GIFT OF LOVE: Salvation Is FR2E To Me And Thee!

There's The Old Song Which Says: 

"If Salvation Was A Thing That Money Could Buy

The Rich Would Live And The Poor Would Die!" 

There's No Need To Think On This! 

Most Of Us Love Sales 

Especially Those Of The BOGO 

Aka Buy One Get One Free Variety: 

We Enjoy Acquiring Good Stuff At Great Prices! 

Still Others Of Us Love Thrifting

Rummage Sales, Garage, And Car Boot Sales! 

The Point Is That 

This Poor Man Wants A Rock-Bottom Price For His Heart's Desire 

And

If You Are Of The Monied Class

You Desire That Which No One Else Can Afford! 

Beloved, 

Jesus Christ's Gift To Us Of His Salvation 

Came At Infinite Cost 

And

Is Available To Each One Of Us Individually

Rich Or Poor

FR2E!

The Father Gave Us His Son

And

The Son Gave His Life To Save Us!

There Is A Spanner In The Works ...

The Big Able Problem, Though

Is 

That Today Is The Day Of Salvation 

And 

Many Of Us Are Of The Mind That Says

"Free To Me Is Cheap 

And Cheap Things Are Not Good 

And I Won't Accept 

What I Can't Physically See And Profit From!" 

The Lord's Ways

Are Not Our Ways

And

The Lord's Thoughts

Are Not Our Thoughts!

Oh, That We Would Spit Pride And Doubt 

Into The Fires Of Hell Where They Belong 

And

Accept The Priceless Gift 

Freely Given To All By Our Creator

The King Of Love And Glory! 

Pride And Doubt Build A Sinking Ship! 

Please, I Beseech Us All 

Do Not Permit The Monied Vanity Class 

To Stay Your Needy Hand From 

Accepting The Unspeakable Gift From 

The Loving Heart Of The Son Of God

The Savior Of Every Man! 

Salvation Has An "Accept By" Date: 

Be Wise For Your Self! 

Peace! 

Buying

The Free-To-All Gifts

Generously, Graciously, Given

By The Eternal, Holy, Faithful God

Is

An Impossibility!

SUCCESS AT CALVARY: It Is Jesus Christ-Alive, Alone, Who Saves!

If Our Hope In The Living  God 

Is 

Built On Anything Other Than Jesus Christ

His Righteousness

His Successfully Completed Work On The Cross Of Calvary 

And

The Fact That His Was A Sinless Sacrifice 

Totally Accepted By His Father

Then 

I Totally Recommend That 

We All Be Prepared To Be Completely Disappointed 

By What It Is That We Believe Is Better 

Aka More Profitable Than The Lamb Of God 

Who Takes Away The Sin Of The World! 

For Every Gift Of Almighty God 

There Is A Counterfeit Freely Sold By Satan 

And

As A Result

There Are Some In "Religious Royalty" 

Who Are Confidently Broadcasting That 

Jesus Christ Was Himself A Sinner 

And 

An Abject Failure As Our Only Savior! 

Beloved, 

If These Claims Held Water

Our Hope For Heaven Is For Nothing 

Because

The Father Has Not Accepted His Son's Sacrifice For Sin

And

Christ Is Dead

And

Our Promised Salvation

With New Life In This Same Christ

Is 

As The Sand In A Desert Storm! 

Sinners Cannot Live

In

Almighty God's Presence! 

Brethren, Beloved

We Must Each Know The Word Of Our God 

For Our Own Selves! 

We Will Not Understand Everything Now 

But

We Will Surely Understand Hereafter!

"Pastor Preacher Priest Pope Said" 

Is Not 

Proof Of Bible Knowledge! 

Please Read And Study The LivingWord 

For Your Own Education 

And 

Your Own Soul's Salvation! 

Neither Satan Nor Lying Mortal Man Is Our Savior: 

Jesus Christ-Alive, Alone, Saves

And 

The Holy Spirit Teaches Those Who Are Willing 

To Humbly Learn The Truth From Him!

Come To Jesus Now! 

