How The Gospel Poetry Came About
How The Gospel Poetry Came About
Overview
To return to the previous page, press the BACK BUTTON on your web browser.
I'd like to tell you a little of how each of the poems in the collection came about. Many of the poems have direct
Bible verses within the lyrics. These are not necessarily in the same order as on the website; and some of these may
not be on the website as of yet.
All the poetry is from the ''My Testimony --To Soar With Jesus Collection''. Written by Daryl Stout.
(C) Copyright 1989, 2012 by Daryl Stout. All Rights Reserved. Any abuse or unauthorized usage of this poetry will be
dealt with at The Judgment Before Jesus Christ. The ''Soar with Jesus'' Eagle Design was created and designed by

Note that If You're Offended By These Words,
The Lord, He Made The Rules...NOT ME...and
The True Hate Crime Committed There would be if I
Betrayed you, and did NOT tell you of
The Judgment that you will face
When You Stand Before The Lord, so
You Can't Say That You Weren't Warned.
when you realize the consequences if you refuse to
accept Jesus Christ As Your Lord And Saviour.
However, The Lord gave you FREE WILL, and whether you choose to ACCEPT or REJECT Him...
Your Decision Will Be Honored at
The Moment Of Your Death, for all
Eternity.
There Are No Less Days in either the joy of Heaven,
The Home Of The Redeemed...or the torment of
The Home Of The Damned...The Lake Of Fire...once you enter either place.
And, if the believers ON Jesus Christ...and not just IN Him, are wrong...they won't lose
much when they die. But, if those who refuse God's Free Love Gift,
are wrong...The Price Of Being Wrong will be far greater than they
ever could pay...eternal torment in The Home Of The Damned.
The reason that this poetry is here...as a WITNESS to those who have not yet repented (turned from) their sin,
and accepted Jesus Christ as their Lord and Saviour...and a MINISTRY
to those who have...is that I do NOT want my fellow man or woman to burn forever in The Lake Of Fire.
Your Eternal Destiny depends on your choice.

Gospel Poetry
Soar With Jesus
Based on Isaiah 40:28-31, the idea came from, of all things, a square dancing belt buckle, with the logo of an Eagle,
against a multi-colored sun, with the words ''Soar With Jesus''. The words for this song are entirely from the
Scripture it is based on, with some slight changes to fit it to poetic form. The art was designed by Dale Larison...who
was living in Oregon the last I heard.
A Friend For Life
The first song I ever wrote came to me about 1 1/2 years before I was saved...in my high school English class. Based on
John 15:13, ''Greater Love Has No Man Than This...That A Man Lay Down His Life For His Friends''. Jesus is A Friend For
Life, both here on Earth...and for those who accept Him as Saviour and Lord...and a Friend in
Eternity as well. As I heard one evangelist describe it...''Jesus can be
your Best Friend, or The Worst Nightmare There Faced''... the latter for those who refuse to
accept Him as Saviour and Lord.
My Life With My Lord
This song is a brief song about my life, and how The Lord always cared for me, in every situation...from my physical
birth...to my spiritual birth...and beyond to my heavenly birth one day...whether it be by death or
Rapture.
Running The Race, Looking To Jesus
Based on Hebrews 12:1-3, life is a race...both physically and spiritually. This song, as the Scripture says...shows us
Who our focus should be on.
The Coming Of Christ
This song was penned in the poetic style of a sonnet, originally done by William Shakespeare...the great English
playwright, who wrote Romeo and Juliet, Macbeth, Hamlet, and other great literary and dramatic works. In short, this
tells of the state of the world just before...and after The Second Coming Of Jesus Christ to Earth...to reign in Power
and Glory.
Maranatha
The title is from a Greek word that means ''Our Lord Come'' or ''The Lord Is Coming Soon''. I originally was going to
do this as a four part choral work, but I integrated it into the accompaniment. A companion piece to
The Coming Of Christ, this tells of
Rapture Of The Church, The Time Of Jacob's Trouble, and martyrdom of believers,
The Coming Of Christ, the Millenium Of Peace,
and The Judgment Of The Great White Throne. This is one of many songs
in the collection that has ''an invitation'' to accept Jesus Christ as Saviour and Lord.
Precious
Based on 1 Peter 2:6-7, no better word could describe what Jesus Christ is to the believer...and to describe the
decision one can make by accepting Jesus Christ as their Lord and Saviour.
Let Me Go On To Glory
This song was written, and lovingly dedicated to the memory of my late grandmother, Rose B. Rentja, who went on to be
with The Lord on June 11, 1993, after a long battle with lung cancer. I read the lyrics at her funeral, but was too
overcome by grief to sing the song itself. It was sung at the funeral of my late father, who died in Feb. 2007, after a
short battle with pancreatic cancer...and read at the funeral for
my late wife, who died April 27, 2007, from a heart attack.
The Gift Is Christ
Based On 2 Corinthians 9:15, this song is my description of Christmas morning. Jesus Christ was not only born of a
Virgin in a manger...and lived on the Earth among mankind...but, He came to die in our place, to save us from our sins,
and with His Resurrection from the dead, to give us Eternal Life, when we accepted
This Gift. To me, the perfect Christmas Tree is ''Three Nails in a Cross of
Solid Wood''.
I Loved You So, My Child
Ironically written on Good Friday, the bass part is constant octaves...signifying the hammering of our sins to The Cross
with Christ...and the nailing of them into the grave. This is one of two songs in the collection where Jesus ''speaks''
from The Cross. The key change in the song symbolizes The Resurrection...and the song finishes with a personal invitation
by Jesus for the unsaved to accept Him as their Lord and Saviour.
Without The Resurrection
Based on 1 Corinthians 15:13-14, this song was ironically penned one Easter weekend. At the time it was done, the church
that I belonged to, usually did their Choir Easter Cantatas a few weeks before the actual Easter Weekend...so the choir
members could go and enjoy other churches Easter Cantatas. As it turned out, the night of Good Friday, no activities
were scheduled at my church. So, I went out square dancing, a hobby I
did from 1986 to 2002...then, took it up again after the death of my wife
in 2007...to keep the loneliness at bay. My late grandmother wasn't too happy with what I did, so I told her ''The
Crucifixion is important...but Without The Resurrection, It's Just Not The Same''.
What Good Is Your Pride Going To Do You In Hell??
This song came to me while hearing a sermon from Evangelist Rick Caldwell. He told of young people who were in a
church service...and who became uneasy when the invitation to
accept Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour was given. He said that their
attitude may have been ''I can't go up to the front, not with all my friends here...I'm too proud for that''. Rick
shot back with ''Let me ask you...What Good Is Your Pride Going To Do You In Hell??''. This is one of two songs in
the collection done in a minor key.
Equal At The Cross
This song came during a Sunday School lesson, where one of the participants, Debbie Smith, noted that ''the ground is
Equal At The Cross''.
The Preaching Of The Cross
Based on 1 Corinthians 1:18-19, this song tells of the joy of the Gospel...how the unsaved feel toward it...and that
the Saints one day will die for their faith.
Do You Have Time For Me??
Based on Revelation 3:20, this song is the most convicting for me personally, physically, and spiritually. All mankind
has 24 hours in a day...and whether we want to admit it or not...we make time for what we want to do. This is the
second song in the collection where Jesus ''speaks''...and asks for each of us to give Him time in our daily lives, no
matter how hectic they are. This song also finishes with a personal invitation by Jesus for the unsaved to
accept Him as their Lord and Saviour.
The Lord, He Saved
A mini-testimony, telling of how The Lord knew me even before I was conceived, how He saved me, how He cares for me, a
personal prayer, and that He is waiting for the unsaved to come to Him as well.
How Shall We Escape??
Based on Hebrews 2:2-3, this is the second song in the collection done in a minor key. Creating a ''spooky''
atmosphere of sorts, it tells of the fate that awaits those of mankind who refuse to
accept Jesus Christ as their Saviour and Lord.
The Last Days
A companion to both The Coming Of Christ, and
Maranatha...this song is an overview of the last days prior to
The Coming Of Christ to Earth. It includes The
Rapture, The Bema Judgment Seat Of Christ, The Marriage Supper Of The Lamb,
The Time Of Jacob's Trouble, The Battle Of Armageddon, When Christ Returns To Planet Earth,
the Millenium Of Peace, The Judgment Of The Great White Throne,
The New Heaven and New Earth, and an invitation to accept Jesus Christ as Saviour and Lord...before all these events
take place.
Borne On An Angels Wings
This song started on a belief that I had when I was real young...when I believed that the offering that was taken at
church went directly to God, Borne On An Angels Wings. The song also tells of the many things done by the Angels Of
The Lord, the messengers of God.
They Never Would've Crucified The Lord Of Glory
Based on Romans 2:8, the powers of darkness...Satan and his demons, thought they had all of mankind doomed to Hell
forever, when Jesus Christ died on the Cross. But, when Jesus rose from the dead, it sealed the defeat of Satan and
his armies. Had they known Christ was going to rise from the dead, they never would have crucified Him...because that
since Jesus defeated death and the grave, the saved would as well.
Rewards Were There For Me To Claim
Based on 1 Corinthians 3:13-15. All mankind will stand before Jesus Christ one day, to give an account for their lives
here on Earth. Those who accepted Him as their Lord and Saviour will be judged
at The Bema Judgment Seat Of Christ on the way they served Him during their
lives...with some works pleasing to Him, and others not at all. Christians, due to their sin nature, may shrink back to
where they lose rewards, but not so far as to lose salvation...as the issue of sin for Christians was settled at The
Cross, when they accepted Jesus Christ as their Lord and Saviour.
The Way
Based On Matthew 7:13-14, this song tells that of all the things that mankind does in life, thinking that they'll get
them into Heaven...they will instead hear the somber Judgment from the Lord Jesus Christ ''Depart from Me...
For you, I've Never Known...and tragically, many will end up this way.
The song also includes an invitation to
accept Jesus Christ as Saviour and Lord, and to become part of
The Believing Remnant...the few...that will inherit Eternal Life.
Sinner, Seek The Lord Today While He May Be Found
Based On Isaiah 55:6, this tells that one day, the Grace Of God will come to an end...and after that point, it'll be
too late for those who rejected Jesus Christ as Saviour and Lord to receive Him. These will be sentenced at The Great
White Throne Judgment to the Eternal Lake Of Fire.
The Day The Spirit Of The Lord Came And Pricked My Heart
Based on Acts 2:37, this tells of when The Spirit Of The Lord began to convict me of my sin, and my need to
accept Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour.
Your Sins Are A Barrier
Based On Isaiah 59:2, this tells of how man is out of fellowship with God, because of the sin in his life...as it has
put a barrier between him and God. It also tells how God sent His Son, Jesus Christ, to die on the Cross in our place,
and remove the sin barrier, if we would accept Him as our Lord and Saviour.
Statement Of Faith
Originally from a Christian BBS (bulletin board system) Network, SON_Net, this statement is how I believe. Although the
SON_Net BBS Network is no more...and for that matter, sadly very few BBS's
are still online, I still subscribe to this Statement of Faith. With The Lord's Help, I transcribed the document into
poetic verse.
When You're Far Away From Home
Many people can relate to this poem, with feelings of homesickness, etc. This was written when I found out that I was to
move with my family from south Florida...to central Arkansas...due to my late father's company transferring the family.
The bottom line is that no matter where you are...if you know The Lord, He's with you always.
The Sun -- God's Light On The World...plus
Sunset
These two poems tell of the beauty of the sunrise and sunset...God's created light on the world.
His Story
History has been called ''His Story''...and this poem tells of Creation, man's rebellion and sin before God, God
sending His Son, Jesus Christ to this Earth, to be born of a Virgin, to live among us, to die on an Old Rugged Cross
for our sins, to be raised from the dead, and to one day return to this Earth in Power and Glory to reign...finishing
with an invitation to accept Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour.
Sin Won't Rise A Second Time
Based on Nahum 1:9, this tells of how sin first corrupted God's Heaven, when introduced by Lucifer (who became Satan)...
then the Earth...then how God dealt with the sin...by judgment, then by sending His Son, Jesus Christ, to Earth, to die
for the sins of the world. When Christ Returns To Planet Earth,
at His Second Coming, and after His Millenium Of Peace,
Satan's evil forces try one last rebellion, but are cast into the Lake Of Fire, along with all who refused to
accept Jesus Christ as their Lord and Saviour. God then creates a New Heaven
and a New Earth, and tells that sin won't be permitted to rise up a second time.
A Life On Trial
The inspiration for this came, ironically, from serving on jury duty in central Arkansas, in 1998, on two capital murder
trials. Where mankind may ''get away with murder'' in this life, their lives will be before The Righteous Judge of all
the Earth one day...and all the evidence...hidden and visible...will be there for all to see...with
No Question Of Guilt. Those who
accepted Jesus Christ as their Lord and Saviour will have Jesus as their
''Defense Attorney'' before God. On the other hand, those who refused to
accept Jesus Christ as their Lord and Saviour will have Jesus as their
''Prosecuting Attorney'', ''Judge'', ''Jury'', and ''Executioner''...and
No One Will Defend The Lost, because
No One Gets Off Scot Free.
Springtime
Done in the style of a Shakesperian sonnet, originally done by William Shakespeare, the great English playwright, who
wrote Romeo and Juliet, Macbeth, Hamlet, and other great literary and dramatic works. This tells of the rebirth of life
with the spring season...now that winter's icy chill is gone.
Christmas Means and
I Remember Christmas Past
These two poems, tell of the true meaning of Christmas, and how I remember Christmas of long ago, as I was growing up.
The Cry
Various ''cries'' throughout history...from God, His Prophets, John The Baptist, Jesus Christ, The People Of Jerusalem
at Christ's Triumphal Entry, and at His Crucifixion, The Angel At The Empty Tomb...The Archangel at the
Rapture, and lastly, asking what the sinner's cry is toward God.
Today, Oh, Lord, What Will You Have Me Do??
Based on Acts 9:6, when the former Saul Of Tarsus, the son of a Pharisee, who was on a mission to Damascus to round up
the early church believers...to arrest, imprison, and eventually kill them. He was blinded by a midday light from
Heaven, brighter than the sun. The voice of Jesus asked Saul ''Why are you persecuting me?''. Saul asked ''Who are you,
Lord?'', and Jesus told him that it was He who Saul was actually persecuting. Saul then asked ''Lord, What Will
You Have Me Do??''. This should be the question ALL TRUE CHRISTIANS should ask Christ every day...as He Is The
Lord...and His Children are His Servants. Saul became the Apostle Paul, who was inspired to write much of the
New Testament portion of The Books Of The Bible.
The Lasting Treasure
Many people go after things of this lifetime, but sadly fail to realize that ''you can't take it with you''. All who
have died, are in their graves without one thin dime (let alone a wooden nickel) in their hands. Even the graves of the
Pharoahs of Egypt have had their tombs looted. A quote sums it up well: ''All this life will soon be past...only what's
done for Christ will last''. Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever (Hebrews 13:8)...and He is the One
you CAN take with you after death...IF you will
accept Him as your Lord and Saviour.
Choices
We make choices every day of our lives. The choice to reject or
accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour is the most important choice
that you'll ever make.
Vessels Of The Lord
Based on Acts 9:15, after the former Saul Of Tarsus (now the Apostle Paul) was converted on the road to Damascus; where
The Lord said that ''he is a chosen vessel for My Use''. All of His Children are that...even in their human, sinful,
form of the corruptible flesh of this life.
The Road to the 1977 Florida All State Chorus
I had sung for many years, but never knew of my musical gifts until high school. When I began chorus, I literally
couldn't hit a tone in a bucket. But, by the end of the year...The Lord graciously gave me these musical gifts:
A. Perfect pitch -- Having had no formal ''Ear Training'' whatsoever, I can be singing with a group, and tell
if we're ''on key''. I can also tell whether an instrument is out of tune...and without looking, can reproduce a note
on the piano after hearing it played. I was given the award of ''Most Improved Chorus Student'' at years end. The next
year, only myself and a fellow student, Elvy Rose Alvarez, were the only ones from the south Florida area to make the
Florida All State Chorus, held in Orlando in 1977.
B. Sight Reading -- I can pick up a piece of choral or vocal music that I've never seen before, and sing it as
written...unless there are a lot of ''accidentals'' in the music...then it takes some work.
C. Piano Playing and Song Writing -- Having been reluctant to practice my piano lessons when growing up, I took
it up one day on my own. The songs I write basically are chordal improvisation, and rather simple. However, the melody
and basic accompaniment gets the job done. To me, the words are more important than the music.
Unfortunately, declining health over the years has greatly reduced or eliminated my participation in choirs, etc....but,
I still enjoy singing and writing poetry for The Lord.
Drama and A Thespian Is...
Having been part of theatre arts in high school, I wrote these poems telling briefly of what all is involved.
The International Thespian Society,
named after the Greek actor Thespus, is a group of individuals who enjoy working with theatre arts, dramatic
productions, etc. The experience carried over into dramatic cantatas done at churches. The most memorable experience I
have was doing ''Joy Comes In The Morning'' at
Geyer Springs First Baptist Church in Little Rock, Arkansas. Surrounding the last week
of Jesus' Life on Earth, it dealt with Palm Sunday, The Last Supper, The Betrayal in the Garden Of Gethsemane by Judas
Iscariot, the denial of knowing him by Peter, the beating before Pontious Pilate, His carrying of The Cross, upon which
He was crucified...and His Resurrection. It was like a ''time warp''...choir members went from being the angry mob...to
the weeping mourners in a matter of seconds. You felt like you were there at the Crucifixion...and then experiencing the
joy of the Resurrection.
Music
Again in the same poetic sonnet style of Springtime, this is a brief
overview of what music is...and my favorites of it.
The Rocky Road Of Life
Life is a challenge, from birth to death...whether one marries or not. The best decision one can make is
accepting Jesus Christ as their Lord and Saviour.
You Can't Earn God's Salvation
Based on Acts 8:20, the only thing that will obtain Salvation in Jesus Christ is through admitting that you're a
sinner, that nothing else can save you, and that you're willing to turn away from your sin (repent), and
accept what Jesus Christ did for you on Calvary. Doing good deeds,
what's right in this life, etc. is not enough...and God's Salvation can not be bought...it is a
free gift to all who would receive it.
The Lord Has No Pleasure In The Death Of Those Who Die
Based on Ezekiel 18:32. For everyone who refuses to accept God's
Free Love Gift in what Jesus Christ did on Calvary's Rugged Cross for all
who would ever live, that is one less soul in the Kingdom Of God...and it brings no pleasure to God to have to cast
these into the Lake Of Fire for all Eternity, with Satan and his demons.
This poem also carries an anti-abortion message.
Eternally and Eternity
From time past, to the present day, to the future...how you will fare eternally, at
The Moment Of Your Death is dependent on what you
did with Jesus Christ while you were here on Earth.
Don't Take A Chance With God
Tomorrow Is Promised To No One...let alone the next 5 seconds. Taking a
chance with God is like playing eternal Russian Roulette with your soul. If that ''gun'' fires, you won't have a
chance to change your mind.
The Second Home
Everyone has a home where they live, and hopefully, a church home...their Second Home...where The Word Of God, and the
message of Jesus Christ Crucified and Resurrected, is preached. For a time,
Second Baptist Church, Little Rock, Arkansas, was my ''Second Home''...pun intended.
Unfortunately, due to health issues...and several churches over the years saying that ''I am too overbearing, and have too much
emotional baggage''...it has become impractical for me to attend church anymore.
Oh, That You Would Bless Me (The Prayer Of Jabez)
Based on 1 Chronicles 4:9-10 and Proverbs 3:5-6, the story of Jabez' simple prayer to God, God's granting of his
request...and the admonition to trust The Lord with all things.
What Will You Do With Jesus Christ??
This question is the most important question that you, and everyone who has ever lived on Earth must answer.
Your Eternal Destiny...blessedness or doom...depends on your decision.
Jesus will either be your Saviour, or your Judge; your Best Friend, or
The Worst Nightmare There Faced.
An All Consuming Fire Is Our God
Based on Deuteronomy 4:24, the all consuming fire of God tells of His Awesome Power and Glory, and how that will
destroy the wicked one day in judgment.
The Judgment
Based on Hebrews 9:27, when man dies, they will face a judgment and an accounting before The Lord. It'll be either at
The Bema Judgment Seat Of Christ, The Judgment Of The Sheep and The Goats,
or at The Judgment Of The Great White Throne Those at
The Bema Judgment Seat Of Christ, or as the Sheep, will live and reign forever with Jesus Christ in Heaven, as they accepted
God's Free Love Gift of what Jesus Christ did for them on Calvary. Those who
are as the Goats, or at The Judgment Of The Great White Throne will have rejected this Gift, and will spend
Eternity in the Lake Of Fire, with Satan and his demonic hordes.
God's Protection
Throughout history, God has protected his own from His Wrath and Judgment, by removing the believers before
The Judgment fell. The fate of those who spurned this protection is
obvious.
Why Do The Heathen Of The Earth Always Rage?
Based on Psalm 2:1, the question is asked ''What Has God Done to deserve all the contempt directed toward Him?''. He
gave mankind everything they could ever want or need...and they responded by ''thumbing their nose'' at His Goodness.
The Cross Is Empty
Many people wear crucifixes (crosses) around their necks, some with ''a figure of Jesus Christ'' on them. However,
Christ was taken down off of the Cross after His Death, which was to pay for the sins of all mankind who would ever
live. After 3 days in the grave, He arose from the dead...defeating both Death and the grave. So, both The Cross and
The Tomb are Empty. However, to receive this free gift, it must be humbly
and willingly accepted.
For You Would Not Allow It
This will be the main reason that people are sent to Eternal Doom in the Lake Of Fire from
The Judgment Of The Great White Throne
The Lord Did All He Could To Save Your Soul...
however, this forgiveness was not applied to these people, because they would not allow it.
One Heartbeat Away
At death, which can come quickly, and without warning...life is over. And, at that point, so is the chance you have to
accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour. If you don't accept Him, you
automatically reject Him.
No Question Of Guilt
Everyone will stand before God one day to give an account of their life. Everything done...the good, the bad,
the ugly...in thought, word, or deed...whether done in secret, or in the open...will be displayed for all to see. And,
there will be no question of guilt on your part for the deeds that you did.
The Words Are So Inadequate
Just saying THANK YOU to God for sending His Only Begotten Son, The Lord Jesus Christ, to Earth, to die for all
sins, seems so inadequate...as we can NEVER repay Him for what He did for us.
God Will Not Wait Forever
While God is patient, He will not wait forever for mankind to repent of his sinful ways, and come to
accept His Free Love Gift in the Person Of His Only Begotten Son,
Jesus Christ, as Lord and Saviour. One day, His Patience and His Grace will run out, and it'll be too late to make that
decision.
Your Life Is Being Recorded
Everything that you say, think, and do...whether in the open for all to see...or in secrecy...is being recorded. And, it
will be played back at The Judgment to be used against you. While you
might ''get away with murder'' on Earth...whether you thought of killing someone, or you actually killed them...you
will answer for that deed When You Stand Before The Lord one day.
The Books Of The Bible
From the 39 books of the Old Testament, to the 27 books of the New Testament, God's plan for mankind, and history, is
noted therein. While Heaven and Earth will pass away one day,
God's Words Live Forever, Friend.
Years From Now, You'll Remember
Many years after your death, you will remember how you reacted when you first heard the Gospel that Jesus Christ died
for your sins. You'll remember whether you either repented of your sin, and
accepted Him as Lord and Saviour...or whether you rejected His
Free Love Gift for you.
The One Sin Unforgiven
There is only one sin that God will NOT forgive...the rejection of His Only Begotten Son, The Lord Jesus Christ,
in His Life, Death, and Resurrection, to pay for every other sin that mankind would ever do. And, if this one sin is on your
''record'', it will keep you OUT of Heaven...and instead, send you to the Lake Of Fire to be tormented for all
Eternity.
One Day, On Bended Knee
Based on Phillippians 2:10-11...one day, either humbly and willingly...or from compulsion, and Without Excuse, by the
Truth Of God's Word...for everyone who has lived on Earth throughout Eternity;
EVERY KNEE WILL BOW, and EVERY TONGUE WILL CONFESS that JESUS CHRIST IS LORD...to the Glory of God
The Father. What you do with Jesus Christ, God's Free Love Gift, will determine
which way you will bow before Him.
The Commandments Ten
Based on Exodus 20:3-17, the Ten Commandments that God gave to Moses on Mount Sinai. But, if you break only one of
these commandments, there is only one way you can be forgiven; as just one sin, the breaking of the law,
will keep you OUT of Heaven, without Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour.
The Rapture And Beyond
Based on 1 Corinthians 15:51-55, 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17, and other verses...this tells what will happen at the
Rapture of the Church, and beyond...and a message for those reading this
before, and after the Rapture.
Like A Roaring Lion
Based on 1 Peter 5:8, Satan is like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour, and destroy. His rebellion started
with deceiving one third of the angelic realm; and because ''misery loves company''...throughout history, Satan and
his demonic minions have worked to try to keep all mankind from hearing the Good News...that Jesus Christ, The Lion
Of Judah, died on Calvary to save mankind from all their sins, if they'll only come to Jesus in humility, repentance,
and faith. Satan was defeated once before, at the Resurrection; and Christ will again defeat Satan and his forces at
both the Second Coming, and at the end of the Millenium...then cast Satan and his evil hordes into the Lake Of Fire,
to be tormented for all Eternity.
The Counterfeit Prince Of Peace
Based on Revelation 6:2, after the Rapture Of The Church, an evil king will
rise to power, proclaiming himself to be ''the saviour of the world''. In reality, he will be ''The Counterfeit Prince
Of Peace'', the Antichrist, Satan Incarnate...worse than Judas Isacariot...the disciple who betrayed Jesus Christ for
thirty pieces of silver. This individual, who Scripture terms as ''The Beast'', will unleash such a flood tide of evil,
that'll make the regimes of Hitler, Stalin, and other tyrannical despots throughout history, to pale by comparison.
But, he and his ally, The False Prophet, will be cast into The Lake Of Fire, to suffer for all
Eternity, at the Second Coming of Jesus Christ...and they later will be
joined by Satan, his demonic hordes, and everyone who refused
God's Free Love Gift.
When You Stand Before The Lord
Based on 2 Corinthians 5:10 and Revelation 20:12, when you stand before The Lord
Jesus Christ, to give an accounting for your life on Earth...how you will react to it will be whether you rejected or
accepted God's Free Love Gift.
Children Are A Heritage
Based on Psalm 127:3, children are a heritage of The Lord, a physical gift from God. Sadly, many of these children are
never born, due to ''abortion by convenience'', killing the unborn child, thinking the child is a ''side effect from
having sex''. Having never known the curse of sin or an Earthly life, these are with Jesus Christ, and the angels in
Heaven. Jesus Christ alone can cleanse you from this sin, if you will repent of your sin, and
accept Him as Lord and Saviour...for ''the Lord hates the shedding of
innocent blood''. Christ Himself was innocent, when He went to The Cross, to die for all the sins ever committed...even
abortion.
Where Did They All Go??
Based on 1 Corinthians 15:51-55, 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17, and other verses, this will be the cry of those left behind
at the Rapture of the Church. The joy in store for those raptured is told in
this poem, and also how you can be part of this group, if you're reading it before the
Rapture occurs.
If You Wait, 'Til It's Too Late
At your death...which can come suddenly, and without warning...it'll be too late for you to
accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour. God is able to save all those
who call upon His Name, in repentance and faith...up until The Moment Of Your Death...when the threshhold of
Eternity is crossed. You'll see that you're The One To Blame...in your
suffering for all Eternity...if you reject what Jesus Christ did for you on
The Cross Of Calvary.
The Testing Of The Lord
Based on Matthew 4:7 and Malachi 3:10, testing or ''tempting'' The Lord is a dangerous thing to do. It can be
whether you dare for Him to strike you dead (such as asking to be hit by lightning), or your repeated mocking and
spurning of His Grace. For if you push God too far, you WILL regret it Eternally. However, there is
ONE INSTANCE in Scripture where God WILL allow you to ''test'' Him...but, it must be done in a loving,
giving spirit...in bringing all the tithes to His Storehouse. Then, He will open up the windows of Heaven, to pour out
so many blessings, that there won't be room enough to receive them. Aside from this, will YOU pass the
Greatest Test Of All?? Will you reject or
accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour??
Your Eternal Destiny
There are many beliefs on where people will go when they die. Some believe that once you're dead...that's it...just
like the Saducees of Biblical days...so they're ''sad, you see'' (pun intended). Others believe that you go to a place
of preparation first, such as Purgatory...the term of which is NOT in the Bible. But, in truth...only two places
exist. If you do nothing, you'll go to a place of eternal suffering...first Hell, then the Lake Of Fire. However, if
you accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour, you'll go to a place of
eternal joy...Heaven.
The Price Of Being Wrong
In any decision, when one is wrong, they have to deal with the consequences. Concerning the religions of the world...if
the believers ON Jesus, and not just IN Jesus, are wrong...they won't lose very much when they die. But,
if those who reject Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour, are wrong...they will lose far more at their death.
What Can God Do To Me??
