ACROSS THE BOW<\/p>\n

by Bill Kochman<\/p>\n

10-12-2018<\/p>\n

Oh the ungodliness,
\nIt’s all around I see,
\nPeople doing wickedness,
\nRefusing to bend a knee.<\/p>\n

And so much haughtiness,
\nThey blaspheme His name,
\nSo little fear of God,
\nBut it’s not just a game.<\/p>\n

Evildoers are everywhere,
\nBoasting of their sin,
\nFlaunting their rebellion,
\nBut He won’t let them in.<\/p>\n

Darkness spreading rapidly,
\nThe flame is going out,
\nPeople have no interest,
\nIn what God’s Word is about.<\/p>\n

So blinded by the Devil,
\nFleshly lusts now abound,
\nTry to give them warning,
\nThey don’t want you around.<\/p>\n

A wake-up call is coming,
\nOur time is growing short,
\nHow will you even plead,
\nStanding in His great court?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
