The early Church filled with fear and reverence was set apart,
Thrust into the world to preach the Gospel with all their heart.

That early group being tiny in number and fearful of heart,
Were given a special boldness to help them with their start.

Although The Spirit filled them with this boldness at the start,
A very deep sense of Fear and Holiness played a major part.

But today in the Church we have accepted an unreasonable duplicity,
Where Holiness in our walk no longer appears to be a necessity.

This kind of thinking is truly foolishness, you can be assured,
For without a walk of Holiness, no man will see The Lord.

By walking down that narrow road, which is the only way deemed right,
That early group of Believers drew many out of darkness into Light.

Now as the Church Age is ending, we seemed to have lost our sight,
As many professing Believers appear to be walking in the night.

Although Salvation was a Gift from God, for Christ it came at cost,
And the debt He left us all to pay was His compassion for the lost.

Holiness is truly essential to guide the lost, as the end draws near,
However, the Church appears to have lost this essential godly fear.

Holiness however, is something that simply can not be ignored,
For without Holiness the Bible declares, no man will see The Lord.

He's coming very soon, the signs are very clear,
And when that trumpet sounds, we’ll be otta here!
Waiting in Him with Great Expectation,  Bob Gott

Thank you Bob...I am so glad you wrote this. You mentioned the time is coming near. I heard *all* have to have been told the gospel. This past weekend I was watching some christian programming, and I found out a very large part of Asia has never heard the gospel so end times may not be as close as we thought. What do you think about that? Just curious what you think, and what if anything you have heard about that? And as always thanks for sharing these words that echo Gods Word, and the truth it holds in it!!!!!!! He is worthy of all.

(tears fall down my cheeks) Without holiness...there's no cleanliness...simple as that! (sad sigh) Churches overall just aren't how they used to be and I only hope more dedicated individuals with true holiness can run each church in hope the night can be flooded with day! (big hugggsssssss) God Bless You, sweet friend, I too pray for light, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Bob, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton
