When Christ started The Church He made things quite simple and clear,
However many are following Religious Leaders into ambiguity I fear.

Christ came to give us freedom through the Cross-of Salvation,
However many are following Religious Leaders on roads of damnation.

Christ told the early disciples of only one road in which to follow,
But today Religious Leaders try to make His words vain and hollow.

The only road is a narrow one, and you enter through a narrow gate,
This Truth is despised by Religious Leaders, who proclaim it is hate.

While very few find this road that leads to the only Resurrection,
A broader road is being paved by Religious Leaders to destruction.

It’s easy to get on this road through a wide gate and many are on it,
Being lead by Religious Leaders who Christ warned are false prophets.

They come to you in sheep’s clothing and appear to be pure and good,
But inwardly these Religious Leaders are darkened ferocious wolves.

In the end many will abandon the faith to follow hypocritical liars,
Lead by Religious Leaders with morals that were seared with an iron.

When you stand before The Lord, it’s only His words you will hear,
You can follow these Religious Leaders or The Lord with Holy Fear.

Will He say “Away from me” as you chose to be wicked and irreverent?
Or will you hear Him say, “Well done My fine and faithful servant”?

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

Well let's hope it's the latter of the two, but I also think he sees our weakenesses, and does *NOT* condemn when we fall. That's not my wiew of the *loving* God I grew to know, and love. My choice was just as free will as anothers. He's a loving Father. I don't understand this completely. The Word says he does judge, but that not until many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many countless number of years trying to love, and reach us first. He is VERY long-suffering with us. It breaks his heart to have to feel his creation will not turn to Him. He's not there with anvil, and hammer to crush us. I think it's that I don't see God the Father in this way at all. Thanks for your viewpoint though, because all thoughts other than our own are ones that make us think, and take stock in what we are doing, or thinking in our life.

(big hugggssssssss) I also hope it is the latter, but all the same He has long been saddened to see many turn their shoulders on Him and as religious leaders become hypocrites and abridge or falsely explain the teachings the books carry, He certainly may have to smite them all with judgement! (sad sigh) He is the Father, and we all must rely on Him as He heads our family, God Bless You, 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,
