HAPPY SABBATH + Where's Your TOE!?!

KJV Psalms 9:9-10

9 The LORD also will be a refuge for the oppressed, a refuge in times of trouble.

10 And they that know thy name will put their trust in thee: for thou, LORD, hast not forsaken them that seek thee.

Where's Your TOE!?! 

Why Is A Toe Called A Toe!?! 

Why Do We Have Big Toes, Great TOES

Or As Some People Call Them, Thumb Toes!?! 

Our Great Toe Aids Us In Our Ability To Walk Smoothly

And 

Helps Us To Balance! 

Dear Ones, 

Remember These Words:

 Walking And Balancing! 

In Our Christian Journey Walking With Christ Our Lord

Our Great TOE 

Is 

Our Trust, Obedience, And Endurance! 

Without Trust

We Will Not Obey The Word Or Endure The Battle! 

If We Lack Endurance

It Shows That Our Trust Is Not Sure

And 

If We Lack Obedience

Trust And Endurance Will Never See The Challenge! 

Brethren, 

Nobody In Their Right Mind 

Will Anchor Themselves By Their Little Aka Pinkie Toe 

But 

Will Depend On Their Great Toe

Their Load-Bearing Appendage Aka Digit

To Hold Them In Place! 

Let Us This Day Use Our Gift Of Faith From Our Lord Christ 

To Birth And Nurture Our Trust In Him Who Saves 

By Our Always Ready And Willing Obedience 

So That We Will Endure To The End

So That We Will Be Blessed And Saved To Hear The Desired Words: 

"Well Done, Good And Faithful Servant! 

Enter Into The Joy Of Thy Lord!" 

Beloved, 

Dig Into Christ's Free-To-All Salvation With Your Great TOE! 

Peace! 

HAPPY SABBATH BLESSINGS AND BOUNTIES!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: The Recyclers!

KJV Jeremiah 2:19

19 Thine own wickedness shall correct thee, and thy backslidings shall reprove thee: know therefore and see that it is an evil thing and bitter, that thou hast forsaken the LORD thy God, and that my fear is not in thee, saith the Lord GOD of hosts.

Sighhh .... 

It Never Seems To End! 

We Backslide From Following The Saving Truth 

And 

Soon We Find Ourselves To Be The Official Recipients Of Chastisement! 

Oh, The Pain! 

With Truly Sorrowing Hearts

We Willingly Confess Our Folly

Our Sins

Our Transgressions

Our Iniquities

And 

Our God, The True And Living Holy God

With The Heart Of Love

Having Compassion

Hears Our Heartfelt Prayers And Plaintive Cries

And 

Works For Us Our Only Means Of Deliverance! 

But ... Do We Learn Anything From Our Recent 

Known Unpleasant Experience!?! 

Oh, No! 

That Would Be Too, Too, Tooooo Easy! 

So What Do We Do Instead!?! 

We Rinse ... And Repeat! 

We Act Like Like Those Who

- By Their Own Wisdom, In Their Own Strength - 

Would Save Themselves, Would Save The Earth: 

We Recycle! 

Oh, Lord, Have Mercy On Us Your Wayward Children! 

Brethren Beloved, 

If We Keep Doing The Same Things 

Whilst Expecting A Different Response

It Is Called Madness: 

There Will Not Be Any Mad 

Aka Boiled-Brain Persons 

In The Living Kingdom Of God! 

Dear Ones, 

Let Us Be Wise For Our Own Selves 

- Having Asked The Lord To Give Us Of His Wisdom - 

So That We Do Not Walk As The Worldly-Wise 

Whose Wisdom Is Foolishness To The God Of Glory! 

In The Land Of The Godly 

The Only Wise God Is King! 

In The Land Of The Ungodly

Satan, The Forever Damned, Is The Accursed King! 

Beloved, 

Rinsed And Recycled Sin Is Still Sin

Backsliding And Chastisement Still Cause Pain

Confession Still Places Us In The Land Of Regret

And 

Restoration Of Deliverance Will Still And Forever 

Come From The Hand Of The All-Knowing

Ever-Present, Forgiving God! 

Please, I Beseech Us All

Let Us Choose To Walk In The Light Of Life 

For The Love Of Jesus Christ The Lord! 

Let Us By Grace Through Faith 

Live And Love To Do Right! 

Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Sere Or SERE: Your Choice!

 

SERE Aka Survival, Evasion, Resistance, Escape Training

Sere Aka Dry, Parched, Separated From The Source Of Life

Beloved, 

All Committed To Christ Christians Are SERE Specialists! 

