VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Trouble In The Land!?!

There Was A Famine Coming To Egypt Land:
Jacob-Israel's Son, Prime Minister Joseph
Gathered Grain To Make Good-Eating Bread!
There Is A Famine Coming In This Modern Time:
Dear Christian, 
Gather The Word: It Is Living Bread Not Dead!

Be Wise ...

Above All Else
Become Aware Of Streaming Time
Of Where You Stand
Of Whom You Serve
Of What You Can Do For Your Master
And
Of What He Is Doing ... Has Done
And
Will Surely Do For You
And
What He Had Done And Is Doing
In The Lives Of Myriad Believing Others! 
This Knowledge Will Strengthen You!

The Glorious God Gives Wisdom ...
 

Understand What Needs To Be Done
And
What Needs To Be Done, Personally, By You!

Accept And Believe That He Who Sends You
Will Equip, Lead, Feed
And 
Most Assuredly Protect You!

The Lord Equips The Called!

He Does Not Call The Equipped!

Dare To Unflinchingly Trust 
The Holy Word Of Him Who Calls You

The Living Word Of Him Who Sends You

And

Dispossessing Yourself Of Every Scintilla Of Doubt 

Go Where Your Lord Sends You

Do What He Says

Take No Contrary Instruction From Anyone

Who Is Not The Lord Who Commissioned You To Perform

And

Leave The Outcome In The Hands Of Your Lord And God

Who Cannot

Who Will Not Ever Lie!
Don't Forget That For You, Personally, He Did Bleed And Die!

Understand And Remember, Beloved

That There Are Those Who Allegedly "Work" For Heaven

That Are Sent From 
And
Get Paid At The Gates Of Hell!

Giving Off An Aura Of Light

Does Not Make One An Angel

A Messenger Of Almighty God!

Let No One Deceive You ...

There Are Ministers Of That Other Jesus

Ministers Of That Other Gospel

Who Tell Lies To Almighty God's People ... For Profit

For Prestige

For Fear

For Worldly Acceptance!

Through Heaven's Pearly Gates They Never Gain Entrance!

Everybody Who Says:

"Lord, Lord!"

Shall Not Enter Into 

The Kingdom Of Heaven!

Remember,

Only Jesus Christ Saves
And

Jesus Christ, Alone, Can Create

And

Destroy! 

Beloved,
Fear Him Who Commands The Blessing
And
Worship Him Who Will Raise Us Up From Death
To Meet Him In The Air
When He Breaches The Eastern Sky! 

The Redeemed Faithful
To His Side
On Wings Of Eagles
Shall Surely Fly!

Thought For The Week Ahead:

 

The Highest Form Of Worship 
Is 
Obedience
And

Christians Are Called To Be Doers Of The Word 

And 

Not Just Hearers!

Jesus Christ Says To Us All: 

If You Love Me

Keep My Commandments! 

To Obey Is Better Than To Sacrifice!

Brethren,

We Are Servants 
Who Are Also Sons And Daughters Of
The Eternal God Holy
So, Please, Let Us Who Are Sacrificially Loved

And 

Blessed With Mercy Because Of Grace

Be Obedient To Our Lord ... Unto Death 
Which, For The Saints Of God And Christ

Is 

Sleep From Which He Shall Awaken Us
In The Day Appointed! 

The Dead In Christ Shall Rise First!

The Word Of The Lord Christ
Is
A Sure And Secure Word
So Do All By The Holy Spirit Of Truth
To Believe, Trust, And Obey The Lord Always!

You Most Assuredly Will Be Blessed Always

And Then

Forevermore! 

The Promise Of The Living God
Is 
Written In The Innocent Blood Of Jesus Christ The King
Our Soon-Returning Lord! 

Let Your Answer

To The Lord God Almighty

Always Be

"Yeah!" And "Amen!"

HAPPY SABBATH + People With Problems!?!

