Dear Reader,

I write not from hatred, but from a heart heavy with alarm. In an age that flatters itself as enlightened, we have traded the ancient light of Christ for a glittering counterfeit. What parades as compassion and justice is, I believe, the oldest lie in new robes: the serpent’s whisper that power, not sin, defines us; that mercy is weakness; and that the “oppressor” must be crushed rather than redeemed.

This poem is a cry of warning. Progressivism, with its Critical Theory lens and oppressor/oppressed gospel, does not merely err—it inverts the Christian order. Where Scripture calls every soul fallen and redeemable, this ideology declares entire classes of people inherently guilty by birth. Where the Cross offers grace and persuasion, it demands rage and revolution. Where Christ says “love your enemies,” it teaches “by any means necessary.”

The bullet that silenced Charlie Kirk was not an anomaly but a logical fruit. When you paint your neighbor as evil incarnate, the moral path becomes elimination, not argument. I do not claim perfection for any political tribe—sin runs through us all—but I do claim this: the spirit now animating much of the modern Left is not progressive but regressive, a return to the ancient rebellion in Eden.

If these lines sting, let them. Let them drive you back to the Word, to prayer, and to the Lion of Judah who still roars that the gates of hell shall not prevail. Repentance remains possible. Truth still liberates. But only if we name the darkness for what it is.

With urgent concern and abiding hope in Christ,

The Poet

Genesis 3:1,4-5

Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden? … And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die: For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.

Isaiah 5:20

Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!

2 Corinthians 11:14

And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.

Matthew 7:15

Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.

Matthew 11:28

Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.

Matthew 16:18

And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.

Matthew 5:44 (for the contrast with loving enemies)

But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;

In Eden’s hush the serpent spoke once more,

Not apple offered, but a poisoned creed:

“Oppressor, oppressed”—his ancient, iron law,

Dividing souls by blood, by skin, by seed.

No common fall in Adam’s guilty race,

But birthmarks branded: White and male accursed.

The Cross grows dim beneath this new disgrace—

For mercy weakens what pure power thirsts.

Thus Lucifer, in rainbow robes arrayed,

Preaches equity as heaven’s own decree.

“By any means,” his legions cry, unswayed,

“Burn cities down, punch Nazis, set them free!”

No erring brother here to win with grace,

But “literal Hitler,” fascist, mortal foe.

The bullet sings where sermons held their place—

For evil dies, and only blood can sow.

He twists the Book, perverts its every line:

“Love not thy foe, but crush the Philistine.”

The family fractures, gender bends divine,

The child laid bare on altars serpentine.

Envy wears justice like a stolen crown,

While borders tumble, Babel’s sin denied.

Truth becomes violence when it pulls them down,

And churches kneel where pride parades abide.

This is the Beast in scholar’s garb disguised,

False prophet rising with the dragon’s eyes.

It forges guilt from air, then hunts the wise,

Devouring remnant under smiling lies.

No cleansing blood, no weary soul finds rest,

But revolution’s endless, hungry night.

Where Christ says “Come,” the serpent hisses, “Rage—

And seize the throne that God would dare deny.”

Awake, O Church! The wolf has breached the fold,

In Critical Theory’s soft and treacherous fleece.

It slays the Kirk, it topples cross and gold,

And names the slaughter “progress”—sweet release.

Yet Heaven’s Lion thunders from His throne:

The gates of hell shall never overcome.

Repent this lie, this Satan dressed as dawn,

Or watch the West descend to Christless gloom.

For progress is but Eden’s fall reborn,

Repackaged, glittering, by millions worn.

The selfsame hiss: “Ye shall be gods in power,”

Devouring age on age, hour after hour.

Arise, O Soul, in Victory Proclaim: The Triumphant Power of Unceasing Prayer to the King of Kings and Lord of Lords by Debbie Harris

Dear Reader,

In moments when tragedy, death, or sickness knocks at our door, the human heart instinctively turns toward Heaven. Prayer becomes not merely a habit, but a lifeline—a powerful, intimate conversation with the One who rules the universe. This poem was born from that timeless truth: that our Saviour calls us to pray without ceasing, and the King of Kings delights in every soul that dares to seek Him with all their heart, soul, and mind.

