"Horrible" Christian Lyrics Robbed A "Christian" Man Of His Faith!?!

So What Did He Say?!

He Said That A Terrible Lyric
In A Worship Song
Drove Him Away From Christianity!

Come On!
A Song Can't Make You Lose Your Faith!

If You Say So!

Look At This!
This Is The Lyric He Found
Egregiously Offensive:

"Let Our Song
Be Like Sweet Incense
To Your Heart!"

What's Wrong With It?!

If He Hated That
I Guess He Also Hates:

Yeah, Though I Walk Through The Valley
Of The Shadow Of Death
I Will Fear No Evil For Thou Art With Me!
Thy Rod And Thy Staff They Comfort Me!


Wait A Minute!
Don't You Realize That There Is More To This
Than His Hating The Lyric?!

First,
If He Was Reading His Bible
He Would Have Recognized The Reference!

Second,
Our Faith Is Not In Christianity!
It Is In Christ Jesus
With Whom We Have The Widow's Mite Relationship
Ignoring
Who Has What
What Who Has
How Who Gives
AND
Who Gives How!

Jesus Says:

Come Unto Me
All Ye Who Labor
And
Are Heavy Laden
And I
Will Give YOU Rest!


If Your Faith Rests
On A Denomination Building
Charismatic Pastor
Popularity Wealth
Rich Congregation Pipe Organ 
EXpensive Vestments
Song Lyric Hot Band 
Exotic Bass Guitarist
Singing Ability
Entertainment Possibilities
Camaraderie Canned Prayers
AND
Confessional Booth
Which Can You Turn Away From The Holy Jesus
You Ain't Never Had No Relationship With Him
In The First Place!

We Are ...

Saved By Grace!
Saved By Faith!
Saved By Christ Jesus
Who On The Cross
Took Our Place!

In The Living Word
It Is Clearly Stated ...


Come Let Us Reason Together!
I AM Your God!
Believe Me When I Tell You Truth!
My Life For Your Life
Is What Will Save You!



The Prodigal Son
Wanted To Walk Wayward
So He Asked For His Future Gift
AND
Spent His Promised Stable Future
On His Wishful Fluxxed Present
AND
Ended Up Eating Pig Swill!

In The Day That He Realized
That The Father's House Was Home
He Pointed His Heart And His Feet
Homeward!
His Renewed Faith Walked With Him!
He Did Not Walk Alone
AND
Soon
- In The Distance -
The Son
- That Same Prodigal -
Saw His Father Running His Way
AND
In That Hour
- That Moment -
It Was As Though He Has Not Been Away!

There Was A Warm Embrace
A Kiss Of Love
To Break The Stony Heart
Turning It To Flesh!
A Bath To Wash Away The Dirt
The Stench Of Sin
To Make The Outward Clean!
A Ring To Designate Belonging
To The Royal House Firm Standing!
A Beautiful Robe
To Celebrate The Heart Anchored
AND
The Lost Soul Returned Home
AND
A Feast
With Singing And Rejoicing
To Announce To The Saved World
That A Sinner Lost
Has Entered Again The Safe Flock
Nevermore
Again
To Roam!

Let Us Not Make Excuses
To Aid Our Walking In Rebellion's Way!
Let Us Not Make Excuses
For Why We Will Not Do What The Lord Says!
Let Us Not Make Excuses
For Pride
AND
For Disobedience
For
In The Day Of Appointment
All That We Thought
Did
AND
Said
- Unrepented Of -
Will Testify Against Us! 

There Will Be No Mercy Hook-Up!

Let Us Understand That ...

The Living God
Is Not The Author Of Confusion!
There Is No Variableness In Him!
There Is No Shadow Of Turning
There Is No Truth Turn-Back
AND
No Setting The Seeking Soul
On The Rotting Limb Nigh To Breaking!

Please ...

Put Truth In Your Inward Parts!
Let Grace Be Your Guide!
Let The Word Of God
Light
Your Way To The Heavenly Home
For It Is He Who Did
For Your Sins Did Atone!

Don't Permit Trivialities
Cost You Your Place
In Front Of Almighty God's Throne!

PRAYER: Lord, Feed Your Children ...!





