CRIMMINAL

Snippet

“Nothing spells trouble like two drunk cowboys with a rocket launcher.” ― C.J. Box from novel COLD WIND

Scripture

What do you think? There was a man who had two sons. He went to the first and said, ‘Son, go and work today in the vineyard.’

“‘I will not,’ he answered, but later he changed his mind and went.

 “Then the father went to the other son and said the same thing. He answered, ‘I will, sir,’ but he did not go.

 “Which of the two did what his father wanted?”

“The first,” they answered.

Jesus said to them, “Truly I tell you, the tax collectors and the prostitutes are entering the kingdom of God ahead of you. 32 For John came to you to show you the way of righteousness, and you did not believe him, but the tax collectors and the prostitutes did. And even after you saw this, you did not repent and believe him. Matthew 21:28-32 NIV

"Criminals And Kings" By Stellar Kart

WE ARE WHO WE ARE

FALLING AND SHOOTING STARS

WE PRAY TO GOD ABOVE

AND PRAY ON THE ONES WE LOVE

HELD TO A HIGHER CALL

WE ARE THE RISE AND FALL

WE ARE THE CRIMINALS

WE ARE THE CRIMINALS AND KINGS

GUILTY AND INNOCENT

BEEN FOUND BUT STILL WE'RE WANDERING

WE ARE THE CRIMINALS

WE ARE THE CRIMINALS AND KINGS

THIS LIGHT CAN SHINE SO BRIGHT

THEN FADE INTO THE NIGHT

SO CLOSE TO HEAVEN'S THRONE

NAILED TO THE STREETS BELOW

I CAN'T ESCAPE THE SAFE

TIME IS NOT MINE TO WASTE

HELD TO A HIGHER CALL

I AM THE RISE AND FALL

BROUGHT BACK FROM THE DEEP

YOU ARE MY ONLY FREEDOM

FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY LUNGS

UNTIL FOREVER ENDS

I SWEAR I'LL NEVER CAVE IN

THIS IS WHO I AM

Sentence Prayer

Father

I am who I am a sinner saved by Grace

Grace only made possible by the Son of God’s blood.

From Day to Day a prostitute and saint depending

On how I yield to the Spirits leading.

Help me to never give up

But to cling to you in faith forever.  Amen

A.dore God for His mercy for your sin.  Maybe a long look back at how much he has forgiven is in order.

C.onfess your criminal acts

T. hanks  Thank the Holy God of the universe for his never give up on His Children

S. upplication  Pray for the Pharisee who sees no need to repent, who has said he would work in the vineyard but has not gone.  Pray for God’s rebellious son’s and daughter who refuse God’s call.
