Because, Love.

Love. It's a word thrown around by so many people,

and is rarely found under a church's steeple.

Because we are so busy telling them what's wrong with them,

we neglect to show them how much they mean to Him.

we as Christians are responsible for exhortation,

but all we ever bring is condemnation.

why don't we put down our stones and lift each other up,

and stop acting like judges that have gone corrupt.

so let's stop tearing down and start building back,

that spirit of love, which we desperately lack.

Because if Jesus walked into the back of the church today,

He wouldn't be glorified, He would be pushed out of the way.

We say we love Him and "oh Jesus you're great"

what we mean is, "Jesus keep your riches in mercy, I'll take the cut rate."

Jesus didn't come to condemn the world, He came to save it.

And if we actually acted like Him, we wouldn't want to just sit.

The church as a whole, it would seem has given up,

not caring about the world, and not sharing the grace cup.

so we sit around wallowing in self pity and contrition,

when we should be concerned with the great commission.

Stop being selfish with the Love of God,

and with the Gospel of Peace have our feet shod.
