Download or read book God s Agenda Religious Poems written by Richard I. Gold and published by Dorrance Publishing. This book was released on 2016-10-04 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: God’s Agenda - Religious Poems: Vol 1 By Richard I. Gold God’s Agenda - Religious Poems contains a number of poems about God, Jesus Christ, our relationship with God, and our relationship with our fellow men, all in accordance with the Bible. At several points, two or more poems have the same title, but they were kept in because they are different poems. In other cases, several poems may appear to be somewhat similar; however, the focus is slightly different. Sometimes, a poem may require several readings to get the full meaning. At times, the meaning may be more than the author put into them and the reader may find some ideas which will benefit him or her. In all cases, the meaning of the poem should be taken to help build our faith and hope for the future, both in this life and when we have crossed to the other side. Remember, if we have a loved one who has passed on and is in the next life, they are in a better and more fulfilling place. It is well that we mourn for them, but this should be for our lack of seeing them, not for the fate of the loved one.
Download or read book God s Poems written by John Poch and published by St. Augustine's Press. This book was released on 2021-11-19 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Poetry is exciting, but elusive to most. This is troublesome for Christians because the Bible, John Poch reminds us, is largely composed of poetical verse. In God's Poems, Poch re-introduces sacred text as purposefully poetic, and explains what that means and invites the reader to with this insight live more thoughtfully and beautifully. But that is not all. Poch as a well-established and regarded poet, turns his eye to contemporary poetry and vindicates its function in a "created and creative world." Today many have abandoned the genre as a wasteland of misguided voice that really has nothing to say. The poet is a truth-teller, and Poch as devoted writer, teacher, and believer sends out a renewed call to turn to verse as a means of seeing oneself as God's poeima, or poem (Letter to Ephesians). The depth of self-knowing relates directly to an aptitude to engage the category of poetry at some level. A tragic void is filled with Poch's effort to exhort the reader to patiently reconnect with poetry even though it has been hijacked by persons who want to be heard more than speak well. (This book is essential, therefore, for aspiring poets.) For faithful readers or those seeking to return, Poch is a place to begin to understand contemporary writers worth knowing and which poets of the past must remain with us. In Virgilian fashion, he can see the panorama behind him and that which lies immediately ahead and instills a recovered love of an eternal medium that will be restored to a state of coherency and enlightened perspective. If Poch has faith in poetry it is because poetry is indeed a source of faith. If Justin Martyr claimed that everything that is true belongs to Christians, Poch shows us that everyone who speaks truth is to some degree a poet. Even God with his revealed wisdom chooses poetry as medium par excellence. It is essential to know how poetry works. "Great poems that we consider literature give us what we never expected. They go beyond the usefulness of conveying a feeling and unveiling beauty; and they tell us who we are."
Download or read book Poems for the Heart of God written by Darrell Hausmann and published by Covenant Books, Inc.. This book was released on 2019-08-26 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It seems I am best at expressing my love for the Lord through music and poetry, and so out of that longing came the desire to pen "Poems for the Heart of God." I wanted to share something that gave me great joy and encouragement, with others. I wanted to write something that would implant a seed and inspire communication with our Master, especially as we begin our day. Oh, how important is a moment with Him before we step out into the fast-paced world we live in today! "Poems for the Heart of God" is a 366-day (including leap year) devotional with a scripture reading from His word, accompanied by a six-line poem for each day of the year. It is written in a way to receive from Him through scripture and a way to give back to Him in a personal heartfelt way. Each poem was written from my heart to His heart, acknowledging His love and care, as a Good Father, every day of life. Many like to look up their birthdays, their anniversaries, and other special days to see what God may have to say to them on that day. It is a daily seed planter of encouragement for my family and me to help us get off to a good start for the day. I pray it will be the same for you.

The poetry in this book is for uplifting and giving one hope, security and happiness by believing and trusting in our CREATOR, and HIS SON, JESUS. Thus, June decided to name the manuscript POETRY FROM CHRIST.

Download or read book Jubilee Poetry written by Janet Louise Feight and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2021-09-09 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One cold winter evening, after I'd read a short book of poems, I felt unenthused and a bit sad. My pondering led me to the thought that poetry must be truly inspired to be lively and meaningful to a reader. I even felt that it would be almost impossible to put forth verse without some quickening from deep within. Well, the next morning, I awoke with a gush of thoughtful rhymes! I exclaimed to my husband, "This is my dream come true!" With notebook and pen in hand, I made my way to an all-day couch, then poured out my first poem, "Dream," with several more on its trail. Thus was Jubilee Poetry born on January 16, 2017! This vibrant flow worked into fifty poems to highlight the year of Jubilee. Half of my pieces are acrostic style, with the titles spread downward as the left column. Many poems specifically magnify God's love and truth that responded to my weakness, pain, and desperate struggles. A few are longer works, such as "150 Psalms," which presents a line of verse for each lovely Psalm, and "Old" and "New" Testaments, which also feature an uplifting caption for every book of the Holy Bible. Two valuable indexes are provided after the poetry: first is an alphabetical listing of all fifty poems, along with related Scripture references and songs; second is a list of twenty six godly goals, along with supportive Scriptures and poems. These are tools to bring ready information to prepare ministry themes and Church programs, besides being key components of my ‘JUBILEE Daily Devotional Schedule' offered at the end of the book! I pray that this ‘inspired' work would glorify my wonderful Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, and help grow His Kingdom on this vast earth, one precious soul at a time. Please, Jesus, touch and heal every broken heart, with billows of grace and mercy. Shower down Your love to liberate captive souls from sin and sorrow, and to spring up unto everlasting life. May Your deep ever call to our deep, flooding many empty wells with sweet joy and grand JUBILEES!

God and His Son, Jesus are my first love, and I profoundly enjoy writing about them through poetry.The poems are enlightening and spiritually significant in worshipping and serving them.The principle aspects of the poems are to promote Gods Word, and encourage saintly behavior.This is imperative to all Gods people who want a closer relationship with Him. He loves all His people, whether they are a believer or non-believer.Yet, its His desire to have everyone love and glorify Him, repent for their sins, and accept Jesus as their Savior.In addition, He wants them to embody the Holy Ghost, and live their lives steadfast in Faith and works, exercising holiness. Saintly behavior rooted in holiness is the crown all believers and saints of God desire to wear in their heaven oriented relationship with Him, and His son, Jesus. Divine Reflections consist of lucent accounts of Jesus life, saint building prayers, and a diversity of praises. These are enjoyable powerful spiritual elements that govern true believers and saints of God.The family and nature poems are crafted from a natural point of view, true to spiritual roots.The nature poems applaud Gods creations, herald praises and thanksgiving for His all knowing and omnipresent spirit.The family poems conveyed in tender simplicity, are Gods superior natural blessings.They are endowed to all His people, both the believer and nonbeliever.
