Men worship political correctness; true curse of Babylon,
Accepting all religions now, lest it offends someone,
Lord they have blasphemed, the true meanings of Your word,
Scriptures have been altered, to mean things quite absurd,
They teach there is no sin now; no-one has gone astray,
And there is no need for Jesus, a ransom price to pay.
Man now says that Genesis, is only just a myth,
That You never created animals, on the day of the fifth.
Bold preachers are a rarity, who would die preaching the cross,
Instead we have false teachers, babbling heresies and dross;
The gospel of Christ crucified, they now no longer tell,
Why should there be a savior; for there in no fiery Hell.
Devine and Holy Scripture, would in latter days be mocked,
The foundations of Your Church, would be unfathomably rocked,
We are inundated with new courses, and secular books to read,
Few now savor your divine word, and its truths therein to heed.
But Jesus Christ upon that cross; He bled and died for me,
MY Free gift of grace from God; Sacrificed on Calvary,
He suffered hanging there; my sins upon his shoulders,
Plus the sins of all mankind; the weight of a million boulders.
He saved me on that fateful day, from eternal life in Hell,
I am now saved from damnation, and I can witness well,
Of Someone who loved me so; He would even die for me,
My Jesus Christ and my Lord; Sacrificed to set men free.
The truth is that same Jesus Christ; Who suffered death upon a tree,
God resurrected from the grave…and now… He’s coming back for me.
It's an interesting write regarding faith and how holy scriptures have been polluted to match needs and designs of elites and to adjust to changed realities. It's not anything new, all that has fullfilled the purpose, has to wither. It's just a part of the process, old has to give way for something new. See it from this angel and you'll feel less agitated. Faith is a great gift but we need to use it cleverly. If everything moves according to divine plan then why these degraded times should be any exception? Your wrte is showing that you're conscious of that what's going on, greetings for that reason!

your true words have touched me. The world has always been astray, but it is not meant for evil to triumph. And it seems Alf that you are incapable of writing anything but beauty =) [sounds bad if u read that fast but it means u always write beauty> to those of short temper]
Powerful, your words soar up high along with your faith - even the written word is not safe in the mouths of men - they manipulate believers then there is war - hold on strongly to faith
very very nice and the truth speaks........... the flow really spells the truth....
