What good was it to be a “popular Joe”
When ghastly death, life’s final unfriendly foe,
Gives you that nasty, odd nod, and you most go?
Did popularity keep death far away?
Was it so fair, it kept death at distant bay?
Did fame make death late for even one more day?
The well known die as do the many unknown.
The grim reaper comes for every seed that’s sown.
He, the product of sin, claims each as his own.
Death knows the address of the rich and the poor.
Knows each cell phone number, each palatial door.
Finds its victims on the first or the fifth floor.
Preparation for death is not fleeting fame,
Not to have acquired a saucy house-hold name,
Not to have piled up gold, silver (all the same).
One has suffered death for all, poor and well-to-do.
Christ is your only hope when death comes soon, for you.
Christ is all you’ll need when death’s door you pass through.

Sin as an act must be forgiven; sin as a principle must be cleansed.
– R G Flexon, Rudiments of Romans (Indianapolis: Pilgrim Publishing House, 1952), 17.
Native timidity is no sign of a lack of grace, and native boldness is not sign of any degree of grace.
– R G Flexon, Rudiments of Romans (Indianapolis: Pilgrim Publishing House, 1952), 41
Actions may be colored by circumstances, early training, mental attitudes or physical ability, while the intentions are perfectly pure.
– R G Flexon, Rudiments of Romans (Indianapolis: Pilgrim Publishing House, 1952), 42.
Conscience, which is largely influenced by education, cannot always be trusted…
– R G Flexon, Rudiments of Romans (Indianapolis: Pilgrim Publishing House, 1952), 49.
Someone may ask, “Did not Daniel resist the powers of his day and disobeyed the king’s decree?” No. He chose penalty rather than obedience, because there was a moral issue at stake.
– R G Flexon, Rudiments of Romans (Indianapolis: Pilgrim Publishing House, 1952), 52.
Richard G. (Gant) Flexon was born this date (6/18/1895). He was a preacher, writer, and man of prayer, with a wide influence in the Pilgrim Holiness Church of his day. He passed away 4/19/1982.
