Good Morning Quote ~10.03.20~

 

 

Take the Plunge ~

Go ahead,
dive right in
be washed
from your sin

Take the plunge,
into the waters
that are Living
without borders.

Go ahead,
jump into the Well
save yourself
form the pit of hell.

Take the leap,
into the Spring
life everlasting
to you it’ll bring.

Go ahead,
drink thereof . . .
the Living Waters
of God’s love!

~~~~~

John 4:10-11

Jesus answered and said unto her,
If thou knewest the gift of God,
and who it is that saith to thee,
Give me to drink; thou wouldest
have asked of him, and he would
have given thee living water.

The woman saith unto him,
Sir, thou hast nothing to
draw with, and the well is deep:
from whence then hast thou
that living water?

John 4:14

But whosoever drinketh of the water
that I shall give him shall never
thirst; but the water that I shall
give him shall be in him a well of
water springing up into everlasting life.

There’s No Fear Today ~

There is no fear,
of God today . . .
there’s no concern
for judgment day.

There’s no despair,
about hell today
there’s just too many
on the wide way.

There’s no dread,
over evil today
there’s not a soul
satan can’t sway.

There’s no turning,
from sin today
there’s so few left
on the straight way.

There’s no fear,
of God today . . .
but there’ll be trembling
come judgment day!

~~~~~~~

Proverbs 1:7

The fear of the Lord
is the beginning of
knowledge: but fools
despise wisdom
and instruction.

Good Morning Quote ~03.25.19~

Eternal Grief ~

I could read everything offered,
on religion and theology
but, if I don’t believe in Jesus
it would all just be garbology.

I could study every book,
written by man on his thought
but, if I don’t believe in Jesus
all I’ve gleaned will be for naught.

I could go to a university,
cram long into the dead of night
but, if I don’t believe in Jesus
I will never see the True Light.

I could take tests and exams,
to see what I’ve learned
but, if I don’t believe in Jesus
in hell I’ll forever burn.

I could read everything offered,
by man about his belief . . .
but, if I don’t believe in Jesus
I’ll just end up with eternal grief!

Good Morning Quote ~09.14.18~

Before God ~

One day before God,
you will give an account
as to why you shunned Him
and shut His Son out.

One day you will be,
to God accountable
and for your rebellion
be held responsible.

One day judgement’s seat,
you will have to face
and tell God why you rejected
His gift of love and grace.

One day Jesus.
will determine your fate
and open up to you the pit
and not the narrow gate.

One day before God,
you will bow . . .
one day Jesus’ name
you will avow!

“For it is written,
As I live, saith the Lord,

My Shepherd Knows Me ~

 

My Shepherd knows me,
and I know His voice
so I follow Him . . .
it is my choice.

When I need comfort,
on His staff I lean
so His peace and calm
my heart can glean.

When in a valley,
He guides me along
when I get weary
He makes me strong.

When a mountain,
I have to face
He provides me with
more of His grace.

The Lord’s my Shepherd,
He knows me oh, so well
I choose to follow Him . . .
so not to end up in hell!

Repent, Repent, Repent ~

What ever happened to,
the old man on the street . . .
holding his sign warning
everyone that he’d meet?

There was a truth to be told,
a new kingdom was to come
and he was not too worried
about offending anyone.

Most people mocked him,
but, he didn’t feel any shame
for he wasn’t seeking after
worldly fortune or fame.

He wasn’t a rich man,
in fact he looked quite poor
but the riches that he had
were eternal and forever more.

