NO PROFIT: Pride

Pride Is A Compass That Points Toward Self
It Discounts The Lord Of Life
And
Places Him On The What-Not Shelf
While Placing Old Satan In Ascendancy
And
Booking A Berth In The Lake Of Fire Pyre
When The Lord, Himself
Shall Ignite Eternal Condemnation's Consuming Fire!

Satan Is The Bold Sinner!
Prideful Self Is Likewise
And
Has No Compunction
About Others To Tell Lies!
Satan Crafted The Art
And
He Hands Out For The Drama
Each Chosen Player's Part
And
He Tempts Them With Trifles And Truffles
From The Script Not To Depart!

Just Like Satan
Pride Is A Parasite
Killing The Host All The While Knowing That
The Host's Death Means Death To Itself
But
Being Totally Selfish
And
Knowing The Outcome Cannot Be Diverted 
- Nor Dismissed -
Without Outside Intervention
Pride Paints Itself A Grandly Visual Feast
And
Casually Waits For The Death That Brings No Relief!

Pride Is A Terminal Disease
The Only Known Cure For Which 
Is
Christ's Blessed Humility
Where Self Is Transformed
Where Truth Is Uplifted
Where Love To And For Others
Is Willingly Manifested!

To The Heart Filled With Pride
Humility Is A Smooth Pill That Won't Slide
Which Chokes And Inhibits The Free Passage Of
The Beloved Poison That Surely Does The Prideful Soul
Its Necessary Damage!
In The Heart There Is Carnage!

But ...

With Jesus Christ As Captain
- Captain Of The Soul Ship -
Prideful Self And Sin And Satan
Will Be Evicted
When Forgiveness For Known Sin
- By Confession And Repentance -
Is 
Eagerly Accepted!

Satan May Tempt
Twist, Torture
About Turn
But
He Can't Force The Soul
To His Way Of Thinking
To Turn!
So, With This In Mind
Dear Fellow, Kind Friend
Remember That Jesus Christ Saves To The Uttermost
And
His Word Is Final
When The Carnal Life Of Sin And Shame
Shall Forever End!

Let The Lord Christ Lead You ...

He's The Good Shepherd!
Let The Lord Guide You:
Your Footsteps Shall No Slide!
Let The Lord Bless You:
He's Already Paid For Your Grace
- Your Unmerited Favor -
So Trust Him 
And 
Believe His Word!
His Gifts To You Are Of An Unexpected
Unknown, Unanticipated, Unimaginable
But
Truly Delightsome Savor!

Believe The Word Of God
And Live ...

There Is No Profit In Sin!
There Is No Profit In Self!
There Is No Profit In Pride, My Friend
Just Designated Destruction
At This Journey's End!
Do Not The Way Of Satan Defend
Or Else You Will Suffer His Known Prophesied
And
Published End!
To Jesus Christ The One Righteous
Holy, Just, Kind, Loving
Forgiving, Faithful, True
Your Short Life Commend!
On This One Commitment
The Eternity Of Peace Depends!

Sin Is No Man's Friend!
