We Are Sacrificially Loved

By The God Of The Universe!

Let's Live Like We Know It!

Let's Show It By Thought

By Word

And In Deed!

Our God Is Truly Awesome!
We Serve The Holy God 
Who Is Touched By The Feelings Of Our Infirmities: 
We Are Blessed Forever! 

We Worship The Eternal God 
Who Is Our Help And Our Shield: 
He Will Do Everything To Aid Us 
And 
He Can Shield Us From All That Assails Us! 
Trust, Obey And Ask!

Let Us, Therefore
Remember Whom It Is That We Worship
Give Thanks Unto 
And

And 
Straighten Our Wobbling Knees

Let Us Hold Out Steady Hands To Accept All That 
Our Loving King And Shepherd Has For Us! 

Brethren, Beloved

Jesus Christ Is Our Perfect Peace!
Peace!

THE CHOICE WEAPON: Reason With The Lord!

Satan, The Adversary Of Souls
The Accuser Of The Brethren
Has An Arsenal Of Weapons At His Ready Disposal! 

He Doesn't Need A Research And Development Department

Because

He Is The Death-Dealer Of Old!

He Is The Weapon Sharp And Cold

And

If You Believe For A Mere Moment That

Against Him, You Shall Surely Stand

Consider Who It Is That He First Stood Against

And

Take Your Place At The Throne Of Grace

In The Name Of Jesus Christ The Righteous 

The Son Of God

Our Creator-God

The Beloved Son Of Man! 

Even Though Satan ... That Piercing Serpent
Was Roundly Defeated

He Learnt One Very Special Thing

- Almighty God Loves Us Sacrificially -

And

To "Save" Face

And

Defend The Indefensible

He Devised Several Weapons That Against Man
Will Always Work

If

We Are Not Confessed And Repented
And

Prayed Up And Pardoned
Sheltered And Protected

By Jesus Christ

Our Loving Savior, Lord, And Eternal God! 

A Choice Weapon Of Satan

Is

That Ugly Dart Called Accusation!

For Real!
He Accuses And We "Must" Defend!

It's Just Like That Movie

Called "I Know What You Did Last Summer!"

I Hope You Guys Know That

Satan Encourages You To Sin

But

He Can't Make You Sin!

FYI: He Is The One Who Rats You Out To The Lord!

And

He Is The Very One

- Even After You Confess And Repent Of Your Known Sin

And

Have Been Forgiven By The Just, Faithful, One -

Who Takes Perverse Pleasure

In Reaping Up Old Deads

And

Throwing The Dust Of Past Deeds In Your Ashamed Face!

Jesus Christ's Forgiveness ... To Us
Is

"Yes, Lord!" And "AMEN!"

We Have A Choice:

Believe God And Walk With Faith In Humble Dignity

Or

Believe The Artful Liar

The Deceiver

The Accuser Of The Brethren

The Piercing Serpent

And

Doubt Our God Holy

And

Become Weighted Down With Non-Existent Sin!

It's Always A Choice Thing!

Remember The Sea Of

Almighty God's Forgetfulness!

On Another Ever More Pertinent Note

Have You Accepted 

And

Made Full Use Of Your Invitation!?!

What Invitation!?!

I Didn't Get Any Invitation!

Tsk, Tsk, Tsk!

You All Are Getting Really Careless

When It Is Time To Get Real And Conscientious

Meticulous 
And 
Ever On Target!

Simple Faith 

And 

Unquestioning Obedience 

Are Required Attributes Of Character 

If 

We Are To See Jesus Christ In Peace! 

Jesus Calls To Us Saying: "Come Now!" 

Obey Now! 

Jesus Says: "Let Us Reason Together!" 
Reason Is A Two-Way Street! 
Cooperate Fully 
And 
Communicate Gladly! 

Our Lord Jesus Has Made A Promise Of 

Total Cleansing From Sin 

And 

He Will Do All That He Says He Will Do For Us Believers!

In Faith
Let Him Personally, Abundantly, Bless You! 

Mustard Seed Faith Moves Real
And 
Even Supposed, Mountains! 

Unholy Doubt Decimates! 

