The Choice

2010-12-22T06:00:00+00:00

The choice is set before us

It’s one that each must make

The Father has been calling

There’s a fruit that you must take

Self

2010-11-20T06:00:00+00:00

Self is there to help you, he will not let you die
this carrying of your cross he says to you is but a lie
He says you need to nurture him and help him to survive
He says you need to feed him and help him stay alive

Self says he's not your enemy and his death would not be good
so give up this carrying of your cross and this nailing to the wood
Self tells you he is tired and you can quit this race
But another says continue on my child and your cross embrace

Under God's Mighty Hand

2010-11-04T05:00:00+00:00

Under the mighty hand of my Father

There is the place of refuge sure

Near Him no threat of evil can bother

Secure through His love all hells endure

Under the mighty word of my Father

Settles the storm of my anxious thought

Shielded through faith all fiery darts smother

Fullness of joy and rest are wrought

Under the mighty power of my Father

Broken of independent pride

Find in His shadow life like no other

Surrendered to Christ and crucified

Under the mighty light of my Father

The mystery of faith begin to see

The fullness of grace all found in my Brother

His yielded life - His authority

Consideration

2010-08-27T12:12:58+00:00

Before you leave this door,
STOP to consider what you left in store
for others...

Have you left dishes for others to do?
Have left a mess that others must pass through?
Did things get left out by the bathroom sink?
Have you filled the garbage and left it to stink?
Have you broken something and have not made it known?
Are you removing something that is not your own?
Have you swept the dirt tracked all over by your shoe?
Have you turned off the oven and closed the fireplace flew?

How Deep?

2010-08-26T12:02:59+00:00

How deep will we go when Jesus wants all the things we love?

Will we hold onto something from below and to sacrifice that which is from above?

Oh the things we cling to and cherish so very dear,

are often our favorite idols which should truly make us fear.

For we will sacrifice our gifts from God on the very things that take our life:

our time, our money, our strength, and our heart for pleasure with spiritual strife.
