voices speak:
we are
going to
take back...
take back our
country!
take back our
church!
those are hard words to parse
even harder to hear
more difficult to live!
taking back
implies
sole
sole
possession
ownership.
politics is one thing -
church is a whole other matter.
church is a whole other matter.
with politics
we can't get past the fact
that not one of us
has sole ownership
of the country.
of the country.
to suggest
that taking back the country
is to suggest
that there will always remain
that there will always remain
those who have had
"it"
"it"
taken away.
if this is what politics is about
then we are sorely missing the point.
we
i recall
are the people.
WE!
who is taking?
who is losing?
because in the end
"we"
are not being served
no matter
what side of the aisle talks!
in the matter of our country
to say it is
being taken back...
well if this is all
we can say
then i pray
because
such talk has nothing to
to with the founding
word
"we".
we
the people
the people
church is a whole
other matter.
who are "you"
taking the church from
when "you" say
"we" are taking the church back?
do you
really have ownership
of the church?
when people say
they are taking back the church
they are taking back the church
they might as well
be saying they are taking
the church back from
God...
Christ...
the Holy Spirit.
the church is not yours.
the church is not mine.
the church is not yours.
the church is not mine.
what needs to be
taken back
are these
words
such words
only
serve to tear down
and divide.
