Speaking of Jesus Christ: “He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation.

Wayward Children

Wayward children, wandering souls,Thoughtless people, varying roles,Walk in darkness, seeing no light,For from Jesus, taken their flight. Have no mercy, walking in sin,Self-indulgent, drinking their gin,All about them, not about God,But the many wear a façade.

Lies and Betrayals

Lies and betrayals,And many a tale,And multitudes sacrificedWhile their chiefs hailed. Ribbons and marches,And buildings and arches,And letters of magnitude,And those of gratitude. Crowds of confusionAnd lots of illusionsLeaves many in darknessRegardless of smartness. The enemy knows how to fool,Armored with many a tool,Knows where our triggers lie,Knows that for what we’ll die. For he … Continue reading Lies and Betrayals

A False Hope for Salvation

“The Lord looks down from heaven;he sees all the children of man;from where he sits enthroned he looks outon all the inhabitants of the earth,he who fashions the hearts of them alland observes all their deeds.The king is not saved by his great army;a warrior is not delivered by his great strength.The war horse is … Continue reading A False Hope for Salvation
