Blood Shed

I have heard many a preacher say that Christ blood was spilled at the cross. This is not so! The Greek is more precise, and so should we be if we want to communicate God's purpose and redemptive plan. The Bible NEVER says Christ spilled his blood on Calvary. It ALWAYS uses the word "shed". 

"And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and blessed it, and brake it, and gave it to the disciples, and said, Take, eat; this is my body. And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, Drink ye all of it; For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins."

Dirty Job

 This is a four page story that appeared in the February 1972 issue of Army at War. It was written by the late, great Bob Haney. His masterpiece in comics writing was illustrated by the equally late, great Alex Toth, and subsequently reprinted numerous times, notably in The Best of DC treasury edition.

Double Cross

He's Mighty

Here is another song I wrote. This was written a few years after God graciously opened my eyes to His sovereign grace. Most of my songs had a strong rock beat to them. Since you don't know how it sounds, take my word, it had a melody as well.

This one is entitled, "He's Mighty"

He's the Soveriegn Savior of the whole universe

He's searchin' for His people who are under the curse

He'll save 'em, He'll keep 'em, He'll bring 'em on home

Smack dab into Heaven singin' 'round His holy throne

(chorus):

He's mighty - He's mighty - He's mighty

Mum mum mum mighty

One day a dead man was lyin' in a grave

Bad to the bone, stinkin' up the cave

Jesus came by and called out his name

And I'm here to tell you that I've never been the same 'cause

(chorus)

Three crosses on the hill in the heat of the day

One man turned to Jesus, the other turned away

Look at the center cross, bring it into view

Ask yourself this question: On which side are you?

(chorus)

Well He walked on the water, made the blind to see

Cast out many demons when He went to Galilee

Jesus is the answer, He's the One who should be seen

He's the Alpha and Omega and all letters in between

(chorus 3x)
