Slap on a scripture,
Dress the pig up like a princess.
Put up with lies on the stage,
because qualifications for ministry are now charm and charisma
Misconstrue turn the other cheek,
It’s now “turn a blind eye.”
While smiles and high-fives,
Leave behind a trail of trauma.
I won’t participate in Christian cover-up culture.
Blackmail the family.
“Stay silent about the sins, or you’ll suffer a worse fate.”
“Sideline the wounded; it was just “him being him, you need to get over it.”
Whitewash the cheap grace and laugh along with his nature.
I still won’t participate in Christian cover-up culture.
Pat yourself on the back while causing more trauma, then continue to scream the words “pride” and “repent!”
Throw up cherry-picked scriptures to defend the illusion.
But note this well: you’re only farming chaos and strong-arming a false resolution.
I know you’ll then say, “It’s all about me, and not the offender!”
Then demand I make peace, saying why can’t you just monkey along with the pretender?
Sugarcoat the sophistry: “Any boundary that binds him is the persecution of Christ.”
So, all the sycophants sing: “We don’t need your discernment. Taste and see, he’s the 2nd incarnate. All innocent. Anointed!”
“Do as we say, or lose everything!”
Be that as it may: I WILL choose Christ over Christian cover-up culture.
