when I say I am a Christian
do
I think only about my words
or
do I think about my actions
do
my actions betray me
exposing
me as a hypocrite
like
the Pharisees with Jesus
like
the whitewashed tombs
do
I emulates Christ, do I offer grace,
or
do I judge others, do I gather wealth
do
I set others apart, outside my heart
indicting
all who claim the name of Christ.
when
I say I am a Christian
the
name that I love, that I cherish
do
the words in my mouth
become
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.

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.”
