SITTING ON THE FENCE? <\/p>\n

As each new year continues to pass,
\nThe choice becomes that more clear,
\nYou are either walking in God\u2019s light,
\nOr lost in Satan\u2019s darkness and fear.<\/p>\n

There is currently a great war raging,
\nAlthough not known or seen by men,
\nIt\u2019s a terrible battle for our very souls,
\nWhich will end only God knows when.<\/p>\n

The war is fought with words & thots,
\nTo influence what we\u2019ll each believe,
\nWe can place our faith in God\u2019s Word,
\nOr allow Satan our minds to deceive.<\/p>\n

For people who have not yet chosen,
\nIt is quite certain their day will come,
\nThe time for just sitting on the fence,
\nWill most assuredly at last be done.<\/p>\n

For God will truly sift each one\u2019s soul,
\nThat He may know what lies therein,
\nNow if you have wisely chosen Christ,
\nThere will be forgiveness for your sin.<\/p>\n

But those who have rejected the light,
\nShall be subjected to God\u2019s great ire,
\nBecause if they\u2019ve refused to repent,
\nThey will be cast into a hot lake of fire.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