Our Survival 

Is 

Guaranteed By Our Enduring All Things For Christ 

By His Gift Of Grace Through His Daily Gift To Us Of 

Faith For The Day! 

Our Method Of Evasion 

Is 

By Staying Away From Aka Avoiding Sin 

And 

The Appearance Of Evil! 

We Are Required To Resist The Devil 

By The Word Of The Lord Of Life 

So That He Will Flee From Us! 

Our Way Of Escape 

Is 

The Way Of The Cross 

For The Love Of Jesus! 

Brethren Beloved, 

In All Things 

We Are More Than Conquerors 

Through Him Who Loves Us! 

We Are To Remain Attached To Our Maker

To Our God

To Our King

By And Through Whom We Live And Breathe 

And 

Have Our Being! 

Jesus Christ 

Is 

The Bread Of Life! 

His Blood Is Our Drink Indeed! 

His Holy Angels Are Our Protectors 

Who Cannot Be Overcome By The Forces Of Evil! 

The Holy Spirit Is Our Comforter, Our Teacher, Our Guide 

And Together

All Of Heaven 

Is 

Working For Our Salvation! 

Dear Ones, 

Let Us Therefore Strengthen The Weak Knees 

And

Put On The Whole Armor Of God 

And

Point Our Noses To Heaven At The Last Trumpet 

And

Permit Neither Fallen Man Nor Fallen Angel 

To Cause Us To Turn Aside To Lying Fables! 

Fret Not Thyself Because Of Evil-Doers 

But 

Valiantly ... Courageously

Joy In The Lord And In The Power Of His Might! 

Jesus Christ Alone Saves

And 

The Way Of The Cross Leads Home! 

Peace!

 

The Law Of The Lord Is Our Hedge!

KJV Psalms 119

1 Blessed are the undefiled in the way, who walk in the law of the LORD.

2 Blessed are they that keep his testimonies, and that seek him with the whole heart.

The Law Of The LORD

The Hedge Of Protection For His People

Is 

Perfect 

And 

Converts The Soul To The Ways Of Righteousness! 

We Must Do Right! 

The Testimonies Of The Lord

A Sure, Can't-Fail, Word

Makes Us Wise Unto Our Own Soul's Salvation! 

There Is No One Who Confidently Takes Jesus Christ At His Word

His Testimony

The Truth That Cannot Fail

Who Will Remain In The Darkness Of Sin

Choosing The Foolish Man's Way That Leads To Destruction! 

Beloved, 

To Know Jesus Is To Have Peace! 

To Follow In His Way Is To Find Rest! To Believe Aka Hear The Word 

And

Do The Will In Faith And With Endurance Until Life Shall End 

Is

To See Jesus In Peace

And 

Enjoy Life On The Golden Shore! 

Dear Ones, 

The Word, The Testimony Of The Lord Is Our Strong Tower: 

Run Into It

Walk Back And Forth Through Its Pages

Take Heed

And 

Be Eternally Blessed! 

Jesus Christ, Alone, Is Our Peace! 

HAPPY SABBATH BLESSINGS AND BOUNTIES!

Vespers At The End Of The Sabbath: Would You Do It!?!

KJV Proverbs 23:23

23 Buy the truth, and sell it not; also wisdom, and instruction, and understanding.

"They" Say To All: 

You Must Give Up Your Rights To Secure Peace ... And Safety! 

It Doesn't Stop There! 

"They" Then Say: 

You Must Give Up The Truth To Get Rights! 

Would You Do It!?! 

Beloved, 

Have You Forgotten That 

The Almighty God Has Charged Us To 

"Buy The Truth And Sell It Not!?!" 

There Is No Safety For Anyone 

Without The Security Of The Love Of The Living God 

In The Person Of Jesus Christ The Lord Who Is The Truth! 

Would You Really Sell The Truth 

To "Secure" The Protection And Safety Of 

A Verifiable Lie!?! 

Would You Choose To Shelter Under The Roof Of 

A Non-Existent "Safe" House 

Under The Protection Of The Known And Proved False God Aka Satan!?! 

If You, Fearful, Would

Where Have You Placed It

Or Why Do You Not Use Your Daily Gift Of Faith For The Day!?! 

Dear Ones, Beloved Of The Lord, 

We Are Not To Live Through Our Eyes 

Nor Be Propelled By Our Feelings! 

Let Us, Moment By Moment

Choose To Humbly Live Boldly By 

"Thus Saith The Eternal, Holy God!" 

