Love is calling.

Love bade me welcome,yet my soul drew back,
Guilty of dust and sin
But quick ey'd love,observing me slack
From my first enterance in,
Drew near to me sweetly questioning
If I lack'd anything.

"A guest", I answer'd, "worthy to be here";
Love said,"you shall be he."
"I, the unkind,the ungrateful?Ah my dear, I cannot look on thee."
Love took my hand and smiling did reply
"who made the eyes but I?"

"Truth, Lord, but I have marr'd them;
Let my shame
Go where it doth deserve."
"And know you not," says Love,
"who bore the blame?"
"My dear,then I will serve."
"You must sit down," says Love,
"And taste my meat."
So i did sit and eat.

The Grace of Our Lord Jesus, the love of God and communion with the Spirit

On the Grace of our Lord, the Father's love and the communion of the Spirit in the life of the Believer. 2Cor 13:14 is a portion of Scripture quoted so often in church that the mention of it brings closing of service or benediction to mind. In this portion of Scripture which indeed is a prayer, is hidden an eternally powerful truth. It is my confidence that the Spirit of God by the will of God will shed light on our spirits as we seek the light of this truth, embrace it and apply it daily in our walk with God. It says "the Grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Love of God and the sweet fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all". What a prayer! First it is seen in this prayer, THE WORD, THE FATHER and THE SPIRIT. Once upon a time, in the beginning of time, there was a convocation and in that meeting, Elohim, was there with The Logos and His Pneuma, and the result was creation. What if there is a creative mystery embedded in this prayer in the life of a believer? What ...

A case for Heavenly Mindedness.

It is often said "do not be so heavenly conscious that you become earthly useless" but I say unto you, the man who is conscious of eternity as he ought cannot and will not be earthly useless. His heart will be set on pleasing God and that means obeying God's every instruction on his life. There is no man who has so lives that turns out useless to his world and generation. Jesus didn't turn out that way nor did the apostles and every other saint whose names we mention and whose works we reference. Their contributions derived from inspiration that flowed from their following God faithfully is the light we now shine for the next generation. This systematic secularization of the church is what is standing between men and their eternal destines on the earth. We complain we do not have devoted men serving God but we preach that men should balance spirituality and secularism. It is not so in God’s word. You cannot serve two masters. You are either following God or you are f...

The Pianoist III Contd.

"Well seriously now", I continued, trying to bring seriousness back. "Our souls comprise of our will, emotion and intellect, it's the interface between the physical and the supernatural and our thoughts and attitude derives from paradigms that reside in the soul." "You wanna have me believe that I am defined by something resident in my soul?" Larry asked. "Exactly! Replied Lynn. "You are the product of thought patterns and systems absorbed from your environment. You begin to release these things you have inside as time and circumstances permit." Lynn continued. "This is what Jesus meant when he said that it is out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks. He was talking about the abundance of the paradigms residing in the depths of your soul. Apostle Paul calls it 'the spirit of the mind', I said. "This still sounds spookey to me. I should be leery of you guys, you all talk like you've been hypnotised...