Working Faith Elevates! 

Doubt Condemns ... And Damns! 

Exercised Faith Is Trust ... Is Praise 
And

Willing Obedience 

Is 

Heartfelt Worship 

And 

The Accepted 
And 
Utilized Word Of Truth 
Sets The Willing Soul Free! 

Remember, Remember, Don't Ever Forget That 
Our Lord Jesus Christ 
Is 
Creator, Savior, Redeemer, Friend
And
God Almighty!
Exercise Your Gift Of Faith
Trust Him Wholly

And 

Enduringly Obey! 

Infinite Blessings Unimaginable Await Us!

Remember ... Always Remember, Beloved 

Jesus Christ, Alone
Is 
Our Peace! 

Let Us Depart This Place In Peace
To Love And Serve Our Lord!

AMEN!!!

Know Jesus Christ

Your Only Savior

To Counteract Satan

Your Sworn Enemy!

IN TIME OF CRISIS: Remember Whose You Are! + PRAYER: Father, Please Rebuke The Devourer!

There Is Nothing That We Are

Will Be, Have, Or Will Receive That 
Cannot Be Laid At The Feet Of Our Lord
The King, Our Creator, Savior
Provider, Sustainer, Redeemer, Jesus Christ! 

In This Time Of Crisis
Let Us Remember Whose We Are
And 
Let Us Prayer In Faith ... Nothing Wavering
For Relief, For Release
For Blessing
For Health, For Cure 
And
For Salvation: The Devourer Is Raging Against Us!

PRAYER:

Heavenly Father, 

Merciful, Giving, Loving, Gracious God

Have Mercy Upon Us! 

We Cannot Help Ourselves, Nor Others

Without Your Blessing! 

Father, 

We See Our Need 

And

With Humility

We Come Boldly To Your Throne 

Seeking The Help You Promised To Provide! 

We Sin Against You

By Thought, Word And Deed,

And We Confess Our Sins 

And The Sins Of Our Nation

And We Repent

And Turn To You

In The Name Of The Beloved Jesus 

So That We May Be Saved

And

Blessed Into The Living Kingdom! 

Please Rebuke The Devourer! 

Please Forgive Our Sins

And

Please Heal Our Land 

For You Are Almighty God

And

Well Able! 

We Praise And Worship You! 

We Thank You For Hearing

And

Answering The Pray Of Faith:

You Asked Us To Pray And Not Faint! 

We Believe, Lord!

Please Rid Us Of Unbelief! 

We Love You! 

Please Grant Us These Few Petitions

In Jesus Christ's Great Name, We Plead! 

Please Come For Us Soon! 

AMEN!

The Coming Of The Lord Is Near ...! 

... And He Will Be On Time 

Because 

He Is The On-Time God! 

He Is Faithful To His Every Word: 

He Cannot Lie, Nor Deny Himself! 

Brethren, 

Keep Living In Hope

And

Keep Your Hope For Heaven Alive! 

Jesus Christ Ever Lives

And

He Always Saves!

YOU KNOW THE TRUTH: Dare To Be Brave!

Are You Safe!?! 

Do You Know That You Are Safe 
Under The Banner Of The Almighty God 

Or 
Are You Trusting The Say-So
The Personal Experience Of Another Person 

To Know That You Are Safe In The Lord Christ
The Eternal King
The Faithful And Just Judge!?! 

All Who Enter The Kingdom Of Glory 
Will Have Their Own, Personal, Relationship With Jesus

Will Know What He Says

Will Eagerly Do His Will

And 

Will Walk Wisely, From Grace To Glory
Because 

They Know The Voice Of Christ Jesus

Have Made An Unshakeable Commitment To Him

And 

Walk With Assurance In His Word ... According To His Will 

Because Of 

Love, And Real Trust! 

Trust In The Lord 

And 

Be As Mount Zion 

For There Is Where You Shall Eternally Abide! 

Work Your Faith, Experience Life In Christ Here 

And 

Be Blessed Forever With Life With Christ In Zion! 

The Facts Remain ...

