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 … Continue reading While They’re Sleeping

Emotions and Devotions
Don’t let your emotions ruin your devotions. Don’t let your thinking be a cause for sinking. Don’t let the chatter cause your faith to shatter. Don’t turn the tables and put your trust in fables. Time now is fleeting. Who are you believing? Truth is what matters. Listen not what flatters. Listen to The Bible … Continue reading Emotions and Devotions
Life Uncertain
Texting, vexing, and now sexting Windows open, shadows lurking People peek behind the curtains Life now surely so uncertain Evil is around the corner In the shadows, under cover Waiting, tempting, looks for targets Self-indulgent always searching Dreamers, sluggards, time a wasting Fearing not a judgment hastening Take God’s gift of grace for granted For … Continue reading Life Uncertain
Ring Out the Sound
Ring out the sound, ring out the bells, And of the gospel, tell them, tell. Do not hold back, and please don’t slack, For many of the truth do lack. Get that truth out, give it a shout, And don’t you now have any doubt That God can take it, take it far, So be … Continue reading Ring Out the Sound

The Pathway
She walked along a pathway And stumbled over stones. The pathway was not clear for her, And so she oft did roam. Her trinkets were her treasure, But not to others give. She selfishly held on to those And not for Christ did live. He in his pride was selfish, Held on to all his … Continue reading The Pathway
