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!!!!

Stripped


Stripped

Stripped
Meaning to
Be destroyed
Removed
As in to strip old paint
Now old undesirable varnish
Remove old tarnish

As I stand still
Look around
Unwillingly caught
In all the world's sounds
My spirit feels there is
Something amiss
Something
Imprisoned into
A darkened twist
It is our sense of reality

There is a loss of authority
Not of ours, oh no, no
In our own we boast all day
Over that we keep a tight grip
Over that most will sing
All day long
Through loose, smiling lips
It is of someone else's loss

Into the air madly have 
We tossed
Christ's authority
Our Creator's Sovereignty
Over everyone, everything
From Him His power
Have we STRIPPED

Today even inside
Large and small churches
Pastors just say
Jesus loves you
Which, of course, is the truth
But downplay HIS KINGSHIP
Is it ignorance or fear
Is it now today
They're afraid to say
He is also our
Righteous Judge
Full Authority, Power
Only belongs to Him
All of life's rules, guidelines
Come from Him

In the middle of today's
Broken world with pain so rife
In its confusion, 
satan's evil, full of strife
We need to return to the truth
Of our One true leader's power
And to bend the knee
And refuse to strip Christ
Of His rightful authority
HIS OVERWHELMING MAJESTY
AND UNENDING GLORY!

The Reach!



The Reach

You had to reach down
So very, very low
Because
At times life to us can deliver
Exceedingly cruel blows
AH!!
But the joy at seeing your face
Come to save(as always)
I reach up
Your hands full of 
Your overflowing grace!

So hold your breath
Get ready
Christ remains always ever steady
Dependable, ALMIGHTY
Wait and you will see
Your Refuge, our Rock
Our Creator LORD
He will enable all believers
In Him once again to soar
Above this world's chaos
That dark slimy pit
Pain, suffering and loss
Even though it may come
For you at a tremendous cost

But you can rely upon HIM
To eternally win
Our Immortal souls,
Us in His forever love to keep
As in His Paradise we all together
Dance joyfully in the
Light-filled Glory at His Feet!!

Praise You
Lord Jesus
Praise You!!!

Now That’s Pretty!

I hope everyone has a God-blessed day! This video/poem is available also on my youtube channel Susan Guinn at: https://youtu.be/2G_JPJo-rCY

Now That’s Pretty!!

Sunrises are pretty
Flowers,
Oh, their colors 
Can make you
Quite giddy!
Butterflies
Babies smiles
Laughter
Winter’s perfect  seasons
But sadly 
Just physical
Not spiritual
That comes only
From God
Is God

Warmth
Affection
Perfect Love
Shining, streaming
From above
Never leaving
Always present
Always good
Always faithful
Even when I'm not

King of the 2nd, 3rd,
4th chance
Showing in His
Celebratory Graveyard Dance
His Almighty Power
Over satan, death
Resurrecting people
With His every breath

NOW THAT IS
PRETTY!!
