ATTAINMENT: Standard Of Perfection!

The Lord Jesus Christ
Raised Up The Standard
To Which I May Attain
AND
Because His Living Shows
What I Can Be
I Shall Sing His Praise
AND
Gladly Proclaim His Holy Name!

My Jesus Sees 

What I Can Be
AND

With Him Being My Example
I Can Walk Away From Darkness And Death
AND

Into The Light That Gives Life
AND

Eternal Residency
Which Is Neither A Crap Shoot
Nor A Gamble For Lost-Man Loot!

I Can Drop Off Old Bad Habits!
I Can Pick Up 

AND

Hold New And Pleasant Ways
AND
I Can Approach Unto The Heavenly Father
For
My Trust
My Hope

AND
My Faith
In My Jesus
Are Clearly Pointing Me
To The Marked

AND
Paved With Truth Glorious
Straight And Narrow Way!

Jesus Loves Me!
In Truth ... This I Know!
He Is Calling Me To Live In His Kingdom
AND

Daily
I Am Making Preparation To Go!

I Am Reading
Hearing

AND
Studying The Scriptures

AND
I Am Going To Almighty God 

For My Own Self

AND

I Am Praying The Eternal Promises
AND
I Am Removing All The False Gods
That Have Been Cluttering

AND
Abominating My Heart

AND
Turning It Into 

A Useless-Things Storage Shelf!

By God's Grace
AND

With Mercy
AND
Because Of Reciprocated Love
I Am Raising Up My Jesus-In-Me Banner

AND
I Am Walking Wise

AND
Showing To Others 

The Living God's Gracious Love! 

I Am Spreading The News Of 

The Eternal God's Faithfulness
Which To Us By Daily Mercies
Is Ever New
AND
Never Something To Be Eschewed!

Strong Is Our God
AND
Mighty To Save
AND
According To The Precious Promise
If I Die In The Lord Jesus
I - By Him - Shall Rise Again!

I Do Not Least-Count This Promise
Nor The Sacrifice Of The Giver Of The Word
AND SOI Shall Stand Firm
Upon The Rock Of Ages
For 

I Know His Word Is Truth
AND
I Do Believe That Life-Changing Word

Which Can Change Elder Or Youth!

The Savior Is Calling!
I Follow His Lead!
He Leads To All Green Pastures
AND
There
In Blessed Peace
I Safely Feed

AND
Being Ever In Need Of Refreshing
He Lets Me By Still Waters Rest
AND
I Find My Soul's Restoring
For
All Known Sin
I Do Willingly Confess!

Have Confidence In The Lord Christ

AND

Let The Living God Of The Eternal Word
Get You Out Of The World
Where Ranges The Wild Goat Herd!

Heard The Living Word?!

Love The Word Of The Everlasting?!

Then, Live

According To The Living Word 

And 

Lovingly Share The Living Word

With

The Dying Wild-Goat Herd!

Jesus Christ Utterly Saves

The Heretofore Utterly Lost!

HAPPY SABBATH + Come Ye That Love The Lord ...!

It Is Time For All Of Us
Who Are Called Christians
AND
Who Are Fundamental
In Our Beliefs
To Get Truly Serious About The Truths Written 

In The Preserved Word Of God
In The King James Bible
AND
Prepare
- By God's Great Grace -
To Do Battle With Satan
That Known Deceitful 

AND

Surely Damned Fraud!

We Need To Get Behind Our Belief
AND
Stand Firm In Jesus Christ's Faith
AND
Move With Alacrity
Powered By Firm Conviction
To Show This Dying World

That A Victory Has Been Purchased For Us

AND

That We Know

That We Are In A Victor's Race!

Think For A Moment ...

What It Is That It Truly Means
When The Eternal God

Maker Of Heaven And Earth
Asked 

The Known And Branded Dragon:

Hast Thou Considered

My Servant Job?

AND

Consider
That There Is No Way
On God's Green Earth
That Job
- Without The Living God Being For Him - 

Could Win
In Any Match Against Satan!

