A Singular Blessing!

Children Of The Father
Listen Unto Me!
There Is A Blessing
If You Walk Not
In The Counsel Of The Ungodly!

That Blessing Hinges On One Step Further
Requiring
That You Stand Not
In The Way Of Sinners
AND
That You Sit Not In The Seat
Of Those With Scornful Ways
AND
It Is Grand
In The Outpouring
Contrasting
Our End
With The End
Of Those Whose Walk Is
- By Studied Choice -
Is Not Godly Nor Chaste!

The Godly Delight
In The Law Of The Lord
AND
Meditate Upon God's Law
Day And Night
AND
God's Blessing
Makes Us Grow
Like Trees Planted
Where Rivers Of Water Flow
So That In Our Due Season
Our Leaves Having Not Withered
We -  Each - Shall Bear Good Fruit
AND
Everything We Do
- Individually -
Shall Prosper
For The Living God Says So!

We All Would Do Well
To Carefully Note
AND
Compare By Contrast
That
Stagnant Water
Does Not Run
AND
Its Note Of Distinction Is
That The Stench It Produces
Is Not To Observers
AND
Passersby's Nostrils
Aromatically Pleasant
Nor Fun!

Therefore ...

In The Eye Of The Beholder
The Sight Is As Offputting
As Is The Smell
Rendering
The Stagnated Ungodly Sinful Scorner
Unfit
In Heavenly Realms
Among God's Righteous People
To Sublimely Dwell!

In The Old Days
The Grandparents Used To Say That:


"Scornful Dog Does Eat Dirty Pudding!"

AND

That Statement Is As True As
John 3 Verse 16
For
Without Spiritual Discernment
We Can't Tell Clean From Unclean
AND
Our Unwillingness To Be Taught
Of The Holy God
Will Leave Us In A Place
Where Fools Have Always Stood!

An Ungodly Person
Has Himself For His Own God
AND
For This Abomination
Will Glean For Himself
The Just Reward Of The Fraud!

Let Us Not As Christ's Followers
Adopt The Ways Of The Illuminated World
Tearing Down The Temple Of The Holy God
AND
Raising Up Temples
To Demons
AND
Demon-Possessed Humans
Masquerading As Saviors Of The World
That They Themselves
Are Indignantly Destroying
Directed By King Fraud
Deceiver Of All Men
Who Forsake Our Holy Lord
The Eternal God!

God
In Prophecy
That Is ... History In Advance
Made It Clear
To Revelation's Hearers And Readers
That He Will Destroy Those Who
Would Destroy The World!
God Has Reserved Unto Himself
That Particular Working
You See
AND
Men Would Do Well
To Walk True
AND
Before God ... Holy!

Day Runs
Until Day Catches It!
A Balloon Floats
Until A Pin Bursts It!
Satan Now Gloats
BUT
One Day Soon
He Will Be Burning Like Forgotten Toast
AND
All The Faithful
Will Be Resident In New Jerusalem
With Jesus Christ
The Conquering King
As Our Host!

A Blessing Is Offered!
Will You Believe
AND
Receive
Or
Will You Be Presumptuous
AND
Let
Satan You Deceive?

Jesus Is Soon Coming!
The Wicked Are Primed
AND
Getting Fat
So
Be Faithful To The Father
AND
Upon Purged Ways
Do Not Look Back!

Faithfulness Has Its Own Reward
AND
So Does Wickedness, Too
So
Please Look Unto Jesus Christ
The Righteous One
Who Loves
AND
Daily Feeds
AND
Graciously Blesses You!

HAPPY SABBATH + Today Is ... The Day!





Tongue
Head 
Heart
Hand 
AND
Feet
Were In The Same School
BUT
A Certain Somebody In The Midst
Was Not Willing To Be There!

That Somebody
Has A Penchant For Self:

Self-Aggrandisement
Self-Glorification
AND
Self-Seeking!

