B.C.W.: The Packaged Deal

Eat The Bread!
Make The Connection
And
Witness To The World!
This, Brethren
Is 
Your Employment
When You Choose To Walk With The Lord!

The Bread ...

The Bread Is The Word Of God
Pure, Clean And True!
It Satisfies The Hungering Soul
And
Always Blesses You!
That's Bible Truth!

The Connection ...

The Connection Is Your Communication
Your Prayers To The Lord
Honest, Heartfelt, Willing!
They Take You Up To The Lord Of Life
And
Your Urge To Sin They Are Killing!

The Witness ...

The Witness ... Your Witness To The World
Tells The Good News To Friends And Others!
It Tells Of What The Lord Has Done For You!
It Encourages Them To Take That Holy Hand
So That They Will Be Blessed Also
And
It Also Helps You In Your Walk Of Faith To Grow!

When We Eat Bread Of Life
We Taste And Chew And Savor!
What We Savor, We Swallow!
What We Swallow, We Digest!
What We Digest, We Are Nurtured Thereby

And

Because The Word Speaks Of Confession And Repentance
We Must Do Our Due Diligence
And
Dig Up And Cast Out The Dead Works
And
Fill Up On More Of What Gives Real Life
So That We, Fortified, May Win 
Aka Emerge Victorious
In The Mortal Strife!

When We Pray
We Acknowledge Jesus Christ As Lord And King
Creator, Redeemer, Hope, Help
Savior ... Everything
And
Trusting The Love That Will Not Let Us Go
We Bind Ourselves To Him Who Paid Our Price
And
In So Doing
We Give Short Shrift To Him Of The Demonic Device!

When We Witness To The World
We Cement Our Own Faith
And
We Give Strength To The Word That
The Lord Of Life Took Our Disgrace
And
Blessed Us And Cleaned Us
And
Clothed Us Anew
And
Has Taken Us Into His Dwelling
Where All Enduring Residents 
Are Grace-Filled, Heart-Holy 
Loving, Kind And Ever True!

Full Disclosure
Is The Way Of The Lord ...

Real Christians Will Really Suffer: Expect Suffering!
The Light Afflictions That We Suffer Are Appointed By The Lord 

And 

Are For Our Eternal Good 

And 

For His Glory

And 
Should Be Patiently Borne 
Because

The Lord Glorious
Has Promised To Never Leave Us Nor Forsake Us
And

He Has Given Unto Us The Holy Spirit Of Truth 

For Our Personal, Physical, And Spiritual Comfort! 
We Will Grow In Grace
So That We Shall, In Peace, See His Lovely Face!

The Same Cannot Be Said For Those Given Over To Evil 

Who Shall See Themselves In Desolation

Ruined ... Alone

Bereft Of Any Comfort For Their Wayward Souls!
They Shall Never Know 
The Peace That Pervades The Heavenly Home!

Understand And Accept This ...

Afflictions Point Us To The Word 
And 

Keep Us From Straying! 

Trust The Lord ... Wholly!
Take His Holy Hand ... Solely! 
Glory Awaits The Faithful ... Surely! 

In Jesus Christ

Is

Our Perfect Peace!

PRAYER: Father, I Desire The Spotless Garment!

Father,
I Need You!
I Bless You!
I Praise Your Holy Name!
Please Help Me, I Beseech You
Not To Profane Your Holy Name!

I Understand And I Accept, Dear Lord
That To Walk With You Requires
Unwavering Faith
And So I Ask You To Help Me
Not To Behave Like The One Insubstantial  
Hovering 
Between Faith And Doubt
And Earning For Myself The Mark That Says 
From Heaven, I Am Left Out!

I Believe That You Are God Almighty, Holy
Eternal King, Divine
Master, Savior, Redeemer, Friend
My Hope For Surpassing Glory
My Joy, My All 
To Life's Surely Coming End!

Please Help Me To Hold On To My Hope In Christ
And Not Be Disturbed By Those Who Prosper
Doing Evil 
And Employing The Demonic Device
And Living Large And Long, Unmolested
And Boldly, Basely, Begrudging The Lord Of Life
Even A Little Thanks-Filled Song!

Father,
I Desire The Spotless Garment
That Comes From Assimilating
The Holy Character Of The Lord Christ
And I Beg You, Beseech You
Please Help Me To Walk Right In Your Sight
Daily Confessing And Repenting Of Known Sin
So That I Will Live With My Savior
In The Land Of The Blessed
Where No Needs A Nightgown!