Almighty God

Takes Cares Of His Own!

Trust Him!

We Need To Accept 

The Truth Of The Word Which Says:

Almighty God Knows
The Beginning From The End
ANDObviously
All Points Imaginable
Unimaginable
Known To Him

Unknown To Us
In Front Of
Next To
On Top Of
Behind
Under
AND
On The Compass
AND
He Knows Who Are His Faithful Children
Whose Names Will Be In Book
When The Roll Is Called!

Brethren,

For A Lack Of Fit Superlatives

I Shall Say That

We Have The Amazing Eternal
All-Seeing All-Knowing
Ever-Present
On Time Never Late
Can't Be Surprised
Never Fooled
Can't Be Ignored
Never Thwarted
Glorious God
For Savior Redeemer
Friend
Sustainer Provider
Sanctifier Justifier
Foundation
AND
Transporter
To Everlasting Delights!

When The Living God 

Permits 

Satan
To Have A Go At You
Be Strong In The Lord
AND
In The Power Of His Might
AND
Don't Charge God Foolishly
BUT
Retain The Integrity Of Your Living Faith
AND
- Supremely Confident In The Lord Christ -
Walk In The Shadow Of The Eternal's Wing
Praise The Lord From Whom All Blessings Flow
Sing The Song Of The Redeemed

AND
Keep Marching To Zion
As You Sound The Battle Cry Of

Victory In Jesus!

As You Pray The Promises Of God
AND
Rest 

In The Peace That Defies Human Understanding!

This Battle Is Not Ours!
This Battle Is The Lord's

AND
All We That Will Not Cast Away Our Confidence

Which Has The Sure Recompense

- The Sure Payment -

Of Reward

Must Wait

Must Wait
Must Wait ... Patiently
For The Harvest Of The Earth
After Which
Is Our Day Of Celebration!

Please, Brethren  ...

Pray For Spiritual Eyes!
Pray For Spiritual Ears!
Pray For The Heart Of Flesh!
Pray For The Indwelling Of The Holy Spirit!
Pray For And Expect The Protection
Of The Holy Angels
AND
Be Not Careful How You Speak Of
AND
Stand For The Lord
When You Stand In God's Truth!

The Furnace Had The Son Of God!
The Lions' Den Had Angelic Lion-Controllers!
The Boiling Oil Ain't Had No Heat
AND
Even If You're Dying
Like Stephen
Your Comfort Is Jesus Christ Victorious
Next To The Father On That Glorious Throne
Wherefrom None Can Him Unseat!

A Strong Tower
In A Mighty Fortress
Is Our God!
He Made Us All!
He Calls The Shots

AND NOTLying Satan
That Unregenerate Fraud!

Oh, Child Of The King
Look Up
Believe And Live
For
The King Of Love
- Our Good Shepherd -
Paid With His Own Life
An Imperishable Aka Eternal Life For Us
To Win

By Acceptance And Obedience

Love And Trust

AND

Enduring Faith And Hope!

Lead, Kindly Light

Your Trembling Children In This Battle!

Lead, Shepherd Dear

Your Once Lost Sheep Safely Home!

Oh, King Of Love

Let Blessed Grace And Mercy

Be Our Forever Companions

As We Faithful

- Abiding In The Secret Place -

Use Fervent Instant Constant Prayer

As Our Royal Telephone!

Come Soon, Lord!

We Desire The Comfort Of

The Forever Home

For

We Want To Joyfully See

In Peace

The Marred Marked Face

Of

The Beloved Christ

Who

- As The Pascal Lamb -

For Our Sin

Did Willingly Atone!

Brethren,

Trust God For ...  All Things He Knows!
Trust God And ... Grow!
Trust God And In Faith
Obey
AND
All Things Endure
AND
To Heaven
- At The Last Trumpet -
We, Overcoming Believers
Shall Exulting

Go!

