VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Shhhhh! "E" Words Inside!

 









Who Are You!?! 
Enlightened Or Entitled!?! 
Confessor Or Possessor Of Truth!?! 

A Christian Committed To Jesus Christ The King 
Will Never, Ever, Possess The Spirit Of Entitlement! 

Every Gift Of God 
Is 
Free From Him To Us 
By Our Free-Will Acceptance 
So There Is No Place Or Call For Entitlement! 

Possessors Of Truth By Working Faith Will Confess 
But 
It Is A Rare Thing To See Professors Of Truth 
Being Humble Enough To Confess That 
They Are Children Of The Great King 
Willing To Stand Up In The Light Of Life 
No Matter The Rabid Opposition Which They Will Undoubtedly Face! 

The Heart Enlightened By The Truth 
Is 
Enlivened By The Holy Spirit - Who Leads Into All Truth - 
And 
Is Lively To Tell The Good News Of Almighty God's Great Grace That 
Leads To His Surpassing Glory! 

Unregenerate-Self Is Dissolved 
And 
The Saint, Being Daily Sanctified, Walks Humbly Before His God 
And
With Enduring Faith
Presses On The Upward Way 
To Reach The Home Of The Forever Blessed! 

Entitled Self Is A Sure Sinner! 
The Humble Saint Is For Christ The King! 

Please Learn The Clear Difference 
And 
Choose The One Which Will Surely Help You 
To Walk Through Your Designated Pearl Gate 
And 
Into That Glorious City Which Has No Night There! 

Be Wise For Your Own Being-Regenerated-By-Christ Self! 

Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Placing Confidence ...!?!

 













Important People Called Wise Would Have Us To Believe That 
Having Confidence In Them Is Better 
Than Having Confidence In The Lord Christ! 

Now, There's A Thing! 

Preachers Teaching Another Jesus From Another "Bible" 
Desire That We Place Confidence In Them 
Because 
They Studied Long And Hard, And Write A Lot
And 
Being Upper-Class Men
They Have Got The Facts And The "We Know It!" Card! 

Brethren, 

The Scribes, The Pharisees, And The Sadducees
The Lawyers And The Doctors Of Jesus' Day 
Knew Everything
Knew Nothing
Demanded Confidence In Themselves
And 
Sold The People Out To Sin And Satan! 

Have We Learnt Anything Yet!?! 

Beloved, 

Be Wise! 

Now Is Not The Time To Have Confidence In Any Created Being 
If You Want To Meet Jesus Christ In Peace ... Perfect Peace! 

We Cannot Have Confidence In Blood, Bonds, Or Beauty
So, Therefore, We Must Repose Our Confidence In Him Who Is Not A Man
In Him Who Cannot Lie
In Him Who Has Already Cold-Death Defied
In Him Whose Throne Is On High 
And 
From Whence He Hears Our Heartfelt Prayers And Plaintive Cries! 

Not Convinced!?! 

Ask A Deceitful Human To Get You Up 
If 
The Lord Has Bade You To Be Still! 

Beloved, 

Keep Your Trust In And Your Secrets With The King Of Glory! 

Be Absolutely Confident In Our Lord Christ! 

Peace!

Vespers At The End Of The Sabbath: Give "It" A Name!

 









Mark The Word: 


Without The Law
There Can Be No Sin!
 

Beloved, 

Think On This Thing:



In Order For A Problem To Be Fixed
It Must Have A Name! 


In The Normal Run Of Things
Someone Must Bear Responsibility For Having The Problem
Causing The Problem
Or Fixing The Problem! 

And

Problems Only Get Fixed 
When Blame And Shame Fall Upon Someone's Shoulders! 

Dear Ones, 

In The Realm Of Unnamed Problems
Nameless Is Blameless And, Therefore, Shameless 
As In Having No Need To Bow The Head Or The Knee! 