Peace!

Appearances Reveal A Lot!

 

If Your Bird, Your Cat, And Your Dog All Bark 

Which One Is The Real Guard Dog!?!

Nature Wins Out! 

Think About This ...

If Your Church Pastor Is A Noted Bass-Man 

Who Is Suddenly Singing Soprano

And Is A Man At The Church 

And The Lady Of The House Called Home

A Day Trader 

And A Night Walker 

And

Preaches The Most Riveting Sermons Of Truth 

About Another Jesus And Another Gospel

Is He Still The Anointed, Appointed

True, Faithful, Servant Of The Holy God!?! 

Dear Lord!

Even On Paper, This Looks Evil!

Who Is He!?! 

Who Are We!?!

 

What Are We All Saying And Doing!?! 

Are We All Alright With Our Lord!?! 

Beloved, 

Goods Come In Various Sizes, Colors, Packages

Prices

And 

For All Tastes! 

Some Are Good And Delicious! 

Some Smell Sweet But Are Deadly! 

Some Taste Horrid And Are Healthful! 

The Good And Healthful Come In Simple Colors 

And 

Plain Packaging

And 

The Sweet And Deadly Are Delightfully Packaged 

To Overload The Senses! 

How, Then, Does One Shun All Evil 

When Good For You Ain't Appealing To You!?! 

Work Your Gift Of Faith ...

Choose To Trust The Word Of The Lord

Follow The Great Example Aka Jesus Christ

And 

Don't Ever Forget That Good, Right, Truth, Light

Love, Joy, Hope, Peace

And 

Blessing Have No Need Of Added Color

A Run Through The Spin Cycle

The Tender Devotions Of The Polish Brush Or Cloth

Or A Whiff Of The Perfume Called Purity! 

All The Gifts Of God Are Good 

And

A Million Years From Their First Appearance 

They Will Still Look, Smell, Taste

Feel, Speak

And 

Definitely Do As Ordered By The Creator God! 

Inside And Outside

Are The Same Thing!

Goodness Doesn't Need To Glory

Change Its Nature

Speak Itself Into Relevance

Or Be Fashionable 

To Fit In To Execute Its Mission! 

Our Good Lord Jesus 

Is 

The Same Real Savior 

Yesterday, Today, And Forever! 

There Is No Evil In Our Blessed-Forever Jesus: 

Embrace Him

And

Trust His Heart! 

Peace!

If Something Has The Look Of Evil

Don't Make Jokes

And

Call It A Masquerade Costume!

**--**--**--**--** 

A Washed Sow Is Still A Pig

And

A Pig In Pearls

Can Still Tear You Apart!

 

The Evil That Men Do Lives After Them!

There Is The Famous Expression Which Says: 

"The Evil That Men Do Lives After Them!" 

But

Have You Personally Considered That The Reverse Is Also True: 

"The Good That Men Do Lives After Them!?!" 

Beloved, 

Being A Free-Will Agent

With Freedom To Choose To Do Either Right Or Wrong

Love Or Hate

Do Good Or Evil

And 

To Dwell In The Light Of Life 

Or

Abide In The Darkness Of Death

Which Would You Honestly And With Wisdom Choose!?! 

The Children Of The Light 

Aka The Children Of Day

The Children Of The Heavenly Father 

Should, Without Hesitation Or Reservation

Choose Love, Light, Day, Good, Right

And 

Eternal Life! 

Anything That Is Lawless Aka Sinful 

Has A Short Shelf Life When Compared To Eternity 

So Don't Waste Time 

Going After What Shall Not See The Light Of Life 

After The Lord's Appearing! 

Goodness Grows! 

Hope Heals! 

Happiness Elevates!

And 

Truth, Saving Truth, Radically Transforms! 

Sooo, How About Building 

A Sure House With Bricks Of Goodness 

And 

Plastering Them With The Cement Of Truth!?! 

How About Panelling Your Walls With Trust In God!?! 

How About Having Windows Made Of Faith 

And 

Your Stairways Constructed From Endurance!?! 

