COOPERATE WITH CHRIST: Exchange Ashes To Get BeautiFULL

The Lord Never, Ever, Asks Us 

To Do Anything That Cannot Be Done 

Or For Which He Has Not Equipped Us To Accomplish 

Via Our Belief, Faith, And Trust In The Living Word That 

Testifies Of Him 

And 

Speaks Life To Us! 

Beloved, 

Even Though Holy Writ Says That 

"I Can Do All Things Through Christ 

Who Strengthens Me!" 

It Means That We Can Do All That 

Is 

Good And True ... In The Way Of Righteousness! 

The Lord Is Holy 

So He Cannot Strengthen Us 

To Do Evil ... To Sin! 

We Are Called Out Of Sin 

And 

Unto Salvation 

And 

No One Who Free-Will Chooses 

To Do Evil For Self-Gratification 

And

Makes Themselves A Reprobate 

Aka Condemned, Unredeemable By Habit Aka Practice 

Aka By Their Way Of Life 

Is 

Going To Be Revived And Reformed 

Aka Renovated From The Inside Out 

And 

Restored, Elevated, To The Father's House 

With All Of Its Attendant Rights And Privileges! 

Is Your Heart Right With Almighty God!?! 

Are You Doing To Others What You Want Done To You!?! 

Are You Kind, Loving, Good

Faithful, Temperate, And True 

Or

Are You On Satan's Bungee Cord Of Dung Doings

Terrible Talk 

And 

Fraught Feelings 

Which Is Sure To Break While You Think That 

You Are Really Flying Wild And Free!?! 

Examine Yourself Today! 

It Will Not Be Pretty 

So Just Remember That 

Our Lord Jesus Gives Us Beauty

Makes Us Beautiful 

When We Give Him Our Ashes! 

Please Cooperate With Christ: 

Peace With Almighty God Is Precious!

 

No Stuff Can Enter The City Of Almighty God!

It is With A Sincere Heart That 

I Pray That Each One Of Us 

Comes To Truly Realize How Special

- How Unique - 

We Are To The Living God! 

There Is No One Else On This Earth

 Who Is As You Are! 

The Gifts That The Lord Has For You, Personally

He Will Not Give To Another Soul 

Even If You Were To Deny Him 

And 

Reject His Gifts Of Love! 

If You Choose To Refuse To Accept 

Jesus Christ's Gift To You Of His Free Salvation 

And 

By So Doing Never Reach The Eternal City

Your Absence Will Be Keenly Felt 

Because 

No One Else Can Take Your Place! 

Lot's Wife ... Against Warning ... And Common-Sense

Looked Back Both In Her Heart And Physically

And 

Lost The Things She Lusted For 

And 

Her Precious Life And Promised Future: 

Jesus Christ Will Be Her Judge

And Not 

Her Welcoming King

Because 

Her Stuff Was Worth More To Her Than Her Life! 

Beloved, 

Always Remember That

You Need A Life To Live To Be Able To Get Stuff 

But

Having A Boatload Of Stuff 

Will Never Get You Eternal Life! 

Jesus Christ Desires Your Personal Presence 

In His Holy House 

And 

He Sacrificed Himself To Make That Possible! 

Please Do Not Neglect So Great A Salvation: 

There Is No Escaping The Day Of Judgment! 

Please Choose Eternal Life 

And 

Live Now As One Greatly Loved 

And 

Abundantly Blessed By Our Almighty God! 

Choose To Remember That Your Father 

Is 

The King Of Love 

And 

Never, Ever, Forget That

You ... Individually ... Are In His Heart 

And 

Your Name Is Permanently

Perfectly Engraved 

In Our Dear Savior's Hand! 

Please Pursue Peace With The Lord Most High!

Witchcraft And Idolatry Is For Fools!

Never Confuse Witchcraft, Magic, Good Luck

And 

Idolatry 

With The Blessings Of The Eternal God 

Because 

All Of These Are Counterfeits Of The Lord's Goodness 

And

Are Perpetrated By Satan, King Fraud! 

Many Of Us Will Do Well To Remember That 

A Loving "No!" From The All-Knowing

All-Seeing, Ever-Present God 

Cannot Be Equal With A Poisonous 

And 

Known Hate-Filled "Yes!" 

From Our Adversary, Murdering Satan, The Damned! 

Beloved, 

What Your Lust Thinks That You Want 

Is 

A Far Cry From What Your Lord Knows That 

You Desperately Need 

So Please Choose To Let The Lord's Love 

Lead You To Eternal Life 

Instead Of Letting The Devil's Lying Lust 

Squeeze You And Send You To A Christless Grave! 

