Talking Eternity!!

Best Man came over tonight
He wasn't dressed special
He just looked, well, all right
We sat, and we talked
Of yesterday, and today
And then, let me tell you something
I heard him say a little prayer for me!

Hmmm ...?

"Dearest Love!" - that's his pet name for Me!

"Dearest Love
I love you well
I love you
How much more ... I cannot tell
I love  you, and I wish that we
Would enter into Holy Matrimony!

Gasp!

Alright then!
Now he's talking turkey!

Ooops! 
Sorry!
My mistake!
He's talking Lamb Fest!

"Dearest Love," he said, again

"I give you my heart, and if you will, yours I claim!

I will provide for you a home that is peerless
I promise that with your heart I will not be careless!

I give you My Word
That you I will defend
That nothing will harm your Soul
Not devils nor wicked men
I will protect you
I will lay My Life down
For My Commitment is 
As Holy Ground!

Your home will be a mansion
Quite special, I declare
Of gold which, to me, is 
As common as fresh air!

Green pastures, crystal streams
Water that gives Life
Fruit, such fruit, My Darling
Will you be My Eternal Wife?

What I have is forever
To you I give Me ... Eternally
Give me Your Heart, Dearest
My Love for You is perpetual to Me!

What I offer, no money can buy
What I have I give to you
It comes Holy - no lies!

My Father is Ancient
My Home is Up High
Come to Me, Dearest
We will fly through azure skies!

My companions will be your guardians
Strong, and excellent company
Nothing can come nigh you
When Me you don't see!

My Word is Truth
My Heart Is Pure Gold
My Spirit is Comfortable
You will never be alone, nor suffer cold!

All I ask You, My Dearest
Be Faithful
Be Constant
Be True unto Me
I am Faithful always
I don't abide Infidelity!

There will be days you will not see Me
There will be days you may know fear - don't fear
Trust Me, ever and always
A way for You is prepared!

Now, Dearest, I must warn You
Life with Me will not be always calm
For I have Me an adversary called 
Natas Nam!

He is cruel and cunning
A liar and a cheat
Divisive and vindictive
And dresses beautiful and neat
His acts can be quite charming
But all have a sting
Love Me and trust My Word
And to Me wholly cling!

I give My Life for Yours
In My heart I hold You
Obey Me, and love You
Please never doubt My Word!

Think, Dearest, about Me
Think hard on My Words
And if You are agreeable
Let's be married
I've paid for, and providing You with 
Beautiful - custom - wedding robes!

I said: "Yes!"

I said: "Yes!"
For he is kind!

I said: "Yes!"
He's always on my mind!

I said: "Yes!"
For another like him I'll never find
And, you know what?
That Man IS Divine and

I love him.

That Deceitful Heart ...

Today I talked with Deceitful Heart!
We laughed!
We joked! - I was enamored
But then I thought of what
Jesus Wrote
And I Stepped Back
And Listened to Head Brother!

Head Brother Stood on Shoulders Proud
He wasn't Abrasive
He wasn't Loud
He simply Took his Simple Place
On Top of The Body though it was
Often in Disgrace!

Head Brother said: 

"Listen here, Young Love

You do not want Deceitful Heart

To get you Offside

He Will as he is Wont

To Lead you with Fanciful Twists and False Ties

Interpreted by his Vanity and Desires for Glory

Woven by Half Truths and White Lies!

A Half Truth is a Whole Lie

A White Lie is a Lie

And if you Follow his Leading, Love

Take it from The Head

You are Going To Cry!"

I Remember Ignoring Head Brother a Time or Two before
And Believe Me when I Tell you
That Cleanup Thereafter was a Serious Chore
So, with Warning in Place
Tongue Out of Cheek
Teeth Bared 
I Firmly said: 

"Deceitful Heart, Get Out Of My Face!"

"You've Lied!

You've Misled and Miscued!

You put me through Rings and Twisted Loops

And it's only because of Head Brother 

Through The Spirit that

I am still a Part of The Daisy Smelling Troop!"

"Thanks for Your Input, but 'No Thanks!'

I'll not be Heeding what you Say!

I'm  In Touch with My Jesus

And He is Leading Me 

For to Him I Daily Humbly Pray!"

Mankind Sinned 

Against 

ALMIGHTY GOD

so 

Don't Trust

The SINFUL HEART!

TRUST ALMIGHTY GOD

who 

MADE 

MAN!

The Ultimatum

ToBe SaVed is Ever Always Surrounded
By Sinners
Sinning and
Sin, and
His Brethren
NeeDing SaVing
MayBe SaVed
HowToBe SaVed and 
BeYe SaVed
Have been His Heart
Troubling!

