Condemnation

Condemnation

Condemnation
Such a harsh word
Denotes a punishment
Or even perhaps 
A scourge

America's church
Should stop
Take a deep breath
We have entered
A time unique, 
Unprecedented
A time of great tests

A culture caught
Tightly, as never before
In satan's grasp
Many lost souls
To his dark chest
Does he clasp

Because
A silent church
Has lost its passion
For the All Powerful
Living Christ
By comfort & 
Convenience
Has it been enticed

So we have become
Cowards
At our work
Afraid to speak 
His Holy Name
Or simply
As we play a game

Or is it because
We've become too lazy
Allowing all the crazies
To overwhelm our culture 
Instead of us helping
God's Holy Spirit 
Our lives to nurture

So before God completely condemns
His blessed more than most
American church
Let us once again 
Become a shining star
Stop denying
No longer pretend
As cowardice & laziness
Are attractive on no one!

 Revelation 3: 15-16  I know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot. I wish you were either one or the other!  So, because you are lukewarm—neither hot nor cold—I am about to spit you out of my mouth.

Exclude

Exclude

Alone
At the foot of your throne
I bury myself
Deeper into you
Everything else,
All others I wish to exclude

Temporary pleasures
I wish to toss
Out of my heart, mind
Forever are they lost
Seek them only
At your own peril
They come at a very high cost

Eternity calls your name
Sometimes screams
Sometimes whispers
You just have to remember
To stop, be a listener
And of satan's fraudulent
Schemes be an eternal resistor!

True Worth

True Worth

I know I am 
A sinner
Steeped
In sin 
Since my birth
My only true worth
Lies deep 
Within Your Name

But
To worship
You incessantly
From the start
Does this 
To my life
True joy impart

The privilege
To carry 
Your Name
Not for profit
Nor for fame
Joy such as this
From nothing else
Will you gain

Oh my 
Jesus, Holy Master
Can you not
Perfect me
A little faster
Then others too
May see
And receive the bliss
Of just one kiss
Ah,
Your love's perfection!!

I Was Made!

Made

I was made
I was made by You
For You
I was made

I was made
Through You
Empowered by You
I was made

I was made
Not by accident
Not by mistake
I was made

I was made
Not an accident of chemistry
Or molecules out of control
I was made

By design
By Your purpose
By Your glory
By Your love
& in Your image
Was I made

World of Disney?

World of Disney?

A giant castle in the sky 
Structured to tower so tall
No matter the age of the eye
Meant to be seen by them all
Rising with its oh so 
Enticing, beckoning call

Princesses moving around
All in artificial ballroom gowns
Embellished in an unreal tiara
Isn't it all being done for 
The Almighty dollar
To see this no one
Has to be an extreme scholar 

Yet pushing a hidden agenda
To them they wish us to surrender
Our minds
Our children's lives, their genders
Over into their hands

It's not the place of some company
Or even any government 
To go that far
Only with God can
we make that kind of covenant
That kind of control, that Power
For on their own heads
They bring a most dire judgment

The Answer

The Answer


To be with You
Holy God
Inseparable
Completely joined
You living in me
Or
Perfectly together,
My daily existence
Walking inside of You!

But how can that happen
How can that truly be?
Perhaps only in eternity
The answer to that question
will I at last be able to see!
