The Law Of God As A Thing

HUMANS!

We Have A Problem!

As Far As I Am Concerned

This Is How The Story Goes:

Walking Around
Doing As I Was Well Pleased
I Committed No Sin!
I Had No Heart Ache
Nor Knew Of Disease
UNTIL ...
That Grave Morning
The Law Of God Was To Me Revealed
AND
I Knew
Of A Certainty
That Obeying That Law
AND
That God Pleasing
Meant
That I Would Be
Me Displeasing!

That Was Not Going To Work
For
I Always Put Me First
AND
This Law Of God Thing
Was Putting The Critical Order Of Things
Into An Impractical To Me
Reverse!

I Am Important!
No Body Comes Before Me
AND
This Two Tablet
Ten Commandments
- Not Suggestions
Nor Recommendations -
First Four Commandments For God
Last Six For Family Friends
In Short, The Whole Community
Feels Like Coarse Sand Paper
Crossing Over A Truly Delicate
Deliciously Fine-Tuned
Human Body!

This Law Of God Thing Is A Kill Joy!
I Can't Unsee
Unhear
Unknow
What I Now Know
AND NOW
I Have A Responsibility!
The School Master
You Know - The Law
Says So!

When I Commit Sin
I Must Repent To God!
I Must Do All In The Faith Of Jesus
Who Died To Reconcile Me
To God The Father
From The Fatal Flaw!

Fatal Flaw?!

SIN!

Sin?!
What's So Fatal About That?
We Live! 
We Have Fun!
Time Passes!
We Die! 
End Of Story!

Not So Fast!
You Are Quite Wrong!
Sin aka Lawlessness aka Iniquity
IS
The Transgression Of God's Laws!

The Penalty For Doing Sin Is Death!
Judgement!

Eternal Death aka Body Plus Soul In Hell 

Aka Eternal Separation From God!

You Burn Until You Are Consumed 
AND
The Length Of Time Burning
In The Lake Of Brimstone And Fire
Depends On The Depravity Of The Sinner!

To Get Out Of Suffering Eternal Death
We Need A Savior!
Blood Must Be Spilt!

Jesus Offered Up Himself!
His Father Sent Him To Pay Our Price!
He Got What We Deserved
AND
We Get What We Don't Deserve!

We've Got To Accept The Offering
Or
We Will Still Die!

You Hear About The Mansions!

What Mansions?!

In God's House!

Jesus Is Preparing A Place
In His Father's House
For His People!

Are You A People?

Believe It!

What Do I DO To Get What You've Got?

Believe Jesus' Salvation Is Fee Free!
Acknowledge Sin!
Confess Sin!
Repent Of Sin!
Walk In Jesus' Faith!
Walking In Your Own Way Relent!

Sounds Doable!

Doable ...
BUT
Not In Your Own Strength!

You've Got To Get The Holy Spirit!
Let Him Of You Take Control!
Accept The Eternal Gifts Offered!
Heaven Must Be The Only Goal!

I Hear That!
Gold Is My Favorite Color!

I Said Goal!

I Heard You!
I Accept That
And I Desire God's Gold!

So ...

My Goal Is God's Gold!
Without Jesus
I Will None Get
So I Will
Out Of Love
Cling To Jesus Christ
AND
My Eternity Is By God Set!

I Get God!

God's Got Gold!

I Get Gold
Because I've Got God
Who Is Good
And Who
For My Sake
By Jesus
On The Cross Stood!
His Blood Has
My Peace Purchased!
My Peace Is Mine
Because I His Living Word Obey!
I Shall By Grace
Walk Holy
AND
Won't Have It Any Other Way!

Problem Solved!

Jesus Saves!

THE DECALOGUE : For Life And For Judgment

In The Beginning Was The Word
- And The Word Was With GOD -
- And The Word Was GOD -
In Whom Is The Faithful One's Redemption
In Whom Is The Christian's Hope
In Whom Is The Believer's Peace
In Whom Is The Over-comer's Heavenly Reward!

The Word
In His Wisdom
Gave The Words
That Preserve Life!
Four Words
For Our Relationship With Our Father
AND
Six Words By Which To Live With Our Brethren
Without Acrimony And Strife!

