My Journey to Faith
God, I need to get this out. I can’t carry it around anymore. I feel like I’m breaking. I don’t doubt that You’re real. I never have. But I’m starting to wonder something way more painful—do You see me? Do You really see me? I’m not asking this as someone who’s lost faith. I’m asking […]

Hymn To The Fallen
The coffee sits, black as a crow’s eye,in a cup chipped like an old prophet’s tooth.It steams, a quiet oracle,whispering to the dawn’s frayed hem.Not redemption, no,but close enough—its bitterness kisses the tongue,sharp as a lover’s half-forgotten lie,warm as a hand you swore you’d hold forever.In the diner’s drone,where the light bulb sputters like a […]
Hymn for the Black Brew
When I first heard and sang this song I fell in love with it straight away and have loved it ever since. It is a song of dedication and commitment . The words of the song tell a story. Powerful words to an equally wonderful tune.
In verse one we red of the writer’s faith, in verse two we read how the writer see’s Christ. Verse three goes on to tell us the writer has nothing but love and how they wish to have his saving power. Finally in verse four the writer speaks of the suffering cry of him who died for all mankind
My Solemn Vow – Catherine Baird
Eternal Spirit, my unchanging friend,
I come with joy for Thou art ever near;
O bless my eyes with vision, boundless, pure;
My promise hear in realms where truth is clear.
My faith in Thee I boldly own,
Since Jesus led me to Thy Throne.
Spirit of truth attend me now,
While I present my solemn vow:
All that I am I pledge to Thee,
Spirit of love abide in me.
I see Thy splendour in the Holy One,
Thy might revealed in lowliness and grace;
O may I choose a stable or a cross
If He be there to sanctify my place.
O glory of the Christly name,
Be Thou my treasure and my aim!
All I possess, apart from Thee, is naught,
Still would I offer Thee my life, my love;
So shall the desert be a harvest field,
And my whole being Thy abundance prove.
Lord, I would witness every hour
To my Redeemer’s saving power!
O may I hear, in every suff’ring cry,
The call of Him Who died for all mankind;
Help me to share the Shepherd’s lonely watch,
Or climb the steeps His lost to find.
I dedicate my love to Thee,
That love may overflow in me.
Neither yield ye your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness unto God. For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace (Romans 6:13-14). The Greek […]
Yield Yourself To Him
14 Keep reminding God’s people of these things. Warn them before God against quarreling about words; it is of no value, and only ruins those who listen. 15 Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles the word of truth. 16 Avoid godless chatter, because those who indulge in it will become more and more ungodly. 17 Their teaching will spread like gangrene. Among them are Hymenaeus and Philetus, 18 who have departed from the truth. They say that the resurrection has already taken place, and they destroy the faith of some. 19 Nevertheless, God’s solid foundation stands firm, sealed with this inscription: “The Lord knows those who are his,” and, “Everyone who confesses the name of the Lord must turn away from wickedness.”
20 In a large house there are articles not only of gold and silver, but also of wood and clay; some are for special purposes and some for common use. 21 Those who cleanse themselves from the latter will be instruments for special purposes, made holy, useful to the Master and prepared to do any good work.
22 Flee the evil desires of youth and pursue righteousness, faith, love and peace, along with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart. 23 Don’t have anything to do with foolish and stupid arguments, because you know they produce quarrels. 24 And the Lord’s servant must not be quarrelsome but must be kind to everyone, able to teach, not resentful. 25 Opponents must be gently instructed, in the hope that God will grant them repentance leading them to a knowledge of the truth, 26 and that they will come to their senses and escape from the trap of the devil, who has taken them captive to do his will.
