COMPLETE THE TRANSACTION: Cooperate With The Lord Christ!

Even Though Jesus Christ Paid 

The Full And Final Price For Our Souls' Salvation

There Is Something That Each Of Us Must Do

To Complete The Transaction! 

Beloved, 

An Unopened Gift 

Is 

Just A Present Present! 

An Opened But Unutilized Gift 

Is 

A Dust-Catcher 

Because 

It Makes You Work But Pays No Salary! 

An Opened And Utilized Gift That 

Is 

Despised, Disparaged, And Discounted 

Will Ultimately Be Discarded 

And

That Person Who Acts So Disrespectfully 

Towards Almighty God's Good And Perfect Gifts 

Will, On The Day Appointed, Be Destroyed! 

Dear Ones, 

Let's Back-Up To Go Forward! 

The Lord Always Gives Us A Part To Play 

In The Receipt Of Our Own Blessing: 

Ask ... To Receive

Obey ... And Be Blessed

Be Perfect ... As Your Father In Heaven Is Perfect

Turn Ye ... At My Reproof! 

When We Ask The Lord To Lead Us

We Are Informing The Lord That 

We Are Willing To Follow Where He Leads! 

When The Lord Says 

"Come Unto Me All Ye That Labor ... And I Will Give You Rest ...!" 

It Is Because He Has What We Need 

And

Our Recognizing 

And

Accepting This 

Gives Us Wings, Energy, Desire To Reach Out 

And 

Touch The Living God 

Who Hears Our Cries

Heals Our Hurts 

And 

Blesses Us In And For Our Belief In Him! 

There Is No Profit In Useless Pride 

And 

No Benefit In Base Behavior! 

Please Wisely Accept The Gift Of Grace Gratefully:

Cooperate With Christ! 

Peace! 

Praying ... In Love

My Heartfelt Prayer For Us All Today Is: 

Heavenly Father, 

Please Continue To Grant Us

Our Daily Gift Of Unfailing Faith

To Help Us To Stand Rooted And Grounded In The Truth! 

Please Grant Us Strength To Walk Away

From Things Which Cannot Spiritually Profit Us

And

From People Who Curse The Name Of The Lord

And

Choose Not To Hear Of Or Know About Him

Or To Walk In His Ways! 

Please Grant Us The Needed Courage 

To Endure The Barbs And Reject The Dishonest Doings Of

Those Who Have Chosen To Walk In Darkness

Despising The Light That Leads To Eternal Life!

Oh, Father, 

Please Supply Us With The Love We Need To Have Hope

Because

We Have Chosen To Hope In The King Of Love

The Shepherd Who Leads Us To Eternal Rest! 

Please Help Us In Our Desire To Do All That You Ask Of Us

As We Willingly Choose To Do

What Is Good And Right And Holy! 

Finally, Dear Father,

Please Provide To Us, Out Of Your Riches In Glory

The Innumerable Blessings Needed

To Continually Pursue The Promise Of

A Place In Your House

In The Paradise Of God

Which Includes Immortality, Incorruptibility

Fruit From The Tree Of Life

And

Water From The River Of The Water Of Life

Which Flows By The Throne Of God! 

Thank You For The Unspeakable Gift! 

In Love, We Ask For All These Things 

And

Bless You

In Jesus Christ's Holy And Matchless Great Name! 

AMEN!!!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Keep Going Away To Jesus Christ The Lord!

 

An Alarm Clock Does Not Awaken Anybody: 

Almighty God Does!

Keep Yourself On Schedule: 

Set Your Alarm Clock! 

Going Away On Vacation 

Does Not Take Us Away From Our Problems! 

Keep Going Away ... To Jesus: 

He Refreshes And Regenerates! 

A Paycheck Does Not Purchase Or Provide 

Jesus' Peace Which Passes Human Understanding! 

Keep Praying In Faith And Walking In Strict Obedience 

To The Lord's Will To Be Able To Reap The Rewards Of 

The Enduring Faithful! 

Worrying Doesn't Lessen Burdens! 

Take Your Burdens To The Lord 

And

Leave Them There 

Because 

He Sacrificially Loves Us 

And

Is Our Burden-Bearer By His Own Choice! 

Cursing The Darkness 

Instead Of Turning On The Light 

When The Bill Is Known To Have Been Paid 

Doesn't Alter The Fact That 

Doubting The Lord Decimates 

And 

Trusting The Savior Elevates! 

Take A Good Look At Our King Jesus! 

Our Doubt Doesn't Change The Fact That 

Only Jesus Cares For Us! 

