His Church Can Rise Up Comments

Very enjoyable write; well written with a great message.

In terms of content: powerful. I can't help but feel the same way about the situation. What always gets me though is, yes, the Bible is interprative, but, it can only be One Truth. With all of the different sects of the Church co-existing, if I was a newcomer to Christ, I would have a hard time choosing which one to follow. ...What I'm trying to say is I agree with your poem, but right now, is it really the Church, or just churches? Regarding the writing, I liked the internal rhyme as opposed to breaking up the line. Most of your rhymes weren't forced, but it only takes one forced rhyme to throw off a piece and I felt that 'Jesus Christ the very Cornerstone, guides His Church from His Throne. For His Church, Jesus Christ alone, is her foundation and the capstone.' threw off the poem in terms of the repition of 'stone' which subliminally gets picked up and the awkwardness of 'alone' to 'capstone' took me out of what is a very compelling first stanza. Besides that a top-notch piece! Hoping you'll keep inspiring us to be who God has called us to be, Justin Filizola
