The Things I Have Seen ~

I have seen morality fade,
the withering of man’s ethics
I have seen people lives canceled
by the pundits and skeptics.

I have seen a government,
become by greed corrupt
I have seen the rage of hate
on city streets erupt.

I have seen earthy riches,
turn cold the heart of man
I have seen lawlessness
disperse across the land.

I have seen the propaganda,
the promoting of hypocrisy
I have seen the erosion
of freedom and democracy.

I have seen the falling away,
of those who once believed
I have seen how the children
by education are deceived.

I have seen the fruit plummet,
far from the True Vine
I have seen the Gospel truth
become dull and benign.

But what I have yet to see,
are all the things eternal
and I know till Jesus come
all I see now is temporal!

~~~~~~

2 Corinthians 4:18

While we look not at
the things which are seen,
but at the things which are
not seen: for the things
which are seen are temporal;
but the things which are not
seen are eternal.

~ to GOD be the GLORY ~

Good Morning Quote ~10.19.20~

Living In A Fallen World ~

In a world fallen,
we’re all victims
we suffer from sin
and its symptoms.

We lie and cheat,
our neighbor’s we cuss
we’re full of envy
filled with greed and lust.

We rebel, we rise up,
we’re full of pride
our hatred for others
we do not try to hide.

We cheat and take,
we rob and we steal
babies in the womb
everyday we kill.

In a world fallen,
we are all living
and from our sins
we need forgiving.

We need God,
to heal each one
through the blood
of His precious Son.

We need Jesus,
to release the pain
so He can wash away
sin’s deadly stain.

In a world fallen,
we are all a part
and we need God’s love
in each and every heart!

~~~~~~~~~~

Romans 13:9

“For this,
Thou shalt not commit adultery,
Thou shalt not kill,
Thou shalt not steal,
Thou shalt not bear false witness,
Thou shalt not covet;
and if there be
any other commandment,
it is briefly
comprehended in this saying,
namely,
Thou shalt love
thy neighbour as thyself.”

What’s Hate Got To Do With It ~

I am called a bigot,
told my speech is full of hate
but, all I want to do is to lead
others to the narrow gate.

I am called to be a witness,
for my Lord and Savior
and I need to tell people
about God’s mercy and favor.

If I didn’t care about the lost,
or those who are unsaved . . .
why would I be so concerned
about how they behaved?

I am called intolerant,
irrespective of reasoning
what’s hate got to do with it
if I’m following Jesus’ teaching?

If I didn’t know Jesus,
I wouldn’t need to share His grace
nor the love He has for all . . .
if only His life, they’d embrace.

I am a Christian,
I am a sinner too . .
that’s why they want to silence
all people, who think like I do!

Acts 3:19

“Repent ye therefore, and be converted,
that your sins may be blotted out,
when the times of refreshing shall
come from the presence of the Lord.”

What If ~

What if there was no pain,
no grief, no more misery
no tears left to collect
no more human agony?

What if there was no hunger,
no thirst, nor starvation
no want or need left unmet
no dying from prostration?

What if there was no murder,
no killing, nor slaughter
no more innocent victim
no soul so cold and bitter?

What if there was no hatred,
no disgust, nor loathing
no heart so full of evil
no more darkness looming?

What if there was no pain,
no sorrow, no grief, no tear
what if Jesus never promised
to come again and live here?

~~~~~~~~~~

Revelation 21:4

“And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes;
and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow,
nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain:
for the former things are passed away.”

What Are You Sowing?

Some sow to the spirit,
some sow to the flesh . . .
some will be found in the wheat
some will be left in the thresh.

Some sow seeds of goodness,
some sow seeds of evil . . .
some will be found faithful
some will be left for the devil.

Some sow seeds of love,
some sow seeds of hate . . .
some will be found victorious
some will be left at the wide gate.

Some sow seeds of generosity,
some sow seeds of greed and lust
some will be in the Book of Life
some will burn in their disgust.

Some sow seeds of repentance,
some sow seeds of sin’s design . . .
some will be found up in heaven
some will be left behind!

~~~~~~~~~~

Luke 3:17

“Whose fan is in his hand,
and he will throughly purge his floor,
and will gather the wheat into his garner;
but the chaff he will burn with fire unquenchable.”

There’s A Conspiracy ~

There is a conspiracy,
a plot is in the air . . .
if you’d really look into it
it’ll give you quite a scare.

There is a heist,
a robbery of our senses
one day you and I . . .
will be left with no defenses.

There is a plot,
a scheme to dominate
our invaders are full
of nothing, but pure hate.

There is a storm,
an incursion to override
life and liberty . . .
till we are all polarized.

There is an attack,
an invasion of our rights
we’ll be left unprotected
with no means in which to fight.

There is a plan,
to take away our freedom
and soon they’ll usher in
an evil One-World kingdom!

Daniel 7:23
King James Version

“Thus he said, The fourth beast shall be
the fourth kingdom upon earth,
which shall be diverse from all kingdoms,
and shall devour the whole earth,
and shall tread it down, and break it in pieces.”
