My friend, how can somebody be so wrong and profess to be so right?
How can someone belong to The Morning Star and live as in the night?
When born from The Spirit above we gain The Lord's wisdom and sight.
But many, who profess His name, live like they never saw His light.

People who are filled with pride are simply wise in their own eyes,
And instead of moving ahead, their pride will be their own demise.
For The God of all Creation is not fooled by their deceitful guise.
And The Lord Himself will one day frustrate the wisdom of the wise.

Approach God with humility and you become spiritually discerning,
But pride hinders them from the Truth although they keep learning.
He's coming for His own and the wise are filled with this yearning,
But all who are wise in their own eyes will be in Eternity burning.

Christians become opposed to the world as they become God filled,
And proud men remain opposed to the Gospel for they are self willed.
It was pride at the cross that caused the Lord's Blood to be spilled,
But they are no task for God and like brute beasts shall be killed.

For these men pride is the leading cause to why and how they behaved,
Proud they have a heart hardened to God and a mind that's depraved.
Therefore they refuse to acknowledge God and by sin become enslaved,
So they perish refusing to embrace God's Truth and by Jesus be saved.

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

I enjoyed this much, Bob.

The way you played that twist of authority's judgement was shrewd and really drove the point home.

Much enjoyed.

(psst...if you are not adverse to the idea, I would love to discuss this one further? Blush. Can't seem to remember a reference...)

Either way? I enjoyed. Thank you.

(big hugggsssssss) Oh Bob, this is so very sad but true, dearest friend, sadly no one seems to understand God nowadays as closely as the apostles of before, with so many hypocrites and liars, and I know there is still much I don't understand about Him, but at least I acknowledge my imperfections and that is the least I can do for Him so He can see I am honest! (sad sigh) I pray for everyone and hope pride can be conquered and out of it penitence can be sought for, 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
