VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Is Your Life A Verifiable Lie!?!

What Is Life!?! 

Are You Living A Lie!?! 

Beloved, 

Do You Recognize, Accept

And 

Are Grateful For The Truth, The Fact, That 

We Each Have Life 

Because 

We Have The Father, Our Father, Who Is In Heaven!?! 

Do You Know, As In Understand, That 

Without Our Father, The Life-Giver, In Our Lives That 

You, Me, We Are Living A Verifiable Lie!?! 

Dear Ones, 

Are You Playing The Primary Part In Satan's Piece De Resistance 

Because 

You, Gasp, Are Denying Him Who Is The Truth 

Who, Alone, Saves You From The Accuser

The Piercing Serpent

The Raging Lion

The One Who Is Jealous Of Your Gift Of A Fruitful Life

Your Heritage As One Created In The Image Of God, After His Likeness

With The Lively Hope Of ... Going Home To Be With Our Father

In The Home Of The Forever Blessed!?! 

Brethren Beloved, 

Guard Your Heart! 

Be Sober, Be Vigilant

Be Very Careful Of Those Whom You Allow To Get Close To You! 

Be Sure To Cooperate With The Holy Spirit 

And

Be Sure To Moment By Moment Work Your Daily Gift Of 

Faith In Your Creator-God 

Who Loves You With An Everlasting Love That Is Life! 

Please Hold 

And

Enduringly Hold On To Your Father's Extended Hand Always 

For Your Life .... Everlasting! 

Peace! 

 

VESPERS: Are You An Artist Or An Artisan!?!

KJV Proverbs 10:23

23 It is as sport to a fool to do mischief: but a man of understanding hath wisdom.

Christianity Is Not A Blood Sport 

But 

It Rests And Rises On The Blood Of The One And Only Christ Jesus 

Who Made Man In His Image And Likeness: 

All This Was Before The Great Flood! 

People Talk About Sports Figures 

And 

Lift Up Their Favorites 

Because Of Their Power, Artistry, And Agility 

But 

I Beg You, Dear One, To Think For A Moment 

About Whether Your Christianity Is Artistry Or Artisanry! 

Jesus Christ The Righteous 

Is 

The Artist With No Parallel 

And 

The List Of His Bona Fides Displays Creator 

And

Identifies His Creation As Heaven And Earth! 

As We Investigate Further

We Come To Understand That This Creator, The Creator

Is 

God Almighty

The One Alone Who Is Wise

And 

He Is Known For Having Gotten His Hands Dirty 

By Making Mankind From The Dust Of The Earth 

Which He Called Forth By His Word! 

Brethren, 

The Artistry And Longevity Of Renowned Sports Figures 

Is 

Of The Duration Called Short 

But 

The Artisanry Of The Creator God Is Ongoing 

Even To This Very Day Above And Below The Vault! 

Those "Christians" Who Are Artists

Who Work To Put On A Show To Entertain The Onlooking Hordes 

Add Neither Themselves Nor Another 

To The Living Kingdom Of God! 

Now, Beloved, As To Those Christians Who Are Wisely Artisans 

Going Into The Trenches For Christ's Sake

To Bless Their Fellow Man

They Will See And Apprehend 

Aka Hold On To The Glory Of 

Their Creator, Savior, Redeemer And Forever Friend

And 

Will Know That The Dirt Accumulated Under Their Nails 

Whilst Willingly Working For Their Maker-Master 

Will Be As The Gold In Their Glad-Day Crown! 

The Guaranteed Perk Of The Enduring-All

Faithful Until Death, Artisan-Christian 

Is 

Joy In Perpetuity! 

Are You Agile In The Word 

And 

Are You Using The Power Of God Mighty To Save To Perfection!?! 

Beloved, 

Don't Go About To Be An Entertaining GOAT, In Time

But 

Grow For The Goal, The Gold Of Eternity

With An Enduring All-For-Christ Spine! 

Remember, A Pretty Face Can't Make Pretty Music 

And 

A Christian Not Dirtied By Working And Praying 

Will Ever Enter Through Heaven's Pearly Gates! 

Don't Be The Fool! 

Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Alpha-Strange Mix-And-Mashup Soup!?!

KJV Psalms 65:4

4 Blessed is the man whom thou choosest, and causest to approach unto thee, that he may dwell in thy courts: we shall be satisfied with the goodness of thy house, even of thy holy temple.

The World Is Always Cooking Up A Pot Of Alphabet Soup 

Where The Meaning Of The Letters Is Ever Changing And Expanding 

No Matter Under Whose Table 

You Choose To Pull Up A Chair! 

Even The Church, The House Of God!?! 

Yes! Indeed And For Sure! 

Lord, Be Merciful! 

He Is! 

Brethren Beloved, 

I Ask You Simple And Plain

Why Would You Choose To Be A Friend To A Man-Made God 

When You Are Called To Be A Child Of Almighty God 

Who In His Image, And After His Likeness, He Made Man!?! 

Why Would You Choose To Starve On Alpha-Strange Mix-And-Mashup Soup 

When You May Survive On 

And 

Be Elevated To Jesus Christ's Glory 

By Imbibing Wittingly On The One And Only Unchangeable

Incorruptible, Lead, Guide, Bless And Teach Soup Of Salvation 

From The Lord's Storehouse Of Good For You 

And 

Plenty More To Come Of Which You Don't Know Anything!?! 

