Cute little poems.
Yes I wrote some.
Mind breaking parables.
Well I tried to write a couple.
Scriptural revelations.
I had a few and wrote about them.
Soul altering visions.
I think I’ve had three, and passed them on.
Gigantic literary works.
None here.
Daily devotionals that will knock your socks off.
Nowhere in sight.
If you came here for inspiration, you may be disappointed. Perhaps you should do what I did, read the Bible and pray.

To glorify Christ! That is the object of Christianity among men.
It’s not so we can dress up pretty once a week!
It’s not so we can carry around the biggest baddest Bible anybody’s ever seen!
It’s not so we can say some gibberish prayer at dinner.
It’s not so that we can look down our nose at every human being!
Its not a get rich quick scheme!
It’s not some warm fuzzy!
It’s not a religion!
It’s not just a clean conscience so we can keep on sinning!
And it’s not an insurance policy that will allow us to float around on a cloud for eternity while we strum a golden harp!
We are saved in Christ to die for Christ. We are saved in Christ it we might be transformed to be like him; holy and acceptable to He who sits on the Holy Throne forever.
To say no to self and to say yes to Christ! That’s what Christianity is! That’s what we are saved to do! If you ain’t doing that you got the wrong religion!

A man was very thirsty when he came upon a small pond. There was an old man sitting by the side of the pond sipping a glass of water.
The man knew the water was safe, for the old man was in fine shape. So he bent down to take a handful of water to his mouth.
“I wouldn’t drink that if I were you.” The old man said. Startled, the man threw the water back into the pond. He looked at the old man with squinty eyes.
“Where’d you get the water you’re drinking?” The man’s voice had a twinge of greed. The old man just peered up under the brim of his hat. “I got it from the pond.” Was the slow and level response.
“Do you own this pond?” The man asked. “Nope. I got directions here.” Now the thirsty man was a bit perplexed. “This ain’t your pond. But you can sit there and drink the water while I dehydrate to death? This is crazy!”
“Son, there is a pond for strangers at the bottom of the hill. You can drink till you explode down there. The water here is poisoned.” The man gave the old man a sidewards glance. “If its poisoned, how come you ain’t dead?”
The old man stretched a bit, like he was remembering a fond moment. “I got a bag of healing powder from the guy who owns this place. That’s why I can drink this here water. But you better not son.”
The thirsty man would have stood there to argue, but he was far too thirsty. So he gave a dry spit toward the old man and started down the hill.
He heard the old man mutter, “Pride. . . You’ll be back boy. Somebody thirsty as you is bound to meet the owner of this place.” Not understanding what he meant, the thirsty man just kept going.

How very foolish we are to conveniently forget that we will die. And how very foolish we are to love what we call freedom, so much that we will resist, even unto death, the commands that can give us life. Truly, is this freedom?
We will all find our last moment of waking. We will all take our last step. We will all take our last moment of careless repose. And then we will come face to face with a reality that we have pushed off on purpose.
What comes next? Do you know? Have you even taken the time to look into these things?
When your car develops signs that it is about nickel and dime you to death, you quickly traded in. And you watch carefully for those signs.
You look forward to retirement, and you diligently keep working so that you can have your last years in peace. And oh how many compromises you make willingly so that you can have what you want. But does what you want include what comes after death?
The foolish man keeps on as if he will never die. The foolish man never looks into these things. Yet the foolish man will receive his rightful reward.
Live your life with abandon, and you will find yourself abandoned for eternity.
The Bible will tell you everything you need to know. But how many even have the curiosity?

Jesus will forgive your sins. How would it feel to have a clean conscience for a change? Will others understand? No, but you will.
He will teach you to listen. If you let him, he will teach you how to obey his Heavenly Father. Even if you are full of rebellion and are difficult to teach, he will provoke you to obedience. If only you will continue to call on him.
He will teach you of the eternal way. What men say is good, changes from hour to hour. He will teach you what lasts forever.
One thing at a time, you will overcome difficulties in your life that you did not even know you had. Then as the appearance of maturity arrives, you and He will do a significant work to obliterate rebellion.
In the process of becoming a man of God you will develop peace. With a clean conscience, and proof in your soul that God has accepted you, you will find you have no fear. And the longer you walk with Him as your Lord, the deeper that peace will penetrate.
You will find yourself teaching others. Not because someone told you you have to go out and evangelize, but because you simply can’t keep your mouth shut. And you will not only tell them the words, but you will act them out in the their presence.
In time you will come to know you have eternal life. You will not just believe the words that you were told, you will know, with clarity, those words are true, and that they belong to you.
Because he is always reliable, you will find yourself looking to him for every possible solution to every possible problem. It won’t be a matter of discipline to go to prayer. You will find you never leave it.
What does jesus do? He will create such a change in you, that you will not be any resemblance to what you were. And if you continue in the way, all this will happen to you while you were here. Yes he can prepare you to be a citizen of heaven here.