Father,
You Are Love
And
You Have Promised
Never To Let Me Go
And, So
For Peace
And
Because Of Him Who Is My Peace
I Rest My Longing Soul In Thee!


Lord,
I Am Tired Of Sin
And
I Need Your Promised Rest
For, In You

My Soul Is Blessed!


I Am Hungry For You
For You Are Truth!
Please Feed Me
With Food Fit For Me!


I Have Been Walking As One Blind
And
I Need You, Lord
For You Are Light ... Guide Me!


As Goes All Mankind
And
By Your Appointing
- As The Curse For Sin -
I Am Slowly Dying
And
I Need You
For You Are Life!
Please Make Me Over
So That In The Fullness Of Time
Unto Everlasting Life
I May By Right In Christ Cross Over!


Lord, 
I Approach Unto You Boldly
- Nothing Wavering - 
Calling Upon The Merits Of The Holy Jesus
Who Took My Death
To Give Me His Life!
Please Accept The Innocent Blood
For
He Who Shed It
IS
The Beloved
The Only Begotten Son
Shiloh, Himself
The Prince Of Peace
The Shepherd Of Rest
In Whom This Believing Soul Is Blessed!


Father,
I Come For My Miracle!
I Am Expecting That Which Is Impossible
To Me And My Kind
And
I Expect It, Lord
Because You Are Almighty God
Faithful Forgiving
Blessing Correcting
Providing Guiding
Unchanging
And
Abiding!


You, Lord, Are My God
And
With A Humble Contrite
And
A Sorrowing-For-Sin Heart
I Seek To Touch The Divine
Who Has Everlasting Love
And
Great Compassion
For Wayward Wandering
Disobedient And Transgression Mankind!


Father,
Take Me By The Hand
And
Show Me Your Ways!
Take Me By My Heart
And
Teach Me The Truth!
Take Me By My Eyes
And
Pry Me Away From The Lusts
That Blind Me To Holy Light
And
Unstop My Itching Ears
And
Heal Them With The Balm Of Gilead!

Place My Feet, Lord
On Straight Paths, Narrow
And
Lead Me To The Green Pasture
Attended By Sweet Water
And
Anoint My Head With The Oil
That Is The Holy Spirit Of Truth
And
Fill My Cup Of Blessing
To Sure Overflowing!


My Mind, Lord 
Is Fixed
On That Place Called Glorious
Because
I Desire To Spend
The Never-Ending Day With You!

I Desire To See You As You Are
And
I Desire To Know You Just As You Know Me!

Until Then, Lord
Help Me To Keep The Song Of The Redeemed
In My Converted-To-Christ Heart! 
Help Me To Keep The Light Of The Glorious City
In My Healed Eyesight! 
Help Me To Hear
And
To Join In The Singing Of The Song Of Jubilee
Sung By The Hearts Of The Faithful
Those Blessed Of The Lord!
We Are The Children Believing!


Remember, Dear Father
The Other Children
In The Various Flocks 
Who Know The Voice Of Jesus Christ
And
Who Are Listening
For That Soft Voice
To Become The Loud Cry
Calling Them Out Of The Confusion
That Is Babylon!
Help Them To Deny The False Prophets
That Preach Lies!
Help Them The Evil One
To Forcefully Deny!

Please, Lord
Continue To Feed Your Children
With Food Suitable
For Their Ages And Stages
And
Ever For Their Spiritual Prosperity
And
Eternal Blessing
And
Let Not The Glitter And The Glamor Of
This Known Dying World
Ever To Us Be Anything But
Fleeting And Undesirable!


Please Let Hope
- Like Freedom In Christ - 
Be Our Song And Our Service
For
We Love You, Lord!
Lead Us Gently, Safely, Home
Even As I Ask These Few Blessings
In The Matchless Name Of
Jesus Christ The King!
Harken, Lord, And Do For Us
What Only The Holy God Can Do
For You Are The Living God
Eternal
Wise
True!
Come Soon!
AMEN.

Of Chaos And Confusion + PRAYER: I'm Listening, Lord!

Constant Chaos
Total Chaos
Men Women Children
Living Their Lives In Fear
Fearful
Of Outcomes
Guaranteed To Distress
Not Knowing How
To Get Out Of The Mess!

