VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Make It Plain: Free Gift!?!

The Idea Of A "Free" Gift 

Is 

Something That I Have Always Found Repugnant, Repulsive! 

Isn't A Gift By Its Nature Always Free!?! 

Did I Make A Request For A Gift 

Or Did You Offer It To Me!?! 

Beloved, 

This Troubled Me To No End 

Until The Word Of Almighty God

- The Word Of Saving Truth - 

Made It Plain! 

Why Would The Lord Call His Gifts To Us Free 

As A Clear Mark Of Distinction 

Unless There Were Expensive As In Costly Gifts On Offer 

Outside Of The Realm Of Truth 

Which Would Cost Us Finite Creatures What We Cannot Afford To Pay 

But For Which We Blithely Extend Our Hot Little Hands!?! 

Dear Ones, 

Beware Of And Reject All Gifts 

Which Require You To Pay Shipping And Handling Fees 

As Such "Gifts" Are Sent, Given, Extended To You 

From The Benighted Hand Of The Adversary Of Souls 

Who Seeks To Enrich Himself In His Need To Devour Someone 

By Making You Poor Indeed! 

Remember That The Roaring Lust Of Your Eyes 

Will Never Satisfy Your Raging Need For 

The Savior's Free To All Salvation! 

Jesus Christ On Calvary Bought And Paid

Packed, Shipped

And 

Delivered For Free Aka No Personal Cost To Us

Our Free Gift Of The Trip Home To Glory 

To Our Heavenly Father's House Of Joys Forevermore! 

Please Freely Give Your Whole Heart To The Lord Jesus! 

Receive This Life's Only Free Gifts From Almighty God 

And 

Live Free In Our Only Savior Christ Jesus! 

Peace! 

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: WAS:TE!

 

Waste Is Not A Word That Any Student 

In The School Of Jesus Christ 

Should Toss About Willy Nilly Or Take Lightly! 

Waste Has Eternal Implications! 

Waste Is A Warning! 

For Our Purposes Here

WAS:TE Means 

We Are Students: Test Everything! 

Beloved, 

Be Warned! 

Be Watchful! 

Be Working! 

Be Wise! 

Be Waiting! 

Our Blessed Jesus Asks Us To Test The Spirits 

To Find Out If They Are From The Lord 

By Using The Word Of Truth 

Which Our Unfailing, Always Fulfilling, Filling Word 

From The Eternal God Known Holy, Just, True, Giving, And Forgiving 

Is

Sure To Ascertain! 

Dear Ones, 

We Are Nearing Home! 

Please Let Us Not Fall Short Of The Mark 

At The Border Of The Promised Land 

Because Of 

The Kingly Powers And Known Prophets Of God 

As Represented In The Scripture Of Truth 

By The Likes Of King Balak And Prophet Balaam! 

Every Party Thrown For You Does Not Celebrate You

And

Not Every Prophet Saying "Lord, Lord!" 

Is 

From The Lord Of Life! 

The Lord Of The Dung Flies, Satan The Damned

Has Minions Everywhere! 

Remember, Dear Ones, And Don't Ever Forget That 

We Are Students And Should Test Everything

- Including This Missive - 

Against The Immutable, Infallible Word! 

The Living Word Works! 

Peace! 

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Wanderers Don't Win!

 

I Would Rather Be A Bass Drum For The Army Of The Lord 

Than To Be A Snare Drum Or Pied Piper's Whistle 

For Satan's Damned Army! 

Dear Ones, 

Think, Think, Think! 

Our Adversary, Satan, Would Have Us To Believe That 

We Do Not Need To Conform To The Divine Form Of The Holy One 

Whom You Know That You Have Been Called To 

And 

Are Willingly Choosing To Represent! 

Do You Remember The Old Saw That Says That 

Our Eyes Are Easily Tricked!?! 

Do You Also Remember The Word Of Truth Which Plainly Says 

"Guard Your Heart!?!" 

Do You Also Remember That 

We Need To Meet And Pass The Test For Lust Of The Eyes!?! 

Here It Is! 

Beloved, 

If We Don't Boldly Choose To Follow The Divine Form Of 

Our Creator, Savior, Lord, God, Redeemer, And King

Our Ever-Roving Eyes Will Slide, Wonder, Wander

And 

Ultimately Travel Unimpeded To Every Function, Party, Repast

Or Bacchanal Of Debauchery! 

Beloved, 

The King ... Our Kind King

Is 

Coming Soon

And 

Now Is Not The Time To Have Wandering Eyes

Unpinned Forms

Or Uncommitted True To Christ Attachments! 

