Bread or Crackers Matter Not
Some partake of crackers; Others break the bread. Some folks sip the juice; Others drink the wine. What matters most unto the Lord Is that you walk the line! You see, you got to keep it straight, Lest you get a nasty fate, Meeting up with foulest minions Down in darkness in a crate. Therefore […]

The Praises of Men
The praises of men are most ungratifying Why should we want to be the recipient of them? It is the approval of God we must seek, Him to please with hearts most meek. Seek Him first and to the last breath you breatheOnly for His approval do you writhe and seethe. From false approval take […]

The Love of Those Who Love Darkness
Those who love the darkness don’t love it as passionately as those who love the truth. Yes, the wicked are incorrigible and have their minds set upon themselves, but their love lacks the zeal of those who love God and His word. Theirs is a love like that one might have for a dissident step-child […]

Burnt Offerings of Rams
(Isaiah 1:11-19) Burnt offerings of rams And the fat of fed cattle Give the thrills of a baby’s rattle. “I don’t dig it!” says the Lord; “Your offerings are a real bore And you’re dirtying up My court! (12) Just take you trash and go home; (13) I hate your new moons and appointed feasts! (14) […]