What happened to the old man,
whose message rang a bell?
Repent ~ Repent ~ Repent
or you’ll go straight to hell!

~~~~~~

Mark 1:15

“And saying, The time is fulfilled,
and the kingdom of God is at hand:
repent ye, and believe the gospel.

Good Morning Quote ~ 01.24.18

Come and Consider ~

Come now and think,
let this sink in . . .
let us reason about
the effects of sin.

Contemplate with Me,
sin’s ramification
lets explore the meaning
of eternal damnation.

Let us mull this over,
where has sin gotten you
let’s consider together
what you need to do.

Envision with Me,
your sins forgiven
a life of peace and joy
with Me up in heaven.

Come now and think,
imagine a life sin free
that is what I can give
to all who love Me!

Love Jesus

In My Bible ~

Somethings in my Bible I’ve found  . . .

the Word of Life
the end to strife
the mind of God
the road that’s broad
the state of man
the eternal plan
the heart of Jesus
the grace that frees us
the true Vine
the new wine
the gift of salvation
the doom of damnation
the way of hope
the how to cope
the river of pleasure
the everlasting treasure
the guidance needed
the laws to be heeded
the mercy-seat
the Savior’s feet
the schemes of the devil
the powers in high-levels
the Light
the fight
the path
the wrath
the Way
the escape
from
judgment day!

When The Thief Comes ~

When the thief comes,
it could be day or night
for all he cares about
is stealing Jesus’ light.

He has up his sleeve,
a life gripping plan
for, he wants to snatch you
right out of God’s hand.

His purpose is clear,
in hell he wants you
for, he’s out to destroy
your heavenly view.

He will discourage you,
he wants you defeated
for, he wants you to feel
you have been cheated.

When the thief comes,
you may be awake or asleep
for, all satan cares about . . .
is stealing Jesus’ sheep!

~~~~~~~~

John 10:10

“The thief cometh not,
but for to steal,
and to kill,
and to destroy:

I am come that they
might have life,
and that they might
have it more abundantly.”

In It To Win It ~

Beaten, but not broken,
down, but not out
for I’m in this fight
to win the bout.

Shattered, but not crushed,
weak, but not frail
for there’s no way
Satan’s taking me to hell.

Tattered, but not torn,
bleak, but not resigned
for my heart and God’s
will always be aligned.

Fragile, but not hopeless,
mournful, but not blue
for nothing can shake
my faith, Lord in You.

Beaten, but not broken,
for I’m in it to win it . . .
that’s why you won’t see
me ever give up or quit!

~~~~~~~~

Two Roads, One Path ~

There are two roads,
two different destinies
one has a remedy
the other has penalties.

One leads to heaven,
the other one to hell
both determine where
in eternity we will dwell.

One takes endurance,
strength and firmness
one takes indifference
greed and worldliness.

Each one of us,
has a decision to make
we must choose the road
we are willing to take.

There are two different roads,
but only one true path
that will lead us away . . .
from knowing God’s wrath!

~~~~~~~

Matthew 7:13-14

“Enter ye in at the strait gate:
for wide is the gate, and broad
is the way, that leadeth to
destruction, and many there
be which go in thereat:

Because strait is the gate,
and narrow is the way,
which leadeth unto life,
and few there be that find it.”

Discount Religion ~

A discount religion,
is being offered today
with no talk about sin
or spiritual decay.

No need for repentance,
heaven everyone will reap
making the death of Jesus
look cut-rate and cheap.

Bargain basement prices,
tolerance is the big sell
with a shoddy guarantee
no one will end up in hell.

Eternal life to one and all,
no matter your life-path . . .
all you have to do is “love”
so not to face God’s wrath.

A discount religion,
is being offered today
and sadly it is leading
so many sheep astray!

The Wicked ~

The wicked enter through,
the gate of pride and lust
worldly riches pave the path
for it’s in “things” they do trust.

They walk with the ungodly,
party with the irreligious
depravity sleeps in their beds
their covers are sacrilegious.

The wicked live in the dark,
their lives are full of greed
they look to the immoral law
to fill their wants and needs.

They do not have a future,
they keep evilness in their sight
they’re on a road of no hope
refusing to see the light.

