Sinners we all are
No matter the position we hold in life,
Sinners we all are.
Every Commandment broken again and again
Perfection seems an unreachable star.
The Commands of our Father given to us in Love
Are taken so very lightly in every way
Many have stopped trying to reach that star
Please know that judgment is not far away!!!
Defensiveness and denial are all around
It seems people no longer want to learn
They hold onto their own traditions and beliefs
Are they pleasing God? They do not concern.
Deuteronomy (New King James Version)
5:6I am the Lord your God
5:7You shall have no other Gods before me
Have you ever put everything on hold
For a better position or more money was all you wanted to obtain?
Have you turned your back on someone who was really in need
Because from your bank account you wanted to refrain?
These are just a couple of ways of idolatry
We break that first Commandment out of greed
For if we are to believe our Father
He will give us all we will ever need.
Deuteronomy (New King James Version)
5:8 You shall not make for yourself a carved image any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth:
Means no worshipping graven images representing other gods
Invisible forces that one cannot readily observe are currently at hand
Celebrating christmas - decorating trees - to name only two
Are breaking this commandment until we make a stand.
All aspects of christmas - were born from pagan religions
A doctrine adopted by the Christian man
God tells us to touch not the unclean thing
Yet deceptions in traditions are not removed from our hand
Deuteronomy (New King James Version)
5:11You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain
Have you ever been so angry and mad?
You just wanted to scream and yell?
Have you ever sworn on the Bible or God?
This is all, you know, punishable in hell.
Our Father and Jesus should never leave our midst
Live with them in joy, prayer and pain
Watch all that comes out of your mouth
And Never Ever take the Lords name in vain!!!
Deuteronomy (New King James Version)
5:12Observe the Sabbath day, to keep it holy, as the Lord your God commanded you
No one takes the time to learn the truth
But again holds onto traditions of the past
Man not God - made Sunday the Sabbath
But people today hold onto their traditions fast.
The Sabbath begins each Friday night
At sunset it starts to begin
The Sabbath ends on Saturday night
Sunday morning another week we begin.
Everyone everywhere it seems
On Saturdays - off to the market they go
They buy they sell they trade and such
But rest and relaxation they do not seem to know?
We are not to work and toil
Cleaning and such should be put on hold
Chores Jobs and all the like
Place all on the back burner as we have been told
God gave us this day to rest and rejoice
Thanking him for our blessings galore
To aid those less fortunate
To worship Him forever more!!!!
Deuteronomy (New King James Version)
5:16Honor your father and your mother.
Every time you have disobeyed your parents
Dishonor can easily be found
Every time you have lied - or money you have stolen
Honor is no where anywhere to be found
Every disrespectful word out of your mouth
Every time you have griped and complained
Infancy to adulthood all negative actions count
This commandment today - broken and stained.
Deuteronomy (New King James Version)
5:17You shall not commit murder
How many times have you wished someone dead?
Or hated someone with all your might
Did you know in the eyes of God?
Murder youve committed in His sight
Be careful of the thoughts you have
For all of them our Father can see
Rebuke them aloud in the name of Jesus
Pray for forgiveness and Gods mercy
Deuteronomy (New King James Version)
5:18You shall not commit adultery
Just like murder mentioned above
Lustful thoughts will condemn you in the same way
For every time you have desired another
This path has led you astray
To your spouse always be loyal and true
For your marriage by God is blessed
Beware of all lustful thoughts fantasies and the like
Again so many of us have failed this test.
Deuteronomy (New King James Version)
5:19You shall not steal
How many office supplies from work are in your home?
How many hours at work using the computer do you play a game
How many newspapers did you grab from the stand?
Another commandment from which we refrain
Deuteronomy (New King James Version)
5:20You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor
How often have we been so angered?
Revenge we have sought and desired
We fabricate lies or enhance the truth
Revenge against our neighbor inspired
How often have we been in the wrong?
But when re-telling we leave that part out
How many times have you falsely accused others?
You lie because arrogantly you think you have clout
Deuteronomy (New King James Version)
5:21You shall not covet your neighbors wife; and you shall not desire your neighbor's house, his field,.or anything that is your neighbors.
Has any friend bought a brand new anything?
And envy and jealousy walked within you hand in hand?
You wanted so badly what others have
Unfairness to me was your final stand
Your best friend just got breast enhancement
Now you want new boobies too
Your neighbors just came home from a 10-day cruise
Plans for next years vacation begin to stew.
As you can see It is easily done
Many times we never even think twice
We sin and we sin and we sin again
Never ever thinking about the price
Many have planned for retirement
Put back for those golden years
They never give thought to their eternity
Will it be joyous or will it be full of fears
As Christians we have to take a stand
We have to spread the joyous news
Jesus Christ is coming soon
Heaven or hell Which will you choose?
There is no in between
Riding that fence of doubt will lead to hell
Repent my brothers and sisters
Christ is coming and the world we must tell!!!!
Now speaking to all professing Christians
Do not be lukewarm to God in your heart
Are you seeking for truth and knowledge?
From all your evil ways will you part?
Today as a Christian I admit I have sinned.
But Jesus knows my heart
He knows that I am trying my very best
Having faith in Jesus Now I am off to a great start!!!
Be careful to what you think
Be careful what you do
Be careful in all you say
Because God is watching you
He will rewrite your heart and soul
He will change you from within
To be living with Christ everyday
Is the very best way to each of your days begin.
Once you do some homework
Investigate all of this on your own
I hope it finds Christ inside your heart
Because your worldly body is just a loan.
Sinning can not be taken lightly
Jesus is not a card to get out of jail free
We must continuously strive to please him
I live in Jesus and Jesus lives in me!!!

I/'/m not religious, don/'/t believe in a god, but, your observations on our lives and on living are pertinent and run the gamut of a lifetime with faith. My faith in /'/mans/'/ nature, not religion, is not yours but I admire
your presentation on a controversial subject.
