Globally 100 million Christians face religious persecution. Annually, an estimated 7,000 Christians are killed for their faith! Rise up Church! Rise up and stop this Genocide!

Proverbs 31:8 (NIV) says, Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves, for the rights of all who are destitute.

While martyrs bleed beneath a tyrant’s hand,
The faithful fall, their cries ascend to God,
In pews of gold, the prosperous demand
A life of ease, untouched by sacred rod.
Their prayers chase wealth, a car, a fleeting crown,
While saints are burned, their witness carved in flame,
The cross, a mockery, is cast down—
A gospel traded for a hollow name.
Yet fire shall test what each has built in time,
The wood, the hay, the stubble—all shall burn,
Gold forged in pain alone shall prove sublime,
For Christ’s own heart the suffering discern.
Awake, O soul, and weep for those who die—
The faithful shine when persecution’s nigh.

Woe stains the earth, a shadowed tide,
Where corruption festers, far and wide.
The halls of might, once built with pride,
Now crumble ‘neath a faith denied.

The greedy feast, the honest bleed,
A commonwealth choked by deed.
Oh, mourn the trust turned bitter seed,
A government lost to boundless need.

Yet hail the souls, unbowed, alight,
Who rise to wrong the faltered right.
With courage forged in endless night,
They wield their will, a beacon bright.

Through storms of scorn, their voices ring,
To mend the torn, to balm the sting.
Praise to the brave who dare to bring,
A spark of hope on tireless wing.

Alas, the grief, a nation’s scar,
Where corruption reigns both near and far.
Yet praise ascends where faithful are,
Who seek God’s will, our guiding star,
To heal the land, one nation’s plea,
Beneath His grace, in unity.

The sonnet praises government officials who govern with a deep reverence for God, portraying them as steadfast and sincere in their duties. It highlights their resistance to corruption and their commitment to justice, guided by faith rather than worldly temptations. These officials work to restore a nation united under God’s will, offering prayers and efforts to heal societal divides. The poem concludes by honoring their wise, dutiful leadership, rooted in divine love and a higher calling.

In chambers where the laws of men are shaped,
Stand guardians clad in faith, their hearts sincere,
With fear of God, their souls are firmly draped,
To serve the land with justice they revere.

No bribe can sway, nor power dim their sight,
For Heaven’s gaze directs their every deed,
They wield their charge beneath eternal light,
A higher call their mortal hands to heed.

Through storms of strife, they labor to restore,
A nation knit by grace and righteous aim,
Their prayers ascend to mend what time has worn,
One flock, one fold, beneath God’s holy name.

So honor these, who fear the Lord above,
And rule with wisdom, duty, and His love.

The sonnet explores the superior power of faith and God over human institutions. It portrays faith as an unquenchable force that outlasts and overshadows government, enduring through challenges with quiet strength. It then elevates God as the ultimate authority, whose will surpasses all earthly powers and mortal schemes, existing eternally beyond human limitations. The poem concludes by affirming faith’s triumph over human rule and God’s transcendent dominion over all.

Faith rises high above the halls of power,
A flame no mortal edict can constrain,
Through storm and dark, it blooms—a steadfast flower,
Defying chains of law with sweet refrain.

While governments in pomp and pride may reign,
Their scepters bend beneath time’s ceaseless call,
Yet faith endures, a thread through joy and pain,
Its quiet might outshines the grandest hall.

But greater still, the One who shaped the skies,
Beyond all thrones, His will alone supreme,
In awe, the heart beholds what never dies,
A force unbound by flesh or fleeting dream.

So faith outstrips the rule of human hands,
And God’s vast will transcends all mortal plans.

The sonnet portrays the rising hatred against the Jewish people, described as God’s chosen and beloved, as a fulfillment of prophecy. It highlights God’s sorrow over their suffering and urges believers to share in this grief. Despite the enemy’s persistent rage across history, the poem traces a path to redemption through the Jewish lineage of Christ, the Son, who will return in glory to defeat sin and heal the world. The faithful are encouraged to look up in hope, as darkness cannot overcome the light of the Savior’s triumphant return and redeeming power.

When hatred swells against the chosen race,
The precious ones, the apple of His eye,
God weeps to see such cruelty’s harsh embrace,
And we, His flock, should mourn as tears run dry.
Through ages past, the enemy has raged,
Against the Jews, our Lord’s own sacred kin,
Yet in their pain, redemption’s path is traced,
The Son arises, vanquishing all sin.
Look up, ye faithful, lift your weary gaze,
Our hope draws nigh, the clouds shall soon unwind,
A King returns in glory’s radiant blaze,
To heal the world, the lost, the broken, blind.
Though darkness hates what light has long foretold,
His Savior’s heart redeems us, pure and bold.

