You can preorder my new book, inspired by the poem, below!
Amazon: http://ow.ly/jNA68
Barnes & Noble: http://ow.ly/jNA8t

A poem I wrote to highlight the difference between Jesus and false religion. In the scriptures Jesus received the most opposition from the most religious people of his day. At it's core Jesus' gospel and the good news of the Cross is in pure opposition to self-righteousness/self-justification. Religion is man centered, Jesus is God-centered. This poem highlights my journey to discover this truth. Religion either ends in pride or despair. Pride because you make a list and can do it and act better than everyone, or despair because you can't do your own list of rules and feel "not good enough" for God. With Jesus though you have humble confident joy because He represents you, you don't represent yourself and His sacrifice is perfect putting us in perfect standing with God the Father.

    Religion enforces your relationship with God, idiot.

    Of all the things that could possibly happen, this is not one of them. Hail Satan.

    I'll pray that the Holy Spirit may invade your heart, and pour love and grace in there.

    You do know God advocated those things in the Old Testament, right?

    Satan shall one day show himself to us and he will be our eternal king. We will be servants to him and all who embrace him now shall be seen as loyal to his purely human cause. Satan has disproved God's so-called "wisdom" since old testament times. Hail Satan, our Lord and Master forever.
