    What's Your Thinking?

    Teaming, steaming, idols gleaming, Whirlwind, whirlwind, what’s your thinking? Soap box! Soap box! All are actors. Truthing, lying are the factors. Myst’ry! Myst’ry! All is a ruse. True objective is to confuse. Pageant! Pageant! All are on stage, Hoping we’ll turn the foll’wing page. Captive...

    Easter McFeaster

    Your treasure your pleasures, Indulgent enjoyment, You follow whoever, And praise the flamboyant. The colors and baskets, The eggs all a plenty, The project, you task it, The purpose is empty. The bunnies with ribbons, The trinkets on tables, By greed you’ve been bitten, You then tell your...

    What's the Stink?

    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 for show? News and Rag Mags much the same...

    Letters to the Seven Churches, Pergamum

    “And to the angel of the church in Pergamum write: ‘The words of him who has the sharp two-edged sword. “‘I know where you dwell, where Satan's throne is. Yet you hold fast my name, and you did not deny my faith even in the days of Antipas my faithful witness, who was killed among you, where...

    The Senses

    What’s that you hear? Whispers in the darkness, Rumors flying everywhere, Truth not to be found. What’s your response? Listen with attention? Engaging yourself in it? Or, do you walk away? What’s that you see? Sexual innuendos So loaded with perversion, Purity not found. Do you give answer...

    Are You Engaged in Idolatry?

    “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’.” (1 Corinthians 10:6-7 ESV) I found this definition of idolatry online: “A...

    Where is Jesus in Your Celebrations?

    Is He there, or barely mentioned? Does He fit with all the tension? Is He in the ribbons, wrappings? Is He in the culture’s trappings? Is He in the food and parties? Overeating, faith departing? Is He in the twisted humor? Is He in the stories rumored? Is He in the decorations? Is He in the...

    Bring Them Home

    “Since therefore Christ suffered in the flesh, arm yourselves with the same way of thinking, for whoever has suffered in the flesh has ceased from sin, so as to live for the rest of the time in the flesh no longer for human passions but for the will of God. For the time that is past suffices for...

    'Tis The Season

    ‘Tis the season to be jolly, Light the trees, and hang the holly, Join in all the merrymaking, And in all the cookie baking. Light your candles on your altars, Don’t misstep, now don’t you falter, Cross your T’s and dot your I’s, Prepare yourself for the surprise. Join in the bands, and raise...

    Life Before Santa

    ‘Twas the life before Santa, And all through the church, They were praising their Lord, And His righteousness searched. The bells that were ringing Were calling for prayer. They were calling on God To His righteousness wear. Confessing their sins, Thus, they humbly did bow. Forsaking their...

    Filibuster

    Filibuster of the luster Putting off what he can’t muster Stalling tactics light his candle Honesty he cannot handle Twiddling thumbs is now his mission While he’s lacking any vision He’s wasting time, which makes no sense While waiting for his recompense So, looking back, he sees no harm In...

    That Time of Year

    So Christmas is that time of year When folks give others words of cheer Folks seem in a holiday mood With lots of drinks and lots of food They hustle bustle to and fro And some put on a great big show They buy their trees, and tinsel, too And many friendships they renew They get their cards...

    Christmas and Idol Worship

    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...

    A Christmas Poem

    You say that Christmas is about Jesus, The One who died on the cross to free us. You say that His birth you must celebrate – It must be celebrated on this date. But who foretold of this, it would come true? Who said that Jesus’ birth we must renew? Who said that Christmas is the day to be...

    Flittering

    Flittering here, flittering there, Idols and idols are everywhere. No sound of mind there to be found, Wandering, wandering all around. No light of day, lives in dismay, He’s going nowhere from day to day. Listening not, he’s to be bought, Slipping and sliding without a thought. No sense to...
