Will The Wicked Silence Jesus's
Voice In The Earth?
Must be frustrating for Spirit-filled believers to read all
the news reports about how the ACLU and many
gay-lesbian-transgender-homosexual-bisexual-cross dresser groups are
doing all they can to remove the name Jesus from the hearts of this
nation. Fighting in court to take prayer from Virginia Military
Institute, banning Mother's Day and Father's Day remembrances in
schools for little children, as being irrelevant. Denying prayer or
the mention of the Holy Bible in public schools and government
buildings. Doesn't God get mad sometime? Why do Christians say we
ought not get mad? Can you write an inspired poem that will express
the heart of God's fierce wrath as He watches these ungodly things
unfold?
I'm Confused
I know there is a God. I know He lives in me. I go to church on Sundays. Is
this enough for me? What must I do...you see I'm confused. I need help. If
there is a fork in the road, which way do I take? I have a question. Is God
real to you?
Isn't Moving In First A Wise Move?
Me and Jack are going to be married in March 2002. We have decided that it
would be wise to move in together before then so that we can pre-adjust to
each other and have that out of the way. We have no children because we are
not having sex. I am a virgin and will remain that way until Jack and I are
married. I simply want to test the waters before I jump all the way in. Please
speak to my situation poetically. What do you poets think?
Flirting Is Innocent . . . Isn't It?
I got a good man and he meets all my needs. However, I love to flirt with
other men. I would never commit adultery...NO WAY! I've just always been a
flirt. I don't think it's nothing wrong with it . . . I don't mean any harm by
it. The Bible does not speak against it either. What do you say poets???
My Tongue Is The Pen Of A Sinful Writer
I am a Christian who see nothing wrong with using "lite"
profanity. I only use three cuss words. The d word, the s word, and the a@#
word. Now if I used the f word or the b word, I could see where that would be
wrong. I've even heard a preacher use the a@# word on national TV. So, if it
was wrong, I'm sure God would have convicted him on the spot. God knows my
heart. Besides, you can't judge me if you go to movies and allow yourself to
be entertained by movies full of this profanity that you have such a great
disdain for.
Personally, I don't see anything wrong with a little lite cussing, because
it helps you to place a heavier expression on the ears of one listening to it.
I even cuss when I'm making love to my husband. If you have something to say
to me poetically....then say on baby....say on!
I Am A Partying Christian
I am a Christian, who loves to party. I can't help it and I do
drink just a little but I never get drunk. I enjoy the party life so
much. It's just innocent fun as long as I'm not bothering anybody. I
am single and having the ball of my life. Please reply to my
statement poetically.
I'm So Tired of Failing
I am such a failure to the point I can not even enjoy good times
for fear something bad is about to happen. Will I ever come to the
point where I can enjoy life without worrying that something bad is
going to happen? Do you have a poem that will comfort me?
What's Wrong With Soap Opera?
My pastor has made negative statements about watching soap
operas. I am a Christian, but I see nothing wrong with watching soap
operas. Can you counsel me poetically on this subject?
My Wife Is Cheating On Me
My wife and I have been married for 5 years. Yes, we've had
problems, but I have never beat or cheated on her. We have a
4-year-old son. For the past 18 months she has been having an
affair. She doesn't know yet that I know about it. I can't make love
to her and neither does she care. I just function for the sake of my
son. But I must tell you, I am hurt and I really want out. I am just
afraid I will not be able to get possession of my son. Please
advise.
I Love You But I Don't Know You
Right Now!
I love myself but I don't know who I am right now. I don't want
to be with people I love. I feel down a lot and I don't know what to
do. Anna (my best friend) wants to blame everything on my new
boyfriend. I know he doesn't mean to hit me, I just do dumb things
and it makes him mad. I used to know who I was but when I'm with
Mike I don't want to know anything but a good time. So I've been
trying harder not to make him mad. It will be okay if people would
stay out of my business.
Trying
To Keep The Spice In My Christian Marriage
Well I've been married two years and things seem to
be going well. Over the last 3 months it seems like my husband wants
more from me in the bedroom than normal. I'm afraid that some of
these things are not right, but I want to please my husband. What do
I do when he really wants to do some crazy stuff. I love my husband,
but I love the Lord too.
I Attend A Lesbian & Gay Church
I attend a lesbian and gay church. Our pastor is gay
and preaches to us every Sunday. What makes you think that you are
alright and we are all wrong? We serve the same God you do. God
loves all of us and has no favorites...last time I checked.
I Abuse My Child
The first time I hit him, he was only 3. In a fit of
anger, I slapped his face hard. Now for the past three years, it has
grown a little worse. Can anyone help me before I lose my child?
I'm Sorry Yall....But I Sho Love Myself Some Sex!
I know God says that we should be married and all
that stuff, but I'm sorry...I love sex and I love having it with
different men. I get bored if I stay with one too long. Variety is
the spice of life. I don't wanna go to hell, but I can't stop having
sex....it just feels so good and it relieves a lot of my stress too.
Besides, that's what God gave me these feelings (gets in heat quite
often) for and I only do it with guys I have feelings for. What cha
got ta say bout that?
I Just Found Out I Was Adopted
I found out last week that I was adopted. I am
confused and hurt. How could they keep this from me all of this
time. I am 19 and my adoptive parents are good parents, but I feel
they have deceived me all of my life.
My Husband Beats Me. Should I.....
My husband beats me sometimes but not real bad. He
slaps me when I do not do what he says or responds to what he says.
My pastor says that divorce is wrong and that the word of God says
we should only divorce if adultery is committed. I am so tired of
living like this. I know that we are suppose to forgive 70 X 70 each
day, but this is getting mighty hard for me to continue to forgive
him and be patient. The women at my church says to wait until God
changes him...don't leave him...what do you poetically voice to me?
I Am 12 Years Old....Just Had A Baby
I am 12 years old and just had my baby 2 months ago.
I got pregnant by an 18 year old boyfriend. I don't want to be tied
down with this baby. I want to go back to my boyfriend and live with
him. Mother ought to take the baby and raise it herself. After all I
am just a child. What can you say to me poetically?
I Have To Have A Man
I know he ain't much and I know I'm being used, but
I just can't help it....his love I can't refuse. I buy the groceries
and he lives in my house. I know he is using me, but I feel helpless
as a mouse. Every time we come to a cash register, he puts his hands
in his pockets, but they don't come out. He tells me that he loves
me, but sometimes I really doubt. However, I can not live alone nor
do I ever want to. Is there a poem in you that can help me come
through. I know this person is a jerk. He has every excuse for not
wanting to work. He don't have a pot to piss in, nor a window to
throw it out of. But I declare, it's wonderful to be in love.
