The World Versus The Word

By GDW

The World says man's greatest need 

Is Self-Actualization

"Be true to yourself

Follow your heart"

But Truth says "Deny yourself

And Come follow me"

The World says "follow your heart"

Truth says the heart is deceitful

Above all things

The World says if it feels good, do it

Truth says what you FEEL like doing, don't

The World says Me First

And Be the Master

Truth says Be Last

Be the server 

The World says from Monkeys we came

You can be any other sex or specie

If you can afford surgery

Truth says you are fearfully and wonderfully made

Made to be like me

An opposite thing I forbade

The World says you can marry your own sex

Forget that it's not natural and nothing fits, 

Or that its unproductive

Truth says a man shall to his wife cleave

What is together let no man put asunder

And what is separate let no man put together

The World hates Truth

Yet Truth loves the World

The World would kill the Truth

But the Truth already died 

Died for the World

And now lives again

The World says "there's no absolutely truth"

Can that be absolutely true? 

Truth says "I am THE Truth

I live again

And to Testify to the Truth I came

Who shall we believe?

As both scream "come follow me!"

The World screams powerfully 

But only Truth can set us free...

Dead World

Dead World

By GDW

What does Jenner and the Irish Gay Marriage Referendum tell us about the world?

and what of the celebrations of the transitions? 

Let's just say they are the epitome of blindness, confusion and lostness

The hallmark of this sinful world we live in

A world that ushers darkness on 

Darkness is "dawning"

While the light is drawing

A world that shuns the light of Truth  because it hates the heat that's produced

It's a numb world that celebrates perversity 

Calloused by the overuse of wickedness

Whereas before the dark receded as light approached

now light is strangled by cords of darkness

Whereas before right and wrong were set by highest order

Now there's not even a line to put asunder

Whereas before a moral compass gave us direction

now there's just one pin on the compass

Tuned not to true North, but wheresoever we say is "North"

Not just lost and struck with moral leprosy 

Worse than that

This World is Dead

Dead indeed

So dead we don't yet know it

What can dead people do

To make themselves less dead?

How can lepers feel again

When they don't even know the pain?

What can save us from this mysterious strife

I have no answer, save for one

For this dead world 

What we need is Resurrection and Life
