What. that. If?

If god is love
what are we getting away with when we hate?

If Jesus is charity
then what money have we saved when we dont help
that beggar on the street

If God is Justice
then how safe are we when we don't speak in place the oppressed
not caring for those who dont have enough to eat

If Jesus is love
If Jesus is love...

If God is our father
then what great life have you gained by ignoring or leaving your kids?

If the good Lord is hope
then what could possibly be encouraging about one more Gossip like word?

If Jesus is community
then why leave out the weakest among you because he cant afford or is in need?

If Jesus is wealth
then is not living sacrificially gain?

We move away when we think we're moving toward
we push away and walk comfortably on a bed of thorns

we make Christ in our own image
all the while the cross is scorned..
