Preaching and Persuading

Read:  Psalm 12 / Proverbs 19 / Ezekiel 6 /2 Cor. 5

 

Psalm 12:3 ~ The LORD shall cut off all flattering lips, and the tongue that speaketh proud things… Who have said, With our tongue will we prevail… who is lord over us?

Proverbs 19:27 ~ Cease, my son, to hear the instruction that causeth to err from the words of knowledge.

Ezekiel 6:7 ~ And the slain shall fall in the midst of you, and ye shall know that I am the LORD.

2 Corinthians 5:11 ~ Knowing therefore the terror of the Lord, we persuade men; but we are made manifest unto God; and I trust also are made manifest in your consciences.

 

We hear the bluster of the proud

Who arrogantly mock the Lord,

Yet every knee shall yet be bowed

To Jesus Christ whom they ignored. 

 

While false instruction does not cease

To flatter sinners with its error,

We preach the Gospel of God’s peace,

Persuading men to flee from terror.
