There will be a day
When the whole world will tremble
The whole world will fear
And flow with blood filled tears
Valleys will run red
Because the world turned away from you
You gave the world every chance
But we won't bow to you
You will send your two prophets who will be persecuted
Beaten and scorned
Through your chastisement
Your grace will run evermore
On that day chances will run out
You will come riding in from the sky
Your armies will make this world tremble
As it assembles
On that last battle
This world will fire every destructive force upon you
They will mean nothing
Not even touching your glorious robes
Everything this world has to fight
Will fall
Like a child trying to **** a mountain
This world will have been given every chance
Every grace of salvation
But when that day comes
You will finally release your righteous fury
And this world will fall
Sin must one day end
You love the souls of this world
You died for us
You give every warning
Every grace
Every possible chance to tell us of your coming day
You will take your children home
But those that refused you
Will be lost
In that last battle
Caleb John Jul 2020
So much knowledge to find

So little time to learn

So many people to teach

So little time to reach
Caleb John Jan 2018
So many followers of Christ wonder why hardships happen to them
Here's the answer
We weren't promised an easy life full of ease and luxury
We were promised a life of hardships
A life of persecution and struggles
But that wasn't all we were promised
We were promised a life of satisfaction
A life of joy
A life worth living
We were promised that we would be led through every struggle
Every pain
Every hardship
Every strife
Every hurt
Every bout of depression
Every bout of anxiety
Every struggle
Has a solution
Has a way out
Has a hope
Has a reason
So bring it on
My God will lead me out
My God will lead me through
Caleb John Nov 2018
Days in and day out

I stay holed up in this little routine of mine

Sometimes I get bored and start to pout

Inside behind closed doors

That's when the rain begins to pour

It gets kind of sad behind walls of loneliness

Sometimes you have look past walls

Sometimes you have to crawl

But the little things bring joy

Don't be coy

Go outside

Enjoy the breeze

Enjoy the fresh air

The birds flying in their dance without care

The trees swaying to the wind

It's the little things that make me smile

God's great creation of the ant

Beautiful green grass

Leaves changing colors

Playing games and hanging out with my brothers

A quiet morning with a cup of hot chocolate

It's the little things that can bring much joy
Caleb John Feb 2020
Standing strong

Standing alone

Some walk by it and marvel

Some look at it's cracks and point out it's rips and flaws

But none the less it stands

To uphold what is true

What is right

Too many think about the strength of the lone pillar

Few aspire to it's strength
Caleb John Aug 2019
Get to know her

Get into a relationship

Get into her pants cause her curves fit my qualifications

When I'm done with her I'll just leave her with the kid

And then I'll just start on the next girl that's a push over



Don't fall for a boy

Let yourself be caught by a Man

Let yourself be defined by God
Caleb John Sep 2019
Is this what's best for her?

Am I giving her what she needs?

How can I encourage her?

How can I love her selflessly?

Am I praying for her as I ought?

Am I standing for her as I ought?

Am I leading her as I ought?



A Real Man doesn't collect women around their finger

A Real Man gives selflessly and stands with the strength that he is given
Caleb John Jan 2018
All we can think about is politics now
It's all about blacks vs. whites
Women vs. Men
God created different roles for men and women
That doesn't mean women are less then men
This world grieves my heart
Feminists hate the fact that they need the fathers permission
Before they **** their child
Abortion is a monster
Fewer things make me madder
Or sadder
The Bible says that God's law is written on the hearts of all people
We know abortion is wrong
We just don't want the responsibility of our actions
God created one human race
Not blacks and whites
Not whites and blacks
So why can't we live and treat each other with love and respect
Caleb John Jun 2018
When I hear the whispers in my ear

I just want to duck in fear

Because I don't want to hear that sweet voice

When I listen to that call nothing feels more bitter then it's bite

So I'm just jumping into a fight

But the thought of giving up the fight and giving in

Makes my stomach feel like a flying kite

To hear the call of those ancient Gods

Maybe I didn't give them up

The apostle Paul said that the hearts of men walk astray

I just didn't realize how deep the roots of my evil heart had grown

So now its time for my heart to burn

Burn the roots of evil

It was written we were supposed to be Holy as he is Holy

Yet my heart is not

My heart yearns for things of the past I thought that I destroyed long ago

I give those gods up for good

Because the next fix that I get

Won't come from this world

But from the God of love
Caleb John Jul 2019
The only way to overcome the evil in this world

Is with Good
Caleb John Oct 2019
I pray that you will love the Lord your God

With all your heart soul and mind

Love him.