Brethren, Beloved

Please Make Your Doors Out Of Obedience 

And 

See That Every Nail And Screw Used 

Is 

Of The Living Word 

Which Unerringly Preserves The Inhabitants! 

Do You Know The Pedigree Of Your Legacy!?! 

It Is Not Too Late To Change Direction! 

Jesus Christ, Alone, Saves

And

Always To The Uttermost! 

Peace!

Be Grateful Aka Thankful!

Gratitude Aka Thankfulness 

Is 

A Grace ... A Gift Given! 

Are You Grateful For What You Have 

Or Are You Looking At The "Good Stuff" 

The Expensive Toys 

Which Are In The Possession Of Other People 

And

Are Making Yourself Miserable About Your Own Life 

Because 

You Refuse To See The Obvious!?!

You Are Greatly Beloved

And

Truly Blessed!

Beloved, 

The Blind One Envies The One Who Wears Glasses! 

The Man Who Wears Cheap Shoes 

Envies The Man Who Wears Expensive Shoes 

But 

Surprise, Surprise, No Shock

They Are Both Envied By The Man Who Has No Feet

The Man Who Has Legs But Can't Walk

And 

The Man Who Has No Legs At All! 

We Need To Be Truly Grateful 

For Almighty God's Many Gifts Of Unmerited Favor 

And

Stop Being Lip Servants

Saying That You're Blessed

While Envy Is Consuming Your Heart! 

We Have Food In Abundance 

Which Gives Us Choices As To What We May Eat 

When And Where! 

We Have Clothing In Abundance 

To The Point That We Can Say 

"I Am Not Wearing That Because It's So Last Year!" 

Or 

"I Wore That Twice!" 

In Base Pridefulness! 

Oh, That We Would Realize That 

The Things We Despise 

Are The Very Things Others Would 

Literally Kill To Possess! 

Food, Shelter, Clothing

Care, Comfort

Peace With God ... And Our Brethren

And 

Good Health 

Are Treasures Beyond Measure! 

Please Honestly Look At The Person In Smelly Rags

Barefooted And Dirt-Encased

Eating Out Of The Garbage

And 

Living On The Street 

And

In Heartfelt Gratitude Say: 

"There, But For The Grace Of God, Go I!" 

Our Gifts Are Many

Our Blessing Are Innumerable

So Please Do Not Consider Them

As Cheap Things Consumable! 

Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: THE BIRTH-RIGHT: Waiting For A Meal Isn't Deadly!

Red Bean Stew Is Delicious 

And

So Are A Multitude Of Other Dishes 

But

Based On Wisdom, Understanding, Knowledge

Blessed Promise 

And

Outright Warning

I Am Not Willing To Sell My God-Given Birth-Right Of 

Eternal Bliss, Peace, Joy And Rest

For The Happy-Belly Joy Of One Meal! 

Would You!?! 

Brethren, 

Almighty God's Sacrifice ... In The Person Of Jesus Christ 

Guarantees Us The Birth-Right Of Eternal Life With Christ 

Aka Immortality

Incorruptibility

A New Name

The Crown Of Life

And 

A Forever Place In The Father's House That 

No One Else May Claim 

Either By Coercion Or Deceit

Quit-Claim Deed Or Supposed Outright Purchase! 

In The Name Of Jesus

Don't Sell What You Can't By Back!

Thirsty Or Supposedly Dying Of Hunger

We Have The Promise That Our Bread And Water Are Sure 

So Don't Stop Short Of The Father's Tents Of Safety 

To Indulge Over-Indulged Self 

And 

To "Enjoy" The Temporary Convenience That 

Eternally Costs! 

Over-Indulgence Is Sin: 

Self-Denial Is Not! 

Waiting On Your Blessing Is No Weight! 

Weighing Convenient Fast-Food As More Valuable 

Aka More Beneficial Than Your Eternal Blessing 

Is 

Unadulterated Folly Aka Bold Sinning! 

Please Think On These Things Now 

While Abundance Is Available! 

