The End Is Beginning – A Narrative Poem

February 16, 2022

The slumbering snore baffled the sages. Long tattered rags masked the seismic rage. For eons, scribes waited with bated breath. Ominous groans bolted prophets out of sleep. Fickle throngs belabored on with stopped-up ears. Battle drums beat somewhere in time's vast space, Faintly thumping as if Hell were marching in place. The Great Bear rose, and the Red Dragon groaned, The Eagle fluttered while the Rose tilted and swayed. Have you not seen, have you not heard? The time is at hand; the end is beginning. Faintly a horn blasts in the distance dreamily. A weary few were watching and…

Completed (A Poem)

November 23, 2021

God knew that Adam couldn’t do it alone So He created woman, bone of his bone Once depleted, man now completed by Eve Complementing, persuasive, persistent is she Her powers unique, and different than his In man’s weakness, she enhances his strengths Disparate, distinct in every way, yet linked Independent, yet dependent, fulfilling needs Joined as one flesh, the two becoming as one Now they are joined, under God’s holy Son This poem was written for my lovely wife, Taylor, whom I affectionately call JJ.

Daemonium Avi (Narratio Carmine) – Demonic Bird (A Narrative Poem)

October 25, 2021

A Brief Introduction Daemonium Avi is a narrative poem based on an actual event that took place in the parking lot of my church. Daemonium is the Latin word for demonic, and avi is the Latin word for bird. I believe the title accurately describes the subject of the poem. Demonic Bird seemed to carry more gravitas in Latin. Plus, what is poetry without a little dramatic flair? However, the contents of this poem are true, and no dramatization could adequately capture the intensity of the spiritual encounter. Hopefully, poetically sharing this moment will remind others that the supernatural invades…

Should Christians Dye Their Hair? (A Biblical Study) | Podcast Edition

December 3, 2020

The Apostolic Voice Podcast is up and running. Most episodes feature an article that has already been featured here on the blog. And that’s the case with this latest episode. The original article, Should Christians Dye Their Hair?, is worth the read because it gives so many helpful links for those of you who like to dive deeper into study and reflection. But I recognize the importance of turning these blogs into audio format for busy and on-the-go folks who still want access to the information (I’m often in that category myself). Anyway, I hope you enjoy the new podcast…

Better (A Poem for JJ)

September 26, 2020

Everything meant to break us made us stronger than we were before. Every fear meant to freeze us made us braver than we were before. Every lie meant to ensnare made us wiser than we were before. Every dream we thought was dead is bigger and better than it was before. Every sad song became a worship medley in the playlist of our lives. I remember when we talked and you cried tears of joy and healing was in the sky. Our hearts soared to spiritual heights as realizations of love filled our eyes. I remember when you took my…
