The L. I. P!?!

JESUS CHRIST SAVES!!

Licentiousness
Idolatry
Presumption
Caused Many Of The Hebrews
In The Wilderness To Fall
So, My Brother And My Sister, Dears
For These Reasons
I Have Come Upon You To Call!

LIP! LIP!
I Tell You Quite Plain
Is 

Not Something The Godly Brother Sister
Should Fail To Hold In Disdain
Because 
These Three Are Demon-Inspired
And
Cause Sinners To Be Bold
And
Upon Such As Those Who Follow Their Lead
Almighty God's Vengeance Shall Assuredly Reign Down Fire Hot
And

Definitely Not Ice Cold!

As Always ...

It's The Belly

The Eye

And
The Heart
That Causes Man To Recklessly Sin
To Reject Truth

And
To Walk In The Dark Denying Wisdom's Light
And
Attach Oneself To That Which Brings Only Soul Blight

And
Leading One Into Outer Darkness
Blacker Than The Darkness Night!

Loose Lips Sink Ship
But
These LIPS Aren't Loose:

They're Licensed To Destroy

And
We're Definitely Not On A Ship
Unless Of Course ... Misguided
It Is The Ship Of The Sinful Estate
Which Leads One Daringly To The Lake Of Fire

And
Most Assuredly

Not To Heaven's Pearly Gates!

Deny The Base Liar

And

His L.I.P!

Health And Cure!?!

Sin

- The Known Pathogen And Carcinogen -

Is

The Disease!

Jesus Christ The Righteous

Is

The Only Known Cure!

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

Macy Is A Bad Diabetic!
He Has The Appropriate Medication
But
He Belligerently Refuses To Take The Medication
Saying:

"I'm Taking A Vacation!"

His Vacation Has Been A Protracted One!

He Ignores The Entreaties Of Family And Friends
And
His Lack Of Due Care And Diligence 

Is 

Starting To Bite Him!

He Has Been To The Emergency Room
By Ambulance
Several Times In The Very Recent Past!

His Latest Visit Was Yesterday!
His Blood Sugar Was A Signal 800!

Heavily Medicated
He Is Presently "Warming" A Hospital Cot!
Things Are Not Looking Up!

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

Hartley Was Born In Sin!
By Both Inherited And Cultivated Habits
He Is A Brash And Bold Sinner!

He Was Raised To Know Of Christ Jesus!
His Granny-Ma Taught Him To Pray!
He Learned His Bible Verses At Sunday School, First
And 

Then At Sabbath School!

His Present Lifestyle Is Raising Eyebrows!

Side-Eye Greets Him At Church!
He Was Defrocked As A Church Elder!

He Got Re-Baptised After Entering  A Lengthy Period Of Counseling!
He Received The Right Hand Of Fellowship
But
Time Is Showing That He Has Not Humbled Himself
Under The Mighty Hand Of God!

Hartley Is No Longer An Elder
But
He Demands That The Pastor In The Pulpit
And
The People In The Pew
Address Him As Elder Should They Wisely Desire
To Have Edifying Converse With Him!

He Is Turning The Church Into A Battle Field
Even As He Tells Others That:

"Jesus Christ Saves!"

And To

"Trust The Word!"

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

Jesus Christ The Lord

The Righteous Judge

The Good Shepherd

The Creator God

Our Savior, Redeemer And Friend

Is 

The Great Physician!
He Promises His Faithful People Health 

And 

Cure!

The Good Book Of The Gospel 

Is 

The Efficacious Medicine
And
The Heart Repentant Of Sin 

Is 

The Spoon Into Which The Medicine Is Poured For

Perfect Dissemination To The Whole Body Of 

The Sinner Saved!

The Prayer Of Faith 

Is 

The Buffer Against Which The Disease Called Sin
Cannot Hope To Breach
And
Listening To The Gospel Truthfully Preached
And
Hearing The Testimonies Of Over-Comers
Encourages Working Faith
So That Into Complacency Over Evil
We Do Not As Those Inebriated
Fall Deeply Into Unprofitable Sleep!