The wicked’s end is miserable,
for eternity they’ll spend in hell
but, they who follow God’s Word
in heaven with Him will  dwell!

~~~~~~~~~~~

Psalm 1:1-2

“Blessed is the man that walketh not
in the counsel of the ungodly,
nor standeth in the way of sinners,
 nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.

But his delight is in the law of the Lord;
and in his law doth he meditate day and night.”

Boldness ~

Lord, give me boldness,
to speak out for You
let me not be ashamed
to let Your light shine thru.

Let me be courageous,
when the Gospel I share
let my words be spoken
with respect and care.

Let me be audacious,
when I speak out about sin
let me not hold back
so souls for You, I may win.

Let me be daring,
with the words I choose
let me not be afraid
to share the Good News.

Lord, let me be forthright,
when the truth I tell . . .
so I may show the way
that leads away from hell!

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

“Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John,
and perceived that they were unlearned and ignorant men,

I Hate the Devil ~

In case you don’t know,
I really hate the devil . . .
he’s poison, he’s toxic
he’s deadly and full of evil.

He’s wicked, He’s a liar,
he’s a murderer, he’s a thief
all he brings into our lives
is torment, pain and grief.

I just can’t stand him,
he makes my stomach churn
for I know there are many
with him, in hades who’ll burn.

He’s wretched, he’s vile,
destruction is all he brings
he taunts, he tempts us
with useless worldly things.

I really hate the devil,
in case you cannot tell . . .
and I wish he was already
burning up in hell!

~~~~~~~~~

Revelation 20:10
King James Version

“And the devil that deceived them was cast into

The Reason for My Hope ~

I believe in God,
in all of His glorious creation
I believe He made the heavens
and the earth’s foundation.

I believe that man,
came from but dust
I believe it’s God’s image
He puts into all of us.

I believe that Satan,
is the cause for our fallen state
I believe it’s still his lies
he uses on us to trap and bait.

I believe that man’s heart,
has always been cold and callous
I believe it’s full of deceit
filled with ungodly malice.

I believe in Jesus,
God’s only begotten Son
I believe He died and rose again
for the sins of everyone.

I believe in redemption,
from our wicked, evil ways
I believe it’s the blood of the Lamb
that washes our sins away.

I believe in God’s love,
I believe in His grace
I believe one day
God’s judgement all will face.

I believe in Heaven,
I also believe in hell . . .
I believe for eternity it’s where
the unsaved will dwell.

I believe in the hope,
Jesus imparts in me
I believe all can be saved
if these truth they’d just see!

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

Peter 3:15

Satan’s Stumbling Blocks ~

Watch out my Christian friend . . .
for the stumbling blocks Satan lays
he’ll sneak them out in front of you
to throw you off the righteous ways.

He’ll point out all your weaknesses,
in hopes that you will buckle and cave
he’ll make you feel pathetic
so to his lies you’ll become a slave.

He’ll tell you that you’re no good,
God wants nothing to do with you
he’ll throw your sins in your face
so his sham you won’t see through.

He’ll cause you to stray off the course,
with lustful thoughts for worldly things
he’ll let you think you deserve them
so you won’t know the deceit he brings.

He’ll make you question God’s love,
whether for you He really cares
he’ll tempt you with fear and doubt
for they are two of his biggest snares.

