Do We Want Man's Opinion Or God's Truth

Are We Looking For Man’s Opinion?   Or God’s Truth?

 I often watch the daily news.
And hear about different opinions
 and different views.

I can't help but to wonder
 when some complain.
That their opinion 
 isn’t being explained.

Many of the opinions shared,
 bring to me a concern...
When it comes to God's word.  
Many have their backs turned.

While often, they speak of 
tolerance in their living...
Only their opinion...
 Is what they’re giving.

If you disagree with them.  
You're called a "right winger."
While they march to the
 same drum beat and singer.

I don't mean to spread a picture 
of doom and gloom.
But a day of reckoning is 
coming very soon!

 God's word...  Which many ignore...
Will bring judgment, when God
comes knocking at your door.

What will "your view" be when
 God calls your name?
Will you come to him. 
 Or will you complain?

You'll be by yourself at 
God's judgment day.
When your name is called.  
What will you say?

God's view is: "My love for 
you will never end."
Allow his word to guide you!  
And to be your friend!
