THE
SHACKLES STILL EXIST
(August 30, 2007 by Carl A. Patton)
I know you have heard about
those chained in bondage to till
the soil. These chains still exist.
But there are no greater shackles
than those that strip the mind,
heart and soul of what has been
handed down by the great Prophets.
The Apostles came also telling
the story. Christ Jesus sealed
it with His death, resurrection and
ascension back to the Father.
The inspired writers left the Book.
The chains are broke but few
accept the Truth.
Shackled by Satan I saw denial
that day. They still come with
the thoughts that they can
develop their own religion.
But God is not looking for a
creative recipe book.
The shackles and chains tighten.
On every street they open houses
that serves as unique temples
with no shame.
The world flocks to their
doors as the greatest liars and
actors have the most extensive, and expensive
crowds. Some very lost women also
try to be men, as they also want to
fleece the flock of Truth and money.
Motivational speakers abound as the
Word is tampered with and now they
sing all kinds of songs.
As the mind is chained so do the
hands go to death. No one listened
to Noah. The world still stares in
disbelief as it will soon go up in smoke.