Singing The Songs Of Zion Are A Tasty, Tasty, Treat!

The Great Physician's Tools Of The Trade ...

• Truth And Light
• Faith And Prayer
• Willing Forgiveness And Sure Salvation
• Accepted Repentance And Proffered Redemption
• Free Grace
• Peace And Joy
• Love And Blessing
• Hope
• Help And Healing
• Angelic Protection And Necessary Provision
• Correction And Direction
• Comfort Of The Holy Spirit

The Fallen-Man Excuse ...

• I Am Just Not Ready!
• That Road Is Too Hard!
• What Will People Think!?!
• Deprivation Does Not Become Me!
• That Way Is Too Boring!
• I'm Too Young For Old-Time Religion! 
• I'm Sowing My Wild Oats While I Can Enjoy The No-Harvest Labor!

The Problem With Procrastinators 

And The Willful Disobedient 

And The Wantonly Ignorant ...

The Bottle For Medicine

Is 

Filled With The Pure Milk Of The Lord's Holy Truth
But
The Hungering, Thirsting Patient
Is
Dying 

Because 

He Wants To Swallow What Can't Be Drunk
And
Wants To Chew What Can't Be Swallowed!

The Big Question 

For The Household Of Faith ...

If You Have Truth
Need Truth
And
Wittingly, Willfully, Wantonly
Deny And Discard Truth
Who Is Responsible For Your Physical Demise
Or
Your Spiritual Damnation!?!

The Bottom Line ...

Jesus Christ Can Only Save
The One Who In Him Does Believe!
Jesus Christ Can Only Redeem
The One Who Willingly Of 

His High And Holy Blessing Hand
Does Free Salvation Receive!

No Matter How Efficacious A Medicine

If It Is Not Opened

And

Diligent Used 

For

The Specified Time

It Is A Medicine That Does Not Work!

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

Have You Taken Jesus Christ

And

Trusted Him

At His Holy Word

As Yet ... Today!?!

Crosswise Ways Missions to Meet Jesus in Glory!?! + PRAYER: We Come Believing, Father!

Morning, Mabel!

Hey, Patsy! How was Church, Girl? 

I had a lil' cold so that I did not make it out today!

Mabel! Let me tell you something! I did not go to our Church today. I went visiting with Clarice and, Lord have His Mercy, tha' Church did hot! And not in a good way either!

Gracious, Patsy! What happen! Nobody  ain' dead, nuh?!

No, no, nothing like that!

Well, Mabel, don't keep me in suspense! What happened?

Well, you know how Clarice is, right? Always out there looking, or as she likes to say: "Looking for the best way to find God!" Well, me and Clarice went down to the Crosswise Ways Church and Missions To Meet Jesus in Glory, Inc., Established April 1, 2015!

You kidding, right!

No! I kid you not! Me and Clarice went in and Girrrrrllllll, it was on!

On!?! What do you mean?!

Well, the Church was rammed! No room to move about and the music in there was better than in any dance hall I ever went to in my former days!

Mercyyyyyy!

Well, when the people were up into a frenzy, the Pastor tell them to speak in tongues!

What foolishness you talking? No Pastor can initiate talking in tongues! I thought that was the realm of the Holy Spirit?

Well, girl, that is when things went south, and in a hurry! People started screaming in some fancy languages, and using some words that made my skin crawl!

Patsy, what ignorance you really saying?

Girl, come inside here let me show what the Holy Bible say about talking in tongues!

Mabel yells through the side window for Clarice ...

Clariiiice!

Clariiiiiiiicceeee!

Yeaaaaaaaah!

Clarice, come over here right now!

Wha' happen?! I coming! I coming! Let me turn off the stove!

Clarice Appears In the side door ...

What you calling so hard 'bout!? Somebody dead?

No, Ms. I-Am-Looking-Every-Which Way-To-Find-God! Nobody ain' dead!

