Whether people were born in: Latin America or the USA, Ukraine or Russia, Iran or Israel or Gaza, South or North Korea, Pakistan or India, Twain or China, Or Sudan or Syria Or Myanmar or Ethiopia, Or even at sea, Their lives matter! #poetry #poetrylovers #peace

Bombs, missiles, and drones Don't give a fair fight. Can you hear the moans And the dying groans Of the people whose homes They turned into war zones? #poetrycommunity #poet #poets #PoetlArtist #PeaceAndLove

The body of Christ is far bigger than most Christians realize. I love connecting heart-to-heart in the Holy Spirit with Christ-followers from various traditions, churches, doctrines, ethnicities, nationalities and races.

History that doesn't make you uncomfortable has been tampered with. Google: Off the RACE Track--From Color-Blind to Color-Kind.

War is a great waste of human life, wealth, and resources. It is humanity’s biggest failure. War is a great waste. It is built and based On terrible cruelty Yet some people make haste To spread and to taste The hell of its horror. #poetry #IranUnderAttack

War is the most prejudice and bigoted thing people do. It causes people to want to kill people because of where they were born. #Iran #IranIsraelConflict

War doesn’t kill people. People use war as an excuse to kill people. War clearly reveals The cruel vanity Of humanity And insanity Of celebrating Our ability To kill and destroy Masses of people With fierce and savage Inhumanity. #poetrycommunity #POEMS #poet #IranVsIsrael

It’s time to stop spreading the waste of war. It’s time to activate humanity’s great capacity for compassion. #IranIsraelConflict #Peace #PeaceNow

Comfortable Christianity is powerless (2 Timothy 3:5). True Christianity is about divine interventions that confronts our comfort zones and lead us into ongoing radical obedience to the living, resurrected Jesus.

The body of Christ is far bigger than most Christians realize. God wants us to connect heart-to-heart in the Holy Spirit with Christ-followers from various traditions, churches, doctrines, ethnicities, nationalities and races. (John 17:20-21)

Hear God say this to you: “I will remove from you your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh.” (Ezekiel 36:26) Then pray this every time you stray away from His perfect will: “Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me.” (Psalm 51:10)

The best self-care is to tear down the comfort zones that trap us in habits that ensnare us in self-destructive thoughts, words, desires, feelings, & behaviors. Personal & spiritual growth require that we “tear down” our comfort zones and reform our heart & our lifestyle.

When we find ourselves living within our comfort zones we are ignoring the uncomfortable verses in the Bible.

God the Holy Spirit is working to interrupt and to disrupt our comfort zones. Will we allow Him to set us free? If so, when?

To keep Jesus as your Lord (1 Cor 8:6)) requires the never-ending surrender of all else. (John 20:28) Tear down and cut down every thought, feeling, opinion, and desire that distracts you from the reality of His ongoing presence, love, and authority in your life. (2 Cor 10:5)

The inclusion of truth and mercy in day-to-day life takes us beyond mere tolerance to genuine love and forgiveness.

Too much inclusion Leads to confusion Of truth and falsehood. It calls wrong right and Says that right is wrong. It's an exclusion Of the freedom to Follow your conscience And an infusion Of pride that rebels Against common sense.

Instead of random And blind inclusion Speak the truth in love. Remove from your life Everything God excludes. Holy exclusion Is to clean your heart And align your thoughts And actions with God. (2 Cor 10:4) The people of God Need to turn away From our wicked ways. (2 Chron 5:17)
