Be Mindful To Get Rid Of The Froward Heart!

To Have A Froward Heart 

Is 

To Be Habitually Disposed ... Given Over

To Disobedience And Opposition! 

Beloved, 

Why Would Anybody Calling Themselves 

A Committed To Christ Christian 

Want To Be Labeled An Abomination 

In The Eyes Of Their Maker, God, And King 

When They Know What Opposing Almighty God 

Cost Lucifer And One-Third Of The Heavenly Host 

And

What Disobedience Cost Adam And Eve 

And, By Extension, All Of Mankind!?!

Dear Ones, 

Whether A Rebel With A Cause

Or An Opposer For Opposing's Sake

Or To Avoid Being Called Goody Two Shoes

When We Know Better We Must Avidly Seek To Do Better 

Because 

Dire, Deadly, On Up To Damnable 

Are The Known And Noted Consequences! 

In The Old Days

When One Was Known For Flapping Their Yak 

Without Reason Or Invitation

People Would Call Them A Foreign Radio Station 

For Being Where They Shouldn't Be! 

The Lord Of Life

Personally

Knows All Of His People! 

We Are Of The Household Of Faith

And 

We Should Be Learning ... And Knowing 

How To Comport Ourselves 

As Upright, God-Fearing, Humble

Obedient Children Of The Father! 

Let Us Remember Whose We Are 

And 

Be Mindful To Behave 

As The Name We Bear Commands! 

Be Humble And Holy To Reach Home! 

Delight The Lord! 

Peace! 

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Choose To Eat Grass With The True And Living God!

To Be Wicked

To Do Wickedness

Which Is To Free-Will, Knowingly, Do Evil 

Is 

Abhorrent In The Eyes Of The Holy God 

And

Anyone Who Blithely Says: 

"You Don't Know How Wicked I Can Be!" 

Is 

Boldly Branding And Condemning Themselves 

With Their Own Tongue! 

Beloved, 

Before You Choose To Be Flamboyant 

Indulging In Sin Because You Can

And 

Being Wicked And Acting Like You Are God Almighty 

Because 

You Want What You Want When You Want It

Choose Instead To Eat Grass

With The True And Living God! 

Don't Go Eating Lamb With The Father Of Lies 

Who Would Have You Believe That 

The Lord Of Life Is Loose

Is Not Looking At You

And 

Will Not Call You To Account 

For All That You Do In Your Flesh! 

As Regards The Terrible Ones Who Instill Fear 

And 

Seemingly Live Above Reproach

They And The Wicked Will Meet The Same End 

If

They Don't Confess And Repent Of Their Known Sins! 

Dear Ones, 

I Urge Us All To Never, Ever, Cover-Up, Condone, Or Conspire 

To Be Participant With The Wicked And The Terrible 

Who Would Have Us Believe That 

The Lord Is Just Like Them 

And

Is Blessing Them! 

They Lie: 

Prosperity Does Not Translate Into 

Nor Indicate Heavenly Approval! 

Let's Choose To Do Right 

Because 

It Is Right

Because 

The Lord Requires It

And 

Because We Love Our Savior Dear

And 

Choose His Will To Ever Obey! 

Live To Live Forever! 

Peace! 

HAPPY SABBATH + Reject Evil To Live In The Bright Presence!

We Should Be Very Afraid To Do Anything That 

Even Remotely Has The Aroma, Fragrance, Stench

Or Stink Of Wickedness ... Evil! 

Beloved, 

The Lord God Almighty Does Not Have A Lisp

A Stutter, A Stammer, A Tied Tongue

Nor Is Dumb 

So Let Us Not Play Fast And Loose 

With The Living Word Of Saving Truth 

Which Can Both Shame And Cut Us Apart 

And

Also Liberate And Elevate Us! 

Dear Ones, 

The Lord Is Not A Monster 

But 

Is Master Of All He Surveys

All That He Has Created

So We Should Hear And Heed What He Says 

Because 

He Means It

And Because 

He Loves Us

And Because 

His Holy Love Does Not Hurt Or Cause Sorrow 

And Because 

We Seek To Return His Undying Love 

By Showing Him Our Willing Obedience! 

Almighty God's Laws Are Few 

And 

Eternity Is Long! 

Sin Has A Shelf Life 

But 

Salvation Is Everlasting! 

The King Of Love Is Glorious 

But 

The Usurper, The Wannabe God

Is 

A Base And Bold Fraud! 

Please, I Beseech And Encourage Us All 

To Humble Ourselves Before The Lord 

So That We May Enjoy The Now Unimaginable Blessings 

Reserved For The Pilgrim Band Known Righteous! 

