Are you faltering in your faith when your enemies are attacking you from all sides; when they keep pointing fingers at your sinful past, and disregard the fact that they are wallowing in the dirt, and are flaunting their sexual deviation, hailing it as wholesome and natural? Why do they enlarge and tell their stories differently, in order to get media attention, and sell their books villifying a former sinner, who has been cleansed by the Lord Jesus Christ? Does villifying a person bring them fame and fortune? Why are they thinking that their sexual deviation is something to be proud about? Does being a changed person through the cleansing power of Christ make them think that they are so perfect and just? What makes them think that "ones a thief is always a thief?" "Once a homosexual always a homosexual"? "Once a molestor, always a molestor?" People can change, and they do, though not in big numbers! But some want to continue in their sins, on account that it is now very popular in this sex-crazed society we live in. And some continue rubbing in ones past continually year after year, lying through their teeth, in order to get more attention. The question is: How will they be able to justify themselves at the final judgment, when their lifestyles are laid bare; What excuse will they come up with? My advise to Christians is to ignore what is the past, and look to the future, always trusting in the Lord Jesus Christ, who has brought us from darkness to light; from sinfulness to righteousness in and through his sacrifice on the Cross. "Whoever believes that Jesus is the Christ is born of God, and whoever loves the Father loves the child of him. By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God and observe His Commandments. For this is the love of God that we keep His commandments; and His commandments are not burdensome, For whoever is born of God overcomes the world; and this is the victory that has overcomw the world-our faith." (1 John 5:1-5) Let me add that overcoming the world is overcoming sinfulness. Let my enemies continue spreading lies and villification to the extreme; I will not react in a hateful way like they do, no matter what they might say or do. I pray that they eventually will come to realize that being judgemental and hatefull will have it's rewards in a way that is far from pleasant. I pray that someday they too will find Christ, and be delivered from the burdens of sin. As for me I will continue in my ministry of spreading the true Gospel of the Water and the Spirit! (John 3:5). God Bless each and everyone in Christ Jesus! Sincerely in Christ, - Rev. Daniel N. Dhaene Sr. Dear Friends,

It is always easy to share our feeling through a poem. When a thought is expressed in a poem, it can be felt. It is like music, I guess. I hope you continue your blog. Thanks, Hi, nice!

I will once again submit a poem that you may treasure and thereby remember me when I should pass away. I said; Let me walk in the fields, He said, No, walk in the town. I said, There are no flowers there, He said, No flowers, but a crown, I said, But the skies are black; There is nothing but noise and din. And He wept as He sent me back; There is more, He said, there is sin. I said, But the air is thick, And fogs are veiling the sun. He answered, Yet souls are sick, And souls in the dark, undone. I said, I shall miss the light; And friends will miss me, they say. He answered, Choose to-night If I am to miss you, or they. I pleaded for time to be given. He said, Is it hard to decide? It will not be hard in heaven To have followed the steps of your Guide. Then into His hand went mine; And into my heart came He; And I walk in a light divine The path I had feared to see. 1976 was the year that drastic changes happened in my life; from a sinner into the light that shines ever so brightly, walking with the Lord Jesus Christ. It has never been popular to be a followe of the Lord Jesus Christ, and it never will be! Walk with the Lord from sunset to sunset- Always.

I will once again submit a poem that you may treasure and thereby remember me when I should pass away.
I said; Let me walk in the fields,
He said, No, walk in the town.
I said, There are no flowers there,
He said, No flowers, but a crown,
I said, But the skies are black;
There is nothing but noise and din.
And He wept as He sent me back;
There is more, He said, there is sin.
I said, But the air is thick,
And fogs are veiling the sun.
He answered, Yet souls are sick,
And souls in the dark, undone.
I said, I shall miss the light;
And friends will miss me, they say.
He answered, Choose to-night
If I am to miss you, or they.
I pleaded for time to be given.
He said, Is it hard to decide?
It will not be hard in heaven
To have followed the steps of your Guide.
Then into His hand went mine;
And into my heart came He;
And I walk in a light divine
The path I had feared to see.

1976 was the year that drastic changes happened in my life; from a sinner into the light that shines ever so brightly, walking with the Lord Jesus Christ. It has never been popular to be a followe of the Lord Jesus Christ, and it never will be! Walk with the Lord from sunset to sunset- Always.
