Glory Lights
I cherish the beauty of your thoughts, Lord. I listen to your voice in my night-soul. Your Word is filled with glory lights That shine in the depths, and in the heights. – C. S. Craig
Stills
Memories of you and I Speak softly from the bye and bye Words once spoken now are gone Another day another dawn Flowers take showers in the morning dew Precious moments spent with you Love like water overflowing Fills my heart and stills the morning – C. S. Craig
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
Fence posts with marshmallow hats Between the crystal strings Snow sculptured landscape The beauty that winter brings A blanket of snow covers the fields Shrubs tucked away like an arctic rose Trees wear jackets of crimson The evening sun turns earth to gold. – C. S. Craig
Reality Reflected
Blue is the radiance that surrounds His Throne Blue is the sky above the earth Green is the light that encircles His Glory Green is the covering over the earth. – C. S. Craig
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 the memories we hate The voice that fell on deaf ears Was the wisdom in…
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. – C. S. Craig
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 brace 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…
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…
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. It’s one or the other.” – C. S. Craig C. S. Lewis…
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 its Savior (Christ) has risen from the dead. If one says…
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…
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…
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 of humanity, became sinners by birth. All of us inherited Adam’s sin-loving nature. All of us can inherit Christ’s righteous-loving nature, if we choose… wisely. The Grace of God is free to all…
Anthropology
The study of man’s origin, history, and destiny in relation to God.
Contentment
Contentment dwells under silken wings. The earth is quiet, resting in winter sleep. Special thoughts of you are a light of golden flame, one 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…
