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!
Why Should Your Personal Choice Affect My Free Will?! Why Should Your Freedom To Make Foolish Even Egregiously Bad Decisions Cost Me My Life?! AND, FURTHERMORE Have You Even Considered How Each Person's Free Will Each Person's Free AND Personal Choice AND "No Man Knows The Day Nor The Hour
WHEN The Son Of Man Cometh!"Intersect?!
I Once Heard A Pastor Say That Because He Is So Certain Of His Soul's Sure And Promised Salvation That He Would Not Defend Himself Against An Intruder A Bandit Even If It Cost Him His Life Because It Could Lead To - AFTER His Demise - That Bold And Ravening Sinner Repenting Of Known Sin AND Coming To Jesus AND Being Saved For Eternity!
Maybe He Was Thinking Of What Jesus Said:
Greater Love Hath No Man
But He That A Man Lay Down His Life For His Friends!
And I Would Say That He Is Wrong?!
I Agree! Work Out Your Own Soul's Salvation!
Jesus Christ's Life Is The Only Life That Was
That Is
The Suitable Sacrifice For Sin!
Everybody Knows Right From Wrong! God's Law Is Written On Every Man's Heart So That They Are Without Excuse!
But What Of Innocent Blood As Seed?!
Indeed ...!
So We Come To The Crux Of The Matter ...
Tomorrow Is Not Promised! Now Is The Acceptable Time! Now ... Is The Day Of Salvation!
What Of The Martyrs?!
What About If We Confess Our Sin He Is Faithful And Just To Forgive Us Our Sin And Cleanse Us From ALL Unrighteousness?!
What About If Any Man Hear My Voice And Answer?!
What About Harden Not Your Heart?!
What Of
Get Wisdom!
Get Understanding?!
What Of
Let Us Hear The Conclusion Of THE WHOLE MATTERFear God And Keep His Commandments For The Living God IS Judge?!
What Of
My Reward Is With Me To Give Everyman According As His Personal Work Shall Be?!
Harden Not Your Hearts!
Be Ye Holy As Your Father Is Holy!
Blood As Seed Works While God's Mercy Is Still Working! It Won't Work When Man's Probation Is Finished!
This, Somehow
- To Me - Smacks Of A Certain Level Of Presumption ...!
... Just Like Death Bed Confessions And Death Bed Repentances!
Too, True!
Man Looks At The Outward Appearance!
Almighty God Looks At The Man's Heart!
Think About This:
You Stab A Man In His Heart ... Deliberately AND THENPlead With Him Not To Die ... As You Try To Save Him From Dying!
That's Presumptuous!
We Need To Confess Our Known Sin And Repent To God Every Day
In Jesus Christ's Name For No Man Knows The Day Nor The Hour WHEN The Son Of Man Cometh
Is All That I'm Going To Say!
Be Careful Ye That Think Ye Stand Lest Ye Fall!
No Man Should Take A Stance Like That Pastor!
We Daily Sin
By Thought Word And Deed
AND
We Need To Remember The Word:
Every Man Has The Same Opportunity
AND
We Should Remember That
The Soul That Sins
It Shall Die
AND
Unconfessed Sin Is Sin ... Unforgiven!
Any Final Thoughts ...
By Thy Word, Thou Art Justified! By Thy Word, Thou Art Condemned!
I Sincerely Believe That That Pastor's Idea Is Heaven-Daring Arrogance!
Nowhere In Scripture Will You Find A Saint Of God Presuming Upon God's Mercy In Such An Unseemly Manner!
We Are To Give Up Fleeting Things For Christ
And For The Sake Of The Gospel!
We Do Not ... In My Personal Opinion Have The Right Nor The Power To Decide That Our Life Is God's Seed
And Be Hopeful Of Something That In All Likelihood May Never Happen!
No Criminal Ever Said Or Will Ever Say:
I Shall Go And Kill Me A Good Christian Man
A Man Sure Of His Soul's Salvation
A Heaven-Bound Saint
And God ...
The Living Eternal God Of All Grace
Who Pays All
BUT
Is Paid By The Wilful Desire Of The Christian
To Be A Human Christ
AND
Who Knows The Thoughts
AND
Intents Of The Desperately Wicked Human Heart
Is Going To
- In Servile Cooperation
For This "Once Saved Always Saved" Man's Willing Sacrifice -
Convert Me
And Save My Soul
From The Second Death
Even Though I Am Wilfully Sinning
AND
Have Repeatedly, Flagrantly, Scorned His Free Grace
AND
Have Purposefully Chosen
The Way Wherein Lies
Death!
