“Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it . . . He that is of God heareth God’s words: ye therefore hear them not, because ye are not of God.” John 8:44, 47, KJV

Say, did you hear the latest scoop?
No need to worry, it’s all just poop.
The news shovels that crap all day,
Peddling whatever they want to say.
Sensationalism always beats out facts,
Just watch the wolves grind their axe.
There’s an agenda, it’s plain to see,
Beware! They’ll leave you in misery.
Make a profit, and increase the view,
It does not matter if it’s not true.
Raking their victims through the mud,
They’re not happy till they draw blood.
Champions of justice? No, I think not,
What they publish is so full of rot.
So if you read it, please sift it well,
Don’t let them get you under their spell.
“Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard, that the everlasting God, the LORD, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is weary? there is no searching of his understanding. He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength. Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall: But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.” Isaiah 40:28-31, KJV

“And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ’s sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong.” 2 Corinthians 12:9-10, KJV

We all have quite often heard it said,
Believe in Jesus, to Heaven we’ll go,
But so many people still have doubts,
Why it’s necessary they want to know.
Well the answer’s really quite simple,
The basic issue comes down to our sin,
Due to a corrupt and imperfect status,
A righteous God simply can’t let us in.
Only by the Blood of a Lamb unblemished,
Could our imperfections be washed clean,
And thus Jesus sacrificed His own life,
He’s our Defense Attorney and Go-Between.
