Watch Out For Snakes

By Foy Taylor



Growing up on a South Alabama farm gave me many happy and care free times to remember. Being a boy, I along with my friends, enjoyed rambling through the fields and woods when school was out and our work was done.

I was blessed with one of the sweetest, most intelligent and the prettiest ladies for a mother that God ever put on earth. Mama loved us children and she always had a list of cautions for us. I remember one that applied to me all my life. When we started out for the fields or woods, Mama always said, "Watch out for snakes". She knew woods had many water moccasins and rattlesnakes that could and did kill. But if we were alert and steered clear of them we would be okay.

Years later, as a teenage boy, I discovered another kind of snake. Had it not have been for my older brother, I would have let an older man lead me to trouble. My brother said to me. "Do not go with that guy, he is a snake in the grass". In the Garden of Eden, if Eve had known to watch out for snakes, she would not have eaten of the forbidden fruit.

Our world today is infested with very deadly snakes.

The dope pushers that try to poison our mind and body with drugs are snakes.

Anybody that suggests you use tobacco products is a snake.

Anybody telling you that it is all right to drink alcohol is a snake.

Anybody that deals in or displays pornography is a snake

Anybody that tells you it is okay to have sex out of marriage is a snake.

Anybody who tells you that perverted sex is good is a snake.

Any body that tells you gay sex is clean and natural and not a sin is a snake.

Do not let any snake tell you that morals are old fashioned, out of style, or that in these modern times it is all right to do these things.

GOD says it is a sin. Modern times do not change our lord or his word.

In the Bible it is written in the book of Hebrews - Chapter 13 Verse 8 - Jesus Christ the same yesterday and today and forever.

DO you know Jesus Christ?

Are you saved from your sins?

In the book of John - Chapter 10 Verse 13 - says WHO SO EVER shall call upon the name of the LORD shall be SAVED. Whosoever means YOU, and ME. It means ANYBODY.

Romans - Chapter 3 Verse 23 - say: All have sinned and come short of the Glory of GOD.

If you are sorry for your sinful past and have a desire to change (which is repentance) just pray the following prayer.

DEAR GOD, I realize I am a lost sinner. I believe JESUS CHRIST died for my sins. Here and now I trust him as my SAVIOR. Forgive me for my sins, cleanse my heart and save me in Jesus' name.
