The Lone Christian

On one’s own as a Christian
is it really possible to do?
the church tells us it’s not so
but many feel so not just a few

Scripture says we are all one
that we must live all in peace
but so many of us feel excluded
no better then a load of geese

God’s truth is changed for convenience
to suit man’s selfish carnal pride
claim biblical truth only is rebuffed
makes one think am I only here for ride

You begin to think am I here alone
do I only believe what God says?
start to feel like Elijah all so sorry
maybe times short in the final days

Spend time in prayer seek His answer
for seems so many say you must be wrong
but my convictions tell me otherwise
so hold on to God to always stay strong

(one's thoughts on how it is at times as a lone Christian feeling as if the church is not heeding God's word but only compromising to suit there own desires.)

Nice write, Elijah felt alone, but God told him there were 7000 more he didn't know about.It must be frustrating when one understands Bible truth but the church modifies doctrine to please the masses. Same thing happened here in Canada with the United Church. It is now divided!
