The servant of the Lord must not strive, always speak with gentleness and respect, the wrath of man displeases God, the proud look, the brother who sows discord, what else? Ah yes–the sin of bitterness. All very good reasons not to “cry aloud, spare not, lift up thy voice like a trumpet, and show my people their transgression” (Isaiah 58:1), signs that the Holy Spirit has filled you to “love righteousness and hate iniquity” (Hebrews 1:9). You’ll be rewarded by traveling executive salesmen! And many good looking women! No sir, you’re just the typical lukewarm pastor, with a seared conscience (Revelation 3:16). –J.B.
CARNALITY!
When he had made a scourge of small cords, he drove them all out of the temple, and the sheep, and the oxen; and poured out the changers’ money, and overthrew the tables; and said unto them that sold doves, Take these things hence; make not my Father’s house an house of merchandise.
And his disciples remembered that it was written,
The zeal of thine house hath eaten me up.
–John 1:15-17 (KJV)–
Ye sorrowed after a godly sort, what carefulness it wrought in you, yea, what clearing of yourselves, yea, what indignation, yea, what fear, yea, what vehement desire, yea, what zeal, yea, what revenge! In all things ye have approved yourselves to be clear in this matter.
–2 Corinthians 7:11 (KJV)–

The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be TORMENTED WITH FIRE AND BRIMSTONE in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb: And THE SMOKE OF THEIR TORMENT ASCENDENTH UP FOR EVER AND EVER: and THEY HAVE NO REST DAY NOR NIGHT.
–Revelation 14:10-11 (KJV)–
The devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone,
WHERE THE BEAST AND THE FALSE PROPHET ARE,
and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.
–Revelation 20:10 (KJV)–
Where THEIR WORM DIETH NOT,
and THE FIRE IS NOT QUENCHED.

Blessed is he who has got
His transgressions forgiven
And his sins hidden
Blessed is the man whom the Lord
Do not ascribe misdeeds
And is without deceit in his spirit
Buried it deep inside
But soon a sprout came forth
It kept on growing
I couldn’t hide
When I kept it to myself
Slowly my bones corroded
And my vitality vanished
Like in the summer dry
Too many people living this life
Who can take their guilt away?
Their minds are rotting
And causing endless pain
Soon they are demented and put away
I confessed my sins to You
And did not hide my guilt
I said “I want to confess my
Misdeeds to you”
And he took my sins and guilt
He is my sanctuary

GET RIGHT WITH GOD NOW!
–J.B.–
This time, I think you pointed right at you
Whose side are you on?
Whose side are you on?
I ask you what side, you pointed it out
Whose side are you on?
Whose side are you on? Get out
A waste of time if you don’t believe
Can’t decide to hit the ground
Make your mind
But you’re holdin’ me down
And over again
Down
And over again
Down
This time I think you pointed right at you
Whose side are you on?
Whose side are you on?
I ask you what side, you pointed it out
Whose side are you on?
Whose side are you on?
A waste of time if you don’t believe
Can’t decide ’til you’ve hit the ground
Make your mind
Or you don’t believe
Can’t decide ’til you hit the ground
Make your mind
‘Cause you’re holdin’ me
Down
And over again
Down
And over again
Down
And over again
And don’t think that I don’t know
Because I do, nice try
‘Cause that’s what you really like, like, like, like
Lights all dim out, you said
Say somethin’ else
Decide, whose side you’re on
Whose side are you on?
Whose side are you on?
Come on!
Whose side are you on?
Whose side are you on?
Whose side are you on?
Whose side are you on?
Whose side are you on?