Note To Mind: 

There Are No Clocks, Nor Crooks, Nor Crookedness In Eternity! 

Beloved, 

Let Your Hope For Heaven Be High 

And

Here And Now

Choose To Be Very Courageous: 

Love Truth, Walk Wisely, Do Right 

And

Honor The King! 

Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: 16 11: Imagine That!

KJV Psalms 16:11

11 Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.

The King James Bible Came Out In The Year 1611

And 

What Do We See In Said King James Bible In Psalm 16 Verse 11!?! 

A Sure Promise And A Can't-Fail Blessing! 

Will You Dare To Take Hold of The Gift Of The Sure Word

Sure Promise

And 

Sure Blessings Which Our Dear Lord Gives To Us!?! 

Will You Believe The Word

Trust The Giver

And 

Embrace  Aka Utilize The Gifts

And 

Take Profit From Your Blessings!?! 

Beloved, 

Please Get Thee Hence Into The Presence Of The Lord Of Life 

And

Find Your Joy 

And

Stay At His Right Side 

To Find True Pleasures With Staying Power 

Aka The Pleasures Which Are Everlasting

As In Don't Fade

Don't Run

Don't Leave A Bitter Taste In Your Mouth

Scars On Your Heart

Nor Bruises On Your Body! 

Our Lord Is Neither Fairy Godfather 

Nor Lying Magician! 

He Is Almighty God 

And 

He Knows What And Provides All That We Need! 

Dear One, 

Please Give Yourself To The Kind King

And 

Be Eternally Blessed! 

Peace! 

https://youtu.be/AoOLtSJ1oKg?si=SybMrAHn2BDq62oO

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: How Are You Using Your Words!?!

 

Have You Noticed That Those Who Indulge In Bullying Behavior 

Use Their Words To Maliciously Hurt People ... Without Justification

And 

Then Excuse Their Unkind, Often Vile, Words By Saying That 

They Were "Just Being Honest!?!" 

I Wonder If They Know, Or Even Care, That 

This Is Satan's Way Of Operating 

Which He Uses To Try To Convince Us That 

Our Savior, The Lord Jesus Christ 

Would Never Want Us In His Kingdom 

Because 

Of Our Obviously Besmirched, Known Defiled

Truly Degenerate Characters!?! 

Beloved, 

I Beseech Us All To Do A Deep Think

A Thorough Search Of Scripture ... And Self

And 

See If The Lord Would Or Has Ever Treated Us This Way

Or Would Want Us To Treat Others In Such A Wretched 

And 

UnChristlike Fashion! 

Let Us Remember, By The Eternal God's Great Grace, That 

Love, The Love Of Almighty God

Is 

The Lubricant 

And

The Currency Of The Caring Known Eternal Kingdom! 

Let Us Endeavor From This Moment, From This Very Day

To Choose To Speak The Truth 

With The Love Of God Leading! 

Peace! 

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Only A Pure Heart May Enter!

KJV Psalms 24:3-4

3 Who shall ascend into the hill of the LORD? or who shall stand in his holy place?

4 He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart; who hath not lifted up his soul unto vanity, nor sworn deceitfully.

Only A Pure Heart Can Enter Through The Open Door Aka Jesus Christ The Lord Of Life 

And Into The Father's House In The Heavenly Canaan! 

Sooo, What's A Known Sinner To Do!?! 

Glad You Asked! 

Only The Holy Spirit Can Make A Sinner's Heart Pure! 

So How Can I Get The Holy Spirit To Do That Job Of Work!?! 

Glad You Asked! 

It's A Two-Part Work! 

You Must Commit To Having Jesus Christ As Your Personal Savior, Lord, And God

And 

Invite His Holy Spirit To Enter Your Heart! 

I Must Warn You, Though! 

Extending The Invitation To The Holy Spirit 

To Take Up Permanent Residence In Your Heart Is One Thing! 

Cooperating With The Holy Spirit 

To Create A Clean Aka A Pure Heart Within You 

Is 

Everything! 

Not Inviting The Holy Spirit In 

And 

Not Cooperating With The Holy Spirit 

Produce The Same Result 

Aka No Salvation

No Sanctification

No "Well Done, Good And Faithful Servant!" 

And 

A "Depart From Me, I Never Knew You!" From The Lord Christ 

Which Results In A One-Way Ticket To Damnation's Burning Lake! 

The Decision, Whichever It Is, Is Yours Alone! 

Anymore Questions!?! 

