I rise in the morning to a long steamy shower. I have brushed and shaved and dressed for an hour. Now I scurry to work, the ladder to climb. Don't bother me now, Lord, I don't have the time. My afternoon's full, appointments to keep. Staying late in the night the fruits to reap. Getting...

In Luke 15 says Jesus tells a parable. He then goes on to tell 3 stories. Are all 3 stories part of the same parable? And what is being taught?

Once a country given to praying. Now one lost and quickly decaying. America, why didn't you remain true? Now look at what is happening to you. You have a saying on your money: "In God We Trust "---now that's funny. You trust not God, but the exchange, And to you God's ways have become...

I saw you in church and I shook your hand. I told you how eternity is going to be grand. I never saw the heartache that your eyes pleaded: Won't you just love me in the way that is needed? I saw you broken down on the side of the road. I gave you a ride as your car was towed. Of your financial...

Bad men put Jesus on the cross Some two thousand years ago. They beat Him most severely And His blood began to flow. Then put on Him a crown of thorns And slapped and spat about his face. He suffered great indignities As they put Him in His place. Next they led Him to Golgatha Where...

God is all present, He's everywhere I go, Should I ascend up to heaven or descend far below. If I stay where I am or depart from thence, He's wherever I am...that's Godly presence. God is all-knowing, who's council does He need? Who's advice did He seek when He first decreed? Unlike unto men...

The Flower The seed that fell to deathly gloom Now stirs within its earthen tomb For seasons change and time does yield And, lo, the tomb becomes a field Alas, the bud and petal show As one expecting in her glow Bright and vibrant in its hue Basking in the morning dew So let the...

I've cheated and I've lied I've cursed Your holy name I've made folly of Your sabbath I've passed on all the blame I've falsely accused others I've taken what's not mine I've put others gods before You All since grafted into Your vine I am ever plagued by sin It shadows all I do It waits...