May these verses stir your spirit, remind you of the unmatched privilege of approaching the throne of grace, and ignite a fresh passion to pray. In the valley or on the mountaintop, the King still waits—ready to hear, ready to answer, and ready to grant conquering power and boundless grace.

Arise, O soul, in victory proclaim!

Thessalonians 5:16-18

Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.

Jeremiah 29:12-13

Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will hear you. You will seek me and find me, when you seek me with all your heart.

James 5:16

The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective.

Philippians 4:6-7

Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

Hebrews 4:16

Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need.

Psalm 34:17-18

When the righteous cry for help, the Lord hears and delivers them out of all their troubles. The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit.

In shadowed vales where tragedy holds sway,

Where death and sickness claim their ruthless prey,

The hearts of men, in desperation’s hour,

Turn heavenward and seek the Almighty’s power.

There dwells a force no mortal tongue can tell,

In whispered words that rise where sorrows swell;

Our Saviour bids us pray without ceasing,

For He delights in converse never ceasing—

Sweet conversations with the King of grace,

Who bends to hear each soul in every place.

No atheists are found in foxholes grim,

When battles rage and hope grows faint and dim;

In trial’s forge, the soul lifts up its plea,

And mountains tremble, bending every knee.

The sick are healed, the broken mended whole,

By faith’s pure touch that stirs the very soul;

What privilege, what joy beyond compare,

To call upon the King who rules the air!

O King of Kings and Lord of Lords most high,

True Sovereign of the earth, the sea, the sky—

In prayer we kneel before Thy throne above,

And taste the boundless mercy of Thy love.

We thank Thee, Lord, for this sweet privilege rare—

The open door to meet Thee anywhere.

The King awaits to hear thy fervent prayers!

He greatly joys in every soul that dares

To seek Him with all heart and soul and mind,

His people’s cries He treasures, pure and kind.

O King of Kings and Lord of Lords divine,

The Way, the Truth, the Life, the living Vine;

Redeemer, Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God,

Prince of Peace, true Ruler of all the earth abroad.

Arise, O soul, in victory proclaim!

The King awaits—and answers in His name!

He joys in every heart that seeks His face,

And grants His conquering power, His boundless grace!

The Tragic Threshold Where Mercy Withholds Its Pearls: Reflections on the Reprobate Soul by Debbie Harris

Dear Reader,

These lines were born in the quiet hour when the soul weighs the weight of Scripture against the hardness of our age. The command of our Lord in Matthew 7:6 — “Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine” — is not a counsel of despair, but of divine wisdom and mercy. There comes a tragic threshold where continued striving with the reprobate mind no longer serves the cause of grace; it only deepens judgment and wounds the giver.

I have written not to condemn, but to sober the heart of the faithful. May you discern the soil before you sow. May you guard the sacred treasure when the mire threatens to swallow it. And may you never cease praying for those still within reach of repentance, even as you learn, with holy restraint, when to withhold the pearl.

In solemn hope and trembling reverence,

The Poet

In shadowed vales where reprobate minds roam,

Defiant hearts reject the light of Truth,

They spurn the Word that calls the sinner home,

And trample sacred lore beneath their hoof.

The Gospel’s pearls, like dew on morning’s rose,

Are offered pure to souls that thirst for grace;

Yet when the ear grows deaf and conscience closed,

The hand of Heaven stays its giving place.

“Forbear,” the Master whispers from on high,

“Cast not these gems where swine in mire wallow;

They turn again and rend the giver’s thigh,

Then rend the holy seed in fury shallow.”

O tragic point where mercy’s door swings shut,

Where love itself must sheath its shining blade!

The reprobate, in chains of self-made rut,

Chooses the dark, and darkness is repaid.

