Analysis of Sermonizing, sameness.



Putting in remembrance

Or just dull repeat

Repeat and repeat

With those verses so sweet.

They have heard it before.

Some affirm; some just snore.

And seventy minutes pass

To the mark.

COVID smashed the whole thing.

no flesh/blood now they bring

They got used to a

Jammy time lounge.

Coffee, muffin in hand

To traverse Holy Land

And the tough Bible study they dodge.

Remembrance the Message

Did we plain forget?

Yes, we probably

Did in this lull.

But the Spirit says HARK.

Flock and sheep in the dark.

You are still on that trail

So dive in, think of Sin

Grab the oars

You MUST PULL.