He loves you
Caleb John Apr 2020
The pen is greater then the sword

Too many only use it when they're board

Yet the sword has a place but the pen sets the pace
Caleb John Jan 2018
Doesn't give his children what they want
He gives them what they need
He doesn't abandon them
He doesn't lie
He fights for his children
He helps them grow
He loves with all he has to give
God is the greatest father
Caleb John Jan 2018
Life is one of the hardest races
It's like running in a high speed chase
Obstacles everywhere
Sometimes you get pushed to the ground
The track looks far and narrow
Full of obstacles that want you to turn back or better yet
Take the wide easy path that cuts through the course
The race of life is the hardest, fastest race you will ever run
Are you fast enough or strong enough
The truth is your not
You need the speed
You need the strength in your muscles that you just don't have
You need that passion for life
The passion only God can give
Those obstacles will try to take you down
You need to jump the highest hurtles
Dodge the largest rocks
Leap over the largest gorges
But I can't these athletic feats
With these feet
I need the strength
I need the speed
I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me
I can climb the highest mountains
Leap the deepest valleys
Are you ready for the race?
Caleb John Jul 2019
When you see someone

Do you see them for who they are

Or do you see their skin tone?

Do you see their figure?

Do you see their muscle mass?

Do you see their body or them?
Caleb John Jul 2019
There's more to life than your crush

Or that fancy car

Or the internet

Or school

Or your dream job

Those things are good in context

But that's not all there is to life

There are galaxies more to life
Caleb John Feb 2018
Every day I walk through an ocean
It looks so beautiful
But that's before you see the dangers
The sharks look so peaceful
Before a fish swims by
Then it rips it apart

Every day I walk through a pretty school with whitewashed walls
Fulls of guys and girls
Have nothing left to lose
The girls want love
So they give the guys what they want
The guys are like an ox going to the slaughter
They don't know their doom is immanent
It tastes so sweet but it burns so deep
Those halls are full of seduction
Which will lead to destruction
Caleb John Sep 2019
Used to protect

Sharp

Shining

Fierce

Can pierce the hearts of men

Yet preserve them
Caleb John Apr 2018
Every day I go in and out

The tide goes down "I'm a new person now"

Or so I thought

But it's only until the tide comes back in

And tries to draw me in

Jesus taught me how to fight the tides

But I'll be working on it for years to come

Those tides of temptation

Those tides of despair

I struggle with my double mind

Jesus said we were supposed to be of one mind

But I still strive to beat that devil out

But daily he comes back

Slowly that second mind is dying

And my love is growing

My God gave what I could take

He gave me what would make me weak so that he could be strong

He made my weakness for his glory

That I may understand what others go through

That I may love those who struggle

With what I've battled for all these years

My affliction made me weak so that my God could come in

And take the wheel

I took his hand one day

And he pulled me out of the tide

But sometimes those tides try to **** me back in

Sometimes I'm being ****** into a whirl pool

I lose sight of my Lord

Just like Peter did

That's when I begin to sink

And the water wakes my sleepy eyes and my vigilance is restored

I struggle to remain vigil

But I'll make it

I have a father to show me
Caleb John May 2019
Abandon your perception on reality

