Error is alive and well
A large part of the church is doing what
It feels is right in its own eyes
We are led by a theocracy—
Our leader is both human and Divine
He is the King of Kings

Too many church leaders are intoxicated with power
Power is busy destroying many leaders
“With great power comes great responsibility”
We must avoid anarchy in the church where
Everyone wants to do as he/she pleases
God is able and we rely on the Power of His Holy Name

Jeremiah was bold before people
However, he was ‘broken’ before the Lord
Scripture gives us no indication that Jeremiah had
An audience or a single convert but God was with him
Jeremiah spoke negative words to his generation—
This is similar to our generation

Spiritual lukewarmness in our generation is common
Brokenness in religion is rare and so we must
Dare to confront our generation just like Jeremiah—
Almost everyone in Israel did not like
Jeremiah because of his message
Jeremiah was a powerful preacher
But he essential stood alone so
Let us not moan when we find ourselves alone
Let us not moan when we feel that people are
Not reading our words but let us remember
That God is looking at our work just like Jeremiah

Today, God has prepared many to speak like Jeremiah
But some have rejected the way of Jeremiah because the
Pleasures of life are to strong
However, let us hold on and let us confront
Our generation just like Jeremiah
Even if we must stand alone and even
If people don't read our words

A large part of the church is doing what
It feels is right in its own eyes
We are led by a theocracy—
Our leader is both human and Divine
He is the King of Kings
