The poem, under the jubilant title Jubilant Riches Unveiled: The Holy Scriptures as the True Christian’s Glorious Treasure Trove of Endurance, Encouragement, and Everlasting Hope!, exuberantly portrays the Bible as an incomparable heavenly treasure chest overflowing with spiritual riches exclusively for true believers in Christ.

It opens by likening Scripture to a divine vault of gold and jewels, evoking praise and joy (“Hallelujah!”) as it references Romans 15:4, emphasizing how ancient writings were penned to instruct and liberate souls.

The core stanzas celebrate three key gems:

Endurance as resilient diamonds and rubies, strengthened through trials.
Encouragement as flowing pearls and comforting whispers from Psalms and prophets, uplifting the weary.
Hope as a vast sapphire sea of eternal promise, far surpassing earthly wealth.

The poem culminates in a triumphant call to rejoice, dive into this opulent inheritance, and unite in song, affirming the Word’s living power as the ultimate crown of gold in Christ’s name—igniting jubilant faith and bold testimony for every disciple. Overall, it’s a rapturous ode to Scripture’s transformative bounty, blending biblical truth with vivid imagery of victory and delight.

In vaults of heaven, etched in gold divine,
The Scriptures gleam, a treasure pure and fine—
For every true disciple of the King,
A chest of jewels that makes the spirit sing!

Hallelujah! Burst forth in joyful praise,
These ancient words ignite eternal blaze:
“For all was written,” Romans cries with glee,
To teach our souls, set captive hearts free!

Endurance blooms like diamonds in the mine,
Forged in the fire of trials that refine;
Through storms and shadows, patience stands tall,
A ruby fortress, unyielding to the squall.

Encouragement cascades like rivers of pearl,
Comforting whispers in a weary world—
Psalms of triumph, prophets’ victorious call,
Lifting the fallen, enriching one and all!

And oh, the hope! A sapphire sea so vast,
Everlasting promise, holding steadfast;
No earthly riches compare to this delight,
The Bible’s bounty, our beacon in the night.

Rejoice, true Christian, in this opulent store,
Wealth beyond measure, forevermore—
Scripture’s embrace, our crown of living gold,
In Christ’s great name, our stories boldly told!

Dive deep, dear seeker, claim your royal share,
In every verse, God’s riches beyond compare;
Jubilant hearts unite in rapturous song,
The Word alive—our treasure, ever strong!

The poem “In Awe of God’s Love, Unashamed for Christ and Word” is a heartfelt, hymn-like tribute to Jesus, inspired by Romans 5:8 (NIV) and Romans 1:16 (KJV, AMP). Written in four quatrains, it praises God’s greatness, acknowledges human frailty (“We’re dust, shaped by Your hand”), celebrates God’s intervention through Christ’s sacrifice (“But God… stepped in”), and commits to boldly following and proclaiming Jesus and the Bible (“Unashamed for Christ, Your Word we raise”). It honors Jesus and prioritizes God’s Word.

In humble response to God’s Word.

But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.”
— Romans 5:8 (NIV)

“For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.
— Romans 1:16 (KJV)

For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation [from His wrath and punishment] to everyone who believes [in Christ as Savior], to the Jew first and also to the Greek!
— Romans 1:16 (AMP)

O Lord, You are an awesome God,
We’re dust, shaped by Your hand,
Mere specks, yet loved beyond all bounds,
Your mercy vast and grand.

But God… but God… but God stepped in,
With Christ’s own precious blood,
Redeeming all who turn and trust,
Believing in Your love.

How can we ever praise You well?
Or bless Your holy name?
How can we show the love we owe,
To honor all You claim?

Through Your dear Son’s redeeming gift,
We offer back our days—
A life to follow Your true Word,
Unashamed for Christ, Your Word we raise.

The poem, titled The Eternal Scapegoat: Jew Hatred Is Satanism Unveiled, explores the theme of Jew hatred as a manifestation of Satanic evil, portraying it as a historical and spiritual force that deflects blame from true sources of wrongdoing. Spanning five stanzas with an AABB rhyme scheme, it traces the persistence of this hatred from ancient times to the present, depicting Jews as God’s chosen people who endure persecution fueled by a malevolent, deceptive force. The poem highlights Satan’s role in shifting guilt onto Jews to obscure evil’s true nature, while emphasizing the resilience of the Jewish people through their faith. The final stanza concludes with “For Jew hatred, that evil’s guise, / Is Satan’s worship, cloaked in lies,” reinforcing the idea that Jew hatred is Satanism in practice.

Beneath the stars, where shadows creep,
A venom stirs from caverns deep.
A hatred old, with roots of flame,
Points crooked fingers, casts the blame.

The chosen ones, through ages marked,
Bear scars of wrath, in exile sparked.
From Pharaoh’s whip to modern cries,
The serpent hisses, truth it lies.

“Satan’s sleight,” the whisper sings,
To dodge the guilt of darker things.
He points to Jews, his ancient foe,
To shroud the evil’s undertow.

God’s covenant, a shining thread,
Enrages hearts where fear is bred.
The light of truth, they cannot bear,
So hate is sown through poisoned air.

Yet still they stand, through fire and sword,
Their faith a beacon, their hope restored.
For Jew hatred, that evil’s guise,
Is Satan’s worship, cloaked in lies.