Dear Ones, 

Fast Food And Fast Fashion Have Corrupted The Taste Buds 

And 

Blinded The Eyes 

And 

Warped The Desires Of The Multitudes 

Whilst Encouginging Them To Go For The Thrill Of 

"Do What Thou Will!" 

When You've Got A Twinge Of The I-Feels! 

Christ's Followers Are Not To Live Thus 

And 

I Beg, Plead, And Beseech Us All 

To Get The Lord's Eye-Salve For Healed Eye-Sight

And 

Beseech The Lord To Permit The Angel 

To Cleanse Our Tongues With A Coal From Heaven's Altar! 

These Are Dangerous Times 

To Be Taste-Testers At Curious Restaurants 

Fronted By Gourmet Chefs Who Are Gormands 

Who Also Love To Dish Out Punishment On Plates And In Bowls 

To Abuse Other People's Brains And Bowels! 

Beloved, 

Please Stick To The Lamb Who Is The Shepherd

The Lion Who Is Your Lord And Leader

And 

The King Who Loves You ... Personally And Individually

And 

Will Feed You Himself On The Glad Day 

At The Long Table In The Family House! 

Be Enthusiastic For The Joy Of Eternity

Not The Jollies Of Unsatisfying Entertainment! 

Jesus Christ Is The Joy Of Living! Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: There's A Thing ...!

KJV Proverbs 14:34

34 Righteousness exalteth a nation: but sin is a reproach to any people.

When You Were A Silly Child

Do You Remember You Or Your Mates Pelting 

Aka Throwing "Rock-Stones" On The Ground, At Walls

At Anything Convenient

And, Perhaps

Having That Rock-Stone Fly Back At You, Or One Of Your Mates Real Hard 

And 

Smack The Snot Out Of Them!?! 

It Was Shocking And It Hurt So, So, Soo, Badly! 

Sin Does That! 

Dear Ones, 

Just Like A Tongue

No One Can Control Sin To Decide What It Does Or Who It Affects

Be It A Little Or A Whole Lot! 

Consider The Sewer Line! 

Everybody Takes It For Granted

Walking Around On Top Of It Unconcernedly

Uncaring, Unaware, Unimpressed, Unbothered 

Until That Sewer Line Backs Up And Belches 

Then Everybody An' 'e Bruddah Done Know What And Where It Is 

And 

What It Does

And 

Who It Affects 

And

Demands Release And Relief 

From Its Cruel Control By Stench! 

Beloved, 

Don't, Don't, Please Do Not Fool Yourself Into Believing That 

Sin Can't Do You Anything 

Because 

You Have It On A Short Leash! 

Old Cossie Had De Mule On A Short Leash 

And

It Still Kicked The Black Off Him! 

You've Been Warned! 

Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: No Need To Fear

KJV Acts 2:28

28 Thou hast made known to me the ways of life; thou shalt make me full of joy with thy countenance.

I Have My New Life In The Light Of Life 

So I Have No Need To Fear The Dying Day That Comes At The End Of Life 

Nor The Thought Of Being Cast Off, Being Cast Into Outer Darkness

Since The Author Of Life Is My Lord

And

The Light Of My Life! 

What About You!?! 

Beloved, 

We Set Great Store In Our Senses 

But 

We Need To Repose Them In Him Who Is The Door 

To See And Know That They Are Oh, So Much More! 

We Have Eyes To See Where To Walk

To See The Beauty Of The Earth

To See To Avoid Evil

To See To Do Good And Right

And 

To See To Climb To Higher Heights

And 

To See To Show Others Why For Us 

Jesus Christ Is The Joy Of Living 

And 

Our Heart's Delight! 

We Have Ears To Hear The Sound Of Silence

The Still Small Voice Of The True And Living God! 

We Also Hear The Noise Of Loud And Aggressive Persons

The Sound Of Joy, Sorrow, Shame, Hope, Help

And 

The Word Of Truth 

And

The Call To Everlasting Life! 

We Have A Nose

Two Nostrils Through Which Entered 

The Breath Of Life From God! 

We Inhale The Beautiful Fragrances From Flowers And Trees

The Aroma Of Good Food

And 

We Are Repulsed By The Stench Of Fear, Waste, Decay, Death! 

We Adore The Smell Of New Life

And 

New Life In Christ! 

We Have A Tongue 

To Taste Bitter, Sweet, Sour, Bland, Savory

And 

The Ability To Taste And Tell The Truth 

And 

To Savor And Spit Lies! 

We Soothe Self 

And 

Scar Others With Our Tasting Bit! 

We Are Able Also To Taste And See That 

The Lord Is Good! 

We Have The Ability To Touch And Be Touched

To Feel And Be Felt! 

We Are Touched By The Hand Of God 

Or Terrorized By The Nails Of The Devil! 

With Love We May Lift Up The Fallen 

Or By Rage And Hate 

We May Push, Press, Or Pound Them Into The Ground! 

We May Heal Or Hurt, Help Or Hinder! 

We May Allow Our Lord's Love To Lead Us

And 

Let His Love Perfected In Us

Love Others Into The Kingdom Of Light Where Everlasting Love Lives! 

A Life Minus God's Love 

And

Lived By Our Senses 

Concludes With Eternal Separation From The Giver Of Life! 

