Dead Christians
listen,
but don’t pay attention as the Preacher speaks
because they feel as though the message
does not apply to them.
They pick and choose which laws to obey,
No I won’t have sex but I’ll give him some play
... in other ways
God will be ok.
Oh no, its not really fornication,
if hes not all the way in,
God understands,
Sister who do you think you are playing?

Dead Christians
feel comfortable
in and amongst the midst of sin
so much,
that they easily blend in,
completely forgetting
we are meant to be the children
of a chosen generation,
literally spiritual aliens,
but they do this because of a lack of conviction
so I hope these words are convicting,
because sometimes you not only are,
but become
the company you keep,
and God is no longer playing.

Dead Christians
mis-interpret the Bible
for their own purposes,
polluting eager souls, mainly on purpose
so that they may be glorified
instead of Jesus the Christ.
Seeking fame among Christian friends
yet in the darkness once again they still blend in,
because through their actions
you can see they lost all influence.
Preaching love one second,
and ready to fight the next,
still trying to minister
not knowing,
they're just another Dead Christian
who just wasted their breath.

Dead Christians
Refuse to die to their flesh,
and in doing so are killing their spirit.
-- DON'T tell me you were born homosexual --
because you were also born in sin
but through Christ you can be born again,
He would give you that new beginning
if You would just LET HIM,
but, its not the sinner but the sin
that classifies this
as an act of a dead Christian
Who crucifies Christ yet again.

Dead Christians
Still yearn to be a part of the world
but if your soul is lukewarm
you make God sick to his stomach*
so stop making excuses
stop straddling the fence
for the things you do
and make a move
make vow to God that you will no longer sleep
on his laws
that you would take up your load
and bear your cross
Because there is no in between heaven or hell
no limbo
its either one or the other.

Dead Christians
use their imperfections
as an excuse for the things they do
And I do not presently stand here perfect
but I am better than I was yesterday
But the Christians that sleep
make it seem like being saved is so complicated
when its really not
we just make it look that way
Dead Christians are arrogant
to the paint where they get too caught up in their position to
believe that they too fall short
and sin,
and because of that arrogance,
sprouts a lack of repentance
A Dead Christian in that state
might not ever be ressurected.

And to be completely honest,
I too was once a dead Christian
because it was so easy
to SAY I believed.
So I put on facades like I just knew
I would be saved,
but if the last of days,
were to arrive back in those days,
I would have been destroyed
and cast away,
because my love for lust and pride
made my soul so dirty
that God could no longersee my insides.
It was then that had to make
the decision to change,
to die in my flesh
and to sin
so I no longer would exist as
another
Dead Christian.

*Rev 3:16
