An Original Work / March 11, 2020
In this crazy world of ours,
With emotions flying high,
With fear mongers at their worst
Blowing everything sky high,
Can we trust in what they say?
Do their words even make sense?
Is it logical to say
That a few is an event?
An agenda, do they have?
Is it...
I live in the United States of America, which is a wealthy nation, an affluent nation in many respects. It isn’t that everyone here is wealthy, but perhaps by third world standards we all are. We have many freedoms and privileges that people in other nations do not have. We are pretty much free...

It’s sad, you know,
Watching someone you love
Wandering so,
Seeming to go nowhere.
Each day’s no
Different from the other.
It’s the same old, same old
Day after day after day.
No purpose or direction
Seems to be found.
Just existing,
Putting in their time...
Writing #4 in the series:
I had just gone through revival in 2002. That is when the Lord Jesus spoke to my heart, and he told me that I had not forgiven him. It is then that I realized that, down deep in my heart, I had blamed him or I had held it against him in some way that he did not rescue...
Note: This is a continuation of a series I am doing as a public testimony of what God has allowed in my life to take place throughout my life, all of which was in preparation for the ministry to which he has now called me. This is #3 in the series.
Again therefore Jesus spoke to them, saying...
Note: This is the second writing in a series of personal testimonies regarding trials and tribulations the Lord Jesus took me through in preparation for the ministry to which he has called me. The first one is called, “Slam-Dunked Again.”

“Love must be sincere. Hate what is evil; cling to...
Have you ever felt like you were drowning? And, that every time you came up for air there was someone there just waiting to push you back under? There was always someone waiting in the wings ready and willing to slam-dunk you if you tried to survive and to thrive?
Perhaps you weren’t drowning...
We live in an age of great deception. So much of what we hear from the pulpit (podium) in churches, from the news media, and from our government leaders cannot be trusted. We can’t trust much of what we read on the internet, either, or on social media sites, or even on Christian-based discussion...
An Original Work / September 24, 2019
Hear the whispers.
Makes you think.
Mind now wonders,
“What’s the stink?”
Is it factual?
Makes you doubt.
Hear what’s hidden
In the clout.
Preys on people
Who’re naïve.
Love they to make
Many scenes.
Who has done it?
Do they know?
Or, is all this
Just...
Psalm 119:81-87 ESV
My soul longs for your salvation;
I hope in your word.
My eyes long for your promise;
I ask, “When will you comfort me?”
For I have become like a wineskin in the smoke,
yet I have not forgotten your statutes.
How long must your servant endure?
When will you...
Colossians 2:1-5 ESV
For I want you to know how great a struggle I have for you and for those at Laodicea and for all who have not seen me face to face, that their hearts may be encouraged, being knit together in love, to reach all the riches of full assurance of understanding and the knowledge...
1 Thessalonians 5:1-3 ESV
Now concerning the times and the seasons, brothers, you have no need to have anything written to you. For you yourselves are fully aware that the day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night. While people are saying, “There is peace and security,” then sudden...
Psalm 56:1-7 ESV
Be gracious to me, O God, for man tramples on me;
all day long an attacker oppresses me;
my enemies trample on me all day long,
for many attack me proudly.
When I am afraid,
I put my trust in you.
In God, whose word I praise,
in God I trust; I shall not be...
Acts 20:21-24 NIV:
“I have declared to both Jews and Greeks that they must turn to God in repentance and have faith in our Lord Jesus. And now, compelled by the Spirit, I am going to Jerusalem, not knowing what will happen to me there. I only know that in every city the Holy Spirit warns me...
Romans 12:9-13 ESV
Let love be genuine. Abhor what is evil; hold fast to what is good. Love one another with brotherly affection. Outdo one another in showing honor. Do not be slothful in zeal, be fervent in spirit, serve the Lord. Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in...
Romans 15:30-33 ESV
I appeal to you, brothers, by our Lord Jesus Christ and by the love of the Spirit, to strive together with me in your prayers to God on my behalf, that I may be delivered from the unbelievers in Judea, and that my service for Jerusalem may be acceptable to the saints, so...
Introduction
I am reading in Zephaniah, chapter three, for my time with the Lord today. This is speaking of Jerusalem, which today is the church, the bride of Christ.
Yet, the true church is the people who have trusted in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior of their lives. It is not a building...
Romans 1:28-32 ESV
And since they did not see fit to acknowledge God, God gave them up to a debased mind to do what ought not to be done. They were filled with all manner of unrighteousness, evil, covetousness, malice. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, maliciousness. They are...
Matthew 20:17-19 ESV
And as Jesus was going up to Jerusalem, he took the twelve disciples aside, and on the way he said to them, “See, we are going up to Jerusalem. And the Son of Man will be delivered over to the chief priests and scribes, and they will condemn him to death and deliver him...
Isaiah 53:1-3, 9-11 ESV
Who has believed what he has heard from us?
And to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?
For he grew up before him like a young plant,
and like a root out of dry ground;
he had no form or majesty that we should look at him,
and no beauty that we should...
