The Fall of a Nation

July 7, 2011 by Guest Author 1 Comment

People scattered from the Tower of Babel
Nations destroyed…Jerusalem, Israel
From their mistakes people learn briefly,
Yet is seems we never learn from our history.

Homosexuals, lying everywhere we turn;
We can’t get away from foul language and porn.
Families destroyed, relationships torn,
Children, abused, wonder why they were born.

If we’re not careful God’s patience He’ll lose,
And He’ll let us hang from our own-strung noose.
When will we learn that life can be great
When we unlock our hearts and open the gate.

Divorce would decline
School shootings would cease
Love would grow
And we would have peace

    I really enjoyed your poem. Our nation is falling, but I am praying for a return to God’s Word. ?

Welcome to Come Fill Your Cup!

CFYC About Image Welcome! We are so glad you stopped by. Come Fill Your Cup is a group of Christian ladies dedicated to equipping women for study and service. We know you are busy and that life’s hectic pace pulls you in so many directions, but you can’t truly be the woman God desires unless you take time to fill your own cup…not with spa days (though we love a good spa!) or the latest novel…but with God’s Holy Word. We want to help you with that! Our goal is to reach you in the midst of your busy day and give you encouragement, education, and fellowship as you strive to live the life God has laid before you. Our prayer is that we can help fill your cup so that you, in turn, can overflow to all those around you. So, as we like to say…come fill your cup, and let it overflow!
