Raymond A. Foss Poems

Back to Poems Page

The words, to share the good news
too often spoke, too easily spoken
more difficult to leave the sanctuary
to put feet and hands, to the work
to bring the message out into the world
leaving the inside of the sanctuary,
the safe comfortable space,
with shared beliefs, fellow believers
To go out into the world,
where there might be friction,
an unkind word,
where we might not be welcome
Where our beliefs may be derided
We must risk, have the faith we claim
and leave the church behind
and bring the good news
where the people live

Matthew 28:16-20
The Great Commission
