AND SUCH WERE SOME OF YOU

AND SUCH WERE SOME OF YOU

(1st Corinthians 6:8-20)

 

Easier to ignore God’s word,

Than to have one’s comfort disturbed…

Watch whatever you want

As long as one does not flaunt,

Portrayal of the evil served.

–

Christians will give an accounting

Of inner transgressions mounting…

Many don’t realize

That compromise

Is proof of not growing up soundly.

–

Once with Jesus we’re washed,

To go back to sin is a wash…

The natural mind

Is still inclined

To think of morals as pish-tosh.

–

For a spirit, once cleaned,*

But not occupied “ain’t” redeemed…

When allowing in

Similar sin,

Is ripe for being gleaned.

–

So, whom will you serve,

The world, in your private preserve?…

Or be set apart,

Fully give your heart

To God without reserve!

 

–Jonathan Caswell

*Luke 11:24-26
