It's hard to extol the merits of mankind

and to lavish excessive praise is insane;

recognize the gamut of vain emotion

and treatment of our brothers that's inhumane.



The natural nature of man is hardly good -

Proof is found in our vocabulary;

despite incredible accomplishments of this world,

poor relationships of man to extremes are still carried.



Our literature and news is littered

with ugly views of crime and hate.

For brief review of the…

If I were...

    truly illuminated, what would you see?

    Could the brightness of Christ fully shine

    and the persona of me disappear?



If I were...

    gifted, in other unknown ways.

    Would I be able to discover them

    or would I choose to deny them anyway?



If I were...

    blessed, beyond Earthly needs.

    How much of myself would I be willing to share,

    besides just money and possessions?



If I were...

Etched into the soul's fine print
should be the motto "Handle with Care";
but Man's nature to ignore instruction
is manifested in Life's disrepair.

To have God's Word in written form
could be viewed as a "Human Warranty",
where divine ground rules for all
has abundance in the best that Life can be.

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 and His…

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 be…

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 desire…

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.

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 Himself…

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.

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"…

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…

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 of God lies…

Discoveries at Megiddo Prison

The recent discovery in Israel of a structure that may have served as a Christian church in the third or fourth century has captured the imagination of early Christian scholars, archaeologists, and the laity. Discovered during a preliminary dig prior to new construction at the Megiddo Prison, the 6 x 9-meter floor contained three Greek inscriptions that mention a centurion, three women, and a female benefactor. In addition to the mosaic floor, dwellings…

To be on your mountain top

with an elevated view,

could my chances increase

for getting a glimpse of You?

Standing barefoot in your presence

before a burning bush consumed,

would your glory envelop me

as a spiritual womb?

Moses saw your backside,

but show me instead your face and eyes.

Having direct interaction with you

should cause my faith to be revised.

Conquering obstacles of Life

via a mountainous climb,

while developing a…

Visionless is no way to be:

having sight, yet unable to see.

Soul's blindness that's dark and deep

indicates your spirit is fast asleep.



Use the Word to ignite your inner spark

and awaken your slumber by the Lord's Light.

To have Life's purpose and meaning for self

promotes character and personal delight.



Having vision is intended for all,

so get fitted with some new glasses.

Accomplishments are attainable, provided you're

willing to use…

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 with souls…
