  • Deus Vult

    I am a Knight Templar
    The Saracens I shall devour

    I ride my white steed
    It’s a wonderful breed

    The Holy Land we shall retake
    It is war we make

    I have an army of fifty million
    We shall destroy every villain

    I give the word to launch the nukes
    It is God who rebukes

    The enemy is utterly defeated
    They are coldhearted

    Finally, Jerusalem is Christian once more
    We defeated the Satanic Whore

    God was on our side
    To victory we did ride

  • My Journey With Mental Illness

    I feel
    Rather morose
    I desperately need
    Another dose

    I take several
    Psychotropic drugs
    They make me feel
    Like a bunch of slugs

    One nasty side effect
    Is insomnia at night
    I can’t sleep
    The darkness is a fright

    I lie in bed like a
    Beached whale
    Who will save me
    From my sad tale

    All hope
    Is not lost
    Christ paid in blood
    What my salvation did cost

    The Holy Spirit
    Regenerated me
    I am now spiritually alive
    Finally, truly free

  • My Life

    I am feeling
    Rather dour
    My disposition
    Is sour

    I feel
    Very sullen
    Depression hit me
    All of a sudden

    I am lying
    In bed
    I am fatigued
    Feeling dread

    I long
    To laugh and play
    But there’ll be
    None of that today

    I can
    Barely move
    I pray
    That I can improve

    I deal with
    Psychosis
    As well as
    Neurosis

    I have delusions
    Every day
    They won’t
    Go away

    I frequently
    Hallucinate
    Having mental illnesses
    Aren’t great

  • The 7 Last Sayings of Christ on The Cross

    The seven last sayings of Christ from the cross are:

    “Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.” (Luke 23:34)

    Even though the Roman authorities brutally tortured Christ and hung Him on the cross, He knew they were acting in ignorance.

    “Today you will be with me in paradise.” (Luke 23:43)

    Jesus said this to one of the two other men who were being executed with Him. The penitent thief repented and believed Christ was the promised Messiah. He was granted repentance and faith. He was not baptized, yet Christ assured the man that today he would be in heaven with Christ. This clearly shows that we are saved by God’s unmerited sovereign grace alone, and we’re justified by faith alone.

    “Woman, behold your son!” (John 19:26-27)

    Here, Jesus commends His mother, Mary, to the Apostle John. He is entrusting her care and safety to John. After Jesus’ death and resurrection, it’s believed John and Mary traveled to Ephesus.

    “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?” (Matthew 27:46)

    In anguish on the cross, Christ experienced separation from God the Father, as He experienced God the Father’s wrath. He was separated in His humanity, not in His
    divinity.

    “I thirst!” (John 19:28)

    Jesus is very thirsty. The Romans gave him gall to drink, but Jesus spat it out.

    “It is finished!” (John 19:30)

    With this, the Old Covenant has now passed away. The New Covenant is now in effect. Man was not reconciled with God. Jesus paid the price of our salvation with His own blood. He was the sinless Lamb of God. Also, it has layers of meaning. One layer is that Christ fulfilled His role as the suffering Messiah. He came for fellow Jews, and His earthly mission was fulfilled. Another meaning is that the Gentiles’ salvation was now operative. They are grafted into the tree of faith, metaphorically speaking.

    “Father, into your hands I commit my spirit.” (Luke 23:46)

    Many Christians don’t know this. But Jesus did not die directly from His crucifixion. He willingly committed His Spirit to God the Father.

