And That's a Fact

They say they’re this,

They say they’re that,

But lies they tell,

And that’s a fact.

Manipulate

The people, too,

And twist the truth,

‘tis nothing new.

Control’s their thing,

What they desire,

The hypocrites,

Truth not require.

Embellish truth,

Or simplify,

But truth be told

They do deny.

For they are devils

In disguise,

Who masquerade,

Walk in their pride.

Their goal now is

To folks deceive,

In hopes the lies

They now believe.

So, watch for them.

Do not be fooled.

Don’t see the hook

Which you then pull.

But discipline

Yourself to pray

For wisdom to

Spot who betrays.

State of The Union

Quote from President Donald Trump’s State of the Union Address on February 5, 2019:

“My Administration has acted decisively to confront the world's leading state sponsor of terror: the radical regime in Iran.

“To ensure this corrupt dictatorship never acquires nuclear weapons, I withdrew the United States from the disastrous Iran nuclear deal. And last fall, we put in place the toughest sanctions ever imposed on a country.”

Quote from President Obama’s Cairo Speech on June 4, 2009:

“This issue has been a source of tension between the United States and the Islamic Republic of Iran. For many years, Iran has defined itself in part by its opposition to my country, and there is in fact a tumultuous history between us. In the middle of the Cold War, the United States played a role in the overthrow of a democratically elected Iranian government. Since the Islamic Revolution, Iran has played a role in acts of hostagetaking and violence against U.S. troops and civilians. This history is well known. Rather than remain trapped in the past, I’ve made it clear to Iran’s leaders and people that my country is prepared to move forward. The question now is not what Iran is against, but rather what future it wants to build.”

Quote from “They Rise Up,” Friday, April 21, 2017:

“What we, especially as Americans, need to understand, and we all need to pray about this, is that Revelation 13 is being fulfilled right now, in our time, and that America is the harlot (Babylon) which rides the beast, but is hated by the beast, and he will destroy her when he is finished using her. We are not the good guys and humanitarians going around the world rescuing people, well our government is not. We are the terrorists of the world who are going around the world killing at will, murdering innocents, terrorizing people, taking over sovereign nations, pillaging, raping, stealing and destroying property and human lives. Our news media is owned by this New World Order and so they report only what they want the people to believe. We finance, equip and train terrorists. N. Korea, Iran and Syria are not the ones we need to fear, although we should not fear anyone but God. The US government, under the authority of this N.W.O. beast, is doing all this stuff and then blaming it all on others.” (Author, Sue J Love, Christsfreeservant)

The article speaks truth. His last sentence may seem terribly harsh and may offend some or all Christians, but he points out the absolute truth about the hypocrisy of the USA and their leaders who profess faith in Jesus Christ but who go around the world killing whoever they want, conquering nation after nation, stripping them of their natural resources, and lying about what they are really doing, and all for the rule of the beast, i.e. the New World Order.

So, Christians, please do not disregard what I have shared with you as a “conspiracy theory.” Instead, please take all this to the Lord in prayer. Seek God in this. Ask him to open your eyes to the truth of what is going on in the USA and in their actions that they habitually take in nations all throughout the world. Ask him to show you where you are blinded to the truth of what is going on, and to open your eyes to the truth before it is too late. 

And please, if you have not already, listen to the following song, not for entertainment purposes, and not to hear a great singer, for it is neither. But pay attention to the words and to the images and to what they represent, for they tell the story of the evil actions of our government and their allies, all of which are leading to the rule of the beast and this New World Order. And let God open your minds to the truth of who the US government truly is.

Husbands, Love Your Wives

About a month ago I joined Substack, an internet site which is presently open for people to write and to express their beliefs, thoughts, and opinions on various subjects. One of the writers, a man, is presently encouraging men in how they should treat their wives. And that has inspired me to write, from a woman’s perspective, and from a biblical perspective, what that should look like if men who are married truly love their wives as they ought. So I am going to quote some selected passages of Scripture on this subject.

I am reading in Ephesians 5 in the NASB1995 Bible translation.

