He left the splendor of heaven to die for our sins.
Cleansing every lost soul when we let Him in:
His life a stirring testament as to how we live;
The message of salvation, always willing to give!
He died for a world that is full of Satan’s hate.
We need to spread His word before it is too late.
Get up out of the pews, there’s a war to be won.
Join the army of heaven to be lead by God’s Son!
There are battles we are losing each and everyday.
Things that are our rights, letting Satan take away.
This army we aren’t in just to sit, and sing, or smile.
Put on the gospel armor and fight every single mile!
Abortion as you wish, there’s no prayer in our schools.
Can’t pray in Jesus name, what a world of such fools!
The commandments taken out, safe sex is being taught!
Unwanted babies and disease, from a lie that was bought!
As the world goes to hell we just sit here in our bubble.
Not making priceless jewels, just wood, hay, and stubble.
He looks down upon the earth no excuse will he accept
Upon His throne in heaven, Again Jesus Wept!

Amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is simply amazing!!!! I just love it all the way through the very meaning I was looking for from the photo prompt!!! Thanks for your entry and the best of luck in my contest!!!~~Toni~~ -
Another brilliant take on the prompt, this is greatly written, and although it's a prewrite is sounds as though it was written just for the picture...
Congratulations on the bronze, it was well deserved, well done =)

Thank you. Jus thinking that christians are way to fast paced in their life and aren't looking at the real world.

Powerful
A good take on what cristianity means -
The poem was well written, but I'm afraid my own personal beliefs stopped me from really enjoying this piece. I am an atheist and for this whole poem, I couldn't help but feel you were trying to convert me, or have a go at me for not believing in what you believe, that may not be the case but that's the way I felt about it. It is well written though and I shouldn't be biased. Best of luck

WOW!!

It All Comes Down to Jesus...
...doesn't it? We who are Christians must simply preach Jesus.
That's right, I said, "preach." He did, which means preaching isn't a bad thing, since He was without sin.
Jesus taught doctrine; right doctrine, since He is the Truth.
Jesus will save all who come to Him from hell, and then save them from their errant view of life. That alone can have an impact on things like abortion, or war, or anything else.
It's all about Jesus.
A worthy write.
-
-
Amen! and Amen! Preach and teach to me are one in the same! We must preach his word, and those that don't heed their blood is not on us!
-
-
Love It!
Rightfully said and written. There is a problem within the world and the church. Believers all over are sitting still and not fighting for the reason Jesus bleed and died for our sins. Alot of it is the minister's fault, they will not let believers go, they want to keep them locked up in their buildings. Good write.

The time for entertainment an comfort is over, time to do battle with the enemy. The coming of Jesus in the clouds is near!

this is definately God inspired. it speaks such truths! thank you for sharing this brother. i cried all the way through it. it touched me very deeply. thank you so much for sharing this. keep writing for Jesus! God bless you always
-
-
When I read it back I teared up. This is purely what God said to me!
-
-
Enjoyed it
It would seem that your writing has touched a nerve or two. I enjoyed it very much as I am a Christian.
I believe that Christ's teachings are in fact a light to an otherwise dark and lost world.
The battle belongs to the Lord!
Word of God speak!
-
-
Amen brother! Without Christ we are fools!
-

Beautifully Written
Beautiful write, full of truth. Good imagery, good content. I hope you win in the contest.

Thank you! I have ruffled some feathers with this one so it must be somewhat right! Glad you liked it!

Alright, great poem. However, I have a few problems. First of all, you seem to be more interested in promoting a doctrine than a morality. Please let me ask you, what is more important? Believing in god, or following a morality which is in accordance with the teachings. Holy war fought for God's holy land (a place which all major faiths had a claim to), and resulted in atrocities which destry the very fabric of Christian morality.
Wouldn't it be more constructive to say that murder (or all the other things you rail against) is wrong, not that we should follow the exact Christian doctrine based on a personified figure of worship who most certainly doesn't exist, whether God exists or not?
Finally, you rail against abortion, yet also rail against safe sex. Hang on just a second, it seems to me like the two might just have a negative correlation, in that the more one is prevalent the lower the occurence of the other is. You may say that we should rather preach that sex in all cases is wrong, but that is a whole different debate which I am quite willing to take up (please IM me if you wish).
I'm sorry for all this, i'm not attacking you I'm just really not entirely sure that such a zealous and, to be honest, narrow approach is the cure to this worlds 'evils.' Either way,
All the best,
Ed
(here are three applause in the hope of assuaging any potential anger, please if you wish just IM me, it'd be good to have a debate and I can;'t get into groups due to my server.)

Awesome! What a powerful message and so very true! This has great rhythm and flow! Very nicely written!

Thank you! I think christians need to battle hard because in this country at least we have gone soft and comfortable
