Poem: Danger of Zealous Fervor

Yes, the goal is to reach souls;

but at what further cost?

Unacceptable is using fear as mind control

for reaching those considered 'lost'.

When not as an example of victorious living,

the principles of God appear to lose credibility.

If not demonstrating a God that's loving,

then appeal of the Kingdom lacks desirability.

To berate skeptical souls with Hell's threat

will deliberately cause immediate offense.

Salvation is not a game… Continue

Poem: Eternity

In the quiet garden of Heaven,

one day I'll walk beneath the trees

with the coolness of God's Spirit

flowing more gently than an Earthly breeze.

In the royal kingdom of priests,

I'll run barefoot on streets of soft gold,

overwhelmed by the perfection of peace,

following where angels had previously strolled.

Before the awesome throne room,

I'll exude continual heartfelt praise

as part of God's familial host

safe and secure in… Continue

Poem: A Sinner Like Me

Pushing this flesh into alignment,

guided by The Word most holy and pure,

I'm striving to learn principles

for a sanctified life to endure.

My Lord loves me without hesitation

and allowed a part of Himself to die.

He's calling me homeward without reservation;

by His Spirit, to His side, I'll eventually fly.

Knowing I'm a child of His,

during trying times I find true encouragement.

I'm able to lean on His strength

while in search… Continue

Poem: His Blessings

His blessings upon my life flow -

No matter where I am

or wherever I happen to go.

Overcoming the curse of Mankind,

is a consuming, infinite Love

from the One declared divine.

As I continue inside His Will,

sheltered by Sacrificial grace,

His many promises are fulfilled.

Truly blessed, to be a blessing

is simple for anyone to see -

As I'm fully submerged... in God's covering.

Learn more about me and… Continue
