Usher Him Out

Usher him out! I think this was the Lord's house Wait a second Pastor where is the love of which you speak All your brothers armed with guns not a Bible ...wi in the Middle East? Usher him out! Pastor something wrong ...isn't there a place for me, wid mi red lipstick, mi wig and mi modern day dress ...a little short but a fi mi ... I don't have a place in heaven? Mi nuh count inna the good book? Mi nuh know the scriptures well but mi sure a part seh "render yuh heart not yuh garment" Mi never go nuh theological school but mi heart clean although mi dress short. I think in the Lord's house yuh woulda usher mi in. Pastor mi have a problem with you telling me I have no voice because I am a woman. Who give you the right to call me a prostitute just because I don't dress like your wife. She may be silent but I will speak ...You will not take away my voice from me. Usher him out! Shouldn't you be the one inviting him in Mi nuh understand this church thing Love your neighbors as yourself...I guess you miss that part in the bible pastor ....I hear you call him hypocrite...isnt that what you are? Usher him out a the Lord's house ...isn't this where you welcome us all in with open arms...it shouldn't matter how I look ... now we know who the real hypocrites are.

Hi! Sonya, Just love your verse...You speak of trues... Modern mankind places more emphasis on church/denominational doctrine rules.. instead of the word/bible... you got us thinking... been missing your creativity... write on Be Blessed... James
