Love Freed – v3

The words innocent

of love freed

not mere biology

nobler things than these

love given voice

Our law, hope

changing in these days

moved by mercy, redemption

heeding the Spirit’s guiding

walking in Christ’s ways

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.”