Clarice, what wrong with you? You keep looking for God but you seem to be going further and further away from Him! What you doing carr'ing Patsy to that Cross-Up House of Bedlam?! You should know that Almighty God is a God of Order - not confusion!

Sit down!
You Know That Place Is Just Wrong ! Even The Name Is Wrong!

Whe'e Jesus Say He Is Goin' Meet He Peoples?

He Said In The Air! We  - Still Living And The Used To Be Dead - Are Going To Him In The Air! De Deads  Gine Rise Firs'!

So how come that "church" you insist upon frequentin' got that wrong name plaste' all ovah de place?!

You ain't got no mo' sense than a three-leg chick'n! ... And you does make me forget that I knows how to speak The Queen's English!

Uh hmmm  ...!

When The Good Lord poured out His Spirit on His Apostles, they spoke in tongues aka other languages, and there were amongst those assembled, persons who could clearly understand what was being spoken!

Was there anyone in that madhouse who could interpret what was being spoken?

Why was the multitude speaking all at once? 

And what was up with all the technicolor language that Patsy said that she heard being uttered?

Well ...?!

I, I, ahhmmm ...!

Has the cat taken possession of that red rag in your mouth called a tongue?!

A Profound silence is felt ...

Clarice Imelda Wilhelmina Eugenia Williams used to be Payne!?!

Oh, dear, Lord! The full name! I now know that I really in trouble!

What In The Name Of All That Is Holy is wrong with You?!

Haven't you learned anything from your travels in all these fancy places that you attend "church!?!"

Jesus Christ Is Simple, Gentle, Meek, True, Loving, Merciful, And Freely Available To All Seekers, and does not request that you give what you do not have to receive the Free Blessings Of Heaven!

Almighty God cannot Lie because Almighty God is not a Man!

All that the Living Eternal Holy God wants from you is your Faith, Belief, Love, Trust, Obedience and YOUR WHOLE HEART!

The Big Question Jumped Out ...

Why are you running after Shadows ... that seem to have talons!?!

Every new church you end up in always cost you something! When are you going to learn!?!

You keep running after The Lord Jesus Christ and, yet, you can't seem to come to a decision about what it is that you expect to receive from Him!

Sniffff ...!!

Ease up, Mabel! You mekking she cry!

She should indeed be crying! This nonsense has gone on long enough!

The Lord Christ says, simply:

Come Unto Me All Ye That Labor

And I, Jesus Christ

- The Only One Righteous -

Will Give You Rest!

He went on further to say to anyone willing to listen and learn:

Take My Yoke Upon You

And Learn Of Me

For I Am Meek And Lowly In Heart ...!

... And for the Grand Finals ...!

... You mean Grand Finale!

Same difference!

He said:

.. And You Shall Find Rest Unto Your Soul!

Clarice, You're running all about and I know you don't rest, neither your body nor your soul!

Isn't it time for you to come to the conclusion of your search into Spiritual Matters!?!

I Know! It's just that I sometimes think that if I choose one church I might miss out on something exciting in another!

When will get it into your head that serving The Lord Jesus Christ is not about hot and sweaty feelings and het up emotions!?!

Serving The Living God requires Reasoning Skills and the exercise of Faith, Trust, Love And Obedience and Willing Wise Worship!

We make our decision for Christ on solid Facts and not the Fantasy artfully sketched and colorfully painted by Overwrought Emotions!

Emotion-Based Worship needs more and more Exciting even Thrilling Emotions to maintain the present belief, and if you keep up this nonsense, you're going to find yourself Indulging in activities too shameful for even you to give voice unto!

I know that you are not ignorant of The Word Of The Living God so let me ask you this:

What is The Power Of Truth!?!

The Power Of Truth is to Transform one's Life and Character!

By beholding we ...!

... Become Changed!

Faith ...!

... Comes by hearing The Word Of God!