To Whom, Through What, Are You Attaching!?! 

Will It Glean For You The Rich Reward Of 

Everlasting Life Through Christ The Lord!?! 

Do A Thorough Think

And 

Have A Telling Talk By Prayer

And 

Put Down Your Tent Pole In The Camp Of The Eternal God! 

Peace! 

Happy Sabbath + Exhortation!

Exhorted! 

          Commanded! 

                       Encouraged!

The Pointy Stick! 

The Hammer! 

The Embrace! 

How Often, Beloved, Have You Read The Bible

Or Heard A Sermon From A Faithful Steward

And 

Felt That The Exhortation Was Nothing More Than A Burden

A Pointy Poking Stick That 

Commanded Your Attention So Roughly That 

It Was As Though It Was Being Hammered Into You 

And 

Pounding Soft And Delicate You Into Mush Or Mash!?! 

How Long Did It Take Before You Realized That 

That Charged Word Known Truthful, Necessary

Was Encouragement, An Embrace, From The Heart Of Our God Eternal 

Who Makes Wrong Things Right

And 

Makes Broken Things Whole

And 

Causes The Dead To Live Again!?! 

What Made The Difference!?! 

Was It When You Realized That 

The Love Of God Was To And For You 

And

For You Made Bitter Herbs Sweet

The Winding Path Straight

The Rough Places Smooth

The Impossible Possible

And 

The Hellish Existence The Road To Glory 

Because 

Jesus Christ's Love To You Was Home Calling You Home!?! 

Dear Ones, 

The Love Of God

- The Sacrificial Love Of The Just One - 

Was Made For All 

And

Whosoever Is Willing To Be Saved Will Reap Its Sweets! 

Will You Accept The Charge That Is From That Account That 

Is 

Always Free And Fully Funded 

By Our Forever Faithful Friend And Forgiving Father!?! 

Listen Again With Love For The Lover Of Your Soul 

And 

Let Him Lovingly Lead You To His Eternal Life! 

The Word Of Life Fashions Us

Feeds Us

And 

Fills Us Up Forever! 

Peace! 

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH + The First Condition Of Deliverance

 

Obedience To God Almighty 

Is 

The First Condition Of Deliverance! 

Human Effort Combined With Divine Power 

Produces The Needed Result! 

No Human Effort, No Divine Power! 

The Lord Will Not Do For Any One Of Us 

What He Has ... In His Wisdom

Given To Us The Power To Do For Ourselves 

... And ... 

Truth Be Told

Whether We Want To Hear It Or Accept It Or Not

Is 

That Almighty God 

In The Person Of Our Lord And Savior Jesus Christ The King 

Ain't Our Ride Or Die

Our Homeboy

Or 'My Dog!' 

Let Us Respect The Power, The Position

And 

The Purity Of Our High Priest 

And 

Recognize How Puny We Are 

And 

How Putridly Perilous Is Our Present Plight 

... And ... 

Give The Great And Glorious God Unfeigned Praise 

And 

Proper Prayers 

Aka Prayers From Your Own Perch

Your Own Known Place Of Need And Perplexity 

And 

Not From Base Greed And Non-Sensical Gumption! 

Obey The Lord Of Life And Live! 

Peace!

Artificial Intelligence Relevance!?!

Artificial Intelligence, Acquired Ignorance

Is 

Costumed Presumptuous Sin Aka One Of Satan's Choicest Weapons 

In His Lost-Cause War Against Jesus Christ The Lord! 

Does Not One's Name Speak To One's Character!?! 

In This Age Of Irreverent Relevance

Let Us Look At The Seated In The Living Room Elephants: 

Please Stop Reinventing Your Morals And Ideals 

To Become One Of The Common Good We Are In This Together Pack 

Because 

Satan The Damned Will Have Your Guts For Garters Aka A Tasty Snack! 

Almighty God Is True 

And 

His Will Is Sovereign 

And 

His Ways Are Good And Perfect! 

Satan Is The Father Of Lies! 

Every Man Is A Liar: 

His Will Is Wayward 

And 

His Ways Are Toward Evil Continually! 

Dear Ones, 

What Has Man Done For You!?! 

What Is Man Doing For You!?! 

What Will Man Do For You!?! 

What Is Man's Can't Lose "Opportunity" For You 

Going To Cost You Now, Today, Or Tomorrow 

If 

You Remain Alive To Talk About It!?! 

Will Our Righteous Redeemer 

And 

Forever Faithful Friend 

Regard It Aka Bless It!?! 

Beloved, 

Jesus Christ Saves! 

Truth Sets Us Free! 

Obedience Pays! 