Our Daily Trusting In The Lord Helps Us 

To Daily, Moment-By-Moment, Trust In The Lord 

With Hope, For Help And Healing

And

For Provision And Protection! 

Dear Ones, 

I Beseech Us All

Please Adamantly Choose To Call On The Lord 

In The Holy Faith Which Cannot Fail 

As If Your Life Depends Upon It 

Because 

It Does! 

Walk With The Word In The Lord! 

Any Questions!?! 

Peace! 

HAPPY SABBATH + Contented In Christ!

 

There Is Nothing More Satisfying In This Life After Coming To Christ 

Than Coming To That Way-Marker Scribed As 

"Contented In Christ!" 

Hallelujah, Jesus! 

Beloved, 

Being Contented Is A Choice! 

Being Contented In Christ 

Is

A Choice 

And 

A Grace

An Unmerited Favor

A Super Power That Comes Of 

Having Made The Decision To Believe God

To Walk In The Word

To Trust The Way-Maker

To Listen And Learn 

Aka Harken And Do The Will Of

The One Who Heals And Seals

Teaches And Reveals

And 

Let The Comforter Carry, Lift, Comfort

And 

Elevate Us As We Press On To The Mark Of 

The High Calling In Christ Jesus! 

Dear Ones, 

There Are No Super-Christians! 

There Are No MDs, PhDs, Professors Emeritus

Or Honorary Saints Of God And Christ! 

We Are Christians Called 

Who Choose To Stand Up 

And

Having Counted The Cost

Have Cast Our Lot, Our Fortunes

In With Him Whom We Have Found Faithful And Just

Honest And True

Light And Life

Savior, Redeemer, And Forever-Faithful Friend 

Who Is Lord, God, And King! 

Let Us Sincerely Love Our Lord Jesus

Whole-Heartedly Look Up To Him

And 

Truly Live To Live ... Eternally! 

Peace!

Listen To The Lord Of Life!

 

Our Lord Christ Invites Us To Come To Him 

And 

Participate In A Reasoning Conversation! 

Satan, The Master Of Distraction

Tries To Insinuate Himself Between Us And Our Life-Giver And Savior 

By Saying That The Conversation Is A Con 

Because 

The Lord Jesus Is Trying To Make Converts To Himself 

By Bypassing Our Free-Will And Our Freedom To Choose How To Live 

And 

When And Where To Die! 

Are You Hearing

Truly Listening  ... And Understanding 

What Is Really Happening Here!?! 

Beloved, 

Jesus Christ Is Our Creator-God 

And 

He Has No Need Or Desire To Make Us Do Anything: 

There Is No Force In Love! 

Dear Ones, 

Satan, The Adversary Of Our Souls

The Roaring Lion

The Piercing Serpent

Is 

The Scorched-Earth "Builder" 

Aka The Destroyer

The Bait And Switch Con Artist Who Is The Father Of Lies 

Who Will Say Anything 

To Get Anyone To Have A "Productive" Conversation With Him 

In The Hope That It Will Convert Someone 

To His Wicked, Evil, Destructive Way

And 

Take Them Away From The Lord Christ

Almighty God In The Flesh! 

Please, I Beseech Us All

Reject Interactions With Glib-Tongued Found-Friend Strangers 

Who Can Show You Newer, Brighter, Shinier, Better 

Minus Truth, Light, Love, Grace, Peace, Goodness

And 

Access To The Heavenly Home 

And

Everlasting Life! 

Love The Lord Jesus Christ

And

Lose All Links To The Liar! 

Peace!

Of Hearts And Treasures!

When The Worldly-Wise Hear True-To-The-Class Christians Say That 

There Is Treasure Laid Up For Us In Heaven

They Look At Us As Though We Have Sprouted Extra Heads! 

Beloved, 

There Is Nothing Wrong With Being Rich 

Unless You Forget The Living God 

And 

Your Wealth Becomes Your God! 

There is Something Wrong With Us And Our Wealth 

If 

It Is Gotten By Fraud And Through Robbing The Poor! 

Dear Ones, 

We, As Practicing Christians, Should Tremble 

And 

Be In Fear Aka In Awe Of The Lord 

When We Read The Scripture Warning Us That 

Our Hearts Follow Our Treasures! 

We Should Remember The Story Of 

The Rich Young Ruler Who Knew The Scriptures

Obeyed The Law Of The Lord

But 

Chose His Numerous Visible Things Over His Lord Christ 

Who Offered Him Treasure Unknown And Unimaginable

In The Future Day Of God's Appointing! 

