What's Happened?

America claims Christianity on the whole,
But all I see are shrines upon every knoll.
About Jesus many have no clue,
He is the capstone to their routes in lieu.
Worship goes to technology, sex, money, and drugs,
While giving God numerous shoulder shrugs.
We approach Him in prayer and requests,
And harbor adultery within the chest.
Upon His Rock we claim His glory,
Yet, countless have exchanged Jesus for a fictional story.
We have replaced our obedience and devotion,
For lives full of wayward emotion.
One group says this, another sect says that—
All declare this is where the truth is at.
Some claim Jesus was just a prophet,
And others use Him for a dollars profit.
Many add to or contort His words,
Grouping together in large herds.
Numerous taunt God by bragging,
“His Word and Son are lagging.”
“Generations come and go,
Where’s He at?—thought He promised to show!”
Like Lucifer, this land is arrogant,
Our own rules, regulations, and religion we plant.
Just like repeated days of old,
humility before God refuses to unfold.
Simple minds seek simple ways,
Wisdom is calling out—count the days.
America was planted like a choice vine,
Love and hate for God has become a red line.
Failure happened when varied degrees of Christianity,
Became aped into false forms a plenty.
Each generation has grown worse,
The present has one foot in the hearse.
God is not pleased, He has not overlooked,
He does not forget, the oven is set to cook.
Acknowledge sin and He will forgive,
Or suffer the lives you chose to live.
The fourth quarter has started,
Minutes tick for the vain and hard-hearted.
Jesus is the only truth and only way,
Don’t wait until the final play.
Time sneaks up quick and the game ends,
The loss will be severe—no clock left for amends.
Jesus is man’s Savior and He is the Living Stone,
Why aren’t more believers mature and grown?
So many beliefs about Him mutilated,
Speak the truth and you are hated!
Stop worshipping true to the false,
And stand for Christ on the cross!