“Therefore be imitators of God, as beloved children; and walk in love, just as Christ also loved you and gave Himself up for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God as a fragrant aroma.” (vv. 1,2)

“But immorality or any impurity or greed must not even be named among you… For this you know with certainty, that no immoral or impure person or covetous man, who is an idolater, has an inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and God.” (vv. 3,5)

“Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself up for her… So husbands ought also to love their own wives as their own bodies… nourishes and cherishes it, just as Christ does the church… For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and shall be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh.” (vv. 25,28,29,31)

Presently, we live in a day and age when sexual immorality has not only skyrocketed, but it is being normalized and accepted and even catered to within the gatherings of probably the vast majority of what are called “churches” here in the USA. And this involves not just men, but women, children, and pastors of church congregations who are engaged in sexual immorality, specifically in addiction to pornography. Predominantly it is men who do this, and men are the ones who are to lead their wives spiritually.

So, because this is being normalized in our society and within many of the gatherings of “the church,” and not much is being done biblically to bring this to a halt (see 1 Corinthians 5:1-13), this is so widespread that it is destroying marriages and family relationships and the minds and hearts of young children, all of whom (or most of whom) have free access to the internet via smartphones, often which are not being regulated or monitored, or are being monitored only slightly, with work arounds for smart minds.

So, for husbands to love their wives as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her, the first step has to be the forsaking of all sinful habits via genuine biblical repentance, via confession of sin and the asking for forgiveness, and then surrendering their lives to Jesus Christ to now do his will and to obey his commands and to live holy lives, pleasing to God. Christ must now be Lord of their lives and no longer their sinful flesh, and their wives have to be top priority in their lives, next to God, in unity with her.

For a husband’s role is not to be domineering and to rule harshly over his wife, but he is to lead her by example in what it looks like biblically to be a follower of Jesus Christ. And he is to give his life up for her, to do for her what is for her good, and what is loving, kind, thoughtful, understanding, compassionate, generous, caring, forgiving, honest, and faithful, joined together with her as one flesh, one unit, not to be separated by lies, adultery, abuse, and misuse, but as though they are literally one person. 

So, as a woman who is 76 years old, married to the same man for 53.5 years, a mother of 4 (+4), the grandmother of 14 (+2), and the great-grandmother of 2, and who has been serving the Lord with her life most all of her life (with a short time of moral failure a very long time ago), I am going to give some of my own counsel to married men in how they should treat their wives with honor, value, and respect, being loving, patient, kind, compassionate, and tenderhearted, in unity with her as one flesh.

1. If she wants to talk, listen to her undistracted, paying close attention

2. If she gets something wrong, don’t treat her like she is stupid

3. If she has a suggestion or some counsel to share, listen to her

4. If she all of a sudden wants to go somewhere, take her if you can

5. If she has a job or a ministry, share with her in household chores

6. If she asks how you are doing spiritually, be honest with her

7. If she has some godly counsel for you, accept it gratefully

8. If she begs you to stop cheating and to be faithful, do it lovingly

9. If she feels threatened by competition, don’t mock her, honor her

0. In everything that you do, love her as Christ loved the church

Trials Which Test Our Faith

I am reading in Job, chapter 23, and I will summarize his situation:

 

Job was a righteous and God-fearing man. But God gave Satan permission to test him. And then most all of his servants, and his livestock, and all of his children were put to death. But Job’s response was, “The Lord gave and the Lord has taken away. Blessed be the name of the Lord.” And through all this Job did not sin nor did he blame God. But Satan was not finished with Job. So next he smote Job with sore boils from the sole of his foot to the crown on his head. Yet in all of this Job did not sin with his lips.

 

At first his friends had compassion on him, and they sat silent with him for seven days and seven nights. But Job was in such pain and suffering that he now wished he had never been born. And then his friends began accusing him falsely that the reason all this calamity had come into his life had to be that he had committed a grievous sin against God. But Job denied that he had sinned against the Lord, and he asked them to show him how he had sinned, if indeed he had sinned against God as they accused him of doing.

 

Although we do not know the exact number of days (I don’t, anyway) that Job suffered, it apparently was not short-lived. And his friends continued to try to prove to him that his suffering had to be a result of sin in his life. And that only served to increase Job’s suffering. And I do know what it is like to suffer emotionally, mentally, and physically, due to many things which I have had to endure over my lifetime. And I do know what it is like to be accused falsely of what I did not do, too. So I empathize with Job in his suffering.

