Jesus prayed for the Church to be one,
Just as He and His most holy Father are,
Yet tragically as I begin to look around,
I cannot help but see we’ve drifted so far.
Apostle Paul also advised God’s Church,
To speak with one mouth and one mind,
But that old Satan had his wicked plans,
And sent in divisive, argumentative kind.
Yes, how he started sifting the brethren,
Using legalism as his weapon of choice,
And within a matter of a few short years,
Brethren no longer spoke with one voice.
Man worship then invaded God’s flocks,
And strange doctrines began to abound,
What had been a united, powerful body,
No longer stood on solid, unified ground.
Many centuries have passed since then,
And this division has only grown worse,
It so saddens me to see how Christians,
Now destroy each other verse by verse.
Yes, we’ve been sifted & have so drifted,
We’re no longer the Church Jesus found,
If the Lord were to visit our current time,
Do you think He’d want to stick around?
Certain Christians claim Earth is flat,
I am sorry, but I simply cannot agree,
Though their doctrine is quite wrong,
Yet they unwisely defend it furiously.
Being misguided about some verses,
I can honestly state I do understand,
But the way they belittle our brethren,
Has sadly gotten totally out of hand.
Such mean-spiritedness shocks me,
It is just not the true way of the Lord,
They condemn and attack opposers,
As they hack away with their sword.
You see, even if their belief were right,
Yet those Flat Earthers remain wrong,
Because their attitude is despicable,
It would be better if we just got along.
So I have heard you have this idea,
Being a great preacher of the Lord,
You see yourself before a big crowd,
Raising high your Christian sword.
Your heart is so filled with emotion,
Seeing how your words they admire,
But I have to ask you a big question,
Is that really the Lord’s true desire?
Now wanting to serve Jesus Christ,
Is truly a very noble vision indeed,
But you also need to be so careful,
That your own ego it does not feed.
When the Lord spoke of greatness,
He stated it was to be servant of all,
It’s not seeking our own recognition,
But serving with humility God’s call.
If you just desire the praise of men,
While before a big crowd you stand,
Your motive for preaching is wrong,
It is important that you understand.
So just make Jesus front and center,
Because He alone is God’s true Light,
And if you follow this my suggestion,
Then all your preaching will be right.
Shrewd politicians have a special knack,
For saying something but nothing at all,
Yeah, they will simply ramble on and on,
But it’s as if they have run into some wall.
You will listen very closely to their speech,
Trying your very best to figure them out,
But quite frankly when they have finished,
You are still wondering what it was about.
It certainly seemed great for a sound bite,
As they rattled off their various thoughts,
Yet despite all of their interesting talking,
Your confused brain is still tied up in knots.
But then as you decide to take more time,
To more clearly decipher what they said,
You suddenly arrive at the firm realization,
They were really messing with your head.
No, they did not actually give information,
Or tell you the positions where they stood,
They just so slyly kept stringing you along,
So you still question what’s under the hood.
So where do YOU stand, partner? If you don’t like any of the available NORMAL options, please feel free to add your own in the comments section. Play nice!
There exist certain people who argue,
Indeed, for the sake of arguing alone,
It really does not matter which subject,
All they care about is picking a bone.
Oh be very careful how they goad you,
Don’t get caught up in their silly debate,
Regardless of what they do to annoy,
Don’t you ever dare swallow their bait.
Their primary goal is to cause division,
So God’s sheep fight some other sheep,
Thus the best way to avoid their trap,
Is by simply not making a single peep.
You need to ignore their taunts & jabs,
Even when you’re so tempted to reply,
And if you resist all of their needling,
That conversation will eventually die.
So this is a good way to handle foxes,
When they try to creep into your midst,
It is better to resolve problems nicely,
Rather than having to rely on your fist.
Now, if young men only marry men,
And if all women just marry women,
Plus if we all practice birth control,
It’s useless for any sperm swimmin’.
This amounts to population control,
Indeed, all across this entire nation,
You have destroyed the whole point,
Of each woman having an ovulation.
I hope you know what you’ve done,
It’s slow genocide on a national level,
Can you not see how stupid this is,
Quite frankly, it is really of the Devil.
Surely it seems like an evil scheme,
Devised by the sly people in control,
For if we see it as just our own idea,
Then we’ve played our assigned role.
Just like cattle that we keep in a pen,
It works to regulate our total number,
And thus by agreeing to these things,
We really could not be much dumber.
Now going back almost fifty years or so,
Karl said to never leave home without it,
As we fast forward to this present time,
We see few people ever seem to doubt it.
But it is no longer those traveler cheques,
You see, now it is something totally new,
If for some reason you forget this thing,
It could really leave you in a major stew.
It’s a device to be connected all the time,
Whether you eat, sleep, or are at work,
Many folks have their face so deep in it,
I worry without it they might go berserk.
But I must warn you of the sinister side,
Because you really have a right to know,
Buried deep within that device you love,
GPS let’s them know everywhere you go.
Indeed, it’s true that because of that tech,
They could know everything that you did,
After all, you are merely a pawn to them,
Who they track on the global Matrix grid.
Oh, how indeed it was such a clever plan,
To create a device that’s in high demand
Now our actions are so closely watched,
Their surveillance is clearly out of hand.
If we were to suddenly stop using them,
Imagine the chaos which would ensue,
People are so dependent on them now,
I dread they would not know what to do.
And thus we go about our daily affairs,
With our cell phones probably nearby,
Knowing full well there is an eye on us,
Yet we rarely stop & ever question why.
