Biblically oriented poetry that is intended to encourage, build faith and draw believers into more of a love for God's Word. This poem expresses how God intially draws us unto Himself and plants our feet on the path of righteousness and what it means to unlock the keys to going further in our walk with Him.
No longer relevant in our world, the Church cries out in disbelief.
Pleasing the whims of our cultures, She stands weakened without voice.
No longer preaching sound doctrine, She stands in fear, intimidated.
Compromising truth for the sake of being relevant, the enemy laughs.
Caught in a web of deceit and mistrust, She cries out for relief.
Filling the Church with his lies, those with itching ears give ear to his voice.
With truth no longer boldly proclaimed, Christians do what's right in their own eyes.
Satan laughs as he readily fills the vacuum as the Church abdicates.
Forsaking truth for lies, like the Pharisees of old, error comes into play.
With illiteracy of the Scriptures, the power of God no longer profits.
Falling into the deceit of Satan, Scriptures are wrested for whatever benefits.
Fear of controversy dilutes the truth, giving heed to a false way.
As the way is paved for the antichrist spirit, the Church is dumbfounded.
Is this not a time to arise with the belt of truth and the armor of light?
Where is the voice of the Bride calling for repentance and truth, so valiantly?
Where are the apostles and prophets who speak unwavering truth, so candidly?
Where is the voice of the remnant church that will lead with ferocity and might?
Where is the unity that will draw us together with one voice, collectively?
Is this not a time for the Church to be the pillar and ground of all truth.
As the Church takes her stand for truth, Satan will have nowhere to stand.
His lies and deceit will be known to all, as there is no truth in him to be dispelled.
Multitudes who took up his war cry will now turn to the war cry of truth.
Doctrines of demons and the mouths of deceiving spirits will be quelled.
In the end, the gates of Hell will not prevail as Jesus builds His Church.
Let us purpose in our hearts to be a part of all that Jesus is building.
Let us join our hearts together in unity as we seek to quell the enemy's voice.
As the glory of the Lord rises upon us, let us bask in His love and power.
For the Lord God Omnipotent reigns overall! Nothing is too difficult for Him.
