In defense of the Gospel of Christ Jesus


Revelation

September 9, 2011
I knelt to pray when day was done.
And prayed, "O Lord bless everyone;
Lift from each saddened heart the pain
And let the sick be well again"
And then I woke another day
And carelessly went on my way.

The whole day long I did not try
To wipe the tear from any eye;
I did not try to share the load
Of any brother on my road;
I did not even go to see
The sick man just next door to me.

Yet once again when day was done
I prayed, "O Lord, bless everyone."
But as I prayed, into my ear
There came a voice that whispered clear:
"Pause, hypocrite, before you pray,
Whom have you tried to bless today?

God's sweetest blessings always go
By hands that serve him here below."
And then I hid my face, and cried,
"Forgive me, God, for I have lied;
Let me but see another day
And I will live the way I pray."

Discourse

September 3, 2011
The day and hour I knoweth not, but this I tell you; prepare yourselves with righteousness for the field is  white and ready for harvest.
Let us raise our heads up in innocence, humbled, like a little child for the bridegroom cometh and certainly he cometh with fire.
And there appeared a wonder in heaven. A new star is born, the son of the morning!
For as lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the son of man be.
For when they shall say, pea...

The Psalm of Cong

August 17, 2011
Oh Lord, Hear my prayer. Hide not thy face from me. Judge me according to my righteousness. My heart is heavy for thy names sake. Like a tree my roots are built upon thy rock. Hear my prayer oh Lord, Forsake not thy servant. My enemies circle me round about, with their arrows do they pull back. Protect me oh Lord, let the wicked fall into their own trap. Thy judgements are just, who can abide thee? For it is written that nobody be decieved that whatsoever teacheth to do good and to edify is f...

Victory [For a good friend]

July 24, 2011
For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.( Ephesians 6:12)

For this reason, take up the whole armor of God so that you may be able to take a stand whenever evil comes. And when you have done everything you could, you will be able to stand firm.(Ephesians 6:13)

"I see no faults in the Church, and therefore let me be resurrected with the Sa...

. . . then one grand sign of the son of the son of man in heaven. but what will the world do? they will say it is a planet. a comet, & consequently the sun [Son] of man will come as the sign of coming of the son of man; is as the light of the morning cometh out of the east.1

The Psalms of King David, Father of Solomon.

July 19, 2011
As a boy David was a sheperd. His wisdom attained in youth portrays eternally in his words.

ALEPH

 Blessed are the undefiled in the way, who walk in the law of the Lord.
 Blessed are they that keep his testimonies, and that seek him with the whole heart.
 They also do no iniquity: they walk in his ways.
Thou hast commanded us to keep thy precepts diligently.
O that my ways were directed to keep thy statutes!
Then shall I not be ashamed, when I have respect unto all thy commandments.
I will praise the...