No Night!
All Is Delight!
No Sorrow, Shame, Or Fear!
Joys Evermore!
That Land With No Cares
Where Mansions For The Faithful Are Being Prepared
Is Where I Desire To Be With You
So Please Help Me To Be To You
Enduringly Faithful, Willingly Obedient
And Forever True!
Help Me To Maintain The Upward Look!

I Thank You, My Father
For Hearing And For Answering The Prayer Of Faith
For I Ask All In Jesus Christ's Holy Name!
Please Come Soon!
I Love You!
AMEN!

Good Eats!

... And These, Then, Are Your Options:

• Satan Versus Christ
• Truth Versus Error
• Disobedience Versus Obedience
• Love Versus Loyalty

Where, Brethren, Do You Stand!?!
Do You Love The Lord ... Enough
To Choose Death Over Disobedience!?!

The Punishment Of Man
Is
A Strange Act For The Living God
Because
He Takes No Pleasure In The Death Of The Wicked!

The Lord God, Himself
Is
Long-Suffering, Patient, Kind
Merciful
And
Gracious
And 
Enormously Forgiving
Because
He Desires To Give To Each Man ... Obedient
The Key To The Door Of
The House Of Eternal Living!

The Keys Are Already Cut!
The Deposit To Pick Up A Personal Key
Is
Willing, Ready, Faithful Obedience!

To Save Some Of Us
From Those Thoroughly Immersed In Sin
Whose Acts Would Ruin ... Destroy A Nation
- The Hardened In Sin -
Those Unrepentant, Willful, Wicked, Are Destroyed
So That Those Running Toward Sin
May Be Softened, Checked ... Corrected
By Seeing That Sinning Is No Living
And
Return To The Lord God Almighty
In Whom
From Whom
Through Whom
They Get Their Life For Daily Living!

The Charge ...

Guilty As Sin!

Guilty Of Sin!

Their Cup Of Iniquity Is Filled Up

And
Time For The Execution Of The Gross Wicked
Who See No Goodness In The Living God
But
Take Pleasure In The Benighting Ways Of Satan

- Our Soul's Adversary -
Is

Nearing Here, Hear!

The Guilty Are Never Cleared
But
The Great Judge Of All Living
Wills To Save Those 

Who Will To Follow His Truth ... As Given!

Think Achan!

Think King Ahab!

Think Queen Jezebel!

Think Queen Athaliah!

Think King Saul

And

Then Think Of King David!

Are You ... Am I

Are We Willing To Be People After The Lord's Own Heart!?!

Think On This Thing ...

Is The Lord Jesus Christ High ... Numero Uno

On Your List Of Priorities!?!

Is Truth Your Way!?!

Is Light Your Life!?!

Is Your Life Lost To The Dying World

And

Found Prospering In King Jesus!?!

Let Us Ponder These Words
In The Week Ahead:

Brethren, Beloved

To Taste, We Must Touch! 

To Fear, We Must Believe! 

To Trust, We Must Have Faith! 

To Exalt, We Must Have Hope! 

To Be Blessed
We Must Have Palms ... Hearts, Minds 
Cupped ... Opened ... To Receive The Outpouring! 

To Eternally Experience 
The Goodness Of The Lord Christ
We ... You And I
Must Be In A Committed Relationship 
With Him ... Here And Now! 

Are Your Eyes Open!?! 
Have You Purchased The Eye Salve From The Savior!?!

Is Your Carnal Palate Being Daily Cleansed 

By The Meat Of The Living Word

The Bread Of Heaven

The Water Of Life!?!

Hard Questions ...

Is Your Heart Still Hard
Or Have You Acquired The Offered Heart Of Flesh
From Jesus Christ The Lord!?! 
Where Are You Making Up Your Eternal Bed!?!

Soft Answers ...

Only Jesus Christ Saves The Soul From
The Second Death
And
Only Jesus Christ Satisfies Our Hungering Souls!
I Encourage Us All To Feast!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Faith ... First, Last And Always!

Unbelief And Guilt Are Darkness!

Faith And Righteousness Are Light!

The Promises Of God Provide For Our Pardon

And

Make The Way Plain For Us Willing

To Bring To Our Lord Pleasure And Delight!

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

Power, Riches, Wisdom, Strength

Honor, Glory, Blessing!

Who Or What Are You Talking About!?!

Jesus Christ The Lord!

Why!?!

He Is Coming To Earth Again!

And!?!

I Am Waiting For Him!

Why!?!

He Is Coming For Me!

Why!?!

He Loves Me!