That Somebody Also
Always
Takes Pleasure
In Setting Up For Fire
Lighting Fires
Fanning Flames
Throwing Gasoline On Fire
AND
Blocking Rescue Workers
By Barring The Way Plain!

You Should Know That ...

Today Had Started No Differently
Than 10,000 Days Before
BUT
Today Is Seriously Different
For
The Master
- The Head Master -
Just Walked In The Door
ANDIn The Graphic Silence
You Would Have Heard
A Pin ... Drop!

Blessings Be Upon You!
Today Is The Day
That You Shall Give Your Personal Report Card!
Now Is Your Time

To Have Your Say!

Know Of A Surety
That Your Own Words 

Will Accuse
Or
Commend You!
Your Report Card
Is Your Own Soul's Recording
AND
Is Bolstered
Buttressed
By The Truth!


Please Begin!


Like Deer In Headlights
BUT
With Awareness
That One Can Bespeak
Each One In The Class
Gave Personal Testimony Against Self
AND THEN Boy, Oh, Boy
It Was Tongue's Time To Speak!

No Glibness!
No Snideness!
No Blitheness!
No Gloat!
You Would Not Believe
It Was The Tongue Talking
He Who Epitomised
Goat ... For A Groat!

It Was Off The Chain Amazing!
It Was Just Plain Beautiful
To See That Despised Pyromaniac
Humbled
By His Own Confession
Aka Report Card!

WOW!He Had A Truth Attack!

The Head Master
Then Made Recommendations
For Elevating The Working Self
In The Service:

Feet Were Shod For Delivering
The Gospel Of Peace!

Hands Were Designated
Helping! - What A Treat!

Head Was Cautioned!
Cautioned!
Cautioned!
To Ever Reason With The Lord!

Heart
- That One Who Indulged Deceit
AND
Was Desperately WickedAND
Coddled Evil -
Was Implored
To Open Its Door
To The Knocking Christ
Who Would Hold Him Safe
Gently
Comforted
In His Holy Hand!

As For Tongue ...

That Tongue Needed To Be Educated
AND
Disciplined
AND
Trained
To Speak Of The Glories Of
The Living God's Heaven
AND
To Spread Abroad
The Matchless Love Of The Lord Jesus Christ!
It Was To Have A Brand New Living!

That Tongue Said Afterwards
That He Was Truly Ashamed Of Himself
But Nevertheless
Felt Truly Blessed
For Now!
Now!
Now!
He Has An Opportunity
To Bless
AND
To Stop Creating
A Whole Lotta Mess!



Who Would Have Guessed
That Under The Tutelage
Of God's Holy Spirit
A Tongue
A Wild Tongue
A Tart Tongue
A Malicious Tongue
An Unholy Tongue
A Spiteful Tongue
A Lying Tongue
A Tongue
- By Man -
Untameable
Could Be Made Useful
In The Service Of Him
Who Specializes
In Making Man Anew?!

Goes To Show ... God Is Able!!

BECAUSE They Trust God!

The Bible Does Not Say
May Be
Probably
Almost
Could Be!
It Emphatically Says:

BUT
The Salvation Of The Righteous
IS
Of The Lord:
He IS Their Strength
In The Time Of Trouble!
(Psalm 37:39)



Does This Not Say To You
That There Are Those
... Other Than Righteous
AND
There Is Ever A Time Of Trouble
... In The Life Of The Righteous?

We Who Have Chosen
To Be Chosen By God
Have Answered The Call
Of God's Holy Spirit
AND
Have Wittingly Turned Our Backs
To The Roaring Fraud!

We Do Not Stand Upon Ceremony
Indulging
In False Piety
BUT
Lean Heavily
Upon The Strong Arm
Of The Jealous God
Who Inhabits Eternity
While Able Also
To Live In Me And In Thee!

We Do Not Hold To The Doctrine Called:

Aversion To Self-Denial


AND
We Do Not Gravitate
To The Smooth-Things
Ticke-My-Ears Church
For Thereby

- In Our Lives -
That Renders
Null And Void
The Reason For Jesus Christ's
Birth Work
AND
Unto-The-Death
Criminal Trial!
Oh, Perish That Denial!