So tread with wisdom on this mortal sod,

Discern the soil ere scattering the seed;

For some will bloom beneath the grace of God,

While others mock—and God Himself will heed.

Hold fast the pearls; reserve them for the meek,

Who hunger after righteousness alone.

The swine may rage, the blinded never seek—

But Heaven’s treasury is not overthrown.

Do You Know Jesus Christ As Your Personal Lord And Saviour? by Debbie Harris

Dear Reader,

I wrote this poem as a simple, heartfelt invitation — not as judgment, but as a loving question that has changed my own life. In a noisy world full of distractions, I believe this is one of the most important things we can ever ask another soul.

My deepest desire as the poet is to take as many people to Heaven as possible. That journey begins with repenting of our sins and accepting Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour — the only way to receive His forgiveness, new life, and the promise of eternity with Him.

May these words stir something deep inside you.

For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?

— Mark 8:36-37 (KJV)

Do you know Jesus?

He is full of life, light, truth, and grace.

Do you know Jesus?

This is the question we should ask

every soul we meet—

rich or poor, strong or weak.

Do you know Jesus?

The One who calms the storm inside,

who breaks the chains we try to hide.

Do you know Jesus?

Come and see, come and taste

the living hope, the endless feast.

Do you know Jesus?

Neither Blind, Cynical, nor Hardened: Eyes Washed in the Blood of the Lamb – Merciful Hearts Dwelling in Grace, Love, and Discernment According to the Mind of Christ by Debbie Harris

Dear Reader,

In a world filled with wolves, illusions, and weary hearts, our Lord Jesus Christ calls His sheep to walk a narrow and beautiful path: to be wise as serpents and harmless as doves (Matthew 10:16). This poem is an invitation to dwell in that tension—to live with eyes wide open to sin, sorrow, and brokenness, yet never grow cynical or hardened; to see reality clearly without losing the tenderness of mercy, the warmth of grace, or the steadfastness of love.

It is written for the Christian who longs to behold the world as it truly is—thorns and all—while remaining anchored in the wounds of the Lamb. May these lines stir your heart to clearer sight, deeper compassion, and firmer hope in the One whose blood both washes our eyes and keeps our hearts soft.

May you find refuge in Christ, who perfectly balances justice and mercy, truth and love.

Grace and peace to you in our Lord Jesus Christ,

Matthew 10:16

Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves.

In mercy’s fountain, deep and ever wide,

The weary soul may dwell where grace unmeasured flows;

Love’s holy fire the coldest heart hath tried,

And kindled light where shadowed doubt arose.

Discernment’s lamp, by Spirit’s breath made bright,

Illumes the path no mortal eye could see;

Yet in this dwelling, veilèd not from sight,

One sees the world as it was meant to be.

Not blind to thorn, nor deaf to serpent’s hiss,

Nor rose-tint’d glass o’er broken stone and dust;

The wound of sin, the weight of man’s abyss,

Stand plain beneath the Cross’s holy thrust.

For He who bore the spear and crown of pain

Hath opened eyes that truth might not be slain.

No soft delusion wraps the pilgrim’s breast;

The lion roars, the wolf in sheepskin preys,

Yet mercy bids the soul love the distressed,

And grace equips the faithful for the battle’s blaze.

Discernment draws the line ‘twixt night and day,

While love still weeps and bids the sinner stay.

The tempter’s lie, the tyrant’s iron rod,

The fleeting gold that turns to dust and rust—

All these the clear-eyed pilgrim sees from God,

Yet bows in pity, knowing they are dust.

For sin is real, and sorrow’s cup is deep,

But deeper still the mercy that can keep.

The broken marriage, the corrupted throne,

The church that wanders, lost in pride and show—

These things the heart of love cannot disown,

Nor call the darkness light, nor good the woe.

Yet from the Cross a fountain still is poured,

Where justice, truth, and pardon are restored.

O Christ, Thou Lamb enthroned in endless day,

Within Thy wounds the seeking soul may hide and see aright;

No fear of truth can drive Thy child away,

For in Thy heart both justice dwells and light.