Man 
Is 
Choosing ... By His Own Fallible Wisdom

To Tell The World
And
To Tell The Almighty God 
Who The Almighty God Is

Instead Of Choosing To Accept The Word Of 
The Holy One Who Is Wisdom

Who Shows To All That He Is Good And Faithful

And

Does Not Indulge In God-Fraud!

If We Don't Already Know It
Then Let Me Tell Us All Plainly:
We Are People With Problems!

First Off The Bat
Let's Just Admit The Truth
About Our Seeking After Man's Approval
And
Earthly Rewards

Instead Of Seeking The Approval Of The True And Living God

And 
Staking Our Purchased Lives 
On Receiving The Heavenly Reward!

Earthly Rewards Perish!

Brass Rings

Silver Cups

And Gold Coins

Cannot Enter Heaven!

Admission Is By Reproducing
In Your Own Life

The Righteous Character Of Jesus Christ!

When We Refuse The Truth Of The Eternal God
And
Choose To Follow Another Jesus Christ
And
Learn From Another Gospel
We Are Raising Rabid Attack Dogs In Our Beds

Who Viciously Bite At Our Edible And Exposed Throats!

And

Because We Are Choosing The Liar Instead Of The Lord
We Are Harboring Known-Poisonous Snakes In Our Warm Bosoms

Who Wittingly ... And By Their Nature
Manufacture Our Brutal, Stinging, Uncomfortable Deaths!

Those Who Die In The Faith Of Jesus Christ

Die With The Certain Hope Of 

The Sure Resurrection Of The Just

Who Live By The Faith Of Jesus Christ!

Brethren,

We Are Called Believers 
Because
We Have Faith After Having Heard 
Not Just Any Old Word
But
The Word ... The Living Word Of Almighty God
So, Please, I Beseech Us
Let's Stop Giving Dread Doubt A Foothold
And Instead
Let's Start Giving Over Our Hearts To The Faith
The Living Faith Of The Holy Jesus

Which Cannot Fail Us!

The Name ... The Character Of 

The Lord Jesus Christ

Is A Strong Tower!

Those Who Are Righteous Run Into It

And Are Safe!

We Need To Stop ... Right Now ... This Very Minute

Indulging In Willful Blindness

And
Permitting Itching Ears

To Lead Us Into Sure Disgrace
Because
We Lack Working Faith!

Faith Without Works Is Dead!

We Know That The Word Of Almighty God Is True!
We Know That Jesus Christ Saves!
We Know That Satan Is The Liar And Murderer Supreme!
We Know That Satan's House Is Built On Sinking Sand
And
We Know That The Lord's House Is A Sure House
Built On The Rock Of Ages
That Shall Stand Forever!
Why, Then
Are We Indulging Creeping Compromise
Permitting The Unsavory Desires Of
Those Who Would Be God And King
Those Who Would Force Conscience
Those Who Would Compel Free Will
Those Who Would Choose Your God For You
To Cause Us To Doubt The Love Which Will Not Let Us Go
The Love Which Cannot Fail!?!

Our Sin Is Not Stronger Than Our Savior!
Our Hope In Jesus Christ Will Not Fail
Nor Will It Lead Us To Hell Which Is Prepared For Satan
So Why, In The Name Of All That Is Holy
Are We Permitting Others To Cause Us To Doubt
To Disbelieve
To Dishonor
To Disobey Our Creator And Sustainer God Almighty
Who Paid The Price 
- With Jesus Christ's Innocent Blood -
For Our Own Personal, Egregious, Sin!?!

Isn't It About Time That We Choose To Stand Up
And
To Speak Out 
For The Truth Of The God Of Heaven
Though The Heavens Fall Upon Our Heads!?! 

Do We Not Have The Promise That
Those Who Die In The Lord
Shall Rise Up To Live Forever With The Lord Of Life!?!

Jesus Christ Said

He Would Lay Down His Life

And He Did!

Jesus Christ Also Said That

He Would Take Up His Life Again

And He Did!
Jesus Christ Says What He Will Do
And
He Does What He Promises To Do!