Who Will Call The Master?
Who Will Petition The King?
Who Will Say A Prayer Of Faith
Guaranteed An Answer
From Heaven Where
The King Of Love Is Residing?

I Will Say A Prayer!
Will You?
I Will Make A Petition?
Don't You Have One Too?

He Does Not Hear Me!
My Life Is Too Vile!
I Have Ceased Praying -
My Stomach Is Filled With Bile
Because I Know That He
Will Not
Cannot 
Save A Wretch Like Me!

Not True, My Brother
My Sister!
Not Close To The Truth, My Friend!

We Have An Advocate
- Christ The Righteous By Name -
In Whose Hands
By Whose Blood
We May Approach The Father
Seeking Relief
From Lives
Lived Like Lice
Eating Anything Warm
Because It Appears Choice
BUT
Jesus - The Savior
The Creator
Man's Best Friend
Has Made A Way For Us
So That Our Prayers
Are Guaranteed
Through His Love
His Sacrifice
AND
The Holding Of His Faith
To Get An Answering!

Will You Believe That Jesus Saves?
Will You Believe That God Cares?
Will You Trust The Pardon Purchased?
Will You Cast On Christ Your Fears?
Your Cares?

Will He Really Hear Me?

Yes, He Will
IF
You Believe That He Is Who He Says He Is
AND
That He Will Do What He Says
That He Will Do!

But ...

You Must Do Your Part, Too
By Confessing Your Sin
Repenting Of Your Past
AND
By Faith
Asking The Master
To Take The Case Before The Father
On Your Behalf!

When You Confess Your Sin
He Is Faithful
AND
Just
To Forgive
AND
He Will Cleanse You
From All Unrighteousness -
Please Let Him Your Heart Enter In!

Chaos
Confusion
Pain
Sorrow
Woe
Care
Crisis
Confession
Repentance
Just Leave It All
Give It All To Jesus
AND
Of His Mercy And Grace
You Can Rest Assured
Knowing That For Your Own Soul's Salvation
The Holy Spirit
The Spirit Of Truth 
Will
- Of Necessity -
To Complete What Jesus Christ Has Started
Be Imparted!

And That Lost Soul 
In Prayer ... Cried:


Oh, Lord,
Please Hear Me!
I Am Calling Out To You!
I Want No Other God But You, Lord
This Is Now My Truth!

I Have Been Wayward
A Wanderer
Pig-Headed
Even Abstruse Wicked
Wild And Often Loose!

I Confess My Sin!
I Repent - Forgive Me!
I Desire The New Start
That The Old Word Ever New
Says
That You Can Give Me!

I Come As A Child - Teach Me!
Help Me To Walk In Right Ways
And, Lord
I Am Now Listening
I Will Walk With You
If You Will Attend Me
On This Life's Hard And Trying Pathways!
In Jesus' Name, I Humbly Plead
Make This Old Goat A Brand New Lamb
For I Now Know
That None Other But You
Can!
AMEN.

Welcome To The Family!

Babel Bakes Broth And Beacons!


They Stood Side By Side

Babel Bakes Broths & Beacons
Wines Most Precious

In Back Of Store

AND
Just Jesus
Plain Word Spoken

Water Of Life Distilled!


Their Products Are Disparate!
The Clientele Likewise!
One Is Profitable!
One Profits By Selling
- At A Lost -
What Will Cost The Purchaser
His Life!

Babel Bakes Broth & Beacons
Is A Mess Of Confusion!
Lights!
Cameras!
Action Non-Stop!
The Owner Is Liar Collusion Delusion
 - The Devil Himself -
AND
His Rancid Image
Is Lifted Up
High
On The Top Shelf!

That Is Not Possible!

Whose Story Is This?!
Mine Or Yours?!

Sorry! Sorry, Sir!
It's All Yours!

In That Case
I Shall Continue!

All The Evil
That Is In The World
Is Here
Compliments Of Satan Himself
That Liar
The Murderer
The Dragon
Once An Angel Of Light
Now Fallen
AND
Flush
With Greed 
Lust
Hate
False Hope 
AND
Spite!
These Are Just A Few High Points
AND
If I Continue
We Will Be Here Right Late!

I Hear You!
A Man Can Relate!

