The poem, “Eulabeia’s Sacred Summons: A Call to Awe Before the Eternal”, urges a return to reverent awe (eulabeia) for God in a society marked by casual irreverence, progressive ideals, and blasphemy. It contrasts the world’s fleeting pride and mockery of the sacred with God’s enduring majesty and love. The poem calls the soul to pause, tremble, and worship, embracing humility and wonder before the Eternal King. It emphasizes that no trend or scorn can diminish God’s glory, encouraging a renewed devotion rooted in reverence and grace.

In a world of fleeting jest and pride,
Where sacred truths are cast aside,
A whisper stirs, both fierce and free—
Eulabeia, awe, eternity.

The casual tongue, with careless sway,
Mocks the holy, drifts astray.
Blasphemous tides, progressive streams,
Drown the soul in fleeting dreams.

Yet God remains, enthroned, supreme,
His glory burns, a living gleam.
Not wrath alone, but love divine,
Calls the heart to realign.

Stand still, O soul, and tremble sweet,
Where heaven’s majesty and mercy meet.
In silence, bow; in wonder, sing—
Let reverence crown the Eternal King.

No fleeting trend can dim His face,
No scorn can shake His boundless grace.
With eulabeia, rise, adore—
And find your home in Him once more.

The poem, titled “Living Ever in the Presence of God: Coram Deo,” explores the theological concept of living all aspects of life before God’s presence. Written in a gender-neutral third-person perspective, it portrays an individual whose every action, thought, and moment—whether joyful, sorrowful, mundane, or profound—is lived with an awareness of God’s constant gaze. The poem emphasizes that no deed or thought escapes God’s sight, and every experience, from daily tasks to heartfelt prayers, is sacred when offered in reverence. It conveys a life of purpose, integrity, and worship, where the ordinary becomes extraordinary through the lens of divine presence. Ultimately, living Coram Deo is depicted as a state of spiritual freedom and connection, with the individual’s life reflecting God’s grace and eternal design.

They tread the earth with reverent care,
Each footfall soft, a whispered prayer.
Before God’s face, their days unfurl,
A tapestry of light and pearl.

Through joy’s embrace or sorrow’s sting,
Their heart lifts up, their soul takes wing.
No thought escapes His boundless sight,
No deed dissolves in fleeting night.

In market’s hum or meadow’s calm,
In labor’s toil or evening’s psalm,
Their moments, whether bold or meek,
Are known where Heaven’s eyes do seek.

The mundane blooms with sacred hue,
The ordinary shines anew.
For every breath, each fleeting glance,
Is held within God’s holy dance.

To live Coram Deo, pure and whole,
Is to bare the spirit, free the soul.
Before His gaze, they find their place,
Their life a mirror of His grace.

The poem, titled A Call to Holy Awe: Worshiping the True Christ in Light of God’s Holiness, Man’s Sin, and the Truth of His Word, explores the reverence due to the Biblical Jesus. It contrasts this with casual, inaccurate depictions of Him. Written in the third person, it depicts a sinner, humbled by God’s radiant holiness and his own sinfulness, as revealed by the unyielding truth of God’s Word. This truth sparks a holy fear, urging sincere worship of the true Christ—both Judge and Lamb, the Lion and the great I AM—rather than a tame, human-crafted version. The poem culminates in a call for the Spirit to transform the worshiper’s heart, leading to joyful, reverent praise that honors Jesus as the King of Kings!

The Lord in radiant splendor reigns,
His holiness no shadow stains.
Enthroned above, in glory bright,
He casts away the veil of night.

Yet man, a sinner, frail and torn,
In guilt and shame, by sin is worn.
His heart defiled, his ways astray,
He cannot stand in God’s pure day.

God’s Word, a sword, both true and clear,
Reveals the sin, yet draws him near.
Its truth, unyielding, stands supreme,
A light to guide, a hope to gleam.

This truth should stir a holy fear,
A reverent soul, a heart sincere.
To worship God, the King Most High,
Whose grace redeems the lost who cry.

Yet some with careless songs devise
A god to fit their fleeting eyes.
A Jesus shaped by mortal whim,
Not Lord of all, but tame like them.

The Christ of Scripture, Judge and Lamb,
The Lion fierce, the great I AM,
Commands the soul to bow in awe,
Not offer praise with shallow flaw.

O Spirit, break that heart of stone,
Draw him to worship God alone.
With trembling joy, his voice ascends,
To honor Jesus, King of kings.