We Who Call Ourselves Christians
Have Got To Take A Stand
And
Let The Whole World Definitively Know That
We Are Committed Followers Of
The Son Of The Eternal Holy God
Jesus Christ The Righteous
The Loving Son Of Man!

It Is Getting Toward Crunch Time
And Therefore
Not Time To Grow Weary, Be Afraid, Or Faint
Because
It Is Time To Wear The Whole Armor Of God
As Befits His Living Saints!

You Know Truth: Live It!
You Know The Holy Way: Walk Boldly On It!
You Are A Lamp: Burn Brightly!
Brethren,
It Is Time To Awaken From Sleep
You Who Are Jesus Christ's Faithful Lambs And Sheep!

You Are Not Forsaken: Trust The Promise!
Holy Angels Are Protecting You: Be Brave!
Now Is Not The Time To Be A Doubter
Or To Revert To Being A Sin-Slave!

We Have Perfect Peace!
We Have Available Grace!
We Have Mercy Ever Free
And
We Do, Indeed, Have The Perfect Love Of Our King Jesus
Who To The Father's House Of Joys Forevermore And Rest
Is
The Sure ... The Only ... Key!

Jesus Christ Does For Us What No Created Hand Can
So Dare To Be Brave
And
Reach For The Extended Holy Hand
Which Is So Scarred And So Gentle
Which Is Sheltering Strong
Which Was Extended, Pinned, For Our Salvation
Where For Us Sacrificial Love Is Always Found!
In His Embrace, We Belong!

Dare To Be Brave!
Dare To Hope And Trust!
Dare By Faith To Endure What Must Come
And
Know For A Surety
In The Glad Throng At The Last Trumpet
You Shall Surely Be Found!

Jesus Christ Saves!

COUNTING COUP: Counting Costs

The Lord Chose Me

So I Choose The Lord

And

By His Great Grace

I Shall No More Associate With The God-Fraud!

Jesus Christ Made Sacrifices

To Make It Possible For Me ... For Us

To Appear Before The Throne Of Grace

But

Before That Will Benefit Us

We Must Give Up Everything

That Engenders Our Disgrace!

Everybody Loves To Prate About Winning

About Their Counting Coup

But

I Suggest To Us, Dear Brethren

That Counting Costs 

Would Be Better For Me, For You!

Sacrifice Is A Bad, Bad, Word

According To Those Who Know Not Christ

And

These Are The Very Ones Who Reject Introspection 

And

Fall For The Always Charming

Demonic Device!

What Is Counting Coup!?! 

Good Question! 

Counting Coup Is Tallying One's Victories Over A Personal Enemy

At The Risk Of Injury Or Death! 

Problem Is That Many In The Mortal Strife 

Believe That That Works With Satan!

They "Play" His Game 
And 
Don't See Visible Injury Or Suffer Immediate Death 

So They Dare To Think That They Have Won Something! 

Self-Deceived Is The Worst Kind Of Deception! 

Willful Ignorance Leads To The Lasting Curse!

Jesus Christ Had To Die To Save All Mankind

So What Makes Us Think That 
We Wouldn't Have To Definitely Die To Self 
And 
Decidedly Die To Sin

If We Are To Enter The Living Kingdom!?! 

Brethren, 

Jesus Christ 
And 
Personal Sacrifice Are Synonymous! 
We Are Regenerated Christians
And

The Regenerated Christian 
And 
Personal Sacrifice Should Also Be The Same! 

That Is A Hard Saying: Who Can Bear It!?! 

Since You Ask
Jesus Christ Is Blunt About It:

Travelling To Heaven 

Is Not 

Cheap Or Easy! 

Costs Are Incurred 
And 
Expenses Must Be Paid

But 

Not With Man-Generated Currency! 

We Who Faithfully Follow The Lord Christ 

Must Choose To Endure All Things

And

Give Up Everything

If 

We Will Enter The Holy City! 

Everything!?! 

Everything!
Every Single Solitary Thing As In

Possessions, Position, Property
Privileges, Passions, Pursuits
Progenitors ... And Progeny!

It Has All Got To Be Given The Kibosh! 

We've Got To Let It All Go! 

