THE LIES THAT BIND
Many people say they love
The Bible, but they look
At only red gold edges,
And ne'er open The Book.
They'd rather someone tell them things ---
Good stories are inside.
They'd rather not be told about
The sins of lust and pride.
And if we choose to read God's Word,
We'll surely come to know
That what's inside those pages
Will help us live and grow.
Why be one who is lazy,
Or maybe lose our zeal?
Why tie to smiling preachers,
Whose soft soap isn't real?
Sure, much is in the Bible
About God's love and grace.
But all things have a shadow,
Some evil we must face.
The devil has his army,
And some don't realize
That many in that army
Are friends who tell us lies.
The Bible can be understood.
Yet many are spiritually blind.
They rather hear false teachers
Who tell them lies that bind.

About Me
- Netagene
- I am a member of the church of Christ. I have been writing things since I was little. Some have been printed, some posted. I write to teach or encourage; to blow off steam; and for fun! I had my own motorcycle in my 40s; I was a bluegrass music DJ for about 13 years; I've performed some. I am a member of the NRA. In 2003 (age 59), I became high partial legally blind; in 2005, I had to get hearing aids! Franklin Field said: "Poor eyes limit your sight; poor vision limits your deeds". And no kidding, the picture was made April, 2012!