Reject Evil 

And 

Dare To Let The Lord Embrace You With Eternal Love 

To Live In His Bright Presence! 

Pray, Dear Ones! 

Pray ... And Stay Focused On 

The Goodness And Good News Of Our Lord Jesus! 

Peace!

Being With Jesus Christ The Lord ... All The Way ... Every Day!

When We Realize That Our Desire 

Is 

To Be With Our Lord Jesus Christ

We Should, Effectively, Have The Overwhelming Need 

To Change Everything About Our Then Present Lives! 

Beloved, 

When The Leaders Of The Temple 

Had  Conflict With The Disciples

They Observed The Change In Them

And 

Made Note That They Had Been With Jesus  ... The Messiah! 

Judas And The Rich Young Ruler 

Are Two Persons Who Had Been Near To The Lord 

But 

Were Left Unmoved And Unchanged 

Because 

They Wanted Things Changed To Please Them

Including The Lord Jesus! 

Dear Ones, 

The Popular "Fake It Till You Make It!" 

Will Never Work In The Life Of One 

Who Is With Jesus ... All The Way! 

We Will Make Mistakes 

But

We Have An Advocate With Our Father To Intercede For Us 

Because 

He Is For Us! 

Pretending Christians Are Avowed Sinners 

As There Can Be No Fakery In The Family Called Faithful! 

Pretense, Fakery, Deceit, And Deviltry 

Are All In The Realm Of Satan! 

Truth, Right,  Holiness, And Helpfulness 

Are In The Realm Of The Holy One! 

We Don't Change Dirty Clothing, Sin

By Putting Clean Clothing, Salvation, Over The Dirty! 

We Change By Getting Rid Of The Dirty Clothing

Washing Ourselves In The Word Of Truth

And 

Donning The Garment Of Righteousness 

Which The Lord Himself Provides! 

Let Us Dare And Truly Identify With Christ Today 

In Thought, Word, And Deed: 

Physical Change Is Going To Come ... Soon! 

Peace!

Cut Off My Nose!?!

Take A Good Long Look In Your Mirror! 

Don't You Just "Hate" Your Nose!?! 

Would You Simply Cut Off Your Nose To Spite Your Own Face 

When You Know Of A Surety That 

Doing So Will Do You More Harm 

Than Keeping Your "Hated" But Needed Nose!?!  

Beloved, 

Think Before You Act! 

Thinking To Hurt Anyone 

Is 

Like Thinking To Cut Off Your Own Nose!  

Think Before You Overreact! 

Think Of The Mental/Emotional, Physical, And Spiritual Pain 

And 

Think Before You Do Something To Spite Someone

Or To Take Revenge Against Someone

Whom You Believe Has Done Something To You

Real Or Imaginary! 

Dear Ones, 

Have You Not Seen

Have You Not Heard That 

Vengeance Belongs To The Lord God Almighty

And 

It Is He, Alone, Who Will Repay All Debts Owed!?! 

We Need To Grow Up As Christians 

If It Is Our Heart's Desire To See Jesus Christ The Lord

The King

The Judge Of All Flesh

In Perfect Peace! 

Let's Never Again Denigrate And Disfigure Ourselves 

In The Vain Hope Of Destroying A Life 

- For Which Jesus Christ Died - 

That We Can Neither Give Back Or Repair! 

Remember ... 

When Digging Graves For Others

We Also Dig One For Ourselves! 

Take The High Road To Christ's Surpassing Glory! 

Keep Your Nose! 

Peace!

Promised To No Man!

Beloved, 

We Always Have Choices 

But Chances ... Not So Much! 

We Have The Choice To Make Today: 

Live In Love And Light With The Lord Of Life 

Or

Land In The Lake Of Fire 

Through Lust With The Lord Of Lies! 

As Regards The Chance To Make Our Choice ... Tomorrow

That Day Is Indelibly Stamped: 

"Promised To No Man!"

Oh, What A Horror! 

In The Olde Days

When Some Young Village Ram 

Was Prancing Around And Doing The Dog

And 

Some Elder Would Call Him Out About His Behavior 

And Ask When He Was Going To Change 

Or Give His Life To The Lord

The Patented Response Was Invariably: 

"Tomorrow!" 

Which, Inevitably, Never Came 

Because 

The Grim Reaper Came First! 

Remember, Dear Ones, 

We Can't Buy Life 

And 

We Can Neither Stop Nor Sell Death! 

We Were Constantly Cautioned: 

"What You Can Do Today, Do Today!" 

Or Put Another Way

"Never Put Off For Tomorrow 

What You Can Do Today 

Because Tomorrow's Sun Never Rises!" 

