    Mind Games

    You use and abuse, And you tell tall tales. You promise to change, But to no avail. When you’re asked to change, Then you raise your claws. You rage and refuse To give truth applause. Then, you seem to know Of what you did wrong. You cry and confess, Promise change, now on. You seem that you...

    Is Darkness Your Old Friend?

    “And this is the judgment: the light has come into the world, and people loved the darkness rather than the light because their works were evil. For everyone who does wicked things hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his works should be exposed. But whoever does what is true...

    Love or Lust?

    Love or lust? Do you know? What’s your answer? Does it show? Who gets hurt? Do you care? Others’ feelings you aware? Selfish fling? It’s your thing? Nowhere honest. You’re the king? Private chats behind backs. Keep things hidden. No one cracks? Selfish gain is your chain. Self’s your idol all...

    They are Thrilled!

    Tardy, tardy, not on time Lazy, lazy, it’s a crime Truthful, truthful, rein them in Teach them: “Don’t give in to sin” All their idols in a row They put on a fancy show Crowds are coming, lusts fulfilled Cheap grace gospel – they are thrilled Fancy parties, dinner dates But for Jesus, they are...

    Living Water

    My people have forsaken Me, Their Savior, who died on a tree; Made idols, and they worshipped them; So empty, they will ne’er fulfill. Lord, You are the hope of Your chosen ones. Those who turn away from You will be shamed; The Spring of Living Water left behind. Living Water satisfies. The...

    Bring Out the People Who..

    “Bring out the people who are blind, yet have eyes, who are deaf, yet have ears! All the nations gather together, and the peoples assemble. Who among them can declare this, and show us the former things? Let them bring their witnesses to prove them right, and let them hear and...

    Without Excuse

    Based off Romans 1 NIV God, our creator, Has made himself plain, Through all his creation, He revealed His plan. All of His virtues Were made clear to all. Mankind, without excuse, Now choosing to fall. Godless and wicked Face God’s holy wrath. Not lacking in knowledge, They deny the truth...

    Other Lords Have Ruled

    “The path of the righteous is level; you make level the way of the righteous. In the path of your judgments, O Lord, we wait for you; your name and remembrance are the desire of our soul. My soul yearns for you in the night; my spirit within me earnestly seeks you. For when your...

    Why Do You Hate?

    Why do you hate her so much? Why must sin now be your crutch? Why do you go on from day after day Lying and cheating and floundering away? Why must you lie through your teeth? Why must you live low, beneath? Why do you keep on in your masquerades? Why must you live as though life is charades...

    Pitter Patter

    Pitter patter what’s the matter? Life is full of empty chatter. Wishful thinking lights are blinking While men’s lives are deeply sinking. Throes of idols all asunder While men’s anger sounds like thunder. World a turning, fires burning, While men’s hearts are barely churning. Much confusion...

    This is the Way, Walk in It

    Isaiah 30:21-22 ESV “And your ears shall hear a word behind you, saying, ‘This is the way, walk in it,’ when you turn to the right or when you turn to the left. Then you will defile your carved idols overlaid with silver and your gold-plated metal images. You will scatter them as unclean...

    Always Wandering

    Always learning, never able To come to the truth. Always wand’ring, never stable, ‘Cause you’re so uncouth. Ever reaching for the fable, Truth you do not tell. Heaven’s gates to you not open. You’ll go straight to hell. Daily doing sins you’re brewing. You not blink an eye. Pride your...

    Olympics Closing Ceremony: 2 Weeks Later

    Hello folks. We know how well my opening ceremony thread went (it crashed and burned). I actually enjoyed the Olympics, and was cheering for Simone Biles as well as whole host of other athletes (though, I thankfully never watched the Opening or Closing ceremonies). Now, there are three days...

    The Grim Reaper

    Dancing, dancing in the wind, Flickering, flickering, idols grim. Movies, movies, what’s in store? The grim reaper at your door. Trickery, trickery, that’s their way, So in hopes that you they’d sway. Horrid, horrid, all aghast! Messages, messages, out they blast! Pointless, pointless, all’s a...

    Setting the Right Example

    “You know what kind of men we proved to be among you for your sake. And you became imitators of us and of the Lord, for you received the word in much affliction, with the joy of the Holy Spirit, so that you became an example to all the believers in Macedonia and in Achaia. For not only has the...

    Idols and God Don't Mix

    “Therefore, my beloved, flee from idolatry. I speak as to sensible people; judge for yourselves what I say. The cup of blessing that we bless, is it not a participation in the blood of Christ? The bread that we break, is it not a participation in the body of Christ? Because there is one bread...

    Engraved on the Tablet of Their Heart

    “The sin of Judah is written with a pen of iron; with a point of diamond it is engraved on the tablet of their heart, and on the horns of their altars, while their children remember their altars and their Asherim, beside every green tree and on the high hills, on the mountains in the open...

    Living Water

    “On the last day of the feast, the great day, Jesus stood up and cried out, ‘If anyone thirsts, let him come to me and drink.
