REGRET: The One-Way Trip In The Entrance-Only Conveyance!

Am I Become Your Enemy For Telling You The Truth

For Asking You To Rid Yourself Of Habits 

Which Will Rob You Of The Gift Of Eternal Youth!?! 

Beloved, 

This Question Should Hit Us All Hard 

As We Sojourn On This Earth! 

Are We Treating God's Gifts As Games Of Trivial Pursuit 

And 

The Rush To Our Pleasures As Special Treasures!?! 

The Lord Jesus Christ

For His Lived Life And His Loving Words Of Truth

Was Executed At The Request Of His Own People 

Because 

His Holy Way Accused Them Of Their Evil Ways! 

The Apostle Paul Ultimately Suffered The Same Fate 

For Telling The Truth That Saves! 

John The Baptist ... Jesus Christ's Fore-Runner

Died For Speaking Truth To Power! 

Let's Get Real Here! 

As Committed Christians Walking In The Light That 

Leads To Eternal Life

We Must Live Lives Above Reproach

And We

If We Love Our Brethren By Blood, By Faith

Or By Warmest Affection

Must Speak Up When We See Them Going In The Wrong Direction! 

Regret 

Is 

An Ugly Place To Visit 

Especially When You Have To See The Cold Form Of 

A Lost Loved One 

Making The One-Way Trip 

To Dusty Bed At Long-Home 

In The Entrance-Only Conveyance! 

Sin Is For A Season! 

The New Life In Christ Lasts For The Ceaseless Ages Of Eternity! 

Please Snatch Someone Out Of The Fire: 

The Lord Will Bless You In The City Of Everlasting Day! 

Do Right ... No Matter The Earthly Cost! 

Heaven At Any Cost Is Dirt Cheap: 

Bless Someone With The Knowledge Which Will Help Them

By Almighty God's Amazing Grace

To Safely Arrive There!

Peace!

Master, Please Take Control!

 

Why Would You Ask The Lord To Take Control Of Your Life 

And 

Then Bitterly Complain 

When Your Ceiling Is Your Floor And Your Floor Is Your Ceiling

And 

Your Picture Window Is Your Backyard Door 

And 

All That Was Soooo Easy 

Is 

Suddenly Become A Bore And A Chore!?! 

A Cooperative Act Of Love 

Between A Husband And His Wife Produces

- By Almighty God's Great Grace -

A Very Much Wanted And Dearly Loved Beautiful Baby! 

A Cooperative Act Of Love 

Between The Savior Granting Forgiveness And Salvation 

And 

The Sinner Needing The Cleansing 

And 

The Promised New Life 

Produces A Saint Of God And Jesus Christ! 

Two-Party Cooperation 

Plus 

Necessary Patient Work 

Equals 

Serviceable Product Of Choice And Design! 

Planting Good Seed On Unploughed Aka Unworked Soil 

Never Yields The Bountiful Harvest! 

With This In Mind, Beloved

Consider Yourself Blessed, Bought, And Benefited 

When Your Life Is In Flux

When No Two Days Are The Same

When You Finally Recognize That Your Heart's Request 

Placed You Squarely Under The Control Of 

The Master Who Has Everything 

In His Loving, Can't-Fail, Strong Hand! 

He Who Has Begun A Good Work In You 

Will Perform It Until The Day Of Jesus Christ! 

With Patient, Enduring, Unreproachable Faith

Enjoy Your Journey To Joy! 

Pray, Plead, And Plod On 

As You Hold On To Almighty God's Unchanging Hand! 

Peace! 

Repentance Aka The U-Turn Of Life!

Repentance ... Just Like A U-Turn

Is 

Progressive! 

It Is A Change Of Mind 

Caused By A Change Of The Heart 

Which Leads To A Change Of Action Aka Direction! 

Beloved, 

There Was Once A Time When We Would Say That 

A Repentant Sinner Did A 360° Turn! 