 

And what is the worst of the worst is when we feel as though God is not there, when we can’t hear him speaking to us in our minds and in our hearts, as though he is silent when we need to hear from him the most. And that is where Job was:

 

“Behold, I go forward but He is not there,

And backward, but I cannot perceive Him;

9 When He acts on the left, I cannot behold Him;

He turns on the right, I cannot see Him.

10 “But He knows the way I take;

When He has tried me, I shall come forth as gold.

11 “My foot has held fast to His path;

I have kept His way and not turned aside.

12 “I have not departed from the command of His lips;

I have treasured the words of His mouth more than my necessary food.

13 “But He is unique and who can turn Him?

And what His soul desires, that He does.

14 “For He performs what is appointed for me,

And many such decrees are with Him.

15 “Therefore, I would be dismayed at His presence;

When I consider, I am terrified of Him.

16 “It is God who has made my heart faint,

And the Almighty who has dismayed me,

17 But I am not silenced by the darkness,

Nor deep gloom which covers me. (Job 23:8-17 NASB1995)

 

More than once I have been accused of something I did not do, and by some pastors and elders. And I am not claiming that I have led a perfect life. I had my down time. But I am speaking of times when I was walking in obedience to my Lord, as I am now, and when I examined my own heart before the Lord, and in the study of the Scriptures, and I knew without a doubt that the accusations against me were false. And so I spoke in full honesty in my own defense only to be treated with disdain and rejection and disbelief, in return.

 

And during such times as these it can feel as though we have been abandoned by God, when we cannot hear him, and he appears to be silent. And that can be very unsettling. Many times I have prayed, “Lord, let me hear your voice!” And sometimes he remained silent, for it was to test me. And other times I did hear his calm reassurance that I am safe in his hands. And he gave me the courage to speak in my own defense, much like the apostle Paul and Peter and John and others spoke in their own defense.

 

But we must be very careful in times like these, when we are being tested, that we do not lose faith, and that we do not become bitter and angry. There were times in my life when I did respond that way, which was wrong. It was sinful. But I repented, and God forgave me. And he got me back on the right path. So, be careful when you are being tested that you don’t fall. Be careful when you can’t hear God that you don’t deny him and run away from him out of fear. Keep the faith! And keep obeying our Lord until the very end.

 

[Matthew 5:10-12; Matthew 10:16-25,34-39; Matthew 24:9-14; Luke 6:22-23; Luke 12:49-53; Luke 21:12-17; John 15:18-21; Ephesians 6:10-20; Revelation 6:9-11; Revelation 7:9-17; Revelation 11:1-3; Revelation 12:17; Revelation 13:1-18; Revelation 14:1-13]

Why so downcast, O my soul,

And why so disturbed now within me?

Put your hope in Jesus Christ,

For I will praise His name.

Storms and tempests sweeping o’er me.

Still I’ll praise His name.

By day the Lord sends forth His love.

In the night His song is with me.

I pray to the God of my life.

I will praise His name. I say to God my Rock,

“Why must I be called to suffer this way?”

Foes attack me; Satan sneering.

Still I’ll praise my God.

Put your hope in Him.

 

As a deer pants for the waters,

So my soul pants for You, O God.

My soul thirsts for God who’s living.

When can I meet Him?

My tears have been my food at night,

When men say, “So, where is your God?”

I pour out my soul to my God.

I’ll still praise His name.

Shout with joy to Him.

Trials Which Test Our Faith

God is The Strength of My Heart

This psalm is in the Old Testament, and yet it teaches us what is taught us in the New Testament, under the New Covenant, as well. 

“Whom have I in heaven but You? And besides You, I desire nothing on earth.” (Psalm 73:25 NASB1995)

Our trust should not be in other humans. We should not depend on other humans, no matter who they are, to tell us the absolute truth about anything. For not everyone tells the truth. There are many liars and deceivers among us whose goal it is to lie to us and to deceive us and to misrepresent the truth in order to deliberately lead as many as possible to believe the lies and to reject the truth. So we need to be students of the Scriptures who study them in their correct biblical context so that we are learning the truth, and so God can reveal to us any lies we are believing.

