Exercise thyself unto godliness
Knowing it is profitable unto all men
Trusting in the living God
For this life and the one after it
Being an example of the believers
In word, conversation, and love
In spirit, faith and purity
Always looking up above
Giving attendance unto reading,
To exhortation and to doctrine, taking heed
Occupying until He comes
Knowing he will provide to those that need
Meditation on these things
Giving yourself wholly, not in part
Desiring all His promises
Serving Him with all your heart
I Tim 4
But refuse profane and old wives' fables, and exercise thyself rather unto godliness.
For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come.
This is a faithful saying and worthy of all acceptation.
For therefore we both labour and suffer reproach, because we trust in the living God, who is the Saviour of all men, specially of those that believe.
These things command and teach.
Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity.
Till I come, give attendance to reading, to exhortation, to doctrine.
Neglect not the gift that is in thee, which was given thee by prophecy, with the laying on of the hands of the presbytery.
Meditate upon these things; give thyself wholly to them; that thy profiting may appear to all.
Take heed unto thyself, and unto the doctrine; continue in them: for in doing this thou shalt both save thyself, and them that hear thee.

Is it not for you to know judgment?(Micah 3:1-2)
Can you see you are in the mire?
The prophets divine for money
And the priests teach for hire (Micah 3:11)
The evil you love,
And the good you hate to do
Then when you cry out to The Lord (Micah 3:4)
You get no help, it's true
Zion will be plowed as a field
And Jerusalem as heaps (Micah 3:12)
But the Lord will leave a remnant
And His ways they will keep
They will be His people
With their whole heart, they'll return (Jer 24:7)
His commandments they will keep
For His Spirit, they will yearn (Psalms 42:1)

Teaching their children along the way
As frontlets between their eyes (Deut 6:5-8)

And thou shalt bind them for a sign upon thine hand, and they shall be as frontlets between thine eyes.

Woe to them that are at ease in Zion (Amos 6:1)
We are yet at war!
Our weapons, they are mighty
Though they are not carnal ones (II Cor 10:4)
You must take up those weapons
And fight every day
Casting down imaginations (2 Cor 10:5)
And thoughts that are out of the way
Every high thing
That tries to exalt above
Our blessed Lord and Saviour
Must be assaulted with love
Filling your mind with the truth
So you needn't be ashamed (2 Tim 2:15)
Neither barren or unfruitful (2 Peter 1:8)
In the knowledge of The Way
Rightly dividing the truth (II Tim 2:15)
In the doctrine, taking heed
Saving both yourself
And those that hear thee (I Tim 4:16)
Amos 6:1
Woe to them that are at ease in Zion, and trust in the mountain of Samaria, which are named chief of the nations, to whom the house of Israel came!
II Cor 10:4-6
(For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;)
Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;
And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled.
II Tim 2:15
Study to show thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
2 Peter 1:8
For if these things be in you, and abound, they make you that ye shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
I Tim 4:16
Take heed unto thyself, and unto the doctrine; continue in them: for in doing this thou shalt both save thyself, and them that hear thee.

Little Children
Born again in Christ
As a child just out of the womb
The world is a whole new place
Learning to walk anew (John 3:3, Matt 18:3)
At first you may stumble
In fact, it may take a while
As you shod your feet with peace (Eph 6:15)
And your face now bears a smile
Your tongue now has a law (Prov 31:26)
Kindness is the welcomed rule
A heart that desires righteousness (Prov 11:19)
A conscience that is true 1Tim 1:5)
Having loins girt with truth (Eph 6:14)
The goal is learning to stand (Eph 6:13)
As darts come from all around
Holding The Lord at your right hand (Psalms 16:8)
John 3:3
Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
Matt 18:3
And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.
Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven.
And whoso shall receive one such little child in my name receiveth me.
Eph 6:15
And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;
Prov 31:26
She openeth her mouth with wisdom; and in her tongue is the law of kindness.
Prov 11:19
As righteousness tendeth to life: so he that pursueth evil pursueth it to his own death.
I Tim 1:5
Now the end of the commandment is charity out of a pure heart, and of a good conscience, and of faith unfeigned:
Eph 6:14
Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;
Eph 6:13
Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
Psalms 16:8
I have set the LORD always before me: because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved.

"would God that all the LORD'S people were prophets,
and that the LORD would put his spirit upon them"
The seventy elders gathered
The Lord came down in a cloud
They all began to prophesy
His spirit was spread around
Medad and Eldad began
to prophesy within the camp
Joshua wanted to stop them
To Moses a message he sent
He wanted them to stop
But Moses gave him a reply
Oh, that all men would have the Spirit,
That all would prophesy!
Strengthen your brethren
Exhorting one another every day
Holding fast the faithful word
Convincing those that get out of the way
Luke 22:32
But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not: and when thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren.
Hebrews 3:13
But exhort one another daily, while it is called To day; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin
2 Tim 2:4
Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine.
Titus 1:9
Holding fast the faithful word as he hath been taught, that he may be able by sound doctrine both to exhort and to convince the gainsayers.
Psalms 31:23
O love the LORD, all ye his saints: for the LORD preserveth the faithful, and plentifully rewardeth the proud doer.

