VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: The Voice Of The Martyr Stephen!










The Life Of Stephen 
- The First Martyr For The Faith Of Jesus Christ - 
Should Inspire Everyone Of Us Who Trusts In The Lord 
For Our Eternal Salvation! 

Beloved, 

Stephen's Life Accused Those Who Knew Not The Lord 
And
He Was Hated For It! 

Stephen's Ways Pleased The Lord 
And
The Lord Blessed Him With The Heavenly Vision 
As His Days' End Visibly Approached! 

Dear Ones, 

In The Earthly Court
As Long As The Judge Is Seated
Both Accuser And Defendant Have Opportunity To Speak 
But
When The Judge Stands Up
Judgment Has Been Rendered 
And
The Case Is Over! 

Stephen Saw Jesus Christ Standing At The Right Hand Of God 
And 
He Went To His Long-Sleep Knowing That 
The Lord, The Judge Of All Flesh
Had Rendered Judgment Against Wicked Men 
And 
In His Favor! 

Dear Ones, 

Hold On To Your Blessed Hope In The Lord! 

The Wicked May Escape Justice On Earth 
But 
They Cannot Escape The Court Of Heaven! 

Please Dare To Live Your Life 
With Heaven Ever Always In Your View! 

In The Name Of Jesus
Pray And Please Almighty God 
And 
He Will Surely Bless You To All Pleasing! 

Peace!

HAPPY SABBATH + Embrace The Square!











Unclean Food Looks Pretty On A Plate 
But 
It Doesn't Mean That We Should A Bite Take! 

Just Because Someone Has On Pyjamas 
It Doesn't Mean That For Us It Is Night-Night! 

Beloved, 

As Christians Called, Commissioned, Committed, And Caring
Are We To Jump On Every Band-Wagon Going Down The Road 
Just Because Pretty, Important, Monied, And Posh Persons Are Partying!?! 

Christians Are To Embrace The Square! 

We Are To Be As Square Pegs In Round Holes 
Aka We Are Not To Fit In With Folly! 

We Are Not To Follow 
The Fashionable Frauds Who Teach And Preach 
The Gospel Of Convenience 
And 
A Social-Justice Fireman Jesus! 

When We Look At The Life Of Our Lord Jesus
We See The God-Man Who Did Not Go Along To Get Along
Who Did Not Follow But Led
And 
Who Stood Out Because He Did Not Blend It! 

Our Jesus Knew Who He Came From
Who He Was
His Assignment
The Cost Of Completing The Work
And 
The Reward For Success
And
He Walked Straight, Undeterred, Unwavering, And Focused 
As The Needle To The Pole On The Compass Of Eternity! 

Are You Of Steadfast Faith 
Or Are You Only As Strong As The Sun-Shiny Day 
No Showers Expected!?! 

Let's Be Like Our Lord Christ! 

Please Don't Get Side-Tracked By The Trivial And The Trite! 
Prioritize! 

Peace!

Don't Let Satan Piss In Your Pot!




Anger!
Is Anger Eating You 
And 
Is It Causing You To Want To Eat Somebody 
Raw ... Without Salt!?! 

Our Lord Commands Us To Be Angry 
And Not Sin 
Because 
We Are Quite Capable Of Getting Angry 
And
Boldly Sinning 
Without Regard For Either The Cause Of Our Anger
Our Heart's Condition
Or The Real Consequences Of 
Unrestrained, Runaway, Anger! 

Beloved, 

The Statement Has Been Uttered 
When People Have Become Angered That 
"The Blood Rushed Into My Head And I Saw Red!

Others Have Said, After The Fact, That 
"I Lost My Head!" 

Heads Up, People! 
Satan Found It! 

Some People Have Spoken Of Raging Anger As 
"The Devil Pissing In Their Pot And Them Wanting Blood!" 

Still Others Speak About Not Getting Mad 
But 
Getting Even! 

Dear Ones, 

Satan Loves, Loves, Loves This Kind Of Language: 
The Lord Of Life Does Not! 

Let Us Remember That 


Misunderstandings Over Mistakes 
Make Minor Matters Major
And
Man Miserable! 