Endurance For Christ Delivers The Reward! 

May The Living Word Of The Eternal God Be 

And 

Remain Relevant And Necessary In Your Life 

As You Look Forward To 

The Regeneration To Immortality And Incorruptibility: 

It's Personal! 

Our Recreator Is He Who Was Our Creator 

Aka He Who Makes All Things Perfect, And Beautiful, In His Time! 

There Is No Upgrade 

From Perfection Through Jesus Christ Our Lord ... The Life-Giver! 

Peace!

HAPPY SABBATH + Generally Recognized As Safe!?!

 

Here A GRAS, There A GRAS! 

Everywhere A GRAS, GRAS! 

Old Mcdonald Lost His Shirt And His Farm

And 

It's Time That Everybody Knows Why! 

Dearly Beloved, 

We Are Gathered Here Today 

To Consign GRAS To The Underground Staff! 

GRAS Ain't Your Brother Nor Your Sister! 

He Ain't Your Friend Nor Your Family

And 

It's For Certain Sure That He Does Not Have 

Your Best Interests Coddled In The Cockles Of His "Heart!" 

GRAS Has Long Fooled Us All That 

He Is A Blessing 

When In Truth And In Fact 

He Ain't Nothing But A Blight On The Butt Of All Mankind 

From The Cradle To The Grave 

And 

We Are Putting Him In His Grave Today! 

GRAS Aka Generally Recognized As Safe

Makes Things Stronger

Look Whiter, Brighter

Taste Better

And 

Last Longer! 

Think, People

And 

Look At The Detritus Of Your Life 

And 

Recognize How GRAS Wrapped Himself Around 

And 

Jumped Into All That Was Biblically And Historically Known As 

Sin And Darkness And Death 

And 

Made Them Salvation And Light And Life 

And 

We, All, Trusting Man-Science And Guru-Gospel

Because

We Despised Our Peculiarities 

As People Of The Living Book Of Truth Of Jesus Christ

Tried 

To Reinvent Ourselves 

To Be Relevant To The Worldly-Wise 

Who, Unrepentant, Shall Never Reach To Heights Unknown! 

Lord Jesus,

We Repent! 

GRAS, Generally Recognized As Safe You Are Not! 

Dear Lord, 

Please Grant Us Your Grace

To Walk Aright On The Path Of Light 

That Is The Word Of Truth 

Neither Adding Nor Subtracting

To Be Attractive To Those 

Whom You Cannot Approve! 

GRAS, Hell Is Not Too Good For You: 

Burn Well! 

Brethren, 

Be At Peace With Our God, Jesus Christ The Lord, The Almighty: 

He, Alone, Saves! 

Peace! 

HAPPY SABBATH

BLESSINGS AND BOUNTIES!

HAPPY SABBATH + Connectivity Is Key To Relationship!

Relationship Is Key! 

Connectivity Is Key In All Relationships! 

We Have Joints, Muscles, Bones, And Organs

And 

Our Biggest Organ Is Our Skin Which Keeps Everything Held Together 

In What We Shall Here Call A House 

Which Should Be A Home Of Happiness! 

Would You "Unzip" Your Skin 

And 

Let Your Insides Outside 

And 

Still Call Yourself An Intact You

Holy Wholly Undefiled!?! 

Beloved, 

What Is Your Relationship With Our Loving Lord Jesus!?! 

How Is Your Connection With Our Savior Dear!?! 

Are Your Joined With Him In Communion!?! 

Are Your Muscles In His Word Strong ... And Strengthening!?! 

Are Your Bones Holding You Up Straight, And True To Him

As The Enemy Of Souls, Satan The Forever Damned

Is Maliciously - Though Leashed - Cruelly, Buffeting You!?! 

Are Your Organs Optimally Operating

Open To The Holy Spirit's Optimization!?! 

Is Your Heart For Christ Heavenward!?! 

Dear Ones, 

Let Us Not Be Unfaithful So That The Breath Of Life Departs Us 

And 

Our Blood Which Keeps Us Alive 

Is 

Become The Blood Of A Dead Man! 

Jesus Christ Is Life 

Abundant Life

 And

Incorruptible Life

And

Living For, With, In, And Through Christ 

Is 

The Relationship Which Connects Us To Life Everlasting! 

Heaven's Cleaning Service

Operated By The Holy Spirit

And 

"Manned" By The Holy Angels

Is 

24/7 Open For Your Business: 

Use It Today! 

Peace!

 HAPPY SABBATH BLESSINGS

AND

BOUNTIES! 

Folly Ain't Fun: Think On Jesus Christ Who Ever Thinks Of You!

