VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Think Tenderly ...

KJV Acts 24:25
25 And as he reasoned of righteousness, temperance, and judgment to come, Felix trembled, and answered, Go thy way for this time; when I have a convenient season, I will call for thee.


Think Tenderly On The Truth 
And 
Grow Rich In Righteousness! 

Beloved, 

Throughout The Church Age
Men And Women Have Squandered Their Blessings From 
The Divine Majesty Who Inhabits Impenetrable Light 
By Lying On The Truth 
And 
Embracing Self-Deception And Self-Delusion! 

Haven't You Heard That The Best Lie That One May Tell 
Is 
The Lie Told To Oneself!?! 

Dear Ones, 

The Only Thing In This Life Which Does Not Change 
Character, Clothing, Or Commitment To The Cause Of Christ
Is 
The Truth Of Christ! 

Have You Heard Our Savior Calling You 
By The Holy Spirit Who Leads Us Into All Truth!?! 

Did You Answer In The Affirmative 
Or Did You Calendar It For That More Convenient Time 
After You've Gotten Your Jollies 
By Indulging Your Favorite Sin!?! 

Beloved, Be Warned! 

Telling The Lord To Come To You 
At A More Convenient-To-You Time 
Is 
Like Asking Sunrise To Come At Sunset Twice Removed! 

The Sun Does Not Rise Or Set By Our Say-So 
Nor Is The Almighty God Our Servant 
And 
We His God! 

Tread Softly! 

Choose To Listen To The Lamb 
And 
Remember That Every Good And Every Perfect Gift 
Is 
From Him In Whom There Is No Variableness 
Aka Mood-Swings 
Or Shadow Of Turning 
Aka Fickleness 
Aka He Has No Liar In Himself!

Beloved, Think! 

Almighty God Is The Same
Yesterday, Today, And Forever! 

I Implore Us All To Heed The Call To Life 
Less We Awaken One Day To Find Ourselves Like 
King Saul, Judas Iscariot, And All Who Believe That 
They Can Instruct, Correct, Control, 
And 
Commission The Creator God
Our King ... The Judge! 

Night Is Coming
So Walk In The Light That Leads To Life Everlasting! 

Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Multiple-Domain WARFARE!

KJV Isaiah 41:13
13 For I the LORD thy God will hold thy right hand, saying unto thee, Fear not; I will help thee.

All Christians Must Be Able To Indulge Multiple-Domain Warfare 
Because 
We Will Suffer Attack From Three Sources Which We Must 
Boldly And Courageously Overcome ... By Almighty God's Amazing Grace!

Brethren, 

The Adversary Of Souls Will Attack Us 
Through The Same Three Domains 
Through Which He Attacked Our Blessed Jesus: 
The Lust Of The Flesh
The Lust Of The Eyes
And 
The Pride Of Life! 

Amazingly ... And Thankfully
We Are Able To Overcome Our Fearsome Enemy's Vicious And Unrelenting Attack 
In The Same Manner, Using The Same Weapon, That Our Beautiful Savior Did 
Aka The Word, The Living Word
The Eternal Word
The Infallible Word Of Almighty God! 

Of Note, Dear Ones, Is The Fact That The Word
The Weapon Of Our Warfare
Is Not Carnal 
And 
Is Only Useful To Us If We Know It
Understand It
Accept It
And 
Are Willing To Utilize It In All Spheres Of Our Activities 
On Our Earthly Sojourn! 

We Must Have Love, Faith, Hope
Obedience And Endurance 
Or The Word Will Not Work 
Aka Will Not Be Of A Benefit To Us! 

Ask The Lord For Wisdom 
And
Be Wise ... Unto Your Own Soul's Salvation! 

Peace!

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!

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

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!