People give little thought to the gravity of this question when they ask it. The Creator of all things can provide
blessings, and just as easily remove them...as well as bringing triumph, or allowing tragedy to enter ones life. He can
also save a repentant sinner from eternal damnation, if they will humbly let Him...or He can cast the unregenerate into
The Lake Of Fire.
Judgment Must Begin
Based on 1 Peter 4:17, God's Judgment must begin at His Throne, with His Children. If those who have
accepted Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour are going to be judged, where
does that leave those who have rejected Jesus??
Betrayed
When you're betrayed by a close friend, you feel that your whole world has crashed down. And, I'd be betrayed to you,
as a friend...if I didn't warn you about God's Judgment for sin. This poetry collection is a witness to those who have
not accepted Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour...and a ministry to those who
have. The choice of whether you accept or reject Jesus Christ is yours to make.
The Wages Of Sin
Based on Romans 6:23, the ''wages of sin'' is physical death...where the shedding of innocent blood would have to pay
for any sin commited. But, God provided the Gift of Eternal Life through His Only Begotten Son, The Lord Jesus Christ,
in His Precious Blood shed on an Old Rugged Cross. On Easter morn, Jesus got ''payback'', defeating Hell and the Grave
at His Resurrection. While the wages of sin (physical death) are never reduced, those who have
accepted Jesus Christ as their Lord and Saviour...and ''who are alive and
remain'' at the Rapture Of The Church, will NOT have to receive these
wages. Will you be in this group??
For All Have Sinned
Based on Romans 3:23, everyone who has lived on Earth has sinned before God. And, only one sin done will keep you out
of Heaven. The only perfect, sinless life lived on Earth was The Lord Jesus Christ...God's Only Begotten Son...who left
Heaven's Glory to come to Earth, be born of a Virgin, live and walk among us in all ways (except without sin), and then
be crucified on an Old Rugged Cross to die to pay for every sin done. Even The Virgin Mary, the Earthly Mother of Jesus
Christ, made an offering of turtledoves, as she knew that Jesus Christ would be her Saviour. In Luke 1:46-47, she sang
''My soul does magnify The Lord, and my spirit has rejoiced in God, My Saviour''. If she was sinless, as some believe,
WHY did she say she needed a Saviour?? And, as I John 1:10 says, ''If we say we have no sin, we make God a liar,
and His Word is not in us''. After your death, you WILL stand in Judgment before The Risen Lord, Jesus Christ.
If He sees that you did not accept what He did on Calvary, refusing to
repent of your sin, and receive Him as your Lord and Saviour...that puts
The One Sin Unforgiven, on your ''record''...and, Christ will have no choice
but to condemn you to The Lake Of Fire, to be tormented for all Eternity
...with Satan, his demonic hordes, and every other person on Earth, who also refused God's
Free Love Gift.
The Changing Of God's Word
Based on Revelation 22:18-19, the adding to, or taking away from God's Word, is an Eternally dangerous sin. If
God did change, everything would be consumed by His Righteous Judgment. Man's words are spoken and changed, but God's
Word NEVER changes. For those who add to, or take away from His Word...such as in various Bible translations...He
will add to them the plagues described in The Bible...and take away their citizenship in The New Heaven, The New Earth,
and The New Jerusalem...casting them into the Lake Of Fire, with Satan, his demonic hordes, and everyone else throughout
history who rejected Him...and They Shall Be Tormented Day And Night.
Those Not In God's Kingdom
Based on Galatians 5:19-21, 1 Corinthians 6:9-10, and Revelation 21:27 and 22:15, these tell of everyone who will
NOT be in God's Kingdom of eternal peace and blessing. Instead, they'll suffer eternal damnation, and never
ending torment in the Lake Of Fire, where Satan, his demonic hordes, and all the unsaved will be. All the deeds listed,
or just the sin of rejecting Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour...if any of these show up when your life is reviewed
before Jesus Christ, you tragically will also be a part of this group.
Tragedy At Rapture
These words seem out of place, as the Rapture is the fantastic event for all
those, dead and alive, who have accepted Jesus Christ as their Lord and Saviour.
The tragedy will be for all those who are left behind, as they will witness a period that truly can be called ''Hell On
Earth''. A period of Great Tribulation will engulf the Earth, never seen before. At the end of that time, Jesus Christ...
The King Of Kings, and Lord Of Lords...will return in Power and Glory...
with the Heavenly Host, and all those who were raptured seven years earlier. After casting
The Counterfeit Prince Of Peace and The False Prophet into The Lake Of Fire,
as well as destroying the contending armies at the Battle Of Armageddon, and all who rejected Him...He will set up His
Kingdom, and Of Christ's Kingdom, There Shall Be No End, starting with the
Millenium Of Peace.
I'll Break The Pride Of Your Power
Based on Leviticus 26:19, nations and individuals who get proud and cocky with their power...whether from wealth or
other means...will have the pride of their power broken by The Lord. Their nations and their lives will be afflicted
with adversity, and see their wealth and riches disappear...because they thought more of these things, than of the
things of The Lord. And, He wants to break the pride of your power in your rebellion toward Him...by your repenting of
your sin, and accepting Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour.
Lost Without A Compass
Anyone who has lost their sense of direction...whether while traveling, being outdoors, at sea, etc. knows how
frustrating and confusing things are...especially if they don't have a compass or a way to guide them. Just as being
lost without a compass in this life is discouraging, being lost without a compass from an eternal standpoint is far
worse. God Almighty, The Lord Jesus Christ, is the Master Compass of Life, and He can right your ship, if you will
accept Him as Lord and Saviour, and let Him be your Guide. Those who refuse
this direction will be Eternally lost.
Going Home
The idea for this came at a memorial service for a friend of the family...actually from a sermon entitled
''The Enoch Story''. Based on Genesis 5:22-24, Enoch was a man who walked with God on a daily basis. Every day at
sunset, the time came for them to go their separate ways...but one day, God told Enoch ''Tonight, we're closer to
My Home''...and so God took him Home to Heaven. When the sunset of your life arrives, which home will you go to
Eternally?? God's Home Of Bliss in Heaven, reserved for those who repented of their sin, and by faith,
accepted Jesus Christ as their Lord and Saviour?? Or to
The Home Of The Damned and unregenerate, full of eternal suffering and
pain?? The choice is yours.
All Roads Lead To God; But To Heaven, Only One
All roads do lead to God, in the Person of His Son, The Lord Jesus Christ, The Giver Of All Life. However,
ONLY ONE ROAD LEADS TO HEAVEN...no matter what the religions of the world say. You'll face The Lord Jesus Christ
at one of two Judgments...either at The Bema Judgment Seat Of Christ), or at
The Judgment Of The Great White Throne. The difference is
whether or not you accepted Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour, while you
were on Earth.
The Wicked Shall Be Turned Into Hell
Based on Psalms 9:17, the destination for all who refuse to repent of their sin, and to
accept Jesus Christ as their Lord and Saviour, will first be the torment of
Hell...then after The Judgment Of The Great White Throne, Eternal Suffering in the Lake Of Fire, with Satan and his demons.
You Are Bound For Hell
Like it or not, unless you accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour...at
your death, you are bound for Hell...and then the Lake of Fire for all Eternity
with Satan and his demons. It takes NO DECISION TO GO TO HELL, but it DOES TAKE A DECISION TO GO TO HEAVEN.
No One Else But Jesus lived a sinless life worthy to go to Heaven...and putting your faith in anything else (good deeds,
religions, etc.) to get you to Heaven will be WORTHLESS When You Stand Before The Lord on Judgment Day.
When Christ Returns To Planet Earth
Jesus Christ, God's Only Begotten Son, The King Of Kings, and Lord Of Lords,
and The Only Way To Heaven, will return to Earth one day...and life on Earth will no longer be ''business as usual''.
First at the Rapture Of The Church, then seven years later, at the Second
Coming, He will set up His Millenium Of Peace, and destroy all those who rejected Him. You can be part of the
Bride of Christ, if you repent of your sin, and accept Him as Lord and Saviour BEFORE the
Rapture Of The Church, and part of the Heavenly Host at the Second Coming.
However, if you also reject Him during The Time Of Jacob's Trouble, you'll be destroyed at the Second Coming, and suffer
eternal torment in the Lake Of Fire with Satan and his demons.
Your Righteousness As Filthy Rags
Based on Isaiah 64:6, all the good deeds that you could ever do to try to enter Heaven, are as filthy rags...literally,
bloody menstrual cloths...before God. And, if God sees these ''dirty rags'', instead of ''rags as clean white snow'',
washed by the Precious Blood Of His Only Begotten Son, The Lord Jesus Christ...He will have no choice but to send you to
the Lake Of Fire, to suffer for all Eternity. Whether this ''spiritual wash'' is done, is determined by your rejection
or acceptance of Christ as your Lord and Saviour.
Going Through The Motions
Going through the motions, in your ''religious life''...to where it becomes ritualistic...to where you could ''do it in
your sleep'', is done by so many people. You're fooling others into thinking that you are really blessed by God, but the
fool is really YOU. Like the nauseating effects of tepid water (neither cold nor hot, but lukewarm), Jesus will
''vomit these lukewarm individuals out of His Mouth''. You think you're pleasing God, but you're literally ''making Him
sick'' by your actions. You'll be ashamed, and terrified one day
When You Stand Before The Lord...if all you did was ''live
like The Lord for a few hours on Sunday, but lived like Satan the rest of the week''...a hypocrite in everything you did.
If you don't feel the conviction of the Holy Spirit in your ''life of sin'', the question is ''did you truly
accept Christ as your Lord and Saviour, forsaking the old life of sin??''.
Hated By The Lord
Based on Proverbs 6:16-19, there are six things The Lord hates, and a seventh is an abomination to Him. He also hates it
when someone dies without receiving Jesus Christ as their Lord and Saviour.
Wouldn't you rather be loved by The Lord, instead of being hated by Him, in His Righteous Anger??
The Will Of The Lord
If you've wondered what The Will Of The Lord is, it can be summed up this way. He is Sovereign over all creation, and
His Will is determined by the prayers of His People. He will either direct or permit circumstances, according to what
mankind does...but His Divine Will ultimately will ALWAYS be accomplished...no matter what man thinks or wants...
and nothing that occurs catches Him by surprise. And, it is also His Will that ''no one should die in their sin, but
that all should come to repentance'' by faith in His Only Begotten Son, The Lord Jesus Christ. However, He gave
mankind ''free will'', to accept or reject Him.
Seals, Bowls, and Trumpets
Three sets of seven judgments, are set to come upon the Earth, during The Time Of Jacob's Trouble, The Great Tribulation,
in the seven year period before Jesus Christ returns to Earth in Power and Glory. Starting after the
Rapture Of The Church, these will increase in scope and severity, until Christ
returns. While the ''actual order'' is ''seals, trumpets, and bowls'', I modified the title a bit for better poetic
rhythm. Regardless of order, they WILL occur...but, you can miss all of these, if you repent of your sin, and
accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour, before the
Rapture.
Unless It's Done For Christ, It Does No Good
When your life is over, and you stand before God's Son, Jesus Christ, in Judgment...you'll realize that only what you
did in your life for Jesus Christ will last for Eternity as gold, siver, and precious stones. Anything else, done for
self, will burn up as wood, hay, and stubble. So, while your deeds may appear to be gold, silver, and precious stones,
His Refining Fire will show if these are true, or false. And,
When You Stand Before The Lord one day, if you don't even
have the gem of repenting of your sin, and
accepting Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour...you, and your entire book
of lifes deeds will burn, suffering for all Eternity, in the Lake Of Fire.
King Of Kings, and Lord Of Lords
Based On Revelation 17:14 and 19:16, Jesus Christ, God's Only Begotten Son, is the ULTIMATE Ruling Authority.
When He came to Earth the first time, to suffer and die for the sins of mankind...He humbly and willingly submitted to
both the Will of His Heavenly Father, and to the wisdom of Earthly Potentates. At His Second Coming, He'll COMPEL
all of these rulers to PERMANENTLY YIELD their scepters to Him, as King Of Kings, and Lord Of Lords...and
Of Christ's Kingdom, There Shall Be No End. How you will react when you meet Him will be determined
whether or not you accepted Him as your Lord and Saviour, while you lived
on Earth.
Quickly Coming Is the Lord
Based on Revelation 2:5 and 16, 3:11, 22: 7, 12, 20...when mankind least expects it, The Lord Jesus Christ will
Return...first at the Rapture Of The Church, and then seven years later to
Return PERMANENTLY to the Earth. When the moment on God's Timetable for Christ's Return arrives, He will no
longer delay...but come quickly. Those who repent of their sin,
accepting Jesus Christ as their Lord and Saviour, and serve Him every day,
won't be caught off guard when He returns.
God Is Like The Wind
You can't see the wind, or know where it began. But, you can see the effects of it...whether it's a gentle rustling
breeze, or from a powerful tornado, or hurricane. God is like the wind...He has always existed, and while you can't see
Him, there's evidence of His Power throughout all Creation. He is in control of everything, including lifes storms...
both weather related, and various situations. But, the greatest storm of all is the one for your eternal soul. Will you
accept His Son, Jesus Christ, as your Lord and Saviour?? Or will you negate
the cooling breeze of His Salvation, and instead prefer the blazing, never ending, inferno heat of the Lake Of Fire??
The Lord Is In Control
Throughout Eternity past, present, and future...The Lord is in control...even though it may not seem like it, with all
the evil in the world throughout history. But, if God were to cease control for even a nanosecond, the entire universe
would implode upon itself. The Lord, by His Direct or Permissive Will, either directs or allows things to happen, people
to be in charge of a nation, etc. And, His Will will ultimately be done...whether mankind accepts or believes that, or
not. And, The Lord wants you to give Him Control of your life, by
accepting Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour. However, He will not force
this control on you...it's your choice to accept or reject Him.
Your Eternal Destiny hinges on your decision.
The Lord Is Not Surprised
When good and bad things happen, people wonder if The Lord ''was surprised''. The truth is, He knows all of Eternity...
from Creation into the Future and beyond. Nothing happens without His Direct or Permissive Will...whether it's done in
secret or in the open...unheard or shouted from the mountains. He knows everyones motives, words, and thoughts, before
they're even brought to mind, or to our tongue. He knows what is best for us, and what will destroy us. And, He
ultimately knows whether one will accept or reject Him...but that
decision is up to the individual to make....what they decide determines
where they will go when they die.
The Now And Eternal Cost
There is a cost to following Jesus Christ...both here on Earth...and Eternally. For those accepting God's
Free Love Gift of Salvation...it may appear that they are suffering greatly
in this life, with persecution from their friends, etc. But, either at death or
rapture, all that was endured for Christ will be worth it all, in exchange
for eternal joy and bliss. By contrast, those who rejected this Precious
Gift, not wanting to be ostracized on Earth, and preferring a life of sin...these will pay a far greater cost in
Eternity, in the Lake Of Fire. Which of these costs you wish to pay is a choice that you alone must make.
Heaven Or Hell
No matter what you've heard, only one of two destinations will be yours when you die. It won't be purgatory,
reincarnation, or even a state of eternal sleep. It'll either be Heaven...The Home Of The Redeemed, for those who
accepted Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour, and served Him throughout their
lives...or Hell...The Home Of The Damned, who rejected God's
Free Love Gift...accompanied by Satan, his demonic hordes, and the vilest
and most evil people that ever lived on this Earth. Compared to the beauty of Heaven, the agony of Hell is a stopover
on the way to The Lake Of Fire, where the unrepentant and unregenerate will suffer in never ending torment. As noted,
Heaven is a place of incredible beauty, where God The Father, His Only Begotten Son, Jesus Christ, The Holy Spirit, and
those who trusted in Christ through the years now dwell. At the
Rapture Of The Church, all those who died in the faith, will receive their
new, eternal, resurrection bodies, in a split second before the saved ''who are alive and remain''...and all these
will meet Christ in the sky, seven years prior to His Return to Earth in Power and Glory to rule and reign. And, since
only a perfect sinless life can enter Heaven, No One Else But Jesus is
qualified. By dying in our place on that Old Rugged Cross, and sealing the victory with His Resurrection, He made the
way to enter Heaven by His Righteousness, applied to all those who would turn from their sin, and
accept Him as their Lord and Saviour. YOU ALONE must make the
decision to either accept, or reject Jesus Christ. And, while God will
NOT FORCE you to make a decision, the consequences of that decision will determine where you will go upon your
death...which can come at any moment, without warning.
What Will Christ Jesus Say To You??
Like it, admit it, accept it, believe it, or not...you WILL stand before Christ Jesus one day, in judgment. What
He will say to you will be determined by whether or not you
accepted what He did for you on Calvary's Old Rugged Cross, and how you
lived your life on Earth...serving Him, or your own sinful desires.
The Gamble
Many people gamble in various ways...betting on sporting events, playing at the casinos, taking part in lotteries, etc.
The sad thing is, that the ones who are spending the most money on these things, are the ones who can least afford it.
But, many more are playing ''Russian Roulette'' with their soul, gambling that ''Heaven Is Guaranteed To Them At Death''.
But, just as you have a better chance at being struck by lightning here on
Earth, than winning big time at a gambling vice...you have the same chance of being struck by the 'Divine Lightning Of
God's Judgment''...if you choose to gamble with your soul, and that your ''good deeds'' will get you that ''winning
ticket to Glory''. Only by repenting of your sin, and
accepting Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour, will you be allowed
entrance into Heaven.
The Grace Of God
God's Grace...it is totally unmerited and undeserved, by everyone on Earth. Yet, because God has always loved man...in
spite of his rebellion...He sent His Only Begotten Son, The Lord Jesus Christ, to Earth. He, who left Heaven's Glory,
for a sinful Earth...to be born of a Virgin, Christ lived and walked among us, in all ways, but without sin or guile.
For God knew that by Christ's Life on Earth, His Precious Blood that was shed for every sin mankind would ever
commit...resulting in His Undeserved Death on the Old Rugged Cross of Calvary, and His Glorious Resurrection on the
Third Day, redemption would be a FREE GIFT to all who would receive it.
Even though all the sins of those who accept Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour are forgiven, where these can now enter
Heaven and eternal joy at their death...God's Grace is a
License To Serve; Not License To Sin...as it's the least that we can do
for Him, since we can NEVER repay Him for dying in our place. However, this
Free Gift is NOT automatic...you must humbly, and willingly
accept it. If you refuse it, Christ will have NO CHOICE, but to
condemn you to suffer Eternally in The Lake Of Fire, with Satan, his demons, and every one of the most evil and vile
people that ever walked this Earth.
What Will You Be Doing??
When Christ returns...first at the Rapture Of The Church...then seven years
after The Great Tribulation has wracked the Earth...what will you be doing?? Will you be ashamed, as you were engaged
in acts of sin...or will you rejoice, as you were serving The Lord when He returns?? For while the
Rapture is ONLY for those who through the years have
accepted Him as their Lord and Saviour...whether they're alive or not at
that time...His Second Coming will be where Every Eye Will See Him. He will order the resurrection of the dead,
and the translation of the living ''in the twinkling of an eye'' at the
Rapture. And, at His Second Coming, it'll be too late to fall at His Feet,
and call Him Lord.
The Cross Of Christ
The Cross Of Christ, where God's Plan Of Redemption was fulfilled, by the Shed Blood of The Lord...is
Precious to the repentant sinner, and a joke to those who reject it. But,
The Last Judgment was prefigured on Calvary..with The Lord (the Judge) in the center, the lost (the Goats) on the left,
and the saved (the Sheep) on the right. The ground is Equal At The Cross,
and God's Free Love Gift, obtained by what Christ did there, is available
as a Free Gift to all who would receive it. Where you will go upon your
death is determined by whether you accepted, or rejected it.
The Name Of Jesus
Based on Philppians 2:9-11, the Name Of Jesus, is above every other name in Heaven, on Earth, and under the Earth. And
one day, everyone who has ever lived...will bow before His Throne, and at His Name, confessing that He is Lord, to the
Glory of God The Father. His Name encompasses all that God has; and there are only two ways to use that wonderful
Name...either in prayer to Him, or when you witness of Him. Anything else...including as ''a swear word''...is taking
His Name in vain, and He will NOT hold you guiltless if you do this. The Name is
Precious to the repentant sinner, who comes to Him in faith, to
accept Him as their Lord and Saviour...and it is terrifying to those who
reject Him, when they will face Him one day. Which way is this Name to you??
The Suffering Servant
Based entirely on the prophecy of the book of Isaiah, chapter 53, it tells of Jesus Christ, The Lamb Of God,
The Messiah, as The Suffering Servant...His role in His first visit to Earth...to suffer and die for the sins of
everyone would ever live. Now, as conquering King, He will one day return to judge the world, and the lives of
everyone who would ever live. And, depending on what you did with Him while you were on Earth, will determine where you
spend Eternity...either with the eternal joy of Heaven, or eternal torment
in The Lake Of Fire.
Tomorrow Is Promised To No One
You may have plans that you're going to live for many years...when in actuality, tomorrow is promised to no one...not
even the next five seconds. I experienced this fact, firsthand, with the untimely death of
my wife three weeks shy of our fourth wedding anniversary. Every day and
moment of life is a gift from God, just as the Death of His Only Begotten Son, The Lord Jesus Christ, on Calvary's Old
Rugged Cross, was for mankind so long ago. Today could very well be your last day on Earth...and you may in fact, be in
your final minutes of life here on Earth. Once the threshhold of Eternity
is crossed at death, it is TOO LATE to repent of your sin, and
accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour. And, if you fail to make that
choice, you will regret it Eternally, as you suffer never ending torment in
The Lake Of Fire.
No One Else But Jesus
Based On Acts 4:12, there is Salvation ONLY in Jesus Christ...and ONLY by believing on Him,
accepting what He did for you on Calvary's Rugged Cross, dying in your
place for your sin, and making Him your personal Saviour, and Lord of Your Life...will get you to Heaven. Praying to,
believing in, or on another person, a church, a religion, or something else for your salvation, will send you to
eternal torment in The Lake Of Fire, with Satan, his demonic hordes, and everyone else who rejected God's
Free Love Gift.
What Lies Ahead
What lies ahead for you at The Moment Of Your Death will be eternal
torment in The Lake Of Fire, if you rejected Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour...or eternal joy in Heaven, if you
accepted God's Free Love Gift. The choice is yours, and I pray that you
will make the right one.
Relationship, Not Religion
To put it in perspective...it's NOT what you know...but WHO you know...to get you into
Eternity. If you have not
accepted Jesus Christ as Your Lord and Saviour, anything else that you do
or believe on in life will COUNT FOR NOTHING
When You Stand Before The Lord one day.
The Only Time That Satan Truthfully Speaks
Originally the covering cherub, who guarded the Throne of God, Lucifer filled with pride, and became Satan...the father
of lies...when he deceived one third of the angelic realm into thinking they could overthrow God and His Heavenly
Kingdom. Amazingly, there are times when Satan does tell the truth...usually the moment an unsaved soul enters the pit
of Hell. But, neither he, nor anyone else, can fool God. Usually, Satan's speaking is really to cover up what he's doing,
and to keep people from hearing the Gospel that Jesus Christ died for their sins, and to free them from Satan's grip. And,
this tragic truth is what you'll find out if you die in your sins, having never
accepted Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour.
After death, it's Too Late to make that decision...for
One Day, On Bended Knee...Satan, his demonic hordes, and all the
unrepentant souls that have ever lived, will all bow on their kneees in the Lake Of Fire, compelled by the Truth of
God's Word, and declare that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the Glory of God The Father. When a true believer...one who has
accepted Jesus Christ as their Lord and Saviour...knows that they are
seated with Christ in the Heavenlies, uses The Name Of Jesus on Satan or
his demons, they MUST back off...as they are TERRIFIED of that Name, because it represents to them their
humiliating DEFEAT at Jesus' Resurrection.
The Great Whore
The worst thing that a woman can be called is a whore. These prostituted, adulteresses, have been around for centuries,
engaged in the orgy of unbridled sexual behavior...known as ''the world's oldest profession''. While the Bible does
mention two of these...Rahab (Joshua 2-6), and the sinful woman (John 8:10-11)...and both of these experienced God's
Amazing Grace...the subject of this poem is ''The Great Whore'' (Revelation 17:1-18). This counterfeit, apostate,
ecumenical church, revealed after the Rapture, will be the Antichrist's Tool
during the first part of The Great Tribulation...and this church will be comprised of all the worlds ''religions'', and
those left behind after the Rapture, who choose to be a part of it. This
church will be totally contrary to The Word Of God, as any emphasis on
what Jesus Christ did for mankind will be removed from its doctrine. Then,
sometime during The Time Of Jacob's Trouble,
The Counterfeit Prince Of Peace will
destroy it, as he...literally, Satan incarnate...will demand worship as God. However, just as he destroys The Great
Whore, he himself will be defeated and captured alive by Jesus Christ at His Second Coming...and The Lord will cast The
Beast into The Lake Of Fire, along with his ally, the False Prophet. They will be joined later by Satan, his demonic
hordes, and all those on Earth who refused God's Free Love Gift, in the
Person of His Son, Jesus Christ...and They Shall Be Tormented Day And Night.
Will I See You At Christ's Throne??
This pointed question is to everyone who reads this poetry collection that The Lord has graciously given me. Will I see
you there at Christ's Throne, or will you not be there, because you chose to reject God's
Free Love Gift??
A Reunion Like No Other
Many of us have been to family reunions in this life...but one day, there will be a reunion like no other. First, the
Day Of Rapture, when all those who have died in the faith, having
accepted Jesus Christ as their Lord and Saviour...will be joined by all the
saved who are alive and remain...to all meet Jesus Christ, the One who made it all possible...and these will never say
''goodbye'' again. Tragically, a reunion like no other also exists for those who choose to reject God's
Free Love Gift, when instead of meeting who could have been their Best
Friend in all Eternity...Christ will be The Worst Nightmare There Faced.
At The Great White Throne Judgment, all the unsaved, evil souls that have ever lived, will be reunited
with Satan, his demons, The Counterfeit Prince Of Peace (The Antichrist),
and The False Prophet, and be sentenced to be tormented forever in the Lake Of Fire. Which reunion you'll be a part of
is determined by whether or not you reject or
accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour.
Two Feasts Of The Future
Based on Revelation 19:7-9, and 17-18, there are two feasts of the future...as different as night and day. First, the
Marriage Supper Of The Lamb, where Jesus Christ, The Groom, serves His Bride, The Church, of all the redeemed saints
from Pentecost to the Rapture, who
accepted Jesus Christ as their Lord and Saviour. This feast is where
everyone lives happily ever after. By contrast, ''The Feast Of Fools'' is the repugnant bloodbath carnage from the
Battle Of Armageddon, where the worlds armies, try with demonic fury, to attack Jesus Christ and the Heavenly Host at
Christ's Second Coming. With just a Word, the multitudes fall as one...dead...and the resulting quagmire of 200 miles
is so great, that Christ calls the vultures and all the birds of the air to feast. Everyone will be part of one of
these feasts...the first one where you will enjoy the food and fellowship, not having to worry about getting sick...and
the second one so gross that the thought of it can make you sick!! It all depends on whether or not you
accepted Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour before the
Rapture...or whether you took the Mark Of The Beast,
Eternally damning yourself to the Lake Of Fire with Satan, his demonic
hordes, and all the others who refused to
accept Jesus Christ as their Lord and Saviour.
The Last Person Saved
God has always had a ''Divine Quota'' of how many would be saved before His Judgment fell upon the Earth. It was Noah,
his wife, their three sons, and their wives prior to the Great Flood (Genesis 6-9), Lot and his two daughters prior to
the fiery destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah (Genesis 18:20-19:29)(although Lot's daughters got him into a drunken,
incestuous relationship afterwards), and all the saved from Pentecost (Acts 2) to the
Rapture of The Church (I Corinthians 15:51-55). And, once that last person
in God's Quota has been reached, God will remove His Believers, and Judgment will fall quickly. Each soul saved counts
toward that total, and only God knows who the last person is. While you may or may not actually be the last person to
accept Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour, and reach that quota...being part
of that quota that will be removed before the Judgment falls is much better than being left behind to face the Judgment
of Almighty God.
There Is No Second Chance
Contrary to what you may have heard, there is NO SECOND CHANCE after death to make the decision to
accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour. Once the threshhold of
Eternity is crossed, if you failed to make that all important decision,
it'll be one that you'll regret for all Eternity. You'll realize seconds
after you enter the torment of Hell, that Jesus Christ died to save you from that tragic fate...if you had only
accepted what He had done for you. And, while some have gone to Hell for a very brief time, then returned...that
happening is EXTREMELY RARE...and it's NOT worth gambling with your eternal soul. Plus, reincarnation
is another lie from the Pit Of Hell...as Hebrews 9:27 notes
It's Appointed All To Die, and after this,
The Judgment. If you do nothing, and end up in torment, you'll wish there
was a second chance...but tragically realize that it will never come.
Who Is Jesus??
This is a question that EVERYONE must answer...as you WILL stand before Him one day. Some say He was just
a man, others say a prophet, and some think ''Jesus is a curse word''. Truth be told, He is The Son Of God, The Creator
Of The Universe, The King Of Kings, And Lord Of Lords, The Saviour Of The
World. and The Judge Of All Mankind. Depending on how you answered that question while here on Earth
(Lip Service Isn't Good Enough), will determine whether He will be your
Best Friend in all Eternity...or the most Terrifying Person you will ever
face.
