I Remember As a Child Going To the Theater Was a Sin
I
I remember at the young
age of 9 or 10...
Going to the theater was
considered a sin.
There were many things
that as a young boy...
That I wanted to
explore and enjoy.
My parents may have been
"old fashioned."
They were filled with a Godly
love and compassion.
I look back now and with
some hesitation...
And think about this
"new generation."
I wonder "where have
all of the morals gone to?"
Some parents are doing things,
as a kid, I'd never do.
Many of the "Godly" parents
don't seemed concerned.
What's right or wrong—they can't discern.
What once was a dividing line
between black and white.
Is now; "if it feels good—it must be allright."
The savior's call for holiness
in your life must dwell...
Living by his word will save
your family from hell.
Maybe living for Jesus is by some,
"a narrow way of living."
May your life be one of sacrifice,
holiness and thanksgiving.
May your commitment be true,
your heart sincere...
For one day very soon,
Jesus shall appear.
Now's the time to be an example
of Jesus' precious name.
When he comes... Will you be ready...
or be ashamed???
