Welcome~

Hello and Welcome~


The world is blind to these SEVEN, pivotal facts:

1. The Bible communicates Heaven’s 'Multi-millennial Strategic Plan for Humanity'.

2. There are SEVEN ages appointed for humanity.

3. We are nearing the end of the THIRD age, a pivotal turning point in this strategy.

4. A GREAT falling away from the Christian faith is predicted during the ending days of this THIRD age, as a result of backsliding, general lukewarmness and outright apostasy among the heretofore faithful. Look around and this you will clearly see.

5. Biblical prophecies have been and remain seeds of human history.

6. Yet-fulfilled prophecies, unfolding apace, are worthy of diligent study.

7. Now is the time to get and stay on ‘the right side of Bible prophecy’.

Grace Extended, Ended (Poem)


Grace! Grace! Wonderful Grace, to all mankind extended,
To sinner and saint alike, it is intended.
Of God, Himself, this is both the heart and nature:
All of humankind He longs in Grace to nurture.

Our heart and nature are inclined and so slanted,
To always ignore and take His Grace for granted.
For sure, of this I am as guilty as are you,
Yet He extends more Grace to us than we are due.

Then as we plot along in our myopic ways,
We are shocked when we encounter …devils’ forays!
We wonder, ‘What’s this?! Where’s this good God
I once heard about?!’
Thinking of Grace, we wonder of it
…are we in a drought.

Though to you and me it may not at first appear,
Through tests and trials, God’s Grace is especially near,
For those inclined to repent and in His ways to grow.
But for those otherwise inclined, this you need to know.

While riding down their life’s
Grace-eased highway, pridefully,
One day they’ll encounter roads that are quite slippery!
Slipping and sliding, they will eventually fall, 1
Unaware Grace to them extended has been …recalled.

While it is true, we now all live in God’s
Great Grace Season, 2
That time between Christ’s Cross
and the coming Tribulation,
Here is an important message for sinners, hardnosed:
Grace still comes with an expiration date, undisclosed.
----------
1 The Age of Grace
2 Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall. (Proverbs 16:18) The greatest prideful error is to deny The Almighty, and put self on the throne of your life.

Fake News or Truth? (Poem)


‘Fake news! Fake news! It is all fake news, folks.’
Where there’s Truth, fake news will challenge and choke.
So why now so much concern and furor,
And many who claim to be …Truth’s juror?

How do we distinguish fake news from Truth?
Must we all now become a ‘fake news sleuth?’
Is fake news or Truth in your head or heart?
What in us serves as our ‘fake news rampart?’

Back in Eden, fake news sought Truth to cloak.
Eve fell for it, so lies she couldn’t revoke.
By it all, Adam was really not deceived,
Thus for us all, the web of sin they weaved.

Since then, more and more Truth has been revealed,
And we’ve learned Truth needs no defensive shield.
Where there’s Truth, fake news abounds, definitionally,
And like Eve, to it many lean, deferentially.

And what about you? To which are you inclined?
If to fake news, then to Truth, you will be blind.
But if to Truth you are aligned, by it you will be free, 1
And thus you will escape the world’s mounting
fake news frenzy!

To counter a Syrian siege against the Jews,
God caused the Syrians to hear some troubling news.
At the noise of a great army, they tucked their tails and ran!
Truth or fake news, since no visible army was at hand? 2

‘I’m The Way, Truth and Life’, said Jesus to 12 guys.
Are His words Truth to you, or something …otherwise?
‘No one comes to God but through Me’, He continued. 3
Again, to you, Truth or some …fake news platitude?

How about this: ‘To enter in God’s Kingdom - Heaven,
You must be born again.’ Fake news or Truth to hearken? 4
‘You have one Father in Heaven, so call no man Father.’ 5
Truth to obey, or fake news, so there’s no need to bother?

‘We are all God’s children, Don’t worry!
No need to be glum!
And there is no hell, but only a ...telestial kingdom.’ 6
Is this Truth to which we should cling, or fake news to flee?
Study the Bible, and from this fake news, you’ll be free.

In my pursuit of Truth, this is what I realize:
Truth is always established first, then come all the lies.
If we pursue God’s Bible Truth, then we’ll know
…Truth-retrofit,
Like we study money authentic to know the counterfeit.

Truth is adorned with a beautiful singularity.
Fake news has many conflicting versions. No clarity.
When to Truth that God reveals, we shut our eyes and ears,
Fake news steps in and sows seeds to our greatest of fears.

