Why church schism?

Can we just leave out

Denominations ?

What you do

What you don’t

With the Lord?


In the Elect, assuredly

Or a job to stay holy.


Speaking tongues

Or some prophetic word?


All these things

Making much for schism.

Breaking down

The bright bonds

Of the Cross.

The courage of

Our Creator-Shepherd.

Stepping back

From the beauty of serving.


Dithering points

That result in Love’s loss.

Jesus sighs as

He watches cracks

Developing.

When we lose sight

Of Spirit as Boss.
