Mathematics! 1 Cross + 3 Nails = 4 Given, <br />So, what is the total sum your life has been liven? <br />Do you add and multiply only the Christian good? <br />Dividing or subtracting wrongs to the brotherhood? <br /> <br />A pastor, reverend and I eat lunch at Applebee’s, <br />We invited a server to church, she said, “Please! ” <br />On Sunday’s we get lots of the after church crowd, <br />They are rude, nasty, seldom tip and extremely loud. <br /> <br />Wow! Is it any wonder many people refuse to attend, <br />Plus friction among the congregation that lies within, <br />When I’m already in a state of confusion fueled by hurt, <br />Why leave the comforts of home to receive it in church? <br /> <br />Upon asking there’s an integral part most seem to forget, <br />Without forgiving, scripture assures you won’t receive it, <br />No matter how great the need and sincerity of the prayer, <br />Neither can selfish or lustful desires allow you to get there. <br /> <br />Stop and just image for a few brief moments if you will, <br />God loved Jesus too much not allowing Him to be killed, <br />If the Almighty kept a record of everything we did wrong, <br />Would His judgment list for you be way short or too long? <br /> <br />Well! Whom would you worship & whom could we praise? <br />Where else can anyone find answers seeking brighter days? <br />What if hell breaks loose, as the good is no longer the same? <br />How about not ending our prayer request, “in Jesus name? ” <br /> <br />The bible is very clear and there is simply no maybe or if, <br />It’s not about any of our good works but the Kingdom’s gift, <br />Hey fool! Why take even the slightest chance of loosing out? <br />It only takes two words, “I’m sorry” spoken from your mouth. <br /> <br />w/Jeff Ricky Cheeks & Rev.
