If You Think

If you think that God’s temple’s a building Then you’ve swallowed a boat load of crap, If you think that man’s works are what saves him, You are dreaming! Wake up from your nap! If you think the Bible you’ve mastered You are trapped in a Satanic dream If you think your church is the ”Right One” Then most likely your pride is extreme. For the Christ is stone builder’s rejected And if you’d like to know where to stand If you’re longing to feel you’re connected You’ll be safer if you build on sand. For Christ’s way simply can’t be a temple That is built to the glory of priesthood That’s an anti-Christ living example Of a pablum fed life still in childhood. What you think Bible says is not God’s Word But a good way to learn is to teach And it’s true we’re instructed to witness It’s you too that God’s hoping to reach. For malfeasance exposed is a blessing That can humble a heart made of stone Bring a new attitude toward your brothers More in keeping with one of God’s own. The more certain you are that you’ve found truth The more distant from God’s Word you are, If your goal is to truly be servant, Best avoid baby food found in jar. For God’s Word is not aid for digestion Its intention is stretching the soul And can often lead some to discomfort, For His teaching’s not just to console. Our God’s goal is to further His Kingdom And His joy to use you if He can But there’s nothing in His plan that’s random You must give up truth centered on man. So surrender your heart to your brother Even if he should hate you and more, And be cautious as well not to smother, Those who show you what you’re looking for. Brian Johnston Sept 5, 2015
