Leapfrogging (Haiku)
Death is nothing more than a shadow-
To those who know Christ!
You will jump over it, like a frog leaping!

Ps. I never have understood man's fear of death, if he is truly one in Christ, filled with the Spirit, in glory with the Father. Perhaps I am still that gullible child, walking down that old dirt road in my backyard, complaining to Christ, I never had a real father, and he said, "I'll be Him for you!"
A Person filled with the Holy Spirit?
A man filled with the Holy Spirit,
What does this mean?
First, he is a man filled with the love of God;
Second, he is inspired by the Holy Spirit;
Third, he has given himself up, to bear
Witness to the Gospel at any cost!...

The Boat with the Sail (Haiku)
I am the boat with the sail-
The Holy Spirit, the wind:
The wind drives me forward!

Truth, its Origin! (II)
Truth, where does it come from?
One might think it comes from eating beef,
Or perhaps vegetables, or sheep!
Or even the consensus, which does not know
The difference from an upside down cake;
It doesn't know even if truth exists!
Jesus told us: truth comes from the Holy Spirit;
And that the Holy Spirit will guide you to truth!
With Pilate, truth was in from of him, yet he
Was blind to it...
Truth is the face of God, brought to light
By the Holy Spirit! (John 16:13/John 14:17)

The Would-be God
((Antiochus IV) (Antiochus Epiphanes))
In 171 B.C., the Messiah of the Greeks came to earth
In the person of the divine Emperor...
This startled the Jews! (Under his heel.)
Hence, he was the new Greek god in flesh;
Zeus now was placed to his side: in essence,
Antiochus IV, became Olympian Zeus!
Satan had done his homework, "God-Made-Manifest!"
And when the Jews bowed they bit their lips:
To hide their contempt-
But it proved one thing, if anything:
Satan duplicates, and will try whatever it takes
To plague the name of YHWH.

God's Hard Love
(Love and Punishment)
God works something like this:
When you accept his punishment
(let's say for being obstinate)
You also accept his divine compassion-
No matter how deep the dungeons are,
He will be with you...
And it was in those far-off days
Of the Hebrew exile, by Nebuchadnezzar
That in those days thereafter,
The Canaanites and Babylonians vanished
From the face of the earth!...
But the Hebrews lived on, as Yahweh
Projected they would.
Death is nothing more than a shadow-
To those who know Christ!
You will jump over it, like a frog leaping!
