Righteousness Silenced


There is a roar in those nations referred to as “advanced”.

A quaking of souls, massed together in humiliation,

Each one buzzes with desire.

Together a thunderous volume of hatred roars.

Against the Holy One they mummer.

For the love of sin they whisper their joy;

Now shouting with their unholy practice.

Do they think the din of unholy noise will not reach Heaven?

Adoring the parade of wicked desire.

Propriety is forced to hide;

That brilliant, lovely, gentle dressing of soul.

“Get away from us!  You have nothing to offer anymore.”

So they turn to perfumes to hide the stench.

They turn to guilded eyes to hide the darkness within.

Rich clothing, consuming of wages gained,

Adorning rotting bodies.

“Propriety is dead!  ‘Proper living’ is useless.

We will celebrate gain!  This we will elevate to holy worship.”

Chaos fills the desire of man.

Unholy things fill his unholy temples.

While the body rises to the strength of proud legs,

His soul slithers on the ground.

As the sharpened blade glints in the sunlight,

So his practices, unholy, glint in the Majesty of God.

As the blade sinks deep to cut off life,

So the practices of unholy men rest on their breast bone.

A tiny shove and life is over.

Let surprise show on their faces.

Let the Holy Lord of Life press truth against the handle.

Let temptation, enticing, lies, and desire,

Be pressed away from Him.

Salvation is offered.

But the One who offers is relegated,

To the shadows of a darkened alley.

Who will dare approach?

Who will brave death to embrace Life?

The Holy One’s promises are eternally true.

One is for death.

The other is for Life.

Rise from your drunken stupor!

You die the Death unrestrained.

How will you stand on that Horrible day for sinners?

What strength will your legs of flesh find,

When He rises to judge?

So be it!

Let your soul slither on the ground!

It is in proper posture already.

For every knee will bow,

Every tongue will confess,

That Jesus, the Christ of God, is King,

Lord,

Master,

Glory,

Honor,

Righteousness,

Faithfulness,

And Truth.

Amen, Amen, Amen!

Christmas Gone Wrong


“Mass”, refers to the amassing of people for an agreed purpose.  “Christ”, specifies the purpose.                 Christmas!

What can man say?  How will anyone of us testify before the Living God in regard to our celebration of what is called Christmas?

How have we honored the Living God’s Christ by the giving of joy and gifts to one another?  How have we celebrated his Royalty?  What is the year, and where is the place we amassed for His Glory alone? 

The question will be satisfied with one day’s answer.  You cannot supply one sufficient day for answer.  I shall not ask you for all your days.

But men take pride in what they have done to the Glory of God.  They celebrate snow.  They elevate fictitious characters.  They embrace lies as if they are holy.  And they consider any man blasphemous who speaks against them.  Then count me blasphemous, for I will speak against it!

The concept of fasting is more than the celebration of Lent.  Easter is not intended for glamorous attire, hide and seek, and a simple rabbit. 

Christmas, of all days people, Christmas!  This is the one day man has drug to the very pit of hell.  Every wicked attribution of man is attributed to this most Holy day!

Along with all our other unholy sins, every man will give account to the Most High God for his treatment of this day; for his treatment of His Most Holy Son.

The very word of God became flesh among us.  This by the power of God’s righteous strength.  God’s intent for compassion has become a pageantry of selfish greed. 

They celebrate without knowledge, yet they assume they know perfectly well.  Their assumption is a wall a: thousand miles thick, and 10 thousand miles high.  They are not aware of their lack, nor do they care to look into these things.

The Royalty of the Holy Lord Jesus stands established forever!  The Living God has spoken an eternal oath. 

How can man hold the Incarnate Word of God in one hand, and the lie of Santa Claus in the other?  It is not possible to worship both!  One of them rightfully demands to be God! 

How is it your right to compare what is Holy with what is a lie?  How is it possible to be the owner of life and death at the same time?  By doing this you ascribe death to the Holy One of God.

For lack of vision the people perish.  Their vision is cut short by greedy lies.  What glories they forsake, for the sake of shiny trinkets!

The Way HOME


Open, wanton, sick and twisted;

Is the box of flesh your soul resides in.

Closed, Holy, Life and straight;

Is the path of life we’re given from Him.

Say you are able to find the way Home,

And your tongue will make you a liar.

The only way Home to a wayward soul,

Is consumed by The Holy Fire.

How can the flesh endure His great thrashing?

What strength does it have to remain?

The soul either emulates all that is passing,

Or submits itself to be tamed.

The loan


A man came up with a magnificent idea to make himself a fortune.  The potential of his idea was $500 million in 3 years.  What he planned to do was a sure thing.  There was no such item on the market.  All he needed was 1 million dollars to get started.

His credit was good.  And he had plenty of collateral.  So he gathered his papers and headed to the bank.

The banker ushered him into his office.  It was a plush office but was in need of some janitorial services.

The man presented his request to the banker and showed him the papers.  To his pleasure, the banker smiled and seemed very interested.  After about 20 minutes of study the banker looked up and gave him a broad smile.

“I need to go and take care of something but I’ll be right back.”  Said the banker.  “In the meantime, could you do me a favor and dust my office.I feel bad asking such a man as yourself to do such meanial work.  But as you can tell there is no one here to do these things for me.  I would greatly appreciate your help.  And what I must go do will take about 15 minutes.”  With that, the banker simply left his office.

The man had smiled and said yes, just before the banker left.  He thought to himself that such and gracious work would surely secure the loan.  So he grabbed the duster and went about a quick business.