The Words Of The Word
To All People
In Total
Make Up The Guide For Life
AND
That Same Word
By Fire On Stone Written
Will Be The Rule For Our Judgment
At The End Of Life's Strife!

There Is A Do
Some Don'ts
AND
One Remember
AND
That One Remember
Will
At The End Of The Age
Be Used To Take Away Our Lives
Because We Won't Dishonor God's Word
AND
With The Damned Devil
Hoot Holler
Falsely Worship
AND
Grossly Play At Pray!

To Make Light Of The Decalogue
Is To Make Light
Of The Living God's Light!
In It Is No Legalism!
No Sting!
Not A Bite!

We Ignore It
At Our Own Soul's Peril!
AND
We Do It To The Dark Lord's Delight!

Let Us Come To Our Own Conclusion!
Let Us Study For Our Own Selves
So That We May Believe
AND
Not Let
Pastor
Pope
Priest
Prince
Parent
Politician
Paramour
False Christ
Nor False Prophet
Determine
AND
Decide
For Us
Where We
Through Eternity's Endless Age
Will Reside!

The Chances
The Choices
The Classes
Are Ever Only Two!
Heaven Or Hell!
Sinner Or Saint!
Saved Or Lost!
Eternal Immortal Life In Heaven With Jesus
OR
Body And Spirit Death aka Eternal Separation From God aka Hell
With You Know Who!

Be An Educated Consumer!
Don't Be A Driven Goat
On A Devil-knotted Rope!

Follow Jesus!
He That Is Meek And Mild!
Follow The Lowly King Jesus
Who For Our Sake
Became A Man-Child!
Follow The Lamb Jesus
Who For Our Sake Was Reviled
AND
Who For Our Blessing
To The Father
Us
He Reconciled!

God Grants Glory!

I Am Following The Eternal God!

Now ... CHOOSE:

The Eternal God

OR

The God-Fraud!

Let The Choice Be Your Own!

Exodus 20:1-17 King James Version (KJV)

And God spake all these words, saying,

2 I am the Lord thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.

3 Thou shalt have no other gods before me.

4 Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth.

5 Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the Lord thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me;

6 And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments.

7 Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain; for the Lord will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.

8 Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy.

9 Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work:

10 But the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates:

11 For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day, and hallowed it.

12 Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee.

13 Thou shalt not kill.

14 Thou shalt not commit adultery.

15 Thou shalt not steal.

16 Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour.

17 Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is thy neighbour's.

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Christian Lightweight: The Exercise Class

I Had Gotten Fat By Being Lazy!
I Had Become Lazy
By Being Selfish And Own Way
AND, NOW
Christian Was I
In Name Only
- Not By Nature -
AND
I Wasn't Worth A Hill Of Beans
Nor A Row Of Yams
On The To-Jesus High Way!

My Prayers Were Of The Diet-Light Version!
I'll Give You An Example!
Let's See If You Agree
AND
If These Ideas As Prayers Sound Familiar
You'll Know That You Should At Exercise Class Be Joining Me!

• "Thank You, Lord!"
• "I Love You, Lord!"
• "Thanks For My Food, My Head, And My Bed!"
• "I Am Glad That I Am Not Like Those Other Christians, Lord!"
• "Lord, I Need A ...!"
• Lord, Could You Send Me A ...!"

The Handwriting On The Wall Of My Soul
Was Clear
When It Said:

In Tribulation

You Are Going To Fold!

You Have No Stored Resources!

Your Battle-Muscles In Jesus Christ

Are Flabby And Weak

AND

At The First Sign Of Real Trouble

You Are Going To

Blubber

AND

Fold Up

AND

Against God

AND

His People

Speak!

I Was Seriously Shocked!
I Was Grossly Humiliated!
I Was Damnably Ashamed!
I Was Revoltingly Distressed!

I Really Love My Jesus!
I Really Really Do!
I Thought My Self A Success
But
Seriously?
Has My Life Been All A Christian-like Jest?!

You Know It!!

Lord Jesus, Have Mercy On Me!

I Have Been Indulging

In A Round Of Gross Folly!

Take Me!

Teach Me!

Turn Me To The Right Way!

