HAPPY SABBATH + The Virgin And The Party Animal!

Truth And Error 

Are Like A Virgin Serene

And 

A Party Animal Mean! 

The Truth ... That Virgin

Speaks Softly, Firmly And Pointedly 

Staying In Time And On Target

Walks The Strait Line On The Narrow Path 

And

Is Not Afraid Of The Frigid, Furious

Challenges Of The Naysayers And Soothsayers: 

Truth Is Love, Loving, And Lovely! 

By Contrast, Error ... That Party Animal 

Daringly Bedecked

Proud, Loud

A Night Walker On A Mission To Impress By Expression

Has No Brakes, No Limits Nor Leashes

And

Favors Neither Facts Nor Tender Feelings! 

Error ... A Terror

Is

A Thief And A Goad

Fearless, Lawless

A Painted Person Often Caught Wearing Light

And Is

A Gross And Poisonous Toad:

It's An Impressive Sight! 

Beloved, 

Be Warned! 

Error Survives And Prospers By Gently Expressing 

A Kernel Of Truth 

Which Gains For It A Sympathetic And Empathizing Ear! 

To Send Man Astray 

Is 

Error's Only Care! 

Behold Grace ... 

Sweet, Blessed, Truth

Kind, Benign

Has Borders And Known Ties

And

Will Not Waffle, Wander, Nor Wobble 

Because 

Truth Is Straight ... And Plain 

No Matter If You Strip Her

And

Hit Her 

Or Try To Rip Her Apart! 

Truth Is Wholly Holy

And

Serves The Great King Only! 

Truth ... Saving Truth 

Is 

Of The Living Holy God

And Therefore

Is Not ... Cannot 

Ever Be A Fraud! 

Truth Reigns In Beautiful Beulah

The Land Of The Forever Blessed! 

Brethren, Beloved 

Stick To Truth 

And 

Be A Spiritual Success 

Blessed Of Jesus Christ The King 

Our God 

And 

Soon-Returning Lord

Who Brings With Him

Every Person's Due And Earned Reward! 

Truth Was Truth Yesterday!

Truth Is Truth Today!

Truth Shall Always Be Truth

Where The Sun Of Righteousness

Reigns And Rules!!

Trut 

Familiarity With Sin Breeds Contempt For Sin!

It Is A Fact That 

Those Persons Who Live Close To Airports 

Are Not Bothered By The Roar Of Jet Engines 

Once They Have Become Accustomed To The Noise: 

Familiarity Breeds Contempt! 

Being Close To Sin 

Getting Personally Involved With Sin

Causes Us To Consider Sin As No Big Deal

And

We Soon Refuse To See Sin As Being Exceedingly Sinful

And

A Great Snare To Our Purchased Souls! 

Beloved, 

Are You Becoming Comfortable With Sin!?! 

Are You No Longer Bothered By Lil' White Lies

Five-Finger Discounts

Robbery, Murder, Adultery

Covetousness

Dishonoring Your Parents

Being A False-Oath Taker

Indulging Idolatry ... And The Like!?!

Are You So Into "Doing You" 

And 

Living "Your Truth" That You Have Forgotten That 

Every Committed Sin Crucifies Our Lord Christ Afresh!?! 

Wise Up ... 

The Doings Of Bold Sinners May Seem Exciting 

And

Be Looked Upon Favorably By The "In" Crowd 

And

Viewed Jealously By The Wannabe-Cool Crowd: 

Do Not Be Deceived! 

Almighty God 

Is 

Neither Sleeping, Fooled ... Nor Mocked! 

Heads Up ... 

The Great Day Of Small Things

The Day Of Accounts

The Day Of Reckoning 

Is 

Fast Approaching 

And

There Will Be No Discounts For 

"I Didn't Know!" 

"I Didn't Understand!"

Or

"I Thought I Was Exempt!" 

Stop And Think! 

Be Still! 

Look Around You! 

Look Up 

And

Turn Away From The Dead-End Path Of Daring Disobedience

And

Remember That Who Encourages You To Sin

Aka Who Helps You To Buy A Big-Belly Horse 

Will Not Help You Feed It! 

Your Encourager Will Also Be Your Exposer

But

Never, Ever, Your Healer! 

There Is No Profit In Sin! 

Believe It ... 

Jesus Christ Saves: 

Soul Salvation Pays! 

Whose Voice Is That!?!

Do You Know The True Sound Of The Voice Of Jesus Christ 

Or 

Are You Amongst Those Who Boldly Declare That 

Because We Are Beings Created By The Lord

Our Voices

And 

The Voice Of Almighty God 

Are Indistinguishable From Each Other!?! 

