Love the message
the Word is love
the call to our hearts
the small voices calling
to embody the Christ
our brother, our Savior
our hope, our life
The One who was sent
our call to follow
re-presenting the King
our calling to live out
the Gospel, the Good News,
of our brother, the Christ
Our Master, our Guide
our Savior, our brother
the first-born of Creation
and of the Resurrection
as was foretold
Following His example
of unmerited love
a servant, submission
given freely for all
on the altar of the cross
The measure of our witness
representing the Christ
sharing with all the gospel
of our brother, our God

“Making
the secular Holy – v2”
new
poem September 7, 2013
“Making
the secular Holy”
----
This
poem is about my wife and me when we got married
in
a civil service on December 17, 2004 in Concord, NH in White Park
and
then before our church family at
Wesley
United Methodist Church in Concord, NH
on
April 23, 2005.
----
We
celebrate 2 anniversaries because they both mean a great
deal
to us, in very different ways.
I
grieve for those who are able to marry civilly in so many
states
now, such as NH, but are unable to marry in their
United
Methodists churches and for the clergy who are put on trial
for
choosing to go against the Discipline to marry them.

“my 'heart' sinks with your continued association with the United
Methodist church. God's Word clearly says that the Lord’s command is no females
are allowed to be leaders. 1 Cor. 14:33-38; 1 Tim 2:12-3:12. Violating God's
Word is not a recommended path to follow.”
