Spiritual Motivation

Some people get an attitude,
That can be downright rude;
To say as a Christian to boot,
But not really giving a hoot.

To be Christian only in name,
Treating life just like a game;
For the thoughts deep inside,
Do not heed the Word or abide.

You know that it is just talk,
Only listening to worldly rock;
The Scriptures they never thirst,
God comes last rather than first.

They tend to take more than give,
Feel if owed to them for to live;
And having a tendency to forget,
All their errors and their debt.

They need a spiritual motivation,
Starting them towards salvation;
The longer they procrastinate,
Might find themselves too late.
