There are those who would say,
"Do not fret over evil, Gods Will shall be done
Don't lose any sleep, it may be what's best for the church
Sometimes the wicked do prosper, sometimes ungodly men rule
Keep your thoughts on things above,
We should pray.....but not fight
We should vote..... but not campaign
We should be concerned....but not fast
We can have a burden....... but not a zeal
With those apathetic church members I do not agree
To those complacent bench warmers
I would have to say;
John the Baptist lost his head because he complained of the
immorality of the king
Ehud buried his dagger into King Eglon’s belly because
the king was evil in the site of the Lord
Martin Luther was put on trial and imprisoned because
he stood against his leaders immorality
John Bunyan spent most of his adult life in prison because
he boldly stood against evil
The pilgrims risked their very lives in their fight to live in a society where the God of Creation could be worshiped freely
The church and our nation rests upon the shoulders of men who gave life and limb for the cause of righteousness
Who would be so bold and stupid not to acknowledge
Gods sovereign will in all things
Who would be so ignorant and lazy to use that as an excuse
to not fight against the evil in this world
May God have mercy on us all
