Written By Daryl Stout
2) The Great Commission that Christ gave, has been set aside.
Members don't want to offend, they're full of sin and pride.
Feel good sermons, tickling ears, that is what they tell.
The Laodicean Church is alive and well.
3) They feel that it's outmoded, the concept of sin.
Any true believers there, will not be let in.
To preach ''Full Counsel Of The Lord'', of that, they must quell.
The Laodicean Church is alive and well.
4) These are neither cold nor hot...but they are lukewarm.
They are content just like this; to them, that's the norm.
To the doctrines of the world, all these, their souls, sell.
The Laodicean Church is alive and well.
5) Bible standards of this church, long ago, went south.
Christ nauseated, He will vomit, these out of His Mouth.
It's as if they are immune, to this gagging smell.
The Laodicean Church is alive and well.
6) ''I'm rich, acquired all this wealth, and don't need a thing''.
They will all be terrified, at Judgment, God will bring.
From the heights of pleasing God, this church quickly fell.
The Laodicean Church is alive and well.
7) Judgment there, it must begin, in House Of The Lord.
For His Word is sharper than any two edged sword.
Cries for mercy are ignored, from loud cry and yell.
The Laodicean Church is alive and well.
8) Satan is thrilled with this church, they believe his lie.
They feel Heaven's owed to them, the moment that they die.
They have shrunk from what they were, to a puny shell.
The Laodicean Church is alive and well.
9) Everything that God declared an abomination.
They removed it from their sermon, with this explanation:
''We are more enlightened now; the old stuff, expel''
The Laodicean Church is alive and well.
10) They want all the offering plates, there to overflow.
So the doctrine of the world, is the way they go.
With the prideful sin they have, all the egos swell.
The Laodicean Church is alive and well.
11) They feel sin, repentance, doctrines; all of them, so crude.
They can't see they're poor, blind, wretched, pitiful, and nude.
They're all in for horrid shock, at ringing of death bell.
The Laodicean Church is alive and well.
12) Going through the motions there, no commitment, done.
Lip service only granted there, to Jesus, God's Son.
Living truly for The Lord, none of these, excel.
The Laodicean Church is alive and well.
13) God, being a Gentleman, will let them have their way.
They'll be at The Great White Throne, there on Judgment Day.
At the moment when they die, they'll plunge into Hell.
The Laodicean Church is alive and well.
14) ''We prophesied, cast demons out, did good things in Your Name''.
Too late, they realize, that they, are the ones to blame.
They fell for the siren song, of the Devil's Spell.
The Laodicean Church is alive and well.
15) ''Depart from Me, into The Fire; for you, I've never known''.
Words of terror for all these, from Christ on His Throne.
Just words of condemnation, to this Church, The Lord, did tell.
The Laodicean Church is alive and well.
16) ''Come out of her, My People, now; so plagues, you won't receive''.
''Repent of sin, and come to Christ; on Him, now believe''.
Only places are your death, are Heaven or Hell.
The Laodicean Church is alive and well.