What you believe

What I believe

None of it matters if it's not true

We cannot create reality

We can merely exist in it and find out what the true reality is
Caleb John Jan 2018
There's a place called Hell
It's burning fire in a cell
You could be headed there right now and you don't want to know it
Or maybe it hurt's you to much to show it
Hell is a place of fire and torment
A place of loneliness
You may be asking why I say this is the truth that saves
It sounds like that truth that scathes
The reason is because you don't have to go there
You may think I know I'm good enough
Well being good could never make you clean enough for heaven
Sin sends you to Hell
Jesus sends you to Heaven
The Bible says for all have sinned
And fallen short of God's glory
We are all headed for Hell originally
But lucky for us it didn't stay that way
Because Jesus didn't stay in the grave
He was God who came from Heaven
To be sin for us
There had to be a payment
Jesus was the payment
He loves you so much that he died for you
So you wouldn't have to go to Hell
And spend eternity in that cell
Accept his gift
You were warned of Hell
What's you're choice
Heaven
Or Hell?
Caleb John Nov 2018
Jesus you put your hand in my side

And gave me the strength to walk again

You know this thorn that's lodged in my side

You know the pain it causes

But I know you've given me the ability to move forward with this thorn

But sometimes I look around

And I hear people say that I'm something spiritual or something special

Then I turn to the other side

To people who think I'm crazy or offensive because I stood up for the unborn

But that wasn't me

It was you

You give me the healing

You give me the strength

But people just don't know the battle I face

My flaws and impurities shine so bright

I don't know where people see your light

Cause it sure isn't from me

I am the chief of sinners

This thorn was my own doing

But you gave me healing
Caleb John Nov 2018
Some nights I wish I would meet Jesus early

This pain is too great for me

Jesus take it please

It's too much for me

These temptations scream in my ear and can't wait for me to to fail

I've started so many poems like this

I'm just so sick of the same lack of bliss

This is a thorn to my flesh Jesus take it!

But if I must

I will walk with this spike driven into my side

Even if I hobble I can only make it on your strength

I don't even have this strength to grovel

This thorn

It causes me pain

It makes me wain

I feel like I sit here behind this screen

And rewrite poems that I've already wrote before

But every time

I face similar demons

I know millions across the world are staring the same ones in the face

We all have thorns driven into our sides
Caleb John Feb 2018
My heart breaks for this world
All the stabs and all the lies make me want to curl
To curl up into a ball and pretend this filth doesn't exist
But no matter how hard I try
Or how many tears I cry
This world still remains
All around
All I see is are kids dying
If not on the outside
Then on the inside
School shootings and car crash's
Suicides and murders
And all we can think are oh I hope they caught the killer
Or this is a tragedy now lets try to get past it
But while everyone tries to get past it
No one stops to think about how to go through it
It's all about you now take care of you
Do good and school and climb the ladder
But the higher you climb the farther you fall
It's all about the money, the fame and the girls
Whatever happened to the value of family first
Family comes before money and fame
And the girls are just fly buys that you rob in your past times
My heart breaks for this world
Because no one ever thinks to stop and hit the breaks
Because they want the first shot at this world going full speed
Why do so many people trade their lives to this world
This world means nothing in the end
It's just a ticking clock
What happens when the time runs out
You gave your soul to the world
You never took the time to listen to that preacher when you were a kid
You were just ready to make the highest bid
So what happens that one day when you stand before Jesus
And you will see him face to face
And unless you turn from your ways your going to see the face
You didn't want to see
As judgement comes you start to panic
And start looking for the rewind button
But all you can do as beg and plead
But you had your chance and you traded it for a tin glance
When the gavel comes down you'll find yourself
In a place of anguish
Absolute pain
Absolute misery
Unless you accept Christ as your savior
You wont find yourself in this world
You will find yourself
In a terrible place
Called Hell
Caleb John Jun 2019
You will know

That one loves God

When they cry out on their knees

Thy will be done
Caleb John Feb 2020
It's always a fight

To keep it in sight

Some think it's like flying a kite

But really it's costs a lot of sleepless nights

I bet you never thought you'd suffer a bite

Or get snuffed out like a light

For simply trying to do what's right
Caleb John Jan 2020
The new generation proposes destruction

Since when has one generation, in all of human history, changed the definition of right and wrong?

