Give A Sinner... Give a sinner a crossword, And you have a sinner who's thinking... Give a sinner a martini, And you have a sinner who's drinking... Give a sinner a vitamin, And you have a sinner who's healthy... Give a sinner a million, And you have a sinner who's wealthy... Give a sinner a mission, And you have a sinner who's dedicated... Give a sinner a new life, And you have a sinner who's resuscitated... Give a sinner a Bible And you have a sinner who's facing sin... Give a sinner a Savior, And you have a sinner who's saved within. -Robert E. Michaud Jr.- |

Almost missed this gem! How true these words ring. Someone said, don't tell a sinner of his sins, he already knows them, but tell him of forgiving love. |

Yes! How true. "Jesus" is the answer to every question. Anything else, however well intended, is only cosmetic. Good thought, clever poem. |

A Sandgrain, What you have said is true; The sinner does not need additional condemnation, but they do need to know that they as a person are loved. Thank you for your reply, Bob <>< Winnifer, Welcome to "Passions" and thank you for your comment. I too am a firm believer that Jesus is the answer to all of our questions... if we would only ask. God Bless You, Bob <>< [This message has been edited by Lighthousebob (edited 10-05-2000).] |

Powerful words here, Bob. You always write clear poems that give God all the glory, because your heart is filled with the love of Jesus. Love, Ellie Summers haunting melody that awakens the butterflies, calling them to join the dance in their silent song of praise to God. eL |

White Dove, You always have something encouraging to write and I truly do appreciate your encouragement. I really do enjoy simple poems as well. I like reading them and I love it when God gives me a simple poem of truth like this one to share. God Bless You, Bob <>< [This message has been edited by Lighthousebob (edited 10-08-2000).] |

Bob, Very nice piece here. How true that the sinner who receives his Savior will be shown the beauty of salvation. Who knows, maybe that is what he has been waiting for in his life. Wonderful writing. Lone Wolf Poetry should surprise by fine excess...it should strike the reader as a wording of his own highest thoughts and appear almost a remembrance. -J.Keats |

Lone Wolf, You are absolutely correct. Salvation is a beautiful thing worthy of receiving and holding on to... and sharing with others. There is no better gift in the world. God Bless You, Bob <>< |
