If you will fight, get up off your knees; It is God, not the world, that you must please. He says to show your faith by your good works, So get out of your chair, my child;Your life is not going to be mild.You know faith without works isWorth less than a wiz.Talk is cheap, […]

Jesus is, of course, the enemyOf sinners, waiting for confessionAnd repentance from deadly selfishness.Let the sinner turn and avoid the burn!No. He’s not the “friend of sinners.”He died to get them off the burners,So stop with all the “friend of sinners”Bull and join with the winnersWho have been won by His graceAnd the sacrifice that […]

Well, He’s more than a BFFL;He’s the Judge and Lord of the worldAs well as your Savior from hell.Indeed He can be your “friend” –Yes, your Best Friend For Life.But unlike fine folks, like your wife,He is the Creator and Lord of the universe.He rules the world and calls he shots,Calling you from greed and […]

So, what to do with that “mate”? Well, either get married or don’t. But no sense in draggin’ on a thing If to no truth you are gettin’ that ring. What is the intention? Is there integrity found in him?Got a goal to serve the KingAnd walk in that integrity?Ain’t no small thing to do […]

Like a Hurricane Washing Over Me! Indeed, His grace is sovereign; Left to ourselves, no one would choose Him! Give, then, pure, unadulterated thanks! No credit to you for a decision; You are a product of His election And you weren’t a choice selection. (Who knows why He chose you?) You are left in awe […]

Hands on the wheel Not just “lifted high”! And when I fight, I’ll get off my knees! With my hands on the wheel,I’ll drive Your Truth before men.Help me do it, thenWhether free or in the pen.Your ways are not ours;Not just about drinking wineAnd sniffin’ flowers. 1535 on 8 Aug., 2023

“I’ll fight on my knees,” the song says. But prayer, like faith without works, Is was God calls “dead!” So, when you are done praying, arise! Put on your pants and open you eyes!Go to those who are in need: Victims, maybe, of another’s greed (Anybody killin’ babies in the ‘hood? Do your community some […]

In history was something you were born into, Or that you earned. It was not something that you claimed! It is a status that we, Americans, take for granted;We are accustomed to the status of a citizenWho has precious, blood-bought rights,And we bask in this condition as drunkardsUnaware of its origins or its providers.Spoiled brats […]

Hosea 8:5 “Incapable of Innocence”- Whoah!Actually, ’tis everyone you know!Infected with that thing called sin;Just can’t get out o’ that din!Stuck like a wheel in a muddy rut;Nothin’ but to sit on your butt.Just can’t get out o’ that hole!Put some cereal in your bowlAnd just lie down and relax;Take a load off everybody’s back.Got […]

Oh, the beach! Where pure is the air And the family is there! The ocean cleans our bodies (And serves as our potty). Kids are rolling in water and sandAnd we are our own band.We may get a little burned,But long ago we learnedThat the fun was worth it all.Then it’s back home ’til fallAnd […]