The God who built this world wrote what is write and wrong

He also gave warning to these acts that we play into a song

My generation makes purity just want to curl

The Lord of might will not bless a mockery of his creation that gives me the inclination to hurl

His grace abounds to redeem and change a heart that seeks him and his precepts as a jewel

Not those who care nothing of the almighty and only seem to chase what's cool

All I can say is that it is only a loving God that could save such fools as us.

But give ear to what I am saying, you are priceless

The devil can take that which is priceless and convince them that they are worthless

The hand of God will not be stayed from an unrepentant people for much longer
Dear fellow Christians, Do not be conformed to this world but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. For those who say their is no God, the one you hate loves you more then you can imagine, but if you do not bend your knee to his will, you will not be spared from his wrath. Call out to him, he will answer.
Caleb John Mar 2018
I could take what this world has to offer
I could live for the late nights
And wake up throwing up with guilt
I could take this world
That feels so good
That looks so good
That tastes so good
Or I could be dead to this world
I could live for my creator
Even if I stand alone
I will stand for him
I am dead to this world and I am alive in him
Caleb John Mar 2020
A symbol of hope

But there's no rope

How are you gonna climb this tree

It would be so easy to run and let it be

But then the impossible becomes possible

The strength of you makes the possible unstoppable

Even when the tree has been climbed

The glory is not mine

It is thine.

Almighty God
Caleb John Mar 2018
Here I am again
I come here on routine
To confess the things that I do
To confess what I have done wrong
What I need help with
I stand alone
I stand amazed
By the God
Who loves me
I stand unworthy
Before the Holy One
Although He is three in one
He is one
I stand here broken by what I have done to you
I failed you again
I stand here asking again
Why me?
You chose me to fight for you
Why?
I know you called me for something greater
Greater than the normal life
Why me?
There's nothing special about me
You didn't choose me for who I am
You know every failure I will ever make
Every second you have already lived
You gave me these gifts
I had no part of it
You made me who I am
One day
When I meet you
Face to Face
I will know
Caleb John Feb 2020
A time for love a time

A time for sorrow

A time for forgiveness

A time for joy

Some times it's hard

Bullets in your back don't heal like jack

We can still choose to love

Not just the one who shares your heart

Friends

Family

Brothers

Sisters

They are all part of your love
Caleb John Jan 2018
She grew up as a good girl
Got good grades
Had a nice family
A mother who loved her
A father who gave for her
Then one day walking to her car
That blue van pulled up on blew her life into a whole new park
For five years she was imprisoned
For her all her family knew she was dead
For five years she was used for pleasure
Her mind was destroyed
She was left
Starved of love
Beaten
Broken
It took five years for the cops to find her
To break her from her bonds
For five years she played victim
Then after five short years she was able to heal
She found the one who loved her
She found the God of Love
This poem is a fictional story that is based off the lives of many
Caleb John Feb 2018
Day after day
Night after night
I go on fighting for Christ
I go through the debates
The arguments
Trying to prove his existence
I don't know why I try when he'll already did
America knows the name of Jesus
They've heard the Gospel message
So why do I keep fighting
When he already won
I keep fighting because of love
I love the people of this world
I don't want them to fall to Satan
Instead I want them to jump to Christ
The world keeps telling me all the logistics
All the scientific facts
But even though their facts are false
They don't show the whole comparison
Over an argument
To win a stupid argument
That may not matter in the next 30 minutes
Why does this world keep stalling
When my God gave up the brawl
And slammed sin straight through the wall
If I'm wrong then my life will still have the same meaning as yours
But if your wrong then your going to regret it for eternity
My God has already won
And when he comes back every knee will bow
Every tongue will confess
That Jesus is God
All odds have come against him
And everything that came against him
Fell at his feet
The laws of death lie there broken
My sin lie's there
The sins of the world lie there
He has already won
So back down now
Give up your soul
And

