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…

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…

In the quiet garden of Heaven,

one day I'll walk beneath the trees

with the coolness of God's Spirit

flowing more gently than an Earthly breeze.



In the royal kingdom of priests,

I'll run barefoot on streets of soft gold,

overwhelmed by the perfection of peace,

following where angels had previously strolled.



Before the awesome throne room,

I'll exude continual heartfelt praise

as part of God's familial host

safe and secure in everlasting…

Pushing this flesh into alignment,

guided by The Word most holy and pure,

I'm striving to learn principles

for a sanctified life to endure.



My Lord loves me without hesitation

and allowed a part of Himself to die.

He's calling me homeward without reservation;

by His Spirit, to His side, I'll eventually fly.



Knowing I'm a child of His,

during trying times I find true encouragement.

I'm able to lean on His strength

while in search of…

His blessings upon my life flow -

No matter where I am

or wherever I happen to go.



Overcoming the curse of Mankind,

is a consuming, infinite Love

from the One declared divine.



As I continue inside His Will,

sheltered by Sacrificial grace,

His many promises are fulfilled.



Truly blessed, to be a blessing

is simple for anyone to see -

As I'm fully submerged... in God's covering.

--Joe…

My earthly desire is to have...

a woman comprised of softness,

both in flesh and soul.

Her presence offsets the hardness

of everyday living that bluntly smacks me.

To be with a spirit, overflowing with joy,

greeting me daily with unexpected sweetness,

soothes all internal bruises from

the day's accumulation of subtle brutality.

Rubies belie her value to me;

her natural radiance permeates my core,

allowing me to experience…

Foolishness of Jehovah

exceeds the wisdom of Mankind;

torture by crucifixion

was to serve as a deterrent

to stop all forms of crime.



Inhumane treatment

demonstrates insatiable blood thirst

in a vain attempt to bring out

the best character of man

by placing World's justice system first.



However, death of the Innocent Lamb,

a perfect sacrifice God did decree

to bridge the gap of sin

using Man's worst punishment

in a twist of…

Crisis of Faith is an Identity Crisis

Often, people with a weak identity in Christ will struggle to believe that God loves them, or that He cares for them personally. They may feel that they have lost their salvation, because of sin in their life or because of troubles that have come. “Oh, sure”, they say “I believe Jesus is The Savior – I know He died for my sins and that He rose from the dead. But, I don't think God cares about me, and I don't…

Standing at the threshold

of Death's ultimate door,

my last gasp escapes me...

As I've never experienced before.



Into the Heavenly realm

I ascend in wonderment,

now housed in an incorruptible body

and thankful that from sin I did repent.



Standing in God's throne room

freed of all Earthly flesh,

my spiritual essence is energized

and feeling fully refreshed.



Now gathered unto my Savior,

unencumbered reality is more than it…

Hello Everyone,

She has been taken to the hospital there.She may have aspirated.Here is her story.

Here is her link on facebook.…

The most notorious faith killer in all of life: worry. “For this reason I say to you, do not be anxious for your life, as to what you shall eat, or what you shall drink; nor for your body, as to what you shall put on. Is not life more than food, and the body than clothing?” (Matthew 6:25).

Being something of a wordsmith, I find the term worry fascinating. To begin with, the word used by Matthew (translated here as “anxious”) is the Greek term merimnao. It is a…

Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your…
