TALKING A LOT AND DOING NOTHING: Time To Exercise Faith!

... I Have A Bible!

Do You Read It!?!

I Wear A Cross!

Do You Bear Your Cross!?!

I Talk To God!

Do You Listen To God!?!

I Follow The Rules!?!

Do You Follow The Laws Of God!?!

I Am A Child Of God!

Are You A Servant Of God!?!

I Am A Student Of The School Of Jesus!

Are You Becoming Like Jesus!?!

Brethren,

We Can All Say Something Nice
About Our Relationship With Almighty God
But
Is Our Something Satisfactory, Pleasing, To The Lord
Or Does It Excite Satan, The God-Fraud!?!

Oh, Dear!

Nice Expression But Ain't Worth A Lot!
Nice Expression That Can Lead To The Blot!
Nice Expressions Don't Lead To God's Favor
Unless That Expression 
Is
Based And Built Upon Righteousness
And
Gives Off A Heavenly Savor!

Oh, Dear!

Oh, Dear, Indeed!

We All Talk A Good Deal
And
We Say All The Right-Sounding Words
But
Our Thoughts Prior Are Terrible
And
Our Subsequent Actions Are Abominable!

Do You Realize That Not One Of Us Said That
We Are Faithful
Living By Faith
Walking Under The Banner Of The Lord Christ
And
Striving Not To Be A Cast Out Disgrace!?!

I Noticed That No One Said Anything
About Endurance 
About Enduring All Things For The Lord
About Seeking To Gain The Mastery Over Self
About Denying The Works Of The Devil
About Overcoming Sin
In The Name Of Jesus Christ
Who Died Sickeningly To Save Us All ...!

... And Don't Nobody Say "Oh, Dear!"
We Are All Guilty!

Friends, Let's Get Real!
We Could Spend All Night At This "Funeral"
But If We Don't Seek To Change
Our Real Funeral Will Be In The Lake Of Fire!

Chrissy, You Said Earlier That
You Talk To God But That You Don't Know
What It Is That You Should Be Hearing For An Answer!

Yes, I Did!
I Often Wonder What Is The Voice I'm Hearing
Because The Very Thing I Ask For Help Not To Do
Is The Very Thing I End Up Doing ...!

... Because 
You Are Relying On Your Self
And
Not On The Word Of The Living God!

The Living, Holy, Word Of The Eternal God
Is Never 
Contradicted By The Voice Of
The Holy Spirit ... Of Truth ... Of The Eternal God!

AMEN!!!

Okay!
Let's Talk Turkey Aka Jesus Christ's Gift To Us!

The Lord Gives Unto Each Of Us 

A Daily Measure Of His Faith ... For That Day

And 

The Strength To Exercise It ... To Work It

Because 

Faith Without Work Is Dead! 

Living By Faith Is Hard

And

Easy

And 

A Necessity! 

We Are Saved By God's Grace 
Through The Exercising Of Our Gift Of Faith 

So Let Us Dare To Trust The Lord At His Word

And

Obey Him

And

Walk Boldly In His Light 
To Receive Our Sure Blessings Today
And
Every Day! 

Blessings Always Await The Faithful!

Remember Old Sister Cheryl's Prayer:

Oh, Lord!

Please Work On Me!

Please Work With Me!

Please Work Through Me!

Please Work For Me!

Please Work By Me ... Forever!

The One Thing I Would Correct About That Prayer
Is The Line Which Says:

Please Work With Me!

Why Would You Correct That Line!?!

Simple:

If The Lord Is Working With Us 
To Help Us To Avail Ourselves Of His Blessings
And
We Do Not Cooperate With Him
We Achieve Nothing!

I Get Your Point
So I Would Now Pray, Saying:

Dear Lord,

Please Help Me To Work With You

And

Please Help Me

To Energetically Utilize

My Daily Gift Of Faith

And

To Wholly, Enduringly

Cooperate With You

To The Saving Of My Purchased Soul

And

To Bless Others

In Jesus Christ's Matchless, Holy, Name!