Satan Is The Damned Leader Of The Cursed Clan 

"Can't Have Eternal Blessings 

Because Of Willful Disobedience!" 

You, Me, We Committed Christians 

Are From The Blessed Clan 

"Will Receive Eternal Blessings 

Because Of Loving, Willing, Obedience!" 

These Two Clans Are Not Interchangeable 

So Dare To Learn And Acknowledge The Difference! 

Truth 

Is 

Both Sword And Shield! 

Obedience Aka The Purest Form Of Worship

Is 

An Exceedingly Comfortable Bed

And

Walking In The Light Of Life 

Leads To Heavenly Delights! 

Remember, Remember

Don't Ever Forget ...

Unwavering Trust In The Lord Christ 

Ensures That We Will Win In The Against-Sin Fight!

Please Don't Fool Yourself 

Or Deceive Others

And 

Dare To And Wisely Honor

Worship, Praise, Glorify

And

Willingly Trust And Obey The Living God! 

Peace!

Godly Understanding Is A Free Gift From Almighty God!

Are The Eyes Of Your Understanding Sighted Or Blinded!?! 

What Do You Want To Understand!?! 

What Do You Want To See!?! 

What Are You Choosing To Cast A Blind Eye Toward!?! 

Why Would Any Christian Choose Willful Ignorance 

Over Illuminated Understanding!?! 

Beloved, 

We Live In A World Where Having An Understanding Heart

And

Being Able To See Another's Point Of View 

Without Anger And Hatred 

And

Choosing To Stand Firm In The Faith Of Jesus Christ 

Makes One A Pariah ... An Outcast

And 

An Enemy To The Multitude 

But

It Is No Reason To Deny Your Faith ... The Most Holy Faith

Nor Ignore 

And 

Denigrate Your Father In Heaven! 

With The Wisdom Of The Living God 

Comes Understanding To Use The Knowledge That 

The Lord Has Generously Placed At Our Disposal 

To Bless Ourselves 

And 

Most Definitely Others! 

Think About It ... 

Understanding To Do Evil Is Useless

But

Understanding To Do Good And Right 

Aka The Things Of Jesus Christ The Lord 

Is 

Perfectly Priceless! 

Godly Understanding 

Is 

A Good And Perfect Free Gift From Our Almighty God 

So Don't Bastardize It By Shutting Out The Light Of Life 

To Willfully Do Evil! 

Please Understand That 

Once You Are Made Aware Of Truth 

And

You Choose To Ignore Truth 

In Order To Indulge Error

You Are Guilty Of Sin! 

Godly Understanding Is Infinitely Free 

But 

Willful Ignorance 

Is 

Grossly Expensive! 

I Encourage Us All

To Be Wise Unto Your Own Soul's Free Salvation! 

Peace!

Stop Eating Swine's Food!

Many Of Us Live With The Hope For Glory 

But Not 

The Blessed Hope That 

Leads To The Kind Of Glory That 

Transports Us To Everlasting Life! 

Where, Why

When Did We Go Astraying After The Scraps That 

Swine Gladly Eat Instead Of Eating From 

The Kind And Faithful King's Table Of Good And Plenty!?! 

Was It On The Day You Were Bypassed 

For What You Thought Was Your Just Due 

Or 

Perhaps It Was The Day That 

Your Pride Overcame Your Common-Sense 

And 

You Started Walking On Satan's Enchanted Ground Of 

Smoke And Mirrors!?! 

Beloved, 

Only Those Who Walk In The Will Of God 

Are The Children Of God

And

The Blessed And Beloved Brethren Of Our Lord Christ! 

We Will Not Be Bountifully Blessed 

And 

Eternally Saved

If

We Just Have And Use The Family's Name 

But

Do Not Possess Jesus Christ's Pure And Holy Character!

 

Brethren, Beloved

Since We Are Using The Name Above All Names

Let Us Diligently Seek 

To Assimilate The Character That Creates Us Anew! 

Let Us Not Be Among Those Accused Of False Pretenses 

And 

Charged With Using Bogus Identity Papers! 

Let Us Choose To Walk The Talk

Live The Life

Carry The Cross

And 

Do The Duty 

So As Not To Suffer Eternal Loss! 

Think About It ...

Carnal Things Are Temporal

But 

Christ's Free Salvation 

Is 

Eternal! 

Do Your Due Diligence 

And 

Let The Name Of Christ 

Become Your Nature In Christ! 

Peace With The Living God Is Free

So Dare To Diligently Pray Without Ceasing! 

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Time And Chance!

