Soldier

Soldier
  Where is the war you are running off to fight ?

  Soldier
  Who's ideology are you fighting for ?

  Soldier
  What will be your spoils of war ?

  Will it be obtaining earthly power
  and possessions ?

   Will it be the wounded you have rescued
   from the battle field of souls ?

   Soldier
   The war is won in Heaven
   How will you win it on the earth ?

   Soldier
   Will you fight to win
   Or will you become another casualty of war ?

Self Portriat

Humble Thy Self In The Sight Of The Lord

Mistaken Idenitity

I was traveling along my life line,
when mine line intersected with a peculiar guy,
In a time and a place,that was not unfamiliar to me.

He stared at his reflection in a mirror, and chanted,
 "Me,My,I."

This was a peculiar sight,
so I could't help but pry,   "Are you all right ?"
 
He replied, "My life line has taken some sever curves and Steep dives !"

I felt compassion for this peculiar Guy's plight , and had to pry,
 "Have you considered inviting God to help you straighten out the sever curves and steep dives in your life ?"

He replied, " Yes,every time I look into a mirror."

"Me,My And I."

The Giant Super Market

Religion is like a giant super market
   It's shelves are stocked with every brand of god
   that the mind can think up

   You will hear most people say
   It's foolish to put your faith in only one brand

   They will advise you not to waste your time
   studying the labels on the back of every god

   For there are too many of them to compare
   just choose the one that looks like it will satisfy your desires
   and relax your conscience

   For life is short

   We all must devote our time to more important things in life
   such as work and play

   Instead of getting lost at the giant super market
   In the maze of aisle that are a mile high
   and stretch for miles in length

When Fog Sets Down

Some times fog set down on the path we travel

     We get confused which way is the right road to travel

     Because we aren't sure if there is a black or white answer to our direction

     So we stumble and we fall
     as we try to find our own way through the fog

     So we in our panic
     send up a prayer toward heaven
     Like a smoke signal, trying to help the Lord to find us in the fog

      But God reminds us
      there is no place that can hide us from His eyes

     So He whispers gently in our ear
     Peace be still
     open your ears and eye to Me
     I will guide you back to safety

     Some times fog sets down on the path we travel

The Way Home

I have journeyed to the crossroads of life
    Where light meets darkness

    To seek you out of love
    To call you back home

    I didn't come to preach about your sin
    You know wrong and right
    I came to help you find your way back home

    You use to walk the road of light
    Now you try to flee from The Lord's sight

    You took a flight down the dark road
    To fulfill your dreams of silver and gold

    Now you can't find your way back home
    You have lost your spiritual sight
 
    You have found yourself wandering around in circles
    Lost in the emptiness and darkness of the world

     I didn't come to preach about your sin

Is It A Twist Of Fate Or The Hand Of God ?

When  the floodgates of opportunity and prosperity are open fore you
    Is this a twist of fate or God's hand of provision ?

    When a stranger helps you get out of a ditch
    Is this a twist of fate or God's hand of mercy ?

    Jesus's death on the cross
    Was this a twist of faith or God's ultimate demonstration of His love toward sinful
    man ?

     When a christian travels along the straight and narrow  road of faith
     Is this a twist of fate or an expression of love and devotional service to God ?

How Does Your Garden Grow ?

A christian life is like fertile field,
     that is purchased with a costly price by The Master,
     Who put the field under our stewardship while He is away.

      Now there are two kinds of seed,
      that will take root in the fertile soil.

      One is The Word of God,
      The other is the desires of the flesh.

      When The Word seed is nurtured,
      It will grow and produce spiritual fruit and abundant life.

      When the desires of the flesh seed is nurtured,
       It will grow to produce false satisfaction and death.

      So when The Master returns,
      Will He be pleased with what you have cultivated in His field ?
 
       Remember what you sow is what you will reap !

Touching the Heart

See the need ,
meet the need ,
Let the world know ,
Jesus loves them so !

Words are cheap ,
actions of love ,
touch the heart deep .

So keep your eyes peeled ,
fore a chance to show them ,
Jesus is more then a myth ,
His presence is real !

See the need ,
meet the need ,
let the world know ,
Jesus loves them so !