He Knows John 3 and Verse 16
He Knows 1 John 1 and Verse 9
He Knows he wants to be Christian
But Sin - and Sinning - is Brightening his Searching Seeking Eyes!

Sinning to ToBe SaVed Seems So Exciting!
Do Whatever Whenever However you Want!
The Thrills often Heard 
Excite More Than God's Word
And ToBe SaVed is Iffy, Itching to Join Follow-Fashion's Herd!

Follow-Fashion is The Great Deceiver!
Truth to him is Not About Eternal Life!
LIFE to him is about Fun, Fads, Falls, Foolishness and Feelings
Especially when Delivered by The Cruel-Friend Knife!

One Day, LIFE Itself gave ToBe SaVed The Ultimatum:

"Choose You This Day Whom You Will Serve!"

Poor SaVed ToBe, was in a Pickle ... a Quandary
For Follow-Fashion was Great Fun and Fabulosity!

ToBe SaVed Sat Down
Weighed The Pros and
Weighed The Cons
And Asked The Great Question of His Own Soul:

"When The Fun is All Done, Where Will I Rest When I Lie Down?"

And His Spirit gave Him This Simple Dressing Down:

"Life Without Christ is a Satanic Device

To Draw You Away from Your Soul's Savior

That Life is Full of Thrills and Spills

Hangovers and Chills

And Friends that Last as Long as Your Last Dollar Bill!

With Jesus Christ as Your True Companion

Your Life will be Hard is Many Ways

You Will be Hated and Cursed

You Will Bruises Nurse

But Your Ride in The Hearst

Will Not Be The Curse!

Jesus Christ Saves!

He Died for You!

Don't be a Sin Slave!

Pick up His Light Burden and Walk

Sedately ... He is By Your Side

The Spirit of His Comfort Will Be Inside

And ...

At The Last ...

Just Like Jesus ...

You Will Be Raise From The Dead ... GLORIFIED!"

ToBe SaVed is today I-Am SaVed!
He Knows When he Dies
Angels will Mark his Cold Grave
And he Walks and Talks 
As The True Christian Should
His Walk and His Talk Match
He does not Talk as Spilled Gas
And Walk as Lit Match
But he Blesses
And Teaches
And The Seeking Soul
He Prays for and Edifies!

Play Now - Sacrifice Later!

Sacrifice Now - Play Later!

OR

Heaven Now - Hell Later!

Hell Now - Heaven Later!

OR

Hard Life Now - Bliss Later!

Bliss Now - No Life Later!

However YOU Want It

YOU Are Going To Bear A Cross!

Peace and Rest!

There is a Darkness in This World
Colored many a Shade
But, if we would in Christ, look closer
We will see Satan with The Coloring Pencils
Coloring in The Shades!

We, of Ourselves, are Quite Helpless
We, on Our Own, are Sitting Ducks
But, We Who Believe in King Jesus
Don't Worry About Drawings by The Purveyor of Luck!

Pray and Press On!
Faith! Not Ever Forlorn!
Trust Jesus in Spades 
He is The True Healer and Maker of 
The Coming Happy Days!

With Wisdom from On High
From The Haven in The Sky
Hope is Clean Clear Speech, and
Rest Assured is The Chorus on Repeat:

Peace and Rest!

Blessed Peace and Rest!

In The Kingdom of The Blessed

There is Grace's Merciful Assurance of

Glorious Peace and Sweet Rest!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Get Thee Hence!

Wolfie was Caught Between Christ The Rock and Hard Place Cash!
He loved The Cross!
He loved The Cash!
But ... For Good and For Better
He is Building Up The Best Stash!

Ruled by Two Desires and
"Blessed" with High Flown Tastes
Something had to give for
The Cross was Proving a Hard Case!

Wolfie had Huffed and
Wolfie had Puffed
But he could not Bring God's House down
So, he thought up a New Game Plan
And became The Architect of Church Town!

He became The Real Estate Magnate
He became The Banker Extraordinaire
And he became The Public School Principal
And The Good Works Volunteer!

He owns The Food Processing Company
He owns The Farm Land too, I hear
He owns The Transport and The Airport
And of The Town Council he owns one or two
And it is said by The In-crowd
He owns of The Preachers many more than a few!

Things around Town are in Turmoil
Hearts are in a Roiling Stew
Problems are a-Boiling
And Prayers are Going Up by for Me and for You!

THE OPPOSITION:

Divide and Conquer

Command and Commandeer

Cut-off and Separate

Subsume and Obfuscate!

And ...

