Accountability
3/3/18


- The soul that sinneth, it shall die. The son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son: the righteousness of the righteous shall be upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him.


Accountability is a word heard often in the context of the happenings of men, yet, seemingly, a word that is defined only in its application to others when outrage after outrage is publicized and never to be applied to the individual demanding that accountability.

It is used to besmirch reputation, extract vengeance, proclaim guilt, whether in existence or not, as justification is sought by those demanding that accountability of any or all but themselves.


There is, however and accountability that may not be escaped, may not be diverted to someone else, may not be obfuscated with excuse after excuse as to intent or lack of intent as result is held accountable.

- So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God.

That accounting is given both in this life, and before the throne of God, either with plea of guilt, or plea of the blood of Christ Jesus having been applied to erase that guilt, through the repentance for that guilt, rather than attempting to deny any accountability on the part of the individual and a steadfast refusal to acknowledge culpability and accountability.

- I the LORD search the heart, [I] try the reins, even to give every man according to his ways, [and] according to the fruit of his doings.

The heart that will be searched should be the heart being searched by each in accordance with the knowledge of the fact that he is in fact accountable.

Society has attempted to remove the necessity for that search, replacing it with pseudo truths providing ever more pseudo justification that demands no accountability from self, but would rather, deny accountability through that "justification" based on the accountability of any and all EXCEPT the individual justifying himself.

Repentance is not given, but ignored as justification is substituted before men, something unacceptable when facing the ultimate accountability that occurs for each as excuses no longer cover accountability.


Ecclesiastes 12:13-14

King James Version (KJV)

13 Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man.
14 For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil.

Jesus came to provide justification before God for the few willing to accept the accountability that accompanies that justification....redemption for repentance.

His sacrificial crucifixion, death, and resurrection to LIFE was not to erase accountability, but to assure that accountability, accepted as assured, as the pardon for that accountability is offered when repentance IS given...when acceptance of that accountability  is established in the soul and heart of those believing in HIS ability to become accountable for those giving that repentance.

When the demand for accountability is shouted by the masses, when that demand is repeated in reference to the necessity of penalty for those accountable...that same demand for accountability must be given by each for themselves as they face the mirror, rather than "justification" denying that accountability.

Ultimate penalty is not extracted by man, but assuredly WILL be by God, whether man holds himself accountable or not.


Revelation 22:10-13

King James Version (KJV)


10 And he saith unto me, Seal not the sayings of the prophecy of this book: for the time is at hand.

11 He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still.

12 And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be.

13 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last.

The time approaches ever more rapidly when true accountability must and shall be given by each and ALL. 
God's Love for man demands that accountability, and will NOT be denied.
No justification other than that given by Christ Jesus will be acceptable...no platitudes used in that justification may stand, no teachings that promote redemption without the demand for repentance may stand...no prosperity gospel will suffice... ONLY the gospel of Christ Jesus accepted and followed willingly, that includes His message of Love and His message of warning as well... a warning of accountability!
2 Timothy 1:12 KJV
 12For the which cause I also suffer these things: nevertheless I am not ashamed: for I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed unto him against that day.
Amen and Amen
the Wayfarer

Thy will be Done...the Wayfarer 3/15/19

Thy will be Done 3/15/19 Matthew 6:9-13 King James Version (KJV) 9  After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. 10  Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. 11  Give us this day our daily bread. 12  And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. 13  And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen. The "model " prayer, given us by Jesus, repeated daily throughout the world, by many denomination and sect, though seldom examined by those parroting the words is NOT an empty example that is to be followed by congregant, memorized by children and adult alike.  It is exactly the opposite of that emptiness, holding the essence of what SHOU LD be in the heart of the one praying. It is GOD'S will that need be sought, not just daily, but continually by all wishing ...

Remember Therefore from Whence Thou art Fallen,,the Wayfarer 3//27/13

 3//27/13 “Remember from Whence Thou art Fallen” “Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent.” (Revelation 2:5) Today we touch the untouchable book of Revelation, given to us by John of Patmos, through our Savior Jesus Christ himself. This particular message is one I have given before, in places where I knew none of the congregation, and had no idea why God wouldn’t let me preach from any other scripture.  It is probably one of the most important messages for the people of today’s church to hear. It is also probably the hardest for today’s “Christians” here in our country to comprehend, and even harder to accept. Take note of the use of the phrase “ the first works” used by Jesus, we will delve deeply into the meaning of this phrase as we progress through today’s message. First, however let us back...

The Life is More than Meat...the Wayfarer 11/29/15

The Life is More than Meat  11/29/15 22  And he said unto his disciples, Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat; neither for the body, what ye shall put on. 23  The life is more than meat, and the body is more than raiment. (Luke 12:22 &23) Life is indeed more than meat, food, clothing and the things that are constantly demanding the attention of the physical, carnal man, whose concern for himself and those he considers his own, all too often revolve. Life also consists of the inner being, the soul of that man, and those he considers his own, and all others as well with whom he is in contact in the process of what is called living. It is that very essence of life, that eternal soul that holds preeminence and prominence above all physical “needs”. The necessity of a warm coat to stave off the chill of the winter’s cold is undeniably important, without it the physical body, first suffers discomfort, and if ...
