  • Thoughts

    I listen to
    The gentle rain
    It helps
    Keep me sane

    I lay
    In bed
    And rest
    My sleepy head

    The spirits
    Bother me
    I yearn
    To be free

    Satan is
    A defeated foe
    The gospel
    We must sow

    Demons
    Oppress me
    But Christ
    Set me free

    Sin no longer
    Defines me
    From it
    I will flee

    My sinful flesh
    I must mortify
    The Holy Spirit
    Will sanctify

  • My Day

    I was walking
    Down the street
    Overwhelmed by anxiety
    It was a great feat

    I saw a woman
    On the dole
    She had a demon
    In her soul

    I laughed
    Like a maniac
    Sadly I have
    A bad back

    I farted on
    The mailman’s face
    He thought it was
    A disgrace

    Today I am
    Half sane
    I have a
    Defective brain

  • I’m Exalted

    I am a traveler
    Of time and space
    I’m the elite
    Of the human race

    Chosen by God
    I’m one of the elect
    I’m a soul
    He did select

    I’m God’s
    Visionary
    I receive visions
    They are not contrary

    Christ appeared to me
    His radiance filled the room
    He anointed me as a high priest
    Yes, it was He from Mary’s womb

    Christ also
    Ordained me as a pastor
    Many tomes of theology
    I did master

    Accusers of the brethren
    Mock me viciously
    But I’ll have the last laugh
    As they burn for an eternity

  • Gunslinger

    It’s high noon
    The sun is
    Blazing
    It’s reflecting
    Off of the
    Sherif’spistol
    A six-shooter
    He slowly walks
    To the center
    Of town
    There he stood
    Beads of
    Perspiration
    Streamed down
    His
    Weather worn
    Face
    Suddenly
    Two desperados
    Came out
    Of the saloon
    They walk out
    To the middle
    Of the dusty
    Street
    Directly
    Opposing
    The sheriff
    A showdown
    Has begun
    Their fingers
    Twitch
    As they reach
    For their
    Pistols
    Time seems to
    Stand still
    The sheriff
    Shoots first
    He was
    A fraction
    Of a second
    Faster
    The two
    Desperados
    Collapse
    To the ground
    Each with a
    Bullet
    In their
    Hearts
    Such is life
    In the
    Wild West

  • The Heart of Darkness

    I’m a
    Missionary
    I share
    The gospel
    In the heart
    Of darkness
    Africa
    Tribes
    Were constantly
    Warring
    Famine was
    Widespread
    Paganism
    Pervaded
    The dark
    Continent
    There was
    No technology
    No schools
    No hospitals
    No businesses
    No fields
    Of knowledge
    They were
    An uneducated
    And simple
    Minded people
    Wholly ignorant
    Thank God
    Many came out
    Of the darkness
    And into
    The Light
    Of Christ
    After many
    Decades
    Africa
    Now boasts
    Over 734
    Million
    Christians
    The seeds
    Of faith
    Planted by
    The faithful
    Missionaries
    Grew into
    Mighty trees

  • My Fractured Mind

    Today, I feel insane
    I have a defective brain

    I have racing thoughts
    My mind is out of sorts

    Spirits I hear
    They cause me to fear

    Demons come into my room
    I have a foreboding sense of doom

    I feel like a sloth
    I watch a lone moth

    I have many a dissociative event
    My sanity is spent

    Hallucinations, I have galore
    They are hard to ignore

    I deal with many a delusion
    It causes me confusion

    I take my medication
    It doesn’t cause elation

    I will suffer all my life
    Mental illness causes much strife

  • 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.
