The Sign Post

At The Crossroads Of Hope And Glory
AND
Independence And Pride
AND
Doubt And Defiance
AND
Not Yet And Maybe Later
IS
The Sign Post
Plain To The Seeing Eye:

What Is The Point?

Is It Worth It?

Can You Pay The Price?

Was It Worth The Cost?

How Strange!

Very True!

Very True, It's Strange
Or
It's Strangely Very True!?!

Pick Your Own Poison!

Poison Kills!

So Does Ignorance
Recklessness
Willfulness
Waywardness
Wantonness
Idleness
Fullness Of Bread
Pride
Life Without The Peace Guide

AND
Letting Satan Take You For A Ride!

Whatever Must One Do?!

In Heavenly Love Abide!

Let The Spirit Of God In Your Heart Reside! 

Let The Holy Angels Influence You
So That Vain Self 

AND

Purchased Salvation
Do Not Collide

AND
Get Out Of The Dying World
So That Known Sin
Cannot Take You For The Condemned Man's Last Ride!

Bottom Line ...

In Jesus Christ

Our Savior

Lord, God

Forever Friend

Emphatically

Unreservedly

Unrepentantly

Faithfully

Contentedly

Confide!

Power: Play + PRAYER: Lord, I Beseech Your Tender Mercies ...!

Satan Displays Love For Power!
Jesus Christ Displays The Power Of Love
AND
If Humans Do Not Recognize The Stark Difference
They Will Be Ushered Into Hell
By A Bold Fallen Angel
Displaying Light

AND
Boldly Wearing The Peace Broker's White Glove!

Man Says That Power Corrupts!
Another Man Says Absolute Power Corrupts Absolutely
BUT
Truth Is

Power Is Corrupted
By The Mind Wielding The Power!

Fact ...

In The Hand Of The Sovereign God
The Absolute Power Of Love
IS
Doing
- Working -
Mightily Fine

AND
Benefitting Enormously
Those Of My Kind

Who Are The Sacrificially Beloved!

The Power Of Love
Is

The Willingly Sacrificed One
Who Readily Did All
To Save A Riven Soul
From The Apostate Bold
Whose Love Of Power
Saw Him Sacrifice His Own Creator
AND
Thereby

Put A Pin In His Very Own Existence!

Obviously
Common Sense Lacked A Working Elevator!

That Satan Is One Coldly Bold Sinful Soul!

Let All Men
Who Will To Rule
Juxtapose The Serpent And The Savior
AND
Consider Their Clothes
Which Speak To Their Character
Their Reason
Their Being
AND
Then Decide
From Which Character They Should
- With Alacrity -
Be Energetically Fleeing!

This Effort Needs No Prayer Meeting!

The Love Of Power
Is Not The Power Of Love!
The Power Of The All-Sufficient Power
IsThe Love Of The Lord Of Love! 

Draw Near, I Beseech You
Brethren Beloved!
It Is Almighty God'sTruth That I Share:

 The Prince Of Peace

Brings The Saving Grace

Of

Pitying Love

That Leads To Surpassing Glory

To All

Who Will To Walk In Godly Fear!

All That Remains Thereafter, Is ...

Sorrow, Woe, Sadness

Bitterness, Strife,

Death And Sure Damnation
To Those Who Will Not 

By The Mercy That Comes Of Grace
Choose Daily In Faith To Grow

Because

They See No Corporeal Benefit

Blessing

Power

Praise

In What Does Not Dollar Bills Show!

PRAYER:

I Thank You, Lord

For Your Love

You Mercy 

Your Grace

And

Your Power

And

I Look To The Great Day When

There Shall Be Unlocked

The Eternal Blessing Shower!

Until Then, Dear Lord

I Worship You

In Thought

In Word 

And

In Deed

And

I Beseech Your Tender Mercies

Upon This, Your Flock

Of

Lambs And Sheep

Who Look To You

To Keep Us Walking Steady

On Narrow-Path-Only Feet!

Grant Unto Us

The Victory Over Sin

That Comes Of Working Faith!
In Jesus Christ's Holy Name

I Pray And Sincerely Plead!

AMEN.

The Kindnesses Of Almighty God + PRAYER: Bless Me With All Blessing, Lord!

The Grace Of God

IS

A Kindness

To All Who Choose To Accept It

AND

Believe

That The Living God 

IS

Loving

AND

Will Answer His Hurting Child's Plea!

Truth Is The Banner!

