Remain faithful Archives - A Doctor's Cure for the Soul

Love not the World

Are we carnal and fleshly
Walk by faith, or by sight?
By our lusts, sensual desires
Live by instincts, appetites?

We are given each day
For God’s glory, not mine
To obey and to please Him
For His purpose divine.

So daily put on, the new man
In God’s likeness, created
In true righteousness, holiness
Daily victorious, and elated.

But then sadly, he succumbed
Asked for earrings, from his plunder
Israel gave him much gold
He made an ephod, an evil blunder.

The flames may have died
Fierce passions, ran dry
Many churches, dwindling
Are now asking why?

So instead, of self-approval
Or seek approval, of others
Know, we’re created for God
For His approval, not another.

Learn from Adam, our wrongs
We must own, and not hide
Nor blame others, but confess
And repent…. in Christ abide.

Set free, from compulsion
He restores our behavior
Our minds are renewed
What a wonderful Savior.

So dear saint, learn God’s lesson
Jesus tells us abide
In His vine, lest we’re pruned
Cast away, for our faith died.

“You will show me, the path of life
In Your presence, fullness of joy
Weeping, may endure for a night
But in the morning, comes joy.”
