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!
How Are We Going To Get There!?! Safely! Who Is Our Guide!?! Jesus The Christ!?! Who Or What Is Our Adversary!?! Satan, Sin ... And Self!?! What Are Our Weapons!?! Faith, Obedience, And Prayer!?! Who Will Protect Us!?!
The Holy Angels Excelling In Strength!
Who Is Our Teacher!?! The Holy Spirit Of Truth! Where Shall We Shelter!?! In The Secret Place Of Prayer! What Is Our Caution!?! Remember Lot's Wife: Do Not Look Back! What Is Our Necessary Food!?! The Eternal Word Of The Living God! The Living Word Of The Eternal God! What Shall We Guard Against!?! The Spirit Of Error!?! What Shall We Embrace!?! The Spirit Of Truth! What Are We To Worry About!?! Nothing! What Should We Pray About!?! Everything! Why Should We Pray And Not Worry!?! We Are Christians ... Christ's Followers And We Are Charged To Pray And Not Faint! We Are Not Worry Because Worrying Speaks Of Doubt! Why Should We Avoid Doubt! Doubt Is Of The Devil! We Believe In The Living God In Whom We Have Faith! Faith Holds No Doubt! We Are, By His Grace, Faithful! Is The Journey Home Going To Be Easy!?! No, It Is Not! The Lord Never Promised Us An Easy Road! The Lord Promised Us That We Shall Arrive Safely! But ... What If We Should Die On The Road Home!?! That Is Not A Problem! The Lord Has Promised That If We Live In Him ... Exercising Our Gift Of Faith Enduring All Things Without Murmuring Without Complaining And Endure The Struggle To The End Of Life We Shall Rise Up When He Shall Come At The Sound Of The Last Trumpet To Live With Him Forevermore! The Lord's Word ... The Transcript Of His Character Is His Covenant With Us: We Believe The Word Of God!?! What Can Stop Us From Reaching Home Safely! Turning Aside To Fables Trusting Man's Opinion Over Almighty God's Word Refusing To Abide In The "Thus Saith The Lord!" Being Willful Being Disobedient Being Proud Being Covetous And Like Kindred Errors! What Are The Three Tests That We Shall Face!?! The Same Tests As Did Jesus Christ Our Lord: The Lust Of The Eye The Lust Of The Flesh And The Pride Of Life! Our Eyes Are Focused And Fixed On Our Lord! Our Flesh, By Our Hearts, Is Abiding In Almighty God! We Have Nothing To Be Proud About! We Are Sinners Saved By The Lord's Grace And It Is Our Intention ... With Willing Obedience Abiding Love And Faithful Endurance To See Him Face To Face ... In Peace Without Any Stain Of Disgrace! Hear The Right ... The Lord Is My Shepherd My Refuge, My Strength He Leads Me Into Green Pastures And My Thinking Of Him Are Thoughts Well Spent! Many Are My Foes But My Friend Is The Holy One! My Burdens For Me Are Heavy But My Friend Carries Every Last One! I Believe That The Lord Is And I Trust Him With My Life! My Life Is Hid With Christ In Almighty God And Because I Live In Him I Shall Not Fall For The Satanic Device!
Living For Self
Is As Bearing
An Unliftable Cross!
Some Truth Is All Error! Some Love Is All Hate! Some Disobedience Is All Witchcraft And No Gainsaying Person Shall Enter Heaven's Gates! I Desire Oil, Water And Fire: The Oil Of Gladness The Cleansing Flood And The Heat Of Purification All Of Which Come Only From The Holy God On High From The God Of All Grace Whom ... By His Blessed Grace For Me I Shall Not Defy I Shall Not Deny! The God Of Grace Cannot Lie! I Do Not Walk This Life Alone! I Am A Child Of The Great King! Prayer Is My Telephone! I Need No Tokens, No Cards, No Access Codes! I Start With A Humble Heart Longing For Him! From His Love, I Shall Never Depart!
Those Who Choose To Walk In The Faith Of The Lord Jesus
Though Molested, Tried, Tempted, Tormented
Abused And Disregarded By The Society Of The Wicked
Shall Reap The Reward Of The Righteous
- Everlasting Peace And Joy In And With The Lord -
As Long As They Remain Enduringly Faithful In Their Pilgrim Walk!
Bad Things Happen To Good People: Be Faithful!
Good Things Happen To Bad People: Watch Them Enjoy It
- No Sorrow On Your Part -
For That Enjoyment Shall Cease Forever At Their Demise!
