Therefore

Haiku of faith


Justified by faith!

The Reformation catch-cry.

Thank-you M. Luther!


Works won’t get you there.

But works of love must follow

the great work of grace.


We enter the realm

of grace through Jesus the Christ,

finding peace with God.


Discipleship brings

suffering. We endure it;

we grow and we hope.


Not wealth or blessings,

but sufferings. Boast in these;

they show you’re from God.


Endurance and hope

stem from love, poured into hearts

by the Holy Ghost.
