What a risk we take,
with our lives, our souls,
if we become complacent, tired,
if we don’t see ourselves as set apart,
as aliens, sojourners, citizens of heaven,
if we allow ourselves to become lukewarm,
as a people, as Christians, losing our focus,
our claim to our brother, our Savior,
timid, no longer on fire for Jesus,
for our Master, our Teacher,
immersed in our culture, nations
letting the world around us,
consume us, quench the Spirit,
the fire that once guided,
that lead our every step…
