In Praise of Our Lord, Savior, and True Hope: Poem - Gold Dust, Angel Feathers, and Diamonds

Every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord -- Philippines 2:11

From there you will seek the LORD your God, and you will find Him if you seek Him with all your heart and with all your soul. -- Deuteronomy 4:29

When the kindness and love of God our Savior appeared, He saved us, not because of righteous things we had done, but because of His mercy. He saved us through the washing of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit, whom He poured out on us generously through Jesus Christ our Savior. -- Titus 3:4-6

Praise be to the name of God for ever and ever; wisdom and power are his. He changes times and seasons; he sets up kings and deposes them. He gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to the discerning. He reveals deep and hidden things; he knows what lies in darkness, and light dwells with him. -- Daniel 2:20-22

For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. -- Romans 8:38,39

"It cannot be emphasized too clearly and too often that this nation was founded, not by religionists, but by Christians; not on religion, but on the gospel of Jesus Christ. For this very reason, peoples of other faiths have been afforded asylum, prosperity, and freedom of worship here.” -- Patrick Henry [May 1765 Speech to the House of Burgesses]

“The Constitution is not an instrument for the government to restrain the people, it is an instrument for the people to restrain the government - lest it come to dominate our lives and interests.” - Patrick Henry

"The religion which has introduced civil liberty is the religion of Christ and His Apostles.... This is genuine Christianity and to this we owe our free constitutions of government." -- Noah Webster from public school textbook, 1831: "History of the United States"

“The policy of one age may ill suit the wishes or the policy of another. The Constitution is not subject to such fluctuations. It is to have a fixed, uniform, permanent construction. It should be, so far at least as human infirmity will allow, not dependent upon the passions or parties of particular times, but the same yesterday, today, and forever.” -- Joseph Story, U.S. Supreme Court

Poem - Gold Dust, Angel Feathers, and Diamonds

The grass withereth, and the flower thereof falleth away: But the word of the Lord endureth for ever. And this is the word which by the gospel is preached unto you. 1Peter 1:25

Sky and earth will pass away, but My words will not pass away. Matthew 24:34

GOLD DUST, ANGEL FEATHERS And DIAMONDS
by Gene Minix

I am hearing people tell of angel feathers
And teeth being filled with diamonds and gold.
And they are so very excited
So I have been told.
What should excite people
Is to open God's Wonderful Book
And get deep inside of it
And really take a close look.
I want to see people get excited
Because God has given His Son.
That our sins might be forgiven
And the victory won.
I want people excited about His
Coming back one day.
Coming back for the true believers
And take His bride away.
If it takes gold fillings in teeth
Or "gold dust" to fall on the floor.
If it takes "angel feathers" falling
And so much more
To get people so excited
Something is really wrong, you see.
God says, "I want you excited
Because you simply love Me."
People let us stop saying, "Give me".
"Give me, give me, give me still."
Let's ask God what we can give Him
And seek to walk in His perfect will.

Every word of God is tried and purified; He is a shield to those who trust and take refuge in Him. Proverbs 30: 5

For the Word that God speaks is alive and full of power; it is sharper than any two-edged sword, penetrating to the dividing line of the breath of life and spirit, and of joints and marrow, exposing and sifting and analyzing and judging the very thoughts and purposes of the heart. Hebrews 4: 12

Open my eyes, that I may behold wondrous things out of Your law. Psalm 119:18

Your word have I laid up in my heart, that I might not sin against You. I will meditate on Your precepts and have respect to Your ways. I will delight myself in Your statutes; I will not forget Your word. Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path. Psalm 119: 11,15,16,105

I delight to do Your will, O my God; yes, Your law is within my heart. Psalm 40:8

So shall My word be that goes forth out of My mouth: it shall not return to Me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please and purpose, and it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it. Isaiah 55: 11
