The Unconverted Church

The church today seems so weak
as the bible isn't giving it's authorative place
so many watering down it's voice
making the gospel's message cheap grace

Maybe so many conversions aren't that
they've confessed Christ but not lived as Christ
the church have accepted their profession
but the consequences are heavily priced

These false professions of faith
have entered in become a member
risen even to high leadership
think of Judas himself need we remember

How can the unconverted live as Christ?
Jesus said you'll know them by their fruit
so we need to closely check each believer
to see what bud is at their root

Do they truly love Christ?
are they fervent in prayer and holiness
studying the word for God's approval
displaying the Holy Spirit's fruitfulness?

As the unconverted are treated
like a converted believer
so the church acts like the world
unable to stop this infected fever

The remedy is to fall under God's
authorative inerrant infallible biblical canon
never be ashamed of this  body of divinity
for it will remain after the world is gone