Think Before You Talk! 
Use Wisdom Before You Walk! 
Apologize Before You Antagonize! 
And 
Pray Before You Prey On Someone 
Or Become Someone's Prey! 

A Moment With Jesus Christ 
Always Saves Your Sanity 
And 
Your Day! 

Peace!

Vessels Of Honor: Be Ye Clean!



A New And Clean Heart 
And 
A New And Right Spirit 
Are Present And Available Gifts To Us 
From The Eternal God! 

Beloved, 

Why Would You Ever Trust Someone 
Who Encourages You To Live A Life Of Stagnation
In Putrid Pride
Given To Constantly Reinventing Yourself 
To Remain Relevant 
To The Worldly-Wise 
Who Neither Know The Lord Nor Their Own Minds!?! 

Our Lord Christ Calls Us To His Side As We Are 
But
We Cannot Remain In Sin 
In The Holy Presence Of The Glorious Savior! 

We Must And Will Change In The Lord's Sight 
If 
We Are True-Hearted 
And 
Not As The Deceitful Bow 
Which Sends Its Arrows To Everywhere Else
Save Its Known Target! 

There's A Blessing For Us 
Who Choose Not To Walk In The Counsels Of The Ungodly! 

There Is New Life In Christ 
For All Who See Their Need 
And 
Trust Their Savior-Redeemer To Lead
Correct, Protect
And 
Provide For Them
And 
Not Pander To Their Weak Will 
As It Struggles Against Needed Change! 

We Are Called To Be Vessels Of Honor 
To Hold A Heart Like Christ's
And 
The Spirit That Loves Truth 
Which Comes From The Holy Spirit 
Who Leads Us Into All Truth! 

Be Ye Clean: 
Walk In The Newness Of Life!

Peace!

Banking At I-Know Aka The Savings-No Loan Operation!




The Compass Has Four Points! 
We Are In The Middle! 
Decisions Must Be Made! 

We Are Headed Home! 
Ahead Is The Sea Of Sorrow And The Sea To Salvation! 
To The Left Is The Desert Of Damnation! 
To The Right Is Mount Misery! 
Behind Us Are The Dealers Of Certain Death
The Butchers Of The Land 
From Whence We Just Gloriously Escaped 
After Our God ... The True And Living God
Authorized And Achieved Our Rich Deliverance! 

But Now, We "See" No Way Out 
Until The Voice Of Faith Is Heard Joyfully Saying: 

"The Lord Be Praised! 
The Lord Is In Our Midst! 
He Is Above Us, Over Us, And Around Us! 
We Will Get Through!" 

Beloved, 

The Devil Is The Liar! 

We Must Go Forward! 
We Go Through To Come Through! 
We Must Look Up To Live! 

We Cannot Live And Eternally Prosper 
On I-Feel
I-Hear
And 
I-See! 

We Must Bank At I-Know
The Savings-No Loans Operation 
Led By He-Cares 
Who Does Not Abide Pipe Dreams Or Pie In The Sky By And By! 

Another Cry Goes Up: 

"Praying Is Power!
Song Is A Strong Weapon Against Despair!" 

Yet Another Voice Is Heard Saying: 

"His Grace Is Always Greater Than Our Sin!" 

Dear One, 

Please Hear Yourself Saying: 

"My Faithful, Obedient, Endurance Is The Cure-For-All!" 

Listen To Jesus The Christ As He Gently Says: 

"Gather Around, Children! 
Draw Nearer! 
Shelter, Be Safe, Under My Wings!" 

Choose To Believe
And 
Be Blessed! 

Peace!

Humble Service And Sound Sleep Are Synonymous!




We Are Not Born For Worldly Greatness 
Nor Placed On This Earth To Be Served! 
Did Not Our Lord Jesus Say That 
He Did Not Come To Be Served But To Serve!?! 

