Poetry by Sean Morris (Elder)
"Will You Perish, Yet You Call Jesus Lord?"
Matthew 7:21-27
"Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, Lord,Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity. Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock: And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock. And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand: And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it."
“Lord, Lord, I am sorry I got caught, I am sorry my deeds are wrong,
But Jesus’ atonement is my Sunday song and to him I know I do belong.”
NO! Repent, for regeneration the Son of God was sent!
Such Sunday singers and tithe bringers,
Church members of all ages and genders,
Examine your fruits not your Sunday suits.
At the altar you plead, the bible you daily read,
And you thank God for food and shelter – but do you know your need?
Jesus purchased sinners and pronounced them freed,
Therefore obeying the Word of God is a Christian’s minute by minute deed!
This hour may be a cloudless sky, men may now have a sunny time, but judgment can come in a single hour. A sandy foundation renders the most protective, luxurious, and profitable house useless. Two men, like two houses, will be tried at Judgment Day. Both men hear the sayings of Jesus, but only one does them. This one characteristic separates the two men. Thus, whatever your faith or confession, though you abide under an illusion of safety, though you may think you will be sheltered from the storm of Judgment Day, if you do not obey the word of God ...you will perish.
False Christianity: Religion, Theology, or Doctrine that masks the hideous face of disobedience and makes acceptable what Jesus utterly condemned.