We Walk In The Light
Uncomfortable Though It Be
For
Our God Commands It
IF
We Will Live Lives Godly
For
A Child Of The Light Of Life
Cannot Inhabit Darkness
Neither Can He With Death Play
Believing
It Is No Issue
AND
Cost-Less!
Doing Such Is Altogether Useless
AND
Foolish, I Say!

Light Has NO Consort With Darkness!
Death Has NO Consort With Life!
Jesus Christ Brooks NO Consort With The Devil
AND
We Cannot Call God's Truth
A Fair Lie
AND
Believe That We Will To Have Fly!

Straight Is The GateAND
Narrow Is The Way
AND
Few There Be That Find It
For
Convenience By Accommodating Self
To The Ways Of Sinful Man
Will Have Leave Man
With No Short Back And Sides
To Keep Sin-Obscuring Long Hairs
From Blinding 
That Through Which Man Sees  ... His Sin-Clouded Eyes!

Brethren ...

Oh, TasteAND
See
That The Lord Is Good
AND
Feel Free
To Call On The Shepherd
Who Saved Noah From The Flood!

And, For Good Measure  ...

Be Pleased
To Lean On The Branch
That Drew Water
From The Rock
AND
Rest
AND
Abide In The Guide
From Whom Our Wants
Are Lovingly
- Daily -
Supplied!

Satan Lied!
Christ Died!
BUT
By The Grace Of God
Is Hope For Heaven Supplied
To Those Who
Away From Corroding Sin
Breathe
Free Salvation's Air
Rarefied!

Give (Of) Your Self To The Master!


In Plain Language
King David Said: (Psalm 28:7)


The LORD IS My Strength
And My Shield!

Curiously
He Then Says:


My Heart TRUSTED In Him
(Past)
And I AM HELPED
(Present / Ongoing)!

What, Brethren, Can We Infer From This Statement?

To Me
David Gave Of Himself
- Via His Trust -
Completely  ... To His God!
His Trust Was Not Fickle
Depending On Rewards!
His Trust Was His Standard
For
Living-God Worship
And, Thereby 
He Followed After
The Eternal Holy God!

To Be Called
A Man After God's Own Heart
Is Not Hollywood Hubris
But The Designation
Laid
By The Holy God
Upon A Man
Whose Soul ... Tried
Was To Him
Tied
AND
Fully Invested!

To Really Know God
Is To Really Love God
Is To
- With Full Assurance Of Ultimate Victory -
With No Shadow Of Turning Aside
To Fables And Flatteries
Trust God ... And Go!
AND
Be!
AND
Do!

Look At The Time
When The Child Of David's Sin Was Languid!
Failing Fast!
Ready To Go To His Long Sleep!

David Prayed!
David Fasted!
The Child Died!
David Got Up
Cleansed Himself
AND ... Ate?!

Look At When, In Vanity
Against Common Sense
Against Wise Counsel
David Numbered The People
Because Satan Had Risen Up Against God's People!

He Was Given A Choice Of
Three Terrors:


Three Years Of Famine
Three Months Running From Evil Men
Three Days Of Plague From The Hand Of God!

David Chose Time
Under The Hand Of God
BECAUSE
He Personally Knew
The God Of Mercy
AND
He Lovingly Trusted
In The Almighty God's Mercy
To Remember
That He Was A Mere Man
Weak
Dying Daily
AND
This Is Why He Could Say
To That Same God:


Show The Measure Of My Days
That I May Know
How Frail I Am!

Only A Man
With An Intimate Knowledge
Of This Personal God
Could Ask So Bold A Question!

Do You Know The God Of Heaven
Really Personally
Or
Is He To You
A Passing Acquaintance?

I Have Always Laughed
At The American Penchant
For Calling A Person
A Personal Friend!

