Best Inerrant Poems
I dream poetry;
I breathe poetry, for poetry
calls your name, feeling your
inerrant essentia—
your soul bleeds into mine—
a collision of cosmos,
diffused magnetically, once
a vagrant in a haze of miasmic
vapors—wildered and exposed—
you unshackled me from
this purgatory;
inversely immersing me in
your sphere of solace, and
blooming artistry,
lulling the vast polarities
splintering each layer of my veracity.
I dream poetry,
for your love drizzles
burgeoning constellations, amid
rosette sepals galvanizing my
orphic nuclei, with
every spark we sigh,
tethered to the infinite composition
of our unwavering love compellingly,
beyond heaven and earth,
devoted to you—
your fallen star; no longer silent, circling
nocturne arias entwining our destiny.

"Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ." Titus 2:13 of the King Jame Bible
Our blessed hope radiates this Christmas and beyond gloriously…
The birth of the Saviour Jesus jubilantly
Surely bringing redemption to us compassionately
With the promise of eternal life and divine nature to experience abundantly.
Our great hope glistens with great assurance…
The sacrifice of Christ that vanquished hell’s endurance
Surely forgiving us in our confessed transgression-defiance
With the acquittal from sin’s penalty and self-righteous arrogance.
Our blissful hope shines upon biblical revelation…
The resurrection of the Lord that subdued everlasting damnation
Surely ordaining us in our believers’ royal position
With the subjugation of death’s sting and its fatal destruction.
Our steadfast hope glitters through blessed worship…
The work of the Father that exposes His leadership
Surely molding us while striving to do well by His enabling partnership
With the guidance of His wisdom and prudence for faithful stewardship.
Our triumphant hope sparkles along gratitude delight…
The goodness of God that proclaims His magnificent height
Surely upholding us in steadfastly sharing the Gospel light
With the truth of His inerrant Word and immutable covenant’s might.
Our momentous hope glows against attacking uncertainty…
The prodding of the Holy Spirit that seals His authority
Surely keeping us to stay in His will’s protective security
With the answers to fervent prayers and earnest supplications’ entreaty.
Our joyous hope brightens toward a triumphant moment…
The coming of the King that declares prophecy’s fulfillment
Surely ensuring us of precious rewards due to gracious accomplishment
With the commendation for favoured devotion and commitment.

No rift in the unthawing ice
The sled took dark matter over crystals of snow
Here the water's thin bonds sufficed
And the one who led was the one who should know
There was no glory in the game
For him, a southern heart seeking a northern pole
Of stars when his heart was aflame
For the warm rhythms of drums called him for a role
Beyond the ken of history
Where his firsts are ancient as the Nile, wrapped in night
Filled with stars of antiquity
Old, so old, the magi had never seen their light.
Today we know where ships must seek
Without the theodolite of desert sands
Time replaced the proud with the meek
God guides the world with his great inerrant hands
Now the servant throned in silence
Is unmasked to his regal heritage, and brought
Maryland's son his prominence
Since first Peary's eyes in his wisdom's net was caught
Like a schooner around the globe
This freedman's soul brought home cargoes none knew before
For something in his blood's wide robe
Could not resist those paths ancient Ghana explored

So many things can make us afraid
letting Satan suggest so many lies
it's a crippling effect when afraid
tares at your heart causing your cries
Look up to God to give you faith
learn to trust Him for all He's done
all His promises are sure and amen!
stand strong, hold fast, never to run
Be sure of God's inerrant word
it's all true with no error at all
give praise to God for every word
divinely given with heavens call
In God alone, I put my complete trust
to know His favor is never to be afraid
looking to my savior who is in control
who on Calvary's cross my sin was paid
God is greater than the flesh of man
what can man do to God's own
God watches them at every moment
in His hand so safe flesh and bone
(Psalm 56:3 (ESV)
"When I am afraid, I put my trust in you. In God whose word I praise, in God I trust, I shall not e afraid. 'What can flesh do to me?")

