How can you do Santa Claus And Jesus Christ in time? How can you raise Santa Claus And minimize Christ’s life? How can you raise up a man Who is not who he say While you picture Jesus Christ A babe in manger lay? Santa (Satan) is not God, He mimics him instead. Takes on all his attributes...

Christmas’s right around the corner, Comes from idol worship former, Instills idol worship further, Yet from many, not a murmur. Celebrates the idols plenty, Santa Claus and greed and money, Entertainment, fill your stomachs, Play your games, that is a sum up. Downplays Jesus in a manger...

1 Corinthians 10:6-7 ESV “Now these things took place as examples for us, that we might not desire evil as they did. Do not be idolaters as some of them were; as it is written, ‘The people sat down to eat and drink and rose up to play’.” I found this definition of idolatry online: “A...

"An Angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said: Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary as your wife; for what is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit; for she will bear a son, and you will call his name Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins!" - Matt...

It’s only October But I can’t get over How much now ‘bout Christmas, While Christ they do dismiss. For Christ’s not in Christmas. It isn’t His business. He’s not about Santa And that propaganda. He’s not about presents, On humans dependent To make life now matter, But with empty chatter...

An Original Work / December 12, 2018 As scriptures teach, I don’t believe There is a pre-trib rapture. From what I read, I do perceive That we’ll go all together. For Jesus said we would be there To see the tribulation. And some of us they’ll put to death, But we have our salvation. But don’t...