Not In A Hurry
With the rapid pace of life today, it's hard to believe that there are two things that people are NOT in a hurry
to do...accept Jesus Christ as their Lord and Saviour...and die. Now is the
time, today is the day of salvation...for life is like a vapor, and it can end suddenly, without warning. And, after
death, it'll be too late to make that decision for Jesus Christ...and the eternal torment the unsaved will endure in
the Lake Of Fire will never end.
It's Appointed All To Die
Based on Hebrews 9:27, because of the sin of our first parents, Adam and Eve, in the Garden Of Eden (Genesis 3), it is
appointed to all to die, and after this, judgment. Except for those who have by faith,
accepted Jesus Christ as their Lord and Saviour, who are alive and remain at
the Rapture, all mankind one day will die, and face The Lord in Judgment.
Those in the faith who are alive at the Rapture, will be changed without
having to experience ''The Wages Of Sin''...physical death. However,
everyone will face Jesus Christ at The Judgment...at the Judgment Seat Of
Christ, if they've accepted Jesus Christ as their Lord and Saviour...or at
The Great White Throne if they've rejected Him.
The Effectual Fervent Prayer
Based on James 5:16, ''the effectual, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails (accomplishes) much''. God Almighty has
given His Children the Wonderful Privilege of Prayer, in direct communication and fellowship with Him, The Creator Of
The Universe, anytime and anywhere. I have personally heard many, many instances of answered prayer, and have
experienced it firsthand as well. While The Lord answers prayer in His Time, and NOT ours...we have to bring it
to Him, by faith, to the Throne Of Grace, and LEAVE IT THERE. No matter what the situation or need...no mattier
how small, trivial, minor, or major...including the Sinners Prayer
...The Lord is ready and willing to answer the prayers of His Children. Have you prayed that
Sinners Prayer as well?? He has the time to hear you, and answer
you, if you will come to Him in repentance and faith, if you do so before
The Moment Of Your Death.
The Moment Of Your Death
No one knows the exact moment when they will die. And, at the moment of your death, which can come suddenly, and without warning
(some literally ''drop dead''), you'll instantly go to one of two places...either Heaven, if you've repented of your
sin, and accepted Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour...or Hell, if you
refused God's Free Love Gift.
Other Gospels Preached
Based on Galatians 1:7-9, if anyone preaches another Gospel...besides Jesus Christ, God's Only Begotten Son, who left the
Glory Of Heaven, to come to Earth, to be born of a Virgin, to live and walk among mankind in all ways, except without
sin, was crucified for the sins of all mankind on an Old Rugged Cross, was resurrected on the third day according to the
Scriptures, and is coming back one day to rule and reign in Power and Glory...let him be cursed. God inspired the
prophet Jeremiah to write ''Cursed are they that do the Lord's Work deceitfully''. Satan has for centuries deceived
billions...saying that there are many ways to Heaven. But, the truth is that if the Gospel that is preached is NOT
what is in God's Holy Word, then it is a FALSE Gospel. These include ''gospels'' which do not preach against sin,
those that teach that ''your church, or your works will save you'', that ''God owes you Heaven'', etc. If you accept
this rather than the Truth, you will be in for a rude awakening at
The Moment Of Your Death.
What Must I Do To Be Saved??
Based on Acts 16:30-31, the simple answer to this question that everyone must answer, determines whether they go to
Heaven Or Hell when they die. As the jailer asked Paul and Silas, ''What
Must I Do To be Saved??''...Paul's reply ''Believe on The Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved''. This belief is
MORE than ''lip service''...it means turning from a life of sin,
admitting that you're a sinner, you can't save yourself, and you
ask Jesus Christ, God's Only Begotten Son, to forgive your sin, to come into
your heart and life, as your Lord and Saviour...and then you serve Him with all your heart and life.
The One Thing God Requires
Based on John 6:29, the one thing that God requires is to ''believe on the One He has sent''...in the person of His
Only Begotten Son, The Lord Jesus Christ. While He didn't have to do it, Christ left the Glory Of Heaven, to come to
Earth, be born of a Virgin, and live like us in all ways, except without sin. Christ suffered and died in the place of
you and me...on that Old Rugged Cross for every sin we'd ever commit. His Resurrection sealed the victory over sin and
death, and this will be yours as well...if you have that one thing God requires
When You Stand Before The Lord on Judgment Day.
The Gospel In A Nutshell
Based on John 3:16-18, the Gospel (Good News) is that ''God so loved the world, that He gave His Only Son (the Lord
Jesus Christ), that whoever would believe on Him would not die (spiritually), but have eternal life. God sent Christ
into the world not to condemn it, but that the world through Him would be saved. Whoever believes on (accepts) Jesus
Christ as their Lord and Saviour is not condemned, but those who don't are condmened already''. People try to add to
the simplicity of the Gospel, and what it takes to get into Heaven...when
The One Thing God Requires is to believe on the One He has sent. For those
who refuse to accept God's Free Love Gift, they will see that they're
The One To Blame on Judgment Day.
Without Excuse
Based on Romans 1:20, all Creation declares God's Glory. Having read
The Gospel In A Nutshell through this Gospel Poetry Collection, you are
now WITHOUT EXCUSE, and you will NOT be able to say that ''you have never heard The Gospel'', when you
stand before The Lord Jesus Christ on Judgment Day. If you do not make a decision to repent of your sin, and to
accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour, while you're alive on Earth...
you will tragically be part of Those Not In God's Kingdom, and spend
Eternity in The Lake Of Fire, with Satan, his demonic hordes, and all of
mankind who refused God's Free Love Gift.
Zip, Zero, Zilch
These three words ''signify nothing''...the value of all you've gained in life at your death. The Pharoahs of old have
had their tombs looted, and the wealthiest millionaires on Earth who have died, are in their graves without one thin
dime (never mind a wooden nickel) in their hands. The only thing you can take into
Eternity is if you've accepted
God's Free Love Gift...by repenting of your sin, and accepting Jesus Christ
as your Lord and Saviour...plus any works done solely to win souls into His Kingdom, and doing works for His Glory. As
someone once so eloquently put it, ''All this life will soon be past...just what's done for Christ will last''.
A Letter From The Lord
Just as to the seven churches in Revelation, The Bible is God's Letter to mankind, concerning His Plan Of Redemption for
the sinner. Whether you go to the blessings of Heaven...or to the torments of Hell at your death...is determined by
whether you accept or reject the contents of the letter...and whether or not you
accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour.
The Only Thing That Matters
When You Stand Before The Lord, there will be only one thing that matters
most...whether or not you accepted God's Free Love Gift, in the person of
His Only Begotten Son, Jesus Christ. Where you will spend Eternity is
determined upon your decision.
The Last Laugh
There is a saying that ''He who laughs last, laughs best''...and everyone likes to have ''the last laugh''. However,
from an eternal standpoint, The Lord will have the last laugh, the final say in things...including where you spend
Eternity...depending on your
acceptance or rejection of what He did for you on Calvary.
The Five Eternal Crowns
The Bible records that at The Bema Judgment Seat Of Christ, five eternal crowns await those who have
accepted Jesus Christ as their Lord and Saviour. They are
The Crown Of Victory...for those who have overcome their fleshly, sinful desires...
The Crown Of Rejoicing...for those who have shared their faith, witnessing for Christ at every opportunity, and
have won souls to God's Kingdom...The Crown Of Righteousness...for those who are Loving The Appearing Of The Lord,
eagerly anticipating The Rapture, and The Second Coming Of Jesus Christ...
The Crown Of Life...to those who suffer and die for their faith...and The Crown Of Glory...for those men
called to preach God's Holy Word, who serve Christ in love and humility, as a preacher of a congregation. However, if
you refuse to accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour, and serve Him in
the way noted to earn these crowns...or are just Going Through The Motions, as
People Who Are Christians Just In Name, the amount of these crowns that you will receive is
Zip, Zero, Zilch.
By Their Fruits, You'll Know Them
Based On Matthew 7:16-20, the true test of peoples motives are what they produce in their lives. Just as a good tree
can not produce bad fruit...and a bad tree can not produce good fruit...those who have accepted Jesus Christ as their
Lord and Saviour, produce things pleasing to The Lord. Those who are just
Going Through The Motions...or who have not yet
accepted Jesus Christ as their Lord and Saviour...will one day, be like the
bad trees that are cut down, and cast into the Fire. When The Lord examines ''the roots'' of the tree of your life, will
He find them stained with sin, or washed clean by His Blood?? The result determines where you will spend
Eternity.
The Eternal Square
One of my other hobbies, square dancing, brings to mind verses from
Psalms 149:3...''Let us Praise His Name in the dance''...and 2 Samuel 6:14...''David danced before The Lord with all
his might''. Several dancers have gone on to be with The Lord...and He, Christ Jesus, The Master Caller for our lives,
wants you to repent of your sin, accept Him as Lord and Saviour...and to
join The Eternal Square that will never break down, and as the song says, ''the circle won't be broken''.
Your Sin Will Find You Out
Based On Numbers 32:23, whatever sin you do, you will have to answer for it one day...and you will be found out about
it. Whether in this life, or at The Judgment, there will be
No Question Of Guilt as to the sins in your life. Will you repent of your
sin, and accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour, to have Him pay for
your sins?? Or will you pay for them yourself forever in The Lake Of Fire??
Hell Was Meant For Satan
Based on Matthew 25:41, it must be fairly stated that Hell was meant for Satan and his demons...and NOT for
mankind. Tragically, many will end up here, because they refused to
Accept Jesus Christ As Their Lord And Saviour. God does NOT send
anyone to Hell...they go there of their own free will and choice. Since sin of any kind can not enter Heaven, everyone
who has not had their lives cleansed by the Blood Of Jesus Christ, will end up in this terrible place of never ending
torment. Hell will eventually be cast into The Lake Of Fire...along with Death (the last enemy to be destroyed)...
Satan...his demonic hordes...the Antichrist (The Beast)...The False Prophet...and every unregenerate person who has
ever lived. If you do nothing, in regards to a decision for Jesus Christ, you'll end up here...the choice is yours.
You Can Believe, Or Be Deceived
To get to Heaven, the ONLY way is to believe, and accept by faith, that Jesus Christ, God's Only Begotten Son,
left Heaven's Glory, to come to Earth, to die in place of everyone who would ever live, for every sin they would
commit...that He would rise again on the third day after his Crucifixion...that He's coming back in Power and Glory to
reign...that He is the ONLY way to Heaven...that you must repent (turn) from your sin, and
ask Christ to forgive your sin, and come into your life as your Lord and Saviour.
Or, you can let yourself be deceived by Satan, into thinking that there are many ways to Heaven...and that it's ''owed''
to you. The thing is...One Day, On Bended Knee...EVERYONE...including
Satan, his demonic hordes, and everyone who has ever lived on Earth...will bow on their knees before Jesus Christ, and
declare Him King Of Kings, And Lord Of Lords, to the Glory Of God The
Father. The choice is yours...you can believe the simple truth of God's Word...or be deceived into accepting Satan's
lie...the latter you will regret for all Eternity.
I Wonder What The Lost Will Say
On Judgment Day, everyone who refused God's Free Love Gift, will stand
before Jesus Christ, who will judge them to The Lake Of Fire for all Eternity
...with Satan and his demonic hordes. Those there will undoubtedly offer every kind of reason and excuse imaginable as to
why they should not be there. But, every thought, word, and deed, will be replayed...including the times they had the
chance to make A Decision For Christ, and turned it down. In short, they'll
be Without Excuse, and they'll have to confess the justice of their
sentence. If you do nothing in regards to making A Decision For Jesus Christ,
you'll tragically be part of this group as well.
Sin Is Like A Cancer
Sin, just like cancer, spreads rapidly. Ever since our first parents, Adam and Eve, rebelled in The Garden Of Eden, sin
permeated the entire human race. It took the proper diagnosis from The Lord Jesus Christ, The Great Physician, who would
''perform surgery'' on His Creation, and die on an Old Rugged Cross for every sin committed...and be resurrected on The
Third Day, according to the Scriptures, to ''cure the patient''. The thing is, if you refuse to take this
''Divine Prescription'' of repenting of your sin, and
accepting Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour...just like cancer will
bring death physically...unforgiven sins will bring death spiritually...and eternal punishment in The Lake Of Fire.
License To Serve; Not License To Sin
For those of us who have accepted Jesus Christ as our Lord and Saviour,
while all of the sins that we have done, or will ever do, are paid for...that we have been forgiven for them, and are now
under ''no condemnation from God'', it is NOT a license for us to sin. It is a license to serve...in gratitude to
The Lord for what He did for us, as we can never repay Him for Him dying in our place on The Old Rugged Cross of Calvary.
However, for those who have not yet made that decision for Christ, God's wrath is still upon you...and you have no
guarantee that tomorrow will come, where you can make that decision for Christ. For, if you don't accept Him, you
AUTOMATICALLY reject Him.
God Is Angry With The Wicked
Based on Psalms 7:11, God is angry with the wicked every day. That includes all of those ALIVE AT THIS VERY MOMENT,
who have not accepted His Free Love Gift, in the Person of His Only Begotten
Son, The Lord Jesus Christ. His Wrath burns toward the unsaved RIGHT NOW, and it will be INTENSIFIED if
they die without Christ...and they will experience His Wrath for all Eternity
in The Lake Of Fire. Conversely, for those who HAVE received God's
Free Love Gift, while they still have their ''sin nature'', there is
NO CONDEMNATION to those in Christ Jesus (Romans 8:1)...to these who have repented of their sin, and have
asked Jesus Christ to come into their lives as their Lord and Saviour...as
the ONLY way to Heaven.
Nothing That Defiles
In contrast to all the disgusting and dirty things we see on Earth...in Heaven, there will be nothing that defiles. No
trash, disease, death, pain, sickness, waste, or sin of any kind, will be there. Only those who have
accepted Jesus Christ as their Lord and Saviour will share in the blessings
that God has for His Children. All those who refuse to accept that Free Gift,
will not be there...nor will remembrance of them be brought to mind.
The Home Of The Damned
Unlike the Glory Of Heaven, where there will be eternal joy, blessing, and
Nothing That Defiles...The Home Of The Damned will be a place of never
ending torture, pain, suffering, demonic taunting, and being alone for all
Eternity. There will be no one there to comfort or console any of the
unregenerate there...and all those who refuse to accept God's Free Love Gift
will spend Eternity here, starting at
The Moment Of Their Death...and
They Shall Be Tormented Day And Night.
If You Reject The Lord
Tragically, there may be some reading this Gospel Poetry collection, who have no intention of repenting of their sin,
and accepting God's Free Love Gift...and they regard this entire collection
as ''trash''. However, if you choose to reject The Lord, you'll see that you're
The One To Blame upon
The Moment Of Your Death. Your eternal punishment...in all its horror...is
described in this, and many other poems in this collection.
The Lord Has No Pleasure In The Death Of Those Who Die in their sin...and I
would be considered Betrayed before you, if I didn't share God's Goodness
with you. I also want your answer to the question of
Will I See You At Christ's Throne? to be YES. I personally was right
where you are right now, over 31 years ago. Jesus Christ died for ALL people...all races, all backgrounds, all
cultures, all religions...and No One Else But Jesus will get you to Heaven.
Please don't be one of those that rejects The Lord, and is denied Heaven's Eternal Joy.
The Price Of Being Wrong is far too great for you to pay.
You'll Answer Only For Yourself
When You Stand Before The Lord on Judgment Day, you'll ONLY have to
answer for what you did...NOT what someone else did in their lives. And, every person will have to answer whether
or not they accepted Jesus Christ as their Lord and Saviour. Both those who
have...and for those who haven't...will still have to give an account of their lives at
The Judgment before Jesus Christ.
It'll Be A Shock One Day
To the enemies of The Lord throughout history, it truly will be a shock one day, when He again intervenes in the affairs
of mankind. First, at the Rapture Of The Church...then during
The Time Of Jacob's Trouble...with the Two Witnesses, and the 144,000 Jews that have been sealed to preach the Gospel...and ultimately
at His Second Coming...when He takes His Chosen People, the Jews...and all the others who have
accepted Him as Lord and Saviour, as His Own. To all those who rejected Him,
in favor of another religion, or otherwise...they will be shocked to find out...tragically too late...that they will
NOT be allowed to enter His Millenium Of Peace...but are instead sentenced to eternal damnation in The Lake Of
Fire. No One Else But Jesus will get you to Heaven....and what you do with
Him determines where you will go at The Moment Of Your Death.
The Book Of Life
Just as Precious as God's Holy Word, The Bible, is...there is The Book Of
Life. This book, has written in it, the names of everyone who has ever been born into the world. If by the time the
person dies, they have NOT
accepted Jesus Christ as their Lord and Saviour, their names are
REMOVED from The Book Of Life. During the Great Tribulation, those who
Take The Mark Of The Beast (Revelation 13:18), will have their names
IMMEDIATELY REMOVED from The Book Of Life. At The Judgment, The Book
Of Life will be opened. Your name is NOT GUARANTEED to be in there...UNLESS you have repented of your sin,
and by faith, accepted Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour. Those names
that are in there, will have eternal blessedness in Heaven...while those whose names are not, will have eternal torment
in The Lake Of Fire, The Home Of The Damned.
Grace Through Faith, And Not Of Works
Based on Ephesians 2:8-9, we are saved by Grace Through Faith, the undeserved Gift Of God, and NOT of works,
lest anyone should boast, and be proud. All of our good deeds are as bloody menstrual cloths (filthy rags), and all our
sins are as scarlet. But, when we repent of our sins, and accept by faith, that Jesus Christ, God's Only Begotten Son,
left Heaven's Glory to come to Earth, to be born of a Virgin, live like us in all ways (but without sin), die like a
criminal on an Old Rugged Cross, to pay for every sin we'd ever commit, to rise from the dead on the third day
according to the Scriptures, to ascend to Heaven after 40 days...plus, is interceding for us now as Our Passover And Mediator, and
is coming back to Rapture all those who've
accepted Him as Saviour and Lord, by His Grace through Faith...our sins
become white as snow. Those who preach that salvation is ''grace through faith plus something else (works or otherwise)''
are preaching a FALSE MESSAGE. God's Standard is Perfection...and
except for His Only Begotten Son, The Lord Jesus Christ...NO ONE CAN PAY IT. And,
When You Stand Before The Lord, if you have
The One Sin Unforgiven on your record...of not
accepting God's Free Love Gift, of Salvation by Grace Through Faith, And Not
Of Works...you will spend Eternity in
The Home Of The Damned, The Lake Of Fire, for all
Eternity.
The Fool Says ''There's No God''
Based On Psalms 14:1,3 - God's Word says that ''the fool has said in his heart, ''there is no God''''. Tragically,
Satan and his demonic hordes have spiritually blinded millions throughout history...when yet, all Creation declares the
Glory Of God. To those who deny Him now, God calls them ''fools''...and
One Day, On Bended Knee...all those who have accepted Him...and even those
who have denied Him...will confess that ''Jesus Christ Is Lord''...to the Glory Of God The Father (Phillippians 2:10-11).
Those who've REFUSED God's Free Love Gift will be cast into The Lake
Of Fire...The Home Of The Damned...to be tormented for all
Eternity. Those who've ACCEPTED that same
Gift, will rule and reign with Christ...with blessings...for all
Eternity.
God's Words Live Forever, Friend
Based on Matthew 24:35, while mankind speaks, and his words die...God's Words live forever. In fact, while Heaven and
Earth will cease to exist one day...God's Words will not pass away. You may forget the words that another human being
spoke to you. But, God's Words are a witness about your need to repent of your sin, and
accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour...and God will not let you
forget them. For if you die without making a decision for Christ, these words will be brought back to your memory for
all Eternity...and you will curse yourself forever for refusing
God's Free Love Gift.
If You Take The Mark
After the Rapture Of The Church, the world will enter The Time Of Jacob's Trouble, The Great Tribulation. The Counterfeit Prince Of Peace, the most
evil person the world has ever known, will institute a ''mark'' that everyone will have to take if they want to buy,
sell, or hold a job. Those who take this mark will be guilty of The Selling Of Ones Soul to Satan'', guaranteeing them the events in
this poem...from painful, loathsome sores...to scorpion like stings from creatures from the sky...to death fleeing from
them when they try to commit suicide...to their eternal doom and burning forevermore in The Lake Of Fire, with the
Antichrist, The False Prophet, Satan, his demonic hordes, and all the other unregenerate people who have ever lived. By
contrast to all those who take this mark (of which, the decision is irrevocable)...there will be many who will
accept Jesus Christ as their Lord and Saviour...and they will refuse to take
this mark. This decision will ''cut them off from economic survival''...and they will be hunted down...and likely
captured, imprisoned, tortured, and martyred (likely beheaded) for their faith. But these will rule and reign with
Christ for a thousand years during His Millenial Kingdom...and they will join all of the redeemed in eternal blessings.
Which group will you be part of??
The Freedom Of Religion
The Freedom Of Religion was one of the reasons that the forefathers of America broke away from the rule of England, and
set sail for the shores of America. They wanted the freedom to worship God, as dictated by His Precious Word, and Holy
Spirit...and not be forced into some ritual by the rules and decrees of sinful man. Tragically, many think this should
be ''Freedom From Religion''; where they won't ever have to answer to God. But, The Lord applies this ''Freedom Of
Religion'' to a choice that all mankind must make...to
accept Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour, or to reject Him. And whatever
choice is made, Your Decision Will Be Honored for
Eternity...the eternal blessedness of the redeemed in Heaven...or the
eternal torment in The Lake Of Fire, for those rejecting God's Free Love Gift.
Justice Will Be Done
Ever since mankind sinned against The Lord in The Garden Of Eden, it seems that innocent people, as well as the
righteous individuals serving The Lord...and even unborn children who were victims of abortion...always got ''the short
end of the stick''...where those against The Lord appeared to constantly have the upper hand...benefitting from their
crimes against the innocent. But, one day soon, justice WILL be done. All those who did evil against The Lord and
His Children, will receive the punishment they deserve; and those who
accepted Christ as Saviour, and suffered for The Lord in this life, will be
recipients of immeasurable blessings...and eternal fellowship with The Holy Trinity, throughout
Eternity.
His Truth Refused, God Sends Delusion
Based on 2 Thessalonians 2:11-12, after The Rapture Of The Church...because
mankind refused to believe the simple Truth of God's Word through the ages, He will send them strong delusion, that
they will believe a lie with all their hearts. Then, God will judge these for rejecting the Truth, and believing the lie.
The Lord is basically ''giving mankind over to a reprobate mind'' (Romans 1:28)...they'll be
Given What Was Desired. However, mankind's insatiable appetite for sin and
''unrighteous pleasure'' will never be satisifed. The climax of 21 Divine Judgments of the
Seals, Bowls, And Trumpets will result in The Coming Of Christ to
Earth to set everything right, where Justice Will Be Done. If you refuse to
accept Christ as your Lord and Saviour before
The Rapture Of The Church, you will be exposed to this delusion. If you accept
the lie, and If You Take The Mark, you will suffer never ending torment in
The Lake Of Fire for all Eternity.
You Can't Fool The Lord, My Friend
You may consider yourself as sneaky and crafty, fooling everyone by the life you live...going to church, being benevolent,
etc. to impress people. While you may fool everyone else by what you are doing...as
Going Through The Motions, you can NOT fool The Lord. He knows your
motives, words, and thoughts, and you will answer for everything you've ever done, said, and thought,
When You Stand Before The Lord one day. You will be
Without Excuse, as there will be
No Question Of Guilt for your actions.
Lip Service Isn't Good Enough
Many people think that just because they give Jesus Christ ''lip service''...being a Christian in ''name only''...that's
all they need to enter Heaven. However, unless you have repented of your sin, and
accepted Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour, you will be one of those who
will hear Him say ''For You, I've Never Known''...before you are cast into
The Lake Of Fire, to be tormented for all Eternity.
Your Decision Will Be Honored
Your decision here on Earth to either accept or reject Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour, will also be honored in
Eternity. Those who repent of their sins, and
accept Jesus Christ as their Lord and Saviour while they were on Earth,
will instantly go to Heaven upon The Moment Of Their Death...receiving a
new resurrection body at the Rapture Of The Church, and spend
Eternity in Heaven, with eternal joy. By contrast, those who choose to
reject Jesus Christ, while they were here on Earth, will go to
The Home Of The Damned at
The Moment Of Their Death...first to the torments of Hell, then to The Lake
Of Fire, to suffer for all Eternity. God won't force you to accept His Free
Love Gift, in the Person of His Only Begotten Son, The Lord Jesus Christ. That decision is entirely up to you.
God's Word Is Not Here To Tickle Your Ears
Like it or not, the title says it all. God's Word is not here to tickle your ears...but to convict you of sin, and how to
live as you should before Him. Tragically, many churches would rather preach ''a candy-coated, social gospel'', to avoid
offending their congregations...instead of preaching the uncompromising Word Of God...calling sin as sin...and not
changing God's Word to suit their desires, and what their ears want to hear. And, while The Lord has graciously given me
all the poems in this collection...the poems, and His Word CONVICT ME OF MY SIN ON A DAILY BASIS, and my need to
go to Christ, confessing my sin, repenting of it, and receiving the forgiveness that was obtained for not only me...but
for all mankind...when Christ Jesus died on that Old Rugged Cross. However, one has to
accept Jesus Christ as their Lord and Saviour to obtain that forgiveness...
it is NOT automatically granted to you. And, God can tell your motives...whether you are sincere...or if you're
just Going Through The Motions.
Touching the Apple Of God's Eye
Based On Zachariah 2:3, whoever touches Israel, God's Nation on Earth, touches the Apple Of God's Eye. As God told
Abraham in Genesis 12:1-3, those who bless and pray for Israel and the Jews will be blessed by God...both now, and in
the future. And likewise, those who curse Israel and the Jews will be cursed by God...both now, and in the future.
Every nation of the world rises or falls, depending on how they treat Israel...and God's People. And,
When Christ Returns To Planet Earth, Israel will be where Christ's
Millenium Of Peace will be based. One day, all of Israel will be saved,
and recognize Jesus Christ as her Messiah. But, for those not part of Israel...Jesus Christ wants to be your Messiah as
well...not to mention your Lord and Saviour. And, whether you
accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour, or reject Him...will be just
as how you treated His Chosen People...especially during The Time Of Jacob's Trouble...the period before
When Christ Returns To Planet Earth. You'll either be receiving blessing...or torment...for all
Eternity.
The choice, is yours.
There Will Be No Appeal There
At The Judgment Of The Great White Throne, all of those who have ever lived...who refused to
accept Jesus Christ as their Lord and Saviour, will have their lives
reviewed...in thought, word, and deed. Whether in secret, or in the open...every thing they've ever thought, said, or
done, will be seen by all...the good, the bad, and the ugly.
God's Standard Is Perfection, and the verdict pronounced there, is
FINAL...so there will be NO APPEAL. None of these can meet that Righteous Standard Of Perfection...
although many will try to plead their case, but No One Will Defend The Lost.
And, Christ will tell them that ''For You, I've Never Known''. You can avoid being part of this group, who
will be sentenced to eternal suffering in The Lake of Fire, by repenting of your sin, and
accepting Jesus Christ as Your Lord and Saviour. However, no one can make
this decision for you...and if you fail to make the decision, you will tragically end up with this group.
No Degree Of Sin Exists
While mankind thinks there are ''degrees'' of sin...such as a lie isn't as big a sin as killing someone...in God's Eyes,
ALL SIN IS THE SAME. Just ONE SIN WILL KEEP YOU OUT OF HEAVEN, and
The One Sin Unforgiven on your record is your failure to
accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour.
They Couldn't Look Upon Christ There
There were times in history, where individuals could not look upon the face of Christ...because of His Righteousness
and Power. The Lord declared that ''no one shall see My Face, and live''...although He allowed Moses to ''see Him from
the back...while Moses hid in the Cleft Of The Rock, The Lord passed by''. When Jesus came to Earth to die for our sins,
He said that ''He who has seen Me has seen The Father''. At His Crucifixion, His visage was so marred from the Blood
shed, that no one could look on Him. At His Resurrection, Satan and his demonic hordes could not look on Christ, as they
realized their eternal doom was now sealed. At Christ's Second Coming, those on Earth who took The Mark Of The Beast will
not be able to look on Christ...and neither will those at The Great White Throne Judgment...as The Lord comes in
Righteous Judgment...taking vengeance on all who rejected Him. By repenting of your sin, and
accepting Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour, you will be able to look on
Him, without fear. The ultimate choice, however...is up to you.
The Lord Is Not Politically Correct
In the world today, people talk about being ''politically correct''...not offending anyone, tolerating all religions,
there are many ways to Heaven, etc. However, as the title of this poem says, The Lord is NOT politically correct.
His Word NEVER CHANGES...and it is The Only Thing That Matters.
Like it or not, there are things Hated By The Lord...and you have the
choice to accept Christ as your Lord and Saviour, or to reject Him.
Your Eternal Destiny depends on your choice.