Choosing To Miss A Meal Or Two

Just Because You Can

Will Surely Build Self-Control

Aka Staying Power

When Evil Starts Throwing About Its Ungodly Power!

Waiting For A Meal Isn't Deadly! 

Peace!

Don't Live For Your Belly!

Live By Faith!

HAPPY SABBATH: Get Home Safely!

 

I Read A Story About A Young Lady 

Who ... During Her Mid-Teens

Had Asked Her Parents To Place A Tracker On Her Phone 

So That She Could Feel Safe Away From Them

And 

They Would Be Comforted 

Knowing Where She Was At All Times! 

She Had Been Walking Fearful 

Because 

Of The Known Bad Company She Was Keeping! 

How Interesting! 

Beloved, 

We Have Motivated Enemies 

But

Our Father Has Plainly Told Us 

And

We Should Be Patently Aware That 

We Have Holy "Trackers" 

The Faithful Companion

A Guardian Angel

A Recording Angel

And 

The Comforter Who Corrects Us 

And 

Leads Us Into All Truth Being Ever Present! 

Our Trackers 

Are Not To Keep Our Father Informed And Comforted! 

Our Trackers Are There To Guard, Guide

Protect, Correct

Influence Us To Do The Good And The Right 

And

To Keep A Faithful Record Of Everything In Our Lives! 

Why!?! 

Don't You Recall That 

There Is The Lamb's Book Of Life

And 

The Book Of Remembrance

And 

Your Personal Life's Record!?! 

The Record Of Your Life 

Will Either Testify For You

Or Against You 

At The Judgment Bar Of Christ! 

We Have Friends In High Places 

Ministering To Us 

For Our Sure Salvation! 

Our Almighty God Provides For Us 

Before We Have A Need: 

Trust Him Always! 

Our Enemies Are Damned! 

Yes, Indeed

So Dare To Lean On Our Blessed Jesus 

And 

Get Home Safely! 

Peace!

Accepting And Acting On The Truth Sets The Liar Free!

Are You A Practicing Dissembler 

Aka A Deceitful Person 

Aka A Licensed Liar!?! 

Have You Recently Been Made Aware Of It!?! 

Think! 

In The Day Of Your Sure-To-Come Disaster

Is 

There Anyone Who Will Rush To Your Side

To Answer Your Cry For Comfort And Aid 

Or 

Will There Be ... Instead

Persons Showing Up To Make Sure That 

You Are Ingesting A Generous Mouthful Of 

Scalding Comeuppance Tea 

Aka Serve Yuh Right Flavored Water!?! 

Beloved, 

Our Dear Savior Speaks Urgently About Sowing And Reaping

And 

Casting Our Dry Bread Upon The Waters 

And Thereafter 

Eating Our Fill From The Horn Of Good And Plenty! 

He Speaks Of Those Who Have To Give 

And Lying On Their Pocket, Don't And Are Spiritually Poor

And 

Those Who Have Not To Give 

And Trusting Him, Do And Are Truly Rich

And

He Speaks About The Wages That One Earns For Sin! 

Satan 

Is 

The Father Of Lies! 

Liars Kill 

And 

Killers Lie 

But They ... Unrepentant

Will Never Receive Wings Like The Eagle 

With Which To Heaven To Fly! 

Be Ye Warned ... 

Please Don't Speak About Lies To Save Your Face

Lies To Get You Out Of Trouble

Lies As Jests To Amuse The Multitude

Or Lies Told In The Shoot-The-Breeze 

In The "I Have Nothing Better To Do!" Bubble! 

Truth 

Is 

Our Shield ... Our Comfort

All Night And All Day! 

It Is The Gift Of Our Dear Savior-God 

So Please Don't Cast Away Saving Truth

To Gain The Lost Man's N0-Salvation Reward! 

Jesus Christ The Righteous, The King

Is 

The Truth: 

Lovingly Embrace And Peacefully Rest In Him! 

He Knows Your Name And Your Nature

And

He Personally Calls To 

And 

Intimately, Sacrificially, Cares For You! 