The Life Lived For The Lord 

Sees The Senses Used For The Glory Of The Eternal God 

And 

Us Beginning Everlasting Life 

In The Great Reward With Our Blessed Lord! 

We Have No Need To Fear 

When Our Senses Point Us To The Savior 

Who Purchased And Provides Salvation 

For Us Who Are Willing To Be Saved: 

Do Not To Your Carnal Senses Be Enslaved! 

Give Your All, Your Everything, To Christ Jesus 

And 

Know That For You

Your Senses Are Tools Useful In The Salvation Trade 

Where New Life Is Given In Exchange For The Old And Cold! 

To The Savior, Go Bold! 

Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: True Beauty!

KJV Psalms 49:20

20 Man that is in honour, and understandeth not, is like the beasts that perish.

Beauty ... Exposed A Beast! 

The Beauty Of That Beast Called Lucifer, Renamed Satan

Wrought Pain For Me And Thee! 

To Rid Me And My Kind Of The Pain That Is Sin 

Which Causes Death And Ultimately Damnation

The Truly Beautiful Savior ... The Eternal God

Took Our Sin, Our Pain

Our Death

Our Damnation Into Himself

And 

Gave Us His Ineffaceable, Ineffable

Fadeless, Immortal, Incorruptible Beauty 

... If ... We Would But Ask 

Because 

It Is Free! 

Our Savior's Pain Purchased For Me, For You

For Us All Willing

True Beauty

The Kind Of Beauty Which Is Righteous

Holy, Grace-Filled 

And 

Comes Of Obtained Mercy 

Which Welcomes Us To The Throne 

And 

Seats Us At The Table Of The King Of Love! 

Dear Ones, 

We Have A Choice To Make 

Which Has An Inherent Challenge To Overcome! 

Are You Going To Party On Easy Street 

Or Live On Hard Way!?! 

Are You Going To Go Easy And Immoral 

To "Gain" Short-term Benefit To Please Your Lusts 

And 

Impress The Wicked And The Gullible 

Or Are You Going To Make The Hard Decision 

Which Gleans For You The Eternal Weight Of Glory 

As You Bless Your Savior With Your Obedience To His Will 

... Even As You Walk In His Way 

Blessing His Called And Chosen Ones 

Who Are Diligently Seeking His Face And His Extended Hand 

Which Bring Hope, Help And Healing

... As We Head, With The Endurance Of Faith

To Our Father's House 

Which Is Our Forever Home!?! 

Jesus Christ Is Love Is Beauty ... Beautiful! 

Please, I Beseech Us All

Let Him Envelop You 

As You Bury Yourself In Him 

To Be Like Him Now, Today ... Forever! 

Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: The Honest Expectation!

KJV Psalms 62:5

5 My soul, wait thou only upon God; for my expectation is from him.

If You Give To Me And I Give To You 

We Will Both Have What We Need! 

What Is Your Honest Expectation!?! 

What Is ... What Is In ... Your Future!?!

What Is Your Hope!?! 

Do You Truly Believe The Unfailing Word Of God 

And

Are You Using It With This Life To Cope!?! 

Let's Back It Up A Notch And Ask 

"Do You Have Great Expectations Of Those Whom You Can See 

And

Are They Permitted To Have Great  Expectations Of You 

Or

Do You From Them Flee 

Once You Have Gotten Your Own Expectations Fulfilled!?!" 

Brethren Beloved, 

Think Deeply On This Thing: 

The Cooperative Act Of Love Brings Babies! 

To Kiss, The Participants Must Come From Opposite Directions 

And

Cooperate! 

To Wash One's Face, The Backs Of One's Hands Will Not Suffice

And 

To Cradle The Book Of Wisdom

Our Palms Must Not Divide 

But 

Come Together And Look Up In Cooperation! 

Dear Ones, 

We Do Not Do A Good Thing

When We Expect And Take Much From Others 

And 

Give Nothing In Return! 

We Do An Horrible And Awful Deadly Thing 

When We Take The Lord's Good And Perfect Gifts 

And 

Basely Do Not With Thanksgiving Give Him Our Damnable Sin 

Because 

We Have The Great Expectation That He

- Having Paid The Price For Our Sin - 

Will Gift Us Salvation Anyhow 

Because 

We Know That That Is His Thing ... For Love! 

Beloved, 

Be Careful: The Difference Engine Works! 

One Day, On Earth As In Heaven

Our Bills Will Become Due 

And 

It Is My Prayer For Us All That Before Then

We Will Have Taken Jesus Christ's Gift Of Free 

By Giving Up Satan's Expensive 

Aka Taken Indeed-Free And Salvation 

And

Given Up Slave-To-Sin And Damnation! 

Do Not Be Presumptuous: 

Probation Runs Out For Every Single Human 

So Please Do Not Allow The You-Spend And Jesus-Pay Account 

To Zero-Out On You

And 

I Mean Me, Too! 

Jesus Christ Saves! 

Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Love Lifted Me!

KJV Psalms 97:10

10 Ye that love the LORD, hate evil: he preserveth the souls of his saints; he delivereth them out of the hand of the wicked.

Love Is Spelt, Care! 

Care Is Spelt, Help! 

Help Is Spelt, Bless! 

Bless Is Spelt, Jesus 

And 

Jesus Is Spelt, Love! 

