Pollution 2


 

2 Peter 2:20 

20 For if, after they have escaped the pollution of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, they are again entangled in them and overcome, the latter end is worse for them than the beginning.

 

Am I judgmental? For goodness sake I am

To see truth polluted is offensive to me

I know I cannot keep it but that does not justify

For me to change truth itself to put my conscience at ease

 

Is it not a single action if an individual falls?

Is it the trend of times that let compromise slip in?

Demeaning the values that God put into place

Forever to remain unchanged where Holiness is woven in

 

Adultery creeps constantly at every door

If not in the physical surely in spirit’s stance

Powers of darkness think that for ever more

they can take your Christ’s inheritance
