Antinomian

This is the rejection of the socially established and accepted standards of morality for salvation from the wrath of God. Under the Gospel of Grace, keeping the moral law has no merit for salvation because faith alone in the atonement of Christ’s finished sacrifice alone is the only means for gaining salvation.

Dance No More

As night surrenders to daybreak Clouds dissipate the mountains awake  Sunlight begins to warm the air Created reflections are everywhere  Solar flames across the morning sky Heavenly brush strokes painted on high  Naked trees of purple and crimson Snow white crystals beyond description   Shadows dance on forest floors Day becomes night till they dance no more

I’m Home!

The end of some men’s desire Will come by death in leaping fire When God judges by His Word Then turns and takes His Sword Souls in torments lost in death Separated from God – no eternal rest For the life of many Christ died in vain The cross stood once, but never again  The winds of glory blow on…

His Road

Wisdom is brightest in the dayspring of morn – I have inherited the wind-song.  Wisdom shall flourish like a branch in spring – I drink from wisdom’s fountain.

Someone Once Said …

Someone once said, Life’s the pits and then you die They seem not to care or to learn the reason why God’s Word tells the reason for sin, aging and sorrow But, why read it now when you can read it tomorrow Someone once said, I don’t believe the Bible is God’s Word It wasn’t written by God but, by…

Open My Eyes

My Family Poem

A family is God’s blessing, it means so many things… Words can never really express the love a family brings. A family is sharing and caring for one another … The love of Father and Mother, Sister, Brother. A family is heartfelt pride … A feeling you hold deep inside. A family is home and peaceful living … The second…

My Mother’s Day

She fed me from her gentle breast and comforted me in her arms of rest and on my cheeks tender kisses pressed.  She rocked me in my cradle bed  and watched adoringly my infant head with tears of love and sweet affection shed.  She gazed into my fearful eyes when pain and sickness made me cry and sometimes wept for…

A Tribute To My Dad

Written of my father George Woodrow Craig, Sr. December 13, 1918 – March 30, 2004 Dad was born in times of regression; He fought two wars and lived the great depression. In his day the opportunities were few; ‘Cause he served his country guarding freedom for you. He loved us so much – his children and his wife; And worked…

Whispers Of Love

My love whispers without word or sound, Thoughts only your heart can hear.  My love whispers when our eyes meet,  Or, with a gentle touch, a warm embrace.  My love whispers when we are far apart – The wind carries it to where ever you are.  My love whispers sweet thoughts and memories – So, listen, always listen, for my…

Pages And Ages

Down through the ages On all of history’s pages The story that still amazes Is that Christ died to save us  God inspires from Heaven above Silent words of Justice and Love So very compelling is the story Of the Cross of Christ and His Seat in Glory Writing for the Lord I seek not fame Only, to spread the…

Winter Wonderland

Memories

Memories are the ordinances against us And stand before judgment we must Memory records personal histories The secrets and unsolved mysteries All our works both good and bad Memories we wish we never had Oh, but why did we learn so late Not to make memories we hate The voice that fell on deaf ears Was wisdom all those years…

Gravelords

Death belongs to the grave-lords of the endless night  Who chose their tabernacle of ruin minus light.  Refusing to believe and give Christ the reigns  They now walk in lust-fires tortured in chains.   In the glory of self-hood and worldly charms  They died alone in ego’s arms.

A Cap Or A Crown

What will there be to remember When life has passed December When they dig the hole and put you down Was your life a cap or a crown Where are the signs of mountains climbed Where leads the trail you left behind Did fate cast them into the sea Buried deep the same as thee What will there be to…

Before Time

God’s thinking was Creation Before the beginning of time God must become one of us And enter the world of time God’s thoughts were Grace Before the beginning of time Christ must die for us Or, cancel the beginning of time God’s thoughts were love Before the beginning of time The name of Love was Jesus The beginning and the…

