Sitting among the sunflowers
Skating through the stalks
I watch the face of the flower
turn toward the Son.
And I decide,
"I must do the same".
The Killing Fields of the Church April 20, 2006
In the Killing Fields of the Church
Some are bruised
Some are broken
some are destroyed.
And some go off into the Night
never to return.
Who is killing them?
Who is after their complete annihilation?
Ultimately it is Satan,
but who is helping
in their destruction?
Is it pride?
Is it envy?
Is it the shepherds
or the sheep??
In the Killing Fields of the Church
Some are bruised
Some are broken
and some are forever destroyed.
Is it the Enemy,
or
is it the “church”??
Where are You, God? April 20, 2006
I'm always searching…
searching for more of You.
Seeking…
and seeking for Your presence.
Where are you, Lord?
Where are you,
O God of the Universe,
Creator of Heaven and Earth?
I Am right here, my child
I am right here.
I am with you in trouble,
I am with you in peace,
I Am with you wherever you may go.
Just Give Me Jesus April 12, 2006
Take your mumbo-jumbo
your universal thought
and give me Jesus.
Jot and tittle
precept upon precept
If it doesn’t line up
with the Word of God
then it is not from Him.
Our thoughts
Our wisdom
Eventhough they may
make sense
If they don’t match
the Word of God
then our wisdom is not from Him.
Take your kabbala
your meta-physical
your ghandi-ism
and just give me Jesus,
amen.
The Human Experience April 10, 2006
Can you imagine a life
without pain
no sorrow
no illness
no laughter
no gain.
The human experience
would never change
if there was no dawn,
if the sun never set,
the grass never grew–
no expectancy
no hope
no rain.
If all were well eternally,
day after day,
where would the joy
come from?
The hope of a new day?
No babies, no flowers,
no grace.
Be grateful for the pain.
Say thank you to it.
For in the pain is
the cycle of life.

Distracted April 10, 2006
I need to focus
Distracted
World’s claws drag
me away
toward too many things
I see a glimpse of you
But its soon gone
and replaced by the
next thing
I don’t want to forget you
Help me to focus
Focus on You
Line my thoughts
up with your Word
My life with You
Purge me of things that
don’t belong
What good would it be for
me to gain the world
But lose you?
None–Lord help
me to focus–to
Prioritize You
Lust for things
Ambition
“My four and no more”
This is no way to live
Real life–
A satisfying life
only comes from
You.
(feb 9, 2006)
Betrayed April 10, 2006
Lord forgive me
for running away from
you–hiding out
from Your grace.
Hurting and broken
Betrayed
I nurse my wounds
under the nearest
rock or thru
busyness
Help me to sit still–
to sit with you
Comforted by
your Presence in the
music
Help me not to run
away
but run into your
arms–Your grace
Be my shelter from
the rain
Surrounded by your
Presence
Nursed back to health
by Your Grace.

Seeker Friendly Churches April 10, 2006
(This piece is written from God’s perspective and written in response to a conversation with a man, who told me confidentially, that our church was seeker friendly. He said that they didn’t want to offend people, and this was why they were different from the original denomination we were in. This angered me so much, because the Bible says that signs and wonders are for the unbeliever. People are seeking the supernatural. Why would we want to hide the “real deal”, the supernatural power of God? This text seems harsh and corrective, but it is done in love. Real correction is sometimes necessary in the Church, to bring about a change of thinking, and get us back on the right track, so we can concentrate on the Great Commission. Some say it is prophetic, others say it is from unresolved anger–you decide.)
Seeker Friendly churches
You hide God,
to draw the masses.
You withold my
signs and wonders from them.
How dare you hide Me!
How dare you think
that I,
God Almighty
has to be in a box!
You think that I am
an Embarrassment.
You are ashamed of
My Holy Spirit.
You draw the masses
with your programs.
Yet none are prepared
for the days to come!
You speak only of
Grace and Mercy
Yet you never speak
of my Judgements.
I am a Righteous Judge!
The masses you’ve drawn
Don’t know Me
They’re not prepared
for the days to come.
You’ve tickled their ears
with casual speeches.
You preachers speak
only in half truths.
If you love your people
Show them all of Me–
Embrace Me.
Then they will know
You can not contain God!
It is not about programs
It is about worshiping Me!
And not just for
20 minutes on a Sunday!
You separate the children
From the parents
With your programs and your sweets.
The children of America
Don’t need anymore programs!
They don’t want candy,
They want Jesus!
They want to “do the stuff”!
Seeker Friendly pastors
I know you love me, but
The masses you’ve drawn
Don’t know Jesus.
They don’t know what My Son
Died for.
They’ve found “purpose”
But have no understanding
Of the Blood.
They are not prepared
For the White Throne
Of Judgement,
And their blood is on
Your hands.
(april 10, 2006 –an invitation)
Pastors Seek Me
Embrace Me
Invite My Holy Spirit
into your services
And See
What Can Be Done!
Psalm 86:11,12 April 10, 2006
"Grant me purity of heart, that I may honor you.
With all my heart I will praise you, O Lord my God.
I will give glory to your name forever."
