The poem condemns the “sow a seed” prosperity scam, where preachers promise a hundredfold return, only to hoard the wealth in luxurious excess—jets and marble halls—leaving sowers empty-handed. It reveals Satan as the source of this glittering temptation, embraced by lean-souled preachers, while Jesus offers a harvest of freed hearts, not gold, promising eternal life over earthly thrones.

“Sow your seed,” they cry, arms wide,
A hundredfold return, they swear,
Drop your dollars in their nets,
And watch the blessings pour like rain.

But the rain falls on their rooftops,
Gilded jets and marble halls,
While sowers stand with empty hands,
Their faith a pawn in lavish plans.

Satan whispers wealth’s sweet song,
A glittering bribe to bend the knee,
Prosperity preachers dance his tune,
Their coffers fat, their souls so lean.

Jesus spoke of fields not gold,
A harvest reaped in hearts set free,
No promise of a rich man’s throne,
But life eternal, pure, unseen.

The poem denounces the prosperity gospel as a deceptive scheme, promising riches while hiding the true cross. It challenges this teaching with biblical truths—the widow’s mite and the camel through the needle’s eye—revealing its coldness toward the poor and obsession with wealth. Jesus’ compassion for the beggar at the rich man’s gate stands against this greed-driven creed, warning that it leads souls astray from the narrow way of grace.

They peddle promises wrapped in silk,
A gospel gleaming with golden lies,
“Give and grow rich,” they croon,
While the cross lies buried beneath their piles.

Prosperity, they say, is God’s great sign,
A blessing measured in cars and cash,
But what of the widow’s mite,
The camel threading the needle’s eye?

Their pulpits gleam, their voices soar,
Yet hearts grow cold to the poor outside,
For love of money cloaks their creed,
A thief that steals the soul’s true need.

Christ saw the beggar at wealth’s cold gate,
He bore the thorns, not a crown of ease,
Beware the gospel that sells His grace,
A treacherous path from the narrow way.

The poem explores the necessity of recognizing and naming sin as a fundamental step toward salvation. It argues that without acknowledging sin, humanity cannot fully grasp God’s holy law or seek His grace. The sonnet emphasizes that God’s creation—through its majesty and order—serves as undeniable evidence of His existence, leaving no excuse for disbelief. Ultimately, it asserts that by boldly confessing sin, mankind secures salvation, tying human redemption to the eternal truth revealed in the world around us.

None walk this earth unstained by mortal flaw,
Yet if we shun to name the sin we bear,
How stands the soul to heed the holy law,
Or find the grace that lingers in the air?
The word, if lost to silence or to shame,
Leaves blind the heart that yearns for saving light—
How then shall man confess his broken name,
Or turn from shadows into boundless sight?
Yet God, in wisdom, wove His truth abroad,
Through star and stone, His glory speaks alive—
Creation cries there is a sovereign God,
No excuse remains where doubters strive.
So call it sin, and let the truth be known,
Through that bold cry, salvation’s throne is won.

The Defiance of Divine Order in Elevating Women to Pastoral Thrones by Debbie Harris

The sonnet, titled The Defiance of Divine Order in Elevating Women to Pastoral Thrones, portrays the appointment of women as pastors as an act of rebellion against God’s established order. It suggests that scripture, seen as divinely authored and historically upheld by apostolic tradition, reserves the pastoral role for men. The poem critiques those who reinterpret or defy this directive as prideful, risking spiritual chaos and the eternal peril of souls. It questions whether such defiance can be blessed or if it invites divine judgment, urging reflection on the consequences of challenging God’s will. This perspective is anchored in 1 Timothy 2:12 (KJV): “But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence,” framing the sonnet as a poetic meditation on adherence to traditional biblical roles.

What hubris dares to challenge sacred writ,
Where God’s own hand has carved the shepherd’s role?
To place a woman’s voice where men should sit,
Defies the law inscribed on heaven’s scroll.
The Word, unyielding, speaks through time’s great span,
Apostles set the church on rock, not sand,
Yet rebels twist the text to suit their plan,
And claim a right not given by His hand.
Does grace bend low to bless this bold revolt,
Or does it warn of pride’s eternal fall?
The flock may stray when order’s lines revolt,
A shepherd’s call turned chaos by the call.
So ponder deep this act against the throne,
To spurn God’s will leaves souls to stand alone.

The poem depicts a rare group of Spirit-led royal souls, surrounded by a vivid lavender mist and a golden stream, who feast on God’s word. Through their humble act of esteeming each other better than themselves, they glorify God.

A lavish lavender mist unfurls its gleam,
Royal souls, so rare, Spirit-led, ablaze,
Feasting on God’s word by a golden stream,
Esteeming each other, God’s glory they raise.

In mirrored halls, we chase a fragile gleam,
A shadowed self, esteem we build with care,
Yet sands of pride dissolve beneath the stream,
A mirage born of dust, a hollow stare.
The world exalts the ego’s brittle throne,
A crown of glass, by fleeting praise adorned,
But winds of doubt soon shatter what’s our own,
And leave the soul in silence, lost, forlorn.

Yet Christ extends a gaze that never fades,
A worth unearned, by grace divinely sown,
No shifting tides, no crumbling masquerades,
His love alone can call the heart His own.
Through Him, we stand, no need to prove or strive,
In boundless esteem, we’re fully made alive.

When grace is scorned, the Word of God we take,
No gentle peace, but truth’s own sharpened blade,
A biblical stand against the dark we make,
To pierce the lies where evil’s roots are laid.
This sword, God’s voice, ignites the soul to rise,
When sin’s black veil would choke the light away,
With Scripture’s edge, we meet the serpent’s eyes,
Its holy writ our strength in fierce array.
Yet still we grieve the grace so lightly tossed,
The mercy spurned by hearts too proud to bend,
For though the Word cuts deep what sin has cost,
Love’s balm could heal where judgment seeks to rend.
So armed with God’s own sword, we stand as one,
Yet pray for grace when righteous wrath is done.

But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment.

Matthew 12:36 (KJV)

Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity. But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth; and some to honour, and some to dishonour. If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honour, sanctified, and meet for the master’s use, and prepared unto every good work. Flee also youthful lusts: but follow righteousness, faith, charity, peace, with them that call on the Lord out of a pure heart. But foolish and unlearned questions avoid, knowing that they do gender strifes. And the servant of the Lord must not strive; but be gentle unto all men, apt to teach, patient, in meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth; and that they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, who are taken captive by him at his will.

2 Timothy 2:19-26 (KJV)

Every single idle word will be judged in the day of

judgement. This indeed should keep the passionate

follower of Jesus Christ so careful and conscientious

in all one says and does! For what a redeemed golden

vessel of honor we become to our Savior and His glorious

eternal Kingdom when our words bring life, hope, healing,

blessing. When our words, actions, attitudes become a mending

redemptive balm is when we become a redeemed golden vessel

of honor,sanctified, and meet for the master’s use, and prepared

unto every good work! May our redeemed, Holy, joyous ambition

be to always choose to be a gem encrusted, golden sanctified vessel