Thus fixed in mercy, grace, and love’s embrace,

The ransomed walk unveiled, beholding Thy true face.

Though storms arise and kingdoms shake and fall,

Though friendship fails and every comfort flees,

The soul that clings unto the Lord of all

Beholds the ruin—and the remedy.

For only eyes washed in the Lamb’s own blood

Can see the horror clear, and still call God good.

Let not the tender heart grow hard with sight,

Nor soft with lies that comfort but deceive;

Discernment guards, while love maintains the fight,

And mercy leads the broken to believe.

In balance held by nail-pierced hands divine,

The Christian lives—both gentle and unblind.

**Amen.**

Zion, Thou Crown of Splendor – A Classical Ode to God’s Triumphant Love for His Treasured People by Debbie Harris

31 Sunday May 2026

Posted by Debbie Harris in Christian Poetry, Exalting Jesus Christ, Holy Bible, Inspirational

Poet’s Note

I crafted this rendering of Isaiah 62:3 in a classical, triumphant tone because the verse itself pulses with victory. God is not gently comforting a broken people here—He is boldly declaring their exaltation. Zion rises from dust and disgrace to become a blazing crown of glory and royal diadem held high in the very hand of the Lord. That imagery demanded grandeur: archaic diction (“thou shalt arise,” “doth recall”), elevated rhythm, and resonant rhyme to echo the majestic King James language while amplifying its victorious spirit.

Each stanza builds like a coronation procession:

• The first lifts the crown into view.

• The second shatters the old shame.

• The third revels in divine intimacy and beauty.

• The final couplet calls the saints to join the celebration.

I chose ABAB rhyme with iambic flow to give it a stately, hymn-like quality—something that feels at home beside Milton or the great metrical psalters—yet remains clear and singable. The language stays faithful to the original Hebrew picture (a crown in the hand of God, not merely on the head) while letting the poetry soar into eschatological hope.

This piece was written for anyone who needs to remember: God does not merely rescue His people—He treasures them, displays them, and rejoices over them with singing. Whether you read it as Israel’s promised restoration or as the believer’s present identity in Christ (or both, as we discussed), the truth remains the same: you are not forgotten. You are held. You are His crowning joy.

May these lines stir faith and wonder every time they are read or spoken aloud.

Isaiah 62:3 (KJV)

Thou shalt also be a crown of glory in the hand of the LORD, and a royal diadem in the hand of thy God.

Thou shalt arise, a crown of glory bright,

Held in the LORD’s triumphant, sovereign hand;

A diadem of royal, matchless light,

Where heaven’s hosts in thunderous chorus stand.

No more the dust of shame shall thee enthrall,

For God Himself hath lifted thee on high;

In victory’s blaze, thy name He doth recall,

A jewel flashing ‘neath the endless sky.

O Zion, radiant in His grasp divine,

Thy beauty shines where stars in awe retire;

The King of kings hath made thee wholly Thine,

A royal prize that sets the world afire!

Rejoice, ye saints, in triumph’s mighty swell—

Thy God exalts thee where His glories dwell.

He Sent His Word: Nothing Is as Powerful as the Holy, Living, Perfect Word of Our Triune God by Debbie Harris

Introduction from the Poet

Beloved reader,

In a world that endlessly offers its remedies—vain philosophies that twist like smoke, and therapies that soothe but cannot save—I have turned my eyes and pen to the one unfailing Source. Psalm 107:20 declares with divine simplicity: “He sent his word, and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions.”

This truth kindled the verses that follow. I wrote them not as mere poetry, but as a humble declaration of worship. No earthly wisdom, however eloquent, can compare to the living, active, perfect Word of our Triune God—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. It is this Holy Word alone that pierces darkness, shatters chains, heals the broken, and sustains the redeemed.

May these lines exalt the Lord who speaks, and may they stir your heart to trust in Him completely. To God alone be all glory, now and forever.

