DARK NIGHT
DARK NIGHT
The violence continues
The children swept away unto death
Or worse, incarceration
People urge others to prayer
But realize that their prayers
Have not worked in the past
So why summon God now
The nights become darker
Many days darker still
And the minds that gather tolerance
Preach on their score
And all that they have won
In this battle to transform the masses
To outright bedlam
I imagine it had to come to this point
As I observe the churches
And their penchant for good news,
Mediocrity, basically . . .
Dances with the devil
But the churches are not the only
Place to put the blame
As we ponder our daily rituals
Our sequestered time alone with God
As we look closely to see the thread
Of Truth and Righteousness
Within our own lives
Just how far, as individuals, have we fallen
And how silent have we become
So as not to disturb the peace
Of our own sanctuary?
The reaper comes
And the doorpost must have
The Blood of the Innocent Lamb
As its seal
Or death and darkness comes
In all forms
I have personally "preached" repentance
Unto Righteousness
For just 2 months short of 25 years
And gained not one
The losses have been many
Too many to count
And the battle front daily
Is to look to the future
And not the failure of the past
For friends, I KNOW that my Redeemer LIVES
And I know His offer still stands
Just as boldly and uncompromisingly
In the darkness as in the light
But you have to take hold of it
Giving up all else
Or you are not worthy
Will not be truly filled
Cannot count on protection
Or guidance
25 year Anniversary coming very soon
And I have no cause to Celebrate
Except that His Faithfulness within me
Brought me through every battle
Psalm 94
Darkness will consume this nation
In just a few "hours"
And the clock will not be able
To turn backwards
Because you finally realize
The depth of your depravity
Time marches on
And the reaper has already been assigned
Its lot
The days will not be shortened
Due to grief
The church doors may look open
But no one within their halls
Will have the answer you need
Their wine is only juice now
The bread of Communion
As fake as styrofoam
And the promises of true Communion
With the Almighty
Nullified by unconfessed, unrepentant sin
Psalm 25
The children's innocence
Removed in a second
Their parents torn from their grip
Sadness, abandonment, hunger
Will sear their souls
And the loss will be more than
This country can bear
Because it will not just happen to
The foreigner
but the rich
The relaxed
The falsely secure
The rulers far and wide . . .
What can cause such upheaval?
Surely your money, title, place in society grant you safety
But not with the Judgment to come
Not any longer
No more!

“Weep for your children are gone
But they were never really yours
To begin with
Society as a whole
Holds your child's heart
If you have not brought them up
In My Care, submissive to My teachings,
Wrapped in My Love
At this late date,
How will you ‘buy’ them back
And protect them?
