How Long Halt Ye....

And Elijah came unto all the people, and said, How long halt ye between two opinions? if the LORD be God, follow him: but if Baal, then follow him. And the people answered him not a word. - 1 Kings 18:21


It is not a game.

There is a seriousness of life that we cannot continue to ignore. Look around...extraordinary things, both good and bad, are shaping the state of our affairs; sudden violent weather, wars and genocide, economic recessions, unprecedented numbers of people homeless, hungry, and disillusioned.

How long halt ye between opinions?

There is an urgency to pick a side. We have been given the freewill to do whatever we please and this freedom makes you responsible to suffer the consequences. And those consequences will be with you and your soul for an eternity.

The fence is rapidly being taken down - there will soon be nothing to straddle. In anything, you must commit; you must make a conscious decision to draw a definitive line and truthfully defend your position.

We cannot continue to play with God, nor play with our dedication to Him and His work. If we are not anchored in something steadfast, we will be swept away in the coming tide. You are saved or lost. You are either actively pursuing the work God has ordained in your life or you are not.

There is no middle ground. There is no Christian waiting period or an introductory trial offer that lets you try it out for 30 days, play around with it, and see if it fits in your life. The spiritual powers that want to destroy your life are not asleep or taking days off; they are putting in overtime and hiring new employees daily. Hell is not in a recession.

Seriously evaluate the state of your life and the direction that it is going. If it needs changing...change it. If it needs upgrading..upgrade it.

But riding the fence is no longer an option....How long halt ye between two opinions?

Gifts are Given...

Of course it felt like Monday. The chaos that normally ensues when you hit the jobsite was obvious today. Things were not going well. Things were late…jobs were not being done properly, but I pressed on as the minutes turned into hours. The stress of the morning was oppressive. The stress of the afternoon was even more stifling. But count it all joy. Normally the end of the week is smooth sailing. But normal is a cruel friend that only seems to show up when you don’t need him. I had to take a moment to just breathe and relax. In that moment God gave me a reminder – this job, this life, your assets are His gifts. God has allowed me to be in this position during this season and He is controlling this job. He gave it to me and in His wisdom He can take it away. It’s easy to stress or become frustrated over things that you think you control. But when you realize that you are where you are not because of your intelligence or hardwork or strength or resolve, then the picture becomes...

Ready for War...

The battle rages, from zero to infinite ages The blood drips, tasteless, and without fragrance The stench is foul, so flagrant, as I gaze in amazement The days when stars were a’blazing and Geico’s cavemen Saints blend in, defensive to sin, so they’re offensive to men Soul food’s not made in the kitchen my friend Visit with Him then ask for deliverance then Strap on the armor….you’re on a mission to win Dissent will come then as the demons are gathered And spring from the stronghold…but none of that matters I’ll take the Spirit and leave them all tattered Smashed into fine matter and leave their bones scattered Tell them stay off my lawn, equipped with Bibles and brawn Praising God with old songs and daring hellhounds to come Lucifer threw down his gauntlet, I’m dressed exclusive in blessings Satan made it to the playoffs…but heaven wins the series in seven Always testing, never resting, my God equipped me for stress And gave me resolve to keep living until He lessens my breath I’m imp...

Unknown to Many...

Cold breezes blow boldly, low feelings of losses No passion, no action, serene scenery glosses Tossed by swirling emotions, lonesome in this life Pretend strife is not visible like a bridegroom & no wife Because the standard is this, a man stands beside the Pit Can’t deny the riff as words of love die on my lips Tried & I tripped, fell over, but never in love’s shadow Tragic, no warm magic surrounded & I lost the battle Dazzled in my own light, not seeing the radiance of One So I traveled alone, not knowing I was only a torch to the Sun Deplored to run and falter, halted but I refrained to see Sought the other half of my soul, but she never came to me Remaining free, but true freedom lies in long hair locks That shimmer with womanhood and who holds a box In her bosom, for me and our union shall never part She will walk beside me and cherish my heart. As the silence from the keyboard dies miserably, Heather Headley croons “In My Mind” as though her soul had dined with ...