Dead In Sin And Trespasses! 

Too Proud To Change!?! 

What A State Of Affairs! 

You Can't Help Yourself 

But 

You Are Making Sure To Keep The One Who Can Out Of Fix-Me Range! 

Did You Know That A Dove Is Called Silly 

Because 

It Sometimes Flies Without A Cause!?! 

Did You Know That Sinners Don't Know Where They Are Going 

But 

Proudly State That They Are Going There In Style!?! 

Consider That You, And Me Too, Were Once In Hard Bondage In Egypt 

Where Denying Knowledge Of The Holy God 

And 

The Practice Of Idol-Worship Were Considered Big Doings 

And 

The Lord God Almighty Brought You Out By The Power Of His Might 

And 

Called You His People 

And

When You Were Established, Strong And Fat And Happy

You Adopted The Vile Habits Of Your Neighbors 

Which Habits The Lord Condemned! 

When Certain Of Your Wicked And Idolatrous Neighbors 

Sought To Make War With You

Would You Ignore Your Own Known-Holy Loving Faithful God 

And 

Seek "Help" From Your Former Slave-Master, Egypt

Instead Of Swallowing Your Pride

Admitting Your Error

And 

Acknowledging Your Shame

Stop Your Useless Silly-Dove Flights Of Fancy Or Fantasy Flights 

And

With A Broken, Contrite Heart

Humble Yourself And Pray

Confessing And Repenting Of Your Known And Bold Sin!?! 

Beloved, 

Folly Ain't Fun! 

What Tastes Good In The Mouth 

And 

Pleasurably Slides Down The Throat 

Can Be Silk In And Brambles Out

Oil In And Jagged Rocks Out! 

How About Choosing To Give Your Sin And Your Satan To The Savior 

So That Your Only Savior, Jesus Christ The Lord 

May Secure You With His Salvation!?! 

Let Us Choose To Lose Our Useless Pride 

And 

In The Lord Of Life Confide And Abide! 

Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Delight Yourself In The Jesus Christ The Lord !

Lack Of Reverence For Almighty God 

Is 

A Thing With The Worldly-Wise! 

However, As Committed Christians Walking Faithfully And Enduringly 

On The Good King's Plainly Marked Highway

We Should Sincerely Know 

The Best-Held Rules Of The Way Home: 

Do Not Look Into Almighty God's Business With Scornful Eyes! 

Do Not Touch The Word Of God With Presumptuous Hands! 

Do Not Hear The Word Of God With Disbelieving Ears! 

And

Do Not Speak The Name Of God With A Disrespectful Tongue! 

Almighty God Is Holy: 

Fallen Man, Sinful, Is Not! 

We Often Hear The Expression:

"Speech Belongs To God 

And Respect Is Due To A Dog!"

  

Disrespect A Dog And You Will Feel His Wrath: 

A Dog's Year Are Few! 

Almighty God, The Eternal God

Is 

Our Creator, Maintainer,  Sustainer

Savior, Redeemer, Judge, And King: 

Shouldn't We Respect Him Who Can Move Mountains

Make The Sun To Stand Still

And 

Hold The Earth In His Hand 

And Yet 

Live In Our Puny Hearts When Invited!?! 

Presumption Is A Deadly Sin: 

Tread Softly In The Presence Of The Almighty 

Who Reigns And Rules In Zion 

The Beautiful City Of God! 

Beloved, 

With Humility And Awe At His Glory And Power

And 

For His Grace Upon Us

Delight Yourself In The Jesus Christ The Lord 

Who Is Soon To Come Again 

No Matter What The Naysayers Bray! 

Peace! 

HAPPY SABBATH + Let Holy Spirit Rise In You!

 

When Our Blessed Jesus Was Soon To Depart This Earth

He Promised To Send Another Comforter, The Holy Spirit

Whose Person Is Represented By A Dove, Water, Oil, And Fire! 

Beloved, 

The Dove ... The Peace Dove

Points Us To Home! 

Water Is Life 

And 

Where Water Is

We Make Our Home! 

In Our Home

We Being The Salt Of The Earth Take Of 

The Lord's Good Wheat Harvest 

And 

Grind It Into Fine Flour 

To Which We Add Water Of Life 

And 

The Oil Of Gladness 

And 

Make Our Choice Bread 

To Satisfy Our Hunger And Bless Ourselves! 

A Secondary Oil Is Used 

To Power Our Stoves, Ovens, Furnaces 

To Bake Our Bread! 

But

With All Of This Preparation

Without The Fire Of God Which Comes Down From Heaven

We Will Never Have Heat To Bake Our Bread 

Or Warm Our Homes, Our Bodies 

And 

Power Our Lives! 

