1-16-15 Fellowship

To fellowship with God and Christ His Son

Is truly what we strive for every day,

For when we’re one with them as they are one

The Triune God will have His will and way.

Adopted by our God, He’s Father now,

So we draw near to Him through Jesus Christ,

And in His loving presence He’ll endow

His endless love of us so well sufficed.

In Jesus we partake the bread of life;

His boundless love does pulse within our veins

To send us to a world of pain and strife

To rescue more of His that still remains.

In God the Father and in God the Son

In God the Holy Ghost we all are One.

~~~~~~~~~~~

… truly our fellowship is with the Father,

and with his Son Jesus Christ.

1 John 1:3 KJV

6-29-14 Nothing But the Truth (a Sonnet)

The blood of Christ has washed away our sins

And with it all the need to hide and lie;

Now being one with Him in Truth begins

A Life that marks the Way we can’t deny.

The Holy Spirit fills us with the Word,

And so imbued an authenticity

That calls us to be truthful once conferred

In Spirit and in multiplicity.

We all are brothers now of one accord,

So when we speak deception to our kin

We do so to ourselves and to our Lord,

Marking us in shame unto this sin.

You know the truth and it has set you free.

With freedom comes responsibility.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

Since you put away lying,

Speak the truth, each one to his neighbor,

because we are members of one another.

Ephesians 4:25
