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!
There's A Notorious, Demonic Counterfeit Of Faith That Many Of Us Practice And Don't Even Know It! It's Presumption And It Can Lead To Deadly Consequences! Adam And Eve Presumed Upon Their Creator's Great Love For Them To Save Them From Their Great Disobedience: It Didn't And We Are Living Out The Results Of Their Sin! Our Faith Claims God's Promises And Obeys His Word And Does His Will! Our Presumption Claims The Promises Expects The Gifts And Deliberately Disobeys God Daring Him To Protect Us From Our Own Folly!
We Should Not Tempt Almighty God! We Need To Be Faithful To Be Blessed!
Let's Think Straight To Be Wise ... If Stepping Out In Faith Is To Step Into The Unknown And You Are Sacrificially Loved And Blessed By And Personally Know And Are Personally Known By The One God Holy Who Makes The Unknown, Known And Who Has Promised In His Own Blood To Never Leave You Nor Forsake You How Can Your Stepping Out In Faith Be Stepping Into The Unknown!?! He Has Said Via The Inspired Word:
As Christians, We Are Asked, Called To Live By Faith ... Not By Presumptuous Sight! We Are Called To Trust In The Unseen, Holy, Eternal Faithful, Just, Kind, Merciful Giving, Forgiving Saving, Healing Sealing, Revealing Blessing ... All-Knowing All-Seeing, Ever-Present All-Feeling Creator, Redeemer, Friend-To-The-End God Of Grace Our Provider And Sustainer! Since Our God Is And Is Real Having Been To See Us And To Show Us The Way To Live To Be Blessed And Revealed The Right Way To Pray And Having Died To Save Us Still Lives And Is Presently Interceding In The Most Holy Place Of The Heavenly Sanctuary And Is Soon To Return ... He Promised For A People ... His People Prepared And Ready To Go To His Home Where He Has, Is Preparing, Places For Them Why Would We Choose ... It Is A Choice To Doubt Him At His Living And Preserved Word Which Is A Transcript Of His Holy, Unchanging, Character!?! His Mercies Showered Upon Us Are New Every Morning! The Lord God Almighty Cares For All Of His Creatures But We Are Special: We Are The Only Ones Who Are Made In His Image After His Likeness And We Are The Only Ones Who Have Sinned Against His Holy Name And We Are The Only Ones The Only Created Beings For Whom ... In Sacrificial Love He Willingly Bled And Died To Save Because His Holy Love Could Not ... Cannot ... Let Us Go To Damnation!
Soooo, What's With The Doubt Thingie!?! You Just Made My Point!
Huh!?! How!?!
You Clearly Said: "Doubt Thingie! "
That's Like Thingamabob, Thingamajig, A Whatever
Not Worthy Of Its True Handle
It's Real Name!
I Didn't Mean Anything By It!
It's Just An Expression!
Oh, Really!?!
How's About We Don't Call Sin
By Its First And Last Name
And Just Call It Cheese Danish
Chocolate Eclair
Apple Butter!?!
You Can't Do That!
And Why Not, Pray Tell!?!
That Would Be Denigrating
The Holy Word Of God
And Giving Sinners Needing The Savior The Foolish Belief That Sin Ain't No Big Deal!
Just Eat It ... And Get On About
Your Own Business!
It Ain't No Biggie!
That's Sliding Down A Slippery Slope!
Yeah!
One Gentle Push
And Off To Hell You Go!
Oh, Dear!
We Should Be Ashamed Of Ourselves! We Need To Confess And Repent Of Our Sin! We Need To Have Contrite Hearts And We Need, Now, Today From Known Sin To Aggressively Depart! Doubting Damns So From Doubting We Must Depart! Jesus Christ Saves ... To The Uttermost! Know The Right ... By Faith No Sin Is Too Low To Confess No Sorrow Too Great For His Comfort! No Need Is Too Broad For Satisfaction And No Hope Is Too Far-Fetched To Fulfil According To His Will
Because
Jesus Christ Says That
We Are His Own By Creation
And
By Redemption
And
That We Do Not Travel In This Dark World Alone!
Jesus Christ The King Calls! Jesus Christ The Righteous Answers! Jesus Christ The Redeemer ... Saves!
The Holy Spirit Guides And Chides And Comforts
And
The Holy Angels Surround And Protect
And
Influence Us To Do The Good And The Right!
We Should Dare To Be Bold
On This Pilgrim Journey!
Our God Is Real, Reigning, And Returning!
Our Savior Is Righteous And Redeeming!
