the mission matters – v2


our focus on wealth
on the brick and mortar
on the trappings of faith
not its true substance
the mission matters
not the pews, the altar
we are like the scribes,
the Pharisees
holding onto false power

we risk everything
comfortable, complacent
all about the pretense
the mouthing of our faith
we stand with them
those who were criticized
focused on the trappings of faith
the world alone inside
