From the thread: WHAT IS THE CHURCH?

NONE OTHER!

To some, "The Church" means papal rule;
To others, merely "Sunday School."
Many see a stately steeple,
Rows of benches filled with people.

A "church" can go by any name,
With seldom any two the same:
"My Church," "Your Church," right or wrong;
This "church" is weak, and the other one's strong.

"Just attend the 'Church of Your Choice,'
Or where you like the preacher's voice;
Drop your dollar into the plate –
Sit primly posed and be sedate."

"We all shall get there bye-and-bye,
On different courses though we fly.
You think your way, and I'll think mine,
And everything will turn out fine!"

"Perform a kindness every day;
Don't get in anybody's way.
Be sure that no one you offend,
And on your own good deeds depend."

If you have followed this advice,
You'd better think about it twice:
There's only ONE TRUE CHURCH today –
The Cross of Calvary points the way!

(In Poetic Verse)

Think on these things.
