    '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...

    Heavy Burdens

    A story of Depression Heavy burdens hard to bear Many idols not to wear Many lives are in despair Feel life treats them so unfair Not the way they hoped life be Happy, and from troubles free Slipped a mickey in their drink And from there their lives did sink Walked away from what was true...

    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...

    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...
