Christianity Is Not

Christianity is not

a man-made institution
full of aging tradition and empty dogma
a denomination built on a man's reputation
barely surviving by the schemes of men
under the watch of apathetic leaders
taken as far as a church sign
faded letters that the passerby sees
subdued like a mute
less intense than a game night
for the purpose of your safety
a vacation
for amusing the brain-dead
a defeat
for the lazy half-hearted
barely surviving the century
losing the next generation
empty preaching that puts men to sleep
found only Sunday morning from 10 till 12
safety for the coward
a pointless parade lacking in deeds
the temporary pretense of men without the Holy Spirit
meaningless, empty conventions by men for men
