Is your goal a goal that pays you dividends in time or, more importantly, rewards for eternity? How many…
“Follow Me!” “We do not choose the battlefields in life But we are to follow the colors to the top of the hill; We cannot water the gardens where seeds have been planted But someday we will see the flowers that bloomed!” – C. S. Craig October 20, 2018
DREAMING FACES Pale horses fly Across the purple twilight Ghost riders in the sky Fade away with the night Phantoms in portals begin to form Fleeting figures, misty places Delusions, til night turns to morn All is well on dreaming faces – C. S. Craig September 19, 2017
MEMORY GARDEN The roads of life are sweeter, shared Let us steal away if we dare On paths of wonder, winds of change Timeless moments – life unchained Each day a new road meant for two We’ll make a memory garden, me and you We’ll sleep in wild rose meadows deep Until the night time shadows creep……

The Doctrine of Imputation/The Gift of Volition God created both angels and humanity, and to both God gave volition – our own individual freedom to choose.

When the foundations of earth were poured On what were the footings formed Who set in place the cornerstone Who divided the waters from the land Who measured the way or the distance of existence Tell Me, if you truly understand. What is in your heart? You, Lord! It was you who did these things, and I was not….
Run Silent – Run Deep Read the silence – hear the view Laughing, weeping without you Silence runs deep – see the sound Read the silence – hear the view Laughing, weeping without you Run silent – run deep – C. S. Craig September 1, 2014
Withdraw into spiritual silence Kneel in your soul-temple Sense the Lord’s spiritual perfection Behold the Lamb of God Take refuge in God’s love Inhale God’s eternal breath In the presence of God’s divine glory Linger and be still. – C. S. Craig

As he held her in his arms before she departed, she whispered – “Look for me there, kiss me there.” Then, she crossed the finish line. The years have passed – the sun warms the earth As spring resurrection ends the winter curse Now, his time to depart has come And with his last breath he whispered – “I’ll look…
As “I Am,” you died for me. As I meditate, you speak to my soul. As I study, you teach me and give me understanding. As I seek, you reveal yourself. As I search, you guide me. As I pray, you always listen. As I learn, your Word inspires me. As I breathe, your breath renews me. As I sleep,…
There’s a place just down the road No one knows how far Where every soul must go No matter who you are There’s a place just down the road And no one can really state When they will meet the end of that road And shake the hand of fate There’s a place just down the road Where every name…

I’d rather be taught by the pastor-teacher Than preached to by the preacher; I’d rather one would walk with me, Than tell me where, and how, I ought to be. Sermons give advice for everyone But I’d sooner see it lived and done; My eyes listen better than my ears Vision seems to make hearing clearer. C. S. Craig –…
