Spare-tire Christians,
smooth and tread-bare
only have faith . . .
when they lose air.
Calling on God,
only when deflated
the rest of the time
their ego’s inflated.
Spare-tire Christians,
come out of the trunk
only when they run . . .
out of good luck.
Praying to God,
for an easy, quick fix
then they speed off
back to their old tricks.
Spare tire Christians,
they are all around
they only need God . . .
when they break down!
~~~~~~~~
Having a form of godliness,
but denying the power thereof:
from such turn away.

Love love love! Telling the truth is a responsibility we should never shy away from. For now do we become enemies for telling the truth? And if we do then it’s as it was with Christ our Saviour. And we are to gladly bear His cross.

Discovering error is very important. It helps us avoid on missing to enter God’s rest. As well as, experiencing God’s true love.

The prayer of my heart is that many move from this state to the point of experiencing unconditional love through Christ Jesus.
