Ephesians 5:13 

13 But all things that are exposed are made manifest by the light,

for whatever makes manifest is light.

 

Hebrews 4:12 

12 For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged

sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow,

and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

 

 

The pathway of feeling bids us to neglect duty.

The path of faith calls us not to neglect the same.

The easiest way to fall by the wayside

Is to compromise on one ... and treat it like a game.

 

Emotional Christians are weak under attack

Powerless and helpless ... when their feelings are at steak.

Evil can touch each facet with fallen intentions

Constantly hammering ... never taking a break.

 

When the pounding lets up ... they think to be delivered

And then through same emotion ... they do praise the Lord.

As the evil one smiles ... and waits for another moment

To destroy their witness ... for they are easy prey.

 

By faith the inner man remains untouched.

There is a clear division between spirit and soul.

The soul gathers ... and lays things up for itself

And the spirit simply moves ... for God’s Glory and Goal.
