THE MAIN INGREDIENTS

The application of salt and pepper
and other delectable spices added
to the food of your choice, would
satisfy your taste buds. To consider
the application of spiritual enlightenment
for your soul are thoughts you refuse 
to entertain.

And yet you call yourselves Christians.

By who's authority do we claim these
earthly cravings.  Who is the grower
of these earthly seeds that spread
through out our being, that entices
our carnal sides?  Why are the 
ingredients of darkness so deeply
imbedded in our being, when we 
were created from the light.

And yet we call ourselves Christians.

Why are we so comfortable at the table
of indecisiveness?  Why are we so enthralled
with the devil's servers at the devil's banquet?
Blinded by the devil's enticing glitter rapped
in high heel shoes, short skirts and bling.

Or could it be the pointed toe shoes, three
piece suits and the sharp tongues that appears
to be trained in the Biblical truths.  Why not
try coming to a banquet of Praise and Worship
where Jesus is Lord.

But to do that you would  have to read
the Biblical menu to acquire the cooking
skills in order to prepare yourself for
God's banquet, if your intentions are focus
on being a participant instead of a spectator.