Righteousness Exalts A Nation
Based on Proverbs 14:34, a nation that is righteous is exalted...but sin is a reproach to any people. If a nation lives
by God's Laws, they will be blessed...but if they spurn God's Words, He will remove the blessings, and place judgment
on that nation. And, this applies to you individually as well. God will not approve of a life of sin on Judgment Day,
and He will send you to The Lake Of Fire, to be tormented forever. But, if your life is righteous...only by your
repenting of sin, and accepting Jesus Christ as Your Lord And Saviour, God
will lift you up, where you'll experience His Blessings for all Eternity.
As In The Days Of Noah
Based on Matthew 24:37, the world we live in today is just as in the days of Noah...and in the days of Sodom and
Gomorrah...when the wickedness of mankind will cause God's Righteus Judgment to fall one day...when it's least expected.
However, you can escape the judgment by repenting of your sin, and
accepting Jesus Christ as Your Lord And Saviour.
Repent And Receive, Or Reject And Regret
While God won't force you to make the decision to
accept Jesus Christ as Your Lord And Saviour, you can either repent of your
sin, and receive God's Free Love Gift...or you can reject it, and regret that choice for all
Eternity.
The Majority Was Wrong
Just as in the case of the story of people jumping off a bridge...just because the majority does it, does not make it
right. And, it has been that way through history...with the majority of mankind WRONG time and time again,
concerning things of The Lord. Don't be part of the majority who is wrong, who will choose to reject
God's Free Love Gift.
The True Hate Crime Committed There
Down through history, mankind considers The Preaching Of The Cross, and
God's Warning Of His Coming Judgment against their sin as a ''hate crime''. Truth be told, these who have not yet repented of their sin, and
accepted Jesus Christ as their Lord and Saviour, do NOT want to hear
that they're headed for The Judgment, to
The Home Of The Damned. Those who have
accepted Jesus Christ as Our Lord And Saviour would be guilty of a
''hate crime'' if we did NOT warn of God's Judgment. It is because we do NOT want our fellow man and woman
to burn forever in The Home Of The Damned, as the reason WHY we are giving the warning.
If God gave the warning to us before we repented of our sin...as His Children now, we can do no less in warning those
who still have not chosen God's Free Love Gift.
The Sinner And the Sin
It must be fairly stated that, while The Lord has always loved mankind...even though ALL of us are sinners (since
the rebellion of our first parents, Adam and Eve, in the Garden Of Eden)...The Lord DOES NOT...and
CAN NOT ACCEPT our sinful behavior; For All Have Sinned, and come
short of the Glory Of God. Whether you've broken one or more of
The Commandments Ten, or any other part of God's Holy, Righteous, Perfect
Law...if you have The One Sin Unforgiven on your record
When You Stand Before The Lord at
The Judgment, He will have no choice, but to send you to
The Home Of The Damned. The ultimate decision where you spend
Eternity is up to you.
God's Standard Is Perfection
At The Judgment before Jesus Christ, the standard for ANYONE to
enter Heaven will be to have lived a life of PERFECTION in thought, word, and deed. And, at anytime in your
life...if you broke only ONE of God's Laws...whether you thought about it, or actually did the deed...you are
GUILTY of breaking ALL of God's Laws!! With mankind's sin nature, and propensity to rebel against God,
the ONLY way to Heaven, and how one can achieve this PERFECTION is to repent of our sin, and by faith,
accept Jesus Christ as their Lord and Saviour. Otherwise, NO ONE CAN PAY
THEIR SIN DEBT...and you will spend Eternity in
The Home Of The Damned, if you choose to reject what Jesus Christ did for
you on The Rugged Cross Of Calvary...as you will end up having The One Sin Unforgiven on your record.
From Within, The Nations Fell
All thoughout history, all nations haven't fallen from attack from outside forces...but from forces within. And, just
as all nations have fallen before The Lord...you too, will fall like them, unless you repent of sin, and
accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour.
There Will Be No Less Days
Our lives on Earth are TEMPORARY...and upon The Moment Of Your Death,
you go either to Heaven Or Hell...
Your Eternal Destiny determined by whether or not you
accepted Jesus Christ as Your Lord and Saviour. And, once you have entered
either one of these places...no matter how many days, weeks, months, years, decades, centuries, or millenia go by...
there are NO LESS DAYS of your being in either the torment of The Lake Of Fire...or the peace, joy, and
blessedness of Heaven.
Salvations Roman Road
One of the most ''popular'' and ''easy'' ways to present the Plan Of Salvation is through ''The Roman Road''. This is
so named, as it takes verses primarily from the Epistle (Letter) to the Romans, written by the Apostle Paul, who The
Lord inspired to write much of the New Testament portion of the Bible. It basically notes that:
1) All have sinned, and fallen short of God's Glory.
2) There is none righteous on the Earth.
3) The wages of sin is death (physical and spiritual), but the Gift of God is Eternal Life through Jesus Christ.
4) God commanded His Love toward us, in that while were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
5) If you confess with your mouth The Lord Jesus, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead,
you will be saved.
6) Whoever calls upon The Name Of The Lord, in faith, will be saved.
7) The saved are justified through faith in Jesus Christ.
8) There is no condemnation to those in Christ Jesus.
9) Once saved, nothing in this life can separate us from The Love Of God.
Of all the roads you may travel in journey of life, a trip down Salvations Roman Road, and what you do with the signs
along the way, will determine Your Eternal Destiny at
The Moment Of Your Death.
For You, I've Never Known
Based on Matthew 7:23, at The Judgment Of The Great White Throne, when all of mankind who refused
God's Free Love Gift, they will hear the HORRIFYING words from Jesus
Christ Himself, ''Depart From Me, For You I've Never Known''...in response to their reply that ''But, Lord...we did all
these things in Your Name''. However, those who receive
God's Free Love Gift through
Salvations Roman Road, and
The Sinners Prayer, they will not be at this judgment, and won't hear
those words. Which group will you be in??
Perilous Times
Based On 2 Timothy 3:1-5, this tells how ''perilous times'' have seemingly existed since Lucifer's rebellion in Heaven,
and that continues to this day. In the final days before The Coming Of Christ to Earth, this tells how the
majority of mankind will behave. For those who accept
God's Free Love Gift...while they may not escape the perilous times on
Earth, they will escape them for Eternity.
They Would Not Repent
A companion to For You Would Not Allow It, this poem also tells why certain
people will be part of Those Not In God's Kingdom. Despite all the warnings
from The Lord of The Judgment that awaits all mankind, these would not
repent from their lives of sin. And, youll see that you're The One To Blame
When You Stand Before The Lord one day, if you're part of this group.
The Horror In Their Eyes
Throughout history, when God's enemies saw The Lord intervene...rendering their plans for naught...one could see the
horror in their eyes. Tragically, at death...it will be like that for all those rejected
God's Free Love Gift...when they see the never ending, tormenting fires of
Hell...and it'll be multiplied when they stand before The Lord at The Judgment Of The Great White Throne
...and when they realize they are about to be cast into The Lake Of Fire forever, where They Shall Be Tormented Day And Night.
These Three Are One
Based On 1 John 5:7 (which is removed or corrupted from most Bibles, except for the King James Version (1611)
(for details, click here)), there are Three that bear record in
Heaven...the Holy Trinity. God The Father, Jesus Christ The Son, and The Holy Spirit...and these Three are One. Jesus
Christ was both God...and Man...and only God Himself would be able to take upon Himself the sins of all the world, die
on an Old Rugged Cross, be raised from the dead the third day according to the Scriptures, and one day will return to
Earth to rule and reign. Sadly, many people today...and most Bibles, deny this fact. And, they will answer for this one
day, when they stand before The Lord.
I Worship Only Jesus Christ
Today, as in years past, mankind has worshipped ''everything under the sun''. These include statues, objects, idols,
money, etc., both on Earth, in the sky, etc. They ''pray'' to these objects, hoping for help, protection, etc. But, as I
Corinthians 10:20 notes, ''behind every idol is a demon''. Plus, the worship of these is idolatry, and as
I Corinthians 6:9-10 notes, ''no idolator shall enter Heaven''. And, God's Word also notes in Exodus 20:4-5,
''you shall NOT bow down to these images or serve them''. The ONLY ONE WORTHY OF WORSHIP and the PRAISE is
Jesus Christ, the King Of Kings And Lord Of Lords,
The Way, The Truth, The Life, and The ONLY Way To Heaven.
Your Eternal Destiny hinges on who and what you worship.
Given What Was Desired
The Lord purposely created a desire in our hearts to love and worship Him. But, when rebellion came...first with
Lucifier, the covering cherub...followed by a third of the angelic realm...then mankind...that desire turned into a
void of emptiness, that only God can fill. Mankind's arrogance toward The Lord grew exponentially...wanting to do
things his way instead of The Lord's way. So, God would give them what they desired...the consequences of their sin.
And, unless you accept God's Free Love Gift, God will give you what is
desired by your sin nature...eternal torment in The Lake Of Fire.
Behold, The Bridegroom Comes
Based on Matthew 25:6, the traditions of a Jewish Wedding also hold true in a spiritual sense, with The Church,
The Bride of Christ...and The Lord Jesus Christ, The Groom. He will come at an unexpected time, at any moment, to
Rapture His Bride to the Wedding. I have to confess that every time I
read this, that as one who has accepted God's Free Love Gift, because
The Lord, He Saved my life and soul...I GET EXCITED with
anticipation of the IMMINENT Rapture of The Church. The only ones invited to
this Special Wedding...and the Feast afterwards...will be those who have
accepted Jesus Christ as their Lord and Saviour. Will you be part of this
group, or will you be left behind, and locked out of the wedding feast??
The Mental Anguish Of The Lost
To the unsaved, the witness of God's Holy, Righteous Word ''causes them mental anguish''. Truthfully, it is the
conviction of The Holy Spirit, that their heart, mind, and life, are not right before The Lord. To obtain true peace,
they need to repent of their sin, and
accept Jesus Christ as their Lord and Saviour. However, the mental anguish
that they ''suffer'' in this life will pale in comparison to the mental anguish that they will suffer for all
Eternity, in The Home Of The Damned,
if they refuse God's Free Love Gift.
All Nations And All Peoples Judged One Day
Contrary to what the majority of the world's religions preach,
It's Appointed All To Die, and after this,
The Judgment. No matter what their background, race, or creed, everyone will
stand before The Lord Jesus Christ one day to be judged. What they did with
God's Free Love Gift will determine where they spend
Eternity.
Inclusive, Yet Exclusive
These two words truly tell what Christianity is about. While the world sees Christianity as ''intolerant'', The Lord
meant for the Gospel to be presented to EVERYONE...but, Sadly, Not All Will Repent.
Christianity is the ONLY faith, where its founder died for it...as well as for all Creation...to cleanse it from the curse of sin.
To those who accept Jesus Christ as their Lord and Saviour, they will be
part of the exclusive group that will, at The Moment Of Their Death, or at
the Rapture Of The Church, enter the joy of Heaven, The Home Of The Redeemed, for
Eternity. Those refusing to be part of this group will instead spend
Eternity in The Home Of The Damned,
where They Shall Be Tormented Day And Night.
Intevention By The Lord
The Lord does not sit idly by, and let things happen, out of control. The Creator of the Universe, the Heavens, and The
Earth, has set everything into motion to accomplish His Divine Plan and Will...and nothing escapes His Glance. When He
has had to, numerous times through history, He has intervened in His Creation...to protect His People...to come and die
for all mankind in the Person of His Son, Jesus Christ, to pay for mankind's sin...to raise Christ from the dead...to
Rapture His Bride, The Church...to bring judgment, to return to Earth, and
With A Rod Of Iron, Christ Will Rule
the nations. The Lord Did All He Could To Save Your Soul, and
He has done all He could do to bring to your attention your need to repent of sin, and
accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour...the decision is now yours to
make.
The Groaning Of Creation
Based on Romans 8:22, when The Lord cursed Creation because of Adam and Eve eating the forbidden fruit in the Garden Of
Eden, Creations Paradise was quickly overrun...first by thorns, thistles, weeds, etc. -- and then by nature...with
earthquakes, fires, floods, tornadoes, tidal waves, hurricanes, drought, intense heat, snow, blizzards, bitter cold,
eclipses, and so much more...all because of the curse of sin. And, as Creation groans and travails, those who refuse
God's Free Love Gift will groan and travail for all
Eternity, as They Shall Be Tormented Day And Night.
But, as Creation will be restored at The Coming Of Christ, you can have your spiritual life restored as well, by
repenting of your sin, and accepting Jesus Christ as Your Lord and Saviour.
The Glory Is Departed From The Land
Based on 1 Samuel 4:21-22, when the people of a nation continually refuse to hearken to The Lord and His Righteousness...
effectively telling God ''they don't want Him around''...The Lord will one day oblige them...and they will be
Given What Was Desired. Then, God's Glory...along with
God's Protection will be REMOVED from that nation...making it ripe
for The Judgment. And, if
Judgment Must Begin in the House Of God, where does that leave those who
have rejected Him?? Don't let God's Glory depart from you, as it has from most nations on the Earth. Repent of your sin,
and by faith, accept Jesus Christ as Your Lord and Saviour TODAY,
as Tomorrow Is Promised To No One. Because
If You Wait Until It's Too Late...at
The Moment Of Your Death, it will be TOO LATE to change your
mind, and Your Eternal Destiny.
The Selling Of Ones Soul
Throughout history, Satan has used his lies of cunning and deceitfulness to ''give people whatever they want''...money,
fame, glory, etc. -- all in exchange for the cost of selling their soul to him for all
Eternity. Tragically, because of the sin of our first parents, Adam and Eve,
in the Garden Of Eden...WE ALREADY BELONG TO SATAN, because of the inherited sin nature. So, in reality, any
Deals With The Devil Are All Fake...you do NOT need one of these to go to The Lake Of
Fire, and burn in torment for all Eternity, with Satan, his demonic hordes,
The Counterfeit Prince Of Peace (the Antichrist), The False Prophet, and all
the unregenerate, vile, evil men and women that have ever lived. If you refuse
God's Free Love Gift, you will be paying the cost of selling your soul for
all Eternity...with no hope of ever escaping
The Home Of The Damned.
God's Judgment There When Least Expected
Despite warnings from God's People throughout history, the majority of mankind ignored them...and when it was least
expected, God's Judgments fell. The locations ranged from the Garden Of Eden, when our first parents sinned...to the
Flood Of Noah (which covered all of planet Earth)...to the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah...to the ten Divine Plagues
sent against Pharoah and Egypt through Moses...to the many times through Israel's history...to Christ's Death and
Resurrection...to the Rapture Of The Church...to the destruction of the armies
invading Israel (both before, and at Christ's Return)...and to The Judgment
awaiting at The Moment Of Your Death. God's Ways are NOT our ways...
and no one can know for sure the day and the hour these judgments will fall. But, as with those in times past...the ones
yet to be fulfilled, will fall when least expected...and not a moment before The Lord has decreed that they occur. Don't
let these judgments catch you by surprise...repent of your sin, and
accept God's Free Love Gift...as
There Is No Second Chance after
The Moment Of Your Death to
Make That Decision For Christ.
The Sinful Soul Will Not Prevail
Many times through history, it seems evil has the upper hand. But, one day,
Justice Will Be Done, and it will be shown that the sinful soul will
not prevail against The Lord Jesus Christ. Don't let Satan fool you into thinking you can win...because he
himself knows that at the end, he will be cast into The Lake Of Fire, to be tormented for all
Eternity...with
The Counterfeit Prince Of Peace, the False Prophet, and everyone else who
rejected God's Free Love Gift.
Everlasting Punishment, Or Life Eternal, There
Based on Matthew 25:46, at The Moment Of Your Death, you'll either enter
everlasting punishment in The Lake Of Fire...or everlasting joy in Heaven. It won't be purgatory, soul sleep, or
something else. What you did with God's Free Love Gift determines what you
will receive. And, If You Wait Until It's Too Late, you won't have a chance
to change your mind. Plus, There Are No Less Days in either the everlasting
punishment...or the everlasting joy.
No One Gets Off Scot Free
A companion poem to A Life On Trial, no one gets off ''scot free'' before
The Lord. Your Life Is Being Recorded, and everything will be played back
at The Judgment before Jesus Christ.
For All Have Sinned, and
God's Standard Is Perfection.
When You Stand Before The Lord...whether or not you have accepted
God's Free Love Gift, you will give an account for everything you've thought,
said, or done. While the saved will lose rewards at The Bema Judgment Seat Of Christ...the unsaved will lose far more at
The Judgment Of The Great White Throne. What you do with Jesus Christ will determine which of these judgments you will be present
at.
Vengeance Is The Lord's
Based On Romans 12:19, many people have felt they have been ''done wrong and dirty'' by others they have known in life.
While man's sinful nature cries for revenge, the redeemed know that The Lord sees everything...whether in thought, word,
or deed. And one day, Justice Will Be Done, when everyone stands before The
Lord to give an account for their life. Vengeance belongs to The Lord...and to all those who have seemingly ''gotten the
upper hand by evil deeds''...and for all those who have rejected
God's Free Love Gift, He will repay them in kind.
No One Will Defend The Lost
Unlike in a modern day court of law, where the accused usually have a Defense Attorney...for those who refused
God's Free Love Gift...no one will be there to defend them against the
wrath of The Lord at The Judgment Of The Great White Throne. For whatever reason, these chose to come to God by the basis of
their own righteousness...but God's Standard Is Perfection, and no one
can pay it. Instead of being A Friend For Life...and for all
Eternity...Jesus Christ is The Worst Nightmare There Faced.
Every unrepentant soul there is cast into The Lake Of Fire, with Satan, and his demonic hordes...to be tormented
forever. There are only two Choices you can make for
Eternity...Heaven Or Hell. If
you do ''nothing''...The Home Of The Damned will be yours upon
The Moment Of Your Death.
All Scripture Given By The Lord
Based on 2 Timothy 3:16, every bit of God's Holy Word is Divinely Inspired...Perfect, and Without Error...in
The Books Of The Bible, from Genesis through Revelation. It is profitable
for doctrine, reproof, correction, and instruction in righteousness. The King James Version (1611) is the only
one that The Lord has Divinely Protected from tampering by Satan's evil hordes (for details,
click here). Tragically, those who are guilty of
The Changing Of God's Word, or even rejecting it...will suffer eternal
torment in The Home Of The Damned...the same place for everyone who
rejected God's Free Love Gift.
Just One Thing Will Save Your Soul
No matter what you've heard, only one thing will save your soul from The Lake Of Fire.
God's Standard Is Perfection,
For All Have Sinned, and all
Your Righteousness As Filthy Rags. That being said, the one thing that
describes God's Free Love Gift is that it's
Grace Through Faith, And Not Of Works, by which you obtain salvation in
Jesus Christ. While faith without works is dead, your works alone will NOT save your soul from
The Home Of The Damned.
Resurrections Coming Soon
Based on John 5:28-29, you should not be surprised at the fact that one day soon, all those that are in the graves will
hear The Lord's Voice, and all will be resurrected. Those who have done good...accepting
God's Free Love Gift...to the resurrection of life...and to those who refuse
it...to the resurrection of damnation. What you do with God's Free Love Gift
determines which resurrection you will be at.
Thy Word Is Settled In Heaven
Based on Psalm 119:89, God's Word is settled in Heaven...and what He has promised that would happen...WILL...no
matter what mankind says, believes, or thinks. The Lord Is In Control, of
all things...and Your Eternal Destiny depends on what you do with
God's Free Love Gift.
To Those Left Behind On Earth
A companion poem to Tragedy At Rapture, and
Where Did They All Go?, this poem is for what to expect for those who miss
the Rapture. The Time Of Jacob's Trouble
will be a time of tribulation never seen on Earth...or will ever be again...and will in fact, be the last seven years of human history before
The Coming Of Christ to Earth, and
With A Rod Of Iron, Christ Will Rule the nations, during the Millenium Of Peace.
Those left behind after the Rapture can still
accept God's Free Love Gift...but they likely will be hunted down, captured,
tortured, and killed (likely beheaded) for their faith.
Eagerly, Or Compelled
One Day, On Bended Knee, all will bow before Jesus Christ, the
King Of Kings, And Lord Of Lords, at
The Judgment. All those who accepted
God's Free Love Gift will EAGERLY rush to bow before The Lord in
Praise, as they'll be with Him forever in Heaven. Those who rejected Jesus Christ will be COMPELLED by the Truth
Of God's Word to bow before The Lord. Tragically, for the latter, it'll be too late to escape their eternal sentence to
The Home Of The Damned.
The Curse Of Sin On Planet Earth
When Adam and Eve rebelled in The Garden Of Eden, the Lord pronounced a curse on all creation. That curse led to thorns
and thistles in the ground, plagues, pestilences, earthquakes, bizarre weather patterns, and especially a sin nature to
all humans who would ever be born. But, in the fullness of time, God's Only Begotten Son, The Lord Jesus Christ, the
King Of Kings, And Lord Of Lords, left Heaven's Glory to come to Earth,
to be born of a Virgin, to live and walk like all of us, except without any tinge of sin or guile. He chose to die on
an Old Rugged Cross to redeem us...and ultimately, Creation...from this curse. The victory was gained by His
Resurrection...and it will be realized When Christ Returns To Planet Earth.
Whether or not you are freed from this curse Eternally, depends on whether
you accept, or reject God's Free Love Gift.
Closer By The Second
Through Eternity, The Lord has ordained a moment for everything to occur.
Nothing happens that does not escape his glance. And, with each passing moment, each instance on God's Divine Timetable
is closer by the second...including The Moment Of Your Death, the
Rapture Of The Church, and the moment
When Christ Returns To Planet Earth. Only The Lord knows the exact moment
when these occur, and if you choose to take The Gamble with your eternal
soul, you will regret it Eternally...as
Tomorrow Is Promised To No One, and
Your Eternal Destiny is determined by what you do with
God's Free Love Gift.
Absolutely Not
Many people have taken both man's laws, and God's Laws into their hands, in dealing with those who won't convert to
their faith. They murder people involved in acts of sin, and threaten with torture and death, those who won't recant
their present faith, to go to ''the religion'' of their captors. They even will go so far as to ''force a Bible down
the throat of the unsaved''. While The One Thing God Requires is for
mankind to ''believe on the One He Has Sent''...for us to repent of sin, and
accept Jesus Christ as our Lord and Saviour...God did NOT make us as
robots...and He has given everyone the freedom to accept, or reject it. In short:
1) Should we take God's Laws into our own hands??
2) Should we murder those who are clearly involved in sin, such as abortion, homosexuality, etc., or encourage
others to do such??
3) Should we force a Bible down the throats of the unsaved??
4) Should we not pray and witness to the lost, and let them burn in The Lake Of Fire??
5) Should we ignore making a decision for Jesus Christ??
The answer to all of these questions is ABSOLUTELY NOT!!...as
Vengeance Is The Lord's.
The Battle Is The Lord's
Based on 2 Chronicles 20:15, when God's people have faced adversity that they could not overcome, when they called on
The Lord in prayer and by faith, He stepped in, and won that battle for them. But, the most important battle you will
face is for your eternal soul...and it was waged on The Old Rugged Cross of Calvary. The thing is, while The Lord won
that battle with His Life, Death, and Resurrection, you can not obtain the victory laurels, unless you
accept God's Free Love Gift.
The Rebels Won't Accept The Truth
Those who are united in rebellion against The Ways Of The Lord will tragically not accept The Truth that is in God's
Holy Word...concerning their fate before The Lord. The Preaching Of The Cross
is foolishness to these...but whether they want to admit, believe, or accept it or not...no one will escape
The Judgment before The Lord Jesus Christ. What everyone does with
God's Free Love Gift determines where they spend
Eternity.
Decision Not Required To Go To Hell
Many people think they have to make a decision to go to The Home Of The Damned...
first Hell...then The Lake Of Fire. Truth be told, no decision is required to go to Hell...but a decision IS REQUIRED
to go to Heaven...in what you do with God's Free Love Gift.
Eternal Torment, Not A Joke
Many people think that the concept of eternal torment in Hell, and The Lake Of Fire is just a joke. Tragically, that is
what Satan and his demonic hordes WANT you to believe...that no such places exist. But, it must be fairly stated
that Hell Was Meant For Satan, and his demonic hordes...and NOT for
mankind. However, God's Righteousness decrees that ''the soul that sins shall die''...and while His Only Begotten Son,
The Lord Jesus Christ, died on the Rugged Cross of Calvary to pay for every sin that would be committed...if you have
The One Sin Unforgiven on your record...the sin of refusing to accept
God's Free Love Gift, you will experience this eternal torment in
The Home Of The Damned, starting with
The Moment Of Your Death.
As Lightning Comes From East To West
Based on Matthew 24:27, as lightning strikes quickly...with little warning...so will the
Rapture Of The Church, and
The Coming Of Christ be. Although the warning of both the
Rapture Of The Church, and
The Coming Of Christ are mentioned in
The Books Of The Bible...when they occur at their appointed times, it'll be too late to
join in the Rapture Of The Church...or to bow at the Feet of The
King Of Kings And Lord Of Lords, at
The Coming Of Christ, and call Him Lord. As Jesus Christ warned, ''you
need to be ready...for at such an hour as you are not expecting it, The Son Of Man comes''. And, if you have not
repented of your sin, and accepted God's Free Love Gift...you'll either
be left behind at the Rapture Of The Church...or not be allowed to enter
the Millenial Kingdom at The Coming Of Christ.
Your Eternal Destiny depends on your decision.
At Least One Chance Is Given There
Everyone who has ever lived will get at least one chance to hear the Gospel News...that Jesus Christ, God's Only Begotten
Son, left the Glory Of Heaven to come to Earth, to be born of a Virgin...to live and walk among us in all ways, except
without sin...to die on an Old Rugged Cross for every sin that everyone would ever do...to rise again on The Third Day,
according to the Scriptures...is coming back to Rapture His Church, and to return
to Earth one day to rule and reign in Power and Glory. All creation declares His Glory, and once reading this, or any other
poem in this Gospel Poetry Collection, you will NOT be able to stand
before Jesus Christ on Judgment Day, and say that ''you never heard the Gospel''. As noted so many times in these
poems that The Lord has so graciously given me, Your Eternal Destiny
depends on whether or not you accept God's Free Love Gift.
Even So, Lord Jesus, Come
Based on Revelation 22:20, these are the words that are the prayer of every person who has repented of their sin, and
accepted Jesus Christ as Their Lord and Saviour, throughout history.
Quickly Coming Is The Lord, and one day, He will answer that prayer,
asking Him to Return...first at the Rapture Of The Church...and second, at
The Coming Of Christ to Earth to rule and reign as
King Of Kings, And Lord Of Lords. Tragically, those who have not yet
received God's Free Love Gift...and for those who died in their sins, that
are now in The Home Of The Damned...they are terrified of these words, as
they know after The Judgment Of The Great White Throne, they will be cast into The Lake Of Fire,
and They Shall Be Tormented Day And Night, with Satan, his demonic hordes, and every other unregenerate
person who has ever lived. What you do with Jesus Christ, determines Your Eternal Destiny...and whether or
not you say these words with anticipation and expectation...or with fear and dread.
A Judgment Far Worse Coming There
While there were numerous judgments by The Lord in the past...far worse judgments are coming soon for the Earth. If
those who were judged with destruction by The Lord in years gone by, could see the abundance of sin and iniquity that
is in the world today (such as with Sodom And Gomorrah), they likely would cry ''And we were destroyed for what we did??!!''. While The Lord is patient
and long suffering, His Righteous Nature demands that one day, He will judge all Creation, because of
The Curse Of Sin On Planet Earth...and the life of every person who has ever lived. No One Gets Off Scot Free,
and everyone will face The Lord to give an account for their lives. While Jesus Christ took upon Himself every sin that
would ever be committed by mankind...dying in our place on an Old Rugged Cross...and then resurrected on The Third Day,
according to the Scriptures...those who reject God's Free Love Gift will fare far worse than those who accept it.
Naked And Alone
Just like a newborn baby that is naked, alone, crying, and moaning...those rejecting
God's Free Love Gift...will experience the same thing...first at
The Moment Of Their Death...then at The Judgment Of The Great White Throne,
before Jesus Christ casts them into The Lake Of Fire, where They Shall Be Tormented Day And Night.
You can avoid this situation...horrifying and embarassing...by repenting of your sins, and accepting God's Free Love Gift.
A Debt You Can Not Pay
Unlike credit cards...where you can be financially bankrupt; the true cost of your sin...where you are spiritually bankrupt...is one debt that you can NOT pay.
Christ Alone, in the Precious
Blood that He shed for all mankind on The Old Rugged Cross of Calvary...is sufficient to pay the cost. If you try to
pay for it any other way...Your Righteousness As Filthy Rags...and if you
have The One Sin Unforgiven on your record
When You Stand Before The Lord one day...He will have no choice, but to
cast you into The Lake Of Fire, with Satan, his demonic hordes, and everyone else throughout history, who rejected
God's Free Love Gift.
