Poem: Spiritual Secret (Power of Words)

Most fail to understand the spiritual secret,

regarding the true power of the human tongue.

Proper and improper usage of its strength, allows

one to create consequences, that are far flung.

Consider the idea of words as ‘containers’,

housing both creative and destructive powers.

For even God is bound (Scripturally) by His Word.

Learn to alter your speech, starting this very hour.

Although you’re free to choose what is…

Poem: She Gave More

One ordinary day at the temple,

Jesus purposed to watch people go by;

He observed their heart attitudes,

without them… even knowing why.

He watched the gait of the proudly rich,

dressed in their expensive clothes;

they jingled a portion of their wealth

and drew attention with uplifted noses.

Christ properly noticed and judged the scene

of them depositing their offering coins,

disappointed that they collected their reward

(of pride)…

They are coming Home

They are coming Home. Thanksgiving, 2014.

Happy Thanksgiving.

This is a unique year … three of my four children are up and out of the house, but will be coming home for Thanksgiving. Wait, wasn’t it just yesterday, that I was ten years old, running down the stairs in my big old Colonial Revival home with all of the smells of Thanksgiving already under way in my mother’s kitchen? And I was the youngest of four children, waiting for each of them to arrive! Time goes by.…

Avoid Foolish Questions

"Avoid foolish questions."

Titus 3:9

Our days are few, and are far better spent in doing good, than in disputing over matters which are, at best, of minor importance. The old schoolmen did a world of mischief by their incessant discussion of subjects of no…

The religious were blind

The religious were blind. Matthew 3.1-12; Luke 7.24-35

Hi.

When John saw the sanctimonious Pharisees and Sadducees1 coming out to the desert, he blasted them, calling them out for their outward piety, while their hearts were unrepentant. Their garb identified them and their position but it also helped them maintain their religious pride rather than seeing their sin. It seems…

The Advance of God to a renewed awakening Exchange

This is a shared perspective from( Derek Prince Re -known minister) would like to share is thoughts

Over the years, the Lord showed me one basic principle about the cross: that it was an exchange, a divinely appointed exchange. On the cross, to satisfy eternal, divine justice, God caused to meet together upon Jesus all the evil that was due by justice to the human race, so that in return, by faith, the one who repents and believes may receive all the good that is due…

Poem: Called to Worship (XII)

We are still called to worship;

open hearts and voices, glorify His Name!

We acknowledge the Almighty

and His Kingdom… we freely proclaim!

We are called to worship,

knowing that we are His Children.

We have been given The Scriptures

and holy tools for overcoming sin.

We continue to worship Him,

Whose Love was revealed in Christ Jesus.

We will continue to Seek His face

and to have His Love perfected in us.

We intentionally…

Poem: Nothing Without God

To the uncircumcised heart,

a real relationship with God

is not only strange and peculiar,

it’s unbelievably… odd.

For what role does Mankind play,

that Jehovah is mindful of us?

How could the embodiment of Love

allow us to martyr Christ Jesus?

Unlike the angels of the heavenly realm,

we’re made in the image of God Himself.

Christ was not crucified for angels, but…

to insure a way of bringing us back to Himself.

For we’ve been given…

Poem: Those

Help me Lord, to acknowledge those

who labor within my sphere of influence,

for they too deserve my prayers for them.

Help me Lord, to lovingly admonish those

who lack a proper sense of discipline,

for like me, they require spiritual guidance.

Help me Lord, to quietly comfort those

who seek cooperation and genuine fairness,

that serves all of my neighbors equally.

Help me Lord, to forgivingly tolerate those

who are stronger or weaker…

The Baptizer - Wild and Woolly

The Baptizer - Wild and Woolly. Matthew 3.1-6

It was long ago in a galaxy far, far away … or at least it seems that way. The speaker followed at least three others who came out with rather splashy multi-media presentations, Power Point illustrations and statistics, and frankly kept my rapt attention. It was more than 10 years ago now. And then came one. He came out with a simple stool and a smallish black Bible—that’s all. Mostly, Erwin McManus talked…
