There are a lot of people these days who are “cherry picking” scriptures which support their lifestyle choices, while they often ignore the context, as a whole, from which those scriptures are drawn.

An Original Work / July 10, 2020

Idols gleaming,
Whirlwind, whirlwind,

Take them alive!
We will see who
Will now survive.

Wake up! Wake up!
Now is the call
So, from your faith
You do not fall.
