His Kingship!


His Kingship

Get down on your knees
Oh broken, lost world
As the KING of GLORY
Passes by
May I hear an 
Audible sigh?

Or maybe not
Because
Of one thing
I fear,
We forgot

Coming from so many
Pulpits of today
Of a very large influence
Are words. . . 
Jesus loves you
But of the same pursuance
Should be
JESUS IS LORD,
MASTER, KING!
Of these facts should be
A total congruence!!!!

So many spiritual leaders
Heard today
Strip Christ and the Father
Of their AUTHORITY
Their POWER
Over this earth
This planet
We currently inhabit
This world
This large, glowing
Revolving green pearl

For only this world's Creator King
Has the right to command
His creation
Of this fact the teachers should
Not forget nor shun
It leaves their listeners
Without the correct information

So, put God and Christ
Back on our heart's throne
And take ourselves off
For in life, 
There is at least still
One sure thing
He is our most gracious,
Compassionate, loving,
But ALMIGHTY KING!!

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!!

He Gave Up!

He Gave Up!

Christ did not come

To create a feel good social club

A country club atmosphere

Instead

So our black, sin-smeared

Record for all eternity

He could unequivocally clear

A glorious throne of infinity

He gave up

He came to a barn

A humble stable

Full of hay and animal slobber

Dirty, wet

So no mistaken ideas

Of wealth, lust for money

Would we mistakenly harbor

For this a light filled throne

He gave up

He came to a cross full of

Pain, agonizing torture

So with His death

A broken relationship

Between man and the Father

He could nurture

To give us, you, a Holy,

Forgiven future

For this, through ripped

And torn flesh,

His own blood

Christ gave up!

Near Death

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!
