Killing Your Witness
You go throughout your day doing all your talking
But do the words that you speak line up with your walking?
Are you the type known as an "uncover saint"?
Pretending to be someone that you know you really ain't
Why are you faint in your talk about Jesus Christ?
He is the reason you still have your life
He is the light that should shine before men
Without Him and salvation, we would forever be in sin
Never to be born again, we'd be like ships lost at sea
Never to fulfill our purpose in our God given destiny
Can't you see, your life should speak for you
Actions speak louder than words; I thought you knew
Its true that people can always remember your mistakes
So don't you think they can tell a real Christian from a fake
Go ahead and break those chains of deception
The life you live can give someone a whole new perception
Remember that God is all seeing and all knowing
So when you are in darkness, He's the one still glowing
Showing you that you should make it your business
To make sure that your life isn't killing your witness.
The bible says that as Christians, we are to be in the world but not of it. 1 John 2:15 says, Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him." Now this a bold statement. In other words, if you love God, you can't be still trying to do as the world. You're either for him or against him. I wrote this poem because I felt that God was not only directing it to others but I needed to check myself. If I'm proclaiming God and yet I'm at the club doing what everyone else is doing, what is that saying for the God I serve? I've never been to a club or a party. The past year was my first year in college. I must say that the world truly has NOTHING to offer me. I just want to encourage you, don't let your good be evil spoken of. Remember whose child you are and the God you serve. Revelation 3:15-16 "I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot. I could wish you were cold or hot. So then, because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will vomit you out of My mouth." Wow! God is basically saying if you are going to do your dirt then do it. However, don't try to be at the club on Saturday night and then be on that altar Sunday trying to cry and repent. I heard someone say "if you are going to sin, then sin all the way. But if you're going to live for God, then live for God all the way." So, people that read this, I'm not perfect, that's why I must kill this flesh daily. But I refuse to kill my witness and be of this world. Keep the faith people. We serve a God that will keep you...but you must want to be kept!