Be

Embraced

By

Love
Caleb John Aug 2018
It's so easy for me

To sit down at this screen and talk about faith

To talk about doing great things

Believing that God can do anything

But sometimes it's not easy for me to believe

When I don't hear the voice of God I can get sad

I might feel like I've done something wrong

Or when I lose a loved one

I may not feel joy

But it's at these times I have to cling to faith

In the hard times I have to still believe

I know God will remain faithful even when it's hard

But I can't give up on the God who won me

And neither can anyone

We have to remain faithful to him because he is always faithful
Caleb John Jul 2019
My feet are so unsteady

Waves crash all around me

Tidal waves cause me too stumble

I see the storm that's coming

I scream and begin to sink

Then I fix my eyes on my salvation

Then I begin to stand again
Caleb John Mar 2019
Immovable

Unbreakable

Endless

Unstoppable

Unshakeable

Is the power of prayer
Caleb John Jul 2018
There's a bomb headed in this direction

The explosion will be bigger and more terrifying then anything this world has ever seen

This warhead will hit and destroy the world

Everyone has a way of escape

All you have to do is give up your fight against the God who loves you

He will save you

He wants to save you

The only way he can save you is if you accept his salvation

Don't be victim of your own sin

You see your sin created the warhead

You have doomed yourself

But Jesus can save you from your own doom

He loves you

He died for you so you don't have to

Give up your false gods

They won't satisfy

They're not enough
Caleb John May 2019
Run

Run from sin

Run from the lie that states the homosexual movement is right

Run from the lie that states we can take God's creation and spit on it

Run from adultery

Run from immorality

Run from deceit

Run from pride

Value you each other

Follow Biblical precepts

Fall onto the Grace of Christ

This isn't a hate speech to

homosexuals or gays/lesbians

Adulterers

Liars

Thieves

Gluttons

Or those who think they know better then God

This is the warning that says to run and repent from sin because it will **** your soul

Run from sin and into the arms of Christ

The reason I must speak is because if I don't who will tell you that you're running straight into Hell and there is a way out

I can't allow someone to blindly run into suicide when I know they can be saved.
This is the warning to all who have fallen short of God's Glory
Caleb John Sep 2019
Just chasing highs

Spending time until the clock ticks by

We just keep chasing pleasures and treasures

None of it matters

When will America stop wasting their youth on drugs and ***

When will we learn to study the words of wisdom

To remember the precepts of old

Of honor

Respect

Strength

Passion

Yet lawful

Selfless

Protective

Productive

An end to this useless taste
Caleb John Jan 2018
We float gently across the waters
We are individuals yet we make up an ocean
Sometimes we crash and were violent
Because our life at times is peaceful
Then it's rolled up into a tube and turned into the surf
We fail to see the big picture
That we are just a wave in an ocean of waves
Caleb John Mar 2019
Is what we are

Broken people

With problems and issues

Yet with the power of God's grace

We can become unstoppable
Caleb John Aug 2018
When I can't get back up
When I'm drowning and I can't see the surface
When I'm broken
When I'm beaten
When I don't know why
When I can't see past the day
When I can't see past the knife
God please put me on my knees
Show me your peace
Show me your love
Father open my eyes to your grace
When I'm at my weakest screaming for help
Put me on my knees
Raise my hands
Fold my fingers
Push them to my forehead
Remind me to pray
Caleb John Jan 2019
How can I get to the finish line

When I'm not the one running

You're the one who gives me the strength

But I keep messing it all up

I ask you to give me the strength to make it to the end of the line

I want to finish the race with honor

But every time I get up

I keep causing myself to stumble

Please hold me fast

Pick me up

Blow away my blunders

Crush my pride

Thinking I can do it on my own

When you designed every cell that composes my body

You gave me everything I needed

It's all you

So I guess the only way for you to tell me well done

Is for me to let go

Take the reigns
Caleb John Jul 2019
You just got crushed again

You gave in to the false lies

You ran to the mirage for water

Instead of the pure river

You let yourself get trampled by the devil

Many look up to you for leadership

Many believe you to be some kind of saint

Maybe they just don't want to believe what color you've been painted

Are you going to let the devil to continue to play with your mind till there's nothing left for him to capture?