Whether We Believe Or Not

We Are Resident In The Circle Of Love! 

Love Conquers All! 

Love Gives All! 

Love Is Over All 

And 

Love Negates The Effects Of 

Our Known Unnecessary But Evident Fall! 

Beloved, 

We May Rest In Love 

And 

Be Restored To Good And Regular Standing 

By Making Peace With Love Who Is Peace 

And

Is Our Peace! 

All That We Need To Do 

Is 

Boldly Go To Love's Throne Of Grace 

To Obtain Mercy 

And

Grace To Help Us ... In Our Time Of Need! 

We Need Love! 

You Need Love! 

I Need Love! 

Brethren, 

Please Never Forget That Jesus, Our God, Is Love! 

Love

Heavenly Love

Abiding Love

Eternal Love

Holy Love

Frees And Saves To The Uttermost 

The One Who Believes In

Calls Upon

And 

Reaches For The Extended Hand Of Love 

Who Brings Hope, Help, Healing

And 

The Forever Home! 

Dear Ones, 

We Say That We Love Jesus

So Let Us With Contrite Hearts 

Confess All Our Known Sin 

And

With Humility 

Repent ... Turn Away From Sin

And 

Truly Love Love By Keeping His Commandments 

Which Are Not Burdensome! 

Love Does Not Hurt! 

Love Lifts! 

Let Us Lift Up Love 

As Love Leads Us Gently, Safely, Home! 

Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Indulgence And Expectation Are Strange Bedfellows!

KJV Romans 11:33

33 O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past finding out!

It's Amazing! 

We Indulge In Our Putrid Pleasures And 

Then Have The Expectation That 

The Prince Of Peace Will Quickly, Instantly

Relieve Us Of The Predicted Pain Of Prophesied Punishment! 

How!?! 

Why!?! 

Indulgence And Expectation Are Very Strange Bedfellows! 

We Unleash Indulgence With The Expectation Of Joy, Pleasure

But 

If You Noticed

We Have Not Appended The Necessary Adjective

The Vital Descriptive Of Warning 

Which Should Be Screaming At Us Free-Will, Free-Choice, Big Spenders! 

Dear Ones, 

Remember This! 

Just Because You Are Free To Do Anything

It Does Not Mean That You Should Choose To Unleash Indulgence! 

Have You No Knowledge Of "Act In Haste ... Of Wanton Desire

And 

Repent At Leisure ... With Sorrowing, Painful Regret!?! 

Beloved, 

Be Warned! 

Doing What You Want Means 

Paying What You Can't Afford ... After A Little While! 

The Length, The Duration, Of The Little While 

Is

Ever In The Lord's Hands

His Timing

His Will

His Way 

And

There Is No Created Being That Can Tell Him "No!" 

Brethren, 

One Thing Is Certain! 

If What We Choose To Indulge Is Under The Lord's Prohibition

His "Thou Shalt Not!" 

We Can All Rest Assured That 

We Will Undoubtedly Suffer The Prophesied Curse Of 

Guaranteed Punishment! 

Conversely, The Lord's "Do As I Have Commanded You!" 

Results In His Prophesied Blessings At Home And Abroad

Of Peace In Him 

And 

Rest With Him! 

I Encourage Us All To Rabidly Reject 

Damned Satan's "Do What Thou Wilt 

Aka Do What Pleases You!" 

And

Joyfully Accept The Lord's Easy Yolk And Light Burden 

Which Lead To Heavenly Joys ... Forevermore! 

We Can't Beat God's Giving 

So Choose To Enjoy The Lord 

And 

His Ways Always And In All Ways! 

Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Fair Exchange!?!

KJV Zechariah 3:4

4 And he answered and spake unto those that stood before him, saying, Take away the filthy garments from him. And unto him he said, Behold, I have caused thine iniquity to pass from thee, and I will clothe thee with change of raiment.

Fair Exchange Is Not Robbery! How, In The Name Of Him Who Is Holy, Can There Be A Fair Exchange When I Gave You Rocks That Are Diamonds And You Gave Me Rocks That Are, Errrm, Rocks!?! Don't Talk To Me About That! That Is A You-Problem! Ohhh, I See! My Bad! I Forgot, Just For A Moment, That We Were Demonstrating The Jesus And Sinner, Salvation And Sin, Savior And Saint Thing! Oh, Goodie! We Are All Caught Up! Beloved, Have You Ever Considered What It Is That Jesus Christ Has Done And Is Doing For Us When He Says "Come Unto Me All Ye That Labor And Are Heavy Laden And I Will Give You Rest!?!" Aren't You Heavy Laden With Sin!?! Isn't Jesus Christ Swapping Out Your Sin And Replacing It With His Rest As In His Perfect Peace!?! Didn't Your Sin Kill Jesus!?! Doesn't His Rest Give You Everlasting Life!?! With That Said, Dear One, Why Would You Not Give All Of Your Sin To Jesus Instead Of Crucifying Him Afresh When You Turn Back To The Flesh-Pots Sitting Down To Eat And Getting Up To Play!?! Do You Not Understand That When Jesus Christ As Savior, Surety, Redeemer, Lord, God, King, And Friend Takes Your Rocks - Which Are Of Life-Extinguishing Weight - And Gives You His Diamonds Of The First Water Aka The Fruit Of His Holy Spirit, That You Are Acquiring All Gain And Thus, Suffering No Loss!?! Beloved, Every Thing That You Give Up For And To Our Lord Jesus Is Replaced By An Imperishable Good And Perfect Gift For Which There Is No Comparison! Come Now! Since Jesus Considers Your Temporal Give-Ups As Fair Exchange For His Eternal Give-To's, Does It Not Become You To Be Wise Unto Salvation For Your Own Self, And Go All In For The Eternal Win!?! Please Don't Be Faithless But Be Faithful, Trusting Him Who Cannot Lie To Give You The New Life Which Cannot Die! Believe The Promise Of The Living Word And Accept What You Cannot Lose But Can Be Thrown Away Through Doubt And Disobedience! Please, In The Name Of The Holy Jesus, Give Up Your Fig Leaves! Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Rest In The Lord!

