True Gain

For he is no fool
Who gives, what he can’t keep
To gain, what he can’t lose
But instead, greatly reap.
Tools God Uses

And so, despite facing testing
Know ‘tis but for a while
In the end, greater glory
So greet with joy, every trial.
Tortured for Christ

So, despite such depravity
The height of men’s evil
You will comfort, and care
LORD God, Your own people.
Time to Start Loving

Too often, each day
It’s all about me
My feelings and thoughts
Too self-centered, I see.
Thoughts, or Prayers?

So, be a faithful prayer warrior
Let us ask, seek and knock
Persevere daily in prayer
To see others unlocked.
The Underground Church

So, remember they’re family
Forget not, stay prayerful
Your brothers and sisters
In Christ… do be faithful.
The Great Carpenter

To renew, and re-fashion
His Word & Spirit transforming
Molding and shaping
To His image, conforming.
Temptation

And while God offers good
Temptation brings evil
Understanding our choice
Be His righteous people.
Teaching to Know, or to Obey?

Far too often, we gather
More head knowledge, attained
But little ‘how-to’, or mentoring
So our lives, are not changed.
Taught by Trials

Therefore, welcome your trials
Your waiting, and suffering
Since God is perfecting
Become His fragrant offering.
