Notes About The Poem

The fact that you are a Christian doesn't mean you are without sin.  It just means you are forgiven.

Mr Christian

You see the sin in everyone,
The darkness and decay,
Deceit, skullduggery and lies,
Point out their wrongful ways.

The dirt upon their window panes,
The filth around their doorsteps,
You see each one for what they are,
And know the secrets kept,

Hidden in the darkness,
Of their dirty little minds.
You see their weaknesses and faults,
But to your own you're blind.

A true Christian is harder on themselves than others... We are terribly judgmental of all Christians. Why is that? I think its a grave error to mark any group as “all the same.” Pangie

Thank you so much Pangie. I think the reason you find it wrong to mark any group as all the same is because all living things are like snow flakes. There are no two the exact same although there are millions of them and you are smart enough to see that. God Bless my friend. JB

That’s why we must look in the mirror every day…what mirror? The Word of God. For that is the only place we can measure what we “do unto others.” The Holy Spirit helps us with this task to bring to mind as we seek to find. Thankfully when dealt with we can walk in Jesus’ grace.

Amen from me too, Judy. How many people judge others pointing their finger and forgetting the four pointing back at you. Great poem.

Not so Christian is it...necessary to uplift when forced to expose. Also, if it were not in ourselves, we could not see it in others. Not just Christians, these self righteous critics are in all religions...including atheists.
