Kay Cude poetry: Our Grace-ful Savior

I particularly enjoyed this piece from poet Kay Cude. I hope you enjoy it too. May it encourage you, strengthen you, or simply allow your thoughts to linger on the wonders and glories of our Savior.

Poetry by Kay Cude. Used with permission.

Death, Where is Thy Sting?

Let not this mortal coil reside, ‘neath the cold and dampen sod; unseeming though, it shall arise, and meet my Savior God.

Fo these mere bones the earth may hide, my countenance forget; I shun it all to be with Him, my sins His grace supplants.

When Men Step Aside and Women Step Ahead: A Biblical Reflection

By Elizabeth Prata

SYNOPSIS
I reflect on Jeremiah’s account of Israel’s idolatry, especially worship of the “Queen of Heaven,” noting how whole families participated. Drawing parallels to today, I warn that modern Christians similarly drift into false practices when men are passive and women exceed biblical roles, disrupting God’s intended balance.

The Hypocrisy of Hollow Obedience

By Elizabeth Prata

SYNOPSIS

In Jeremiah 34, King Zedekiah and the Israelites promise to free their servants, hoping to gain God’s favor during Babylon’s siege. Once danger lifts, they break their vow, re-enslaving them. This hypocrisy exposes false repentance. God condemns such deceit, reminding believers that vows to Him must be sincere and kept.