Watch out my Christian friend . . .
don’t let Satan cause you to stumble
lest the blocks he puts in your way
will cause you into his pit ~ tumble!

~~~~~~~~~~

I Hate The Sin ~

I love the Lord,
but, I hate the sin
that keeps me from
getting closer to Him.

It’s not the sin,
that’ll be cast into hell
but, it’s where the sinner
for eternity will dwell.

I love the Lord,
and other people too
it is the sin I hate
the evil that we do.

Without His grace,
we’d stand condemned
before God throne . . .
our sins we can’t defend.

I despise my sin,
I loathe the evilness
I pray all will turn . . .
from sin’s wickedness!

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

1 Corinthians 6:9-11
King James Version

“Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God?
Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers,
nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,

Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners,
shall inherit the kingdom of God.

And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified,
but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus,
and by the Spirit of our God.”

Not Guilty!

I have walked on this earth,
for many, many years . . .
I’ve stumbled and I’ve fallen
over my doubts and my fears.

Many times I have thought,
another step I could not take
and life’s troubling journey
I just did not want to make.

I struggled with the frantic pace,
I wrestled with the anxious stride
until the day, I came to realize
I was marching to my own pride.

I knew I needed deliverance,
from the course that I was on
and that is when I felt my life
to God being forever drawn.

He set me on a new path,
and saved me from the pit
He found me not guilty
and my sins, He did acquit!

The god Of This Age ~

Be watchful of the Wicked One,
for he is the Great Deceiver
he is roaming around like a Lion
looking to devour every believer.

He is like the Dragon of Old,
still spewing out his poison mire
be careful of this godless Beast
or you’ll spend eternity in his fire.

For, he is the King of Babylon,
the King of the Bottomless Pit
where he’s making plenty of room
for the lost and unsaved to fit.

Beware of the Prince of the Air,
the Ruler of the World, the Thief
for he is the Grand Old Liar
and wants to rob you of your belief.

He is the Evil and Lawless one,
our Adversary, the Father of Lies
and it is his soul’s desire
that all shall look into his eyes.

He is the Man of Sin, our Accuser,
the Tempter and your Murderer
he is the Power of Darkness within
he is Satan, the Serpent Lucifer.

Be on the alert for the Anti Christ,
the Angel of Light, the god of this Age
he will transform himself into peace
before he sets off his bloody rage!

Ephesians 2:2

There’s No Hitchin’ A Ride ~

It’s His way or the wrong way,
there can be no other road
it’s His way or the long way
with sin’s burden as your load.

It’s the cursed and risky path,
that leads to self-destruction
it’s the safe and secure path
that leads to God’s instruction.

It’s His way or the easy way,
the decision is ours to make
it’s His way or the mistaken way
we choose the pathway to take.

It’s the wide and sinful way,
that leads to death and endless hell
it’s the narrow and righteous way
that leads to where Jesus dwells.

It’s the highway or the low way,
there’s no hitchin’ a ride
for when we perish . . .
it’ll be too late to decide!

Blessed are Those Who Mourn

Blessed are those who mourn,
those who see their lost condition
those whose heart for God are broken
who feel the sting of their affliction.

Blessed are those who are suffering,
those who see the effects of their sin
those who know of the pain of rebellion
who can feel the ache deep within.

Blessed are those who are distressed,
those who are awake to their sad state
those who are miserable and troubled
who can see the flames at hell’s gate.

Blessed are those who feel remorseful,
those who understands God’s great grief
those who have been a part of this world
who know that Jesus came to give relief.

Blessed are those who are sober-minded,
those who feel the weight of their offense
those who have been washed and forgiven
who now come to their Savior’s defense.

Blessed are those who mourn,
for they shall have eternal peace
they too will be comforted while on earth
for they know God’s love  will never cease!

Come Judgement Day ~

I’m following after Jesus,
staying on the narrow way
so that I’ll be ready . . .
come Judgment Day.

I’ll stand firm on the fact,
that Jesus died for me
so to be spared His wrath
on the day I bow my knee.

I’ll keep my faith steadfast,
my Savior’s grace I’ll profess
so to be saved from the pit
