God's Minute by Dr. Benjamin Mays
I've only just a minute,
Only sixty seconds in it.
Forced upon me, can't refuse it,
Didn't seek it, didn't choose it,
But it's up to me to use it.
I must suffer if I lose it,
Give an account if I abuse it,
Just a tiny little minute,
But eternity is in it.
Explanation :
The poem for me is all about Salvation. Salvation is free. Not by our own good works, God gave it by His grace through our Faith that no one can boast.
From the beginning we are created by God in his own image. But the disobedience of Adam and Eve made sin to be planted in man's heart.
And God is a merciful and loving Father. He loves us so much that He gave His one and only son, Jesus Christ, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have Eternal Life.
So, now that we are saved by the blood of our Lord Jesus Christ, a minute in walking with God is the first step to start, don't lose it, don't abuse it. It is our duty to be worthy of God's calling that we have received. We have sixty seconds per minute to fulfill our destiny as a Christian - Be disciple and make disciples. Make every seconds count. You have now the power to claim what is yours as an heir to the Kingdom of God. Make one good thing that you can do every second, in a minute it will be sixty good deeds that will make your Faith Alive! Pray for one friend you want to receive Salvation per second, in one minute you can bring 60 people whom you love to Jesus Christ! Our God is an awesome God!
"For we are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do Good Works, which God prepared in advance for us to do." (Ephesians 2:10 NIV)

There were different types of religions: Gods religion: they believe in thousand of gods Sacrifices: they sacrifice people for the gods because the Incas believe that the gods were angry
They were in origin the gods of the land, sea, and sky, and they were created to explain the 'why' of the natural world.
They invented Greek gods and goddesses to explain things that happened in nature. For example when an earthquake happened they would blame it on the Minotaur ( a giant half bull half man). They would say the minotaur was angry and making the ground shake.
