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

Bitterness
Bitterness will eat you up,Make you now its slave.Bitterness will fill your cup,Drink from it always. Bitterness affects your life,Happiness not found.Bitterness will grind you up,Churning round and round. Must forgive if you be freeFrom what holds you down.Must depart from bitter roots,Or in them you’ll drown. Sadness steals the joyful heart,Turns a smile to … Continue reading Bitterness
It’s Passing Away
The world as we know it is passing away.Corrosion, corruption have come here to stay.The lies and deceptions are plain as can be.They capture the multitudes; few are now free. They kill and they trick and they lie through their teeth.They think they’re above, but they’re really beneath.So many believe them, who fall for their … Continue reading It’s Passing Away

We are to make disciples (followers of Christ) of all nations. We are to baptize them in the name of the Father, … Continue reading Your New Life

His Loving Arms
May 31, 2011: I was babysitting my one-year-old grandson at his house yesterday. He had a stuffed toy musical turtle that played notes when you pressed on the squares, with notes pictured on the squares. So, I began playing notes for my grandson when this tune began to form. So, I recorded it from the … Continue reading His Loving Arms
