Poetry by Sean Morris (Elder)
"Religious Enmity and Kingdom Mystery"
There is an uncross-able chasm of difference,
An enmity which is immeasurably immense,
An unbridgeable canyon of width and breadth,
Between two natures of governance, inner life and death (Rom. 8:6-8).
The hands and feet of Jesus or the satanic savour of the things of men (Matt. 16:23),
One of these two will define your ethics, righteousness, and sin.
Carnality and Spirituality are the opposite of one another,
These create two religions that are an antithesis of each other.
Laws of morality that determine steps of obedience from an antagonistic locality.
No rest, union, and sympathy can be built in mingled intimacy (2 Cor. 6:14-7:1),
Constant contention and no rest will they ceaseless wrestle and stress.
O that a spiritual man would walk this road of Christ’s sufferings and distress,
To show the world the foolishness of God in a Kingdom of Nobility (1 Cor. 4:8-17),
A poor man in unceasing jeopardy (1 Cor. 15:30),
Because of beasts of wisdom growling their rich piety (1 Cor. 15:32).
Unbelief is utter blindness from the biblical bias,
It is poverty from the warfare of the Almighty,
It is surrender to satanic captivity.
O what wonder that all this is hidden (1 Cor. 2:7),
Even that the Kingdom is to children given,
Pleasing to God he makes the babe have sight (Matt. 11:25-27),
He takes the lowly contrite (Matt. 11:28-30),
And makes them scale the cities of Satan as a penetration of Light (Prov. 21:22).
