Getting Along

Luke 16:9-12

Make friendship with unrighteous mammon,
Being cautious in your own life to examine;
If you fail you get an eternal habitation,
Tangled in their web through a captivation;
As a little faithful is unfaithful as much,
A little dishonesty still dishonest as such;
So if you are unfaithful to the unrighteous,
To entrust riches as being conscientious;
If faithfulness of another you not condone,
Who shall give you that which is your own?
Not everyone is a Christian that you know,
Still we need to get along friend or foe;
Making friendship still standing on guard,
Not in having your own beliefs be marred;
God expects us to associate one another,
Regardless if being your Christian Brother;
But He does not want you to turn away,
Detour from His path as you start to stray;
Rather stay true to our Father in Heaven,
Whose eternal life to you He has given.