The Old Things Are Passed Away
Based on 2 Corinthians 5:17, ''if anyone is in Christ, they are a new creature. Old things are passed away, and all
things are become new''. The statement holds true in both the physical, and the spiritual realm. Physically, when one
dies, the old things of this life are passed away...and all things are new...in that either
Heaven Or Hell will be their new home for all
Eternity. Spiritually, when a person truly repents of sin, and by faith,
accepts Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour, their old life of sin has
passed away, and they now have a new desire to serve The Lord in all that they do...and there is no condemnation to
those in Christ Jesus. While we still have our old sin nature in this corruptible flesh, our desire should be to
serve The Lord, forsaking all sinful, fleshly desires. Tragically, there are those who are just
Going Through The Motions in regards to their ''faith''.
It'll Be A Shock One Day, when they find out too late that they'll be
part of Those Not In God's Kingdom, in that they were never ''saved''...
never repenting of their sin, or receiving God's Free Love Gift. And one
day soon, when God creates The New Heavens, The New Earth, and The New Jerusalem, as
Sin Won't Rise A Second Time...truly, the title of this poem will come to
pass.
Your Spiritual Father
Like it or not, unless you have repented of your sin, and accepted Jesus Christ as Your Lord and Saviour...your Spiritual Father is
NOT The Lord...but Satan, the father of lies. Who you are serving determines where you will go at
The Moment Of Your Death.
They Tragically Turned Their Backs On The Lord
Unfortunately, throughout history, so many people who originally came to The Lord in faith and followed Him, have
turned away from the faith...essentially turning their backs on Him.
When You Stand Before The Lord one day, you'll either be thrilled to
see Him...or you'll be terrified...discovering that you're part of
Those Not In God's Kingdom.
Seven Then One Thousand
First, starting with the Rapture Of The Church, the last seven years of
human history, with mortal man ruling, will commence...as
The Counterfeit Prince Of Peace starts his unprecedented reign of terror
on the Earth...which is also the Seals, Bowls, And Trumpets of God's
Wrath upon a Christ rejecting world. At the end of this seven year tribulation,
When Christ Returns To Planet Earth, He will destroy all of His Enemies,
and set up His Millenium Of Peace, righteousness, and equity. If you repent of your
sins, and accept Jesus Christ as Your Lord and Saviour, prior to the
Rapture Of The Church, you'll miss going through the seven years
of tribulation on the Earth...but you'll get to rule and reign with Jesus Christ during the one thousand years of
peace that will follow His Return. However, if you miss the Rapture, you
will experience the seven year period of tribulation, one like the world has never seen before...or will ever see
again. Those who accept God's Free Love Gift during the tribulation, will
most likely be martyred for their faith...death by beheading. However, these who give their lives for The Lord, will
join the saved who do survive...and enter the Millenium Of Peace
Tragically, those who miss the Rapture, and who instead of accepting Christ...take the
Mark Of The Beast instead...they will NOT be allowed to enter
Christ's Millenial Kingdom. Instead, these will spend eternity in The Lake Of Fire, with Satan, his demonic hordes, and
everyone else who rejected God's Free Love Gift...and
They Shall Be Tormented Day And Night. Which of these two time periods you will have a part in depends on what you do with
God's Free Love Gift.
Business As Usual Will End
The term ''business as usual'', refers to the ''status quo''...that the situations in life as we know it, will never
change. But, as noted numerous times throughout history...one day, this ''business as usual'' will come to an end...as
Intervention By The Lord once again, occurs. And, at
The Moment Of Your Death, the ''business as usual'' of your life will
end...as will as the chance for you to receive God's Free Love Gift.
You'll Hate Yourself Forever
Upon The Moment Of Your Death, you'll realize that...tragically, it's too
late for you to accept God's Free Love Gift...if you never made that decision
while on Earth. You'll hate that you chose to believe Satan's lies, instead of
The Gospel In A Nutshell...that God so loved the world, that He gave His
Only Son, The Lord Jesus Christ...that whoever would believe on Him, would not die in their sins, but have everlasting
life in Heaven. You'll hate that you don't have another chance to accept
God's Free Love Gift, and hate that instead of the bliss of Heaven,
The Home Of The Damned is now yours forever.
Heaven Is Not Owed To You
No matter what you've heard, Heaven is NOT owed to you upon
The Moment Of Your Death...but
The Home Of The Damned, is.
God's Standard Is Perfection, and the price of your sin is
A Debt You Can Not Pay. The only way you can enter Heaven is to repent
of your sin, and accept God's Free Love Gift...and truly mean it...not just
Going Through The Motions.
The Home Of The Redeemed
Unlike The Home Of The Damned, The Home Of The Redeemed will be a place
where there will be Nothing That Defiles...only joy, happiness, and
eternal fellowship with Jesus Christ, the King Of Kings, And Lord Of Lords,
as well as with everyone else who repented of their sin, and
accepted Jesus Christ as their Lord and Saviour. Note that
Heaven Is Not Owed To You upon
The Moment Of Your Death...so, unless you make the decision to
Receive God's Free Love Gift, you will not be allowed to enter this
wonderful place, that The Lord has prepared for those who love Him.
God's Promises Are Kept
From eternity past, to the present day, and yet to be fulfilled...every promise that The Lord has made, He will
keep. The most critical promise is that if you reject God's Free Love Gift,
you will spend eternity in The Home Of The Damned. However, for
those who repent of their sin, and accept God's Free Love Gift, you will
spend eternity in The Home Of The Redeemed...the choice is yours.
After Death, Belief Too Late
Everyone is a believer on Jesus Christ after The Moment Of Their Death.
Unfortunately, for those in The Home Of The Damned, it is
too late for them to gain access to The Home Of The Redeemed.
Your Eternal Destiny will be either
Heaven Or Hell...depending on what you do
with God's Free Love Gift.
Our Passover And Mediator
Based On 1 Corinthians 5:7 and 1 Timothy 2:5, Christ Alone is
both our ''Passover'', and our ''Mediator''. When we repent (turn from) our sin, and
accept Jesus Christ as our Lord and Saviour, The Blood that He
shed for all mankind on the Cross of Calvary, as the Spotless Lamb Of God...it has the same effect as
the blood from the spotless lamb that was spread on the doorpost to avoid the tenth and final plague that
God sent over the land of Egypt. God's Judgment ''passed over'' those covered by The Blood. God's Word
says that ''Without The Shedding Of Blood, There Is No Remission (Payment) For Sin''.
And, while The Grace Of God is a
License To Serve, Not License To Sin...when His
Children do transgress because of The Curse Of Sin On Planet Earth,
The Lord intercedes for us...the One Mediator between God and Man. Even Our Lord's Earthly Mother, the Virgin Mary,
made a sin offering of turtledoves...she knew that her first born son, The Lord Jesus Christ, would also be her Saviour.
She sang ''My Soul Does Magnify The Lord...And My Spirit Has Rejoiced In God My Saviour''. If Mary was sinless...
as some believe...WHY did she say that she needed a Saviour?? I John 1:10 says ''If we say we have no sin, we
make God a liar, and His Word is not in us''. That deed...of saying you or someone else has no sin (except for
Christ Alone) ...basically puts you on the same par with Satan...the father
of lies...who called God a liar from the outset...when he, the one time covering cherub, led one third of the angelic
realm, to rebel against God in Heaven. Satan, all his demonic hordes, and everyone who has ever lived on Earth, who
choose to reject God's Free Love Gift, will spend eternity in
The Home Of The Damned.
First By Water...Then By Fire
Water and Fire are used many times in The Books Of The Bible...as both means
of judgment, and of baptism. The first time God destroyed the world, it was by Water...the second time, it will be by Fire.
After Pharoah's army was destroyed in the Waters of the Red Sea...The Lord was with His People as a Pillar Of Fire. When
Elijah and the prophets of Baal did battle on Mount Carmel, The Lord sent down Fire from Heaven, and it burned up all the
the altars that were built, and the water that surrounded them. When John The Baptist saw The Lord, He said that ''I baptize
you with Water...but One greater than me will baptize you with The Holy Spirit and Fire''.
In the story...not a parable...of the rich man and the beggar...both of them died. Tragically, the
rich man was now in Torments...and he called for cooling drops of water to ease the tormenting flame.
But Abraham...joined by the beggar in Paradise...told the rich man that ''his torment would never end''.
Water baptism won't save your soul, but it is a testimony that you have repented of your sin, and
asked Jesus Christ to be your Lord and Saviour. Those who truly
repent and believe...not Going Through The Motions...will not only
have their sins washed away by The Blood Of Jesus...something that water can NOT do...but they won't have to
pay the cost of their sins in The Lake Of Fire, The Home Of The Damned.
Where Will You Spend Eternity, Friend??
This question is one that MUST be answered by every person who has ever lived on Earth. Contrary to what you
may have heard or believe...only Heaven Or Hell...The Home Of The Redeemed,
or The Home Of The Damned are the available Choices.
Your choice on whether you accept or reject God's Free Love Gift, determines where you will
go upon The Moment Of Your Death.
No Respecter Of Persons
Based On Acts 10:34 and Romans 2:11, God is no respecter of persons. No matter whether you were born into wealth in royalty...dirt poor...or
somewhere in between...everyone must make the choice on whether to accept or reject God's Free Love Gift.
The Believing Remnant
Based On Romans 11:5, tragically, most of mankind will reject God's Free Love Gift.
However, God has always had a ''believing remnant'' that He has preserved with each generation. Will you be part of this group??
The Point Of No Return
Many times in life, once you've passed a certain point in a decision that you made, there is ''no turning back''...you've reached the
point of no return. And, at The Moment Of Your Death, you will have reached this point when
it comes to accepting or rejecting God's Free Love Gift.
Will You Praise Christ, Or Curse Yourself That Day??
The title of this poem is a pointed question to every soul that has ever lived upon this Earth. Which one of these you do
When You Stand Before The Lord will be determined on what you did with
God's Free Love Gift, while you were on Earth.
The Alpha And Omega
Based On Revelation 1:8, 1:11, 21:6, and 22:13, this poem tells of the many attributes of Jesus Christ...Creator, and King Of Kings, And Lord Of Lords,
He knew all things from eternity past...and He knows all things both at this very moment...and in eternity future. He knows you better than you know
yourself...your motives, words, thoughts, and deeds...nothing escapes His Glance. And, When You Stand Before The Lord, to
give an account of your life, Will You Praise Christ, Or Curse Yourself That Day??...on what you did with
God's Free Love Gift.
Every Eye Shall See The Lord One Day
Based on Revelation 1:7, When Christ Returns To Planet Earth, every eye shall see Him...no matter where they are on
the planet...no matter whether they have accepted or rejected God's Free Love Gift. At that point, when He comes as the
King Of Kings, And Lord Of Lords...it will be TOO LATE to fall at His Feet, and call Him Lord. So, in advance of
The Coming Of Christ, if someone tells you that ''Christ Is Here''...do NOT believe it. When He does return to judge
the world, you won't need satellite, television, or anything else to see Him...as everyone will know instantly that Christ has returned. And, what you did with
God's Free Love Gift will determine Your Eternal Destiny.
Blessed Is The Nation Whose God Is The Lord
Based on Psalm 33:12, the nations who serve and honor The Lord will be blessed by Him...and those who are against Him, will see those
blessings removed. But, All Nations And All Peoples Judged One Day...and the nations are as
a drop of water in a bucket...as dust in the balance. Both nations, and individuals will face The Lord at
The Judgment...on how they treated His People, and whether or not they
accepted God's Free Love Gift.
The Worst Nightmare There Faced
Many times in life, one has bizarre, scary, and terrifying nightmarish dreams...where they wake up screaming in fear. However, for those who
refuse God's Free Love Gift...Jesus Christ, for these will NOT be
A Friend For Life...but the most terrifying person they will ever meet at
The Judgment.
The Way, The Truth, The Life
Based on John 14:6, Christ Alone, the King Of Kings And Lord Of Lords,
is The ONLY Way To Heaven. Unless you accept God's Free Love Gift...upon
The Moment Of Your Death, you'll go to
The Home Of The Damned...instead of
The Home Of The Redeemed. And, instead of Jesus Christ being
A Friend For Life...He'll be The Worst Nightmare There Faced.
The Folded Napkin
Based on John 20:7, the folded napkin left in Christ's Grave with His Burial Clothes after His
Resurrection, has an interesting similarity with meal customs of that day. The servant would prepare
the meal for his master. Then, while his master ate, the servant would wait just ouside the room. If
the master crumpled up his dirty napkin before he left the table...that signal would tell the servant
that his master was done, and he would not return...so the servant could clean things up. But, if
the napkin was neatly folded, that indicated that the master would be returning. With the folded napkin
left there with Christ's Burial Clothes, it meant that He would be coming back again!! There will be
Two Feasts Of The Future...one The Marriage Supper Of The
Lamb...possibly combined with the Millenial Banquet after When Christ Returns To Planet Earth
...and the other where all the vultures and birds of the air dine on the bloody carnage of the armies who tried to
destroy Christ at His Second Coming. Which of these feasts you will attend when The Master Comes Back,
is determined by what you do with God's Free Love Gift.
The Lord, He Did Command His Love To All
Based On Romans 5:8, The Lord Commanded His Love toward all mankind...in that while we still sinners...
His Enemies...He left the Glory Of Heaven...to come to Earth to be born of a Virgin...to live, and walk
among us in all ways...EXCEPT WITHOUT SIN...then was scourged and then crucified on an Old Rugged
Cross for every sin everyone would ever commit...then rose again The Third Day, according to
the Scriptures, and one day, is coming back to rule and reign in power and glory. The Lord did not
have to do what He did...but even if was JUST FOR YOU ALONE, He still would have done it.
Will you reciprocate This Great Love, by repenting of your sin, and
accepting God's Free Love Gift?? If not, you'll see that you're
The One To Blame for all eternity.
You Can't Take The Fifth Before The Lord
One of the items in the U.S. Constitution, in the Bill Of Rights, is the Fifth Ammendment...in which those
on trial can use to protect against self incrimination from their testimony. However,
When You Stand Before The Lord, with
A Life On Trial, you WON'T be able to ''take the Fifth''
in your defense. Your Life Is Being Recorded, and
You'll Answer Only For Yourself, for your life, and what you did
with God's Free Love Gift.
The Doom Of Satan's Lie
Once the covering cherub who guarded The Throne Of God...Lucifer inflated with pride, deceiving one third of the
angelic realm to join him in rebellion against God. They were promptly cast out of Heaven for all eternity, and
The Lord created The Home Of The Damned for all of them. Lucifer's
name was changed to Satan...and his fallen angels were changed into demons. Since that time, they have spread lies against
the Righteousness Of The Lord...deceiving our first parents, and bringing
The Curse Of Sin On Planet Earth. It would be
Christ Alone, the Second Person in The Godhead...truly, the
God-Man...who would take upon Himself His Righteous Wrath meant for all mankind...and die on an Old Rugged Cross to pay for every
sin that would ever be committed...and achieving the victory when He rose again the Third Day,
according to The Scriptures. Even though Satan and his demonic hordes were defeated when Christ rose from the dead...
because Without The Resurrection, It's Just Not The Same...but,
Like A Roaring Lion, Satan and his evil throngs continue to work
feverishly, to continue to deceive millions into believing the doom of his lies. Tragically, most will believe these
lies, and find out too late the folly of rejecting God's Free Love Gift.
Those who do will be Without Excuse on Judgment Day.
Don't Crucify The Lord Again
Based on Hebrews 6:6, The Lord Did All He Could To Save Your Soul.
But, in spite of Christ crying ''It Is Finished!!'' when He died for all mankind on that Rugged Cross...meaning that
no further sacrifice for sin was needed, many people ''crucify The Lord again, putting Him to shame''.
This can be of those rejecting God's Free Love Gift...to those not believing
that The Grace Of God is a
License To Serve; Not License To Sin...or to those who believe that
Christ's Death was not enough to pay for all our sins...that His Sacrifice is ''ongoing''...with
the elements of The Lord's Supper (the bread and the wine) being literal, and not symbolic. If there is anyone who needs
to be crucified, it should be every one who has repented of their sin, and by faith, accepted
God's Free Love Gift...in crucifying their old sin nature DAILY...
bringing every thought, word, and deed, captive unto the obedience of Christ. According to I John 1:10, ''if we say we have
no sin, we make God a liar, and His Word is NOT in us''. To me, the idea of eating
human flesh, in cannibalistic fashion, is revolting...humans are NOT vultures!! And, for that matter, WHY should Christ go through all
that shame and suffering again?? If you are one of those who ''crucify The Lord again'', instead of accepting that His Sacrifice
was COMPLETE...just Going Through The Motions, you will be
in for a RUDE AWAKENING at The Moment Of Your Death,
When You Stand Before The Lord, and you hear the terrifying words
''For You, I've Never Known''. The Life, Death, and Resurrection of
Christ Alone is ENOUGH to take care of
A Debt You Can Not Pay...the eternal cost of sin...both mine and yours.
As the Apostle Paul was inspired to write, ''I glory in The Cross Of Christ'', as
FULL AND COMPLETE PAYMENT for my sin...because both my righteousness, and Your Righteousness As Filthy Rags
before The Lord.
This Kingdom Will Not End
Based on Isaiah 9:7, Christ's Millenium Of Peace will be just the start of His Kingdom of
Righteousness, Truth, Purity, amd Equity, for all Eternity. Unlike the numerous kingdoms before it...which were run by sinful men and
women, Christ's Kingdom will NEVER end. Life will be similar to what it was in the home of our first parents...
Adam and Eve...in The Garden Of Eden. The blind will see, the deaf will hear, the mute will speak, the lame will walk,
The Curse Of Sin On Planet Earth will be removed, the animals will peacefully
co-exist with mankind and each other, no one will say ''I am sick''...and many other blessings that The Lord will pour out
on His Creation after He returns to Earth. The thing is, only those who have repented of their sin, and by faith, accepted
God's Free Love Gift will be allowed entry into this Kingdom. Will you be part
of this group, or will you be denied entry, because you either refused God's Free Love Gift,
or you were just Going Through The Motions??
Those Too Blind To See
In spite of evidence throughout all of Creation...throughout history, there are still those who, for whatever reason,
choose to ignore the obvious...in effect, they are ''too blind to see''. The Glory of The Lord, His Power, Righteousness,
Majesty, Truth, Wisdom, and especially His Free Love Gift is so clearly seen
in His Precious Word. Please don't be one of those who chooses to be ''spiritually blind'' for all Eternity
The Great Physician, Christ Alone is the ONLY one who
can cure this condition. However, if you choose to ignore this ''Divine Prescription'' of repenting of your sin, and
receiving God's Free Love Gift, spending Eternity
in The Home Of The Damned will burn far worse than any stinging eye drop, or
other trial in life that you have ever experienced.
Who Is Seated Upon Your Lifes Throne??
Everyone has a ''throne'' in their life...and only two choices exist for occupying it. It is either yourself, with Satan, and all your selfish,
sinful pride...or Christ Alone, the King Of Kings, And Lord Of Lords.
Who is on that throne at The Moment Of Your Death...on what you did with
God's Free Love Gift determines Your Eternal Destiny.
God's Word Is Final Authority
Whether you want to accept it, believe it, or not...God's Word is FINAL AUTHORITY on everything...from Creation, to your life...and,
The Changing Of God's Word is NOT an option...and
When You Stand Before The Lord at The Judgment,
God's Words Live Forever, Friend. What you do with His Word, and His
Free Love Gift determines Your Eternal Destiny.
One Appointment You Will Keep
Throughout life, every day has a new set of tasks, appointments, etc. that you have to take care of. And, some days, you
likely end up missing some appointments because of other tasks or circumstances. But, upon
The Momemnt Of Your Death, there is one appointment that you WILL keep...
When You Stand Before The Lord at
The Judgment. Where you spend Eternity...
Heaven Or Hell, is determined what you did with
God's Free Love Gift.
Just One Sin Will Send Your Soul To Hell
A companion poem to The One Sin Unforgiven, and
God's Standard Is Perfection, the commission of ONLY ONE SIN...
whether you thought about doing it in your mind...or you actually did the vile deed...is enough to send you to Hell,
The Home Of The Damned. But, refusing to do
The One Thing God Requires...repenting of your sin, and
accepting His Free Love Gift...will send you there as well.
The Two Gardens
First, in The Garden Of Eden...then second, in The Garden Of Gethsemane...these were the two gardens where our eternal
life was first lost...and the second began the process of reclaiming it. Access to The Tree Of Life was lost in The Garden
Of Eden...but access to it was regained, starting in The Garden Of Gethsemane...and ultimately to
The Cross Of Christ. And, as The Lord walked with Adam and Eve in the Garden in
the cool of the day...He wants you to meet Him ''In The Garden''...and for you to
accept His Free Love Gift.
The Lord Is Never Late
With the hectic pace of life, mankind overburdens himself with numerous appointments each day. In fact, there can be so
many of these, that one is either late for them, or misses them altogether. The only things that all are
Not In A Hurry to do...are to
accept God's Free Love Gift...and
The Moment Of Your Death. But,
God Will Not Wait Forever...and while it may seem that
The Lord is delaying things...according to ''our timetable''...in reality, in the grand scheme of things for all
Eternity, there is a time for every purpose and event under Heaven. While it may
seem that God is ''slow'' by our standards...in reality, The Lord Is Never Late. However,
If You Wait 'Till It's Too Late, you will regret it for
all Eternity in The Home Of The Damned.
Not What They Were Looking For
From the Jews of Israel, to those in the world today...for the most part, Jesus Christ, the
King Of Kings, And Lord Of Lords, is not what they were looking for.
The Jews wanted a Godlike warrior to overthrow the burden of Roman Rule. The world today would prefer that He preach
a ''prosperity and social gospel''...and never be talking about
The Curse Of Sin On Planet Earth...
The Commandments Ten...
The Doom Of Satan's Lie...
The Now And Eternal Cost...
The One Thing God Requires...that
Christ Alone is
The Way, The Truth, The Life...that
The Grace Of God would be shown by
The Cross Of Christ...which was
The Gospel In A Nutshell...and that
Without The Resurrection, It's Just Not The Same.
When Christ Returns To Planet Earth, to the unsaved masses of mankind,
Christ will be Not What They Were Looking For...as He will sentence these to
The Home Of The Damned.
Hell Is Not A Party Place
A companion poem to The Home Of The Damned, many people
believe that Hell is a place where they can party, and engage in unbridled sin forever. And, that is the lie that
Satan and his demonic hordes want you to believe. Tragically, upon
The Moment Of Your Death, if you refuse to accept
God's Free Love Gift, you will find out too late that
Hell Is NOT A Party Place...and for all those there, They Shall Be Tormented Day And Night.
There Is None Beside The Lord
Based On Isaiah 45:5-6, countless deities and gods...mythological, pagan, etc. have seemingly existed forever.
But, There Is None Beside The Lord, and all these other deities, gods, etc...set up by Satan and his demonic
hordes...are FALSE. These false gods can NOT see or hear...and any prayers to them are IGNORED;
as Satan, the father of lies, ALWAYS ''double-crosses'' his followers. However, The Lord,
Christ Alone, The ONLY Way To Heaven...promises that if you
will repent of your sin, and by faith, God's Free Love Gift, He WILL
hear and answer your prayer...and NEVER LEAVE YOU OR FORSAKE YOU.
When God's Invitation Ends
Many people think that they have plenty of time to make a decision for Christ. Unfortunately, after
The Moment Of Your Death...or
When Christ Returns To Planet Earth, it's
too late to make that decision that determines Your Eternal Destiny.
God Will Not Wait Forever for mankind to repent of sin, and
accept God's Free Love Gift. And,
If You Wait Till It's Too Late, you'll see that you're
The One To Blame
When You Stand Before The Lord one day.
Sadly, Not All Will Repent
While The Lord's Question of Do You Have Time For Me?? is the most
convicting for me personally...this poem was truly a burden to write. The Will Of The Lord
is not for anyone to die in their sin...but that all should come to repentance of their sin, and by faith,
accept God's Free Love Gift. Tragically,
The Rebels Won't Accept The Truth, even though
At Least One Chance Is Given There to hear
The Gospel In A Nutshell...for some men, women, and even children...as
Those Too Blind To See...They Would Not Repent of their sin. And, at
The Judgment, they discover too late The Price Of Being Wrong
is one that they will be paying on for all Eternity.
Hell Is Not A Refuge From The Lord
A companion to Hell Is Not A Party Place,
The Home Of The Damned, and
Hell Was Meant For Satan, this poem is meant
to counter the claim made by the late blasphemer, Altamonte...who declared on his death bed,
''Hell Is A Refuge If I Can Get Away From The Voice Of God''. Tragically, all who are now in
this horrifying, eternally painful place, have discovered that they were
Given What Was Desired...that God's
Voice...and any other thing of goodness, righteousness, etc. is absent from this place.
But, all who entered here by their own choice, will still face Christ Alone...
The King Of Kings, And Lord Of Lords,
at The Judgment...where One Day, On Bended Knee,
''every knee shall bow, and every tongue shall confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the Glory of
God, The Father'' (Philippians 2:10-11). And, afterwards, these will be cast into The Lake Of Fire,
to burn forever...with Satan, his demonic hordes, and everyone else who rejected
God's Free Love Gift...and They Shall Be Tormented Day And Night.
The One To Blame
With the Choices that all of us make in life, each
of us must take the responsibility, and the blame for our actions. Because
Sin Is Like A Cancer...that started in The Garden Of Eden,
when our first parents, Adam and Eve, were deceived by Satan...every one who has ever lived and
walked upon the Earth is the one to blame for our actions against The Lord. And, it is because of this,
The Lord, He Did Command His Love To All, by leaving The Glory
Of Heaven, to come to Earth, and be born of a Virgin...to live and walk among us in all ways, except WITHOUT
sin...to take upon Himself the blame of all our sin and shame...to die on an Old Rugged Cross...and to rise again
in victory on The Third Day, according to The Scriptures. For those who have repented of their sin, and
accepted God's Free Love Gift, they realize that each one of them
is the one to blame for what Christ had to do to get us into Heaven. Tragically, if you are part of those who believe that
The Preaching Of The Cross is foolishness, choosing to
reject God's Free Love Gift, you will realize upon
The Moment Of Your Death, that you are the one to blame, because
you believed The Doom Of Satan's Lie.
Two Souls Every Second
It's hard to believe, but 2 souls die every second. That's 120 souls every minute,
7200 souls every hour, and 172,800 souls every day!! Each of these souls go either to
Heaven Or Hell...all dependent on what they
did with God's Free Love Gift...which really is
The Only Thing That Matters.
God's Standard Is Perfection, and ONLY ONE SIN
is enough to send you to The Home Of The Damned for all
Eternity. You can not forsee
The Moment Of Your Death, and
After Death, Belief Too Late to change
Your Eternal Destiny.
Jerusalem, A Burdensome Stone
Based on Zechariah 12:3, it was prophesied that ''Jerusalem would become a burdensome stone to all the nations;
and that those who burden themselves with it, would be cut in pieces''. As The Coming Of Christ
draws closer...more and more nations of the Earth are aligning themselves against Jerusalem, and
Touching The Apple Of God's Eye. Jerusalem is the ONLY place that
God called ''My City''...and after The Time Of Jacob's Trouble, Jerusalem will be from where The Lord Jesus Christ
sets up His Millenium Of Peace...a Kingdom of Righteousness And Equity. The only ones who will be allowed to enter this Holy City will
be those who have accepted God's Free Love Gift. All others will hear the
horrifying words from The Lord at The Judgment...
''Depart From Me...For You, I've Never Known.
You Cannot Argue With The Lord
Many times in life, when people disagree, or don't get their way...they resort to getting into arguments.
And, tragically, many will try to argue with the principles that God laid down...but they forget that
The Lord, He Made The Rules...and trying to argue with the
King Of Kings And Lord Of Lords will be a waste of time...as He
already knows every thought before you think it out...and every word before it is on your tongue.
The Lord Knows Everything About You, Friend
As the title of this poem says, The Lord knows everything about you...even better than you know yourself. He knew
you before you were conceived, when you'd be born, how long you'd live, what circumstances you'd encounter, when you
would die, and whether or not you would accept His Free Love Gift. But, the
choice of Your Eternal Destiny...Heaven Or Hell,
remains yours to make, before The Moment Of Your Death.
Satan And His Hordes Want You To Burn
Whether you know it or not, you have an enemy worse than any enemy on Earth. Satan and his demonic hordes HATE YOU WITH
A PASSION...and they want to BURN WITH THEM FOREVER in The Home Of The Damned.
However, you do NOT have to go there...or believe The Doom Of Satan's Lie.
Repent of your sin, and accept God's Free Love Gift...and instead, your eternal place
will instead be The Home Of The Redeemed.
The Time Of Jacob's Trouble
Based on Jeremiah 30:7, a time of tribulation never before seen upon the Earth...or will ever be again...is to begin shortly
after the Rapture Of The Church. This last ''week of years'' for the nation of Israel,
will also be God's Judgment on a sinful, Christ rejecting world. The Counterfeit Prince Of Peace
will rise to power, and appear to be the Saviour of the world...when in truth, he will make the regimes of Hitler, Stalin, and others,
pale by comparison...becoming the most evil man to ever be upon the Earth...literally Satan incarnate. During this time, 21 sets of
judgments...Seals, Bowls, And Trumpets will pour God's Wrath upon the Earth, and nearly two thirds
of those living on the planet at the start of this time period will die. At the end of this time, the nation of Israel will realize that
Jesus Christ, The Suffering Servant...is their Messiah...and, they will call on Him, to save them
from certain extinction by the armies of the world...and He does!! Every Eye Shall See The Lord One Day...
and for all those who rejected Him...they'll realize that they were part of Those Too Blind To See...and
that the King Of Kings, And Lord Of Lords is now The Worst Nightmare Faced...
as they will spend Eternity in The Home Of The Damned.