Please Use Your Gift Of Faith 

To Ask For And Receive Real And Right Answers! 

The Throne Of Grace 

Is 

Presently Permanently Open To Receive Your "Business" 

So Please Choose To Use Your Invitation 

And 

Free Access! 

Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: You've Heard It Before!

KJV John 14:15

15 If ye love me, keep my commandments.

There Was A Time When A Lil'  Person Could Go To A Big Shot 

And Say To That Person That 

Trust-Worthy Mr. So And So Sent Me To You For XYZ Job 

And Just Like That

Lil' Person Done Got Him Or Herself Hired! 

All Of This Was In The Day When A Verbal Recommendation 

Aka Authorized Name-Drop 

Meant That You Fulfilled The Requirements 

And 

Could Do The Designated Job! 

That Trust-Worthy One Was Putting Their Name On The Line 

Vouching For Your Character And Ability 

Whilst Telling The Big Shot That 

Their Word Was Bond 

And That 

Lil' Man Would Not Make Any Of Their Faces Ashamed! 

Beloved, 

Let's Take This Analogy To The Very Courts Of Heaven 

And 

See If We ... Committed Christians 

Do Not Need To Wheel And Come Again 

Because 

We Are A Bunch Of Bogus Believers! 

Hear Me Out! 

Think Cause And Effect! 

Do You Believe It Is Right And Fitting That 

We Should Eagerly Go To The Father 

In The Name Of The Son 

Letting Our Earnest Requests Be Made Known 

When We Are Nothing But Limping Liars 

When We Tell The Father That 

Jesus, His Only Begotten Son, Sent Us To Him 

Because 

We Fulfilled All Of The Requirements Aka Conditions 

When We Know For Certain Sure That 

John Chapter 14 Verse 15 Accuses Us!?! 

The Lord Jesus Said That If We Love Him

We Will Keep His Commandments! 

If We Are Honestly Keeping Christ's Commandments

Then Fittingly

We Will Not Be Insulting The Father

Calling Christ A Liar

And 

Denigrating Our Own Selves 

With Our Calculated And 

Stretched-Out Truth 

Known To Turn Corners! 

People, 

Unskilled Labor Can't Do Skilled-Man Work 

Or Get His Pay! 

Dear Ones, 

If We Expect To Reap All The Sweets 

Which Come Of Our Faithfulness 

And 

Cooperation With Christ 

By The Holy Spirit Of Truth Who Fits Us For Glory

We Must Class Up Our Act 

And

Refine Our Actions 

As We Free-Will Choose To Be 

Who We Say That We Are In Christ 

In The Presence Of Our Father In Heaven! 

Please Understand That 

Only So Many Insults Will Be Tolerated 

Before Hostilities Break Out! 

Act Froward Aka Non-Compliant, Unyielding, To Almighty God 

And 

He Will Act Froward Toward You And Me, Too! 

The Father Can Refuse To Accept Our Prayers! 

Heaven Turning To Brass Against Us Is A Thing In This Circumstance 

So Let Us With Contrite Hearts ... Prayerfully ... Take Heed! 

Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Remember Gideon's Army!

KJV Judges 7:17

17 And he said unto them, Look on me, and do likewise: and, behold, when I come to the outside of the camp, it shall be that, as I do, so shall ye do.

The Composition OfJudge Gideon's Army Should Be 

A Warning And Clue

A Hope And A Help To Us Collectively And Individually 

On This Our Pilgrim Journey! 

Beloved, 

Think On This: 

The Trumpet Sounding A Call To Arms 

Blew A Distinctive Sound Saying:

"Enemies About And Abound!

Help Needed! 

Come Now!" 

Thirty-Two Thousand Willing And Able Souls Answered The Call 

And 

Were Provisioned For Battle! 

The Almighty Sent Word Commanding:

"If You Are Afraid, Go Home!" 

Twenty-Two Thousand Frightened Souls Laid Down Their Arms 

And 

Went Home! 

Was It To Their Home-Home 

Or To Their Long-Home Until The Resurrection!?! 

Many Able Christians Ask The Lord To Let Them Rest In The Grave 

Because 

They Are Fearful Of Giving In To The Flesh During The Time Of Trouble 

And, Thereby

Disappointing The Lord! 

Ten Thousand Willing Souls Were Left To Face 

The Marauding Horde Of The Enemy! 

The Almighty Then Proceeded To Test These Souls 

To Draw Out An Elite Force 

To Fight The Good Fight Of Faith! 