Are you really hearing The Word Of Almighty God in all of these different churches you are so avidly attending!?!

I, uh, ahhmmm ...!

Translation: No!

Clarice, I Love You! We Love You but Jesus Loves You More ... and for Eternity!

Please give up this Loose Goose Chase ... Jesus Christ is very near to all who search for him Truthfully!

I am certain that you know that we Cannot Conform or Transform Jesus  Christ to our Rotten self-serving ways or to our Sinful character!

I know! I know! We are transformed, regenerated, to be like The Holy Jesus! 

Please Help Me! Will you all please Pray for Me!?!

PRAYER:

We Come Believing, Father

That The Living Word Is Ever True!

Please Lead Us Into All Truth, Oh, Lord

By Thy Holy Spirit

And

Help Us To Walk Aright

Because We Have No Help But You!

Open Our Eyes!

Remove The Blinding Scales

- Those Blinkers -

From Our Eyes

And

Help Us To See Jesus Christ As He Is

The Great Physician

Our Only Hope

Our Certain Help

Our Savior, Redeemer

Lord And King

And

Bless Us With The Strength

Give Into Our Hearts The Strength

To Call Upon That Worthy Name

So That We May Be Saved

And

Forever Blessed!

Please, Dear Father

Let Your Name Be Glorified

And

 Jesus Christ Be Forever Praised!

This Is Our Hearts Earnest Plea

And

We Ask All In The Name Above All Names

Jesus Christ The Lord!

AMEN.

How Far Will Our Love For The Lord Christ Reach!?!

How Does One Go 

From

Knowing And Doing Truth

To

Ignoring And Stifling Truth

For

The Comfort Of Convenience

Or

The Convenience Of Comfort!?!

I Am Asking My Self A Couple Of Questions:

Would You, Dear Self
For A Loaf Of Stale Bread
Deny The Blessed God Of Creation

Who Is Forever Living 

But

Because Of Your Personal Sin

Was Once Dead!?!

Would You, Dear Self
Doubt The Living Word Of Truth
To Punch A Time Card
And 

Enjoy A Sea-Of-Sin
- Paid For With My Christ-Purchased Soul -
Winter Or Summer Vacation!?!

And I Am Talking To My Self ...

Dear Self,
You Know Of Surety
The Word Of The Eternal God Is True!
You Have Been Forewarned That
Man's Conscience Will Be Forced If He Wants To Eat Bread!
You Have It On Everlasting Authority
That What Was Shall Be
And
What Is Has Been
So, Will You Be Afraid Of Lying, Dying, Man

And 

Of The Savior, The Redeemer, The Forever Friend
Indulge Sinful, Death-Dealing

Can't-Bless-A-Brother Doubt!?!

Need I Remind You, Dear Self, That ...

When You Were Lost
The Good Shepherd Found You! 

When You Knew Pain
The Great Physician Healed You!

When You Knew Sorrow
The Holy Spirit Comforted You! 

When You Were In Danger
The Holy Angels Protected You!

When You Had No Hope
The Lord Of Life Gave You Daily Faith!

When You Were Condemned
The Savior Gave You Of His Free Grace!

And, Now ...

Now That We Are Nearing Home, Dear Self
Will You Turn Aside To Fables
Trusting In Lying Eyesight
Believing The Corrupt Words Spoken Into Your Stopped-Up Ears

Speaking Truth In Unrighteousness
Walking Not To Speak Peace But To Start War
Wearing Your Own Idea Of Christ's Righteousness
And
Lifting Up Willful Self By The Hardness Of An Unregenerated Heart!?!

Is Heaven With Jesus Christ Really Your Home!?!

Do You Love Him Who Loves And Cares Sacrificially For You 

And 

Purchased Pardon For Your Soul

Or

Does Your Love Reach Only For  

Who May Provide Your Body With Cassava Pone!?!

Would You Really Choose The Convenience Of The Corporeal Doubt

Instead Of The Tested And Tried Eternal Faith Of Jesus!?!

