I’m puttering my way through a project wherein I write poems inspired by each of the 90-some headings in JI Packer’s book, Concise Theology. Here are a couple of them from the middle of the pack—
Love
God is love—
Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.
What doth He desire most?
Return it.
Give this gift
to those who bear Image.
Our patrilineage
from above.
Hope
Help for our endurance race,
built upon the base of grace—
hope.
Not empty as man offers,
with this the wise fill coffers—
hope.
Look upon his former deeds,
let your forward gaze now feed—
hope.