Take time in due consideration
of all that fills your mind
to look intently inside that matter
fully looking for much there to find
Live by high and lofty principles
bowing to God's perfect holy will
bringing everything before Christ alone
submit in reverence stand forever still
Make your standard equally God like
be as Jesus was here on earth
holding forth scriptural truth to the letter
displaying fruit born from new birth
Take every thought under Christ's word
make sure your obedience truly in line
with that divine inerrant eternal truth
holding it captive to God's ink filled sign
So imprison your every thought
capture it under the sovereign hand
righteous it must be altogether
make it pleasing for heaven's land
('Take every thought captive to obey Christ' 2 Corinthians 10: 5b)

God be praised for His work in our victory
Proclaiming that salvation is verily assured by His grace
As taught by His inspired Word*, devoid of any flaw…
Let us then read it with earnestness
And learn from His wisdom of prudent enlightenment!
God be thanked for His triumph in our walk
Declaring that sanctification is only fulfilled thru His cleansing
As affirmed by His preserved Word, secured from sins…
Let us then meditate it with sincerity
And seek His forgiveness along assured peace!
God be honoured for His supplies in our needs
Testifying that satisfaction is bountifully enriched with His sufficiency
As expressed by His inerrant Word, filled with blessings…
Let us then delight in it with prayerfulness
And abide in His goodness of contentment-bliss!
God be magnified for His might in our ministry
Showing that service is acceptably done along His power
As revealed by His pure Word, free from deceit…
Let us then hear it with utmost desire to practice what’s right
And involve in His church for kingdom-advancement!
God be exalted for His favour in our gathering
Telling that sanctuary-worship is genuinely experienced in His holiness
As settled by His immutable Word, asserting “Thus saith the Lord...”
Let us then obey it with heartfelt gratitude
And share His Gospel about redeeming love!
God be lifted-up for His anchor in our upholding
Recognizing that steadfastness is formidably braced upon His strength
As emphasized by His perfect Word, preached for character-building…
Let us then apply it with yielded obedience
And trust His promises of precious value!
God be glorified for His commendation in our jubilation
Commending that success is ultimately attained around His standards
As reminded by His infallible Word, settled upon sovereign truth…
Let us then live by it with growing faith
And follow His instructions of faithful stewardship!
*2Timothy 3:16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness.

LOVE
Love has many connotations. For instance, I love my truck; I love pizza; I love my dog; I love my cat; I love the first snowfall of winter, etc. But what is love, really? Love is an emotion that is placed in the minds of people by the Creator. First of all, we are to Love the Lord with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength and love our neighbor as ourself. Then, and only then, can we truly love family in the way it was intended. So, think on these things inspired by God's inerrant Word. Love is patient, love is kind and is not jealous; love does not brag and is not arrogant, love does not act unbecomingly; it does not seek its own, is not provoked, does not take into account a wrong suffered, does not rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Now faith, hope, and love, abide --- these three things; but the greatest of all of these is love.
Therein lies the essence of how we are to view love, extend love, and be the recipient of love. If you show love, you will be loved. May the love of God, and His Son, Jesus Christ dwell in you richly.

All on your own there you are
surrounded by trees on an island
trees so bare no colour around
as far as eyes see alone you stand
One thing I brought was the Bible
the one book you can fully trust
simply full of God's inerrant truth
encouraging words so pure and just
With the land here so very bare
glad I brought nice and juicy fruit
full of colour and flavour so rich
fills you up from head to foot
On such a parched land so dry
brought pure water to quench my thirst
such a saviour in these conditions
keeps you going when about to burst
All of these ingredients so needed
for they are indescribably pure
how long it'll be before I'm found?
don't know but just have to endure!
( just thoughts if left on desert island with just few favourate things)

I miss some information while the news drones on today,
and lose a favorite TV chair, while commentators lie on air.
The coddled cats, now cozy in my spot, have no respect for playing fair.
Their clawing paws pause in sync with reporters at play with words,
then resume, like rhetorical retorts swatting truth away.
“The housing market's in a bubble,” they blurb on without a bobble,
or hint of irony. And with iron fisted tone demand attention to their
tomes, attacking what's left of right. A pin is needed to pop in, to bust
their bubble with an outburst, an outrage against the dying of the light.
But darkness already settles in as homeless huddle on the street.
Enjoy your yurt on a mountain top, camping with tin pot and tinder
from tenuous timber on a fire pit of stone, and thank fake news for
declaring climate change a hoax. Sing with Mellencamp, “Come on baby,
make the yurt so good,” and dream melancholic dreams of better days.
In this post fact, post hoc fallacy filled world, where science must compete
with goat herder wisdom, the black belted Bible still punches out the Truth
in four inerrant yet irreconcilable Gospels, “The Good News.” But the news
is not so good for slaves, or women, or LGBQT, or really any life
on planet Earth from A to Z, as Heaven trumps our paradise,
despite the lack of evidence, and no planet B.
Oh the cacophony of cock-eyed calumnies! The columnist and internet
conspire, slipping the surly bonds of truth to touch the face of gob smacking
lies. Dismiss these purveyors of the putrid, who exchange fact for opinion
and peel back layers of untruth, until my eyes sting with tears.

