Poem: Evening Sky

Gazing into a starry night,

I see a deep indigo sky

with perfect placement of twinkling light.

Stars reveal the expanse of time

from before the birth of humanity;

their existence came from dynamic energy

which was created by spoken word

that no man has ever heard.

Solitary spirit of awesome might

painted this heavenly canvas

with a flick of His hand and uttered thought.

Divine creation shared with you and me -

It's part of our heritage… Continue

Poem: Avoiding Hell?

Have you sealed your fate

with the rejection of Him?

Accept Christ now

before your life wears thin.

For in permanent separation

there's no God or peace -

Only continual torment and anguish

without any comfort or release.

Alone in the dark

as fallen angels without light,

you too will become a demon creature

lacking hope of spiritual sight.

Forget about Purgatory,

but make a decision today -

avoiding Hell can… Continue

Poem: Waiting on You

When floating in the sea of despair,

never give up hope, for the Lord is already there.

For in the time of your darkest hour,

you can tap into His Dunamis power.

Addressing Earth's challenges requires a key -

As a child of His, you must yourself see.

To assure that your earnest prayers are heard,

you need to hide in your heart His Holy Word.

For out of your mouth, His Word you should speak,

which demonstrates that Him you truly seek.

For God's… Continue

Poem: As a Joint Heir with Thee

What a blessing it would be

as a joint heir with thee,

sharing the Father's affection

for the numerous days of eternity!

What a honor you've bestowed upon me

as a joint heir with thee,

being adopted by the universal King

and connected to the divine, family tree.

What a grand responsibility

as a joint heir with thee,

proclaiming your name and love

to the World's expanse of humanity.

Learn more about me and… Continue

Poem: My Soul Now Sings

My invisible scars

are plain for anyone to see,

as I blindly journey on...

This path of Christianity.

Wanting deliberate faith

ready on my tongue,

I received God's Salvation

when I was dumb and young.

Inflicted wounds to my soul

from a lack of understanding

have been healed by the Power

of Christ's personal anointing.

I am worth dying for

according to His Word;

The Lamb's wondrous sacrifice

had sin to… Continue

Poem: Only Your Adoration

The essence of God is within,

looking to spring forth in your life.

You have been greatly blessed,

but may be unable to recognize it.

Learn to die to selfish desire

and enable His Spirit to be activated.

All that God requests is your adoration.

Giving praise and singing hymns to Yaweh

means He has captured your heart -

Therefore, your love for Him is... Genuine.

From my book "Reaching Towards His Unbounded… Continue

Poem: Prism to our Past

A humbling profession is

Biblical archaeology,

where people are found prostrate -

Searching for glimpses of Man's history.

Forgotten souls and evidence have been

covered by layers of earthly dust,

as recent discoveries now include...

The decoding of Israel's "Exodus".

An eclectic collection of artifacts

of the "Hyksos Expulsion" have been laid bare

by Simcha, the "Naked Archaeologist",

on TV's "The History Channel"… Continue

Book Review: Reaching Towards His Unbounded Glory by Ellen Tanner Marsh

As reviewed by NY Times best selling author

Ellen Tanner Marsh

Any Christian surveying the current state of modern poetry could easily become discouraged, given that much of that poetry can only be categorized as nihilistic. At worst, such poems seemingly promote despair and violence-against society, the church, or even against oneself. At best, they consist of self-centered whining and overdramatic emotionalism, completely devoid of spiritual muscle and ethical… Continue

Poem: Silent Words Are Useless

I've got my opinions as any other;

Hopefully, I'll be clear and you'll understand

that our silent words are useless -

For the trees will willingly clap their hands.

The one true God spoke into existence

the birds, fishes, plants, mammals, Earth

and all forms of life including...

Humble beginnings of Mankind's birth.

The sound of our individual voices

is something that God covets and enjoys;

He wants our unadulterated praise… Continue

Poem: Giving Tithes to God

Revelations of the heart

regarding how one's money is spent

echoes volumes about character

and our God-given talents.

For Jehovah is far from being poor;

He owns the cattle on a thousand hills.

He's not into ungodly extortion

to keep you from paying your bills.

By serving two masters,

one will be dearly loved - the other sorely hated;

so one can never be truly happy

until settling the God and Mammon debate.

The wealth… Continue