However, for those who believed on The One Thing God Requires, they will then enter Christ's
Millenial Kingdom on Earth...where the devastation from the previous seven years will be removed...with both The Groaning Of Creation,
and The Curse Of Sin On Planet Earth will be no more. You can avoid the worst seven years that the Earth
will experience, if you repent of your sin, and accept God's Free Love Gift, before the
Rapture Of The Church.
Let God Be True, But Every Man A Liar
Based on Romans 3:4, throughout history, ''wolves among the flock'' have constantly worked to sow discord among the true believers that have
repented of their sin, and accepted Jesus Christ as Their Lord And Saviour. They create a bunch of man-made
traditions, rituals, a ''feel good social gospel that tickles the ears'', etc. But, these sinful souls in positions of authority in The Church, fail to accept the fact that
God's Word Is Final Authority, that
God's Word Is Not Here To Tickle Your Ears, and that
God's Words Live Forever, Friend. Everyone is urged to ''test the spirits'', because
not every man preaching from the pulpit, is actually preaching The Truth Of God. To these, at
The Judgment, these will hear the horrifying words from the
King Of Kings And Lord Of Lords...''Depart From Me...
For You've I've Never Known.
After The Rapture Of The Church. Don't Worry About Me
One day soon, with no advance warning...and taking place faster than light can enter the eye and strike the retina...millions of people,
dead and alive...will vanish from Planet Earth in the Rapture Of The Church. All those who put
their faith in Christ Alone...the King Of Kings And Lord Of Lords,
as their Saviour...will rejoice at the cry Behold The Bridegroom Comes. Tragically,
Tragedy At Rapture will be the rule To Those Left Behind On Earth after the Rapture.
The Time Of Jacob's Trouble, ruled by The Counterfeit Prince Of Peace,
will be a time of trouble never before seen on Earth. It will take The Coming Of Christ to stop
the destruction. But for those who are worried about those taken in the Rapture, there is no need to worry...
they are now with The Lord for all Eternity. You can be part of this group, if you repent of your
sin, and accept God's Free Love Gift before either
The Moment Of Your Death, or the Rapture Of The Church.
However, If You Wait Till It's Too Late...and either miss the
Rapture Of The Church...or you die unexpectedly, as
Tomorrow Is Promised To No One...you will regret that choice in
The Home Of The Damned for all Eternity.
The Lost Will Get Their Wish Granted One Day
A companion poem to Given What Was Desired, everyone who has refused to accept
God's Free Love Gift, The Lord will give them their wish one day. At the
Rapture Of The Church, all the true believers, dead and alive, will vanish from the
Earth to join Christ in the Heavens. Since they continually refuse to listen to The Lord's Still Small Voice, He
will finally grant them their request. Tragically, in The Home Of The Damned,
they'll realize that it's too late for them to change their eternal destiny.
Prophecies Will Be Fulfilled One Day
A companion poem to God's Promises Are Kept...as prophecies from The Lord in times past
were fulfilled...the remainder of unfulfilled prophecies will be fulfilled one day as well. Starting with the
Rapture Of The Church, followed by The Time Of Jacob's Trouble,
and ultimately The Coming Of Christ. For those who reject these prophecies, saying that
The Preaching Of The Cross is foolishness...they tragically will see too late that
The Price Of Being Wrong is a far greater cost than they can pay.
The Blessed Hope
Based on Titus 2:13, this is the ultimate hope of those who have repented of their sin, and
accepted Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour. When
The Last Person Saved has been reached in God's Divine Quota,
the cry of Behold, The Bridegroom Comes will resonate through the Heavens...
and faster than it takes light to enter eye and strike the retina, the Rapture Of The Church,
will occur...where it will be A Reunion Like No Other. Those left behind, who rejected
God's Free Love Gift will enter The Time Of Jacob's Trouble,
which will last for seven years. After which, When Christ Returns To Planet Earth as
King Of Kings And Lord Of Lords, it will be too late at that point to make a
decision to change Your Eternal Destiny.
Pride Before Destruction
Based on Proverbs 16:18, those who arrogantly gloat and boast about themselves in their prideful egos, will be
shocked to find one day that The Lord will bring them down, with
God's Judgment There, When Least Expected. The Lord declares that
I Will Break The Pride Of Your Power, and asks
What Good Is Your Pride Going To Do You In Hell??. Pride is
what brought down Lucifer, originally the covering cherub...who became Satan, the father of all lies and pride...
as well as the third of the angelic realm who followed him, and became his demonic minons.
One Day, On Bended Knee...Satan himself, his demonic hordes, and every
soul who has ever lived...whether or not they accepted God's Free Love Gift,
will bow before the Throne of Jesus Christ, The King Of Kings And Lord Of Lords,
and declare that Jesus Christ Is Lord, to The Glory Of God The Father.
Everlasting Punishment Or Life Eternal There will be yours, depending on
what you do with God's Free Love Gift.
Those Now In The Flames Of Hell
A companion poem to The Home Of The Damned, billions of souls are in a place
that they never thought they'd end up in...they don't want their loves one to join them...they wish they could get out, but
realize there is no escape from the place originally made for Satan and his demonic hordes.
Those now in the flames of Hell refused to do The One Thing God Requires...to repent
of sin, and Receive God's Free Love Gift. Tragically, you too, will join
this group, if you have The One Sin Unforgiven on your record
When You Stand Before The Lord...and before that at
The Moment Of Your Death.
God Has Always Been A Gentleman
The title of this poem may be a bit misleading, where some believe that The Lord of all Creation will never be
subject to anger. However,from the pages of The Bible, we know that isn't the case...especially in the many instances of
Intervention By The Lord. What this poem describes is that The Lord
did NOT want robots...but people who would VOLUNTARILY worship and serve Him out of love and
gratitude, for when The Lord, He Did Command His Love To All, by
sending His Only Begotten Son, Christ Alone, the
King Of Kings And Lord Of Lords to take all of the sins that would
ever be done upon Himself...and die on an Old Rugged Cross, shedding his Precious
Blood to cleanse our sins away for Eternity. But, when most of mankind rebelled...as
They Tragically Turned Their Backs On The Lord...effectively telling
God ''We Don't Want You In Our Lives''...they were Given What Was Desired.
And, so the Hand of God's Protection was lifted from both these individuals,
and nations...with God's Judgment There When Least Expected. The Lord will
NOT force you to repent of your sin, and accept His Free Love Gift. But,
If You Reject The Lord, You'll Hate Yourself Forever,
as you spend Eternity in The Home Of The Damned.
Soon All Of Earth Will Feel Sodom's Fate
Sodom and Gomorrah were destroyed by The Lord for their sinful lifestyle...by God's Righteous Fire. And as 2 Peter 3:10 notes,
one day, all of Earth will meet the same fate. While water cleanses, fire purifies...and the Earth will need to be fully
purified from The Curse Of Sin On Planet Earth before The Lord makes all things new.
And, just as the Earth will feel Sodom's fate of Fiery Judgment, all those who reject
God's Free Love Gift will be sent to The Home Of The Damned,
The Lake Of Fire, for all eternity. And unlike this current Earth, which will be burned up, before The Lord
creates a New Heaven, a New Earth, and a New Jerusalem...those in The Lake Of Fire will never burn up.
You don't have to receive this horrifying, eternal fate. Repent of your sin, and
accept Jesus Christ as Your Lord And Saviour.
You Can't Say That You Weren't Warned
At Least One Chance Is Given There for everyone to hear the Gospel Truth, that
Christ Alone, the King Of Kings And Lord Of Lords,
left the Glory Of Heaven to come to Earth...to be born of a Virgin...to live and walk among us in all ways, EXCEPT WITHOUT SIN...to
be condemned to die in our place on an Old Rugged Cross...to rise from the dead on the third day according to the Scriptures...
and that He's coming back to rule and reign one day. The Lord Did All He Could To Save Your Soul...
but Your Eternal Destiny depends on your decision.
Not Everyone Will Enter Heaven
Based on Matthew 7:23, not everyone who calls Jesus LORD will enter Heaven...but those who have
repented of their sin, and accepted God's Free Love Gift.
Lip Service Isn't Good Enough, and just Going Through The Motions
will tragically make you a part of this group.
Confession Or Denial Of The Lord
Based on Matthew 10:32-33, those who confess Jesus Christ before others, He will confess them before His
Father in Heaven...and conversely, those who deny Jesus Christ before others, He will deny them before His
Father in Heaven. Those who repent of their sin, and accept God's Free Love Gift,
will not have to fear The Lord...as He will be A Friend For Life, both here on
Earth, and in Eternity. Traglically, those who choose to spurn God's Free Love Gift,
The Lord will be The Worst Nightmare There Faced.
The Day All Hope Is Gone
For those who read this Gospel Poetry Collection...and yet, choose to reject God's Free Love Gift...
The Moment Of Your Death for you, will be the title of this poem.
It's Appointed All To Die, and after this, The Judgment.
And, once you enter The Home Of The Damned, you'll realize too late that there is no escape.
Mankind Never Learns
Throughout life, every day events are a ''learning experience''. You're shown what will happen if you disobey the rules, and the
consequences. Sadly, just as many spurn the advice of their parents, family, etc. -- most of mankind also spurns The Words Of The Lord,
and His Rules for Life. Despite all the warnings...and resulting judgments...it seems that, as the title of this poem states...
mankind never learns. Tragically, those who choose to reject God's Free Love Gift, they
will also be in this category.
Not Confusions Author
Based on 1 Corinthians 14:33, The Lord is not the author of confusion. The Gospel News is so simple...yet
mankind does so much to make it confusing. Those choosing to refuse God's Free Love Gift,
because they chose to listen to The Doom Of Satan's Lie, will regret it for all
Eternity.
It Won't Be By Accident At Death
Upon The Moment Of Your Death, you will go either to
Heaven Or Hell. And, it won't be by accident that you entered
either place. A Decision Not Required To Go To Hell,
The Home Of The Damned...but you can either
Repent And Receive, Or Reject And Regret
God's Free Love Gift.
Your Eternal Destiny depends on your decision.
They Believe, And Tremble There
Based on James 2:19...Those Now In The Flames Of Hell...including
Satan, his demonic hordes, and everyone who refused God's Free Love Gift...
realize too late the Truth of God's Word, and know that they will be Without Excuse,
before the King Of Kings And Lord Of Lords at
The Judgment...and realizing that Jesus Christ will be
The Worst Nightmare There Faced, makes them tremble...as
The Horror In Their Eyes will be with them for all Eternity.
God Is Not Mocked
Based on Galatians 6:7, When You Stand Before The Lord at
The Judgment, you'll be Without Excuse.
Your Life Is Being Recorded, and everything will be played back...whether done in secret,
or in the open...and there will be No Question Of Guilt on your part in every motive, word,
thought, and deed that you committed. God's Standard Is Perfection,
and if you've broken His Law at one point, you've broken it at ALL points.
You Can't Fool The Lord, My Friend, and unless you choose to
repent of your sin, and accept Jesus Christ as Your Lord and Saviour,
instead of spending Eternity in The Home Of The Redeemed,
The Lake Of Fire...The Home Of The Damned will be your eternal fate.
They Shall Be Tormented Day And Night
Based on Revelation 20:10...this is the fate for Satan, his demonic hordes, The Counterfeit Prince Of Peace (The Antichrist),
The False Prophet, and everyone else who refused to repent of their sin, and accept God's Free Love Gift.
I pray that you will NOT be part of this group.
Bible Prophecies Show That They're True
As in years past, the prophecies in The Word Of God...that came to pass 100% of the time...in God's Own Time, all of the remaining unfulfilled
prophecies will be fulfilled in like manner...just as they were prophesied that they would be.
All Scripture Given By The Lord, in all
The Books Of The Bible...and
God's Word Is Final Authority. There is nothing that mankind can
do to keep every event prophesied in God's Word from occurring. But, you can make TODAY
The Most Important Day for you in all
Eternity, by repenting of your sin, and accepting
God's Free Love Gift. Please note that
Tomorrow Is Promised To No One, and
You Can't Say That You Weren't Warned
When You Stand Before The Lord one day.
Destined For The Lake Of Fire
Sadly, Not All Will Repent of their sin, and accept God's Free Love Gift.
Those Not In God's Kingdom, and Those Now In The Flames Of Hell are destined for
this horrible place, created for Satan and his demonic hordes...and these will be there for all Eternity, with no hope or chance
of escape. I pray that you WON'T be part of this tragic group.
Humbled And In Awe
When I consider all that The Lord did for me, even though I was still a sinner...I am greatly humbled and in awe
when I stand in His Prescence...in prayer or otherwise. I can NOT understand why He would leave the Glory Of Heaven, to come to Earth,
to be born of a Virgin, to live and walk among mankind, and to allow Himself to be beaten and crucified for not only
every sin I would commit, but for the sins of everyone who ever lived...and guarantee the victory with His Resurrection.
However, to obtain this forgiveness, one must repent of their sin, and accept God's Free Love Gift.
When God's Patience Ends
God Will Not Wait Forever for mankind to repent of sin, and
accept Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour. And, when God's Patience ends,
His Judgments will come fast and furious...and it'll be too late to make a decision for Christ. And, it will truly be
a frightening time on Earth...as it has been many times throughout history.
The Most Hated Words
The words that Jesus Christ said in John 14:6, ''I am The Way, The Truth, And The Life. No one comes to The Father,
except through Me'' are probably the most hated words ever spoken by anyone who has walked the Earth. It is the ''death sentence''
to all other religions...showing that ONLY by repenting of sin, and accepting by faith what He did for all mankind
in dying in our place on that Old Rugged Cross, rising from the dead on the third day according to the
Scriptures...and accepting God's Free Love Gift...can one expect to enter Heaven.
What you do with these words determines Your Eternal Destiny.
No Pardons And No Mercy
For those who refuse to do The One Thing God Requires...repenting of their sin,
and accepting God's Free Love Gift...at The Judgment,
there will be no pardons and no mercy...as all these are Destined For The Lake Of Fire.
I pray that you will NOT be part of this group.
Everyone's Accountable
A companion poem to You'll Answer Only For Yourself,
A Life On Trial, and
Your Life Is Being Recorded,
everyone will be accountable at The Judgment
before The Lord one day. Like it or not, your life will be replayed in every way...but, it'll
be too late at that point to accept Jesus Christ as Your Lord And Savior.
Those Calling On The Lord's Name Shall Be Saved
Based on Romans 10:13, whoever shall call upon The Name of The Lord...not Going Through The Motions...
but truly believing that Jesus Christ, God In The Flesh...left Heaven's Glory to come to Earth, to be born of a Virgin, to live and walk among us in
all ways (except without sin), to die on an Old Rugged Cross for all mankind, that God raised Him from the dead on the third day, according to The
Scriptures, that He's coming again to rule and reign...when they ask Christ to be their Lord and Saviour, He will do so...saving their
souls from the wrath of God's Judgment. But,
Sadly, Not All Will Repent, and for these...instead of being
A Friend For Life, Christ will be The Worst Nightmare There Faced.
A Day That These Will Dread
Of all the days in life, one thinks that the day which has The Moment Of Your Death,
is the most feared day. For those who refuse to accept God's Free Love Gift, this statement is
indeed, SAD, BUT TRUE. However, for those who repent of their sin, and
accept Jesus Christ as their Lord and Saviour, they have
nothing to fear of this day.
Deals With The Devil Are All Fake
All of mankind, in their sinful, corruptible flesh, has an insatiable appetite for power, fame, riches, etc. Some are so consumed with this,
that they will engage in The Selling Of Ones Soul to the Devil.
Tragically, one fails to realize that ''payments come due at The Moment Of Your Death...and then, it's too late
to change ones mind.
The Law Made For The Lawless Ones
Based on 1 Timothy 1:9, The Law was made not for the righteous man, but for those who prefer to live in sin.
And, once you've broken just one of God's Laws, that sin will condemn you to
The Home Of The Damned for all
Eternity. Your Righteousness As Filthy Rags,
and Just One Sin Will Send Your Soul To Hell.
God's Standard Is Perfection, and if you refuse to
God's Free Love Gift, you'll find that you're
The One To Blame When You Stand Before The Lord.
The Cup Of Man's Iniquity Is Filled
Just like a glass filled with liquid, the cup of mankind's iniquity keeps filling...and at times, it overflows from
Earth to Heaven. And, The Lord has a cup as well...full of wrath...which one day will be poured out in Righteous Anger
to counteract mankind's cup of iniquity. Every person's sin nature keeps adding to that cup, and the only way you'll wash away
the overflow stain from that sinful cup is to accept God's Free Love Gift.
All Resistance To The Lord Will End
God Will Not Wait Forever for mankind to repent of their sin, and
accept God's Free Love Gift. And, one day,
All Resistance To The Lord will end. First, When Christ Returns To Planet Earth,
at The Judgment Of The Sheep And Goats...then at the end of the Millenium Of Peace, after
The Judgment Of The Great White Throne, when The Lord creates a New Heaven and New Earth...where
Sin Won't Rise A Second Time. There will be no more of this
''political corruption'', ''political correctness'' (The Lord Is Not Politically Correct),
or anything against The Will Of The Lord. Those who think
The Freedom Of Religion should be ''freedom from religion'', one day will be
Given What Was Desired, and they will spend Eternity
in The Home Of The Damned, where They Shall Be Tormented Day And Night.
The Bema Judgment Seat Of Christ
Based on 2 Corinthians 5:10, The Bema Judgment Seat Of Christ is ONLY for those who have
God's Free Love Gift. However, The Judgment
there will be the most solemn time for believers, as they will give an account for how they served the
King Of Kings, And Lord Of Lords while on Earth, detailed
here. It is NOT a judgment for sin,
as that issue was settled at The Cross Of Christ. But, it will
determine the eternal standing of one before The Lord...with rewards gained and lost.
The Judgment Of The Great White Throne
Based on Revelation 20:11-15, The Judgment Of The Great White Throne will be the final event The Lord will have with mortal man...in this
case, the most somber day in all of history. Everyone there, from Adam to the end of the Millenium Of Peace,
who REFUSED to God's Free Love Gift...will be there. The majority of these will have already
spent time in The Home Of The Damned...and now, Hell is emptied...as it, and Death (the last
enemy to be destroyed) will be cast into The Lake Of Fire...along with everyone at this horrifying Judgment. Each unsaved soul will have their
lives replayed...every thought, word, and deed...whether hidden or in the open...will be shown for everyone to see. And, there will be
No Question Of Guilt on the part of each individual there. They will be COMPELLED by the Truth of
God's Word, to bow, and declare that Jesus Christ Is Lord...even though they would not accept Him while on Earth. Tragically, it is now
TOO LATE for them to change their Eternal Destiny...The Lake Of Fire...where they will join Satan, his demonic hordes,
The Counterfeit Prince Of Peace, and the False Prophet, for all
Eternity, and They Shall Be Tormented Day And Night.
I pray that you will NOT be part of this group.
Millenium Of Peace
Based on numerous passages from the book of Isaiah and elsewhere, The Curse Of Sin On Planet Earth
will finally be REMOVED, and the ravaged planet, corrupted by sin for over 6000 years, will be restored at
The Coming Of Christ to the incredible beauty not known since the time of Adam and Eve in The Garden
Of Eden, before they fell into sin. Long life spans will be restored, there will be no more hurt and fear between mankind and the animal kingdom,
there will be no more war or threat of crime, and With A Rod Of Iron, Christ Will Rule
the nations. For Of Christ's Kingdom, There Shall Be No End, tragically at the end of Millenium Of Peace,
Like A Roaring Lion, Satan will gather up a force as numerous as the sand of the sea, and surround the
Holy City in a state of siege. But, God will destroy them with His Righteous Fire, and they will be raised to stand before
The Judgment Of The Great White Throne...and afterwards, be cast into
The Lake Of Fire...where they will join Satan, his demonic hordes, The Counterfeit Prince Of Peace, and the False Prophet,
for all Eternity, and They Shall Be Tormented Day And Night.
In Twinkling Of An Eye, The Rapture Comes
Based on 1 Corinthians 15:52, the Rapture Of The Church will occur in a time period so fast, that it can
not be divided. Faster than it takes light to enter the eye and strike the retina, and faster than the time it takes for a
neuro-electrical synapse firing in the brain to occur...it will happen so quickly, that those who are left behind will NOT have time to say
''good-bye''. For a video of how quick the Rapture Of The Church may occur,
click here. Those throughout history, with faith in Christ Alone to save them...because they are saved by
Grace Through Faith, And Not Of Works, ''the dead in Christ shall rise first...then those that are alive and
remain, will be caught up in the clouds to meet The Lord in the air, and shall forever be with The Lord'' (I Thessalonians 4:16-17). Those who are left
behind will have REJECTED God's Free Love Gift, and will enter
The Time Of Jacob's Trouble...where The Counterfeit Prince Of Peace
will rule the world for seven years...a time of trouble that the world has never seen. Then,
When Christ Returns To Planet Earth, He will be joined by His Bride,
The Church, which was raptured seven years earlier...and With A Rod Of Iron, Christ Will Rule
the nations during the Millenium Of Peace. Once the Rapture Of The Church
occurs, There Is No Second Chance to join the Rapture. However, those who do accept
God's Free Love Gift during The Time Of Jacob's Trouble
will LIKELY be martyred by beheading. But, these will rule and reign with Christ during the
Millenium Of Peace.
With A Rod Of Iron, Christ Will Rule
Based on Revelation 19:15, When Christ Returns To Planet Earth, He will COMPEL the rulers of
all nations to yield their scepters to Him, during the Millenium Of Peace.
The Curse Of Sin On Planet Earth will have been removed, and Earth will be
under the reign of its Rightful Ruler, the King Of Kings, And Lord Of Lords.
Those who REFUSED God's Free Love Gift will NOT be allowed to enter
Christ's Kingdom...and a time of joy not seen on Earth since the fall of man in Genesis 3; which resulted in the expulsion
of our first parents, Adam and Eve, from The Garden Of Eden...and brought down The Curse Of Sin On Planet Earth.
The Unsaved Will Regret Their Choice For All Eternity
The title of this poem is truly a sad statement to make. Sadly, Not All Will Repent of their sin,
and accept Jesus Christ as their Lord and Saviour. To these,
The Freedom Of Religion meant ''freedom from religion''...and they despise the statement that
The Lord Is Not Politically Correct. Tragically,
Those Too Blind To See, will have The Horror In Their Eyes, when they join
Those Now In The Flames Of Hell, and realize that they are part of Those Not In God's Kingdom.
You can change Your Eternal Destiny, and not be part of this group, by
repenting of your sins, and accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour.
Of Christ's Kingdom, There Shall Be No End
Based on Isaiah 9:7, and a companion poem to Millenium Of Peace,
and With A Rod Of Iron, Christ Will Rule,
When Christ Returns To Planet Earth, He will COMPEL
all Earthly potentates to YIELD their scepters to Him. Unlike all the kingdoms before, ruled by
sinful souls, Christ's Kingdom will be pure in righteousness and equity. Only those who have repented of their sin,
and have accepted Jesus Christ as their Lord and Saviour will
be admitted into this Kingdom.
Followers Of Satan's Ways Will One Day Get The Shaft
Those Too Blind To See the folly of their sinful behavior, and following Satan's lying ways,
will tragically realize too late that Satan always lies to his followers. He tells them that
The Judgment Of The Great White Throne is something that they don't have to worry
about, that the The Preaching Of The Cross is a bunch of foolishness. But, one day, the
King Of Kings And Lord Of Lords, Christ Alone,
will have The Last Laugh. Everyone who has ever lived, one day at either
The Bema Judgment Of Jesus Christ (if they accepted
God's Free Love Gift...or at
The Judgment Of The Great White Throne, respectively...
they will bow...Eagerly, Or Compelled by the Truth Of God's Word,
and declare the Jesus Christ Is Lord. Even Satan and his demonic hordes will be forced to do so, just before being
cast into The Lake Of Fire for all Eternity.
Against The Flesh And Blood, We Wrestle Not
Based on Ephesians 6:12, many believe that they're fighting against other individuals...but, in reality, it's the
unseen powers of darkness in Satan's realm of wickedness, who are seemingly moving the Earth and everyone else to
destruction. God's Protection from these evil forces are His Holy Word,
The Books Of The Bible, The Blood Of Jesus, and The Whole
Armor Of God, for those who have accepted God's Free Love Gift.
A Famine In The Land, Will One Day, Come
Based on Amos 8:11-12, one day, unrepentant man will be Given What Was Desired.
God Has Always Been A Gentleman, and since mankind has wanted to remove every
vestige of The Books Of The Bible from his existence...The Lord will cause a famine
in the land...not of food, but in the Truth Of The Word Of God. This will be most pronounced during
The Time Of Jacob's Trouble, after the
Rapture Of The Church, and before
When Christ Returns To Planet Earth.
At that point, evil influence and unbelievers will be removed from Earth to The Home Of The Damned,
where they will be tormented with Those Now In The Flames Of Hell...prior to The Judgment Of The Great White Throne.
Only those who have accepted God's Free Love Gift will be ushered into the
Millenium Of Peace.
Loving The Appearing Of The Lord
Based on 2 Timothy 4:8, one of The Five Eternal Crowns, The Crown Of Righteousness
is laid up for those who love the appearing of The Lord at the Rapture Of The Church.
Christ Alone, the King Of Kings And Lord Of Lords
is the one who remove The Curse Of Sin On Planet Earth, when He returns. Those who have
accepted God's Free Love Gift long for the appearing of The Lord, and for the cry
Behold, The Bridegroom Comes.
No One Knows The Things God Has Prepared
Based On Isaiah 64:4 and 1 Corinthians 2:9, no eye has seen, no ear has heard, nor has entered into the
heart of man, the things that God has prepared for those who love Him. While we now see through a glass
darkly, those who have gone on to be with The Lord...those who have accepted His Free Love Gift,
now see Him face to face...and are experiencing these things firsthand. And, this joy will be for all in Christ
to experience one day.
Without Witness Or A Preacher, How Shall People Hear??
Based on Romans 10:14, without the witness or preaching of The Gospel Truth...that Jesus Christ, God's Only Begotten Son,
left the glory of Heaven, to come to Earth to be born of a Virgin...to live and walk among us in all ways, except without sin,
to die on an Old Rugged Cross for the sins of everyone who would ever live...would rise again on the Third Day
according to the Scriptures...and is coming back again to rule and reign eternally...no one would hear this
Good News. And, like was shared with me over 30 years ago, I now feel the need to share this with you...in the
many poems that The Lord has given me...designed as a witness to the lost, and a ministry to the saved.
Full Counsel Of God Must Be Proclaimed
A companion poem to The Lord Is Not Politically Correct, and
God's Word Is Not Here To Tickle Your Ears, the full counsel of
God's Holy Word must be preached...calling sin for what it is...as The Lord, He Made The Rules,
even If You're Offended By These Words. Because
Other Gospels Preached will lead you only to
The Home Of The Damned, and eventually to
The Judgment Of The Great White Throne, where
The Horror In Their Eyes will be fully realized, when
they hear Christ's Words ''For You, I've Never Known''.
God, He Will Supply All Of Your Need
Based On Philippians 4:19, the key is that ''God will supply all of your needs according to His
Riches and Glory in Christ Jesus''...note that the word is NEEDS, and NOT WANTS.
For if we ask outside of His Will, or have sin in our hearts...He will not answer our request. However
The Will Of The Lord is not for any to perish, but all should
come to repentance. And, The Lord, He Did Command His Love To All,
by dying on an Old Rugged Cross to pay for every sin that would ever be committed...and rising from the dead
the Third Day, according to The Scriptures, to supply the need to restore us back to fellowship with Him,
if we would repent of our sin, and accept His Free Love Gift.
God's Not A Genie, As Some Do Believe
Some people think that God is like a parachute cord, that one can pull in an emergency...or that He is like a Genie,
to grant our every wish, want, and request...as if God should respond a certain way to a Christian when they say certain
words. That teaching...known as ''positive confession'', smacks of sorcery. When we ask outside of
His Will, or if we are hiding sin in our hearts, He will not hear our prayer...nor will He answer it. That includes if
you're Going Through The Motions in
The Sinners Prayer. The Lord knows your motives, words, and thoughts...and
while you may fool others into thinking you're blessed by God, You Can't Fool The Lord, My Friend,
and you'll be terrified when you hear the words ''For You've I've Never Known'',
there at The Judgment Of The Great White Throne.
Woe To Them
Based on Isaiah 5:8, 18, 21-22, 10:1, 29:15, Hosea 7:13, and Jude 11...The Lord declares ''woe to them''
that do the things in this poem. But, even more so, woe to those who refuse God's Free Love Gift.