This Is Sound Bible Teaching Worthy To Be Accepted 

And 

Acted Upon 

No Matter What The Naysayers Bray! 

The Night Is Coming When No Man Can Work 

So Let Us Permit The Holy Spirit 

To Do A Good Work In Us Today! 

Let's Lean On The Lord 

And 

Learn The Word 

Which Reveals The Thoughts And Intents Of Our Hearts 

And

Is Able To Cut Out The Unprofitable 

Because 

It Is Sharper Than Any Two-Edged Sword! 

Live Today ... Today! 

Peace!

Remember The Price Paid For Our Peace!

Brethren, 

Be Wise Enough To Care About Others

And 

Care Enough About Others To Care About Yourself 

And 

Your Relationship To And With The Holy God 

In The Person Of Jesus Christ The Lord Of Life! 

Dear Ones, 

We Are Reliably Informed By The Scripture Of Truth That 

After Jesus Christ Died To Save Us

And 

Ascended To The Father

He Took Captivity Captive

And 

Gave Gifts Unto Men! 

Jesus Took Away Sin's Power To Bind Us Up In Its Thrall 

And 

Gave Us The Power

The Strength

The Gift ... That Unmerited Favor

To Call Upon Saving Grace 

To Obtain Free Mercy And Grace To Help Us 

In Our Time Of Need 

Which Is Every Moment Of Every Day Of Our Lives! 

Dear Ones, 

Never Doubt Pride's Power To Cause Your Downfall 

And

Never Doubt Humility's Ability 

To Lift You Up To The King Of Glory! 

Humility Is A Gift Of God 

And So, Too

Is The Ability To Approach The Throne Of Grace 

To Pray In Faith For Help And Healing With Hope! 

Brethren, Beloved

Please Never Forget The Price Paid 

For Us To Receive The Promise Of Peace With Almighty God 

And

Everlasting Life In The Paradise Of God! 

Trust The Word! 

Pray, Care ... And Press On! 

Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Please Emulate The Master!

Glamorous Christian And Humble Christian 

Live In, Share, The Same House! 

When You See Glamorous Christian

Envy Rises In Your Poor Heart 

And 

You Say: 

"Wow! They Living Large!" 

When You See Humble Christian

You Say With Native Pride: 

"That Poor Soul! 

Thank You, God, For Your Blessing On Me! 

I Know How To Strive!" 

To You, I Say: 

Think Again! 

"You Talking Real Rubbish! 

The Lord Desires All Of His People 

To Be Prosperous-Looking, Rich

As Befitting Those Who Are The Recipients Of 

His Love And Grace!" 

To You, My Misguided Friend, I Say: 

Wheel ... And Come Again! 

The Lord, Himself, Said: 

"It Is Easier For A Camel To Get Through The Eye Of A Needle 

Than For A Rich Man To Enter The Kingdom Of Heaven!" 

"The Poor Will Be With You Always!" 

And 

"The Meek Shall Inherit The Earth!" 

Beloved, 

Self Is A Pride-Filled Sinner! 

Proud People Love Display 

And 

They Find It Hard To Give To Those 

Who Cannot The Debt Repay! 

Which Glamorous Christian Do You Personally Know That 

Has A Heart For God 

And

Is Willing To Dirty Clothing, Head, Hands, And Feet 

To Condescend ... As Our Lord Christ Did

To Wash Another's Stinky Feet!?! 

Service For The Lord Does Not Consist Of Pontificating

Sermonizing, Voguing, Closet Organizing

Philosophizing

Or Jewelry, Dress, Shoe, And Big Hat Sizing! 

By Contrast, I Present To You Humble Christian

A Sinner Known Confessing

Repentant

Seeing His Need For His Savior Dear

And 

Determinedly Striving For The Lord's Glory

And 

Petitioning His Maker To Help Him To Get There! 

He Prays! 

He Pleads! 

He Helps Others! 

He Plants Good Seed

He Walks And He Talks With All And Sundry

And 

He Has No Problem Doing Another Person's Foul Laundry! 

He Visits The Sick, The Good, The Bad, The Ugly

And 

He Has No Fear Of "What If!?!" 

Because 

He Serves His Dear Lord Willingly, Patiently, Gladly! 

Glad Rags Are One Thing 

But 

Glamorous And Glitzy Belong In The Trade Mags

And 

All Who Want To See The Lord ... In Peace

Must Their Hold On This Dying World Decidedly Release! 

Humility Is A Virtue: 

Pride Is Not! 

Look At Old Satan And See For Yourself That 

A Resident Of Holy Heaven He Most Assuredly Is Not! 

