Verily, Verily

On February 10, 2022

His power is almighty,
His riches beyond belief,
His wisdom is verily absolute,
His strength brings eternal relief,
His honor is pure and perfect,
His glory is heaven’s true light,
His blessing is from the Father’s hand,
His presence puts evil to flight.

MT 2022

Rev 5:11 Then I looked, and I heard the voice of many angels around the throne, the living creatures, and the elders; and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands,
Rev 5:12 saying with a loud voice: “Worthy is the Lamb who was slain To receive power and riches and wisdom, And strength and honor and glory and blessing!”

Worthy, worthy, worthy
Is the resurrected Lamb

MT 2022

Rev 5:13 And every creature which is in heaven and on the earth and under the earth and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, I heard saying: “Blessing and honor and glory and power Be to Him who sits on the throne, And to the Lamb, forever and ever!”

Humble Fool

By Mark

On February 15, 2020

In The Word, Wisdom

I take it as a badge of honor,
To suffer reproach for His name,
For I believe every word He says,
Every promise, command and claim.

While His words may not be in fashion,
And many might think them uncool,
It rather be true to the word of Christ,
And be thought a humble fool.

MT 2020

1Co 1:18 NKJV
For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.

A Theist

By Mark

On February 1, 2020

In Salvation, Truth, Wisdom

I am a theist
And make no apologies
I believe in Jesus Christ
Not man-made ideologies
Nor in man’s speculation
Nor his pop psychologies
For only Christ can cleanse the heart
Of sin and social pathologies.

MT 2020

Colossians 2:8 NKJV

Beware lest anyone cheat you through philosophy and empty deceit, according to the tradition of men, according to the basic principles of the world, and not according to Christ.

I Listened

By Mark

On August 16, 2017

In love, Stuff of Life, Wisdom

I sat beside a friend of mine,
And listened to his tale of lament,
I didn’t say many profound words,
And later asked the Lord why I was sent,
He replied in return, “You did what I asked,”
“You listened and you were a friend,”
“You were an extension of me and I am pleased,”
“By the listening ear that you lend.”

Mark Tinjum 2017

Jas 1:19 NKJV
So then, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath;