Do You Really Have The Gall
To Ask Such A Question!?!
Yes, I Do!
Now, Answer The Question!
Very Well!
She Was In Here Using Some Language
That No One Wanted To Hear!
Does That "No One" Include You!?!
Well, Yes, Sorta, Kinda ...!
Please Explain!
We Were Talking About Working For The Lord And Telling The World The Good News
And I Guess We Got Carried Away
Romanticizing The Journey And Minimizing The Effort Required
To Do A Good Work To Hasten The Great Day
When She, She, She Just Exploded!
She Started Talking About
Self-Denial
Self-Sacrifice
Self-Crucification
And All That Hurtful, Painful Stuff!
Oh, You Mean She Got Beyond
The Televangelist Fluff Of
Fully Equipped Television Studio
Smooth Riding Elite-Class Private Jet
Armed Body-Guards
Fawning Followers
Quarterly Vacations
Lavishly Appointed Primary, Secondary
And Tertiary Homes
Servants Innumerable
Vicuna Wool
Silk Sheets
Diamond Watches
Custom-Made Fragrances
Personal Chefs
Personal Trainers And ...!
... How ... How Did You Know!?!
Been There, Done That!
The Devil
Is
The Liar Baiting The Servants Of The Lord
Telling Them That
If
They Do Things His Way
Great ... Will Be Their Reward
And
Many Of Us Are Falling Into The Trap!
But, Why!?!
Just As Man Recoils From
The Thought And Sight Of Death
Man Recoils From Perceived Pain
And
Assumed Deprivation!
We Have Gotten Away From The Source Of
Our Strength
Our Hope
Our Help
Our Salvation
And
We Have Forgotten
Or Have Willfully Chosen To Ignore The Fact That
He Whom We Serve Pointed The Way
And
It Was Dusty And Dirty
Filled With Self-Denial
Replete With Abuse
Absent Comforts And Ease
Built On Prayer
And
Constant Communication With Father
And
No Comfy Chair!
Simply Put ...
Obedience To The Will Of The Father
Was The Savior's Air!
He Did Not Put On Airs And Indulge Graces!
He Did Not Have An Inside Track With The Leaders Of His Day!
He Was Not In A Back-Pat Relationship
With The Local Bank President
And
He Did Not Have Five Changes Of Clothing Per Day!
He Slept In The Open Air!
He Was Despised And Rejected
But
His Prayers Were Never Neglected!
He Did Not Choose The Easy Road
And
He Submitted His Will To His Father - The Ancient Of Days -
And
He Was Crucified
And
He Was Laid In A Borrowed Grave!
That Borrowed Grave Alone
Should Tell You Everything You Need To Know About
Doing A Self-Denying, Self-Sacrificing Work
While Serving A Self-Sacrificing Holy God!
I Don't Understand!
What Do You Mean!?!
Was Jesus Wealthy!?!
No!
Did Jesus Advance-Purchase A Grave!?!
No!
Can You Really Borrow A Grave!?!
No!
Don't You, Yourself, Pay Back What You Borrow!?!
Yes!
Can A Dead Man Do Anything!?!
Of Couse Not!
Is Jesus Christ Still In The Borrowed Grave!?!
Of Course Not!
He's In Heaven
- In The Most Holy Place Of The Heavenly Sanctuary -
Interceding For Us!
Do You Believe In And Trust Jesus!?!
Of Course, I Do!
So, My Young Friend
What, Now, Are You Understanding!?!
It's Not An Easy Road
But With Jesus Christ For Me
With Jesus Christ Beside Me
With Jesus Christ Directing My Traffic
I Will Rise Up To Live With Him
Even If I Get Placed In A Borrowed Grave!
The Grave Cannot Hold Me: I'm His
And The Work Isn't About Me
Or My Comfort
Or My Status In The Eyes Of The Blind World!
I Am Here To Work
For The Love Of My Master
And I Must ...!
... Must!
Good Word! I Like It!
I Must Look Up To Live
Because Looking In Will Mean My Death!
I, Now, Really, Truly, Understand!
In And Down!
Out And Up!
If I Look Inward ... I Fall Downward!
When I Look Outward ... I Rise Upward!
I Accept That Striving On And For
A Horizontal Plain-Prize
Will Not Cause Me To Have Strong Spiritual Muscles!
Even If I Win ... I Lose!
Well Said!
Please Take This To Heart
And
Always Remember That
A Butterfly Struggles Mightily To Get Out Of His Cocoon