Just imagine the magnificent beauty,
When the Lord first created the Earth,
It was indeed such a wonderful sight,
All of God’s sons were filled with mirth.
Yes, it was so virgin, pure and verdant,
No, never touched by any human hand,
How I would have surely and truly loved,
To have lived in that very pleasant land.
Now of course in our own present time,
Some places still take our breath away,
Yet I must wonder if it can ever compare,
To the world born on that very first day.
No doubt Adam and Eve had to marvel,
As they took in such an awesome view,
Honestly, if you had been in their place,
Wouldn’t you have likewise done it too?
Yet today just look at what we are doing,
To this precious gift given from above,
We strip & pollute it with so many things,
And don’t treat it with kindness and love.
Poor stewards we have all certainly been,
We do not respect what our Father gave,
So there needs to be a great awakening,
For it’s past time that we begin to behave.
They have got you right where they want you,
Under their thumb is exactly where you are,
They made your life just so totally impossible,
That you were not able to even get very far.
Oh, yes, they applied their financial screws,
So it was either buy food or pay that last bill,
Now there is simply no breathing space left,
Your whole life is just one big struggle uphill.
Indeed, they were so very sneaky about this,
As they gradually took all your support away,
But you see now you are dependent on them,
And must do exactly what the schemers say.
Because if you should ever try to defy them,
They’re the ones who are holding a full hand,
Meanwhile they’ve made you so vulnerable,
So now, do you finally see and understand?
They gave you many wonderful programs,
That were supposedly to ease all your pain,
But the actual truth of this devious matter,
Is that it was just for their own political gain.
“And the LORD said unto Moses, Whosoever hath sinned against me, him will I blot out of my book. Therefore now go, lead the people unto the place of which I have spoken unto thee: behold, mine Angel shall go before thee: nevertheless in the day when I visit I will visit their sin upon them. And the LORD plagued the people, because they made the calf, which Aaron made.” Exodus 32:33-35, KJV
“Therefore thus saith the LORD God of Israel against the pastors that feed my people; Ye have scattered my flock, and driven them away, and have not visited them: behold, I will visit upon you the evil of your doings, saith the LORD.” Jeremiah 23:2, KJV
“For thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Let not your prophets and your diviners, that be in the midst of you, deceive you, neither hearken to your dreams which ye cause to be dreamed. For they prophesy falsely unto you in my name: I have not sent them, saith the LORD. For thus saith the LORD, That after seventy years be accomplished at Babylon I will visit you, and perform my good word toward you, in causing you to return to this place.” Jeremiah 29:8-10, KJV
“Flee ye, turn back, dwell deep, O inhabitants of Dedan; for I will bring the calamity of Esau upon him, the time that I will visit him.” Jeremiah 49:8, KJV
“Behold, I am against thee, O thou most proud, saith the Lord GOD of hosts: for thy day is come, the time that I will visit thee. And the most proud shall stumble and fall, and none shall raise him up: and I will kindle a fire in his cities, and it shall devour all round about him.” Jeremiah 50:31-32, KJV
“And now will I discover her lewdness in the sight of her lovers, and none shall deliver her out of mine hand. I will also cause all her mirth to cease, her feast days, her new moons, and her sabbaths, and all her solemn feasts. And I will destroy her vines and her fig trees, whereof she hath said, These are my rewards that my lovers have given me: and I will make them a forest, and the beasts of the field shall eat them. And I will visit upon her the days of Baalim, wherein she burned incense to them, and she decked herself with her earrings and her jewels, and she went after her lovers, and forgat me, saith the LORD.” Hosea 2:10-13, KJV
Many of us have at different times,
Known the sad mistress loneliness,
One of her jobs which she does well,
Is to absolutely steal our happiness.
How we fall into such a dismal state,
Just happens for so many a reason,
But one thing which we surely know,
Is that it is never a pleasant season.
We stop and think how many people,
Have a spouse, family, friends or pets,
But as for us we’ve got none of these,
And it can fill our hearts with regrets.
Perhaps we made a mistake before,
That led to our current sad situation.
Oh, yes, we are feeling so miserable,
There’s just no time for any jubilation.
But rather than place our eyes on us,
We require a different kind of solution,
It might begin with a very simple step,
That is, to offer ourselves absolution.
Now if we made some personal error,
We cannot remain trapped in the past,
For if we stay and don’t move forward,
This loneliness is guaranteed to last.
So lift your eyes up towards the Lord,
You really need to stop looking down,
Because if you do, I know for certain,
You will no longer be wearing a frown.
Now instead of thinking about yourself,
Find somebody else who has a need,
Then do your best to help them out,
And they will become a friend indeed.
Just like that your loneliness is gone,
A new friendship has now taken root,
As you can see it was not really hard,
To give that old mistress a final boot.
Throughout the Bible’s long history,
Alone holy Prophets seemed to be,
Yet they had a constant companion,
Which the world simply couldn’t see.
Wandering over mountains and hills,
Preaching in cities against deep sin,
They’d often encounter the darkness,
Yet God’s light burned bright within.
They were known as solitary figures,
Sometimes there was a need to hide,
Though people turned against them,
The Lord remained a continual guide.
Well today it really is not so different,
For God’s folks who spread the Word,
Even if you’ve never really met them,
Their message you have surely heard.
Often they work alone in their rooms,
Writing out a truth God has revealed,
Beyond the loud noises of this world,
By God’s Spirit they’ve been sealed.
So if you count yourself among them,
May God bless you in all that you do,
If you remain faithful for all your days,
He’ll reward you when your life is thru.
