THE BETTER END

by RFH

A fair warning

to the ungodly

who devise ways

to scheme, plot,

plunder and steal;

Heaven's reserved

for those of us

who've rarely received

the better end

of any deal.

Proverbs 16:19 "Better

it is to be of an humble

spirit with the lowly, than

to divide the spoil with

the proud."

1 Corinthians 6:9-11 [in

part] "Or do you not know

that the unrighteous shall

not inherit the kingdom

of God? Do not be de-

ceived ..."

The following (set up as a poem) is the
3rd stanza (plus the refrain) of a hymn
("Our Father's Love") by Frederick M.
Lehman; stanza 3 specifically by Meir
Ben Isaac Nehorai) that was recently
discovered by RFH in a hymnal (The
Celebration Hymnal by Word Music /
Integrity Music). It was copyrighted in
1997 by Integrity's Hosanna! Music
and Word Music (a division of WORD
MUSIC). As all rights are reserved,

mission from said publishers. With that
understood, enjoy these thoughts with
awe and wonder:

OUR FATHER'S LOVE
      (by authors aforementioned)

Could we with ink the ocean fill
And were the skies of parchment made,

Were every stalk on earth a quill
And every man a scribe by trade,

To write the love of God above
Would drain the ocean dry;

Nor could the scroll contain the whole,
Tho' stretched from sky to sky.

O love of God, how rich and pure!
How measureless and strong!

It shall forevermore endure --
The saints' and angels' song!

Jeremiah 31:3 (NIV) "I have loved
you with an everlasting love."

       (See also Psalm 103:8-11)

MORE THAN BLEST

by RFH

'Twould be better

for me to say:

I'm more than blest

this very day!

Numbers 6:24-26 "The

LORD bless thee, and

keep thee ... make His

face shine upon thee ...

and give thee peace."

Psalm 30:5 "For his

anger endureth but for

a moment ... weeping

may endure for a night,

but joy cometh in the

morning."

Note: Remember when the
worship "service" was long
ago called the worship hour?
Thank you, Bill M., for helping
to bring back the 30-minute
sermon. This is for you:

POWERFUL SERMON
by RFH

Such a great sermon
said with God's power

And even executed
in just half an hour.
