We have OPTIONS!!



We have the option to live
We have the option to die
We have the option to tell the truth
We have the option to lie!

We have the option to Christ believe
We have the option to achieve
We have the option to God’s Spirit grieve
We have the option to deceive!

We have the option to remember
We have the option to forget
We have the option to option our options
We have the option to regret!

We have the option to win life’s race
We have the option to fail
We have the option to accept God’s Grace
We have the option to seal our coffins with nails!

Whatever decision we make this day
Whether we win or lose
We have the option to exercise our freewill
Heaven or Hell! WE CHOOSE!

Prayer: Lord, Help Me Not To Make Shipwreck!




Lord, help me not to make shipwreck
Upon the sandy shoals
Of name or rank or talent
Let me upon Christ take hold!

Help me to set aside my self, Lord
Help me, Lord, to lift You up
Give me the strength to give my back to
The accolades of men from the bitter cup!

I beseech You, Lord, for the blessings
That keep my sight raised high
To the Temple of The Eternal
To my mansion in the sky!

Until the Day of Awarding
When Saints have been glorified
Let me not make shipwreck of my faith, Lord
By believing Old Satan's lies!
AMEN.

The Living Stream


The Living Stream



One day I happened on a stream 
Called the Grace of God
Where all who bathed emerged again
Clean, blessed, and ready to rejoice!

This stream was like no other stream
Where one only could get wet
This stream it flowed, and flowered, and
Covered in joy, not regret!

All those who entered in the stream
Were those who saw their need for
A cleansing and a renewing of
The spirit plagued by the sins they abhor!

These were the ones who accepted the call
Of Jesus via Hill Calvary
And recognized that without it they would be lost
And chose to let Him bear their cross!

The Grace of God - that stream profound
Draws in one who is lost and 
Releases one who’s been found!

It washes, it cleanses
It refines and it heals
It covers, and establishes
Those who before Him kneel
And confess, and repent
Seeking renewal and reform
E’en setting aside Earth - the crown with the thorns
And seeking the jewel of Heaven
Eternal, everlasting
With Jesus, the Savior
The Redeemer, our Friend
Who made the way easy 
For this man to be cleansed
In His stream 
By God’s Grace
His glory to share!

Step in now, walk boldly
Into the cleansing stream
When it covers your head - don’t cower
For it’s then it releases the Power!

Don’t be afraid now!
He who loves - holds you
He who died - stands
He who arose is e’er ready 
To protect and console you!
Be strong! He will shield you!
He is the Great I AM!

He is calling, always calling
He is knocking at your heart’s door
He is able, ever ready
To sit with you and to show  
How to walk in His faith
His testimony to share
So that others beholding
Will want Him their burden to take care!

So, my brother, my sister
All you who believe
Get ready with the help of King Jesus
Your freedom to receive!

Walk into the water!
Walk into the flood  
For it heals, and it cleanses
All because of  Living Blood!

Questions for Christians



Always Seek Knowledge!


Do I look like a Christian?
Do I talk like a Christian?
Do I walk like a Christian?
Do I love as a Christian?
Do I show that Christ is alive and
Well, and living in me, or
Do I make Him cry?

Do my words speak peace, or
Do they cut and consume?
Do they say He is coming, or
Do they only confuse
Those who are seeking a Savior,
A refuge from the storm, or
Do they fill hearts with distrust
And leave the seeker feeling forlorn?

Does my walk speak of Eternity?
Does it make a seeking heart blaze
With a hope that comes from the Eternal
The Ancient, The One of Everlasting Days?
Does my walk lead e’er upward and
Onward into the Light, or
Does my walk speak of a heart that’s blighted and
Always spoiling for a fight?

Do I look like the Christian who
Looks like the Christ of the Cross, or
Do I look like the Christian who’s
Trying her best to be lost, by
Acting in a manner unbefitting
A child of the Great I am
By showing in thought, word, and action
That I’m an unregenerate mere man?

Does my love for my brother
Show that Jesus is my way, or
Do I show by my living that
Satan is carrying sway?
Does my love have a connection
To the Mainline of the Cross, or
Does my love for my fellows give proof of
An unclean spirit ignoring Christ’s suffering and loss?

What worth are you to Jesus?
What worth is Jesus to you?

What worth is a pin that doesn’t?
What worth is a knife that doesn’t cut?
What worth is salt that doesn’t?
What worth is a path untrodden?
What worth is love that doesn’t?
What worth is a bible not read?
What worth is a river that doesn’t flow?
What worth is a heart that’s leaden?
What worth is a life that’s only show?
What worth is a Savior, the One the world refuses to know?
What worth is a Savior, the One we Christians neglect though we say we own?
What worth is a lamp if we fail to light it to see the way?
What worth is the Word, the lamp for our feet, the light for our way in the dark of day?
What worth is the Blood if we don’t accept that it cleans and redeems?
What worth is a mansion in the Kingdom, if we don’t prayer and actively seek to receive it?
What worth is the Cross, if we choose this day to be among the lost?
What worth is the truth to those who never hear it?

What are you worth to Jesus?
What is Jesus worth to you?

I've got the questions!
Have you go any answers?




Romans 12 Authorized (King James) Version (AKJV)

I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith.

What Does it Profit a Man



What Does it Profit a Man


This world has nothing to offer me
Except a lost sinner's unremarkable grave
For between life's start and the finish thereof
Is a few laughs that aren't even close to sincere


The prince of this world is a master of
Deception, wickedness and destruction
He offers toys and some so-called joys
And the assured loss of your election



What profit the world if your soul is lost
And Christ's promise of eternity forfeited
Think carefully, for the way is broad
That leads to sorrow and soul affliction


You can look forward to spills, and lots of cheap thrills
Dread disease, broken homes, and fear
Your toys then become terrors that bleach the soul
Until it's like dead bones in the valley of decision


That, my friend, is all that's left
When you seek after this world
With all its greed, and need for speed
That put you on the wrong side of heaven


Forgive me, but I will not walk with you
This world has nothing to offer me
I prefer the narrow path, hard though it be
That leads me to Christ for Eternity. **BJC**