Love Is The Shield

AND 

Mercy

AND

Grace Are Kindnesses

That The Faithful Soul

Does Daily, Indeed

From The Giving God Receive!

PRAYER:

Father,

Feed Me Every Day

Out Of Your Bounty

For

It Is With A Faithful

Believing

Longing Heart That I Earnestly Pray!

Please Bless Me With All Blessing!

Please Teach Me Your Truth

And

Please Guide Me To Safe Pasture

And

From Sin

I Beseech You, Dear Father

Please Keep Me Aloof!

I Love You, Lord

And

It Is In Jesus Christ's Holy Name

That I Ask For These Few Mercies!

AMEN.

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Almighty God Rules ... In The Affairs Of Men!

There Is An Old Adage:

Look For Trouble
And It You Shall Surely Find!

And

The Bible States:

If The Almighty God Says 

"Speak To The Rock!"Don't Bash It Repeatedly
When Anger Is In Your Spine!

If The Almighty God Says

"Walk!"That Is What You Must Do!
Do Not Mind What Others Are Doing

For
The Almighty God Says
Obedience Causes Him
To More Lovingly Care For You!

The Almighty God Raises Up Kings
AND

He Takes Kings Away!
Some Are Anointed

AND

Appointed To Bless
AND
Others Are Appointed For Our Chastisement
When From The Holy God's Tenets
We Boldly Go Astray

Willfully Sinning

Seeing Nothing About Sin To Confess!

Just Think Of King Jeroboam
Used By The Lord
With The Promise:

Obedience By You Will Be Blessed!

Look, Again, At Jeroboam
And SeeFlagrant Disobedience
After
He Started To Buy Into His Own Press!

He Considered Himself A Great Success!

Understand That ...

Any Person Willing
May Be Used ... Valiantly
In The Cause Of God
BUT

Watch The Blessing
Turned Into Cursing
When Pride
Causes A Vile Linkup
With The Wily Fraud!

The Babylonian King Nebuchadnezzar
Was Appointed To Be Blessed!
He Conquered The World
And Then AssumedThat All His Glories
Were By His Own Prowess!

But, Now ...

Look ... At His Punishment
View ... His Repentance
Applaud ... His Reappointment By God
AND

Know

Understand

Appreciate

Accept

See That

There. Is. No. Blessing.
In Less-Counting The Holy God!

Chastisement Is A Faithful Rod!

Almighty God Rules
In The Affairs Of Men!
For Good Or For Ill
He Can Appoint Even The Basest Of Men! 

A Base Man May Be Low-Born
Or

A High-Born Man Who Is Mind Is Base
AND
In Beholding Such A Circumstance

You Will Recognize That The Almighty God
Is

Sovereign
AND
You Will Know

To Keep Your Eyes Steadfastly Fixed Upon Him!

Please ...

Let Us Pray For Our Leaders
That They Permit Themselves 

To Be Used For Good

AND

By The Holy God
AND
Let Us Also Pray For Yourselves
That We Do Not Look Up To Mere Men
As We Should Look To The Saving God!

Don't ...

Pray Ill For Any Man
Because
There Is No Blessing In That!
Just Pray In Faith

For Healing!

For Heeding! 

AND
Do The Works Of Him Who Sends You
AND
Trust

AND

Obey The Lord Christ Jesus
Who Is Our Guide
Until Our Own Lives
Or
This Mortal Life Ends!

Almighty God 

Is 

Ever Always In Perfect Control

And

He Does Not Share His Glory

With False Gods

False Prophets

Beast Powers

Nor

That Dragon

Satan The Fraud

So

Look Unto Jesus Christ

Learn From Jesus Christ 

Lean Upon Jesus Christ

The Author

And

Finisher Of Your Most Holy Faith

Because

He Will Not Ever

Let You Down!

He, Alone, Wears

The Eternal Crown!

HAPPY SABBATH + Living Life By License!?!

Wise Atheist
Sure Infidel
AND
Faithful Apostate
Live Off The Living God's Dime
AND
They Don't Care 

That Almighty God Sees What They Do
AND
They Don't Fear 

What The Ever-Present God Will Do
AND
They Willingly
Wittingly
Arrogantly Share
Their Idea Of "Intelligent Truth" With The Seeking Masses
Unmindful Of The Fact That
They Are Causing Souls Seeking The Creator God
A Large Weighty Cumbersome Load
In Sorrow ... To Bear!

That Is Not Fair!

