Young Man, That Is Not Good Enough

Young man, that is not good enough, just not good enough; Seek the Lord; fulfill purpose, don’t just huff and puff. You looking all big and bad; but, inside you are very sad; Jesus’ joy will make you strong and extremely glad. No more, no more playing: dan-man, bad man, macho-man; Christ can see through you; you hurting, young man. Young man, young man it is time to seek God’s kingdom; Resist the enemy; salvation gives you complete freedom. It is not good enough, young man, that is not good enough; Listen carefully to this straight gaff; this is truth, no laugh. Surely, it is just not good enough to follow Gaza and Gully; They are detestable and degrading: complete and utter folly. Why you diss-ing and killing you friends and other men; When all they want is for you to line their pockets for them? Stop! Stop shedding blood; don’t you know what is the price? What will you say, young man; what will you tell Christ? Good enough!?! It is surely, not good enough young man; Why? Why? Why, all of the sex, **** and masturbation? Why, young man; why, have you not read the Holy Word? Young man, your body is the temple of the Living God. “Let these things not be named among you” is for every youth; Listen; then, carefully observe and obey; this biblical truth. Take care and be aware; there is a time and place for sex; It is better to marry than to burn; don’t get the deadly hex. You need to seek what is good enough, seek God’s truth; Remember, now, the Creator, in the days of your youth. Christ is always willing and able to save and to preserve; His grace is sufficient; though we don’t even deserve. Lift your head, prodigal, it’s time to return to the Father; To God the Father; all lost sheep, Jesus came to gather. Repent, young man, and Jesus will blot out every sin; Then, young man, then, against the enemy, you will win. By Dion Penville