I Love Him!

He Died To Save Me!
I Am His Greatly Beloved Child
And

That Entails Glory For Me!

He Purchased Me A Pardon!

For What!?!

What Did You Do!?!

I Sinned Against The Holy God!

I Was Marked For Death!

Jesus Christ Purchased The Pardon For Sin
For Me Personally

So I Am Awaiting His Coming Gladly!

That's Nice!

Can Anybody At All Get A Personal Pardon As Well!?!

Most Assuredly, My Friend!

There Is Water For Whosoever Will In The Well

That Gives Life To All Who Choose His Promises To Believe

And

Choose To Not Let Themselves ... Anymore

By Satan To Be Deceived!

I Like How You Said That!

What Do I Have To Do!?!

You Must Confess Your Known Sins!

You Must From Sinning Repent ...!

... Repent!?!

Yes!

Repent As In Turn Away From Sin

Don't Do It Again

Deny The Carnal Side Of Life

And

Do Not The Name Of The Living God Holy
Shame, Misuse ... Profane!

That's A Tough One!

Not At All, My Friend!

Jesus Christ Is The Answer!

He Has Given Us Access To The Father's Throne!

He Has Shown Us The Way To Live

Unveiled The Power Of Prayer Over The Sin Life

Modelled A Perfect Way To Pray For Help

Promised Us Power Over Sin

- At The Throne Of Grace -

And

Promised Us To Never Leave Us Alone!

For All Of Our Personal Sins

He, Himself ... Innocent

Before The Father ... Once For Us All ... Did Atone!

I Believe Him At His Holy Word

And

When He Comes Again
With Him, I Am Going Home!

Power, Riches, Wisdom, Strength

Honor, Glory, Blessing!

You Said That Already!
Why Are You Repeating Those Words Again!?!

They're A Reminder!

Of What!?!

They Are A Reminder That 
Jesus Christ Is King Of Heaven And Earth!

They Are All His Attributes!

He Has Them All

And

He Can Give To Me

If

I Am Faithful, Obedient, And Enduring!

Okay ... But I Don't Like That Enduring Bit!

That Sounds Like Trouble!

It Is!

Oh, Dear Lord!

Are You Mad!?!

Nope!

I Am Saved By Grace ... Through Faith!

Jesus Says His Grace Is Sufficient For Me

That He Will Never Leave Me Nor Forsake Me

That He Will Never Leave Me Comfortless

That He Is My Shepherd

That I Shall Not Know Want

That He Is Preparing A Place For Me

And

That Holy Angels ... Excelling In Strength

Guard And Protect Me

And

Influence Me To Do Good

So That I Shall Be Blessed!

Sounds Like A Good Setup!

Oh, It's Way More Than That!
It's A Foundation

A Roof

Tables

Chairs

Food

Fellowship

A Heavenly Banquet Prepared

For All Who Believe
Who Love

Honor, Trust, Worship, Obey

And

Care Enough To Be Prepared

To Meet The King When He Comes

And

His Eternal Glory Share!

I Hear You ... But I Have To Ask:
Is The Feast Really Worth The Enduring Bit!?!

Friend, 

Jesus Christ Conquered Sin, Self, Satan

Hell, Death
And 
The Cold, Cruel, Grave!

He ... As Triumphing Conqueror
Got Up From The Grave

Severing The Power Of Death
And

Demolishing Satan's Power Over Us!

Permit Me To Make Myself Plain:
I Believe The Lord Jesus Christ!

I Despise The Sin-Life!

I Am Walking To Narrow Way To Hill Zion

And

By Almighty God's Great Grace

I Am Going To Receive

Jesus Christ's Eternal Life!

Wow!

You Sound Confident!

I Am!

Why!?!

F A I T H!

Fellowship And Inspiration Through Hope ... In Jesus Christ!

He Gives To Me A Gift Of His Faith ... Every. Single. Day.

Hmmm ...
I Get A New Life!?!

You Get A New Life ... In The Lord Christ!

Faith!?!

A New Supply Each And Every Day!

Never Alone!?!

Not Even For A Second!

Never Comfortless!?!

The Holy Spirit Of Truth

With You Shall Abide!

Abide!?!

The Holy Spirit Will Be Taking Up Residence!

Do You Know What That Means!?!

Yes, Yes!
I Really Believe That I Do!

I Guess, I Know, I'll Have To Do A Garbage Run!

Spring Clean!

Out With The Old!

In With The New!

Can't Let The Esteemed Visitor

Reside In A Pig-Pen!

