FREE!! Available to All
By: Maxine M.

NOTHING catches our attention like a big sign that says “FREE”
A crowd will quickly gather…is that something I can use? Let me see
Because obtaining something “without cost” brings a feeling of glee

Free samples, free lessons, free tickets to the big game tonight
Free puppies, free kittens…these will bring a child such delight
The free beauty of a summer sunset…what an awesome sight

A gardener usually announces FREE zucchini by summer’s end
Mail order catalogues often promote FREE Shipping on the items they send
And it doesn’t COST anything to cheerfully greet strangers, neighbors or friend

There’s the free air we breathe, free advice for what that’s worth…you decide
Now, to some free things, CAUTION & SCRUTINY need to be applied
Like teaching children NEVER from strangers accept a free ride!

A promise of a free lunch is extended IF you sit and listen to a sales pitch
But be WARY of anything “FREE” that guarantees it will make you rich
Guard against the “FREE” bait in a dishonest scheme…life seldom goes without a hitch

Is this really free or is there a hidden attached string somewhere?
Check the bottom line, read the FINE print…of obscure motives, BEWARE!!
Free is only free when there’s no CONDITIONS we need to share

Stores and magazine racks are full of free literature…just take one & read
Can you spot GENUINE TRUTH? Or is the enemy planting his seed
Well let me tell you of the GREATEST FREE GIFT EVER! YES!! Free indeed

For the Gift of Salvation can NOT EVER be earned or bought
Because it was FULLY paid for by Christ’s Blood…as the Bible has always taught
And it’s accompanied by that inner-peace man has SO long sought

And it comes WITHOUT strings, secret agenda, concealed motives or hidden clause
It’s a ROCK SOLID CERTAIN FREE GIFT…not just desperately grasping at straws
A Gift offered by the Father out of His agape love for man…even with all his flaws

So NO bargain hunter ever found as a good a DEAL as this one
Eternal Life in Heaven, just by ACCEPTING this FREE Gift provided by His Son
Why would you turn down this proposal? Why wouldn’t you immediately run…

Run as quickly as you could to “cash in” on this deal…fall on your knees
For the offer is AVAILABLE to ALL…He hears all sincere repentant pleas
Lord, thank You for paying for my Salvation…Forgive my sins, please!!

The evidence has been examined, there’s only one CHOICE we conclude
And that is in accepting my Free Gift…it will change my FOCUS and attitude
And everything I do from this point on will reflect my praise and gratitude

WAR!! By: Maxine M WE are at WAR!! Not just the one we see on television every night This is a SUBTLE war, so subtle perhaps we don't even realize we're in a fight Or who the enemy is, but BEWARE!, this enemy has weapons of powerful might The weapons of this enemy we face, have been around since time began This daily war is the war of that "Serpent of Old" verses man When Eve first saw him, she should have turned around and ran For she wasn't an equal match for this enemy's 'half-truths' and outright lies Gleefully, he thought he had won when he heard her labor's cry Thinking, NOW, against the rule of their Creator, all her offspring will defy But he's only won a battle, the full blown war was only about to start And it still rages today...the war for man's soul, mind and heart The stakes are HIGH, don't underestimate him, for he is cunning, wiley and smart Most "soldiers" just do what they have to do, b...

The Last Ride by: Maxine M (in dedication to a fellow Christian who lost his life) What a lovely day!! Riding in the fresh spring air, what a thrill A "bike" gives such freedom, lets you go wherever you will But, unknowingly, death waited at the top of the hill A careless moment & a poor decision...quickly a life can be lost Someone else's mistake, but the innocent paid the ultimate cost There was no going back, a line forever crossed Life ceased in an instant, leaving a young family and friends behind In that moment, the word "tragedy" was clearly defined Life's priorities for the survivors were dramatically realigned Two lives...one's soul now vanished and gone, the other now saddled with guilt One's dreams destroyed, the future he hoped could be built The threads of life unraveled!!, into pieces enough to make a patchwork quilt The other's life too, forever changed even if he doesn't realize it yet This scene will play over and over in...

OUR MISSION by: Maxine M Our Lord's last and great commission was...Spread the Gospel's Good News The good news that Christ died and rose again, so Salvation's way they could choose Choose to accept His love & forgiveness OR eternal separation ..if they refuse Now, we're not all in a position to leave home & family for a foreign land And in reality for some, this isn't what God had planned To reach those all around us, THIS was His purposed command So we all CAN accomplish "This Commission" right where we live each day By the things we do, the love we show, the words we say By being steadfast and vigilant...keeping in mind its Christ's image we are to convey Most don't have opportunity to go to seminary or learn Spanish, French or German Or are gifted to stand at a pulpit and give an eloquent sermon But we ALL can do SOMETHING to promote His name, as we so determine Maybe simply take meals to the elderly, offer a helping hand Little acts of...
