Snared

There was an “old religion” that our father’s fathers were led by. There was plenty of good leadership, male and female. Houses of worship were not concerned with marketing strategy, and had little use for slick professionalism– but there was no missing The Voice of God!

Prophets still exist, but many of the old-timers shake their heads over what we’ve gotten ourselves into these days. I think I might how born in the wrong generation

It is little wonder that when the King of Kings returns, He shall be hoping. He shall be looking to see if there is faith left on the earth. God Bless You.

Snared belongs to the following groups:

Living Christianity

Doubt is a snare deemed sacred by it’s victim.
It lingers in dormancy, like a recessive germ,
until that first choice is made.
–Safety over Sanctity.

Heart and mind have conferred and agreed.
The sentence of death to deity, is joyfully handed down.
The one snared is carried for years by the parasite,
until finally, faith is dissolved to disillusion.

Any competent counselor lends his cool understanding.
After all, it seems to the snared the most sensible choice.
One sees one’s own mother wither away,
and wish for themselves a better fate.

Selah

doctor’s memo–
“Hearing same bothersome, fluttering sound,
above right tympanum.
Am I hearing voices? –Physician, Heal thyself!
Truth be told, I have been meaning to get my inner ear checked–”.

Selah

How does one lose his way in the light?
How is so great a mercy weakened?
It was shelved by those it strengthened.
Today’s holy men are repelled by mystery.
Avoiding the potential for peril, they mythologize The Prophet.

“That was for then. Now is for now.
We have it covered.
There has been much thought–
and much more thought given.”

Selah

A cleaner hearing is what is needed,
as in times past, simpler days.
They were a gift in secret.
How we then prospered!