AMEN!!!

Greed For Gain!?!

The Message You Are About To Receive Is True!
No Names Have Been Changed
For No Guilty Human Is Innocent!

In AD-31 Jesus Christ
At The Order Of The High Priest
Was Betrayed By Judas Iscariot
His Friend And Companion
- Who Ate His Bread -
For A Measly 30 Pieces Of Silver!

At Today's Money Value
That's $3,000+/-

And

The Sale All Started With The Expedient:

"It Is Preferable That One Man Die ...!"

Imagine Heaven's Sorrow!

Caiaphas Did Prophesy
And 
With Greed For Gain As The Sin Stain
Eternal Motions 
Were Put In Irreversible Train!

AD-2019 ...

A Man's Soul ... For A Vote
Is 

Sold To The Highest Bidder
For What Is ... In Essence
A Mere ... A Measly ... Groat!

At Today's Money Value
That's $0.03 aka Three Cents!

Imagine Heaven's Horror!

Jesus Christ Died
To Save Mankind Defiled
So That ... Upon His Merit
Fallen Man Could Before The Father Appear
And That 
Without Trembling Fear!

The Shame Of It All

Is
That The Eternal God
Came To Reposition Man
To Appear Before The God Of All
Set Apart
Justified
Whether Man Believes It Or Not!

Blessed Is The Man Who Believes
And

Does Not Jesus Christ's Sacrifice Deny!

Problem Is ...

Faith Comes By Hearing
And
Hearing By The Word of The Lord
But
How Can Man Know Jesus Christ
When The Powers That Be ... Say
Personal Knowledge Of Christ
Is 

A Wicked Device
And
That Knowing Christ Is Not Necessary
To Get To Our Father God For Life
When To The Contrary
Jesus Christ Himself Said
That The Only Way To Get To His Father
Is 
To Go To The Father Through Him
And
In His Name!?!

Don't Borrow Sorrow!

Don't Reject Everlasting Life

And At The Revealing Reel In Horror!

People Need To Walk Wise!

People Need To Trust And Obey! 

True, True

But 

Many Christians Eat At Cafe Cut And Swallow

Bistro See And Feel

Cucina Name It And Claim It

And 

Refuse To Go To 

The Mega-Supermarket Buy, Cook, Sit, Eat And Enjoy Truth! 

Facing Facts ...

There is a Veritable Feast At The Table Of The Lord

Where Chewing Is A Requirement
But

Few Enjoy The Good Food 

Because 

Their Taste Buds Are Thoroughly Corrupted By Sin 

And

They Don't Want To Have Them Reconditioned 

By The One Who Is The Way 

And

Who Is Truth And Light

Leading To Eternal Life! 

I Hear That!
Change Is Necessary!

Here Is Love ...

We Are Not Left On Our Own To Die In Our Sin!

A Blind Baby Knows  
His Mother's Voice, Touch, Smell, And Feel! 
He Senses Her Love And Responds To Her Emotions
And 
He Knows That She Is Beautiful 
Because 
She Loves Him! 

We Should Always Be Willingly Responding To The Lord!

The Lord Loves Us More Than Our Mothers Do! 
He Cannot Forget Or Ignore Us 
Whose Gift Of The Indwelling Holy Spirit 
Blesses Us With A Continual "Look" At His Face! 

Even Blinded By Sin
We Know The Love Of Almighty God 
And 
Can See His Face ... Through Faith
In The Person Of Jesus Christ! 
Love For Our God 
Will Help Us Keep His Commandments!

Greed For Worldly Gain Is A Known-Demonic Device!

Yes, Indeed
So Do Not Permit Unprofitable Gain
To Deny You That Which 
Places You ... Perfected ... In Paradise!

DOUBT IS SIN : Coup In Christendom

When Preachers And Teachers
Pastors
And
Those Of Their Ilk 
Forget What Is The Way Of The Cross
They Have No Problem
Teaching That Other Gospel
To Those With Itching Ears
And
Shepherding Them Like Willful Goats
So That They
- Unrepentant Of Known Sin -
May Finally Be Consumed In The Lake That
Burns With Fire And Brimstone!