Of The 10,000 Souls Thought Ready For Earthly Battle

Only 300 Souls Were Found Fit To Fight The Good Fight 

After Drinking At The Water ... Of Truth! 

Nine Thousand, Seven Hundred Souls Were Sent Home 

For Being Unwary

And 

For Being Careless 

In Their Preparation For Scorched-Earth War! 

Being Unwary And Careless Kills! 

Consider That ... 

There Was Going To Be Life After The War 

So Was It A Case Where The Almighty Was Sending Them Home-Home 

With The Full Knowledge Of Why They Were Sent Home 

So That They Would Have The Opportunity To Repent, Regroup

And 

Be Re-Educated By The Holy Spirit 

On And In The Living Word!?! 

Dear Ones, 

Those 300 Vigilant, Watchful, Souls 

Were Issued Lights ... Which Were Covered With Clay Jars

And 

Trumpets! 

(Are We Not Vessels Of Clay Holding Treasure?) 

At The Appointed Hour

In Their Three  Ranks

And 

Silently Waiting In Their Assigned Places

They Followed The Good Word Of Their Leader 

To Do As He Did While Uttering What He Had Said: 

"For The Lord And For Gideon!" 

In Obedience 

And 

Energized By The Word

They Broke Their Clay Jars

Held Aloft Their Bright Lights

And 

Energetically Uttered The God-Breathed Word 

And 

Utterly Routed The Enemy Of Souls! 

Brethren, 

Gideon Is A Type Of Christ! 

Those 22,000 Souls Who Had Been Afraid Of The Battle 

And 

Were At Home-Home

Would Ultimately See That They Were Unnecessarily Afraid 

Because 

The Battle Was A Spiritual Battle 

Fought By The Lord Himself 

Using Men Using The Brightly Shining Light Of Life 

And 

The Unmistakable, Unforgettable Word Of Truth! 

Preparation Is Only Good 

If 

We Believe In What We Are Doing 

And 

Trust Him Who Is Our Leader! 

I Pray That The Light Of Life Of The Lord Is Hidden In You

- The Jar Of Clay - 

Until The Day Appointed For Its Revealing! 

You, Me, We Have A Job Of Work To Do! 

Let's Keep Our Eyes On Christ Jesus! 

Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: CONSEQUENCES!

KJV Ecclesiastes 5:6

6 Suffer not thy mouth to cause thy flesh to sin; neither say thou before the angel, that it was an error: wherefore should God be angry at thy voice, and destroy the work of thine hands?

The Concept Is Old And Is Ever New

And 

We Will All Live And Die By Its Outworking! 

Brethren, 

Should We Each Do An Internal Inventory Of Our Past Works Aka Deeds

We Will All Recognize And Remember That 

We Made Our Decisions To Act, Or Not

By Giving Vent To That "Glorious" Statement 

"Consequences Be Damned!" 

Today, I Ask Us All The Question: 

Should Not We Each Make Our Willing Decision 

For Eternal Life In Our Lord Christ 

By Saying 

"Our Consequences Are Blessed Of The Eternal God 

Though Apparently Executed By Published-Abroad 

Known-Ungodly And Accursed Men 

Inspired And Motivated By The Damned Devil!" 

Beloved, 

I Beseech Us All To Stand With The Brave 

Knowing That Jesus Christ Alone Saves 

And 

Raises His Blessed Dead To Live Forever 

In The Paradise Of God 

Where All Is Love, Joy, And Perfect Peace! 

Now Is Not The Time To Be Wafflers And Fence-Jockeys! 

Now Is The Time To Be Very Courageous 

And 

To Boldly Live Under The Abiding Love

The Gentle Gaze

And 

The Loving Touch Of Our Master's Hands! 

Jesus Christ Our Lord Reigns And Rules Over All! 

Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Times And Things!

 

The Lord Be Ever Praised!

Our Town Was Always Hopping! 

The People Were Wild And Wooly 

And

You Were Guaranteed An Experience 

Sure To Take A Few Years Off Your Life 

On Any Given Weekend! 

At Least It Had Been So 

Until Master Jesus Opened Grace 'N Mercy! 

Grace' N Mercy Was A Different Kind Of Establishment! 

It Didn't Sell Anything! 

It Had No Cash Registers

No Security Guards

And 

No Officious Sales Associates! 

Their Slogan, Written In A Strangely Comforting 3-D Bright Red, Was 

"New Lives For Old!" 

Truth Be Told

I Had Been Getting Tired, Really Tired, Of My Old Life 

So I Said To Myself: 

"What The Hay!?!" 

