How grave the error found in the half-hearted, Casually strolling in the race they’ve just started. Faith bound smartly within the walls of a tick box, Intermittent prayers used like heavenly picklocks. Woe to the lukewarm snoozing their alarm call, Your moat has dried up under the day’s arsenal. Wake up! Prepare a plate asContinue reading “Lukewarm”

Time Lapse
The abacus of life: weekends and paydays, Chasing our lives by sprinting the week dazed. We scan our payslips with an acute aperture, Yet walk right past an old unflipped calendar. Watchful with money but spending time liberally, Only counting its worth when we want a delivery. Wasting days without mind ’til we get thatContinue reading “Time Lapse”
There’s a devil in the camp…
He looks like one of us, nothing about him is ominous, And nothing found in his words of deception is obvious. His shading over Scripture seems of trivial importance, But it finally cascades into paths of non-conformance. Since day one he allured us with glory by shortcuts, To divert faithfulness and justify acting lawless. HeContinue reading “There’s a devil in the camp…”
Ignorance is Blessed
I’ll ignore what you think is important and true, I can’t agree with what you say or guide me to do. I’ll turn from your advice without further thought, Just a few things you stand for will get my support. I won’t take your point of view into consideration, For your way is wrong now,Continue reading “Ignorance is Blessed”
Nothing Remains Hidden
Dexterous deceiver, clawing each direction, Your victims left hollow or filled with infection. An eye on each angle to perfect fright or flight, But your evil trap will always confess to the light. Weaved lines soon become a complex structure, The tool of war used to enrapture and rupture. And you bolster it attentively, nightContinue reading “Nothing Remains Hidden”
Tears of Adam
Bloodstained souls and greed-soaked hearts, Weigh life by the pound and purpose in charts. Mutilation for filling full stomachs and pockets, Degradation and torture, percentage and profits. The tears of Adam fall as he drops to his knees, His abusive sons wardens who masticate peace. Scheming evil treatments and facilities of murder, The commerce ofContinue reading “Tears of Adam”
Apokryptein
Wise books hidden from the laity, as prophesied, Leaning on devotionals to keep their hearts occupied. They doubt the motives of scrolls that are ancient, With logical flaws and fears that are nascent. Their leatherbound idol is held as uncompromised, And so wisdom is hidden from them, as prophesied. But the learned understand that theContinue reading “Apokryptein”
Lost in Tradition
Eyes scaled over, the blight of short-sightedness, Holding the mirror but nothing to light it with. Admiring gems but only after endorsement, Refusing all outside the spiral of reinforcement. Deaf unto death to the wind and the earthquake, Risking infection over considering first aid. Forcing the tuner to the key of your song, Hearing whiteContinue reading “Lost in Tradition”
When It Comes
The morning of our mourning is shattered by our Rock Our Fortress – Deliverer – Oh, shepherd of the flock, The curtains are swept and gathered like lambs, Sweet bleets, blessed Light, and loving commands, We cling to His voice with a new born grip, No foothold for pain – no sin – no slip,Continue reading “When It Comes”
Natural Dancer
You can tell a natural dancer from a trained performer, Even if the latter knows much more than the former. Their rhythm’s innate and so each movement is truth, And with wisdom they flow to however the music moves. But the trained are limited to motions they’ve bought, And expression is bound in the patternsContinue reading “Natural Dancer”
Church of Confusion
“God gave us the Law He knew we couldn’t obey, Then manifested as His Son to lead us a new way. Now the Law’s in our hearts as we walk by the Spirit, Who says the Law’s in the past, we needn’t go near it. Because grace covers up, thanks to our Lord Jesus, WhoContinue reading “Church of Confusion”
Forum-Christians
The Forum-Christian’s “light” to the nations: Devoid of respect and wafer-thin patience. Rude to the atheist, snide to the believer, Either agree with them or be called a deceiver. They litter posts with every quote in their system And bark them without love, honour or wisdom. How proudly they boast about their own salvation, ButContinue reading “Forum-Christians”
Many Will Say…
“Lord Lord! How we glorified you at our church service! D’ya hear our sermons about how your Law’s worthless? Have you seen our great love towards immorality? You must be so proud of our overseas charity! We’ve ensured your old anger’s kept safe undercover, But as for Paul’s writings, may we have another? We upheldContinue reading “Many Will Say…”
Foolishness
Who can judge your ways or correct you on love? Who has a better perspective than you who’s above? Who can teach you about righteousness or wisdom? Who only thinks you’re real if their sins are forgiven? Who can weigh your mercy comparing it to theirs? Who demands you justify yourself without getting scared? TheContinue reading “Foolishness”
Once Saved, Always Saved?
“Once you’ve uttered the prayer you’re saved whatever! You can now act entitled to your slice of forever! You can now be free whenever the Bible contradicts you, You can even blame the devil if the Spirit convicts you! God isn’t really bothered about you changing your ways, He just wants those magic words, soContinue reading “Once Saved, Always Saved?”
Views on the Sabbath
Gratitude The bride of the seven, forever adorned, A time to appreciate all that’s been formed. She rushes to meet us with gifts of repose, Like the seventh prepares an octave in notes. She suspends the cycle before it resets, To help mind and body from all that besets. She’s leaving so soon but willContinue reading “Views on the Sabbath”
False Prophet
Sly little snake, won’t you ever stop your hissing, Teaching the humble it’s wealth they are missing. With an attitude suit that cost an arm and a leg, And platitudes leading to either harm or neglect. Your eyes betray you when your passion ignites, With a smile like the ice found in duper’s delight. HowContinue reading “False Prophet”
Antichristos
If a peace-keeper arrived with the name of Jesus, With bright clouds and healed all kinds of diseases, And taught he was the Father and the Resurrected, Whilst showing grace to all, should he be accepted? Or if a warrior arrived with the name of Yahushua, With dark clouds around a craft called Jerusalem, AndContinue reading “Antichristos”
