OF Truth And Excuses

How many times do you hear these three subjects preached from the pulpits? Rarely? Why? They are not popular subjects among the folk that excuse the ways of their life, the way they walk, talk, cheat, lie, and call IT, just a little white, all in fun. God wants us to be happy so HE Will over look these little white lies IF IT Makes the children happy and joyful.. For God ~Loves~ US and our laughter IS Music to HIS Ear… ? Huh? What does The Bible Reveal to those who earnestly read IT?
(Ecclesiastes 7:3 & 6).. Sorrow IS Better than laughter, for by sadness of the countenance (expression or self-control) the heart IS Made better… For AS The crackling of thorns under a pot, so IS The laughter of a fool: This IS Also ~Vanity~… & “Vanity” IS a work of error, unfruitful.!
(Jeremiah 51:17-18)..*Every man* IS brutish by ~his~ knowledge: every founder IS Confounded by the ~graven image~: for his molten image IS falsehood, there IS NO breath in them… They are ~Vanity~, the work of errors: in the ~Time~ of visitation they shall perish…
(Psalm 10:4 & 7) …The wicked, through the ~pride~ of his countenance, will not seek after God, for God IS NOT IN his thoughts… His mouth IS Full of cursing, deceit, and fraud: under his tongue IS mischief and ~vanity~…
(proudly displayed tattoos, spiked and painted hair, bodies scantly clad in the fads of dress which represent the modern times of Sodom, faces painted like clowns, portraying ourselves as whores while embracing the fraudulent fables of mans traditional holidays while trying TO Put God into them by inserting HIS Title or Name with the pagan cultures, doesn’t make them ~Right~ but IT Makes us *deceitful*?)
(James 4:8-9)…Submit yourselves, therefore, TO God, ~resist~ the devil, and he will flee from you.. Draw ~Nigh~ TO God, and HE Will Draw Neigh To you.. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded. OR
(Do we really want the devil to flee from us or are we having tooo much fun with his parties, his traditions of pagan cultures to flee from Satan, but want to embrace him just a little while longer, thinking that when we hear the trumpet blow then we can stand on our claim of “Christianity” and ~ALL~ will be well?) we are what we ingest,
SOOOOooooo…..J L what IS on your plate?
OF Excuses: Jesus Spoke:
(Luke 14:16-18)… A ~certain man~ made a *Great supper*, and bade many: and sent HIS servant at ~Suppertime~ to say to them that were bidden, COME: for ~~ALL~~ things ARE Ready. AND They ~ALL~ began to make excuses…
OF Truth:
(Psalm 145:18) .. The LORD IS Neigh unto ~~ALL them~~ that call upon HIM, to ~ALL~ that call upon HIM IN *Truth*…
(Proverbs 3:3).. Let not mercy and *Truth*, forsake thee, bind them about thy neck: write them upon the ~Table~ of thine heart..
AND JESUS SAID;
(John 4:24).. “God IS A SPIRIT and they that ~worship~ HIM, ~ must worship~ HIM IN Spirit and IN *Truth*.” …..
(John 8:32)… ‘AND, ye shall ~know~ the *Truth*, and *THE Truth* shall make you free.”
(I Timothy 6:5).. Perverse disputing of men with corrupt minds, and destitute of *Truth*, supposing that ~Gain~ IS godliness: ~~From Such Withdraw thyself~..! (How many things, such as those elected as leaders in God’s Houses of Worship spout out of made up tales and fables of fun, are tolerated by the people for vanities sake, rather than stoutly being held to the ~Truth~.. )
(II Timothy 2:16).. But ~~Shun~~ profane and vain babblings: *FOR* they *WILL* ~Increase~ unto more ungodliness..
