"He that, being often reproved, hardeneth his neck, shall suddenly be destroyed, and that without remedy" (Proverbs 29:1). "Beware, therefore, lest that come upon you, which is spoken of in the prophets, Behold, ye despisers, and wonder, and perish: for I work a work in your days, a work which ye shall in no wise believe, though a man declare it unto you" (Acts 13:40,41).
We live in a day when the deaf have dominion;
No view will suffice but their own,
Selectively muting all but their opinion
No matter how clearly they're shown.
They harden their necks; they cannot be turned
From the path of their ultimate harm.
The Gospel that pleads for their souls they have spurned;
They are deaf to the Gospel's alarm.
The prophets foresaw this fearful condition
When many would simply not hear.
Refusing God's peace, they are choosing perdition,
Too deaf and indifferent to fear.
What more can we say? What more can we do,
Than to plead with the lost to beware?
Help us, Oh Lord, that we may break through
By Your Spirit, Your Gospel, and prayer.
