Another example of Christians
Misjudging another Christian—
Yammering heartichokes never learn.
Give way to others, for Christ’s sake.
Religion is best served in humility.
Anyone witnessing to God’s open love
Needs our support, not our scrutiny.
Take your self-righteous protests to hell.

- Comment from author about the poem: An acrostic Scorched Sunday poem. Part of my Scorched Strays collection. Inspired by the backlash faced by a female Christian artist who dared cross over into mainstream music. This poem confronts the religious self-righteousness that confuses personal expectations with faithfulness, policing the boundaries of Christian identity rather than celebrating the freedom to share one’s gifts beyond them.

I often wonder if it's that seeds seed thing? Either way the blossoms are blooming!
I was accompanied by Amy Grant’s music ministry in the early days. Very good memories. 🙏🏻🕊️
A bit early but maybe not for this message applies all year long. I loved your line "Give way to others, for Christ’s sake." a double play on words here and those are so rare. It seems the anchor to the poem itself. This one is a fave my friend.
beautifully put my friend and a fav