Dear Self,

What Now, Says You!?!

Can The Lord Christ, Returning, Count On You!?!

LOOKING BACK!?! Turn Around, Look Up And Look Forward!!

Look Forward 

Is 

Married To Look Back
And
They Have A Fair Child Called Livvin N. Expectancy
Whose Favorite Thing To Do In This Big Old World
Is 

To Pray By Faith
And 

Watch Daily

- Moment By Moment -
To See What The Dear Lord In Highest Heaven Will Do!

Livvin N. Expectancy Rubs Look Back The Wrong Way!

Look Forward Eagerly Joins Livvin N. Expectancy 

For Prayer And Praise
- Every Morning And Every Night -
And
These Two Rest Peacefully
Enjoying The Sleep Of The Just
While Dear Old Look Back
Is 

Bemoaning Yesterday's Faded Glories
And
Kicking Up Past Failures' Blinding And Choking 

Acrid Fetid Dust!

Regrets: He Has More Than A Few!
Sorrows: Myriad In All Dimensions!
As For Pain And Disappointment

On That Ship
He Is The Indentured Crew!

He Calls Himself A Christian!
He Knows All Of The Good Buzz Words
But
Ask Him About His Connection To The Way Of The Master
And
You May Very Well End Up
Like A Cold-Weather Wind-Blistered
Late-To-The-Annual-Migration
Left-Behind Bird!
You'll Not Be Edified!

Look Forward And Livvin N. Expectation
Willingly Have Their Steps Ordered By The Blessed Lord
And
They Avidly Indulge In Constant Communication
With The Forever Friend
And
They Look Not For Signs And Wonders
To Make Decisions
Or
For Unwitting Errors
To Have To The Good Lord

With Contrite Hearts To Make Amends!

Faith Is First
Is Last
Is Always!

Doubt Is Not Countenanced
Because
Doubt Is Sin

So Doubt Is Out!

These Two Take The Gracious Lord At His Holy Word
Even When Their Carnal Flesh 

Is 

Showing Resistance
And
For Their Faithfulness
Free Grace
- In Their Favor -
Is Bestirred!

Lest You Come To The Conclusion That 

Their Lives Are Picture Pretty 

And 

Positively Perfect
Let It Be Made Known That You'd Be Very Wrong!

They Have Set-Backs
Upsets 

Unexpected Denials 

And

Impossible-To-Plan-For Disasters
But
With Eyes Fixed And Focussed On The Kingdom Prize
They Trust The Lord Jesus
Knowing That The Reward Of Their Faith
- From His Heart -
Will Never Be Cruel Lies!

Trust The Lord! 

Bless The Lord! 

Believe The Lord!

Pray!

Walk In Faith!

Do The Will!

For 1,000 Years In Heaven Stay!

Know This ...

Mercy Is Free!
Obedience Is Cheap!
Grace Is Always Sufficient
And
The Bill For Making It All Available To Us

- To Almighty God -

Was Immensely Heartbreakingly Steep!

Take Time To Look Up ...

If You Are Like Old Look Back
An Attitude Adjustment Is In Order

Because
Wearing The Name Christian Holds No Weight
If

- Against Your Heavenly Record -
There Is No Pearl Gate Designated-Entrance Order!

The Look Back "Solution"

Is

Faith-Polluting

But

The Eye Of Hope

Helps

Committed Christians

With

This Vale Of Tears To Cope!

Jesus Christ Saves!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Truth Is Always Lowly!

Jesus Christ Died The Second Death

So That I Would Not Have So To Do!

Jesus Christ Lives So That I May In Him Live

And

With Him

Highest Heaven Rise Up Unto!

Jesus Christ Prayed A Model Pray

So That I Should Know How To Pray!

Jesus Christ Cares Sacrificially For Me

So I Should Know Who To Direct My Prayers Unto

- In His Name -

Each And Every Day!

Jesus Christ Saves!

He Saves To The Uttermost!

