Faith in Christ is a new life,
not a religion.
"Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new" (2 Corinthians 5:17)
New!
This book offers so much more than just poetic sermons, although it contains a few good ones! Almost everything I know about Jesus Christ, and the Apostle Paul, I learned from my beloved pastor; Pastor Jack Sipe Sr.
In my dedication to Pastor Jack and his lovely wife Lura (who is in Heaven), I honored Pastor Jack for winning a 50 mile race when he was 23, for achieving a 7th degree blackbelt in Isshin-Ryu karate, and for dedicating his life to Christ. Pastor Jack was in his 40s when he walked away from an excellent job as a white collar electrician at Three Mile Island to become a full time pastor.
At the end of this book is a poetic sermon esteeming the late Charlie Kirk. Besides Pastor Jack, Charlie Kirk emulated the Apostle Paul quite well.
New!
Are you hungry to know Jesus?
Everyone has their own story.
But we all need the same thing…
to be redeemed to Father through Jesus Christ.
In 2012 I stumbled upon “The Ode Less Travelled” by Stephen Fry which shows you how to properly write poetry. Immediately I got the urge to create Biblical “poetic sermons” based on my beloved pastor’s teaching and preaching; Pastor Jack Sipe Sr.
It is my hope that these poems bless you as much to read them as writing them did for me. For daily encouragement, visit:

‘Tis better to be hot than cold, it’s true.
To be on fire for God is good for you.
But even worse than cold is just lukewarm.
Unfortunately, this is now the norm.
In Revelation 3 and verse fifteen
Through seventeen we learn what Jesus means
To be lukewarm. It’s leaving Him on the
Outside, and living one’s life separately.
​
Believing, but ignoring Him some go
About their business, rushing to and fro.
Such confidence they have in their own worth.
They have all that they need here on this earth.
Or so they think, but what about when they
Get caught up in life’s snares. Well then, they pray.
But that’s ok. He’s waiting patiently.
Just seek Him and He’ll answer lovingly.
But knowest not that thou are wretched, poor,
And blind and naked. He waits at the door
And knocks. Verse twenty tells us if we hear
His voice and answer, then He will draw near.
All powerful, Almighty God is He.
And yet we all mean more to Him than we
Can even comprehend. If we could see
How much He loves us, then how blessed we’d be.
And so, without Him we are lost as sheep
Without a Shepherd. By ourselves we’ll reap
Life’s hardships. So ‘tis better to be hot
Than cold, or worse, lukewarm. Ignore Him not.
"...but grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ."
(2 Peter 3:18)
If you believe in Jesus, then you are a Covenant son or daughter of God.
​
But do you understand all your benefits?
Are you confident in your righteousness through Christ?
Do you know you can be healed?
Do you read your Bible?