Our Redeemer Is Revealing And Sealing!
Our Creator Is Providing And Sustaining!
Our Shepherd Is Leading And Feeding!
The Lord Christ ... Prince Shiloh
Is
Our Perfect Peace!
Brethren,
Salvation By Faith Is Personal So I Speak For Myself
And With The Attitude Of The Saints
Who Have Gone To Their Rest:
My God Is Real!
Though He Slay Me, Yet Will I Trust Him!
I Know That My Redeemer Lives
And
If Almighty God Is For Me
Who Could Be Against Me!?!
Before His Glorious Throne Of Grace Let Us, In Working, Waiting, Watching, Faith Humbly, Expectantly, Enduringly Kneel Before Our Maker And Our God Eternal!
Jesus Christ Promised Me A Home In His Father's House
All-Absorbing Selfishness Met Self-Denying Endurance And Instantly Despised Him!
Self-Denying Endurance Met All-Absorbing Selfishness - A Lost Soul Willing To Destroy Everything And Anything That Came Between Him And His Lust For Fame For Fortune For Sensual Gratification For Power For Praise For The Preeminence In All Things At All Times No Matter The Costs To Others - And He Felt A Pitying Love For Him!
All-Absorbing Selfishness Saw And Interpreted The Look And Felt A Consuming Hatred For This Minion
Who Loved People ... Not Things And Who Strove Conscientiously Working While It Was Day Loving The Life Of Light Compliments The Light Of Life And Not The Delicious Shadows Of The Darkest Of Nights Where Pleasures Innumerable Strode!
Self-Denying Endurance Extended His Hand And Spoke Gently.
The Answering Response Was Vulgarly Rude!
Endurance Did Not Take Offense!
Selfishness Became Incensed!
Endurance Benignly Smiled!
Selfishness Became Fighting Mad And A Few Utensils Were Bent! A Couple Bowls Were Broken!
Endurance Was Unfazed Even Though A Flying Sliver Of Glazed Clay Had His Face Grazed!
Selfishness Was Red In The Face His Chest Heaving! He Called Upon The False Gods Visible But It Appeared They Were Eating Sleeping Gone On A Long Trip Blind Deaf Dumb Solidly Immobile And To Endurance's Way Of Thinking Fantastically Aka Utterly Useless!
Endurance Spoke Up
When Selfishness Gave Up In Defeat:
Perhaps You Should Call On The God Living Who Is The Shepherd Good The Physician Great Of Salvation The Rock The Tower Strong The Hope Certain Of Peace The Provider Of Rest, Sure!
I Do Not Need Another God!
That's Quite True!
You Only Need The Holy God! Those To Whom You Petition Are Decorating Your Life With Sure Damnation!
That ... Is Defamation!
That, My Brother Is The Plain Truth Declaration!
I Declare That I Don't Like You!
I Say To You That I Love You And I Desire ... By The Mercies Of The Eternal God That Your Soul ... By His Love May Be Eternally Saved!
There's Nothing Eternal! Not My Possessions Not My Power Not My Prestige Not Even My Life!
Very True!
Pardon Me!?! Don't You Know How The Polite Game Is Played!?!
I Sure Do But I Don't Indulge In Fairy Tales!
You're A Very Strange Person! You May Draw Closer And Tell Me Your Story!
Very Well!
My Story Is All About Christ Jesus The Loving Savior Who Died To Save Me! My Story Is About The Good Shepherd Who Through Green Pastures To Still And Living Waters Do Daily Safely Guide Me!
My Story Is About The High Priest Of My Confession The One Who In Heaven's Temple In The Most Holy Place Is Advocating Interceding For Me!
My Story Is About My Friend My Lord My King My God My Creator My Redeemer My Provider My Hope And My Help The One Faithful Kind Blessing Loving Giving And Forever True The One Who Loves Me Personally The One Who Truly Loves You ...!
... Loves Me!?!
Loves You Eternally!
But Why!?! I Know I Don't Know Him! We Have Never Met! I Know I've Never Seen Him Because On Every Good God Worth Knowing My Eyes Have On Their Faces Been Set!
If I May Say So, Friend That Is Your Problem I Fear!
My God Loving Is Invisible Seen Only Through The Eye Of Faith And He, It Is, Is The One Only Who Causes Us To Be Beneficiaries Of Loving Grace!
The Only Grace I Know Is A Lady Of The Night!
Oh, Dear!
You Speak Truth! She's Very Expensive!
Cough! Cough!
Selfishness, My New Friend Let Me Introduce To The Man Who Gives Grace For Free!