Wise! 

Unwise! 

Who Will You Be!?! 

Will You Be Among The Blessed And Saved

Or The Damned ... Those Souls Ungodly!?! 

KJV Psalms 115

11 Ye that fear the LORD, trust in the LORD: he is their help and their shield.

Going To Man For Help Instead Of Almighty God 

Is 

Like Chewing And Choking On Dry Chalk 

When You Could, Instead, Be Eating Cherries And Cheese: 

There Is No Profit In It! 

The Lord Whom We Hold In Godly Fear, In Awe

To Whom We Choose To Approach By Working, Unwavering, Faith 

Distinguishes Himself From All Pretenders 

By Being Able, Willing, Ready And Available To Help Us 

When We Need Help ... Which Is Every Moment Of Every Day

No Matter The Situation 

And 

He Is Able To Shield Us ... If It Is His Will ... From The Situation! 

The Lord, Mighty To Save

Will Bring You To A Situation For The Saving Of Your Soul 

And 

By Your Exercise Of Faith In Him

He Will Carry You Through Your Night Of Despair 

To Emerge At The Dawning Of The Light Of The Perfect Day! 

Our Job One, Beloved

Is 

To Fear God

Trust His Word

Ask For And Depend On His Holy Hand Of Certain And Present Help

And

Shelter Under 

And 

Stand Behind The Shield That Faith Built, Builds

And 

Is Ever Building! 

Please Remember This ... 

Goliath The Boastful Giant Had Man-Made, Giant-Sized, Metal Armor 

But 

Psalmist-Shepherd David Had Holy Faith

Righteous Zeal

And 

God-Made Smooth Stones! 

Working Faith Paid Off: 

Goliath Died! 

Please Rest In The Word 

And

Trust The Lord Always ... And Be Eternally Blessed! 

Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Casting Call!?!

KJV Isaiah 65:24

24 And it shall come to pass, that before they call, I will answer; and while they are yet speaking, I will hear.

Wide Broadway Had Long Time Past

Has Recently Been

And 

Is All Now Issuing A Call For Principal Players And Extras 

For Their Spectacular, Their Extravaganza

And 

The Turnout  Is Nothing Short Of A Blowout! 

Everybody Vertical And Ventilating With Visions Of Arriving Is There! 

I Was Tempted, Sorely Tempted

And 

Had At One Point In My Life Joined The Snaking Queue 

To Get My Equity Card! 

One Day, One Of My Bad Days, As I Was Still Waiting 

And 

Being Ensnared By The Stories Of Those Who Had Already Made It 

I Started To Zone Out With A Feeling Of Why Bother 

When I Reached The Cross-Road For Off-Broadway! 

It Was There That I Saw A Simply Dressed Soul 

And 

Heard His Soft Voice Calling 

For Those Who Desired To Be Kings And Priests To The Most High God

For Those Who Would Be Pillars In The House Of Almighty God

For Those Who Desired Peace And Rest For Their Weary Souls

And 

For Those Who Would Prefer To Be Door-Men In The House Of God 

Than To Dwell In The Tents Of Wickedness! 

He Wasn't Finished! 

He Went On To Make The Call 

For Those Who Were Weary And Troubled

For Those Who Desired To Be Saints Of God And Christ

For Those Who Would Sound The Battle Cry For Life

And 

For Those Who Would Be Part Of The Flock Of Sheep 

Who Would Safely Graze Under The Watchful Eye Of 

The Good Shepherd! 

There Was No Waiting

No Call-Backs

No Business Managers

No Publicists

No Vultures

No Casting Couches

No Brunches

No After-Parties

And 

Hallelujah, Jesus

No Users Or Abusers! 

I Walked To Him! 

That Man At The Entrance Of The Narrow Road Off Broadway 

Called Strait 

Smelled Clean

Embodied Light

Told Truth

And 

Gave Me Something Called Grace And Mercy 

From The Welcome Table Sponsored By Love 

Accompanied By The Comforter! 

I Walked Into Love

Cooperated With The Comforter

And 

Knew Peace Who Gave Me The Gift Called Faith 

And 

Promised Me A New Supply Every Day From That Day On 

And 

As Long As I Lived And Had My Being! 

I Was, I Am Amazed ... I Had To Tell You About It! 

Dear One, 

We All Have Great Expections 

But ... And

It Is A Rare Thing For Reality To Meet Expectations! 

I Have Come To Realize That 

I Do Not Desire To Be A Second Class

Even Last Class Citizen 

In The Liar's Third Rate Melodrama! 

