Sung to the tune of "Onward Christian Soldiers".
Backward Christian soldiers, fleeing from the fight,
With the cross of Jesus nearly out of sight.
Christ, our rightful master stands against the foe,
But forward unto battle we are loathe to go.
Like a mighty tortoise moves the Church of God,
Brothers we are treading where we’ve always trod.
We are much divided many bodies we,
Having many doctrines not much charity.
Crowns and thorns may perish kingdoms rise and wane,
But the Church of Jesus hidden does remain.
Gates of hell should never ‘gainst the Church prevail,
We have Christ’s own promise but we think that it will fail.
Sit here then ye people join our useless throng,
Blend with ours your voices in a feeble song.
Blessings, ease, and comfort, ask from Christ the King,
With our modern gospel, we don’t do a thing.

Frank - when are you going to post the next installment of your comments on fear? Looking forward to reading it.

I'm currently working on it and hoping to have it in the blog soon. On vacation so it will be a nice time to get it done. Just want to cut the Word of God straight and be careful what I write. Thanks for the encouragement.
Sad but true. Have you read the book of the same title by Gary North?
No I have not. I love to read...I should look into it. What is the synopsis of the book?
Frank - come on, man: when are you going to update this post! We're all waiting....
If you don't update soon, I'm taking it off my "bookmarks." :-)