Jesus Christ Raises Up To Life

Even Those Whom The World Calls The Guttermost!

Who Are You Going To Believe!?!

The Gross Liar Or Tribe Judah's Lion!?!

Who Are You Going To Believe!?!

Damned Satan The Lost

Or

The Innocent Lamb Slain Who Lives 

But 

Was Once Dead Upon The Cursed And Cruel Cross!?!

Lies Are Oft Lofty!

Truth Is Always Lowly!

Lying Gifts Are Ultimately Useless And Always Showy

But

The Plain Blessings Of Almighty God Are Always For Man's Good

And

Ever Always For Almighty God's Glory!

Think My Brother, My Sister, My Friend!

Think People Of God From Beginning To End!

Truth Does Not Need Color, Craft, Nor Spin

And

Those Who Are Strangers To Truth

Will Never Heaven's Pearly Gates 

- By Right -

Ever, Ever, Walk In!

Trust The Lord
And 
Obey
And

Do Not By Self-Satisfaction Indulge In Own-Sin Self-Pay

Because

Those Who Willfully Embrace That Indulgence

Will Join Satan In The Lake Of Fire's Consuming Effulgence!

Self-Serving Costs!

Obeying The Will Of Almighty God

Will Always With Great Blessings

Substantially, Exponentially, Pay! 

Wait Patiently

Embracing The Lord's Plain Truth

And

Doing His Known Will

For

The Coming Great And Awful Day! 

HAPPY SABBATH: When Doubt Meets Faith!?!

Well, Sister
I Am Very Sorry To Hear You Say That!
Personally, I Have Temporary Problems
Because
Praise The Living God For Present Grace
And
Soon To Come Glory
I Have The Almighty God Holy And True
In The Person Of The Lord Jesus Christ Who Is Also God Eternal

Who Bought Me And Paid The Infinite Price

To Assure Me Of Peace And Rest

Forgiveness Salvation

Daily Grace

Daily Faith

And

Always Free Mercy!

As Long As I Can See My Jesus

I Can Be At Peace

Because

I Know That That Immense Gift

- The Holy Spirit Of Truth -

Will Comfort Me In Difficulties

Guide Me On Right Paths

Chide Me When I Am Not Walking Right

And

My Being Willing

Get Me Safely Home

To The Mansions Of Heavenly Rest

In Beulah Land

The Eternal Home Of The Enduring-All-Things

Through-The-Faith-Of-Jesus Believers Blessed! 

I Can't Beat Almighty's God Giving!
I Can't Beat Back Almighty God's Blessings
And
I Won't Send Back Almighty God's Love For Me
Because
I Intend To Bask In His Love For All Eternity!

But, Wait
Lemme Ask You Something:
How Come We Go To The Same Church
Sit Under The Same Pastor
Read From The Holy Bible
And Have Such Different Outcomes!?!

It Seems To Me That 
You Know Some Things That I Don't Know!?! 

Are You A Hearer Or A Doer
Or A Hearer And A Doer Of The Living Word!?!

I Didn't Know There Was A Difference!

Are You A Believer Who Indulges Sinful Doubt
Or
A Sinner Who Chooses

- Despite The World's Enunciated Promulgated Doubts - 
To Be A Humble Faithful Willing Believer!?!

Oh, Dear! Ohhhhh, Dear!

Do You Live By Faith
Or
Do You, Like The Deceitful World
Choose To, Against All The Evidence To The Contrary
Live By Lying Eye-Sight!?!

Oh, Lord! Ohhhhh, Lord!

Do You Believe A Dying Man's Word
Or
Do You Believe The Living God-Man Who Is The Word!?!

Dear, Lord And Father Of My Kind!!!
Forgive Me My Foolish Ways!
I've Always Trusted My Eyes, My Ears, My Deceitful Heart
And I Am Listing In The Sea Of Sin
And Can't Seem To Find The Way The Ocean Of Doubt To Get Out!
Please Hear Me And Please Help Me!
This Is My Contrite Heart's Pray!