This Was Until Wisdom Prevailed 

And 

Understanding Dawned 

And 

Knowledge Spoke Up And Noted That 

A 360° Turn Is A Circle 

Which Meant Doing As One Always Did 

But That 

A 180° Turn Resulted In A Complete Change Of Direction! 

Hallelujah, Wisdom! 

Thank You, Lord, For The Cautionary Tale Which Says: 

In All Your Getting

 Get Understanding! 

We Are Grateful, Lord

For The Knowledge Which Increases! 

Dear Ones, 

Turning Around ... Changing Direction

Without Having Your Chosen Life-Style Turned Upside-Down 

Changes Absolutely Nothing! 

Genuine Repentance Aka Repentance Of The Godly Sort

Means That Friends, Associates, Relationships

Tastes, Likes, Dislikes

And 

Our Reservation For Our Final Port Of Call 

Must Change! 

We Can No Longer Call Upon Christ 

And 

Do Like The Devil! 

Calling Upon Christ For Saving Truth 

And

Deliberately Acting Upon It 

Changes Our Life

Our Life-Style

And 

Our Character! 

Jesus Christ The Lord

Is 

The Truth 

And 

Living By And In The Truth 

Means Living For Our King Jesus! 

Let's Think About It! 

Let's Earnestly Pray About It

And

Let's Wisely Act Upon It 

Because 

Our Personal Future Depends Upon It! 

Peace!

Living For Jesus Christ Now

Is

Living A Life

That

Has Only Just Begun!

Created Beings Can't Game God Almighty!

A Favored Pastime In This World Today 

Is 

To Play The Victim 

And 

Throw Down The Paint On The Paper Thick And Hard! 

Throw A Hissy Fit! 

Roll Around In A White Outfit On The Dirty Floor! 

Cuss Out Everybody In Hearing Distance! 

Call Yuh Mudda A Man 

And Then 

Get Up Clear-Eyed And Calm 

And 

Wonder If You Need A Sun-Tan! 

Man's Got Skills! 

Beloved, 

If You've Cracked Open The Living Word Of God

You Would Know That That Boat Don't Float 

In The Kingdom Of God! 

Blaming Others 

For You Doing You

For "Forcing" You To Do Wrong When You Know To Do Right

For Your Getting Caught With Your Hand Inside The Cookie Jar

And 

Running A Corrupt Game Of Straight Face 

Is 

All On You! 

Adam, Eve, Cain, Achan, And Saul 

All Tried That ... And Failed

And 

We Will Likewise Fail 

If 

We Believe That We Are Able To Game Almighty God! 

Think, Dear Ones! 

Can You Really Fool The Eternal God 

Who Is All-Seeing

All-Knowing

And

Ever-Present 

And

Feels All That We Feel!?! 

Wheel, And Come Again! 

The Lord Plainly, Unambiguously, Says To Us: 

Your Ways Are Not My Ways

Neither Are Your Thoughts My Thoughts! 

Punishment For Our Corrupt Behavior May Be Delayed 

But 

Rest Assured It Will Arrive 

At The Time Appointed By The God Of Heaven

Who Has Earth As His Foot-Stool! 

Please Don't Play Satan's Games 

When The Lord God Almighty Wrote The Rule Book For Man 

Which Is Avidly Used By All 

Who Will Live Godly In Christ Jesus! 

Remember, Remember 

Don't Ever Forget ... 

You Will Never Realize The Value Of 

The Anchor Of Your Soul 

Until You Experience The Wrath Of The Storm! 

Be Wise: 

Load Your Soul's Anchor 

Aka Put On Jesus Christ! 

Peace!

Believe The Word Of The Infallible God!

Faith! Feelings! Facts! Failings! Future! 

Hmmm... 

The Lord Jesus Gives To Each Of Us A Daily Gift Of His Faith 

For That Day Alone 

But

Our Feelings Bring Up The Facts 

About Our Known Failings 

And

They Are Grounding Our Hopes Of 

A Future In The Father's House 

As Promised To Us By Our Savior Dear! 

