For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ

195:6.1 Scientists have unintentionally precipitated mankind into a materialistic panic; they have started an unthinking run on the moral bank of the ages, but this bank of human experience has vast spiritual resources; it can stand the demands being made upon it. Only unthinking men become panicky about the spiritual assets of the human race. When the materialistic-secular panic is over, the religion of Jesus will not be found bankrupt. The spiritual bank of the kingdom of heaven will be paying out faith, hope, and moral security to all who draw upon it “in His name.”

Peace Panic
Has 911 changed what we,
Do and see in 23?
We know it’s changed security
But has it change the way we see?

Events erupt from our past times.
We have parades by our design.
Parades can mark our victories,
But sometimes we are on our knees.

Bad things that happened in our past
Can have effects that last and last.
We had more joy in times gone by,
Or were we blind and did not try?

What have we learned from 911?
What did we do, what have we done?
More peace is what I wish to ask
Is that not truly our main task?

We didn’t turn the other cheek!
No we didn’t, we weren’t meek.
We tried to force our will on others.
It did not work, they are our brothers.

So much war gave others license
To invade despite defiance.
We’re consumed by wars destruction.
A pyrrhic victory’s in discussion.

Thank You, Father, You’re in charge.
So far, this war is not too large.
I pray for peace upon this planet
Before destruction makes us panic.

70:1.2
Andon taught his children to settle disputes by each beating a tree with a stick, meanwhile cursing the tree; the one whose stick broke first was the victor. The later Andonites used to settle disputes by holding a public show at which the disputants made fun of and ridiculed each other, while the audience decided the winner by its applause.

War&Peace
Coolness as the front goes through.
Today the sun will shine, ‘tis true.
A perfect day to get things done.
Look to where your best comes from.

The best will happen if we try.
There’s a learning curve, I can’t deny.
But if you truly try your best,
God’s intent will do the rest.

First alignment must be made.
For the Will of God, you must make trade.
When you align yourself with that
What God does becomes a fact.

A simple thing, but not so easy.
It can’t be done when you’re martinied.
Clear your head so you can make
Decisions that are truly great!

I have faith that we can do
Enough of what God wants us to.
And when in fact we do achieve
Life improves as God decrees!

God requires that our efforts
Must be made to give us comforts.
Then as we do our very best
We’ve done our part, God does the rest.

The best upon this world will be.
But time dictates — eventually.
Patience with the way that is
Will open doors to do God’s biz.

Thank You, Father, as You decree
We wait and promote harmony.
Though there’s war upon this world
Someday Your flag of peace unfurls.