THE DEFENSE:

Prayer and Supplicate

Repent and Confess

God Validate

Love Your Brother - Don't Hate!

The Faithful are God Trusting
The Trusting have Jesus Christ's Faith
All are Beloved of The Master
And none Fall for Things that Titillate!

Wolfie was in Church Town's Sheep-Fold
And even gave Great Offerings
But, his Singing was so Off-key
The Believers have No Problem
His Song Discovering!

Forewarned, The Believers had No Trouble Accepting
That Sheep and Goats Together Will Grow
That Tares and Wheat will Show at The Harvest
With Tares Separated out for The Burning
And Wheat to The Barn to Safely go!

Sooooo ...

"Wolfie, your Days are Numbered!

Wolfie, your Beard you may let long Grow!

Your Heart is not Benevolent, and

Your Garments are not Blood-washed

To Render them White as The Driven Snow!

We may only be a Remnant

But we are cut of God's Linen Cloth, and

We are Maintaining Integrity!

We don't Bend to, Bow for, nor Worship

Pretty, Putrid, Polished Gold Calves!

Get Thee, Hence

Thou Spawn of The Devil!

Divide and Conquer will indeed Carry The Day

Jesus Christ Conquered Your Master The Devil

And just like him, you will for Your Sins Personally Pay!"

*******

Don't Cross The Dividing Line!!

GOD RULES 

IN 

THE AFFAIRS OF MEN!!

HAPPY SABBATH + Preaching Of and For God?!?

At any given Divine Service, you will find The Pastors pontificating on "The Merits of The Gospel" as though The Gospel has Inherent Demerits!

If you heard one of them speak, you heard all of them speaking  - with a few idiosyncrasies, of course.

Pastor Vain spoke ad nauseum of his "foine" self and his mastery of Biblical "Mustyries!" If you found a mention of Jesus or God in any of his sermons, count yourself blessed!

Pastor Lain was, well, a poseur who knew a lot of nothing about trifles ... and he was a ladies man! He sold the congregation on his personal merits as a passionate purveyor of the Gospel, particularly The Song of King Solomon ... "be...oot...i...fulllll!"

Pastor Drain always wanted donations for this, that, and the other project which was always just short of goal, and when you left his service, you were physically, mentally, emotionally, and financially drained.

Pastor Paine was never satisfied unless somebody in the congregation was on the floor howling for help, hold me, and hallelujah! "Water from Stone!" is his motto!

Pastor Plain was of the position that The Plain Word was Plainly Powerful, and Exposition was execrable! He saw no need to help the Seekers to understand anything. He seems to have forgotten that Jesus Christ "taught" the People!

Pastor Inane was The Boss: Pray. Pass the plate. Say two iffy words - done Preach! He done gone! ...So is his mind!

Pastor X. Plain could, well, explain the moo out of a cow! He always has diarrhea! His mouth doesn't stop running, and he never arrives at The Conclusion Of The Whole Matter! He leave the congregation well, empty.

Pastor Disdain has never met an act of an Apostle with which he could not find fault, nor the Discipline of Discipleship that he will not denigrate. He probably writes his own bible ... on demand!

Idiosyncrasies aside, these Pastors were one:

1. Don't ask them questions.
Who is The Pastor here?
Read my lips!

2. Don't correct their errors.
Who called YOU?
When were YOU called to be The Pastor?

2. Don't ask them the significance of Christ's Baptism, nor its significance to a Believer desiring to be baptized.
Christ was baptized, and so should you!
End of story.


Dear Ones:

Jesus Christ said "Repent and be baptized everyone of you!" ... to pay for your sin.

Almighty God said "Come let us reason together ..!"

The Spirit says "Come!"

The Flesh says "Go!"

The Heart says "So?!"

The Devil says "Enjoy my Show!"

We need to know Jesus for ourselves, and what He represents to, and for, us!

Jesus Christ is The Way, The Truth, The Light and The Life.

Jesus calls all His Children to renounce the Old Man (Sin) and put on New Life (Salvation).

Jesus calls us to Walk Holy for He IS Holy.

Jesus also calls us to be Wise.

Since Our God did not say "Do!" because He said so, but gave us all a reason To Do because He wants an "educated consumer of The Gospel," let us indeed be wise unto Saving of Our Own Souls by not accepting "food" that is only of the "cut and swallow" persuasion.

Let us not permit ourselves to be made merchandise of by The Carnal Purveyors of The Gospel.

Let us lift up God so that His Light shines upon us, and in us.

Let us Study to Show that we are worthy of our Hire (Salvation) for, in Heaven, all residents will have given "Satisfied With Jesus Christ Consent" after having been given "Full Disclosure to The Transaction for The Acceptance of a Home In Glory Land."

