This poem brings to head the question, are
you in lust with the world? This question is
obviously directed to Christians, seeing how those
that are of the world are definitely in lust with
it and it's ways. Christians today are more
concerned with climbing the ladder of success in
the world, rather than climbing the ladder of
success in the Kingdom Of God. We still try to keep
up with the Jones' and desire all the niceties the
world has to offer. And money is the motive that
drives us each and every day. In 2 Corinthians 6:17,
Paul tells us to "Come out from among them and be
ye separate." We need to separate ourselves from
this world, set our eyes upon God and his
Kingdom and "GO FOR IT!"

"ARE YOU IN LUST?"

Are you in lust with the world and all of it's glory?
Are you caught up in fantasy, some fairy-tale story?

Do you live for the moment and crave after feeling,
self-satisfied lust, the world keeps on dealing?


This material world, for which we strive,
says "Get all you can, while your still alive."


"Claim those riches, and build up a treasure,
go for the gold, yes, money is pleasure."


I'm sorry my friends, but I must break your hearts,
those riches will stay, when your body departs.


"The love of money, is the root of all evil."
If you trust in possesions, salvation is feeble.


Don't let the world, throw you a curve,
it's either God or money, only ONE to serve.


Cause serving two masters, it can not be done,
pure satisfaction comes from serving God's Son.


For a camel shall pass through a needle before,
one who loves money, will see Heaven's door.


Stop concerning yourself, how the rest will react,
you may lose some friends, it's a well known fact.


Stand up proud, let the worldly see us,
that we're seeking the riches, to be given by Jesus.


These things that you glory in and love with a passion,
can't even compare, to our Heavenly mansion.


So lay up your treasures, not here on this Earth,
but build them in Heaven, for a spiritual worth.


You've got to take that lust and turn it to love.
Start craving the things from God up above.


The things Heaven offers, are oh - so much better,
fix your eyes up on Jesus and be a GO-GETTER.
