Not in Vain

I’m sick and tired of how horrible

Those of us called to love

Have been behaving

Like it’s our place to

Pass judgment on the world

We did not create


Only the God we say we follow

Is the One fit to judge

All of His diverse creation

This place we call Earth

Fellow Christians


If you profess God has saved you

How can you post that stuff

How can you use the Lord’s name

And say horrible things

To others who you are

Commanded to love


Without condition

If you know the same God I know

You are so deeply loved

Not a cleaned up version of you

But you right now

You just as you are.


Don’t take Jesus’ name in vain

Don’t claim to know Him

And tell others horrible things

About how bad they are

Because no one is better

Nor worse than the other


We’re all created people

With a place and a purpose

With a life that matters

Called to love each other

Just as we are without condition

The way the Creator loves us.