Jesus Christ Saves!
Almighty God's Promises Are "Yeah!" And "Amen!"
And
We Have The Sure Word:

 

Listen To Me Carefully, Brethren!

Those Who Presumptuously Take The Word Of Almighty God 
And
Turn It Into A Lie 
By Rewriting, Reinterpreting, Reframing
Reimagining It
And 
Teaching It To Others To Cover Known Sin 
Are In For A Rude Awakening! 

Finite Man Can't Unseat 

The Infinite God

From His Glorious Throne 

So Almighty God's Word Stands! 

Take Heed, Beloved!
Lawless Men Recasting Almighty God 
Into Their Carnal, Lustful, Greed-Propelled, Sinful Image 
Will Fail And Fall As Satan Did
And 
Will Receive Satan's Ordained Reward! 

Jesus Christ, Almighty God
Is 
Holy, Just, Loving, Kind
And 
Unfailingly True! 
Let's Give Unto Him ... I Beseech Us All
Willing Worship, Glory, Honor And Heartfelt Praise! 

Let's Fear Our Holy God
Not With Ungodly Fear
But
With Holy Awe
And
Let Us, By His Grace, Obey His Every Word!
When We Do This, Brethren,
We Will Be Blessed To Live Forever 
With Jesus Christ Who Infinitely Loves Us! 
May The Lord Of All Keep Us Faithful!

Obedience Pays!

Jesus Christ Obeyed His Father

And His Obedience Paid For Man's Sin

And Purchased For All Mankind

The Gift Of Free Grace

Which Is Always Sufficient!

In Faith, Please Call Upon Jesus Christ

Who Knows, And Can Fill, All Your Needs!

The Day That C. B. F. C. C. Opened For Business

Just Outside The Borders Of D. Lord's Glorious Land

Was No Exception!

The Day Was Just Fantabulous We Have Been Told!

C. B. F. C. C. 
Is 
A Multinational Entity

Or More Particularly,  To Be Strictly Upfront And Honest

It's A Personal, Family-Type Business 
With A Global Foot-Print!

Are You Going To Tell Us What Them Letters Stand For!?!

Oh! My Bad!

C. B. F. C. C. Is Private Label, Invitation Only
And

Depending Upon Where Or Ah, Uh, 
How You Personally Operate

As A Faithful Customer

Known-Hopeful Future Resident Of D. Lord's Promised Land

Is

Credit Bureau For Committed Christians

Credit Bureau For Casual Christians

Credit Bureau For Critical Christians

Credit Bureau For Consummate Christians

Credit Bureau For Caustic Christians

Credit Bureau For Cruel Christians

And

Every Other Iteration Of Christian

It Is Possible To Crab Or Cobble Up!

Of Course

The Customers Of C. B. F. C. C. 

Only Ever Were Aware Of One Name:

C. B. F. C. C. 

Credit Bureau

Those Who Were Bold Enough 
To Enquire About The Meaning Of The Acronym

Just Like You Have

Were Told That It Meant:

Citizens Bearing Faith Call Cash

Credit Bureau

Credit Bureaus Don't Give Cash!

Credit Bureaus Give The Scores That Deliver

Access To Cash And Credit!

This Sounds Like Bare Rubbish!

Tsk, Tsk, Tsk!

The Lord God Almighty Said:

My People Are Destroyed

For Lack Of Knowledge!

Wait A Minute!

D. Lord

Promised Land

Lack Of Knowledge

Credit Bureau Aka Score Card

Just Outside ... At The Border Of The Promised Land ...!

Let Me Get This Straight ...!

... Let Me Tell You Straight ...!

... Oh, Be Quiet!

Have Any Of You Gotten A "Credit Report"

From This Place!?!

Sure Did!

The Offer Was Free And They Are Offering A Score-Boost!

I Like Free And I'm Planning On Inhabiting One Of 

The Lovely Homes Offered For Sale ...!

... Lord Jesus, Save These Lambs Marked For Slaughter!

What, Pray Tell, Are You Talking About!?!

Don't You People Ever Crack Open Your Bibles!?!