You Ain't Lie!
Wouldn't It Be Easier For The Christian In Faith For Faith To Pray:
God Have Mercy!
Save Me!
And Then Say To That Wilful Sinner:
In The Name Of Jesus Christ The Righteous
Stop!?
The Apostle Paul Consented To Murder AND By His Zealous Wrong-Headed Efforts Caused Many Christians To Perish!
Jesus Christ, Himself Met The Then-Called Saul - On His Way To Harm More Christians - AND Asked Him Why He Was Persecuting Not The Christians But Christ, Indeed AND Blinded Him AND Cast Down His Vain Imaginings AND Caused Him To Walk In Physical Blindness For Three Days - The Same Time That Christ Had Lain In A Sinner's Grave - To Ultimately Give Him Spiritual Eyesight!
He Repented
AND Was Converted AND
Physical Scales - At The Appointed Time - Fell From His Eyes
AND He Became
The Ultimate Warrior For Christ!
Paul Was Humbled AND
He Humbled Himself!
Not Once Did He Say:
I Shall Let Them - The Adversaries - Kill Me So That They - By My Personal Sacrifice - WILL Be Saved!
Paul Did All To Preserve His Life!
Paul Did Not Indulge In Heaven-Daring Arrogance Because He Had "An In ... An Inside Track To God!"
That Faithful Apostle
At His Life's End
Said:
Paul Trusted The Lord AND The Word Of The Lord AND He Chose To LIVE For His Jesus AND ... WORK ARDENTLYFor The Salvation Of Dying-In-Sin Dying-Through-Sin Men's Souls!
The Point Here Is ...
As Jesus Christ Asked The Murmuring Pharisees:
Which Is Easier?
To Say
Son, Thy Sins Be Forgiven Thee!
OR
Take Up Thy Bed And Walk!?!
Which In This Case, Is
Dare To Die For The Sinner
Who Will Perhaps Not Be Saved AND You, Yourself, Are Probably Also Lost Because We Sin Daily By Thought Word Deed OR Dial-Up Yourself Your Saving Jesus By Fervent Prayer AND Request The Angel Guard While Also Requesting That The Holy Spirit Meet The Evil-Doer Face To Face!
Brethren,
If You Say You Trust Believe Worship Praise Obey Honor
AND Glorify Almighty God In Your Person Do It All Day Every Day In Every Way In Every Situation!
There Ain't No Back-Door To Heaven! There Ain't No Special Pass-By-Here For Saints!
The Door To Heaven Is Jesus Christ The Lord!
AND The Key To The Door Is Living Faith!
The Way IS Straight And Narrow For We Must Live By Christ - The Way The Truth And The Life - AND We Are Not To Do Anything That Will Cause Us To Lose Our Crown AND That Free ... To All REPENTANT SINNERS Eternal Life!
Brethren,
I Caution You
AND Myself I Am Certainly Including:
Check Yourself Before You Wreck Yourself!
Let Us Ever Seek Out The Will Of Almighty God For Our Lives!!
Be Faithful ... Unto Death! Don't Call Death Unto You!
What Is Our Watch-Word?!
Jesus Saves ... To The Uttermost!
Please Do All
To Grow In Daily Grace
Through Your Working Faith For, Soon
- Very Soon - We Shall See Jesus Christ Face To Face!