on the day His name I confess.

I’m going to live for Jesus,
be all He wants me to be
so into the flames of hell . . .
He will not sentence me!

Survivor!

I’m a survivor,
I beat the odds
no longer trapped
in Satan’s claws.

Freed from evil,
the effects of sin
ever since Jesus
in my life came in.

Released from hell,
in that awful pit
no longer stuck
in the mire and grit.

He took my sins,
carried them away
then in my heart
He came to stay.

Loosened my soul,
from the ugly stain
opened heaven’s door
unlocked the chain.

I’m a survivor,
Jesus saved me
from sin’s darkness
I am set free!

Got God?

You can ride through this life,
in an expense car . . .
but if you don’t got God
you won’t get too far.

You can make all the money,
to your heart’s desire . . .
but if you don’t got God
all you’ll earn is hell’s fire.

You can wear fancy jewelry,
buy the finest of clothes . . .
but if you don’t got God
you’ll have eternal woes.

You can live on an estate,
in an area ~ pricey and rich
but if you don’t got God
you’ll end up in hell’s ditch.

You can fly to the Islands,
or vacation in Rome . . .
but if you don’t got God
you’ll call hell your home.

You can sail the high seas,
on a fifty-foot yacht . . .
but if you don’t got God
you haven’t got naught.

You got to have God . . .
if you want what heaven brings
for He offers fine dining
with the King of Kings!

The Battle ~

Dark and light,
battle within
we fight so hard
to die to sin.

Arrows fall,
hot with fire
only God’s Word
douses the desire.

The tempter lies,
sound so sweet
without the truth
you can feel the heat.

The lion roars,
before he strikes
he’ll do anything
that he so likes.

Satan wants us,
to burn in hell
and so our souls
he’ll try to fell.

Dark and light,
battle within
but, we have Jesus
and we will win!

Gathering Up His Wheat

Oh, the empty husks of grain,
separated from the mighty stalk
are being tossed to and fro
by the winds of wayward talk.

The chaff is but a barren skin,
covered in a lifeless shell
and so it gathers on the wind
those whom it can take to hell.

The grains of doubt grow wild,
and spreads like a searing fire
testing the flames of hell
with the blaze of man’s desire.

The chaff breaks up the wheat,
by shifting the heart on the vine
stirring up dissent with its lies
and mixing water with the wine.

Don’t get caught up in the winds,
where the truth is blown away
lest you fall from His grace
and be left behind one day.

For, the winnowing fork is in His hand,
and there’ll be threshing on the floor
He’ll gather His wheat up in the air
and leave the chaff at hell’s door!

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

Matthew 3:12

“Whose fan is in is hand,
and he will throughly purge his floor,
and gather his wheat into the garner;
but he will burn up the chaff

With Fear and Trembling

Once ~ I use to fear God . . .
and trembled at His holy name
hearing about “Fire and Brimstone”
reminded me of hell’s flame.

I would shiver and I’d shake,
when I heard about His wrath
and I knew that I had better
keep to the narrow path.

I would listen to my preacher,
talk about God’s end-time plan
and how Satan was prepared
to pluck me out ~ from His hand.

But, as the years went by . . .
I no longer heard these words
and when the flame died out
I began to fall ~ backwards.

Going to church became fun,
for God’s love is a wonderful thing
my pastor dwelled on my life-purpose
and all the blessings it would bring.

With all condemnation set aside,
I could focus on what drove me
so I went out into the world
to have me a real good look-see.

Oh, what I saw . . .
lit the fires of hell right back up
and once again, I was full of fear
for I saw what was in Satan’s cup.

It is true we must love others,
but their sin we still must expose
what kind of love would we possess
if we left them to hell’s throes?

So if you are a roving seeker,
you still need to fear God’s wrath
and it would be wise for you to hurry
back onto the straight and narrow path.

The Keys to Hell . . .

The keys to hell are in His hands,
and the shaking has begun
what man has created for himself
can never be taken back or undone.

God will before too long unleash,
the seven seals upon the world
His wrath will fall from His heaven
and His terror He will unfurl.

The skies above will turn dark,
the moon will look as if blood-red
and every soul alive will be shaken
with undying fear and eternal dread.

His horsemen will march one by one,
each releasing a horror of their own
not one will come upon the earth
without the go ahead from His throne.

Oh, my friend don’t be caught up,
in what this world has to offer
lest one day your soul will end up
