Ravenhill Quote

“Though swordless, these soldiers of Christ fought the might of imperial Rome and won…

Unlettered they unblushingly declared the whole counsel of God and eventually staggered the intellectual Greeks.”

Is God your true Audience?

The greatest audience is not a packed auditorium (humans)

but

the “Audience” of the Triune God – The Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

DON’T FORGET TO SING

Take your stand with words stout and strong

Against perceived and actual wrong

Blast the watch-trumpet loud and long

But don’t forget to sing.

 

Write your booklet or your tract

Marshall every “fact-let” and fact

Be both punctual and exact

But don’t forget to sing.

 

There’s no harm in a firm stand

In pronouncements precise, yet grand

In having a rather heavy hand

If you still, with luster, sing.

 

Much good has come from vocal prose

Backing not though nose to nose

By opposing all narrow-way foes

But don’t forget to sing.

 

Chorus

Sing of God’s salvation full and free,

Sing of Pentecost without gold or fee,

Sing “once though blind, now I see.”

Saints ought oft to sing!

Sing of grace to meet each trial,

Sing of love in the hardest mile,

Sing of Heaven’s up-coming smile.

Sing! God’s holy people sing!

– eab, 1/26/06
