A church that failed and no one even noticed ...

 

 

 

1Cor 6:9  Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: ……….

 

 

 

“Do not be deceived. God is Pure and Holy. 

 

The unrighteous will not inherit the Kingdom of God. 

 

Justified and sanctified, cleansed by the Blood, 

 

how can you dwell in sin and conscience warns you not?”

 

 

 

Warnings come and go ... but who teaches to listen?

 

The sources used by Jesus ... spring up all around me.

 

Why can’t I simply see ... the flags around me waving?

 

Why can’t I hear suggestions ... to the me I want to be?

 

 

 

Several years have gone by ... and still I touch failure.

 

Why did I not recognize ... the symptoms of it all?

 

It surely is amazing to have ... eyes that cannot see

 

and ears that cannot hear ... the confusion after all.

 

 

 

Everyone is gone now ... the good, the bad and ugly

 

I am left by myself ... with the memories of it all.

 

Misled by self, misled by all ... emptiness surrounds me.

 

I guess most of my life ... was interwoven in my fall.

 

 

 

Left alone with my thoughts ... questions keep on nagging.

 

‘Why did I not leave this mess ... long ago, yes long before?”

 

Everyone left this sinking ship ... why did I choose to stay 

 

to let myself die with it ... to later wash up on shore?

 

 

 

Will I go to the sea again ... well I really doubt it?

 

Too much of my confidence ... went down with the boat.

 

I won’t trust the captain ... the officers and the crew.

 

I rather sit now on land ... while others seem to float.
