Entertaining Evil?


Why do you entertain evil thoughts in your hearts? *
Why do you keep them at bay?
Why do they stay?
Why?

What do we do when our hearts will not rest?
What do I do?
What?!?

Why do you entertain evil thoughts in your hearts?
Why do Jesus’ words haunt me this day?
Why does why matter?
Why?

What do I do today?
What will make it go away?
What’d my Jesus say?
What does He say?
What?

Why do you entertain evil thoughts in your hearts?

“Father, forgive me I pray.
Turn me from my wicked thoughts.
Turn me from my wicked way.
Make straight my wayward thoughts.
Please restore our communion,
PLEASE LORD I pray.!
Create in me that clean heart.
LORD Jesus, I pray.”

“ This is the message we have heard from him and declare to you: God is light; in him there is no darkness at all.  If we claim to have fellowship with him and yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not live out the truth.  But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from all sin.

If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness. If we claim we have not sinned, we make him out to be a liar and his word is not in us.”  1 John 1:5-10 NIV

Perhaps you’re one who’d like to throw that first stone?
Why do you entertain evil thoughts in your hearts?

  1. Something about the uniqueness of God in these posts that touches my mind and heart every time, Gordon. I love your site; it draws me, convicts me, delights me, and edifies my spirit in Christ through God-centered poetry. What a singularly special way He's touched you to communicate! His Truth in you is doing what it's supposed to do in me, brother, and I truly appreciate you and thank God for you. God bless.

  4. The why's of life. The devil loves to temp us. He knows what to use to get to us. We need to stay focused on God to do our best at keeping our thoughts pure. I know, sometimes easier said than done. Thanks for your wonderful posts.