Sure Do, And Up To This Morning, I Did!

Same Here!

People, People, People!

It's Time To Back-Back So That We May Go Forward

And

With Wisdom And Understanding

Exercise The Knowledge That The Lord God Almighty

Has Left For Us To Mine

And

To Become Rich In Unperishable Goods

And

Not Rich In Trespasses

As Is The Goal Of This Guttersnipe-Operation

Masquerading As A Credit Bureau!

1. Christians Can't Earn Credit To Get Into Heaven!
 1A. Mansions In The Father's House Are Free!

2. Christians Can't Do Anything 
To Help Cause Themselves To Be Made Clean 
Save Confess And Repent Of Known Sin

And

Obey The Lord Of Life's Commands!
 2B. Forgiveness Is Paid For For All And Is Free To All!

3. Jesus Christ Paid For All Our Sins

And 
He, Being The Son Of Almighty God

Makes Those Of Us 
Who Boldly Approach The Throne Of Grace In Faith

Clean Indeed!
 3A. Confession And Repentance For Known Sin Is Currency!

4. Man Can't Earn Nor Buy His Way Into Heaven!
 4. Access To Heaven Is The Free Gift Of The Living God!

5. Any Organization Offering You Tips And Tricks 
To Raise Your Credit Score With Jesus Christ

Is 
Working For Beelzebub The Bold

Satan

The Lying Serpent Of Old!
 5. Jesus Christ Already Settled The Score With Satan
With Final Fixings To Come ... Real Soon!

People, 

We Need To Stop This Judas-Goat, Damnable, Work!

We Live And Speak Of 
And 
Praise The Lord Christ

But

A Lot Of Us Ain't Doing It With Any Understanding!

Knowing About God Almighty

Is Not 
The Same As Personally Knowing God Almighty
In The Person Of Jesus Christ The Lord 

And

This Operation Offering You An Easy "In" 
Is 
A Credit Bureau For The Damned

For Those Who Will Never Enter The Lord Of Life's Promised Land

Because

They Don't Really Know Jesus Christ

And

They Don't Hold The Son Of Man's Hand! 

Brethren,

We Worship The Great And Glorious God
The Depths Of Whose Love For Us
And 
Grace Towards Us
We Shall Never Be Able To Exhaust 
Or Completely Understand 
Because
For The Unceasing Years Of Eternity 
We Will Be Learning 
And 
Gaining More And Broader Understanding Of 
The Holy God Of Love Who Has Taken Us 
For His Very Own Inheritance! 

Jesus Christ, Himself
Is
The Way, The Door
Through Which We Enter The Promised Land!
He Is Also The Light
Which Lightens The Way To Life In That Glorious Land!

Please, I Beseech Us All
Let's Take Time To Dig In The Good Book 
To Get To Learn Of Him 
Who Calls Us Sons And Daughters Of 
The Eternal God Who, Alone, Blesses And Saves! 

Let's Call Upon The Lord
And
Sing His Praise
And 
Tell Of His Goodness To Us ... Personally! 

We Shall Be Taught By God Throughout Eternity! 
Let's Avidly Seek To Understand Our Lord 
By Learning All We Can Now
But
Rest Assured
The Best Is Yet To Come!

Beloved,

Let's Pray, And Study, And Plod On!
Jesus Christ Saves! 

Pride! Inordinate Personal Pride!

 

If You Incubate The Sinful Pride Of Satan

You Cannot Have Pride In Christ Jesus

Abiding In Your Person!

Pride Is Pride!

Bite Your Tongue!

Stop Showing Us That You've Been Visiting

Heathens 'R Us

And That You've Picked Up

The Grand Special Of The Day!

Enough Already!

Pride Is Nothing To Joke About!

We're In This Mess 
Because 
A Certain Someone Thought Himself Big Stuff

Bigger Even Than His Maker

And 
He Is All Now Selling His Joy-In-Self Juice

To Men, Women And Children

Be They Rich Or Poor

Free Or Slave

On The Profound Benefits Of

"Promoting Rugged Individualism

And

Directing Personal Elevation!"

