Listen to my story
Listen to me plea
And I will tell you
About Christianity

It is the love of God
That I do tell
He forgave my sin when
Upon my face, I fell

But this is the trouble
This is my thought
I once went unnoticed
Now I feel caught

From the appearance of sin
The Word says to flee
But I am not sinning
Why can't they see

Why am I judged for what
I have not done
Can't they just see
It is harmless fun

Don't make your brother stumble
Are the words of Paul
It doesn't matter if your right
If it makes your brother fall

All is permissible
As it has been said
But not all is beneficial
If it leads to the dead

This is a great "motto" one we should  live by everyday. I really like your poem.

Excellent and about time somebody wrote about this.  It happens in every church.  Nicely written and excellent timing, when I believe God is testing the church as a whole.  Well done.