Beloved, 

If The Creator God
The King Of Earth And Glory
Our Savior, Redeemer, And Forever Friend
He Who Causes Us To Be Because He Is
Humbly Served His Own  Creation During His Earthly Sojourn 
And
Is Even Now In The Most Holy Place Of The Heavenly Sanctuary 
Working
Making Intercession For Us 
So That We, Cleansed
May Return To The Father's House Of Amazing Love
Why, Why, Why Are We Becoming So Self-Centered 
And 
Self-Serving To Demand That 
Others Serve Us Like They Are Napkins 
Good Only For Using And Refusing!?! 

Dear Ones, 

Never, Ever, Mistake 
Willing Service In The King's Camp 
For Forced Servitude In The Devil's Dungeon! 

The Lord Of Life Asks:

"Whom Shall We Send And Who Will Go For Us!?!" 

Will You Answer The Call To Service 
Or Will You Insist On Being Served 
To The Detriment Of Your Own Soul!?! 

The Proud Are Never Satisfied With What They Are Served! 

Humble Service 
Is 
Ground For Sound Sleep! 
Let's Joyfully Serve Our King Jesus! 

Peace!

Satan Sells Fool's Gold!








How Would You Feel Being In A Relationship With Someone 
Who Only Offered You A Good Time
Cheap Thrills
No Commitment 
And For Sure
No Happily Ever After Aka No Forever In Heart And Home!?! 

Beloved, 

Jesus Christ Has Plainly Told Us:
"Let No One 
Aka Man, Woman, Child, Angel Or Demon, Deceive You!" 

Since This Is The Case
Why Are We Being Complicit In Our Own Proposed Destruction 
By Rejecting The Sweet Fruit Of The Gospel Of Truth 
Aka Life In And For Christ
- Hard, Sure, And Eternally Secure - 
To Accept The Smoke 'n Mirrors Circus Magic Show Of 
License, Lust, And Lies
Easy To Embrace 
And 
Popular To Live 
But 
Impossible To Hold
Because 
It Is A Hole
As Manufactured, Offered, And Maintained 
By Satan The Damned!?! 
Good Times Don't Last 
But 
Good People Do ... By Almighty God's Great Grace! 

Satan Cannot Create Anything Good 
But 
He Can Abominate It! 

We, Humans, Christians, Have The Ability To Create 
And 
Be In A Committed, Caring, Permanent Relationship 
With Jesus Christ The Kind And Gracious King
By Invitation Easy To Accept And Foster! 

Satan Sells Pyrite, Fool's Gold, A Fraud! 

Jesus Christ Bestows Tried Gold, Precious ... Priceless! 

Know The Difference 
And 
Be As The One Wise! 

Make The Hard Decision! 

Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Praise The Lord ... With Truth!







Praise God From Whom All Blessings Flow! 

Our God Is The God Of Order, The Master Of Design! 
He Changes Not From Day To Day 
Because 
He Is Almighty, Holy, Divine! 

Speak No Corrupt Words! 

Order Out Of Chaos 
Is 
The Satanic Construct 
And 
All Who Follow After This Fad 
Do Not With Saving Truth
Legal Business Conduct! 

Beloved, 

As Believers, We Must Stand In The Truth 
Or Fall By Science So Called 
As Proffered By Those Who Know Not The True And Living God! 

Dare To Look At Your Eye
You Hand
Your Tongue
Your Skin
And 
Letting The Truth Be Your Living Guide
See If Chaos Was The Lead In Your Body Parts' Making! 

We Are Fearfully And Wonderfully Made 
With Love Stitching Our Parts Together
So There Is No Need To Permit Satan And His Minions 
To Tie Us In Knots
When The Creator, The Author
The Finisher Of Our Faith 
Invites Us On His Land On One Of Its Lots
Residence Freely To Take Up! 

Open Your Eyes! 
Truth Is Shining: 
Speak It! 

Lift Up Jesus Christ The Lord! 

Peace!

HAPPY SABBATH + Lord, Please Change My Heart!












Let's Call Pain, Change! 
Let's Call Change, Purpose! 
Let's Call Purpose, Growth! 
Let's Conclude That Without Pain 
There's No Growth 
And
Without Purpose
There's No Change! 