In awe of His sovereign Word,

The Poet

Dedication

To the Triune God—

Father, who spoke the worlds into being,

Son, the Living Word made flesh,

and Holy Spirit, the Breath of Life—

This poem is humbly offered in adoration and thanksgiving.

May it exalt Your Holy, living, perfect Word above all philosophies, therapies, and earthly wisdom, and may it bring comfort and deliverance to every weary soul who reads it.

Soli Deo Gloria.

Psalm 107:20 — He sent his word, and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions.

In shadowed vales where mortal hearts decay,

Where fevers rage and chains of sin enthrall,

The Triune God, in sovereign mercy’s sway,

Dispatches forth His Word, and heals them all.

No thunder’s roar, no lightning’s fierce array,

No kingly edict borne on trumpets’ call,

Can match the power of that living ray—

The Holy Word that breaks the grave’s dark thrall.

Father, who spoke creation’s vast design,

Son, the Eternal Logos, flesh made light,

Spirit, who breathes the fire of truth divine—

One God in Three, in perfect glory bright.

He sent His Word across the wilderness,

To souls in bondage, lost in deep despair;

It pierced the night of woe and deep distress,

And lo! the broken rise, made whole and fair.

What force on earth or hell can e’er compare

To this almighty utterance of grace?

Not by vain philosophies or therapy’s care,

But by the Holy, living, perfect Word of God we are healed—

It topples empires, lifts the fallen there,

And turns the mourner’s tears to songs of praise.

O Triune Lord, Thy Word shall ever stand,

Unshaken rock in time’s relentless flood;

By it we live, by it delivered and sustained—

The greatest power is Thine, O Triune God!

Abhor That Which Is Evil and Cleave to That Which Is Good by Debbie Harris

A Brief Introduction

In an age that often prizes tolerance above truth and relevance above righteousness, Romans 12:9 calls believers to a higher standard: sincere, undissembled love that fiercely abhors evil and tenaciously cleaves to good. This poem echoes that ancient charge, reminding us that holy hatred of sin—paired with Christlike grace—guards the church, strengthens communities, and preserves godly culture.

Romans 12:9 (KJV) “Let love be without dissimulation. Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good.”

Romans 12:21 (KJV) “Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.”

Ephesians 5:11 (KJV) “And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them.”

Proverbs 8:13 (KJV) “The fear of the Lord is to hate evil: pride, and arrogancy, and the evil way, and the froward mouth, do I hate.”

Psalm 97:10 (KJV) “Ye that love the Lord, hate evil: he preserveth the souls of his saints…”

Let love be undissembled, pure and bright,

As dawn’s first ray that brooks no shade of night;

No honeyed tongue that hides a viper’s tooth,

But heart with heart in covenant of truth.

Abhor the evil — loathe it as the grave

Loathes life, as darkness hates the light it craves.

Not mild distaste, nor tolerance’s truce,

Nor relevance that bends the holy use

To fit the fleeting fashions of the age

And make the narrow way seem broad and sage.

With holy hatred scorch the creeping lie,

The lust that turns the temple into sty,

The envy’s gall, the pride that topples thrones,

The greed that gnaws the marrow from men’s bones,

The sloth that chokes the good seed ere it rise,

The wrath that blinds both justice and mercy’s eyes.

Cast out as dross what God has named unclean,

For we are called to abhor, not to convene

With darkness in the name of love or peace —

No compromise where holy wrath must cease.

Thus altars stand, thus cultures are preserved,

When evil is detested and not served.

O cleave to good! As shipwrecked sailor clings

To rock amid the tempest’s furious wings;

As ivy grips the ancient oak in hold,

As magnet leaps to steel with joy untold.

Cleave to the truth that sets the captive free,

To justice robed in pure integrity,

To mercy that forgives yet calls sin sin,

To courage that will die ere it give in.

Thus churches rise, unshaken on the stone,

Not seeker-pleasing, not to trends conformed,

But faithful pillars where the Word is throned,

Unbent by winds however fierce or warm.

