Strange Work For God!

With Lying Satan

Riding Us Like Prize-winning Steeds?

"Come Unto Me
All Ye That Labor
AND
Are Heavy-Laden
AND
I Will Give You Rest!"
Is Not An Invitation Carelessly Tossed Out!
It Is An Invitation
To Live In AND For The Lord
AND
At His Returning
Shall He Find Faith
There Will Be The Heavenly Reward
Gloriously Given Out!

It Is Bandied About
By The Faithless Crew
That In Self Is Satisfaction
AND
A Bauble Or Two
BUT
In The Invitation To Rest
Is A Rejection Of The Fun Run
AND
A Willingness To Grinding Servitude
Where
Individuality Is Considered A Bad Attitude!

It Is Also Stated
By Those Who Are To Self
Slaves
That They Want No Part Of The God
Who Sodom And Gomorrah Did Raze
For
In Their Indictment
Of The Creator Of Us All
They Say
That God Made A Defective Creature
AND
As Such
He Is Responsible For Man's Fall!

These Also Rashly Point 
To The End Of All Things
AND
Accuse The Living God
Of Evil Speaking
Bullying
Grandstanding
AND
Threatening 
All Contrary-To-His-Will Men
With Annihilation In Eternal Hell Fire
If They Don't Bow To His Sovereign Will
AND
From Sinning Retire!

These Willful Wanderers
Call The Holy God Mean
AND
Take Pleasure In Unrighteousness
Just To See If
What God Says
Is What God Means!
The Attitude Is Such That Says
That If God Were Really Real
Destruction Would Be Instant
AND
Not To Be Meted Out 
Eternally
In Some Distant Day
AND
For This Very Reason
They Will Do What They Like
AND
Indulge In Abominable Displays
For
Life Is For Good Living
For We Are On The Earth For A Few Short Days
AND
In All This
We Can See Satan's Dirty Hands
AND
His Interpretation Of 
The Holy God's Attributes
AND
Ways!

Eternal Hell Fire Simply Means
No One Will Extinguish It!
It Doesn't Mean
Everlasting Burning
In Inextinguishable Flames!
That, Too
Is One Of Satan's Best Lying Efforts
To Show Man That
Almighty God
Is Like Him
A Sadistic Barbaric Yahoo!

Our Almighty God
Is Loving
Kind
Merciful
Even As He Is 
A God Of Justice, Too!
God Gives Each Man
Will
Way
AND
Opportunity
To Go To The Lord
AND
Say:

Father, I Am From This Day Willingly Following You!


When We Do What We Want
Against Law
Common Sense
Instruction
Direction
AND
Correction
We Pay The Price
BUT
When We Do What The Lord Desires
Letting The Holy Spirit
Be Our Guide
We To Heaven Aspire
AND
We Avoid God's Prepared-For-Unrepentant-Sinners
Hell Fire!

God Offers A Blessing!
God Offers A Curse!
Blessing Or Cursing
It Is Up To Man
To Choose A Verse
In The Hymn
That Is Sung
In The Life Of All Men
AND
It Is Up To Each One
Who Will
Over Him
Say The "Amen!"

God's Blessing ... Blesses!
God's Cursing ... Curses!
AND
None But The Living God
Can A Curse Reverse!

We Are Called To Faithfulness
Truthfulness
Honesty
Obedience
AND
Love
AND
We Are Called To Worship
Honor
AND
Praise
The God Of Heaven
Through Whom We Have Length Of Days
AND
Abiding Heavenly Love That Faith Pays!

We Were Made
For Jesus Christ's Pleasure
AND
In Him We Have Life
AND
We Are Not To Give Unto Satan
Our Blood-Bought Selves
To Be His Stolen Treasure
AND
It Is Time
That We Take His Measure
AND
Mark Him Off
Our Lives Accounted-For-Good
Accounting Ledger!

God Cannot
Will Not
Save Man
In His Known
Relished
Unconfessed
Unrepented Of Sin
AND
Those Who Refuse To Go Humbly To God
Will See God Himself
At The Second Resurrection
- That Of The Filthy
AND
The Unrighteous -
Do A Strange Work
To Clean The Earth
Even Though
It Is Not His Desire
That Anyone
Should Perish!

Think ... Before You Act!

Get The Facts

AND

Walk Right And Holy

AND

Do Not Like Lot's Wife

At Sinning Look Back!

GREAT LESSONS: Silent Influence!

The Silent Influence
Of The Daily Life
Is To All A Great Lesson!
Lessons Taught

Expressed Sight!

The Living Word
Of The Creator God
Who Made Us
For Himself
In Abiding Love!