Time Is A Precious Commodity 

And

A Non-Renewable Resource! 

It Flows In One Direction 

And 

Is Like A Water Course! 

Time, Just Like Water, Finds Its Own Level: 

The Lay Of The Land Determines The Waters' Flow 

And

The Thoughts Of Our Minds Determine, Good Or Bad

How We Spend The Limited Funds 

On Our Debit Card Called Time! 

Chance Aka Opportunity

Is 

A Thing, Once Missed, Which Can Never Be Recaptured! 

Chance Is Like A Beautiful Sunset

Or A Snowflake

Neither Of Which Is Set To Be Repeated! 

Beautiful Sunsets Will Be Seen Again 

And 

Snow-Flakes Will Fall Again

But 

They Will Never Be Those Experienced 

On The Day Called Yesterday! 

Beloved, 

Our Lord Has Given To Each Of Us 

A Winding-Down Clock With Time Marked Off 

In Increments Called Chance ... Opportunity

To Become As He Is

By Doing Good

Living With Love

Serving Others With Caring

And 

Walking Wisely According To The Will Of God 

So That When The Clock Silently Alarms 

And

Forever Stops

That The Book Of The Deeds Of Your Lived Life 

Will Bear The Eternal Mark: 

"Sealed And Saved! 

Well Done!" 

Please Don't Waste Time 

And 

Lose Your Chances To Be Blessed 

By Blessing Someone 

In Jesus Christ's Dear Name Today 

And

Every Day! 

Peace! 

HAPPY SABBATH + CHOICE: Consent + Cooperation

Consent And Cooperation 

Are Words Both Decidedly Delicious 

And 

Damnably Distasteful 

At One And The Same Time! 

If You Are A Committed Christian

Jesus Christ Will Save, Use, And Seal You 

Because 

Of Your Willing, Informed

And 

Free-Will Consent 

And 

Faith-First Cooperation! 

If You Are A Nominal 

Aka NATO Aka No Action Talk Only

Bread 'N Fish Christian

Satan Aka The Accuser Of The Brethren 

And

The Adversary Of Your Soul

Will Gladly Use, Abuse, And Accuse You 

With Your Willing Consent 

And 

Full Cooperation

With The Sworn Intention Of Destroying Your Life! 

If You Follow Satan

You Will Be Condemned, Damned 

And 

Eternally Destroyed By The Judge Of All Flesh

The Lord Christ! 

When You Follow The Lord Christ

You Will Be Temporarily Targeted

Tested, Tried, Tempted

Terrorized And Tortured 

By The Already Condemned, Damned

And 

Waiting To Be Finally, Eternally, Destroyed, Satan 

Who Presently Thrives On Deception, Lies 

And 

Murder! 

Choice 

Is

Consent And Cooperation! 

In The Great Day Of Small Things

Will Your Present Choice See You Rising Up To Glory 

Or 

Ruined And Routed To Hell!?! 

Please Search Your Own Soul 

And 

Seek To Save Yourself: 

Choose The Love 

And 

The Life Of The Lord Jesus Christ 

Who Always Protects 

And 

Provides The Choicest Blessings 

For His Consenting, Cooperating 

And 

Enduringly Trusting And Faithful People! 

Peace!

PRAYER: Pity Us This Day, Dear Lord!

PRAYER:

Please Help Us To Remember, Dear Father

That 

You Are Our Shepherd

Our Refuge And Strength

And That

When We Dwell In The Secret Place Of

The Most High

It Is Under  The Truth That We Safely Abide! 

We Love And Trust You

And

Even Though We May Not Be Always Able 

Your Hand Of Love To Trace

We Are Able To Rest In Peaceful Confidence 

Because

Faith For The Day Is Present 

Which, Trustingly Used, We Can Never Disgrace! 

Oh, How We Seek You

Who Is Ever Able To Be Found 

When We Diligently Seek After You 

In Whose Presence Is Holy Ground! 

Father, 

The Idolaters Are Raging

And

The People Are Imagining Vain Things

So Please Help Us 

Who Are Totally Committed

To The Cause Of Jesus Christ 

Not To Be Lured

By The Known Demonic Device! 

The Heavens Declare Your Glory

And

The Earth Shows Your Handiwork

So Please Help Us Ever To Your Side To Flee 

As We Sit, Stand, Recline, And Kneel

And

For Our Safe Arrival 

On The Great And Glorious Day To Plead! 

You Heal And Don't Hurt! 

You Save And You Seal! 

You Touch And You Teach 

And So With Faith First

It Is For Your Holy Hand That

We Humbly Reach! 

