Poetry
I speak with boldness that only God can give. I write this out of love, not anger, malice or hate. This is what the Spirit revealed to me while I was attending mid-week service. I think it is very relavent to the political environment we are living in these times. I do not post this for any specific political idea or agenda. I think Christians need to be Christians regardless of how incovenient or uncomfortable it can be in this world.
Luke 9:26 "For whoever shall be ashamed of Me and of My Words, the Son of Man shall be ashamed of him when He shall come in His own and in His Father's glory, and that of the holy angels."
Christian Outlaw
I am an outlaw in this land
because I boldly take my stand
I have yet broken no written law
I am a Christian outlaw
I do not fear to speak my mind
to point out to all what I find
Using the infallible Word of God
With the gospel of peace I'm shod
I do not speak softly on issues
nor offer apology for my views
To this world I'll not be conformed
But through Christ I am transformed
The Truth is used to identify lie
So much sin, I'm compelled to cry
It is written in black and white
For all to know wrong and right
I will not use gentle euphemism
To soften affects of political ultraism
Tolerance of crime and alternate lifestyles
And rhetoric about accepting various wiles
Sin is sin, no matter the "spin"
It will get much worse in the end
And I will be called a hate monger
and will be tolerated no longer
Because I do not, will not accept
nor conform to this worldly concept
of acceptance of what is wrong
I will not join in with that throng
I do not hate those who commit
or even those who accept it
I pray for their souls to be saved
to be freed from what has enslaved
Hate sin, but not those who sin
This is a battle for souls we're in
Even "religions" no longer stand
Against the iniquities in this land
I could go on for some time
but that too may be a crime
Teaching those who are lost
About sin's full eternal cost
I am not a political activist
nor am I a religious extremist
Redeemed from the condemning Law
I am a Christian outlaw