I Live
What I Believe!
I Give To You
What From Him
I Blessedly Received
AND
I Humbly Ask Of You
Even As I Pray To Him
Who Asked Us
The Good Word To Share:

Will You Give The Good Word

So That Another

May God's Goodness Receive

So That

Like A Pebble

On The Water's Surface

A Ripple

Will Broadly Extend

AND

Capture 

The Hearts Of Others

So That Into All The World

The Good News

The Call To Salvation May Go

For A Witness

AND

The End May Come

So That To The Heavenly Home

We May

Redeemed

Go

To Bask In Christ

In Heaven's Eternal Glow?

Heaven Awaits!
Jesus Christ IS Returning
AND
He Is Even At The Gate
AND
It Won't Be Opened
Nor Closed
Late!

So ...

Spare A Word
For Those Who Hate!
Tell The Good News
So That They Won't Suffer
Satan's Just Fate!
Sing The Song Of Salvation
For
It Is Not Yet Too Late!

SO ...

Spread The Invitation
AND
Request All To Save 
The Unknown Date
For  
Of That Time
What We Know
For Certain Sure
Is That It Will Be Soon
AND
It Could Be At Morning
At Night
Or 
At Noon!

Please
Don't Get Upset
If They Call You Looney-Tunes
Just Stick To Your Bold Message
AND
Joyously Say:

Jesus Christ

Is Coming Soon!

God Blesses Me!
I Bless You!
Will You Bless Another
So That There Be Many
To Assemble
By The Tide-less Sea?

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: The Hopscotch Board

When I Was A Child
Beneath The Age Of Consent
Running Hopscotch
Was A Thing
Where Much Time Was Spent!
Mommies And Daddies
Would Join In On Moonlight Nights
AND
Soon Everybody On The Street
Was Playing!
Oh, What A Delight!

The Goal
Was To Get From The Bottom No. 1
To The Top No. 9
AND
Return
Without Losing One's Balance
AND
Falling
For
The Master Of The Board
Was The One Who Could Reach
The Highest Number
For The Start
AND
Return
AND
Dismount From Your Number Start
Again Without
On Your Face
Falling
AND
Giving Everybody Else Observing
Playing
Something To Laugh And Shout About!

It Was Easy!
It Was Hard
AND
It Was Fun
But The Passage Of Time
Soon Made The Game A Discard!

UNTIL ...

In Adulthood
In Life
AND
In Faith
Hopscotch Returned
Forcefully
AND
Placed Me
In A Rather Peculiar Place!

If You Look
At The Hopscotch Board
You Will Note
That There Are Two Places Where
A Person Is Straddling
Two Numbers For Sure
BUT
You Will Also Notice
That
As You Start
So Do You End
In Singular Position
With No Hope
For Straddling
Even If Is You
Who
The Board Drew!

Straddling May Give Time For Rest!
Straddling May Give Time To Reflect!
Straddling Does Not Make
A Way Of Life
For
For
OR
Against
One Must A Firm 
And Upright Position
Realize!

So In Faith!
So In Belief!
Man Cannot Have Faith In Jesus Christ
AND
Expect
AND
Believe 
A Dying Mortal Man Like Himself Can
Our Life's Stresses Relieve!

Take A Good Look 
At The Fence To Be Straddled
AND
Look At Your Position 
Relative To Same
AND
Think Hard About The Position
In Which You Will Fall
When The Earthquake In Your Life
Causes You
- With Malice -
Aggressively To Fall!

If God Is God
Serve The Loving Lord Jesus Christ!
If The Devil Is God
Serve Satan Of Demonic Device
For
You Can't Wholeheartedly Embrace The Holy One
AND
Wholeheartedly Embrace The Evil One, Too
AND
Then Run Happily 
Contentedly
With All Two
For The King James Says:

Decisions Must Be Made!
BUT
Coined Heads Or Tails Cannot Be Played!
Being Wise Unto Salvation
With Mortal Head In Jesus Christ's Firm Faith 
Held High 
Above Firmly Set Shoulders
PLUS
Abiding
Obedient Love 
For Him Who Is In Everlasting Command
Is The Only Way To Reach Zion
To Forever Reside With
The Glorious Son Of Man!

Our Faith
Must Join Our Belief
AND
Educated Consumers We Must Be
OR ELSE
In The Great Shaking
- No Faking -
A-quaking
We Will Be!

So, Remember ...

Like A Game Of Hopscotch
Every Human Life Has An End
So
Be Sure Of Your Position
AND
With Wise Ways
Make Firm Provision
For Where You Will
Eternity 
Spend!

God Made!

God Gave!

God Gives!

God Forgives!

and

God Receives!

So Don't Be A Laodicean!

Go Humbly To God 

... And Truly Live!