Brethren Beloved, 

We Who Diligently And Lovingly
Faithfully And Enduringly Serve The Lord Jesus Christ
Please Let Us Not Walk In The Vaunted Wisdom Of The Worldly-Wise 
Which Is As Foolishness In The Eyes Of The Only Wise God 
Who Reigns And Rules In The Orderly And Eternal Glorious Kingdom! 

Let Us Choose
- By Grace Through Faith That Works By Love 
And 
Purifies The Soul - 
To Identify The Problem Areas In Our Lives 
By The Infallible Word
And 
With Shame-Facedness 
Boldly Carry Them To The Throne Of Grace 
To Him, Innocent, Who Took The Blame For Us 
So That We, In Brokenness And Contrition, Could Walk Free! 

Let Us Let Our Jesus Place Our Problems Aka Our Sins 
Upon That Scape-Goat Satan 
Which Is Where They Belong 
Because Of 
Our Humble Confession, For Love Of Jesus
And 
Heart-Felt Repentance, For Life With Christ! 

Names Have Meaning! 

Remember That Anything That Does Not Bless Curses 
And
Anything That Does Not Save Destroys! 

Please Let Your Strong Desire Be For The Lord! 
Jesus Christ Saves! 

Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: PRAYER For Help!











PRAYER:



Oh, Heavenly Father, 
Please Have Mercy On Us Who Are Distressed
Walking In Darkness, Deceived
Doubting The Deliverance Paid For And Promised 
And Provided To Whosoever Sees Their Need
And Is Willing To Reach For The Extended Hand Of Him
Who Is Our Hope, Bringing Help And Healing
And Is The One Door To The Heavenly Home! 

Please Help Us To Not Yield To The Taunts And Temptations Of 
The Naysayers, The Scorners, The Liars
The Licentious, The Proud, The Perverse
And The Affluent And Boldly Willing Sinners 
Who Are Unafraid And Unashamed
And Are Vociferously Calling Others 
To Follow Them To Satan's Planned And Man-Purveyed Ruin! 

Please Unstop Our Ears So That We May Truly Hear Your Truth! 

Please Apply The Heavenly Eye-Salve
So That Our Eyes May Be Healed 
And We Will Truly See The Light Which Leads To Everlasting Life! 

Oh, That A Coal From The Altar In Heaven May Be Applied To Our Lips 
So That We May Be Cleansed Of Our Iniquities
And Purged Of Our Sin! 

Oh, Father, 
Let It Be That We, Willing To Be Saved, Will Say: 
"Without Our Lord Jesus, We Cannot Do Anything!" 
And, In Faith, Nothing Wavering
Commit To Our Lord
And To Taking The Way Of The Cross Which Leads Home! 

Hear Our Earnest Prayer 
And Answer Us According To Your Will 
And In Your Way 
For We Ask These Blessings In Jesus Christ's Holy Name! 
AMEN!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Are You Almighty God!?!

















We Have All Heard The Statement Dramatically And Emphatically Uttered: 

"I'll Never Forgive Myself!" 

It's A Loaded, Powerful, Fizzy-Pop Lie From An Over-Wrought Heart 
Unless You're Putty In Satan's Grimy Hands 
And Then
It's An Even Bigger Lie 
Designed And Delivered To Deliberately Destroy 
The Precious Souls For Whom Jesus Christ The Redeemer
In Amazing Love, Once For All, Died! 

Beloved, 

Are You Almighty God!?! 

When Jesus Christ Purchased Our Forgiveness 
With His Precious Known-Innocent Blood At Calvary
It Was Mighty To Save Us All Who Believed! 

If You Refuse To Believe The Word 
And 
Reject The Blessed Forgiveness
You Have Become Your Own God Aka You Are "God" ... A Lie
You Are A Liar
And 
An Idolater
A Friend Of Satan
An Enemy Of The True And Living God
And
Have Booked A Berth For The Second Resurrection 
Where Regret Is The Tune Of The Trip! 

