BENEFITS
What’s in it for me? Who’s in control? Who’s got the power? Is there a mole? Who plays both sides? Can a candle burn both ends? Which double agent secures all she defends? From what vantage point does the all seeing eye roam ’round the earth so wide, so high? And how did the mote that might in that...

OF WHOM YOU'VE HEARD
Sight went first and like a blind fool I followed my vision, lagging behind the seers, who ascended the holy hill with faith and saintly precision. When, at last, like spent gold, sight left me worthless, aware of my dearth, sensing my spiritual need, I made a revision to my will, post-dating my...

To Jesus
Calling out your name, I hear your soft reply. I know you’re still the same, as the day you chose to die upon that rugged cross so agonized and pained; what many counted loss, was everything you gained: salvation for each soul who reaches out in faith, the part rejoins the whole, for all who...

Some Reasons for Faith
Small as a star balancing light; green as nature’s first fresh hue; pure as salvation, holy, right; bright as skies of bold baby blue; wild in the night; innocent, pure; blinded by sight; healed by the cure; these are the reasons my faith stands; iron stakes driven pierced his hands; bloody thorns...

Life in the Word
Feeling the pain of a sensitive soul, I inclined my heart to bear his burdens. I found I could read his sufferings well, and prayed God would send peace from his heavens. Long were the dark nights, tense and filled with strife, that we passed together, waiting for peace. But sadly my friend, who...

Enduring Endtimes through the Living Word
Though all the states of this sad world may fall, and leaders blind the masses to the truth; though arts and science fail to heed their call, and stars fall from the sky in days uncouth; though lovers lie and fail to keep their vows, and children turn against their parents, dear; though judges turn...

Satan’s Moans over a Saint’s Salvation
Mad grows my thought of you in absence, now that your play with my heart is at its end. My mind must try once more its might to bend away from Reason’s sophomoric vow, though seas unruly sweep her solemn prow toward my soul’s wild passion to extend thought of those sweet moments I may yet spend...

How Can We Know God?
Knowledge, Pride, and Faith Absolute knowledge engenders false pride: But can nothing be definitively known? Faith in Jesus shown by his only bride is needed for seeds of life to be sown: Each one who confesses Christ was made flesh, was born of God’s Spirit, was crucified, was resurrected, and rose...

Securing Victory Through Christ
Subtle is the enemy of our human souls: he may often appear as an angel of light. He distorts the truth, and he wants to thwart our goals. Spiritual weapons used in our Christian fight include the helmet of salvation—guarding minds with freedom from the spirit of fear; the breastplate of...

THIS ONE'S FOR GOMEDOME (whom I nickname "Hermann")
Saving Hermann from his Folly Hermann’s foolish words swallowed him wholly. In moments like this, he wished he was wise. Little by little, he felt his folly. Dull were his wits; dimly-lit his surmise. A call to repentance entered his room. His firm reluctance mitigated grace. These words were to be...
