When We Tiptoe not to Trample, We Blur Lines that God Defined
/We tiptoe around the truth
Lest we trample with our tone
Bending to sin
Weakening our backbone
There’s a growing trend
among “Christians” today
To actually celebrate sin
Leading others astray
We must stop blurring the line
By championing a cause
When the line is well-defined
Turn from sin or suffer the cost
But Good News
The price has been paid
We get to choose
The Way that’s been made
So why then do we waver
And get tossed to and fro
Buying into the lies
Of our already defeated foe
What are we thinking
Condoning any transgression
With whose arms are we linking
To engage in this aggression
God’s love has been defiled
In so many different ways
Sex, gender, marriage all reviled
By the Spirit of the Age
And it is time to take a stand
Against the enemy and his lies
Know his tactics, watch his hand
See right through his disguise
We can say what we mean
And mean what we say
Without saying it mean
But in a loving way
We can do both
We can call out sin
We can give others hope
We can point them to Him
When we use our words as weapons
There is no spiritual ground to gain
When others have questions
In God’s Word we must remain
It is the Sword of the Spirit
Separating the truth from the lies
It alone can convince the skeptic
When nothing else satisfies
We must stop being swayed
By what people say
And believe instead
What God has already said.
Stop turning a blind eye
Stop continuing to deny
Stop trying to justify
Stop casually standing by
While sin is celebrated
And God’s Truth is degraded
The most loving thing
We can ever do
Is share the Gospel
Point people to Truth.
In order to do that well
We must fear God more than man
He’ll protect us as we dwell
Abide in Him, trust His plan
Let’s stop tiptoeing around truth
We’re not going to trample with our tone
Stand up and speak out against sin
Christian, strengthen that backbone

She also released a podcast episode today entitled “Gender Ideology is Revealing Its Demonic Motives.” In both, she added such clarity to the confusion surround these topics and both went hand-in-hand with this poem. You can watch the YouTube video here and listen to the podcast episode here. We cannot continue to tiptoe around the truth, Christians. If we do, we will not impact this world for Christ.}