Sin is All Around Us! Sin Goes By Very Many Fanciful Names! Sin Wears Sophisticated Garments, and Struts About - Day and Night Wearing Expensive Dark Glasses Sun Shades! Sin Is Familiar To Sinners! Sin Is Well-known To Now-Saints! Sin Is On The Commodity Market, and Sin Is Even Carrying Holding Out Church Offering Plates! Sin Has An Advertising Agency! Sin Has A Merchandising Team! Sin Has An Electronic Game Board! Sin Holds State Town Country City Elections! Sin Has Rockets, Horses, Jets and Gold-plated Banana Peels, and Sin Is A Beautiful "Circumspect" Woman Wearing Expensive Garments and High Heels! Sin Has Friends and Enemies which State Makes No Difference To Sin! Sin Is Really Wicked Unjust! Sin Lives Laughs and Lures The Unwary With Lust, and When They Are Lost Asks Maliciously: "Well, Now? What's Created This Great Big Little Fuss!" Sin Is A Malignancy! Sin Is As Cancer In Man's Flesh! When Sin Is Conceived Sin Burrows Sin Crawls Sin Spreads Sucking Life's Blood Strangling Vitality 'n Life Trying It's Best To Kill The Host Though Knowing Full Well That Killing The Host Will Kill Sin Dead As The Proverbial Door-Post! "Big Deal!" says Sin "There're More Like Them Waiting On Cracking Tree Limbs To Perform My Vice!" "I AM Sin!" I AM The Master Of Deception! I AM The Pretty Polished Poseur Peddling Posies from Putrid to Plain!" "I AM The Purveyor Of Phantasms Poison Parties Pens and Pins, and Pointy Pebbles Poking Pinkie-Toes And ... Believe It Or Not My Personal Favorite Has Got To Be Rusty Nails In Ill-fitting Shoes With Hidden In Plain View Open Holes!" "I Do Not Care About You! I Just Want To Destroy You and Keep You From Holding On To The Holy Christ Jesus The Only Savior Who Sacrificially Loves Man!" "Seriously, Friend! I Really Do Not Care About You! I Just Want You and Me To Special-Touch! I Just Want You To Hold-Squeeze Me! I Want You To Trustingly Loyally Lovingly Console Enfold Me!"
I once let My Eye Lead Me Down The Primrose Garden Path And when The Journey was all over I had purchased for Myself a Golden Calf! My Eye had an annoying habit Of buying what did My stomach overfill And it always left me feeling Like I was a trussed-up chicken waiting For the Butcher to come and kill! You would think that I would acquire some Commonsense But you would be wrong on that very score I again let My Eye make another purchase And Hell came knocking trying to break down My front door!
Lord, if ever I needed You
Today would be The Day
Please Help Me for
Devil Dog and You Ate Bought It
Are playing "We Got A Covetous Pup To Make Pay!"
Lord, I know that I have been Seriously Lawless
But I finally have had My Fill
Lust of This Flesh
Lust of My Eye
Pride of This Life
Have been holding sway
But if You would condescend to help a Foolish One
I promise to live My Life evermore as You Command
Help Me, for I'm about to be undone!
"Child, rescuing You is No Condescension
When Lifting You up is My Sacrificial Goal
Repent, turn away, walk on in My Light
And soon You Will Walk on The Eternal Shore.
Turn, turn, away from The Dead Things
The Dying Joys of The World
Come to Me - I AM Your Savior
With Me Life Ends in Great Reward!"
From That Day until This Day On which we are conversing I have put My Shoulder to the Gospel Plow And by God's Grace and a Living Faith I'm Walking Straight and Behaving like Chubby, The Contented Cow!
Iniquity abounds
Thou knowest that God frowns
Remember that at Noah's time people drowned
This time fire will rain down.
I get very frightened
When I hear people speak dismissively of God
They speak as though God is a Mock-man
And Satan is someone of whom one can be proud.
I feel my skin go clammy
I feel my eyes dilate
I tremble when I hear them speaking of Almighty God
With much disdain and real hate!
Oh, Lord, have mercy upon your people
The Minions of Hell are no more on a secret rampage
For those who should have been teaching Truth to the People
Have sold Believers and Seekers out for desire of food, fame and really high wage!
Lust of the Flesh
Lust of the Eye
The Pride of Life - Real strokes of genius
Tried and true - Satan tried them out on the Lord
Jesus quoted Satan The "It is Written" - he fled
Judas didn't - and he will be eternally dead.
As for me, I'm trying to get God's Holy Word inside this heart and head.
God's People!
Don't give up the Journey to Salvation
Don't lie down and play dead because of a setback that you felt
Was a deal breaker between you and The Great Creator!
God can will save you IF you go to Him in prayer, and confess, and repent.
Pray to God the Father in the Name of The Son - King Jesus
Go to Him under God The Holy Spirit's Agency
This Godhead ever abides
Don't believe Old Satan's lies
For Living Fire will consume those
Who choose Living The High Life instead of Eternal Life
Which comes from accepting Jesus' Sacrifice and not living for feelings, fun and favorite buys!
All told, That Day Coming will be Momentous!
Stupendous!
Glorious!
The Faithful Dead and Living will Rise!
The Not Rising Up will cry and die
After saying: "He IS Real, and we are not saved!"
But it will be ... too late
For
High Flown Knowledge Education cost them Eternal Life -
They chose Satan for their Forever Date Mate.
