Away in a manger, no crib for a bed,
The little Lord Jesus laid down His sweet head.
The stars in the sky looked down where He lay,
The little Lord Jesus, asleep on the hay.
The cattle are lowing, the Baby awakes,
But little Lord Jesus, no crying He makes;
I love Thee, Lord Jesus, look down from the sky
And [...]

Poison ivy didn’t grow in the bowers of Eden;
Or, if it did, it wasn’t poisonous there.
And the wolf didn’t live in the glens of the Garden;
Or, if so, he was gracious to share.
And we can look back in anger at Adam’s great sin,
And we can wish to have lived in his place.
But there cometh a [...]

I called to mind a lot of my own preaching, times when I had swung across the platform and gesticulated furiously, preaching from the text, “Where sin abounded, grace did much more abound,” or the text, “And the iron did swim.” “Well,” I said, “the preaching was all right; and though it doesn’t seem that [...]

Christ is the center of Creation,
Evolution is anti – Christ.
He was before Darwin’s day;
He is now that “Chuck’s” passed away.
He will be when Darwin is raised,
To face the book for which he was praised.
And Christ, Creator, will be “Chuck’s” judge.
Evolution had a grudge.
It is anti – Christ. - eab, 12/85

Tradition? No. Bible!

If we had no Bible of our own,
Tradition, previous men have sown,
Could matter more to us, today.
Praise God, we have His fine, precious Book,
Each of us must study, as we look
Daily, learning the holy way. -eab, 10/28/08

Sinners Pray?

Sinners in trouble call on God,
Whether on rough sea or hot sod.
It seems a natural reaction;
Their soul’s only satisfaction,
Though last week prayer would’ve seemed odd. -eab, 11/7/07

Men have lied and killed, been so cruel,
To have a few more miles to rule,
Thinking lands, were cruelties worth;
Poor souls. The meek shall inherit the earth! -eab, 2/13/08

You will serve God, or you will serve gold.
Make your contrary assertions ever so bold,
And claim the truth has not been told.
But the love of money is the root of all evil,
The love of gold leads directly to the devil.
Gold can be shaped in various known forms,
It can appear average, or far from the norms,
One [...]