I Like You!

I Like How You Think!

Let's Walk And Talk Together: We Agree!

Jesus Christ Will Be Here In A Blink

In The Twinkling Of An Eye

When The Last Trumpet Shall Sound

When The Heavens Shall Roll Up Like A Scroll!

The Archangel's Voice Shall Sound

And

The Dead In Christ Shall Rise ... First

And

Those Faithful Living
Who On The Earth Shall Remain
Shall Join Them To Meet The Lord In The Air
And

His Redeemed People Glorying
Shall See The Lord Christ

With Undimmed Eyes!

Hallelujah!

AMEN!!! 

Do You Know That Song
In The Sweet By And By ...!?!

... Faith ... First, Last And Always!

HAPPY SABBATH + CROWWWWW + PRAYER: Bless Us To Bless Others, Father!

... I'm Sorry That I'm Late!
What's He Been Saying In The Preamble!?!

Search Me! 

I Don't Know And I Don't Care!

Wow! That's Some Attitude!

Who Squeezed Your Lemon!?!

His Pontificating Nibs, Himself

Harold Shamus Pickering

Our Preacher For Today!

I'm So Sick Of Him!

That's Not Like You, Terry!

What's Really Going On!?!

Ohhhh!
I'm Sorry For Being Grouchy And Unkind, Merlita!

It's Just That He Recently Caught Me

Having A Really Bad Day

And His Chastisement 
Was Not Well Appreciated By Me!

Oh, Dear!

Do You Want To Talk About It!?!

Not Really ... But I Need To!

Come On! Let's Go Outside!

We Still Have A Few More Minutes To Wait!

We'll Have Time To Talk Privately!

I Did Something Really Stupid 

And He, Rightfully, Upbraided Me

But ... Me Being Prideful

And In The Known Wrong

Didn't Take Kindly To The Real Kindness In His Rebuke! 

Oh, Dear!
But You Do Know That He Really Cares For You
And
That He Seriously Takes To Heart
His Position As The Lord's Underling-Shepherd
In Caring For All The Members
Of Our Little Flock, Don't You!?!

Yes, Yes, Yes! I Do!
Shame ... Remorse ... Anger ... Fear
All Got The Better Of Me
When He Quoted Me Jude 1:24-25!

Merciful Powers!
I Don't Even Want To Know What It Is That You Did
But
You Must Know, Terry, That 
Only Jesus Christ Saves 

And 

Only Those Who CROWWWWW
Aka Confess, Repent, Obey
And 
Wisely Walk, Work, Watch 
And 
Wait Upon Him

- Clothed In The Fire-Proof Garment Of His Righteousness - 

Will Stand Safely In The Light Of His Glorious Presence! 

May I Speak Plainly!?!

Yes, Aimee, You May!

The Holy Spirit Is Still Working With You!
You Attend Church Faithfully
And
You Talk A Good Game
But
Are You Allowing Yourself To Be Washed In The Blood!?!

When Are You Going To Forsake The World!?!

When Are You Going To Let Go Of Self!?!

We Sin By Thought, Word And Deed ... Everyday!
Are You Confessing 
And 
Repenting Of Your Known Sins!?!

You Claim To Be Walking With The Lord
But
Are You Walking In Obedience!?! 

By Your Own Admission
You Know That You Have Been Acting Foolishly
But
I Am Boldly Asking You
When Are You Going To Finally Be Wise About
Your Soul's Purchased Salvation!?!
When Are You Going To Stop Living 
By Your Carnal, Lying, Deceitful, Eyesight!?!

When Are You Going To Accept That 
The Living God Reveals Himself To
And
Restores, Heals And Helps Those 
Who Choose To Trust Him Wholly!?!
When Are You Going To Start Using Your Faith
For Something That Truly Will Profit You!?!

When I Think Of You
I Remember The Apostle Peter
When Jesus Said To Him:

"... And When Thou Art Converted
Help The Brethren!"

You Would Be A Real Blessing To The Kingdom Of Light
If 
You Will Let The Lord Lead You!

Terry ... Beloved
Please Reach For The Hand Which Saves

And 

Seals

And 

You Will Be Blessed To Be Blessed Forever 
When Jesus Christ Comes Again! 

Please, I Beseech You
Stop Running
And
Act Now
And
You Shall Have The Peace 
For Which We Both Know That You Are Seeking ...!

... You Mean Desperately Seeking!

Very Well!

I Accept Your Word!

I'm So Very Tired Of Running From Almighty God!
I Need That Perfect Peace That Jesus Christ Promises!
I Desire To Have The Lord Be Pleased With Me!

