The Power of God

Who is like You, O Lord? Awesome in power! You made exist the world, made it hang on Your word, brought us to this hour! You bring the nations from the dust, prosper them then let them rust, overthrow the strength they trust, then raise them back up from the crust. You set the world

A Poeticatechism

About 5 years ago I wrote a rhyming catechism for my children to memorize, and they have done a good job of it. For a time, though, I have been discontent with its lack of uniform meter. So, with trepidation, I put pen to paper to "reform" the old one so that it retained much

RUN T-U-L-I-P

Mind, the, T! What is up with thee? We all have Total Depravity. Ever since Adam ate from the tree a scar is left in humanity. We're walking dead, a worldly course, cuz from God's life we've been divorced. We have no life, and born with guilt, obliged to pay, our blood be spilt. Though

Inter-millennialism: A New and Better Name for A Good, Old Doctrine

Revelation 20 Contrary to the alpha privative (a-) prefixed to the millennialism that holds to a real millennium, Amillennialism holds to a real millennium. Those with the pre- prefixed to their millennialism immediately shout down this first statement, since the millennium envisioned in Amillennialism is not a literal millennium, and hence, is not a millennium

11th Anniversary Retrospect

Time flies like an arrow to its mark, and our quiver holds one hand full. Its like yesterday we disembarked, didn't think it would speed up at all. Time seemed still for a while, still does, till pictures bring betrayals, details, blessings, the memories God gives us, us - one unit made up of ourselves.

Artsy

What scene can't she capture with her pencil and art? She draws green and azure, the whole from the part. Her heart is full, like the sun, of light-beams and heat. To her wood desk they come, at her paper they meet. Wildflowers, dandelions, so real they're edible. Camomile, columbine, sweet peas with tendrils. Her

You on Judgment Day

So, you're a typical human, sinner, defiled, unregenerate, son of Belial, let me tell you what you're in for, Christ is comin' again, forget world war, whether you were raised in the hood or baptized in Huggies, thinkin' you're good, living in a manse or a mansion, you're worse than you imagine. When that day

Psychology

This is just psychology, staring at me stare at me, mirror full of empathy, mirror that is empty. People think some really twisted things when lack of sleep is applied to their brains, when at night they hear the memory of screams, and think they're near, invading their dreams. Real or not, it isn't likeable,