Are You Going To Believe The Word Of God

The Truth That Saves

Or Are You Going To Trust Fraught Feelings 

Known Fickle Aka Flighty!?! 

Beloved, 

We Have The Infallible Aka Trust-Worthy Word Of 

The Living God Who Never Changes! 

Our God Is Not A Time-Bound Philosopher

A Paper Tiger

A Plaster Saint

Nor A Lying Man Who Changes His Mind 

As Often As He Changes His Garments 

And 

Direction Of Travel! 

Dear Ones, 

We May Set Our Temporal Clocks 

By The Sun Of Righteousness, The Eternal God

In Whom Is No Variableness Or Shadow Of Turning! 

Today Is The Day Of Salvation 

And 

Our Savior Says: 

"Come Unto Me! 

Come And Dine! 

Make Your Home With Me! 

Trust Me And Obey! 

Take My Blessing 

Because

I Have Taken Away Your Blight

Your Sin! 

Your New Life Is In Me! 

You Confessed And Repented Of Your Sin 

And

Because I Am Faithful And Just

I Forgive You! 

Rest In Me And Be Refreshed! 

Hold My Hand! 

By Enduring Faith, Not Fickle Feelings

Be Anchored In Me! 

I Give You Joy!" 

Beloved, 

A Working Faith Can Never Fail 

So I Choose To Accept The Lord's Unspeakable Gift! 

Do You!?! 

Will You!?! 

Peace! 

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Safe In The Arms Of Jesus!

What Is The Point Of 

Having Big Money And A Bad Mind

Having Reach And No Grasp

Having A Hold But No Help

Having Your Best Life Now 

And 

No Liberty In The Lord Jesus!?! 

What Does It Profit Us To Gain The Whole World 

And 

Lose Our Own Souls!?! 

Will You Lose Your Battle Against Sin 

For Lack Of A Nail In A Sure Place: 

Upon What Foundation Are You Building Your House!?! 

Beloved, 

The Truth Is That Jesus Christ 

Is 

The Truth! 

Accepting 

And 

Operating On And In The Truth 

Saves Our Souls From Sin! 

Rejecting Sin Puts Us Squarely In Satan's Cross-Hairs 

And

Safely In The Arms Of Jesus Christ The King Who 

Is 

Lord, Life, Love, Light

And 

Liberty! 

A Question Must Be Asked: 

In Whom Is Your Trust Placed!?! 

The Answer Must Be Given: 

I Trust In Almighty God Through Jesus Christ! 

A Walk Must Be Started! 

The Life Will Be Changed! 

Desires Will Be Reorganized And Refined! 

Hope Will Point To Glory! 

Faith Will Lead The Way

And

Victory Will Open The Door 

Because 

Endurance Caused You To Pray ... 

"Jesus, Thou Son Of David

Please Have Mercy On Me!"

 

Salvation Saves The Day 

And 

Paves The Way ... Home! 

Do Not Lean On Your Own Understanding: 

Jesus Christ The Righteous

Is 

Always The Answer To All Our Questionings! 

No Jesus, No Peace! 

Know Jesus And Know Peace! 

HAPPY SABBATH + Hold Hope In Christ Or Handle Hell With Satan!

A Humble, Praying, Saint 

Makes Proud Satan's Knees Weak! 

Beloved, 

We Must Go Through Present Peril 

To Get To Everlasting Peace! 

We Must Overcome Sinning 

To Arrive At Sanctification! 

We Must Overcome Ungodly Fear 

To Enjoy Freedom In Christ! 

We Must, By Grace, Conquer Our Heart 

If We Will Rule Our Head! 

We Must Hold Hope In Christ 

Or We Will Handle Hell With Satan! 

We Must Deny Ungodly Passion 

Or Die In Satanic Pride! 

We Cannot Seek The Savior 

And 

Also Serve Self! 

When We Mind The Master 

We Will Master Our Mind! 

When We Trust The Lord Aka The Truth 

We Will Be Truthful In Our Trusting! 