Hallelujah To The Lamb!

You Don't Know How Long

I Have Wanted To Hear You Say That!

Well, My Friend!

Today Is Your Luck- ... Uh, Blessed Day!

I Am Surrendering My Will To The Lord!

I Am Going To Walk ... Wisely

In His Glorious Way!

Praise The Lord For Present Grace!

Bless The Lord For Coming Glory!

PRAYER:

Father,

Please Be With Your Children This Night

And

Bless Us To Ever Walk Wisely

In Your Eyes

So That We Will Always Defeat

The Lying Works

Of

Our Adversary, The Devil!

Be With Each And Every One Of Us

Who Pray 

And

Who Look With Longing

For The Coming Great Day!

Bless Us To Bless Others!

Teach Us To Teach Others!

Guide Us To Guide Others!

Love Us To Love Others

And

Use Us So That We Will Not Use Others!

Please Pour Out Of Your Sweet Spirit

Upon Our Flesh

And

Bless Us To Willingly Do Your Bidding!

Guard Us!

Guide Us!

Keep Us!

Feed Us

And

Lead Us Gently Home

For It Is In Jesus Christ's Holy Name

That We Pray And Plead!

Please Come For Us Soon!

We Love You And Need You!

Have Mercy!

AMEN!

GOSSIP: Harpooned!

There's A Whale Of A Tale
About A Whale's Tail
Which He Would Flail
And That Without Fail!

Now ... A Whale's Tail
Is A Thing That Flails Like A Sail
Because, Well
A Whale Tells Its Tale With Its Tail!

Just Because You Can Tell A Tale
It Doesn't Mean That A Tale Should Be Told!
Just Because You Have A Tail
It Doesn't Mean That You Should Wave It Bold!

When Whalers Were Whaling
The Whalers Watched For The "Blow Hard"
To Broadcast From His Blow Hole
 And Without Fail
That Whale Got Himself Harpooned!
Very Soon Thereafter He Was Nothing But Lard ... Oil!

Nice Story!
What's Your Point!

Stop Broadcasting Your Guts To The World!
Your Faults: Tell To The Brethren!
Your Sins You Tell To The Lord!
Everything That You Know
You Do Not Have About It To Speak
So Learn To Keep Your Own Counsel
And
Stop Making It Your Mission
Other People's Business To Leak!

Back It Up, People!
The Gauntlet Has Been Thrown Down
And We All Know What's Going To Happen
Now That Soni Has Been Dragged Up The Grater
And ... Down!
Looka Dah Frown!

Pull Yourself Together, Minnot!
There Will Be No Having Out In Here!
The Lord Has Given Us Clear Counsel, Brother
So, Please Take Your Chair!

Brethen, Beloved

To Indulge In Idle Gossip
Is 
Not The Place Of The Child Of God
Because
It Is An Evil Disease
And
We Will Be Called Upon To Give An Accounting
When We Stand Before The Judge
Jesus Christ Our Lord!

We Have A Work To Do For Our Master
And
We Must Desist With All Heavenly Power
From Doing The Work Of Satan ... Our Adversary
The Known And Damned God-Fraud!

We Are Called To Do Good ...!

... And Good Will Attend Us!

Indeed!
With That Said
Let's Let The Word Of Truth
Speak To Our Hearts:

Now Listen Carefully To Me:

Man, Of His Own Accord
- Following His Own Selfish Inclinations -
Will Not Seek To Do That Which Is Good! 

However, Those Of Us 
Who Have Taken The Lord Christ For Our Inheritance 
And 
Are Walking In The Light Of The Sun Of Righteousness 
Will Do All The Good That We Can 
To Bless Others 
And Ultimately
Bless Ourselves In The Doing! 

Our Reward Comes From The Lord Himself 
So Let Us Not Do Our Good Deeds 
To Receive The Putrid Praise Of Carnal-Minded Men 
Who Love And Worship Self 
And 
Deny The Sovereignty 
And 
Power Of Almighty God! 

Almighty God Is Good All The Time 
And 
As The Lord Christ Has Commissioned
Commanded
So Should His People Ever Be! 

Do Good Today And Be Blessed! 
Confess And Repent Of Known Sin And Be Blessed!
Bless The Lord By Your Willing, Faithful, Service
And
Be Blessed To Be A Holy Spirit-Filled Success!

Gossip Is The Serpent's Nest!

Do Not Indulge Gossip

Not Even As The So-Called Jest!