This prophesy came by the prophet Amos
standing telling the message of the Lord
that a severe famine was on the way
for judgement is coming by His mighty sword
The Lord will send a famine of the living bread
they'll search all over from east to west
run to and fro seeking the divine word
it'll not be found it is no jest
This is coming true even in our present day
as people have itching ears what they hear
not wanting the inerrant authorative truth
so they die of thirst for God's word so clear
Where is the clear clarying call?
the urgent important need of the hour
to send forth the Lord's prophetic word
so we receive a mighty spiritual shower
Plead to the Lord to please send it forth
His word that only can make us complete
this living bread for without it we'll die
pray to receive such wholesome meat
(Behold, the days are coming declares the Lord God,
when I will send a famine on the land
not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water,
but of hearing the words of the Lord.
They shall wander from sea to sea,
and from north to east;
they shall run to and fro, to seek the word of the Lord,
but they shall not find it.)

As believers seek always to walk
close to Christ as we can be
abiding in His inerrant holy word
meditate upon it to reverently agree
God gives to us His provision
to meet our needs whatever they are
sometimes things go so smoothly
other times it seems so slow by far
We need constantly to be in prayer
asking the Lord for more grace
so we can become so like Jesus
that others be attracted to His case
This grace doesn't do well in summer
it seems to not go down too deep
when things don't rough us up too much
our spirituality is like a wandering sheep
The best season for it to grow
is winter full of hardship and cold
there grace gets a real depth within
making sure we do as we're told
That old divine Samuel Rutherford
told it really truly so very well
grace grows indeed better in winter
then God works to make us gel
(Quote:
Grace grows better in winter - Samuel Rutherford (1600-1661) Scottish presbyterian minister/theologian)

Let's take a look and consider
to be dead without no thought to sin
living a life full of Christ the Lord
following His every step all to cling
Reject unrighteousness out of hand
commit yourself to the Lord of life
who removes death from your heart
so united to overcome all strife
Does that mean we're not under law?
so grace will always be our key
no no! righteousness only can rescue
but where is it for it's gotta be true
Slavery is the way to win this
not to sin for it just brings death
but obedience bringing righteousness
thanks to God for each divine breath
So follow on leave every act of sin
be real slave to righteousness
in obeying God's inerrant word
this road leads you to holiness

The inerrancy of the bible enrages me,
Boils my blood, riles me and angers,
Makes the interpretation prerogative limp,
Nullifies that interpretation bud passed onwards,
From every author who’s not embarrassed.
You read knowing the art of literature,
Is in its reader’s agreed distance from the writer,
Knowing your book’s rationally contrived,
Aware of your right to read it your own way,
Understanding the possible word play.
The bible is not authored in any way whatsoever,
Has many different historical authors, contributors,
’Twas compiled by the Nicean committee,
Maybe, by a group of intellectuals deep,
So that Jesus and an insight we could keep.
Computer Science confronts with dares,
Regarding your view of the written word,
Makes fundamentalists intrepid and silent,
About their author god who cheers and assists,
Even when reading the text, when reason so persists.
Computers let you delete certainties, things,
Change and edit completed documents,
Tell you that you’re human and creative,
Welcome your attempts, errors and mistakes,
And give fundamentalists the quiet quakes.
All inerrancy will do is frighten you and scare,
Vanquish your reason with its complementation,
Evade form for an augmented version of it,
Which will emerge as a differently defined structure,
Worth neither solidification nor the puncture.
There are no wrong actions with my computer,
No thought or situation that can’t be expressed,
No colour unavailable on the rainbow palate,
No code not writable, not fixable or reworkable,
No desire inconceivable, that’s not addressable.

Jesus Christ the eternal son of God
loved by His father in all eternity
both always in union equally so
reign on high reveals divine identity
This Jesus declares His great love
for His own redeemed loving them so
showing such atoning love on Calvary
dying for our sins defecting our foe
Jesus tells us to constantly stay
always close to His love so dear
abiding in this love for eternity
His inerrant word makes this clear
Follow His counsel and guidance
listen to His spirit utters in our ear
His tones of love so sweet sound
such melodious music so ever clear
This is perfect love Godly and holy
the world ignorantly knows it not
but blessed are we His redeemed
as Jesus love clears our every blot
('As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Abide in my love. ')
