“Be strong and of good courage”

And Modern Israel again
Of these words, must take heed
Yet likewise, on our journey
We too also, have need.

His Earthen Vessels

We’re challenged, on every side
Not crushed, tho’ hard-pressed
But thro’ Jesus, not despairing
Our Great Potter, knows best.

Blind Spots

Denying, defending
Denouncing as true
Each weakness and failure
God points out to you?

Escape Temptations

For when tempted, God provides
A way out, an escape
That we’re able, to endure
So let us learn, avoid mistakes.

Deception-Seduction

But in place of God’s lordship
Satan swiftly deceived
Appealed to their senses
Denied truths, God revealed.

Forbidden Fruit

Stay far from temptations
Not seeking our pleasure
Instead, cleaving closer
To Christ, our true treasure.

Be a Woman of Valor

Speak out for righteousness
Declare God’s Truth
Be a woman of valor
Be engaged, not aloof.

All Lives Matter

Not skin color, nor features
Since there’s one human race
Should be all about virtues
Sadly many, have misplaced

So Near…So Far (The Inner…or Outer)

The soldiers were gambling
For Jesus’ garments to win
Concerned with the outer
So blind to their sin.

A Pure Heart

God calls us to love
Have a heart that is pure
Not blemished, nor selfish
Repentant, in Him secure.
