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.

Rejecting Christ

Statements

  • If you reject Christ, you reject the Father. If you mock Jesus, you have the not only him to deal with on judgment day but the father also.
  • If you make light of Christ and reject him or mock him, you do this to the only one who can save you from hell!
  • If you reject Jesus, one day He will reject you.
  • For Christians, this life, with all its exposure to sin and unrighteousness, is the closest thing to hell that we will ever experience. For non-Christians this is the closest thing to heaven that they will experience. It will not be a party in hell. All goodness and grace and mercy will be gone.

Quotes

  • Matthew Henry said, “To the wicked man, death is the end of all joys; to a godly man, it is the end of all griefs.”

Final Judgement

Scripture

  • Hebrews 9:27-28 – “And just as it is appointed for man to die once, and after that comes judgment, so Christ, having been offered once to bear the sins of many, will appear a second time, not to deal with sin but to save those who are eagerly waiting for him.”
  • 2 Peter 2:4-10 – “For if God did not spare angels when they sinned, but cast them into hell and committed them to chains of gloomy darkness to be kept until the judgment; if he did not spare the ancient world, but preserved Noah, a herald of righteousness, with seven others, when he brought a flood upon the world of the ungodly; if by turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah to ashes he condemned them to extinction, making them an example of what is going to happen to the ungodly; and if he rescued righteous Lot, greatly distressed by the sensual conduct of the wicked (for as that righteous man lived among them day after day, he was tormenting his righteous soul over their lawless deeds that he saw and heard); then the Lord knows how to rescue the godly from trials, and to keep the unrighteous under punishment until the day of judgment, and especially those who indulge in the lust of defiling passion and despise authority.”

Quotes

  • Paul Washer says, “God does not throw sin into hell. He throws sinners into hell. And hell is not hell because God is not there. Hell is hell because God is there in the fullness of His wrath. This is the God of the scripture.”
