Poem: Lasting Hope (sequel to New Age Spirituality)

Satan is a defeated foe

although he continues to fight -

For we are more than conquerors,

as soldiers in God's army of Light.

His earthly authority has been weakened

since Christ now possesses the keys of Death and Hell;

so we're to prayerfully "stand in the gap"

as we in His Presence strive to dwell.

Our lasting Hope is embodied by Christ alone;

He died to prove His Love as a friend.

Willingly and sacrificially He laid down His… Continue

Poem: Morning Star

Lord, You are the only Morning Star.
Nothing else compares to your brilliance,
a penetrating light that pierces...

...the darkness of our hearts
...the blackness of our sins
...the abyss of our human emotion

Being the source of Dunamis power,
You shine an eternal beam of radiance.
For unlike other stars, You'll never burn out.

Poem: Higher Ground

On God's holy mountain

I traverse a spiral path

of an upward climb

towards His higher ground.

My progress varies between

arduously slow and immoderately fast,

while trying to avoid same mistakes

that keep me in a circle going round.

Rockslides are temporary obstacles

that can only impede, but...

Never prevent me from reaching the peak

where one day, I'll be found.

Poem: No Earthly Good

Being so heavenly minded

and of no earthly good

is a dichotomy of attitude to avoid,

as one must and should.

Solutions to Life's problems

become evident with clear thinking,

when grounded on divine principles

for the purpose of practical living.

The Standard has been defined

for all Kingdom residents -

Walk in abundance, be a blessing to others

as shown by Christ's precedent.

By making a positive impact

and… Continue

Poem: Petitions to God

God does answer prayer

as many people have heard,

but His only obligation is

to honor His own Word.

He is always around

for requests of Salvation's Call;

His desire is to assist all lives

that have spiritually stalled.

He willingly meets our needs

and not necessarily our wants;

for asking in ignorance

doesn't sanction unmerited warrants.

Read and devour His Word;

hide His Principles in your heart,

so that… Continue

Poem: Computer Geek

After twenty years, as cursed as I may be

for having learned computerese,

I continue to examine bits, bytes and words

and insure that I'm one of those computer nerds.

Program design, source code and compile

followed by walk-throughs that place me on trial.

There's lots of testing - a means to an end

in hopes of avoiding future production abends.

There are micros, minis and mainframe hardware

which are made to work with in-house and vendor… Continue

Poem: Chained to Myself

To Nature's old self I cling,

although I should be a new creation

and enjoy the blessings that it brings.

I'm bound as a passive prisoner

wholly contained within my soul,

while personal chains constrict even tighter.

Jacob Marley would have been proud,

as I've forged my own binding links

that strangle the life force, which is continually cast down.

The freedom that I crave

won't be obtained by my own strength,

for only the… Continue