We Are Blessed With Daily Faith 

And 

Our Faithfulness Blesses Us Daily! 

Dear Ones, 

Our Blessed Savior Has Done The Hard Work For Us 

And

By Enduring Faith Which Works By Love

We Will Reap The "Sweets" Of Sure Salvation!

We Must Do Our Part

And

Trust And Obey! 

Please Remember, However, That 

Almighty God's Saving Grace 

Does Not Cover 

Unrepentant Man's Unconfessed Greed 

And 

Presumptuousness! 

Do Not Tempt The Lord! 

There Is No Balancing Act 

Or Fence Riding 

In Christ's Christianity: 

It's All In Or All Out! 

Earthly Riches Are Not A Safety Net: 

Jesus Christ Is! 

Therefore, Let Your Motto Be: 

It Is Best To Wear Out In The Service Of The Savior 

Than To Burn Up Through Being Served By Satan! 

Be Wise For Your Own Self: 

We Are Overcomers In Christ Jesus ... Alone! 

Peace! 

Hell's Kitchen

On The Dark Side Of Life

There Is A Master-Servant Relationship! 

The Sadist Aka The Master 

Loves To Cause Humiliation 

And

Inflict Pain On The Masochist Aka The Servant 

And Thereby 

Finds Pleasure! 

We'll Call This Sadist 

Satan ... The Seller Of Sin And Its "Pleasures!" 

The Servant Aka The Sinner

Having Been Conditioned To Find Pleasure In Degradation

Seeks Out The Master To Get A Fix To Feel Alive

And 

To Hear That They're Loved

Even Though They Know That It's A Lie! 

Beloved, 

Living For Self 

Allows Satan To Turn Us Into Masochists 

Whom He Controls With Things Known Hurtful 

To Get Thrills Known Painful 

Which Lead To Destinations Known Deadly! 

We Can Do Better Than This 

And So 

I Present To You Jesus Christ The King

The True Master

Who Is The Real Lover Of Your Soul 

Who Took Into Himself The Humiliation

Degradation

And 

Death That Is Really Your Own 

So That You Don't Have To Eat At Hell's Kitchen 

Where The Chef De Cuisine 

Is 

That Same Satan

The Father Of Lies

The Murderer

And 

The Dealer Of Damnation To All Who Refuse 

Daily Faith

Sure Salvation

Free Mercy

And 

Sufficient Grace 

Which Are Gifted To All Who Sacrifice Self 

On The Altar Of Life In Christ 

Where Pardon For Sin 

And 

Peace That Endureth 

Are Guaranteed By The Holy God! 

Cleansing Is In The Blood Of The True Master 

Who Is Also Master Of The Winds Of Strife 

And 

The Waves Of Despair: 

He Knows Your Name And Nature 

And

Desires To Bless You 

No Matter How Low You've Fallen! 

Dare To Trust Him!

Change Sides: 

Choose Salvation! 

Salvation Satisfies The Sin-Sick Soul!

Desire Deliverance 

And 

Ditch Death! 

Jesus Christ, The Life Of Every Man, Saves! 

Peace! 

ROAD TO RUINATION: Envy Is Like Green On Speed!

Envy Is Like Greed On Speed! 

Both Of These Are Tools Of The Devil 

So Please Do Not Allow Them In Your Life To Lead! 

Satisfaction And Love And Contentment Make Gratitude Shine 

So Do Yourself A Favor 

And 

Do Not For Unreceived Things Pine! 

Satan Started Us On This Road To Ruination 

And 

Sad To Say, Beloved

It Is In Every Family

At Every Station Of Life

And 

In Every Nation! 

But

Let Us Thank Almighty God For Jesus Christ Our King 

Who Has Told Us About 

And 

Shown Us How To Be Contented With Such Things As We Have 

Because

He Has Promised Never To Leave Us Or Forsake Us: 

This Wonderful Blessing Should Make Our Hearts Truly Glad! 

Let's Enjoy The Walk Along Green Pastures

And 

Eat Our "Grass" With Joy! 

