Gather around and sit at my table We call the poor, the widow and the lowly of heart You call the rich, the wicked and the prideful to sit with you But you question the washing of hands, rather than questioning your intentions All the while you defile your mother and father  You become men of traditions Rather than men of God You forgo the mercy and the love and replace it with sacrificing  Believing that the sacrifices are what saves your soul Oh you foolish Pharisees, he doesn’t want your sacrifices if you have no mercy or love  ..read more

 You love me when I am far from you You love me when I am close to you Your love defies all means of life The love we seek from others can’t compare to yours For you are love and love is you  If we abide in you and you in us then we are love And that love knows no fear or evil This is the love that I want and the love that I need ..read more

 My mind questions everything that I hear Not sure if it’s my voice or yours  It’s a whisper that can be heard faintly  It brings me peace and a sense of joy But my mind goes back into doubt  Questioning that little voice in my mind I’ve heard voices before but it brought fear and anxiety  So I put myself in a position of vulnerability  When I don’t lean on your understanding  It drives me into a corner, that sets me into flight or fight My flight is to run away from it all But my fight is to stand tall and fight against it all Knowing that when I resist h ..read more

  What is it that you are looking for that can not be found in him Why is it that we look to the stars and the waters  But not to the creator Is your heart still lost and confused  Is your soul still yearning for peace If so, then cling to his presence and his name  For HE alone can bring you out of that suffering and make you anew For he is your Father who knew you in the womb So turn not to others for your salvation but to the one who gave it to you For he is the beginning, the end, the Alpha and the Omega ..read more

  Oh Israel, how have thou forsaken God Who brought you out of bondage from Egypt The God that commands you to worship no other The God who is jealous, loving and righteous But you stiff neck people forget the wonders and signs And go a-whoring after other gods The anger of the true God will be kindled against you  While your false gods stand idly by As your blessings turn into curses Oh, Israel repent of your sins and come back home  For God is forgiving, merciful, loving, and kind ..read more

So let’s jump right into this. For those who are new in their faith or even just curious and are wondering how do I get into Heaven. There is only one way, and that way is through Jesus Christ our Lord and Saviour. For John 14:6 says “Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me”.  Because Jesus walked a perfect life and died on the cross for our sins, we are given free salvation and eternal life. But we must accept that Jesus Christ is our Lord and Saviour and died for our sins.  Romans 10:9 “That if thou shalt confess with ..read more

They passionately walked with God As they journeyed through the Garden Gleefully gazing upon his creation But separation lead to the appetite of their fleshy desires Which caused their righteousness to expire Deceived by an errant fallen angel Who witfully played on words  Lead to the first fall of mankind Now doomed to toll and labor the fruits of the ground By the sweat of their brows, their punishment was found Now cast from the Garden of Eden for soon They will surely die ..read more

As emotional creatures, we yearn to be loved and to love. But do we really know what real love is? I can say personally that I have never known true love. I have searched throughout my years looking for love in all the wrong places. I looked for love in sexual immorality, in myself, in drugs, and in the world. But in the end, all I felt was emptiness an emptiness that would persist no matter what I did or where I looked. I would have bouts of depression and self-harm. I didn’t want to live anymore because I always felt so empty. But something inside wanted to live. Something inside of me w ..read more
