Called to Contend

Read:  Psalm 53 / Proverbs 4 / Deut. 2 / Titus 2 

 

Psalm 53:4 Have the workers of iniquity no knowledge? … They have not called upon God.

Proverbs 4:19 The way of the wicked is as darkness: they know not at what they stumble.

Deuteronomy 2:24,25 Rise ye up… begin to possess it, and contend with him in battle.  This day will I begin to put the dread of thee and the fear of thee upon the nations.

Titus 2:13,14 Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Savior Jesus Christ; who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works.

 

Have all the people gone insane

Who fear not God and are not humble?

They treat the Gospel with disdain;

Their way is dark in which they stumble.  

 

Rise up!  We dare not merely cope;

The Lord has called us to contend,

For Christ shall come! That blessed hope

Which He has promised has an end.
