Stories about God and your salvation

A Cashless Society

             A Cashless Society

The value of the dollar is going down.

You can see where we are bound.

Can you see any reasonable way out?

This is what it is all about.

The latest answer is pretty weird.

It is the direction we are being stirred.

The Federal Reserve will issue bit coins.

“Fed coins”, or something, will be coined.

They will rapidly replace paper money.

People, at first, will like it plenty.

Till they see how their privacy is destroyed.

This is something that can’t be ignored.

We have all heard it before in the Bible.

If you don’t comply, you’ll be more than liable.

Can’t buy or sell without  a mark & # of his name.

A bit coin, or ‘Fed Coin’ is a start. Make it plain.

It’s a small step from there to a ‘chip.’

Embedded under your skin to be quick.

It will contain all there is to know about you.

Your privacy is gone, whatever you do.

All purchases or sales done through the ‘chip.’

You can easily be barred from any of it.

Say your religious belief didn’t agree

with whatever was allowed by the powers that be.

You would be barred from buying or selling.

I am sure of this without even yelling.

Best to hide out and avoid the ‘chip.’

If you are caught, you will be in for it.

It is much closer than you think.

We are standing right on the brink.

Get your affairs in order.

We are right on the border.

Make sure your life is right with God.

The end times are here. This isn’t odd.

Don’t be caught unprepared.

Remember, He has always cared.

That is why He warned us of the end.

It’s in the Bible. Why pretend?

There is only one way out.

That’s what the 2ond coming of Jesus is about.

More Than A Friend

 

          More Than A Friend

When you came to me in the light,

I knew I wouldn’t be afraid in the night.

I knew I wanted you to stay.

There is not much more I can say.

 

The world is dark and you are light.

Things that happen make me uptight.

They scare me and it won’t go away.

Maybe things will be different someday.

 

You calm me down and that is well.

You have a way to quiet the quell.

Darkness moves over the land.

You come close and hold my hand.

 

The angel of death makes its flight.

I ask you to hold me tight.

Hell breaks loose and all is moved.

Stand by me,—– I behoove.

 

Finally, light breaks upon the land.

I will smile,—– if I can.

You have brought me through.

I am truly indebted to you.

 

This world is full of sin.

There is no way I can win.

Just cling to you until the end.

You are so much more than a friend.

A Christian Life

               A Christian Life

Wherever you go and whatever you do.

Others are always watching you.

All you do and all you say

makes up all you are today.

Improve your lot and do your best.

Leave an impression that will pass the test.

Never be naughty, always be nice.

Make it a habit so you don’t think twice.

You’ll be respected in your neighborhood.

Because you always act like you should.

When you take your girlfriend out,

There is nothing to worry about.

Her parents know you are responsible.

To not trust you would be unconscionable.

You will make a good impression.

Be it job, romance, or a study session.

More people like you is what we need.

But, don’t go around spreading your seed.

Just spread your honorable ways.

Others will admire you in every way.

Hopefully, they will strive to do the same.

Your shining example won’t be in vain.

The Preacher Of The Punch

Preacher Of The Punch

They came from near and far.

To hear the preacher, a big star.

He preached hot hell and freezing snow.

He alone could steal the show.

By the time he got on stage.

He already had worked up a rage.

He had them crying and screaming.

He had them praying with feeling.

He flushed their pockets of all their change.

“The Lord will provide”, he fed their brains.

He tore them down to worthless sinners.

Then built them up to glorious winners.

He asked for a dedication and they all came up.

He blessed each one while they drank from a cup.

He said it was the blood of the Lord.

For each and every one it struck a chord.

They were all saved by the blood of the lamb.

He had them eating right out of his hand.

They would follow him anywhere.

They would do whatever he dared.

He took them to the jungle in Guyana.

To avoid the persecution that was falling like manna.

He got them all to drink “Guyana Punch.”

It wasn’t something just served for lunch.

It was poison that would release them home.

Now that it’s done, you have been shown.

A preacher may be full of fire and brimstone.

But, if he says he will bring you home.

Then it’s time to find a new congregation.

Somewhere else to drink your libations.

Otherwise you will be disappointed.

When it is time for you to be anointed.

There is a God who will save all who come.

Read the Bible, you’ll know who is the One.

That way in that glorious day

Your sins will have been forgiven and cast away.

A Storm Is Raging

 

        A Storm Is Raging

A raging storm is going on.

Attitudes coming on strong.

The government owes us a living.

Support me now. I ain’t  fibbing.

 

Don’t worry about money. The rich will pay.

Hasn’t that been the American way?

I will riot, destroy, pillage, and burn.

Maybe then, you will finally learn.

 

I don’t work, so I don’t pay taxes.

Don’t tell me I know what lax is.

Maybe I was not born here.

Maybe I was. Get this clear.

 

You owe me. I don’t owe you.

What is this world coming to?

Why should I go to Mexico?

It is nothing but a hole.

 

The ‘haves’ should give.

So that the ‘have nots’ can live.

How dare you call me just a leach.

You need to watch what you preach.

 

Then judgment came down from heaven.

They were left without any leaven.

They did not raise to a better life.

They went down with all the strife.

 

To burn till all was gone.

Purifying all that was wrong.

They were motivated by the wrong God.

Now they have paid. That is not odd.

 

For what goes around comes around.

For many, this lesson will abound.

They will miss out on what’s really good.

Just to terrify their neighborhood.

Come Back Home

             Come Back Home

There was a time when you would come around.