Brethren, 

We Are Required To Give Account For Our Lawless Words 
So, Please, I Beseech Us All
Do Not Dance With The Damned Devil

And

Do Not Offend
Do Not Crucify Afresh
Jesus Christ The King
Our Lord And Our God Never A Fraud! 

Who Jesus Christ Frees 
Is 
Free Indeed! 

Peace! 












Saturday, August 19, 2023

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Nobody Has To Sin!

 











Jesus Saves Us From The Penalty Of Sin Aka Justification 
And
He Saves Us From The Power Of Sin Aka Sanctification! 

Our Greatest Enemy 
Is 
The One From Within! 

Think About It! 

We Love To Say That Somebody Is Pushing Our Buttons 
So We Are Free To Respond However We Personally Choose! 

If That's Your Story, Stick To It 
Or
Follow The Savior And Choose To Overcome Evil With Good! 

Beloved, 

Textbook Abusers ... Like Satan Their Master
Love To Lash Out And Say That You Made Them Do Whatever! 

Hold Up! 

Consider That We Who Are On The Receiving End Of Their Vitriol 
Will Respond And Say That They Made Us Respond 
However, Whenever, Wherever, Because! 

Consider This! 
When People Know What Triggers Your Behavior
They Will Load Your Weapon For You 
And 
Entice, "Force," Or Bedevil You To Pull The Trigger! 

Dear Ones, 

We Who Chose - And Every Day Choose - Jesus Christ 
As Our Everlasting Portion
Think Salvation 
And
Choose Life! 

Let Us Choose To Disappoint The Evil-Doers 
And 
Deliberately Walk On The Rocky Road 
Aka The Strait And Always Narrow Way! 

Life Is Tough ... When We Follow Our Jesus By Faith
But
We Are Not Alone! 

We Overcome By The Blood Of The Lamb 
And
The Unfailing "It Is Written!" 

The Word Of The Lord 
Is 
A Sharp Sword And A Comfortable Bed 
And
It Is Either Or Or Both 
At One And The Same Time! 

We Have Choice: 
Look In Or Look Up! 

What Is Your Decision!?! 
Sin For Short-Term Satisfaction 
Or Salvation By Grace Through Faith For Everlasting Life!?! 

Our Lord And Savior Jesus Unfailingly Saves The Willing! 
Save Yourself By Letting The Savior Save You! 

Peace! 











Saturday, August 12, 2023

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Relevant In An Irreverent World! Really!?!

 













No Christian Can Possibly Be Relevant In An Irreverent World! 

No Christian Can Remain Godly By Partaking Of 
The Ungodly Activities Of Those Who Ignore   
And 
Forsake  The God Of Grace Who Inhabits Glory! 

Beloved, 

Is It Possible to Straddle A Fence 
And 
Still Walk Firmly, Steadily, Confidently On Both Sides!?!  ... To Glory!?! 

Dear Ones, 

Playing Fast And Loose With Salvation 
Is 
To Belly Up To The Trough 
To Eat Blow-Pork! 

Do You Want To Die!?! 
Don't You Want To Live!?! 

Growing Up, We Were Oft' Told The Old Story Of 
A Man Who Didn't Eat Known-Unclean Pork 
But 
Smelt It, Saw It, And Wanted It 
That Was On That Table "Real Bad!" 

His Solution Was To Say His Prayers 
And 
"Christen" That Pork 
And 
Call It Beef! 

What Changed!?! 
What Remained The Same!?! 
Who Changed!?! 
Were The Facts Changed!?! 
Did Truth Become A Lie!?! 
Did Desire Change Reality!?! 

Please Remember This, Dear Ones,

Turning A Deck Of Cards Upside Down
Bottom To Top
And 
Sideways
Does Not Change It To Something Different! 
It Will Remain A Deck Of Cards! 

The Word Of God Is Fixed ... 

This World Is Dying: 
Jesus Christ Is Life! 

Choose Wisely! 

Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: The Choice Morsel!