Isn't Friendship
- By Designation -
Personal?!

What Is The Difference Between
A Friend
AND
A Personal Friend?

Which Type "Friend"
Is That Friend We Call By Name
Jesus Christ?
Take A Moment
To Know Your Truth!
AND
God's
AND THEN
Let's God's Truth
Reign
Rule
Guide
AND
Bless Your Life!!


Give Of Yourself To Our Master
And
Satan Can't Fool You
With Another Jesus
Nor
With Another Truth!

Give Of Yourself To Our Master
And
Live
- After Death -
In Eternal Youth!

The In-Thing: SIN!







SIN - Satisfaction Is A Necessity!
SIN - Stuff Is Necessary!
SIN - Self Is Needy!


Sin Ain't No Biggie!

Are You Out Of Your Mind?
Whatever You Are Drinking
Smoking
Eating
Or Anointing Your Self With
You Seriously Need To Stop!
You Really Need Jesus!

Come Onnn ...
A Little Sin Ain't Never Hurt Nobody!

Is That Right?!

Suure!
You Live A Little!
You Sin A Little!
You Pray A Little
And
If Necessary
You Confess ... A Lot!

Lord Jesus, Have Mercy!
Sit Here! Sit Down!
Sit Down Before You Fall Down!

Do Not!
Do Not!
Do Not Ever Let Me Hear You Say Those Words Again!


Look Around You!
Can't You See The Result
Of A Little Sin?!


You Have Been Indulging Yourself
AND
Imbibing The Wine Of Babylon
- Confusion -
AND
Revelling In The Sin
That "Little Sin" Called Presumption!




A Little Sin Cost Adam And Eve
 ... Eden!


A Little Sin Cost Lucifer 

... His Position In Heaven!

A Little Sin By Cain Cost Abel 
... His Life!

A Little Sin In Sodom And Gomorrah Cost Them 
... Eternal Life!

A Little Sin On Earth Cost God 
... Jesus Christ's Life!

**--**--**--**--**

Sin In Man's Life IS Strife!



A Little Sin ... Unconfessed
Will Cost You
Your Share In Christ's Life
For
Presumptuous Sin
Is A Thing
That Grows Wings

AND
When You Think You Are In The Clear

You - Appalled - Discover
It Has Taken Over Your Living Room

AND
Is Proudly Sitting
In Your Comfy Chair
Displaying To The Cruel World

The Seat Of Your Dirty Underwear!

Ewww!
Ugly Picture!
Wipe My Eyes!

True Picture!
Let Jesus Christ Give You A Clean Heart!

Christ IS Our Sin Bearer!
We Are Sinners All

BUT
Jesus Made A Transaction
To Clean Us
From The Effects
Of The Fall!

If Sinner
Gives Sin-Bearer
His Burdens
Sin-Bearer Gives Sinner
A Bright Blessing In Exchange
BUT
Willful Sin
Has Its Own Rewarding
AND
That Is Being Cast Out
Into Outer Darkness
From Which
There Is No Diminution Of The Shame!

When You Have To Eat
What You Buy
Calling Garbage ... Apples
Won't Make It A Pie!

I Love, Love, Loove Apple Pie!

Love Your Pie
BUT
Don't Build Your Castle
On A Slick-Willy Lie!

If You Love Jesus
Change Your Ways!

If You Desire Heaven
Put Playing With Sin
In The Grave!

Do Not Be A Slave!
Heaven Is With Gold Paved

AND
A Confessed Repentant Sinner 
Leaning On Jesus
Will Have An Eternal Home
In The Peaceful Enclave!
Be Brave!
Jesus Loves You

AND
Jesus Saves!

I Hear Youuu!

Don't Just Hear Me!
Do!

I Will!
I Promise You!



Give Jesus Your Intoxicating Wine
And
Receive His Water Of Life!

Counterfeit!!

