Self or the Savior?

Instead, self becomes center
Instead of Christ
Our thinking, our deciding
Self-fulfilment, our prize.
The Key to Life

We are ever in search
Of the key to life
As our scientists, research
And ideas are rife.
The Great Carpenter

To renew, and re-fashion
His Word & Spirit transforming
Molding and shaping
To His image, conforming.
The Fear of God

Yes, fear God and His Word
He surely is with us
Learn to fear the LORD
Our salvation, is Jesus.
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.
Take Your Eyes Off the Problem!

For the God who solved sin
Thro’ sending His Son
Can certainly solve
His children’s problems.
Suffering-God’s Path to Blessings

In Jesus’ suffering, God’s path
To bless fallen man
In His cross, our daily dying
God has shown us, His plan.
Suffering Saints

‘In Me, you have peace’
Spoke Jesus, God’s Son
‘In the world, tribulation
Be courageous… I’ve overcome’.
