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? Some of you are quite sincere,Follow Jesus, have Him near.Hearts are given o’er to Christ.Now to sin NOT are enticed. … Continue reading What’s Important?

What is life?How or when does it have meaning?Why are we here?What purpose do we serve? Are we here by happenstance?Are we here solely for ourselves –For our own survival –To do what pleases us only?

It’s their habitTo suppress the truth, … Continue reading Hurting and Lonely
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

Love depends not on emotions,Love enhanced by our devotion,Loyalty to vows … Continue reading Man and Wife
