What Faith Looks Like
What’s Important?
Christian brother, where are you?Christian sister, and you, too.What’s important? Do you know?Does it matter? Does it show? Your intentions, what are they?Read your Bible, kneel and pray?Have devotions here and there?Share the gospel anywhere?

The Darkest Night
Dimly lit, the darkest night,Is the light of truth inside?Masqueraders all around,Many turned now into clowns. Charlatans now lead the sheepWho are falling fast asleep.Nill endeavor truth to find,They are very truly blind. Many hardened hearts to truthThey live wicked lives, uncouth.Masquerade as righteousness,But they live in wickedness. Foolish hearts turn to their sin,High on … Continue reading The Darkest Night

All my heart to Him I give, ever to … Continue reading Love Lifted Me

Light and Fluffy
Light and fluffy, they are feedingWhat the people think they’re needing.Feel good messages are their shelter,But now they are helter-skelter. Life with frolic is a plenty,But the truth, now who’s got any?Lies galore and misplaced feelings,Have them on the line they’re reeling. Keep it light, now pitter-patter,So they know not what’s the matter.Make excuses, feed … Continue reading Light and Fluffy
Light the Candles
Light the candles, smell them burning,While the gospel, men are churning,And the hearts of men not turningFrom their sins. And God not learning. Religious practice is their cover.Sinful lifestyles, they’re not over.Godless idols are their lover.Righteousness is not their mover. Wickedness is what is leading,While they go on now deceiving,And the lies they’re now believing.And … Continue reading Light the Candles