Wow!
She Told Me I Had To Give Her An Annuity!
Please Focus On What I'm Saying!
Faith Grace And Mercy Love And Truth Peace And Rest Forgiveness And Salvation Are Free
And
Freely Available Gifts To Me To You To Us From The Invisible God!
Ask ... And It Shall Be Given! Seek ... And You Shall Find!
Knock At His Door And He'll Open It!
Truth Be Told
He Is The Door
And
He's Open To You Right Now!
He's Knocking ... Even Now At Your Heart's Door! Please Let Him In!
Are You Joshing Me!?!
Heaven Forbid It!
Are You Serious!?!
I Sure Am!
What's It Going To Cost Me!
It's Gotta Cost Something!
It Will Cost You Your Heart
Your Will Your Way Your Trust Your Obedience Your Endurance Your Very Life!
This Is Not Possible! I'd Prefer To Give Money!
He Doesn't Need Your Money!
He Needs Your Time And Your Talents! He Has Work For You To Do!
Work!?! That Means A Pay Check! How Much And For How Long!?!
Let's See ...
Eternal Life Personal Mansion New Name White Robe Gold Crown Harp Of Gold Country House Water Of Life Tree Of Life Walks On Streets Made Of Purest Gold Seeing Him Face To Face Incorruptibility Immortality Eternal Life ...!
... You Said That Twice!
It Tasted Nice The First Time So I Had To Get A Second Taste!
You Actually Sound As Though You Believe The Word Of Your God!
I Do Because It's True!
I Wish I Could Believe Like That Instead Of Going Through Useless Motions Exercising False Emotions!
He Can Do It For You!
Just Call On Him And He Will Answer You And He Will Show You Great Things About Which You Know Nothing!
Don't I Need A Reason ...!?!
... He Says To All
Come ... Let Us Reason Together!
I Can Reason From Cause To Effect!
With Him, You May Reason And By So Doing You May Become One Of His Few Chosen His Very Elect!
Elect As In Election!?!
Indeed!
Never Mind! He Must Be A Politician!
No, He's Not! He's Not A Man That He Should Lie Nor The Son Of Man That He Should Be Variable Constantly Changing His Mind!
If That Is True He's Got To Be Real!
He's Real! He's Righteous! He's Giving And Forgiving! He's Faithful Just And True And He Desires Your Love!
He's The Blessing God And Desires Personal Communion With You!
I Know Desire!
It's Not That Kind Of Desire! He's The Only Holy God
And You're Unique, Irreplaceable And He Desires To Have You Make Your Home In His Father's House Where All Is Truth Where The Emotion Is Holy Love Where The Atmosphere Is Peace And Truly Restful!
May I Speak To Him!?!
You Surely May!
Just Speak As You Would To A Dear Friend And Do Not Repeat The Same Thing Over And Over As The Heathens Do When They Pray!
Even As You Speak Also Take Time To Listen! He Sacrificially Loves
Brethren,Please Do Not Let Your B-LTO Turn In The BLOT! It Will Not Be Good For You! For Any Of Us!
Sir, What Is A B-LTO!?!
I Want To Know What Is The BLOT!
Before I Proceed Is There Anyone Else Who Did Not Do Their Homework!?!
Let's See! Ahhh, The Usual Suspects!
Okay. Who Can Tell Us All What Is A, The, Our B-LTO And Could A Second Person Explain The BLOT!
Yes! Master Darcy!
Sir, The B-LTO Transcribed Is Belief Love Trust And Obedience! These Four Attributes Are Pertinent To The Christian's Walk
Along The Straight And Narrow Way Of Salvation Which Leads The Enduring-All-Things Saint
To Christ's Redemption Row On The Great Day Of Small Things!
And You, Hilly!?!
Without Belief, Love, Trust And Obedience The B-LTO Becomes, Not Turns Becomes The BLOT! The BLOT Is A Two-Fold Application! Men Become Lost Over Time And With The Passage Of Time All Men Found Lacking - Because They See No Need For
Repentance And Reformation - Become Men Twice Lost Because The Lord Christ - Instead Of Blotting Out Their Confessed And Repented Of Sins - Will BLOT Their Names Out Of The Lamb's Book Of Life! The End Result Is The Lake Burning With Brimstone And Fire! The Great Conflagration!
Well Said, Both Of You!!
Let Us Now Look At John 16:14!
Can A Christian Refuse Their Portion Of The B-LTO And Still Apply For Gift In John 16:24!?!
