Are You A Pretending Christian?
Viewed Last 24 Hours: 1 time

By James Pemberton
Other Poems by James Pemberton



Are You a “Pretending” Christian?



 



During your life’s journeys,



 is there an ambition…



In becoming, what some may call,



 a “pretending Christian?



 



Do you hide the cross



under your sleeve?



When others as of Christ… 



Do you wish they’d leave?



 



Do you want others to know



 what you really believe?



What kind of answer



Would others receive?



 



Would it be an answer



of a Godly love?



In serving a God who reigns



 in the heavens above?



 



Could you share your faith



 in a savior’s saving power.



Can you be an example for Christ…



This very hour???



 



Would there be doubt of WHO



 whom you serve?



Before someone can



“throw you another curve?”



 



I pray, that as Christians,



 we can be very certain.



Of our faith in Christ,



before life’s final curtain



 



I pray that in us, others can see



Christ’ love in action



Following in his steps needs to be



 our daily reaction…



 



There’s no “undercover Christians”



serving the God that I know.



He’s looking for someone who’ll serve him



 in body, mind and soul…



 



Are you someone whom God can depend?



Can God call you;  “FRIEND?”

About the Poet
I and my wife have 4 grown children and currently live in the Pacific Northwest. I've spent much of my life doing volunteer work in the food distribution for the needy among local churches. Many of the poems I've written are a reflection of times of adversity as a reminder of God's love and faithfulness. I've found many opportunities to share my poems with those who are hurting and discouraged. I'm thankful for the reports of many of the poems touching people's lives. I hope that the poems included on Wordchimes will touch and bless your life too!