He who loves Truth will, by Truth, be so occupied,
He’ll let God ensure fake news is identified.
Like he who cried, ‘Wolf! Wolf!’when there was none for real,
He who cries, ‘Fake news!’, just fears what Truth will reveal!!!
----------
1 Jesus said, ‘If you abide in My word, you are My disciples indeed. And you shall know the Truth, and the Truth shall make you free.’ (John 8:31-32)
2 Read this fascinating historical story in 2 Kings 7.
3 See the context of this bold assertion Jesus made in John 14.
4 Read the conversation Jesus had with Nicodemus in John 3.
5 See: Matthew 23:9
6 Research the source of this non-Biblical doctrine. Prayerfully seek to understand Bible distinctions between God’s creations, children, and His sons.

Album 6: For You (Lyrics & Video)

Soundtrack here

For You, the reason I sing
It’s to You, I always will cling
It’s for You, all praises I bring
All for You, all for You, and only for You

It is for You, new life I now live
It’s for You, to others I give
It’s for You, I also forgive
All for You, for You, for You
To You all glory is due

All that I am, and ever hope to be
That is the key: It’s for You

For me, You left Your glory Throne
So salvation seeds could be sown
Into my heart, Your seeds did fall 
Now by You, righteous I am called

For me You came to show the way
How to stop being devils’ prey
To their schemes, You opened my eyes
Now for You, I eschew their lies

For me, soldiers stripped your back bear
Their whip into Your flesh did tear 
For my sickness, those stripes did pay
Now for You, Your health I display

For me You died, were crucified
With all my sin, You were allied
With You I died, death fraternal
Now for You, my life is eternal

It is for You, Your Word I attend
It’s to You, my knee I do bend
It’s for You, my ways I amend
All for You, created for You, for You

It is You, whom I adore
It’s for You, my sin I deplore
It’s for You, Your Love I outpour
For You, all for You, only You,
Only for You

I’ll tell the world, to life that’s the key
That is the key: It’s for You
It’s for You, and only You
All that I am, and ever hope to be
It is for You
It is for You, for You

Album 6: Step Out On Faith (Lyrics & Video)

Listen here
Soundtrack here

I’m gonna …step
      Step, step out on faith
          Step out on faith
I’m gonna …do it
        Do it without delay
          No more delays 
I’ve got His …Spirit
     Spirit to help run my race
            Help run my race
So I’m gonna …step
Step, step out on faith
          Step out on faith

….Step, step
      Step, step out on faith
          Step out on faith
I’m gonna …do it
      Do it without delay
          Oh yes I am!
I’ve got His …Spirit
     Spirit to help run my race
            Help run my race
I’m gonna …step
Step, step out on faith
          Step out on faith

And this is why…
      It matters very much
            It really matters to Him
      He’s very pleased with such
God’s Word says Faith pleases Him
      Come join me in this race
            C’mon in there is room for you
      Alive to Him by Grace
            By Grace……
           
C’mon let’s …step
      Step, step out on faith
          Step out on faith
C’mon let’s …do it
      Do it without delay
          No more delays 
He gave us His Spirit
     Spirit to help run the race
            He’ll help us run the race
So let us …step
Step, step out on faith
          Step out on our faith

      Move without delay
            No more delay, no delay
      Don’t wait until someday
Now, faith is the substance…
      Do the life survey
The substance of things hoped for,
evidence of things unseen
      Stay on faith’s highway

I’m gonna …step
      Step, step out on faith
          Step out on faith
I’m gonna …do it
      Do it without delay
          No more delays 
I’m gonna take a step
     Step as He leads the way
            He will lead the way
Oh yes He will
Step, step out on faith
          Step out on faith

And when from walking by faith you do shrink
And into your fears you begin to sink
Your victories in life will become few
So this is what I suggest you should do…

Get up …brush off, and get back on your faith 
Brush off, and get back on faith
Of your life
Your life, do a survey
To see where you can
Where you can, step out on faith
      Step out on your faith
Get back in the race

It matters very much
Four times it’s written in His Word
He’s very pleased with such
‘Walk by faith!’, God says. Haven’t you heard?
So never quit your race
You’ve got to stay in your race
You will make it by His awesome Grace

C’mon let’s …step
Step, step out on faith,
Step out on faith
C’mon let’s …do it
      Do it without delay
          No more delays 
He gave us His Spirit
     Spirit to help run the race
            To help us run the race
So let us …step
Step, step out on faith
          Step out on our faith

I’m gonna …step
      Step, step out on faith
          Step out on faith
I’m gonna …do it
      Do it without delay
          Oh yes I am, no more delays 
I’ve got His …Spirit
     Spirit to help run my race
            Help run my race
So I’m gonna …step
Step, step out on faith
          Step out on faith