Almighty God

Already Knows

That In The Faith Of Jesus

You Shall Overcome

So ... Live Like The Winner

That The Almighty Knows

That In Him

You Will Be!

Trust The Word, Brethren!

Trust The Word!

Of Plausibility And Palatability! + PRAYER: ... In The Certain Hour!

Beware Of The Lofty Call

To Corporate Sin

- With Your Mouth -

That Comes

From

The Voice Of The One

The Blind World Trusts!

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

Almighty God Is Not Mocked!

I Had Received A Plate Of Falsehood!
It Had Been Vaguely Sprinkled With 

Truth
Which Had Given It ... Plausibility
AND
Rendered It ... Palatable
AND
Suitable For Dynamic Dissemination
To Questing Seniors And Teachable Youth!

I Sniffed It!
I Touched My Index Finger In It!
I Touched Said Finger To My Tempted-To-Taste Tongue

Which Immediately Had Me Spitting
As It Badly Burned My Vulnerable Palate!

'Tis Tainted!
'Tis Poisoned!
This Is Real Falsehood!

This Is Not

Can Not

Be Truth!

I Found Out

That Seasoning Falsehood With Truth
Does Not Change Falsehood's Character!
I Found Out

That I Had Something Very Precious To Lose!

I Found Out

That I Need The Very Real Truth

From The Real, True And Living Holy Eternal God Of Heaven

AND NOT

Spurious Truth Running Wild And Loose!

It Must Be Said ...

The Nature Of Deception
IS
Like Pouring Clear Poison
Into Clear Water!

On The Exposed Surface

You Cannot Tell Them Apart
BUT
You Quickly See The Effects
When Men Start Falling Down
This Life To Depart!

Please ...

Be Not Deceived By Pretty Packaging
Smooth Words

Nor
Polished Deceits
For
The End Result
Is A Lost Soul
Whom The Wicked And Damned Devil 

Did Wilfully Deceive!

Brethren Beloved,

However Unpalatable To Your Current Situation

Absolute, Fundamental, Truth May Be
Pray For God's Free-To-All Grace

AND

Confidently Swallow It!
Truth May Be Bitter In Your Mouth
BUT

It Sits Sweet In Your Belly
Like Good Honey
AND
You Won't Have On It To Bet 

Any Perishable Money!

PRAYER:

Lord Of Mercy!

God Of Grace!

Bless Your People

With Full Access To The Available Truth

And

To Continue Walking Wise With The Truth

So That We May In Peace

See Your Face!

Please Guard Us

Against The Wiles Of The Evil One

And

Protect Us From The Mixed Wine

That Is Being Liberally Poured Out

By The Modern Babylonians

Into The Consecrated Vessels

Of Your Holy Temple!

Help Us, Lord

Not To Indulge In Vain Repetitions

As Do The Heathen

For

According To Your Living Word

That Will Not Avail Us Anything

For Our Much Speaking!

Help Us, Lord

To Stand Up For The Right

Though The Heavens Fall

And

Please Keep Us In Your Care

For

We Trust You

And

Hope In Our Lord Christ

And

Stand On The Promises

And

Hold Close To Our Hearts

The Blessed Assurance Of Eternal Life!

Help Us, Lord

Not To Make Shipwreck Of Our Faith

So As To Eat Moldy Bread

And

Drink Mixed Wine Consecrated To Idols!

Pity Us, Lord

In Our Known Distress

And

Grant Unto Us

 - Who Will To Do Of Your Good Pleasure -

The Outpouring

Of

The Holy Spirit!

Let The Holy Angels Surround

Guard And Protect Us

And, Lord

Please Continue

- To Its Prophesied Conclusion -

The Good Work That Your Have Begun In Us

For

We Call You, Lord And God

In Love 

And 

For Righteousness!

Father,

Let Your Grace

Be Ever Sufficient For Us

In These Troubled Times

In Which We Live

For

Without You, Lord

We Are Well And Truly Doomed!

