Weekend Words & Sunday Stanzas – 01/29/2012
I really like the way God works. Today’s poem actually lines up with the topic of the past couple weeks. Also, I attended the “Calvinism, Arminianism, and Free Grace Seminar” yesterday. John Correia was the main speaker helping everyone understand better what Calvinists, Arminians, and he and others within the Free Grace Theological background believe. (If you have not heard of Molinism yet, look it up!) Anyway, one of the things discussed by two of the speakers included justification by works and our own sinful nature. I thought of all of the “religion” talk of the past few weeks. Then I saw what poem I had for this week, and WHOA!
I hope you enjoy:
my greatest tempter
my biggest foe i cannot name
this person leads me astray
i cannot get very far from him
he is everywhere that i am
he constantly tempts me with sin
and keeps me away from Him
this enemy of mine you see
for this person is actually
me
