Has Our Fire Gone Out?

Are we telling the lost world about Jesus?

Or is our fire smoldering and about to go out?

Have we neglected so great a salvation?

Has someone poured water on us and replaced our spark with fear and doubt?

Is it suffocating? Maybe a little blow from the Holy Spirit will make it reignite.

We are in a spiritual battle, it’s a really desperate fight,

The devil wants to hold onto his prey, and hold on tight

But his power is not unlimited, he’s no match for the light.

Still he tries to gain an entrance and tries to gain the right

To steal and kill and destroy everything in sight.

 

Has our fire gone out?

Or are we willing to say like Job did, “Though He slay me, yet will I trust in Him”?

Or are we willing to say, as Esther did, “If I perish, I perish”

when she went before the king,

It was her decision to go without being asked,

Which could have cost her her life, and fast,

But the king held out his scepter and listened to her request

And in the end many lives were saved because of her behest

She was willing to stand up and speak up for the lost and their plight

She was brave enough to make a difference and make the wrongs all right

And the accuser of her brethren was the one who was killed along with all his sons

Because he tried to do away with God’s people, he was impaled on the pole instead

His own dreadful treatment of the Jews brought death and judgment on his own head.

 

What are we willing to do to fight the good fight?

May we not pretend we don’t see, may we respond with love inside

May we put down our pride and walk side by side with Jesus

The one who calls us to tell the world that He died for all of us.

 

May we stand on the rock who is our fortress and our deliverer

Everything else is shifting sand, may we all take a stand for Jesus.

May we be His hands and His feet, may we all take it to the streets.

Our enemy is a defeated foe, so let’s go, go, go and sew, sew, sew those Gospel seeds,

And get as many people as we can, a little closer to Jesus.

You Can Count On God

When you are feeling too much grief and heartache, And trouble follows everywhere you go, Then call upon the mercies of your Savior, And He'll be there, because He loves you so. When each day brings you one more disappointment, And friends have turned away without a smile, Then He can give you strength and true contentment, His love alone can heal and reconcile. You can count on God to heal the brokenhearted You can count on God to make a way for you You can count on God that you won't be forsaken He cares, and all His promises come true When life just seems to be too hard to handle, And sorrows bring their burning midnight pain, Then he can give you peace in spite of trial, He sends a rainbow after every rain. You can count on God to heal the brokenhearted You can count on God to make a way for you You can count on God that you won't be forsaken He cares, and all His promises come true You can count on God.

Soul Destination

You plan for your future, You plan for your schooling, You plan for your marriage You plan for your home, You plan for your kids, You plan for your car, But isn’t it bizarre …  that you don’t plan for your soul?   Maybe you don’t have a precise explanatio n?............ But just think - why have you thought more about your next  long  vacation? Is it because you don’t want to think of such a vexation, As the destination of your soul?   But you plan to go out! You plan for a date! Maybe you even plan to stay out quite late! You’ve even planned to join a league and go bowl, But why don’t you plan for your soul?   You plan to decorate, You plan to participate, You plan to celebrate, But why don’t you plan for your soul?   You plan what’s for dinner, You plan for your lunch, But you don’t even have a hunch about your soul! Shouldn’t it be your most important goal?!!!   We only have one soul, Shouldn’t we make sure it goes to the right place? Because i...