Beloved, 

Pain Serves A Two-Fold Purpose! 
It Informs Us That There's A Problem Needing Attention 
And
It Encourages Us To Go After The Means 
Whereby Help And Healing Are To Be Found! 

Pain Motivates! 
Throbbing Pain Activates! 
Excruciating Pain Debilitates 
And 
Points To That Thing That Must Be Excoriated 
Aka Peeled Away, Removed
So That We May Move 
From Needing Grace To Embracing Glory
From Being Grieved To Embodying Gladness
From Prayer To Praise
From Hell To Heaven! 

By Jesus Christ's Stripes
His Lashed Skin
His Excruciating Pain
We Are Healed! 

Jesus Christ Died Once For All! 
He Is Our Great Physician 
And
Anything, Everything, That Pains Us
He Has Already Endured! 

Why Would You Choose To Live In Sin's Unprofitable Pain
When Being With Our Dear Savior Can Turn That Pain 
Into A Purpose 
Which Will Cause You To Grow In His Grace 
To Become A Citizen Fit To Share In His Eternal Glory!?! 

Jesus Christ Saves Us From Sin 
A Problem For Which He Is The Only Cure! 

Are You Ready, Willing, To Be Healed ... Today!?! 

Come To The Altar! 

Peace!

Deliberately Demonstrate What You Want Demonstrably Done To You!


KJV Matthew 7:12
12 Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets.


Do Unto Others As You Want Them To Do Unto You! 

Blessed Are The Merciful For They Will Obtain Mercy! 

Beloved, 

Give ... And It Will Come Back To You 
Whether It Is Good, Bad, Indifferent
Cruel, Hateful
Blessed Or Cursed! 

If We Would Choose To Live With The Certain Knowledge That 
The Word Of God Cannot Fail
We Would Also Choose To Stop And Think Carefully 
Aka Long And Hard
Before We Choose To Lay Snares
Be Unkind, Untruthful, Unhelpful
Disrespectful
And 
Callous-Minded Towards Others
No Matter How We "Feel!" 

A Farmer Cannot Plant Onions And Reap Tomatoes! 

A Person Cannot Sow The Seeds Of Discord 
And 
Actually Expect To Live In Peace! 

Christians Cannot Live Unkindly 
With A Side Of Bitterness 
And 
Consciously Expect To Harvest 
Kindness And Sweetness! 

Dear Ones, 

We Are Nearing Home! 
Please Let Us Each Choose
Choose
Choose To Live Christ-Like Lives
Caring, Kind, Giving, Blessing,  Forgiving
And 
Joy-Filled! 

The Lord Means What He Says! 

We Will Each Reap The Abundant Harvest Of 
The Seeds That We Sow! 
Please Choose Your Crop Carefully! 

Peace!

Unwavering Faith In He Who Ever Lives!

KJV Job 13:15-16
15 Though he slay me, yet will I trust in him: but I will maintain mine own ways before him.
16 He also shall be my salvation: for an hypocrite shall not come before him.


It Takes Unwavering Faith, Explicit Belief, To Be Able To Say That 
You Are Going To Maintain Your Ways Aka Your Integrity 
And 
Keep Your Trust Firmly Placed In Someone 
Who Has The Power To Kill You! 

It Takes That Same Unfailing Faith And  Unshakable Belief 
To Say That That Someone 
Is 
Your Salvation 
Because 
They Know That You Are Not A Deceitful Wretch Aka A Hypocrite! 

Beloved, 

Oh, That We All Would Be As That Righteous Job Was! 

To Go Through The Fire Of Affliction
Physically, Financially, Emotionally, And Spiritually 
And Still 
Trust Jesus Christ The Lord 
Because 
You Have Embraced The Promise:
 "I Know That My Redeemer Lives!" 
"These Dry Bones Shall Live Again!" 
"Where I Am There Shall Also My Servant Be!" 
"No Good Thing Will He Withhold From Them That Walk Uprightly!" 
Is 
To Know The Peace Which Passes Human Aka Finite Understanding! 

Dear Ones, 

Our Lord Is Not Slack Concerning His Promises
His Stated Blood-Bought Intentions, Towards Us! 