A Sonnet on the Tragedy of Forsaking God’s Truth for a Reprobate Mind’s Dark Immoral Path by Debbie Harris

The Shakespearean sonnet, titled A Sonnet on the Tragedy of Forsaking God’s Truth for a Reprobate Mind’s Dark Immoral Path, explores the tragic consequences of rejecting God’s holy ways, as inspired by Romans 1:28 and related KJV verses. It describes how humanity, by choosing not to retain God’s truth (Romans 1:28), falls into a “reprobate mind,” pursuing fleeting lusts and idolatry (Romans 1:25). This leads to folly (Romans 1:22), as people rely on their own flawed paths (Jeremiah 10:23), resulting in sin’s deadly consequences (James 1:15). The sonnet paints a somber picture of spiritual darkness and despair but concludes with hope, as God calls the wayward to return to His mercy and life (Jeremiah 3:22). The poem underscores the tragedy of self-inflicted ruin while affirming divine grace.

Romans 1:28: “And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient.”
Romans 1:25: “Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.”
Romans 1:22: “Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools.”
Jeremiah 10:23: “O LORD, I know that the way of man is not in himself: it is not in man that walketh to direct his steps.”
James 1:15: “Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death.”
Jeremiah 3:22: “Return, ye backsliding children, and I will heal your backslidings. Behold, we come unto thee; for thou art the LORD our God.

In shadows cast by willful, erring choice,
The heart, unmoored, defies the sacred call,
And spurns the truth where heaven’s joys rejoice,
To chase the fleeting shades that lead to fall.
With minds reprobate, they weave their chains,
Embracing lies that glitter in the night,
Yet every step compounds their soul’s deep pains,
As sin’s deceit obscures the holy light.
No peace abides where God’s commands are scorned,
But restless voids that echo with despair,
For paths apart from grace are bruised and torn,
And lead to wastes where hope cannot repair.
Yet still His mercy whispers through the strife,
To turn the lost to everlasting life.

In Defense of Righteous Love: A Sonnet on Hating Evil, Clinging to Good, and the Truth That Tolerance Is Not of the Spirit by Debbie Harris

The Petrarchan sonnet, titled “In Defense of Righteous Love: A Sonnet on Hating Evil, Clinging to Good, and the Truth That Tolerance Is Not of the Spirit”, draws from Romans 12:9 (“Love must be sincere. Hate what is evil; cling to what is good”) and the idea that tolerance is not a fruit of the Spirit (Galatians 5:22-23). The octave establishes the call to sincere love, which rejects evil and embraces righteousness, explicitly noting that tolerance, as passive acceptance of sin, is not among the Spirit’s fruits (love, joy, peace, etc.). The sestet shifts (volta) to the struggle against evil’s temptations, affirming that true love hates sin while loving sinners, and emphasizes steadfast devotion to goodness and truth. The poem concludes with a resolve to uphold righteous love and walk in God’s light, where evil is overcome.

O love sincere, no guile within thy flame,
Thou hatest evil, spurning sin’s dark call.
Cling fast to good, where righteousness stands tall,
And shun the lie that bears a hollow name.
No fruit of Spirit bids us sin acclaim—
Tolerance falters where the shadows fall.
With holy zeal, we rise to heed the call,
To guard the heart with truth’s unyielding aim.

For evil’s wiles would tempt the soul to stray,
Yet Spirit’s fruits—love, joy, and peace—endure.
We hate the wrong, yet love the lost alway,
With goodness firm, our path remains secure.
So let us hold the good in fervent trust,
And walk in light, where sin returns to dust.

The poem, inspired by Colossians 1:21-22 (KJV), summarizes the transformation of humanity from alienation to reconciliation with God through Christ’s sacrifice. It describes how people, once lost in sin and enmity, are redeemed by the cross, where Christ’s death paid their debt. This act of love restores them, making them holy, unblameable, and unreproveable in God’s sight. The poem emphasizes grace, purity, and eternal peace, highlighting the shift from wrath to righteousness through divine mercy.

Colossians 1:21-22 (KJV)
And you, that were sometime alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now hath he reconciled in the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and unblameable and unreproveable in his sight:

Once lost in shadows, hearts astray,
Enemies of light, in sin’s dark sway.
Yet through His cross, the debt was paid,
In love’s embrace, our guilt did fade.

Now holy called, by grace made whole,
Unblameable, pure within the soul.
Unreproveable, in His sight we stand,
Redeemed, restored, by His mighty hand.

From wrath to peace, His mercy flows,
In Christ, our righteousness forever grows.

The poem, inspired by Psalm 8:9 (KJV), celebrates the boundless greatness of God’s name and attributes, depicted through nature’s grandeur and divine titles like Creator and Redeemer. The revised line, “O LORD, our Lord, in Your strength we arise,” conveys victory and hope, emphasizing God’s name as a source of triumph and guidance. His glory surpasses human understanding, yet remains a constant source of awe and refuge across the earth.

Psalm 8:9 (KJV):
O LORD our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth!

Can we even fathom the heights of His name,
The boundless excellencies no heart can contain?
O LORD, our Lord, Your glory unfolds,
In stars that burn fierce, in stories untold.

Your name is a whisper in the morning’s first light,
A thunder that roars through the tempests of night.
Each mountain, each valley, each wave that does sing,
Proclaims the vast splendor of our holy King.

Immeasurable titles, too grand to define,
Creator, Redeemer, Eternal, Divine.
From the sparrow’s soft fall to the galaxies’ span,
Your name holds the cosmos in the palm of Your hand.

Can we grasp the depths of Your mercy and might?
Or trace the full brilliance of Your sacred light?
O LORD, our Lord, in Your strength we arise,
Your name is our triumph, our hope in the skies.

How excellent, how holy, in all earth Your fame,
Forever we’ll marvel at Your matchless name.

Summary of Change:
The line “O LORD, our Lord, though we falter and roam” was revised to “O LORD, our Lord, in Your strength we arise,” shifting from a tone of struggle to one of victory and hope, emphasizing reliance on God’s strength and the uplifting power of His name.
