Salvation

And how does one cope many-a year in prison Stuck in the presence of manifold idiocy? Patience with a view toward Providence: Indeed, our Lord, the God of all jails Who rules even amidst of the lawless gatekeepers And is able to console all with His Holy Spirit. Yes, the Lord of all is not […]

Their sin was a great amount And it was on this account That the anger of the Lord did burn; From recompense He would not turn (And they were, naturally, quite concerned). He stretched out His hand and struck ’em down No more! He wasn’t gonna mess around. The corpses were lyin’ in the streets […]

Concern for fame? Sounds kind o’ lame Given all that shame We all have in our sin, But I give it a think Even if I end in a stink. Not the undefeated state champ or Outstanding wrestler of the County; Not for takin’ Kathie Lee to the prom; Nor the siring of 11 model […]

(Is. 3:32 – 4:1) Finger rings, nose rings Festal robes and tunics Many purses, undergarments, turbans and veils; Dressed up all pretty, but it’s all in vain. The Lord gonna bring ’em all some pain! Tellin’ you now, it’s gonna stink; Those balding heads will turn pink! (24) You know it’s sackcloth and ashes for […]

There are those who fancy themselves “progressives” – as if they are leading the nation in some kind of progress from darkness and into light. Their unfortunate assumption, however, is that those who hold firmly to God’s Word are, really, in darkness, stuck in the past with that “ol’ timey religion” with all its archaic […]

Lord, you know it is I, The one You ought to despise, Your number one POS (Nothin’ to it but to say it and admit; I’m your number one piece o’ shit!), Back before You to declare my sin, Frail as a balloon lookin’ at a pin. Mighty glad You got the win When they […]

When you find yourself in a jam He’s better than you and I am In looks, wits and appearance. But remember at the Clearance Of all the fakery and façade When all are facing God, What will matter will be our deeds Righteousness and meeting people’s needs. You know He’s the Intercessor And He listens […]

Unlike slavery, abortion, is damned. Don’t confuse it with someone crammed Into a cage and fed quite sparsely. And though he may cry out hoarsely, He’s no where in as dire o’ straights As that baby flushed down the drain! Yeah, though he’s got chains on those ankles And may suffer whips as well rankles […]

‘Tis the proclivity of human beings To denigrate one another Whether by slavery of the past Or “women’s rights” of the present Wherein we pay for another Our own child’s life to smother. We escaped the folly of slavery The heinous stealing of men Only to fall to the greater sin Of butchering helpless babies. […]

The Second of June of 2022 Was the departure day Of Joseph Alfred Bray. His legacy to many goes down Through his works, deeds and musical sound. An example he was from day to day Of how to live that Godly way. Betty and Don were his sister and brother; Joseph his father and Liz […]

How does one engineer the production of poetry? Some prayer and contemplation, Music and some meditation. What do you say and to whom? You have always an audience in the Lord; (Unlike your friends, He never gets bored.) You pray, and then there is something to say. It may be about friends, travels or moods, […]

What to do about those babies dyin’? No standin’ aroun’ and cryin’! The likes of Beseda, Brockhoeft and Bray Say, “Hey, there ain’t no way!” When a “clinic bomber” goes to jail He’d rather be there than in hell (Not havin’ all that pain and steamin’; Plenty o’ heat and all that screamin’!) Time in […]

Piss off the wicked and arouse the just. That’s the way to live; it’s a must. Can’t sit back and be contemplatin’; Just leave the world harassed by Satan! We got that victory and got to march; Not about statues or a fancy arch. Our glory is in Him, our champion, Who died for us […]

(It happens. Rejoice!) Thanks be to God for those Who have worked so hard An end to abortion to bring, That we might rightfully God to sing Praise for our salvation. Deeds provide that confirmation That that Truth we declare Will not bring to us a snare. We know faith without works is dead But […]

(Where the remains Joseph A. Bray Jr. were installed) Went back to that Naval Academy;Been some time since I’d been there.Dad’s remains were put in a box,In a drawer the size of a fist.Yes, death will humble us all.But, thanks be to God who had the gallTo come down and take on fleshAnd make our […]

(The simple necessity for the Trinity from the standpoint of man’s salvation explained plainly for the common man and scholastic gloaters.) God, being love and existing eternally, must necessarily exist in two persons. There must be at least one subject of love and one object of love. The Son, in order to save […]

Just took a walk and it was hot; Went all around my block. Saw on the porch a few paranoiacs Wearin’ a mask without annoyance, Sittin’ quite alone with no one to commune Hopin’ a friend would come soon, I reckon. Made not a lick o’ sense, But put into mind some suspense. Who’s gonna […]

Some have a lot of flare but lack the flair To bounce that ball and jump in the air, Or take a man down on that mat And pin him for the win like that. Got to have some skill with that zeal If you want that real success to feel. Combine that skill with […]

(Caution. Not necessarily for children or pernickety adults) It cannot be denied, I am a piece o’ shit ‘Tis my confession; can’t deny it. We are sinners in the hands of a holy God, Traipsing all over His beautiful sod. I am I among this nasty congregation Unable to achieve a feasible segregation. Sin’s hold […]

Here I am at a mere seventy Saved from the pull of sin’s gravity By that blood that cannot be conquered. Time has no power to conquer; Eternity is in His hands, And He has me in His grip No matter if a I fall or trip. The Savior is invincible; No sin can conquer […]
