"The simple believeth every word: but the prudent man looketh well to his going" (Proverbs 14:15).
Beware of gullibility
That masquerades as godliness:
We dare not think naivety
Is like the faith that God will bless.
The simpleton believes each word
And will not search with diligence,
While prudence weighs what she has heard
Against God's massive evidence.
Yes, evidence of things not seen
Is based on what our God has shown.
The Word of God on which we lean
Is by that evidence made known.
The evidence in prophecy,
The resurrection from the grave,
Establishes for you and me,
The faith by which our God will save.
Beware: there is no true salvation
Within a faith that's dead and blind.
Faith invites investigation,
And satisfies the heart and mind.