 









Simply Put, Psalm 119 Verse 112
In King David's Own Words, Is 
"I Have Decided To Obey Your Laws Until The Day I Die!" 

Beloved, 

If We Remember The Words Of Prophet Samuel 
To The Disobedient King Saul
We Hear The Plain Talk: 
"To Obey Is Better Than To Sacrifice!" 

Obedience Is The Hallmark Of The Christian Experience! 

The Law Of The Lord Is Perfect 
So There Is No Need To Fear 
When We Do All That The Lord Asks Of Us! 

Dear Ones, 

Having A Life In And With Our Lord Jesus Christ 
Is 
Our Personal, Uncoerced, Unforced
Unenticed, Free-Will Decision! 

And Then

There Is The Biggie Aka "Until The Day ... I Die!" 

Your Clock, My Clock, Stops At The Moment Of Death! 

The Record Book In Heaven "Slams" Closed 
In The Day Of Your Death! 

Nothing Can Be Added By You 
And 
Nothing Can Be Erased By The Lord 
After You Close Your Eyes In Death! 

Beloved, 

Psalm 119 Verse 112 Is The Covenant Of A Person 
After The Eternal God's Own Heart
A Man Convicted Of Sin 
And 
Convinced Of Righteousness 
Who Is Determined To Meet His Lord And His King In Perfect Peace 
No Matter Who Or What
When Or Where
Why Or How The Vagaries Of Life Try To Have Him Change Course 
From The Plain: 



"Thus Saith The Lord!" 


Dear Ones, 

Please Never Forget That 
What You See, Hear, And Feel Are Natural Liars! 

If These Three Regular Employees Of Satan 
Cannot Stand Up To A Clear: 
"Thus Saith The Lord!" 
Please, I Beseech Us All, Have Them Act Like 
The Dishonorable Priest And The Indifferent Levite
- Who Both Lacked Charity Aka Love -
And 
Pass You By On The Other Side Of The Dusty Road! 

The Lord Is Always Near 
So Stand Like The Brave 
And 
Be Very Courageous! 

You Are Not Alone: 
The Lord Jesus Will Never Forget One Of His Own! 

Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Second Spring!?!

 









Surprise And Shock! 

The "Strange" Variableness Of The Weather Has Permitted Us To See Something Stunning: 
The Spring Bloom Bloomed In Spring 
And
The Trees Blossomed And Budded And Bloomed All Over Again 
In July ... In Summer-Time! 

The Trees Are Absolutely Gorgeous! 

In The Old Days
When A Family Had Already Raised Their Children To Adulthood 
And 
The Wife Found Herself In The Family-Way
People Talked About The Second Spring! 
It Was Amazing! 

Beloved, 

Let Us Think About This And Grow Rich 
In, By, And Through The Saving Grace Of Our Blessed Jesus! 

We, Believing, Connected, Grounded
Enduring, Trusting, And Faithful 
Shall See And Be Participant In The Second Spring
The Renewal
The Redemption Of Our Vile Bodies 
To Be Renewed To Edenic Splendor 
With A Glow-Up Grow-Up To Immortality And Incorruptibility! 

We Shall Be Like Our One Benefactor 
And
We Shall Be Like Him 
Because 
We Shall See Him As He Is! 

Dear Ones, 

Please Let Us Not Become Complacent 
With Our Dearly Purchased Salvation! 

Let Us Remember That Spring-Time Is Renewal 
And 
The Marker For New Life! 

Our New Life Is In And Of Jesus Christ! 

Catch The Vision! 
Toe The Line! 
Hold The Fort
And 
Ride The Gospel Train To Glory! 

Grow Where You Are Planted, God's People! 
Grow! 

Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Fencing With The Lord!?!

 









Are We Laboring Under The Misguided Notion 
As Proffered By The Blind Guides 
Which Says That 
It Is Better To Ask For Forgiveness 
Than To Ask For Permission 
To Live Our Lives How We, Like Roving Slugs, "Authentically" Feel!?! 

