Screaming


Screaming

A world screaming
In my ears
Loudly,
Systematically
A world
In love with
Itself

Evil, crude
Carousing
Capable of
Many fierce desires
Arousing

Until
That light
Comes pulsating
Gently pushing into your life
At first maybe small
Then larger
Of tension
Most rife

At odds with
A world's narcissistic
Evil
Christ steps
Sometimes roars
Against
Those strange dark
Messages
Around your heart
Voraciously they soar

So,
Tune out the
Broken world
Tune in Christ
His brighter
More benevolent light
Follow His
Gentle more Holy path
And fall back into
His wonderful, less selfish
Loving Eternal Grasp!!

Idols!

Idols

Idols, Idols
Everywhere
I look,
I stare
Turning my head
I can see
Enticing, me
To Believe
In their goodness
What a mess!

You have yours
I have mine
They’re hard to let go
Hard to unwind
Most of the flesh
To understand
Not such a great test
Power, Money
Material Possessions
Sex
At time, they can lead
To extremes of regret

In love with ourselves
We run, we fume, we struggle
At times, in singles
Or often in doubles
We collect, we hoard
Then grasp
We should feel insecure
Nothing down here really
Lasts

Reach for the eternal,
A Holy Immortal God
Please, oh please
In Him learn to trust
He desires to love us!
His blessings
They can be known
So, don’t stand out in the
Dark, all alone
Reach for wisdom
And take yourself off
The idol’s throne!!

Never Land!


Never Land

Do you realize that like
In the children’s story
We all live in a
Never land
Which promises us forever!

Never will I leave you
Never will I forsake you
Says He
These words for all eternity
May we all believe
God sits on His eternal throne
Never trying to hide its
Warm Golden glow

And here’s another never for you
These words in your heart may they
Ring oh so true
No one ever, ever
May I say again NEVER
Is out of His HOLY, DIVINE PRESENSE

On a planet do we live
Always at His throne’s foot
Does it spin
Promising eternity’s life
For all who dare to truly love Him
I pray all could be conscious daily
Of His GLORY, POWER, AUTHORITY
And His warm, loving oversight!!

Then You’re Not!

Ezekiel 33:7-8 (NIV) “Son of man, I have made you a watchman for the people of Israel; so hear the word I speak and give them warning from me. When I say to the wicked, ‘You wicked person, you will surely die,’ and you do not speak out to dissuade them from their ways, that wicked person will die for their sin, and I will hold you accountable for their blood.

Then You’re Not

In days of old
Oh say maybe 60, 70 years ago
Pastors did not seem to hesitate
To tell the truth
To try to remove sin
By its root
But today, well . . .

They say Jesus loves you
Which, again, is one of
God's eternal truths
But
What of other words
In His Holy Book
Perhaps, we should take a look

If you love me, you will obey
My commands
But they must know
Upon which guides
To take their stand
If you don't tell them their mistakes
Fate of not just them
but whole world is at stake
Then You're NOT being a good
Watchman on the wall
And

Their blood will be on your head!

Not my words
But to Ezekiel, a Holy prophet, said
Long ago by God Himself
So do not be afraid
To take a Holy stand
Be God's courageous, holy man
Rebuke a culture's sin
Boldly,
Loudly
So more and more souls
In this world may Christ win
And new generations may arise
To march into Heaven's gates
Through eternity's celestial skies!

Remember,
God will denounce their sins
On judgement day
Over each human soul
No one holds more sway!

The Third Temple!


A Third Temple!

Today In Jerusalem
You may hear some clamor
Sounds, voices
In the air float rumors
A third temple they say
Will bring for our earth
A much better day!!

But don't they know
There already is one!
It is you and me
If in our God
Christ Jesus
You wholeheartedly
Do believe!!

Christ does not
Need dead, cold stones
In which to survive
It is within the human heart
He comes best to live
And to most assuredly still thrive!!

As Christian believers
We are living stones
Built up together
As one
For God's Spirit
A newer Home
Along with His Holy Son
Of this newer temple
His Living Cornerstone!!

Once for all
Christ's blood purifies
For a whole world
To see
So with faith
Anyone, everyone
May forever live
At the foot of God's throne
His deeply loved,
Glorified, Perfected
Living Stones!!!!