I Choose To Have And Be With Peace 

Because 

He Is Love And Loves Me ... Sacrificially! 

The Liar Wants To Sacrifice Me 

But 

My Free-Will Decision Is Clear ... Is Made! 

I Choose My Lord Jesus And Him Glorified! 

Please Join Me! 

Peace!

Vespers At The End Of The Sabbath: Who Guides Your -Ship!?!

KJV Ephesians 5:15-16

15 See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise,

16 Redeeming the time, because the days are evil.

-Ships Abound! 

What Kind Of -Ship Is Yours!?! 

We Can Be Like Jesus And To Accomplish This

We Are Each Offered A Lifetime Apprenticeship 

In The Righteousness School Of King Jesus Aka The King Of Love

Where The Teacher, Not Professor Nor Educator

Is 

The Holy Spirit Of God 

Who Leads The Diligent Apprentices Into All Truth! 

Beloved, 

Interestingly Enough And Sadly

There Is The Malevolent Spirit Running Amok 

Who Is Also Offering Free Apprenticeships 

To His About-Me School 

Where Advanced Placement GS&P Classes 

Are The Hot Ticket! 

Strangely Enough

There Is Not A Step Up To A Brighter Day Celebration 

For Any Of The Thousands Of Years That 

The Malevolent Spirit's About-Me School Has Been In Existence! 

On The Other Hand, Dear Ones

What Is Amazingly Beautiful About The King Of Love's School Of Righteousness 

Is 

That It Has A Parallel -Ship Class 

For All Of Those Students In Its Apprenticeship Program Of Education! 

It Is Called Friendship 

And 

It Gives All Apprentices Direct Anytime Access To 

The Creator-Owner

Founder-Operator

Sustainer-Maintainer Of The School 

Where Grace And Mercy 

And 

Justice And Peace Are Its Hallmarks! 

The Apprentices Remaining Therein To The Program's Completion 

Are Eternally Blessed! 

Brethren Beloved, 

In The Name Of Jesus Christ The Lord 

Understand That To Be Forewarned 

Is 

To Be Forearmed 

So Please Make A Note-Well Warning 

In Your Need To Know File! 

The King Of Love 

Is 

Your, My, Our Forever Friend! 

The Malevolent Spirit 

Is 

The Now-Present Fiend 

And 

His Advanced Placement GSP Classes 

Are For Intensive Tutoring In Greed, Selfishness And Pride 

Which Gives Its Apprentices A Hot Ticket To Hell 

On The Day That The Judge Of All Flesh Appoints! 

The Malevolent Spirit Has Already Been Found Wanting 

And 

Has Been Judged And Condemned! 

Please, I Beseech Us All

Be Purposeful And Intentional In Your Grace-Filled Walk And Work 

For The Judge, Prince Immanuel, The King Of Love: 

He Equips All Of His Apprentices With Faith For Today ... Every Day! 

Be Wise!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Trust The Process!?!

KJV 2 Peter 1:4

4 Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.

It Was An Art Tutorial On How To Draw 

A Rather Complex-Looking Pine Cone!

The Tutor Said That It Was Going To Be Hard To Do 

AND THEN Said: 

"It Isn't So Much That It Is Going To Be Hard 

But That You Are Going To Have To Trust The Process!" 

The Words Stopped Me Dead In My Tracks 

And 

I Heard Myself Saying: 

"But THAT Is How It Is With The Lord! 

We Have To Trust That He Will Do What He Says He Will Do

Believing That He Is The Promise-Keeping God!" 

Beloved, 

Has The Devil, Your "Friends," Your Sure-Foes

And 

The Worldly-Wise Pleasure-Loving Hoardes 

Who Are The Enemies Of Truth, Right-Living

Humility

And 

Reformation By Grace Through Faith 

Got You Believing That Your Case Is Hopeless

That Your Efforts Are Futile

That Jesus Christ Doesn't Want Dirty Sinners 

But Desires Clean Saints One Of Whom You Are Not!?! 

I've Got News For You: 

"All The Clean Saints Were Once Dirty Sinners! 

They, By Faith, Chose To Trust The Lord At His Word

Answered His Call To Life

Confessed And Repented Of Their Known Sin

Accepted Almighty God's Forgiveness

Went Down Into The Watery Grave Of Baptism

And Rose Up To Walk In The Newness Of Life!" 

Hallelujah, Jesus! 

See!?! 

Process Followed: 

Progress Attained! 

Dear Ones, 

Please Listen To The Lamb That Forever Lives 

And Not To The Damned Liar Headed For The Lake Of Fire! 

All That Our Blessed Jesus Said That He Will Do

He Will Do ... For You! 

Believe The Wise Word

Trust The Process As Promised

And 

Always Choose To Obey The Lord!

Jesus Saves! 

Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Secure Attachment!

KJV Ephesians 5:31

31 For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh.

Safe, Seen, Soothed, And Secure! 

These Four S's Of Marriage Aka Secure Attachment 

Are Or Should Be Of Intense Interest And Careful Study 

To All Committed Christians! 

Beloved, 

Did Not Jesus Call The Church His Bride 

And

Are We Not Espoused To Him As Our One Husband!?! 

We Are Safe In The Arms Of Jesus! 

We Are The Apple Of His Eye

And 

He Is The All-Seeing God! 