You’re face would shine with love unbound

The dove of peace would fly your way.

You fed him virtues every day.

Hallelujah.

 

Then something happened in your life.

Something that brought in major strife.

Like they tied you in a kitchen chair.

Then force fed you till you didn’t care.

Hallelujah.

 

You were fed on the ways of the world.

Your lips grew bright, your hair curled.

All that mattered no longer did.

The sins of the world kept you hid.

Hallelujah.

 

I have faced the wicked ways.

They once tried to draw me away.

I fought back with all the armor.

I didn’t want to be a charmer.

Hallelujah.

 

Hallelujah, hallelujah. Hallelujah, hallelujah.

 

Haven’t you wanted something more?

Once before you were at the door.

Knock once and you can come in.

Walk away from the world of sin.

Hallelujah.

 

More than one has been led astray.

Most are sorry for that day.

Few say they’re sorry, then turn away.

I hope you haven’t missed that day.

Hallelujah.

 

The dove is wounded and cannot fly.

He needs your love to get him by.

You can do it, if you try.

Don’t end up rejected and cry.

Hallelujah.

 

He is there. Always waiting for you.

His love will see you through.

Trust in Him rather than worldly things.

Once you’re back your heart will sing.

Hallelujah.

 

Hallelujah, hallelujah. Hallelujah, Hallelujah.

Glory, Or Gloom And Doom?

   Glory, Or Gloom And Doom?

Soon, there will come a day.

When all of this will go away.

It will not be by my choice.

No one listens to my voice.

 

I hate predicting gloom and doom.

But,—- the end is coming soon.

Are you ready for the brave new world?

Is your makeup on & your hair all curled?

 

You will soon be carried away.

To a place you can’t imagine today.

A place to wonderful to be dreamed.

Yet, it will be all that it seems.

 

That is, if you go the right direction.

Otherwise, don’t look at your reflection.

It will be a hideous place.

Best you always hide your face.

 

It will be warm there. Hot, in fact.

Hot enough to burn your back.

Burn even more in the end.

Destroying all that is within.

 

Best to walk on the narrow road.

It will lead to glories untold.

The guidebook will tell you how.

It’s called The Bible. Read it now.

 

Follow all that it directs you to.

He is the one who will come for you.

Let Him guide you in every way.

Start doing it right now, today.

 

Then, no longer worry about your future.

It will all be good, to be sure.

You will be a son or daughter of the Lord.

A member of the royal family. Welcome aboard.

The Glory Days

The Glory Days

I was thinking about the good old days.
The glory days, when I grew up & played.
Well, the rocks may melt & the fields burn.
Way before those good old days return.

I may move on to a better place.
Have glory shining from my face.
Have the best of everything.
No need to long for anything.

Yet, I pray, when that day comes.
When everything will lead to fun.
I hope it will be sweeter in every way.
Than it was in those glory days.

————————-R. W. Johnson—–(2016)

God And Family

God And Family

Sitting and thinking what the day will bring.
Short range goals are a precious thing.
Long range brings too much gloom and doom.
I pray that the second coming will be soon.

Meantime, family activities are great!!
Being close to loved ones is a good fate.
Make the most of each day that’s left.
Make sure all your priorities are met.

The time is coming when it can’t be done.
You will be praying for every loved one.
A time of trouble like has never been seen.
We can only guess what this will mean.

When you take a look at the entire lot.
God and family come out on top.
There is little else too cling to.
I wish the best for me and you.

Until then, love one another, as He loves us.
Being there for each other is a must.
If you don’t have family, you are hurting bad.
It is the best thing I have ever had.

Have faith, my friend, until the very end.
Come together  as one to defend.
Hold to your belief, that it is God’s will.
The Bible will guide you, with His voice, so still.

You will be safe snuggled in His arms.
Don’t listen to the Devil’s charms.
Be faithful to the very end of life.
God will eventually make it all right.

A Way Out

A Way Out.

The daily stressors of life.
I can’t take it. Too much strife.
Too many wars. Too much killing.
I could fight back, but I’m not willing.
It has all gone to my head.
I never want to leave my bed.
Pollution, plagues, and starvation.
I need more than a vacation.
Earthquakes, volcanoes, and drought.
Things are wrapping up, without a doubt.
Bills, bills, and more bills.
Pay and pay, without any thrills.
Get shot driving across town.
Even be afraid of a clown.
The world is closing in.
It is getting dark from within.
Soon, there will be no way out.
No need to jump and shout.
Many say the answer is prayer.
Yet, it is still more than I can bare.
LOVE is the answer. A special kind.
Agape love,—– I have in mind.
This cannot be given by man.
You can search for it all you can.
It seems to originate with God.
They say He rules with an iron rod.
Yet, things are all screwed up.
We have really gotten into a rut.
But, God hasn’t given up on us.
We can’t do it without His trust.
He is the Way, the Truth, and the Light.
He will lead us through this fight.
The great controversy between good and evil.
God is the good against Satan’s evil deal.
We are pawns, stuck in the middle.
I hope you are dancing to the right fiddle.
I must fight off this mental depression.
There is hope, without exception.
There is a way out of it all.
Have faith in God, that you will not fall.
He will gladly take you through.
The time of trouble is approaching you.
Without Him, you’re down and out.
Satan won’t save you, without a doubt.
Don’t hide in bed or cover it with drugs.
Don’t end it all by ‘eating’ a slug.
Stand up and say: “I’m yours, because.”
“I can’t do it on my own. I need agape love.”