Let's Drink Our Still Aka Easily Accessible Water To Satisfaction

And 

Let Our Souls Be Restored: 

This Is Not A Lost Man's Fad! 

We Have Oil To Anoint Our Heads! 

Dear Ones, 

Please Keep In Remembrance That 

A Table Sumptuously Set For You

For Raging Enemies To See

Is 

The Promise Of The Kind King

Our Master

The Loving Shepherd

Who Leads Us, His Obedient Sheep, Ever So Gently! 

Be Grateful: 

He Is Gracious! 

Be Thankful: 

He Is Merciful! 

Be Prayerful: 

He Answers On Time

And 

The Results Are Glorious! 

The Great Day Is Coming: 

You Do Not Want To Be Left Out Of The Eternal Blessings! 

In Jesus Christ's Holy Name

Bless Almighty God For What You Know That You've Got!

All Of Our Needs Are Met! 

Peace!

PUZZLE: Almighty God's Plan!

Brethren, Beloved, 

Listen Carefully To Me! 

You Are A Part Of The Lord's Plan

- A Puzzle To Man -

So Look Carefully For 

And 

Be Your Piece 

If 

You Desire To Enter The Heavenly Land!

Jesus Christ The Righteous, The Lord, The King

Is 

The Center 

And

The Corners Four 

And

He Makes Up All The Borders 

Outside Of Which There Is No Safe Harbor

No Peaceful Shore! 

A Finished Puzzle Has All Of Its Pieces In Place 

And 

It Is Certain, I Can Tell You, When The Puzzle Is Completed 

There Will Be No Piece Missing, Askew, Or Out Of Its Place! 

Think Careful! 

Act Wisely! 

Don't Try To Fit Where You Cannot! 

The Lord Christ, Our Creator

Has Created For You A Perfect Spot 

So Do Not Envy Others 

Or Vainly Try To Stand In Their Slot! 

Your Edges Are Fixed! 

Your Picture Is Sure! 

Your Position Is Immovable! 

You Cannot Be In The Middle 

When Your Place 

Is 

Close To Him Who Is Also Called The Door! 

Isn't The Lord Everywhere!?! 

Sit Down Firmly In Your Slot! 

Fill Full Your Lot! 

Hold The Fort Until You Are Sealed 

And 

Surely You Will Fulfill Your Mission 

According To The Lord's "Clock!" 

Lock In! 

Keep Your Face Up! 

Make Sure That Your Vessel 

Is 

The Filled With Blessings Cup! 

Peace!

Deliverance Is Just A Prayer Away!

Salvation Has Been Brought Down!

Deliverance 

Is 

Just A Prayer Away! 

The Good Book Doesn't Lie 

And

Neither Does The Living Loving Good God 

About Whom The Good Book Speaks! 

Beloved, 

All Of Almighty God's Promises Are Conditional! 

We Cannot Expect To Call Upon The Lord To Deliver Us 

When We Are Presumptuously Down In Babylon

In Known Confusion

Belly-Up To The Flesh-Pots

Drinking, Swearing

Basely Bowing Before Inanimate Idols 

Taking The Lord's Name In Vain 

Committing Murder With Our Mouths And Hands

Being False-Oath Takers

Coveting The Husbands, Wives, And Property Of Our Neighbors 

And 

Calling The Living God A Liar 

By Doubting His True Promise Of Forgiveness 

For Our Confessed And Repented Of Sin! 

Our Sin Is Not Bigger Than Almighty God's Capacity 

To Forgive And Cleanse 

So Accept What The Lord Has Already Given 

And

Turn Back From Condemned Babylon! 

Our God Calls: Answer! 

Our God Forgives: Accept! 

Our God Blesses: Believe! 

You're Human: 

Don't Use It As A Cloak For Sin! 

Our God Is Able 

So Rest In His Arms 

On His Word 

According To His Will 

And

In His Prescribed Way! 

Reach For The Extended Hand 

And 

Be At Peace! 