God – Father, Son Jesus Christ, and Holy Spirit – should be the one we look to for truth, and not other humans, and not history books, and not politicians, and not the news media (not even the alternative news media), and not pastors of church fellowships, etc., many of whom are lying to the people. Following the Lord Jesus with our lives, and obeying our Lord’s commands, should take top priority in our lives, as well. For how we live our lives should be led by the Spirit of God and not by our human flesh. And our desires should be God’s desires. And his ways should be our ways. 

“My flesh and my heart may fail, But God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.” (Psalm 73:26 NASB1995)

We who believe in Jesus Christ to be Lord and Savior of our lives should be those who have been crucified with Christ in death to sin, and raised with Christ to walk in newness of life in him, no longer to live as slaves to sin, but as servants of the Lord and of his righteousness, in walks of obedience to his commands in holy living. Sin should no longer be what we practice, i.e. what we keep going back to as a dog returns to his vomit. But we should be followers of Jesus Christ who are living to do his will because we love Him.

But as those who still live in flesh bodies, we are works of God in process, and that process will not be complete until Jesus returns for his faithful ones and he takes us to be with him for eternity. We are still clay in the hands of the Potter (God), being molded to the image of Christ, as we cooperate fully with God’s work of grace in our lives. But that does not make us perfect. And, yet lack of perfection should never be used as an excuse for continued, deliberate, and habitual sin against our Lord. We must obey God in practice.

“For, behold, those who are far from You will perish; You have destroyed all those who are unfaithful to You.” (Psalm 73:27 NASB1995)

This is not just Old Testament teaching. This is what Jesus and his apostles taught us in the New Testament, as well, under the New Covenant. For faith in Jesus Christ is not something we just profess with our lips while we continue living however we want, doing what our sinful hearts desire. Faith, which is biblical, and which comes from God, and which is gifted to us by God, and which is not of our own doing, but which is persuaded of God, requires that we deny self, die to sin daily, and follow our Lord in obedience.

And the New Testament teaches us that if we do not follow our Lord in obedience, and if we continue walking in deliberate and habitual sin against our Lord, and so we are unfaithful to God, and if that is where we remain, that we will not have salvation from sin, and we will not inherit eternal life with God, regardless of what we profess with our lips. For faith = obedience, and disobedience = unbelief. So all who make sin their practice, and not obedience to God, will not inherit eternal life with God. God says so!

[Matthew 7:13-14,21-23; Luke 9:23-26; Romans 6:1-23; Romans 8:1-14; Galatians 5:16-24; Ephesians 2:8-10; Ephesians 4:17-32; Ephesians 5:3-6; Titus 2:11-14; 1 John 1:1-10; 1 John 2:1-6; 1 John 3:4-10; Acts 26:18] 

As the Deer 

By Martin J. Nystrom

Based off Psalm 42:1

As the deer panteth for the water

So my soul longeth after You

You alone are my heart's desire

And I long to worship You

You alone are my strength, my shield

To You alone may my spirit yield

You alone are my heart's desire

And I long to worship You

False Gospel vs True Gospel

“So then, brethren, we are under obligation, not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh— for if you are living according to the flesh, you must die; but if by the Spirit you are putting to death the deeds of the body, you will live. For all who are being led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God.” (Romans 8:12-14 NASB1995)

Many people today are teaching a half-truth (lie) gospel which is being produced via blending truth and lies together, and via taking Scriptures out of their correct biblical context to make them teach what they do not say if taught in the appropriate biblical context. They appear as truth, because the statements used are quoted from the Scriptures. But when deliberately used out of context they can teach what is false, and much of this is being done today deliberately by “wolves in sheep’s clothing,” out to deceive the people.

Many are teaching that a verbal confession of Christ as Lord is enough to secure them salvation from sin and eternal life with God, regardless of how they live, even if they continue living in deliberate and habitual sin against God. They teach that no works are required of them, while they claim that their inheritance with God is still guaranteed. And they don’t believe that their habitual disobedience and the ignoring of God’s commands will ever separate them from Christ, since they claim to be of faith in Jesus Christ.

And, yes, it is true that salvation, i.e. deliverance from sin’s control over our lives, is by the grace of God, through God-gifted faith in Christ, and is not of human flesh, not by the works of the flesh. But “we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand so that we would walk in them” (Ephesians 2:8-10). And God’s grace, which is bringing us salvation, is training us to renounce ungodliness and worldly passions and to live self-controlled, upright, and godly lives (Titus 2:11-14).

