Growing In Grace ~

If we’re to grow in grace,
we need to be willing
to receive in our lives
the Holy Spirit’s filling.

For the fruit that He has,
will only start to grow
the more about His power
we understand and know.

If we’re to be productive,
we need more than milk
for it is the meat of the Word
that will go down like silk.

For, it will ease our fears
sooth all of our doubt
for faith without grace
has no where to sprout.

Growing in grace,
we must make a priority
so that our knowledge . . .
in Jesus has clarity!

~~~~~~~~

2 Peter 3:18

But grow in grace,
and in the knowledge
of our Lord and Saviour
Jesus Christ.
To him be glory both now
and for ever. Amen.

Hebrews 5:12

For when for the time ye ought
to be teachers, ye have need that
one teach you again which be the
first principles of the oracles of God;
and are become such as have need
of milk, and not of strong meat.

Mustard Seed Faith ~

Mustard Seed Faith ~ CHRISTian poetry by deborah ann ~

Mustard seed faith,
is all you need . . .
but, for it to grow
it you must feed.

Milk is good,
if you’re a babe
but, soon your faith
will start to fade.

For it to rise,
it needs the meat
every day with Jesus
you need to meet.

If it’s to branch out,
it needs nourishment
for growing faith
takes encouragement.

Mustard seed faith,
is all you need . . .
but, the Good Book
you’ll have to read!

~~~~~~~~

Mark 4:31-32

“It is like a grain of mustard seed, which,
when it is sown in the earth, is less than
all the seeds that be in the earth:

But when it is sown, it groweth up,
and becometh greater than all herbs,
 and shooteth out great branches; so
that the fowls of the air may lodge
under the shadow of it.”

Where’s the Meat ?

a-good-church CHRISTian poetry by deborah ann

I’m sitting here at church,
listening to the same old thing
how God wants to bless me
with lots of material bling.

Don’t want to hear my pastor,
tell another funny joke
I would rather have my soul
be stirred up and holy stoked.

Need more than just milk,
flowing through my veins
need to hear how in this world
from sin, I need to abstain.

I am ready for some fire,
with some brimstone thrown in
and if I’m to fight off Satan
I’ll need a battle plan to win.

I don’t know about you,
but I’m hungry for the meat
otherwise I’m not sure . . .
why I’m sitting in this seat!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

1 Corinthians 3:2
King James Version

“I have fed you with milk, and not with meat:
for hitherto ye were not able to bear it,
neither yet now are ye able”

What is The Bible ~

What is the Bible ~ CHRISTian poetry by deborah ann

The Bible is the breath of God,
profitable for teaching
it’s a reproof and a correction
to use for righteous training.

It’s the Living Word of God,
it makes us competent and able
it equips us for good works
keeping our lives in Him stable.

It is a lamp to our feet,
a light unto our path
when we choose to follow it
it will keep us from God’s wrath.

It’s to be used for mediation,
all our living nights and days
it is the Bread of Life
that shows us our evil ways.

It instructs us on endurance,
encourages us in the faithful race
it persuades us to continue
to seek and find God’s face.

It is living and it active,
it’s as sharp as a two edge sword
it pierces through the heart
so our souls can be restored.

It’s a wonder to the open eye,
out of the law comes salvation
it’s the pure spiritual milk
spilling forth God’s revelation.

It’s to be stored in our hearts,
it will keep us from sin
it’s to be used in our daily battles
so over the enemy we will win.

It will guard our hearts and minds,
it will keep us in perfect peace
and we should always keep  . . .
our Bible’s within close reach.

But, for some it sits on their shelf,
other’s shove it in a drawer
and most just don’t make the time
to read the Bible anymore!

Psalm 119:11
King James Version

“Thy word have I hid in mine heart,
that I might not sin against thee.”