Sing unto the LORD, O ye saints of his, and give thanks at the remembrance of his holiness.

Turn ye unto me
And I will turn unto you!
I was sore displeased with your fathers
A new chance will I give you
The prophets warned your fathers
To turn from their evil ways
They didn't stop and listen
Your fathers, where are they? (Zechariah 1:2-4)
Draw nigh unto God
And He'll draw nigh unto you
Cleanse your hands from sin
Your heart he will renew (James 4:8)
Let go of this world
And all of its stuff
Be a friend of God
Not a friend of the earth (James 4:4)
Zechariah 1:2-5
The LORD hath been sore displeased with your fathers.
Therefore say thou unto them, Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Turn ye unto me, saith the LORD of hosts, and I will turn unto you, saith the LORD of hosts. Be ye not as your fathers, unto whom the former prophets have cried, saying, Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Turn ye now from your evil ways, and from your evil doings: but they did not hear, nor hearken unto me, saith the LORD. 4:Your fathers, where are they? and the prophets, do they live for ever?
James 4:8
Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded.
James 4:4
Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God.
And I will turn unto you!
I was sore displeased with your fathers
A new chance will I give you
The prophets warned your fathers
To turn from their evil ways
They didn't stop and listen

I want the inheritance,
An heavenly one,
Incorruptible, undefiled
Reserved only for sons
One that won't fade
Made by reservation
Kept by the power of God
through faith unto salvation (I Peter 1: 4-5)
Knowing my redemption didn't
Come from corruptible things
Not by silver nor gold
Nor the stuff money brings
But by the precious sacrifice
The most perfect Lamb
With no blemish nor spot (I Peter 1:18-19)
Sitting now at God's right hand (Mark 16:19)
Knowing that I am like the grass
And will soon wither away
But the Word of The Lord endures forever
And Truth is here to stay! (I Peter 1:24-25)
I Peter 1:4-5
To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you,
Who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.
I Peter 1:18-19
Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers;
But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot:
Mark 16:19
So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, he was received up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of God
I Peter 1:24-25
For all flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of grass. The grass withereth, and the flower thereof falleth away:
But the word of the Lord endureth for ever. And this is the word which by the gospel is preached unto you.

Passing through this land
Earthly kingdoms on every side
The Lord told you not to fear them
In Him, all your hope abides
Not worried about the giants
That rule upon the earth
Or about those whose numbers are many
Against The Lord, they have no worth
Drawing others near to Him
As He Guides your feet in the way of peace
Praying for those who misuse you
Seeking daily for love to increase
Preserved blameless
In spirit, body and soul
Knowing He who called is faithful
And will surely make you whole
Deuteronomy 3:21-22
And I commanded Joshua at that time, saying, Thine eyes have seen all that the LORD your God hath done unto these two kings: so shall the LORD do unto all the kingdoms whither thou passest.
Ye shall not fear them: for the LORD your God he shall fight for you.
Luke 1:74
That he would grant unto us, that we being delivered out of the hand of our enemies might serve him without fear,
To give light to them that sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace.
I Thess 5:23
And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
I Thessalonians 5:24
Faithful is he that calleth you, who also will do it.

A way of life or A way of death
The choice is yours to make
If you stay in the city and fight
The road to death you'll take
But those who chose to take the path
That will lead to the path of life
Must leave the city in another's hands
Surrendering all their rights (Jer 21:8-9)
No man that warreth gets tangled up
with the affairs of this life (1 Tim 2:4)
Jesus said IF this were His kingdom,
His servants would surely fight (John 18:36)
Seek first the kingdom of God
and its righteousness (Matt 6:33)
the kingdom of God is not meat and drink;
And the earthly things that you can "get"
But rather, righteousness, and peace,
and joy in the Holy Ghost.(Romans 14:7)
This is what we are seeking!
These are the things that matter most!
Jeremiah 21:8-9
And unto this people thou shalt say, Thus saith the LORD; Behold, I set before you the way of life, and the way of death.
He that abideth in this city shall die by the sword, and by the famine, and by the pestilence: but he that goeth out, and falleth to the Chaldeans that besiege you, he shall live, and his life shall be unto him for a prey.
1 Tim 2:4
No man that warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of this life; that he may please him who hath chosen him to be a soldier.
John 18:36
Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now is my kingdom not from hence.