You were just pushed to the ground

Are you just gonna lie there and let him kick you and beat you down?

Get up

Get up and fight like you're going to lose everything?

Can't you see the devil's eyes?

Do you see what he's doing to you?

Do you see what he'll take if you continue to let him beat you like an abused puppy?

Stand up and call upon Christ

Show that devil where he stands

Get up and fight!!!!!!
Caleb John Sep 2018
What do you see when you see me?

Says millions of people around the world

What do see in me?

It can't be anything good

I walk down the hall not a single boy ever looks at me

Why do all the girls try to stay clear of me?

All I see when I look in the mirror are the labels

Fat, stupid, worthless, unlovable, *******, hopeless, future less

How can anyone see anything good when they see my face?

I spend all my time under a hood walking through halls

Slipping between classes

Hoping no one sees me

That may be what you see when you look at yourself

That may be what people tell you

But I'm here to tell you something different

Jesus says something different

He says

I made you in my image

I created you to be you

I didn't make you to feel guilty after eating a simple meal

I didn't breathe life into you so others could tell you what you are

I already made you to be who you are

And don't you dare think that those labels were true because when I see you all I see is beauty because I love you and my love for you is endless

I love you enough to die for you

When I see you

I see what I created

Says Jesus Christ
Caleb John Jun 2018
I had it all
The fancy car
The mansion
The late nights with pretty girls
When my voice hit the mic the world worshiped me
Crowds sang with me
I had all the money in the world
I went everywhere
Did everything
I did as I pleased
I was only told what I wanted to hear
I had the crowds
I was in the magazines
My name was known all over the world
I built the greatest economic empire in history
The sun never set on my empire
I had all I ever wanted
Yet it never satisfied
I ruled the world
Yet I still craved more
I needed more
And then one day you saw my name on a magazine
And all you thought was
Another star that committed suicide
What a waste
The perspective of a rock star that had the world in his hands
Caleb John Feb 2018
I stepped out of what seemed like a dream

A life time of things past that have no meaning

As I stand here in a timeless gaze

Standing in awe through a haze

I stare at that timeless face

Angels sing

Trumpets blow

A city of gold stands behind him

People run to me

To welcome me home

But it all seems like a blur

As I feel the beautiful presence

The aroma of love

That seeps through the aura of his presence

He steps forward

His arms stretched out


And gives me a hug

And says

Welcome home my son
My depiction of Heaven
Caleb John Jul 2018
Where did it all start?

The shootings?

The riots?

The sky rocketing suicide rates?

People started living on anti depressants?

It started when the ten commandments were taken off school walls

It started when kids were told that their lives had no more value then that of gold fish

It started when we didn't give the God who loves us his proper praise

It started when we threw Christ out the door and said we can make it on our own

It started when people decided they wanted to live a life of their own

They decided to throw the way of life that protected us to the wind

Our lives became the worst they have ever been because we have abandoned God
Caleb John Dec 2018
You whispered

And the Stars came into existence

It's beautiful
Caleb John Jan 2018
People ask
If God loves us
Then why do bad things happen to his followers?
Here are some of the questions
Why did God allow me to be an orphan?
Why did God allow this injury to turn me into a monster
on the inside and out?
Why does God allow these temptations to haunt me?
Why does he allow my family to hate me?
Why do I have this disability?
Why did you allow my father to abuse me?
Here's why
Because he knew he could trust you with this hardship
He knew that you couldn't get through the pain alone
He knew that you had what it takes
He knew that he would be there to guide you through
He knew the limit to what your heart could take
He knew you are a fighter
He knew that with his power
He will shine the light through the darkness
He allowed this trial to come to you
Because he knew he could trust you with it
He knew you could do it
Those are only a few questions
I'm sure there are a lot more
John 14:27-28
27 Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid. You heard me say I am going away and I am coming back to you. If you loved me you would be glad that I am going to the Father, for the Father is greater than I