Almighty God needs us to be in "The Know!" 

Let us not let The Hirelings cheat us of Our Daily Bread - The Water of Life!

Almighty God Preserved His Word to The Saving of Our Souls, so

Let's Eat!

Don't Let The Eye-Servants Cheat

Us of The Bread of Life!

Let us The Word Chew

To be Renewed!

Let us The Living Word Swallow

So that Our Soul-Ground will not be Fallow!

Let us of The Water of Life Drink

Let us Thank God, and for Ourselves Think

So that The Devil can't cause us to Stink and Sink!

Come On!!

Let's Eat ... and Repeat!!

Holy Is Our Lord!

Hear  Ye!

Hear Ye!

Fear The Lord!

Hear Ye!

You are Distinct - Not Animals

You are Born Dignified!

Don't Trust The Devil!

He Forever is The Father of Lies!

God Gave His Word

Spoken by THE WORD

One With The Father

Trustworthy - THE LORD!

Life and Light

By Living Faith not Blind Sight!

Deny The Devil

Consign him to The Fire of Eternal Night!

We are Saved!

Jesus Christ His Life for Us Gave

So Let's Turn Away from The Past

And Don't be Sin's Trussed-up Slaves!

Peace and Rest are Ours

After Sin is Confessed so

Let's Give Our Backs to The World

And The Spirit Will Help Us Pass The Test!

Holy Is The Lord!

Let's Join The Glad Throng in The Accord

And We Will Get Our Golden Crowns when

We Walk as Those Highly Favored and 

Truly Blessed 

for

Holy is Our Lord!

WHAT DO YOU SAY? - From Thoughts To Destiny

POPULAR PSYCHOLOGY SAYS:

I Think Therefore I Am!

I Wonder If The Learned Ones Even Understood/Understand What It Was/Is That They Were/Are saying!

If The Statement Was/Is Understood, Did/Do They Perceive The Gravity of The Indictment?

Did/Do They Care?

Is Not "I AM" The God of Heaven?

The Arch Deceiver Is Mixed Up In All Of This For Sure!!

*******

QUESTION: What Is It - According To Popular Psychology - That I Am?


My Words Speak To Who I Think I Am!
My Actions Show Who I Am!
My Habits Make Me What I Am!
My Character Broadcasts The Truth of What I Truly Am!

AND ...

My Destiny Is
Where My Character
Formed By My Habits
Occasioned by My Actions
Actuated by My Words
Inspired by My Thoughts
Led Me!


Since It Is Believed that ...
Our Lives Are What Our Thoughts Make Us

It Must Be Surmised, Therefore

That We Live Where We Think What We Are

So

Our Words are Where Our Thoughts Fake Us

And

Our Habits are Where Our Actions Betray Us

And

Our Destination is Where Our Character Drapes Us!

*******

Where Is God?

Do We Need God?

What Purpose Does God Serve In Your Life?

What Do You Say To These Things? 

Think Grace and ... Thank Mercy!!

The Plan Has a name
Salvation The Fame
The Lord Ever Glorious
Accepts all even The Notorious!

Hear The Glad Story
Listen Well and Accept
That God is Ever Faithful
More Than Even We See or Can Ever Expect!

Repent of All Sin - Don't Hold 
To Self Please Don't Pin
Hopes, Trusts and Aspirations or
We'll Satan's Trap Fall Right In!

Confess Sin and Be Saved
Jesus Christ Our Way Paved
With The Blood of His Sacrifice
So The Father Will Accept All Christian Believers True!

Be Baptized! Be Made Anew!
Away With Flesh! Old Life Eschew!
Think Grace and Thank Mercy for
Blessings From God on All Faithful Believers True!

Walk By Faith in New Sight
On The Glory Road of God's Light
Be Faithful! Be Faithful!
Jesus Christ Is Returning To Take To His Home 
The Faithful Departed and All Living Believers True!

Prayer: Lord, Open The Gates

Father, we are Christ-Believing Christians

But we have not yet resisted unto Shedding of Our Blood

Have Mercy

Have Pity, and 

Protect us, Lord

From The Demonic Horde

Pursuing like The Great Drowning Flood!

Lord, grant us Your Grace - You Promised!

Grant us Your Peace - Jesus Shed His Blood!

Give us The Battle Win - The War is Already Over!

Hasten, Lord - Open The Gates of Heaven

We can hardly wait

To Enter The Home Jesus Won for us

By Dying to Save us

From our own Just Fate!

We know that You Can't Be Late!

Even So, Come, Lord Jesus!

Come!
AMEN.
