PRIDE: Wearing The Helmet Of Salvation


They All Attended The Banquet!
They All Were Eating The Fare
And
All Of Them Were Choking
And
It Wasn't A Game Of Truth ... Or Dare!

Pride Was On The Floor!
Pride Was On The Chair!
Pride Was On The Balcony 
And
They All Heard When Humility Declared:

Pride ... Inordinate Pride 
Goes Before The Fall
Which For You All
Is
Now Here Present!
Enjoy What You're Eating Now
For, Soon,
You Shall Surely Have No More Desire 
To Eat Liarman's Dressed Pheasant!

You Have Nothing To Boast About 
Unless Your Boast Is In The Lord Christ
Who Lived And Died
So That You May Die To Sin And Self
And
Renewed
Live Again
Nevermore To Know
What Foolish Pride Is Again! 


1 Thessalonians 5:8 But let us, who are of the day, be sober ...



Those Who Ride Vehicles 
Which Have No Protective Cages Around Them 
Wear Helmets To Protect Their Heads 
From Traumatic, Even Fatal, Injury
Unless They Refuse To Wear Them
Because
They Are Heaven-Daring ... Presumptuously Bold
And
Too Proud To Be Wise! 

We Are Mortal ...

We Are In A Warfare 
And 
As Fragile Beings 
Coming Up Against A Malevolent Enemy 
Who Is Working Rabidly 
To Secure Our Eternal Destruction
The Lord Jesus Christ Has Paid For 
And 
Provided To All Mankind
His Can't-Fail Helmet Of Salvation!
Don't Be Contrariwise!

Beloved, 

Possessing The Helmet 
Is 
A Good Thing 
But
Believing It Works 
And
Utilizing It For Safety And Security 
Is 
The Perfect Way To Survive 
And 
Prosper In The Fight For Eternal Life!
Save Your Own Life! 

You Are Not Wrestling
With Flesh And Blood!

Let's Be Wise ...

Jesus Christ Can Save Us All 
But 
He Will Only Save Those Of Us 
Who Are Obedient To His Living Word 
Which Calls Us To His Side 
For Protection 
And 
Eternal Security! 

Please Don't Be Prideful 
And 
Decorate Your Helmet With The Badges Of The World! 

Be Humble And Obedient
Trust Your Maker
And 
Enduringly Wear Your Helmet Of Salvation 
Even If It Is Uncomfortable
Spoils Your Public Image
And 
Ruins Your Hair-Do! 

Man-Made Helmets Save Lives Which End Anyhow 
But
The Helmet Of Salvation 
Leads To Christ's Eternal Life Of Which There Is No End! 
Obey The Word ... And Sleep In Your Helmet!

  1. Jesus Christ's Salvation Came Down To Earth So That I, Being Wise, May Avail Myself Of It And Go Up To Heaven To Be With Him Forever ... At The Time Appointed! Thank You, Father, For The Infinite Blessing!
