Now that people are becoming more aware of my poetic efforts, interests are being expressed regarding the background of my poetry - in addition, to my spiritual muse. In this installment, I briefly look at the crucifixion of Christ - an event central to the core beliefs of Christianity. This poem was composed in February 2007, in anticipation of that year's celebration of Resurrection Sunday (Easter).

If I were relegated to a single television channel, it would be the "History…

What is the true story of salvation and redemption in the Bible?

I love the work of All about God.com.  People are getting saved all over the world and I want to be part of  it.  When our Lord and Savior come and all of us are speechless I want my works in Jesus or Ye'shua to speak for me.

All of our witnessing and the good deeds in Him speak volumes as to our love for Him and our fellow believers.   We are save by grace but if we are we are also transformed and…

Now that people are becoming more aware of my poetic efforts, interests are being expressed regarding the background of my poetry - in addition, to my spiritual muse. In this installment, I share a blurb regarding my poem "Enjoy This Season".

Lots of people like to surmise about the idea of living in a different period of recorded humanity, such as: Italy's Renaissance (circa 1400-1600 ad), the building of the Greek or Roman Empires, the time of Christ and so forth. However, not me.…

Those disembodied remnants,

Earthly remains of unknown souls,

are now assembled at my doorstep.

Having piqued my attention,

who are these unwelcome houseguests?

Loved ones or Nordic heroes

who were consumed in funeral pyres?

How old are these molecules

that have been forever scattered

during these past centuries?

Unwanted leftovers of human containers,

eaten by microscopic mites,

nibble at my presence

and wait for my spirit to dry…

Forcing an alignment of corporate resources

for some theory of best fit correlation

doesn't work on Kingdom People

when using an unspoken method of tabulation.



If Life is about true spiritual growth,

then why do ministries attempt to pigeon-hole

not making any allowances for us

to develop, expand and break our current mold?



Despite multitudes of outcome possibilities

the Church seems to suffer bouts of paralysis

from the continued mashing of…

Now that people are becoming more aware of my poetic efforts, interests are being expressed regarding the background of my poetry - in addition, to my spiritual muse. In this installment, I speak to a poem that ends in a direction, not initially considered...

I've attended Church services for more than 3.5 decades; as a youth, I was raised in a Baptist Church (in southern Maine). For those unfamiliar with this division of Christianity, there's nothing more important than studying "The…

Finding Truth and Seeking Understanding.  Keys to Effective Conversation

in a Christian Context. 

What Makes a Discussion "Real?" "Real" discussion relies on three key virtues: Faith, Hope, and Love. …

Now that people are becoming more aware of my poetic efforts, interests are being expressed regarding the background of my poetry - in addition, to my spiritual muse. One never knows exactly when the Spirit of God will move on your soul; fortunately I was paying a little bit of attention, one cold winter night...

I've been a member of the IT (Information Technology) community since June of 1981, a profession that constantly tries to turn you into a slave from an employee. Rarely did I…

Wellspring of spiritual water,

It's bubbling inside me.

Gently soothes my bruised soul -

Covering Life's pain of mystery.



Unseen surging river,

Courses through body mortal -

Renewing my energy,

Forced through this open portal.



Full to overflowing,

Come stand next to me,

Let the excess splash on you -

To prime your own jubilee.



This internal source,

Never shall run dry;

For Hope springs eternal,

Keeping this flood in…

Experiencing God directly, is the way to go –

Be submerged in His Spirit, under His heavenly flow.

The lighted path to absolute freedom and peace

is accomplished from following Jehovah’s method of release.

The keys to Life’s issues are written in The Word;

open up your soul so the message can be heard.

God’s plan for your life will be ultimately revealed,

provided to Him you submit and your life you yield.

Demonstrate unwavering faith and be His…

Please forgive the simplicity of rhyme,

for I wish to be clear and take my time.



It’s never been “pc” to be Christian in any century,

out of step with the World, in what ones does or sees.



Having ideals may make me seem pompous,

even though I have no desire to impress.



I’m attempting to follow a Heavenly Plan,

by being a godly steward and serving fellow Man.



What I write from the heart, for me is real;

although as a guy, I’m not…

Impossible tasks -
Can not be achieved by Man,
but by God Himself!

Reaching Towards His Unbounded Glory
A Journey Of... Poetic Purpose

 Years ago, while still a teenager,

a white flag in my heart I waved;

for I tendered a total surrender

to the Lord on the day I was saved.



From Salvation’s message properly explained,

my spirit easily recognized absolute Truth;

so my desire towards Christ was ignited

with acceptance of Him in my childhood’s youth.



Learning from others’ mistakes

and reading the Word with diligence,

in supplication’s prayers I requested

Solomon’s gift of…

Written down is God's Word;

we are encouraged to be heavenly, joint heirs.

So examine His Word for Truth's proof,

for His wish is that 'we join Him there'.



Jehovah first gave of Himself,

breathing Life into Man's creation.

Now He is waiting patiently...

And anticipating a grand celebration.



Final merging of the family tree

are earthly souls and angelic beings;

hear the chorus of praise resound

from all of us eternally…

We see everyday that millions of people are dying around the world every second. Within the Christian faith, there is a lot of confusion regarding what happens after death. Some people claim death is final some claim life begins after death, some claim everyone is in sleep until the second coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, some others believe that when some one dies instantly they are judged according to their fruits ,few others believe that they go to be with Christ immediately after death.…

At the end of yet another week,

weary soldiers are huddled behind church doors,

reminiscing about the recent past with outlook bleak -

Not knowing that Life can offer so much more.



Military plans for Earth's invasion

are held by the Kingdom priests,

trying to comprehend the message of scriptural persuasion

for bringing captive lives to Godly release.



Between berating and war counsel cries,

there are mixed signals being presented.

Separating…

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 Life

and…

Not physical internal pain, it's much worse than that. It's the pain people don't see. It's the pain that is there but people don't know it...after all how could they when you don't show it. When you smile and they don't know of the struggle that is within. When you want to cry but can't because you're afraid they'll see the tears and eventually find out the problem.

I want to go home. Jesus sees and knows of this internal struggle...this battle going on inside of…