This Idea Leaves Us Ripe For 

And 

Open To Satan's Deceptions!

Lord, Please Preserve Your Children! 

Jesus Christ Said That 

His Sheep Hear His Voice 

So It Is Impossible For A Christ-Follower 

- Personally Known By The LordJesus -

To Respond To Any Other Voice Save That Of Their Lord! 

Whose Voice Are You Hearing!?! 

Whose Teachings Are You Following!?! 

Are You Following The Fashion That 

Is 

Imbuing Carnal Creatures With The Voice 

And

Power Of The Eternal Creator-God!?! 

Beloved, 

When We Humbly Pray 

And

Ask For The Holy Spirit To Guide Our Minds 

As We Diligently Search And Read The Living Word Of God

We Will Hear 

And

Intimately Know The Voice Of Our Dear Lord! 

The Holy Spirit Of God Guides Us Into All Truth 

And

He Will Never Contradict The Preserved 

"Thus Saith The Lord!" 

Be Vigilant! 

Just As All Around Us 

Is 

Counterfeit Food, Shoes And Clothing

About Which We Are Regularly Warned

Beware False Prophets, Priests, Miracles 

And

The Lying And Corrupt Words From False Christs 

Who Promote Self Aka Flesh 

And

Self-Exaltation! 

BeWise Unto Your Own Soul's Salvation

And

Do Not Seek That Which 

Is Not 

Yours To Claim, Own Or Use!

Jesus Christ's Voice 

The Voice Of The Creator, Savior

Redeemer, Lord, God, Shepherd

And

Forever Faithful Friend

And

Judge Of All Flesh

Calls Us To Reconciliation

And

Speaks Peace: 

Our Voices ... Issuing From Thankful Hearts

Grateful For Grace

Are For Prayer And Praise! 

Keep Your Place:

Follow Christ!

Pride Is A Holey Roof-Top!

The Stories Of 

Lucifer Being Cast Out Of Heaven 

And

Adam And Eve Being Cast Out Of Eden 

Are Cautionary Tales: Take Heed! 

Never Blame Others 

For The Messes That You Heaven-Daringly Create 

And

Never Be Too Proud To Humbly Say That You're Sorry! 

Surprise: No Surprise ...

Almighty God 

Is Not 

Responsible For Our Tawdry Thoughts And Wayward Ways!

 

Lucifer Had Power, Position, And Prestige 

But

He Desired Worship 

And

Sowed Discord By Innuendo, Deceit And Outright Lies! 

Lucifer Would Have Been Forgiven 

If

He Had Chosen Humility And Apology:

He Boldly Chose War And ... Homelessness! 

Adam And Eve Were Warned Of The Adversary! 

Eve Was Beguiled 

But

Adam Indulged Willful Disobedience! 

Adam Blamed God And Eve 

And

Eve Blamed The Serpent For Their Misfortunes! 

They Never Acknowledged Their Failures 

And

Never Said "Sorry!"

And

They Were Cast Out Of Paradise! 

Beloved, 

Willfulness, Disobedience, Pride And Arrogance 

Is 

A Box Made Of Two Knife-Edged Triangles 

Because

Self Is The Trap In The Middle! 

The Triangles Poke Hard 

And 

Cut Clean

And

The Box Is Self-Sealing!

Brethren, Beloved, 

Be Wise: 

Don't Dig Your Own Grave!

 

Be Humble: 

Pride Is A Holey Roof-Top!

 

Humbly Approach The Throne Of Grace: 

Better Is A Rough Rag With The Lord Christ 

Than A Rich Robe With Satan! 

Get Your Heart Right With God! 

Peace

With Almighty God

Gracefully Grows!

Walking Wobbly Around Jesus Christ For The Present!?!

 

 

We, Each, Need To Ask Ourselves A Very Bold Question 

And

Answer It Baldly: 

"If I Am Trusting Jesus Christ The Lord For My Soul's Salvation 

Which I Believe In For An Eternity Which I Cannot Comprehend

Why Am I Not Totally Trusting This Same Jesus 

To Take Care Of Me And My Concerns In This Life 

With Which I Am Intimately Familiar And Presently At Home!?!" 

Beloved, 

We Need To Do Better 

And

Be Better In Our Walk With The Lord! 

Jesus Christ Says:

 "Trust Me And Obey!

Lean On And Learn From Me!

