“Guard with jealous attention the public liberty. Suspect every one who approaches that jewel. Unfortunately, nothing will preserve it but downright force. Whenever you give up that force, you are inevitably ruined.” – Patrick Henry (1788)
Galatian Credibility
by Michael Doyle
In our leadership and our ability
To lead is limited to our credibility
This is something important to know
If we are are to keep our ability to grow
Called to lead in our capacity
Called to display this sensibility
Integrity is the all of our everything
Competent to teach or less than nothing
Courage is needed in our seasons
To apply in our lives in its full reason
Competent in our compassion and empathy
It stretches beyond inspired sympathy
Instead taking commitment, dedicated to inspire
And to lead by example that will never tire
As fathers, it is we who much lead
But it is for all to live in purpose and deed
As a church, we join together as we pray
And ensure our deeds match what we say
As ambassadors to what it is that Heaven sends
Like missionaries of love, family, and as friends
Bringing heaven to earth takes credibility
There are things to be done to best of ability
By living our faith and doing our very best
We live prepared for life's every test
In Galatians, we turn again to our very roots
To see how each lesson teaches and contributes
In facing all obstacles that come our way
And then disappear before the Lord as we live every day
There are no second rate apostles, the Bible teaches
The lessons needed and remaining within our reaches
There is no reason to hold ourselves back
God will provide the words that we might lack
Turning our eyes toward the Lord's good ways
Committed to read the good book applied in in our days
These things will help us to learn and understand
And then do these things our God commands

Be the Answer
by Michael Doyle
The pain felt
In waves dealt
As the will to live
Begins as you forgive
Pushing off from the edge
Normalcy over the ledge
Living life of full intention
While paying right attention
In waves of positive affirmation
That serve as confirmation
Living by the seat of the soul
Abundance has taken its control
Be the living bridge
Like a wise person standing on the ridge
Each of us in our contribution
Live as part of one solution
Being a community is to help the other
Living in service to one another
You can begin with an open heart
And never let that love depart

“For the time will come when people will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear. They will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths.” – Paul (2 Timothy 4:3-4)