Help Us Not To Trust In

The Blind Guides

By Our Using Our Own

Blinded Mortal Eyes!

Help Us, Lord

To Live

In The Eternal Faith

Of

The Lord Jesus Christ!

Help Us, Lord

Not To Trust In gods

Made With Man's Hands

Out Of The Evil Imaginings

Of

Wicked Men's Hearts!

Oh, Lord

Pity The Wanderer!

Comfort The Weary!

Lift Up The Fallen!

Feed The Hungry!

Save The Repentant

And

In The Certain Hour

Redeem The Blessed!

In Jesus Christ's Holy Name

We Humbly - In Gratitude -

Pray And Earnestly Plead!

AMEN, AMEN, AMEN.

PRAYER: In This Quiet Hour ...!

Lord,

I Am Thankful For Your Grace

And

For The Fact 

That You Look Not On My Outward Appearance

And

I Ask You In This Quiet Hour 

To Look Upon My Heart

And

If There Be Any Wickedness

Or Willfulness Or Selfishness

Hiding Within Me

Please, I Beseech You

Cause It From Me To Depart!

Lord,

I Am A Child In Many Ways

And

Often Do Rightly Called Childish Things

But, Lord

I Believe You

And

I Am Willing To Listen 

And

To Be Brought Up

In Your Fear And Admonition

And

I Beseech You

Please Teach Me

Lead Me

Guide Me

So That I May Wise Up

And

From Childish Oft' Foolish Ways

Grow Apart!

Father, 

I Am A Servant Willing

Desiring To Become A Faithful Steward

For My Master And My God

And

I Beseech You

With All That Is Within Me

To Fit Me

And Equip Me

And Send Me Off

According To Your Will

And In Your Way

To Do Your Bidding

For The Eternal Kingdom

Always Faithful And Hopeful

And

Never From The Ways Of Righteousness

Ever To Depart!

Root Me, Lord

Ground Me

And

Raise Me Up

To Be A Polished And Beautiful Pillar

In The Temple Of My God

For

My Heart Trusts The Word

Of The Living God Of The Few Faithful

And

I Desire To See With My Own Eyes

- And In Peace -

The Eternal God

Whose Broken Heart

Gave New Life

To My Brethren And Me!

Father,

Please Help Me To Keep Hope Alive

No Matter What Evil

Against Which I Must Strive

So That In The Fullness Of Time

I May Ascend To Eternal Life!

Please Forgive Me My Trespasses

Against Your Holy Name

As I Confess And Repent 

For

I Love You, Lord

And

Desire In Your Sight To Be Obedient!
Let Your Mercy Continue Freely To Flow!

In The Name Of The Holy Jesus

I Humbly Pray, And Plead!

AMEN.

 

POWER, ADORATION & PRAISE: Serving The Eternal God!

Give Me Power!
Give Me Praise!
Give Me Adoration
Until My Eyes Glaze!

Brethren,

Let Us Serve God!

God Did Not Call Us To Be Served!

Power Belongs To The Almighty

AND

Prayers, Praise, Adoration And Worship

We Shall Offer Him

Until By Death

Our Eyes Glaze!

Two Different Schools!
Two Students In The Class!
One Longs For The Cloak Of Power!
One Longs For The Cloak Of Righteousness
From The Almighty Power!

Two Classes Of Men!
One Willing To Purchase Class!
One Trusting In The Merits Of Him Who
Died 
To Give Fallen Men Permanent Seats
In The Eternal Class!

Two Men!
Two Conclusions!
Only One Can Be The Right!
Will You
Brother Sister
Naysayer Friend
Choose The Conclusion
That Brings Eternal Peace
From The Forever Friend
Who Gives Life
And That
Without End?!

I Will Serve The God Of Heaven
AND
Honor The Christ Who Died For Me!
I Will Do Service
For The Salvation Of My Fellow Man
For
My Lord And My God
So Commissions Me!

