COMMENTARY BY MILTON LOPEZ DELGADO Another year has come gone. The frantic shopping frenzy and stampedes for the best bargains in the stores are over. We must, however, do what we must to keep: "The True Spirit of Christmas" alive in our hearts and minds every day instead of just once a year. Sadly, and perhaps to the dismay of many believers, people have once again decorated their homes, gardens, decks, and porches displaying the wanders of the Holiday Season and the Radio Stations aired all the traditional holidays songs we've heard over and over again, most of which about fictional stories and imaginary characters that have nothing to do with the true meaning of Ch…

I write this as jest, not to make fun of anyone, but myself, as a victim of dementia. Confused? I just got back from who knows where? Now that I’ve arrived, where am I? I forgot who I am, but know where I went, but don’t know what to do when I got there! Got where? I don’t know, where? I talk when I walk, but I see that I can’t; If I could I would, but I can’t so I won’t; Won’t what? I don’t know, I forgot. I feel that I am, but ain’t too sure, I know that I’m not, But what am I not? I forgot. Perhaps a sot. My mind is a mess, but I am on my way; Life is a game, but I can’t play; I don’t know the rules, nor what to say, Wherever I’m going, I…

This is a poem that I wrote two days ago in my spare time. "Books" ~by Kaycee Lochner~ -Take a good book off the shelf, A story that you can read for yourself. Could be long, could be short, Just read a book of any sort! Mystery, romance, and even a fairy tale, All make you want to jump, laugh, and sometimes wail. In a good story, if you just look, You might find that you get hooked on that book!-

Speak To The Rock In the desert, God's people were so thirsty and dry They were angry with Moses, "Did you bring us here to die?" So God spoke to Moses, told him, 'Gather the flock And I'll give them water when you speak to the rock' There came a woman of Samaria to draw water from the well Jesus told her that day many things about herself He said, 'I'll give you living water and you'll never thirst again' Then she witnessed to the city, "Christ revealed my every sin" Speak to the Rock, and let the water flow Speak to the Rock, it will satisfy your soul If your spirit needs refreshing, don't you murmur nor complain Just speak to the Rock and you'll never t…

In life we walk down a path and that path is called life we live it for the one who created us. We should look for him in life, we should seek after him. When we listen for him we will hear him. Sometimes when we get so busy we forget to listen with hectic lives and others telling us how we should live. We must always remember God knows best and we should be listening to the still small voice. The devil tries anything to make us be from the voice of our creator. You must not listen to the roaring lion who wants to take away what God has made his a unity in Christ A marriage. You need God in that but if he isn't things will be terrible and that roaring line will get in …

The other day I was chatting with a classmate of mine at Facebook, who is a pastor. I told him something the Lord had taught me. Words that sound "safe" are not. I told him that Children have no way of knowing that dufus, knucklehead, dingbat or meat head among others can get a child into trouble. If the child calls his or her friend's mom, sister, brother, grandmother etc one of these words.This would get the child into trouble and cause him or her to lose a good friend He indicated to me that he thought that was amusing Dufus, meathead and Knucklehead are synonyms for the word fool. Meathead is defined as someone who is dull or Stupid. Knuclehead is defi…

How do you love a persson Who never got to be, Or try again to see a face You never got to see? How do you mourn the death of one Who never got to live? When there's nothing to feel good about And nothing to forgive? I love you, little sister, You're a person of the wind, Free to be the memory Of all that might have been. I love you,little sister, My companion of the night, Wandering through my lonely hours, Beautiful and bright. What does it mean to die before You ever can be born, To live the lonely night of life And never see the dawn? Ah! My little sister, You lived like anyone! Life's a burst of joy and pain, And then, like yours, …

[size=18]It's Only After[/size] Roses are so beautiful that we forget that thorns cause pain. We often forget that rainbows only come after the rain. Sometimes the sun is hidden when storm clouds are in view. It's only after the rose is picked that it will bring great joy to you. It's only after the storm subsides that peace comes to calm the seas. It's only when the light turns on that the shadow suddenly flees. Sometimes we only learn to appreciate the light, After walking through the darkness in what seems like blackest night. It's often only when you miss someone that their worth is realized, For iron sharpening iron is a blessing in disguise. You may…

If you know of any Christians that are facing death through a terminal illness, please pass this poem on to them and their families. I have been so encouraged by the way the Lord has used this poem to comfort, bless, and give strength to His children in this type of trial.

This is the text to a song I'm writing. I thought I would post it here and get comments before I get too far in writing the music. Feel free to criticize...I am the first to admit I'm not very good at writing lyrics. You did it all for me Two thousand years ago, a man walked this earth He came with no fanfare, in a stable his mother gave birth He came with one purpose, he came to die for me And because of what Jesus did, I now can live set free [Chorus] Lord, you were mocked by the crowd; you were falsely accused you were crowned with sharp thorns; you were beaten and bruised you were sentenced to die; you were hung on a tree You shed your blood, and you d…

God is So Good

I did not write this poem, but it is one of my favorites God is So Good There is a word for God I know And speak I often should It is a word our world must hear That God is always good He's good when things are going well The lost can even say But it takes a child with tested faith to say it everyday The crowd proclaims how good He is When there is money in their banks The trusting soul in poverty Still bows and gives Him thanks It's easy to sing "God is good" …

Lord, I opened up the vault where I keep all my faults, I started to look around, at all the junk lying on the ground. As I looked inside I began to wonder What could it have been That stopped Your voice of thunder, "Get out of here; you have to much sin!" But as I travel farther inside And see more of what I've tried to hide, I am more than filled with disgust, For all the things I see: the sin, the filth, the lust. So again I wonder why, After I've done all of this You still sent your Son to die, Even after all I've done amiss. How could You love me so That You would let Your blood flow? For someone who didnt care, You did f…

This is my first finished story ever! Visions: "Rainbow Sands" from another point of view by Neko55 This night, a vision revealed itself to me. I stood on the edge of a beach, the ocean lapping at my strap-sandaled feet, giving me a sense of peace. Winds passed over my sunburned skin, whispering words I could not comprehend. Clouds gathered in the distance, glaring darkly at everything around, and thundering a promise of revenge at the summer sun for cheering the world with its light. To my right loomed sharp-looking grey cliffs. I turned my head toward them, hearing a commotion somewhere along the length of their terrifying, spiny bodies, and caught sight of him:…

I have debated on whether to share one of my passions with the readers here in the forum. I have written this introduction a couple of times and then deleted it and even now not sure I will post it. My belief that Historical Baptists are the final line of defense in the preservation of historical Christianity is not born of love for Baptist preachers and Baptist institutions, my passion comes from being a student of Baptist History. I am not claiming (now would I ever do so) to be an expert on our Baptist history but I have read and studied it much and am convinced that the distinctives we hold as Historic Baptists are the same distinctives that Christ tau…

Shine forth, O light of God indwelling. May the flame burn clear and bright Fed by that pure and endless oil, The Spirit filling me. Let not This flesh, this mortal lamp, obscure The brightly burning flame. O God, Let not the lampstand intervene Or claim the glory for itself. May it be clean, and plain, and yielded To the holding of that precious Oil, flaming, burning brightly That the world may see Christ. - Joan. H. Lyon When I read this I was really encouraged and I want to encourage you all to be that light in this wicked world that burns clear and bright.
