Lazy hands make for poverty.
–Proverbs 10:4 (NIV)–

¹² The Lord said to Satan, “Very well, then, everything he has is in your power, but on the man himself do not lay a finger.” Then Satan went out from the presence of the Lord. ¹³ One day when Job’s sons and daughters were feasting and drinking wine at the oldest brother’s house, ¹⁴ a messenger came to Job and said, “The oxen were plowing and the donkeys were grazing nearby, ¹⁵ and the Sabeans attacked and made off with them. They put the servants to the sword, and I am the only one who has escaped to tell you!” ¹⁶ While he was still speaking, another messenger came and said, “The fire of God fell from the heavens and burned up the sheep and the servants, and I am the only one who has escaped to tell you!” ¹⁷ While he was still speaking, another messenger came and said, “The Chaldeans formed three raiding parties and swept down on your camels and made off with them. They put the servants to the sword, and I am the only one who has escaped to tell you!” ¹⁸ While he was still speaking, yet another messenger came and said, “Your sons and daughters were feasting and drinking wine at the oldest brother’s house, ¹⁹ when suddenly a mighty wind swept in from the desert and struck the four corners of the house. It collapsed on them and they are dead, and I am the only one who has escaped to tell you!”
–Job 1:12-19 (NIV)–

Blessed is the one who perseveres under trial because, having stood the test, that person will receive the crown of life that the Lord has promised to those who love him.
–James 1:12 (NIV)–

John Calvin, Sermons on Job, 3 vols (Banner of Truth, 2022).

Jesus said to fear Him who
Can destroy both soul and body in Hell
John said the wicked will be tormented
Day and night forever and ever

And so my faith was grounded
On the reality of Hell
And the power of the Cross
For salvation and holiness

But then I met a man
He said God wants all men to be saved
He said Jesus died for the sins of the whole world
And so even if people die without Christ
They’ll go to Heaven

He also said there might not even be a Hell
And that Jesus was just kiddin’
That the hellfire in the Bible isn’t real
But that it’s just a word picture

He also said when we die
We might just not exist anymore
He said who knows
Maybe murderers are changed into men of God

He believed that way for twenty five years
He told me not to believe in Hell
But I saw him just the other day burnin’
As I looked down from glory

AMEN.
–J.B.–

Not given to wine, no striker, not greedy of filthy lucre;
but patient, not a brawler, not covetous.
–1 Timothy 3:3 (KJV)–

Do the work of an evangelist,
make full proof of thy ministry.
–2 Timothy 4:5 (KJV)–

Ye shall receive power,
after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you:
and ye shall be witnesses unto me.
–Acts 1:8 (KJV)–

He spake boldly in the name of the Lord Jesus,
and disputed against the Grecians:
but they went about to slay him.
–Acts 9:29 (KJV)–

When I say unto the wicked, O wicked man, thou shalt surely die; if thou dost not speak to warn the wicked from his way, that wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at thine hand.
–Ezekiel 33:8 (KJV)–

O Lord, I have heard thy speech, and was afraid: O Lord, revive thy work in the midst of the years, in the midst of the years make known;
in wrath remember mercy.
–Habakkuk 3:2 (KJV)–

They were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance…And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams.
–Acts 2:4, 17 (KJV)–

JWs say Jesus is the Archangel Michael
And failed to predict his return five times
That you earn your salvation by witnessing
And that you can’t say the Pledge of Allegiance

Mormons say Jesus is Satan’s brother
By magic rituals and polygamy
They say you can become a god of a planet
And that all churches are abominations

Christian Science says the world is the Matrix
That there is no Trinity
And Jesus wasn’t pierced for our transgressions
And if you go to the Reading Room, you’ll get better

My Bible says God became a man
And his name is Jesus Christ
And he stood in the place of sinners
To remove their guilt and send the Holy Ghost

No amount of failed end time predictions
Or preachin’ against the Pledge of Allegiance
Or polygamist Mormon gods of planets
Or Matrix ideas will ever change that