The Lord Knows Your Name

And

He Forgives 

And 

Cleanses You Of Your Sin And Shame 

After You Fulfill Your Obligation! 

Love The Lover Of Your Soul Solely 

And

Proclaim His Great Goodness To You Boldly! 

Peace! 

Wearing The King's Supplied-For-Us Garments!

No Love, No Faith, No Works, No Robe!

What Are We Rejoicing Over 

And

Being Joyful About 

If

We Are Not Attired In The Garments 

Which The Lord Christ Has Supplied For Us To Wear 

And

As A Mark Of Our Cooperation With

And 

Obedience And Belonging To Him!?! 

Beloved, 

In These Last Days

There Will Be Those Among Us Who Will Bear The Lord's Name 

But

Will Provide Their Own Food Aka Truth 

And 

Their Own Clothing Aka Doctrines, Behaviors, Beliefs! 

They Desire To Bear That Holy Name 

To Hide Their Obvious Shame! 

Let Us Not Join With The Proud Evil-Doers Because 

It Will Not End Well With Them 

Or Any Who Join With Them In Their Rebellion! 

Pride, Rebellion, And Disobedience 

Are All Character Traits Of 

Satan And All Who Now Walk As He Did! 

The First Garment Of Salvation, Justification

Is 

Ours When We Accept Jesus! 

To Achieve The Second, Sanctification

Is 

The Work Of A Lifetime! 

Glorification Aka Immortality, Incorruptibility

The Clean, White, Linen Robe Of Christ's Righteousness 

Is 

The Reward Of Those Who Pass The Test Aka Overcome Sin! 

They Are Found Faithful ...  Redeemable

Prior To The Glad Day When The Lord Comes 

Bringing His Rewards With Him 

To Claim His People, His Saints! 

What Are You Saying, Doing, Wearing, Baring!?! 

Are You True To The Committed Class 

In The School Of Christ!?! 

Are You A Skin-Out Name-Only Christian 

Or

A Spirit-Filled, Obedient

Working, Watching, Waiting, Christian!?! 

The Lord Knows! 

Do You!?! 

Do I!?! 

Let's Seriously Think About It 

And 

Choose To Live In Righteousness ... Now! 

Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: PRAYER: The Year Is New And God's Word Remains True!

Father! 

My God In Heaven!

Holy Is Your Name! 

I Sincerely Beseech You To Help Me To Remain Faithful 

So That You Will Always Be Father To, And Holy For, Me! 

May You Thus Be For All Who Are Committed 

To The Cause Of Jesus Christ! 

I Have No Known Reason To Doubt You Or Your Word 

And By Your Saving Grace, I Plead, Lord, That 

The Day Will Never Come 

When I Know Who For, What With, Where, Which Way

And When I Will Choose To Betray My Savior For Comfort And Cash 

Which Are Mere Illusions 

In The Eternal Scheme Of Things! 

It Is My Soul's Desire To: 

H ave A Regular Talk With My Jesus

A ppreciate That I Am Truly Blessed

P ray For Friends And Enemies

P ut My Spiritual House In Order

Y ield Not To Temptation

N ever Depart From The Savior's Side 

E ncourage Others On Their Journey To Joy

W atch, Work, And Wait For The Great Day

Y ield My Will To My Savior

E ndure All Things For My Lord

A llow The Holy Spirit To Work

R ejoice That The Lord Christ Is The King! 

In The Name That Is Above All Names

The Only Name By Which We Are Saved

I Pray For The Brethren The World Around 

Who Are Seeking For, And Coming To, Faith That 

Their Heart's Desire Will Be Met 

While It Is Yet Day! 

Remind Us That Our Happiness

Is Only Found In The Lord Jesus Christ

And Bless Us To Find Our Contentment In Him!

Please Protect, Provide For, Correct

And Direct Us All Who Are Willing 

On The Narrow Way Home! 

Remember Us All In Your Great Mercy As Only You Are Able 

For We Love You More Than Life Itself! 

Please Come For Us Soon! 

AMEN!!!