Facts ...

Apostle Peter Is A Stone!
Jesus Christ The Lord Is The Rock!

The Child That Follows After The Lord Christ
Will Have His Faith Tested
And
His Faith Will Be Tested
So That ... Ultimately ... He Will Have 
His Trust In The Lord Of Love And Life Strengthened!

Patiently Waiting On The Lord God Almighty Strengthens Man
Because

In The Lord Is Everlasting Strength!

Being Able To Say The Word 
Is Not 
Believing
And
Doing Almighty God's Will Doubtfully 
Is Not 
Proof Of Trusting!

Constant Willing Obedience 
Is 
A Daily Fruit Of Trust!
Sure Damnation 
Is 
The Final Fruit Of Unresolved, Repented-Of Doubt!
Doubt Is Sin
And
The Wages For Sin Is Death!

Repentance For Known Sin 
Causes Us In Our Daily Walk With Christ To Profit
And
Causes Satan His "Hold" On A Stolen Trophy To Lose!

Baptism Into Christ's Death
Is
Our Public Commitment To Walk With Him
Who For Our Sin Did Atone
And
Points The Way Forward
So That We May Arrive Safely At The Heavenly Home!

Choices ...

The Doctrine Of Jesus Christ's Faith
Does Not Depend On Human Sight!
Jesus Christ Gives To Each Believing Human
The Measure Of Faith ... Daily
So That We Do Not Have To Walk Around Anchorless
And
Become A Living Disgrace
By Looking Back
Looking Around
- Never Looking Up To Him
From Whom Our Sure Help Comes  -
And Thereby
Earning The Judge's Frown!

The Fellowship Of The Faithful
Is
A Great Necessity
For By It We May Encourage One And Another
And
Be Comforted Though Tiresome The Trials May Be!

Like Minds Think Alike
And
Only Those Who Walk Together Agree
And
With The Congregation Of Christ's Faithful United
Strong Against The Wily Foe
By God's Grace 
And 
In Christ's Holy Faith
We Shall Truly Be!

Growth In Almighty God's Grace
Just Like Jesus Christ's Faith
Is
A Dire Necessity!
We May Come To The Lord As Known Sinners
But
As Practicing Sinners We Cannot Remain
Because
The Spirit Of Holy God Is In Us
And
Of A Truth
Blessed Change Must And Will Take Place!
Don't Look For Sensations And Feelings!

We Shall Be Saved From Sin
But
We Shall Never Be Saved In Sin
No Matter Who In Christendom Trumpets That Lying Call!

The Word Of Almighty God 
The Transcript Of His Holy Character
Is 
Unchanging
And
The Sacrifice For Sin ... Once For All Mankind
Has Already Been Made!
Victory Over Sin
Is
The Only Way ... In Our Lives
To Reverse The Curse Of The Fall!

Jesus Christ Paid It All!

Almighty God
- Offended At Sin Which Requires Death 
As The Just Punishment -
Sent His Beloved, Only Begotten, Son
To Pay The Price Of Our Individual, Personal, Sins 
To Bring Us Back Into His Loving Favor! 

Brethren, Beloved,

Let Us Not Neglect, Ignore, Refuse
Or Deny This Purchased Great Salvation
This Appeasement
This Reconciliation
This Infinite Payment For Our Sin 
Because
If We Do
We Shall Suffer ...  As Jesus Suffered 
Being Separated From His Father 
Which Is The Second Death Aka Eternal Separation! 

Salvation 
Is  
Free To All Who Choose To Take It: 
Let Not The Lord's Atoning Sacrifice For You 
Be In Vain! 
Reject The Naysayers
And
The Living In Sin Until Jesus Comes Players!
Take The Proffered Gift!
Hold On To The Extended Hand Of Love! 
Blessings Await The Believing 
Enduring, Obedient
Working, Watching, Waiting Faithful!

