Justify

Matthew 12:34 

34 Brood of vipers! How can you, being evil, speak good things? For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks.

 

Down and out

 

Freedom of speech what does it encounter ... prevent truth at any cost?

Just straight forward without consideration to everyone you meet?

This really should not be done ... surely not with the lost

For that is beyond recognition of these, the ones in need

 

But to the claimers whose Christianity is embossed

As a label of religion without designated feet

One should confront straight the ones here endorsed

To live Salvation’s message as an example of God’s speed

 

Can one be rude in presenting the truth as the only force?

To the children of perdition who are hypocritical indeed?

Jesus called them vipers as they stood in Temple’s court

To justify through works the by self-misunderstood creed