Let Us Not Do An End-Run 
For The Corporeal Soon-To-Die  Power!
Let Us Do 
The Believing Man's Committed-To-Christ Walk-Of-Faith
On The Straight And Narrow Way!
Let Us Serve With Hope
Him Who Is Forever Faithful
AND
Get Out From Under The Thrall Of
The Glory-Hungry Goat!

Let The Lord Christ Cut The Choking Rope! 
Power Belongs To The Living God!
Praising God Is Faith's Reward!
Adoration Is The Gift
That Our Faith Willingly Gives To Our God
AND
Service Brings To Us
The Enduring Overcomer's Reward!

If Jesus Christ Does Not Give

IT

To You

IT

Is Not Worth Having!

BEARING A CROSS: Daily Following After Christ!

Lord, Have Mercy!

What's The Matter!

Matter?!
You Have The Nerve To Ask Me
What's The Matter?!

Shall I Repeat Myself?!

Not Necessary!

I'm Just Steamed At You ... Um, All ... Men!

Okay, Mavis.
What DID Seibert Do ... This Time?!

That Big Able Heathen
That Calls Himself A Cushion...!

Huh?!

Why Would He Call Himself A Cushion?!

Sorry!
That Chris... Ti... An
Just Told Our Son To Take Up His Cross
And Follow Him!!
What Kind Of Father Would Do That?!

Our Father
Which Art In Heaven ...!

... Why Are You Saying Your Prayer?!

I Didn't!

I Just Distinctly Heard You Say:

Our Father
Which Art In Heaven!

Yes, You Did!

So Why Were You Praying?!

I Wasn't!

Come, Now!

Seriously! I Was Responding To Your Question!

Really?

Really!

I Don't Get It!

When Last You Cracked Open The Old Bible?!

Just Last We ... Last Mon...!
What Year Is This, Again?!

2017 ... And All But Over!

I Know Now!
It Was ... The End Of Last Year!

I Shall Now Say
- In Your Behalf -
Lord, Have Mercy!

Whatever!

If You Opened Your Bible
You Would Know What God Said!

Jesus Himself Said That 

If Any Man Will Follow Him
He Must Take Up His Own Cross
Daily ...!

Who Wants To Carry A Cross Daily?!
That Don't Make No Kind Of Sense!
A Daily Cross Is A Daily Burden
And Carrying That Heavy-Tail Thing
Your Strength Is Soon Spent!

Did You Not Hear The Part

... And Follow Jesus?!

I, I, I Guess I Wasn't Really Listening!
I Could Hear The Words
But The Meaning Wasn't Coming Through!

Lord, Help Us!
We Listen But Don't Hear!
We Hear But We Aren't Listening!

I Shall Speak Slowly And Distinctly:

You Must Pick Up Your Cross
Today, And Every Day
And Daily Follow
Our Lord Jesus Christ!

There Is Strength For The Journey
AND

Courage For The Way
AND

Faithful Believers
Should Not On This Matter Delay!

If
- When - We Follow Jesus
We Shall See Persecution
AND

Bear A Cross
To Be "Nailed" To That Cross
BUT
Before That Dark Day
We Will Petition
Pray
Converse
Plead
Commune
With Our Holy God
AND

- In Perfect Obedience -
Do The Will Of The Father
AND
We Will Be Fed Of The Holy Spirit
AND
Strengthened By Holy Angels
AND
True To The Great Commission
We Will Have The Necessary Food Set Before Us

On Experience's Custom-Made Table!

There Is A Crucible For Every Christ-Following Christian

For

Perfection Is The Watchword!

Remaking Us In The Creator's Image
Is On The Trajectory
AND
For Heaven At The Last
The Conclusion Of The Days Of Faithful Endurance
Will See Us Gloriously Triumphant
On The Great Day Of Rejoicing!
That's The Blessing
For Me And Thee!

Cross-Bearers Do Not Walk Alone!

So Why Didn't He Just Say So?!

It's Hid Treasure, Baby Girl!
Hidden Treasure!
You've Got To Open The Book!

Oh.
