Breach the silence, thank God for another day, keep hope aware, …
Youth in upstate New York (1953-1981) was exciting with loving parents, Dan and Olive. But life was peppered with their arguments over money and alcohol. My undiscovered dyslexia caused both confusion in school and a way for me to think outside of the box into creativity.
Being raised as a latchkey kid fostered a turbulent adolescence which set up the wild years. A Harley Motorcycle crash first limited me physically with a back injury. Raising my dog, Pipper helped…..
The world grows darker in sin and rebellion against God the Son, Lord Jesus Christ and His army of Christians. By going about business as usual one needs to question oneself about their own seriousness as a true child of God, “Am I responding correctly to the growing hostility toward, Lord Jesus and Christians?” (Ephesians 6:10-20)
The sin of pride hates Jesus and hates being told to submit to God. The sin of pride will manifest itself through many sins…..
God is in control and He uses any thing or any way to administer His grace in His gift of salvation. From age sixty-five I look back to age twenty-one and see the Providence of God orchestrate a devastating event in the life He gave me. From a motorcycle crash came a traumatic brain injury amounting to severe memory loss. Beginning to write my thoughts on paper allowed me to capture bits of life. After eighteen months my first lyric…..
Earth is for the glory of God, to create and refine a race of believers to worship Him in heaven always. Only through God’s gift of faith in Lord Jesus Christ, is God’s gift of eternal heaven believed. Telling His Story is our purpose. God offers salvation and trusting humans receive His love. Only by God’s loving gift of grace is the eternal soul saved from eternal hell. Telling His Story-MDR Song Publishing by Michael D. Rourke.
I know because the Bible tells me so. Jesus said in Matthew 12:30 He who is not with Me is against Me, and he who does not gather with Me scatters abroad.
The two sides of the cold reality war are either fullness or emptiness. Either with or without Jesus.
Truth verses fiction is all the difference in the world separating heaven and hell in the #coldrealitywar of our time in America, of our time on earth.
A cold war has…..
Do not be surprised at things going bad. Instead prepare for more, much more evil in this present time as the one world system gains more momentum away from the God of the Bible.
The good news is, as God allows the collapse of the environment, economic, and social systems, more true Christians will be drawn to salvation in Christ. Through pain comes joy.
Thus, more souls saved is God’s plan until ALL of His are fully in His grace…..
Thank You Father God, for making this short life truly meaningful and worthwhile. You give to all the only Savior sent for souls to be saved.
You bring eternal souls into truth with Your being. Your gift of Jesus, our Mediator, brings peace from Your impending final judgment.
Our sins and hell’s eternal punishment has been removed by the cross of Christ. You give everlasting union with You, Your Son and Your Holy Spirit.
You make faithful believers in Christ,…..
All sin is proud, self-centered shroud, pride draws a crowd,
no crying out loud, Jesus saves.
But deep within, one soul of sin, God’s grace charges in,
a new life begins, Jesus saves.
Count the cost, tell the lost, and bring the word of God,
Seek the youth, speak God’s truth, and bring the word of God,
There is only one King, only one name to sing, Jesus
There is nothing I bring, One above everything, Jesus

The ongoing mixture of calm and chaos brought about more acceptances with the struggles in my new life. Without the mess of stress from what I brought into my life with artsy endeavors, I was okay with life’s ups and downs. But I wanted more goodness and less sin. I bought another Bible on July first; the New King James Version was my fourth Bible. I liked my new version; the…..
