lives, Reigns

And 

Rules! 

He Is Rich Beyond All Imagining And I Don't Even Care: 

I Just Desire To Be With Him

To Be Forever In His Presence 

Even Though He Is Giving Me My Own Home! 

For The First Time In My Life

I Have Found A Lover Whose Love Gives 

And 

Does Not Expect To Receive! 

If You Have Doubts Believing That He Is Really Real

Look At His Brow

And 

Gently, By Faith, And With Love

Touch The Palms Of His Hands, His Feet, And His Side! 

You, Me, We Did That To Him 

And 

He Still Wants Us Near To His Heart! 

He Is Almighty God, Creator, Savior, Redeemer! 

He Is The King Of Glory! 

He Is The Righteous Judge! 

His Name Is Jesus! 

What A Friend! 

Peace!