All That Is Good In The World
Comes From The Lord Christ Himself!
Faith Truth
Love Hope
Grace Caring
Sharing
Peace Understanding
AND
Even How In Life To Cope!
This Bit Is Just A Little Of
The Blessed Christ's Scope!
But ... I Digress!

Just Jesus
Gives Bread To All
From Heaven's Bakery!
Fresh Hot
Good To Taste
AND
- With Clean Conscience -
Easy To Handle
BUT
Sadly
Only A Remnant Of The Buying Multitudes
Visit There
And Many
Only After
Buying The Best Fare
From Babel Bakes Broth & Beacons!
The Despair!

The Wine!?

The Wine!

The Bread Baked At Babel
Is Sweetly Beastly
And Burst-Bubble Holes Yeasty!
The Broth Has Brambles Of Strife 
AND
Bitterness
For A Base!
The Beacons Are Jury Rigged
To Cause One To Run Aground
On Hard Rock
AND
The Wine Has Spirits Of Contention Galore
AND
Trouble 
Always Always Always Follows
A Purchase From
THAT Store!

Designed For The Destruction
Of The Lord's Little Flock
Babel Bakes Broth & Beacons
Actually
Really Seriously
Give Away Their Wines
For Free!

You Lie!

Nope!

Their Business Practice Is
A Model
No  ... The Model Of 
Non-Transparency
Perfect To Kerfuffle
Every Tom Dick And Harry
Who Is Not Looking
Looking To The Lord Christ
But Is Open
Available
Ripe To Be Taken
By The Putrid Posy Of The Satanic Device!

Wine Is A Mocker!
Strong Drink Is Raging
AND
All Who Follow Babel
Will Be By The Holy God Forsaken
If

They Will Not From Sleep
Be Shaken!

Dark Speeches
Influence One 
To Dig Into God's Business
Where None But Christ
Reaches
Is The Call By Babel
Urging All
Against God
To Be Perfectly Callous
AND
To Hold On To Earth
Like
Blood-Sucking Leeches!

They Just Want To Be Internet Famous!

I Know That You Jest
BUT

You Are True
AND

Many Men
Myriad Minds
Have Common Sense Eschewed
AND
Out On The Breaking
Wood Ants-Infested Limb
Find Themselves
Exposed
AND
In Their Nakedness Shaking!

Perish The Thought!!

Perish The Thought?!
People Are Perishing
For They Less-Count God
AND

Are With The Devil
Cohabiting!

Even I Know That That Is A Bad Idea!

The Very Worst!
The Curse
Cannot Be Reversed
If
Through Wilful Wastefulness
Man
- Minding Satan -
Ends Up In
The Lord's Bonfire
For Those Who Love Unrighteousness!

Choose You
Today
Whom You Will Serve
Whose Food You Shall Consume
Whose Blessing
Whose Curse!

Just Jesus
Is Not Proud!
He Offers Full Disclosure
Saying
That By Living Right
AND
Doing Right In God's Sight
God Himself
Will
Men's Battles
Fight!

That Sounds Like A Really Good Deal!

It Is The Best Deal
Ever Placed Before A Mere Human
Beloved Of His Maker
For
It Is Providing Salvation
To All Who Desire It
AND
It Is Done
Because Of Love
AND
Because
Just Jesus
- He Who Is Also Called
The Holy Son Of God
The Only Son Of Man -
Can!

I Don't Know About You
But I'm Accepting The Offer!
I'm Thankful For The Extended Hand!

Smart Man! Smart Man!

Complacency Con & Contempt Com!


Angels
Cannot Remain Where People
Do Not Want
Jesus Christ's Presence
AND
Do Not Notice
His Absence!


They Were Cussing!

Nothing To Lose!
Last Ditch Effort!
Nothing To Gain!
Going All In!
No Turning Back!
Moving Forward!
Stop Looking Back!
                                     Why?
How?
                     If?
                                                      What For!
I Should Have Known!
You Never Cared!
Selfish!
Idealistic!
Unbending!
Unyielding!
You Don't Understand!
You Don't Love Me?!
I Hate You!
I Pity You!

They Never Raise Their Voices!
- Loud Voices Are Despised! -
They Use Complete Sentences
AND
They Want To Sever All Ties!