But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.

Who Rules Over You?
Walking in His statues
His commandments, keep and do
Peace will abound everywhere
Nothing will you be afraid to do
He will be your God
His people you will be
Enemies will run before you
He will make them flee
But if you chose to ignore Him
And make your life your own
Terror will be appointed
Those that hate you, on the throne
Sorrow of heart will surround you
You will sow your seed in vain
All your time working
Won't produce anything
The choice looks real simple
If you desire what He has to give
Living forever in righteousness
This life, just a small moment is...
Lev 26
3. If ye walk in my statutes, and keep my commandments, and do them;
4 Then I will give you rain in due season, and the land shall yield her increase, and the trees of the field shall yield their fruit.
5 And your threshing shall reach unto the vintage, and the vintage shall reach unto the sowing time: and ye shall eat your bread to the full, and dwell in your land safely.
6 And I will give peace in the land, and ye shall lie down, and none shall make you afraid: and I will rid evil beasts out of the land, neither shall the sword go through your land.
7 And ye shall chase your enemies, and they shall fall before you by the sword.
8 And five of you shall chase an hundred, and an hundred of you shall put ten thousand to flight: and your enemies shall fall before you by the sword.
9 For I will have respect unto you, and make you fruitful, and multiply you, and establish my covenant with you.
10 And ye shall eat old store, and bring forth the old because of the new.
11 And I set my tabernacle among you: and my soul shall not abhor you.
12 And I will walk among you, and will be your God, and ye shall be my people.
13 I am the Lord your God, which brought you forth out of the land of Egypt, that ye should not be their bondmen; and I have broken the bands of your yoke, and made you go upright.
14 But if ye will not hearken unto me, and will not do all these commandments;
15 And if ye shall despise my statutes, or if your soul abhor my judgments, so that ye will not do all my commandments, but that ye break my covenant:
16 I also will do this unto you; I will even appoint over you terror, consumption, and the burning ague, that shall consume the eyes, and cause sorrow of heart: and ye shall sow your seed in vain, for your enemies shall eat it.
17 And I will set my face against you, and ye shall be slain before your enemies: they that hate you shall reign over you; and ye shall flee when none pursueth you.
His commandments, keep and do
Peace will abound everywhere
Nothing will you be afraid to do
He will be your God
His people you will be
Enemies will run before you
He will make them flee
But if you chose to ignore Him
And make your life your own
Terror will be appointed
Those that hate you, on the throne
Sorrow of heart will surround you
You will sow your seed in vain
All your time working
Won't produce anything
The choice looks real simple
If you desire what He has to give
Living forever in righteousness
This life, just a small moment is...

Job 5:17
Behold, happy is the man whom God correcteth: therefore despise not thou the chastening of the Almighty:
Five golden emerods, (1 Sam 6)
and five mice of gold
Put inside a coffer
A little box to hold
Two kine that never bore a yolk
And a new cart made for them
The ark was placed upon it
Then the travels will begin
If it goes up by the coast
To the town of Bethshemesh
We'll know this trouble is from The Lord
If not, chance was what it is
Of course, those Phillistines
Found out on that day
The Lord is in control
He sent the cart the coastal way
Afflictions don't come out of the dust
Nor trouble out of the ground ( Job 5:6)
The heart is desperately wicked (Jer 17:9)
In it your focus should be found
Communing with your heart
While laying in your bed (Psalms 4:4)
Knowing God led the trouble cart
Believe the things he said!
To those he loves, he chastens
Because we are His sons (Heb 12:7)
Leading to the peaceful fruit of righteousness (Hebrews 12:11)
That by man cannot be undone!
Job 5:6
Although affliction cometh not forth of the dust, neither doth trouble spring out of the ground;
Jer 17:9
The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?
Psalms 4:4
Stand in awe, and sin not: commune with your own heart upon your bed, and be still. Selah.
Hebrews 12:7
If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not?
Hebrews 12:11
Now no chastening for the present seemeth to be joyous, but grievous: nevertheless afterward it yieldeth the peaceable fruit of righteousness unto them which are exercised thereby.
Job 5:6
affliction cometh not forth of the dust, neither doth trouble spring out of the ground;
Behold, happy is the man whom God correcteth: therefore despise not thou the chastening of the Almighty:

He lifted up his eyes
And beheld the beautiful land
It was well watered with a river
A perfect choice for this man (Gen 13:10)
He chose that land that appeared
So lovely to his eyes
While Abraham took the left overs
In God's will he (Abr) abides
Trusting fully in The Lord
For whatever lot he gives
Is what God's people must do
It is the only way to live
Although men may make choice
And cast their lots to see (Proverbs 16:33
The whole disposing is of The Lord
He is the "Powers that Be" (Romans 13:1)
"Lift up thine eyes unto the hills
From whence cometh thy help" (Psalms 121)
The creator of the universe
And this little planet where we dwell.
Gen 13:10
And Lot lifted up his eyes, and beheld all the plain of Jordan, that it was well watered every where, before the LORD destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah, even as the garden of the LORD, like the land of Egypt, as thou comest unto Zoar.
Proverbs 16:33
The lot is cast into the lap; but the whole disposing thereof is of the LORD.
Romans 13:1
Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God.
Psalms 121
A Song of degrees. I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help.
My help cometh from the LORD, which made heaven and earth.
He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: he that keepeth thee will not slumber.
Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep.
The LORD is thy keeper: the LORD is thy shade upon thy right hand.
The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night.
The LORD shall preserve thee from all evil: he shall preserve thy soul.
The LORD shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth, and even for evermore.
And beheld the beautiful land

The LORD is thy keeper: the LORD is thy shade upon thy right hand.
The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night.
The LORD shall preserve thee from all evil: he shall preserve thy soul.
The LORD shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth, and even for evermore.

For our rejoicing is this, the testimony of our conscience, that in simplicity
and godly sincerity, not with fleshly wisdom, but by the grace of God, we have
had our conversation in the world, and more abundantly to you-ward. 2 Cor
1:12
Are you trusting in the world? (Romans 8:5)
For your every need? (Ephesians 2:2-3)
Do you try to further your stay here
Through all your vain deeds? (I Peter 1:18)
Do you draw near to God with your lips. (Matthew 15:8)
While your heart is far away?
How do you spend your time?
Do you always "watch and pray?"(Mark 13:33)
Like a thief in the night,
Our Lord will return! (II Peter 3:10)
The earth is reserved unto fire
All its works will burn! (II Peter 3:7)
Believe ye His promises! (2 Peter 1:4) (Hebrews 10:36)
His promises are yea, and Amen, (2 Cor 1:20)
Looking for new heavens and a new earth,
Dwelling only righteousness within

Who raises the dead! (2 Cor 1:9)

Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers;

Consider Your Ways!
(Haggai 1:5-6)
Consider your ways, people of God
Think about this thing
You spend your day sowing a lot
But little in you bring
You eat but don't have enough
Your clothed but never warm
There something missing from your life
This lesson must you learn!
Go up and build a house (Haggai 1:8-9)
Where glorified He will be
Be strong and set to work
On Him your every thought should be
You must seek first the kingdom (Matt 6:31-33)
The rest will be added to you
You've been seeking to do these things
Without His strength, it's true.
Cry out for His mercy, (Exodus 15:13)
Repent from your evil ways (II Kings 17:13)
Let the Spirit if The Lord consume
Every second of your day
Haggai 1:5-6
Now therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts; Consider your ways.
Ye have sown much, and bring in little; ye eat, but ye have not enough; ye drink, but ye are not filled with drink; ye clothe you, but there is none warm; and he that earneth wages earneth wages to put it into a bag with holes.
Haggai 1:8-9
Go up to the mountain, and bring wood, and build the house; and I will take pleasure in it, and I will be glorified, saith the LORD.
Ye looked for much, and, lo, it came to little; and when ye brought it home, I did blow upon it. Why? saith the LORD of hosts. Because of mine house that is waste, and ye run every man unto his own house.
Matt 6:31-33
Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?
But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
Exodus 15:13
Thou in thy mercy hast led forth the people which thou hast redeemed: thou hast guided them in thy strength unto thy holy habitation.
II Kings 17:13
Yet the LORD testified against Israel, and against Judah, by all the prophets, and by all the seers, saying, Turn ye from your evil ways, and keep my commandments and my statutes, according to all the law which I commanded your fathers, and which I sent to you by my servants the prophets.

Things were once so simple
A woman's role was in the home
Nursing up her children in the Word
Until they could stand alone
But the devil pulled out the apple
Woman was tricked once again
Go out, make some money
Your just as good as your man
Or maybe when the right to vote
Came through women's rights
Now she's organizing political parties
And busy days AND nights
Today's church needs the woman too
Or the devil should I say,
She can organize church events
While her children run off and play
No! Not me!
My choice is to embrace and hold
The role God picked just for me
The raising of eternal souls
A woman's role was in the home
Nursing up her children in the Word
Until they could stand alone
But the devil pulled out the apple
Woman was tricked once again
Go out, make some money
Your just as good as your man
Or maybe when the right to vote
Came through women's rights
Now she's organizing political parties
And busy days AND nights
Today's church needs the woman too
Or the devil should I say,
She can organize church events
While her children run off and play
No! Not me!
My choice is to embrace and hold
The role God picked just for me
The raising of eternal souls