Please Do Not Get Me Wrong 

For There Are Those Who Carry Humility Too Far 

Which Then Becomes A Thing Of Pride: 

These Also Shall Not In Heaven Abide! 

Please Emulate The Master 

And

Be Grateful For What You've Got! 

Do Not Expend Your Blessings On Excess 

But 

On Being Faithful, Obedient, And Enduring 

So That You Shall Surely Become A Spiritual Success! 

Boast About Jesus  Christ The Lord! 

Peace! 

Do You Smell That!?!

 

Do You Smell That!?! 

I Cannot Understand 

Why People Who Do  Little To Nothing For Anyone 

Boldly Expect A Lot To Be Done For Them 

By Others Whom They Hold With Scant Respect! 

Beloved, 

I Sincerely Pray That 

None Of Us Walks Around Polluting The Atmosphere 

With The Stench Of That Aromatic Called 

Air Of Entitlement 

And

If We Do

I Again Sincerely Pray That 

We Will Rid Ourselves Of It 

As We Would Get Rid Of The Stink Sprayed By A Skunk! 

Dear Ones, 

The Lord Jesus Has Provided Innumerable Gifts To Us 

With The Prime One Being The Gift Of Salvation! 

Let Us By Grace Recognize And Accept That 

The Gift Is Given 

But

We Must "Dirty" Our Hands To Open, Appreciate

And 

Lovingly, Daringly, Gratefully Utilize It! 

Again, I Sincerely Pray For Us All That 

We Will Not Be So Drunk As To Believe That 

We May Accept The Savior's Unspeakable Gift

Live Like Pigs In Slop

And Then On Judgment Day 

"Accuse And Castigate" The Lord Christ 

For Not Letting Us Into Heaven 

When He Had The Moral Duty To Do For Us 

What He Had Given Us 

The Strength And Wherewithal To Do For Ourselves 

With His Blessing Of Grace And Mercy 

Which Gave Us Place, Position, Provision, And Protection! 

We Are Definitely Entitled To Destruction, Death, And Damnation 

So The Attitude Of Gratitude Adjustment 

Is 

Decidedly In Order! 

Don't Let The Devil Turn You Around!

Peace!

Let's Get Rid Of Our Toss And Buy-Back Way Of Life!

We Are Broke ... And Broken

And Yet 

We Live In A Discard And Replace Society! 

Our Father, Almighty God

In The Person Of Jesus Christ The Lord

The King

Creator Of Everything, Is Not Broke 

But 

Operates A Repair And Regenerate Plant! 

Why The Discrepancy!?! 

Dear Ones, 

Our God Is The God Of Order Who Knows Everything 

Including The End From The Beginning

Sees Everything Including Seeing Us Better Than We See Ourselves

Knows Who We Can Become If We Accept His Help

And 

Is Always Present 

Which Means That He Is Available To Hear Our Faintest Cry 

And

Answer Our Prayers Of Faith For Help And Healing! 

Beloved, 

Our God Doesn't Count The Heads Of Cattle That He Owns: 

He Counts The Number Of Hills Upon Which His Cattle Reside! 

He Knows Us Each By Name And By Nature 

And

He Counts The Number Of Hairs On Our Head! 

He Knows Every Mistake That We Will Make 

And

He Has One Thousand Ways To Save Us! 

Think! 

We Are In Good Hands 

With The Lord Of Love, Life, And Light! 

Let's Get Rid Of Our Toss And Buy-Back Way Of Life 

And

Start Using The Lord's "Set Aside Sin And Pray To Be Saved Plan" 

Which Permits Us To Use His "My Life For Yours" Eternal Profit Account 

Which Has No Limit! 

We Can't Fool The Lord! 

He Will Work With ... And On Us 

If

We Will Unashamedly Cooperate With 

And

Stand Our Ground By His Riven Side! 

Please Believe The Truth That Saves

Do Right

And

Live Eternally!

Peace!

Prayer For Blessings!

PRAYER:

Father, 

I Bless Your Holy Name In The Matchless Name Of 

Your Only Begotten Son

My Savior And King, Jesus Christ The Lord! 

By Your Holy Hand

I Have Blessings Innumerable, Immeasurable, And Infinite

Because

I Can't Count Them

I Can't Measure Them

And

It Is For Certain Sure That 

I Will Never Live Long Enough To See The Verified End Of 

All That You Have In Mind And In Store For Me 

As Long As I Remain True And Faithful And Obedient

Which Is My Heart's Abiding Desire! 

I Beseech You For That One Blessing

Which Will Give Me Strength

To Endure All Things For My Jesus

And

Against That Devil, Satan, Known Damned

And

Assuredly Bound For Hell!

