Call Yourself A Christian? Poem by Randy McClave

You call yourself a Christian
But, you constantly speak of hate,
You call yourself a Christian
Do you truly know what is your fate.
When hatred is your true desire,
Ignited and fumed with hells own fire.

You call yourself a Christian
But, you don't ever turn your cheek,
You call yourself a Christian
When you don't want to appear weak.
You hate people different than you
And your family and friends know that's true.

You call yourself a Christian
But, you constantly falsely judge,
You call yourself a Christian
But, you still hold onto a grudge.
To Jesus you tell others you worship and pray,
You too will be judged on judgement day.

You call yourself a Christian
But, you detest and won't help the poor and the needy,
You call yourself a Christian
While you applaud the wealthy and the greedy.
Remember, what the Lord said about the love of money,
It won't buy you paradise, only honey.

You call yourself a Christian
But, you constantly tell and spread lies,
You call yourself a Christian
Do you think that you will not end in paradise.
Remember, the Devil is the king of lies and rumors and all,
Every lie you told he did call.

You call yourself a Christian
But, you indeed have a different savior,
You call yourself a Christian
But, as yourself you don't love your neighbor.
If they are from a different belief or land,
You quickly withdraw your welcoming hand.

You call yourself a Christian
But, you don't ever seek the truth,
You call yourself a Christian
In the end we will all be known by our fruit.
So, many rotten seeds you have planted,
To destroy the soul which you obliged and granted.

You call yourself a Christian
I call myself a Christian as well,
You call yourself a Christian
Well this Christian is heading to heaven and not hell.
I am saved and I follow all of Jesus's teachings,
And I also follow and obey all of his preachings.