Please Grant Saving Grace

And

Available Mercy Free

And

Please Bless Us With All Blessing 

As In Total Obedience

We Gratefully, Thankfully

Serve And Worship Thee! 

Please Pity Us This Day

For It Is In Jesus Christ's Holy Name That

We, As Beggars, Pray

And

With Blessed Confidence

Earnestly, Untiringly, Plead! 

AMEN!!!

You're Not A Bassett Hound

Since The Lord Jesus Is Your Strong Arm 

And 

Is Also The God Who Protects You From Enemies 

Seen And Unseen

Known And Unknown

Near And Far

Unexpected And Underestimated

And 

You Trust Him 

Because 

You ... By Experience

Have Come To Personally Know His Personality

And

His Love And Power 

Why In The Name Of All That Is Holy 

Are You Walking Around Looking Like 

A Droopy-Eyed, Put-Upon, Bassett Hound!?! 

Where Is Your Song Of Praise And Rejoicing!?! 

Beloved, 

Let Us Not Sell 

Our Love And Worship Of Our Lord Christ Short 

Just Because 

Our Ears Are Itching

Our Noses Are Twitching

Our Eyes Are Blurry

Our Legs Are Numb

Our Fingers Have Become As Frozen Claws

And 

Our Brains Are Seemingly Burping! 

Our Loving God Is! 

Our Gracious Lord Can! 

Our Gentle Master Cares! 

Our Kind King Reigns And Rules 

And

Glory Be To Jesus

He Forgets Not His Own! 

Please Never Forget That 

All Things Work Out For Us 

Who Passionately Love The Lord! 

Please Always Remember That 

It Is Jesus Christ Himself Who Says 

Bring Your Burdens And Leave Them With Him:

He Gave Us The Holy Spirit Of Truth As Our Comforter 

So Sing For Joy 

And 

Praise The Lord Of Life 

And

Let Satan

His Fallen Angels

And 

His Licensed Emissaries Be Damned! 

Jesus Christ Saves: 

Raise Up Your Head! 

Peace!

What Is The Name Of Your Conscience!?!

How Often Have You Heard The Warning: 

"Let Your Conscience Be Your Guide!?!" 

This Warning Can Be A Very Sniffy Proposition 

When There Are Eight Types Of Conscience Mentioned 

In The Scriptures Of Truth: 

Four Are Good 

And 

Four Are Not! 

Our Elders Regularly Spoke About Persons 

Who Had The Dead Conscience 

As Those Who Are Capable Of 

And

Willing To Do Anything! 

They Also Spoke About 

Having The Good Conscience 

Which Permits One To Rest Peacefully At Night! 

Beloved, 

There Are Many Amongst Us Who Have 

Weak

Evil

Defiled 

And 

Seared Aka Dead Consciences: 

May The Lord ... Through His Saving Grace

Have Mercy Upon Them 

Since There Is Nothing That 

Is 

Of Human Strength Or Devising That 

Can Fix What Is Ailing Them! 

Be Ye Warned ...

Beware Of The Counsels Of 

Those Who Count The Word Of The Living God 

A Cheap 

And 

Unclean Thing! 

In Faith, I Sincerely Pray For Us All That 

We Will Each Have The Conscience That 

Is 

Altogether Good

Pure

Purged 

And 

Void Aka Empty Of Offense! 

Let Us Choose This Day 

To Remember To Depend Upon The Word Of God 

For Guidance 

And 

For Correction 

So That We ... And Our Consciences 

Will Be Safe From Self And Sin: 

A Dead Aka Seared Conscience 

Is Not 

Participant In The Godly Life 

And

Is Given Over To Rampant Wickedness! 

Please Let The Voice Of Almighty God 

Be Your Companion And Guide Today! 

Peace!

DIRTY DANCING WITH SATAN: Misery Likes Company!

Evil Is Like Water: 

It Finds Its Own Level! 

Evil Is As The Bully: 

Give In To Evil 

And 

It Will Rub Your Pencil Down To A Nubbin 

Aka It Will Run You Into The Ground! 

Beloved, 

The Mere Fact That The Lord In His Living Word Shows That 

Both Evil And Overcoming Run In Two Directions

We Should Readily Recognize That Our Free-Will 

And

Our Freedom To Choose 

Must Be Engaged 

And

Employed! 

We Must Desire To Not Be A Partaker In Evil Doings! 

We Must Choose To Do What Is Good And Right 

And

By So Doing

We Must Decide By The Grace Of The Living God

And 

Mercy Ever Attending

To Radically Utilize Our Daily Gift Of 

Faith For The Day Then Present 

So That We Shall Get Victory Over Sin 

And

Be Rabid Overcomers Of Evil

No Matter Its Form Or Its Functioning! 

