"I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me” (Galatians 2:20). “And He was saying to them all, ‘If anyone wishes to come after … Continue reading Awestruck Grief

Wake Up!
This is a message to “Wake up” from our spiritual slumber, to rise from the dead, to strengthen what remains and is about to die, to remember what we have received and heard from God, to obey it, and to repent of our sins, and Christ will shine on us. The Lord gave me this … Continue reading Wake Up!
While They’re Sleeping
Shifting, creeping, while they’re sleeping,Through the windows they are peeping,Hidden glances and romances,They continue in their prances. Now they make for strange bedfellows,Lifting up their barks and bellows,Thirst for lust, not what is holy,They are moving very slowly. Not sincere, they hide their motives,Make excuses for explosives,Vain in worship, God not Master,Far from Him they … Continue reading While They’re Sleeping
Life’s a Game?
Headed nowhere, that’s the game.Changing nothing, still the same.Fighting battles, not to win,For intending to give in.

Making fun of everything.Joking, laughing, life’s a fling.Entertainment – where it’s at!They’re not kidding – that’s a fact! Have … Continue reading Life’s a Game?
The Test of Time
“If time was on our side,There would be no cause to hurry.Whatever we’ve been putting off,Would no more be a worry. “We could dawdle all we want,And take our good old time,And just relax, and have some fun,And bathe ourselves in life sublime.” But time’s not on our side.And, if that is what we’re thinking,That … Continue reading The Test of Time
Love Pursuing
Time is ticking, running out.Where is your faith? Do you doubt?What’s your practice? Where’s your life?Who’s your idol for tonight? Making noises, sing your songs.Blow your trumpets. Clang your gongs.Throw your parties. Chat with friends.Entertainment never ends. Love pursuing. Never find.Sin’s addictions not rewind.Going nowhere. Spin your wheels.Lust and lewdness are the thrill. Jesus Christ … Continue reading Love Pursuing
The Letters
Some of us, who call ourselves Christians today, may identify with one of these seven churches in Revelation more than others. Some of us may be ones who do a lot of the right things but we have forsaken our Lord because we are operating from the flesh and not from the Spirit of God. … Continue reading The Letters