We Have As Our Comforter 

The Holy Spirit As A Gift From Our Savior 

Who Promises Never To Leave Us Or Forsake Us 

And

We Are Ever Welcome To Approach The Throne Of Grace Boldly 

To Obtain Mercy 

And

Grace To Help In Our Time Of Need! 

We Are Secure In The Care Of The King Who Died To Save Us 

And 

Lives To Make Intercession For Us 

And 

Is Returning To Take Us Home To His Father And Our Father's House 

Where We, Immortalized And Incorruptible, Will Live Eternally

Free From Self And Sin! 

Dear Ones, 

Dare And Choose To Display Your Marriage Certificate: 

Open Your King James Bible ... And Pray And Read ... And Enjoy To The Max! 

Peace! 

HAPPY SABBATH BLESSINGS AND BOUNTIES!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Think Tenderly ...

KJV Acts 24:25

25 And as he reasoned of righteousness, temperance, and judgment to come, Felix trembled, and answered, Go thy way for this time; when I have a convenient season, I will call for thee.

Think Tenderly On The Truth 

And 

Grow Rich In Righteousness! 

Beloved, 

Throughout The Church Age

Men And Women Have Squandered Their Blessings From 

The Divine Majesty Who Inhabits Impenetrable Light 

By Lying On The Truth 

And 

Embracing Self-Deception And Self-Delusion! 

Haven't You Heard That The Best Lie That One May Tell 

Is 

The Lie Told To Oneself!?! 

Dear Ones, 

The Only Thing In This Life Which Does Not Change 

Character, Clothing, Or Commitment To The Cause Of Christ

Is 

The Truth Of Christ! 

Have You Heard Our Savior Calling You 

By The Holy Spirit Who Leads Us Into All Truth!?! 

Did You Answer In The Affirmative 

Or Did You Calendar It For That More Convenient Time 

After You've Gotten Your Jollies 

By Indulging Your Favorite Sin!?! 

Beloved, Be Warned! 

Telling The Lord To Come To You 

At A More Convenient-To-You Time 

Is 

Like Asking Sunrise To Come At Sunset Twice Removed! 

The Sun Does Not Rise Or Set By Our Say-So 

Nor Is The Almighty God Our Servant 

And 

We His God! 

Tread Softly! 

Choose To Listen To The Lamb 

And 

Remember That Every Good And Every Perfect Gift 

Is 

From Him In Whom There Is No Variableness 

Aka Mood-Swings 

Or Shadow Of Turning 

Aka Fickleness 

Aka He Has No Liar In Himself!

Beloved, Think! 

Almighty God Is The Same

Yesterday, Today, And Forever! 

I Implore Us All To Heed The Call To Life 

Less We Awaken One Day To Find Ourselves Like 

King Saul, Judas Iscariot, And All Who Believe That 

They Can Instruct, Correct, Control, 

And 

Commission The Creator God

Our King ... The Judge! 

Night Is Coming

So Walk In The Light That Leads To Life Everlasting! 

Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Multiple-Domain WARFARE!

KJV Isaiah 41:13

13 For I the LORD thy God will hold thy right hand, saying unto thee, Fear not; I will help thee.

All Christians Must Be Able To Indulge Multiple-Domain Warfare 

Because 

We Will Suffer Attack From Three Sources Which We Must 

Boldly And Courageously Overcome ... By Almighty God's Amazing Grace!

Brethren, 

The Adversary Of Souls Will Attack Us 

Through The Same Three Domains 

Through Which He Attacked Our Blessed Jesus: 

The Lust Of The Flesh

The Lust Of The Eyes

And 

The Pride Of Life! 

Amazingly ... And Thankfully

We Are Able To Overcome Our Fearsome Enemy's Vicious And Unrelenting Attack 

In The Same Manner, Using The Same Weapon, That Our Beautiful Savior Did 

Aka The Word, The Living Word

The Eternal Word

The Infallible Word Of Almighty God! 

Of Note, Dear Ones, Is The Fact That The Word

The Weapon Of Our Warfare

Is Not Carnal 

And 

Is Only Useful To Us If We Know It

Understand It

Accept It

And 

Are Willing To Utilize It In All Spheres Of Our Activities 

On Our Earthly Sojourn! 

We Must Have Love, Faith, Hope

Obedience And Endurance 

Or The Word Will Not Work 

Aka Will Not Be Of A Benefit To Us! 

Ask The Lord For Wisdom 

And

Be Wise ... Unto Your Own Soul's Salvation! 

Peace!

HAPPY SABBATH + Where's Your TOE!?!

KJV Psalms 9:9-10

9 The LORD also will be a refuge for the oppressed, a refuge in times of trouble.

10 And they that know thy name will put their trust in thee: for thou, LORD, hast not forsaken them that seek thee.

Where's Your TOE!?! 

Why Is A Toe Called A Toe!?! 

Why Do We Have Big Toes, Great TOES

Or As Some People Call Them, Thumb Toes!?! 

Our Great Toe Aids Us In Our Ability To Walk Smoothly

And 

Helps Us To Balance! 

Dear Ones, 

Remember These Words:

 Walking And Balancing! 

In Our Christian Journey Walking With Christ Our Lord

Our Great TOE 

Is 

Our Trust, Obedience, And Endurance! 

Without Trust

We Will Not Obey The Word Or Endure The Battle! 