Jesus Christ ... Our Jesus Christ

Gave Up Glory

The Loving Community Of His Father 
And 
The Heartfelt, Constant, Adoration Of The Holy Angels

His Crown

His Throne

And

His Very Life's Blood

To Purchase For Us The Pardon That Leads To Eternal Life

And 

There Will Be No Doubters
No Fence Jockey 
Nor Wafflers In Heaven! 

Beloved,

Turning Back, For Us, Is Not An Option: Heaven Is Home! 

We Have Joys Forevermore To Enjoy 
So Giving Up What Will Burn Is Necessary:
We Can't Have Both! 

We Must Commit Wholly To Christ Jesus 

To Be Eternally Blessed! 

Without This, We Will Not Know Everlasting Peace! 
To Gain The Hereafter
The Fleetings Thing Of The Here And Now Must Be Released!
From Sin And Self, We Must Cease!

Faith, Beloved
Is 
The Victory Which Overcometh The World!
Your Daily Gift Of Daily Faith ... Utilized
Pays The Daily Operating Costs 
For Heaven To Be Realized!
Work Your Faith
And
Your Faith Will Work!
Think About It ... And Decisively Act
And
Don't Look Back!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: PRAYING: The Way To Life

Preparing For Duty

And

Marked For Trial

- Being Informed Of The Dire Necessity Of Prayer -

Sought Assistance At Divine Support

A Subsidiary Of Amazing Grace Now

And

Surpassing Glory To Come! 

Wanting To Become Aka To Be Transformed Into 

Braced For Duty

And

Prepared For Trial

These Two Humbled Themselves

Watching And Praying

Praying Without Ceasing

And

In All Things By Prayer And Supplication

They Made Their Requests Unto

The True And Living God

In Their Lord Christ's Holy Name!

They Wanted The Benefits Of 
The Close, Personal, Relationship With Savior Of Man 

So They Adhered To 
And 
Met The Conditions Publicly Enumerated

And

With Working Faith

And

Living Hope 

They Fully Expect To Reap 
The Promised Immeasurable, Known-Eternal, Benefits!

Truth Be Told ... 

The Road Is Long, Narrow, Strait Aka Difficult

But

Glory Be To Jesus

That Same Road Is Straight

Because

The Map-Maker Is True, Faithful, Kind, Blessing, Giving

And

Forgiving!

He Is The All-Knowing One

And

He Is The Forever Friend

Who Heals Hurts

And

Mends Hearts And Lives!

With Him, They Choose To Abide!

Abide ... That's A Pretty Strong Word!

Indeed!

It's The Perfect Word!

To Abide, To Rest, To Be Safe

Sheltered, Protected, Provided For!

I Like It!

Along The Way, They Met Pray So Little

And

So Little Faith!

It Did Not Go Well!
They Refused To Let Prideful Self Get In Their Way
Of Moving From Certain Hope
To Assured Glory!
They Preferred Profitable Prayer To Unprofitable Pride!
They Understood ... Understand That 
To Live With Pride
Is 
To Live A Bold
And
Their Faith In Lord Christ Was Not Having It!

Amazing, Isn't It

When We Want What The Lord Has To Give

But Have No Pressing Desire

To Humbly Pray So That We May Receive 

The Available-For-The-Asking Blessing!

Don't Forget Being Stuck On Self The Sinner ...!

... And Don't Forget The Attitude Of

It'll Be There If ... Or When ... I Need It!

Been There, Done That, Foolish Indeed!

All I'm Saying Is That

We All Could Learn A Thing Or Three

From Good King David! 

I Hear That! 

He Knew How To Pray And ...! 

... He Also Knew How To Confess And Repent 
And 
To Give His God His Due And Necessary Praise! 

Listen To This:

King David Knew His Prayers Were Accepted
Because 

He Knew He Met The Conditions
And
In Gratitude, For Faith, In Need
And
To Give Worshipful Praise

He Prayed Continually! 

Brethren, 

Praying Is Not A Panic Button 

To Be Used Only In Cases Of Emergency! 

