DOCTRINAL DEBATES<\/p>\n

by Bill Kochman<\/p>\n

08-28-2014<\/p>\n

The Devil is having a heyday,
\nThroughout our Christian land,
\nBrother fights against brother,
\nOver their doctrinal stand.<\/p>\n

Angry exchanges become rampant,
\nPride and ego come to the fore,
\nEveryone wants to be so right,
\nHumility they just all ignore.<\/p>\n

But I refuse to engage them,
\nIt is just not my cup of tea,
\nMaybe someday they’ll realize,
\nIt’s an exercise in futility.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
