Where Will You Sit?

Story by Rev. George Whitfield 1714-1770

Poem by Rev. Dean Beaty 2/28/12

Psalm 90:11-12 “Who knoweth the power of thine anger?

even according to thy fear, so is thy wrath. So teach us to

number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom.” (KJV)

As I walked by the prison gate,

There I heard a loud debate.

A cart was there for men to ride

With a bench along each side.

The choice of space where one would sit,

That was my friend the whole of it.

“I want the front where I can see.

Just where we go and where we’ll be.”

Another wanted to sit in back

So he could be with his friend Jack.

This great concern of where to sit,

Seemed odd to me and didn’t fit.

The ride would not be long or hard,

Just yonder to the prison yard.

There would end the life they chose

With thirteen steps up the gallows.

Of the lost it’s true today,

Just before they pass away.

What lies ahead is quite unknown

As they approach God’s judgment throne.

Proverbs 14:12 “There is a way which seemeth right

unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.” (KJV)

My Neighbor Kim

By Rev. Dean Beaty 2/29/12

Luke 10:27&29 “Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all

thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and

with all thy mind; and thy neighbor as thyself. But he, willing

to justify himself, said unto Jesus, and who is my neighbor?” (KJV)

Like you, I have a neighbor who lives across the street.

I wondered if in heaven the two of us would meet.

She’s as nice a neighbor as anyone could want.

If I ever had a need, I am sure on her I’d count.

I’ve become disabled and if somehow I should fall.

I’d be in a pickle for I can’t get up at all.

Then one day it happened that I fell down on the ground.

I’m so very thankful that my neighbor was around.

I can say with confidence that she is very good.

If good works could gain heaven, I’m sure then that hers would.

But the Bible makes it clear that good works will never do.

Salvation is by faith alone in the blood Christ shed for you.

If we’re concerned for others and their faith in Christ the Lord,

Then we will have to ask them, it just cannot be ignored.

Don’t put the question off for it may not come again.

Before God we will answer if our neighbor dies in sin.

Ephesians 2:8-10 “For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not

of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should

boast. For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good

works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.” (KJV)
