    Are You Able to Drink the Cup?

    Then the mother of the sons of Zebedee came to Jesus with her sons, bowing down and making a request of Him. And He said to her, “What do you wish?” She *said to Him, “Command that in Your kingdom these two sons of mine may sit one on Your right and one on Your left.” But Jesus answered, “You do...

    Keep Yourselves From Idols

    “Dear children, keep yourselves from idols.” (1 John 5:21 NIV) What is an idol? It isn’t just a carving made out of wood or stone, made to look like some kind of god which then people bow down to and worship. An idol is anything that, or anyone who we worship, that we bow down to, and to which...

    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...

    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...

    Preferring the World

    “Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world—the desires of the flesh and the desires of the eyes and pride of life—is not from the Father but is from the world. And the world is passing away...

    Deeds Done in Secret

    Isaiah 29:15-16 ESV “Ah, you who hide deep from the Lord your counsel, whose deeds are in the dark, and who say, ‘Who sees us? Who knows us?’ You turn things upside down! Shall the potter be regarded as the clay, that the thing made should say of its maker, ‘He did not make me’; or...

    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...

    Lying Tongues

    You say one thing, But you do another. You say you’re pure, But have another lover. Your talk is cheap. And your walk is failing. You’re not sincere, So, you can stop your railing. You play your games, And your lips do conquer. You may fool some, But, I have got your number. You plead...

    Men Play Games

    Men play games, and it’s insane What they in pride do hope to gain. Full of tricks and trips and pride They now take others for a ride. Liars plenty in disguise, They’re not so very, very wise. Hide their motives, truth not tell, Manipulating men to hell. Evil workmen do not care, They are not...

    Think with Sober Judgment

    “For by the grace given to me I say to everyone among you not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think, but to think with sober judgment, each according to the measure of faith that God has assigned. For as in one body we have many members, and the members do not all have the same...

    Pride and Prejudice

    In flesh, we all are filled with pride. In flesh, the will of God denied. In flesh, we think more than we should Of whom we are and what is good. In flesh, we look at others grim When we compare them to us dim. In flesh, we fill our minds with lies When we our sinful hearts deny. In Spirit we...

    Pointless! Pointless!

    “Pointless! Pointless!” the argument says From those from Jesus their lives they’ve fled. They see no hope in their battle ‘gainst sin, Because Christ Jesus they’ve not let in. They’ve not surrendered their all to him, But they’re still controlling everything. They want their vict’ry, but they...

    Man's Infatuations

    He’s bent on destruction, No thought to his ways, Man’s infatuations Are causing delays. No mind for the future, Thinks only of self, And that’s because He has Put God on the shelf. His pride is his necklace, Thinks God does not know He’s speaking with malice, Then puts on a show. His heart...

    Donkeys Honking

    Donkeys honking in their pride, Taking others for a ride, Telltale signs of something bad, Someone somewhere has been had. Magic tricks, that is their game, Mischief making, all the same. Looking, though, to others blame, Absolute, they feel no shame. Corner others with their tricks, That is...

    Then the mother of the sons of Zebedee came up to him with her sons, and kneeling before him she asked him for something. And he said to her, “What do you want?” She said to him, “Say that these two sons of mine are to sit, one at your right hand and one at your left, in your kingdom.” Jesus...

    Hands That Shed Innocent Blood

    “There are six things that the Lord hates, seven that are an abomination to him: haughty eyes, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that devises wicked plans, feet that make haste to run to evil, a false witness who breathes out lies, and one who sows...

    It is Good to Be Near God

    “When my soul was embittered, when I was pricked in heart, I was brutish and ignorant; I was like a beast toward you. “Nevertheless, I am continually with you; you hold my right hand. You guide me with your counsel, and afterward you will receive me to glory. Whom have I in...
