"This poem is a reflection of how Christianity is appearing more and more irrelevant to society today. Using the analogy of trees, although the church is the foundational root for Christians, giving warmth, strength and hope, it is disappearing from many lives today. It is disappearing from society, and from the basic teachings of the world. People are forgetting the relevance of Christ in our lives and Christianity. It no longer seems relevant to today, and just as the trees of the forest are being destroyed, so too will man try and destroy the church and the faith of Christians. But ~ although you can destroy a book or a building, like the Bible and a church, you will never destroy the words. You will never destroy God's word ~ His unchanging truth, and undying love for us. Despite all that man does to destroy it, the church will always stand strong ~ not in a building, but in a people. For the church is not just a building, but a fellowship and gathering of God's people.
And that can never be destroyed!" |
