Love is the message
the call to our hearts,
the small voices calling
to embody the Christ
Christ is the one who was
sent
re-presenting the King,
our calling to live out
the Gospel, the Good News
Christ is our Master, our
Guide
our Savior, our brother,
the first-born of Creation
and of the Resurrection
We are to follow His example
of unmerited love,
given freely to all
on the altar of the cross
The measure of our witness
is 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.”