"Yes, Lord!" 
And 
"Thank You, Jesus!" 
"Amen!" 
Should Be On Rewind, Replay, Constant Rotation 
On Our Heart For Christ! 

Yes, The Lord Can Kill You! 
Think! 
The Lord Also Daily Keeps Us Alive 
And
He Also Also Raises The Dead! 

Our Redeemer Lives: 
Live For Jesus! 

Peace Be Upon You!

Jesus Christ Is Not A Blind Guide!



KJV Proverbs 21:21
21 He that followeth after righteousness and mercy findeth life, righteousness, and honour.


Why Would A Christian Called, Committed, And Caring
Walk Confidently ... Eyes Down-Cast And Covered 
Along The Unknown Road Fraught With Danger
Policed By The Devil And Demons
The Demon-Possessed And The Demon-Inspired 
When Our Dear Savior Savior Says: 
"Look Up And Live: Follow Me!?!" 

Beloved, 

There Are People All Around Us 
Who Do Not Our Principles Share
Who Have Chosen The Path Of Destruction
And 
Who Do Not The Living, Holy, God Fear! 

I Beseech Us All Kindly
To Think Of Our Jesus 
Who Died To Grant Us Each His Free-To-All Salvation 

And Then

Remove The Blinders
And
Trustingly Lift Up Our Heads 
And
Widely Open Our Eyes! 

The Light Of Life 
Is 
Above And Ahead Of Us! 

The Strong Arm Of Love 
Is 
Our Comfort And Shield! 

The Road To Eternal Life
Is 
Straight, Narrow, And Clearly Defined
And 
Holy Angels Excelling In Strength 
Are Dutifully Protecting Us 
Who Are Staying On The Heaven-Bound Line! 

Work, Watch
Don't Wander Or Wonder
And 
Please Patiently Wait On 
The God Of Grace Who Inhabits Glory! 

Jesus Christ Is Neither A Blind Guide
An Empty Cloud
A Shooting Star
Nor A Fruitless Tree 
So Honor Him Who Made You 
And 
Only To Him Give Your Heart 
And
Humbly Bend Your Knee!

Please Make Jesus Christ The King Your Choice! 

Peace!

Editing The Eternal God!?!

KJV 1 John 3:18
18 My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth.


There Is No Loving And Believing God 
Without Trusting And Obeying His Word 
By Walking According To His Will! 

Beloved, 

We Know The Truth: 
If We Say That We Love The Lord
We Must Keep All Of His Commandments 
And 
Not Just The Convenient, Comfortable, Ones
And
We Must Not Try To Rewrite The Word
Which Means "Editing" The Eternal
When His Will Conflicts With Our Desire
Or Mashes Our Corns
Or Infuriates Our Delicate Sensibilities 
Which Will Negate Our Man-Derived Conception Called 
My Truth! 

Accepting Jesus Christ Means Accepting His Word
His Will
And 
Walking In His Way In All Particulars 
If 
"The Lord Is My Shepherd, I Shall Not Want!!" 
And 
"All Things Work Together For Our Good!" 
Are The Truth! 

Morning, Evening, Noon, Or Night
Truth Is The Same 
Whether We Are In Prosperity 
Or Suffering Through Blight! 

Let's Stop With The Word-Play 
And, Instead
Pray To The Father
In The Name Of The Son
That The Holy Spirit Will Abide With Us 
And 
Lead Us Into All Truth 
While Life Shall Last! 

There Is No Second Chance 
To Make A First Good Impression! 

The Arm Of Man Will Fail 
So Let Us Make Our Lives Matter 
Through Exercising Faith In Jesus Christ The Lord! 

Peace!

The Heart Wants What It Wants!?!

KJV Hebrews 10:31, 35
31 It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.
35 Cast not away therefore your confidence, which hath great recompence of reward.


Do Not Reject The Love Of Almighty God! 

Satan, The Eternally Damned
Has A Countermanding  Command 
For Every Just And Righteous Commandment Of 
Our Holy God! 

Whose Word Are You Obeying!?! 

