THE OLD PATHS I liked the old paths, when
Moms were at home.
Dads were at work.
Brothers went into the army,
And sisters got married BEFORE having children! Crime did not pay;
Hard work did;
And people knew the difference. Moms could cook;
Dads would work;
Children would behave. Husbands were loving;
Wives were supportive;
And children were polite. Women wore the jewelry;
And men wore the pants.
Women looked like ladies;
Men looked like gentlemen;
And children looked decent. People loved the truth,
And hated a lie;
They came to church to get IN,
Not to get OUT! Hymns sounded Godly;
Sermons sounded helpful;
Rejoicing sounded normal;
And crying sounded sincere. Cursing was wicked;
Drinking was evil;
And divorce was almost unthinkable The flag was honored;
America was beautiful;
And God was welcome! We read the Bible in public;
Prayed in school;
And preached from house to house.
To be called an American was worth dying for;
To be called a Christian was worth living for;
To be called a traitor was a shame! Sex was a personal word.
Homosexual was an unheard of word,
And abortion was an illegal word. Preachers preached because they had a message;
And Christians rejoiced because they had the
VICTORY!
Preachers preached from the King James Bible;
Singers sang from the heart;
And sinners turned to the Lord to be SAVED! A new birth meant a new life;
Salvation meant a changed life;
Following Christ was our reasonable service;Being a preacher meant you proclaimed
the Word of God;
Being a deacon meant you would serve the Lord;
Being a Christian meant you would live for Jesus;
And being a sinner meant someone was praying for you! Laws were based on the Bible;
Homes read the Bible;
And churches taught the Bible. Preachers were more interested in
new converts than new clothes and new cars.
God was worshiped;
Christ was exalted;
And the Holy Spirit was respected. Church was where you found Christians on the Lord's Day,
Rather than in the garden, on the creek bank,
on the golf course, or being entertained somewhere else. I STILL LIKE THE OLD PATHS THE BEST!!AMEN and AMEN!!!!!!"The Old Paths" was written by a retired minister who lives in Tennessee.
