Spoken Word

Today I am doing something different.  Have you ever seen anyone perform "spoken word"?  Well, this was put on my heart this morning, it is to be read in the format of spoken word, rhytmatic and fun.  I hope you enjoy it.


Have you ever stopped to wonder why
God made the birds to fly.
He made the grass green,
And the air to be unseen
He made the seasons all,
Winter, summer, spring and fall
He created each of us unique,
Some to work and some to speak
He gave us all something sweet,
The nails pierced His son’s hands and feet
For our sins Jesus suffered and bled
A crow of thorns placed upon His head. 
He was crucified so I can live,
His love He did so freely give.

Have you stopped to wonder why,
For you, He did die?
He said, you don’t have to be ideal,
My perfection will live through you with zeal.
So, why are we not sharing God’s news?
Why are we allowing so many to have the blues?
Why don’t we share His promise of a great tomorrow,
Help ease the suffering and sorrow.
He made us for a reason and gave us a charge.
Share the news, live it out large.
He shared this in the great commission,
Charged us all, gave us a mission
In Matthew 28, verse 19 and 20 Jesus said that we were to go
Go make disciples of all nations, so they would know.

Know that All have sinned and fallen short of God’s glory
He can take that, He can use your story.
My life isn’t perfect, but I am filled with peace.
How He saved us, brings me to my knees.
Because we fall short, He sacrificed
His son died on the cross, He bled and died.
Sad story?  Yes, that’s true
He did this all just for me and you.
But what is the best part of all this sadness?
He ROSE from the grave to bring us all gladness. 

So lets show our appreciation
Don’t live our lives with only self-motivation
Live to put God first, others second and yourself third
And you will figure out why God gave us that bird.
Why that bird can fly, why the grass is green
God’s wonders were made to be heard and seen.
He created all this for our sake, for our pleasure
So with you, I want to share the wonderful treasure.
Ask God into your heart
And in you, new and wonderful things will start.
Ask Him, the Lord Jesus Christ to come in
He will rid your black heart of sin.
He will make your life transform
Love and peace will be your new norm.

Now, being a Christian isn’t always easy
It isn’t life all sweet and breezy.
I don’t want to lie to you so I will tell you,
The world may hate you, even expel you.
But isn’t it worth it to know that God on High,
The one who made everything and did suffer and die.
Is looking down and saying “well done”
To you, His good and faithful son.

Center of God's Will

I was very blessed to go over to some new friend’s home last night and talk with them and others about life in general.   As the topic turned solely to missions late in the evening (as this couple used to travel around bringing the good news to kids around the world, and then lived in a different country for 3 years sharing the gospel) I said something like, it must feel amazing to be right in the center of God’s Will.   To have to rely on Him for protection from the most random events; to have to rely on God to take you out of situations that are dangerous; to rely on Him for every provision that you are given; and most importantly, to be brining the message of Christ to all nations under heaven.   Can you imagine?   Knowing that you are supposed to be right where you are, doing what you are doing, right when you are doing it because you have to, and have chosen to, rely on God for every little aspect of your life.   Well friends, I am not out spreading the me...

do I mis-use the Bible?

WOW!   This morning I sat and started to read through Ecclesiastes.   I don’t know if the author of Ecclesiastes, Perhaps King Solomon, had a very sarcastic view on life or if he was just babbling.   But I can definitely see how this book could get a lot of people into trouble if they don’t know the full book or continue to read.   There are verses in there that say things like; eat, drink and enjoy the days on earth because they are meaningless, it is good to enjoy your time on earth and do not worry about anything. To get the full meaning of the book, you need to read it all- the true gems are the last two verses.   This book was written by someone (according to my study Bible) that was near the end of his life, he sees man in pursuit of so many things and vainly pursuing hopes and expectations- but faith teaches him that God has ordered all things according to his own purposes and that we need to accept our limitations.   The last two verses are the wr...

Don't throw fits!

Yesterday I blogged about how we need to be like little children.   Jesus loves the little children.   He tells us that if we are not like them, we cannot enter the kingdom of heaven.   I HAVE little children and they are amazing, but I have to assume that little children back in the day didn’t throw public fits or kick and scream and want their way.   Proof is actually in the Bible – they didn’t have the media helping their kids learn to curse their parents all the time.   The punishment for going against your father and mother were harsh!   See Leviticus 20:9 “If anyone curses his father or mother, he must be put to death.   He has cursed his father or his mother, and his blood will be on his own head.” God wants us to be like the little children that he writes about in the Bible, not necessarily the kids that we see all the time around us now.   Some are very well behaved, but some just aren’t.   I can only assume that He wants us to foll...