They've Known Each Other Forever!
Complacency!
Contempt!
BUT
That Is Proving Problematic
For
Where Ever Complacency Went
Contempt
Energetically Followed!
That Is How Their Time Is Spent!

Stop Following Me!
Stop Calling Me!

You're Such A Mellow Fellow!
It's Amazing How With Life You Cope!
You Take All Things For Granted
And You Look To Be Sauced Up
And Ever Always On Dope!

I Can't Say The Same For You!
You're Always Snide
Even Angry!
You Say Everyone Is Beneath You
And You Are Always Looking
For The Least Excuse To Vent!
You're So Twisted That You Are Bent!

Brethren,
So In The World
So In The Church
Is Complacency
Is Contempt!

A Complacent Christian
Is One Who
- Ultimately -
Will Hold Jesus Christ In Contempt!
This Is The Truth Of The Gospel
AND
Reliable
And So I Can Promise You!

An Analogy Is In Order:

Two Things That Are Not Complacent
Are
Jello And Hot Tea!
Jello Is Cold!
Hot Tea Is, Well, Hot!

Revelation's Laodicean Church
Is Representative Of
Our Church's Behavior Today
Which Is Lukewarm
Complacent
AND
Taking For Granted Its God
AND
This Church
- Unchanged -
Is Decidedly Marked
For
The Spewing Out!
AND
This, Dear Ones, Is A Call Out!

Those Laodiceans
They Have Need Of Nothing!
They Are Increased With Goods!
They Talk Of The Lord!
They Walk With The Devil
AND
They Don't Even Realize
That Jesus Christ
AND
The Holy Angels
Have Departed
Their Well-Heeled, Rising, Neighborhood!

Theirs Is Not A Teachable Spirit!
They're Into Platitudes
Seminars
Retreats
AND
Wiseman Sage Gurus
AND
They Have Not The Required Time
True Gold
Eye Salve
Nor Clean White Raiment
To Purchase From The Living, Loving, Lord
For
Wittingly Unwittingly
They're In The Pay Of The Fraud
AND
All The World
- Suitably Appalled -
Can See
Their Naked Short Backs
Indented Sides
AND
The Unmentionable Portions
That They Can't Cover Up
AND
Definitely Can't Hide!

Awareness
Is A Must
To Avoid Complacency!
Choke Complacency
AND
Contempt Will Dead Be!

I Am Asking My Jesus
To Keep Me In The Realm Called Aware
AND
To Engender In Me
A Sense Of Urgency
So That Christ's Condemnation
Of Me
Will Not Ever Be My Fear!

Complacency
AND
Contempt
Are Completed
By Condemnation
AND
Those Condemned
Are Damned
AND
Cast Into 
The Eternally Lost
Conflagration!

Please Do Not Allow
Lack Of Care
AND
Consideration
To Cost You 
Your Christ-For-Me Commission
For
There Is Nothing
Too Big Too Small
That We Can't Carry To God!

If God Is God Don't Abuse Him!
If You Are God
Please Know That You Will Lose
For
You Can't His Will
Nor His Way
Ever Hope To Deflect
Or
Confuse!

Flowers Look Up
AND
The Birds Give Vent To Their Praise
Of Our God
AND
So The Question Must Be Asked:

"What Is Our Excuse?!"

For Not Cheerfully Loving
AND
Doing For Our God The Same!

We For Whom Is Prepared
The Great Reward
Of The Everlasting Day
Need To
Call To Jesus!
Walk To Jesus!
Talk To Jesus!
Think On Jesus!
Go With Assurance To Jesus
AND
Just Be ... With Jesus
AND
Do It Daily
Moment By Moment
Gladly
AND
Stop Behaving
Self-Righteous
AND
Acting Out So Badly!


Complacent Contempt
AND
Contemptuous Communication
Are Fruit
From
Satan's Poisoned Planting Ground!
Please Avoid Them
At All Costs
Or
In The Day Of Jesus Christ
Be Assured
That You Will Be Eternally Lost!

Count The Costs
And
Humbly
Passionately
Trust The Lord Jesus Christ
And
Give Satan And His Kind
The Get-Thee-Behind-Me
Get Lost Toss!
