MY FEAR OF DOGMA

Have you noticed how dogmatic everyone is these days
Dogmatic about everything
Opinionated beyond measure
”I’m right, you’re wrong.” Settled.
We live in the world of division

Then there’s the world of feelings
’If you feel guilt, it’s wrong.”
But what if guilt is the appropriate response and the path to freedom
”If you’re feeling pressure, reject it, its wrong.”
Diamonds are made under pressure

Then we love a bit of name calling
We salivate at our tribal banners

But “There is no longer Jew or Gentile, slave or free, male and female. For you are all one in Christ Jesus.” (The apostle paul, the letter to the galatians chapter 3)

I know, I know
You’re right and you know you are
Sorry

There is one bit of dogma I truly love though
One dogmatic thing I am fully convinced of and fully committed to

Jesus Christ is
the way
the truth
the life
