Temple of the Soul: Poem

From The Heart, Love, Meaning of Life

Temple of the Soul

In the temple of our human souls stands an altar of solid unblemished gold

Where polished and burnished, flawless and without seams,

Our hearts are revealed both young and old while living out illusionary themes,

And though without question our hearts are not empty,

They are filled with visions of our deeds, our lives, our desires of flesh.

Yet our living souls in perfect image – where no other can truly read – nor gaze.

It is a place of grand communion – a temple impossible for another soul to brave.

Neither father nor mother nor lover or friend can share this great chasm

Or its unobtainable great seat,

For only Jesus our Savior, Jesus our friend can commune with our soul in our lives without end.

This unique human place where God and human soul can chance meet,

Where God can become friend and our soul He can mend,

Beyond treasure, beyond prize in our short diminutive lives,

Christ abiding in the Temple of our Souls as Bridegroom with Bride,

Friend and befriended, alive and ever alive.

Misappropriating Love

Tags

From The Heart, Love, Steven R. Harrel for This Side of the Whirlwind

Most of us know that love and sex are worlds apart.  Nevertheless, nearly every outspoken morally minded person has had to endure the absurd justifications for errant and immoral sexual conduct BY those caught in our spheres of influence.

Consider:

How often have you encountered a guilty abuser justifying their aberrant sexual relationship using this phrase, “But we love each other”?

Objectively consider this fact… we DO NOT have sex with 98% of the people we truly love AND YET, somehow, we are able to continue loving those individuals!  Go figure?

We all recognize that love is neither a requisite nor obligate for sex.

We also know that sex does not mean love.

In fact, if you had sex with that other 98% of those you love and don’t have sex with… you’d destroy your relationship with those individuals, probably forever.

From The Heart

I was reading a Post deriding the new “Reproductive Health Act” regarding Full-Term Abortions and could not avoid my ire!

Then said to myself, “Wait a minute, maybe we should simply look for the silver lining to this ugly legislation. So, here’s what I was thinking as horrible as it might sound!

Maybe we should vote for an amendment to New York’s Reproductive Health Act.  An amendment which would allow every baby to come to Full-Term and then have both parties represented: both the mother and the Newborn.

Just think of it:

• Both the Segregate and the Baby will have Lawyers representing their rights and positions immediately following the delivery.   
• Each Lawyer will have a chance to argue on behalf of their client’s best interest.  
• The baby might even have a 50/50 chance or better to abort the Segregate.  
• After all, the baby is an innocent and cute and has never attempted to harm a living soul. 
• The Segregate, well, she was willing to kill her own Newborn child!

If this were the law the mother wouldn’t stand a chance.

Just a thought, but the number of human baby abortions just might go down!

As I said, I could not avoid the ire!

Just another sign of Christ’s soon coming return.

2 Timothy 3:1-7

“Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth!”

This Side of the Whirlwind’s: Who Can Learn?

Who Can Learn?

Scripture supports itself!

Who can accurately learn and understand the message found in God’s Word?

Well, according to Isaiah 28:9–13 and Hebrews 5:12-14, God teaches and enlightens those who mature in the pursuit of His Word and His Will:

For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed into the image of his Son… (Romans 8:29 NIV)

So who will HE teach?

Eternal Hope: Poem

Love, Meaning of Life

Ever endure and never give up!

Eternal Hope

Decades passed entrenched in great, deep abiding hope

In joy of life we danced and sang and loved and drank in life’s inordinate soul

Valiantly I fought to keep the love of life alive

Alas alone my partner drank my strength till hope did die

Yet on I plod, in endless hope to find again that spring

But I had not a partner true to save me when I screamed:

Help, save me, catch me quick for in the mire I sink

For hope long lost can drag one down beneath the hopeful spring.

For abides the endless depth of never ending hope

From fools who plod alone until hope has drowned their soul.

Then from said soul the spring of hope is fed so others stride

Until they feed eternal hope until they too do stride.

The Second Half of Christ’s Covenant Part 3

The Second Half of Christ’s Covenant

Part 3

We left off with this contract between God and Humanity:

Behold, I set before you today a blessing and a curse;

• the blessing, if you obey the commandment of the LORD your God which I command you today;
• And the Curse (Judgment) if you do not obey the commandments of the LORD your God which I command you today. (Deuteronomy 11:26-28 NKJV)

Now, let’s look at the Split Versing of the Covenant of Jesus Christ.”  The two divisions of the contract or covenant can be seen in Isaiah 61:1 and 2.

First Half of the Covenant”

At the beginning of His ministry Jesus announced Himself the fulfillment of the Blessing’s Half of the Contract when He said Isaiah 61:1-2a was fulfilled by Him (Jesus).  He did this on the day He entered into His hometown Synagogue in Nazareth (Luke 4:14-21) and proclaimed Himself Israel’s Messiah.  Here is what He read, Isaiah 61:1-2a:

 “The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon Me, because the LORD has anointed Me to preach glad tidings to the poor; He has sent Me to bind up the brokenhearted; to proclaim liberty to the captives; and the opening of the prison to those who are bound;

In the Fullness of Time 1

When God determines the world has reached the fullness of time (Ephesians 1:7-12 found at end of Post)  Jesus will come to gather all those individuals who have accepted His covenant through His propitiation or payment for sin.

Sadly, when the Lord returns, many of the saints will have been deceived by those tempting lies perpetrated by the Beast via The Church’s mistaken End-Times teachings.

The current End-Times misunderstanding (Pre, Mid and Post Tribulation teachings as well as A-Millennialism and Preterism) will cause many believers to be utterly unprepared for the difficulties we must face during the upcoming crucible.  Further, because of such teachings misrepresent what is coming and why the Saints will not know what is going on and why.

Ready or not, the “End of Days” is coming with the Beast and the Mark of the Beast deceiving many before the Tribulation Period can even begin.

KNOW WHAT IS COMING!