I Give You Praise Because You Are Worthy To Be Praised

And

I Bow In Worship

Because

You Are God Almighty, Wise, Alive, Giving, And Forgiving!

Please Bless Me Also To Accept Your Gentle Corrections

Because

They Are For My Eternal Good! 

Please Help Me Not To Tempt You

By Being Presumptuous And Doing Wrong

And

Using Your Holy Name As Cover! 

Please Help Me To Bend Myself To Your Will

So That The Day Will Never ComeWhere I Will Be Broken

And

Cast Out Of Your Glorious Presence! 

In Faith, I Humble Myself Before You

And

Accept Your Gift Of Grace

Through Which I Will Arrive Safely At The Heavenly Home! 

In Jesus' Name, I Pray And Plead:

Please Hold My Hand!

I Love You!

AMEN!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: All The Way With Jesus!

Beloved, 

Please Tread Softly In The Presence Of The Lord! 

Disobedience Is Not Just About Our Disregarding Authority

Rules And Regulations

Or About Provoking Wrath! 

Disobedience Is Also About Our Attitude And Conduct

And 

Our Belief In Or Regard For The One Whose Rules 

We Are Choosing To Ignore, Breach, And Disrespect! 

Laws And Directions Are Not Put In Place 

To Make Us Miserable! 

They're There 

Because 

Someone Cares About Us And Our Well-Being

And 

Desires To See Us Safely Prosper! 

Let's Consider What We "Gain" When We Get Caught 

And 

Are Caused To Bear The Known Consequences 

For Our Willful Disobedience: 

Shame, Pain, Expense

Public Ridicule

Regret, Misery

And Then 

Punishment! 

Disobedience, Just Like Doubt

Is 

Generated In The Mind Propelled 

By The Unbelieving, Unfaithful Heart That 

Pleases The Likes Of Proud, Lying, Murdering Satan! 

Lying To Oneself 

Is 

The Mark Of Pride 

Which Is The Feather In The Cap Of Disobedience 

Which Dances With Death! 

Dear Ones, 

Death By Disobedience 

Is 

The Murdering Of Hope 

And

Denies The Purchase Of God A Future ... With The Expected End 

As Promised By The Law-Giver, Our Lord Jesus Christ! 

Our Published Future 

Is 

Heaven At The Last Trumpet

Plus A New Name, Immortality, Incorruptibility

The White Robe Of Christ's Righteousness

A Gold Harp

A Starry Crown

And 

A Personal Place In The Father's House! 

Our Expected End 

Is 

The Eternity Of Peace With Jesus! 

The Price For Disobedience 

Is 

A No-Return Place 

In The  Lake Burning With Fire And Brimstone 

As Prepared For Satan And His Angels! 

Do Not Your Own Soul Cheat! 

Disobedience Is Optional 

But 

Judgment Is A Given!

Peace! 

HAPPY SABBATH: Follow The Lord Without Regret!

When Are We Going To Realize That 

Earthly Power Has No Power 

With Jesus Christ The Lord, The King!?! 

When Are We Going To Accept That 

Earthly Titles Cause No Wrinkle To Form In Almighty God's Will!?! 

When Are We Going To Come To Terms With The Fact That 

Only Man's Willing Obedience 

To The Will And The Ways Of The Eternal God 

Has Any Currency In The Sight Of 

The All-Knowing, All-Seeing, Ever-Present God 

Who Inhabits Glory 

And

Rules Over All Of His Creation!?! 

Beloved, 

Let Us All Be Wise To Recognize That 

No Created Being Can Alter The Plans Of The Living God 

Nor Set Aside His Sovereign Will! 

Dear Ones, 

Burdens Are Lifted At Calvary ... By Faith! 

Faith Can Move Mountains! 

Doubt Will Decimate The Strongest, Best Outfitted

And 

Most Obscenely Funded Army! 

... And ... 

The Enduringly Faithful One Claims The Eternal Prize! 

When Will We Realize That 

Wisdom Without Understanding To Use Knowledge 

Will Make For A Very Poor House, Family, Business, And Kingdom!?! 

We Are Instructed To Taste And See That The Lord Is Good 

So Surely We Should Know By Now That 

Looking At Food Does Not Fill Our Stomachs

Nourish Our Bodies

Or Strengthen Us To Be Overcomers: 

The Lord Is Food Indeed And Drink Indeed! 

Let's Do Ourselves A Solid This Very Moment 

And 

Just Do As The Lord Asks, Commands, Pleads

And 

Encourages Us To Live! 

Almighty God's Great Grace Is Sufficient For You

And 

Me Too! 

Peace!
