Continue in the faith

Haiku responding to 2 Tim 3:14 - 4:5


Continue in faith,

that which you learned and believed

from your youngest days.


All your life you've known

sacred writings that instruct

about salvation.


Scripture is inspired

by God. It instructs, corrects,

leads to righteousness.


As a child of God

you should be well trained, equipped

for ev'ry good work.


Proclaim the message

with persistence. Be patient,

and encouraging.


With time, sound teaching

will be shunned; people will choose

teachers that please them.


Many folk will turn

from truth, preferring easy

lies and foolish myths.


Live truly, endure

suffering, share the good news,

fulfil your calling.
