Faith Rethought

A religious person sees a world of sinners.

Worthless people destined for hell, unless they change their ways.

 

A faith person sees a world of broken hearts and hurt souls.

People much like themselves, searching for faith’s authentic love.

 

A religious person spends their days critiquing people to their views.

Thinking the world is hopeless unless we all think the same.

 

Faith people are thankful for creativity and are happy to share their unique story.

The only critiquing these people do is they to Christ.

 

Religious do good because they are fearful of what people would think if they did wrong.

They forget about grace in God and focus on the guilt they perceive from God.

 

Faith people do good to others because they understand the grace given to them.

They understand there is no condemnation for those in Christ.

 

Religious sees their holiness coming from within and think they are “good” people.

They believe with their good life they deserve glory for all of their actions.

 

Faith people see themselves as broken people undeserving of such goodness.

A person of whom the goodness of God flows through, all glory goes to God not to them.

 

Religious people are unhappy and often confused but act as if they are always happy.

Faith people are happy, sad, broken, and mad; there is no mask to decode.

 

Religious parents raise rebellious and angry children because they focus upon flaws.

Faith people bring up children who are proud of their parents, despite their flaws.

 

Religious people reluctantly go to church to get blasted by more negativity.

Faith people rush to church to recharge and refresh hope from the world’s negativity.
