The Sinner Is Welcomed But His Sin Is Not! Our Faith Is Welcomed But Our Doubt Is Not! The Truth Is Welcomed But Falsity Is Not For The Love Of God Is Enlightening Enlivening AND Saves Confessed Sinners From The Sin Blot! The Hopeless The Helpless The Valueless The Worn The Pitiful The Peaceable The Meek And Mild Are Children Of The Dear Master The Inoffensive One He Who Made The Complete Payment To Totally Redeem Everybody Who Trusts Solely In His Merits To Avoid Paying Satan And Sin's Fees! Inclusivity Is Exclusively Inclusive! Exclusivity Is Inclusively Exclusive! This Is Not A Play To Break The Hinge Of Your Tongue But A Way To Show You How God Moves Around! The Sinner Is Loved! The Act of Sinning Is Hated! The Vile Sin Is Despised! The Repentant Sinner Is Elevated! Living For Self Is A Baleful Act! Living For God Shows That At Sin We Are Not Looking Back No Matter The Manner Of Satan's Vile Attacks! Trusting The Word Of The Holy One Shows Faith Which Garners Favor! Trusting The Words Of The Money Philosophers Is The Act Of A Wanderer Who Loves Tickles AND The Savor Of Curried Favors! Just Because "They" Have A Giant Band And Their Cause Is Fittingly Grand Does Not Mean They Are Walking On The Glorious Strand For Celebration Pomp And Circumstance Do Not Lead To Glory Land! Beware The "Truth" Preacher Who Is Richer Than God For To Be Sure He Is Not Working For The Lord! Beware Of The Teacher Whose Words Do Not Substantiate The Word Of The Word Of How A Sinner Gains Entrance Through The Pearly Gates! Beware The Short Cut Road Supposedly Leading To Life! Beware The Word Of The Winsome Champion Who Says Christians Shall See No Strife! The Living Word Of The Master The Shepherd Of The Flock Without Fear Of Contradiction Says:
At The Age Of My Majority I Started Walking Toward The By-Pass Bus! The Elders Weren't Too Happy AND Of Course Started To Kick Up A Fuss BUT I Was My Own Person! I Could See My Own Way AND Nobody Was Going To Tell Me How In This World I Was Going To Play! My Majority To Me Meant My Own Authority! I Was Intent Upon Getting Away From The Don't Can'ts Even If It Meant Ending Up In A Nest Of Ants! Well ... As Life Would Have It In The Instant I Said:
"I Wish ...!"
There Was A Whole Bunch Of Predators Waiting To Eat Me Like A Dish Of Well-seasoned Baked Fish! One Offered Pleasure! One Offered Pleasure Through Pain! One Offered Pleasure Pain To Get Enormous Gain! One Offered Pleasure Pain Gain AND Enormous Acclaim BUT None Offered Me A Way To Get Out From Under Sins' Stains FOR In Order To Get The Benefits Of A Life Filled With "Do As I Please!" Meant I'd Have To Sell My Soul To Gain What I Could Plainly See Was Nothing But Perishable Gold! I Had Received From My Parents A Foundation Built On The Rock AND Because Of That Blessing I Didn't Run Too Far From God's Flock! I Made Terrible Mistakes! I Made A Fool Out Of My Self BUT I Always Knew How To Say "No!" When It Came To Make The Decision That Would Make Me A Pretty Dead! I Was Oft Unfaithful To God BUT All The While He Is Faithful To Me AND I Kept Hearing That Voice Saying:
"Child, Come!
Come Home To Me!"
I Couldn't Out-run It! I Couldn't Buy It Off! So ... One Day I Said Plainly: "Please Get Me Off Of This Path." AND ... The Faithful Father Took Me At My Word! He Drew Me AND He Wooed Me Showing How Wrong Ways Can Be Reversed! I Took The Word Of The Master For He Is Saving Me From Eternal Disaster! I Have Bumps Marks Scrapes I Even Wear Wound Plaster BUT I Am Free To Be What The Lord Needs Me To Be AND Come High Bidder On Low Ways By God's Grace I Quote A Very Nice
Whatever Happens In The Life Of A Committed-To-Christ, Born-again, Bible-believing Christian All That He Needs To Know Is: 1. God Does Not Lie 2. God Does Not Change 3. God Is Faithful 4.