Sister,

Please Have Faith: It's Free!

Savor The Living Word: Choose To Believe! 

If You Are Seeking To Have Every Doubt Set Aside

Rest Assured

You Will Find Many More Reasons To Doubt The Living God

Walking Boldly By Your Side

Staring You Insolently In Your Face

Opening Your Front Door

Fighting You For A Seat In Your Best Comfy Chair

Taking You Favorite Dinner Right Out Of Your Hand

Sprawling Out On Your Sweet-Smelling Bed

Nailed Down On Your Porcelain Princess ...!

But, Wait!?!

How Come You So Nosy Getting All Up In My Life So!?!

Girl, I Lived Your Life!

The Difference Between Conflict And Courage Is Having

A Nice Comfortable Tasty Slice Of Jesus Christ's Daily-Faith Cake

Or

Engorging Your Sinful Self On A 12-Inch Round Pan Of 
Sight-Of-The-Eyes Doubter's Delight Cake

Which

- Surprise, Surprise -

Has No Known End ...! 

... I Know That For A Fact!

There's Always One, One, One. Slice. More!

The Word Says:

Have Faith... !!!

(Don't Look Back)! 

Trust God ...!!!

(Walk In Faith)! 

Believe ... And Live ... With God!!!

(Hold On To The High And Holy Hand

Extended Lovingly Toward You!) 

Hon, 

The God We Believe In

Will Never, Ever, Grab Your Hand

Tune Your Ears

Set Your Feet

Nor Fix Your Eyes

Until

You Grab Hold Of His Already Extended-To-You Hand
And

Turn Your Ears

Point Your Feet

And

Lift Up Your Eyes To Him! 

Almighty God

- Through Jesus Christ Our Savior Lord And King -

Has Made The First And The Last(ING) Move!

Our Task

Should We CHOOSE To Accept It

Is 
To Hear The Word And Choose To Believe It

Believe The Word Of God And Walk In Faith

Accept The Blessing Of Daily Receipts Of Faith

And

Faithfully Look To AKA Depend Upon OUR Jesus

The Author And Finisher Of OUR Faith

Who Has Made The Way Clear For Us!

Think Of Water ... Which Finds Its Own Level

And

Think Of Terra Firma Rock ... Moved And Or Marked By The Water's Action! 

Let's Call Jesus, The Water ... Of Life!

Let's Call You, Sister, Terra Firma Rock

Able To Be Impacted By The Water Of Life!

Life Of Sin Is A River Bed Where You Reside! 

Water Of Life Touches Terra Firm Rock Constantly!

You Have, By God-Given Right

Choices Chances

Free Will And Free Way!

You Are Self-Aware!

You Are, Also, By Nature Of Sin, Selfish! 

You Can Let The Water Of Life Permeate Your Hard Shell

And

Make A Mark

Mark You Out

Cut You Away

Move You Onward And Upward

From Sin Draw You, Not Push You, Away

OR

You Can Be Impacted By The Water Of Life

Hear Where It Will Lead

See What It Can

Enjoy The Present Perks Of Daily Interaction

But

Stubbornly Remain Unmoved! 

What About If I Didn't Make A Decision!?! 

Sweetie, Let Me Tell You What My King James Tell's Me:

If You're Not Planting With Jesus Christ

You Are Against Him! 

Now Now, Now Is The Of Salvation! 

Tomorrow Is Promised To No Man, Woman Or Child ... Look Around You! 

Faith Is The Victory That Overcomes The World!

Nothing, Absolutely Nothing, Can Separate Us From Jesus!

Jesus Christ Loves Me, Personally, Sacrificially! 

Jesus Died To Save Us All

But

He Can Only Save One Person Aka

The One Person Who CHOOSES To Believe That 
Jesus Christ Saves!

Jesus Christ Only Saves Individuals!

