God
offers us peace joy and love
and
we turn it down for
arrogance
pride and lust
God
treasures maturity righteousness and mercy
We
trade that for pretense, self righteousness and bitterness
God
offers us forgiveness
and
we want self justification with a religious veneer
The
best things our culture knows about love is the twisted ramblings of
madmen and the dogmatic rants of idiots.
We
are called to be salt, light, a living sacrifice. Our weapons are
mighty and we want our comfortable tradition, peaceful posturing and
laudable legitimacy.