This Shakespearean sonnet, inspired by Psalm 76:4, is a fervent hymn of praise to Jesus Christ, celebrated as the Radiant One and Creator. It portrays His divine majesty and glory, radiating light that illuminates creation and inspires universal worship across earth and Heaven. The poem’s vivid sensory imagery—visual (gilded dawn, gleaming rivers, starry sparks), auditory (heavenly choir, pulsing hoofbeats, anthems), olfactory (sweet fragrance), and kinesthetic (dancing rivers, swaying cedars)—paints a dynamic scene where nature and the cosmos exalt Jesus. Mountains kneel, rivers dance, and stars magnify His name, reflecting His supremacy over creation, as described in Psalm 76:4’s “radiant with light” and majestic grandeur. The sonnet culminates in a triumphant declaration of worship, with all creation lauding Jesus’ throne through captivating anthems that enthrall, symbolizing praise shining in both earthly and heavenly realms. The structure adheres to iambic pentameter and the ABAB CDCD EFEF GG rhyme scheme, with the final line, “We laud His throne with anthems that enthrall,” encapsulating the poem’s theme of exultant, universal adoration.

From Jesus streams a light that gilds the dawn,
His radiance warms the earth with holy fire.
The mountains kneel, their stony hearts now drawn,
To sing His name in heaven’s glowing choir.

The morning breathes His fragrance, pure and sweet,
As cedars sway in breezes soft and clear.
His glory crowns the hills where wild deer meet,
Their hoofbeats pulse His praise through meadows near.

The rivers dance, their waters gleam with grace,
Reflecting Christ, the King whose eyes aflame.
The skies proclaim His love in boundless space,
Each star a spark to magnify His name.

O Radiant Christ, Creator, Lord of all,
We laud His throne with anthems that enthrall.

Brief Summary of the Poem for Readers

Title: Heralds of the Gospel Flame: The Soul Winners’ Eternal Call
This eight-quatrain, rhyming poem honors soul winners—Christians who boldly share Jesus Christ’s gospel to save lost souls. With vivid biblical imagery, it depicts their fearless mission across diverse places, undaunted by challenges, guided by Christ. Each soul won is a treasure, their work sowing eternal hope. Uplifting and reverent, the poem celebrates their divine calling and lasting legacy, inspired by scriptures like the Great Commission.

Through barren lands where hopeless hearts reside,
Soul winners march with Christ, their faithful guide.
Unshamed, they bear the gospel’s holy flame,
To light the world with Jesus’ sacred name.

No storm can still the fervor in their soul,
No chains can bind the truth that makes them whole.
With words of life, they call to those astray,
And lead them home to walk the narrow way.

In marketplaces, fields, or shadowed vale,
Their love for Christ ensures they never fail.
Each soul they win, a star in heaven’s crown,
Redeemed by grace, no longer beaten down.

From dawn’s first light to evening’s solemn hush,
They spread His word, undaunted by the crush.
“Go ye,” He said, and so they boldly roam,
To bring the wanderers to their Father’s home.

Eternal joy awaits their faithful race,
To see their Savior’s kind and glorious face.
Soul winners, bold, His gospel they proclaim,
Forever bound to glorify His name.

The sonnet “In All Things, Praise,” inspired by 1 Thessalonians 5:18, celebrates giving thanks to the Savior in all life’s circumstances. It vividly contrasts joyful moments, depicted with imagery of morning light and blooming petals, with challenges, portrayed as stormy winds and thorny trials. Despite these contrasts, the poem emphasizes unwavering praise and gratitude, highlighting divine grace and strength that transform every experience into beauty. The sonnet concludes with the triumphant affirmation that God’s boundless love eternally reigns, encapsulating the theme of constant thanksgiving. Written in iambic pentameter with a Shakespearean rhyme scheme, it weaves rich, evocative imagery to convey its spiritual message.

In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.

—1 Thessalonians 5:18

When morning’s glow does kiss the verdant earth,
And life’s delights like petals soft unfold,
We raise our song, a hymn of boundless worth,
To laud our Savior, whose warm light we hold.

When clouds descend and bitter winds assail,
With trials sharp as thorns on rugged ground,
Yet hope’s clear flame no tempest can curtail,
We praise our Lord, in whom our strength is found.

In sunlit joy or twilight’s quiet pain,
Through laughter’s dance or sorrow’s silent stream,
Give thanks, the soul in every moment gains,
For grace divine paints beauty in each dream.

In all we face, this truth shall ever call:
His boundless love, forever, crowns it all.

