"Complicit In..." [Module #40] (Matthew 14:1-13; Mk.6:14-31; Luke 9:7-10; Jn.6:1) (May/20/14)
“Complicit in” – comply, that is
In actions of another’s biz –
A lot of that is going ’round,
(Religious leaders’ holy ground).For Holy Week continues on,
For Christ Himself is dead and gone,
In eyes of world that is, of course,
And for that deed feel no remorse.Nor for their current deeds of death,
As they strike hard to take what’s left
Of neighbors’ life – a nasty scam
Indeed it is, in Giver-Land –Where down is up, and black is white;
Where it’s “grab all within your sight,
So long as you make out all right –
Live out each day, for day is night.”So how to live your life out here,
Where borderland is less than clear?
“In Me abide, and I in you –
What’s death to them is life for you.“Don’t be a chaplain to their crew;
Or be their air force – take their view
That institutions are okay
If good they do, and way they pay.“Apart from that, they keep off rain,
So folks can meet, be warm again,
While answers to their lives they gain,
And grow to life of peace from pain.”It’s done by four – twelve – seven-two,
Discipling people near to you
God gives to help as best he can,
Through us – Christ’s missions to our land.“But watch your backs, it’s rough out there;
Abide in Me, pour out My care
To those around you in their plight –
It’s war you’re in – learn how I fight –“Not methods used by sons of earth,
But love, and peace, expended worth
On worth despised by those around,
Whose tickets-price is upside down.“Share with them inter-active life,
My prayer-dynamics midst the strife,
So they can guidance have in Me,
And through the fog direction see.”Thanks Lord for this.
