Comments about Bob Gotti
A Cord Of Three Strands
I have one lovely woman in my life, but we have a marriage of three.
The life long bond of our marriage is my wife, Jesus Christ, and me.
This is not simply a well known cliché, a phrase, or a simple token,
For Solomon said that a cord of three strands is not easily broken.
And when I include in my life, my two sons, I have a family of five,
For in the center is Jesus Christ who helps my entire family thrive.
The church that we attend is not just men and women under a steeple,
For the power we derive from Jesus Christ makes us a special people.
Even ...
Removing The Veil
All people are born with a spiritual veil that covers their face,
Left in its place this veil hides both God's Truth and His Grace.
God sent His Son to earth, with the intent to take this veil away,
But with hearts filled with pride, some have chose to let it remain.
Allowing it to remain and being veiled from God's Truth from above,
They are hindered from being filled with God's peace and His love.
Congratulations to you Bob. You are on a mission to spread the word of Christ. Even if your poetry isn't any good, your faith is deep and it's more important to shove Christ's word in the faces of the sinning poets than to work on crafting good poems yourself. I'm sure you're doing a very effective job and have probably helped thousands on this site to see the light, to stop regarding biblical stories as unprovable fairytales, and to start praying to the Christian god in order to save themselves from ending up in the place where the guy with the pitchfork, horns, and pointy tail does his business.
Maria, you have every right to be cynical, but i have one point to make- Jesus didn't just speak of love, He did. He gave Himself, the ultimate sacrifice, because He loved us.
Can anyone measure up to that? Granted, Christians don't do all that we can to improve our society, but the best thing we can do is tell society what Jesus did for them. Society as a whole doesn't need reform, or welfare, or any handouts- they need Jesus.
Sorry to sound as if I'm preaching, but understand that I don't hate you or your standing at all, I'm more saying that you shouldn't judge Christianity for what you think is a lack of action.
Also, I have a problem with hypocrisy as much as anyone (if not more) and I can say that if I knew Mr. Gotti to be a hypocrite, I wouldn't care for his poetry. But as it is, I don't know what he does, only what he says, and I think that what he says is great stuff.
In love,