The Palettes Were All Laid Out!
Painting Class Was Going To Be Good Today!
The "Drawings" Of Jesus
We Had Finished Yesterday
Were To Be Painted
According To Our Experience Of Him
So The Teacher Did Say!

I Was Excited!
I Was Going To Paint My Jesus Quite Fine:

White Robe Of Righteousness - Freely Available
To Me!
Blue Border For His Law
Which In Love I Now Follow Gladly!
Bronze Skin For He Is
The Everyman-Is-Welcome God
AND
I Wanted To Do 
The Scarlet Pomegranate Broidered Work
Indicative
Of His High Priestly Work
Interceding For Me!

I Was Ready!

But ...

Something Really Strange
Was Happening
Had Happened
To My Paints!

Every Color ...
White
Blue
Bronze
Red
When Mingled With Water
Stained The Picture
The Same Technicolor Hue!

What Meanest This? I Cried.

My God Is Real
Simple
Orderly
Gentle
Soft Spoken
Kind!

What Meanest
This Striding Peacock
This Technicolor Nightmare
This Colorization Of The Very Devil
This Tainted Spectacle
That In Me
Inspires Fear?!

Suddenly ...

I Heard The Laughter!

I Should Have Known!

The Devil Dogs
Were In Battle-Ready Array!

They Were Pointing
AND
Laughing At Me
Trying To Inspire
In Me
Ungodly Fear!

Hear Them ...

You Wouldn't Join Us
So We've Restained
The Colors
That Are Used To Orderly-Paint
Your By-The-Book God
For
He Offends Our Sensibilities
So He
- To Us -
Is Not - Authentically -
Who We Shall Call God!

Too Many Do's!
Too Numerous Don'ts!
Too Much Straight Talking
And
Not Enough Feel-Good Dope!

The Colors Of Our Rainbow
Make That God Appear
Really Cool
And Now The Jesters
Around The Town
No Longer
Are Called Fools!

Nothing Done In Consenting Flesh
Can Ever Be Again Called Abominable
Sin
And
Man Taking The Lofty Place
Of The Once-Glorious God
Now Lowly
Is Now The Best
The Most
Acceptable Thing
Around Town!

No More Long Talk
Nor More Too-Deep Thinking!
It's All About The Feels!

Yeah For The Feels!

I Felt Water On My Face
BUT
I Was Not In Anger Crying!

I Was Saddened
Hurting
For These Deluded Ones
Who Were The Good Lord
- By Right -
- Birth Right -
Denying!

Nothing Done
By Mere Men
Or Devils
Can Change Anything
Sealed
AND
Settled
In Holy Heaven!

God Reigns!
God Rules!
God IS!
I Wish They'd Buy A Clue
For
What God Is
What God Has Done
No Created Being
Can Ever Change
Or
Cause To Be Undone!

Brethren,

Colorizing A Black And White Picture Reel Does Not Make It A Technicolor Movie!

When You Do Not Know
The Real God
The Real Jesus
AND
The Real Holy Spirit
AND
Are Not Protected By The Real Holy Angels
Influencing You Towards Good
Fakery Is Fabulosity
Good Is A Grabbit
AND
God
Is Whatever, Whoever, Wherever, Why-Not, Whosoever Will
Paints It Him Her They
According To Want, Desire
Inclination
Ordered Specification
Trend, Trap
Or Felt Need!

Would You Know Your Holy Jesus
IF
You Met Him
At The Jesus Look-Alike Convention?

Would You Know Your Jesus
IF
He Is Placed Amongst The Goat Herd
IF
His Still Small Voice Is Not Like Them
Boisterously Heard?

Would You Know Your Jesus IF All He Does In The Moment Is Gently Call Your Name?

Will You Know, Own, King Jesus Even Though All The Learned And Illuminated Ones
Speak That Name With Accorded Shame?

Would You Trust A Known Forger To Exchange Your Two Very Real $50.00's 
For A Single $100.00 Bill?

If  You Would Not, Then Don't Trust "Another" With The Salvation Of Your Soul!

