Don’t preach this!

…and when they had called in the apostles, they beat them and charged them not to speak in the name of Jesus, and let them go.

Acts 5:40

Some men are afraid

of the power of the name

of Jesus.

They will intimidate

and then discriminate

against us.

They will persecute

and will prosecute

His people.

But God will let us go.

The world has fear and hate

for the change the gospel makes

in sinners.

The power used against us

will never stop Jesus

or expansion.

Let them rage on

His kingdom builds on

persecution!

Yes, God will help us grow!

The world wants us silent

and threatens with violent

prohibition.

The gospel will still be taught.

More sinners will still be bought

in redemption.

They scream: “Don’t preach this!”

We bravely follow Jesus

our Master.

His “well done” is what we will know.