Take Your Daily Gift Of Daily Faith 

And

Use It To Take Me At My Living Word!

Believe Me For Your Present 

And

Walk With Me Toward Your Future!" 

But

We Are Believing Him For Our Future 

And 

Walking Wobbly Around Him For The Present 

And 

The Presents Which We Should Be Eagerly Waiting To Open! 

Take Heed ... 

If We Don't Trust Jesus Christ With Our Present-Day Needs

It Is Sure That We Will Have 

No Future Pursuits With Him In Eternity 

Because 

Doubters Cannot Receive 

The Promised Gifts Of The Faithful Saints! 

We Must Do Better! 

Let's Walk In Faith 

And

Stop Running Around With Blind-Man Sight! 

Jesus Christ Is Faithful: 

Wholly Trust Him!

VISITATION: The Fears Of The Wicked!

What A Wicked Person Fears The Most 

Shall Surely Visit Him!

 

Wicked People Fear Exposure Of Their Unholy Deeds

Ruin Of Their Carefully-Crafted "Reputation"

Loss Of Their Stolen Riches

Destruction Of Their Swanky House-Of-Cards Estate

Being Poor, Weak And Vulnerable

And 

The Great Equalizer ... Death! 

The Faithful Child And Servant Of God 

And

Diligent Student Of The School Of Christ 

Desires The Goodness, Gifts, Benefits 

And 

Blessings Abundant Spoken By The Mouth Of Almighty God 

And 

Memorialized In The Word Of God!

We, Christians Called And Committed

Being Faithful, Obedient And Enduringly Trusting 

And

Ever Truthful In Life 

And

Unto Death 

Shall, In The Great Day, Receive The Desire Of Our Hearts

Being Forever At Home With Our Lord And God! 

Beloved, 

Do Not Envy Or Follow The Wicked 

Who Ruin Themselves And Others: 

They Refuse To Know Jesus Christ 

And

Don't Choose Great Goodness And Available Grace! 

Please, I Beseech Us All

No Matter The Temptation

The Test

The Torment

The Bribe Or Supposed Benefit

Or The "We All In This Common Good!" Popular Notion

Choose To Stay On The Lord's Side 

Seeking The Good Portions 

And

Refusing To Be Pierced Through With The Many Sorrows 

Which Are The Self-Designed Lot Of Evil Men And Seducers 

Who Are On Satan The Damned's Putrid Payroll! 

Dare To Delight The Lord Of Love: 

Deal Fairly, Justly, Honestly And Rightly! 

Decide, By Grace ... For Love ... To Do Good 

And

Almighty God's Goodness Will Attend You Always 

And

In All Ways! 

Warring Against Sin

Is

Wisdom!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Are You Bearing Fruit!?!

Fig Trees Are Known To Bear Fruit Twice A Year

Offer Great Shade

And

Speak To Us Of Peace And Prosperity!

Be Not, I Pray Thee, A Leafy, Fruitless, Fig Tree 

For Such A One As This Did Jesus Christ Curse 

For Having No Fruit To Still His Hunger! 

To Have ... To Be ... A Fruitful Tree 

Is 

A Blessing Beyond Measure!

 

A Laden Fig Tree 

Aka A Working, Watching, Waiting Servant 

Aka Saint Of God And Christ 

Is 

A Treasure Sheltered, Protected, Blessed 

And

Honored By The Lord, Our Master

The Kind King

The Judge Of All Flesh! 

Are You At Your Post Of Duty Doing Willing Service 

Or Are You A Show-Pony Shaking Your Tail-Feathers

High-Stepping 

And 

Flinging Your Head Around To The Intoxicating Sounds Of 

The Bewitching Siren Of Sin 

Who Encourages The Careless

The Listless

The Loose And The Lawless

To Use Their Liberty As License To Disregard Duty!?! 

Beloved, 

We Have One Duty ... One Work ... To Perform: 

Serve The King 

And

Bear Fruit Unto Righteousness! 

Are You At Your Post!?! 

Will You Be Found Faithful!?! 

Our Master Is Coming 

And

He Is Hungry! 

He Sees Your Leafy Branches: 

Will He Find Fruit So That He Will Honor You 

And

Be Glad Of His Investment In Your Life!?! 

Please Pray About It! 

Don't Sell Out

The Savior For Silver! 

Don't Give Away

The God Of Grace For Gold! 

Don't Discard

What You Can't Buy Back

And

Don't Let Your Heart For Christ

Grow Cold!

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

Peace ... Not Pride ... Is Precious! 

