Targeting Religion


Too much of what’s labeled evangelism
feels like “Stand Your Ground” unleashed:
unbridled enthusiasm relentlessly

pursuing unknown entity.
Jesus as weapon of choice;
self-righteous indignation

crosshair in which stranger is targeted;
religious superheroes leaving
faith safely locked in the basement.

Where are hearts, voices, lives
mirroring deep contentment, assurance
of Christ’s gentle, irresistible grace?