And faith is the Greek word “pistis” which means faith, faithfulness, fidelity, pledge, persuasion, and moral conviction of God’s truth. For the believer in Jesus Christ it means to be persuaded of God as to his righteousness and holiness, and of our sinfulness, and of our need to die to sin and to obey God and his commands (New Covenant), by the grace of God, in the power of God. For this faith comes from God, and it is not of ourselves, so it is divine persuasion as to what God prefers which is the persuasion of the will of God.

For Jesus Christ taught that to come to him we must deny self, take up our cross daily (die daily to sin), and follow (obey) him. For if we hold on to living in sin and for self, we will lose our lives for eternity. But if we deny self, die daily to sin, by the Spirit, and we walk in obedience to our Lord and to his commands, in his power, then we have eternal life with God. For not everyone who calls him “Lord” will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one DOING (obeying) the will of God (see Luke 9:23-26; Matthew 7:21-23).

For by God-gifted faith in Jesus Christ, which is not of our own doing, we are crucified with Christ in death to sin and raised with Christ to walk in newness of life in him, no longer to live as slaves to sin but as slaves to righteousness in walks of obedience to God’s commands. We are no longer to permit sin to reign in our mortal bodies to make us obey its desires. For if sin is what we obey, it results in death. But if obedience to God is what we obey, it results in sanctification, and its end is eternal life with God (see Romans 6:1-23).

And we learn in 1 John 1-3 that if we claim that we have fellowship with God, but yet we walk in darkness (sin), we are liars. If we claim that we know God, but we do not obey his commandments, in practice, we are liars. For it is not the one who claims he is “in Christ” who is “in Christ,” but it is the one who has denied self, died with Christ to sin, and who is now walking in obedience to our Lord and to his commands, in practice, and no longer in sin. We have the hope and the promise of eternal life with God in heaven.

So, this is what it looks like if we believe in Jesus Christ in truth. It is not something produced by a profession of faith only, which does not result in biblical repentance, dying to sin daily, by the Spirit, and walking in obedience to our Lord’s commands. And “In Christ” means we have died with him to sin and we are now walking in obedience to his commands, in his power. It doesn’t make us perfect, but if sin is what we practice, and if obedience to God is not our practice, we will not have salvation and eternal life with God. 

[Matthew 7:13-14,21-23; Luke 9:23-26; John 1:12-13; John 6:44; John 10:27-30; Acts 26:18; Romans 1:18-32; Romans 2:5-10; Romans 6:1-23; Romans 8:1-14; 1 Corinthians 10:1-22; Galatians 5:16-24; Ephesians 2:8-10; Ephesians 4:17-32; Ephesians 5:3-6; Titus 2:11-14; Hebrews 3:1-19; Hebrews 12:1-2; 1 Peter 2:24; 1 John 1:1-10; 1 John 2:1-6; 1 John 3:4-10]

Realizing He died on a tree,

So that from sin you could be set free,

Should bring you down upon bended knee,

Realizing that He loves us so,

Which is why, to the cross He did go,

Is what leads us to salvation free,

God's Chosen People

Jesus Christ said to the unbelieving Jews, “Therefore I say to you, the kingdom of God will be taken away from you and given to a people, producing the fruit of it.” (Matthew 21:43 NASB1995)

“That is, it is not the children of the flesh who are children of God, but the children of the promise are regarded as descendants.” (Romans 9:8)

“Now the promises were spoken to Abraham and to his seed. He does not say, ‘And to seeds,’ as one would in referring to many, but rather as in referring to one, ‘And to your seed,’ that is, Christ. (Galatians 3:16)

“And if you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham’s descendants, heirs according to promise.” (Galatians 3:29)

“…His purpose was to create in himself one new humanity out of the two, thus making peace, and in one body to reconcile both of them to God through the cross, by which he put to death their hostility... For through him we both have access to the Father by one Spirit.” (Ephesians 2:15-18)

“This mystery is that the Gentiles are fellow heirs, members of the same body, and partakers of the promise in Christ Jesus through the gospel.” (Ephesians 3:6)

“Who is the liar? It is whoever denies that Jesus is the Christ. Such a person is the antichrist—denying the Father and the Son.” (1 John 2:22)

The physical nation called “Israel” is a political entity comprised of mostly Jews, most all of whom do not believe in the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, because they do not believe in Jesus Christ, the second person of our triune God – Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Only about 2% of the population of physical political Israel identify as Christian. So the nation, as a singular unit, does not worship the God of their ancestors, thus they are antichrist.

