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!
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!
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!
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 ...

You Are Not Wrestling
With Flesh And Blood!
Let's Be Wise ...
Jesus Christ Can Save Us All

Who Are Obedient To His Living Word
Which Calls Us To His Side
For Protection
