Time machine

Another tick clicks off, the needle pokes my eye,
Stabs me to remember that assignments don't die,
Again and again they rise, bribing me to fly,
If only I could beat the whispers heard inside.
I refuse to flee, I won't recede like the tide,
A battle of the will to conquer days gone by.

In progress, that's the anthem I sing,
Coming along quite beautifully,
In progress, procrastinate like a king,
Praying through the process of accomplishing.

owning the syntax

How can you look down upon the masses, for tryin to amass what your culture loves to lavish,
Your method's savage, takes the people's souls and then sufficiently ravages,
O the damages!
Empty comotosed individuals, walking through our villages,
As the epidemic ruthlessly is killing kids,
Gives its word to satisfy but renigs on all its promises,
They walk about bewildered, the whole bunch of novices,
Saving them?  Why are we pointing fingers asking all, "Whose job is this?"

Sola Scriptura --> Authority of Scripture

Don't be deceived.

1 Cor 2:14-16
But a natural man does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually appraised.

But he who is spiritual appraises all things, yet he himself is appraised by no one.

For WHO HAS KNOWN THE MIND OF THE LORD, THAT HE WILL INSTRUCT HIM? But we have the mind of Christ.

2nd Cor. 10:5
We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.






Truth is found in....
Experience? Feeling?  Belief?

NO.  It's found in the WORD of God.



If there were to be a survey taken regarding what we placed our faith in, would it be in theological doctrine, sermons, preachers.....or would it be in the Holy Scriptures?

If your pastor lost faith, would you?
If he questioned what your church believes, would you?
Do you already?
Do you believe what your church believes?
Would you side with the church if it started promoting something unBiblical?


Do you side with men over Scripture....or Scripture over man?
Chapter Focus Week is over...

I am super exhausted...

My home-church is moving in the exact same direction...

Awesome...


The Spirit will move as the Spirit wills.  Blessed be the Lord our God.  Amen

Beloved

Stop lusting, start loving, give Him your trust, and obey Him always until you're nothing,
Stop envying, with beedy greedy eyes, that you can be satisfied with gold and silver, children's lies.
Bewildered lives, turn from where youre allegiances lie.
If you're not marked by the Lord, you're in line for the wrath by God's sight.
You're in line for death tonight.
Cry out for redemption if your heart is not right, may the Lord then turn the pen so you'll get marked with light.
The tav upon your forehead, makes what's dead come to life.


Quit walking craving glory, trying to write your own story.  Hoping to be a hero so the world will adore ye...How will you tell Christ, that you had him pay the price, so that you could get some praise for some grace for which you didn't sacrifice....or maybe you did, ceremoniously, sold out your Savior to be nailed to a tree...

Quit crucifying God, as if you are free of your sin, whitewashed tomb!  Look at the sins into which you keep diving in.  Striving in...the world, selling to lovers His pearls...adulerating yourself out to the prince of this world....

Repent, and turn back to the God of Heaven and Earth, Align yourself and pledge to the one True God we may serve.  Confess your wickedness and ask for forgiveness, may your life be changed by the regenerative working by the Holy Spirit.  You may not remain, only to prove that your confession was vain.


Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.  Amen.   Lord, please bring about a wind of change here.  We ask for a passion for Your glory to drive us.  May the intense calling to holiness fill our hearts and minds.  Drive us with Your rod from all wickedness.  Instill in us a hatred for iniquity and a love for goodness and justice.  Awake us from the spell of comfort and the stupor of idleness.  Turn us from any an all idols.  Raise up a boldness in us to tear down the high places in our hearts and in the world around us.  May all be subjected to the sovereignty of Your Son, our Redeemer, Lord Jesus Christ.  O Papa, cleanse us.  Please purify us from all unrighteousness as we confess our sins before You.  Renew in each of us a steadfast spirit.  Help us break the bondages we've allowed to take hold and entangle us in sin.  May walk humbly in Your sight now and forever more by the power of Your spirit, for our flesh is weak and prone to desire its own glory for which we deserve death.  Blessed be Your name.  Bless the Lord O my soul.
