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

Sin is Knocking
Sin is knocking at your door,Knocking, knocking, don’t ignore,Working its way in your heart,Hoping from truth you’ll depart. Don’t deny you’re tempted toDo what you ought not to do.Don’t pretend you’ll not give inWhen you’re playing now with sin. Subtle, coming through back doors,Is this sin you can’t ignore.Soon as you think, “Got it licked!”,It … Continue reading Sin is Knocking
Day In, Day Out
Day in, day out, what’s it all about?What’s your purpose – gives you cause to shout?What you feeding body, soul and mind?What you seeking – trying now to find? Give direction of your whereabouts.Are you somewhere that’s worth finding out?Marching forward, now in tune with God?Or you’re faking, so you’re just a fraud? Who’s your … Continue reading Day In, Day Out
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 Joy of You
“But whatever was to my profit I now consider loss for the sake of Christ. What is more, I consider everything a loss compared to the surpassing greatness of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things. I consider them rubbish, that I may gain Christ and be found in … Continue reading The Joy of You

Praise Be Told
Jesus Christ, God the Son, came to earth, took on human flesh, suffered as we suffer, and was tempted as we are tempted, yet without sin. He was despised, rejected, persecuted, abandoned, denied, betrayed, beaten, mocked, and killed, although he had done no wrong. God made him who knew no sin to be sin for … Continue reading Praise Be Told
Living Water
“On the last day of the feast, the great day, Jesus stood up and cried out, ‘If anyone thirsts, let him come to me and drink. Whoever believes in me, as the Scripture has said, “Out of his heart will flow rivers of living water”’” (Jn. 7:37-38 ESV). Many within the church of today have … Continue reading Living Water

Jesus died that we might die to sin and live to righteousness (See: 1 Pet. 2:24). He died that we might no longer live for ourselves, but for him who gave his life up for us (See: 2 Co. 5:15).