The poem marvels at nature’s beauty—singing birds, a shining sun, and a vast blue sky—as undeniable evidence of a divine Creator, Savior, and Guide, prompting heartfelt praise.

With birds in chorus, singing through the morn,
Sun shining bright upon the waking land,
And azure blue, a sky so vast and grand,
How can we not, in wonder, praise be sworn?
Our Creator crafts each dawn, each note reborn,
Our Savior lifts us with a gentle hand,
Our Guide through shadows, steady where we stand,
His grace a gift no sin can overworn.
The world itself a hymn of boundless care,
Each ray, each wing, a call to bend the knee,
Repentance turns the heart to seek His face.
Beneath this vault of heaven’s boundless air,
We find salvation’s prize, from guilt set free,
A song of life upheld by endless grace.

The Fallacy And Shallow Leniency of Tolerance Cloaking Sin Contrasted with the Mercy and Repentance That Yield Salvation by Debbie Harris

The sonnet critiques tolerance that excuses sin as a deceptive fault that undermines truth and justice, portraying it as a frail disguise that dulls conscience. In contrast, it celebrates mercy and grace as divine forces that freely forgive, lifting the soul from sin’s depths. It concludes that true salvation comes through repentance, granting an endless prize, far surpassing tolerance’s shallow leniency.

The thought that tolerance may cloak a fault,
A sin excused as virtue’s gentle friend,
Becomes a sin itself, a sly assault,
On truth where moral lines refuse to bend.
It winks at wrong, pretends no harm is done,
A mask of peace that hides a deeper stain,
While conscience dulls beneath a setting sun,
And justice weeps for honor lost in vain.
Yet mercy flows, a river pure and free,
With grace beside to lift the soul from mire,
No sin too vast for love’s decree to see,
A pardon born of heaven’s bright desire.
Tolerance falters, frail in its disguise,
Repentance brings salvation, endless prize.

Anathema Pronounced Upon the Wayward Sanctuary Forsaking Scriptures by Debbie Harris

A house of stone once raised to praise His name,
Now stands accursed, a hollow, empty shell,
Its altars cold, its doctrines turned to shame,
Anathema, God’s voice doth sternly tell.
The scriptures lie, unopened, gathering dust,
Christ’s teachings scorned for fables wrought by men,
The flock misled, their faith betrayed to rust,
A sanctuary lost to prideful sin.
No light of grace illumes its darkened pews,
No truth resounds where once the Word held sway,
The cross defiled by those who would refuse,
To bow before the King in humble way.
Yet still God calls, though walls reject His plea,
“Return, or fall—forsaken thus by Me.”

This six-line poem begins with a rhetorical question, marveling at how one cannot help but rise on magnificent wings with Jesus Christ as King nearby. It then portrays His love as a force that soars through life’s challenges, offering limitless grace as a beacon. The poem concludes with a direct challenge to the soul to actively rise in faith, promising an eternal expanse of divine skies. It’s a compact, uplifting celebration of spiritual elevation through Christ’s presence and power.

How can we not rise, on wings so grand,
With Jesus Christ, our King, at hand?
Through storms and skies, His love takes flight,
A boundless grace, our guiding light,
Take flight, O soul, in faith ascend,
His boundless skies shall never end.

The sonnet portrays a small lamb standing on a hill at dusk, its fleece glowing as it looks to its shepherd for direction. With trusting eyes, the lamb seeks guidance through the vast, shadowy fields ahead, relying on the shepherd’s staff to lead it to safety or peace. Unfazed by potential dangers or uncertainties, the lamb follows faithfully, its gentle bleats asking what lies next, content to go wherever the shepherd directs.

A little lamb stands soft upon the hill,
Its fleece aglow beneath the fading day,
With tender eyes it seeks the shepherd’s will,
To know the path through dusk’s uncertain play.
The fields stretch wide, a sea of green and gold,
Yet shadows creep where hidden streams may run,
The lamb, so small, in trust both meek and bold,
Looks up to him who guards ‘gainst setting sun.
The staff he holds, a beacon calm and sure,
Points forth where grazing peace or shelter waits,
Through storm or stillness, danger or allure,
The lamb steps on, content with shepherd’s gates.
In every bleat, a question softly sings,
“What’s next, my guide?”—and follows where he brings.
