Urgency
If a child is about
To place a hand
In the fire
Will you not slap
It away
Talk to it
At least ‘No’
attempt to say
With those who ignore God
Isn’t it about the same
Ignoring the only name
That saves
From an even
Greater fire?
Of eternity’s loss
An even greater cost
Will be extracted
Than one burnt hand
They will spend infinity
In a far worse land
Desolate, dark, wretched
Bleak, gloomy
Colorless beyond all words
No second chances will
Be given after death
None will be left
So shouldn’t there be
A greater sense of
Urgency
Importance
Not just for ourselves
But for every human
On the face of this planet
Only this one chance at
Life is granted
We belong to God, Christ
By them we are owned
So let us never grow
Too Apathetic
So we will never have to moan
‘If only’
Our Job
If we people who say
We believe Jesus Christ
is Lord, Savior & God
We truly, truly believe
He is truth, life & the way
Then isn’t it our daily job
To say so
Out loud
Not just in a church building
Where we feel safe
But out in a dangerous world
Where we could face
Ridicule, embarrassment
Maybe even death
Or perhaps alone to be left
With no one, rejected,
Unloved, a most severe test
Of our loyalty
But this is what He said
To do
If each soul down here is
To have a chance to be
Renewed
We are to be His hands, feet
Face & voice
His Messengers
This can be a most difficult
Choice
For anyone, a sacrifice to make
This suffering we must take
If we truly, truly love Him
For without a sacrifice, there is no love!
So do not tell Jesus you love Him if
You are unwilling to sacrifice to stay loyal to Him
If you deny me before men, I will deny you before the Father! Matthew 10:33
Even the Demons
People do go to church
Walk thru a door
Choose a seat
Stay awhile
Turn & smile
Say they believe
But rituals alone
Do not change a heart
May or may not help
You grow
Closer, more intimate,
Obedient
To your Creator
So only saying you believe
Will not save your soul
Just to believe is only
The first part of the goal
Because even
Demons believe & tremble
They just chose the wrong side
Do not follow their guide
God is after the Human Heart
So He may start
To transform you
Into His Son,
A co-heir with Him
So you may win,
Transcend
The darkness
Enter His light,
A forever Paradise!!
Just a few shots from a new Youtube video I did of a recent poem called THANK YOU set to music. Hope you enjoy and may God bless your day! Video: https://youtu.be/–cbEpuO0PU
What IS Courage
On a hill He created
With His hands
On a feckless day
& by the very clay
He had formed
Stripped bare,
He was crucified
That WAS courage
Left a golden throne
Of glory
To continue His story
Of calling us back home
Nevermore in
Satan’s darkness
To roam
That TOOK courage
On that crucial night
In history
For us, our destiny,
Was changed forever
Followers all
They left their call
Abandoned him
To that hill
Standing still
Alone
That was NOT courage
But the story was
Changed
As He arose out of
An empty grave
They rejoiced on that day
To follow His name
Most of the 12 were martyred
Terrible painful deaths
Suffered so obedience
They could claim
That IS courage!
Today there is no difference
So in holy reverence
For one so holy & pure
Who came only to reassure
Of God’s love, mercy
Forgiveness
Let us stand up
His name bless
Even if we have to suffer
Perhaps even death
That WILL BE our Courage!!
