The following is a poem I wrote on my way to work the other day, which communicates a major concern I have with a popular direction the Church seems to be taking anymore:

Now a goat — you have to drive him,
so you push him to and fro,
’cause a goat’s so independent,
he knows just where he wants to go;
but a sheep — he needs a Shepherd,
and he listens to one Voice;
so it seems to me, American Church,
that we have got one choice:

Don’t let purpose drive you,
when the Son of God would guide you,
and lead you in His perfect, loving plan,
for His thoughts are not like our thoughts,
and our ways are not His ways;
you have to trust when you don’t understand.
For a life that’s worth the livin’,
know that sheep are led — not driven.
