Right with God, are we, when it matters most? The penitent thief asked for mercy in his final hour, humbly without pride. Will the opportunity be offered to us? Right with God. We know when we're not. We know when we've turned away, choosing to hear the world's obtrusive noise. Let Jesus in, past all the barriers not wearing his name. Let His light shine through, prejudices of more than race, with His mercy, unfathomable. Right with God, in His merciful gaze, dancing like children, forgiven. copyright 2026 - Donald P James Jr https://www.amazon.com/stores/Donald-P.-James-Jr./author https://www.goodreads.com

A marriage. A man takes the hand of his wife. Male and female. He said this, when they were too busy with their own questions. Why do we sully a gift? Why do we offer vows unholy, and define a covenant, between a woman and a man, by the world's twisted pride. A marriage. A beautiful bond for life. A foundation built on rock. As we have heard, a man and a woman, and the approval of the Lord. copyright 2025 - Donald P James Jr https://www.amazon.com/stores/Donald-P.-James-Jr./author

In the pride of his face, the wicked does not seek him, all his thoughts are, there is no God. Psalm 10:4 How can one seek if self is the focus? How can one even acknowledge a creator when one denies any existence of one greater than one's self? Why would one seek, when one's worship is of one's own face? Why would one so much as stand before the cross of one's salvation if one believes not in one's sin? Sin, you have laid claim to the children, who pride themselves on embracing you, and shunning love. copyright 2025 - Donald P James Jr https://www.amazon.com/stores/Donald-P.-James-Jr./author

The Tower of Babel - Pieter Bruegel the Elder Let us build. Let us plot. Let us make a name for ourselves. Let us be filled with pride. Let us take brick and stone. Let us pile one on top of the other. Let us forge a union which will never fail. Let us be filled with pride. Let us wave a flag. Let us celebrate what we are. Let us forget about He who saves. Let us be filled with pride. copyright 2025 - Donald P James Jr https://www.amazon.com/stores/Donald-P.-James-Jr./author

Be patient when you witness the world's glorification of evil. Do not be concerned. Do not envy their place, nor their prideful dance. They are grass. They are weeds. Soon they will wither and be cut down for the furnace. Take refuge in the Lord. Prosper in the ways of His words. That which celebrates wickedness will see its day as nothing more than dust. copyright 2025 - Donald P James Jr https://www.amazon.com/stores/Donald-P.-James-Jr./author

First they told us that the Words of the Bible, weren’t really God’s.   They told us that while it may have been inspired, the Holy Book was really the work of men and in essence, flawed, as all men are flawed.   Some agreed, others, who clung to God’s word were said to be uneducated.   Then they told us gender roles were archaic.   We were nothing, if not the same.   They said the defined family unit was abnormal, that mom and dad didn’t always live together, and claiming that to be the normal family was unjust to those living in other households.   Then they voted choice, rather than life.   They started using words like fetus and embryo or cluster of cells.   They chose not to mention the child within the womb.   They said it prevented back alley abortions.   They said it was the moral thing to do.   Thus life doesn’t begin until the mother chooses to allow the infant to breathe.   Then we were told it would take...

Pride, the opposite of humility, the door through which demons may enter, invited. The source of sin, the worst of sins. Satan's essential trait. Thoughts that center around self, without God, without love of other. Pride, where grace cannot exist, a viper that gnaws on the heart, tearing down peacefulness, and leaving broken vessels in its wake. Hubris wears a guise which is false. It is the heart of the fallen angels. It is love of self, and not God. copyright 2024 - Donald P James Jr https://www.amazon.com/stores/Donald-P.-James-Jr./author

Shepherd with a Flock of Sheep - Charles Jacque Shepherds scatter, as it was so in Jeremiah's day, as it was so when Jesus walked the earth, as it is in the day in which we now live. Shepherds scatter, when walking in the footprints of their own pride, rather than those of God. Shepherds scatter, over dogmas which sever His body. There should be union, bound by strengths, rather than divisions of weakness. We need to stand as one body loving God, believing the words of His son, knowing that from His death comes life. We need to love each other regardless of sins without celebrating those iniquities the world accepts. We need to focus on the narrow door through which many will refuse to pass. copyright 2024 - Donald P James Jr https://www.amazon.com/stores/Donald-P.-James-Jr./author