INCOMING: Strange!

Almighty God's Great Grace 

Is 

Free

To All Who Choose To Believe

And

Not To Those Who Choose

To Let Themselves

By Satan Be Deceived!

Something "Strange"
Is 

Afoot On This Planet!
What It Is!?!
I Cannot Fathom It:

• A Tangerine Alligator
• A Green Puppy
• A Three-Parent Baby
• A Hubby That Is A Mummy And A Daddy!
• A Son Who Is A Daughter And A Boy And A Girl Choosing The Day Of The Week To Decide Which Day Will See Their Cute Curls!

What's Wrong With Being Satisfied With What You've Got!?!

What's Wrong With Make-Do!?!
What's Right About A Green Baby Dog!?!
Who Painted That Alligator Tangerine!?!
Was It Perhaps You Know Who!?!

This Would All Be Hysterically Funny
If 

It Was Not A Crying Shame
But
Forgive Me

Because 

I Forgot That I ... Being Regular Normal

Believing The God Of Heaven

Living By Holy Faith

Trusting In The Merits Of The Shed Blood Of Jesus Christ

And

Striving For The Mastery

That Purchased Victory Over Sin
Is 

The One Who Is Now Regularly Called Strange!
I Know I Don't Have The Mange!

I Don't Know What Will Happen
Five Minutes From Now
But
I Do Know That The Lord Christ Is Soon Coming!
I Also Know That There Is Nothing New Under The Sun
So ... Look Out, World!

The Unbelievably Different

The Strangely Weird

The Spectacularly Mind-Blowing

The Awe-Inspiring

The Down-Right Demonic 

Is

On The Horizon

And

Even Now

Is 

Already Showing Its Benighting Face!

Have You ... By Living Faith

Availed Yourself 

Of

Almighty God's

Can't-Fail

Presently Available

 Saving Grace!?!

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

Are You Trusting

The Sight Of Your Lying Eyes

And

Crediting Signs

And

Unimaginable Wonders

As

The Working Of The Living God

Instead Of

The Sure And Secure
"Thus Saith The Lord!?!"

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: ... In The Here And Now!

Great Is Thy Faithfulness

Is Not
Just A Song To Me!

Great Is Thy Faithfulness

Is

A Symphony

Majestic

Glorious

A Tribute To My Master

The Lord

Our Holy God

In Beautiful Poetry!

Let's Join Together

And

Sing In Four-Part Harmony!

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

No Person

No Position

No Power

No Purse

Should Stay Your Heart From Accepting Christ Jesus

And

By So Doing
Enjoying ... In Your Life

The Reversal Of Sin's Curse! 

Walking Wise ...

The Way To Glory Is Narrow

And

That Way Is Laid Bare!

The Road To Damnation

Is

The Way Broad And Quite Clear

And

Man Without Coercion

Must Make His Personal Position Plain:

Look Up To King Jesus

Holding Him In Godly Fear

Or

Before Satan Bow

And

Share His Damnation! 

All Decisions Are Made In Time

In The Here And The Now! 

Who Are You Serving ...

Jesus Christ Is Loving, Kind And Gentle! 

Satan The Adversary Is A Gross Fiend! 

Jesus Christ Sacrificially Loves You
But

Satan Desires Your Clock To Clean! 

Time Is Running Out ...

Today Is The Day Of Salvation! 

Tomorrow Is Not A Day On Mortal Man's Clock! 

Today Is The Accepted Time

Because

Tomorrow Has No Time Clock

And

No Door For Entry Upon Which 
You May Loudly Knock, Knock! 

Decisions, Decisions ...

Choose You This Day

Whom You Shall Serve

Be It The Real God

Or Him Who Is The God-Fraud! 

Choose Life And Live 

Or 
Choose Death And Die:

Jesus Christ Is Life

Is Light!

Light That Cannot Go Out

Life That Cannot Procrastinate Nor Lie! 

Be Blessed ...

