The Law Is...
The law is not only laid down for a righteous person,
But also for the lawless and disobedient!
For the unrighteous and the sinners,
For the unholy and profane,
For liars and for perjurers,
And all who oppose a sound doctrine!

For Murderers
The law is not only laid down for a righteous person but,
Also for the unholy and profane;
To the land of dragons,
To the land of elephants,
To the land of crocodiles,
To the land of parrots,
And to the land of farmers;
The law is not only laid down for a righteous person but,
Also for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers.

False Testimony
You shall not bear false testimony against your neighbour,
What causes hatred and wars?
The laws of Yahweh are Perfert,
Converting the whole person.
She belongs to your brother so,
Do not sleep with her;
The law is not only laid down for a righteous person,
But also for the unrighteous and for sinners.

The Law
Test the spirits to see whether they are of Yahweh,
And love out of a pure heart.
Do not be cowards in doing what is right,
For cowards die many times before their death.
Deceivableness of sin,
The law is not only laid down for a righteous person but,
Also for the lawless and disobedient

Monte Carlo
Monte Carlo,
I need to hold your breasts and get the feelings of love;
Monte Carlo,
I need to brush your breasts along my hairy chest of mine;
Monte Carlo,
I want to feel your love all day long;
Because the law is not only laid down for a righteous person,
But also for lairs and for perjurers.

Bible in Poetry: Titus 1
God’s servant and Apostle, Paul
Of Jesus Christ for God’s elect,
Whose faith and knowledge of the truth,
Has led to hope and godliness,
Of life eternal, not God’s lie,
God-promised from time’s beginning,
And in His season brought the word,
To light by preaching giv’n to me,
By God’s command, our savior:
To Titus in our common faith,
My true son, grace and peace descend
From God, the Father and Jesus.
Titus’ Task on Crete:
I left you just in Crete because
You would then straighten what was left
Unfinished, and appoint elders
In every town as I told you.
An elder must be so blameless;
Husband to just one wife only,
With children who believe the Lord,
Aren’t wild and disobedient.
As overseer of God’s work, then,
He must not be over-bearing
Nor quick-tempered nor use spirits
Or violence for unfair gain;
He must be hospitable then.
A person who loves what is good,
Self-controlled, upright and holy,
Disciplined and must be quite firm
To genuine message as he’s taught,
And encourage others truly
By sound doctrine and refute those
Who oppose it, through God’s wisdom.
There are rebellious people,
Mere talkers and great deceivers,
Among the circumcision group;
They ought to be silenced or they
Would ruin whole house-holds on earth,
By teaching things, they ought not to,
And for sake of dishonest gain;
One of their prophets has said thus:
‘Cretans are always evil brutes,
Gluttons, liars and lazy-bones;
This testimony is so true;
Therefore, rebuke them sharply too;
So that, they are sound in their faith,
And pay no attention to myths
Or to commands rejecting truth.
All things are pure to pure of heart;
Nothing is pure to corrupt ones,
And those who do not believe truths.
Their minds and conscience are sick
Although, they claim to know the Lord.
Their actions deny seeing Him;
They are unfit, detestable,
Disobedient, not doing good!

Self Righteous
Everyone is so self-righteous
Lift your head again and try this
If you want this, I do
And I want this, but I can't break through
And I can see you begin to glow
Everyone is so self-righteous
Get up everyone
Were on our own now
Lift your head again try this
And feel you, I do
And I want this but I can't break through
And your burning lights red and blue
Everyone is so self-righteous
Where have you sinners gone
All you sinners
What's ours is ours
And were all alone
What's ours is ours
And outside rain
It's just a shower
And then I feel you breathe
And I let go of the hours
And I feel your skin
And I let you in
And that's my dream
Again and again
I feel the hours
Sliding by
Get up on your own now
Way up all alone now
Lift your head again and try this
Do you want this, in you
You're the only thing that's real
And we don't need to beg or steal
Everyone is so self-righteous

Balaam's Wish
How blest the righteous are
When they resign their breath!
No wonder Balaam wished to share
In such a happy death.
Oh! let me die, said he,
The death the righteous do;
When life is ended let me be
Found with the faithful few.
The force of truth how great!
When enemies confess,
None but the righteous whom they hate,
A solid hope possess.
But Balaam's wish was vain,
His heart was insincere;
He thirsted for unrighteous gain,
And sought a portion here.
He seemed the Lord to know,
And to offend him loth;
But Mammon proved his overthrow,
For none can serve them both.
May you, my friends, and I,
Warning from hence receive;
If like the righteous we would die,
To choose the life they live.