  • The Passion of Christ

    On the cross
    Jesus did hang
    Angels lamented
    In songs, they sang

    At Calvary, Christ bore
    The Father’s wrath
    This was always
    His chosen path

    Jesus died
    For humanity
    To set us
    Spiritually free

    The perfect Lamb
    Christ died for us
    He took us from
    Minus to plus

    Jesus preached
    To the captives in hell
    There they would
    No longer dwell

    On the third day
    Christ rose from the dead
    Defeating sin and death
    He is the Life Bread

  • The Orthodox and Catholic Churches: A Critical Examination

    The Catholic
    And Orthodox
    Churches
    Have errant
    Theology
    Built on
    The fallible
    and fatuous
    Traditions
    Of men
    They reject
    The singular
    Authority of
    Scripture alone
    They employ
    Fallacious
    Reasoning
    In numerous
    Teachings
    They engage
    In eisegesis
    The Catholic
    Magisterium
    Is in delirium
    It is
    Nothing more
    Then the fallible
    Opinions of
    A certain set
    Of men
    Its authority
    It is built on sand
    It is not infallible
    The Orthodox
    Rely on the
    Apostolic teachings
    Yet when compared
    To the New Testament
    Church
    That is the
    Earliest Church
    Many of the
    Orthodox Teachings
    Are not based
    In Scripture
    The Catholic
    And Orthodox
    Churches
    Relay on
    Apostolic succession
    But this is not
    A safeguard
    Against heresy
    Even in the
    Apostle Paul’s time
    He was facing
    Heresies
    In the Church
    The thing
    That truly matters
    Is whether or not
    Our doctrine
    Is rooted
    In Scripture
    The Marian teachings
    Of these two churches
    Are rife with
    Bad theology
    Also, when it comes
    To communion
    The Orthodox
    And Catholic churches
    Teach the
    Real (physical) presence
    Of Christ
    In the bread and wine
    The truth is Christ
    Was talking about
    Communion as a metaphor
    What we eat and drink
    Is spiritual food
    Not the physical
    Flesh and blood
    Of Christ
    Sacramental theology
    Has numerous errors
    We should call the members
    Of these two churches
    To sincere repentance
    And faith
    We must share
    The true gospel
    By which a child of Satan
    Became a believer in Christ
    The gospel must be spread
    Across the world
    The truly apostolic
    Teachings
    Are Reformed soteriology
    Dispensationalism
    The five Solas
    And a believer’s baptism

  • Grizzly

    I am
    A fierce
    And ferocious
    Grizzly bear
    I hibernated
    During
    The winter
    I woke up
    At the start
    Of spring
    I left
    My cozy den
    I eat salmon
    From the
    Stream
    I can
    Out run
    Out swim
    And
    Out climb
    Humans
    I roam
    The wilderness
    I am an
    Apex predator

  • Summertime in the Suburb

    The sun
    Blazes down
    Scorching
    The earth
    It blinds
    My vision
    The high
    Humidity
    Is oppressive
    I’m drenched
    In sweat
    My mouth
    Is parched
    I feel
    Disoriented
    I sip a glass
    Of ice cold
    Homemade
    Lemonade
    I go swimming
    In our pool
    The cool water
    Is refreshing
    I eat a piece
    Of juicy
    Watermelon
    I lay in
    My bed
    The air conditioner
    Is blasting
    I fall asleep
    I wake up
    Fifteen hours
    Later
    Ready for
    Another
    Summer day

  • An Autumn Stroll

    The air crackles
    With lightning
    This plasma
    Is frightening

    The pouring
    Cold rain
    Makes a comforting
    Refrain

    I watch waves ripple
    In puddles of water
    Colored leaves crunch underfoot
    Many things I ponder

    Thunder bellows
    Echoing across the park
    I yell aloud
    On a lark

    I can see
    My breath was suspended in the air
    It’s so chilly
    I don’t have a care

    I walk back home
    And warm myself by the roaring fire
    I select a book off the shelf
    It’s a play about a squire

    Soon, I fall asleep
    I dream of the park
    I’m glad I got home
    Before it was dark

  • The Chosen One

    I am the
    Chosen one
    My training
    Is done

    I am elite
    My powers grow
    I have many abilities
    Lots of knowledge I know

    I help the Church
    From the most
    Many souls I teach
    To the least

    Christ anointed me
    As a high priest
    This is a solemn role
    I do not boast

    I am a visionary
    That’s true
    God gives me visions
    They come out of the blue

    My powers grow
    By the day
    With abilities, I am replete
    I have much to say
