Atheism is a schism
Defined by naturalism
If that’s the case 
You may as well erase
And deny supernaturalism

But that's sedentary
Miracles are extraordinary,
That’s not an argument against them
Into the horns of a dilemma your hemmed
Without omniscience, 
       you must appeal to ubiquity

But it’s not that easy
You can’t just redefine things or deny

Joy of a Friend

Joy of the Lord is my strength
Humble in His sight I am weak
Following the Christ in me
Worshipping on my knees

Falling down on my face
Walking in truth and grace
Not a religious trick but
It’s about the relationship

In the valley He walks beside me
He sits at the table with me
In the presence of my enemies
For thou art with

Not Mine

The olive garden to prepare.
With Zebedee’s sons and Peter

He prayed for the cup to pass,
Your will be done
Not mine.

Take this cup from me?
Yet not my will, but yours be done. 

Point of death, the hour is here. 
Fast asleep under the trees. 

Vision of Isaac being prepared, 
On his knees to be spared. 

Sorrow in

Stand Firm

I sing to the children of God.
Stand firm, Stand firm.
I pray for the children of God.
Stand firm, Stand firm.

When the enemy comes to you.
When you face the accuser.
You'll know what to do.
Stand on the truth in love.

We have the choice every day.
Which character to put on?
If you listen to what some may say,
You might be

"I could've had Elimelech's land,
If not for Ruth the Moabitess' hand.
Elimelech's land has much potential,
But taking a flawed wife was essential.

With the land, I would come out ahead.
With Ruth, I'd ruin my future instead.
So, I let Boaz redeem both of them.
I'm happy to pass this burden to him."

"I use what's flawed to bring blessing.
Ruth's faith

Borrowed Time

A FLOWER THAT BLOOMS

God sees your life as a flower
That sprouts, grows, blooms, wilts, withers, and dies in one Day.

And it is not so much the way the Lord sees how you were Rooted to the world

But,

How you attempted to bloom toward the sky.

Whether your stem was broken too soon by an icy storm, Wilted

Romanticize

I looked at the trees.
They moved with the birds, while they chirped and laughed. 
Shutting the door, my hand shaking from former caffeine. 
I heard music from my room.
It stopped.
My speaker died. 
The blinds let the light in and my room smelled good,
like laundry in the morning. 
My skin was easy today and my lips

Sculpted by silence

My days were filled with limp lifts of your hands,
  each a tear steeped in lost compassion.
You made me swim in a cold, clammy sea of sorrow~
and shaped me into a voiceless, motionless
s c u l p t u r e.

My cries were your joy~
  your face and the devil’s wore identical masks.
Your

The Book

I read a book with sharp words
Piercing deep into the muscles of the heart
Unraveling life's secrets
Detailing beyond this realm
Narrating the past with caution
Illuminating what's within the breast
Putting doubt to rest
Separating truth from the grasp of falsehood

Then I recited the book
The eyes turned watery
The reasoning humbled
From the harmony that comes from within
A true source of solace

"Whose discernment is correct?!"

"They read but don't watch for Me,
So simple truth turns knotty:
Captives in a doctrinal fence,
Their interpretations lack sense,
Their expertise a mere pretense.

The truth originates with Me,
My illumination lets you see:
Your eyes see what I've planned,
Your ears obey My command,
Your mind will then understand.

My people will be purified,
My enemies will be petrified:
My plans

Premium MemberHer skin, a velvet sin, a scripture I recite with the tip of my tongue

Her skin, a velvet sin, a scripture I recite with the tip of my tongue,
melts like dark chocolate, bitter and sweet on my hungry lips,
pouring confessions in breathless whispers, a dance of endless desire.
I pull her closer, white-knuckled on silk sheets,
intoxicated by the ecstasy between her thighs, a paradise lost and found,
a pleasure so intense

Premium MemberScripture Stranger

In the Biblical landscape of rebirth earth whispered footsteps steaming forward with friendship 
From a stranger with an unknown smile 
Throughout the unfolding fields and whispy wildflowers the sky cloaked him in azure atmosphere 
When he spoke to her the first time her innermost radio turned on to his station 
Heavenly fuel glued their garden
