A PIG IS A PIG 🐷

A pig is a pig
Even if you clean him up
For when you turn your back
On garbage he will sup.
Rooting in the mud
Amidst the muck and mire,
A pig is a pig
No matter how attired.
He only does what’s natural
Through the leading of his heart;
A pig is a pig
From filth he can’t depart.
And sin is sin
Though attractive it may be;
All the paint and glitter
Can’t hide a thing from Thee.
When in our hearts we know what’s right
Yet choose to go our way,
To God it is rebellion
We have sinned and disobeyed.
Sin is sin
Even if we rationalize
Sin can not be hidden
From our Maker’s eyes.

Inspired by Pastor Merle L. Mitchell’s message given in the morning service 9/26/1999 and the words spoken: “A pig is a pig no matter how you dress him up.”
2 Peter 2:22
“But it is happened unto them according to the true proverb, The dog is turned to his own vomit again; and the sow that was washed to her wallowing in the mire.”
James 4:17
“Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin.”
