Talk about faith ... satire
Romans 13:9
9 For the commandments, “You shall not commit adultery,” “You shall not murder,” “You shall not steal,” “You shall not bear false witness,”
“You shall not covet,” and if there is any other commandment, are all summed up in this saying, namely, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.”
We smile at assurance in our search for a fortune
We talk about faith a lot like it can be purchased
We scoff at endurance when we miss a portion
as our chosen base is crumbling as we nurse it
Children of depravity acting like we’re holy
Covering our filth with garments bought on credit
Losing our sanity in our travels to oppose
God’s will for our lives by developing good habits
Jan Wienen
