Apostle Paul Says It All Poem by Luke Easter

There are so many works in the bible,
Each book has a story to tell,
Whether it’s Psalm’s, Daniel, or whatever,
They are all written very well.

I am more partial to the Apostle Paul,
Not just for the many books he writes,
But in each and every single chapter,
Paul puts a new faith perspective on life.

Since there are so many where do I begin?
How about Galatians chapter one verse ten,
You strive and seek to please God first,
Before you attempt to satisfy your own thirst.

For man’s law is always changing,
Where God’s will forever be the same,
The Ten Commandments are still The Ten Commandments,
You’ll never know what teaching from mankind will bring.

What was legal yesterday is a crime today,
Being put in jail last year while now you walk away,
Women cannot serve as pastors,
And it’s OK for a priest to be gay?

We tend to forget that God sits on the throne,
When has He ever sought counsel from man?
To justify not following the word of the Lord,
The world attempts to do all that it can.

To create contempt through chaos and confusion,
Most of the rich don’t help but stifle with illusion,
Trying to disrupt and derail the poor if not all,
Was this the teaching of Apostle Paul?

A bondservant of Christ the Messiah,
It was the Lord who choose to anoint,
To spread the message of the gospel,
No longer to get across his own point.

Paul use to scorn and crucify,
Any who accepted the teaching of Christ,
But through unmerited favor and grace,
God spared then changed his life.

Paul has been on both sides of the fence,
That’s why his words ring so true,
The Lord allowed him to experience wrong & right,
So the message can clearly come through.

Remember he suffered more from doing right,
Than he ever did when practicing wrong,
And still through the entire calamity,
He chose to praise the Lord in song.

Now is the time to stop and ask you?
Whom will you choose first to please?
Man who can only elevate for a few short years?
Or God who can forever put you on your knees?

Why do so many still choose the man?
And his forever changing laws?
In thirteen faith written books of the bible,
The Apostle Paul says it all.