If We Lack Endurance

It Shows That Our Trust Is Not Sure

And 

If We Lack Obedience

Trust And Endurance Will Never See The Challenge! 

Brethren, 

Nobody In Their Right Mind 

Will Anchor Themselves By Their Little Aka Pinkie Toe 

But 

Will Depend On Their Great Toe

Their Load-Bearing Appendage Aka Digit

To Hold Them In Place! 

Let Us This Day Use Our Gift Of Faith From Our Lord Christ 

To Birth And Nurture Our Trust In Him Who Saves 

By Our Always Ready And Willing Obedience 

So That We Will Endure To The End

So That We Will Be Blessed And Saved To Hear The Desired Words: 

"Well Done, Good And Faithful Servant! 

Enter Into The Joy Of Thy Lord!" 

Beloved, 

Dig Into Christ's Free-To-All Salvation With Your Great TOE! 

Peace! 

HAPPY SABBATH BLESSINGS AND BOUNTIES!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: The Recyclers!

KJV Jeremiah 2:19

19 Thine own wickedness shall correct thee, and thy backslidings shall reprove thee: know therefore and see that it is an evil thing and bitter, that thou hast forsaken the LORD thy God, and that my fear is not in thee, saith the Lord GOD of hosts.

Sighhh .... 

It Never Seems To End! 

We Backslide From Following The Saving Truth 

And 

Soon We Find Ourselves To Be The Official Recipients Of Chastisement! 

Oh, The Pain! 

With Truly Sorrowing Hearts

We Willingly Confess Our Folly

Our Sins

Our Transgressions

Our Iniquities

And 

Our God, The True And Living Holy God

With The Heart Of Love

Having Compassion

Hears Our Heartfelt Prayers And Plaintive Cries

And 

Works For Us Our Only Means Of Deliverance! 

But ... Do We Learn Anything From Our Recent 

Known Unpleasant Experience!?! 

Oh, No! 

That Would Be Too, Too, Tooooo Easy! 

So What Do We Do Instead!?! 

We Rinse ... And Repeat! 

We Act Like Like Those Who

- By Their Own Wisdom, In Their Own Strength - 

Would Save Themselves, Would Save The Earth: 

We Recycle! 

Oh, Lord, Have Mercy On Us Your Wayward Children! 

Brethren Beloved, 

If We Keep Doing The Same Things 

Whilst Expecting A Different Response

It Is Called Madness: 

There Will Not Be Any Mad 

Aka Boiled-Brain Persons 

In The Living Kingdom Of God! 

Dear Ones, 

Let Us Be Wise For Our Own Selves 

- Having Asked The Lord To Give Us Of His Wisdom - 

So That We Do Not Walk As The Worldly-Wise 

Whose Wisdom Is Foolishness To The God Of Glory! 

In The Land Of The Godly 

The Only Wise God Is King! 

In The Land Of The Ungodly

Satan, The Forever Damned, Is The Accursed King! 

Beloved, 

Rinsed And Recycled Sin Is Still Sin

Backsliding And Chastisement Still Cause Pain

Confession Still Places Us In The Land Of Regret

And 

Restoration Of Deliverance Will Still And Forever 

Come From The Hand Of The All-Knowing

Ever-Present, Forgiving God! 

Please, I Beseech Us All

Let Us Choose To Walk In The Light Of Life 

For The Love Of Jesus Christ The Lord! 

Let Us By Grace Through Faith 

Live And Love To Do Right! 

Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Sere Or SERE: Your Choice!

 

SERE Aka Survival, Evasion, Resistance, Escape Training

Sere Aka Dry, Parched, Separated From The Source Of Life

Beloved, 

All Committed To Christ Christians Are SERE Specialists! 

Our Survival 

Is 

Guaranteed By Our Enduring All Things For Christ 

By His Gift Of Grace Through His Daily Gift To Us Of 

Faith For The Day! 

Our Method Of Evasion 

Is 

By Staying Away From Aka Avoiding Sin 

And 

The Appearance Of Evil! 

We Are Required To Resist The Devil 

By The Word Of The Lord Of Life 

So That He Will Flee From Us! 

Our Way Of Escape 

Is 

The Way Of The Cross 

For The Love Of Jesus! 

Brethren Beloved, 

In All Things 

We Are More Than Conquerors 

Through Him Who Loves Us! 

We Are To Remain Attached To Our Maker

To Our God

To Our King

By And Through Whom We Live And Breathe 

And 

Have Our Being! 

Jesus Christ 

Is 

The Bread Of Life! 

His Blood Is Our Drink Indeed! 

His Holy Angels Are Our Protectors 

Who Cannot Be Overcome By The Forces Of Evil! 

The Holy Spirit Is Our Comforter, Our Teacher, Our Guide 

And Together

All Of Heaven 

Is 

Working For Our Salvation! 

Dear Ones, 

Let Us Therefore Strengthen The Weak Knees 

And

Put On The Whole Armor Of God 

And

Point Our Noses To Heaven At The Last Trumpet 

And

Permit Neither Fallen Man Nor Fallen Angel 

To Cause Us To Turn Aside To Lying Fables! 

Fret Not Thyself Because Of Evil-Doers 

But 

Valiantly ... Courageously

Joy In The Lord And In The Power Of His Might! 

Jesus Christ Alone Saves

And 

The Way Of The Cross Leads Home! 

Peace!