And 

Boldly Walked In Like I Owned The Place! 

I Was Met By The Master Himself 

And 

He Explained What I Would Need To Do 

To Get A New Life From Him! 

He Sounded Sincere

Had A Lovely Voice Which Was Truly Comforting

And 

His Offer Appeared To Be Legit! 

The Only Thing That I Balked At 

Was When He Said That I First Had To Get My Eyes Healed

Get My Ears Unstopped

And 

My Tongue Cleansed With Some Hot Coal 

From His Altar Of Sacrifice (Really!?!) 

And Then 

Empty Everything From My Pockets

My Purse

And 

My Tote Bag Before Stripping Myself Bare ... In His Presence! 

I Looked At His Cross-eyed And Said: 

"Pull The Other Finger!" 

Master Jesus Just Continued Looking At Me With Amazing Love 

And 

Great Compassion In His Beautiful Eyes 

Before Gently Touching My Right Hand With His Own! 

I Saw That His Hand Was Severely Marred! 

I Looked Up Into His Face 

And 

It Was Then That I Saw The Terrible Scars Across His Forehead! 

But, But ...!!! 

It Couldn't Possibly Be Him! 

I Shook My Head To Clear My Mind! 

Something Happened! 

Joy Flooded My Very Being 

And 

I Committed To Making That Transaction! 

Beloved, 

I Said All Of That To Tell You That 

My Old Crazy Self 

And 

My Wild And Wooly Town Started Slowly Changing! 

It Seemed That We All, Willing

Had Gotten New Leases On Life 

As In We Had Received New Life 

Just For Trusting The Word Of The Blessed Life-Giver! 

Truth Must Be Told:

It Had Truly Been A Great Day 

When Master Jesus Had Opened His Door

- Became The Door - 

In Our Town! 

What A Wonderful Change Is Being Wrought! 

Oh, The Peace That Passes Human Understanding! 

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Rally Around The Lord Christ's Cross!

Brethren, 

I Don't Know About You

But 

I Have Noticed That Active, Willing, Sinning 

Is 

Now "The Thing!" 

There Is The Apparent And Obvious Trend 

Toward Letting Your Flag Of Personal Desire Aka Choice Sin 

Be Joyfully Waved And Flown High! 

Dear Ones, 

This Thing Should Alarm Us All 

And 

Should Also Cause All Of Us 

- Who Have Chosen Jesus Christ As Our Everlasting Portion -

To Be Humble And Hopeful Outliers 

- Not Out And Proud Liars - 

Who Distinctively Sound The Battle Cry Of Salvation 

And

The Invitation To The Welcome Home Feast For Christ's Faithful! 

Let Us Sow Seeds For Salvation With Our Lord And Savior 

Instead Of Scattering Seeds Of Self And Sin 

With And For That Serpent, Satan! 

Please Remember, Dear Ones, That 

Jesus Christ Creates 

But 

Satan The Damned Destroys 

And

Dare To Help Our Listing Brethren 

To See What Accepting The Gospel Of Grace 

Gains For Them In Almighty God's Glory! 

We May Cry Now In This Dark Night Of Sin 

But

All Of Christ's Faithful Will Eternally Enjoy Joy In His Presence 

In The Everlasting Morning In His Kingdom Of Light 

Because 

There Is No Night There! 

Be Wise For Yourself: 

Do Not Make Peace With Sin! 

Let Us Valiantly Choose To Make Peace With Peace! 

Peace Be Upon You Aka Jesus Christ Be With You! 

 

  

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Look At Foolishness!

 

Have-All Got-Nothing Was The BMIT Aka The Big Man In Town 

And

To Promote It

He Drove A Brand New BMW Aka Big Man Wagon! 

He Had Big Bucks 

And 

He Could Buy And Sell Anything

Everything

And 

Anybody In Town! 

Everybody, Somebody, And Nobody At All 

Were Afraid Of Him! 

What  People Didn't Know Was That In Truth And In Fact That 

It Was He Who Was Afraid Of Them 

Because 

Without Their Fear Of Him

He Had No Control Over Them! 

Look At Bare Foolishness! 

He Was The Boogeyman Who Didn't Have A White Sheet To Wear 

Nor A Night-Wind To Blow It About! 

Have-All Got-Nothing Was Just Like That Laodicean Church 

Which Said It Was Rich And Increased With Goods 

And 

Had Need Of Nothing 

But Was, Instead

Wretched, Miserable, Poor, Blind, And Naked! 