HAPPY SABBATH + Make Wrong Things Right!

We Are Children Twice: 

Children Of The Living God By Creation 

And 

Redemption 

And

Birthed Children Of Our Earthly Parents! 

Our Parents Lovingly Desire What Is Best For Us! 

The One Thing That Our Parents Teach Us 

And 

Truly Desire That We Display 

And

We Should Of Our Own Free Will 

And

By Choice Practice 

Is

A Grateful, Thankful, Heart! 

Beloved, 

Our Heavenly Father ... In His Eternal Wisdom

Has Asked Us To Give Thanks In Everything 

Aka For Everything 

Aka Through Everything 

Aka Despite Certain Things! 

Are You A Practicing Thankful Person!?! 

Are You Remembering Your Home Training 

Where You Were Taught To Say 

"Please!" 

"Thank You!" 

"May I ....!"

"How Are You!?!"

Or

 

Are You Departed From The Good Way 

And

Are Living With The Attitude Of 

"Gimme This!" 

"I Deserve That!" 

"Why Didn't I Get The Biggest 

Best Most Expensive 

Prettiest Thingie Out There!?!" 

The Training By Our Earthly Parents Was For A Short Season 

But

The Training Received Of Our Lord Christ 

- Through The Ministrations Of The Holy Spirit Of Truth - 

Lasts For Our Lifetime! 

Are You Present In Class!?! 

Are You Taking In The Training!?! 

Are You Cementing Your Learning By Doing As You Are Taught!?! 

Are You A Teacher's Pet 

Or 

Are You Indulging Self 

And 

Shaming Yourself ... And Your Parents!?!

Dare To Truthfully Answer! 

Living Life

Is

An Opportunity

To Make Wrong Things Right:

Cooperate With The Lord Jesus Christ! 

Stop Re-Arranging The Facts!

Speech Belongs To Almighty God! 

Respect Is Due To A Dog! 

Rules Are Not Made To Be Broken 

And

Rearranging The Facts Of A Matter 

Does Not Turn A Bold, Base, Lie Into The Truth! 

Beloved, 

We May Do What We Want 

But

We May Not Do It To Whomever As Long As We Want 

Because 

The Judge Of All Flesh Reigns ... And Rules 

In The Living, Glorious, Kingdom! 

All Too Often 

In The Mistaken Belief That The Sun Rises 

And 

Sets At Our Personal Behest

We Do Unconscionable Things To Others 

In Order To Feel Good About Ourselves! 

Just Stop Already! 

External "Thrills" Will Never Satisfy A Spiritual Desire 

So Let's Take All Of Our Burdens To Our God In Prayer! 

Just In Case You Are Doubtful

Look At The Published Record Of All Those 

Whom Satan And His Lost Legion Have Goaded

Inspired

And 

Tempted To Indulge Gross Folly 

To The Point Of Hospital Bed

Wheel-Chair

Prison Cell

Or Death! 

Let's Not Be Lawless! 

Let's Remember That 

Our Lord Has Promised Never To Leave Us

Nor Forsake Us 

And

Let's Dare To Pray Without Ceasing 

Even When We Don't Feel Like It 

Or Just Don't Know What To Say! 

We Do Not Know How To Pray As We Ought!

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

The Holy Spirit Interprets Our Prayers!

Be Careful, Though! 

Praying Only Works For Those Who Believe That 

The Promises Of Almighty God 

- Through Jesus Christ The Lord - 

Are True 

And That 

He Is Real, Able And Available 

And

Willing And Ready To Deliver Us

And

Deliver For Us! 

Do Right ... And Prosper!

Love Others: Vanquish Evil!

We Cannot Touch Love 

But 

We Are Touched By Love! 

We Cannot Measure Love 

But 

We Are Measured By Our Love For One Another! 

We Cannot See Love 

But 

Love Can Be Seen Through Us! 

We Cannot Weigh Love 

But 

The Weight Of Love Can Be Felt By Us Enough 

To Make Even The Most Oppressive Existence 

Feel As Light As Air! 

Beloved, 

We Cannot Go To The Mall Or The Corner Store 

And 

Purchase A Pound, A Penny Or A Pinch Of Love 

But

We May Go To A Friend

A Family Member

A Stranger 

And

Even Our Favorite Enemy 

And

Minister To Their Need Compliments Of Love

The Everlasting Love Of The Eternal God 

And

Be Made More, Not Less, For The Experience! 

Expressing Love Is Not A Sign Of Weakness: 

It Is Strength! 