To The Committed-To-Christ Christian

Praying Is To Be The Reason For Living

The Way To Life

The Umbilical Cord That Connects Us To Our Lord

Our Creator-God, Our Redeemer, Our Provider

And 

Is To Be A Constant

Our Go-To ... Our Default Position

In All Things In Our Sojourn In This Life! 

Pray Without Ceasing 
Is Not 
A Challenge: It Is A Command! 

Pray, Beloved! 

Roundly Reject Sin! 

Utter Honest Praise! 

Give Heartfelt Thanks

And 

Be Truly Grateful! 

To Remember How To Pray To Our Father In Heaven

Remember The ACTS: 

Adoration

Confession

Thanksgiving

Supplication Aka Ask For What You Need

And 

Do All In Jesus Christ's Holy Name! 
Our Almighty God Is The God Holy:
Take Your Faith To The Throne!

HAPPY SABBATH + SPIRITUAL WARFARE: Body Blows ... And Saving Grace!

In His Conversation With Almighty God

As Regards Job
- A Perfect And Upright Man
Who Feared God And Eschewed Evil
According To The Holy God's Words Of Approbation -

Satan Boldly Declared His Tactics Utilized

To Destroy A Person's Faith In His Creator

Provider, Savior, Redeemer

And

One True Friend!

Satan's Artillery ...

Destroy Faith By Destroying Possessions

Family

Relationships

The Faith Of Those Bound To Us

By The Silken Cords Of Affection

And Then

One's Health Without Which 
- According To The Unbeliever -

We Are Of No Practical Use 
To The Eternal God Of Present Grace

And

Glory To Come! 

The Living Record Proves That Working Faith Wins!

Hear The Right ...

In This One Verse Is Found All The Actions That 

We Need To Perform Towards Jesus Christ The Lord, Our God

If 

We Are To Thwart Satan
In Our Desire To Reach The Glorious Kingdom: 
Walk, Fear, Keep, Obey, Serve, Cleave Aka Cling! 

We Are To Worship Our Almighty God With Our Everything

By Thought, Word And Deed 

Whether It Is Convenient, Practical, Profitable

And 

Popular ... Or Not! 

As The Business Analogy For Commitment Goes

To Get Bacon And Eggs 

The Pig Committed 

But The Chicken Participated! 
One Had Skin In The Game!

Satan

That Unclean, Malevolent, Damned Spirit

Is 

Committed To Your Destruction! 
He Is Not Going To Spare You:
He Has Nothing To Lose!
He Has Nothing Profitable To Gain!
Destroying You Is A Freebie
Because
You Are Loved By The Lord Christ!

Jesus Christ, The Giver Of Life

Has Skin, Sweat, Blood, And Tears
In The Not-A-Game Game Of Life! 

He Already Gave His Precious Life's Blood For You: 
Commit To Him! 
Your Body Blows Received And Well Borne ... In Faith
Are Your Badges Of Honor!

Put The Rod Of 
Faith-Filled Prayer In Your Spine ...

Stand Up For Jesus In All Things 

And 

Be Blessed With Eternal Life! 

Keep Yourself From Idols

The Ignorance Of Doubt And Disbelief

The Idolatry Of Presumptuous Sin

And

Cease Your Wandering

And

Your Wondering! 

Wander No More:
Wanderers Follow The Prevailing Winds ... Of Change!
There Is No Variableness
Or Shadow Of Turning In Almighty God!

And

Wonder No More: Jesus Christ, Alone
Saves And Seals
And
Heals Our Griefs And Hurts, And Sorrows
And
Reveals All That Will See Us Arriving Safely
In The Never-Ending Day!

Jesus Christ Is Salvation!

Jesus Christ Sacrificially Loves His Children:

You Are A Child Of Christ The King! 

You Are Blessed Beyond Measure:

Acknowledge It Boldly

And

Walk Holy! 

Your Father ... Our Father ... Is Coming! 

Get Ready And Stay Ready! 

A Glorified, Immortalized, Incorruptible Body

- Just Like Our Lord Christ's -

Awaits The Enduring Overcomers:

You Get A New Gift-Supply Every Day
So Keep The Holy Faith By Using Your Daily Faith! 

Peace!
