Dirge #18 - Lovers of Pleasure Rather Than Lovers of God


"My neighbor's girl is so hot that it hurts!" drooled the man to his friend in the yard;
She was fifteen but he wanted her bad and he'd have her while leaving her scarred.
Beware of your lust, she's a child with her trust!
You have already sinned, but you had better rescind;
Turn to God right away or you're dust!
"Football's my life; I just live for the game!" yelled the man at his friends in the room.
He painted his body and was flaunting it now; he had willed this be done for his tomb.
"Beware, sporting fan, you're ignoring God's plan!
Idol worship is wrong and you drag it along;
Be this ardent for Christ if you can!
"I've played this game for three days in a row!" the boy boasted to all who could hear.
He was foul and unwashed and just lived in his room; the real world had long disappeared.
Beware, pleasure slut, you are stuck in a rut!
You're life's slipping away; you've forgotten the Way;
Hell's just waiting, and you're making the cut!
Joy and contentment are found in the Lord; all the others are toys of the damned.
Only in Jesus will you find your bliss; cry His name now or always be scammed.
We are all hopeless sinners, but in Christ we are winners!
Feel the Spirit's conviction and be saved from addiction!

1 "But know this: Difficult times will come in the last days.
2 For people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, proud,
     blasphemers, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy,
3 unloving, irreconcilable, slanderers, without self control,
     brutal, without love for what is good,
4 traitors, reckless, conceited, lovers of pleasures
     rather than lovers of God,
5 holding to the form of godliness but denying its power.
     Avoid these people!"

2 Timothy 3:1-5 (HCS)
