THE HERMENEUTICS OF LIFE
Pastor Mike and Tuesday Guy,
On Tuesdays, sure do try…
To inform community
Hermeneutically,
With fun-loving pokes in the eye.
–
Consider philosophical design
In response to a STOP sign…
Differing theologies prove
Almost no common groove,
On how to interpret the times.
–
Pretty much comes down to this,
Is the Bible correct or amiss…
If something is fudged,
How do you judge (?)
Then how can you sleep at night with bliss?
–Jonathan Caswell
PASTOR MIKE HITS IT AGAIN!**
Pastor Mike, in knowing God’s will,
Points out that we oft change the drill…
From God’s will to ours
And gain a few scars,
‘Cause the ground we thought ours to till.
–
In Matthew 6:33,
The passage misread by many…
“Seek the kingdom of God”
So many find odd,
They think it their devotion to be.
–
But what does this verse really mean,
What info we neglect to glean…
Exodus 9: 8-12,
The meaning we would shelve
Is God’s glory in which He is most keen.
–
Whatever course glorifies the Lord
The most…is the path to afford…
It’s not about you
Or what you might do,
He is the One to move toward!
–Jonathan Caswell
**From his sermon broadcast Monday, 4/21/14, 3:30-4:00 pm.

NOW PRAY THIS PRAYER…!
(This work has both Scriptural principles and opinion of the author mixed-in)
Pastor Mike and Tuesday Guy
On radio* asking why…
When saving a soul
One prayer is the whole,
Of belief in Jesu Who died?
–
So many look upon that prayer
Guaranteeing they’ll live up there…
It’s religion of works
With fire escape perks,
Like doing something on a dare.
–
Arminian thought is more real
Than one prayer being heavenly sealed…
A flash-bang dies
With no Spirit ties,
No growth and dead seed is revealed.
–
One prayer and infant baptism,
The source of disagreement and schism…
Some claim that’s enough,
Traditional stuff
That puts the Bible to derision!
–
Now where in the Bible is the prayer
That one must say by rote when saved there…
There isn’t any text
That says “do that next”,
But as you grow into the Lord, your faith is there.
–
Pentecostals and Charismatics use one date
Of their “being saved” to validate…
Their “chops” as Spirit-filled
Believers that God has willed,
So that others their “higher level” appreciate!
–Jonathan Caswell

NO-CO INTERVIEW*
Pastor Mike interviewing Carl Truman
His old friend, but for me a new man…
About veracity
Of theology
And making sure of the terms we’re all assuming.
–
Independent ministries, who checks,
When all of the board bend their necks….
To the will of the one
By which it’s all run,
If it’s not Gospel truth, who suspects?
–
Used to be a pastor could keep
Sufficient eye on his sheep…
But these days, all kinds
Of stuff fills minds,
With little discerning of doctrine creep.
–
I thank the Lord Jesus I am
Spiritually under another man…
Under Pastor Ed,
My church spiritual head…
I sit under him, you understand!
–Jonathan Caswell
