Rightly Dividing the Word of Truth
By Ken L Birks

Beguiled by
the enemy, truth in the streets falls
and disappears.
With seeds of
deception sown, the church cries out in
tears.
As truth
disappears, darkness settles across the
globe.
Casting his
spells of deception, the world lies in
his sway.
False
teaching runs rampant, as the enemy has
his say.
Casting off
the spells of darkness, the Church rises
in relief
Called to be
the pillar and ground of all truth, she
rises in belief.
Believing
that all Scripture is inspired by God,
she mends.
Called to
rightly divide the word of truth, she
makes amends.
As she
repents, she returns to her foundation
to rebuild.
With no other
foundation to build upon, she rightly
divides.
Immersing
herself in the elementary principles,
she presides.
Line upon
line, here a little, there a little, she
speaks with truth.
No longer
caught in self-deception, she speaks
truth in love.
With divine
harmony of revelation in play, she comes
alive.
Fully
immersed in the unction of the Spirit,
she teaches, reaffirmed.
With insight
into riddles, and mysteries, deeper
truths are discerned.
With her
thinking process submitted to the word,
she rightly divides.
As the word
takes precedence over the Spirit, in
truth, she delivers
Knowing
teachers receive a stricter judgment,
she builds the pillars.
With the
pillars of truth being built, light
begins to dispel the darkness.
The glory of
the Father begins to rise upon His
people as truth increases.
Not placating
for the sake of relevancy, truth is
restored in the streets.
As truth
restores, light penetrates those once
caught in aimlessness.
Without
blinders, multitudes see the light, now
penetrating the darkness.
