Wisdom redone

Based on this blog entry

Regarding the question, "Would I do this if ____ knew?" That question is double-edged with a vengeance....First, it can reveal that we aren't living up to character standard in the we may want others to think of us (hypocrisy). Second, it can reveal that we care more about what others think of us and our "religiosity" than God.


O how our thinking and living would change if we recognized that Jesus didn't lie in Matthew 28:20.

Might we live with greater boldness and greater fear of God (thus gain wisdom - great recognition of God's promises and His threats)?

Wages of Sin

Too easily I decide to leave You with my eyes,
Heart following the lead accepting sorry bribes,
Even now I try to hide from the guilt that plagues my mind,
Wrath of God filling up a cup to kill this whorish bride.
Appalled that I'm still alive,
Great is my hate toward my slutty pride,
Engaging the world's empty lies,
Sucking down sin, the trade I've plied.
O the despair I bear in stride,
Frustrated for the tears I haven't cried,
Suffering in body, for my spirit is bitter, brittle, dry,
Inclined to question why?
Never had I surmised,
I'd again fall before Your eyes,
Struck down and crushed as Your Spirit's Truth and my wickedness collide.
Destroyed, burnt up by Your righteous sight,
Endlessly weeping and gnashed throughout the night.
Always another death to die,
Truth's judgments are always right.
Hell's gifts are pain and agony, wages for the work of spite.

A second away from death it seems
Dying to the self, only in one's dreams
Under a watchful eye, from which conviction beams
Letting me know that He knows I'm batting for the other team,
Tearing apart our relationship for a little more green,
Even with the knowledge that I'm a pawn in the scheme,
Ripped apart, I lie bleeding, too dead to scream
Yhhhh...

All about me
Die for me again
Underneath the sun, I make Him suffer again for my sin
Little so grim
To shake Heaven
Earning up my wrath for the Day of Condemnation
Repentance beyond my desire
I'm blind for now, but soon my eyes will be opened to the fire.

I will be coming back soon with a lot of new poetry.....hopefully....I have to finish this paper and this other huge assignment first..............

Heated

Too quick to respond, sarcastic man,
Empty out your bullet comments into this victim I am,
Make me your target of rage, the thicket-trapped ram,
Pin me against the altar, pretend I'm your sacrificial lamb
Even now I wonder, I wish I hadn't crossed your land,
Restless is my mind in the moment, but of this grace you'll get a gram.

Antinomianism = "There will be blood"

Be the silly Fellow who won't let them split apart
Announcing that your love will unite them all to Your heart
Never let up your mission to inflame Your spark,
Drive the nails into Your hands to let them know just how far
A God-man will go to ensure that His chosen sheep embark,
Guided by His brilliant life and light through the dark,
Ever ready for His love to forgive the sin they impart.