No punishment of the unrighteous has ever been too severe in the eyes of the righteous.
The unrighteous penny consumes the righteous dollar.
The unrighteous penny corrupts the righteous pound.
Turn It Off
I'm conscious of liars that cross my path
The sinners ambitious to rule this land
The gardens are dead and the walls have bled
People betrayed in a secret rage
Turn it off, somebody's asking me
Turn it off, somebody hears
Turn it off, somebody's asking me
Turn it off, somebody show a better way
The system's in distress
We feel the consequence, yeah
Sinners and liars have crossed my path
There's simple disgrace from the souls of man
My sister's in rags and her babes in pain
Turn it off, somebody's asking me
Turn it off, somebody hears
Turn it off, somebody's asking me
Turn it off, somebody show a better way
Don't hear the words I'm preaching
If you deny the times of tribulation
Don't read the words I've given
If you believe there's sides to revelations
Life that once was taken brings a million lives to isolation
Brings a million lives to isolation
Turn it off, somebody's asking me
Turn it off, somebody hears
Turn it off, somebody's asking me
Turn it off, somebody show a better way
I'm conscious of liars that cross my path
The sinners ambitious to rule this land
The gardens are dead and the walls have bled

The Amazing Grace Of God.
We get what we deserve!
Do we? Do we really?
Do we really get what we deserve?
Kelly said ‘If we all
get what we deserve,
then we will all
be on our way to hell.’
Kelly said ‘But Christ
gave his life for us, that
is the Grace we can never
repay.’ The Grace of God.
“For while we were still
helpless, at the right time,
the Messiah died on behalf
of ungodly people.”
It is rare for anyone to die
for the sake of a righteous
person, for a truly righteous
person, very few will obtain
the courage to die. “But God
recommends his own love to
us in that, while we were yet
sinners, Christ died for us.”
“Blessed are those whose
transgressions are forgiven,
whose sins are covered over; ”
for God chooses to see it no more.
“Blessed is the man
whose sin Adonai
will not reckon against
his account.” Debt is paid.
Christ was our Lamb
our ransom sacrifice
in the blood of the Lamb
is our debt paid in full.
This is the Amazing Grace Of God.
This is our ticket to heaven and eternal salvation.

Anger
Epictetus the stoic philosopher said
that anyone who angers you becomes your master
by disturbing you;
Well, that's me -
full of righteous and unrighteous anger;
on the other hand,
God gets pretty hot in the O.T. -
Are there different rules?
After all, we both know we're right.
And don't ask me what 'religion' I am, OK?
Or I could get really angry...

What Do Liars Then Do?
Liars know who they are.
And what they have done,
To pursue temporary satisfactions.
With a demoralizing of whom they choose.
As if what they've done will stick like glue.
Those who have been scrutinized,
By the telling of false lies...
To have been victimized with tears cried.
Are aware of them too!
Yet to retaliate is something they refuse.
But those who have been undermined,
Do what liars instigating have chosen not to do.
And that is to wait patiently,
To let time intervene...
With a demeaning liars with an applying of truth.
What do liars then do?
Plead to be released from mental guilty beatings.
And even if forgiven,
Liars once exposed for who they are...
Can never find places to keep themselves hidden.

Waiting For A Better World
What ya gonna believe in
If you can't tell right from wrong?
Some TV show is all you know
Don't ya care what's going on?
You're in touch with disaster
But you look the other way
Paralyzed by the nature
How you live every day
So you're waiting - You're waiting for a better world
You're just waiting - You're waiting for a better world
If you leave it how you found it
It will always be the same:
The sinners take the prizes
And the righteous take the blame
Better wake up your senses
Get your body on the road
There ain't no time for peace of mind
When the future might explode
But you're waiting - You're waiting for a
better world
You're just waiting - You're waiting for a
Better world
If you leave it how you found it
It will always be the same:
The sinners take the prizes
And the righteous take the blame
While you're waiting

Judgements Resolved Beyond Death
decisions
which determine
an eternity

or an eternity
of Satanic
exile damnation
will be resolved
beyond death
when judgement

and unrighteous
each to chosen
their own rewards

The Transaction of Salvation
The transaction of our Salvation, was rendered by God of Creation,
Transacted down upon the earth, to bring to fallen man a New Birth,
Salvation rendered by His Son; one transaction made for everyone,
Paid by Christ, for all man’s sin, that penalty due, was paid by Him.
Justification for sinners was made, when the price for sin was paid,
Now declared Righteous, by God, while sinners on this earthly sod.
Redemption is not just inferred, as sinners, by God are transferred,
Ransomed from sin’s marketplace, into God’s Family by His Grace.
Propitiation is also involved, with God’s Wrath against us resolved,
As His Righteous Wrath was satisfied, when for sin Christ had died.
Regeneration as well has a part, as God cleanses a Believer’s heart,
While Christ’s Blood cleanses sin, from believing hearts deep within.
Renewal then takes place in that soul, as The Spirit makes us whole,
Helping New Believers to grow, as signs of New Life begin to show,
Reconciliation for man was done, in the finished work of God’s Son,
As to God sinners were restored, through the Gift of Christ our Lord.
All of this, for those who believe, when by Faith, Christ they receive,
A transaction made for us in love, by The Father, who reigns above,
Paid in full upon Calvary’s Cross, to redeem for God a peoples lost,
To become part of God’s Family, not just for a time, but, all Eternity.

Profane!
Profane pastors,
Profane preachers,
Profane prophets and priests!
For, they have failed to tell the people the truth;
And, they fill their pockets with money! !
As, they leave my people with no honey.
