• 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

  • Salvation: My Journey from Darkness to Light

    I was a total
    Depraved wretch
    Salvation
    I could not fetch

    I was lost
    In my sin
    I needed
    Christ’s propitiation

    When I was 7 years old
    In 1982
    I was born again
    Salvation, I did not eschew

    God Almighty
    Regenerated me
    I was no longer Satan’s child
    I was totally free

    I was gifted
    Faith and repentance
    It is all because
    Of Christ’s magnificence

    I am now a child of God
    Through spiritual adoption
    I have a new nature
    Saved by faith, not tradition

    Now I live for Christ
    I spread the gospel far and near
    I exegete the Scriptures
    I have nothing to fear

  • Good News

    At the cross
    Christ reconciled God and man
    He followed the Father’s plan

    Since the Fall
    The natural man is mired in sin
    He needed a propitiation

    Without Christ, man has no hope
    Only a sinless sacrifice
    Would suffice

    We thank the Lord
    For His active obedience, totally
    Our salvation is predicated on it completely

    Penal substitutionary atonement saved us
    All our sin was imputed to Christ at Calvary
    His perfect righteousness we receive, you see

    Christ preached in Hell
    Many followed Him that day
    They went to paradise without delay

    On Easter Sunday
    Christ rose, defeating death and sin
    Thanks to this miracle, we win

    God chose who would be saved before we were born
    The Holy Spirit regenerates us
    Then we go spiritually from minus to plus

    The Lord grants us twin gifts
    Faith and sincere repentance, when we heard the Word
    Christ is our Savior and Lord

  • Easter Triduum

    Christ is
    Our paschal sacrifice
    His Sabbath rest
    For us
    Does suffice
    On Holy Thursday
    The Last Supper
    Commenced
    Christ revealed
    The spiritual
    Reality
    Of the Bread
    And Wine
    We are blessed
    Spiritually
    Through these
    Symbols
    Taken for obedience
    To the Lord
    Next is Good Friday
    On this day, Christ
    Would suffer from
    Brutal Roman torture
    He was nailed
    To a cross
    Christ suffered
    Great pain
    His precious blood
    Was shed
    For the salvation
    Of all the souls
    That God the Father
    Gave Him
    At 3 pm
    Christ commended
    His spirit
    To God the Father
    Then Christ died
    The sky darkened
    And a huge earthquake
    Occured
    He was buried
    In a rock tomb
    A massive rock
    Sealed the entrance
    And Roman soldiers
    Kept watch
    On the third day
    Easter Sunday
    Christ was resurrected
    Thus proving
    That He is fully divine
    As well as fully human
    Christ defeated Satan
    Sin and death
    He who knew no sin
    Became sin
    To pay the price
    To ransom us
    And to enter
    Through adoption
    The children of God
    All souls will be judged
    By Christ the Lord
    Truly, He is Lord of Lords
    And King of Kings
    The prophesied Messiah
    Who would save His people
    The Jews
    As well as Gentiles
    Let us be obedient
    And follow Christ’s
    Commandments
    May our lives
    Bear good fruit
    Of the Holy Spirit

  • The Doctrines of Grace

    I was a totally depraved wretch
    Salvation I could not catch

    I was as wicked as could be
    Who would save me from this misery

    Man is dead in his sin
    Totally unable to select God sovereign

    We are chosen by God unconditionally
    It is not due to any inherent quality

    Christ’s atonement was limited
    It was solely for the Elect, not merited

    Christ receives all Who the Father gives
    Only the Elect He forgives

    The grace we receive is irresistible, you see
    Through the effectual call, we are saved completely

    The Holy Spirit quickens faith in our soul
    We are regenerated and made a new creation whole

    We are given the gifts of faith and repentance
    Saved according to God’s preference

    Scripture teaches perseverance of believers eternally
    Our salvation is Christ’s work; we have eternal security
