I thought I would provide you with another sermon by the old hardrockers of Black Sabbath today, I would say that they are not quite as bad as their reputation has them!
An oldfashioned turn-or-burn-preacher couldn´t have done this better!
We seldom hear this kind of straightforward message nowadays, not even from the pulpit, but it is said that if we Christians don´t speak the message of God, then the very stones will shout it!
Here it is, their sermon, based, as it seems, on 2 Cor 4:4 and 2 Thess 2:9-12!
”You’re searching for your mind, don’t know where to start
Can’t find the key to fit the lock on your heart
You think you know, but you are never quite sure
Your soul is ill, but you will not find cure
Your world was made for you by someone above
But you choose evil ways instead of love
You made me master of the world where you exist
The soul I took from you was not even missed…”
Lord of this world
Evil Possessor
Lord of this world
He’s your confessor now!
”You think you’re innocent you’ve nothing to fear
You don’t know me, you say, but isn’t it clear?
You turn to me in all your wordly greed and pride
But will you turn to me when it’s your turn to die?”
As I said, these here lyrics are quite a sermon! What is said in them is t´s all true.
We were made by Someone above, and this beautiful world was made for us by this same Someone.
And He wants us to love Him and one another.
And if we choose evil ways of greed and pride instead of the Lord´s double commandment of love, then we also choose to serve the devil.
We make him lord of our world, lord of our lives.
We trade the love of God for the cruelty and hatred of His enemy.
Striking a deal like that is poor choice and bad business – and you wouldn´t do that, would you?
