I Write What I Write



I write what I write, not to scare, but
I write what I write, to make others aware.

If I knew a storm was coming, would it be fair,
if I didn’t let you and others be aware?

If I knew that a terrorist attack was getting ready to take place,
would not informing you be a disgrace?

The reason that Christians warn people of hell,
is so lost souls can be well.

Sometimes we can be a little pushy, but our hearts are in the right place;
we just want you to know the gift of God’s Amazing Grace.

Take a look around the world today, are Christians forcing religion?
The answer is nay.

Whose pushing their religion in public schools,
telling children it’s wrong to obey God’s rules?

Who's telling children they can change their sex at the age of five?
What are you gonna tell them next, they’re allowed to drink and drive?

Better yet, let’s allow them to run in U.S elections;
let’s allow them to do as they please, giving them no directions.

I understand that racism still exists in America, but America is not a racist nation; God loves all his children, do you need a revelation?

If you think that Christians are forcing religion, you need to open up your eyes; the only one is the devil, who is the father of lies.

    Happy that you bring Gospel to the forefront. Do not bother with self justification as a knee jerk thing. Your strong Elder Brother is in the neighbourhood. He sees it all. He comes like the Cavalry.
