Ugly

Ugly has nothing to do with a skin.

A worm’s appeal’s slim, but not to him.

If we looked much closer to what lay within,

We would see that ugly is based on sin.

————

All men think they will cause great peace.

By virtue of law they fashion release.

But laws never tame the inward beast.

They end up prescriptions, subjecting the least.

————

With counsel and money we purchase an island.

While ownership’s granted to those of the badland.

The rest simply claw at their best with their hands,

To protect their small slice of their “beautiful” brand.

————

What is needed is rule from an unchanging source.

Not likely an out come from a people so coarse.

All day we build fences, divide, and much worse.

While wearing our best as we ride our proud horse.

————

Rest assured nothing‘s done in the blackness of night.

There is One who sees as if in a stark light.

Grace is extended toward this world’s plight.

While man debates what is wrong or what’s right.

————

There is a day, set in stone, just ahead,

Where God will judge the living and dead.

And after the speaking of what must be said,

Destruction will fall on sin’s ugly head.

————

Far better to learn what is right; what’s true.

Then to have the Lord summon His Law against you.

We’re welcome to keep truth quite strongly askew.

But a price has been paid to blind ugly’s view.

————

A darkness will fall and all guilt will remain.

A fire consumes all that’s sin and not tame.

Your beautiful division, full of pointing and blame,

Will eat at your heart with an endless great shame.

The Greatest Debate of All History

The Liberal International, a global federation...

The Liberal International, a global federation of liberal political parties and institutions, was founded in 1947. It represents one attempt in a long tradition of liberals trying to establish cross-cultural and transnational connections through global organizations. (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

How I wish we could be at a debate between Abraham, Enoch, Moses, and Elijah, and the heads of the liberal movements today.  Let them present their liberal agendas and arguments to such men.  I’d love to hear what those men would have to say.

And let’s keep in mind: Those four men are only men.  There is a God who gave them life, and to whom they lived in earnest, to answer to also.

Regaining Prayer

I sit alone and feel the prod; a call to go to prayer

By force my legs regain their place and transport me to there.

Then kneeling, bowed, position gained, invisible comes clear.

And as I speak, though neither moves, yet one of us draws near.

What happens in this tense-peace time Is more than can be told.

His love, though overwhelming, there’s shaking in my soul.

I miss the times I cried so deep; that sobbing unrestrained.

His presence softly tells me, my heart’s not yet unchained.

The time between a foolish step to where I want to be,

Is like a climb from down below to far above the sea.

That dim soft light which capped the Mount, and to which I draw near,

Is brighter, brighter, brighter yet as my steps I repair.

The promise is, “You’ll gain that ground you sweetly long for now.”

And tagged to that is His command to set my hand to plow.

And so the dance of yesterday is danced yet once again.

I’ve been there once, some other day, I’m sure I can attain.

He’s just so lovely, kind, and wise. The draw cannot be stopped.

So to that light my feet will walk until that Mount is topped.

Canditate Obama said, “Science will save us.”

The problems with society we find today are the result of education.  Though we are technologically advanced and trained from birth to encounter this technology, we are not educating ourselves in the things which promote a healthy society.  We learn about how to satisfy the desires of the body.  But we pay little attention to the things of the soul.

If a man was able to learn all there is to know on earth he would still be vulnerable to abhorrent behavior.  And, as I have observed, the more a man knows the more sinister his “secret” behavior becomes.  If it isn’t sexual sins, it is pride in his knowledge.  Education regarding the things of man are only useful if they enable the student to study the things of God.

The education we lack as a society, as a whole, is the education that comes directly from God.  There is a natural aversion to this teaching inside every person.  But as we begin from the moment of birth to teach God knowledge we advert possible rebellion against God’s laws later in life.  And a godly society is far less likely to encounter the onslaught of wicked behavior we are witnessing today.

Millions would scoff at what I’ve just written.  But ask yourself something:  Is society today a better and safer place because of the “advances” of man?  Or is it just easier to get what you want to have.

What can we do to turn this society of godless behavior around?  Nothing.  You take care of yourself and those you can reach.  But we’ve made a society of anonymity.  And when a wicked man lives his life without accountability surrounding him, he will increase in his wickedness.  In short, he will specialize in that particular wickedness he finds most attractive.  And regardless how he tries not to, he will teach his wickedness to others.  Soon we have the majority following godless behavior more than righteous and accountable behavior.  And if you think it is bad today, look down the road a few years.

Because of these things we say again, “The end is nearing faster than you might expect.”  Chaos is just a few blocks away from your front door.  All it takes to ignite this blazing violence is a little more hardship upon those who are already willing to do violence.  Once it starts freedom is taken away.  And in its place comes the heavy hand of a godless government.

Education is the key.  But we replaced our key ring with plastic baby keys.

Where? Not Here.

Who is the confident man?

Who is the one who spits at death without knowledge?

And where is he to be found when it comes to visit?

Where are those lively lips which cursed at the Judgement?

That prattling tongue lays still.

Gestureless hands decay from lack of soul.

The coffin is nothing more than a waste basket.

And his words have long since faded.

Be wise and hold your words, you man of violent intent.

For the One who will next entertain you will be no entertainment at all.

Come Taste That The Lord is Good

Let Jesus Bring You Light!

Hope is a substance our hands have never felt.  All our senses yearn to embrace it, yet it resides too deep to touch.  The atheist will laugh.  But doesn’t he hope we will vanish?

Hope will not disappoint those who hope in Jesus.  His love is not like that of the world.  And even His people struggle to grasp this truth.  How much less do those who remain in hatred to Him fail to understand.  Still we who know Him desire all men to find this Hope.

Yes, we fight with words against the onslaught of despair which comes from those of “the other’s” clan.  But do not consider our words a condemnation please.  We know what it was like to be in the darkness you now inhabit.  If we are confused at your appearing it is because we can’t remember what woke us.  Was it yelling?  Was it infirmity?  Was it simply the message of a God who is willing to embrace the worst of all men?  So we try all means.

Come taste that the Lord’s Love is greater than all rebellion.  The door is open to all who will enter, regardless your state of affairs.  You don’t come to us, the Christians who speak loud enough for you to hear.  You come to the One who brought us into the Hope we possess.  Welcome awaits you.  And we patiently continue to hammer at your door of rebellious hatred for the One who is absolute love and life.

By His Grace.
