Poetry

---

As for one whose faith is weak,
Quarrel not on opinions;
Rather talk on ways to seek,
Compromise on solutions.

Someone believes what to eat,
But others just vegetables;
Let no one despise to seat,
Next to them at the tables.

Welcome him with open arms,
Passing judgment to abstain;
Using your spiritual charms,
Not passing judgment in vain.

Before God one stands or falls,
To stand in front of the Lord;
Upon the time when He calls,
That one adhered or ignored.

Someone esteems as better,
On one day than another;
Committed to the letter,
Than tempted by a brother.

If someone observes the day,
Observes to honor the Lord;
Gives thanks to honor and obey,
For living in one accord.

For none of us lives or dies,
Without living for the Lord;
As His wisdom makes us wise,
Why He is loved and adored.

Since Christ died to live again,
As Lord of dead and living;
Assured confession of sin,
Our God is forgiving.

Pass not judgment or despise,
God sits in the judgment seat;
He sees through cheating and lies,
Causing your brother defeat.

Knees shall bow and tongues confess,
Unto Christ as our Lord;
Giving account to profess,
That will never be ignored.