Ask Jonah, King Saul, Balaam, Korah, The Denizens Of Sodom And Gomorrah
And 
Disciple Judas Iscariot
How That Worked Out For Them! 

Beloved, 

This Authentic Living Idea-Ideal 
Is 
One Of  The Most Poisonous Pills As Panacea That 
Satan The Damned Is Selling 
To The Sold Out To Sin Segment Of Society! 

Do Not Be Fooled ... 

Almighty God Is Not Mocked! 

Dear Ones, 

The Only Authentic Life
 Is
 The Life Lived In And For Jesus Christ The Lord! 

The Child Of God Will Know The Law Of God 
And 
Will Seek After The Will Of God For His Or Her Life 
By Mining The Word Aka The Preserved For Posterity Word Of 
The Lord Who Cannot Lie! 

Remember Achan! 

The Lord Means What He Says! 

Remember Ichabod Aka The Glory Has Departed 
When Presumptuous Sin Causes You, Me, Us
To Turn An Unanticipated Sharp Left Into The Land Of Regret 
Because 
We Unwisely Chose To Pursue A Lie 
To Appease Our Fleshly Desires! 

Remember That The Lord Will Never Chastise A Child 
For Asking For The Wisdom That The Lord Has Asked Said Child 
To Request Of Him Who Lives In Heaven! 

Committed-To-Christ Christians 
Do Not Wear Clown Shoes! 

Look Up To Jesus: 
You Are Greatly Loved! 

Peace!

Don't Curse Your Blessings!

KJV John 6:63
63 It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.


Our Flesh Can Read, Reason
Resist The Devil
And 
Without Rhyme Or Reason
Against Its Own Maker Commit The Vilest Treason! 

Our Flesh Cannot Itself Profit 
And
May Against The Same Curse
But 
No Matter How Rich Or Rotund It Is
It Cannot Almighty God's Curse Of Human-Kind Ever Reverse! 

We Were Made In The Image Of God
And 
By Design Are Made A Little Lower Than The Angels
Of Which Kind There Now Be Two! 

One Kind Called One-Third Unholy Fallen 
Is 
Looking Our Lives To Destroy
And 
The Two-Thirds 
Is 
Holy, Wholly Obedient
Working To Help Us To Reach The Golden Shore Where There's Everlasting Peace For Me And For You! 

Living By Flesh Is Deadly 
And 
We Are Well Advised To Deny It 
And 
Run To The Lord Pleading For Grace 
While Reaching For Free Mercy 
To Help Us Not To Become The Spiritual Disgrace! 

Flesh Doesn't Elevate! 

Disobedience 
Is 
A Two-Edged Sword Sure To Destroy All 
Who Refuse To Use Holy Wisdom 
As Found In The Living Word! 

Don't Be A Doubter
A Gainsayer
Or An Unbelieving Arguer 
Famous For Following In Steps 
Contrary To Those Of Our Lord! 

Let's Call On Jesus For The Holy Spirit 
So That We May Walk In The Truth! 

Let's Plead With The Lord To Meet Us In Our Need 
And 
To Help Us To Reach Green Pastures With Good Food 
Upon Which To Thankfully Feed! 

Overcome Flesh By Faith 
And 
Overcome Carnality By Grace! 

And

Let's Remember That We Are Weak 
And 
Bow Before Our Maker 
Before The Arrival Of The Hated Undertaker! 

Do Not The Words Of Life Spurn: 
To Dust We Shall Return 
If 
We Don't Accept The Free Gift Of Eternal Life That 
Our Flesh Foolishly Wants To Earn! 

Beloved, 

Human Flesh Cannot Earn What Is Free! 

Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Careless Living Ain't Comfortable Nor Care-Free!














Before We Came To The Lord Jesus Christ
We All, Without Exception, Lived Thoughtless, Careless, Even Reckless Lives 
Because 
That Is What The Unregenerate Soul Does! 

Remember The Truth ... 

All Have Sinned 
And 
All Fall Short Of The Glory Of God! 

