This three-part series explains God’s Plan of Salvation by Grace through faith in the Blood Atonement of Jesus Christ by His Sacrifice on the Cross. It explains that righteousness cannot be obtained not by the works of the Mosaic Law.
Oh friend, you’ve just got to love MAD,
I’m not talkin’ ’bout the old magazine,
I mean “Mutually Assured Destruction”,
Where there is no one left to be seen.
Oh yeah, everyone gone in mere seconds,
As a bright cloud rises in the skies,
All those pols kept talkin’ ’bout peace,
But it was all just their deceptive lies.
They all had smiles etched on their faces,
As they kept speaking to the other side,
But in their hearts they prepared for war,
Yeah, those jerks just deceived and lied.
Sure, “Peace, peace!” they kept on saying,
There’s no need for us to have any fears,
Yet everything is now so amazingly bright,
And then that great heat wave hits my ears.
I didn’t even have seconds to really think,
Nor was there any time to register the pain,
As strange gray flakes fall from the skies,
I’ve become a part of the radioactive rain.
Billions of other folks are all just like me,
One minute we were here and then we were not,
While the elites hide down in their bunkers,
I truly hope that in Hell they will all rot.
None of those who died ever asked for this,
We simply wanted to live our lives in peace,
But constant greed and hunger for more power,
Meant that humanity’s wars would never cease.
Then finally the fools pushed the darn button,
Everyone everywhere must’ve seen a huge flash,
Now we gently and slowly settle to the ground,
We are just a nondescriptive part of the ash.
If you are going to teach God’s Word,
Please make sure you’re doing it right,
Comparing scripture with scripture,
And be led by the Holy Spirit’s light.
But to your own human understanding,
No, you should not ever dare to lean,
For if by error you choose to do this,
It won’t be what those verses mean.
Yet sadly we see in our current time,
That this is what so many people do,
They twist and pervert God’s Word,
Beware friend that you don’t do it too.
There are now a lot of false doctrines,
Being taught by many misguided men,
Folks who should not even be teaching,
They need to learn Bible basics again.
Yes, they’re so puffed up in their pride,
When they really know nothing at all,
They’re deceiving and being deceived,
And causing God’s young sheep to fall.
There is so much doctrinal confusion,
Brethren all caught up in some debate,
They need to stop and come to realize,
Sowing discord God does truly hate.
“Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and DO COUNT THEM BUT DUNG, that I may win Christ,” Philippians 3:8, KJV
“Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.” 1 John 2:15-17, KJV
“For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?” Mark 8:36-37, KJV
“And the devil, taking him up into an high mountain, shewed unto him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time. And the devil said unto him, All this power will I give thee, and the glory of them: for that is delivered unto me; and to whomsoever I will I give it.” Luke 4:5-6, KJV
“For Demas hath forsaken me, having loved this present world, and is departed unto Thessalonica; Crescens to Galatia, Titus unto Dalmatia.” 2 Timothy 4:10, KJV
“For if after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein, and overcome, the latter end is worse with them than the beginning. For it had been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after they have known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered unto them. But it is happened unto them according to the true proverb, The dog is turned to his own vomit again; and the sow that was washed to her wallowing in the mire.” 2 Peter 2:20-22, KJV
“By faith Moses, when he was come to years, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh’s daughter; Choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season; Esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures in Egypt: for he had respect unto the recompence of the reward. By faith he forsook Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king: for he endured, as seeing him who is invisible. Through faith he kept the passover, and the sprinkling of blood, lest he that destroyed the firstborn should touch them.” Hebrews 11:24-28, KJV
“But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.” 1 Corinthians 2:9, KJV
Sometimes we are in such a hurry,
We really want to get things done,
We are anxious to see the results,
Instead of walking we try to run.
Then when things just don’t happen,
Discouragement soon comes our way,
We sink into a pit of our own making,
Did we listen to what God has to say?
You see, God is in no great hurry,
He takes His time to effect His Will,
Instead of getting bent out of shape,
We need to trust Him and then be still.
Yes, it’s true we must do what we can,
We must exercise faith and do our part,
But trying to push in our own strength,
My friend, it really isn’t being smart.
So just commit your way unto the Lord,
And do what you can obviously do,
Then sit back in confidence and faith,
Knowing that God will see you through.
While all of the verses in this set of graphics are discussing the ancient, stubborn, rebellious Israelites who repeatedly backslid against the Lord, and fell into deep apostasy, they could just as easily be talking about modern America, or any other modern nation which has heard the Gospel, and yet continues in rebellion against the Lord and His holy Word. Repent, because your day of reckoning is coming!