Beloved, 

Saying Something Doesn't Make It So! 

Believing Something Doesn't Make It True! 

Throwing Ones Wealth And Weight Around 

To Make Others Fear And Tremble 

Doesn't Make One Almighty God 

... And ... 

Christians Who Doubt The Eternal Word Of The Everlasting Father 

Are Calling Almighty God A Liar 

When We Tremble And Live In Fear Before Mere Men 

... And ... 

That Damned-Forever Father-Liar, Satan! 

All Men Have A Master 

...  And ... 

So Does Satan, Too! 

Brethren, 

Please Let Us Tremble And Fear Before The Lord

The King Of Glory ... Our Maker, Sustainer

Maintainer, Savior, Friend, And Redeemer 

For He Is The Truth

Our Peace

Our Life

And 

The Light Of Every Man Aka Human! 

Peace! 

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Shhhhh! "E" Words Inside!

 

Who Are You!?! 

Enlightened Or Entitled!?! 

Confessor Or Possessor Of Truth!?! 

A Christian Committed To Jesus Christ The King 

Will Never, Ever, Possess The Spirit Of Entitlement! 

Every Gift Of God 

Is 

Free From Him To Us 

By Our Free-Will Acceptance 

So There Is No Place Or Call For Entitlement! 

Possessors Of Truth By Working Faith Will Confess 

But 

It Is A Rare Thing To See Professors Of Truth 

Being Humble Enough To Confess That 

They Are Children Of The Great King 

Willing To Stand Up In The Light Of Life 

No Matter The Rabid Opposition Which They Will Undoubtedly Face! 

The Heart Enlightened By The Truth 

Is 

Enlivened By The Holy Spirit - Who Leads Into All Truth - 

And 

Is Lively To Tell The Good News Of Almighty God's Great Grace That 

Leads To His Surpassing Glory! 

Unregenerate-Self Is Dissolved 

And 

The Saint, Being Daily Sanctified, Walks Humbly Before His God 

And

With Enduring Faith

Presses On The Upward Way 

To Reach The Home Of The Forever Blessed! 

Entitled Self Is A Sure Sinner! 

The Humble Saint Is For Christ The King! 

Please Learn The Clear Difference 

And 

Choose The One Which Will Surely Help You 

To Walk Through Your Designated Pearl Gate 

And 

Into That Glorious City Which Has No Night There! 

Be Wise For Your Own Being-Regenerated-By-Christ Self! 

Peace! 

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Placing Confidence ...!?!

 

Important People Called Wise Would Have Us To Believe That 

Having Confidence In Them Is Better 

Than Having Confidence In The Lord Christ! 

Now, There's A Thing! 

Preachers Teaching Another Jesus From Another "Bible" 

Desire That We Place Confidence In Them 

Because 

They Studied Long And Hard, And Write A Lot

And 

Being Upper-Class Men

They Have Got The Facts And The "We Know It!" Card! 

Brethren, 

The Scribes, The Pharisees, And The Sadducees

The Lawyers And The Doctors Of Jesus' Day 

Knew Everything

Knew Nothing

Demanded Confidence In Themselves

And 

Sold The People Out To Sin And Satan! 

Have We Learnt Anything Yet!?! 

Beloved, 

Be Wise! 

Now Is Not The Time To Have Confidence In Any Created Being 

If You Want To Meet Jesus Christ In Peace ... Perfect Peace! 

We Cannot Have Confidence In Blood, Bonds, Or Beauty

So, Therefore, We Must Repose Our Confidence In Him Who Is Not A Man

In Him Who Cannot Lie

In Him Who Has Already Cold-Death Defied

In Him Whose Throne Is On High 

And 

From Whence He Hears Our Heartfelt Prayers And Plaintive Cries! 

Not Convinced!?! 

Ask A Deceitful Human To Get You Up 

If 

The Lord Has Bade You To Be Still! 

Beloved, 

Keep Your Trust In And Your Secrets With The King Of Glory! 

Be Absolutely Confident In Our Lord Christ! 

Peace! 

Vespers At The End Of The Sabbath: Give "It" A Name!

 

Mark The Word: 

Without The Law

There Can Be No Sin!

 

Beloved, 

Think On This Thing:

In Order For A Problem To Be Fixed

It Must Have A Name! 

In The Normal Run Of Things

Someone Must Bear Responsibility For Having The Problem

Causing The Problem

Or Fixing The Problem! 

And

Problems Only Get Fixed 

When Blame And Shame Fall Upon Someone's Shoulders! 