People Who Are Christians Just In Name
A companion poem to Going Through The Motions, many people nowadays are
''Christians in Name Only''. They may walk the walk, and talk the talk, but they never have repented of their sin, and
accepted God's Free Love Gift. You Can't Fool The Lord, My Friend,
and The Lord Is Not Surprised by any of your actions. Instead of appearing at
The Bema Judgment Seat Of Christ, these will appear at
The Judgment Of The Great White Throne, and they will hear
the horrifying words from The Lord, ''Depart From Me, For You, I've Never Known''.
My Heart Breaks When Someone Spurns The Lord
A companion to Sadly Not All Will Repent, when I think of the souls that have been
witnessed to through the ages, and rejected the Truth, in favor of Other Gospels Preached,
it breaks my heart when someone spurns The Lord, and His Gospel. But, Christ commanded us to witness to all nations, that
How Shall We Escape if we neglect so great salvation?? But,
At Least One Chance Is Given There for everyone to make a choice to accept, or to reject
God's Free Love Gift. And, as someone witnessed to those of us who are saved,
we can do no less to those who are still have not repented of their sin, and accepted God's Free Love Gift.
God Is No Respecter, There, Of Persons Anywhere, and The Lord God Shows No Partiality
Based on Acts 10:34, and Deuteronomy 10:19, The Lord does NOT play favorites. No matter where you were born, whether Jew or Gentile,
rich or poor, race, nationality, etc., The One Thing God Requires is to believe on the One He
has sent, in the Person of His Only Begotten Son, the King Of Kings, And Lord Of Lords,
Jesus Christ. God's Standard Is Perfection, and no one on Earth can meet that requirement.
Your Eternal Destiny, Heaven Or Hell, is
determined by what you do with God's Free Love Gift.
You Can't Praise The Lord Through Clenched Teeth, There
While many people are Going Through The Motions, fooling people of the truthfulness of their
relationship to Christ Alone, the King Of Kings, And Lord Of Lords,
You Can't Fool The Lord, My Friend, and ''praising Him through clenched teeth'' is
as rebellion...just as the sin of witchcraft (1 Samuel 15:23). The Lord Is Not Surprised
by your actions, and When You Stand Before The Lord, the truth of all of your thoughts, words, and
deeds will be shown for all to see...including whether or not you accepted God's Free Love Gift.
Two Places Where The Lord Cannot Be Found
While Christ Alone did create all things, there are two places where The Lord cannot be found.
Both of these are The Home Of The Damned...but it must be fairly stated that
Hell Was Meant For Satan, his demonic hordes, and all who refused
God's Free Love Gift. In The Pit Of Hell, which will eventually be
cast into The Lake Of Fire...there is no joy, happiness, laughter, holiness, anything good, or anything of God.
The Lord Did All He Could To Save Your Soul from these places, but
Your Eternal Destiny will include these two places, where you and
They Shall Be Tormented Day And Night, because a
Decision's Not Required To Go To Hell.
No Athiests Exist There In Hell Fire
Similar to the old saying ''there are no athiests in foxholes'', all Those Now In The Flames Of Hell,
are all believers. Unfortunately for them, they did NOT do The One Thing God Requires
while they were alive on Earth. They thought that The Preaching Of The Cross was
foolishness...now they see that they are The One To Blame because they would not
accept God's Free Love Gift. And, in these
Two Places Where The Lord Cannot Be Found, prayer has no effect. For these,
God's Grace is over, and they will face Christ Alone at
The Judgment Of The Great White Throne, where they will be
Without Excuse for their actions...and they will be cast into The Lake Of Fire, and
They Shall Be Tormented Day And Night, with Satan, his demonic hordes, and
everyone else who refused God's Free Love Gift.
Every Idle Word That's Spoken There
Based on Matthew 12:36, every word spoken, every deed done, and every thought that went through ones mind...
whether for good or evil, each individual will give account of at The Judgment.
This applies to both believers, who have accepted God's Free Love Gift, as they stand
before The Bema Judgment Seat Of Christ...as well as to those who refused
God's Free Love Gift, and they appear at
The Judgment Of The Great White Throne.
Your Life Is Being Recorded, and
You'll Answer Only For Yourself,
When You Stand Before The Lord...and there will be
No Question Of Guilt on what you said, thought, or did.
They Profess They Know The Lord, But Their Works Deny
Based On Titus 1:16, there are many who profess that they know The Lord, but their works actually deny Him.
Not Everyone Will Enter Heaven, and
You Can't Fool The Lord, My Friend. There will be
No Question Of Guilt When You Stand Before The Lord
one day...including Every Idle Word That's Spoken There, and
if you preferred Other Gospels Preached, rather than
The Cross Of Christ.
There Is None Good But One, That Is God
Based on Matthew 19:17, Mark 10:18, and Luke 18:19, the text is from the story of The Rich Young Ruler...who
came to Jesus and asked Him what he should do to inherit Eternal Life. Christ told Him, ''Why do you call me good??
There is none good but one, that is God''. While Jesus Christ is God In The Flesh, He
shows that God's Standard Is Perfection, and that no one on Earth
can meet that standard...except for repenting of their sin, and accepting God's Free Love Gift.
Two Questions
The idea for this poem came from a lapel pin I saw once...it had two question marks. Curious, I asked the gentleman who
was wearing them what that meant, and he provided the ''two questions''. First, ''if you were to die in the next five seconds,
would you know beyond the shadow of a doubt, where your eternal home would be??''...and the second question was ''If you were
standing before Almighty God right now, and He said 'Give Me one reason why I should let you into My Heaven', what would you say??''.
My answers would be ''I know beyond the shadow of a doubt that Heaven would be my Eternal Home''...and
''Only Because of what Christ Alone, the
King Of Kings, And Lord Of Lords did for me on Calvary's Old Rugged Cross''.
While the answers are there, you can NOT just ''take these and apply them to yourself'', UNLESS you too,
repent of your sins, and accept God's Free Love Gift.
Lip Service Isn't Good Enough, and for those who try it, they will hear the
horrifying words at The Judgment Of The Great White Throne...as Christ Alone,
telling them ''Depart From Me...For You I've Never Known.
I Stake My Eternity On Christ
In answer to the Two Questions, I stake my eternity on Christ Alone,
the King Of Kings And Lord Of Lords, and what He did for me on The Cross Of Calvary,
to pay for every sin I would ever commit. If I'm wrong, I won't lose much when I die...but, for those who refuse
God's Free Love Gift, The Price Of Being Wrong
will be greater than they could pay.
Seven Fundamental Truths That I Do Believe
A companion poem to my Statement Of Faith, this poem tells of seven fundamental Bible Truths that I do believe.
These are that God's Word is totally error free...Jesus Christ, is God come in the Flesh, has always existed eternally with His Father...
that Christ was born of a Virgin (to bypass the blood curse because of mankind's sin)...
that Christ's Death on The Cross paid the cost of sin, and for those who accepted God's Free Love Gift,
they were reconciled to God...that Christ arose from the dead in victory on the third day, according to the Scriptures...that we're saved by
Grace Through Faith, And Not Of Works...and that
When Christ Returns To Planet Earth, all those rejecting Him will be sentenced at
The Judgment Of The Great White Throne to The Lake Of Fire, to be
tormented for all Eternity.
Destruction And Hell, They Are Never Filled
Based On Proverbs 27:20, despite many souls every day plunging toward destruction,
and entering The Home Of The Damned, on
The Moment Of Their Death, both these places
are never filled, nor are they bursting at the seams. One day, at
The Judgment Of The Great White Throne, these will
be emptied...and everyone there will be cast into The Lake Of Fire with Satan, his demonic hordes,
and everyone who refused God's Free Love Gift.
According To The Scriptures
Based On 1 Corinthians 15:3-4, everything prophesied in The Books Of The Bible,
will one day be fulfilled in their entireity...for Thy Word Is Sealed In Heaven,
and no matter what man may try to do with The Changing Of God's Word,
he will see too late that he is powerless to stop The Lord. Even Satan is a created being with LIMITED POWER...
but Jesus Christ Is God Almighty, With UNLIMITED POWER.
And, those who feel that they can circumvent what The Lord does, they will find out too late that
The Price Of Being Wrong will be far greater than they can pay.
The Scriptures Are Not Open To Private Interpretation
Based On 2 Peter 1:20, and a companion poem to The Changing Of God's Word,
many people would rather change God's Word to suit their desires. But, God's Word Is Final Authority,
and God's Word Is Not Here To Tickle Your Ears. Those adding to, or taking away from things in God's
Word, will pay a huge price, Eternally...and these may be part of
Those Not In God's Kingdom. For further details,
click here.
The Rapture Will Occur So Fast
Based on 1 Corinthians 15:52, The Rapture will occur so fast...in an atomos of time. In short, in a period of time that happens so
quick, that it cannot be divided. It'll occur faster than the time it takes for a neuro-electrical synapse firing in the brain to occur...
and faster than the time it takes light to enter the eye and strike the retina. For a look at possibly how quick that may be, when The
Rapture does occur, click here. Only those who have repented of their sins, and
placed their faith in Christ Alone to save them, and who have accepted
God's Free Love Gift before it, will be
included in this glorious event. While one can still be saved after the Rapture,
Martyrdom (likely beheading) will be the price of salvation during The Time Of Jacob's Trouble...the
last seven years of human history, before the time When Christ Returns To Planet Earth.
The Heart Is Wicked, And Full Of Deceit
Based on Jeremiah 17:9, the heart of everyone upon the Earth is wicked and full of deceit...so much so, that no one (except The Lord)
can know the true extent of man's evil and depravity. There Is None Good But One, That Is God, and
God's Standard Is Perfection. Without repenting of your sin, and accepting
God's Free Love Gift, you will enter the torment of Hell at
The Moment Of Your Death, and be sentenced at
The Judgment Of The Great White Throne to
suffer in The Lake Of Fire for all Eternity, where
Eternal Torment, Not A Joke.
You Can't Take It With You, But Can Send It On Ahead
At The Moment Of Your Death, every bit of wealth, possessions, etc. that you accumulated through
your life on Earth will be left behind. People have been deceived into thinking they can put certain things in their coffins, and that it'll go
with them to ''the other side''. Truth be told, only Heaven Or Hell is where you go the moment your
heart stops beating...and everyone is One Heartbeat Away from Death. For those who repent of their sin,
and accept God's Free Love Gift, the works they do for The Lord are
''sent ahead'', and they'll be rewarded at The Bema Judgment Seat Of Christ.
Tragically, for those who choose to reject The Lord, the only thing sent ahead will be their sins...including
The One Sin Unforgiven...and that will send them to
The Home Of The Damned forever.
I Know That My Redeemer Lives
Based on Job 19:25, and a companion poem to both my Statement Of Faith, and
Seven Fundamental Truths That I Do Believe,
I know that My Redeemer, Christ Alone, the
King Of Kings, And Lord Of Lords, is alive and well, and that
The Lord Is In Control,
The Lord Is Not Surprised by anything in His Creation, and
The Lord Is Not Politically Correct, and
I Stake My Eternity On Christ. If you have not yet
repented of your sin, and accepted God's Free Love Gift,
I pray that you will do so before The Moment Of Your Death,
for After Death, Belief Too Late to change
Your Eternal Destiny.
If You See The Man Of Sin, You've Been Left Behind
Many times throughout history, people have attributed the title of Antichrist,
The Counterfeit Prince Of Peace to many people...including religious
leaders, empirical despots, etc. The truth is, the identity of the most evil person that will ever walk the Earth,
won't be revealed until after the Rapture Of The Church. While this person...
who will ultimately be Satan Incarnate...may be alive on Earth at this moment...the truth is that you DON'T
want to know who he is!! Because His Truth Refused, God Sends Delusion,
and the world will believe the lie that when he first appears, he is ''the saviour of the world''. But, in reality, he
will ultimately make the regimes of Hitler, Mao, and Stalin, among others...pale by comparison.
And, if you do realize his identity, you will realize that you were LEFT BEHIND when millions of people,
dead and alive, vanished from planet Earth, in the Rapture Of The Church.
The Lord Does Not Want You To Go To Hell
The title of this poem says it all. But, while The Lord does not want you to go to Hell, and
The Lord Did All He Could To Save Your Soul,
He will NOT force you to accept His Free Love Gift.
Your Eternal Destiny depends upon your choice.
The Blood Of Jesus Cleanses From All Sin
Based on 1 John 1:7, the Precious Blood Of Christ Alone
is sufficient to cleanse the repentant sinner from every sin they've ever done or will do...once they accept
God's Free Love Gift. We're saved on what we believe...NOT how we behave...however,
According To The Scriptures, ''If any one is in Christ, they are a new creature...
The Old Things Are Passed Away, and all things are become new''; and
we're admonished Don't Crucify The Lord Again...as no further sacrifice is
necssary. However, those who are just Going Through The Motions will find out that
Lip Service Isn't Good Enough
When You Stand Before The Lord.
God Gives Grace To The Humble; He Resists The Proud
Based on James 4:6, those who are prideful and self-righteous, as the Pharisees of Jesus' day...will find out too late that they are part of
Those Not In God's Kingdom. While the Pharisee, who boasted of his deeds to be seen of men...the
publican, couldn't even lift his face toward Heaven. But, he simply prayed ''God, have mercy on me, a sinner''. Unlike the Pharisee, the publican went home
justified before The Lord. Those who repent of their sins, and receive God's Free Love Gift,
realize that they are undeserving...and are Humbled And In Awe before The Lord. Unfortunately,
those who are full of pride, and believe The Doom Of Satan's Lie, and think that God will automatically let them into Heaven,
will find out too late that Heaven Is Not Owed To You upon The Moment Of Your Death.
The Lord, He Grades Upon The Cross, And Not Upon A Curve
Unlike the grading system in school, where a ''curve'' is in place to make grades seem better than they really are;
God's Standard Is Perfection, and the one standard that The Lord will grade your
life on is whether or not you accepted God's Free Love Gift...as that is
The Only Thing That Matters at The Judgment.
All My Prayers Are Only To The Lord
A companion poem to I Worship Only Jesus Christ...
Christ Alone, The King Of Kings And Lord Of Lords
is not just the ONLY Way To Heaven...but He is the ONLY One who hears every word you speak, and every prayer you
pray. If you're praying to statues, idols, objects, people (dead or alive), or other ''gods''...and expecting them to hear
and act on your prayer, you're basically wasting your time.
Followers Of Satan's Ways Will One Day Get The Shaft...because
There Is None Beside The Lord. Only repenting of your sin, and only by accepting
God's Free Love Gift by praying with the attitude of The Sinners Prayer
with a contrite heart...will you escape The Home Of The Damned upon
The Moment Of Your Death.
The Spirit Says, In The Last Days
Based on 1 Timothy 4:1-3, The Holy Spirit says that in the last days, some will depart from the faith,
giving heed to seducing spirits and doctrines of demons. This poem lists many of the things these people
will embrace as ''gospel''...yet these are totally contrary to The Word Of God. Those who are part of this group
will find that they are part of Those Not In God's Kingdom, as at
The Judgment Of The Great White Throne, Christ will say to these
''Depart From Me, For You I've Never Known. These will spend
Eternity in The Lake Of Fire, with Satan, his demonic hordes,
The Counterfeit Prince Of Peace, The False Prophet, and everyone else
who rejected God's Free Love Gift.
His Blood Be On Us, And On Our Children, Too
Based on Matthew 27:24-25, the angry mob wanting Pontius Pilate to crucify Jesus Christ, replied
this statement when Pilate said ''I am innocent of the Blood of this Just Man''. Ironically, the words
were prophetic...in that The Blood Of Jesus Cleanses From All Sin,
and Christ Alone, the King Of Kings, And Lord Of Lords
was to shed His Precious Blood in His Death on that Old Rugged Cross, for every sin that would ever be
committed by those who would ever live...for ''without the shedding of Blood, there is no remission for sin (Hebrews 9:22).
Those who repent of their sin, and accept God's Free Love Gift will have
The Blood Of Christ applied to them, and their sins will be washed away. However, those who spurn The Blood Of Christ,
trampling it underfoot, will regret their choice for all Eternity.
Christ's Love, And Our Sins, Held Him To The Cross
It wasn't the ropes or nails, around and through, Christ's Hands and Feet, that held Him to The Cross on which He was crucified.
In reality, it was His Love, and our sins that held Him there. Having no sin Himself, The Lamb Of God,
Christ Alone, the King Of Kings, And Lord Of Lords,
God In The Flesh, became a Divine Substitute...and was scourged and crucified for the sins of every man and woman that would ever
walk the face of the Earth. While The Blood Of Jesus Cleanses From All Sin, and
God's Free Love Gift is a Free Gift To All Who Would Receive It,
the act itself should be enough to cause everyone to repent and bow before The Lord in confession, humility, and gratitude for what He did,
and serve Him all the days of their earthly lives. Those who do will spend Eternity in
The Home Of The Redeemed, where joy will never end.
But, Sadly, Not All Will Repent, trampling His Blood underfoot...and these will be
sentenced at The Judgment Of The Great White Throne to The Lake Of Fire,
The Home Of The Damned, for all Eternity,
where They Shall Be Tormented Day And Night.
It's A Fearful Thing To Fall Into The Lord's Hands
Based on Hebrews 10:31, those who refuse to repent of their sin, and God's Free Love Gift
will realize too late the truth of the words of this poem. The Lord not only sees every deed that is done...
but He also knows every motive, word, and thought that led to the deed...good or evil.
The Lord Is Not Surprised by anything that occurs in all of
Creation...but the unrepentant will find that It'll Be A Shock One Day
when they stand before The Lord at The Judgment Of The Great White Throne,
and they'll be condemned to The Lake Of Fire, The Home Of The Damned, for all
Eternity...and They Shall Be Tormented Day And Night.
Salvation Is A Gift, Not Earned Or Bought
A companion poem to You Can't Earn God's Salvation;
with the exception of Biblical Christianity, the world's religions say you can ''earn'' or ''buy'' your way to Heaven.
But, as the title of this poem notes, ''Salvation is a Gift, not earned or bought''. While some may consider the graphic
at the bottom of this websites homepage as false...
Salvation is a free gift to all who would receive it. The Bible notes that Your Righteousness As Filthy Rags;
literally bloody menstrual cloths before The Lord. Just One Sin Will Send Your Soul To Hell, and
Just One Thing Will Save Your Soul...by repenting of your
sin, and accepting God's Free Love Gift.
Your Eternal Destiny depends upon your choice.
God's Riches At Christ's Expense: The Meaning Of Grace
Someone once said ''the meaning of Grace is God's Riches At Christ's Expense''. Christ, who knew no sin,
became sin for us...dying in our place on an Old Rugged Cross...and rose again
the third day According To The Scriptures, to complete the
victory won for all who would repent of their sin, and God's Free Love Gift.
No One Knows The Things God Has Prepared for those who love Him...but
the redeemed will one day rule and reign with Christ...partakers of the riches of His Kingdom that
will never end. While God's Grace is undeserved, it's a License To Serve, Not License To Sin;
as it's the least we could do for Him. If you have not yet repented of your sin, and
accepted God's Free Love Gift,
Sinner, Seek The Lord Today, While He May Be Found. For
After Death, Belief Too Late, and you will
regret the choice of spurning this Grace for all Eternity.
Our Sufferings Now Do Not Compare With Glory That Awaits
Based On Romans 8:17-19, those who have accepted God's Free Love Gift,
many of these throughout history have been mocked, scorned, laughed at, persecuted, tortured, and even murdered for
proclaiming that Christ Alone, the King Of Kings And Lord Of Lords
is the ONLY Way To Heaven...and that Salvation Is A Free Gift, Not Earned Or Bought.
While these suffer persecution as Our Lord did, No One Knows The Things That God Has Prepared
for those who love and serve Him...and when the Redeemed get to glory, the title of this poem will ring true...and as the classic
hymn notes...''It Will Be Worth It All''. Tragically for those who refuse God's Free Love Gift,
the sufferings on this earth will pale in comparison after they die, when they discover that the subject of
Eternal Torment, Not A Joke in The Home Of The Damned
for all Eternity.
If The Lord Marks Sins There, Who Shall Stand??
Based On Psalm 130:3, the answer to this question is NONE...EXCEPT for those who repent of their
sin, and accept God's Free Love Gift.
God's Standard Is Perfection,
Just One Sin Will Send Your Soul To Hell, and
Just One Thing Will Save Your Soul...and it is
The Only Thing That Matters When You Stand Before The Lord.
If The Gospel's Hidden There, It's Hidden To The Lost
Based On 2 Corinthians 4:3, those who have not yet repented of their sin, and accepted God's Free Love Gift,
have been spiritually blinded by Satan and his demon hordes...so they can not see the Gospel Light, which would outshine the darkness of sin in their lives.
Satan And His Hordes Want You To Burn, and would prefer that you listen to
Other Gospels Preached, rather than The Preaching Of The Cross.
But, When You Stand Before The Lord, your answer to the question of
''What Will You Do With Jesus Christ??'' determines
Your Eternal Destiny...either
Heaven Or Hell...either
The Home Of The Redeemed, or
The Home Of The Damned.
Jesus Christ Is God Almighty, With Unlimited Power
The title of the poem says it all. Though at times, it seems throughout history, that sin has gained the upper hand...
The Lord Is In Control, The Lord Is Never Late, and
The Lord Is Not Surprised by what goes on throughout Creation. Creator of the universe, He's
The Alpha And Omega...knowing the Beginning from the End. While
Like A Roaring Lion, looking who he may devour...Satan is
LIMITED on what he can actually do by The Lord's Restraining Hand and Power. And, one day in The Lake Of Fire
for all Eternity...Satan, his demon hordes, and everyone else who
refused to repent of their sins and accept God's Free Love Gift, they will bow
down in The Home Of The Damned, and declare that Jesus Christ Is Lord,
to the Glory Of God The Father. On the other hand, those who accept God's Free Love Gift
will rule and reign with Him for all Eternity.
Self Is Navigating...The Acronym For Sin
Acronyms are a way to abbreviate long sayings...for example, SBC for the Southern Baptist Convention.
The use of these abbreviations makes it easier in writing articles, etc., without having to list the entire meaning of the group, etc. each time.
For sin, ''the breaking of The Law'' (1 John 3:4), a perfect acronym would be ''Self Is Navigating''...the individual is
directing the affairs of their life, answering the question of Who Is Seated Upon Your Life's Throne??.
For if Christ Alone is not your Saviour and Lord, take heed that
Tomorrow Is Promised To No One, and
After Death, Belief Too Late to change
Your Eternal Destiny.
God Is Not A Man, That He Should Lie
Based on Numbers 23:19, God is Holy, Righteous, and Perfect. He can NOT sin, lie, or go back on His Word.
Everything that has been prophesied has been, or will be fulfilled, as The Alpha And Omega,
knows the beginning from the end, and everything in between. The Lord Is Not Surprised by
anything that has occurred, or has yet to occur, throughout Eternity. Even before the foundation of
the world, God knew that mankind would rebel, and would need a Saviour...in the Person of His Son, Jesus Christ...who was like us in all ways,
except WITHOUT sin. He chose to come to Earth, to be born of a Virgin, to live and walk among us,
then be scourged and crucified on an Old Rugged Cross...to rise again The Third Day According To The Scriptures,
and that one day, He will return to rule and reign in Power and Glory. Those who repent of their sin, and accept
God's Free Love Gift will rule and reign with Him one day.
Those who refuse, will hear the horrifying words at The Judgment Of The Great White Throne...
''Depart From Me...For You, I've Never Known.
Israel Shall Stand Alone One Day
The world sees Israel and the Jew as ''the source of all its problems''...and truly,
Jerusalem, A Burdensome Stone has drawn the ire of the
entire world. One day, every one who has been Touching The Apple Of God's Eye
will feel the Wrath of God in Judgment. After the Rapture Of The Church,
as prophesied by Ezekiel...Russia, the Muslims, and others will attack Israel...which by
this time, will be ALONE in the battle. But, there will be Intervention By The Lord
that saves Israel from certain destruction. At the end of The Time Of Jacob's Trouble,
Israel will see the error of their ways, and call upon the King Of Kings, And Lord Of Lords,
Jesus Christ, Their Messiah, to save them...and He will, with His Return to Earth. With the
Millenium Of Peace, the hour of persecution for Israel, and God's Chosen People,
the Jews, will be finished forever...and they will receive all the blessings promised to them, since the time of Abraham (Genesis 12).
Those who repent of their sin, and accept God's Free Love Gift, will receive these
blessings as well. Sadly, Not All Will Repent...including those bent on seeing the
destruction of Israel...and they will spend Eternity in
The Home Of The Damned.
The Lord Is A Witness To Everything You Do
A companion poem to A Life On Trial,
Your Life Is Being Recorded, and
No Question Of Guilt, among others...
everything you do or think...hidden, in the open, discussed with others, or kept to yourself...
The Lord sees every aspect of your deeds...motives, words, and thoughts.
God's Standard Is Perfection, and
You'll Answer Only For Yourself
When You Stand Before The Lord one day...
giving an account for all of these...including Every Idle Word That's Spoken There.
No One Gets Off Scot Free at The Judgment,
and what you do with God's Free Love Gift will determine whether you are at
The Bema Judgment Seat Of Christ, or
The Judgment Of The Great White Throne...
and whether your Your Eternal Destiny is
Heaven or Hell.
Without Holiness In Life, No One Will See The Lord
Based on Hebrews 12:14, Just One Sin Will Send Your Soul To Hell, and
God's Standard Is Perfection. Being holy means ''set apart for God''...but
with mans sin nature, everyone is destined for The Home Of The Damned,
unless they repent of sin, and accept God's Free Love Gift.
When one truly does that, and is not just Going Through The Motions,
there is no condemnation to those in Christ Jesus (Romans 8:1)...and these are seen by God as
righteous as His Son, Christ Alone,
the King Of Kings, And Lord Of Lords.
These will not only see The Lord one day, but rule and reign with Him forever. By contrast,
those who reject God's Free Love Gift, will regret
their choice for all Eternity. While they will see The Lord,
it will be at The Judgment Of The Great White Throne...
just before they are sentenced to The Lake Of Fire for all Eternity...
and they will see that Eternal Torment, Not A Joke.
The Lord Is In His Holy Temple There
Based On Habakkuk 2:20, The Lord is in His Holy Temple there, and all the Earth is to keep silence before Him,
because compared to His Righteousness, everyone on Earth is Without Excuse.
Since God's Standard Is Perfection, and with The Curse Of Sin On Planet Earth
is means that without repentance, and faith in Christ Alone to save you,
Without Holiness In Life, No One Will See The Lord. However,
One Day, On Bended Knee, everyone will face The Lord...at either
The Bema Judgment Seat Of Christ for those who have repented of their
sins, and accepted God's Free Love Gift...or
The Judgment Of The Great White Throne, for
those who have rejected The Grace Of God.
One Day, Heaven's Gates, Forever Close
A companion poem to God Will Not Wait Forever...one day,
The Grace Of God will end...and no one else will be allowed
to enter Heaven. If You Wait 'Til It's Too Late, you'll find that you're
The One To Blame, and you'll be
Without Excuse When You Stand Before The Lord.
The Warning
A companion poem to You Can't Say That You Weren't Warned,
God warned people throughout history the consequences of disobeying His Words, and
The Commandments Ten...as well as warning every single person
on Earth of what would happen, if they refused to accept God's Free Love Gift,
in the Person of His Son, Jesus Christ, King Of Kings, and Lord Of Lords,
as their Lord and Saviour. Will you heed this warning, or ignore it at your eternal peril??
Why Satan And The World Both Hate The Jews
Throughout history, it seems that nearly everyone has hated the Jews, God's Chosen People.
This poem, from the Truth of God's Word, gives the reasons why not only the world, but Satan and
his demon hordes hate both the Jews, and the nation of Israel. This hatred can best be summed up
in three ways:
1) It was through the Patriarch, Abraham, and his children, Isaac and Jacob, that the twelve tribes of Israel, would be born.
2) Through the Jews, much of God's Word, The Books Of The Bible, was penned.
3) Through the Jews, Christ Alone, God's Only Begotten Son, would come into the world,
to die on an Old Rugged Cross for the sins of mankind, and be resurrected on The Third Day,
According To The Scriptures. Those who repented of their
sin, and accepted God's Love Gift would be FREED from
the power of sin over their eternal destiny.
Also, According To The Scriptures, even though the Jews broke
the Covenant God gave them time after time, The Promised Land and The Covenant that God gave to them
is theirs FOREVER. In the last days, Jerusalem, A Burdensome Stone
to the nations of the world will end up bringing The Judgment of
God upon them. Plus, just prior to The Coming Of Christ
to Earth a second time, The Believing Remnant of Jews will realize the
error of their ways so long ago, and cry ''Blessed Is He Who Comes In The Name Of The Lord''...which marks the
point When Christ Returns To Planet Earth.
Satan and his demon hordes, along with the rest of the world, want to make God out as a liar...by totally
destroying the Jews...in essence, the title of this poem. However, all their evil schemes will be for nothing,
as Christ will return to Earth, to rule and reign in power and glory, with the
Millenium Of Peace. Only those who repent of their sin,
and accept God's Free Love Gift will rule and reign with Him.
Those who refuse, will face The Lord at The Judgment Of The Great White Throne,
and be sentenced to The Lake Of Fire, The Home Of The Damned,
for all Eternity.
