My Chains Are Gone
My chief desire in all my writings, is to exalt the Lord Jesus Christ and make Him beautiful and glorious in the eyes of people; and to promote the increase of repentance, faith, and holiness upon earth - J. C. Ryle (1816-1900)

Dear Sweet Morning

Dear Sweet Morning Jesus Christ. Day dawns gleaming after night. Ancient days of dusk till dawn, silent pass until they’re gone. Shards of darkness pierce no more; shattered souls rise off the floor. Hearts once faint now beat strong; newborns sing salvation’s song! Day dawns…

Does My Soul Prosper?

Father, does my will bend as did my Saviour King? In all and all submit as He and only praises bring? Oh God, let me never fail Thee until I’ve run this race and receive a crown of glory: mine only by Your grace. Jesus,…

Eve Speaks

I speak not merely as a woman. Nor do I speak as to a mere man. I speak as God’s Eve Woman. I speak to God’s Adam Man. Man, whence came you? What purpose? What plan? What duty was placed in your care, Man? What…

Evil Among Us

In disguise Evil slithers among us hunting souls to feed his unfilled lust; masked in flesh of every kind and shade: no nation exempt, no gender preferred, no race excluded: all mankind has served. Calculating, Evil glances around, swiftly surrounding the victim he’s found; seeking human…

Glorify The KING of Kings

Such an exciting time of year, when Santa comes to town: once born in a lowly manger he now flies all around; bearing gifts for the whole wide world – for every girl and boy; pulled by his eight little reindeer he brings such peace…

God Speaks

God speaks, “Come, let us reason together.” He makes Man equal; reason his tool. Man rebels, “I will make reason my god and then I shall rule!” Man resents God’s role. God speaks, “The time is ripe for clarity.” He gives Man law to reveal…

God's Perfume

From all peoples, flowers are gathered for God's signature perfume: some God chooses are buds not yet open; others are old, often overlooked by ‘man’. Truly amazing? It's the pale, crushed or broken flowers our Savior picks first, not last: carefully chosen, some tenderly pressed,…

God’s Choir

How dear to us the sweetest sound that we shall ever hear; God’s message wrapped in melody; it’s perfect to our ear. As with artist’s brush on canvas, music with words can say, how Jesus died and lives again, and shows us all His Way.