Why Don't They Care?!

Why Should They Care?!
They, In The Things Of Earth
Have Stores And Stock!
They Live Like Lions
AND
They Don't Fear To Block
Pouring Out Their Rhetoric
Their Idea Of Living Truth
AND
Saving Right
At Which Wily Satan
Roars And Racks Back
In Well-Pleased Delight!

I'll Tell You Truth ...

Less-Counting God 

Is 

The Domain Of Fools!
Denying The Eternal God's Sovereignty 

Marks Men As Really Dull Tools
AND
Those Who Don't Repent
Will Never In The King's Crown Be Jewels
For
They Do Not See The Need For Humility Of Spirit
Nor The Necessity For True-Truth
Because
Arrogance Is Their Bread

Stale Moldy
Rock-Hard
AND
They Don't Seem To 

Or Refuse To Realize
That It Will Cause Them
In This Fleeting Life
To Daily Break The Much-Needed Against-Sin Tooth!

I Guess They're Going To Gum It!

I Guess They Will, Too
For
Folly Is A Fragrance For
Those Who Choose To Do Their Own Do!

When Men Throw Off All Restraints
By Dismissing Just Laws
AND
Righteous Commandments
AND
Belittle Jesus Christ's Faith 

AND

His Followers Faithfulness

AND
Turn Away From The Living God 

AND

The Blessing God's Guidance

You Can Be Certain-Sure

That What Follows
IS
Life Lived ... By License!

You Have The License

Now State How ... You Will Travel!

As For Me
I Choose To Live Life By Faith ... Not Feeling

Lest Life Unravels!

Jesus Christ Saves!

He Blesses!

He Gives Rest

AND

All That Is Required

Is Our Willingness To Believe

So That We May Be Blessed!

Take Truth ... In The Inward Parts!

Hold Truth ... Don't Throw It Away!

Bless Truth ... It Is Your Saving Grace

And
Without It

You Will Never Physically Touch
The Lord Christ
Nor
Range About

Now-Unknown Space
Whilst Living
The Redeemed Ones' Blessed Life!

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

Put Satan In His Place

And

You Will Never
Make Shipwreck Of Jesus' Faith

Nor

Be A Cast-Out
Damned
Disgrace!

... As The Sin Of Witchcraft : Rebellion AKA Disobedience!

It Is Sad To See
BUT
Sad To Say
It Was
It Is Inevitable!

Rejecting Reproof ... From Small
Was Indulged
Over-Indulged
AND
Thought Herself Himself Themselves
The Cats Meow
The Daily Special
The Flavor Of The Month
The Trip Of A Lifetime! 

Lie!!

Rejecting Reproof
- That Rebel Without A Cause -
Was A Soldier Without A Clue
Following Not A. Friend
Arch-Deceiver
Prideful Fiend, Who
Slew The Son Of God
AND
Is Gleefully Hoping To Slay
Me And You, Too!

It Isn't As Though Rejecting Reproof Wasn't Warned!
He Was!
Numerous Times! 

But ...

As Is The Case Of The Willful
The Wayward

AND
The Wandering
Who Know Better Than The Almighty God
Rejecting Reproof Took Daily Counsel
From That Mind That Hates The Eternal God!

Things Were Good ... Seemingly!
Profits Were Perfect ... Supposedly!
Joy Was Full ... Empty, I'd Say
Because
One Beautiful Day ... To Me, At Least
Rejecting Reproof Married Loss Of Honor!

He Did A King Saul ... Boldly!

So Much For Knowing Truth
For Knowing The God Who Is Truth
From Your Youth! 

Sigh ...

Loss Of Honor
IS IS IS
A. Hussy
An. Harlot
A. Temple Whore
Who Has No Compunction About
Giving De Carnal Heart A Gore!

A Little Temptation ... Here!
A Little Tease ... There!
And ... Before Rejecting Proof Knew It
He Did The Prophet Of God's Garment
Tear!

Comeuppance Was Coming!
Of That, You Can Be Sure
For Disobedience Has A Price
AND
The Cost To Self Is Never Nice!

Wha' Sweeten De Goat Long Mout'

Does Bu'n 'e En 'e Short Tail!

The Beginning Of The Last Day
For Rejecting Reproof
Came
Without Fail!

