Earthly Temptation


I Thessalonians 4:1-5

We ask you and urge you in Christ's name,
Allow God in your life of a rightful claim;
Knowing how to walk and please Him more,
Of blessings overflow from Heaven outpour;
You know the laws given by Christ himself,
So do not just put them away up on a shelf;
Being of the will of God for sanctification,
That you should abstain from fornication;
All should know giving respect and honor,
Not in sexual lust with being as a desirer.
Sex is all around everywhere you can see,
On billboards and in movies, all over TV;
So much temptation in selling for to lure,
Anything getting a man through the door;
Just like the websites over the Internet,
And availability on DVD and videocassette;
So weak are we against earthly desires,
Neglecting everything that God requires;
Understanding as He is we have recourse,
By confessing to Him to show remorse.