Just Like Sin ... Which Pride Is

There Is No Profit In Pride!

Pride Causes Lies!

Lies Cause Hatred!

Hatred Causes Murder!

Murder Leads To Condemnation 

And

Ultimately Eternal Destruction

To Which Pride's Known Instigator

Is 
Ultimately And Currently Headed!

If Pride Does All That

Why Should We Have Pride In Christ Jesus!?!

Note The Different, Brethren:

There Is The Wicked, Self-Serving
Idol-Worshipping, Pride Of Satan

And

Then There Is The Humble, Heartfelt, Worshipful Pride 

That Regenerated Christians
Have In Our Holy God 
And 
Blessed-Forever Creator Jesus Christ The King
Our Faithful, Giving, Forgiving, Blessing Savior And Lord!

Pride Is A Boast
And

We, Christians, Should Justifiably Boast Of Our Lord

Who Is Able To Heal, Seal And Save 

Every Single Human

Past, Present And Future 

Who Chose, Who Is Choosing

And

Who Will Choose The Lord Christ

For Their Eternal Portion!

We Boast Of The Holy One In Whom Is Our Profit!

We Are Creatures

And

We Are Of No Value Outside Of The Lord Christ

In Whom We Live, Breathe, And Have Our Being

Aka Existence!

As The Song-Writer Penned

"We Can't Even Walk Without Jesus Holding Our Hand!"

So, Since Satan Is A Created Being
Just Like Every One Of Us

What's With Him And The Pride Thing!?!

Beloved, That Is Simple:
He Looked At Himself Instead Of At His Creator-God

In Whose Personal Presence He Served

And

He Loved And Preferred What He Saw Of Himself
Instead Of Loving And Preferring Whom He Served

And

He Decided That He Should Be Where His Creator Is Stationed!

That's Stupid!

That's Reality!

Pride Places Its Adherents On The Universe's Throne

And

Prideful Self Arrogantly Refusing To Be Humbled

Demands To Be The Recipient Of The Adulation

Reserved

For ... I'm Repeating Myself

The Eternal, Holy, Loving, Blessing
Forgiving, Known-Almighty, God!

Satan Is A Fraud

- The God-Fraud -

And

As Prophesied 

He Shall Be Brought Down To Hell ...!

... He And All Who Act As He Did ... Does!

Brethren, 

We Need To Consider 
The Cities Of The Eden-Like 
Aka Garden Of God Plains! 

Oh, Dear! 

I Knew You Were Going To Say That! 

Did You Have To Say That!?! 

The Planned Sins Of Pride

Gluttony, Laziness
An Unfeeling Nature

And 

Abominable Sexual Practices 

Led To The Destruction Of Sodom And Gomorrah 
By Almighty God! 

These Same Sins Are Present Within Our Nations Today 

And 

They Must Be Despised 

And 

Condemned By All Those Who Love The Lord Jesus 

And 

Desire To See Our Homelands Prosper And Survive
And
To Receive The Lord In Peace When He Comes Again! 

Sadly, Inevitably
The Ordained Reckoning Is Coming
So Let's Humble Ourselves And Pray

And 

Confess And Turn Away From All Sin Within Ourselves

So That We May Be Blessed And Forever Saved! 

Almighty God Doesn't Play
And He Doesn't Stutter!
He Means Exactly What He Says! 

Almighty God 
Is 
Long-Suffering Toward Us

But

The Great Day Of Small Things

Is

Inexorably Marching Towards Us All! 

Beloved,

We Always Live In Today!
Today Is Dwelling In The Realm Of Time 

And 

Time Is Made For Change!

We Must Act Now 

If 
We Will Make 
And 
Know Peace With Our God! 

Remember,
Godless Pride And Fleeting Time Are Finite Structures
And
Satan-Actuated, Godless Pride Promises 
What Only Almighty God Can Deliver!

Tomorrow Is Promised To No Human!