We Should Also Consider Abraham, Job, And Jacob 

Who Looked Forward To The Better Treasure 

While Being Liberal With What They Possessed! 

We May Also Learn Harsh Lessons From The Lives Of 

Prophet Balaam

Disciple Judas Iscariot

And 

Ananias And His Wife Sapphira 

Whose Hearts Were Totally Corrupted! 

They Lost Their Lives Twice 

Since They Will Not Be Participants In The Receipt Of 

The Gift Of Everlasting Life! 

Is Your Heart Right With God!?! 

Do You Recognize That Treasure Aka Wealth 

Is 

Just A Purpose-Built Tool 

Which Carves Out A Living 

But 

Cannot Give, Retain, Or Restore Life!?! 

Is Jesus Christ Really Your Everlasting Portion!?! 

Think About It! 

Peace! 

There Is No Death In Righteousness!

The Way Is Jesus Christ: 

He Is The One Righteous! 

The Pathway Is That Marked By Jesus Christ Himself! 

The Pathway Of Righteousness 

Is 

That Path For One's Feet 

Where It Is Impossible For One To Go Astray 

When One Moment-By-Moment Chooses 

To Faithfully Follow In The Footsteps Of Our Savior 

Doing What He Did

Speaking As He Spoke

Loving As He Loves

And 

Choosing To Let Your Conscience 

As Directed By The Holy Spirit Who Leads One Into All Truth 

Be The Sole Guide For Your Life In This Vale Of Tears! 

Beloved, 

Please Do Not Expect To Hear The Still Small Voice Of God 

In The Whirlwind

In The Earthquake

In The Fire

Or In The Multitudinous Voices Of The Self-Serving Sort! 

Dear Ones, 

When We Long For The Sights And Sounds Of 

Those Seeking Distraction From Sorry Self And Sordid Sin

The Clamor They Make Gives One The Impression That All Is Well! 

These Dear Souls

Purchased At Infinite Price With The Innocent Blood

Find No Peace In Quietness 

And As Such

See No Point To Being Still! 

Please, I Beseech Us All

Learn As King Solomon Learnt That 

A Life Lived By The Senses 

Is 

No Life At All 

But 

Vanity And A Vexation Of One's Spirit! 

Learn From The Prophet Elijah That 

It Is In The Stillness That 

We Will Hear The Lord  Speak! 

There Is No Life In Unrighteousness

And

There Is No Death In Righteousness! 

The Life Lived For Christ Has No End! 

Let's Live For King Jesus! 

Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: No Excuse For Sin!?!

Do You Make Excuses!?! 

Are You Making Excuses!?! 

Do You Desire To Be Excused For Having Done 

That Thing You Know That You Shouldn't Be Doing

That You Have No Right Doing 

Because 

It Is Wrong 

And 

Displeases Your Lord Jesus 

But

Makes You Feel Like A Champion

Invincible, Loved, Lovable, Visible, Powerful

Like The Cat's Meow

But 

Will Cause You To Be Excluded From 

The Camp Of The Courageous Ones 

Who Have Wisely Chosen To Have Themselves 

Permanently Excised 

From The Camp Of The Crazed, Craven, Corrupt, Carefree, Cruel

And 

The Contemptuous Of The Lord Christ!?! 

Beloved, 

There Is No Excuse For Sin 

Because 

There Is No Reason For Sin! 

Whatever Is Going On In Our Lives

We Must Arrive At That Bend In The Road 

Where Bright Hope For Tomorrow Meets Pale Glory Now! 

Dear Ones, 

Let Us Make The Decision To Quit Making Excuses Cold-Turkey 

Aka Without Holding Anything Back 

And 

Without Glass Crutches! 

Let's Turn On The Spotlight Of Truth 

And

Dare To Walk In The Light 

Following After Him Who Is The Way To Surpassing Glory That 

Cannot Ever Fade Or Be Fouled By Folly! 

Jesus Saves! 

Salvation Is Free To Me And Thee! 

Acceptance Of The Unspeakable Gift Is Optional: 

Excuses Are Rejected! 

From Sinning Be Forever Set Free! 

Peace! 

HAPPY SABBATH + Prayer: Neither Ashamed Nor Afraid To Pray ...!

PRAYER:

Heavenly Father, Kind And True

I Choose To Take You At Your Holy Word Because

It Needs No Reminders About Follow-Up And Follow Through! 

You Are The Living God, Holy, Faithful, Loving

The Ever Blessing God Who Is Not A Liar! 

