A Song in the Night

God's will is good but painful still. Words cannot express. By drawing blood, intends to heal, knowing what is best. If up to us we'd suffer not, to our detriment. Not up to us, we suffer, but to our contentment. Do not despise the rod of love - it will blossom soon. Your teary eyes

How The End Seemed: Documenting the Experiences of the Righteous and the Wicked on the Last Day and Beyond

Good evening. My name is Dr. Doctrino. I am a master in the study of men's thoughts as they go through their own microcosmic history in the macrocosmic history. I am, in other words, a psychological historian. As a psychological historian, I am interested in finding out an individual's experiences, perceptions, conclusions, and emotions during

Grace Upon Grace

His mercies far and deep and wide, His common grace He does not hide but from His purse full at His side gets every man a piece. His wrath is reconciled to wait while His love can be displayed, so granted-faith won't lack her mate, repentance, gift from God. Here common grace and special meet,

The Gospel Bow

I looked with fearful, trembling heart at clouds both thick and dark, around the mountain rock so tall rumble of the thunder's call. But, ah! the sight!- the gospel bow!- it melts my fear like snow. My heart was eased as grace increased beyond my sin and woe. Chorus: The gospel bow, the gospel bow.

This Must Be Heaven

If I could love Him with all the powers of my mindand gaze on Him without constraint of time,hidden in the infinite recesses of eternityburied under the magnitude of infinity.

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
