"Choose ye this day whom you will serve..." There are so many people and things to be connected to in this world, but we need to choose who will be our master. In the New Testament, Jesus says that we cannot serve God and mammon. Mammon is the things of the flesh, that only bring glory to the things of the flesh. God is the one of great holiness, and He cannot have part in the things of mammon, because then He would not be God. That same principle applies to Jesus. Had He given into temptation the many times that it was placed before Him; then we would be lost and in our sins forever. Hell would be more populated, if either God or Jesus took part in sin. Jesus passed through the temptation, and when it was time was able to sacrifice Himself for us, and keep us from an eternal Hell.
The Master of my destiny,
Is not me.
He took on Him all my sin,
And now I am clean within.
He gave me His Word,
And I was saved when I heard.
Follow me and ye shall find,
The salvation for all mankind.
Spread the Word for there is a need,
And those who will hear will be saved indeed.
So open your heart and you shall find,
A Master, Good and Kind.

What Is Your End?
You think you know your end,
Where your eternity you will spend.
Don't bet your life on the unknown,
Let me tell you what is set in stone.
My end has been secured by God,
He sent His Son to walk on this sod.
He came as a small child,
He is sinless and undefiled.
He spoke to the wise of the day,
But when He spoke they had nothing to say.
His words did confound,
And His power does astound.
He fed the many and they were filled,
He knew that someday His blood would be spilled.
His life made my life worth living,
And that is why my life I am giving.
Do not leave your soul alone,
Let Christ's blood for it atone.
Do you want to die and burn,
Or do you want to live and learn?

Speaking of the Resurrection
We need to speak of what happened on that day,
Because there is so much that we can say.
He took the time to take care for our deepest need,
And He did for our sins did bleed.
He is not dead, but living in Heaven on high,
And we are looking forward to second coming drawing nigh.
He died on one day and then on third day did rise,
And to many this caught them by surprise.
For resurrection completes our salvation,
And redeems from our sin and separation.
So we do to identify and are baptized,
So men can see that our life has been revised.
Speak of the most important thing,
And recall His life when we sing.
Living on, He does for us intercede,
And through His death, we are from sin freed.

Speak
I have not been able to utter the words,
But You have given me the voice of many herds.
Let not my lips utter words of pain,
And let in my heart, Your Spirit reign.
You allowed me to speak Your Word,
So that Your message could be heard.
Words of life and nothing of death,
But by Your power, I have life's breath.
Like Moses, Jeremiah, and Paul,
You have used them all.
I speak because I know His Word,
And I will speak so the world will have heard.

Father
I have been blessed to be a father,
A blessing like no other.
I take this trust and hold it to my heart,
And have asked for Your guidance from the start.
You are the example I look to,
Knowing that I should follow and do.
Fathers lead the home, and I pray,
That You will help me lead from day to day.
So many fathers have left their post,
And it has been when they are needed most.
Father, hold this father to this sacred trust,
And help me to not be drawn away by lust.

Corpsman's Prayer
Lord, I have been given care of the wounded and sick,
Give me the strength to take care of them safely and quick.
Lord, guide my hand in whatever I do,
May I by the wisdom I have gained, bring them safely through.
Lord, may I uphold the pledge I have made,
And smartly use the tools of my trade.
Lord, You have led to this field,
So that I in Your presence, my spirit yield.
Lord, many have gone before me on this road,
May I not this trust erode.
Lord, I have committed myself this country to serve,
May I give all that I have, and all that they deserve.
-HN Jinright, USN

I Live
I am not laying in the grave,
I came to seek and to save.
So that men would not be to sin a slave,
For all I had I gave.
Many thought that I had gone,
But when three days past,
I returned to take my place upon the throne,
By my blood sin became the outcast.
Take this life I give,
And know that you will eternally live.
For rise to take up the cross,
And go forth to show the need to the lost.

Cast Off
Cast off the veil of flesh,
And walk in new life afresh.
We need to leave it behind,
And have within ourselves a new mind.
Jesus taught us to live,
And we must His message give.
For if we do not cast off the flesh,
Then we cannot live new life afresh.
The world cannot save your soul,
Because they seek to control.
Do not seek that of corruption,
Because it's end is eternal destruction.

My God Is Alive
God is alive and so is His Son. The questions I would think that come to mind here are: Is God dying, or Is my faith dying? God's Son did die and He himself did rise three days after. We have been misled by Satan, and he continues to mislead people down the path of destruction and despair. It has come in the guise of religion, fundamentalism, and even Christianity. Religion has claimed have the answers to the spiritual questions that come to mind, but it has become a cause for more confusion. There are a myriad of religions out there, and all of them claim that they have the only way to God. I hate to burst the bubbles of all these people, but the only way to God is through His Son, Jesus Christ. I have said fundamentalism, because there is so much confusion about what is right and wrong in Christianity. Confusion is one of Satan's greatest tactics to turn people away from God. Christianity is how we classify what we believe. The term, Christianity, has turned people away, because it has been considered a religion. I am in the process of reading C. S. Lewis' Mere Christianity, and finding out how he is defining Christianity in the simplest terms. I think that we do need to make what we believe simple, because if we don't we will send many more people to Hell.