Thus communities, like ramparts old and high,

Defy the flood when evil men decry;

Thus cultures flourish, rooted deep in grace,

And nations walk where heaven shows its face.

Awake, O watchers! Lift the trumpet’s blast,

Call out the canker ere the harvest’s past.

With love’s fierce fire and Christ-like tears of grace,

Expose the darkness, occupy the space

Where good must grow. Hate sin, yet love the soul;

Reprove, restore, and make the wounded whole.

For in this balance — love without disguise,

Abhorring evil, scorning compromise,

Rejecting tolerance of what defiles

And relevance that only breeds more wiles —

The image of our Maker shines once more,

And heaven’s pattern treads the earthly floor.

So guard the hearth, the altar, and the line,

Till Christ returns in glory all-divine.

Spiritually Curious, Biblically Illiterate: Behold Your Sin, See the Savior’s Love, and Live by Debbie Harris

In shadowed halls where seekers chase false lights,

A restless generation wanders blind;

Spiritually curious through endless nights,

Yet biblically illiterate—lost in mind.

They grasp at crystals, stars, and trending lore,

While Heaven’s Book lies dusty on the shelf;

Foundations crumble that their fathers bore,

The Holy Scriptures, silenced for themselves.

O tragic void! The Rock of Ages spurned,

The Word made flesh rejected in their pride;

They quote the self but never Christ have learned,

Who bled upon the tree for them, and died.

Yet in this darkness gleams the Gospel ray—

“Repent and trust!” the Bible’s trumpet cries;

For Jesus rose, the Stone the builders slay,

And offers living waters from on high.

Behold the Scriptures! Open wide the page,

Where Genesis whispers of the Lamb foretold;

Psalms crown Him King, Isaiah paints His wage—

The suffering Servant, purchased with His gold.

John thunders grace: “In the beginning, He!”

The cross stands tall where wrath and mercy meet;

The tomb is empty—death has lost its key—

Salvation’s door swings wide for sinners’ feet.

Though illiteracy has veiled the ancient flame,

The Holy Bible burns with Christ alone;

No other name, no other way, no claim—

But Jesus saves the broken, makes them whole.

Awake, ye souls! Take up the sacred Book,

Behold your sin in Scripture’s piercing light;

See Christ’s great love—His blood for sinners took—

Repent, believe: a new creation rises bright!

O come and drink! The greatest Story calls:

From dust to glory, death to life anew;

The tragedy dissolves in blood-bought grace—

In Jesus’ name, salvation waits for you.

We Are the Sweet Savour of Christ: The Aroma None Can Hide by Debbie Harris

2 Corinthians 2:15 (KJV)

For we are unto God a sweet savour of Christ, in them that are saved, and in them that are perishing.

We are the fragrance of the Crucified,

A scent no artifice can mask or mend;

What secret altar we have deified

Will through our every motion rise and rend.

Some glory self, and breathe a charnel fume—

Rank pride’s thick incense, lust’s corrupting musk,

Ambition’s reek that fills the narrow room

And leaves the soul a shroud of mortal dusk.

But those who kneel where blood and mercy meet,

Who drink the myrrh of Golgotha’s dark tree,

Become themselves a living incense sweet—

The very breath of heaven’s amnesty.

To some we are the sharp foretaste of death,

A gale that warns the unrepentant soul;

To others, life’s first Eden-scented breath,

The rose of paradise made whole.

O saint, keep pure the censer of thy heart!

Let no strange fire profane the holy flame;

Be thou so steeped in Christ that men, apart

From words, still catch the savour of His Name.

For all earth’s perfumes fade as morning mist,

And every crown dissolves in common dust;

But he who glories in the Saviour’s scars

Shall walk forever wrapped in heaven’s trust.

When time is rent and every veil is torn,

That fragrance shall precede thee to the throne—

Not thine, but His, eternally reborn,

The aroma of the Lamb, and His alone.
