If I Sin With Good Intention

If I sin with good intention,
Will God forgive at half the price?
Will I receive half of heaven
Or hell for my warranted vice?

What if I stole to feed my kid?
Am I doomed to hot detention 
If I sin with good intention?
I sure hope not—heaven forbid! 

Would I live in heaven’s ghetto
If I sin with good intention,
Or would my hell be half as hot?
Oh wait, I forgot to mention,

What if I kill in self defense
Or take a half of temptation?
Would He not love me any less
If I sin with good intention?

Fleeing Tamptaion the Story of David and Bathsheba

There was a great king, 
whom did sin and fall.
David.  When from his balcony, 
Bathsheba he saw.

In his heart... he sinned as 
lust was conceived.
A plan of muder in his heart 
was soon received.

This sin led to another 
and had soon willed.
To have Bathsheba's 
husband to be killed.

The consequences of his sin
 was later explained.
His first born died, and his 
son Absalom was slain.

Once his sin was conceived, 
it brought lust and soon death.
Sin is always this way--
until you take your last breath.

Think of the consequences... 
and flee tempation FAST.
Enjoy a victory and blessings 
from God that will last!

The Cleverest Sin

The Cleverest Sin

.........................................................of them all is
Vanity

That mankind’s propensity
To take pleasure in
All the aspects of our creativity
Achievement and praise therein
For its own ingenuity

Can be and more often 
is
Classed
As 
Vanity

Clever church
Artful religion

In its conquest of out spiritual destiny

To accuse us at every turn
Of the Sin of Vanity

To accuse us
Of the Sin of Vanity



In all its pomp gold glittering ceremony

In all its wealth and horded money

In all its verbiage preached
To claim knowledge of
The works and mind of GOD

It, the church, has the sheer AUDACITY
To accuse US
Of VANITY

Dictatorial policies
A foot in the mouth
Of mankind’s GOD GIFTED divinity



………………………………………and we’ll forget about gluttony, greed and avarice; sloth, anger and pride. 
We’ll forget about those for awhile.
