Silent Preacher

SILENT PREACHER

He got no god and not much faith
Not even a prayer even before he sleeps

Yet, he is good. He harms no one.
He feeds himself his daughter and his sons.

Without a mess, he does just to his business
To everyone he treat giving no headaches

Oh! how kind is he! He is a man
His is the heart who knows how to love

His arms wide open not choosing any one
He freely shares himself to many and one

He knows no verses , owns no Bible
Neither a prophet but readily speaks the truth

I wonder how, what makes a real man?
Is it his faith or is it himself?

Look at this man, he not a pastor nor a priest
But can you hear.... there's a preacher in his deeds.

Timothy Hicks Date: 1/5/2015 2:22:00 AM What a courageous take on a not-often-spoke-of topic! The Bible says that the law is written on the fleshy tables of the heart, and that you shall know the tree by its fruits. Were it a requirement for a man to own a Bible for salvation then many a good soul would be lost. It says to teach the gospel amongst all nations so as to spread the love of the truth... but I believe there are many that have this love in them already, if we are truly made in God's image. Excellent topic and splendid poem!

Paul Callus Date: 11/10/2014 8:44:00 AM Well done Olive_eloi!! It is through our actions and behavior that we prove our worthiness. Good people preach not just by word of mouth, but by the way they live. // :) paul Login to Reply Olive Eloisa Guillermo - Fraser Date: 11/10/2014 8:55:00 AM Nowadays, our world gets darker and darker. it's sad that at times, the wrong notions and practice bout religion is the cause of such.. but anyhow it is, indeed the greatest documentation of evaluation we can have about what we are hearing from any scriptures are our actions.. of how we had lived.. :)!