Why Do We Uplift Christ's Christianity AND Downgrade Christ's Laws? Is It Because Our Vaunted Gazetted Intellect Knows That Christ's Known Desires For Mankind Contains What Educated Men Call Flaws? I Beseech You, Brother Sister Pray Once Pray Twice AND Pray Once More Again For Modern Christianity's Proclivity Toward An All-Inclusive Christianity Which Condones AND Celebrates Sin AND The Dreaded Practice Of The Blind Guides Calling Active Known Sin "Good!" Which Is By Almighty God Called "Evil!" For This Very Practice Will Assuredly Lead To The Prophesied
This Very Act Will Exclude Them From The Glory-Day Celebration But Include Them In The Burning Executed By The Eternal Judge!
An Educated Palate So-called Used For Judging Fine Food and Fine Wine Is Not For Man's Judging Or Re-imagining The Holy Words Of God Almighty - The Divine Whose Eyes Have No Need For Glasses Whose Ears Have No Need For Aids AND Whose "Well Done!" Of Commendation Is Not For Those Who Choose To The Flesh To Be An Overtime Wage-Earning Slave! All Men Sin! Yes, I Sin, Too BUT Like King David I Know That I Am A Sinner ... Willing To Be Saved
I Know How To Pray And Sing And Confess Sin And Repent AND ASK For Forgiveness From The Living Loving Holy God, Too For
I Don't Go To God With The Attitude That He "Does Not Get My Plight!"
I Go To God Appealing Pleading For Help To Win The Battle Which Against Carnality I Must Daily Fight! Please ... Go To God! The Bible Says Plainly:
That Jesus Christ Did Not Have To Overcome!
Take A Second A Minute An Hour A Day OR Two Or A Lifetime AND THINK What THAT Means To For Me AND To For You! Holy Writ Says:
Think Also What THAT Means For Those Who Believe In AND Trust God, Mighty To Save! Almighty God IS Still God The Same Yesterday TODAY AND FOREVER! There Is No Shadow Of Turning! He IS The God Upright!
I Listened To A Sermon Recently That Made A Big Impression On Me! It Was Of A Son Mother Apostle Who Had Prior Long-Range Knowledge Of The Coming Death Of A Beloved's Body! The Son He The Savior He The Sure Word Knew Of His Own Death Before He Even Created The World And, Yet Despite This Fore-Knowledge Despite His Being All-knowing Wise He Still Created The Instrument Of His Own Demise! And, Indeed ... At The Appointed Time He Was Vilely Crucified! The Creature Crucified Its Creator! The Creator Stood Not In The Creature's Way! The Created Was Consumed With The Creator's Death AND Thereby Sealed Its Own Doom! But ... That Is Not My Point! A Mother Gave Birth To Her Son Her Own Soul's Savior And Met In The Temple A Prophet On The Eighth Day Who, Holding The Blessed Child In The Mother's Hearing Did Prophecy How In The Distant Future The Mother's Son Was Going To For The World Die Thrusting A Sword Through Her Heart And Making Her Cry For She Would Know That Her Heaven-Sent Baby Was Born To Die! How Did She Have The Heart To Nurse Comfort Raise Teach Her Boy Baby Knowing He Was Born To Die But Knowing Not The Day Of His Death! But ... That Is Not My Point! The Disciple Turned Apostle In An Epistle Declared His Love For His Lord! He Even Cut Off The Ear Of The High Priest's Servant The Night They Came To Arrest His Master Savior Teacher Friend The Lord! Just Before The Disciple Became An Apostle Just Before The Master Returned To Realm Where He Is Our High Priest AND Coming King The Friend To The End Told The Friend Born Of Mere Men The Manner In Which He Would Reach His Life's End! Lord Almighty! The Weight Of The Burden! To Know That You Are Going To Die For The Cause Of Your Risen From Death And Soon Departing Master And Knowing It Will Be In Your Old Age But Not Knowing The Year Day! How Does One Proceed To Live When Having Reached The Prophesied Old Age? That Bombastic Lord Denying Repentant Renewed Christ-commissioned Apostle Knew Of A Surety Death ... Is Coming Any Day His Way AND He Lived Out The Great Commission Doing Exactly What His Master Had Told Him On That Fateful Day! Simon?! Do You Love Me? Lord, You Know I Love You! Feed My Lambs! Simon?! Do You Love Me? Lord, You Know I Love You! Feed My Sheep! Simon?! Do You Love Me? Lord, You Know Everything! You Know I Love You! Feed My Sheep. Commissioned Provisioned Prepared Broken Remade Declared Simon Called Peter Walked Among The Human Herd And, Of It Culled A Flock Fit For His Master Sustained By The Love Of His Lord! Simon Peter Had His Lot In With His Lord Cast Knowing Full Well Any Day Today Could Be His Very Last! He Didn't Travel Around Waiting For A Talking Ass To Tell Him His End Was Coming Up Fast! He Lived Each And Every Day As If Each Was The Last AND ... One Day Don't You Know He Was... RIGHT!
