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!
Lord, where’s My Soup?
You said cast your bread upon the water
And this I gladly did
You said it would soon return to me
And, yes, I am eating my fill!
But, Lord, there must be some mistake
For in my understanding
Putting bread in water to soak
Should give me soup upon the landing!
Bread on water multiplies -
Soup is the resulting
And I know when soup is made
Inclusions make for great-tasting multiplying!
Soup does not one ingredient make
I know for I made some the other day!
There was chicken, sweet potato and English, too
Carrots, beans, cabbage, an onion or two
Sweet pepper, marjoram, thyme and parsley galore
And Gran’other dumplings
Lord, a treat was in store!
My soup even had in Split Peas and more
And a dash of sugar so the peas wouldn’t make my stomach sore
Lovely pumpkins, and a few dried pepper flakes
And a dash of sea salt, for old savory’s sake!
Now, Lord, You know that I speaking true!
Where de soup You promised, Father?
I’m depending on You!
Lord, I am not ungrateful for the bread
Some people don’t have any
And I know I could be dead!
But, Believer I am, Your’s is the word I trust
Maybe I’m getting anxious
Hence all this lotta fuss!
But, this my heart speaks -
I don’t covet nor lust
Cast bread upon water makes soup for certain sure
I have my bib, bowl and spoon ready
Lord, when You gine pour?
14 Now therefore fear theLord, and serve him in sincerity and in truth: and put away the gods which your fathers served on the other side of the flood, and in Egypt; and serve ye theLord.
15 And if it seem evil unto you to serve the Lord, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.
Walking with the Lord Jesus Christ must be an act of the Will for we cannot inherit our walk with the Lord from our parents, nor can it be passed on to us by association, nor by associating with Christ-followers.
We must make the decision, out of the intellect, to, this very day, and each and every day hereafter, to walk in the Light of God's Love if we desire to be saved to Eternal Life.
We must come to the realization that we need to - every single day that we breathe - consciously make the decision to give over our will and our way, to the care and safekeeping of The Creator God who loved - and loves - us enough to have sent His Only Begotten Son to become sin for us, and to die on that shameful tree, so that we might have abundant life. John 10:10 The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.
Jesus Christ stated that He had to be lifted up, as Moses' brazen serpent, so that by so doing, He would draw all men to Himself.
John 3:14 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up:
John 12:32 And I, when I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all people to myself."
It, therefore, must be understood, that as those who had been bitten in the desert by the vile serpent, because of sin, had to look upon the replica of the serpent to be healed, we, too, must look UP on the Crucified Jesus who became sin for us, and confess, and repent of our sin, so that we may be saved.
Jesus Christ is still calling, and drawing mankind to Himself. Won't you answer His call that you may be saved?
Look upon Jesus, sinless is He
Author: Franklin E. Belden
Look upon Jesus, sinless is He; Father, impute His life unto me. My life of scarlet, my sin and woe, Cover with His life, whiter than snow.
Refrain
Cover with His life, whiter than snow; Fullness of His life then shall I know; My life of scarlet, my sin and woe, Cover with His life, whiter than snow.
Deep are the wounds transgression has made; Red are the stains; my soul is afraid. O to be covered, Jesus, with Thee, Safe from the law that now judgeth me!
I am presenting a full showing of The Seventh Day Documentary as narrated by the actor Hal Holbrook.
The Seventh Day Documentary is a beautiful production, often times difficult to watch, but well worth the effort.
The production is in eleven (11) parts for approximately 5 1/2 hours of viewing. And ... its NOT about Seventh-day Adventists or the Jews! It is about our faithful and bible-believing fore-parents and what they endured to keep the Sabbath Day of the 4th Commandment holy.
Please, please, please do not neglect your prayer life no matter what is going on in your personal or professional life!
Even if you don’t know what to say, calling upon the name of Jesus Christ will work wonders for whatever is ailing you! The Holy Spirit intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words (Romans 8:26) and, in the name of Jesus Christ, our requests are presented to God!
DON’T FORGET THAT:
1. We pray to the Father, in the name of the Son, under the agency of the Holy Spirit.
2. Prayer is the key in the hand of faith to unlock Heaven’s Storehouse!
3. Faith is the hand by which the soul takes hold upon Divine offers of Grace and Mercy!
4. We should pray the Promises of God!
5. “Yes!”, “No!”, “Wait!”, and “My Grace Is Sufficient For You!” are all God’s answers to our several prayers!
6. If we received everything for which we pray, we would be viewing our lives from inside the toilet, or worse!
WARNING:
1. God does not answer our prayers if we are holding on to known sin! Your prayer, in this view, is an abomination to God! So... confess your sin and THEN present your petitions!
2. Your Requests and God’s Calendar are not in alignment! It is all in God’s Delivery Time (GDT)! and
3. Never doubt Jesus’ Love for it dishonors God!
When you sing the message
Are you really singing to God
Or are you putting on a performance
For someone who isn’t the Lord?
Are you praising, or performing
Are you putting on a show
Which does not praise Your Creator
Because it praises the world?
Think once, think twice, I beseech
Know to whom you’re giving your praise
Make sure it’s to Your Creator
The Ancient One of Days!
Don’t fall into the trap that
Satan has placed for the world
By saying that whatever/however you’re singing
All music to the King is all praise!
Old Satan, the Old Minister of Music
Is alive, and kicking, and well
Able to blind you with his tricks
To perform music that give him his kicks!
He writes the songs that make this world sing
He lays the beats that makes Saints retreat
From lewdness, lechery and looseness
From rhythms that sends sinners to use bongs.
This same music is stomping into the Church of
God, the Father, the Spirit, the Son
Hijacking the old Saints from the praises
To honor Him, the Worthy, the Lamb!
Our God is the God of All Order
His Angels sing praise in majesty
Swelling and ringing, triumphant
Praising the God who loves humanity.
So, again, I ask you: “Who are YOU praising
When you sing the gospel message today?
Is it the God of All Creation OR
The god who leads children astray?"
Dear Ones:
When we, as singers and musicians, allow ourselves to become the focus, and center, of attention by our "performance," as we “praise” God in song, we are praising our selves, for we have allowed ourselves to accept the praise and worship that belongs solely to the God of Heaven.
Let us, therefore, be very, very careful ... that we do not find ourselves in the position in which King Herod found himself for accepting the worship, and adulation, that rightfully belonged to Almighty God.
Acts 12:21-23 21 On the appointed day Herod, wearing his royal robes, sat on his throne and delivered a public address to the people.
22 They shouted, “This is the voice of a god, not of a man.”
23Immediately, because Herod did not give praise to God, an angel of the Lord struck him down, and he was eaten by worms and died.
Satan has made it painfully clear that his sworn task is to deflect worship from the God of Heaven by any means necessary, and available.
Even if our “worship” does not name Satan himself, he seeks to ensure that if he can't get it, that God, Himself, does not receive same by encouraging us to believe that we, too, are gods, hence the designations we hear of godfather and empress and myriad divas (goddesses) of music, which appalling, even revolting, appellations are finding themselves in our houses of worship!
Lord, have mercy on us, and help us to see You as You are, and worship You - forgetting self - for You, alone, are worthy!
