The Famine Behold a famine cometh When the end of days is near But not for food and water For the Word of God you hear He said I'll send a famine It's not of the bread you eat Hunger for the Bread of Life So your soul can be complete For I will send a famine Not the water from the well But for the Living Waters That can steer your soul from Hell This is the apostacy Famine of falling away From hearing the Word of God And living it every day Amos 8:11 <*\\\>< Our background and circumstances may have influenced who we are, but we are responsible for who we become. |

Rebecca; This is so wonderful! "hearing the Word of God, and living it every day". You are so right, it is the worst kind of hunger. This is beautifully written, Beck, and inspiring for us all. Thank you! Ellie 02 |

Amen Rebecca - Sounds like an unperfectly balanced diet to me. This is a simply beautifully written taste of the hunger we feel when He's left out. Bonnie [This message has been edited by BSC (edited 05-03-2000).] |

That is the worst famine of all, I'd say. Powerful writing, Rebecca. Very good! Denise |

Very insightful! Makes me think of the communist countries where church buildings have been closed and worship forbidden as well as bibles or any form of them. We are blessed to have the freedom we do, and so few really take advantage of it. Thank you. |

Thank you to each of you! I have to say this is the famine of the end times. I've stretched it a bit, but it's taken from Amos 8:11....a famine shall come, not a famine of bread and water, but a famine for hearing the word of God. It's gonna happen, and it is already. |

I love how you took the scripture and put it into a beautiful, expressive poem! Well done. God bless you! ``Some have learnt many Tricks of sly Evasion, Instead of Truth they use Equivocation, And eke it out with mental Reservation, Which is to good Men an Abomination. '' - Benjamin Franklin |
