Introduction from the Poet

Beloved reader,

In a world that endlessly offers its remedies—vain philosophies that twist like smoke, and therapies that soothe but cannot save—I have turned my eyes and pen to the one unfailing Source. Psalm 107:20 declares with divine simplicity: “He sent his word, and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions.”

This truth kindled the verses that follow. I wrote them not as mere poetry, but as a humble declaration of worship. No earthly wisdom, however eloquent, can compare to the living, active, perfect Word of our Triune God—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. It is this Holy Word alone that pierces darkness, shatters chains, heals the broken, and sustains the redeemed.

May these lines exalt the Lord who speaks, and may they stir your heart to trust in Him completely. To God alone be all glory, now and forever.

In awe of His sovereign Word,

The Poet

Dedication

To the Triune God—

Father, who spoke the worlds into being,

Son, the Living Word made flesh,

and Holy Spirit, the Breath of Life—

This poem is humbly offered in adoration and thanksgiving.

May it exalt Your Holy, living, perfect Word above all philosophies, therapies, and earthly wisdom, and may it bring comfort and deliverance to every weary soul who reads it.

Soli Deo Gloria.

Psalm 107:20 — He sent his word, and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions.

In shadowed vales where mortal hearts decay,

Where fevers rage and chains of sin enthrall,

The Triune God, in sovereign mercy’s sway,

Dispatches forth His Word, and heals them all.

No thunder’s roar, no lightning’s fierce array,

No kingly edict borne on trumpets’ call,

Can match the power of that living ray—

The Holy Word that breaks the grave’s dark thrall.

Father, who spoke creation’s vast design,

Son, the Eternal Logos, flesh made light,

Spirit, who breathes the fire of truth divine—

One God in Three, in perfect glory bright.

He sent His Word across the wilderness,

To souls in bondage, lost in deep despair;

It pierced the night of woe and deep distress,

And lo! the broken rise, made whole and fair.

What force on earth or hell can e’er compare

To this almighty utterance of grace?

Not by vain philosophies or therapy’s care,

But by the Holy, living, perfect Word of God we are healed—

It topples empires, lifts the fallen there,

And turns the mourner’s tears to songs of praise.

O Triune Lord, Thy Word shall ever stand,

Unshaken rock in time’s relentless flood;

By it we live, by it delivered and sustained—

The greatest power is Thine, O Triune God!

Gall for Ink and Venom for Cologne: A Classical Rhyme Exposing the Demonic Wickedness of a Woke Press That Inverts God’s Truth by Debbie Harris

The Woke Press

In an age when the ancient warning of Scripture burns with renewed urgency, the modern press has become the chief architect of moral inversion. Once tasked with shining light into darkness, today’s dominant media outlets—driven by ideology over truth—systematically call evil good and good evil. They glorify the destruction of life as “reproductive rights,” cheer chaos and lawlessness as “social justice,” redefine biological reality as oppression, and brand dissent, merit, and tradition as grave sins. This is no mere bias; it is the fulfillment of prophecy.

Verse (Isaiah 5:20)

Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!

In marble halls where truth once held her throne,

A serpent scribes now twist the sacred line;

With gall for ink and venom for cologne,

They crown the night and call the daylight crime.

What Heaven forged as good—the hearth’s firm chain,

The merit earned by sweat and tempered steel—

They brand as curse, as patriarchal stain,

While lauding sloth that turns the soul to meal.

The unborn child, a spark of deathless flame,

They carve from womb and christen “choice” sublime;

The rioter’s torch, the looter’s lawless claim,

They hail as justice, pure and serpentine.

Man is not man, nor woman woman wrought—

They geld the flesh that Nature’s chisel shaped;

“Liberation!” rings for every lusting thought,

While gagging speech that dares defy their tape.

Old borders bleed, ancestral virtues scorned,

The savage crowned, the builder shamed and shorn;

They cheer the mob, the guiltless newly adorned

With sins their sires never dreamed or borne.

Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil—

Thus spake Isaiah in the KJV’s pure fire;

These editorial choirs in priestly guise

Flip Heaven’s scales and nurse the devil’s choir.

Yet Time’s sharp blade shall strip their painted veil,

And History’s ledger, pitiless, decree:

The press that knelt to fashion’s fickle gale

Served not the light—but Hell’s own liturgy.

Thus falls the reign of inverted sacred lore;

The remnant stands; the reckoning draws near,

When truth, unshackled, storms the liar’s door

And wakes the world from this demonic snare.

Abhor That Which Is Evil and Cleave to That Which Is Good by Debbie Harris

A Brief Introduction

In an age that often prizes tolerance above truth and relevance above righteousness, Romans 12:9 calls believers to a higher standard: sincere, undissembled love that fiercely abhors evil and tenaciously cleaves to good. This poem echoes that ancient charge, reminding us that holy hatred of sin—paired with Christlike grace—guards the church, strengthens communities, and preserves godly culture.

Romans 12:9 (KJV) “Let love be without dissimulation. Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good.”

