Open-Minded

It’s a shame about

All the narrow-mindedness

In our churches;



The people that call

Themselves followers

Are driving people

Away from God.



Can’t we follow

Jesus’ example?



He dined

With the worst kind,

And still showed

Compassion for them.



He pursued

Relationships with sinners

Because he wanted

To lead them to eternity.



We must accept all kinds,

Love all kinds,



Never letting them

Lead us astray

But instead guiding

Them to the light.

true... one who is not open minded can not digest change and the realities seen on groud.. its a good poem indeed