Dear Ones, 

Think! 

Was It For Nothing That 

Our Lord Jesus Sent And Gave Unto Us His Holy Spirit

His Vicar - Never A Man 

To Be Our Only Comforter!?! 

The Holy Spirit Is Present In Every Facet Of Our Lives 

And 

Is With Each Of Us By Invitation! 

He Is Here For All Mankind 

But 

Lives Within Us, In Intimate Relation

At Our Personal Invitation! 

Would You Quench

Put Out Of Your Life

That Sweet Spirit  Who Is Our Safety, Security, And Salvation

By And Through Whom We Live And Breathe

And 

Have Our Very Being

The One Who Leads, Blesses, Corrects, Comforts

And 

Carries Us In Sickness And In Health

Through Trial And Tribulation

War And Peace

Sorrow And Joy!?! 

The Holy Spirit Is God Almighty: 

Where Is Your Faith

Where Is My Faith

Where Is Our Faith In Our God Today!?! 

Please Despise The Ways Of The Worldly-Wise 

And 

Quench Not The Holy Spirit Of God 

Who Gives Us Jesus' Peace! 

Let The Spirit Of The Lord Rise Up Within You! 

Peace! 

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: The Word Of God Means What It Says!

Mean, Mean, Means, Meaning! 

Mean Was Unkind! 

Mean Told What He Meant 

As In What He Wanted People To Understand That He Had Said! 

Means Had Money To Spend And To Spare 

But 

Like Life, Didn't Do Too Well When It Came Time To Share! 

You Could Ask Meaning About Mean, Mean, And Means

And 

He Could Give You The Studied Word 

Worthwhile To Be Heard! 

Meaning Made Everything Plain 

But 

That Did Not Mean That You Had To Accept What Was Said

And 

That, Dear Ones, Is The Rub! 

We Have The Holy Bible Which Interprets Itself! 

Then, Oh, The Horror Of It All

We Have Ten "Wise" Men 

Who Give Eleven Meanings 

To Almighty God's Inflexible, Infallible, Immutable Word! 

Beloved, 

Let Us Correct Our Errors

And

Unwaveringly Trust The Word Of 

The Word That Works Wonders! 

Jesus Christ The Lord, Our King, Is The Word: 

He Can't Change! 

Shouldn't You!?! 

Peace! 

HAPPY SABBATH + Don't Flame Out Or Rust Out!

Look At Life! 

Flame Up Flamed Out 

And 

Then There Appeared Rust Out And Burn Out! 

There's A Thing! 

You See, Flame-Up Was A Blow-Hard 

And 

An Obnoxious Bottom-Feeder 

Who Knew Everything About Anything And Everybody

And 

He Kept Lists And Posited Himself To Be A God! 

Let's Call Him Gaudy! 

He Was Like That Big Fat Fluffy-Belly 

Supposedly All-Knowing Holiday-Season Elf 

With The Santa-Satan Appellation 

Who Can Hold No Candle For Nor To The Divine One

Jesus Christ The Lord Of Life

And

That Is Why He Spectacularly Did The Flame Out Thing! 

Now, As For Rust-Out

He Had Had A Good Thing Going With The Master-Maker 

Until He Began To Imbibe What He Should Have Anointed Himself With! 

Man-Word O' Praise Went Straight To His Head 

And 

He Began To Believe His Own Self-Paid Advertising Campaign 

Which Consisted Of Pure Hype From The Accuser Of The Brethren! 

Rust Out's Eyes Fixed

His Joints Seized

And 

His Heart Atrophied

And 

His Work For Christ Came To A Grinding

Rusty-Sounding

Ain't Good For Nothing Halt! 

Beloved, 

Know The Truth! 

Pride Is Poor For Patience 

And

Putrid To Peace With The Prince Of Peace

The King Of Love! 

There's A Better Way! 

Dear Ones, 

I Present To You Burn Out

That Stalwart Of The Holy Faith Who Loves His God 

And 

Does Everything By Grace Through Faith 

To Bless His Lord With His Ready And Willing, Able Service 

And 

Not Fuh Nuh Waterproof Sea-Meat 

Aka Fish Aka Feeling I Should Help ... For Personal Profit! 

Burn-Outs Hurt Like H E Two-Sticks 

But

Oh, The Joy Everlasting 

When The Day Of Regeneration Shall Finally Come! 

I Beseech Us All To Please Let The Lord Of Life Alone 

Love, Lift, And Laud You! 

The Lord Is Faithful: 

Humble Yourself! 

Peace!
