Tell it not in Tellington! Wail not in Wailing! Dust Manor will eat dirt, Dressy Town will flee naked. Safefold will not save, Allchester's walls are down, A bitter dose drinks Bitterton. Toward Jerusalem, City of Peace, The Lord sends war. Harness the war-steeds, O men of Barstead! Zion's beginning of sinning, Equal to Israel's crimes. To Welfare a last farewell! For Trapping trapped Israel's kings. Micah 1:10-16

A Promise of Prosperity

● For it is time for judgment to begin with the household of God; and if it begins with us first, what will be the outcome for those who do no obey the gospel of God? 1 Peter 4:17 ● For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but wanting to have their ears tickled, they will accumulate for themselves teachers in accordance with their own desires. 2 Tim. 4:3
