Wake Up People
I want to say something to the church respectfully If I may?
If God took a walk around now, what do you think He would say?
You claim you are a follower of Christ yet you turn away.
With all the racial divisions and church burnings in news today.
Wearing “WHAT WOULD JESUS DO?” bracelets won’t change a thing.
God is not mocked and He sees, you will each answer to Your King.
Is ignoring Americans suffering or school shooting what Jesus would do?
It would be different if the sufferers were the people related to you?
After every school shooting, the churches seem so far away
The least the world should see is God’s people gathering to pray.
When there is a shooting angry people are all we see.
Why can’t the local Pastors show up falling on their knees?
Instead, we sit inside a building collecting tithes, promoting books.
Talking about prosperity and not giving those suffering a second look.
Jesus said to give and it will be given back to you.
The collection plate is not the only way, there are better things to do.
Jesus said the Kingdom is here! Go “OUT!” and heal the hurt.
Instead, you strut around in fine clothes treating outside people like dirt.
They talk about us in the stores well-dressed and being loud.
Acting like we are the Devils kids, all arrogant and proud.
Stop hiding in the church house spreading gossip in the pews.
Try doing what the Lord said, go out and spread the “Good New!”
We believers will be accountable for what we do here today.
When you stand before the Lord, what will you be able to say?
