Matthew 7 E)veryone's doing ’t ...

“Well, come to God through narrow and tight gate

(as baby travels through the birth canal).

Your old life will be finished ’coz of late

it's too constraining, though there's more that shall

not feel “too easy”, it might feel quite hard,

yeah, mightn't be much fun, it's difficult.

The wide gate and the broad path is the yard

for “slaughter”; that's not saying it's their fault...

but nearly all us critters choose that road!

The narrow gate, the hard way, leads to life,

There's few that find it, many have been slowed

to stopping point, and feel like they're in strife.

And so they are, the way to go is ON.
“Be ON your guard, & ON the lookout for

those phony prophets, looking genuine,

though dressed as lambs, they're feeding no one more

than just themselves, they're feeding on the flock.

And you can spot them by their actions (for

no fruit of character will stay un-knocked).

You won’t find sweet grapes hanging on a thorn

bush, and you’ll never find an apple got

from saltbush or a tumbleweed, you tell

the tree by what it's fruit is (or is not).

You say “the tree is bad”, if it's fruit, well,

is not much good, and there's a case for chop-

ing down and getting rid of such a plant.

Check out their fruit, not where they sprout a lot.

For words are cheap, and can be full of cant!
