Of Ships and Souls

I have driftedAmidst languid groansOf wooden shipsWith rhythmic tones,Creaking timberedBeams and bonesWhispered notesAnd anecdotesCadence set by ocean swellsAnd harmonies of distant bells. The melody ofWood on woodShould never beMisunderstoodThe moaningClothed in solitudeBurnished coalsOf ships and soulsMy table strewn with wine and bread,The wind my song, the stars my bed. There’s comfort foundWhen pulled awayFrom restive thoughts,And restless […]

The Benefits of Worship

2/27/2020 Rev. Walt Wellborn Psalm 16:11 “You make known to me the path of life; you will fill me with joy in your presence, with eternal pleasures at your right hand.” (NIV) Worship is every Christian’s replenishment station.

Worship with Abandon

2/20/2020 Rev. Walt Wellborn 2 Samuel 6:14 “David was dancing before the Lord with all his might,” (NIV) Control. We all want it.

Worship with the Heart of a Child

2/13/2020 Rev. Walt Wellborn Jeremiah 1:6 “Alas, Sovereign Lord,” I said, “I do not know how to speak; I am too young.” (NIV) God bless the innocence of children. How often in our lives do we look back to back to a time when we were young, innocent of our wrongs, naïve in our approach […]

Worship with Praise

2/6/2020 Rev. Walt Wellborn Psalms 95:6 “Come, let us bow down in worship, let us kneel before the Lord our Maker;” (NIV) I want to challenge your perception of worship. Worship is a state of mind. Ever since humans began walking the earth, people have knelt in humility, either to their leaders or their Gods. […]

I Do Not Ask

I do not askThat you know my painFor my pain is my painTo be soothed and anointedBy my God. I do not askThat you know my burdenFor my burden is my burdenTo be lifted and carriedBy my savior. I do not askThat you walk in my shoesFor my shoes are my shoesUsed to walk a pathChosen by […]

The Words of My Mouth

Precious FatherIn these times of turbulenceWhere vitriolic hateAnd rhetoric of viper’s tongueSeek to sway strugglingSouls and broken spirits,Please grant my humble request.May I never spout opinion as truthInuendo as factRumor as prophecyOratory as realityOr speculation as principle.May the words that flow from lipsBe the words that you have branded on my heart.“Let the words of […]

The Lord’s prayer is Christ’s example to us on how to pray. Most of us recite the prayer in our worship services on Sunday morning but it is easy for us to lose meaning in the repetitive nature of our reciting. This series seeks to provide context and meaning behind the Lord’s prayer and we […]

Freedom is bought. It comes at great sacrifice. We enjoy freedom but often we don’t know what it truly means to be free. So many in the world want to define Christianity through a set of rules which to them, limits freedom. But that is truly not the case. There is really no greater freedom […]

Shift Your Weight

In a world wrought with sordid lies,And a plethora of alibiesChrystal illusions of compromiseWoven with threads ofSelf-infringementDisenfranchisementDisenchantment,DisentitlementAmongst the death throes of principalities,Political whitewash,And random bordersPainted with dust and sparkles.Where the ground crumbles and grumblesBeneath our weight,We find ourselves with one footPlanted on the earthThat lurches with every surgeOf public opinion and silver-tongued rhetoricSpoken by narcissistic […]

A Lesson from Snow

I stop to watch as falling snowDrifts for me, in chaotic flowEach flake unique, each flake aglowProgrammed chaos before my eyes. And then, as if its plannedEach bit finds purchase on the landOr in the trees to take a standStately beauty in disguise Amidst the wintry somber gaspsOf winter birds and forest snapsA crack of tree trunk […]
