TEACHER AND TUTOR
by RFH
Sin is deadly;
some learn rightfully
to fear it;
Others never seem
to listen to the Spirit.
The soul is but
the classroom;
The conscience,
the student;
God, the Teacher.
And who might be
the needed tutor?
Foremost, the
Spirit-filled preacher. Exodus 20:20 "And
Moses said unto the
people, Fear not: for
God is come to prove
you, and that His fear
may be before your
faces, that ye sin not."
Hebrews 10:26 "For if
we sin willfully after that
we have received the
knowledge of the truth,
there remaineth no
more sacrifice for sins."
1 Peter 3:13 "And who
is it who will harm you
if ye be followers of that
which is good?"
"Satan is well aware that
the weakest Christian
who abides in Christ is
more than a match for all
the armies of darkness."

- - - - - - - SAVE THE DAY
by RFH
I need it
every minute;
The pow'r of God
is in it
Ev'ry second
of my day --
But the flesh
gets in my way.
I am weak
but Thou art strong;
My conscience knows
right from wrong;
Our bond's complete;
I know the Way;
Your love for me
shall save the day.
Romans 13:1-2 "Let
every soul be subject
unto the higher powers
... they that resist ...
receive to themselves
damnation." (See also:
Jeremiah 17:5; Psalm
73:26; 1 Peter 3:16;
John 14:6; 1 John 4:19;
and John 14:15.)

THE LORD, OUR GUIDE by RFH
As we gracefully mature
more and more,
'tis better
that the LORD
Lead us
with half-steps
thru clover
Than that our enemy
lead us
with full-steps
thru sandspurs.
Half-steps or full-steps, clover or sandspurs
-- come what may --
the LORD is forever
our Guide. Selah.
Psalm 25: "... Guide me
in Your truth and teach
me ..."

TAKE THE CROSS by RFH
Those who desire
to take
the world
by its tail
In eternal matters
shall never
prevail.
Our souls
have been bought
-- no longer
up for sale;
Let us all
take instead
the cross
lest we fail.
"... If any man will
come after Me, let
him deny himself,
and take up his
cross, and follow
Me ..."
Matthew 16:24-27

- - - - - - - - - THE TRUE GOSPEL by RFH
The 'gospel
of prosperity'
is not that much
a rarity;
Is there naught far better
than material wealth?
Yea, 'tis the true gospel
of spiritual health!
"... for I am the LORD
that healeth thee."
Exodus 15:26

understand the following poem.
Please, before reading the
poem, first read the following verses in the order presented Matthew 13: 45, 46; Matt. 7:6; Prov. 9:7-12; Rev. 21:21;
and John 14:16. Thank you. PRICELESS PEARLS
by RFH
The only riches
he collected
his whole life thru
Were the pearls
he found priceless;
way more than
just a few.
The pearl collector
strove to enrich
many others
with his find;
By sharing the Source
from which these came
with any who seemed
not to mind.
Many fine pearls
were cherished
and not shared
in vain;
Some were trampled
underfoot and not
sought for again.
Gather up these pearls
of wisdom --
while ye still may;
Heaven's gates
are built of these
by One known as
The Way.

"You must not trust those who
[act as] mere dogs and swine as if they were able to appreciate either the holiness or the beauty and wealth of spiritual truth." ~ Bible Hub
- - - - - - - - - - - - Be not offended; this poem's title is in con- text with the last line: TO HELL WITH THEM by TAH & RFH Lord, as we consider that which comes from keeping bad company, help us remember this gem: 'Tis better that we take others to heaven with us, than to end up going to hell with them. 1 Cor. 5:11,12 warns us not to keep com- pany with anyone who is overtly sinful.

FINDING PEACE by RFH Do not feel bad, do not get sad, do not let anything drive you mad; Evil shall cease, you'll find release. Rest in the arms of The Prince of Peace. 1 Peter 3:11 "Let him eschew evil, and do good; let him seek peace and ensue it." Isaiah 9:6 "For unto us a Child is born ... a Son is given ... called Wonderful ... Counsel- lor, The Mighty God, The Everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace." Ephesians 4:26 "Be ye angry, and sin not ..."
Some other "peace" verses in Scripture: 1 Peter 3:11; Psalm 29:11; Proverbs 12:20; 2 Thessalonians 3:16; and Psalm 37:37 (and MANY others as well). (c) RFH 8/22/2016 [Nonprofit use permitted] |

TWO NATURES
(anonymous author) Two natures beat within my breast; The one is foul, the one is blessed; The one I love, the one I hate; The one I feed will dominate. -- Anonymous [Some verses of Scripture
that fit this poem are: Gen. 3:22-23; Ps. 10:4-11; Romans 6:6 and 7:21-25; Gal. 5:17; and James 4:2.] - - - - - - - - - Sometimes just a couplet says it all: WHEN IN CONTENTION by RFH When in contention, with salvation we are flirting; Most souls are not as obnoxious as they are hurting. Romans 12:18 says: "If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men." (c) RFH 9/24/2018 [Nonprofit use permitted] |
This short poem is dedicated
to all ministers of God's Word,
for their godly sermons, and
for their heartfelt altar calls.
To them be much credit, and
to God be all the glory.
THE ALTAR CALL
by RFH
Lord, Jesus,
I come to Thee;
maybe not
on bended knee;
But my head is bowed,
my heart contrite;
my life's a mess --
please make it right.

"Come unto me, all ye
... heavy laden, and I