Please Think Carefully On This Question
Since You Call Yourselves Children
Servants
Students Of The Living Holy Faithful
Giving Blessing Redeeming Eternal God!
Think Also On This ...
Along With The Call To Salvation Is The Request For Us Of The Household Of Faith To Trust The Lord Enough
Trust The Lord Sufficiently
And
Always Hopefully To Ask ... Nothing Waivering ... For Our Blessings Abundant!
Would You Trust ... In Your Darkest Night
The God Of All Grace That
You Cannot With Your Own Eyes See!?!
The Truth Of The Matter Is ...
With Our Daily Portion Of Jesus Christ's Holy Faith
We Can Close Our Carnal Eyes To The World
The Sorrows Of This Life
The Burdens That We Bear
The Blights That Would Our Souls Sear
And
We Can Wholeheartedly Trust His Loving Heart
And
Humbly ... With Grateful Hearts Ask For Blessings Promised
Because
His Mighty Hand Is Everlastingly Able!
There Is Not One Without The Other!
I Beseech You, Therefore, Brethren ...
Believe ... The Promises Of The Promissor
Love ... The Lord Of Life Who Gives Eternal Life
Trust ... His Sacrificial Love For Us And His Known Faithfulness To Us
It Is Sad To See BUT Sad To Say It Was It Is Inevitable!
Rejecting Reproof ... From Small Was Indulged Over-Indulged AND Thought Herself Himself Themselves The Cats Meow The Daily Special The Flavor Of The Month The Trip Of A Lifetime!
Lie!!
Rejecting Reproof - That Rebel Without A Cause - Was A Soldier Without A Clue Following Not A. Friend Arch-Deceiver Prideful Fiend, Who Slew The Son Of God AND Is Gleefully Hoping To Slay Me And You, Too!
It Isn't As Though Rejecting Reproof Wasn't Warned! He Was! Numerous Times!
But ...
As Is The Case Of The Willful The Wayward
AND The Wandering Who Know Better Than The Almighty God Rejecting Reproof Took Daily Counsel From That Mind That Hates The Eternal God!
Things Were Good ... Seemingly! Profits Were Perfect ... Supposedly! Joy Was Full ... Empty, I'd Say Because One Beautiful Day ... To Me, At Least Rejecting Reproof Married Loss Of Honor!
He Did A King Saul ... Boldly!
So Much For Knowing Truth For Knowing The God Who Is Truth From Your Youth!
Sigh ...
Loss Of Honor IS IS IS A. Hussy An. Harlot A. Temple Whore Who Has No Compunction About Giving De Carnal Heart A Gore!
A Little Temptation ... Here! A Little Tease ... There! And ... Before Rejecting Proof Knew It He Did The Prophet Of God's Garment Tear!
Comeuppance Was Coming! Of That, You Can Be Sure For Disobedience Has A Price AND The Cost To Self Is Never Nice!
Wha' Sweeten De Goat Long Mout'
Does Bu'n 'e En 'e Short Tail!
The Beginning Of The Last Day For Rejecting Reproof Came Without Fail!
Rejecting Reproof's Marriage To Loss Of Honor - Long On The Skids -
The Day Before Had Failed AND One Single Dark-Night Visit To Wanda Which The Witch Saw Rejecting Proof Standing - Actually Lowered - In The Eyes Of The Lord Ashamed! He Was, In Essence Not Wearing A Stitch!
It Was The Day ... Inevitable - Battling Life From All Sides - That Rejecting Reproof Forever Died!
Rejecting Reproof Boldly Hooked His Star To Loss Of Soul AND His Descent To Damnation Was Hot!
Lukewarm!
Cold!
Warning ...
Doing Your Do Does Damage As Doing Your Do Against God ... MUST For You Are Not Your Own So Doing Your Own Do Must
Assuredly Be A Bust!
Lucifer Tried
AND
Miserably Failed AND, YOU - Made A Little Lower Than An Angel - Will, Too So Accept The Lord's Prohibitions Because He Sacrificially Loves AND Blessedly Cares For Fallen Man Aka Me And You!
Fact, Not Faction Nor Fiction ...
There Is No Return From Loss Of Soul So Don't Be Ignorant Of The Truth! Loss Of Honor May Put You In A Grave BUT Loss Of Soul Is A Permanent Bath In The Consuming Prepared-For-Satan Fire And Brimstone Lake!
Don't Make That Mistake!
Tek De "No!" From Almighty God AND Humbly Grow ... In Grace AND In The Fullness Of Time
- In Glorious Peace - You Shall See The Glorious King's Face!