The banker came back in and took a very short look around before he sat down.  “How is your wife and children?”  The banker asked.  “I would like to come in see them if I can.”

The man was taken back by the request.  But he replied it would be good to have dinner together.  So without making a judgement on the loan the banker shook his hand and they set a time.

At the appropriate time the banker showed up for the dinner.  He took note of how the yard was kept.  He noticed the disrepair of the house.  And when invited in he took very careful note of the state of the interior.

After a pleasant dinner and a chat with some rather rebellious children, the banker thanked the family for the meal, set a date and time to meet again regarding the loan, and when his way.

The man was perfectly pleased thinking he had done the very best possible that he could.  He told his wife and children they would soon be rich.  And they all went joyously to sleep.

At the time of meeting,  the banker handed the man a folder.  The first page shook the man’s nerves to the bone.  The loan was stamped “DENIED”.

Visibly shaken, the man asked the banker why.  “I have done everything you’ve asked!  I cleaned your office for you!  I even invited you to my home and gave you a wonderful meal!  But you have denied me and I need to know why.”

The banker held up his hand and calmed the man down.

“Let me reason with you for a moment.  Look around you.  Do you see the streaks of dust you missed?  When I came to your house your yard was quite unkept.  Your house is in dire need of repair.

The meal itself was good and I thank you for it.  Your wife is a generous and good cook.  But your children are unruly.  And you make no attempt to control them.

I am about to loan you a million dollars plus interest.  Don’t you think I have a right to know the caliber of a man before I give him such a large amount?”

The man had nothing to say.  After exchanging pleasantries and a handshake he simply left with half a tear in his eye.  On the way home he had plenty of time to ponder how he would break this news to his family.

——————-

If a man is not in control of his own wealth, who will give him more?  If he is not diligent with the wealth of others, who will grant him a wealth of his own?

The body is our gift from God.  This is a wealth granted to us to display our intent for eternity.  If we do not use it for holy purposes, how can we expect God to grant us wonderous things?

As a man dies so is he sealed.  The greedy and the unholy cannot expect a warm welcome. 

Let us encourage one another to do far more and better.  We do not approach a banker for a mere million dollars.  We ask for royalty for eternity.  And God does not come over for dinner.  He clearly sees the disrepair of our life without invitation.

The great chasm


Unholy is he who desires to please man.  Unholy is she who dresses to entice.  The way of the Lord is narrow; only what is holy can walk in it.

Do not the fool by the prosperity of the wicked.  By decree they are allowed to walk close to the path.  Even if they stretch their feet to be near the path, they are by no means on it.

What is holy is life.  What is unholy is death.  What man can divide between the two?  Such wisdom comes from God alone.

Man will say he loves.  But his life is apparent by his appearance; desire for this world and a love of self dresses them. 

The love of God is full of wisdom, discernment, holiness, justice, righteousness, mercy, propriety and continuity.  The division between what is holy and what is unholy is eternally fixed.  It is divided by an endlessly deep chasm.

If some man would walk the narrow way, he must receive from God.  It cannot be that a man should read and do.  The good things he may read are not from man.  They are delivered by He alone who has life to give.

Play day, everyday


I don’t want to see a show of hands.  I’m not interested in a 2000 page spreadsheet.  I don’t want to talk to a statistician.  And I don’t particularly have a craving to see someone respond to this post.  But I wonder how many people realize they’re being played.

From the time you were born until the time you die, somebody or something is playing you.  You got needs, and your basic necessities are often played against you.  You got wants, and there is a variety of enemies arrayed against your desire.

Now it’s pretty easy to go through and make a real thick book describing all of those things.  But you already know about how the world plays you.  You’re even aware of how you play yourself.  At least you should be.

But not many people are aware of a certain group that plays people 24 /7.  They’re a forgotten clan.  Virtually the only time they were even mentioned is in some Hollywood horror movie.  So when I call them what we know them to be I’m going to get laughed at.  I don’t particularly care.  I’m not gonna let ignorance play me.

I’m not here to spook people.  I’m trying to draw attention to a fact.  You can’t see them, hear, taste, smell or touch em.  But I can tell you demons are a big part of the corruption in this world.

I don’t care what they look like.  And I’m not here to call em out so we can have a squabble.  I’m just bringing up an age old truth.

If you don’t believe in them, then you don’t believe in the gospel of Christ Jesus.  So this whole article won’t do you any good anyway.

They were pretty healthy when Jesus was here with us.  So let me ask you a simple question.  If they’re not still here where’d they go?    You think they went to some distant planet for a vacation for a few thousand years?   You are more Looney than me if you believe that.

They whisper to you, and you think you just had a thought.  They watch for opportunity to destroy you.  They don’t spit vomit.  And they don’t make your eyes bug out.  They simply enhance your own wicked desire a thousand fold.  Whatever chance you had to be a righteous person is thrown right out the window.

If you don’t have Jesus as your Lord, a rock-solid prayer life, and habits that reflect holiness, you’ll have no way to defend against them.  They’ll tear you down like a tornado and there won’t be any rising.

If this is the first time you’ve heard any of this you’re probably……..  Dunno.  I have no idea what your response might be.  But I can assure you with absolute certainty, you’ve been played by demons.  And if you scoff at this you’re likely being played right now.

If you believe what I’m saying, this is likely to get you angry.  If you don’t believe, what’s that to me?  You won’t be able to tell the difference between a normal day or a played day anyway. 

But if realizing this makes you a little hot headed, don’t waste your time on a rant.  Simply turn your attention to the Lord Jesus Christ.  He’s been watching the whole scene all along.  He’s more than able to set you free from being played by demons.
