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!
In Times Like These, Dear Father I Desperately Need My Daily Share Of Faith And I Ask You, Lord
To Help Me Not To Think Of You As A Gift Horse
To Be Inspected To Meet My Standard And End Up A Dying Disgrace!
Father, Help Me To Repair Unto You Moment By Moment Day In And Day Out - Not Given To Turnabout - And Thereby Building A Known Grounded Experienced Relationship Filled With Daily Spiritual Overcomings That To The Brethren For Their Edifying I May Talk, Sing And Thankfully Prayer About!
Help Me, Lord And My Brethren, Likewise To Make The Sweet Psalmist's Beautiful Words The Comfort For Our Souls By Believing
Very Well, Then! We - Myself Included - Have Been Behaving Like Moral Icebergs!
Huh?!
Come Again?!
How, Pray Tell Do You Have Moral And Iceberg In The Same Sentence?!
What Is An Iceberg?!
A "Hill" Of Ice With A Mountain Of Ice Underneath!
Who Are We?!
Christians Aka Christ Followers Showing The World The Transforming Grace Of God By Our Changed Lives Gentle Speech Cooperative Manners Kindly Attitude Helping Hands
And Moral Living!
We Talk The Walk The Talk!
We "Look" Like Christians! We Use All The Buzz Words BUT ...We Are - As I Said Before - Moral Icebergs!
Our Tops And Bottoms Don't Match!
Neither Do Ours Outs And Ins!
We Are Living A Lie!
Our To-Be Bright Lights Are Giving A Dim Glow Because The Fuel Is Running Real Low Because We Don't Visit The Fuel Station To Get Real Gain To Go And Tell The World All About The Love Of Jesus That We Personally Know!
So?!
How Do You Mean ... So?!?!
I Mean ... What Do You Want Us To Do?!
I Don't Want YOU To Do Anything!
Oh, Dear!
Now You've Gone And Done It!
3 2 1 Lift Off!
Jesus Christ Gave Us Clear Words Showed Clear Ways For Us In Christian Growth To Prosper But, We Saying That We Will Walk In The World To Convert The World To The Church Are Instead Being Converted To The World!
Oooh! I Could Hurl!
Please Don't!
We Understand You! We Agree With All That You Say For The Evidence Is All Around Us And We Know That We Can No Longer Conduct God's Business
In This Unseemly Way!
Know This ...
Judgment Begins At The House Of God AND With Truth As My Light I Shall - With God's Blessing -
Correct My Shortcomings Before My Lord Christ Comes As The Unexpected Thief In The Night!
It Is Time To Rid Ourselves Of The Blight!
Let Us Be True AND STOPTELLING Others That We Are True AND START LETTING Our Faith In
AND
Obedience To The Eternal God
Be Daily Renewed
So That All Observing Us Will Know
That Our Words And Our Actions Are Tuned
By The Spirit Of The Holy God
AND
They ... Inspired
Will Desire
With The Lord Jesus Christ
Also To Commune!
Remember ...
We Are Seeking After Eternal Rewards!
I Don't Know About Anybody Else But ... I Am With You!
5 Be ye therefore followers of God, as dear children;
2 And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling savour.
3 But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not be once named among you, as becometh saints;
I Am Not A Jesus Fanatic! I Am Not A Jesus Freak! I Am A Follower Of Jesus AND That Is Something About Which I Do Not Need To Tweet! It Is No Special Action! It Is No Special Occasion! It Is No Prize Event! It Is A Statement Of Just Fact AND About Which - God Always Willing - I Shall Not Relent! Fans And Freaks Get Leased AND Unleashed! Followers Of Christ Faithful Walk Steady And Sure AND That, My Brother Sister Is Something Quite Notable For All Committed Obedient Trusting Worshiping Enduring Followers Will Follow Christ Jesus - Rights Granted - Right Through Heaven's Gate Door! Any More Questions?! No, No! Are You Sure?!
Creature On One Bright And Shining Day Took Total Leave Of His Senses AND Said ... Boldly
Coldly:
I AM
And There Is None Else!
I Will Do What I Will Do!
I WAS Created ... BUT
I AM
Evolved!
I Have No Need Of A Master
Nor That Creator God
For
I AM
My OWN Captain
I Shall Be AS God!
Creature Grew Gross Vile Contemptible Usurping The Power Of The One God AND Notably Earning The Exclamation Appellations:
"Deceiver!" "Liar!" "Fraud!" "Wannabe God!"
Creature Threw His Weight Around! He Wielded The Power Of The Air AND He Promulgated Potent Deceptions AND Caused Many Unsuspecting To Call The True And Living Eternal Creator Forgiving God Mean-Spirited Unkind AND Gratuitously Unfair AND He Did It All With Great Gusto And Flair!
Creature Made A Serious Miscalculation Which Came About
As A Result Of His Not Having Omnipotent Omniscient Omnipresent Eternal Sight!
He Killed The Son Of God Who Willingly Laid Down His Precious Life AND Readily Took It Back Up AND Is ALIVE ... Forevermore!
Creature Also Indulges In Scorched-Earth War Against The Apple Of God's Eye AND He Takes Perverse Pleasure In Seeing How Many Others He Can Cause Their Purchased Salvation To Wilfully Deny!
However You Dice And Slice It ...
The Day Is Coming When Creature - That Musician Profound - Will Face Comeuppance BECAUSE Creature Neglected To Accept Understand Believe That THE Creator IS The Everlasting Father AND Has The FINAL Say AND By His Own Counsel
In His Own Time Will Distribute To All That Are Known To Be That Are Called Creature Their Earned AND Sure To Be Paid Final Rewards!
A Creature
Is Not
Will Not
Can Not Be
God!
Brethren,
Be Not A Foolish Creature Indulging In "I Don't Care!" AND Despising Your Creator For Soon Comes Company Closed Final Check Pay Day!
Ignorance Is Not Bliss! AND Foolishness Is Not Sense! AND Trusting In Your Own Self For Salvation Is Sure To Place You In That Lake Of Fire "Ants' Nest!"
Jesus Christ Saves! The Living God Blesses! AND If You Will Turn Away From Walking Wrong AND With Broken
AND
Contrite Heart Your Sin Confess Jesus Christ Will Save You AND You Will Be Forever Blessed!
