May Our Voices Be A Golden Trumpet Call That You Must Be Born Again Only Found In Jesus Christ, Our Lord, And King by Debbie Harris

The sonnet, titled “To the Glory of God,” inspired by 1 Corinthians 10:31 (KJV), emphasizes living every action—whether mundane or significant—to honor God. It portrays life’s moments, from work and prayer to joy and trials, as opportunities to reflect divine love and grace. No deed is too small when done with sincere faith, and through a life of devotion, God’s glory shines eternally.

Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God.

(1 Corinthians 10:31, KJV)

In every task, from humble to the great,
Let all be done to magnify His name.
Each fleeting breath, each step in mortal state,
Shall bear the glow of heaven’s sacred flame.

The dawn’s first work, the twilight’s whispered prayer,
The joys we share, the trials we abide—
All threads of life, when woven with true care,
Reflect His grace, His love that will not hide.

No deed too small, no moment cast away,
When offered up with spirit pure and free.
In toil or rest, in grief or glad array,
His glory shines through faith’s eternity.

So let us live, in word and deed abroad,
To honor still the everlasting God.

The poem “Abhorring What is Evil” (inspired by Romans 12:9) condemns evil as a deceptive, corrupting force that spreads lies and destruction. It urges readers to reject evil’s temptations with resolve, embracing virtue, truth, and love instead. By actively opposing evil and upholding righteousness, one can live freely in divine light.

Abhor what is evil; hold fast to what is good.— Romans 12:9 (ESV)

In shadows deep, where evil dwells,
A serpent’s hiss, a tolling knell,
Its whispered lies, like poison spread,
Corrupt the heart, defile the head.

Abhor the dark, its cunning wiles,
The twisted greed, the venomous guiles.
It cloaks itself in fleeting gain,
But leaves behind a wretched stain.

With steadfast heart, reject its call,
Let virtue stand, unyielding, tall.
For evil thrives where silence grows,
And festers in the soul’s repose.

Cast out its shade with righteous flame,
Condemn its deeds, expose its shame.
Hold fast to truth, let love abide,
And turn from wrong with holy pride.

For in the fight to spurn what’s vile,
We carve a path to the divine.
Abhorring evil, we are free,
To live in light, eternally.

Against the Tame Gospel: A Call for John the Baptists, Daniels, Esthers, Josephs, Deborahs, and Charlie Kirk’s to Thunder Truth Once More by Debbie Harris

The poem is a passionate lament and call to action, decrying the rise of a soft, inoffensive, culturally conformist Christianity that prioritizes grace without truth, avoids naming sin, and shuns biblical conviction to appease congregants and maintain relevance. It questions the absence of bold, authentic Christian voices—likened to John the Baptist, Stephen, Moses, Daniel, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego—who fearlessly proclaimed truth, stood firm against worldly pressures, and upheld the full counsel of Scripture. The poem critiques modern pulpits for silencing the word “sin” and blending with the world, urging a return to fiery, uncompromised faith that confronts cultural issues and preaches repentance with courage. It’s a rallying cry for Christians to rise with the zeal of biblical heroes, reject a tame gospel, and boldly proclaim truth, even at the cost of offense or loss.

Where are the John the Baptists, wild and bold,
Voices of thunder, truth to be told?
Crying in the wilderness, “Repent, turn from sin!”
Not swayed by the crowd or the coins they bring in.

Where are the Stephens, faces aglow,
Speaking the Word, though stones may be thrown?
Unyielding, unashamed, with conviction they stood,
Preaching the cross, not a gospel of “good.”

Where is the Moses, staff raised to the sky,
Defying the Pharaohs who bid us comply?
No compromise struck with the gods of this age,
But burning for truth on a heaven-lit stage.

Where is the word “sin” in the pulpits today?
Softened, diluted, or tucked far away?
Grace without truth is a hollow refrain,
A gospel that tickles but never will reign.

Where are the Daniels, who bow not to kings,
Whose prayers shake the heavens, whose faith fiercely clings?
Shadrach, Meshach, Abednego’s flame,
Unbowed in the fire, they honored His name.

Oh, for the Christians who don’t blend with the world,
Whose banners of righteousness boldly unfurl!
No worship of relevance, no fear of the cost,
No love for the fleeting, no truth lightly tossed.

Rise up, firebrands, let the silence be broken,
Speak the full counsel, let the Spirit be spoken!
For a gospel that saves is a gospel that stings,
And the cross that we carry still offends earthly kings.

The poem In the Beloved, inspired by Ephesians 1:6, celebrates the profound privilege of being accepted in Jesus Christ, portrayed as an act of divine grace. It uses exquisite, concise language to depict believers as royalty, freed from sin, adorned with Christ’s love, and eternally bound to Him. The imagery emphasizes mercy, splendor, and the honor of being God’s heirs, culminating in a joyful adoration of the Savior.

Ephesians 1:6 – “To the praise of the glory of His grace, wherein He hath made us accepted in the Beloved.”

O grace divine, eternal call,
In Christ, the Beloved, we stand tall.
No greater honor could we claim,
Than to be sealed in Jesus’ name.

His love, a robe of splendor bright,
Arrays our souls in holy light.
From sin’s dark chains, He sets us free,
Crowning us with His royalty.

Exquisite mercy, pure and grand,
He holds us in His nail-scarred hand.
Accepted, cherished, we abide,
Forever bound to His pierced side.

O Savior’s heart, our throne, our home,
In You, we reign, no more to roam.
With joy we sing, Your name adore,
God’s royal heirs forevermore.

To bow before Your Son’s great throne;

And save the lost, their hope restore.

Revive, ignite, restore, we pray,
Let Christ be Lord in every way.

To life eternal, evermore.

Your truth to all the world impart.

Till every knee to You shall bend.

By sovereign grace from Your right hand.
Till earth resounds with songs of praise,
And souls redeemed their voices raise;
Christ, Lord of all, forever reign,
Revive our world through souls You claim!

Refrain:
Revive, ignite, restore, we pray,
Let Christ be Lord in every way.
Through souls redeemed, Your Spirit send,
Revival bring, through Christ alone.

Psalm 3:3 (KJV)
“But thou, O Lord, art a shield for me; my glory, and the lifter up of mine head.”

Sonnet

O Lord, a shield for all who seek Thy grace,
Thou guard’st their souls when foes in wrath arise.
Thy boundless might bids fear to yield its place,
A fortress strong beneath the stormy skies.
Their glory, Thou, who crowns each weary brow,
Dost lift their gaze when sorrow weighs them low.
In darkest night, Thy light reveals the how
To stand unbowed where bitter winds may blow.
No enemy can pierce Thy holy guard,
Nor steal the hope Thy presence doth afford.
With Thee, their hearts are ever upward starred,
Thy hand sustains through paths by all explored.
O Lifter of their heads, their trust is Thine,
Their shield, their glory, evermore divine.