These Things You Shall Not Do
In growing up, you probably remember many times, your parents telling you ''not to do something,
or you'll pay the consequences''...such as putting your hand on a hot stove burner. And just like caring parents,
God The Father tells all mankind...men, women, boys, and girls...that there are certain things you shall not do.
While this poem is not an exhaustive reference of things that ''Thus Saith The Lord'', from
The Books Of The Bible...many things, including
The Commandments Ten...are here. Sadly,
one thing that may say that ''they shall not do'' is repent of their sin, and
accept God's Free Love Gift. To those who decide
to make this choice, they will face The Lord at The Judgment Of The Great White Throne,
and be sentenced to The Lake Of Fire, The Home Of The Damned,
for all Eternity.
Worthy Is The Lamb For Sinners Slain
Based On Revelation 5:12, this is the cry of praise from all the redeemed in Heaven to Jesus Christ,
God In The Flesh, the Precious Son Of God, who lived a perfect,
sinless life, dying for all on an Old Rugged Cross, and rising again on The Third Day
According To The Scriptures. Christ Alone,
the King Of Kings And Lord Of Lords is the ONLY One to whom ALL
Praise, Honor, Glory, Worship, and Blessing are due. He also the only one permitted to open the
Seals, Bowls, And Trumpets of God's Wrath upon the Earth.
The believers will also cast down The Five Eternal Crowns that
they receive...no matter the number...at the feet of Jesus Christ, saying that
Lord, You Deserve These Crowns Much More Than Me.
However, unless you have repented of your sin, and accepted God's Free Love Gift,
you will NOT be part of this group.
Lord, You Deserve These Crowns Much More Than Me
A companion poem to The Five Eternal Crowns...that will be awarded to the redeemed at
The Bema Judgment Seat Of Christ, all those who have repented of their sin,
and accepted God's Free Love Gift, will bow before His Throne,
proclaiming in worship that Worthy Is The Lamb For Sinners Slain...and realize
that they are UNDESERVING of anything...including The Grace Of God. As a
result, they will say the title of this poem...truly that The Lord deserves the crowns more than them.
However, unless you have repented of your sin, and accepted God's Free Love Gift,
you will NOT be part of this group.
The Signs Of A Cult
As the old saying goes, ''Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery''. However, in the case of ''faiths'', Satan,
Like A Roaring Lion, has set up numerous religions, faiths, etc., to spread
the concept that ''there are many ways to Heaven and Salvation''. However, that will turn out to be
The Doom Of Satan's Lie. In these various groups, there are several
signs that qualify it as a ''cult''...including The Changing Of God's Word
(adding to, or removing from it) to suit their desires...stripping the Divinity of Jesus Christ, reducing Him to ''just a man'', etc.,...
denying the doctrine that ''you're saved by Grace Through Faith, And Not Of Works,...
dividing the loyalty of their followers,...and denying that God's Word Is Final Authority,...
among other things. Sadly, these will be part of Those Not In God's Kingdom,
and they will be horrified at The Judgment Of The Great White Throne,
when Christ Alone, the King Of Kings, And Lord Of Lords
tells them For You, I've Never Known, before they are cast into
The Home Of The Damned, The Lake Of Fire, for all
Eternity, where
They Shall Be Tormented Day And Night.
The Sabbath Is Not Just Another Day
Christ Alone, the Second Person in The Holy Trinity
(God The Father, Jesus Christ The Son, The Holy Spirit), created the universe in six days. Then, on the
seventh day, He rested...not because He was tired...but because Creation was perfect and complete, and
nothing more needed to be done. He declared the seventh day to be the Sabbath, a Holy Day, for not only for
rest, but where worship of The Lord, the study of The Books Of The Bible,
is PRIMARY. However, after our first parents, Adam and Eve, in the Garden Of Eden, sinned against God,
The Curse Of Sin On Planet Earth has basically transformed
the Sabbath into ''just another day during the week'', for either work to earn money, play, or anything except
for what it was originally designed for. However, one of The Commandments Ten
says that ''We are to remember the Sabbath Day, to keep it Holy''. And, as God's Holy Word notes,
if we break one part of God's Law, we have broken ALL of it. And, like it or not, it's true that
For All Have Sinned, and come short of God's Glory.
God's Standard Is Perfection, all
Your Righteousness As Filthy Rags before The Lord,
and only by repenting of your sin, and accepting God's Free Love Gift,
will you be allowed to enter Heaven at The Moment Of Your Death.
God's Glory Won't Be Shared With Anyone
Based on Isaiah 42:8, The Power, Majesty, Righteousness, and Glory (among other things) of The Lord God of all Creation,
will NOT be shared with anyone...whether angels or mankind. His Ways are not our ways, and it's not because The Lord
has an ''ego'' as most of reprobate, sinful mankind does. It is because He is Creator of all things, and to whom we
owe the highest form of reverence, love, obedience, and worship...because
The Lord, He Did Command His Love To All, in
that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us, and He rose again the Third Day,
According To The Scriptures. However,
throughout the centuries, many have tried to usurp or steal God's Glory, and have met with grave consequences.
Starting with Lucifer, the covering cherub (who originally guarded the Throne Of God), he led one third of the angelic realm
in revolt against The Lord. Lucifer became Satan (the accuser/the adversary), his beaten army of angels were changed into
demons...and all of them were cast out of Heaven. Hell Was Meant For Satan, and his
demonic hordes, and not for mankind. But, after he deceived our first parents, Adam and Eve, in the Garden Of Eden,
everyone developed a sin nature. It was shown through The Books Of The Bible, that
For All Have Sinned, and The Curse Of Sin On Planet Earth
continues to this day, with The Groaning Of Creation.
This lesson, and so many others, in The Books Of The Bible...
including that one is saved by Grace Through Faith, And Not Of Works...
are things that everyone would be well to learn, and heed. Your Eternal Destiny
is determined on what you do with God's Free Love Gift.
Once You Close Your Eyes In Death, Eternal Fate Is Sealed
A companion poem to There Is No Second Chance, once you close
your eyes in death, you have reached The Point Of No Return,
concerning Your Eternal Destiny. Depending on what you did with
God's Free Love Gift, it will either be
The Home Of The Damned, or
The Home Of The Redeemed. And,
if you chose to reject God's Free Love Gift,
There Will Be No Appeal There,
When You Stand Before The Lord.
Tomorrow Is Promised To No One,
and Your Decision Will Be Honored,
by the Choices that you made.
You've Broken One Of God's Laws, Friend; You've Broken Every One
Based on James 2:10, God's Standard Is Perfection...and if you've broken
JUST ONE of His Laws, or just one law on Earth...you are GUILTY OF BREAKING EVERY LAW. And because there will
be No Question Of Guilt When You Stand Before The Lord,
if this one single blotch of sin is on your record, you will spend Eternity in
The Home Of The Damned. The only way to get that blotch removed is to truly
repent of sin, and accept God's Free Love Gift.
I Glory In The Cross Of Christ, And Nothing That I've Done
Based on Galatians 6:14, the only thing that I can glory and rejoice in is The Cross Of Christ.
Both Mine, and Your Righteousness As Filthy Rags, and nothing that anyone can do,
except repent of their sin, and accept God's Free Love Gift, will get them into
Heaven, The Home Of The Redeemed. Those who are
''Christians In Name Only'', without true repentance and faith, will hear the terrifying words from
The Lord Jesus Christ Himself at The Judgment Of The Great White Throne...
''Depart From Me...For You, I've Never Known''.
There Is No Fear Of God Before Their Eyes
Based On Romans 3:18, there is no fear (respect, reverence) of God before the eyes of the unsaved. They feel that they can do whatever they want,
and there won't be any consequences...either in this life, or at The Moment Of Their Death.
But, God's Judgment Coming When Least Expected, and the fear of God for
the lost will be at The Judgment Of The Great White Throne, when Christ Alone,
the King Of Kings And Lord Of Lords, will be
The Worst Nightmare There Faced.
If You Sow The Wind, My Friend; The Whirlwind, You'll Reap (Hosea 8:7)
Based On Hosea 8:7, those sowing the winds of sin, they'll reap the whirlwinds of it, like a massive category 5 hurricane or tornado.
While it may start as a soft breeze at first, like an approaching hurricane or tornado, the winds of sin ramp up until they engulf you.
And, at The Moment Of Your Death, which will come without warning...just like realizing the
hurricane or tornado is upon you, you'll realize there is no escape. Some have related the sounds of a being in the eyewall of a hurricane,
or the center of a tornado, to be akin to ''demons screaming''...and that's exactly what will await you in The Home Of The Damned,
unless you repent of your sin, and accept God's Free Love Gift.
Simplicity Of Gospel Truth, Many Do, Reject
The One Thing God Requires is to ''Believe On The One He Has Sent'';
Christ Alone, who left the Glory of Heaven, to come to Earth, to be
born of a Virgin, to live like us in all ways, EXCEPT WITHOUT SIN, to die on an Old Rugged Cross, and rise
from the dead on the Third Day, According To The Scriptures. Yet, many
people think you have to add works, pay money, belong to a certain church, etc. to be acceptable to God. The thing is,
Your Righteousness As Filthy Rags...literally bloody, menstrual cloths...
and there is NOTHING we can do to earn Salvation, except for what is noted above. And, sadly, because of the
simplicity of the Gospel Truth, many will reject it. And, those who do, will be Destined For The Lake Of Fire,
to spend Eternity in The Home Of The Damned, with Satan, his demonic hordes,
and everyone else who rejected God's Free Love Gift.
What A Difference There Will Be In Twinkling Of An Eye
The imminent Rapture Of The Church will occur in ''atomos'' of time...a moment of time so fast,
that it can not be humanly divided. It'll occur faster than the time it takes for a neuro-electrical synapse firing in the brain
to occur...and faster than the time it takes from light to enter the eye and strike the retina. Some have said it'll be even faster than 1/1000th of
second. In that flash of time, when they hear the trumpet blast, the shout from The Lord, and The Cry
''Behold, The Bridegroom Comes'', all those since the day of Pentecost, who have put their faith in
Christ Alone to save them...both dead and alive...will be removed from the Earth to join Christ in the Heavens. The dead in
Christ will be resurrected from their graves first. Then, those alive in Christ who remain, will rise...and both groups will be instantly changed into incorruptible flesh,
in their new resurrection bodies that will never again grow old, gain weight, get sick, need to eat, drink, sleep, or deal with the curse of sin, or its wages...death. And,
in that moment of time, all of these will rise up to meet The Lord in the air, and immediately head to
The Home Of The Redeemed, where
The Bema Judgment Seat Of Christ will occur.
In that same instant, the restraint of evil by The Holy Spirit will end, as
The Time Of Jacob's Trouble, descends upon the Earth,
ruled by The Counterfeit Prince Of Peace, which will bring a
time of evil that the world has never seen. There is no prior event that must occur before
The Rapture Of The Church...an event that is growing
Closer By The Second...and as fast
As Lightning Comes From East To West.
There Is No Second Chance after death to accept
God's Free Love Gift, and no chance to be part of
The Rapture after it occurs. But,
If You Wait 'Til It's Too Late, you'll find that
you alone are The One To Blame.
Satan, Father Of All Lies, Speaks His Language, There (John 8:44)
Based on John 8:44, Satan, the father of all lies, speaks his native language. He was a liar and murderer from the
beginning, and the Truth of God's Word is not in him. He does this, because if he spoke the truth, people would flee
from him, like the plague!! Originally the covering cherub, Lucifer, filled with pride,
and deceived one third of the angelic realm into thinking they could overthrow The Lord. They were promptly cast out
of Heaven, with Lucifer becoming Satan...the accuser, and the adversary. His beaten army of beautiful angels were changed
into horrific looking demons. Their next target was to deceive Adam and Eve, our first parents in The Garden Of Eden,
and as before, he deceived them into a lie that ''God was holding out on them''. They were cast out of The Garden Of Eden,
as The Curse Of Sin On Planet Earth began to take hold, spreading like wildfire.
Just as today, the plague of sin got so bad, that As In The Days Of Noah, God had
to execute Judgment on the world. Millions died in the Flood of Noah...and over the centuries, millions more have died in their sin,
and gone to The Home Of The Damned, as they chose to believe the lies of Satan,
rather than The Preaching Of The Cross, and the need to accept
God's Free Love Gift.
Who Offends These Little Ones, Who Believe In Me (Matthew 18:6)
Based on Matthew 18:6, stern words of warning from Christ Alone;
that those guilty of offending those preaching the witness of The Gospel Truth, or destroying the innocence of little children...
whether by kidnapping, molestation, abuse, abortion, etc.; it'd be better for them at The Judgment
that they were sentenced to death upon Earth, by having a millstone put about their neck, and they were drowned in the deepest ocean.
Children Are A Heritage Of The Lord, and ''such is The Kingdom Of God''.
And, those who reject The Gospel Truth, are not just rejecting those who are sharing it, as The Lord commanded...
they are rejecting The Lord as well. And, if they remain unrepentant of their sin, at
The Judgment Of The Great White Throne, The Lord will be
The Worst Nightmare There Faced by each of these who refused
God's Free Love Gift.
If People Knew The Truth Of Satan's Real Identity
If people really saw Satan...who is Like A Roaring Lion, moving about, seeking whom
he may devour and destroy...for what he REALLY is...they would NOT stay around him, but they would flee in terror!!
But, to mask the truth of his real identity, Satan, Father Of All Lies, Speaks His Native Tongue,
working to keep people from hearing The Preaching Of The Cross, and to make them think
they have plenty of time to accept God's Free Love Gift. But, he does not tell them that
The Moment Of Your Death will come WITHOUT WARNING, and that
Tomorrow Is Promised To No One...let alone the next 5 seconds.
There Is No Second Chance after death, and only one of two destinations...
Heaven Or Hell...either
The Home Of The Redeemed, or
The Home Of The Damned will be your
home for all Eternity...depending on whether or not you accepted
God's Free Love Gift.
Satan's Forces Cannot Cross The Line Of Christ's Blood, Shed
Satan, and all the hosts of Hell, are so blinded by their insane depravity, that they still think they can do whatever they desire,
in causing grief, destruction, etc. to destroy what The Lord created. Indeed,
The Curse Of Sin On Planet Earth has resulted in
The Groaning Of Creation, and it's getting worse by the day.
However, Satan and his demonic hordes are actually ''on a Divine Leash''...and can only do what The Lord allows.
And, no matter what they do...just like the red light at a traffic signal, they can NOT
cross The Line that Christ's Blood, shed. The Blood Of Jesus Cleanses From All Sin,
and once someone truly repents, and accepts God's Free Love Gift, that
Christ Alone, is the ONLY way to Heaven, that
Your Righteousness Is As Filthy Rags,
''There is now no condemnation to those in Christ Jesus'' (Romans 8:1). However,
God's Riches At Christ's Expense (Grace) is a
License To Serve, Not License To Sin.
What Will You Do With Jesus Christ will determine both
What Will Christ Jesus Say To You
When You Stand Before The Lord.
All Those Missing From The Earth, On The Rapture Day
There will be Tragedy At Rapture, as
The Rapture Will Occur So Fast, that there
will be a large contingent of souls, dead and alive missing from the Earth, in the amount of
time it takes to blink ones eye...or faster than it takes from light in a distant star in the night
sky to enter the eye, and strike the retina. From the unborn children in the womb, from conception to birth...to
the many who have gone on before, many martyred in the cruelest ways imaginable...to the children who have not yet
reached the age of accountability for their soul...to those who are alive and remain, with faith in
Christ Alone to save them...NOT in a church, works, etc.,
In Twinkling Of An Eye, The Rapture Comes.
To Those Left Behind On Earth,
The Time Of Jacob's Trouble, led by
The Counterfeit Prince Of Peace, will bring
a time of horror such as the world has never seen...starting with The Rapture Of The Church.
Whether or not you join this throng of what will be ''the missing'' is whether or not you accept
God's Free Love Gift before the Rapture occurs.
The Most Important Day
The most important day in ones life, is not the day of their birth, their engagement, their
marriage, or their death. The most important day is when they repented of their sin, and
accepted Jesus Christ as their Lord and Saviour.
If you have not yet had this most important day in your life, you need to do so before
The Moment Of Your Death...as
Your Eternal Destiny depends on it.
The Lord, He Did It Just For You
Even though millions have accepted God's Free Love Gift throughout the years,
even if you alone were the only person in eternity...Going To The Cross, The Lord, He still would have done it just for you.
The Lord Did All He Could To Save Your Soul
As the title says, The Lord did all He could to save your soul...by leaving Heaven's Glory, and coming to Earth, to
be born of a Virgin...to walk on the Earth like us in all ways...except without sin. As He was Perfect, without sin...He
was not subject to death. But, He allowed Himself to be ''beaten to a pulp'', and crucified on an Old Rugged Cross in
our place...to die, and have His Precious Blood pay for every sin that would ever be done, by everyone who would ever
walk the Earth...with the victory achieved three days later with His Resurrection. The thing is...
YOU HAVE THE RESPONSIBILITY to make a decision on whether or not you will accept
God's Free Love Gift. If you do nothing...thereby refusing to accept Him...
you AUTOMATICALLY REJECT Him...and it is a choice you that will regret for all
Eternity.
Don't Let The Lord's Death For You Be In Vain
If you choose to reject God's Free Love Gift, then The Lord's Death for your
salvation will have been in vain for you.
The Lord Has No Pleasure In The Death Of Those Who Die without Him...but
where you will spend Eternity...in
Heaven Or Hell...is a choice that you alone must make. While
Hell Was Meant For Satan and his demonic hordes...if you do nothing, in
regards to a decision for Christ...upon The Moment Of Your Death, you'll
join them in The Home Of The Damned.
If You're Offended By These Words
God's Word tells us that The Preaching Of The Cross is to them that perish...
foolishness...but to the saved, it's the Power Of God. For those who are offended by the words on this page, and in the
poems of my Gospel Poetry Collection...
The Lord, He Made The Rules...NOT ME...and if you reject
God's Free Love Gift, you will regret it for all
Eternity...in
The Home Of The Damned.
The Sinners Prayer
In this life, the most important prayer one can pray...and the most important decision one can make...is to
accept Jesus Christ as their Lord and Saviour, by praying The Sinners Prayer.
If you truly ''mean business with God''...with a repentant heart, and a contrite spirit, when you pray that prayer...you
can rest on the Authority of God's Holy Word, that you will have Eternal Life in Heaven when you die. However, if you're
just Going Through The Motions when you pray...instead of Jesus Christ
being your Best Friend at The Moment Of Your Death, He'll be the Most
Terrifying Person you'll ever face.
The Lord, He Made The Rules
The Lord Jesus Christ, Second Person in the Holy Trinity, Created the Universe...and made the ''Rules'' for life. Just
like sports games, or with traffic laws...if you break the rules, you are going to have to pay the consequences. So,
If You're Offended By These Words, don't take your anger out on me...as I
did not originate these ''prohibitions'''. It was The Lord Jesus Christ Himself who ''laid down the law'' at
Creation. However, if you get angry with God, I guarantee you that you won't get far. For if you ''push God too far'',
you will regret it Eternally.
Christ Alone
While part of The Holy Trinity, Jesus Christ Alone, God's Only Begotten Son...Created the universe...left Heaven's Glory
to be born of a Virgin in a manger...lived like us on Earth, but without sin...died on an Old Rugged Cross, rose from
the dead on The Third Day, according to the Scriptures...is coming again to rule and reign over Earth...will judge the
life of everyone who has ever lived...is the ONLY way to Heaven, and is who I'm trusting for my life...both now,
and at either The Moment Of My Death, or the
Rapture Of The Church. I pray that if you don't know Jesus Christ as your Lord
and Saviour, that through this poetry collection that God has graciously given me...you too, will see, that
Christ Alone can be the Best Friend you've ever had...or He'll be The Worst Nightmare There Faced.
For Me, To Live Is Christ, To Die Is Gain
Based on Phillippians 1:21, no matter what I may achieve while on Earth, it pales in comparison to what I'll receive at
either The Moment Of My Death, or at the
Rapture Of The Church. Even in this corruptible, sinful, flesh...it's a joy
for me to serve Christ now...as I'll gain a new, incorruptible body one day...and I'll have blessings far greater than
I ever could gain here on Earth. This Gospel Poetry Collection...done for the
Glory Of God...is designed as a ministry to those who have received
God's Free Love Gift...and a witness to those who have not. If even one
person is brought to the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ from this poetry, it will make Heaven much more joyous for
me...but, I trust His Holy Spirit to prick the heart of those who read this collection. However, just to be in Heaven
with my Elder Brother, The Lord Jesus Christ...who made it all possible...will be joy enough. I pray that if you haven't
yet received God's Free Love Gift, that you'll do so before
The Moment Of Your Death.
A Hug, A Handshake, And A Cry
When I meet The Lord Jesus Christ face to face...either at
The Moment Of My Death, or at The
Rapture Of The Church, I am going to want a hug...a handshake...and a cry.
I can NOT understand why He left the Glory Of Heaven, to come to Earth to be born of a Virgin, to live and walk
among mankind in all ways, except without sin, and to die in my place on an Old Rugged Cross...obtaining the victory
over sin and death on the Third Day according to the Scriptures. As I have greeted people on Earth, while I have done a
handshake...and maybe a hug...especially with the greeting done with
square dancing...I usually don't cry...although I did with
The Inner Beauty of the virtuous woman that The Lord gave me in the
person of my late wife. However, when I meet the One who made it all
possible for me to go to Heaven, I'm going to want to get a hug, and a handshake from The Lord...and a good cry before
Him...as I am so unworthy in His Presence. I'm sure that many of those who have
accepted God's Free Love Gift will want to do likewise. Will you be part of
this joyous occasion and group as well??
Will This Be Your Final Altar Call??
At Least One Chance Is Given There to everyone who has been born on Earth...
the one chance in their life to hear the Gospel. However, the amount of chances a person gets to repent of their sin,
and accept Jesus Christ as their Lord and Saviour, varies from person to
person. Only God Himself knows whether you have ONLY ONE, or MANY chances to make that eternal decision.
The first...or next ''altar call'' that you hear...might well be your LAST!!
Tomorrow Is Promised To No One...and, you could literally
DROP DEAD WITHOUT WARNING...with NO TIME to ask Christ to save you. Once the threshhold of
Eternity is crossed at
The Moment Of Your Death, it is TOO LATE for
Your Eternal Destiny to be changed.
The End
These two words signal the conclusion, the finality of the topic in discussion. While I hope and pray that this will
NOT be the end of my poetry collection...the fact of the matter is that either at
The Moment Of My Death...or at the
Rapture Of The Church, there will be no more poetry written, or posted. In
fact, shortly after the Rapture, this entire collection may be removed by
The Counterfeit Prince Of Peace. The writing of this poetry is a talent that
God graciously gave to me (along with many others)...and I'm using this as a witness to the lost, and a ministry to the
saved. As noted so many times in these poems, once you've read one or more of these...and if you haven't already
accepted Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour, THE END of your
chance to make that eternal decision will come at The Moment Of Your Death.
Tomorrow Is Promised To No One...please don't make the eternal mistake of
failing to make that decision, which determines where you will spend Eternity.
It'll either be in Heaven with the Redeemed, praising God...or cursing during your never ending torment in the Lake Of
Fire...the choice is YOURS.

Secular Poetry
I also wrote other poems on two of my hobbies (ham radio
(also called amateur radio), and square dancing), as well as on the
1963 Volkswagen that belonged to my late father, and did some ''public service announcements'' (PSA's). These include:
Lordy, Lordy, Look Who's 40, and
A Tribute To J.D. Kerr
The first one was written for the 40th anniversary of the
Arkansas State Square Dance Federation in 1990. I took up
square dancing as a hobby in 1985, and danced regularly until 2002.
After a 5 year hiatus, I took it up again in 2007, after the tragic, untimely death of
my wife. The second poem was done in tribute to a former caller, J.D. Kerr...
who did a lot for central Arkansas square dancing in the 1980s, until his health forced him to retire. His wife, Billie,
passed away several years ago in a nursing home...and sadly, J.D. met the same fate a few years later.
A Tribute To The Nets, and
A Tribute To Volunteer Examiners,
Forty Years Of Handi-Hams,
Hammin' In The Park,
I'm So Thankful For A Hobby, That's So Versatile And Fun,
Ode To HamTestOnline,
Ode To PCARS, and
The Pride Of Being A Ham.
I became an amateur radio operator in August, 1991...getting in under the No-Code Technician license, with
the callsign N5VLZ on Aug. 7, 1991. After the FCC dropped the Morse Code
requirement for any U.S, amateur radio license in February, 2007...and after
my wife died in April 2007; I signed up with
HamTestOnline on July 15, 2007...to study and upgrade...first to General on
July 29,2007...then to Amateur Extra, on Aug. 11, 2007...and became a
Volunteer Examiner to give amateur radio license exams. As of June 5, 2009,
I received the vanity callsign AE5WX. I've done much work in central Arkansas with Ham Radio, and continue
to do so with Echolink, Packet Radio,
as well as being a Skywarn Severe Weather Storm Spotter in central Arkansas. The
poems give an overview of the hobby...a tribute of thanks to the people at
HamTestOnline...a tribute of thanks to the people at
both the Portage County Amateur Radio Service Club in Ohio...and
Courage Handi-Hams (established in 1967...they help people with disabilities to
study for, and obtain amateur radio licenses)...a tribute to the group of the Volunteer Examiners, who give back
to the hobby, by giving amateur radio license examinations (I personally serve as a VE Team Liasion in central Arkansas,
with the ARRL/VEC group)...a tribute to the amateur radio communications nets...
which handle both emergency and routine traffic, along with discussions on a wide variety of topics.
I am also webmaster for the Cabot Nightflyers, a late evening net in the
Central Arkansas area. I am also Net Control for several nets...and lastly, a poem composed for Hammin' In The Park...a mini-Field Day setup...similar to the
Field Day event...but this is on a smaller scale. Several area ham radio operators gather at an area park a few times a year,
setup their stations and antennas, and operate. They use generators, batteries, UPS units, etc., as commercial power is
NOT used during the exercise...since in a disaster, commercial power would likely NOT be available. In a
disaster, Amateur Radio operators can ''still get through''...even if the internet, power, phone lines, cellphone towers,
or other modes of communication fail. And, there is so much to do in the hobby...65 things that one can do in amateur radio,

My Little Volkswagen
My late father was a member of a group of fellow Volkswagen owners at one time, and I wrote this poem about his car,
one he had since 1963. It was sold shortly after his death in Feb. 2007 to the
Central Arkansas Volks Folks Group.
Public Service Annoucements
I wrote two Public Service Announcements (PSAs) for Radio and Television. One was for
Good News America, God Loves You, on a local Christian Radio Station, when
I was at Geyer Springs First Baptist Church (where I was saved in 1978). It also
includes PSAs on Water Safety Classes, done by the
American Red Cross...as well as a
PSA and a poem called ''No One Asks The Engineer'', dealing with safety at
railroad crossings...proving the folly of trying to beat a train to the railroad crossing...also done by
Operation Lifesaver, and
I Brake For Trains.

Tribute Poetry
There are several ''tribute poems'' to individuals who have meant a lot to me in my life over the years...including:
Sing To The Lord A New Song
This poem was done for Donna Gosser, Worship Arts Minister, at
Second Baptist Church, Little Rock, Arkansas (my one time church home), for her 40th
birthday.
The Inner Beauty
The Good Lord brought me a virtuous woman in the person of Janice Elaine Harvey, back in 1986. We were friends for over
17 years, and had never thought of marriage, let alone to each other. We hit it off in 2002, and were married on May 18,
2003. This poem was a tribute to ''the inner beauty'' that she had. Tragically, a heart attack claimed her life on April
27, 2007...and the poem, and this website are lovingly dedicated to her
memory. We were just 3 weeks shy of our 4th wedding anniversary, when God called her home to Heaven. However, I know that either
through death or rapture, I'll see her again.
Upon Remembrance Of You, I Thank My God
Based on Phillippians 1:3, this poem was done for Gearl and Cindy Spicer, on their 5th anniversary of service at
Geyer Springs First Baptist Church, Little Rock, Arkansas...the church where I
accepted Jesus Christ as my Lord and Saviour in 1978.
Thank You
Written for Paul Sanders, now retired pastor of Geyer Springs First Baptist Church
from 1967-2002, thanking him for the work done for the Lord in his many years of service to Him there.
My Hall Of Fame
Done in the same poetic sonnet style of Springtime, this poem was written
in honor of my parents, J.D. and Betty Stout. My father went on to be with the Lord in February, 2007, after a short battle
with pancreatic cancer.
A Buddy And A Friend
Done in the same poetic sonnet style of Springtime, this poem was written
in memory of Charles ''Buddy'' Martin...who my Mom and I met at several
Clive Cussler Collectors Society Conventions
over the years. Doctor Cussler is an adventure writer, with a worldwide following, on the
New York Times Best Seller Lists,
having authored a large number of
books...including The Dirk Pitt Adventures,
The Oregon Files, and The NUMA Files, among others.
Buddy was such a joy to be around...he always had a smile, and a laugh for everyone he met.
His courage, in spite of all his adversities in life, was truly an inspiration to all who knew him.
He passed away all too soon in recent days...but his memory will live on forever, in the hearts of those who knew him.
