Stop and Think...don't brush this aside - 07-22-08, 05:34 AM

Thinking

Have you ever stopped to wonder
What this life is all about?
Why you're here and where you're going
When your lease on time runs out?
Maybe you've been far too busy
Trying hard to reach your goal
Would you let me ask you kindly
Have you thought about your soul?

You may reach the highest portals
And your dreams may all come true
Wealth and fame may be your portion
And sucess may shine on you.
All your friends may sing your praises,
Not a care on you may roll
What about the great tomorrow
Have you thought about your soul?

Don't forget your days are numbered,
Though you may be riding high.
But, like all of us poor mortals,
Someday you'll just up and die
Your sucess and fame and glory
Won't be worth the bell they toll.
Let me ask you just one question
Have you thought about your soul?

If you've never thought it over
Spend a little time today
There is nothing more important
That will ever come your way
Than the joy of sins forgiven
And to know you've been made whole
In the name of Christ the Saviour
Have you thought about your soul?

For what shall it profit a man, if he gain the whole world, and loose his soul (Mark8:36)

For the wages of sin is death but the gift of God is Eternal Life through Jesus Christ our Lord (Rom 6:23)


He is altogether lovely...my beloved and my friend
Song of Solomon 5:16

Dear reader

Ok you've probably read the poem. You've probably read Br.Bears post.

Now let me ask you...what are you going to do about your soul.

Behold now is the accepted time, now is the day of Salvation
(2 Cor 6:2)

Don't delay. Accept God's offer of salvation today. He died to save your soul.

The Bible says that all have sinned. No sin is so small it can be overlooked, none too big that it can't be forgiven. He invites you to come to Him for forgiveness and to save your soul for eternity.

For God so loved the world He gave His only begotten Son that whosoever believeth on Him should not perish but have everlasting life (John 3:16)

What will you do?

Dear reader I pray you accept Jesus Christ as your Saviour...it's the most important decision you will ever make.

For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?
Mark 8:36

Take time to watch, to stop, to wonder....about your soul



What if you die tonight?


Wherefore He is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by Him, seeing He ever liveth to make intercession for them
Hebrews 7:25

Of everything I read, that poem has indeed made me stop and think. I don't know the answer, but thanks for the prompt.

Canst thou by searching find out God?
Job 11:7

if.... thou shalt seek the LORD thy God, thou shalt find Him, if thou seek Him with all thy heart and with all thy soul.
Deuteronomy 4:29


Dear CuriousLauren

I am so pleased to hear that this poem has made you stop and think.

You say you don't know the answers......ask God to reveal His truth to your heart. He loves you and wants to give you His free gift of Salvation.

Don't brush this aside...Jesus is ready to accept you now!!

Please write here again or pm if you would like any help

Bless you



For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life

The existence of God cannot be proven through man's empirical reasoning, but He has left clues to His existence within creation. Those clues, it seems to me, are what Paul speaks of in Ro 1:20 - "For since the creation of the world God's invisible qualities - His eternal power and divine nature - have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse."

Love the poem, excellent and thought provoking. Thank you for sharing this. I encourage the readers to dwell on the point made.

SLE, that verse Paul spoke is indeed so truthful. To me, as mind boggling as GOD's power and wisdom is, so it is also mind boggling how people deny that GOD even exists.

Many people don't want to believe they will be accountable for their actions, when all is said and done. Among skeptics, many will even acknowledge that there could be a higher power out there, but it is easier to call it ''the universe'' rather than God. Some even go further than that, and speculate that some unknown alien overlords must be our true creators. Richard Dawkins actually admitted that was more possible than God.


Now, God be praised, that to believing souls gives light in darkness, comfort in despair.- William Shakespeare