Dear Ones, 

In The Realm Of Unnamed Problems

Nameless Is Blameless And, Therefore, Shameless 

As In Having No Need To Bow The Head Or The Knee! 

Brethren Beloved, 

We Who Diligently And Lovingly

Faithfully And Enduringly Serve The Lord Jesus Christ

Please Let Us Not Walk In The Vaunted Wisdom Of The Worldly-Wise 

Which Is As Foolishness In The Eyes Of The Only Wise God 

Who Reigns And Rules In The Orderly And Eternal Glorious Kingdom! 

Let Us Choose

- By Grace Through Faith That Works By Love 

And 

Purifies The Soul - 

To Identify The Problem Areas In Our Lives 

By The Infallible Word

And 

With Shame-Facedness 

Boldly Carry Them To The Throne Of Grace 

To Him, Innocent, Who Took The Blame For Us 

So That We, In Brokenness And Contrition, Could Walk Free! 

Let Us Let Our Jesus Place Our Problems Aka Our Sins 

Upon That Scape-Goat Satan 

Which Is Where They Belong 

Because Of 

Our Humble Confession, For Love Of Jesus

And 

Heart-Felt Repentance, For Life With Christ! 

Names Have Meaning! 

Remember That Anything That Does Not Bless Curses 

And

Anything That Does Not Save Destroys! 

Please Let Your Strong Desire Be For The Lord! 

Jesus Christ Saves! 

Peace! 

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: PRAYER For Help!

PRAYER:

Oh, Heavenly Father, 

Please Have Mercy On Us Who Are Distressed

Walking In Darkness, Deceived

Doubting The Deliverance Paid For And Promised 

And Provided To Whosoever Sees Their Need

And Is Willing To Reach For The Extended Hand Of Him

Who Is Our Hope, Bringing Help And Healing

And Is The One Door To The Heavenly Home! 

Please Help Us To Not Yield To The Taunts And Temptations Of 

The Naysayers, The Scorners, The Liars

The Licentious, The Proud, The Perverse

And The Affluent And Boldly Willing Sinners 

Who Are Unafraid And Unashamed

And Are Vociferously Calling Others 

To Follow Them To Satan's Planned And Man-Purveyed Ruin! 

Please Unstop Our Ears So That We May Truly Hear Your Truth! 

Please Apply The Heavenly Eye-Salve

So That Our Eyes May Be Healed 

And We Will Truly See The Light Which Leads To Everlasting Life! 

Oh, That A Coal From The Altar In Heaven May Be Applied To Our Lips 

So That We May Be Cleansed Of Our Iniquities

And Purged Of Our Sin! 

Oh, Father, 

Let It Be That We, Willing To Be Saved, Will Say: 

"Without Our Lord Jesus, We Cannot Do Anything!" 

And, In Faith, Nothing Wavering

Commit To Our Lord

And To Taking The Way Of The Cross Which Leads Home! 

Hear Our Earnest Prayer 

And Answer Us According To Your Will 

And In Your Way 

For We Ask These Blessings In Jesus Christ's Holy Name! 

AMEN! 

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Are You Almighty God!?!

We Have All Heard The Statement Dramatically And Emphatically Uttered: 

"I'll Never Forgive Myself!" 

It's A Loaded, Powerful, Fizzy-Pop Lie From An Over-Wrought Heart 

Unless You're Putty In Satan's Grimy Hands 

And Then

It's An Even Bigger Lie 

Designed And Delivered To Deliberately Destroy 

The Precious Souls For Whom Jesus Christ The Redeemer

In Amazing Love, Once For All, Died! 

Beloved, 

Are You Almighty God!?! 

When Jesus Christ Purchased Our Forgiveness 

With His Precious Known-Innocent Blood At Calvary

It Was Mighty To Save Us All Who Believed! 

If You Refuse To Believe The Word 

And 

Reject The Blessed Forgiveness

You Have Become Your Own God Aka You Are "God" ... A Lie

You Are A Liar

And 

An Idolater

A Friend Of Satan

An Enemy Of The True And Living God

And

Have Booked A Berth For The Second Resurrection 

Where Regret Is The Tune Of The Trip! 

Brethren, 

We Are Required To Give Account For Our Lawless Words 

So, Please, I Beseech Us All

Do Not Dance With The Damned Devil

And

Do Not Offend

Do Not Crucify Afresh

Jesus Christ The King

Our Lord And Our God Never A Fraud! 

Who Jesus Christ Frees 

Is 

Free Indeed! 

Peace!