Dear Ones, 

What Do You Believe That You Could Give The Beautiful Savior
As Your Valid, Unimpeachable Reason 
For Your Hand In Causing Him To Have To Die 
To Save You From Eternal Separation From Almighty God!?! 

Do You Give Up!?! 

I Did 
Because 
There Is No Excuse For Our Sinning Against God's Holiness! 

Do Your Remember When Wanting To Do 
Turned Into I Did It 
And Then 
Turned To Why Did I Do That 
And On Into 

"Lord Jesus,
Please Help Me And Save Me!?!" 


Been There, Done That! 

Beloved, 

We, As Committed Christians
Can No Longer Walk With Or As The Unwise! 

Our Lives Must Be Lived As Those Wise Unto Salvation! 

Our First, Our Default, Position 
In Everything That Causes Us To Have To Make A Decision 
Is 

"Lord Jesus,
Help Me! 
I Come In Faith, Nothing Wavering!" 

Because 
Being Thoughtful, Careful, Prayerful, Faithful
And 
Ever Showing Abiding Love For Our Blessed Jesus 
Is 
The Anchor For Our Souls! 

Hang On To Jesus Today 
No Matter What Your Lying Eyes
Your Stopped Up Ears
And 
Your Crawling Skin Say! 

Jesus Saves So Let Him Save You! 


Peace! 








Saturday, July 8, 2023

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Give All Your Anxiety To Christ Jesus!

 












Worry Is A Waster! 
Worry Is A Fraud! 
Worry Is A Lie Of The Devil To Place A Stout Curtain 
Between Me And Jesus Christ My Lord! 

Worry Is A Wanderer! 
Worry Is A Cheat! 
Worry Is Vehicle Willing To Transport Me 
To Avidly Suckle Anxiety's Ample Teats! 

Brethren Beloved, 

Please Listen Carefully To Me! 
We Are Not To Take The Path Of Least Resistance 
And 
Rock Back And Forth 
And 
Suck On Our Thumbs
Foregoing Rinse
But 
Lauding Repeat! 

Let's Get To The Altar Of Grace And Praise! 
Let's Access The Mercy Seat 
And 
Hallow The Ancient Of Days! 

Things May Look Hard 
And You May Be Hurting A Lot 
But Know For A Fact That Hurt-A-Lot Is Preferrable 
To Suffering The No-Eternal Life Blot! 

Trust The Lord Whom You Know To Be True! 
Resist The Devil And He Will Flee From You! 
Lean On The Lord 
And 
Away From The God-Fraud 
And 
By Going Through The Fiery Trials Of This Life 
With Intact Faith And Trust 
In Our Forever Faithful, Promise-Keeping Friend
You, Me, We, Will Arrive Safely 
To Spend Eternity With Jesus Christ The Lord Our God
The Word That Performs
The Truth That Saves! 

Peace! 










Saturday, July 1, 2023

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: You've Got A Forever Friend!















The Words 
"I Shall Never Leave You Nor Forsake You!" 
Should Be As Manna In The Desert 
To The Ears, To The Heart, Of A Christian! 

Beloved, 

We Should Ever Be Quick To Recall To Mind That 
Our Blessed Jesus Does Not Remove His People From Their Trials 
But 
Is With Them, With Us, No Matter What It Is That We Are Going Through! 

Dear Ones, 

Remember Job, Abraham, Jacob, Joseph
And
Daniel And The Three Hebrew Worthies
And
Remember Your Very Self! 

Remember The Words 
"Yeah, I Will Be With You Always ...!" 
And 
Let Your Heart Be Glad For The Certain Knowledge That 
The God Whom We Serve 
Is Not 
Paper, Plastic, Precious Stone, Stone, Gold, Silver, Bronze, Iron
Nor A Concoction Of The Vile Imaginings Of 
An Unregenerate Heart! 

Got Troubles!?! 

Get Jesus Christ ... Your King! 

Peace!
