Witness

Philippians 1:8 New English Translation (NET Bible)

For God is my witness that I long for all of you with the affection of Christ Jesus.

 

Witness

 

“Do not my words do well to him who walks uprightly?”

Simple truth made factual ... a formula that always works

It is not the common sin to be so divided

and that in our actual compromise always lurks

 

Black and white without grey ... you are against or for Jesus

There is no in between in the Spirit’s call

The Spirit is not restricted and our doings are our own

and such responsibility is ours after all

 

If we call ourselves Christians and state we’re part of Him

Then every time we compromise we take some of God’s Glory

Not that we’re really able to do this very thing

but in our witness before man we take truth and distort it
