Words Of Stone

WORDS OF STONE Where do we find happiness or peace of mind? Is the answer in alcohol and wine? Is it just out of reach ? Is it at the beach? Where do we find happiness or peace of mind? Is the answer in fortune we all seek to find ? Is it with some little honey? Is it really…

The Little Raindrop

There once was a raindrop Believe it or not Afraid to fall from the sky. He looked down and said, “This is too high, I might get hurt, I might even die. What can I do, where can I go? How can I get to the earth below” “You could slide down on me,” said the rainbow. “I touch the…

Eternal Presence

We enter this world with heart and soul We’re here for a while, then called to go. Death is passing through the door That leads us on to evermore Where loved ones patiently wait For our arrival at Heaven’s Gate. Then, we’ll walk together by sacred streams In beauty transcended beyond our dreams Where light and life are one in…

Until We Meet Again

We were created whole – a seamless piece of love. Faith is the most commonly used perception of every human being – yet saving faith is rare. The weeping willow hangs like a widow’s veil, the wind sighing through the spruce trees could be hopeless passion, or misfortune. Who could foretell this frenzied flowing song? Then came the whistling singer….

That Which Is To Come

Wolves rushing in Eagles swooping down Confusion binding truth Untruth leading the blind The Restrainer slowly being withdrawn The way of Anti-Christ is being prepared Tribulation is just ahead Wickedness rules the day Come quickly, Lord Jesus – call us out We’re listening for the trumpet And the thunder of your shout. Amen.   Written Sunday September 18, 2022

The Pride Of Disbelief

THE PRIDE OF DISBELIEF Pride goeth forth to conquer the world But returns to the door and asks for more He who serves others well and says little, merits more Than he who boasts, and clamors at the door Kingdoms rise and kingdoms fall – things destined to be Life goes on as time marches on – to eternity But…

Star-Flier

STAR-FLIER   Our fleshly lives are but a flash-fire, doused by Eternal Water. The twilight years prepare our needy soul for destiny in Christ. Soon, the gathering in the sky; flight with angels on high. No longer a world-crier but a star-flier, singing wind-songs in heavenly chorus, praising God forever more.    C. S. Craig – 7/19/2020

Silver Brushstrokes

 Silver Brushstrokes Branches stretch reaching out  With crooked arms twisted fingers Fearful shadows linger not   The forest begins its nightly moves   The western twilight fades  Into misty-smooth serenity The breath of God becomes the frost That  performs its secret ministry   Frosted trees form crystal archways  Grasses form crystal pendants   God with silver brush-strokes Paints the scenic stillness   …

Glory Returned To Glory

Glory Returned To Glory By C. S. Craig  April 11, 2020 Midday gathered in midnight darkness Sirocco winds brought nimbus clouds, forbidden sun Silence atomic – sins poured out, His awful scream Spiritual separation from The Father, The Holy Spirit Thunderbolts cracked, igniting the heavens The earth stood still, trembling, shaking violently  Then the exhale – “IT IS FINISHED!”  Three…

Thee Or Me, Oh Lord

Does your thinking revolve more around you… or Christ? Is your thinking more about yourself… or others? Is your concern for your own security, or the less fortunate, or even the homeless? What is your goal in life? Is your goal a goal that pays you dividends in time, or rewards for eternity? How many times a day do you…

Dreaming… Faces

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 9/19/17

Soteriology – Part Four – Imputation

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. Imputation of original sin from Adam; imputation of original Righteousness through Jesus Christ. The doctrine of Imputation is one of the most important in Scripture because it explains our desperate need for a Savior,…