Trusting The Lord! Not To Trust Him Is Something We Can't Afford For Satan Walks About Saying Of This World That He Is Lord BUT He Does Nothing To Give His Adherents A True Life-Saving Reward! When Purchasing A Plot Or Purchasing A Pint The Educated Consumer Does Due Diligence So Why With Your Soul Would You Sell Out Without A Look About When For The Price Of A Simple Prayer To The Living God You Could - By Free Salvation - Be In The Clear? I Weighed The Pros! AND I Weighed The Cons! AND Then I Made My Informed Decision! My Bum Got Burned! My Affections Were Spurned For Me And The World Had Had A Collision! The Truth Is ... Friends Will Be Offended! Family Will Cast You Off! Foes Will Drill Bore You While Satan Valiantly Tries To Make Gore Of You! So ...
Two Invitations Had Been Extended! Two Suppers Were Seriously On Tap! I Had Received Invitations To Both Celebrations BUT I Wondered About The Meals Offered As I Put On My Nice Thinking Cap! I Did Me Some Serious Investigation! I Wondered Why Two Suppers From The Same Host! I Wondered Why I Got Invitations To Both Of Them AND Wondered What To Me Would Be The Final Cost! I Read My First Invitation The Second Time! It Said Plainly:
"Invitation
To
The Marriage Supper Of The Lamb!"
And Also Invited The Poor The Maimed The Lame AND The Blind AND Said It Was For Those Who Had Been Faithful AND Desired AtONEment AND Had Set Aside False Religion Self Service AND Labor For Loss AND Visibly Totally Trusted Jesus Christ To Be Their Head Because They Believed That It Was For Their Soul's Salvation That Jesus Christ - Himself - Had laid In The Cold Grave Dead! The Lamb's Marriage Supper Invitation Had Appended A Voucher For Jesus-Made Clothes White Linen With The Thread Thereof Being The Exclusive Inclusive Christ's Righteousness And Saying:
"Wear These Garments - They Are Your Ticket!
Wear Any Other
AND
At The Feast
Your Presence
Will Be Absent In It!"
I Thought To My Self
That I Shall This Supper Attend For With True Clothes Provided At This Supper I Know By The Kind Host I Will Be Well-Fed! Curious Now To See What The Other Invite Would Give Me I Opened The Second Supper Invitation In Haste AND Just As Fast As I Had Opened And Read It I Wanted That Invitation Out Of My Face Place! That Second Invitation Had All The Fowls That Fly In The Midst Of Heaven As Guests Of Honor Personally Invited To
The Supper Of The Great God!
AND ...
Stating That The Meal Will Be On Those Who Have Loved And Heeded The Willful Writings The Specious Speeches The Poisoned Promises AND The Dastardly Dealings Of That Lying Wanna-Be god-Fraud! That Second Invitation By Way Of Entreaty Said Explicitly To Those Fowls:
I Was Totally Shocked For If I Had Been One Of Those Who Had Gone Up Against Jesus Christ I Could Look Forward To Becoming ... BIRD FOOD! Instead Of Me Eating The Lamb's Wedding Feast I Would - Either By Personal Decision Or Decision By Default - Be The Feast For Fowls! If I Had Been An Unbeliever I Would Have Filled Fowls! I Laid On My Bed AND Cried AND Remembered The True Words Of Life AND Blessed Almighty God For The Saving Grace Of The Just Judge Jesus Christ My Coming King! I Joyfully Destroyed The Second Invitation For I Loved The Lamb!!
