“spiritual” pride

If you want to be known as a man or woman of prayer, I’m sorry for your arrogance. May your desire for carnal acclaim, your wish to “use God” utterly fail.  May you, conceited soul, soon find a place to beg God’s forgiveness for your “spiritual” pride. Repent, leave hypocrisy forever behind and become a man/woman who secretly intercedes with God.

THAT MIDDLE CROSS

Three crosses silhouetted against the sky,

A thief dying on one – he didn’t get by.

And a thief is dying on a third frame;

His sin was similar, his punishment the same.

But Who dies on that middle cross

What has He done – that life should be a loss?

Is He a big sinner? Say, what is His crime?

He had no sin, friend, until He took yours and mine.

His death is a redemptive death;

He replaced, ah, replaces, mortal man.

The Son of God died for sinners –

Have you heard/proclaimed this grand plan?

His resurrection

A wonderful Being,

God/Man, Man/God died for our sins – yours and mine. He arose from the dead – He was physically dead and He came back to life, to live evermore. Never, NEVER doubt these two intricately connected, most important events in all human history. What satan has been too successful in doing is 1.) connecting His Resurrection with spring 2.) connecting It with chicks/rabbits/eggs 3.) connecting His Resurrection with new clothes 4.) connecting It with pagan cyclicalism. Please, as much as you can, push aside the pagan/worldly paraphernalia and honor CHRIST.

His resurrection is our only hope for tomorrow.