I Beseech You, Please Go To Jesus Christ - By Faith - Directly AND HeWill Get You Safely Home
With All The Others In The Remnant Flock's Fold!

Learn The True To Detect The False AND You Will Know Your Father In Heaven
Ain't No Red-Suited, Chubby Cheeked, Black-Booted, Cookie-Eating, Rotund, House-Breaking
Santa Claus!

The Old Saying Goes ...

If It Walks Like A Duck
Quacks Like A Duck
AND
Dumps Like A Duck
It Is A Duck

BUT


I Hasten To Add ...

When Your Duck
Refuses His Bath
AND
- As Does A Rooster -
Starts To Crow
You Know Your Duck Ain't Got No Waddle
AND
His Clothing Is Just For Show!

Life ... Like ... Live ... Lie!

It Is Appointed
ONCE
That Man Shall Die!
This Is The First Death
In Which All Have Stock
Because
All Are Born In Sin
AND
Our Nature Is On Lock!

By One Man Came Death!
You Can't Make An Appointment
For None Know The Day
Unless You Are Suicidal
AND
Hasten Your Own Life Away!

The Second Death
IS
The Punishment ... For Sin
Of Those Who
- Deliberately -
Choose
Not To Accept
The Blood-Bought Pardon
Of Jesus Christ Who
Shed His Own Blood
On The Cross
Our Salvation To Ensure!
Death Is The Result Of Sin

AND
Jesus Christ IS The Cure!

By One Man Comes Life!
Thou Shalt Not Surely Die
Is Assuredly
The First Lie
Perpetrated By
Satan
- Of Eternal Shame -
Who Is Ever Willing
The Image Of God
To Shame
AND
God's Name
To Defame!

You Know That
We Have A Real Problem
When A Created Being
- From The Hand Of God -
Sees Nothing Wrong
With What He Is Doing
When He Tells Lies
On Almighty God
The Lord!

Those Who Die In The Lord
Will Awaken
At The Sound Of That Voice
AND
Will Be Accompanied By Their Angelic Companion
Who Walked With Them
Until The Day
They Gave Up The Mortal Coil!

The Graves Of The Saints Are Marked
AND
Not One Will Be Forgotten

AND
No Lying Devil
Can Stop A Saint
From Getting Up
No Matter How Much
In Their Lives
He Tried To Make Them Mess Up!

But ... Woe ...

To The Unrepentant Sinner
Who Can Not See His Need
To Stand Up The Devil
By Bowing Before The Lord
To Plead
For Salvation
Forgiveness
Restoration
AND
For Redemption
In The Great Day
Preferring
To Trust The Word Of The Fallen Cherub
AND
Choosing
The Sin-Day Self-Pay Play!

For Sin
Man Shall Surely Die
BUT
By Confession
Repentance
AND
Enduring Faith
- For Salvation Through Jesus Christ Our Lord -
Man Shall SURELY Fly

AND
That Is Not A Lie!

Lying Is A Sin
AND
If You Lie
To Sin You Gave In

So
Sicc The Good Lord
On The Dread Doctor Of Spin

AND
Walk Faithfully
With The True God

AND
You Will
Into Heaven
Have The Right
To Walk In!

Outside Are Dogs
Whoremongers
... Liars ...!

AND
All Such Like
For Whom
The Lake Of Fire
IS
Eternal Death
Separation
From
The Lord Of Light

AND
Eternal Life!


The "F" In Life
Is For
Our Faith In Jesus Christ!

The "K" In Like
Is For
Our Knowledge Of The Holy!

The "V" In Live
Is For
Victory Over Sin!
Remove
Faith
Knowledge
And
Victory
AND
You Have
A Life That Is Empty
And
Is Made Up Of
 LI E!
LI E!
LI E!

Is There Any Wonder ... Now
Why Many Men
Lie And Die?!

**--**--**--**

Stand Up For Jesus
AND
Rise Up To Eternal Life!
