So I made some Spoken Word, I took some words from different sources and compiled it and put my own touch to the poem - But tell me what you think. Its aimed for the church as part of a preach or something.
If you are a christian what is your view on the poem in regards to the church?
If you are atheist, please don't say 'god doesnt exist' or anything in this thread - I don't want that here, I just want your opinions on the poem itself.
Transcript (I changed some words on the spot):
[spoiler]What have we done church?
To get to the point where I see Jesus, god, the allegiance
And it turns people off like I’m full of diseases
God has been wrecking me
Like a gut check you wouldn’t believe
But in my weakness and sin
God took me in and gave me a new life to begin
So the old Charlie is torn.
And made me a child in his likeness reborn.
So I don’t mourn my dead body
In fact I rejoice in my poverty
Because I know my god has got me.
And because of that I am free
It is like winning the eternal lottery
That’s the lord’s soverty
This isn’t a spoken word
But I don’t know if you heard I am a white kid from the suburbs.
Christianity has been lacking
And honestly the church has been sending people packing.
Maybe it’s time for us to go back to the start
The heart of what the ministry is
Stop the world from brainwashing generations
Upon generations.
Every time i turn the TV on all I see is me.
What can I get what can i WANT what can I have
the newest laptop? The newest ipad?
Yet here we are craving this material
And yet we call ourselves spiritual
Now I know what you’re thinking
I go to church, I pray and sometimes I read my bible
That makes me a disciple right?
Its more than most people do
Where do you get that point of view?
That sounds like the Pharisees who killed the king of the Jews
I’m not trying to step on feathers and ruffle toes
But I’m trying to make a point without labels.
Like lukewarm, marriage is torn and men addicted to porn.
Where is the righteous to guide us?
Do we have to much pride that Christ denies us
I’m tired of good deeds and us trying to please
if all it does is lead Christ back up to the cross to bleed.
Where are the warriors at, where are the disciples?
Where are the ones i read about in the bible?
If god gave us the Holy Spirit
Why do we try to run away and not hear it
if this doesn’t stir your heart
Maybe we are not doing our part
And maybe we need to start
We can’t go to church and act like Christians
Then when a new person comes in
We pretend to listen
Then after go back to life with your friends and ditch them
Man there is something missing
This equation is simple
God + nothing = everything
Maybe we should subtract the me and we
And the focus of the need,
Plant the seed and let Christ lead.
