"Floundering"




Alma 6:38 Behold, I say unto you, that the good shepherd doth call you; yea, and in his own name he doth call you, which is the name of Christ; and if ye will not hearken unto the voice of the good shepherd, to the name by which ye are called, behold, ye are not the sheep of the good shepherd.

(It is highly recommended to read/listen to this whole chapter – about 151/2 minutes.)

 

“Floundering”

 

cji

2/27/15

 

As if history repeating

changing titles-names

creating the illusions

when the Savior lived

upon this earth long ago

same messages taught

‘no revelations’ ‘imposter’

most believed Pharisees

most believed Sadducees

most believed philosophers

most believed scholars

very few believed their eyes

very few believed Prophets

very few believed Apostles

very few believed Christ

same then as it is today

priests, teachers, rabbis

ministers, clergy, clerics

media, follywood, others

just different names/titles

while once were Prophets

today there is a Prophet

while once revelations

today are revelations

while once miracles

today there are miracles

once the truth to obey

today the truth to obey

once the Father and Son

today the Father and Son

sadly most the worldly

even proclaiming loving

reject the messengers

taught there are none

therefore missing them

as once then long ago

same today being taught

believe some – pay pelf

believe not literally

thus only the few do

ridiculed and ignored

when giving the warning

called a zealot-radical

honest in all their ways

deluded as to the truth

a nation – a world all

left floundering adrift

partial truths only

a bare mast’ed ship

without rudder wetted

turning 360’s daily

pushed here and there

comfortable in illusions

same when He lived

same today as we live!