Rejecting Reproof's Marriage
To Loss Of Honor
- Long On The Skids -

The Day Before Had Failed
AND
One Single Dark-Night Visit
To Wanda Which The Witch
Saw Rejecting Proof
Standing
- Actually Lowered -
In The Eyes Of The Lord
Ashamed!
He Was, In Essence
Not Wearing A Stitch!

It Was The Day ... Inevitable
- Battling Life From All Sides -
That
Rejecting Reproof
Forever Died!

Rejecting Reproof Boldly Hooked His Star
To Loss Of Soul
AND
His Descent To Damnation
Was Hot!

Lukewarm!

Cold!

Warning ... 

Doing Your Do
Does Damage
As Doing Your Do Against God ... MUST
For
You Are Not Your Own
So Doing Your Own Do
Must 

Assuredly Be A Bust!

Lucifer Tried 

AND 

Miserably Failed
AND, YOU - Made A Little Lower Than An Angel -
Will, Too
So
Accept The Lord's Prohibitions
Because
He Sacrificially Loves
AND
Blessedly Cares
For Fallen Man
Aka
Me And You!

Fact, Not Faction Nor Fiction ...

There Is No Return From Loss Of Soul
So
Don't Be Ignorant Of The Truth!
Loss Of Honor May Put You In A Grave
BUT
Loss Of Soul
Is A Permanent Bath
In The Consuming
Prepared-For-Satan
Fire And Brimstone Lake!

Don't Make That Mistake!

Tek De "No!"
From Almighty God
AND
Humbly Grow ... In Grace
AND
In The Fullness Of Time

- In Glorious Peace -
You Shall See The Glorious King's Face!

PRAYER:

Father, 

You Are My God

And

I Worship You!

Help Me To Accept Your Answers

Written Plain

So That I May Not Be A Friend To The World

And

End Up Warring Boldly

Against You!

Grant Me Your Grace

Your Faith

Your Mercy

To See And Accept Truth

Uncolored

Unpolished

Unambigious

So That I

Striving To Live Right

And

To Be Righteous

Will Never Find Myself

In The Court Of No Recourse

Defending Myself

In The Case Known Indefensible!

Teach Me Your Way, Lord

And

Help Me To Walk In It!

In Jesus Christ's Name

I Humbly Pray And Plead!

I Love You, Lord!

Have Mercy And Bless!

AMEN.

Among God's Perfect Gifts + PRAYER: Father, We Will To Be Like Jesus!

Companions
Hard To Find!

To All Mankind!

Live Simply
AND
Love Generously
Care Deeply
AND
Speak Kindly
Are Cautions 
- Not Cliches -
AND
Are Never To Be Called Ways Asinine!

Live Simply

Love Generously
Care Deeply
AND
Speak Kindly
Are Needed By All
Who Desire Themselves
By Jesus Christ The Lord
To Be Refined!

Sister Brother
Beloved Friend, Mine
Take This To Heart
AND
Do Not After The World's Follies Repine
For
The Day Is Coming
AND
Is Already Here
When Ownership Of This And That
Is Going To Disappear!

All That We Own From Man Are Loaners
BUT
All That We Own From Almighty God
Are Gifts
To Be Prized 
Cherished
Shared
Expended For Free
For
It IS God Almighty
Who Daily Feeds
Me And Thee!

Simply Kind
AND
Deeply Generous
Are Blessings To Man
From The Hand Of The Divine!
Be A Blessing Today
AND
For Your Fellow-Man
Have A Care
AND
Dare To Be Like Christ Jesus
AND
The Love Of The Lord
Share!

Let's Pray:

God Of Mercy

Lord Of Love

We Long In Peace

To See Your Face!

Help Us Not To Commit Sins Of Commission

And

Please Help

Not To Commit The Sins Of Omission

Where We Neglect

To Do The Thing Just

Good And Right

Forgetting Our Fellowman

And

Ignoring The Fallen Brethren's Plight!

Help Us To Be Like Our Master Christ Jesus

Who Clearly Marked For Us A Way

And

Help Us To Walk Right In It

So That We Don't

For Our Sins

Have To Pay!

Teach Us Your Way, Lord

And

Help Us To Live Faithfully In It

Ignoring The Calls Of The Flesh

So That We Don't Give In To It!

Bless Us WIth Your Joy

Your Peace

Your Rest

And

Let Hope Spring Eternal In Our Hearts

Until The Great Day Of Rejoicing Comes

And

We For Highest Heaven

Joyfully Depart!

In Jesus Christ's Holy Name

We Pray And Humbly Plead!

We Love You, Lord!