Please Remember That 
You Are The Slave Of The One Whom You Obey! 

Satan Says That 
"Do What Thou Wilt Shall Be The Whole Of The Law!" 

The Lord Of Life
The Living God Who Gives Us Grace 
With The Sure And Secure Invitation 
To His Surpassing Glory, Says: 
"Fear God, And Keep His Commandments 
For This Is The Whole Duty Of Man!" 

Beloved, 

As Always, Heed The Call: 
"Be Wise!" 

I Beseech Us All
As Pilgrims And Strangers In A Strange Land
Please Do Not Fall For The World's Technicolor Tactics! 

Do Not Fall Into The Trap That Says That: 
"The Heart Wants What It Wants ... No Holy God 
Or Pricking Conscience Moved By The Holy Spirit 
Who Leads Into All Truth Required Or Desired!" 

No Matter Our Station Or Standing
The Day Of Judgment Is Sure! 

I Sincerely Pray That We Will Be Of The Pilgrim Band 
Whose Judge Is The Kind King
The Shepherd Of Love
The Prince Of Peace Who Will Commend Us 
And 
Command Us To Enter Into His Rest! 

The Lord Be With You! 

Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: COO Right!




I Heard It Spoken By Elders
I Read It As Written By Youngsters
And 
I'm Certain That I've Said It Myself More Than A Time Or Two 
And
I've Come To The Conclusion, On Godly Evidence
That This One Statement 
Is 
Patently False And Positively True! 

"Okie Dokie, Smokie! 
Would You Like To Wheel And Come Again!?!" 

Beloved, 

The Statement
"What's Going To Happen Has To Happen!" 
Is 
Both True And False ... With A Proviso! 

If You Commit Sin
You Are Going To Die! 

If You Commit Sin 
And
Become Sorry, Confess, And Sincerely Repent
And 
Choose To Live In And For Christ
While You May Die The Once-To-Every-Man Death
You Will Sleep To Rise ... And Live Eternally! 

Unrepentant Sinners Die Once
To Die Twice
Never To Live Again! 

We Do Not Have To Sin! 

Sinning Is A Choice 
So Willing Sinning Causes "What Has To Happen, To Happen!" 
Aka What Must Must, Must Must! 

We Don't Have To Be Saints Of God And Christ 
But
If We Are
Our Redemption From Death Is Guaranteed! 
What Has To Happen, Will Happen! 

The Bottom Line ... 

We Have To COO Right Because Our 
Choice To Perform 
Opportunity To Shine Or Be Shamed, And To Receive The Appended
Outcome 
Is 
In Our Hearts And Hands! 

Don't Be Cuckoo: 
Be Wise! 

Peace!

HAPPY SABBATH + Be Persistent ... Never Distant!

















Beloved, 

Be Consistent, Instant, Persistent
And 
Never Distant! 

God Is Near!

A Consistent Christian Is Obvious: 
We Practice What Is Preached
Play Fair
Pray And Share
Live Like The Master 
And
We Dutifully From Sin Daringly Run Away! 

The Consistent Christian 
Is 
Persistent In Letting Their Light Shine 
And
Is Never Distant From The Way Of The Word 
And
Chooses To Be Instant In Prayer 
And
In Helping Out Whoever, Whenever 
And 
Wherever Possible 
When An Expressed Need Is Heard 

And

They Are Not Moved By The Insistent Pleas Of 
The Wayward Inviting Them To Conform 
To The Willful Ways Of The Wide, Wild, World! 

The Voice That Is Heeded 
Is 
The Sweet Voice Of Our Blessed Jesus
The King Of Glory
The Lord Of Life
The Prince Of Peace 
Whom We Shall See ... On The Appointed Day
Approaching From The East! 

How Are You!?! 

Who Are You ... Today!?! 

Are You Headed To Hill Zion 
On The Holy Way That Always Gloriously Pays!?! 

If Changes Are Required, Dear One
Be Persistent In Your Prayers 
And 
Do Exactly What Our Dear Savior Says: 
You Are Greatly Loved: 
From The Path Of Righteousness Do Not Turn Away!

 Peace!
