When an attempt was made by both Gentiles and Jews, with their rulers, to mistreat them and to stone them, they learned of it and fled to Lystra and Derbe, cities of Lycaonia, and to the surrounding country, and there they continued to preach the gospel.
Acts 14:5-7
Gospel wisdom compels us
to proclaim Jesus
everywhere
Unafraid of the consequences
the saving message
we will share
Gospel wisdom tells us
to preach Jesus
every day
Recognizing opposition
works against us
we watch and pray
Gospel wisdom advices us
when threats are
near our attention
Wisdom guides us to
preach still but
under God’s protection
Gospel wisdom then
recognizes when
to move on
Keeping our witness going
to new places
God has shown
Gospel wisdom will respond
to danger still
trusting Jesus
We can live fine under threats
always knowing
His grace frees us
