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.

    "You shall not murder" - Exodus 20:3

    "They entered into a covenant to seek the Lord, the God of their fathers, with all their heart and soul; and everyone who would not seek the Lord, the God of Israel, was to be put to death, whether small or great, whether man or woman." 2 Chronicles 15:12-13

    "If a man lies with a male as with a women, both of them shall be put to death for their abominable deed; they have forfeited their lives." Leviticus 20:13

    So it's not okay to murder unless God says so?

    That's right, God is a worm. A lowly worm. Satan on the other hand is the king of the universe and all life within it. Thank you for agreeing with me and becoming a servant of Satan. Hail Satan my friend, you have seen the light.

    You and your dirty christian agenda have most certainly proven your persistence. But just wait my friend. In the end, we will see. As for me? Well, I choose to embrace Satan just as fervently as you hold your dirty "Christ". Just a bit longer now, and Satan will control us all.
