Here you will find the Poetry and Prayers that I write, and access links to the traditional Gospel songs and Hymns of the Christian Faith of which I am a member.
So, if you are in need of a place to rest and be refreshed during your busy day, please come on in for a while. You will be blessed. 1 Corinthians 3:16 - Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you? ALL MATERIAL IS FREELY AVAILABLE FOR RE-USE!
The Minister of Music
He is a giant of man
He sets the tone for worship
And manipulates us till we can’t stand!
How is this even possible
In the great church of God
For the singing of the gospel
To turn into real bacchanal?
One day I stopped and watched as
The worship tone was set
And without a pause for reflection
It was jump up and wave as you sweat!
It was then that Barry Manilow’s "I write the song that makes the whole world sing"
Stood up in front of me
For those words were the words of Satan
Yukking it up ever so gleefully!
Making Christians rely on their emotions
Will greatly make Satan’s day
When, appearing as an angel of light
He’ll get us not written down to disobey!
It is all a great deception
Priming Christians for the fall
When they shall run into the desert
Looking for the King of All - not Jesus!
The deception is really quite simple
Set your reason aside and just feel
How wonderful it is to bow down
And worship the one who fulfills your felt needs!
Reason, my friend, is the key that
Our God stipulated that we use
When it comes to living in this life
And not trust tingling sensations that confuse!
Yon minister does not work for King Jesus
His boss is Lucifer DeVil
The arch enemy, deceiver, Old Satan
Who wants to see us all dead and in hell
Jump up and wave - feel the spirit
Not the one that Almighty God sends down
But the one being sold by the Devil
To confound, lead astray, and break you down
Fire that Minister of Music
His music comes with hell's strings attached
To the agenda as written down by Satan
To cost you your robe and your gold crown!
Our God is not a god of disorder!
Our God is not a liar nor a thief!
Our God is not willing that any should perish
That’s you and me, friend, let’s seek relief!
Let’s seek relief from our Jesus - He’s faithful
Let’s turn to Jesus - He makes the Way
Let us invite God’s Holy Spirit
To lead us and guide us - lest we stray!
Reject the hot and sweaty emotion!
Reject the need to feel fire when you pray!
Reject the urge to empty yourself with a mantra
By repeating the same phrase ad nauseum every day!
Don’t let that Music Minister fool you
Into emptying yourself so he can prey
Upon the unwitting and the unwary
So keep your head on, watch unto pray!
That fallen angel who ministered in heaven
Hates us and has a despite
Against any that makes a claim upon Jesus
And has pledged to cost us our flight!
Believe the God of the Bible
He will guide you and hallow your prayers
Remember it’s the Almighty you are serving
Reject feeling, walk by faith - not in blind sight nor in fear!
Psalm 100 King James Version (KJV)
100 Make a joyful noise unto the Lord, all ye lands.
2 Serve the Lord with gladness: come before his presence with singing.
3 Know ye that the Lord he is God: it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.
4 Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name.
5 For the Lord is good; his mercy is everlasting; and his truth endureth to all generations.
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. 2 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. 3 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.
