listen deeply to the still small voices

Our brothers, our sisters
crying out to us
for justice, for mercy
for love in His name
All to be equal
all equally loved
in the message of the gospel
of the one who went to the cross
to listen deeply
to the still small voices
crying out for mercy, for justice
in all our holy places

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.”
