The Holy or Profane

Repeated smiles are genuinely vivid,
But the next day the face looks livid.
Many are pretentious religious converts.
Schools are replete with sexual perverts.
Wolves can hide in sheep’s clothing,
And Actors role can be very loathing.
What about those lying politicians:
Their like underhanded musicians.
Do you know that cheating students:
Are no better than biased pundits.
Who withstands a mean miscreant,
But God corrects the recalcitrant.
Has love for truth severely waned,
So why refuse Christ with disdain?
Come worship this King of Truth:
All ye that are decidedly uncouth.
Have a pure heart that’s Holy honed,
And build upon the Chief Cornerstone.
We can refuse the unholy and profane,
Only by trusting in Jesus’ spotless name.

Life’s Purpose

Everyone needs King Jesus,
For He is good and gracious.
But our sins have separated us,
Therefore, He must execute justice,
For we are all without excuses
We are all dead in our trespasses,
And His wrath abides upon us.
Death and Hell frustrate us.
He loathes our self-righteousness.
His Heart is most grievous,
But hope is for the futurist,
Who humbly accepts His holiness.
Who suffered and died in innocence.
Whose blood purchased our redemption,
He confirmed it by His resurrection.
Our Salvation is complete, by His ascension.
He sent the Holy Spirit for consolation,
That everyone may have reconciliation
When Christ sits in His Father’s Kingdom
Then Saints will reign in total freedom
All made possible by His incarnation.
Will you accept the King’s salvation?