(II Timothy 3:7-8).. For OF this sort are they which creep into houses and lead captive ~silly~ women laden with sins, led away with divers (many) lusts, ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of : *The Truth*…
(Titus 1:13-14).. This ~Witness~ IS TRUE, wherefore rebuke them sharply, that they may be found in faith; ~NOT~ Giving heed to Jewish fables, and commandments of men that turn from the *TRUTH*…
Ever been to a ladies meeting where the conversation was all about the world and how to have fun in it? Santa Claus, Easter Rabbits, Fortune telling, Horoscopes, Tattoos, Parties, Dancing, what can we do to entertain, have fun, any and everything can be heard, ~Except~ a Word From The Bible… Attend one, and you will not question the scripture that Paul wrote forbidding women to speak in Church… (I Corinthians 14:34-35)..
Not that ~ALL~ women are leaders of the ways of the world, for there IS maturity in some, but most of that maturity is IN the older ladies that have faithfully followed the Teachings of Biblical Truth, and learned to avoid the walk with the world…. BUT those ladies are not popular because they are considered TOO Serious, they don‘t bring fun to the plate…
Not being harsh to the women only, but being a woman, I have never attended a meeting of the minds of men, so I can‘t speculate of what is carried on there…
(I John 2:21)… I have not written unto you because ye know not the truth, BUT because ye know IT and that ~No Lie~ IS of *THE TRUTH*… (This takes away Excuses For the fantasy tales of games, parties, and worldly holidays….and IS written unto those that claim “Christianity.” Because! )
(I John 2:4).. He that saith, “I Know HIM”, and keepeth ~Not~ HIS Commandments, IS A liar, and *THE TRUTH*, IS NOT IN him….
(Psalm 100:5).. For THE LORD IS Good, HS Mercy IS Everlasting; AND HIS *TRUTH* Endureth to ~ALL~ generations…
OF Christianity:
(Acts 11:26)…A ~whole Year~, they assembled themselves with the church and ~Taught~ much people, and the disciples were called Christians first in Antioch…
(I Peter 4:16-17).. *Yet IF* any man suffer as a Christian, let him ~not~ be Ashamed; BUT let him *glorify God* on this behalf… FOR ~The Time~ IS come that judgment ~Must~ Begin AT The House OF God: and IF IT First begin at us, what shall the ~~End Be~ of them that *Obey NOT* The Gospel OF God?
SO beware OF: the macabre ~laughter~ of All Hallows Day “Halloween”… The *Excuses* that so many people use to lie, just a little white one for the sake of making the children happy, the drunken parties, the money grubbing marketers, riding high on the Blessed Name of The Son of God, in the celebration of: “The Manmade Christmas”. *IF*, we truly care about remembering THE Birth of Christ on this earth for our benefit, we would Obey HIS Commission TO Carry IT IN The Gospel unto ~ALL~ Nations 52 weeks a year, 7 days a week… AND IT Would reflect IN our actions, our speech, our dress, our manner, our ~Interest~….
AND Like wise with The “Easter” celebration that mixes the spring solstice the pagan celebration of the false goddess Eastre with the account of The: Resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ in Whom we can now have hope of life eternal in “New Jerusalem” under the Loving care of HIS Father The ONE Seated on the Throne, and under the Priestly Kingship of Jesus Christ….
Why IS IT Such a sin in the eyes of man to: Put away the excuses, Tell The Gospel IN Whole Truth, and walk obediently in the seriousness of: God’s Will and Way, rather than the wild abandon of Satan’s World of Lies, seeking the fun and laughter that he cunningly disguises and places on the plates of those who are weak to the temptations of a little white lie, and call ourselves “Christians”? IT Isn’t that we can’t enjoy this life that God gave us, without the lies, the deceit, the fraud, under the guidance of the father of the lie… Because there are many, many ways to live happily, laugh, give gifts to each other, sing, play and have a joyfully good time in the Will and Way of The FORD God Almighty… not falling into the trap of: the dragon, the snares of the serpent, or the disguise of beauty that Satan the devil has prepared for all who are weak in body and *spirit*…. Which IS The Reason we must stay, built up IN The Sound Direction of Truth IN The Written Word….
