Be A Gospel Doer ~

Be a Gospel doer,
read your Bible and then act
don’t just be a Gospel hearer
you need to give something back.

You can lend a helping hand,
or give someone your ear
let everyone know you’ll be
a friend who is always near.

Pray for those who ask,
even more for those who don’t
plead for their salvation
because you know they won’t.

Look for the good in others,
most only see their weakness
tell them Jesus loves them
for their own uniqueness.

There’s so much you can do,
to help other people out
all you have to do is ask
why Jesus they even doubt.

If you don’t have the answers,
I know just where to look
for the Life, Truth and Way
are written in the Good Book!

“Let your light so shine

your good works,and glorify your

Good Morning Quote ~12.26.18~

I Will Praise God’s Word ~

I will praise God’s Word,
for its powerful and true
in God’s Word, I will trust
in everything I do.

I will behold its wisdom,
it will be my guiding light
the lamp that directs me
whether it be, day or night.

I will praise God’s Word,
I will hold it in high regard
for it will not let me down
its truth, I will not discard.

I will cling to its promise,
to give me, mighty power
I will claim its strength
my every waking hour.

I will praise God’s Word,
for it’s in God, I  believe
other gospels will only  . . .
mislead and deceive!

Psalm 56:10

“In God will I praise his word:
in the Lord will I praise his word.”

To God Be The Glory ~

Lord, I want to bring You glory,
I want to do right by You . . .
I want the light of Your salvation
in my life to shine brightly through.

I want to be the salt,
the flavor of Your grace
I want my soul to reflect
the wonder of Your face.

I want to move mountains,
to part the ocean wave
I want to be Your soldier
for You, Your Gospel slave.

I want to taste Your manna,
sip the nectar of Your vine
I want to be Your branch
I want our lives to intertwine.

I want to be Your vessel,
the clay upon Your wheel
I want to see Your image,
to know Your godly will.

Lord, I want to bring You glory,
I want to sing Your praise . . .
I want the world to know
that for You, my heart’s ablaze!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Isaiah 60:1-2
King James Version

“Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the
glory of the Lord is risen upon thee. For,
behold, the darkness shall cover the earth,
and gross darkness the people: but the
Lord shall arise upon thee, and his glory
shall be seen upon thee.”

Pressing Into The Goal ~

It’s not about a contest,
it’s about the one you enter in
for the race that’s before you
can be full of good or full of sin.

It’s not about how fast you are,
it’s about your direction
and if to the Gospel of grace
you will make a connection.

It’s not about the time you run,
it’s about pressing into the goal
and if you follow after Jesus
with all your heart and soul.

It’s not about the finish line,
it’s about how close you come
to the mark of a higher calling
and the glory of God’s kingdom.

It’s not about the winning,
it’s about your defeat and loss
and if you gained true knowledge
of why Christ died on the cross!

~~~~~~~~

Philippians 3:7
King James Version

“But what things were gain to me,
those I counted loss for Christ.”

Be A Doer ~

Be a doer of the Word,
read your Bible and then act
don’t just be a Gospel hearer
you must give something back.

You can lend a helping hand,
or give someone else your ear
let everyone know you will be
a friend who is always near.

Pray for those who ask you to,
and more so, for those who don’t
pray for their salvation
because you know they won’t.

Look for the good in others,
most people see their weakness
let them know Jesus loves them
and sees their uniqueness.

There’s so much that you can do,
to help other people out
all you have to do is ask them
what their worries are all about.

If you don’t have the answers,
I know just where to look
for the Truth, the Way, and the Light
are written in the Good Book!

Matthew 5:16
King James Version

“Let your light so shine
before men, that they may see
your good works,and glorify your
Father which is in heaven.”

Liars ~

Liars, all liars
wolves in sheep skin
taking the Word of God
putting on it their own spin.

Twisting and slanting,
the Word until it fits
not caring what story
that it flips or knits.

Liars, all liars,
sin to them hasn’t a yoke
shunning the Gospel truth
turning the cross into a joke.

Filling up the pews,
counting all the money
lies on their greedy lips
taste as sweet as honey.

Liars, all liars
fruits that are rotting
stinking to high heaven
liars, who need stopping!

~~~~~~~

Matthew 7:15
King James Version

“Beware of false prophets,
which come to you
in sheep’s clothing,
but inwardly they are
ravening wolves.”