Romans 12:21 (KJV) “Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.”

Ephesians 5:11 (KJV) “And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them.”

Proverbs 8:13 (KJV) “The fear of the Lord is to hate evil: pride, and arrogancy, and the evil way, and the froward mouth, do I hate.”

Psalm 97:10 (KJV) “Ye that love the Lord, hate evil: he preserveth the souls of his saints…”

Let love be undissembled, pure and bright,

As dawn’s first ray that brooks no shade of night;

No honeyed tongue that hides a viper’s tooth,

But heart with heart in covenant of truth.

Abhor the evil — loathe it as the grave

Loathes life, as darkness hates the light it craves.

Not mild distaste, nor tolerance’s truce,

Nor relevance that bends the holy use

To fit the fleeting fashions of the age

And make the narrow way seem broad and sage.

With holy hatred scorch the creeping lie,

The lust that turns the temple into sty,

The envy’s gall, the pride that topples thrones,

The greed that gnaws the marrow from men’s bones,

The sloth that chokes the good seed ere it rise,

The wrath that blinds both justice and mercy’s eyes.

Cast out as dross what God has named unclean,

For we are called to abhor, not to convene

With darkness in the name of love or peace —

No compromise where holy wrath must cease.

Thus altars stand, thus cultures are preserved,

When evil is detested and not served.

O cleave to good! As shipwrecked sailor clings

To rock amid the tempest’s furious wings;

As ivy grips the ancient oak in hold,

As magnet leaps to steel with joy untold.

Cleave to the truth that sets the captive free,

To justice robed in pure integrity,

To mercy that forgives yet calls sin sin,

To courage that will die ere it give in.

Thus churches rise, unshaken on the stone,

Not seeker-pleasing, not to trends conformed,

But faithful pillars where the Word is throned,

Unbent by winds however fierce or warm.

Thus communities, like ramparts old and high,

Defy the flood when evil men decry;

Thus cultures flourish, rooted deep in grace,

And nations walk where heaven shows its face.

Awake, O watchers! Lift the trumpet’s blast,

Call out the canker ere the harvest’s past.

With love’s fierce fire and Christ-like tears of grace,

Expose the darkness, occupy the space

Where good must grow. Hate sin, yet love the soul;

Reprove, restore, and make the wounded whole.

For in this balance — love without disguise,

Abhorring evil, scorning compromise,

Rejecting tolerance of what defiles

And relevance that only breeds more wiles —

The image of our Maker shines once more,

And heaven’s pattern treads the earthly floor.

So guard the hearth, the altar, and the line,

Till Christ returns in glory all-divine.

The Kindness of God That Leads to Repentance: A Triumphant Hymn of Total Transformation, Victorious Beauty, and Joyful Holiness by Debbie Harris

A Brief Reflection

It is the kindness of God — not His wrath — that gently draws us to repentance. In that sacred turning, everything changes: our thoughts, our relationships, our capacity to forgive, and even our very definition of beauty. What emerges is a victorious, holy joy that makes walking in holiness a delight rather than a burden. This poem celebrates that beautiful transformation.

Romans 2:4 (KJV)

Or despisest thou the riches of his goodness and forbearance and longsuffering; not knowing that the goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance?

In gentle light where mercy softly gleams,

The Father’s kindness flows like morning streams,

Not wrath’s sharp sword, nor thunder’s dread command,

But love’s warm hand that draws the wandering lamb.

It leads to repentance—O glorious turn!

With one surrendered heart, all things are made new;

Old chains dissolve, fresh heavens break in view,

And every shadowed corner floods with morning’s dew.

Perspectives shift like dawn on shadowed hills,

Where bitterness yields to forgiving wills;

Old grudges fall like leaves in autumn’s breath,

And relational chains give way to life from death.

Grace like a river cleanses every stain,

Mercy restores what pride had sought in vain;

Forgiveness blooms where anger once held sway,

And hearts, once stone, now pulse with heaven’s ray.

Behold! With true repentance, everything is changed—

The soul awakes, the mind is rearranged;

Even our definition of beauty is reborn,

No longer bound to fleeting, fading form.

A brand-new vision of beauty rises bright,

Not worldly gloss, but holy, victorious light;

Where truth and goodness shine in purest ray,

And every noble line points heaven’s way.

In aesthetics pure, a classical delight,

Beauty returns in measured rhyme and light—

The ordered verse, the noble form and tone,

Where truth and goodness in one splendor shone.

No fleeting trend or fractured modern cry,

But timeless echoes lifting soul and eye;

In God’s kind gaze the broken finds repair,

And every changed life breathes celestial air.

What joy unbounded walks in holiness!

Pure feet on holy ground, the soul at rest;

Each step a triumph, every breath a song,

In radiant freedom where the righteous throng.

O soul, receive this kindness while it calls,

Let full repentance adorn thy heart’s true halls;

For in such turning, heaven’s beauty reigns,

And everlasting triumph breaks all chains!