I Give You Thanks And Praise! 

Lord, I Have Made Up My Mind That

I Want, Need, Desire, And Must Have All

Every Last Gift, Benefit, And Blessing That

You Have Promised Me In The Word Of Truth 

And

Through The Innocent Blood Spilt Because Of Me

And

For Me

On That Dark And Dread Day On Mount Calvary! 

Father, Without You, I Am Nothing

And

Can't Do Anything!

With You As My Guardian, My Guide

The One Who Causes Me To Live

And

Breathe And Just Be

And

By Your Gift To Me Of Free-Will

And

Freedom To Choose What I Want To Be And Do

I, This Day, Choose To Be What You Said That I Can Be

Which Is To Be Like My Blessed Savior

Jesus Christ The Lord! 

I Choose To Go Where You Send Me 

And

To Do What You Ask Me To Do! 

Lord, Please Help Me Not To Be Presumptuous

By Overstepping The Boundaries You Have Clearly Defined! 

Please Help Me, By Saving Grace

To Stay Under The Banner Of Prince Immanuel

And

Inside Of Your Hedge Of Protection That Is

Your Ten Commandments

The Keeping Of Which Is

The Key To A Happy And Peace-Filled Life!

I Need You, Father

And

I Am Neither Ashamed Nor Afraid To Pray That

I Will Come To Need You More And More Each And Every Day!

I Love You And I Come In Faith In Jesus' Holy Name:

Please Bless Me In My Need And Indeed!

AMEN! 

No Malice: No Mercy

When The Wrath Of The Living God 

Is 

Poured Out On The Sinful

Neither Malice Nor Mercy Shall Issue 

From His Holy Hand! 

"How Is Such A Thing Possible!" 

The Terrified Soul Exclaims

Suddenly Recognizing That The Very Savior He Roundly Scorned 

And 

Rejected 

Is 

The King, Lord, And Judge Of All Flesh

Who Had Called And Beseeched Him 

To Take The Extended Hand 

Which Would See Him To Heaven Elected

And

By The Life's Work Of Sanctification

Well And Truly Perfected! 

To Those Who Showed Man No Mercy

To Those Who Considered Malice To Be As Soda Pop

To Be Guzzled And Spewed Upon The Ones That 

They Called Religious Fools And Nuts

The Very Idea That They Would Be Recipients Of 

Turn-About Being Fair Play 

Left Them With Eyeballs Sweating 

And 

Their Tongues Hanging! 

Brethren, Beloved, 

This State Of Affairs Does Not Need To Be 

Because 

He Who Calls Us All To Salvation

Provides Grace Sufficient And Mercy Freely! 

We Are Called To Do Good 

And 

To Ever Live Right

And 

If We Make A Mistake It Is Not Fatal 

Because 

To Lead Us In The Path Of Righteousness 

Is 

His Sincere Delight! 

Confess Known Sin! 

Repent With Humility! 

Trust The Lord ... And Obey

And 

Work The Gift ... Your Gift ... Of Faith 

Moment By Moment, Day By Day! 

Dear Ones, 

Our Great God Does Not Indulge Malice 

Because 

It Is A Satanic Construct 

But

The Withdrawal Of His Mercy To The Unrepentant 

Is 

At Their Request 

As They Saw No Reason To Get Their Decimating Sin Off Their Chest 

By Giving It To The Kind King

Jesus Christ The Lord! 

Sin Issues A Paycheck To All Who Do Its Dirty Work 

So If You Do Not Want To Cash The Check

- Non-Returnable After Mercy Takes Her Rest -

Dare, By Prayer And Petition, To Permit The Holy Spirit Of Truth 

In Your Sin-Scarred Heart To Take His Seat! 

Please Be Kind To Yourself

And 

Always To Others 

Because 

At The Funeral Of The Malicious And Unmerciful Unrepentant Ones

There Will Be No Burial And For Sure 

No Live Token-Flowers! 

Be Wise For Your Own Self:

Choose Life In Christ! 

Peace! 

Park Your Faith On First Foremost And Forward!

There Is No Fear In Faith 

And

There Is No Faith In Doubt! 

Beloved, 

We Serve The Holy God

The God Who Sees, Hears, Feels, Cares

And 

Loves Us With The Love That Went To 

And 

Conquered Death 

And 

Is Still Alive And Loving Us

And 

Is Working All Now 

To Save Us Who Are Willing And Eager To Be Saved! 

