Poem: Religious Brands

It’s really shameful to acknowledge 
the divisiveness of all denominations; 
a continuing lack of understanding is…  
diluting Love’s message of Salvation.

The ongoing promotion of religious brands 
has not convinced or impressed the World;
the wholeness of God’s holy Word must be 
embraced by everyone, as His boys and girls.

These current disagreements and hostilities 
of religious debates waste our precious time;
clearly a lack of Christian unity of beliefs
blurs the position of Faith’s dividing line.

Silly tendencies to argue, keeps us unfocused 
and separated from today’s task of evangelism; 
Christ died to unite us in fellowship with Him
and not vying for the best speaker’s magnetism.

Faith’s intimacy really permits us to become one 
with God in times of quiet reflection and prayer; 
religious brands are simply counter-intuitive,
reducing our effective witness of Heaven’s flair.