I Desire Your Leading!

I DO NOT Wish You To Be By Me Betrayed!

NOW ...

That Is A Prayer From Your Heart!

Go One More Step!

Think Jacob - Not Esau

And

Ultimately

All-Out

Wrestle With Your Lord!

Confess Your Sins!

Of Known Sins You Must Repent!

Go Boldly To The Throne Of Grace

AND

Your Gross Heart Rent!

Commune With Your Savior!

Lock Arms Against The Adversary Of Your Soul!

Indulge Yourself In Mortal Conflict

AND

Don't Let Go Of The Master

Until You Get A New Name

AND

The Blessing

As Reward!

Well ... Long Story Short ...

I Found My Self In The Bunny Class!
I Had To Learn All About Exercising Hope:

I Hope!
I Know How Hope Feels!
I Know Hope Somewhat Well!
I Have No Hope!
I Am Hopeless!
I Am Somewhat Hopeful!
AND
I Have Hope!
AND
I Am Hoping!
In That Class
I Learned
What It Means To Wheeze!

My Next Class
The Intermediate Workout
Aka Iron Man -  To The World
But
To The Believing Christian
"Hold To God's Unchanging Hand!"
Brought Me To My Knees!

In That Class
I Really Learned To Pray!
I Went From:

What Faith?
Inherited Faith!?
Faithless!
Mustard Seed Growing!
Faith Almost Full!
Faithful!
Happy Heart Overflowing And Full!

I Had Arrived At
Faith And Works!
That Is No Bull!

I Was Getting Happy!
I Was Singing!
I Even Pulled Off A Happy Dance

WHEN ...

The Drill Sargeant
Life Kicker
Buckled On His
"Life Is A Bastard!"
Weighted
Burden-Carrying Pants!

I Was In Total Shock!
I Couldn't Decide
Whether To Cry
Wheeze
OR
Just Pray

SO ...

I Called On Jesus Christ
The Holy Sacrifice
My Lord And My God
The Payer Of My Fee

My Shepherd And The One Like Whom I Want To Be

AND
I Learned Of
AND
Leaned On The Holy Spirit
Instead Of Inanely Crying:

"Why Me, Lord?! "

Patience?!?

Patience!!

Lord, I Need You!
Wait On Me.

Lord, I Am Weak! Help Me!
Wait On Me, Child.

Lord, I Don't Know What To Do!
I Am Calling, Lord!
I Am Trusting ...
LORD! I TRUST YOU!

Wait On Your Lord!
In Him Is Your Reward!
Wait Meekly And Pray!
Your Lord Won't Cast Your Hope Away!
Wait
Watch And Pray!
His Living Word Obey
And
At The Appointed Time
You Will Have Nothing For Which To Repine!

I Learned Of Patience
Whose Root Says Pay!
I Paid Pay My Dues Daily!
I Pay!
I Don't Play
With
Faith
Hope
Nor Prayer!

I Know That If I'm Not Prayed Up
That I Will Preyed Upon
AND
I Choose
To Wrestle With Jesus
AND
Peniel
Stand Upon!

I Have Patience ... With My Lord
Not Because I Want To
BUT
Because I Must!
I Don't Envy The World's Traffic!
I Don't At Delay Make A Fuss!
I Hope!
I Pray!
I Have Faith
And
In Patience Wait
For
In The Living Loving
Holy
All Seeing
All Knowing
Ever Present
Always Available To The Believing Child
Holy God
I Trust!

Lord, I Want To Be

A Bleeding Heart

Believing Christian

Not A "Christian"

With A Callused Heart

Because

A Hard-hearted Christian

Is One For Whom

Heaven's Light Is Dark!

TRUTH: Warning: Men Will Cry!

... For God

Hmmm ...

So Loved The World

Yawnnnnn ...

That He Gave

Stretchhhhhhh ...

His Only Begotten Son

Cough! Cough!

That Whosoever Believeth In Him

Steupse!

Should Not Perish

Eye Roll!

But Have Everlasting Life!

Snoooooooooooore!


AND ...?!

Here We Have
A Fallen Man
Unconcerned With His Soul's Salvation
Uncaring Of Salvation's Plan