When Our Eyes Open Each Day

We Are Already Equipped With Faith 

For That Day Alone

To Trust In The Lord Christ Alone

And 

To Live For Him Alone! 

We Do Not Have To Go On A Dangerous Expedition 

To Find Faith To Trust Our God! 

All We Have To Do 

Is 

Decide

Make The Call

And 

Start Walking! 

The Decision To Trust Our Lord Jesus 

Puts The "Amen!" After The Deed To Be Completed 

Before 

It Is Even Started! 

Dear Ones, 

Please Remember That Simple Faith

The Gift Of The Eternal God 

To Finite Man Made In His Image, And After His Likeness

Mooooves Mountains Great, Middling, Or Small

And

Levels The Annoying Molehills 

Sure To Pop Up In Our Daily Lives! 

Please, I Beseech Us All

Reach For The Extended Hand Of Help And Healing 

And

By Your Gift Of Daily Faith Received

Dare To View The Promised Land! 

Almighty God Is Ever Near! 

Please Do Not Allow Anybody 

To Steal Your Joy In Our Christ Jesus: 

Park  Your Faith On First, Foremost And Forward! 

Peace!

Spirit Or Flesh, Liars Lie!

The Devil And His Henchmen ... Both Witting And Deceived

Would Have Us To Believe That We Live In This World Alone 

And

That From Sin, Self, Sorrow, And Shame 

We Will Never Be Free! 

The Devil Is The Liar ... The Father Of Lies

And 

Sin ... With Its Accessories 

Is 

The Condition That Can Only Be Cured By The Kind King

Jesus Christ Our Lord! 

Dear Ones, 

I Beseech Us All:

Do Not Into Doubt, Disbelief, And Deviltry 

Be Deceptively Lured By Satan

The Prince Damned For All Eternity 

And 

Famous For Suffering From A Fatal Case Of "Self And I!" 

Please Be Wise 

And 

Choose To Set Aside Self 

And 

Seriously Seek The Savior! 

Beloved, 

The Walk Of Faith Is Not Easy 

But

The Free Gift Of Faith 

Is 

Freedom To Be Free In 

And

Walk With Jesus Christ 

And

To Walk With Him And Not Be Weary! 

Our Father Is In Heaven 

And 

He Watches Over Me And Thee! 

Wait Upon The Lord 

And 

Humbly, Faithfully, Enduringly Do His Bidding

And 

From Sin's Mastery Be Free! 

Willingly ... Wisely

Give Your Free Will To The Lord Jesus Today! 

Peace!

 

HARD THINGS BREAK: Stubbornness Is Like Idolatry!

 

Today Is The Day 

To Give Solid Thought To Destroying 

Our Stubborn Will 

And 

Giving Our All, Body, Mind, And Spirit 

To Our Lord Jesus Christ! 

Beloved, 

If You Were A Stubborn Child

Or Had, Or Presently Have A Stubborn Child In Your Household

You Would Know That This Blessed Child Would Rather Die 

Before They Would Accept Or Acknowledge Defeat 

For Any Reason! 

They Do Not Fear Parent Or Any Adult Authority Figure

And 

Have Boldly, Proudly, Chosen Death With The Foolish  

Than To Humbly Accept The Living Wisdom Of The Wise-Alive! 

Dear Ones, 

Be Not Proud Like Lucifer-Satan! 

Godly Fear Is A Criterion For All 

Who Will Stand Without Shame Or Terror

In The Presence Of Our Jehovah God! 

We Must Come To The Knowledge That 

It Is Better To Suck Salt With Our Savior 

And

Be Eternally Blessed

Than To Sup Deada Aka Eat Unclean Meat 

With The Boldly Wicked

Those Who Walk Wise In Their Own Blind Eyes! 

Stubbornness Can Be Equated With Idolatry 

Because 

One Is Saying That They Only Answer To Themselves

Hence ... They Are A False God! 

Brethren Beloved,

We Did Not Create Ourselves

Cannot Keep Ourselves Alive

Or Provide Food For Ourselves 

... And ... 

It Is Ordained That 

We Each Must Give Account To Our King Jesus

Almighty God

The Judge Of All Flesh

For Everything That We Do In Our Flesh! 

Almighty God Doesn't Answer To Anyone

Nor Will He Share His Glory With Another! 

Remember That The Humble Bow Now 

And 

The Stubbornly Proud Will Burn Then

In The Day Appointed! 

Hard Things Break 

So Let's Not Be Wrong And Strong 

To Save Face With The Crowd! 

Please Walk Wise With The Meek: 

Fear God! 

Peace!
