"For whosoever exalted himself
shall be abased
and he that humbleth himself
shall be exalted."
LUKE 14:13
"Take heed,
and beware of covetousness
for a man's life consits
not in the abundance of things
which he possesseth."
Luke 12:15
"If any man will come after me,
let him deny himself,
and take up his cross daily,
and follow me"
Luke 9:23
"Simon, seest thou this woman?
I entered into thine house,
thou gavest me no water for my feet;
but she hath washed my feet with tears
and wiped them with the hairs of her head.

Thou gavest me no kiss
but this woman since the time I came in
hath not ceased to kiss my feet...

Wherefore I say unto thee
Her sins, which are many
are forgiven,
for she loved much:

but to him to whom
little is forgiven,
the same loveth little."
Luke 7:40-47
"Blessed be ye poor
for your's is the kingdom of God...
Blessed are ye, when men shall hate you..
But woe unto the rich!
for you have received your consolation

and pray for him which deceitfully
use you...

and him that taketh away
your cloak
forbid not to take thy coat also."
Luke 6:20-29
"I love, love my BMW"
if you love the things of this world
you are of the world
and you have, already, your reward
you are not of Christ
as, he was not of this world

neither are his followers
of this world
people of this world
will not be saved from the second death
"And the soldiers likewise demanded of him,
saying. And what shall we do?
And he said unto them.
Do violence to no man."
Luke 3:14
I saw "my baby"
on tv today
she was barefoot and starving
halfway around the world
"my baby" needs only $8 a month
to survive
here i sit with $100 shoes
and too fat for my pants:

"Inasmuch as you have done it
unto one of the least of these
my brerthren you have done it to me"
Matthew 25: 40

"...I was an hungered
and you gave me no meat:
I was thirsty and you gave me no drink
I was a stranger and ye took me not in.
naked and you clothed me not:
sick and in prison and ye visited me not."
Matthew 25:40-43
earth is like a sandtrap
a detour
an exercise in focusing
on true substance
amidst myriad illusions
a magic wand i hold
which is my heart
it leaps with joy
at the sight and sound of you
my beloved son
since when has Christianity
been a smorgasbord of half-truths
since day one, most likely:

"why do you not understand
my speech?"
John9:14