The sonnet, titled “Defying the Blasphemous Erroneous View of Replacement Theology,” rejects replacement theology as blasphemous and erroneous, affirming Jesus’ glorious plan for both Israel and the Gentiles. It emphasizes Israel’s enduring covenant as God’s chosen nation (Romans 11:29), which Christians do not supplant, and the Gentiles’ inclusion as grafted-in participants (Romans 11:17-24) without erasing Israel’s distinct role. The poem celebrates the harmonious unity of both peoples in God’s redemptive purpose (Revelation 7:4-9), with Israel’s future recognition of Christ and the Gentiles’ praise as distinct yet joined. Written in a Shakespearean rhyme scheme (ABAB CDCD EFEF GG) with iambic pentameter, it maintains a majestic and exquisite tone, echoing the splendor of Psalm 45:13.

God’s vow to Israel, steadfast, shall abide,
Her chosen place no falsehood can unmake;
The erring claim that Christians seize her stride,
We spurn as blasphemy for truth’s own sake.
Gentiles, through Christ, in grace are called to share,
Yet not to supplant Zion’s sacred root;
His plan preserves each role with sovereign care,
Two destinies in harmony bear fruit.
From Salem’s heights to nations far and free,
His word endures, His promises hold true;
Israel shall hail her King, her eyes shall see,
With Gentiles’ praise, distinct in all they do.
O Christ, Your glorious will shall all proclaim,
For Jew and Gentile, bound in Your great name.

The poem, titled “In Awe of the Triune God,” expresses profound reverence and gratitude for the Triune God—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. It begins with the speaker kneeling in “holy adoring grateful awe” upon truly knowing God. Each Person of the Trinity is celebrated in a dedicated stanza: the Father as the loving Creator, the Son as the redeeming Savior, and the Spirit as the guiding fire. The poem concludes by exalting the unified majesty of the Triune God, leaving the speaker humbled and enraptured in eternal worship. The five stanzas use vivid imagery and a rhythmic structure to convey spiritual intimacy and divine wonder.

When one truly knows our precious Triune God,
Heart unveiled, soul laid bare to His light,
All one can do is kneel in holy awe,
Adoring, grateful, lost in sacred sight.

Father’s love, eternal, boundless, deep,
Creator’s hand that shaped the stars above,
His mercy flows where broken hearts do weep,
A tender call, a whisper of His love.

Son of glory, Savior, Lamb divine,
Who walked the earth to bear our sin and shame,
His cross a bridge where grace and truth align,
We bow, redeemed, and magnify His name.

Spirit, holy fire, our guide, our breath,
Who stirs the soul with whispers soft and sure,
He leads us through the shadows of our death,
To dwell in God, forevermore secure.

O Triune God, in unity sublime,
Your mystery humbles every fleeting thought,
We kneel, enraptured, till the end of time,
In grateful awe of all Your hands have wrought.

A Poetic Contemplation on the Divergent Paths of the Unredeemed Soul and the Redeemed Spirit Beneath Heaven’s Gaze by Debbie Harris

A Poetic Contemplation on the Divergent Paths of the Unredeemed Soul and the Redeemed Spirit Beneath Heaven’s Gaze, which contrasts the perspectives of the unredeemed and redeemed in a third-person Shakespearean sonnet:

The sonnet explores the stark contrast between the unredeemed and redeemed through a third-person lens. The unredeemed figure, trapped in spiritual darkness, views life as futile, marked by doubt, pain, and earthly struggles, with imagery of shadows and chains. In contrast, the redeemed figure, transformed by divine grace, radiates hope and faith, finding peace and purpose in eternal love, depicted with light and upliftment. Despite existing under the same sky, their paths diverge: one remains lost in despair, while the other ascends toward divine light, highlighting the transformative power of redemption.

He walks in shadows, unredeemed, forlorn,
His eyes see naught but dust and fleeting gain.
The heavens’ call, to him, a distant scorn,
His heart bears chains of doubt and gnawing pain.
Yet she, redeemed, with radiant soul ascends,
Her gaze alight with grace that never fades.
Through trials, faith her steadfast hope defends,
Her spirit soars where love’s eternal shades.
The first, in strife, finds only earth’s cold jest,
His steps unmoored, no anchor for his soul.
The other kneels, by mercy’s hand caressed,
Her life a hymn, made whole by heaven’s goal.
Two paths diverge beneath the selfsame sky:
One lost in dark, one bound for light on high.
