The Gospel of Our Brother

Love the message
the call to our hearts
the small voices calling
to embody the Christ
The one who was sent
re-presenting the King
our calling to live out
the gospel, the good news,
of our brother, the Christ
Our Master, our Guide
our Savior, our brother
the first-born of Creation
and of the Resurrection
Following His example
of unmerited love
given freely to all
on the altar of the cross
The measure of our witness
representing the Christ
sharing with all the gospel
of our brother, our God

posting on my Facebook page
“my 'heart' sinks with your continued association with the United Methodist church. God's Word clearly says that the Lord’s command is no females are allowed to be leaders. 1 Cor. 14:33-38; 1 Tim 2:12-3:12. Violating God's Word is not a recommended path to follow.”
