A fitting poem for the 1-9-1 contest.

~Sin...

earns lost souls conflagrant pyres of Hell

doomed~

the image goes so well with your short well worded with the correct syllables

Good luck in the contest.

Thanks so much, Jackarrie. I'm very happy that you enjoyed reading this one. It is a bit dark, but, then again, so is sin. Thanks again for the very thoughtful review.:)

The wages of sin is death but thanks be unto God for making a way for forgiveness to be accepted and new life to begin. Well done with your entry, Buck

Thanks, Trybuck, and I agree. Thank goodness we have a legitimate chance to make amends, and seek forgiveness. The alternative is too scary to even contemplate.

I really appreciate your review, Buck!:)

Thanks so much, Jean. Yeah, I'll bet if they did hand out leaflets like this, it might cause many people to sit up and take notice, for sure, LOL!

Thanks so much for the exceptional review, my friend.:)

Your 1-9-1 directs the reader to the bible to find that hell awaits those not saved through the acceptance that Jesus lived and died for the salvation of mankind. Nice use of a poem.

This gets to your inner man and hits you where you feel condemned sometimes before you can even speak your peace and make things right again.

Wonderful entry with great presentation and an inspirational message (though scary). Any entry that sends the message of Jesus is wonderful in my book. Thanks for sharing.