He Can't Save A Family

A Country

A City

A Town

A Church

A Congregation

But

He Will Save The Individuals In Those Settings

Who Individually Set Aside Self Sin Doubt

And

Choose Jesus Christ's Love
His Freely-Available Gift Of Daily Faith 
And
His Free-To-All Salvation! 

You Make It Sound So Easy! 

It Is! 

If It Is So, Why Is There Plaguing Doubt!?!

Do You Remember 
The Tree Of The Knowledge Of Good And Evil!?!

Yes, I Do!

Do You Also Remember The Tree Of Life!?! 

I Sure Do!

Do You Remember Jesus Christ's Charge To Adam And Eve!?! 

Stay Away From The Tree Of The Knowledge Of Good And Evil 

Or You Will Die!

What I Don't Understand Is
If They Had The Tree Of Life

Why Did He Have To Put The Tree Of
The Knowledge Of Good And Evil There As Well!?! 

It Was For A Test Of Faith! 

Don't Forget That There Had Already Been 
A Rebellion In Heaven 
And 
It Was Necessary For This New Creature

- Made A Little Lower Than The Angels -

To Prove His Allegiance!

The Same Is True For Today! 

The Difference Is The Trees Are Called 
Faith And Doubt!

Adam And Eve Were Never Meant To Have 
The Knowledge Of Evil!

The Tree Of Life Gives Unto Us

Every Good And Perfect Gift

Which Comes Down From The Father Of Lights 

In Whom Is No Variableness

Neither Shadow Of Turning ...! 

... I Just Remembered That He Said:

I Am The Lord: I Change Not!

The Lord: The Same Yesterday, Today And Forever ...!

... Call On Me AND ...! 

... I Will Show You Great And Glorious Things

Which Thou Knowest Not! 

I Am The Lord: Is There Anything Too Hard For Me!?! 

The Lord Is My Shepherd: I Shall Not Want! 

The Lord Is Our Refuge And Strength: 
A Very Present Help In Times Of Trouble! 

... But Thou, Oh, Lord, Art A Shield For Me: 
My Glory And The Lifter Up Of My Head! 

Whom Seekest Thou!?!

Jesus Christ The Righteous Lord

The Holy God:

My Creator

My God 

My King 

My Salvation 

My Redeemer

My Only Savior

My True Friend!?! 

What Doest Thou!?! 

As For Me And My House

We Will Serve The Lord! 

What Your Doubt!?! 

It Is No Longer My Doubt! 

Doubt - Like Satan - Is Damned!

I Have Made My Choice! 

I'll No Longer Be A Wave Of The Sea

Driven And Tossed By Every Storm Wind!

My Soul Is Anchored In The Lord

And I Stand Against Satan The Fraud! 

I'm Now Truly Aware Of His Devices 

And I'm Giving To The Lord

My Self

My Will

My Way

My Choices

I've Invested In Him All My Chances! 

Jesus Christ IS Now Totally Responsible For Me

Because From Here On In

I've Divested My Soul Of

Lying Doubts' Destructive Debilitating

Good-For-Nothing Coming! 

I've Learnt Something Today!

It Pays To Converse With The True People Of The Book! 

Give The Lord His Glory! 

He IS The Book! 

What In Earth Do You Mean!?! 

The Preserved Word Of Our King James Bible

Is

The Transcript Of The Eternal Holy God's Character! 

If You Take Away From The Good Book

You Minimize Almighty God And Curse Your Self!

If You Add To The Good Book

You Elevate What Has No Elevator 

And You Are Found To Be A Liar

And You Curse Yourself

And You Lose All Your Blessings!

Father, 

In The Name Of The Beloved Jesus

Have Mercy, Please, On All Of Us!

AMEN!!!

I'm Glad We Had This Time To Talk! 

If You Want To Talk Some More

Come And Have Dinner At My House! 

Will Our Jesus Be There!?!

In Spirit, My Dear! In Spirit!

Where Two Or Three Or Gathered Together In My Name!?! 

Indeed! 

Let's Go!
