Christians

I’m not going to apologize for my next sentence.

You are defacing the church.

Smiles don’t reach across the waters and money doesn’t solve all things.

If you hide your claws you will have nothing to keep a grip.

Away with all of your slogans.

The son doesn’t need another flashy t-shirt for you to declare your faith.

The clothing oft makes the man, but your words are the only thing that can save a brother, sister. I mean have you ever had a deep discussion about NT Wright’s latest book with a pair of socks that read john 3:16.

That’s preposterous.

Formulas work for some, but the diluted pattern of discussion soon allows the second party to see that you don’t mean much by it.

Words should come from the heart not the new best seller in the Christian market.

And I know you might mean the best and that you intend on changing the hearts of men

but your fishing with rotten bait.

Times are changing. Your methods must too.

Straighten out your back because I wont do it for you

Our god has made us too pretty and we cant help but stare in the mirror.

We just forget about the real issues the least struggle with.

As we spend point eight five cents a page for an inward appearance,

the man on the corner freezes or melts depending on the season.

We are broken and out of key.

Let us find our reality once again so we may be released from the hooks that keep us tethered to the lies from the deception artist himself.

Look up and say your prayers.

Look left and use your hands to solve the isolation issue.

Serve under Christ’s kingdom.

To be happy is to suck.
