1. The flesh
Some like poker. At least till
that old wild eyed joker shows
up, in someone else's hand.
Others prefer movies. As long
as the joker stays up on the
screen and out of the audience.
Would you get a joker tattoo?
Maybe to say that life's mostly
chance. Or so you don't have to
always be in control? To let
yourself go & the flesh take over.
The devil
Some just want a little
distraction from their troubles.
Like a dream vacation. At least
that's how it starts, with a quick
trip to their own fantasy island.
(like guests of Rourke & Tattoo)
Not that they ever intend to
stay. As if we could have our
own little heaven to escape the
“real” world – where hell grows
larger – the more we're gone.
The world
Some say the race is about
“how you play,” others say “win
no matter what.” Victory won't
come by getting the jump on the
pack, but by overcoming!
In a choice between “evil vs.
evil” where no matter which you
pick – you still get evil – it's
best to just turn away and pray!
When sports, politics, games,
religion, and such involve
choosing a lesser evil, Why take
sides? Why join in one spirit or
the other? You don't have to
play their games.

2. Don't Give In!
Instead of fighting others it's
better to bless our enemies, to
carry our cross, and turn the
other cheek.
That's what Jesus showed us.
Like our Father in Heaven rains
lovingkindness and mercy on the
just and the unjust.
The real war is spiritual. Those
that play games are AWOL from
the real battle. And no one goes
to war alone or unprepared.
Even Time Ends
We overcome the flesh through
crucifixion with Christ, so that
we walk in the spirit. For the
devil, it's For the world, we
overcome by believing that
Christ is the Son of God.
Finish the Race!
Saved by Christ
only by grace
only through faith
only for love
Jesus
keeps His Word!
