Somewhere between “God Give Us Christian Homes”
And “Holy, Holy, Holy”
The devil and his minions entered the small rural
worship
What had been a small gathering of Godly saints
Evil ransacked with yelling, bitter tears, and
division
In the interlude, there was a “Golden Anniversary”
It was perfect follow up to God Give us Christian
Homes
The Golden Couple bubbled with joy sharing their
wisdom
The small congregation honored them with song and
smiles
Sunday School was the conversion of Saul
The church motto, “Showing What God Can Do” echoed
Men discussed issues and had prayer oblivious of Evil
Innocence and ignorance reared it two-faced head
Special celebration of the Golden couple was a secret
Evil used the occasion to fuel the sin of jealousy
Calm turned to storm, love turn to scorn, and disunity
Tears of celebration became tears of hurt and shame
The flames of hell lapped and an evil coldness
engulfed
The men exited their prayer into frozen animosity
The pastor entered the Holy warfare with partial armor
As he waited and prayed, he sang Holy, Holy, Holy
It’s words and theology rang out as still God reigns
Satan disrupted using the sins of the congregation
Repentance is the key and forgiveness is powerful
God is Merciful and Mighty
Forgive us God for allowing evil to use us
