The Bible is replete with many
cautionary tales, of real people,
who have stumbled on their path
of Faith; like us, their journey

was fraught with unexpected woe.
Momentary mental lapses remind us,
of the need to capture detrimental
desires and thoughts; when we go,

anywhere without His Presence, we
take foolish risks. Are priorities
in alignment with His plan for our
lives? Are we, now hoping to see,

an escape from our accountability?
We must stay steadfast in our Godly
commitments and responsibilities;
if we fail, how will The World see…

that God is still relevant to Mankind?
Inspired by:
Matt 6:33; 2 Cor 10:5; 2 Tim 1:7

Many people are afraid of becoming
Christians; the concept of caring,
showing compassion, giving of one’s
self and resources, or being simply
vulnerable before others, can be…
unnerving. We know, that trusting

ourselves may be a risky proposition.
That’s why we continually lean on His
Strength, His Name, His Truth and His
Word. We’re not operating alone; and
we’re not meant… to do so. As we find
Faith’s inner steel in His Salvation,

it also provides the necessary footing
for us to move forward. We’ve no real
reason to fear the Darkness, for His
Light pierces it easily, when we speak
against it. Rise up; stand in Faith!
Without Him, we’re technically nothing.
Inspired by:
John 1:3, 5:19, 15:4-5; Jer 10:23;
Phil 4:13; Deu 31:8; Matt 6:33; Gal 6:3  and
.
The best people possess a feeling for beauty,
the courage to take risks, the discipline to
tell the truth, the capacity for sacrifice.
Ironically, their virtues make them vulnerable;
they are often wounded, sometimes destroyed.
-Ernest Hemingway

If we’re not energized by Love,
then our Faith will fall short
of His expectations; our desire
should be, to lovingly exhort…

others to enter into His Kingdom.
Enabling the lost to become saved,
demonstrates your love for God and
a genuine impartation, of wisdom
  
from Him, into your spirit; with
the peace of Christ, we are able  
to live with compassion and touch
the heart of souls. He enables…

us to live honorably, with absolute
tranquility, as we divinely produce
a lifetime of a supernatural, never
-ending crop of Faith’s passion fruit.
Inspired by:
Phil 4:7; Gal 5:6b, 5:22-23

The stunted growth of the Church…
is spiritually sad and reflects
a continued inability of the Body
to operate in unity; between poor
leadership and overall ignorance,
souls are miffed, left in a lurch

of stagnant thinking. If we’re not
led by His Spirit and we’re blindly
conducting ourselves, without the
mind of Christ, then what will we…
really accomplish? If we are not
in His Word, what is being taught?

Fortunately, God is very patient;
His Grace, Mercy and Consolation
is freely given; we need to mature
now; we need to get out of these
spiritual hospital beds as soldiers.
Do we expect to receive outpatient

services… in Heaven for eternity?

Rom 15:5; Lam 3:22-24;

over and over again and expecting
different results. -Unknown

In its blind search of free
love, The World continues to
lust after it, even though
it’s already available to all,
who would grasp it. We see…

that Jehovah has already paid
the heavy price, as His Son
was crucified upon the Tree of
Calvary; the gift of Salvation
awaits acceptance; now laid

to waste, are Humanity’s sins.
Although we’ve been instructed
to choose Life, some prefer a
pathway to Death; a Light shines
and all, are… beckoned within

Heaven’s gates of eternity.
Inspired by:
John 3:16-17; 2 Cor 6:2; Deu 30:19

There’s no other way, when it comes
to appreciating and loving our God;
we acknowledge the Son’s sacrifice
and we should now willingly succumb

to His Kingdom’s plan. His interests
in Humanity, are well known; Christ
has claimed us for His inheritance;
are we His bride or a faded mistress,

who has given up on having holiness?
Our genuine affection for Him must be
complete and wholeheartedly; nothing
less is worthy of His righteousness!
Inspired by:
Mark 12:30; Rom 14:7-9; 1 Pet 1:3-5;
Rev 19:7-9

Can the words, that I compose
set people afire… for Christ?
Can I believe that His Spirit
flows in me? Only God knows…

the aching hearts of others,
better than I. Now, I’m not
wanting lame excuses, for not
seeing sisters and brothers

of His eternal Kingdom. Yet,
I hope, to spur them onward
for the sole benefit of this
fallen World. My God had set

sacred principles, previously
into motion; and I’ve applied
His Truth to my life and can
now see them… at work in me.

With new evidence, I’ve begun
to see that fatigued hearts of
His people are being moved, as
we all strive to become one…

with Christ, our blessed Lord!

1 Cor 6:17
