Dear Slave Of Sin Come Enter In June 5, 2010

 

How has the domain of darkness

So disguised its self as light?

There you sit as in the shadows

And the chains of death but yet

The world says “this is life,

And yes what life is all about:

To sit in darkness as if light,

To raise your bound hands high

And shout your freedom,

For you are free to do as much

Of what you’re bound to as you like.”

 

They say that sin won’t really hurt you

It’s what you want; it’s what we all do,

And so you’ve drunken your full measure

But you’re empty though you’ve had some pleasure

It hasn’t quite felt worth the cost

Of sleepless nights and devastation

Heart-break and felt condemnation,

Once self assured now feeling lost

It hasn’t quite felt worth the cost.

I Serve An Emotional God and I Am His Emotional Follower May 14, 2010

God is an emotional God.  His book is an emotional  book.  Yet it would seem to me that there are many professing followers of Jesus Christ who seem to lack emotional responses to Him, to His word, to each other, and to sin in themselves and in the world.  Yet, I have also known those who can jump up and down in a worship service, and weep and wail whenever it seems appropriate, yet they live in unrepentant sin and have little understanding about the God of the Bible.
