Throwdown At The Hoedown!

So Obadiah went to meet Ahab and told him,
and Ahab went to meet Elijah.
When he saw Elijah, he said to him,
"Is that you, you troubler of Israel?"
"I have not made trouble for Israel," Elijah replied.
"But you and your father's family have.
You have abandoned the LORD's commands
and have followed the Baals.
Now summon the people from all over Israel
to meet me on Mount Carmel.
And bring the four hundred and fifty prophets of Baal
and the four hundred prophets of Asherah,
who eat at Jezebel's table."
~ I Kings 18

Can You See The Real Me?

Can You See The Real Me, Preacher?



You snakes!
You brood of vipers!
How will you escape being condemned to hell?
~ Matthew 23

Well, Do Ya?

But as for you

who forsake the LORD
and forget my holy mountain,
who spread a table for Fortune
and fill bowls of mixed wine for Destiny,
I will destine you for the sword,
and you will all bend down for the slaughter;
for I called but you did not answer,
I spoke but you did not listen.
You did evil in my sight
and chose what displeases me
~ Isaiah 65

Hello... ?

Therefore, Oh house of Israel,
I will judge you,
each one according to his ways,
declares the Sovereign LORD.
Repent!
Turn away from all your offenses;
then sin will not be your downfall.
Rid yourselves of all the offenses
you have committed,
and get a new heart
and a new spirit.
Why will you die,
Oh house of Israel?
~ Ezekiel 18

Free Your Mind

They promise them freedom,
while they themselves are slaves of depravity
for a man is a slave to whatever has mastered him.
~ 2 Peter 2

Heaven Stood Still

Sun and moon stood still in the heavens
at the glint of your flying arrows,
at the lightning of your flashing spear.
~ Habakkuk 3

Daughter Of A Loony

For you are a holy people
unto the LORD your GOD
and the LORD has chosen you
to be a peculiar people unto himself,
above all the nations that are upon the earth.
~ Deuteronomy 14

America

Why is my pain unending
and my wound grievous and incurable?
Will you be to me like a deceptive brook,
like a spring that fails?
Therefore this is what the LORD says:
"If you repent, I will restore you
that you may serve me;
if you utter worthy, not worthless, words,
you will be my spokesman.
Let this people turn to you,
but you must not turn to them.
I will make you a wall to this people,
a fortified wall of bronze;
they will fight against you
but will not overcome you,
for I am with you
to rescue and save you"
declares the LORD.
~ Jeremiah 15

Love Is Blue

Speak to the Israelites and say to them:
Throughout the generations to come
you are to make tassels on the corners of your garments,
with a blue cord on each tassel...
~ Numbers 15

Ark Of The Covenant

But I will establish my covenant with you,
and you will enter the ark...
you and your sons
and your wife
and your sons' wives with you.
~ Genesis 6

Go To The Mirror, Boy

Do not merely listen to the word,
and so deceive yourselves.
Do what it says.
Anyone who listens to the word
but does not do what it says
is like a man who looks at his face in a mirror
and, after looking at himself,
goes away and immediately forgets what he looks like.
~ James 1

Civilisation

For God does speak...

now one way,
now another...
though man may not perceive it.
~ Job 33

Black & Blue

Ah, sinful nation,
a people loaded with guilt,
a brood of evildoers,
children given to corruption!
They have forsaken the LORD;
they have spurned the Holy One of Israel
and turned their backs on him.
Why should you be beaten anymore?
Why do you persist in rebellion?
Your whole head is injured,
your whole heart afflicted.
~ Isaiah 1

"Did you bring me sacrifices and offerings
forty years in the desert, Oh house of Israel?
~ Amos 5



For forty years
I was angry with that generation;
I said,
"They are a people whose hearts go astray,
and they have not known my ways."
~ Psalm 95

Heart Of Gold

The crucible for silver
and the furnace for gold,
but the LORD tests the heart
~ Proverbs 17

The Weight

How the gold has lost its luster,
the fine gold become dull!
The sacred gems are scattered
at the head of every street.
How the precious sons of Zion,
once worth their weight in gold,
are now considered as pots of clay,
the work of a potter's hands!
Even jackals offer their breasts
to nurse their young,
but my people have become heartless
like ostriches in the desert.
~ Lamentations 4
