The Bible

Since I began reading God's word I've come to a definite conclusion It doesn't matter what I've heard It puts and end to all confusion Everyone reads every now and then For current events or just a good story line Man has an insatiable appetite for sin And such an ignorance of the Divine The bible is mans handbook to godly living It states his beginning as well as his end Showing him blessings in the art of giving As well as the price paid for his sin It gives him a peace the world doesn't know Shows him life from a godly perspective Carries him places the flesh dare not go In serving God who's jealous and protective The bible shows man those things he's entitled to Placing power in his hands Man learns what he's assigned to do And how to follow God's commands It holds the answers to creation and death Along with sin and salvation How the soul was born from God's breath And the establishment of the Earth's foundation Let's us know what we must do to be saved By pointing to Jesus the human sacrifice It satisfies what the soul always craved As well as the methods Satan uses to entice The day when all isms are put to rest A reward for those who have not budged Though some set out in complete protest They set themselves up to be judged Read the bible for your own enrichment You can't hold others liable For God has a definite intent And all this is in the bible

I generally avoid holiday and/or religious poems. But for some reason I clicked on yours and I can only smile. This was a very clear, to the point, and accurate piece. I greatly enjoyed reading it Ronnie.

Completely correct, Ronnie - " For God has a definite intent." You said it... All the best my friend