Expressing Love To The Unlovable Is Not Folly: 

It Is Faith! 

Loving Others 

Is 

A Part Of Our Work To Bless Others 

In Jesus Christ's Holy Name! 

Love Others: Vanquish Evil! 

Brethren, Beloved 

Never Forget That Almighty God Is Love 

And 

When We Love

We Are "Using" Almighty God 

As We Are Led By God The Holy Spirit! 

To Be Loving

Is 

To Have An Amazing Gift, Talent, Blessing, Privilege: 

Don't Squander It By Neglect, Misuse

Disbelief Or Doubt! 

Dare To Minister Grace

- The Living God's Everlasting Love -

To Some Dear Soul Today!

 

Find Your Peace In Love!

SEXUAL SIN: Superfluous Naughtiness!?!

There Is Nothing Cute About Naughtiness 

Since It Is Attached To Filthiness

Uncleanness

And 

Lewdness 

Which All Refer To Sexual Sin! 

Sexual Sin 

Is 

Always Against Your Self! 

Anything That Is Superfluous 

Is 

Unnecessary

Does Not Serve Any Good Purpose 

And

Should Be Avoided At All Costs! 

Sad To Say ...

In These Times In Which We Live

Naughty Is Nice

Superfluous Is A Necessity 

And

Filthiness Is De Rigueur Aka Fashionable! 

Beloved, 

We Have At Our Fingertips 

The Sure Word Of Almighty God Known Able To Save Us 

If And When

It Is Engrafted Aka Cut Into

- Made A Part Of Our Lives -

To Make Us Sweeter, Stronger

And

Act And Live Better

To Profit Us Eternally! 

You Are Not Alone ...

We Are Encouraged To Meekly Seek The Eternal God 

By Righteousness Aka Right-Doing

Inner Humility ... Not The Public Kind For Praise

And

Patience! 

What You Put In

Is

What You Get Out!

Let's Permit Patience To Do Her Perfect Work In Us 

To Thoroughly Prepare Us 

To Meet Our Lord, God And King

The Final Judge Of All Flesh! 

Be Wise ...

No One Can Force You To Be Naughty 

And

No One Can Force You To  Be Nice! 

We Are Free-Will Agents 

With Freedom To Choose To Do Right ... Or Not! 

We Who Choose To Be Free In Jesus Christ 

Will ... By Saving Grace

Separate Ourselves From Sexual Sin 

Even If We Are Called Prudes And Killjoys! 

Jesus Christ Paid For Our Peace:

Don't Squander It!

Double-Minded Christian!?!

Just In Case We Conveniently Forgot The Fact

Neither Love And Hate

Good And Evil

Truth And Error

Light And Darkness

Friend And Foe

Faith And Doubt

Cowardice And Courage

Nor Bitter And Sweet 

Can Exist In Or Proceed From 

The Same Source At The Same Time: 

These Things Cancel Out Each Other! 

We Cannot Bless And Honor 

And

Curse And Humiliate A Person In The Same Breath 

And

It Is Certain That We Cannot Praise God 

And

Pet Satan At One And The Same Time! 

Beloved, 

A Double-Minded Aka Two-Faced 

Aka Deceitful Christian 

Has To Be Most Miserable, Unhappy

Dangerous Traveler Under The Sun: 

We Cannot Live Like That And Rise Up To Glory! 

Wittingly Building Our Dream House On Sinking Sand 

Marks Us As Devoid Aka Empty Of Wisdom 

And 

Her Understanding 

And

Patently Shows Us To Be Incapable 

Aka Unable To Use Received Knowledge For Profit: 

This State Of Affairs Should Not Exist 

Because 

There Are No Fools In The Kingdom Of God! 

We Cannot Go Forward By Walking Backward 

And

We Cannot Show Love By Serving Hate! 

Jesus Christ The Lord ... The King ... The Judge

Is 

Truth, Love, Light, Life 

And

The Only Way Home To The Father's House!

Remember, Remember

Don't Ever Forget ...

We Are Jesus Christ's Followers

The Salt Of The Earth 

And 

Light Of The World 

And 

We Are Being Blessed To Become Like Him 

So Dare To Firmly Fix Your Focus On Your Father 

Who Is The Same Yesterday, Today And Forever!

Digging Down Is Death: 

Look Up

Build Up

And

Live To Rise Up To The Heavenly Glory Of Our Lord!

Christians Committed To Christ

Do Not Scatter What He Has Sown

But

Faithfully, Diligently

Sow Good Seeds With Him

With The Hope For An Abundant Harvest!
