Expensive
Everything has a price,
but some people may find a price to be higher than others do.
A rich person doesn’t blink at buying groceries,
but some consider theirs unaffordable.
The same goes for the one who is confident in how they look,
never overthink how much they eat.
But for some people, eating is expensive.
The cost is constant regret and insecurity.
And inflation rates are through the roof.
I had a dream that my old pastor started preaching about politics again,
And in the process, he deported Jesus from his own church.
He’d say, “I’d love to meet Jesus…
if he came to the US with the right papers!”
As if Jesus didn’t give him a passport for the kingdom of heaven.
In my dream I saw some members of the church give dirty looks to others,
some so hostile the targets walked out and never returned.
For those people, the price of attending church became too much.
There is no excuse for passing judgement on people in the name of your truth.
There is no excuse for making church too expensive
when the gift of salvation is free.
