Piece of A Sword -jdw

When the oil drips dry from the fields of Ghawar,
And the silt of Dubai sift The Palm Jumeirah;
People will shrivel like basmati rice Tahdig
And the wealth of the princes won't help even a little.

Luk 13:24 Strive to enter in at the strait gate: for many, I say unto you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able.



You are never, never alone! The Lord is a whisper away!

THE CROSS UNCOVERED CHRIST'S RIGHTEOUSNESS, SIMULTANEOUSLY REVEALING MAN'S GUILT.
HIS WAS THE PERFECT SACRIFICE, WHEN INNOCENT BLOOD WAS SPLIT;
BY THIS VERY ACT OF OBEDIENCE THE JUSTICE OF GOD WAS FULFILLED,
MERCY TRIUMPHED IN JUDGEMENT, AND CONDEMNATION WAS STILLED.

THE LAW OF THE LORD IS PURE, AND RIGHTEOUSNESS SHINES IN THE DARKNESS,
BUT ONLY THE LOVE OF GOD HAS THE POWER TO SOFTEN MEN'S HARDNESS;
SIN WAS CONDEMNED IN THE FLESH, BUT DEATH COULD NOT CONQUER HIS GOODNESS,
REPENTANCE BORN OF THE SPIRIT BRINGS SALVATION BORN OF FORGIVENESS.



Rom 8:3 NKJV For what the law could not do in that it was weak through the flesh, God did by sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, on account of sin: He condemned sin in the flesh.


Rom 11:22 KJV
Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God: on them which fell, severity; but toward thee, goodness, if thou continue in [his] goodness: otherwise thou also shalt be cut off.

2Cr 7:10 NIV
Godly sorrow brings repentance that leads to salvation and leaves no regret, but worldly sorrow brings death.



SIN IS SPIRITUAL NAKEDNESS:

* ONLY JESUS CAN PROVIDE THE ROBE OF RIGHTEOUSNESS YOU NEED & DESIRE.

* JESUS HAS THE PERFECT FIT JUST FOR YOU.

* WITHOUT THE PROPER ATTIRE YOU ARE NOT PREPARED FOR THE THRONE ROOM.

* EARTH IS THE FITTING ROOM. YOU BETTER take THE ROBE THAT'S TAYLORED FOR YOU.

HAPPY MOTHER"S DAY!

THIS CLOSET :by Johndeweb

Empty out this closet of the clutter in my mind; Take away the junk that weighs me down & merely binds;
All the foolish notions I was taught to understand never helped to better me or turn my life around.
Show me by the Holy Ghost the seasons & the times; Don't let idle thinking dash my dreams & trash my mind;
Now I have a destiny, but there are those apparently, who taunt with tongue instinctively just because I'm free.

I Closed My Eyes

I closed my eyes & saw the light
I opened them but it took flight;
I realized then for me to see
I have to trust the light in me.

It's not by senses I perceive
This complex world which beckons me;
Not by reason or convention
But faith is what I have to mention.

Faithfulness
A Poem by Johndeweb

Open windows, open doors,
Marriage is a picture for
The favor God endows on man
Causing mercy to remand

Who healed the sick and offered hope
For those whose pain was hard to cope;
Who stood by us when we were dross
And shared His love at any cost?

Like a marriage between two souls
In Christ two halves become a whole;
One life, one wife, one Lord, and more:
Heaven is worth waiting for.

BEYOND THE GATES OF GRACE: by John DeRienzo

BEYOND THE GATES OF GRACE

THERE ARE NO PEWS IN HEAVEN,
NO USHERS AT THE DOOR;
THERE ARE NO STAINED GLASS WINDOWS
OR CARPET ON THE FLOOR.

THERE ARE NO FASHION STATEMENTS
TO DISTINGUISH RICH FROM POOR;
NEITHER MALE NOR FEMALE,
THE BRIDE OF CHRIST FOR SURE.

JOY IS EVER FLOWING,
PEACE IS ALWAYS THERE;
TIME IS NEVER MEASURED
FOREVER IS IN THE AIR.

WHAT YOU HEAR IN HEAVEN
IS RARELY HEARD ON EARTH;
EVERY BREATH AROUND YOU
CONVEYS WHAT LOVE IS WORTH.

THE FAITHFUL AREN'T LONGING
FOR SERMONS TO BE THROUGH;
THEY'RE WAITING ON GOD'S PRESENCE
LINGERING LIKE THE DEW.

THE GREATEST NOW ARE LEAST,
THE LEAST OF ALL ARE FIRST;
GOD HAS CHOSEN FOOLISH THINGS
REDEEMED AMONG THE WORST.

AN OPEN INVITATION
AWAITS THE GREAT AND SMALL;
BEYOND THE GATES OF GRACE,
HIS SAINTS MUST HEED THE CALL?

OLD AND YOUNG ARE WELCOME
BLACK AND WHITE ARE TOO;
HEAVEN IS A FAMILY
THOUGH THE CHOSEN ARE THE FEW

LIFE IS A POEM: by John DeRienzo

LIFE IS A POEM

Life is a poem as it unfolds
Not written with ink or ever foretold
Each verse is a story of grace from above
Proof of the fact that Jesus is love

TOUGH CASE: by John DeRienzo

TOUGH CASE

God is not afraid of your tough case,
The Blood of Christ your sins it can erase;
The world will see that God is in control,
He mends the broken hearts and makes them whole!

Our God, our friend, His Face, our peace!

GOOD VS EVIL: by John DeRienzo

GOOD VS EVIL



People bound by Satan's pride
Some way, some how, think they can hide
Behind the wisdom of this age
That comes to naught with Satan's rage

They posture as though Christ remains
Nailed to wood in writhing pain
How foolish can a sinner be
The Cross is empty but Christ is free

Furious in futility
Void of God in a deadly sea
Hellacious flames will tongues arrest
Tormented mockers will attest

Heaven's will on Earth be done
All will bow before the Son
The night will not confound the light
For Lucifer has lost the fight

Mocking what you do not know
Claiming that it is not so
You were warned that God is just
And He won’t always strive with us

Foolishness is veiled in pride
And confidence a thin disguise
Eternal life belongs to them
Who turn to God away from sin