Peace!

  

The Peaceful Sleep

Of

The Just

Is

The Gift Of God

To The Heart That Abides

With And In Saving Truth!

SOUL-STRENGTHENING ACTIONS: Kindness Cures Cruelty!

No One Owes You A Gift 

So No Matter Its Cost 

Or From Whom You Received It

It Is A Blessing: 

Give Heartfelt Thanks! 

Being Maliciously Rude 

And 

Unkind To Others To Feel Good About Yourself 

Is 

Cruel And Ungodly: 

Look To Jesus Christ ... The Only One Righteous

And 

Stop The Rubbish 

Since There Is No Blessing That 

Attends Such Reprehensible Behavior! 

No Human Being Is Your Servant 

Unless You Are Paying For The Privilege Of 

Utilizing Their Services: 

Lower Your Pompous Pride Flag 

And 

Do As The Savior Asks: 

Be Humble, Just, Righteous, And True! 

Shredding Someone's Confidence 

To Appear High And Mighty Before Your Friends 

And 

Other Like-Minded Associates 

Shows You To Be Mean-Spirited And Small-Minded: 

Take Your Mind And Your Manners Out  Of The Sewer 

Or That Is As High As You'll Rise: 

Stop Being Satan's Servant! 

Beloved, 

Too Many Of Us Utilizing The Name Christian 

Are Walking Tall As Tithe-Returning

Psalm-Singing

Bible-Thumping Cretins! 

Stop The Rot!

Let's Just Get Off The Slow-Boat To Hell And Damnation 

By The Available, Saving, Grace Of The Eternal God 

And 

Humbly Ask Our Savior For New Hearts

New Minds

New Thoughts 

And 

New Desires For Soul-Strengthening Actions! 

Remember, Remember 

Don't Ever Forget ... 

Christians Cannot Copy The Worldly-Wise 

And 

Still Win The Sin Over-Comer's Crown Of Life! 

Do Good And Right 

To Take Flight 

And 

Eternally Live In Living Light! 

Evil Eliminates Blessings! 

Kindness Cures Cruelty! 

Fervent Prayer Frees! 

Peace Be Unto You!

Peace With Almighty God

Is

Precious! 

DOING AS YOU PLEASE: Don't Tempt The Lord!

 

Think About These Things ...

Water Over A Low Flame Simmers! 

And

You May Blissfully Play The Annoying Game 

"I'm Not Touching You!" 

Until The Offended Party Slaps The Snot Out Of You! 

Beloved, 

There Is An Old Saying About Poking A Dog With A Stick! 

Poke The Dog One Time Too Many 

And 

You Will Rue The Day You Walked Without Wisdom! 

You May Be Able To Destroy The Animal Afterward 

But

Surprise, Surprise, No Shock

No One Can Destroy The Creator God

Who Has The Final Say In Everything! 

Answer If You Dare ...

How Long Can We Offend The Lord 

Before He Rocks Our World!?! 

Do Not Tempt The Lord! 

Look Around And See! 

Turn Around And Hear! 

Look Out And Weep For The Multitudes Of People

Young, Old

Rich, Poor

Free And Imprisoned 

Who Believed That 

They Could Control Almighty God's Sweet Tomorrow! 

We Are Promised One Day Of Life 

And 

That Is Today:

Our Today Actions Decide Our Tomorrow Outcomes! 

The Fact Is ... 

If Tomorrow's Sun Rises For Us

The Day Will Be Called Today

So Please Let Us Use Today

This Moment

This Minute

This Hour

This Day

To Accept The Leading Of The Lord 

So That By His Slow Anger Aka His Saving Grace 

We May Rise Above The Morass Of Sin 

And

Walk Unto Sure Salvation! 

Wise Up ... 

Indulging In Folly 

Is Not 

Common-Sense! 

Do The Will Of The Eternal God! 

Walk In The Holy Way That Leads To Everlasting Life

And 

Choose To Accept Mercy ... Available And Free

Because

The Day Of Our Redemption 

Is 

Drawing Near

And

Only Those Of The Household Of Unfailing Faith

- Enduringly Faithful, Obedient, Loving, And Kind To End -

Will Be Redeemed! 

