Read a Poem Out Loud

Using rhythmic poetry is pleasing to the ear and catches the attention of those who pass by. Fill your poems with rich truths from scripture.

The Light
Jesus is the light, He you cannot fight.
Listen to your Lord, for Hell, you can’t afford.
(Levi age 6 with help from dad)

Grace and Mercy
If God gave us justice, we’d all end up in Hell. 
So turn to Christ, our Lord and Savior, where grace and mercy dwell. 

Life
Eternal life is a gift. No payment you can make.
Do not try to earn God’s favor, or eternal death you’ll take.

Rescue
You say you’ve never murdered. You’ve never robbed a store. 
You’re “not so bad” to get God’s wrath, but it’s knocking at your door.
It’s knocking if you’ve lied and if you’ve lusted too.
Only Christ’s sacrifice can ever rescue you.

All Roads
It’s true what heathens say, “to God leads every path.”
But only one leads to His goodness, all others to His wrath.

The Cup
When the perfect life of Christ expired on a tree, 
The sinless, spotless lamb of God, drank the cup for me.
What was in the cup, that Jesus fully drank?
It was the bitter wrath of God, so He, I daily thank.”

Victory
I’m here to preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ, God’s Son.
He bled and died that we might live; the victory HE won.

Abide
Do not try to run from God. Do not try to hide.
Go to Him through Jesus Christ and forever you’ll abide.

Don’t Hide
There’s nowhere to hide,
So you might just abide. 
(Levi age 6)

Hatred
Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, so many hate that name.
But only He can save your soul. This is not a game.

Flee to Christ
Pack your Bags, abandon your home in Adam,
Christ gives you robes instead of rags.

City of Christ
Flee to the ‘City of Christ,’ it’s borders are open to you.
Abandon your home in Adam, come rest in Christ the New.

Faith Alone

Scripture

  • Romans 1:16-17 – “For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek. For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith for faith, as it is written, “The righteous shall live by faith.”
  • Galatians 3:21-26 – “Is the law then contrary to the promises of God? Certainly not! For if a law had been given that could give life, then righteousness would indeed be by the law. But the Scripture imprisoned everything under sin, so that the promise by faith in Jesus Christ might be given to those who believe. Now before faith came, we were held captive under the law, imprisoned until the coming faith would be revealed. So then, the law was our guardian until Christ came, in order that we might be justified by faith. But now that faith has come, we are no longer under a guardian, or in Christ Jesus you are all sons of God, through faith.
  • Ephesians 2:8-9 – “For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast.”
