Times Are Changing

As the years go by and things begin to change…its time for us to step up and get ready 
to take over the reigns.  Our parents as the baby boomers did their part.  They 
sacrificed, they cried, they died, to make life easier for us, its time for generation X 
to stand up and continue on with the march.  

Black, White, and every race, its all the same, were loosing out at life, and were not 
even playing a game.  
The way things are going, as I see through my eyes, we are worse off than before and we 
are telling ourselves lies.  We’re denying the fact that things are bad, the world is in 
a devastating situation and it’s getting to the point where it’s sad.  Even Christians 
fill their mind and body with the worldly things; we need to rinse it all away with 
Godly Listerine. 

Television, radio, movies, its corrupting our souls and our minds, we need something 
different, we need to be more Christ-like, we need something Divine.  Were looking for 
role-models, were not going to find them on TV, lets face the facts, lets get back to 
the basics, lets follow JC.

The headlines might read, "Another one died today" the captions might just say, “She 
killed her baby son".  What are we doing as Christians you see, we're loosing souls to a 
fiery eternity.  Have you done your job today, or did another soul just slip past your 
way?

There's mothers against daughters, fathers against sons, wives against husbands, will 
this madness ever be done?

We need to find a solution; we need to find an outcome, were in a race against time, but 
are we on the run?  There's something we can do, there's always a way, lets come 
together as Christians, lets come together as a human race.  Lets follow God and His 
mercy, and His amazing grace, let’s look deep into our souls...not just face to face.

So don’t follow the crowd, stay close to the Word, give God all the glory, the glory He 
deserves.  Stay on the road that's narrow, not the one as wide as the sea, the small 
road might be lonely, but it leads to a life in eternity!  Just follow your heart, keep 
with what is true, if everyone else goes to hell, well where does that leave you?  We 
need to turn to the Lord and keep our eyes on the prize; stay focused on Him and let Him 
be our ultimate guide.
