THE MESSAGE




Woe to those who make unjust laws...to deprive the poor of their rights
and withhold justice from the oppressed. Isaiah 10:1-2

Let each of you look not to your own interests, but to the interests of
others. Philippians 2:4


I OFTEN WONDER
IF I’M USING THE RIGHT VERSION
OF THE BIBLE

IT DOESN’T RESEMBLE
THE MESSAGE
DELIVERED BY THE BIBLE THUMBERS

MY VERSION HAS QUOTES
LIKE THE ONES ABOVE

IN FACT
IT HAS MANY SUCH QUOTES
FROM ADAM TO CHRIST

CULMINATING IN CHRIST SAYING
(INCAPSULATING THE BIBLE)
WHATSOEVER YOU DO
 TO THE LEAST OF MY BRETHREN
THAT
YOU DO UNTO ME

HE DIDN’T SAY
WEALTHY
WISE
IMPORTANT
BUT LEAST

HE DIDN’T SAY HIDE THEM
IGNORE THEM
KILL THEM



HE SAID
TREAT THEM AS ME

WHERE IS THAT MESSAGE PREACHED
WHERE IS THAT MESSAGE HEARD
WHERE IS THAT MESSAGE BELIEVED
WHERE IS THAT MESSAGE PRACTICED

WHERE ARE THE VOICES
CALLING FOR SEPARATION OF CHURCH AND HATE
WHERE ARE THE CHURCHES
CALLING FOR GOSPEL LIVING

NOT A MUMBLE

I AM REMINDED
OF A QUOTE BY REINHOLD NIEBUHR
AND OTHERS WHEN THEY SAID














TO ANYONE WHO SAYS THAT’S OLD HAT
READ THE NEWSPAPER
TOLLE  LEGE
READ THE NEWSPAPER
