Should ya find yerself amongst congregants infected with godless folk, consider this prayer of confession fer you and yer crew.

(Yes, we all be guilty of the rampant apostasy that infects the Body of Christ.)

Lord, well we know that scoffers ‘ill follow thar own ungodly desires. Among our own number such fellers distort yer truth in order ter draw away yer disciples (Acts 20:30). Yer Spirit clearly says in later times some ‘ill abandon the faith. We kin spy such fellers by the way they follow thar own natural instincts. These folks blaspheme in matters they do not understand. They are like unreasoning animals, creatures of instinct, born only to be caught and destroyed, and like animals they too ‘ill perish (2 Peter 2:12).

They do not ‘ave yer Spirit. Instead they follow deceiving spirits and things taught by demons (1 Timothy 4:1).

Such reprobates seek ter divide us, but we ‘ill pray on in yer Holy Spirit of Truth in the most holy way. We ‘ill keep ter ourselves in Skipper’s love fer we know that the Son always be interceding fer us (Romans 8:34).

Be we facin’ troubles, hard times, persecution fer the faith, hunger, famine, nakedness, in danger, facing death? No matter. Nothin’ kin take us out of yer lovin’ arms. Past circumstances or future trials? Earthly powers or principalities in the spiritual realm? No, none ‘ill separate us from yer love. The love of Skipper be in the Son and that love lives in us. Amen.