Please .. I Beseech Us All 

Willingly Obey The Lord While It Is Still Today

And 

Be Gloriously Blessed! 

Peace!

Doing As You Please

Does Not Stretch Far Enough

To Allow You To Do "It"

As Long As You Please!

Fearfully And Wonderfully Made!

Almighty God's Great Grace 

Is 

Utterly Amazing! 

The Lord Jesus ... Our Creator

With Amazing Love And Available Grace

With The Superbly Fine Touch Of The Master Hand

Caused Us To Be Fearfully Aka Awesomely

And 

Wonderfully Made! 

We All Know This To Be True 

And In Gratitude 

We Should Joyfully Give Our God 

Great And Glorious Praise

Morning, Evening, Noon And Night! 

Beloved, 

Choose To Think Of 

And 

Dare To Believe On The Lord Jesus Christ! 

We Don't Need To Change 

The Fluids In Our Circulatory System 

Every Three Months! 

We Don't Need To Change 

Our Kidneys After 10 Years! 

We Don't Need Our Legs Rotated 

Or 

Our Hearts Relined! 

We Don't Need Bi-Annual Brain Upgrades! 

We Don't Need Our Eye-Balls Fashionably Upgraded 

Just Because It's What's New On The Runway, Walkway

Or The Tongue Of Mr. Or Ms. It Or Popular Trans It! 

And

We Don't Need Our Mufflers Replaced!

Thank You, Jesus! 

Food Is Our Medicine 

And 

Our Medicine Is Our Food! 

As Long As We Live, We Live

And

When We Die

We Return In Component Parts To Origins: 

The Breath Of Life To Our Creator 

And 

Our Bodies To The Dust From Whence They Came! 

We Are Blessed! 

Don't You ... Even With Regular Aches

Pains, Problems, Pressures

And 

The Gift Of The Power Of Prayer

Think It Is Time To Lift Up Our Lord Jesus!?! 

I Don't Dare You

Because

A Reasoning, Honest, Heart

Should Cause You, Me, Us All

To See The Light Of Life

Get To It! 

Hallelujah, Jesus! 

Peace!

Heaven Will Be Worth It All!

Practice Make Practical 

Aka What You Practice 

You Become Efficient At Performing! 

If You Make A Habit Of Being Kind

You Act Kindly! 

If You Practice Cruelty

You Act Cruelly! 

Beloved, 

The Nature ... The Character Of Our Lord Christ

Which He Requires To Be Reproduced In His Children

- The Saints Of God And Christ - 

Demands That We Practice Gentleness, Goodness

Kindness, Temperance Aka Moderation

Love, Justice, Faithfulness, And Truthfulness

And 

Be Giving And Forgiving! 

Is It Going To Be Easy!?! 

No! 

Can It Be Accomplished!?! 

Yes! 

Is It Worth The Effort Required!?! 

Most Certainly! 

Should I Be Willing To Try!?! 

Only You Can Answer That! 

Remember, Though, No Risk ... No Reward!

No Cross ... No Crown!

Is There Help Available!?! 

It's Just A Prayer Away!?! 

But What If There Are Slip-Ups!?! 

He Who Says Do It Is There To Help You Up 

And

Get You Back On Track! 

Dear Ones, 

Acquiring Bad Habits Requires No Effort: 

That's As Water Down The Hill! 

Acquiring Good Habits Requires Time

         Blood

                  Sweat

                           Tears

                                     Prayers

Endurance

         Faith

                 Hope

                          Love

                                  Trust 

And

The Patience Of The Saints 

Who Are Standing Firmly 

On The "Yeah!" And "AMEN!!!" Promises Of 

Their Creator, Savior, Lord, God, Redeemer, King 

And 

Forever Faithful Friend! 

Pray ... Because He Cares! 

Do ... Because It's True! 

Testify ... Because It Edifies!

Praise ... And Be Raised! 

Peace!
