Careless Congregation

Read:  Psalm 58 / Proverbs 17 / Isaiah 4 / Mark 1

 

Psalm 58:1 ~ Do ye indeed speak righteousness, O congregation? do ye judge uprightly, O ye sons of men?

Proverbs 17:15 ~ He that justifieth the wicked, and he that condemneth the just… both are abomination to the LORD.

Isaiah 4:2-6 ~ In that day shall the branch of the LORD be beautiful and glorious… for upon all the glory shall be a defense… a shadow in the daytime from the heat, and for a place of refuge, and for a covert from storm and from rain.

Mark 1:15 ~ The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel.

 

The congregation of the lost

Condemns those they should justify.

They do not care to count the cost

Of final judgment when they die.

 

How blindly they dismiss our Savior,

So beautiful and glorious!

How foolishly they spurn the favor

Of Christ who gave Himself for us!