[Genesis 17:7-9; Genesis 18:19; Matthew 21:43; John 8:18-19,38-47; Romans 2:28-29; Romans 6:1-23; Romans 8:1-14; Romans 9:4-8,25-28; Romans 11:1-36; 1 Corinthians 10:1-22; Galatians 3:16,26-29; Galatians 4:22-31; Ephesians 2:11-22; Ephesians 3:1-6; Hebrews 3:1-19; Hebrews 4:1-16; Hebrews 8:6-13; 1 Peter 2:24; 1 John 2:22; Jude 1:5; Revelation 2:9; Revelation 3:9]  

So, according to the Scriptures, taught in the correct biblical context, all Jews who have rejected Jesus Christ as their Lord and Messiah are not biblical Israel. They are not God’s chosen people, his holy nation. Now all who believe in Jesus Christ, whether Jew or Gentile by physical birth, are God’s chosen people and heirs of the promise made to Abraham and to his seed, Jesus Christ. We are biblical Israel, the only Israel of God.

But somewhere along the line in human history someone began teaching Christians that they were to raise up the Jewish people to some kind of honorary status almost in a worshipful kind of sense to where they were convinced that the physical and political nation of Israel was still biblically God’s holy nation, his people, and a people that we should give our loyalty, devotion, and support to, as though they are still God’s chosen people.

But that is a lie. For the Scriptures do not support that. And they teach that all Jews who do not believe in Jesus Christ are the same as anyone else who does not believe in Jesus Christ, so they are the same as their Arab neighbors. And the holy city is no longer in physical Jerusalem, because the vast majority of the Jews are still living in slavery to sin and not as obedient servants of the Lord Jesus Christ (see Galatians 4:22-31).

And the temple of God has not been a physical building ever since Jesus Christ gave his life up for us on that cross, and he rose from the dead, and he ascended back to the Father in heaven, and he sent his Holy Spirit to indwell the lives of his followers. We are now the temple of God in whom God dwells by his Spirit, and Jesus is the temple of God, so there will never be another temple of God, for God does not dwell in physical buildings.

And God has only one chosen people, and that is all who have trusted in Jesus Christ to be Lord and Savior of their lives, whether Jew or Gentile by physical birth. Only through faith in Jesus Christ can any of us be God’s chosen people and his holy nation, and only if we have been crucified with Christ in death to sin and raised with Christ to walk in newness of life in him, no longer to live as slaves to sin but as obedient servants of our God.

[Matthew 7:13-14,21-23; Luke 9:23-26; John 10:27-30; Acts 26:18; Romans 2:5-10; Romans 6:1-23; Romans 8:1-14; 1 Corinthians 10:1-22; Galatians 5:16-24; Ephesians 2:8-10; Ephesians 4:17-32; Ephesians 5:3-6; Titus 2:11-14; Hebrews 3:1-19; Hebrews 12:1-2; 1 Peter 2:24; 1 John 1:1-10; 1 John 2:1-6; 1 John 3:4-10; Revelation 2:1-29; Revelation 3:1-22]

Should I Not Preach Jesus

Woe to me should I not preach Jesus.

I’m compelled to preach the full gospel.

I make myself a slave to ev’ryone

To win their hearts to Christ.

All this I do for my Lord Jesus,

And for the sake of His Name;

Do it for the sake of His gospel,

So that I, its blessings gain.

Scripture notates the sins of others;

Written down for us as examples

To keep us from setting our hearts 

On evil as did those of old.

Do not worship other gods of man;

Do not give your hearts to them;

Not partake in immorality.

Do not test your Lord and King.

So, be careful if you think you are

Standing firm in your faith in Jesus.

God has given his word to warn us, 

So through faith we will not fall.

No temptation has o’ertaken you

Except what is commonplace.

God is faithful to not let you be

Tempted past what you can bear.

He gives the way of escape.
