I say I am a Christian


I say I am a Christian
but my actions betray me
I  do nothing that emulates Christ
I judge others, I gather wealth
I set others apart, outside my heart
indicting all who claim the name of Christ.

I say I am a Christian
the name that I love, that I cherish
becomes an indictment, a charge
placed on my heart, a challenge, a curse
an epithet spoke against all of us
all who claim the name of Christ.

whitewashed Christians
Matthew 23:27-28 (The Message)
““You’re hopeless, you religion scholars and Pharisees! Frauds!
You’re like manicured grave plots, grass clipped and the flowers bright,
but six feet down it’s all rotting bones and worm-eaten flesh.
People look at you and think you’re saints, but beneath the skin
you’re total frauds.”
