I wouldn^'t contend for our church. I would see Jesus^' own church, all in all.

I wouldn^'t contend for our purpose. I would seek God^'s purpose.

I wouldn^'t contend for our wisdom. I would love even the foolishness of God.

I wouldn^'t contend for the exact budget by prayer requests. I would offer what I have to the Lord and pray Him to handle the issues.

I wouldn^'t contend for church increase by cajoling. I would willingly descrease so that He may increase.

I wouldn^'t contend for a select few of God's words in a popular message. I would deliver sincerely every word of God for His increase.

I wouldn^'t contend for a mega church to be. I would daily live by every divine word according to the Spirit.

I wouldn^'t contend how much amount is donated. Individually, the sincerity of the members' hearts would be discerned as how much portion of each member's expense is dedicated to God.

I wouldn^'t contend how many members attend at once. I would nurture the daily fellowship of each member with Him.

I wouldn^'t contend for a gift, a ministry, or an operation. I would honor diverse gifts, ministries, and operations all directed by the same Spirit's working in all.

I wouldn^'t contend for our word, our voice, and our sight. I would savor His word, His voice, and His sight.

Whatever circumstances are contended for or not, I^'d be content day by day through the sovereign Lord who strenghthens me to do all thing for His glory, eargerly awaiting His quick return.
