Six Honest Serving Men

Last weekend I preached at the Ancient Landmark Bible Conference in Lyons, GA. What a wonderful time in the Lord. Great fellowship and great preaching. We truly appreciate the hard work the people of Landmark Baptist Church put into this conference.

That being said, I was unable to post this week much and am now behind. I have had this for a while and I wanted to share it; today would be a great day for this poem. Perhaps if Christians applied this to their Bible study, and preachers to their sermons, there would be a lot less heresy.

I KEEP six honest serving-men
(They taught me all I knew);
Their names are What and Why and When
And How and Where and Who.
I send them over land and sea,
I send them east and west;
But after they have worked for me,
I give them all a rest.

I let them rest from nine till five,
For I am busy then,
As well as breakfast, lunch, and tea,
For they are hungry men.
But different folk have different views;
I know a person small—
She keeps ten million serving-men,
Who get no rest at all!

She sends'em abroad on her own affairs,
From the second she opens her eyes—
One million Hows, two million Wheres,
And seven million Whys!

Rudyard Kipling