Have Mercy And Bless!

AMEN.

Which IS ... Is The Real True Living Eternal Holy God Of Creation?!

God IS!
Satan IS!
The Great Question IS
Which IS Is Holy Faithful True
AND
Which IS Isn't!?!

One IS Gives And Takes And Gives, Again!
One IS Takes And Takes And Takes, Again!
The Great Question IS
Which IS Will You Trust!?!
Will You Trust The IS That Gives And Gives, Again
OR
The IS That Takes And Takes, Again!

One IS Is The Under-Taker!
One IS Is The Undertaker!
One IS Undertakes To Excavate A Sinner From Under Sin
While The Other IS Undertakes To Extricate
The Sinner From The Grace That He Is Under!
The Great Question Is
Which IS Will You Live Under!?!

If The Holy God Is The IS
That Is Your Master
Then
You Are His Slave! 

If Satan The Fraud Is The IS
That Is Your Master
Then
You Are His Slave!

Can Your IS Save You
From Death And The Grave
Hell And Damnation!?

Can Your IS Create For You A New Life
Where Your Soul Is Free
From Sorrow Pain And Strife
From Sickness Suffering Shame And Disgrace
While
Giving You Peace And Perpetual Rest
AND
A Permanent Place In The Paradise
Accessed Only By Faith
Trust Obedience Willing Worship
AND

Uncoerced Love?!

Does Your IS Live To Make Intercession
For The Personal You?!

Okay. Okay!

I'm Hearing You

But You Need To Back It Up A Bit!
Tell Me More About The Gives Takes Gives, IS!

The Eternal God
Gives ... Life ... For You To Start Living!
Takes ... Sin ... When Under His Banner You Start Living!
Gives ... Immortal Life ...  And Eternity 

To Those Working Waiting Watching Faithful
Who By Enduring All Things
In His Name
AND
For Love
Have Gotten Victory Over Sin!

So What Does The IS That Takes Takes Takes, Do?!

That Other IS Takes You

Your Faith Trust
AND

Your Life Into Willful Sin
Takes Your Very Life After He Encourages You To Willfully Sin
Takes Your Present Opportunity For Salvation
AND
Your Hope For Eternal Life

AND
Takes You On A One-Way Ride To Damnation
No Hope Of Recovery!

Impossible!

Not Only Possible But, Unfortunately, True!

He'll Give You A Few Shiny Things
A Few Big And Posh Things
A Solidly Hollow Bank Roll
And, Then
He'll Roll Up The Welcome Carpet
As He, Before The Living God
Claims The Right To Your Purchased By Christ
Rented By The Devil, Soul! 

That, My Friend, Is His Only Goal!

One IS Loves Man!
One IS Hates The IS That Loves Man!
One IS Hates The Man That The Other IS Loves!
One IS Sacrificially Protects Man!
One IS Sacrifices Man!

One IS Is The All Seeing
All Knowing
All Feeling
Ever Present
Creator Sustainer 

Redeeming Almighty God!

One IS 

IS

The Liar
The Murderer
The Serpent The Snake
The Deceiver
The Adversary Of Souls
The Fraud
Who Desires That Man Worship Him
As Man Worships The Living Holy God!

He Is The Snake!

A God-Fake!

I Don't Like That Second IS!

It Is Good That You Say That

For

That Second IS ... Satan

Is Always On The Attack!

He Lives To Destroy!

To Hurt

To Kill

AND

He Has No Qualms About Destroying Humans

For

With Hatred Of Mankind

His Stomach Is Substantially Filled!

Fair Warning ...

Satan Was Created

Perfect

Until Iniquity Via Self-Love Was Found In Him!

His Pride And Beauty

Caused Him Against The Holy God To Plot!

Even Christ The Lord

He Did Kill!

Man Is Made A Little Lower Than Angels

AND

Man Is Not Match For The Rogue

The Fallen Angel Bold

So

I Beseech You, Brethren

Do Not Choose To Converse

Commune

Conduct 

Negotiations With The Fraud

Because

You Are The Purchased Property Of

The Holy God

Who Blesses Us One And All!

So ... What's Left?!

Reach Out To Jesus Christ The Lord

Who Is Waiting ... Eagerly

To Answer Your By-Faith Call!

Do Not With Satan Play Dodge Ball!

Because, Because

You Will Inevitably Fall!

Heed The Salvation Call Of Christ

Who, For Love

Paid Your Bride Price!