We Have The Eternal God 
Who Is Able To Turn Evil Into Good
To Turn Evil Intentions To Good Actions
To Reverse The Evil Disease
Healing Us
And
To Make Dead Bones Live!
Will You, To Him
Your Allegiance Give!?!

The Living God Has Given Us
Truth For Always
Strength For The Day
Courage For The Way
And
We Have The Duty
The Truth Comprehend
So That Like Lying Satan
We Do Not Come To A Damnable End!

The Holy Bible Keeps You From Sin

And

Sin Keeps You From The Holy Bible

So

Be Very Careful Which Bible You Choose

So That You Do Not Fall For Fable!

A Word To The Wise ...

The Way To Hell Is Paved With Good Intentions

And

A Myriad Man-Made Inventions!

The Way To Glory Is Marked

By Truth, Light

Faith, Hope, Obedience, Trust

Grace, Blessing, Peace, And Rest

Sin Repented Of

Sin Confessed

And

Endurance Of All Things

In Service To The Lord Of Life

And

Ends In Eternal Blessing

And

Elevation To Eternal Life!

Choose ... Today

To Victoriously Exit

The Mortal Strife

And

Live Forever

With The Lord Who Is

And

Gives

Life!

HAPPY SABBATH + Our Hope ... Today!

Jesus Christ Is Our Hope Today!

Today, Today ... No Other Day!

Jesus Christ Is Our Hope Today!

Our Heavenly Treasure!

Our True Mainstay!

Sin Is Our Terror Today, Today!

No Other Day, Brethren!

Today, Today!

Sin Is our Terror Today, Today!

Indulging Sin Is To Cherish Own-Sin Self-Pay!

Sin Has A Cure Today, Today!

No Other Day, Friend!

Today Is The Day To Ensure The Cure!

And He Is Christ Jesus

Knocking Now At Your Heart's Door!

Don't Harden Your Heart!

Don't Reject The Cure!

Don't Dismiss Your Salvation!

Don't Resist Your Healing That's Sure

For Tomorrow Is Not Promised!

Tomorrow's Sun Will Never Rise!

So Do Not Reach For The Unattainable

And Set Your Sure Blessing Aside!

Do Not Let Self Be Asserted!

Do Not Let Urge To Sin Arise!

Do Not Trust Him Who Is Not Your Savior

Him Who Specializes In Lies!

Our Savior Never Sinned

But 
As A Sinner He Died

Taking Our Personal-Sin Portion

So That We Do Not Have To Die

Covered In The Detritus Of A Life Unrenewed

As A Soul Unrepentant

As Satan's Refuse!

Never Give Up: Look Up ...

Look Unto Christ Jesus

The Author, The Finisher Of Your Holy Faith

And

Accept The Great Offering That 
Removes You From The Company Of Those 

Who Choose Eternal Suffering 

Eternal Separation From Almighty God

Because

They Love The Lying, Boldly Sinful, Life

Running Wild And Presumptuous With Olde Satan

The Known King Fraud

The Wicked, The Corrupting
The Dying Wannabe God!

Stock-Taking Time ... 

Sin Is An Earthly, Terminal, Disease 
And 

We Already Know That Jesus Christ The Righteous
Is
The Heavenly, Eternal, Cure! 

We Already Know That
We Commit Sin By Thought, Word And Deed 

And 

We Can't Stop Sinning Without The Lord Christ
So Let Him Help You This Way Of Life To Abjure! 

Fact Facts ...

You're A Sinner: Admit It! 

You Need The Savior: Accept Him! 

Satan Can't Force You To Sin: Deny Him! 

Yielding To Temptation Is Sin: Stop It! 

Praying In Faith Is Power: Do It! 
Jesus Christ Saves The Repentant Sinner From Sin: 
Believe, Trust, And Obey Him! 

Jesus Saves ...

Jesus Christ Is Our Peace!

Walking With Him 
Leads Us Always To Profit

Leads Us Always To The Land Of Increase! 

Brethren, Beloved
Accept The Peace
And 

See To It That To Sin You Cease!
