Long ago, a Savior was bornand hidden within a humble birth;covered with the cloak of humanity,His presence impacted this earth.
Although we remember His birthday,know that Christ is no longer a child;He stopped being an infant, who was…helpless, quiet, tender and mild.
He grew in strength and wisdom;He demonstrated His holy authority;He lived as He divinely...

Living within the house of idol makers,the depth of my soul was perturbed.How could one justify the worship of art?To me, such comprehension was absurd.
And yet, it was still clear to me,that worship was a necessary component;so I craved a logical and moral wayto circumvent my spiritual descent.
Knocking over these impractical statues,made from gold and various...

Unfortunately, ungodly behaviors continue to play outwithin our society, neighborhoods and church pulpits.We Christians must wholeheartedly repent now,before His divine Grace, we unwittingly forfeit.

Do you know what you’re doing?Search your heart’s motivation.What is it, that keeps you going?Are there… corresponding actions?
Refrain from frenetic, frantic busyness,for now is the time for quiet waiting;stop the phony acts of supposed holiness;discontinue the false, religious debating.
Endeavors taken are still your choice.Can your actions stand before God’s...

Help me Lord to focus solely on Thee!Issues and challenges of Life come and go,defining me with my soul’s scarred essence.Yet I remain, beneath Your heavenly flow!
Allow Your Presence to wash over me,removing all evidence of sins’ stains.Continue breaking the ungodly links of…the remnant of shackling, prisoner chains.
Open my eyes fully that I may seethe way You...

Have you envisioned our Lord upon The Cross?Have you seen those considered lost?
Did you notice the absence of Grace?Did you observe tears staining His face?
Can you imagine the agony of His pain?Have you accepted the Gift of the Lamb that was slain?
On that day of crucifixion Love was...

O Lord, I have purposed in my spiritto sing of Your greatness and mercy!Before You I humbly bow and kneel;with my tongue, I exalt only Thee!
The enemy constantly surrounds me;my joy they look to slyly steal.You are my Maker and I’m the clay,previously molded upon Thy Potter’s wheel.
Since Your words drip from my heart,no longer can I remain silent.Use me to write...
