I grew up around Religion and lived without a true knowledge of God, Jesus Christ, or The Bible for the first 29 years of my life, although I believed I was a Christian. It wasn't until my wife (who was saved, but, never grew in the Word) started to witness to me, about 3 years after we were married, that I picked up a Bible for the first time in my life and was miraculously saved after reading the Gospel of John. I have been a Christian since 1986 and use April 1st as my Spiritual Birthday, to remind myself that The Lord Graciously reached down and saved a fool like me.
I don't consider myself a poet, as my poems come right of of my prayers to God, usually on my way to work, after I had a small conflict at home or my heart is just welled up with concern. I hope that all of the Praise goes to God and that He can simply use my small talent (which came from Him) in a bigger way to either be a Blessing to all of my fellow breather, or draw unbelievers into His Wonderful Light.
My first poem was on Visitation, which is very dear to my heart, and after posting it on poetry.com, I continued to use the 20 line format to post on their site. With this one poem published, I was moved to continue to post the poems that I truly thank God for, as I am not a poet by trade, and give all the Glory to Him. My thoughts at this point go to a beautiful song, by Nancy Steinman, where one of the verses she says "Even my Praise comes from You", as she is singing to The Lord.
I just thank The Lord for guiding me and pray that my poems can move people closer to The Soon Coming Kingdom.

Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight.(Proverbs 3:5-6)

TheMadness on July 9, 2006Thanxs for chatting...feel free to erase this stuff off your page.

TheMadness on July 8, 2006Nevermind...we figured it out....Spirit is hearing and applying God's words yourself, while the faith can be taught without hearing or reading God's words. Both are required for the Kingdom,,,which in itself IS personal relationship with God. For until john was the time of the prophets, but after john the kingdom of God was preached. The people used to go to prophets to talk with God. Now, we all pray. *Teach us to pray as john did with his disciples*

TheMadness on July 8, 2006For salvation comes by faith, but if you have that faith, but don't take in all the words of jesus and draw close to God, then you miss the kingdom...

TheMadness on July 8, 2006Is Salvation the same as being apart of the Kingdom?
