Week 2: Kindness vs. Anger
POEM:
7 deadly sins that makes us ineffective
we need divine virtues to not be disconnected
as we strive to find balance walk a tightrope
how do we view Jesus? "No more Christian nice guy" - nope!
We knee jerk one way, do we turn a cheek too?
no opossum mentality, it's our turn to speak truth
maybe speak up or speak out loudly
Satan sit down and shut up acting so proudly
Righteous Anger - let's talk about it now
is it an accurate perception of true evil, then how?
then you can confront it, before you're still
keep in mind it's NOT ours, it is God's will
God isn't bothered by some things we are
yet he's compassionate, when we are far
rage against the machine of religiosity
with sternness he goes Chuck Norris obviously
Not an earthy throne, He rules our hearts
now what we expect, but after this life starts
we are born again & we're ready to defend
Ephesians chapter four verse 26 let's begin
Who were these people, before they knew him
being renewed, restore the groomsmen
the unity of the body and how to be sane
it's a lost art, lets let Paul explain
Take out the thoughts, like forgotten memories
anger is rooted in pride, words can be enemies
needs aren't met, we lash out and tear down
we will regret, back out and fear now
So many scared now, got a gateway emotion
the devil comes in, make way for sin
now there's a grudge and a murderous spirit
live of let die, I know you heard of this lyric
Oh No! The son has gone down
If you sleep, you'll weep and frown
Maybe you should sleep on it
Ephesians 6:12 Peep the topic
1st Peter five eight, be sober and alert
bring on the kindness, do not flirt
God resists the proud, gives grace to the humble
cast care upon him, dare to not grumble
Christ is the cornerstone, some will stumble
if the Holy Spirit doesn't dwell, you're in trouble
look deep in your heart, address the sitcho
we want to rewind, but it's not a video
We've seen it all, by examples of Christ
not just His actions, even after His life
he's not an actor with ice, he's got rhymes
more than a clique or a band throughout times
Call them His discypes, as sharp as knives
iron sharpens iron, this is our lives
discipline disciples, recycle the cycles
keep the cipher going, this is our life goal