Brethren, Beloved, 

Please Remember That 

The Heart That Leans Toward 

And

Seemingly Thrives On Instigating 

And 

Executing Evil Deeds 

Is 

The Heart That Justifies Itself

That Has Determined That Sinful Self 

Has Been Denied Rights And Privileges That 

Were Never Conferred Upon It By The Living God

And

Has - With Damnable Intent - Departed The Path Of Purity! 

Satan Is Evil 

And 

Satan Is Miserable: 

Misery Likes Company 

And

Evil Has No Future! 

Please Do Not Let Dirty Dancing With Satan 

Cost You Your Own Soul's Salvation! 

Please Choose To Walk In The Light That Shows Right 

So That You Will Be Blessed And Saved! 

Doing Good

- Which Is Of Jesus Christ The Lord - 

Requires Grace-Filled, Enduring, Effort! 

Peace!

SLY MONGOOSE: Warnings Are Meant To Be Heeded!

We Say That We Love The Living, Known-Almighty, God! 

Almighty God Is Love! 

Love Is Of Almighty God 

So, Therefore, We Are Boldly Saying That 

We Love Love! 

If We Love Love, We, By Extension

Must Love What, Who, Love Loves! 

Do You Love Yourself!?! 

Do You Lovingly, Caringly, Love Others!?! 

Do You Love Your Neighbor 

As You Love Yourself Aka Your Own Body!?! 

Do You Love The Lord ... The King Of Love

With All Of Yourself Aka Body, Mind, Spirit, Strength!?! 

Beloved, 

Let's Get Real And Realize That 

While We May Fool Humans Like Ourselves 

With Lying, Corrupt, Words Which Satisfy The Ear 

But 

Deceive The Longing Heart

We Are Incapable Of Deceiving The Lover 

And Creator 

And Sustainer 

And Maintainer Of Our Own Souls! 

The Lord Jesus Christ

Knows All The Thoughts 

And 

Intents Of Our Hearts 

And

The Things That Motivate Our Words ... True And False

And 

Our Every Action! 

Do You Still Want To Deceive Yourself 

Into Believing That All That You Do In The Shadows

In The Darkness

And

On The Sly

Will Remain Unknown!?! 

Don't You Think That 

The Heads-Up In The Scripture That Warns Us That 

We Cannot Mock The Lord Of Life 

Or Hide And Reap What We Have Grown 

Should Be Gratefully Heeded!?! 

Remember, Remember 

Don't Ever Forget ... 

We Reap What We Sow 

And 

We Eat What Grow! 

The Lord Of Earth And Glory

Means Exactly What He Says: 

Love Does Not Lie, Leech, Nor Leave Us In The Lurch! 

Think About It 

And 

Learn From It! 

Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: On The Cusp Of Hope And Glory!

On The Border Between Here And Now And Eternity 

Is 

The Oasis Called Final Decision! 

On The Cusp Between Hope And Glory 

Is 

The Small Mall Called Need Not Want Provisions! 

On The Border Between Faith And Feeling 

Is 

The Must-See Musty Rest Stop Called Doubt! 

All Who Desire To See The Kind King Of Glory-To-Share

Must Choose At These Three Must Stops 

To Unload Past Life's Garbage

Load Up On Saving Truth

Get Rid Of I, Me, Mine, Myself

Do As I Please And Take What I Want 

And

Specifically Pick Up 

The Free-Food Box-Lunch From Shepherd's Bush 

Which Contains Faith For Today

Strength For The Way

Pray A Prayer

Be Very Courageous

Press On

Don't Look Back

Don't Despise Correction

And 

The Pearl Of Great Price 

Aka Jesus Loves Me: I Trust In The Living God! 

Beloved, 

Not One Of Us Living 

Is 

Permitted To By-Pass The Way-Marks Of Life! 

What We Do With Our Feelings

How We Handle Doubt

And 

The Final Decisions Made On The Unknown Last Day

Determine Whether ... By Judgment

We Experience Eternal Separation From Almighty God 

Or

Enter Into The Eternity Of Peace 

Where All Is Bliss! 

Feelings Fail 

But

Enduring Faith Follows The Forever Friend

Jesus Christ, The Joy Of Living! 

I Beseech Us All

To Boldly Choose To Live For 

And 

Die In Jesus

Because Then

The Eternity Of Peace Will Be Forever Ours 

To Live With Him! 

Peace Be Upon You!
