Why choose wickedly?
Why disagree with thineself and thy family?
Why not love thy brothers and thy sisters passionately?
Why the irony of being immature, thought as maturity?
Why sin endlessly?
Why not let Jesus bear thy sin honorably and allow him to make thee holy?
For God gave me, this explanation of truth, to say to thee.
That Jesus Christ is the son of God and died on the cross humbly.
Also that whoever believe-th in him, shall not perish but have immortality!
Author notes
John 3:16
"God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son, that whoever believeth in him, shall not perish but have everlasting life".
Glory to God!

I still like.
I still like this very much. -
Thanks.
It is nice to be reading this evening because you have written such a fine piece. When you work all day and then come home, you just want to kick back and read a good piece. -
This is beautiful because so many of us dont praise and worship God the way we're supposed to. Then there are some of us that just dont want to give up our sin. In this poem you give light to the people who are living in darkness and I think it is beautifully written and said.

Well written in Spirit for to worship the Spirit we must be in Spirit of the Lord for no man can worship two masters.
Praise the Holy Name of the Lord Jesus Christ.

Very Pretty!
I love the usage of the "thee"s and the "thy"s. Very cool. It carries a very powerful message! God bless you!
Luv ya oodles!

Wow.
Indeed, He did die on that cross humbly and that is the same way we should die daily to our selfish, fleshly desires,..Kill them with no mercy because they don't deserve life, yet feed the spirit with prayer, reading our Bibles and being obedient to God. Here you've written another good poem about His greatness. And sadly we sin endlessly because we cannot control the flesh alone we need HIM to help us,transform us into who He wants us to be.
..Simply Me♥
God Bless you. -
Wow!
I love it.... And the reason why I say this is,
Because Im just actually starting to praise got like I should, and once u do I swear it seems like the world changed for me...
I really felt this and is very deep, and I hope that u have got great reviews on this..... -
This piece of writing holds many lessons and
many things that we all could learn from. I
enjoyed reading this. good job. -
Not too shabby. My only crit on it is that you may want to stick to one writing style. You use the words "say to thee" and "believe th in him" but the majority of the poem is written in modern tongue, so it stands out awkwardly. To be consistent it would read "Why disagree with thineself and thy family..." etc. Just some'in to think about.

while i myself have different views as far as religion goes, it is always nice to read something by a person who is not trying to force something upon others, but speaking lightly, as though to polite company over tea or some other refreshments.
Its nice to know that there are people out there capable of simply giving opinion. There are too many religious people out there that think that simply becuase someone doesnt have their same views, they are mean spirited or evil, or condemned to hell, or countless other things. I thank you for that,

Good write, though I myself don't believe in any "God-like" figure, it's always nice to read another's hard work.
Keep it up man.

I wish all people young and old could hear and receive this word.
Well done. Nice use of repetitive end-rhyme.