Relationships

RELATIONSHIPS — A WORD OR TWO By C. S. Craig One of the many mysteries of God is the chance encounters that form our relationships, even our destiny. Separate and unique individuals that happened to meet at a place in time, a chance moment that brought them face to face. Eventually, they would become one flesh. She would be fulfilled…

Meaning

What is the meaning of words? What is the meaning of meaning? Questions search for answers. Answers create more questions. The cycle is endless because knowledge is an endless river flowing from God the source of all knowledge. A look at the meaning of words requires the study of numerous categories of knowledge. It requires thought. Thought requires vocabulary. The…

Grace, Energy and Light

The Late Chester McCalley, a Linguist of the Original Languages and Expository Teacher, in his book entitled “The Foundations of Our Great Salvation” wrote:“The more Grace is used, the more it increases.” He went on to say: “Appropriating God’s Grace is like having your bank account increase every time you withdraw money.” In John 1:16,  Grace is exchanged for Grace;…

I Will

There are two wills in life: “I will” and “God’s Will.“ When we become more important than God, “I” dominates our thinking. When God is more important than self, God dominates our thinking and our lives. “Self is god of our life or God is God of our life.” C. S. Craig C. S. Lewis said it well, differently: “There are…

Truth

WHAT IS TRUTH? It is not that Christianity is good as much as it is Truth is good. The result of truth is good. Truth comes by hearing and hearing by the Word of God. Truth originates with God. Truth is the criteria for establishing truth. Jesus Christ IS Truth. Truth redeemed mankind and the truths of God’s Word are…

Left vs. Right

America’s spiritual heritage is on the brink of cultural disaster. The greatest tragedy is: while the naturalist and the liberal slander and mock the Christian faith, they destroy their own freedom and their own soul by the weight of their own liberal humanism. Christianity can never be annihilated because it’s Savior (Christ) has risen from the dead. If one says…

Mind And Reason

The memories of impressions on our lives have been scattered by the winds that blow across our memory banks. Some of these impressions were made by circumstances involving perhaps tragedy, shock, a pleasant surprise, or a fantastic adventure. Other memories were perhaps made from a book, a teacher, a parent, friend or pet. Memories are imprinted by emotional experiences such as happy love and sad…

I Am Conscious

I am conscious! I think! I am aware I exist. I choose. Therefore, I am! Because I exist and I had nothing to do with the origination of my existence, there must be a necessity of cause. It is impossible for nothing to become something. Nothing will always be nothing unless something causes nothing to be something. That something would…

Unmovable Facts

Our steadfastness must be based on unmovable facts so that our faith is unshakeable: The resurrection is recorded history; the sun continues in a strait line completing its circle of warming; the stars still wink from heaven; daily the Word of God fulfills its assignment and returns to the Lord complete; I watch as darkness loses its battle with light…

Learning Is Discovery

Learning is discovery; Discovery is learning! I have discovered that while the world sleeps, wisdom takes a stroll just before the dayspring. Often, I awake early and listen for her voice and the sound of her footsteps. When she passes, I am swept away to the next adventure. Wisdom and I, dancing together, hand in hand, through the fields of…

Your Cross

My iniquities are never hidden in the light of your truth. Because of you Lord, I dwell in the hiding place of your love; soar in the shadow of your wings; rest in your mighty hand. From everlasting you came – to everlasting you go – you are always and forever – I am dust. You have given your angels…

Convictions

The Tree of Christ’s death became the Tree of Our Life. Adam is the only human being who became a sinner by sinning. As his descendants, all men, became sinners by birth. All men inherit Adam’s sin-loving nature. All men can inherit Christ’s Righteous-Loving Nature. The Grace of God is free to all who will believe because Christ paid for…

Contentment

Contentment dwells under silken wings. The earth is quiet, resting in winter sleep. Special thoughts of you are a light of golden flame that warms my heart. If I had wings I would fly to high places. In the dawning and the dusk I see loveliness wrapped in beauty. In the light of thought I see beautiful colors flying on…
