"cards On The Table"

An Original Work / December 12, 2018

As scriptures teach,
I don’t believe
There is a pre-trib rapture.

From what I read,
I do perceive
That we’ll go all together.

For Jesus said
We would be there
To see the tribulation.

And some of us
They’ll put to death,
But we have our salvation.

But don’t be sad,
For it’s not bad
To suffer for our Savior.

For we will walk
The streets of gold,
And His we’ll be forever!

As scriptures teach,
I don’t believe
That we should worship Santa.

For, false he is,
And yet he lives
Within the hearts of many.

His makers, they
Have made him God;
His attributes have plenty.

But, Jesus Christ,
They minimize,
And He is barely mentioned.

The worldliness
That’s part of all
There is at Christmastime

Is not of God,
Not what He wants
In way of celebration.

As scriptures teach,
I don’t believe,
That we should pledge allegiance

To anyone but Jesus Christ
The God of our salvation.

Our loyalty
To Him alone,
And never to the nations

Is what He wants
Of those who’re His,
Who sing His jubilation.

No compromise
Of truth be told
From our lips or our lives;

No partnerships
With those not His.
No unity with lies.

As scriptures teach,
I do believe,
That we should follow Jesus,

And give Him all
Our heart and soul,
And live for HIM forever.
